Chapter 137: Ruffian
Yuan Wei stared at Zhou Yu's eyes and said, "If I have to find the yang." ”
Zhou Yu didn't give in and said, "Then there's nothing to talk about." ”
Yuan Wei frowned and was silent, he was figuring out Zhou Yu's determination, Xunyang may or may not be Zhou Yu's bottom line, which is a great test of Yuan Yu's eyesight.
Yuan is figuring out Zhou Yu's determination, why isn't Zhou Yu also figuring out Yuan Yu's intentions?
To be honest, Zhou Yu didn't expect Yuan to choose Xunyang as a temporary foothold.
Zhou Yu originally thought that after Yuan Nuo gave up the Lujiang River, the greatest possibility was to choose a small county in the north from Huainan County as a temporary foothold, and after the army was rested, he left Yangzhou and went north to Qingzhou via Xuzhou.
However, Yuan Nuo chose Xunyang County.
Could it be that Yuan really intends to be Liu Biao's watchdog?
Just when Yuan Wei and Zhou Yu were figuring out each other's intentions, the most unexpected thing for the two suddenly happened.
Sun Ce suddenly interjected and said to Yuan No: "Yuan No, Xunyang can be given to you, but I also have one condition!" ”
Zhou Yu was in a hurry when he heard this, the geographical location of Xunyang was too important, once it fell into the hands of the Jingzhou army, it would become an iron gate for the Jiangdong army to advance westward, and he had to open his mouth to persuade Sun Ce at the moment.
Sun Ce suddenly raised his hand and stopped Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu choked back into his stomach when he spit out the words that came to his mouth, no matter what, Sun Ce is the lord of Jiangdong, and he can say whatever he wants in private, but he must maintain the dignity of Sun Ce's lord in front of people, and Zhou Yu naturally has this political consciousness.
Sun Ce said: "Yuan No." Xunyang can be given to you. But I also have one condition. ”
Yuan Wei said: "I want to hear it." ”
Sun Ce stared at Yuan Fu's eyes. Said word by word: "Give me back the heirloom jade seal that originally belonged to my Sun family!" ”
"Hahaha, Brother Bofu's words are really fresh." Yuan Wei looked up to the sky and said with a straight face, "The jade seal of the country is clearly a royal thing, a utensil of the Son of Heaven, when did it become your grandson's?" Could it be that you, Sun Ce, also want to follow his father's throne and claim the title of emperor? Huh? ”
"You?!" Sun Ce was speechless, but he would never dare to accept this.
Of course, Sun Ce has a heart of arrogance in his heart. It is the strong scholars in Jiangdong who are not loyal to the Han family, and they also hope that the Sun family will be the emperor, because only in this way can the strong and powerful scholars in Jiangdong seize greater power and gain more benefits with greater power.
However, it is one thing to think in your heart, it is another to say it, and it is another thing to put it into action!
At present, the Sun family already has five counties in Yangzhou. But in terms of strength, don't say that it is compared with Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao. Even compared to Cao Cao, it is far inferior, at this time, if Sun Ce dares to usurp the throne and become the emperor, he is afraid that the end will not be much better than Yuan Shu, so Sun Ce will never dare to admit this.
Yuan Wei snorted, and continued: "What's more, I have already handed over the heirloom jade seal to Cao Gong, and then presented it to His Majesty the Son of Heaven through Cao Gong, but where can I find the second heirloom jade seal?" ”
Sun Ce's face was dark, but he was helpless to take Yuan No's ruffian.
Everyone knows that Yuan Nuo actually did not dedicate the jade seal to Cao Cao, what he dedicated to Cao Cao was just an empty box, the real jade seal of the country has actually been left by Yuan Shu's side, and after Yuan Shu died, it entered Yuan Shu's hands, but Yuan Wei did not admit it, what can be done? Unless this guy is defeated and arrested, the question is, how easy is it to arrest him?
"Okay, okay." Sun Ce had no choice but to retreat, and then said, "You can not give the jade seal of the country, but Tai Shici, you have to let him go." ”
"Tai Shi Ci?" Yuan Wei looked at his innocent eyes and asked blankly, "Who is Tai Shici?" ”
Ji Ling and Xu Sheng are all black lines on their foreheads, aren't they, isn't Tai Shici your guest in the seat? Haven't you been discussing cavalry tactics with him every day lately? Everyone knows that you want to recruit Tai Shi Ci, but unfortunately it is difficult to do so, you actually ask us who Tai Shi Ci is? This, this, Childe shouldn't be paranoid, right?
Liu Ye reacted quickly and said: "Son, you forgot, the one you killed in Xia Cai is Tai Shici!" ”
"Oh yes, how did I forget." Yuan Wei slapped his forehead and said to Sun Ce, "Brother Bofu, isn't it embarrassing for me if you ask me to return you a dead man who has died in battle?" ”
"Dead people?" Sun Ce sneered, "Ha, you really dare to say that Zhang Niuli said that Tai Shici is not dead, he has been put under house arrest by you!" ”
"Zhang calf?" Yuan Wei said, "You call him to confront him." ”
"You ......" Sun Ce was speechless again, but Zhang Niucalf was dead, where could he still come back to confront him?
"Look." Yuan Fu spread his hands and said, "Zhang Niu didn't dare to confront him, it can be seen that he is talking nonsense." ”
"Haha, I've seen it today, what does it mean to talk nonsense with your eyes open!" Sun Ce laughed angrily, but he also knew that Yuan Nuo would never let Tai Shi Ci back, if he was Yuan No, he would not put a fierce general like Tai Shi Ci back, if he couldn't use it for himself, he would naturally kill him.
