Chapter 518: Friend and Foe
Sun Ce held the reins in his left hand, held the overlord in his right hand to kill, and galloped lightly.
Zhang Fei chased after him. He looked at the overlord kill in Sun Ce's hand, envious, and glanced at it from time to time. Sun Ce shook it. "Looks good, right?"
"It's good-looking, and it's domineering." Zhang Fei didn't hide it, and nodded again and again.
Sun Ce's overlord kill is indeed beautiful, the whole is made of stainless steel, red paint on a black background, the dark red pattern is like a phoenix tail, the back is thick and sharp, the body is straight, and the snow pattern is all over. It has both a cold murderous spirit and a romantic beauty of the Chu people, as if it is a work of art full of danger.
"I'll get you one later?" Sun Ce said with a smile. In the romance, Zhang Fei used a snake spear, but Zhang Fei in front of him used an ordinary spear, which was really a bit unworthy of Zhang Sanye's prestige.
"Me?" Zhang Fei laughed, although he didn't speak, he was obviously moved. "General, what if...... I mean, if, if you're surrounded by Yuan Tan later, do you really plan to surrender Yuan Tan? ”
Sun Ce thought for a moment. "Zhang Yide, if you are really cornered, you can't kill it, and surrender is actually nothing. Do your best, have a clear conscience, and don't be ashamed. It's good to sacrifice one's life, but that's too demanding to ask everyone. I'm not a saint, and I can't think of anyone worthy of my life. From this point of view, I actually envy Liu Xuande. He has you and Guan Yunchang, and this life is worth it. ”
Zhang Fei didn't say a word, his eyes flashed.
"The situation is critical and I have to take a risk and try to delay a little time. The soldiers are not tired of cheating, I can be deceived, I can be deceived, and if I can't be deceived, I will fight with him. If you can't do it desperately, then you have to surrender. But with your help, it's not so easy for Yuan Tan to catch me. ”
Zhang Fei couldn't help but laugh. "I often hear people say that the Wu people are cunning, and sure enough, the general can be described as fierce as a tiger and as cunning as a fox."
Sun Ce laughed and asked rhetorically: "I often hear people say that Yan Zhao is a righteous person, but I don't know if it's right. ”
The two of them were talking and laughing as they galloped forward, and it didn't take long for them to see Yuan Tan's battle flag. Sun Ce maintained his speed and went straight to Yuan Tan, first meeting the leading knights, those knights didn't know Sun Ce, but they knew Zhang Fei, and hurriedly shouted to stop.
"Stop, what are you doing here? Zhang Fei, who is this? ”
Zhang Fei rushed over and shouted in a deep voice: "Blind your dog's eyes, you don't even know Sun Chao, and you dare to fight him." Get out of the way and tell Yuan Yuanjun that the rebellious general wants to meet him face-to-face and ask him if he dares to come. ”
Hearing that it was Sun Ce, those knights were taken aback, and subconsciously clenched their weapons, scattered in all directions, and surrounded Sun Ce in the middle. Sun Ce sneered, circled the horse, turned around twice, and looked around. Zhang Fei shouted: "What are you rubbing, you can't understand people's words?" If you provoke Lao Tzu, you will be stabbed to death with a spear. ”
The knights looked at each other, and although they were annoyed that Zhang Fei was rude, they did not dare to attack. They had all heard of Zhang Fei's martial arts, and knew that although there were many of them, they might not be Zhang Fei's opponents, not to mention that there was a Sun Ce next to him. Looking at the weapon in his hand, you know that he is even more dangerous than Zhang Fei. They formed a circle, fully guarded, and only sent one person to rush back to report to Yuan Tan.
Hearing that Sun Ce asked to see him, he only had Zhang Fei by his side, Yuan Tan was a little confused, and he didn't know what Sun Ce was doing. He ordered the guards to stop advancing, and ordered Mu Yuanzi to meet Sun Ce to see what his intentions were. Mu Yuanzi took a few knights and rode a horse to Sun Ce, looked at Sun Ce, and arched his hand.
"Rebel General?"
"It's Sun." Sun Ce stood sideways and did not return the courtesy. "Why, Yuan Yuanjun doesn't want to come to see me, so there's no need to talk about it?"
