Sun Shao frowned, he was really a little unbearable. Do you really think that you will become a Confucian after a few days of reading? The famous general Zhang Huan annotated 300,000 words of Shangshu, and Confucian scholars did not recognize him as a fellow practitioner or a martial artist. You have been reading half-baked all spring and autumn, how can you be more difficult than Confucianism?

"Does Uncle Yue know about Zigong?" Sun Shao rolled his eyes and said very unhappily: "Uncle Yue, it's okay for you to look down on me, but it seems that something is wrong for you to look down on Zigong, right?" Saints can accept businessmen as disciples, why do you always have trouble with businessmen? Besides, without me, a pariah, providing you with food, grass and military baggage, would you still have the strength to stand here and speak? After speaking, without waiting for Guan Yu to answer, he brushed his sleeves and left.

Guan Yu was stunned by what he said, raised his arm and pointed at Sun Shao's back, and stopped talking. has known Sun Shao for so long, and Sun Shao is angry at him for the first time, but he is speechless and unable to refute this.

"This ...... Why is this shaft so rude? Guan Yu couldn't hold back a little, and blushed and argued strongly.

"Awn, that's your fault." Guan Feng saw that Elfang's face in the distance was a little gloating, so he hurriedly pulled Guan Yu's sleeve, pulled him aside, and complained in a low voice: "Feng Xian is doing his best for your business, how can you scold him for being a pariah in front of such a person?" Besides, the Elk family is also a businessman, if it weren't for the sponsorship of the Elk family, would the lord have been able to come back to life? Now that Mrs. Elk is dead in Nagasaka Slope, the life and death of the two young ladies are unknown, and the Elk family is also a loyal servant of the lord, if you say such things in front of the Elk family, wouldn't it be ugly for the Elk family? ”

Guan Yu's eyes widened, and he felt that he was a little unreasonable, so he couldn't speak softly, so he had to snort and said unhappily: "Why do you dare to refute me now?" ”

"Isn't that what you taught me to be a father at home and a husband to be a monk?" Guan Feng blurted out a retort.

Guan Yu choked, laughed angrily, and waved his hand: "Go, go, go, go from your husband, don't dangle in front of the old man, look upset." ”

Guan Feng knew Guan Yu's temper and knew that even if he was wrong, he would not be able to give in, so he had to smile and still stay by Guan Yu's side. The father and daughter walked all the way along the city wall and gossiped all the way, Guan Feng's tall figure looked particularly petite under the background of Guan Yu, and the sunset sprinkled on them, inlaying a golden edge on the two figures, one high and one low, making the black and red armor soften a lot.

When Guan Feng returned to the mansion, Sun Shao was playing chess with Pang De, and when he saw her come in, he just nodded and didn't say a word. Guan Feng didn't say a word, saluted Pang De, and went in to wash himself. Pang De glanced at Sun Shao and said with a smile: "Quarreled? ”

Sun Shao glanced at him: "I can't imagine that General Pang will actually care about these things?" ”

Pang De smiled, took out a green bag from his arms and put it on the case, and pushed it in front of Sun Shao: "The separation is imminent, there is nothing to give, this is something I wrote, and there is nothing unusual, just leave it to the general as a memorial." ”

Sun Shao's eyes stayed on the green sac for a moment, but he didn't reach out to take it, he put his hands on his thighs, straightened his legs, and sighed: "Time flies so fast, it's been more than half a year in a blink of an eye." ”

Pound smiled silently and did not speak.

"There is no feast in the world." Sun Shao said: "When is the general going to leave the city?" ”

"Early tomorrow morning." Pang De said apologetically: "Since Yang Gong has arrived, and the envoy of the Prime Minister is also coming soon, I want to go and see Cao Gong before they enter the city." ”

Sun Shao thought for a moment, nodded and said, "That's fine." After speaking, he got up and walked to the bookcase, opened the inkstone box, picked up some ink pieces and put them into the inkstone pool, lifted the bronze water and poured a few drops of water, then picked up the bluestone inkstone and gently grinded the ink. When Pang De saw it, he hesitated, rushed over and sat down opposite Sun Shao, and reached out to pick up the inkstone. Sun Shao glanced at him, let go of his hand, Pang De pinched the inkstone, and slowly sharpened the ink. Sun Shao spread out a piece of paper, held a pen in his hand, pondered slightly, and a line of elegant and elegant words flowed out under his hand.