Zhou Yu interjected again and said: "We can understand that Gongzi is unwilling to return General Taishi, but the traitor Ma Zhong, Gongzi must return to us, if Gongzi is not even willing to return Ma Zhong to us, if he is not even willing to make such a small concession, we have to doubt the sincerity of Gongzi to negotiate peace." ”
Zhou Yu already knew that Ma Zhong had surrendered and failed, so he wanted to get Ma Zhong back.
In any case, Ma Zhong is a great general, and his archery skills are especially good, and he is still very useful.
"Ma Zhong?" Yuan Fu spread his hands and said, "I'm really embarrassed, I thought Ma Zhong was a fraud and had already been killed." ”
Yuan naturally won't let Ma Zhong go back, Ma Zhong is good at archery, let him go back, isn't that an enemy? Yuan is not stupid.
"What, killed?" Zhou Yu also instantly floated two black lines on his forehead, he also saw it, Yuan No's face is really not ordinarily thick, and he will repay carefully, Ma Zhong is clearly imprisoned in the prison, but Yuan Yu dares to say that he has been killed, can this nun be more shameless?
"That's right, kill it." Yuan said, "I can't hand it over." ”
Sun Ce was annoyed, and said to the case: "This is not good, that is not good, do you still want to negotiate peace?" ”
Yuan Wei also followed the heavy shot, sat up on his knees and shouted: "If it doesn't work, it won't work, if you don't have it, if you want me to make something out of nothing, I can't do it." ”
So far in the negotiations, the former brother and brother Gong have long been gone.
Sun Ce said senran: "Then, the matter of peace negotiation will be stopped, and you and I will see each other on the battlefield." ”
"If you want to fight, you will fight, who is afraid of whom?" Yuan Wei said-for-tat, "Sun Ce, don't think that I really want to negotiate peace!" ”
Seeing that the two were about to collapse, Zhou Yu and Liu Ye hurriedly stepped forward to dissuade the two, so that they could sit back on the table.
After a small episode, the peace agreement was finally reached, but Sun Ce's conditions were finally not met, and Yuan Wei got his wish to Xunyang.
(Dividing Line)
As soon as he returned to the camp, Zhou Yu complained to Sun Ce: "Bo Fu, you shouldn't hand over Xunyang to Yuan No." ”
Lu Meng also said: "Yes, my lord, Xunyang is adjacent to Peng Lize in the east, the mountains in the north, the river in the south, and Jiangxia in the west, the geographical location is very important, as long as we control Xunyang, it is equivalent to choking Jiangxia's throat, choking Jiangxia's throat, it is equivalent to choking Jingxiang's throat, and in the future, Jingxiang will be invincible." ”
I have to say that Lu Meng has been studying the art of war with Zhou Yu for days, and his military vision has greatly improved.
Sun Ce waved his hand and said, "Don't I know the importance of seeking the sun?" But compared with the jade seal of the country, Xunyang is nothing, to put it bluntly, although Xunyang is dangerous, it can be obtained by military means, but the jade seal, once Yuan Wei Xiaoer is brought to the Central Plains, or even brought to Hebei, I will never be able to get it back. ”
Zhou Yu was silent, and he still couldn't let go of the obsession of the jade seal after all.
Lu Meng rolled his eyes and said: "Lord, otherwise, although you and the governor lead the army to retreat, the last general will lead an elite army to set up an ambush on the road that must be passed, attack and kill Yuan Wei in one fell swoop, and recapture the jade seal!" ”
Sun Ce was quite moved, but Zhou Yu shook his head and said: "This matter is not possible, Yuan is cunning, but he is cautious in using soldiers, it is not easy to let Yuan Que ambush in the child, and if there are fewer soldiers, I am afraid that Yuan Nuo will not be able to, if there are more soldiers, but he will definitely not be able to deceive Yuan No, and it will attract the world's discussion and ruin the reputation of the Sun family." ”
Sun Ce nodded and said, "What Gong Jin said is extremely true, and the matter of ambushing the soldiers is over. ”
With a cold smile, Sun Ce said again: "What's more, Yuan Wei Xiao'er entered Xunyang, but he died by himself, Xunyang is of course easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it is also difficult to fight out, as long as he is trapped in Xunyang, we have time, and some methods are to slowly clean him up, not to mention, as long as there is a strong enough water master, is Xunyang really a natural danger?" ”
Zhou Yu and Lu Meng glanced at each other, Sun Ce was right, if the Jiangdong Army had a strong enough naval division, Xunyang was indeed not a natural danger, because from Jiangshui and Peng Lize could directly attack Xunyang, if it entered the winter, the Jiangdong Army could even cross the mountain and attack Xunyang from the side, and Xunyang would be attacked on three sides at that time.
However, Zhou Yu said: "Bo Fu, building a water army is not an overnight achievement. ”
"I know that." Sun Ce said, "Right now in the north, Yuan Shao is fighting with Gongsun Zhan, Cao Cao is fighting with Lu Bu, after these two battles are decided, there will be a shocking battle between the winners, so we still have five years at least, or even ten years at most, can't we build a naval army?" ”
Zhou Yu nodded, and said, "But Bo Fu, I'm afraid Yuan Wei won't stay in Xunyang for too long." ”
"Huh?" Sun Ce's eyes lit up, and he asked in a deep voice, "What do you mean by this?" (To be continued......)
