Chapter 340: Caosun Alliance
When Sun Ce heard this, he saw that Cao Ren had the style of a general, and he didn't care about hurting Cao Zhen at all, so his face couldn't help but be solemn, and he arched his hand and said: "Xiao'er lost his words, and I hope that General Cao is not strange." Then I'll step down. ”
Cao Ren nodded slightly, then waved his hand, stood left and right, and sent Sun Ce and his people out.
After Sun Ce left, Cao Ren's eyes narrowed suddenly, and he secretly slandered in his heart: "This child of the Sun family has extraordinary strength, and I am afraid that he will be a little more powerful than that tiger father in the future." Looking at his aptitude and appearance, he is neither humble nor arrogant, in addition to being a little arrogant, he is already quite heroic at a young age. Should I remind Ah Pu that this child is powerful, I'm afraid that even if I want to disrupt the plan, I will kill this Sun family's child! ”
Thinking of this, Cao Ren's heart tightened, so he stood up, and after hesitating for a while, he thought that Sun Ce was only sixteen or seventeen, such an outstanding young man, if he was killed like this, wouldn't it be embarrassing?
Cao Ren was moved by his forbearance for a while, shook his head and sighed: "That's it." As Ah Pu said, that Sun Wentai is just a foolish and loyal horseman, this kind of person is best used, and he can also be used as a pawn against Yuan Shu in the future, but there is no need to rush to turn against their Sun family. ”
When night falls, I see Chen Liucheng, people come and go, the street is very lively, you can see vendors setting up stalls everywhere, all kinds of shops are dazzling, restaurants are full of people, a lively and peaceful atmosphere, where is the city at the beginning of the war. Sun Ce walked all the way, secretly amazed, and then thought about seeing Cao Jun's grandeur in the East Camp today, and even sighed at Cao Cao's extraordinary.
When they were young, Sun Ce and Huang Gai came to the county palace, and they saw that the whole hall was full of civil and military people waiting, and the first seat was a short and dark, seemingly ordinary, but there was an indescribable majesty and charm all over the body.
"Hahaha, you're here, nephew! Cao has been waiting for a long time, sit down, sit down! "This seemingly ordinary but extraordinary man is Cao Cao. I saw Cao Cao warmly welcomed, proud as Sun Ce, but he didn't dare to be presumptuous, after all, Cao Cao's various heroic deeds have long been famous all over the world, whether it is the assassination of Dong Zhuo or the single-handedly promoted the North-South coalition army or the lone army to go deep and chase the Xiliang army, it is all heartfelt and convincing.
"Little son Sun Ce, meet Uncle Cao! Uncle Cao's hero is a hero, and he has been admired for a long time, and he is fortunate to be able to admire his dignity today, which is really terrifying. Sun Ce bowed his hand and bowed respectfully. Huang Gai also bowed.
However, Sun Ce's calm, polite and modest posture made some people feel a little jealous. Among them, Xi Zhicai and Xun You both changed color slightly, and their eyes were dark. Cao Cao's smile suddenly appeared a little weird, and he soon said with great joy: "Hahahaha, the virtuous nephew Yu Yingchuan battled, and the invincible Lu Bu in the world, and successfully rescued Wentai, at such a young age, it is so extraordinary, this future Sun family has you in charge, it can be said that it is as stable as a rock, you can rest assured, the people here today are my confidants and cronies, you can speak freely." ”
When Sun Ce heard this, he also laughed, and thanked him, but he slandered in his heart: "Cao Mengde is not an ordinary person, it seems that he already knows the purpose of my coming here." ”
In Sun Ce's blink of mind, Cao Cao greeted Huang Gai, who had met again. Huang Gai didn't expect Cao Cao to have such a good memory, and he was a little flattered.
Suddenly, Sun and Huang entered the table. Cao Cao ordered the banquet to begin, and as the music sounded, all the charming and glamorous, dressed up dancers, fluttered in, and then saw that their clothes were light, their skin was fair, and their faces were brilliant, and they were all carefully selected.