"Later Sun Shao wrote to His Royal Highness King Wei ......"

He wrote unhurriedly, and there was no pause, as if these words had already been thought of in his heart, Pang De looked at the words he had written, grateful inexplicably, Sun Shao after a brief modesty, mainly to tell Cao Ying about his actions in Wancheng, showing that he did not have any unfavorable behavior to Cao Ying, and hoped that Cao Ying would not have any misunderstanding about him. After writing, Sun Shao asked Shuai Zeng to bring a brocade box, and after opening it, there was a delicate clairvoyant inside. Sun Shao picked up the clairvoyance and caressed the exquisite pattern on it with affection: "General, this is my own clairvoyance, the guest and host, there is nothing worth giving away, just give this to the general." ”

Pang De was a little surprised, he knew the important surname of clairvoyance, and few of Sun Shao's subordinate officers had this, and Guan Yu also had one, but it was also given by Sun Shao, and Sun Shao gave him such a precious thing, which was too heavy.

"This ...... I can't do it. Pound repeatedly resigned.

Sun Shao put the clairvoyance in the brocade box and stuffed it into Pound's arms: "At first sight with the old general, half a year will pass in a flash, it's really a little reluctant." Clairvoyance, clairvoyance, I hope the general remembers that there are old people thousands of miles away. ”

Pound was overwhelmed by what he said, and he sighed: "That's it, but it's disrespectful." "Carefully put away the clairvoyance.

Early the next morning, Pang De left Wancheng with his guards, and Cao Ren and others went to see him off. Before leaving, Cao Ren said to Pang De: "Please Ling Ming report back to His Royal Highness the King of Wei, and we will wait here for His Highness to dispose of the defeated army." ”

Pound heard this, and his chest was full of gratitude to Sun Shao. There are many captives and generals in Wancheng, but he is an exception, he is neither a prisoner nor a general, he is just a guest of Sun Shao, compared to the ban He is innocent, even compared to Cao Ren, he is also much more glorious. And all of this is thanks to Sun Shao.

He arched his hand: "Don't worry, general, I will definitely report the general's situation to His Royal Highness King Wei truthfully." Then he waved at Sun Shao and took the people away. Sun Shao watched quietly until he could no longer see a figure, then he turned to Cao Ren and said, "Don't worry, general, just wait for Cao Gong's envoy to arrive in Wancheng and the army conference will be held smoothly, and you can leave Wancheng like General Pang." I only hope that after the general goes back, he will persuade Cao Gong to rest and recuperate, after more than 30 years of fighting, the vitality of the Han Dynasty will be greatly damaged, and the Hu Lu in the north will be ready to move. ”

Cao Ren's jaw head should be.

After Pang De returned to Cao Ying, Cao Ying read Sun Shao's handwritten notebook, comforted Pang De a few words, and asked him to retreat. Sun Shao took everything into account, even if he didn't believe in Pound, he couldn't do anything, otherwise he would be compared to Sun Shao. He hesitated for a long time about Cao Ren's message, Cao Ren's words revealed Sun Shao's meaning, the envoy did not come to Wancheng, and the captives did not want to be released.

"Yang Gong is here." Cao Ying seemed to be talking to himself, and seemed to be saying to Liu Ye and others. He frowned slightly, and his head, which had not hurt for a long time, hurt a little again. For Yang Biao, he has always been in awe, and it is a kind of awe from the bottom of his heart.

Liu Ye thought thoughtfully: "Yang Gong is steady, he is indeed the best person to preside over this military conference." ”

"yes." Cao Ying rubbed his temples, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "But in this way, we don't have much room to do anything." He has had several ups and downs in officialdom, what kind of means have he not seen? Alas - this battle ......" Cao Ying regretted: "How do I feel that I have been deceived by Sun Shao's shaft again?" If he hadn't said that taking Yizhou was the best policy, how could we have fallen to this point today. ”

Liu Ye comforted: "Prime Minister, the strategy of taking Yizhou is not bad, and the strategy of attacking and defending the three-way army is also good, but I didn't expect that first Guan Yu flooded the forbidden army, and then Sun Shao broke through Fancheng, and the middle line collapsed, this is all providence, and the prime minister does not need to blame himself." ”

"Providence, maybe it's really providence." Cao Ying was helpless, thought for a while, and changed the topic: "Who do you think is better to negotiate?" ”

Liu Ye didn't speak, Cao Ying turned his gaze to Xin Bi again, and Xin Bi hesitated: "The minister suggested sending a son." After a while, he explained with some uneasiness: "This matter is too important, I'm afraid it ......."

