Chapter 150: Misfortune is not a one-way street
Yuan Shu jumped like thunder, pulled out Qiyao, and split the case in front of him into two with a knife, and the cups and plates on the case rolled to the ground.
Cao Cao sent Cao Ang away, asked him to rush to Yecheng, and stayed to defend the city, the intention was obvious, this was to hold Wancheng at all costs, drag Yuan Shu, buy time for Yuan Shao, and pave the way for his son Cao Ang. In the future, Yuan Shao will take care of Cao Ang more or less for his credit.
In other words, Cao Cao would rather die than switch to Yuan Shu. Any negotiations, any exchange of hostages, are nothing more than a delaying tactic.
Before Cai Mao finished speaking, Yuan Shu exploded, scolded, and shouted that he would immediately attack the city and hack Cao Cao to death with his own hands to relieve the hatred in his heart. Yan Xiang hurriedly hugged him and persuaded him hard. The hostages are still held in Cao Cao's hands, if he really wants to attack the city, Cao Cao will push the generals' families out, whoever attacks the city will cut down their families, who will dare to move when the time comes?
Besides, do you think that now there is an advantage with more troops? You don't want to think about what happened to those extra troops, they were still a part of the Nanyang family not long ago, and now let them attack Wancheng, when the time comes, their family master will raise his arms and shout, it is light to abandon his weapons and surrender, and he will not be able to turn against the battle, and kill us by surprise.
Yuan Shu's face turned blue with anger, and he fell on the mat and gasped.
Sun Ce sat on the sidelines, and also felt that the situation was not optimistic. Yan Xiang has a point, this Wancheng really can't be attacked easily. The additional 10,000 or so troops are simply unreliable. Do you think that if you capture them, they will die for you? Hehe, maybe they're waiting for a chance to stab you. Why did Yuan Shu merge him and Zhou Yu into the Chinese army? It's not that I'm worried about the safety of the newly attached soldiers in the battalion. If this goes to the battlefield, who knows if they will go straight to their old master, or turn against each other.
"Get out, get out of here!" Yuan Shu kicked half of the case in front of him, and scolded repeatedly.
Yan Xiang shook his head, sighed, glanced at Sun Ce deeply, and walked away from the big tent, and the others also walked out, except for Sun Ce, only Yuan Shu was left alone in the big tent. Yuan Shu let out a long sigh, he didn't even have the strength to scold, he collapsed on the seat, looked at the top of the tent with his eyes, and laughed strangely.
Sun Ce also sighed in his heart. He inexplicably remembered the last record that Yuan Shu left in history, and it was still somewhat consistent with the scene in front of him. Could it be that this is fate, no matter how he tosses, he is the fate of all betrayals? Or did my arrival not only save him, but hasten his demise?
Thinking of Yan Xiang's glance, Sun Ce felt uneasy in his heart. Fighting the family is a point of no return. Don't look at you jumping happily, one day I will settle the account with you. is like the perverse Dong Zhuo, just like Cao Cao, who clamped down on the heroic, one was assassinated by the family and directly lit the sky lantern, and the other fought with the family for a lifetime, and in the end the coffin board was lifted by the family.
Is that all? That's not good, since you have chosen to fight, even if you are crushed, you must fight to the end.
But how can we solve the dilemma in front of us? If the troubles in front of you can't be solved, even the family in Nanyang can't be even, so what can you talk about competing with the family in the world.
Just when Sun Ce began to doubt his life, a familiar voice suddenly came from outside the tent, followed by a commotion. Yuan Shu sat up and was just about to rush out, but Sun Ce stopped in front of him and said in a low voice, "General, I'll take a look." ”
Yuan Shu stared at Sun Ce for a moment, nodded vigorously, and slowly sat back.
