Late at night, Jiang Wen put on his clothes, looked at the sleeping Tao'er opposite, and tiptoed out of the camp tent and came to Sun Jian's accommodation.

"Servant of the army, meet the general!"

"Come in."

Sun Jian did not take off his armor, and looked at an incomparably exquisite jade in front of him with sparkling eyes, which was the heirloom jade seal, and he did not hand it over to the Son of Heaven, but collected it himself.

"From now on, you will be appointed as a military advisor to sacrifice wine, and you will be given a rank of 800 stones, and you will receive 1,000 baht, and you can directly advise me on everything, and you don't need to ask for instructions again." Sun Jian retracted his gaze, looked at Jiang Wen in front of him and said.

Jiang Wen saluted and said, "Thank you!" ”

The military advisor sacrificed wine, this is the official position set up by Cao Cao for Guo Fengxiao after Cao Cao, and it came out of Sun Jian's mouth at this moment, which made Jiang Wen a little strange, Jiang Wen's eyes moved away from the jade seal, "The general is still worried about the jade seal?" ”

Sun Jian said: "The Han Dynasty has lost the artifact, and the princes of the world are divided for this reason. ”

Jiang Wen said: "The minister has spoken to the general, and the minister hopes that the general will think twice, now this jade seal is just an ordinary jade, and the general must not put his mind on a stone." ”

Sun Jian nodded and sighed, "General Ben doesn't know it!" That's it, General Ben listened to the sacrificial wine. ”

Sun Jian wrapped the jade seal, his expression was full of hesitation, Jiang Wen watched from the side, and chose to remain silent.

People who can resist the temptation of the throne often need to have a big mind, not everyone can be like King Wen of Zhou, but everyone will be like Yuan Highway.

Even Cao Cao, with the expansion of his power, was getting closer and closer to power, and finally even proclaimed himself the king of Wei, and he was only one step away from the peak of his power to ascend the throne. The reason why he did not step out was mostly because of the constraints of the Han family and the scholars, otherwise it would not be Cao Pi who was the emperor on behalf of the Han Dynasty.

There are also doubts in my heart, many interpretations of Cao Cao are loyal ministers, and everything he does is pushed here step by step by the forces behind him.

As everyone knows, Cao Cao has a famous saying: I would rather bear the people of the world than the people of the world should bear me.

Han Gaozu once said: If you are not the Liu family, you will be called the king, and the world will attack it. Cao Cao proclaimed himself the king of Wei, which was all selfish and had nothing to do with the forces behind him, it was Cao Cao himself who was already disloyal to the Han family in his heart, not the generals of the clan who pushed him behind him.

The supreme throne, the real ten thousand people, can hold the power of life and death in the world.

Jiang Wen admires those loyal people very much, but he can't understand their loyalty, such as the Han Dynasty, which has been ruined, cannot be saved at all, but there are still people who desperately want to maintain and save, this kind of foolish loyalty is admirable and a little ridiculous.

The firewood of the brazier made a crackling sound, and the spark jumped to the ground and was extinguished instantly, Sun Jian put away the jade seal in his hand, "In this case, tomorrow I will enshrine the jade seal to the Son of Heaven." ”

"General, no!" Jiang Wen said, "Now that Wancheng, the place where Jingzhou governs the state, is occupied by Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu has the same mind as the general, and he also wants to seize Jingzhou, and the general wants to attack Jingzhou now, Liu Biao will definitely send an envoy to meet Yuan Shu, and promise heavy profits, and Yuan Shu is likely to attack the rear of our army at that time!" ”

Sun Jian nodded, "This Yuan Shu is indeed a villain who forgets his righteousness for profit, can he have a good plan for sacrificing wine?" ”

"Give Yuan Shu the jade seal, stabilize Yuan Shu, as long as you can take Jingzhou before, you can ask Yuan Shu to hand over the jade seal in the name of the Son of Heaven, if Yuan Shu does not hand it over, then the private jade seal is a traitor, and immediately order the king of the world's soldiers and horses!"