Sun Ce is in the prime of his youth, during this period, he is the most curious about women, and Sun Jian and his mother's family education is very strict, and he rarely has the opportunity to contact women. At this time, I didn't eat much food, but I had already drunk two bottles of wine. When Huang Gai saw it, he glared repeatedly, but he knew that Sun Ce was addicted, and later he had to pull Sun Ce, and Sun Ce was slightly restrained.
Cao Cao saw this qiē in his eyes, smiled secretly, and slandered in his heart: "The ancient saying is honest and does not deceive me, the so-called color eater is also sexual." This is human nature, not to mention that the children of the Sun family are still young, and it is normal for their concentration to be a little worse. ”
Happy times always pass like a white horse, passing in a blink of an eye. After everyone was full, Cao Cao took the lead again, drank three rounds, and then ordered the dancer to retreat. Sun Ce still seemed a little reluctant, and when he saw a few dancing girls, he even had some impulses to take people away directly when he vaguely cast a pitiful gaze.
"Stinky boy, don't fall for Cao Cao's beauty scheme, otherwise once this matter comes out, the lord will definitely break your legs!!" Huang Gai whispered in Sun Ce's ear.
When Sun Ce heard this, he couldn't help but feel excited, and a few drops of cold sweat flowed on his face, secretly scolding himself for being too lax, almost hitting the plan, and hurriedly woke up his spirits.
"Haha, the so-called nothing to go to the Three Treasures Palace, the nephew must have something important to come in person this time, I might as well negotiate the business first, and then it's not too late to drink and enjoy the dance." I saw Cao Cao's face full of smiles, but now Sun Ce's eyes were full of a sense of crisis, but when he thought of the glamorous dancers just now, he couldn't help but look forward to it, and this time, he seemed a little distracted.
"Cao Gong laughed, the young master of my family is still young, and he is still ignorant of women, and he is rude, and I hope that Cao Gong and all the adults are not strange. Moreover, my lord is very strict with the young master, and he does not allow the young master to be the slightest presumptuous on weekdays, so I brought him here, and my lord specially instructed me to take good care of him. I don't think this drinking and dancing thing is still not suitable for him.
Oh, you see that I am a rough person, but I forgot about the business when I said it, this is a secret letter from the general, and I also asked Cao Gong to take a look. ”
Huang Gai said that, and took out the secret letter in his arms, and at this time almost everyone turned their eyes to the secret letter. However, Cao Cao seemed to have expected it, and he secretly looked at Xi Zhicai and smiled secretly.
When he was young, Cao Cao opened the letter and said with a smile: "General Hou did not hesitate to turn his face with his brother and ally with me, and he really taught me to move." ”
Cao Cao had something to say, and as soon as these words came out, Huang Gai's face changed slightly, and he was about to answer. At this time, Sun Ce scrambled to say: "It seems that Cao Gong has felt that there is a clue in it, and that little boy doesn't have to play tricks, so as not to offend, let's get straight to the point." ”
"Cao likes the refreshing person the most, and his nephew is very much in my heart!" Cao Cao nodded with a smile and said.
"Can Gong Cao be interested in forming an alliance with Yuan Highway?"
"The two armies are allies, and you are sincere, this is not sincere, Cao is unwilling."
"That's good, I don't know Gong Cao, but I am willing to ally with the Sun family?" Sun Ce said this suddenly, and Huang Gai was so frightened that he bounced up, as if he didn't expect Sun Ce to be so direct.
Cao Cao's eyes also widened slightly, a little unexpectedly, and then he smiled happily: "Hahahaha, the nephew is really fast-talking." Wentai is a loyal martyr of the country, this time in order to seek an alliance, he did not hesitate to let his tiger go in person, sincerely, how can Cao refuse!? ”
"Cao Gong is refreshing, then I hope that in the future, the Cao and Sun families can support each other and create a great cause together, and in the future, they will support the Han family, welcome back the Son of Heaven, sweep away the troubles, and let the world return to the trajectory!" Sun Ce got up suddenly, his voice was powerful, and he raised his glass and drank it all.