Cao Ying closed his eyes and thought about it, and patted his hand lightly on the case: "Order, let Zihuan come to Wancheng." ”

Xin Bi bowed down to receive the order.

In mid-April, Cao Pi rushed to Wancheng with some of his subordinates, Cao Ying explained the task to him, and then equipped him with 50 tiger soldiers as personal guards, Hu Hou Xu Chu personally led the team, Cao Pi was very excited, impassionedly assured Cao Ying, must not disgrace the mission. The father and son talked all night, and early the next morning, Cao Pi rushed to Wancheng to meet the Son of Heaven.

Immediately afterwards, Sun Quan's envoy Sun Shao and Liu Bei's envoy Fei Yuan also arrived in Wancheng, and under the auspices of Yang Biao, the military conference was officially opened. But things didn't go well, at the beginning everyone was very polite, no one refused to say that they were rebellious, and they expressed their respect for the Han in unison, but when it came to the specific sphere of influence, they tore their faces and made a big noise. First of all, Sun Shao and Cao Pi quarreled over the ownership of Jiujiang and Lujiang counties, Sun Shao said that Sun Quan was the pastor of Yangzhou, and Jiujiang and Lujiang were both within the scope of Yangzhou, so they had to negotiate and let Zhang Liao withdraw from Hefei first, and hand over Jiujiang and Lujiang counties to Sun Quan. Fei Yuan followed and took advantage of the fire to rob, since Liu Bei is the pastor of Yizhou, then Hanzhong is also within the scope of Yizhou, please Cao Ying first withdraw Xiahou Yuan and Cao Zhibu from Hanzhong, and then talk. However, Fei Yi and Sun Shao did not cooperate for long, and when it came to the ownership of Jingzhou, they also had infighting. Fei Yi said that in the fourteenth year of Jian'an, Liu Bei's cousin Sun Quan rode the general and led the Xuzhou pastor, at that time Sun Quan agreed that Liu Bei would lead the Jingzhou pastor, and later Sun Quan took advantage of Liu Bei's battle with Cao Ying in Guanzhong to send troops to rob the four counties of Jingzhou, which was unruly. Sun Shao ridiculed each other, did Liu Bei lead Jingzhou Mu to say it himself? You also said that my lord of the family leads Xuzhou Mu, do you want to let Cao Gong let Xuzhou out first?

The three families quarreled in circles, and the originally harmonious meeting suddenly became a gladiatorial arena of verbal swords.

As powerful as Yang Biao, he can't control the situation a little. Although he is highly respected, in the face of the three major warlords, no matter how good his reasoning is, it is useless, and no one listens to him. After a few days of quarreling, Yang Biao felt a little dizzy and his eyes were a little flowery, he really felt that he was old and had empty ambitions, but he didn't have the physical strength anymore.

When Sun Shao heard the news, he rushed to visit, looking at the abnormal flush on Yang Biao's face, he knew that the old man was so angry that his blood pressure was high, and the imperial doctor ordered him to take a pulse, and also said that Yang Biao's heart was too hot, and he wanted to recuperate with peace of mind. Yang Biao smiled bitterly, in this current scene, can he recuperate with peace of mind?

Sun Shao waved his hand to let the imperial doctor order to prescribe a prescription, he sat on the side of Yang Biao's sickbed, and said with a smile: "Boss, is it a little unexpected?" ”

Yang Biao sighed. He was fully mentally prepared at the beginning, but now he found that he still underestimated the difficulty of this matter, these princes who were in power did not take the Son of Heaven in their eyes at all, they regarded this Wancheng Soldier Conference as just a stolen conference, openly and secretly to divide the world, and respecting the Son of Heaven was just lip service.

