"What? Yuan Shao is dead? "If Sun Ce and Yiying Jiangdong Wenwu were extremely shocked when they heard of Yuan Shao's defeat at Guandu, then when they heard the news of Yuan Shao's death, their mood was enough to be described as if they had been struck by lightning.

The fine work who came to report nodded and said, "Yuan Shao's army retreated to Yecheng after the defeat. After entering the city, he passed a tea house, and the storyteller in the club happened to be telling the story about Luan Ziqi. When Yuan Shao heard the name of Luan Ziqi, he was shocked and frightened to death! ”

"Luan Ziqi's name is scared to death!" The full hall of civil and military people looked at each other, and sighed for a long time.

At that time, Yuan Shao sat in the land of Hebei, Secluded and Three States, how beautiful it was. Speaking of which, although he only has three states, he is one less state than Luan Yiqing, Yan, Xu, and Yu. However, as the largest prefecture in Dahan, the two prefectures of Hebei and Youyou are not less than Luan Yi in terms of territorial area. Among them, Jizhou is also one of the richest lands in the Han Dynasty, with countless fertile fields, and it is a natural granary that is even more superior than Xuzhou.

At that time, he held the fame of the ancestors of the fourth generation and the three princes, what a pride, which attracted countless people with lofty ideals to vote, Tian Feng, Fu Zhu, Judge, Guo Tu, Feng Ji, Xun Kan, are all famous sages, Zhang He, Gao Lan, Yan Liang, Wen Chou are all famous generals in Hebei.

At that time, he also had 300,000 male troops, including the Bingzhou Army and Youzhou Army, which had been guarding the frontier for a long time and fighting with the Hu people for a long time. These two armies can be called the strongest elite of the Han Dynasty, and the soldiers are beyond the reach of the princes of all walks of life.

Yuan Shao occupies such a favorable time, place, and people, and can be said to be the only person who can compete with Luan Yi among the princes of the Han Dynasty, but now he is defeated by Luan Yi so easily, and he himself was scared to death by Luan Yi, and attracted ridicule from the world after his death. Defeated! Name split!

What does this mean? It means that Luan Yi is even stronger than Yuan Shao, and after capturing Yuan Shao's soldiers and horses, his military strength has risen to a higher level, reaching the peak of the realm. The princes of today have no one to compete with him.

Originally, Sun Ce also wanted to unite with Yuan Shao and attack Luan Yi in the north and south. Now that Yuan Shao is dead, Sun Ce also knows a little about his three sons fighting for power, and he expects that after Yuan Shao's death, the three brothers will kill each other.

When two tigers fight, one will be injured. Luan Yi is on the wall to watch and wait for work, as long as the fisherman who is at ease to do profit, he can easily capture the land of Ji, You, and Sanzhou.

At that time, north of the Yangtze River and east of Tongguan, most of the Han Dynasty will fall into the hands of Luan Yi. Who else can compete with it?

Sun Ce was stunned, and his heart to win the world suddenly cooled by half. Also cold-hearted is the drama Zhicai who sent Jiangdong and has not yet had time to return to Hebei.

Xi Zhicai thought that after he sent an envoy to Jiangdong and matched Sun Ce and Chen Bing Jiangbei to attract Luan Yi, Xuzhou, and Yuzhou, Luanyi's southern troops were trapped and unable to support the northern war, and would be defeated by Yuan Shao due to insufficient troops. But he never thought that Yuan Shao would go south with twice the strength of Luan Yi, and he didn't even capture a city, and he was defeated in less than half a year. And the defeat is so complete.

Many years ago, Luan Yi sent letters many times, earnestly inviting Xi Zhicai to Jinan to create great things, but Xi Zhicai refused without hesitation.

