Chapter 106: Alliance (II)
Lu Bu moved his finger and said while calculating: "When you attacked me, I had an army of 10,000, and you claimed to be an army of 70,000, and there were two generals and 30,000 soldiers in the big and small battle formations. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ info And now, our army is nearly 20,000 tigers and wolves, and your army is less than 40,000 weak chickens. I don't know if Bo Fu dares to make a desperate bet and fight to the death with your 40,000 army and my 20,000 army? β
Sun Ce sneered: "Did you just call me here to show your superiority?" Our army is backed by Jiangdong, there are countless grains and grass, and your army has fought many battles, I am afraid that there are no particles in the army, I don't have to fight with you in formation, and I will slowly consume you to death! β
"It's a lose-lose situation. Although our army has few people, it dares to sacrifice its life to strike, do you dare to do it in Jiangdong? Do the families behind you dare? As long as our army fights against the water, it may not be able to defeat your Jiangdong army and take the opportunity to go south to Jiangdong, won't there be food and grass? Lu Bu said shamelessly, with a covetous expression of Jiangdong's richness. His voice turned sad: "I think you Sun Ce is unwilling to fight with me." At least you have the capital to dominate the world, but I have no place to stand. β
"Then what did Feng Xiangong call me to discuss?"
"What you just said woke me up. If I continue to stalemate with you in Guangling, it will be harmful to me, and our army is short of food and grass, so. Lu Bu paused, and after arousing Sun Ce's curiosity, he said, "I am willing to give you the entire county of Guangling." β
"Is that true?" Sun Ce said in a speech.
"Of course, but our army has little food and grass, and the general has to show me a clear way."
"Shouchun Yuan Shu is raising troops, and Feng Xiangong can take it as his own."
"Yuan Shu defeated Shouchun to a pulp, what good is it to keep it for himself?" Lu Bu shook his head in denial.
"How about I want to form an offensive and defensive alliance with Feng Xiangong and share Jingzhou?" Sun Ce thought about it, since Shouchun was ruined, he would use Jingzhou to tempt.
"Liu Biao is only a lot more than you Jiangdong, and the martial arts are prosperous, if you are worried that you Jiangdong will be difficult to do alone, just say it, don't even think about me being a thug for you, and besides, I am a great Han Zhongliang, Liu Biao is the uncle of the emperor of heaven, and the great relatives of the country, how can I kill him for no reason."
"Feng Xiangong has no official position, how can he be worldly?"
"I emphasized to you that we are talking about business now, please call it an official. After you are loyal and good, it is worth seeing. Lu Bu said as he took out a brocade cloth bag from his backpack and handed it to Sun Ce. Now that the time is almost ripe, in order to prevent Sun Ce from discovering that he intends to Guanzhong and Xiliang, Lu Bu must appear to be a loyal minister at this time. If Sun Ce knew his true intentions, I don't know if Sun Ce would get in the way, and Lu Bu wouldn't let him guess.
Sun Ce took the brocade cloth bag handed by Lu Bu, opened it and saw that it contained a large seal, Sun Ce looked at it carefully for a moment, looking very surprised, and then put the big seal on the stone table, took out a thing from the bag that was repeatedly wrapped in fine silk, and opened it layer by layer. Sun Ce untied the silk and looked at Lu Bu in surprise, what is worthy of Lu Bu's such solemn treatment?
Lu Bu stared at Sun Ce's actions, it would be bad if this guy destroyed the edict. Sun Ce's expression became more and more solemn, and after reading it, he wrapped the secret edict in the original way of wrapping, and returned his hands to Lu Bu: "What does the auxiliary general think?" β
"You don't doubt the truth?" Lu Bu asked rhetorically.
"I have in my hand the edict of the Son of Heaven when he rewarded the general, and I have carefully identified the great seal and handwriting of the Son of Heaven on it, and it is from the hand of the Son of Heaven. It's just hard to believe that why does the Son of Heaven think that you, Lu Bu, are loyal ministers? Sun Ce's face was very ugly, Lu Bu had this edict in his hand, he had lost his righteousness if he attacked Lu Bu again, once Lu Bu announced this secret edict to the world, he Sun Ce was afraid that he would be attacked by a group. With Lu Bu's reputation, it is difficult for anyone to accept that he is a loyal minister.
