Wulu was embarrassed.

The direct executor of Sun Jian's contact with the Montenegrin Army is Gong Du, Gong Du not only met with Zhang Yan many times, but also carried Liu Bi's handwritten letter, which can be described as full of sincerity. But Zhang Yan didn't see him, which made him very shameless.

Wulu further suspected that the reason why Sun Ce obstructed was Gong Du, and he must have said a lot of bad things about Zhang Yan in front of Sun Ce, so as soon as Sun Ce heard about the envoy of the Black Mountain Army, he immediately pulled Zhu Jun away. Otherwise, he should at least listen to what he has to say. Now Guo Jia suggested that he go to Gong Du, naturally to let Gong Du save face and break the spirit of the Black Mountain Army.

But in this way, Zhang Yan's dignity was lost.

Wulu was very entangled and didn't speak for a long time.

Guo Jia didn't say much, arched his hands, shook the feather fan and left, graceful, but the leg injury was not healed, he had to cross his legs when he walked, and his steps were relatively open, looking a bit like a rampant crab. When he returned to the big tent, Sun Ce was talking to Zhang Hong and Pang Tong, and Yin Jian had prepared the medicine and was waiting to change it for him. Sun Ce said that Guo Jia would give him an explanation of the sixteen-character mantra when he was injured, so he was very attentive.

After changing the medicine, Guo Jia returned to the front tent and sat down on the side.

"It's okay to walk, right?"

"It's okay." Guo Jia said with a smile: "In a few days, the last bit of scab will fall off, and there will be nothing." General, those sixteen-character mantra is really good, I think it is not only worth sixteen ingots of gold, it is simply gold that cannot be exchanged. ”

Sun Ce smiled and said nothing, but Yin Jian pricked up his ears. No wonder Guo Jia recovered so quickly, it turned out that he had already begun to cultivate the sixteen-character mantra.

"What did Wulu say?"

"General, we really underestimated Yuan Shao." Guo Jia shook his head with a smile and told him what Wulu had inquired about.

Since Zhang Hong entered the scene, Sun Ce, out of economic balance and his energy, asked him to reduce the number of people who worked in detail. Now he mainly understands the affairs of Hebei and monitors some key figures, and is not clear about some insider details. When Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan were fighting, he knew a little about the Black Mountain Army's attack on Yecheng, but he didn't say it in such detail as Wulu. Looking back now, Yuan Shao was able to defeat Gongsun Chan in that situation, and this perseverance is also rare.

Sun Ce was also surprised, only Zhang Hong disagreed.

"The Montenegrin army didn't suddenly appear there, and it wasn't an accident that they colluded with Gongsun Zhan, why didn't Yuan Shao take precautions before he set out on the expedition? If it weren't for Tao Sheng, even if he defeated Gongsun Zhan, it would be difficult for him to maintain the victory. It's just a fluke. It is not so much his perseverance as his forbearance, this kind of person can share hardships and hardships, but not wealth and prosperity. ”

Guo Jia nodded and said, "Mr. is reasonable. Speaking of which, Yuan Shao is indeed somewhat similar to Gou Jian. Gou Jian has been in Wu for three years, as a slave, his wife is a maid, and he has a salary. Yuan Shao has been guarding the tomb of the party for six years, and he is a person who forbears. After Gou Jian destroyed Wu, Fan Liyin died. Now Yuan Shao has not succeeded, first kill Qiao Mao, and then kill Han Fu. If he can achieve great things, I don't know how many people will suffer. ”

Sun Ce was surprised. "Yuan Shao has been guarding the tomb for six years, is it for the party?"

Of course, Yuan Shao's wife is the daughter of Li Yuanli, Li Yuanli is the leader of the party, and Yuan Shao can get the support of the party today, and most of his connections come from Li Yuanli. Otherwise, with the reputation of the Yuan family, how could it be possible to get the support of the party. Before Yuan Shao, the Yuan family had always kept a distance from the party, but they were closer to their relatives and eunuchs. Yuan Shao's father, Yuan Cheng, was a close confidant of the general Liang Ji. Yuan Shao, Yuan Kui, and Yuan Ji parted ways, and there is also a pulse to follow. It's just that when Yuan Kui and Yuan Feng loved Yuan Shao, I am afraid they didn't expect Yuan Shao to repay them like this. ”

Guo Jia shook his head, his eyes showing contempt. "Kiss the virtuous, people don't love their relatives, how can they love others. If such people are allowed to become the masters of the world, it is really a blind sky. ”

Zhang Hong's eyes were pleased, and he stroked his beard and smiled.