Mu Yuanzi was displeased. He is Yuan Tan's cavalry governor, and he is valued by people wherever he goes, but Sun Ce is so arrogant that he is very uncomfortable. He also sank his face and shouted, "Yuan Yuanjun can be seen by anyone who wants to." If you have anything, tell me quickly, let me report to Yuan Yuanjun, and then decide whether to see or not to see after he has considered it. ”
Sun Ce smiled. "Zhou Gong was an assistant back then, and he still knew Corporal Lixian, one bath and three grips of hair, one meal and three spit feeding. Yuan Mengzhu is in Luoyang, seeing the heroes of the world, whether they know it or not, they treat everyone equally. Although Sun is not a celebrity, he has been fighting against Yuan Yuanjun for several months, and he has not yet been defeated. What's the matter, I want to meet Yuan Yuanjun and hand over the name thorn and pay homage? Or is he afraid of me and afraid to see me? ”
"You ......" Mu Yuanzi was speechless for a moment, and held back for a long time before asking, "You...... You know that you are an enemy of Yuan Yuanjun, why did you come to see you? ”
"Friends and foes are all in the same thought. Enemies can also respect each other, and friends can turn against each other, what's so strange about that? Who are you, how could there be a stupid thing like you by Yuan Yuanjun's side, no wonder Yuan Mengzhu didn't like him and sent him to Yanzhou to die. ”
Mu Yuanzi was furious, but he didn't dare to attack. He is Yuan Tan's confidant, of course he knows what suspicions there are between Yuan's father and son, and he also knows that Yuan Tan and Sun Ce have secret dealings, but he doesn't know what kind of agreement they have. At this moment, he was reprimanded as a fool by Sun Ce, but he was obsessed. He rolled his eyes, motioned for his subordinates to look at Sun Ce, and turned to report to Yuan Tan.
Yuan Tan was also confused. However, he was much smarter than Mu Yuanzi, and he heard the meaning of Sun Ce's words. He weighed it for a moment and decided to meet with Sun Ce. For the sake of safety, he ordered Mu Yuanzi to select a few knights with excellent martial arts, and ordered someone to inform Xinbi. It didn't take long, and Simbi hurried over.
"Envoy, could it be a delaying tactic?"
Yuan Tan nodded and said, "There is indeed this possibility." However, even if he was delaying the army, I would like to meet him. As he spoke, he gave Simbi a deep look. Xin Bi understood, and said after a moment of silence: "What the envoy said is very true, but Sun Ce is cunning, and I am worried that he will be unfavorable to the envoy." Instead, I'll find out what he's talking about. Command the army to move on, surround him first. ”
Yuan Tan shook his head. "As I said, even if he is delaying the army, I want to meet him. Sending troops to surround it is tantamount to forcing him to surrender, how can he bow his head? When the time comes, it's better to have a fight. ”
Xin Bi knew what Yuan Tan was thinking, and it was difficult to persuade him again, so he had to propose that he go to see Yuan Tan first. Yuan Tan didn't object, he was also worried that Sun Ce's surprise attack in front of the formation would be unfavorable to him, so it would certainly be better for Xin Bi to go and probe the wind. Moreover, although he wanted to recruit Sun Ce, he did not believe that Sun Ce would surrender at this time. Jiang Qi had just been beheaded by him, and they met immediately, and the news reached Yuan Shao's ears, and he couldn't explain it.
Xin Bi came to the front of the formation, and the horse came to Sun Ce, stopped a few steps apart, and arched his hand.
"Rebel general, don't come unharmed?"
Sun Ce was surprised and returned the salute. "George Sin, it turned out to be you. Was you the one who commanded in Jiang Qi's camp just now? ”
"It's Xin." Xin Bi didn't want to gossip too much with Sun Ce and waste his time. "Is the general here to ask for surrender, or is he here to ask for battle? If it is to surrender, please dismount and be bound, and follow me to see Yuan Yuanjun. If it is a request for war, then ask the general to return to the battle, and we will go to war at once. ”
Sun Ce smiled: "I'm not asking to surrender, because I haven't lost yet, so why surrender?" I'm not asking for war, enough people have died today, there is no need to hurt more innocents. ”
"Neither asking for surrender nor seeking war, why did the general come?"
"Is there no other choice but to surrender and war?" Sun Ce sighed, full of disappointment. "George Xin, you are also a scholar, how can you open your mouth and close your mouth to fight and kill, don't you know that peace is precious in the world, and fighting is only the last resort?"
