Sun Ce didn't expect Zhang Liao to have such a high praise for him, his eyes showed surprise, and he hurriedly clenched his fists and said loudly: "Sun Ce is already weak, and he has achieved nothing, how dare he be a general." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

It is said that Sun Ce is a self-confident and even conceited person, and he is also quite famous in the county, but he is completely proud in front of Zhang Liao.

In terms of the force that he is most proud of, he teamed up with his father and several fierce generals and never fought Zhang Liao.

In terms of starting, Zhang Liao was from the same humble background as them, or even lower or worse.

In terms of status and achievements, Zhang Liao is now the general of the imperial court Zhengdong and the pastor of Qingzhou, with a high and powerful position, which is no worse than Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao and other officials who relied on their family backgrounds to start their families, not to mention that he has achieved nothing, even his father Sun Jian is beyond reach.

When Sun Ce was filial piety to his father, he often talked about the current figures with Zhou Yu, and when he mentioned Zhang Liao, Zhou Yu was also full of praise, although Zhang Liao's reputation in Kanto was not very good, but for these heroes with unique vision, they would naturally not be blinded by rumors.

Moreover, in the original battle of Luoyang, Zhang Liao's strong crushing had a great impact on Sun Ce, who was growing, so that Sun Ce has been paying attention to Zhang Liao's development since then, and while respecting Zhang Liao, he also took Zhang Liao as his goal of struggle and transcendence.

Zhang Liao's position in Sun Ce's heart is unique, the age difference between the two is six years, and they seem to be the same generation, but Sun Ce does not dare to treat him as a peer, Zhang Liao is the same existence as Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao, and is on the same level as his father Sun Jian, and he faintly respects him as a father and brother in his heart.

It was because Sun Ce heard that Zhang Liao went south to Xuzhou, and made a special trip to Guangling with Zhang Hong, the purpose was to see Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao naturally didn't know this, but Sun Ce took the initiative to visit him calmly after getting off the carriage at the city gate, and there was no surprise and avoidance of the encounter, so Zhang Liao faintly noticed something, so Zhang Liao was even more curious in his heart, what did Sun Ce come to him for?

He looked at Sun Ce's expression, and said with a smile: "Bo Fu is modest, this time Bo Fu is coming with Zhang Zigang, he must have his help, he must have analyzed the current situation for Bo Fu, and Bo Fu is now aiming at the land of Jiangdong Wuhui, right?" ”

Sun Ce's body was shocked, and he lost his voice: "How does the general know?" ”

Zhang Liao said with a smile: "Watching people, watching the time, watching the situation, that's all." ”

He had some emotion in his heart, this time he came to Guangling, he wanted to recruit Zhang Hong, but he didn't expect Sun Ce to take the first step, Sun Ce's methods are very clever, often go to the church to worship his mother, win over feelings, and entrust his family, such as Zhou Yu, such a righteous person, once he accepts the entrustment of his family, there will never be a repeat.

Sun Ce was even more respectful to Zhang Liao at this time, he was a straight man, and immediately collected the shock and horror in his heart, and said straight to the point: "Sun Ce came to meet the general this time to borrow troops. ”

Borrowed soldiers? Zhang Liao looked at Sun Ce, who looked solemn, and was stunned at first, and then smiled: "How does Bo Fu know that I am willing to borrow troops?" ”

Sun Ce's expression was calm and generous, and he hugged his fists and bowed: "The hero of the world, who is the general?" If the general retains the land of Hebei and the state, he will be an ally, and the general will be respected, and if the general retains the land of the Central Plains, he will be a minister to the north, and if he violates this oath, heaven and man will be punished!"

What a Sun Ce! What a Jiangdong little overlord! Zhang Liao's eyes showed a look of approval, and he really dared to think, dare to say and dare to do!

He immediately helped Sun Ce up, and his voice was calm: "This soldier can be borrowed." ”

"Thank you, General!"

Sun Ce was overjoyed, although he was full of expectations for borrowing troops on this trip, but he was also ready to go back with some words and even disappointment, after all, Zhang Liao is now in a high position, far from being comparable to him as a fledgling boy, but he didn't expect Zhang Liao to be so neat, which was really beyond his expectations.

In contrast, Yuan Shu refused to return his father's old department, and his temperament suddenly became narrow-minded, and the two of them had an immediate opinion.

Zhang Liao's promise to lend troops to Sun Ce was not impulsive, but the matter was completely feasible and more in line with his overall strategic layout.

First, Zhang Liao's current strategy is still in Guanliang and the Central Plains, and he may not have time to take care of the land of Jiangdong in the next ten years, so he needs a powerful ally, and Sun Ce is undoubtedly the most suitable, which can be described as a sleepy pillow.

Second, the two have similar backgrounds, and they have the same attitude and path in dealing with local powerful forces, and they will never compromise, and even Sun Ce is more radical, the local power of the family in the land of Wuhui is strong, and Zhang Liao will inevitably have many obstacles to enter Jiangdong in the future, and now it is best to have Sun Ce as a striker.

Third, he believed in Sun Ce, if he was replaced by other people such as Liu Bei, Cao Cao, and Sun Quan borrowed troops to swear, Zhang Liao would only think that they were farting, but when Sun Ce said this, Zhang Liao believed it, because Sun Ce was not exactly a politician, but almost a chivalrous man. Such a person will not break his promise unless he dies.

Therefore, Zhang Liao not only wants to lend troops to Sun Ce, but also makes every effort to save Sun Ce's life, for him, Sun Ce is in Jiangdong, a hundred times stronger than Sun Quan, Sun Ce can open the way for him, but Sun Quan will choose to compromise with the family.

As for getting rid of Sun Ce and Sun Quan, Zhang Liao didn't think about it at all, with his current status, he didn't have to think about getting rid of the enemy in advance, because he didn't need to, and at the same time, these means were already inferior to him, his current realm should be to take the world as a chess, and he would use all kinds of people to complete all kinds of things and achieve various strategic goals.

What's more, Zhang Liao now sees the situation in the world very clearly, the saying that the times create heroes is not wrong at all, in history, Sun Quan was able to gain a foothold in Jiangdong, although he had some power and ability, but the most important thing is that the Jiangdong family needs a representative of the regime, so that they can compete with the Central Plains and safeguard their interests, so Zhang Liao is to cut off a Sun 100,000, and these families will eventually support or support Sun million and Sun 10 million to come out, just like Yanzhou welcomed Cao Cao as Yanzhou pastor, and Jizhou welcomed Yuan Shao as Jizhou pastor.

Yuan Shao connected with the Jizhou family, so he temporarily developed and stabilized in Jizhou, and Cao Cao didn't understand this now, so he had to fall a bit. Zhang Liao was against this, so he wanted Sun Ce to be the vanguard.

After Sun Ce got up, he drank a glass of wine and said, "General, this time Sun Ce is here, and there is something to inform the general." ”

"Oh?" Zhang Liao said with a smile: "Bo Fu said, now you and I are one, and there is no need to worry about anything. ”

Sun Ce said in a deep voice: "When Ce left Shouchun this time, Yuan Shu once instructed that after Ce arrived in Danyang, he would arrest Tang Mao's family. ”

Zhang Liao's body was shocked, and his face turned cold: "Yuan Shu, this guy is still so despicable!" ”