"Well said, the Sun family is worthy of being a loyal martyr, and Cao also toasts you!!" Cao Cao seemed to be very excited, and he stood up, and the civil and military officers of each table also hurriedly stood up and raised their glasses in praise. After that, everyone drank together, and there was a chorus of joy, as if they were in harmony.
"As Zhicai expected, I really admire it to the extreme, and I admire it to the extreme." On the other side, Xun You secretly said in Xi Zhicai's ear.
"Gongda praised." Xi Zhicai listened, smiled uninhibitedly, and said lightly.
It turned out that the drama Zhicai offered a plan that day, to ensure the stability of Chen Liu, and to be able to expand his power rapidly in the future, when he formed an alliance with the Sun family. At that time, as soon as this statement came out, the audience was shocked. Many people thought that Sun Jian had always been loyal and would not betray Yuan Shu. Xi Zhicai is confident, saying that Yuan Shu has no intention of saving the country, which is contrary to Sun Jian, who is known as the heart of the Han family, so the two are bound to turn their faces one day, so Sun Jian has to make plans early. As long as Sun Jian's envoy comes, he will see that Chen Liu is stable and prosperous, and that the army is strong, he will definitely take the initiative to propose an alliance. At that time, Cao and Sun secretly formed an alliance, but sent someone to release the news, Yuan Shu learned, must be heartbroken, urgently recall Sun Jian from the front line, so that the danger of Chen can be solved, at the same time, Sun Jian has to rely on Yuan Shu to supply, once Yuan Shu cut off its food, the two are bound to turn their faces, and when the two of them fight Yuzhou, their army will just take the opportunity to seize Yuzhou as the foundation of the grand cause established in the future!
As soon as Xi Zhicai came out with this plan, everyone was shocked, and Cao Cao was even more overjoyed, and regarded it as his Zhang Zifang.
However, he said that just when Cao Cao intended to expand his power, ally with Sun Jian, and plot against Yuzhou.
On the other side, in the territory of Yanzhou. However, it is said that Ma Zongheng defeated Liu Bei, chased and killed all the way, won many victories, and entered the hinterland of Yanzhou. Liu Bei was unable to stop the horses, and the soldiers and horses under his command were almost annihilated, but Liu Dai's reinforcements were delayed. And not long after, under the spread of Ma Zongheng's intentions, Liu Dai heard the news of his alliance with Yuan Shao, and was shocked, and saw that Yuan Shao had been standing still in Jizhou, and repeatedly sent envoys to urge, but it was useless, and he was so frightened that the six gods had no master, and he was restless for several days. Later, Liu Bei persuaded him to make a temporary truce with Ma Zongheng, and preferred to go as a lobbyist. Liu Dai was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly agreed, and taught people to hurry to report in the starry night that night.
However, he said that at that time, the morale of Ma Zongheng's subordinates was like a rainbow, Liu Bei's army was demoralized, and he was surrounded, so he could only defend the city, but if Ma Zongheng decided to attack hard, there was a chance to annihilate Liu Bei.
However, Ma Zongheng himself didn't think like this, he knew that Guan and Zhang were powerful, even if he attacked and grabbed it hard, at the expense of casualties, Liu Bei was under the cover of Guan and Zhang, and it was very likely that he would successfully escape, after all, Ma Zongheng's troops were only a few thousand at that time, and he had to divide his troops and surround him, if he wanted to put Liu Bei to death, at least tens of thousands of troops would be needed, or it would be possible.
To be honest, Ma Zongheng, who knows Liu Bei's potential, is probably the person in the world who is most eager to eradicate him as soon as possible.
But before the time came, Ma Zongheng and Cheng Yu discussed, so they also sold Liu Bei a face, intending to show goodwill. At that time, Liu Bei also understood that Ma Zongheng had the upper hand, and he was the first to lead the troops, and thought that Ma Zongheng was resentful, so most of them refused to agree, but they just gave it a try, hoping to persuade with righteousness.
But what he never expected was that he succeeded in this. Ma Zongheng first showed him his loyalty to the country, and explained that it was Liu Dai who was unkind that day, not only killed Dongjun Taishou Qiaomao, but also wanted to capture his family members as hostages.
