Sun Ce led the troops all the way to the west, and he knew that if Liu Bei arrived with the troops, he would definitely be waiting for him in Jiuyi Mountain.

However, on the way to their march, Tanma came back to report, "Report to the lord, I found a group of cavalry five miles ahead, about a thousand people, and they are rushing to this place, it seems that it should be Liu Beijun!" ”

When Sun Ce and everyone heard it, Liu Beijun? Cavalry of about a thousand people? Could it be that they have already arrived? Or is it ......

Anyway, no matter what it is, since they are here, they have to show something, in short, they must not have any malicious intentions, or do they still use blatant blatantness, just ambush it, and then ambush their own people, and then use it? Besides, your Tanma has seen people, and it is estimated that people have also seen you, so Tanma can still come back, and people have not pursued and made no moves, which shows that there is no malice.

"Okay, I already know!"

Tanma retreated, while Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu next to him, "Gong Jin, how is it?" ”

Zhou Yu smiled, "This should be Liu Xuande's men and horses, and these cavalry should be sent by him to meet us!" ”——

With Zhou Yu's ability, he naturally thought of a certain possibility at once, after all, it was the agreement between Liu Bei and Liu Xuande and his lord, he proposed it first, and he asked to meet in this Nine Doubts Mountain. Therefore, if he arrives and does not see his lord, then he must send someone to wait for him on the road that he must pass to enter the Nine Doubts Mountain. So isn't this just someone coming?

If that's really what happened, it's the same as Zhou Yu thought, that's what happened.

When Liu Bei led the people to the Nine Doubts Mountain. didn't see Sun Ce, so he asked people to bring troops to meet Sun Ce. Although he knew that Sun Ce had not yet arrived, he thought that he would come soon, after all, there was less than one day before the agreed date, so Sun Bofu would definitely not disobey the agreement.

Sun Ce heard it, "Yes, what Gong Jin said is good." I guess that's how it should be! ”

Then he shouted to the people, "Guys, let's wait here." See what Liu Xuande is going to do? ”

When they heard this, they all stopped. In fact, when Tanma came to Sun Ce before, they had already slowed down, and this time their lord said that he wanted to stay on the horse. And they all stopped—

It didn't take long. Everyone waited for the other party's men and horses, and it was indeed the person sent by Liu Bei.

The leader of the generals was not Wen Chou, but he saw that he came to Sun Ce and bowed his hand to Sun Ce, "General Zuo has hired Wen Zhongye under the account, and I have seen General Sun!" ”

Sun Ce nodded when he heard this, Wen Ping Wen Zhongye, I really heard of it. This person turned out to be from the Jingzhou army. turned out to take refuge in Liu Bei.

At this time, Wen Ping said again, "General Sun." At the behest of my lord, I came here to greet the general, and asked the general to come with me to see my lord! ”

"Okay, I'm tired, lead the way!"

"General Sun, please!"

"Please!" Sun Ce said to everyone, "Everyone, let's go!" ”

As he spoke, Wen Ping led the way in front, while Sun Ce and the others led the troops to follow behind, and the people and horses rushed to the location of Liu Bei in Jiuyi Mountain-

Liu Bei had already ordered the soldiers to be stationed, and at this time, he came to report to the horse, "Report to the lord, Sun Ce's Jiangdong army has come here, and the men and horses are about 3,000 light horsemen!" ”

When Liu Bei heard this, he smiled, "Zhilu said, you go down!" ”

"No!"

After the horse left, Liu Bei said to himself, "Three thousand light horses, but the number of people and horses I brought, but this is, coincidence?" ”

That's right, Liu Bei led the troops this time, and he also brought 3,000 light cavalry, the same as Sun Ce. But the difference is that Liu Bei's three thousand light horses are all his belongings. And Sun Ce is definitely not, after all, the background of the Jiangdong Army is comparable to Liu Bei?

But both of them brought 3,000 cavalry, and this is true-

Not long after, Sun Ce arrived with his own people, and Liu Bei personally went out to greet him. After all, Sun Ce can be said to have come as a guest, and people are more powerful than themselves, of course, these are not the most important, the most important thing is that Liu Bei is asking for people, so what he said is actually good, the so-called "courtesy to people, must have something to ask for".

Liu Bei and his subordinates all came out to greet Sun Ce, but Liu Bei didn't bring as many people as Sun Ce, so he brought Wen Chou and Wen Ping, these two surnamed Wen, and then a Xu Shu and a Liu Ba, and the last one was three thousand cavalry, and the others were gone.

After Liu Bei and Sun Ce met, Liu Bei was busy saying, "This is General Sun Ce and Sun Bofu, who is known as the 'Little Overlord', right?" ”

When Sun Ce heard this, he laughed, "Ha Haha!" Presumably, Your Excellency is the Emperor Uncle of the Han Dynasty, General Liu Bei, Liu Xuande, Duke Xuande, right? ”

After speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled, and everything was silent-

After laughing, Liu Bei hurriedly said, "General Sun, please enter the account!" ”

"Okay, Xuande Gong, please!"