"I hope that no third person will know about this secret edict, Your Majesty's current situation is worrying, once Cao Thief knows that I have a secret edict in my hand, he will definitely blame the Son of Heaven, do you understand?"
Sun Ce nodded, thinking that his army was pressing, Lu Bu did not show this secret edict and ordered him to withdraw his troops, and now that Lu Bu has the upper hand, he took out the edict, he must have hoped to unite himself and save the Son of Heaven. said ashamedly: "No wonder the Son of Heaven understands that the Duke is a loyal minister, and the Duke is not worried about his own safety, but thinks about the Son of Heaven." Ce admired. β
After Sun Ce finished speaking, he bowed down despite his armor.
Well? Lu Bu was stunned, looked at Sun Ce who bowed down, and thought in his heart: Could it be that Sun Ce is really loyal to the Han family?
After Sun Ce got up, he asked, "How does the auxiliary general want to serve the king?" β
"Cao Cao controls the court, for the comfort of His Majesty, this secret edict in my hand is not a last resort, and it cannot be regarded as a last resort. Now the plan, I take Shouchun and Runan, you take Xuzhou, and attack Xuchang on both sides, or you can take it by surprise and rescue the Son of Heaven. β
"Just according to the words of the auxiliary general." Sun Ce heard what Lu Bu meant, and he would really give up Guangling County to him, and he was secretly happy in his heart. He knew that his intentions had already been guessed by Lu Bu. LΓΌ Bu took the opportunity to cede Guangling County to Sun Ce, that is, he and Chen Deng fought each other in Guangling, and LΓΌ Bu had his hands free to clean up Yuan Shu.
"But I don't have food. I will give Jiang Qin to you for free, and I will be benevolent to you Jiangdong. Now is the time to repay me, right? I can't give you Guangling City for nothing. And Huang Gai's body is still in my hands, he is an old minister in Jiangdong, and his reputation is all over the world, you can't let my soldiers cook it and eat it as pork, right? It doesn't matter, you are rich in Jiangdong, there is a lot of grain and grass, everything is easy to discuss. β
"Didn't you say that the two armies were forcing Xuchang?" Sun Ce glared at Lu Bu angrily, is this really a loyal minister who thinks about the Son of Heaven?
"You can't let our army go hungry and fight Cao Cao, can you?" Lu Bu opened his mouth and closed his mouth for the sake of the Son of Heaven, leaving Sun Ce speechless, he really found it hard to believe that Lu Bu would desperately rescue the Son of Heaven, but he had to believe the facts in front of him.
"I don't count the grain and grass as I said." Sun Ce spread his hands.
"It's okay, you tell me about the grain land, and you can pretend to be robbed by me." Lu Bu said with a thoughtful expression for Sun Ce.
"The grain and grass are in the hands of the Jiangdong family!" Sun Ce is not stupid, in case Lu Bu gets grain and grass and turns his face and doesn't recognize people, isn't that an enemy?
Lu Bu said indifferently: "Forget it, I'll give Guangling to Chen Deng, let the two of you pinch each other in Guangling, and I'll go across Jiangdong to help you clean up the family, how about it?" Interesting enough, right? β
Lu Bu didn't care about Sun Ce's ugly face, he couldn't beat him anyway, and said fearlessly. The grain and grass in Lu Bu's hands are actually not as scarce as they seem, but a lot of them are used to relieve the people, and there are more people who need relief, so Lu Bu has to think about it in advance.
"After you sold Guangling to me, you have grain and grass, but you want to defeat Yuan Shu Shouchun first, and then sit back and wait for our army and Chen Deng to consume each other, and take the opportunity to annihilate them in one fell swoop, right?"
"Do you think I have so much money and food to attack more than a dozen large and small cities in Guangling with Jiangdong as the backup? Can I rescue the prince by my own strength? β
