"Send a chance?"

"Yes, before going to war, Yuan Yuanjun must collect the power of the army. If Zhu Ling and Liu Bei still refused to listen to his command, he would send them to face Sun Ce and watch them defeat Sun Ce. When they lose their generals, do they still have the strength to compete with Yuan Yuanjun? If they were willing to listen to the command, Yuan Yuanjun would defeat Sun Ce and his prestige would be greatly enhanced, and Zhu Ling and Liu Bei would not dare to disobey his orders. Yuan Yuanjun has gained a firm foothold in Yanzhou since then. ”

Cao Ang slapped his thigh and suddenly realized.

"However, why did Sun Ce give Yuan Envoy a chance?" Chen Gong asked again: "It stands to reason that Sun Ce should use this opportunity to break through, why did he remind Yuan Yuanjun?" ”

"I know that." Cao Ang was excited. Yuan Yuanjun and Sun Ce became good friends, and sent Lu Wenwei to greet him many times. He also wanted to buy a knife, but Sun Ce might have considered that Zhang Chenliu minded, so he refused, and was only willing to sell him some paper and carriages. A few days ago, a batch of grain was sent to Yingchuan. ”

"Why?" Chen Gong asked: "Why did Sun Ce help Yuan Yuanjun, and why did Yuan Yuanjun buy things from Sun Ce?" ”

"This ......" Cao Ang pondered for a long time, and his eyes lit up. Sun Ce needed Yuan Yuanjun to sit in Yanzhou, so that he didn't have to directly face Yuan Mengzhu. Yuan Yuanjun also needs Sun Ce's cooperation, so that he can sit in Yanzhou and expand his strength. ...... in the future"

Chen Gong smiled and nodded. "Zixiu, that's right, it's better to keep the middle than to talk too much. Zhu Lingming is clear about the use of soldiers and ignores the hearts of the people, and in the future, you must distinguish which words he can agree with and which words must remain neutral. ”

Cao Ang was grateful, and asked again: "Brother Gongtai, do you think that the Yuan family and father are fighting, who will win or lose?" ”

Chen Gong straightened up and snorted: "Yuan Ben was powerful at the beginning, but he was hard-hearted, it was easy to win the world, but it was difficult to defend the world, and the Zhang Mengzhuo brothers had been running for him for many years, but now they have parted ways." Although Yuan Yuanjun is young, he is a filial son, but he wants to abolish the elder and the youngest. Even if such a person succeeds, he will not let the people around him share the wealth. It's just that at the moment, there is a huge disparity in strength, and even Yuan Yuanjun has to be obscure, so you don't have to rush to show your attitude, just do your duty. The golden mean, too much. ”

Cao Ang nodded repeatedly.

Liu Bei returned to the big tent, stood in the tent, and let out a long sigh.

Jian Yong was very surprised to see that he was in a bad mood. "Fujun, what happened?"

Liu Bei just sighed and didn't say a word. Jian Yong had no choice but to turn to Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei clenched his fists and shouted, "What else can I do." Sun Ce's erector came to sow discord again and humiliate the prince. I really want to go and duel him right now, and take his life with a spear. ”

Jian Yong inquired about the situation while comforting, and after listening, he frowned and said to Liu Bei: "Fujun, it is common for enemies and friends to insult each other, and it is normal for Sun Ce to say some ugly things in order to demoralize our army, so why should you be angry because of this?" ”

Liu Bei smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Xianhe, I'm not annoyed by Sun Ce's words. I envy them. Look at Sun Ce, at the age of seventeen or eighteen, he led a state on behalf of his father, and now he has the trust of Taiwei Zhu, as the forward general, leading 10,000 people alone. Yuan Tan was just over 20 years old, and he had only been fighting for a few years, and he had only been in Yanzhou for more than a month, and he had a lot of talents under his tent and tens of thousands of troops. Even that Cao Ang also has Chen Gong and Wei Zhen to help. That Chen Gong is from Dongjun, I have repeatedly complimented me, but he abandoned me and wanted to assist Cao Ang. Now that Cao Ang has returned to the camp, he must have discussed with him. What about us, we are just these four people, how can we fight them, and when will we be able to achieve meritorious deeds? ”

Liu Bei's nose was sour, and his eye circles were red. He wiped his tears and sighed. "People often say that thirty and stand, I Liu Bei is already thirty and two this year, his deeds have not been established, and he is alone, why is God so unfair, and he is so generous."