Sun Ce turned around and walked out of the tent, first called Lei Bo who was stopped at the door of the tent, and asked him to arrange someone to change the case for Yuan Shu and clean up the big tent. Lei Bo glanced at Sun Ce, turned his head and glanced into the big tent, and saw that the tent was in a mess, Yuan Shu hung his head and sat in a piece of debris, and hurriedly turned around to make arrangements.
Sun Ce walked forward and pushed away the crowd huddled together, but what he saw was Zhou Yu. Sun Ce was stunned for a moment, why did Zhou Yu come back, shouldn't he go to Wuguan to welcome Cai Yong? He was just about to speak, when he realized that there was another person beside Zhou Yu, an old man who was dusty. He has outstanding appearance, good facial features, especially a high and straight nose, which makes people look ugly. It's just that now his mental state is very bad, his face is full of sorrow, the white hair on his sideburns is trembling, and he is beating his spirit and Yan Xiang and the others are cold and noisy, his voice is hoarse, accompanied by a muffled cough.
This is Cai Yong, the world-famous celebrity, known as the most versatile talent in the Later Han Dynasty? I feel that he can't live to write a tombstone for Yuan Shu, but it seems that he will soon write a tombstone for himself.
Sun Ce beckoned to Zhou Yu and pulled him aside. Before he could speak, Zhou Yu smiled bitterly: "Bo Fu, something happened." ”
Sun Ce chuckled in his heart. Although Zhou Yu is young, he has developed a temperament that is invisible, and it is rare for him to lose his temper like this. He looked at Cai Yong in the crowd, and then looked at Yan Xiang and the others who were overflowing with excitement, and a strong uneasiness surged in his heart. He pressed the beating heartbeat and quickly sorted out his thoughts, and then whispered, "What's the matter?" ”
"Dong Zhuo wants to take advantage of the fire to rob, the 50,000 Xiliang army is divided into two routes, one is led by Pingdong Zhonglang and Niu Fu, and the other is led by Xu Rong, the general of Dangkou, and Wuguan, who is going to Nanyang to kill, and wants to force the general to submit and send the proton to Chang'an."
Sun Ce gasped. I'll go, this is really a house leak when it's raining, and the boat is broken when it's a head wind. Cao Cao's bone was stuck in his throat and had not been resolved, and Dong Zhuo sent two armies to attack, which was Yuan Shu's life. No wonder Cai Yong was so tired, he probably came from Chang'an in the starry night, in order to buy Yuan Shu a little time.
After a little thought, Sun Ce understood the change. Yuan Shu sent people to Chang'an to pay tribute to expose his hypocrisy, originally Dong Zhuo did not dare to send troops easily, but now the Yuan brothers are infighting, Yuan Shu was occupied by Cao Cao's black tiger heart, and immediately seized the opportunity and sent the most warlike generals under him to force Yuan Shu to bow his head. Yuan Shu has only one son, once he is sent to Chang'an and becomes a hostage, even if Yuan Shu's weakness is pinched by Dong Zhuo, he will have to bow down and listen to Dong Zhuo's drive in the future.
I originally wanted to ask for help, but I didn't expect to attract a bad wolf, which really lifted a stone and shot myself in the foot. If Yan Xiang knew about this result, he would definitely see their jokes and put all the blame on them. This idea was Zhou Yu at the time, but now it is self-defeating and has caused trouble, and it is understandable that Zhou Yu is in a mess for a while. After all, he is still young and inexperienced, and he is not the experienced governor in the prime of life during the Battle of Chibi.
"Isn't it Xu Rong and Niu Fu? I'm afraid! Sun Ce's heart was crossed, but he calmed down. He patted Zhou Yu on the shoulder hard. "The soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth. Come one, I'll kill one, come two, I'll kill him. Gong Jin, our chance to make a name for ourselves has come. ”
Zhou Yu looked at Sun Ce, his eyes were suspicious, but he was inexplicably relieved. "Bo Fu, with your words, I am relieved. Okay, try and cool the soldiers' condition to see if they are really that powerful. ”