Jiang Wen said: "In troubled times, wars should be used for strategy, and governance should be used for benevolence, Yuan Shu is a capricious villain, why should the general take it to heart." ”

Sun Jian pondered for a moment, reluctantly stroked the jade seal again, handed it into Jiang Wen's hand, and said solemnly: "In this way, are you willing to send Yuan Shu to the general's order?" ”

"The minister should do his best and do his best!"

Jingzhou is a place extending in all directions, the north can be based on the Han Dynasty, the South China Sea, the east is connected with Wuhui, and the west is connected to Bashu, occupying the time and place, and it is the place where the army is used. The west can enter Yizhou, the north can march into the Central Plains, and the east can attack Jiangdong.

The army set off from Luoyang, drove three hundred miles towards Wancheng, and arrived at Wancheng in three days, Jiang Wen looked at the cloth bag in front of him, in the pattern that the Han Dynasty has lost the artifact, I really don't think this piece of jade is very important.

In the early morning of the second day, Jiang Wen had two fast horses in front of him, holding the holy decree of the Son of Heaven in his hands, and handed them to the messenger in front of him, "This is the holy decree issued by the Son of Heaven to Moling, you don't have to take a fast horse, but remember not to lose it!" You can stay in Moling first, and after the general has pacified Jingzhou, you can hand it over to the Moling Taishou. ”

"The subordinates obey the order, and the subordinates must be sent to the death!"

Jiang Wen sat on the fast horse in front of him, and Lu Meng also sat on the other one, Jiang Wen looked at Lu Meng and said with a light smile: "Yuan Shuxiao is not friendly to our army, do you really want to accompany me?" ”

Lu Meng rolled his eyes, "You are the one who is my other Sima for nothing?" If he wants to do it, I'll take you out of Wancheng! ”

Sun Ce saluted and said: "Changsu, Ziming, our army is preparing a feast in the rear, I hope you two will triumphant!" ”

Jiang Wen glanced at Tao'er, took the horse whip, and shouted, "Drive!" ”

Wancheng, the four sides are high and the middle is down, the city wall stands tall and magnificent, a long and wide moat, it is built like a rock, west, north, east, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and it was also considered to be the foundation of the Central Plains before!

Yuan Shu had 40,000 soldiers and horses, occupied Wancheng, and looked at the map in front of him with a sad face, Liu Biao had fled to Xiangyang in order to avoid himself, such a large piece of land.

Yuan Shu looked at a slightly old man beside him, with white hair and beard, and asked: "Yang Changshi, Master Yan, our army has 40,000 soldiers and horses in Wanchengtun, where should we enter Jingzhou?" ”

Yan Xiang saluted and said: "The minister thinks that our army should first occupy Runan and Xinye, recruit troops and horses in the three cities, and after cultivating for some time, then enter Xiangyang!" ”

Yang Hong said: "The minister thinks that Lord Yan's plan is not proper, now that Liu Biao has occupied all of Jingzhou, and the soldiers and horses in Xiangyang City are empty, our army should go straight to Xiangyang and abandon Wancheng!" ”

"Most of Liu Biao's subordinates are strong generals, not mediocre talents!" Yan Xiang said: "Yang Changshi should cultivate precisely because Liu Biao occupied Jingzhou and our army, Jingzhou is a state, the thief army is raging, the people's hearts are scattered, Liu Biao will not spend a few years to calm down, our army will recruit troops and horses according to the land of the three cities and then attack, Liu Biao has no way to resist at all!" ”

Yang Changshi said disdainfully: "He is really short-sighted, so he praises the enemy and belittles himself, a certain Yan Xiang, you are saying that our army is mediocre?!" ”

Yuan Shu said: "Okay, it's all quiet, Sun Jian is coming to us with an army of 60,000 in the rear, and it is impossible to recruit troops, so I will adopt Yang Changshi's strategy." ”

"Report, Sun Jian's military advisor sacrificed wine to the holy decree of the Son of Heaven, and came to deliver the decree to the general!"

Yuan Shu stood up, "Sun Jian? Still by the Holy Decree of the Son of Heaven?! Isn't this old boy plotting against me Wancheng? ”

"Pass in!"

Jiang Wen held his head high, holding the holy decree of the Son of Heaven in his hand, and Lu Meng on the side held the jade seal in his hand, handed over the soldiers in his hand to the guards, and entered with Jiang Wen.