"It's not that morality is useless, it's just that it's too small to make them jealous." Sun Shao said very calmly: "What are they arguing about here, out of their mouths, into the ears of Yang Gong, do others know?" I don't know, so they don't need to be afraid at all. ”

Yang Biao looked at Sun Shao suspiciously, and sat up forcibly: "Does the general have a way?" ”

Sun Shao smiled: "There is a way, I don't know if it works." ”

"You say." Yang Biao said anxiously, whether it is useful or not, speak out and listen to it first.

"Yang Gong, you see, since they can come to Wancheng, it means that none of them are willing to be traitors, which shows that the name still works. The reason why they can ignore morality when it comes to interests is because the voice of morality is too weak in the face of interests. In order for morality to work, it is first necessary to strengthen the power of morality. Where is morality? Sun Shao pointed to his own heart, and then pointed to Yang Biao's heart: "Morality is in the hearts of the people." In the heart of Yang Gong, in my heart, in the heart of the world. ”

Yang Biao suddenly realized: "You mean, publicize this matter to various places, let people from all over the world participate in this matter, and put pressure on them?" ”

Sun Shao nodded.

Yang Biao slapped his thigh, waking up like a dream. Yes, he only thinks about Wancheng, and forgets the civil forces scattered in various states and counties. In addition to these three princes, what other power is the most powerful in the Great Han? Family. Where is the Maison? in the counties of the states. Unlike the princes, they did not want wars, and the common people were certainly devastated, but the losses suffered by the family were also very staggering. They want peace in the world.

Yang Biao then frowned again. "However, if this news is sent to various states and counties or even counties, it will require a lot of manpower, where will Wancheng get so many copied books?" There are fourteen states in the Han Dynasty - in the eighteenth year of Jian'an, Cao Ying had changed the name of Kyushu to the edict of the Son of Heaven, but in addition to the scope of his own rule, the Kyushu system was not recognized, and there were more than 100 counties - there were many new counties, and there were more than 1,000 counties and provinces.

"I have a way." Sun Shao said with a smile: "As long as Yang Gong can hand over the manuscript they discussed to me in time, I promise to hand over a thousand copies within one day." ”

Yang Biao stared at Sun Shao and said, "General Sun, this is not child's play. ”

Sun Shao patted his chest: "Yang Gong, you can rest assured, if there is any mistake, you are the only one who asks." Otherwise, give me a manuscript now, and within twelve hours I will give you a thousand copies of the same kind. ”

Yang Biao saw that Sun Shao was serious, but he was a little unconfident. He rolled his eyes, raised his hand and called a scholar, took a copy of the edict issued by the Son of Heaven to convene a conference to kill soldiers and handed it to Sun Shao: "Do you think this will work?" ”

Sun Shao took it and nodded: "Okay." Yang Gong, you can rest in peace, and by this time tomorrow, I will hand over a thousand manuscripts to you. ”

"If the general can really do it, the old man owes you a big favor." Yang Biao smiled slightly.

"Yang Gong, why are you provoking me?" Sun Shao smiled and said: "There is no need for favors or anything, if Yang Gong can show me the annotations of your family heirloom Shangshu, I will be satisfied, and I guarantee that I will not reach out to the Son of Heaven for any money for all the next papers." ”

Yang Biao was said by Sun Shao to be angry and funny, he still came to do business, and he dared to ask the Son of Heaven for money. But now he didn't care about this, waved his hand to signal Sun Shao to do it first, and then closed his eyes to recuperate, thinking about how to break the current deadlock. After thinking about it, he still felt that Sun Shao's method was good, distributing the content of their arguments to the world, letting more people know what they were talking about, and letting more people know their greed and shamelessness, which would be more or less binding on them. Yang Biao thought further, he knew that the power of the family was strong, and if he could combine the family together, then he might go further.

Perhaps, this is a turning point. Yang Biao suddenly looked forward to it, and he suddenly wanted to see the answer a little impatiently.

The next day, Sun Shao came to Yang Biao's room on time, followed by two strong guards, each holding a thick stack of paper in their hands. Yang Biao didn't wait for Sun Shao to speak, jumped up from the bed, rushed to the front of the two guards, and picked up a piece of paper and looked at it.