There are three reasons why this is so: first, Xi Zhi is just and upright, and he has always been afraid to be interested in gods and ghosts. In his opinion, the Church of Our Lady created by Luan Yi is just a trick to pretend to be a god and a trick to win people's hearts by fooling the people. Such an act was not done by a gentleman, and he was deeply despised;

Second, he thought that Luan Yi's act of coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes was a big failure. That's right, in the early days of entrepreneurship, there is a son of heaven in hand to occupy a nominal advantage under the banner of obedience and rebellion. But once there is a small achievement, as the power grows greater, the Son of Heaven will become Luan Yi's biggest constraint. became an insurmountable stumbling block for Luan Yi to step into the highest peak of power;

In addition to this, there is a third point. Xi Zhicai was reluctant to take refuge in Luan Yi out of jealousy. Since he was a teenager, Luan Yi has been the leader among their brothers, and it has always been Luan Yi who orders them to do things and arrange their lives. He hated the feeling of being arranged by someone else.

He decided to stay away from the person who had been at the mercy of him for more than ten years and be his true self again. rejected Luan Yi's invitation and defected to Yuan Shao instead.

In the more than six years that he worked under Yuan Shao's account, he worked diligently and traveled everywhere to help Yuan Shao marry the leader of Karasuma; help Yuan Shao form an alliance with Xiliang Han Sui and Jiangdong Sun Ce; And took advantage of the contradictions between the various departments of Xianbei in the north to help Yuan Shao open up the road from Bingzhou to Youzhou, which can be said to have broken his leg and broken his mouth. I thought I could help Yuan Shao achieve a great cause, but I never thought that the dream of the past would become a fantasy so quickly, and the colorful and beautiful bubble exploded when it swelled to the extreme, turning into nothingness.

The loneliness in his heart can be imagined. However, fortunately, Yuan Shao's heirs are still alive, and the foundation of Hebei Sanzhou has not been moved.

So, with the extravagant hope of regrouping, Xi Zhicai found Sun Ce's mansion early in the morning and said goodbye to Sun Ce, "I have been out of Hebei for a long time, and now I am going back." ”

As one of the eight talents of salvation, his talent was famous as early as ten years ago when he was a teenager with Luan Yi, Guo Jia, Xu Shu, Mao Jue, Xun Yu, Xun You, and Cheng Yu. Sun Ce has always admired his talent, and through several exchanges with him in the past few months, he has become more and more talented. So this time, when I heard that Xi Zhi was going to return to Hebei, I was very reluctant, so I said: "The war in Jiangbei is undecided. Sir is not very safe on the way back to the north at this time! Why don't you stay a little longer and wait until the fighting subsides? ”

He originally wanted to use the word "drag" to let Xi Zhicai stay in Jiangdong for a while, and take this opportunity to rein in his heart and attract him. But he never thought that Xi Zhicai refused without hesitation, "The general can rest assured." Safety is not a problem, not far from the river is the boundary of Yuzhou, under which is the people of Yuzhou, the road is very familiar, and there is no danger. ”

Sun Ce smiled awkwardly, didn't say much, and turned his gaze to Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu understood and persuaded Xi Zhicai: "Mr. Xi, listen to Zhou Yu's words." Fang Jin Yuan Shao was defeated, Yuan Shao died, and the dragons of Hebei were leaderless. Several Yuan Shao's nephews: Yuan Tan lives in Youzhou, ** stationed in the state, Yuan Shang is in charge of Jizhou, the three powers are separated, each is not subordinate to each other, and the dispute between brothers is only in the morning and night. Their brothers fought each other, and only Luan Yi profited. At this time, the Yuan family in Hebei Province has already fallen into the name of Sun Mountain, and Mr. is now returning to the north, isn't it self-defeating? On the other hand, my lord sits on six counties and eighty-one states, and holds more than 100,000 strong soldiers in Jiangdong. Meritocracy, appointing people by meritocracy, there are countless advisers inside, and Jiangdong is governed in an orderly manner; There are more than 100 generals outside, who can fight well and open up the eight wildernesses. Why don't you abandon the Yuan family and come to my Jiangdong to create a great cause? ”

Xi Zhicai said respectfully: "I understand your kindness from General Sun and Zhou Changshi." However, Yuan Gong and I have the grace of acquaintance, although Yuan Gong is dead, his son is still alive, as the so-called loyal ministers do not follow the two masters, and they cannot stay in Jiangdong under the ransom. ”

Hearing this, Huang Gai was anxious, "Why are you so uninteresting?" Hebei is in dire straits, my lord misses your talent, and can't bear to let you jump into the fire pit, you are so ignorant! ”

Xi Zhicai wrinkled his nose, noncommittal, and did not answer.