Sun Ce saw it in his eyes and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Guo Jiatou Cao Cao was probably forced to have no choice but to ask for a chance to display his talents. Zhang Hong is more demanding than him. He didn't look down on Cao Cao, even if Cao Cao intended to keep him, he abandoned him and wanted to return to Jiangdong. It's a pity that Sun Ce died early, but Sun Quan's personality is similar to Gou Jian, and they have always been separated, not as close as he and Sun Ce.

Sun Ce was also cruel and ruthless in killing the Jiangdong clan, but he was extremely good to his family. Sun Jian died, and he gave Sun Jian's title of Marquis of Wucheng to his fourth brother Sun Kuang, and earned another Marquis of Wu for himself. In contrast, it is quite in line with the Confucian standard of intimacy.

Do you think you chose him? For a real talent, it is he who chooses you.

"Two, tell me, should we go and save the Black Mountain Army?"

Zhang Hong and Guo Jia exchanged a look, and Zhang Hong spoke first. "General, although the Montenegrin Army is also a Yellow Turban, they sit back and watch Gongsun Chan destroy the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, and the heart of secession is already obvious, since it is different from the Runan Yellow Turban, it is difficult to surrender like the Runan Yellow Turban, and it is even not as easy to drive as the Qingzhou Yellow Turban. In my opinion, it's okay to make them suffer a little. However, the enmity between the Montenegrin Army and Yuan Shao is deep, and it is difficult to resolve it in the short term. With the Montenegrin army on the side, Yuan Shao is fighting on two fronts, which is very beneficial to us, and it is not appropriate to sit back and watch them be exterminated by Yuan Shao. ”

Sun Ce nodded and looked at Guo Jia again. Guo Jia asked Wulu to save Gong Du to intercede, which has already shown his attitude.

Guo Jia said: "Mr. Zigang is right. It is still necessary to save it, but how to save it, when to save it, and to what extent, this initiative must be in the hands of the general, and it cannot be decided by Zhu Jun, let alone by the Montenegrin army. In my opinion, this may be a good time to make a deal with Yuan Tan. It is beneficial for us to help Yuan Tan control Yanzhou and let Yuan Shao focus on Gongsun Zan and Zhang Yan. Zhu Ling's loyalty to Yuan Shao or Yuan Tan, the current situation is unclear, we can test it. If he is loyal to Yuan Shao, we will do Yuan Tan a favor and get rid of this person. ”

Sun Ce couldn't help but smile and looked at Pang Tong again. "Shi Yuan, do you have any suggestions, tell me."

Pang Tongzheng was fascinated by what he heard, and when he saw Sun Ce consulting his opinion, he was a little embarrassed, and waved his hand again and again: "The two gentlemen said that it makes sense, and I agree very much." ”

Zhang Hong said: "Shiyuan, although you speak out, don't have any scruples, since it is a discussion, you have to express your views for the general's reference." No matter who it is, it is impossible to cover everything, there are always negligences, and it is possible to be small and big. ”

Pang Tong looked at Sun Ce, and Sun Ce nodded encouragingly. Pang Tong followed him relatively early, at the beginning he followed him as a half-man to learn and plan, the starting point was not high, and now there are two master-level colleagues Zhang Hong and Guo Jia, he is inevitably under some pressure. But Pang Tong, who grew up like this, should be stronger than the phoenix chicks in history, right?

"Shiyuan, let's talk about it, it's okay to be wrong, it's also a good thing to ask Mr. Zigang and Fengxiao for advice."

Pang Tong responded: "I think this is an opportunity to train with battle." The generals under the command of the captain are relatively lazy, and they think that those with more soldiers are stronger, so they are eager to recruit all those who can leave, and there are many people who are indiscriminate. Let them streamline their staff, they certainly don't want to. Let them go into battle to fight for merit and prepare for King Qin, they can't refuse. With them charging in front and the general in the center, some unnecessary casualties can also be reduced. ”

"Reasonable." Before Pang Tong's words fell, Zhang Hong nodded and praised: "The general has the wisdom to know people, Shiyuan has such insight at such a young age, and he will be a filial piety in the future." ”