On the white paper, the edict was clearly printed.

Look at one more, it's still the same edict. Yang Biao picked up a handful, spread it on the case, and at a glance, it was all exactly the same edict.

"This ......" Yang Biao was surprised and delighted.

"Yang Gong, do you still need it?"

"Yes, yes." Yang Biao laughed loudly, his illness immediately improved by more than half, he held one in one hand, looked left and right, he was inexplicably happy, he looked at Sun Shao and said, "General, how did you do it?" ”

"This ...... Be confidential. Sun Shao smiled slyly: "When will Yang Gong note the Shangshu to me, when will I tell Yang Gong again, and only Yang Gong alone." ”

Yang Biao glared at Sun Shao, this glance was not between colleagues, in a trance, he seemed to be facing his own nephew.

"Okay, since you want to keep it a secret, then I won't ask." Yang Biao stroked his beard with satisfaction: "One thousand copies is not enough, two thousand copies, tomorrow I will let each of them draw up a plan, and then print two thousand copies of their plan and distribute them to various places, so that the world can see their faces." ”

Sun Shao shuddered, this old man was really ruthless, he didn't even say hello, and directly sent out the plan of these lions' big mouths, but he was afraid that the faces of the three families would be completely lost this time.

The next day, Yang Biao reappeared at the venue of the meeting, and Cao Pi and others, who were arguing happily, were a little surprised when they saw it, and they came forward to greet them hypocritically, asking Yang Biao to take care of his body for the country. Yang Biao remained silent, still with a sick face, and said weakly, your opinions are very different, and I don't know which one is better for a while, so let's write a plan for each of you, and then summarize it, I ask the Son of Heaven to review it to see what kind of requirements you have, and I have a good idea.

Cao Pi and the others didn't know what to do, so they agreed immediately, and two days later, they sent the plan over one after another. To be honest, none of them took this seriously, knowing that the other two would not agree to their plan, but they were open anyway. After Yang Biao received the plan, he continued to go back to recuperate, Cao Pi and others didn't care, after quarreling, they held a pen meeting, talking about literature and art, and they were very harmonious.

Half a month later, these three plans, together with the edict of the Son of Heaven, suddenly appeared in Qingxu, Chongyu, Hebei, Yangjingyi and other places, and at first they were still privately disseminated, and later these manuscripts were pasted on the city wall, and in a very short period of time, except for the remote areas, the important cities of the Central Plains, Hebei, and Jiangnan knew about these plans.

The shamelessness and greed revealed in these plans made everyone angry.

When Cao Ying, Sun Quan and Liu Bei got the copy, they scolded, on the one hand, they scolded Yang Biao's hand for being too bad, and on the other hand, they scolded their messenger for being too careless, so that they lost a big face in front of the whole world. Does the human heart matter? It depends on how many people's hearts, no one will be stupid enough to go against the people of the world, in that case, no matter how strong your force is, it will not last long, not to mention that no one has enough strength now.

As soon as this document was released, it was no longer a question of whether or not the meeting could continue to discuss, but a question of how to calm down the instability of the people's minds within oneself. Thirty years of great chaos, so there are far more developed families than unlucky families, and there are far more people who desire peace than those who still want to continue fighting.

Whether it is Cao Ying, Sun Quan and Liu Bei, no one can survive without the support of the family.

Almost at the same time, Cao Pi, Sun Shao and Fei Yi received stern orders: talk, talk well, talk with sincerity, if this disgraceful plan happens again, you will bear all the consequences.

Cao Pi was stupid at the time. The consequences of Sun Shao and Fei Yi's ineffective handling are at most dismissal, while the consequences of his ineffective handling are very serious. Cao Ying was originally dissatisfied with him because of the Yecheng incident, and this time he asked him to negotiate to give him a chance to atone for his crimes, but he didn't expect to be played by Yang Biao with a blue nose and swollen eyes, and he planted a big heel. He gritted his teeth with hatred for Yang Biao, but he was helpless, now the initiative was changed to Yang Biao's hands, if he wanted to do this, he couldn't annoy Yang Biao, otherwise, the army conference would end without a problem, but his position as the son of the world was completely ruined.

(To be continued)
