Chapter 548: Seeking Skin with the Tiger

Compared to Xin Bi's anger, Yuan Tan was not very surprised.

"Sun Ce can do such a thing."

Simbi nodded in agreement, but was still angry. "Where this is negotiation, this is no different from forcing surrender."

Yuan Tan smiled, stretched out his hand and wanted to pat Xin Bi's arm to tell him not to be so excited, but he pulled the wound and screamed. Simbi hurriedly helped him to lie down. Yuan Tan slowed down, lay down slowly, and motioned for Xin Bi to sit down on the edge of the couch.

"George, who is the most proud lobbyist in the Warring States Policy? Zhang Yi. Why is Zhang Yi the most proud? Because he has the tiger and wolf army of the Qin State behind him. At the moment, the strongest force is Sun Ce, he naturally wants to get carried away, and Jiang Gan naturally has to speak disrespectfully. Martial artists, that's it, you expect them to be gentle and polite? ”

Simbi also smiled. "The envoy is right, if he can be gentle and elegant, he is not Sun Ce." He thought for a moment and said, "That's Zhou Yu." ”

"Zhou Yu, ah......" Yuan Tan lost his mind for a while. He knew that Xin Bi's vision was high, and ordinary people didn't enter his eyes, but he often heard Xin Bi talk about Zhou Yu, and he was very curious about this family child, but he hadn't seen it. "Sun Ce did a very clever job of asking for advice for the general."

"What the envoy said is very serious, and it is indeed a threat. However, the general has died, Yuan Yao is weak, Sun Ce is a foreign surname, and he can't support the door of the Yuan family, only the alliance leader can represent the Yuan family, and there will only be an envoy in the future. ”

Yuan Tan laughed twice and did not continue the topic. "Negotiate, Sun Ce will give me face, and I will give him face. It's true that we can't fight anymore, we have delayed too much time in Junyi, Tao Qian and Tian Kai are ready to move, if you don't teach you a lesson, this winter will not be easy. ”

Simbi didn't say anything more. If what Jiang Gan said is true, Sun Ce's injuries are really not serious, then it is very bad for Yuan Tan to persevere. Half of Yuan Tan's record comes from Sun Ce's cooperation, and if Sun Ce tears his face, the threat to Yuan Tan is too great.

"Then there is no need to give Liu Biao an order." Simbi said: "He will definitely stick to the camp and watch the Black Mountain thieves leave the city. ”

"So be it." Yuan Tan understood Xin Bi's good intentions and agreed. "You have the opportunity to ask your brother if he knows why the imperial court gave up on returning to Luoyang. I always felt that it might have been a wrong choice. ”

Simbi sighed softly, and stopped talking.

——

Jiang Gan hurried back to the camp, and Sun Ce's army had already arrived at the northeast corner outside Junyi City.

Qin Mu and Elfang led a thousand guards to roam near Liu Biao's camp, and Sun Ce set up a formation in the northeast corner of Junyi City, facing Yishan in the city, the east gate of Junyi City.

The east gate of Junyi Castle is not in the middle of the eastern city wall, but near the northeast corner. This city gate is called Yimen, and the most famous story is naturally that Xinling County stole talismans to save Zhao, and the Hou Yan who made the idea for him was the gatekeeper of Yimen. This location is Cheng Yu's defense area, but it is not far from the Chinese army camp at the city gate, and Sun Ce set up a formation here as if he was going to attack Cheng Yu and Liu Biao, which made both of them very nervous and did not dare to take it lightly.

Sun Ce was in place, and Zhu Jun in the south of the city also led his troops out of the camp and forced him to Zhu Ling's formation, forcing Zhu Ling to wait for the battle and not dare to act rashly. At the same time, Cao Bao and Xu Wei left the camp and pointed directly at Zhu Ling's left flank, and Gong Du left the camp and lined up with Cao Angjiahe.