Jian Yong also sighed, and he was not even in the mood to persuade Liu Bei. It's not better than not knowing, it's more frightening. The gap is too big. Liu Bei's foundation is too thin to be compared with Yuan Tan and Sun Ce, even Cao Ang is countless times stronger than Liu Bei. What day will we see hope?

"A dignified husband, crying and crying." Guan Yu was annoyed, his face was gloomy, and he got up and walked out. "The defeat of Xiao County is my fault, I will go to Sun Ce for a decisive battle and atone for my crimes."

Liu Bei hurriedly got up and grabbed Guan Yu. "Yun Chang, how can I blame you, I'm just complaining about the way of heaven."

Guan Yu looked up to the sky and sighed, and he had nowhere to vent his depression, so he could only clench his fists and secretly be ruthless.

Sun Ce walked into Guo Jia's tent.

Guo Jia walked back and forth in the tent with his arms open and barefoot, the feather fan in his hand was whirring, but he was still covered in sweat. Zhou Tai followed him with a big pu fan and fanned it violently, but he was sweating profusely but didn't have time to wipe it, so he could only take the time to wipe the beads of sweat that flowed in front of him with his sleeve.

Hearing the footsteps, Guo Jia turned his head and saw that it was Sun Ce, so he stopped, scraped the feather fan twice, and waved his hand at Jiang Qin. Jiang Qin picked up a paper roll from the desk and handed it to Sun Ce with both hands. Sun Ce unfolded it and took a look, it was a summary of the intelligence of the last few days, with the names of the main generals and strategists under Yuan Tan's command on it. On this, he saw several familiar names at once.

Mao Jue, Cheng Yu, Chen Gong, these are all well-known strategists, they were originally Cao Cao's men, but now two have become Yuan Tan's subordinates, and one has become Cao Ang's henchmen, Liu Bei, the Taishou of Dongjun, has not even fished a single hair. It seems that it is impossible for him to replace Cao Cao, but Yuan Tan may surpass Cao Cao.

"For the time being, I haven't heard the news of Yu Ban and Lejin, maybe the official position is too low." Guo Jia said. "General, I need more men."

Sun Ce smiled. Although Yu Ban and Leban are both Yanzhou people, they were born in the army, history has changed, and they may not have been promoted to meritorious service now. He put away the paper roll and pulled Guo Jia out of the big tent. "Okay, there's enough news here, how can everything be clear, you're just injured, don't be too tired."

"Alas, if I don't get enough details, I always feel unsure."

Sun Ce pulled Guo Jia forward. In the past few days in Zhongmu, Guo Jia has been drowning in intelligence almost every day, and the scouts and meticulous work of the scout camp have been constantly coming back, and he wants to summarize and screen this news, and then connect it, and then arrange new tasks, so busy that he doesn't even have a chance to get out of the account. The eyes grew brighter and brighter, but the face became paler and paler. "Fengxiao, although your temperament is difficult to change, and you will definitely not be able to do it like Mr. Zigang, but you also have to control it properly, don't be too tired. There are some things that can be left to Ziming and a few of them, and I think they do a good job. ”

Guo Jia smiled, and his expression gradually relaxed. "They are making rapid progress, especially Ziming, who is naturally suitable for this profession. However, after all, their study time is too short, and some things still need to be checked by me personally, otherwise I will not be able to sleep well. ”

"You don't give them the opportunity to exercise, they grow more slowly. You have to learn to delegate power and tolerate their mistakes, as long as they don't make big mistakes. ”

Guo Jia laughed. "The general has a point. In that case, how about we just relax and go fishing? ”

"Okay. Call Mr. Shang Zigang, bring two guys, we caught a fish, dealt with it on the spot, boiled a pot of fish soup, and then had some ......" Sun Ce suddenly understood, pointed at Guo Jia and smiled: "Hehe, you don't come to this set, manly, big husband, talk counts." ”

Guo Jia had a bitter face, arched his hands and begged: "General, it's really gluttonous to drink without wine." You can't let me watch you drink. ”

"Don't worry, we don't drink either." Zhang Hong walked over from a distance, followed by two soldiers, carrying a wooden barrel. "We'll accompany you to drink soup, green plum soup, with sugar."