Sun Cefu asked, "Does Mr. really want to leave?" ”

"I have to go!"

"That's it!" Zhou Yu continued, "Since Mr. Xi insists on leaving, it is not good for me to impose a block. It's not as good as this, my lord really appreciates Mr.'s talent, and wants to make Mr. a military advisor a sacrificial wine. Mr. and accept the seal, if things go well in Hebei in the future, he can follow Su Qin's leadership of the Six Kingdoms and seal it, vertical and horizontal. Since then, Hebei and Jiangdong have always been united and jointly crowned Luanyi. If Mr. is determined to change his mind and does not want to serve in Hebei anymore, he can come to Jiangdong at any time. The position of the Koto Three Armies Sacrificial Wine will always be reserved for Mr. How is it? ”

Hearing Zhou Yu's words, Sun Ce secretly gave a thumbs up. Everyone in the world knows that Xi Zhicai admires Su Qin and Zhang Yi the most in his life, and regards himself as the successor of the vertical and horizontal faction. In this case, it must be his lifelong ambition to wander among the princes and hold power under the tent of the princes of many roads. Zhou Yu gave up the post of Jiangdong military division this time, which was in his heart, which can not be described as unintelligent.

In addition, Zhou Yuguo also said that everything is not going well in Hebei, and Xi Zhicai can come to Jiangdong at any time, leaving enough back for Xi Zhicai.

With such a sincere attitude, even hard-hearted people should be moved by it. There is no reason for Xi Zhicai to refuse.

However, to Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's surprise, Xi Zhicai refused, not only refused, but also had a resolute attitude.

Xi Zhicai bowed and said, "Thank you again for General Sun and Zhou Changshi for your kindness." If Hebei falls, one day Luan Yi's army will Chen Bing Jiangbei and point the spearhead at the general. The general only needs to understand this, even if he does not serve in Jiangdong, the relationship between Jiangdong and Hebei is still unbreakable. That being the case, why should you occupy a seat in Jiangdong in vain? The general might as well give up the position of military advisor to someone more worthy of the job. As for the future generations of Hebei, let's wait for later. ”

"This ......" Sun Ce choked for a moment, and then threw his inquiring gaze at Zhou Yu.

At this time, Zhou Yu's face was not good-looking, and he was rejected by Xi Zhicai and became angry. He let out a long breath to suppress his anger, "Since Mr. insists on not staying, then listen to him!" ”

"Thank you!" Xi Zhicai shook the ground, turned his head and left.

Looking at the back of Xi Zhicai's departure, Huang Gai clicked his lips, with a reluctant face, "This capable person is also." Lord, just let him go? ”

"He is resolute, what can he do?" When Sun Ce shook his head helplessly, he heard Zhou Yu suddenly say, "Kill it to prevent future troubles." ”

"Why did Gong Jin (Zhou Yuzi) say this?" Sun Ce was shocked.

Zhou Yu said murderously: "My lord, everyone in the world is cloudy, 'Those who have saved the world's eight talents will win the world.'" 'Fang Jinluan Ziqi has saved the world talent Xu Yuanzhi, the salvation of the land of Mao Xiaozhi, the salvation of the sea of salvation of Wen Ruo, and the salvation star of the world Xun Gongda; Cheng Zhongde, the cloud talent of salvation, was brought under his command, and he was sent to play Zhicai. This time, the drama Zhicai returned to Hebei, and Hebei Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang are definitely not Luan Ziqi's opponents. Sooner or later, Hebei fell under the name of Luan Ziqi. At that time, Luan Yi captured Xi Zhicai, induced by friendship, supplemented by the road of survival, and he must surrender. The eight talents of salvation gathered, and with their abilities, the lord is in danger! ”