The most nervous is Cheng Yu, he is not only likely to fall into the flank of Cao Bao and Sun Ce, but also may be attacked by the Montenegrin army behind him, and he will be attacked on three sides, once the war starts, he will be under the greatest pressure.

Fortunately, this scene did not appear. After Sun Ce suppressed Liu Biao, the Montenegrin army, who got the news, took the initiative to open the city gate, took large and small vehicles, dragged out the property, grain and grass looted from the city, and lined up behind Sun Ce.

For Sun Ce's failure to enter the city as planned, Zhang Fang was somewhat disappointed. Yu Poison, Ku Chieftain and others admired Sun Ce's formation after seeing it. Although they haven't learned any art of war, but after so many years of fighting, they know who can be provoked and who can't be provoked.

——

Liu Biao stood on the platform, looked at the battle formation in the distance, and sighed inexplicably.

After a year, Sun Ce's formation became more and more rigorous, although he had 10,000 people in hand, he could only watch the Black Mountain army go out of the city, and did not dare to make the slightest move. He had enough reason to believe that if the two sides went to war, these 10,000 people would not be Sun Ce's opponent at all, and the result would inevitably be a fiasco.

I can be regarded as preserving my strength for Yuan Tan, so as not to hurt the innocent, even if it is worth slandering. Liu Biao secretly comforted himself. He had a feeling that Yuan Tan's injury might be real, but Sun Ce's injury might be fake, and there might be some tacit understanding between him and Yuan Tan. Based on such speculation, he didn't want to fight, there was no reason for Yuan Tan to hide on the side and watch the excitement, but he had to fight with Sun Ce.

At the same time, Cheng Yu also stood on the stage and overlooked Sun Ce's position. His thick eyebrows were tightly locked, and his face was as heavy as water. Wang Yu was standing beside him. Liu Biao was worried that Cheng Yu would be unruly and go against the predetermined plan, so he specially asked Wang Yu to "cooperate" with Cheng Yu. At this moment, the two stood side by side, but Cheng Yu was so calm that Wang Yu was uneasy and a little out of breath.

"Zhongde, what do you think of Sun Ce's battle formation?"

"I'm a little worried." Cheng Yu said.

"Worried about what?"

"I'm worried that the envoy is not Sun Ce's opponent." Cheng Yu turned around and rubbed the knife ring. "Sun Jian is a tiger, Sun Ce is an eagle, and his future achievements will far surpass Sun Jian. If you do not get rid of him while he is still in his fledgling, he will suffer from him in the future. If you seek skin with a tiger, you will definitely be devoured by the tiger, but you can't be careful. ”

Wang Yu was silent for a long time, and smiled bitterly: "Zhongde, you are right, but it is not that the envoy does not want to get rid of him, but he is not able to do it." If not, why would the king go into battle and be seriously injured? ”

"What is the battle outside Xiaohuang City, who can say clearly?" Cheng Yu pointed to the battle formation in the distance. "Sun Ce's formation is so tight, he looks like he is seriously injured, so that Jun's combat exploits are hard work."

"Zhongde!" Wang Yu was taken aback and hurriedly reminded. Cheng Yu smiled: "Don't worry, I won't say anything in front of others." Don't drive, after this battle, do you think I can do anything? ”

"Does Chung Deok have any expectations?" Wang Yuhu looked at Cheng Yu suspiciously. Although Cheng Yu is a good person, he is not a person who is greedy for wealth and nobility, and it is somewhat surprising that the words of taking the initiative to ask for an official came out of his mouth.

"I don't have any big expectations, just stay away from those celebrities." Cheng Yu glanced at the direction of the Chinese army camp and looked at the eerily calm battlefield. "I'd rather lead hundreds of troops to defend a county than be in the company of these people again, and I don't want to fight this kind of battle again. If I can't get my wish, I will disarm and go into hiding, and I will make fun of my grandson. ”

Wang Yu smiled dumbly, and then sighed again. "Zhongde, I delayed you."