"Please!"

Saying that, Liu Bei and the others invited Sun Ce and the others into his Chinese army tent. As for the 3,000 men and horses brought by Sun Ce, they naturally had a place to station, and at this time, the Jiangdong soldiers had already begun to camp on the spot.

After entering the big tent, everyone sat down as guests and hosts. After sitting down, Liu Biao began to introduce the four people on his side.

The first one, of course, he introduced Xu Shu. Then there was Liu Ba, and then Wen Chou Wenpin, Liu Bei didn't say much about the two people Sun Ce already knew.

And Sun Ce was the same, he introduced Zhou Yu and them to Liu Bei and a few others, and less than ten people on both sides greeted each other, and then this was the end-

After all the people saluted each other. Only then did Liu Bei continue to say to Sun Ce, "General Sun, what are you going to do when you invite the general here today." The generals already know that it is indeed a blessing to be able to form an alliance with your army, but in the future, it will be a place where General Sun will have to be troubled! ”

Sun Ce listened. The heart says. You Liu Bei Liu Xuande has been very enthusiastic about himself since the beginning, the so-called "nothing to do, either a traitor or a thief". Of course, you have to ask me, but I will not refuse to agree, after all, I also need to unite with you, but don't think that I will agree easily, I will never do so.

Sun Ce smiled at this time. "Well said, well said. But there are some words. Please also ask Xuande Gong to make it clear, after all, although you and I have formed an alliance, but there are some things, but it is better to put them on the surface, Xuande Gong thinks, isn't that so? ”

When Liu Bei heard this, he said, "Ah, yes, exactly, that's exactly how it should be!" General Sun's words are very true, some things should be said as early as possible, and it is better to say them early! ”

"Then, if Xuande Gong has something to say, please listen to it!"

Liu Bei said in his heart at this time, although your Sun Bofu is not as old as himself, he is not easy to follow. Maybe it's not good to describe you as cunning, but you're very cunning-

And Liu Bei didn't want to say it at this time, after all, everything was said here, he glanced at Xu Shu, Xu Shu secretly glanced at his lord, that means, the lord still said it, sooner or later.

However, Liu Bei was obviously not ready to say his original thoughts directly, so he asked Sun Ce directly according to what he thought of at the beginning: "General Sun, I don't know what the general thinks, now Jingzhou, you and me, compared to Cao Mengde's Yanzhou army, and Ma Mengqi's Liangzhou army?" ”

When Sun Ce heard this, he said in his heart, Didn't you ask knowingly, don't you Liu Xuande know this?

Although Sun Ce really didn't want to admit it, and he didn't want to tell the truth to Liu Bei, but in his heart, he did know that if he wanted to say that his Jiangdong Army was actually a little stronger than Liu Bei, but if he was compared with Cao Mengde's Yanzhou Army and Ma Mengqi's Liangzhou Army, his own side was indeed inferior to others.

Yes, if you look at the war in Jiangxia now, don't you all know the Dao?

Seeing that Sun Ce was speechless and remained silent, Liu Bei asked again, "What does General Sun think, what?" ”

Sun Ce smiled, to be honest, he really didn't want to answer the question asked by Liu Bei, so he said: "Dare to ask Xuande Gong, but why does Gong want to know this?" ”

Liu Bei said in his heart when he heard this, he was asking you Sun Bofu, but I didn't expect you to ask me.

However, Liu Bei knew better in his heart that Sun Ce was reluctant to answer his question. Of course, he is not incomprehensible, after all, basically no one wants to admit that his soldiers are inferior to others. In fact, even he is like this, so let alone Sun Ce and Sun Bofu.

So Liu Bei said at this time, "I know what General Lu Dao means, but Bei understands it, but in fact, Bei doesn't necessarily have to know what General Lu Dao thinks." There are some things, in fact, everyone can see them, what does the general think? ”

This time, Sun Ce was not silent, but said directly, "Yes, what Xuande Gong said is right!" ”——

Liu Bei nodded when he heard this, "Actually, whether General Sun admits it or not, that is, whether it is Cao Mengde's Yanzhou Army or Ma Mengqi's Liangzhou Army, it is not you and me, which side will definitely be able to compete!" ”

Regarding Liu Bei's words, Sun Ce was still silent, he neither admitted nor objected. Of course, he still agrees in his heart, after all, the facts are there, what else can you do.

Seeing that Sun Ce didn't react, Liu Bei thought that Sun Ce was actually acquiescing, or if he objected in his heart, he would definitely say it, but where did he get the confidence, he dared to say that he would definitely be able to defeat Cao Mengde's Yanzhou army, as well as Ma Mengqi's Liangzhou army, this is his Sun Bofu, but now he still can't say it.

In Liu Bei's opinion, he must now step by step, let Sun Ce fall into the pit he dug well, as long as Sun Ce goes in, then what will happen to him after the most trouble, it is not up to him to say. (To be continued......)
