Chapter 78: Alliances and Tribes

The combination of Zhao Yun and Hu Luguang received unexpected results. They broke out of the encirclement smoothly, and came to Suning in a blink of an eye.

The remnants of Dian Wei and Zhang Niujiao also approached this side with difficulty. However, because of their distance, they were intercepted many times during this period.

Fortunately, Suning made a quick decision, and kept hitting the neck facing upwards with the tip of the gun, indicating that he could take his life at any time.

The trick quickly worked. The Hu cavalry stopped their pursuit. From an outsider's point of view, their loyalty to Zhang Rang is even higher than that of his own subordinates.

Suning kept sneering in his heart, these people's rewards were still tied to Zhang Rang, so they didn't dare to act rashly.

But then again, the situation has come to this point, will they still have a reward?

Perhaps they should have expected Zhang to give up, so that no one would sanction their negligence. However, their leader didn't seem to realize this, and his head was obviously turning a lot slower.

Sometimes thinking and opportunities are just a matter of a moment, and once you make a mistake between the lightning and flint, it often means a lifetime of irreparable regret.

The life of the captain of Changshui on the other side may be described in similar words. He just stood there, watching Dian Wei and Suning meet, and then walked away from them step by step.

They eventually took refuge in the Peach Grove, where the topography created a natural wall, although there was no solid wall to cover it.

In the face of such a dangerous pass that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, the Hu cavalry became more and more afraid to make mistakes. This gave Suning and others enough conditions to start a meeting with Zhang Rang, the big man.

Speaking of which, there had already been a meeting between Suning and the eunuch group to test each other's hole cards earlier. Both of them achieved relatively satisfactory results, and formed a common alliance against the great clans.

However, Cao Cao's assassination of Zhang Rang this time obviously has an obvious implication of pitting teammates. Suning sometimes really wanted to ignore this bastard, but he got Liu Hong, a good old man, into it. This made Suning have to help, and there was the fierce battle just now.

Now that the battle is over, it's time to sit down and explain each other's positions.

Hu Luguang slammed Zhang Ran to the ground, Suning turned over and dismounted and squatted beside him, with this condescending momentum, he quickly grasped the initiative of this dialogue.

"To be fair, I don't want to fight you. If you want Cao Cao's life, I can give you his phone right now. However, Liu Hong, the sage of calculation, is the top talent of my Han dynasty, and he is also the one I must bring back to Liangzhou and stuff into Hanyang University. I will never give you his life. ”

This is Suning's bottom line, and it is also the biggest loss he can accept. Cao Cao, a guy who did his own thing, didn't take the common interests of their group of people into account at all, although they didn't set up any binding organizations, but since they went to Liangzhou together and participated in the rescue of the Zhuge family, they could at least be regarded as friends in distress.

Since there is friendship, he shouldn't do anything to drag down his friends, not to mention, his original intention was still out of luck, thinking that after the death of Dachangqiu Cao Jie, as long as he got rid of his successor, he could completely eliminate the eunuch forces.

For Suning, this is obviously a naïve idea, not to mention that his operability at the technical level is almost zero - Cao Cao's assassin skills are only at the amateur level, and Cao Jie has far more successors than Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong. In the later period, they even formed a group of eunuchs called the Ten Permanent Servants, and it was impossible to eliminate them in one fell swoop—even if he didn't understand why the eunuchs were so powerful in terms of strategy.

As long as His Majesty still needs to fight against the big clans, there will always be people in the eunuch forces who will stand up and become his minions, killing one Zhang Rang and one Zhao Zhong will not stop His Majesty's strategic policy at all. As the emperor who sits on the world, he can completely support a small yellow gate into a new Zhang Rang Zhao Zhong, so that there is an endless stream of successions, let me ask you Cao Ah to kill it?

For such a childish and frivolous person, it's good to get out of this small group.

If he can use his head to ease the relationship with Zhang Rang, it would be a good choice.

However, Cao Cao himself obviously didn't think so. After hearing Suning's words, he even rushed ahead of Zhang Rang and ran to Suning to cry: "Why did Youpeng betray me? ”

"Why?" Suning smiled coldly, he didn't say his analysis, but just asked, "Just because you dragged everyone down!" ”

When Liu Hong heard this, his face darkened. He was so hasty to follow Cao Cao to escape for his life that most of his family members were still in Luoyang City, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead at the moment. To say that Cao Cao broke away from them, he was deeply touched by this sentence.

Cao Cao was also speechless when he heard Suning's words, if he only relied on his own ability, I am afraid that he would have died in the hands of Zhang Rang. First, Suning's subordinate Zhao Yun came to the rescue, and then Suning personally went to the fight, which saved his life.

But after his life was saved, he was even more reluctant to die. So even if he knows that he is in the wrong, he wants to express his opinion.

Then Suning directly ignored him, and he turned to Zhang Rang and said: "If you want to achieve great things, you must look at the problem from a higher perspective." If you kill one Cao Cao today, there will be more Cao Cao to assassinate you tomorrow, so can you finish killing you? ”

Zhang Rang hadn't said a word before, and he knew that Suning was still his ally. Speaking of which, he shouldn't have attacked Suning, but this person insisted on protecting Cao Cao, and he himself thought that his military ability was superior, so he rashly launched an attack. At that time, he obviously did not expect that he would be captured, but now that the matter had passed, he had no choice but to keep silent. In his heart, he just hopes that Suning can see it for the sake of his allies and not kill himself.

It wasn't until Suning said these words that his expression relaxed.

Suning observed this change in him, so he struck while the iron was hot and said: "The big clans of the family are scattered all over the Han Dynasty, counting their tribes, just like the tribes on the grassland. They can only elect a few co-leaders, and it is still easy to divide and win over. However, the alliance between us is much less disadvantageous in this regard, after all, we only have two groups of people. Of course, unless someone deliberately undermines our unity, the other side will certainly not get the opportunity to divide and win over. ”

Zhang Rang understood what he said. Suning obviously didn't want today's incident to affect the alliance between them. As long as he has similar thoughts, then his little life can be saved.

After all, killing him here will only undermine the unity of the two sides to a greater extent.

Thinking about it like this, his expression inevitably relaxed. Such an obvious change can be observed even by Cao Cao, who is standing in the distance, not to mention Suning who is close in front of him.

"Speaking of which, Cao Cao is actually still useful to us." Suning knew that the two sides had basically reached an agreement, and now he was ready to work hard to see if he could save Cao Cao's life, although this guy was too narcissistic, but if he rescued it, maybe it could still come in handy.

With this in mind, Suning began to explain the truth to Zhang Rang: "In fact, he Cao Cao also has a lot of dissatisfaction with the family. ”

As soon as he said this, he saw Zhang Rang slowly surrender his hand: "Since Brother Su Xian has said this, then the old man will sell you face, and this matter will be stopped today." In the future, it will definitely not be pursued. ”

What Suning wants is what he said. After getting what he wanted, he ordered Zhang Rang to be released.

The old Zhang Rang slowly got up and said to Suning again: "After the old man goes back, he will definitely convey what Brother Su said today to his colleagues." I hope you and I can share your Majesty's worries as soon as possible. ”

The implication of his words was that he hoped that the alliance between the eunuch group and the children of the Han family would help the emperor deal with the threat of the family as soon as possible.

In contrast, Suning is naturally happy to see it. He wished that the world would be in chaos sooner rather than later, so that he could establish order on the ruins.
