Xi Zhicai spoke like a cannon, and Sun Ce couldn't stop him if he wanted to.

He said to Sun Ce: "You have been dead for a hundred years, but have you thought about what happened after death?" In the not-too-distant future, Koto will be shrouded in the dark clouds of war. With the military strength of our Holy Sect, it is easy to defeat Jiangdong, but for the people of Jiangdong, it is tantamount to a great disaster. How many castles will be destroyed in the war? How many people have been separated and displaced? There are also those civil and military generals who are loyal to you, out of loyalty to you, they will definitely resist desperately. But what is the end of the rebellion? Only one, the body? Fail? Name? Crack! And your family members, who will be accused of being traitors for your reputation-seeking actions, and will eventually be guillotined. Of course, there is also your wife, Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao, Zirong's words have not been passed on for a day or two. There are many people in Jiangbei who are eager to see the two beautiful faces! When they are captured, I can't guarantee that the Sect Master will not reward them to meritorious soldiers. ”

"You...... Vile! Shameless! Xu Sheng, who was sitting on the sidelines and listening, gritted his teeth angrily when he heard this.

"Despicable?" Xi Zhicai snorted coldly, "Presumably this is General Xu Wenxiang!" I've heard that Shi Xie's beloved wife is in your house right now! Since General Sun Bofu has rewarded you with his beloved wife, why can't my family leader reward Da Qiao to others? ”

"Enough!" Sun Ce frowned coldly, if it weren't for the rule of "the two countries are at war and don't come to war", he couldn't wait to play Zhicai with a thousand knives. "What a genius to savior."

"Thank you, General Sun, for your compliment." Xi Zhicai directly ignored Sun Ce's sarcastic words, stood up from his seat, patted the floating soil on his shirt and said, "That's all I have to say." Whether it is self-defeating or subservient to General Sun to measure it himself. After speaking, Xi Zhicai stretched out three fingers, "Three days!" The sect leader gave General Sun three days to think about it, and if General Sun didn't give an answer after three days, don't blame my sect leader for being polite. Leave! ”

After saying that, he walked out of the door with a cane and big sleeves.

Seeing the back of Xi Zhicai's departure, Huang Gai was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, walked to Sun Ce's side and asked in a whisper: "Lord, this guy is arrogant, do you want to stop him?" Then he struck a posture of wiping his neck.

"No!" Sun Ce's right index finger rubbed the aching head vigorously, "Luan Ziqi looks gentle and elegant, but he is a person who must repay flaws. Xi Zhicai has known him since he was a child, and he has a very close relationship with each other. If he is killed, not to mention that everyone in Hanjin City will have to be buried with him. The key is also the family of Moling. When Luan Ziqi breaks through Moling, it will be the moment when we are all killed. ”

"Hiss......" Huang Gai gasped.

And beside Huang Gai, Lu Su, who listened to Sun Ce's response, was thoughtful. Obviously, Sun Ce still cares about the comfort of his family. It can be seen that the balance in Sun Ce's heart has begun to tilt towards the side that asks for surrender, and the rest is just to take some time for him to accept the reality.

Just as Lu Su thought, after two days and two nights of sleepless consideration, when the morning sun on the third day broke through the fog and appeared in the blue sky in the east, Sun Ce decided to bow down to Luan Yi.

The city gate of Hanjin, which had been sealed for many days, opened, and Sun Ce led his general subordinates to appear in the gate of the city gate in a dejected manner, and walked slowly towards Luan Yi.

Luan Yi threw the lotus sledgehammer on the ground, took off the girdle full of discus, turned over and dismounted, and rushed forward to greet him.

At the moment of meeting with Sun Ce, he held Sun Ce's hand tightly and said cordially: "Twenty-three years. I didn't expect that twenty-three years later, you and my brother would see each other again, and it would be such a scene. ”

Sun Ce couldn't help but think of the encounter Luan Yi said twenty-three years ago. At that time, Luan Yi was already famous in the world, he and Zhang Fei and Guan Yu went south to Changsha, and on the way they met himself and Zhou Yu who were swimming on the river by boat in Xiaoyaojin, and of course Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao, as well as his father, Uncle Zhou and father-in-law......

In my memory, I was still young at that time, and I always chattered and begged Luan Yi to tell stories. In this regard, Luan Yi never showed even a trace of impatience, in order to tell himself a story, he endured the strong discomfort caused by seasickness, racking his brains to think of a philosophical plot.

In this way, the boring boat trip for children becomes lively and lively.

Thinking of this, Sun Ce couldn't help but have red circles in his eyes, and Luan Yi in his sight became blurred. Let Luan Yi lead him back to the tent of the Chinese army of the Notre Dame Sect.

After the church civil and military and Jiangdong civil and military were seated left and right, Luan Yi and Sun Ce stood facing each other, and bowed respectfully, "Bo Fu, thank you for your deep understanding of righteousness." ”

Where did Sun Ce think that Luan Yi would salute him, he was startled, and hurriedly helped, "Ziqi...... Belch...... His Royal Highness the King of Qi shamed me, and the general of the defeated army, He Gan, received such a great gift from the King of Qi. ”

"You deserve it." Luan Yiyan said sincerely: "It was your wise decision that saved the Han from a great war that affected millions of people. For this, I would like to thank you on behalf of the diocese and the people of Jiangdong. ”

As soon as these words came out, the church's civil and military officials shook their heads one after another. In the Jiangdong Army, Lu Meng's eyes lit up, and Lu Su stroked his beard and nodded.

"Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, we have fought so much with our own families that it's time to stop and rest. Isn't it? Luan Yi said again.

To be honest, Sun Ce is also tired. For more than a decade, the endless campaign was still secondary. The key is to be on guard all the time, afraid that Luan Yi will one day kill Jiangdong and wipe out the Sun family in this world.

Now, the dust has settled, and as he chooses to surrender, all his worries are gone, and his hanging heart can be put down. This made him feel more relaxed than ever, as if he had lifted the burden of carrying it day and night on his shoulders.

It is true that defeat discouraged him, and surrender discouraged him, but the feeling of joy and relaxation was stronger than that of discouragement.

He let out a turbid breath and said to Luan Yi with a half-fake smile: "It's time to rest." ”

"Come, let's make a toast to peace." Luan Yi raised his glass and saluted.

"For peace."

The atmosphere of the banquet was generally good. It's just that at the beginning, Huang Gai, Xu Sheng and other Jiangdong generals were in a bad mood.

As for the reason...... First of all, the outcome of the defeat made them feel ashamed and faceless. Psychologically, they feel inferior to the middle of the church, and out of jealousy, they build a protective wall in their hearts and reject the church. Secondly, as the pioneers of the Jiangdong forces, they have made outstanding achievements and enjoy ample benefits in Jiangdong. But now, Sun Ce has surrendered, Jiangdong has changed his court, and they think that everything they get will be wiped out overnight, so they are not angry and have a cold attitude.

Luan Yi had anticipated these two points long before Sun Ce's surrender, and had some advice to the civil and military forces in the sect at the subsequent meeting.

He told his subordinates that being too cold would make them feel hostile; If you are too enthusiastic, you will feel that the other person is false, and that they are giving charity out of pity. Being too polite can make the other person feel distant; If you are too contrived, you will feel hypocritical.

Therefore, it is necessary to show an attitude that is neither cold nor too enthusiastic, neither too polite nor pretentious.

This statement is easy for smart people like Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, and Jia Xu, all of whom are experts in observation, and they will do these things even if Luan Yi doesn't tell them.

But for reckless men like Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Dian Wei, and Xu Chu, this degree is difficult to grasp. Guan Yu said that everyone in the Han Dynasty knew that his face would open his phoenix eyes unless he killed someone, and he had been the same all year round for the rest of his life, touching his beard, squinting his phoenix eyes and not smiling. In other words, as long as he didn't open his eyes randomly, the people at the banquet would not have any thoughts about his cold expression.

Dian Wei is also easy to say. This guy is honest and doesn't talk much. Sitting at your seat and eating honestly will not cause any trouble.

The most problematic ...... It's Zhang Fei. This guy ...... Right! There is no score, and the more you drink, the more you lose it.

So, Luan Yi didn't invite him to the banquet that day. In order to prevent Zhang Fei from knowing the inside story, Luan Yi also specially asked Xu Chu, Dian Wei, and Huang Zhong to join forces to get Zhang Fei drunk one night in advance. I didn't wake up from my drunken sleep until this morning.

Luan Yi thought that this matter would be so confused, but he never thought that after the third round of drinking, Zhang Fei finally came.

He carried a wine jar, swayed into the big tent, and complained: "Sect Master, how can you ...... such a big battle today?" Belch...... It's not called me Lao Zhang? ”

Luan Yi rubbed his face violently and said bitterly: "What's that...... I saw that the third brother had eaten too much wine, so I was embarrassed to bother you. ”

"I ...... Not drunk. Zhang Fei shook three times, glared at the big tent with bull's eyes, locked Sun Ce, rolled up his sleeves and showed his voice, "Oh, little overlord Sun Ce!" ”

This voice frightened the Jiangdong civil and military forces who were full of tents.

Luan Yi rubbed his face again, "I thought, it's over, it's all over now." "Third brother, don't be rude, General Sun is our guest today."

"Guests?" Zhang Fei laughed inexplicably, and then suddenly straightened his face, glared at Sun Ce and said, "Sun Bofu, dare to fight with me." ”

No way. Xi Zhicai muttered, and hurriedly came out to play the round, "Brother Yide! You drank too much, come here, and don't pull General Zhang down to rest. ”

"I didn't drink too much." Zhang Fei shook his hand casually, and the two guards who came to support him were knocked to the ground.

Sun Ce, who was repeatedly provoked by Zhang Fei, was also anxious, and got up in a fight, "I'm afraid you won't succeed?" Foot or horse? ”

Zhang Fei shook his big sleeves, "Lao Tzu is a civilized person, so he won't dance with a knife and a gun at every turn." Lao Tzu wants to fight with you. ”

"I'm afraid of you. Come on, change me for a sea bowl. Sun Ce roared, really took the sea bowl, poured a whole bowl of immortal brew and drank it.

"Good amount of alcohol!" Including Luan Yi, the church and all the civil and military generals in Jiangdong applauded in unison.
