Chapter 43: Huainan Liu Ye (middle)
"Dare to ask sir, if Zheng Bao really secretly colludes with Jiangdong, who is the biggest threat?"
"......" Liu Ye was completely desperate, because since Wang Chong was able to raise this question, it showed that he had already seen the current situation thoroughly.
Liu Xun, the Taishou of Lujiang, confronted the Jiangdong Army across the river in Wancheng, and although the two sides had not yet clashed with each other, they had been wary of each other.
If it was just Zheng Bao or Jinfan occupying the mouth of the water, Liu Xun would not care too much, because these two parties would not pose a threat to him at all, in fact, the previous mouth of the mouth had always been under Zheng Bao's control, Liu Xun did not say anything, but Jiangdong is different, once they dare to put their tentacles into the Lujiang River, it will undoubtedly touch the bottom limit of Liu Xun's sensitivity.
Therefore, unless the Jiangdong Army is ready for an all-out war with Liu Xun, it will never dare to easily send troops to attack Misukou.
As for the collusion between Zheng Bao and Jiang Dongjun, it is nothing more than Liu Ye saying this in order to fool Wang Chong, but it is not very likely.
As we all know, Sun Ce's attitude towards local heroes has always been very tough, will Zheng Bao and others be willing to hand over their military power to Sun Ce's oppression? What's more, if the two sides were secretly linked, Sun Ce's army would probably have already invaded the territory of the Lujiang River through the mouth of the Xukou, and how could it not stand still until now?
After all, with Zheng Bao and other local heroes in Lujiang County to help, even if Liu Xun has the ability to reach the sky, there is only one way to destroy.
To sum up, it can be concluded that the large number of remarks that Liu Ye just said is completely alarmist, and it may be okay to bluff a reckless man with a less bright mind, but how can he hide it from Wang Chong?
"The leader is brilliant, Ye has an axe today, but he is smiling and generous!" Liu Ye was drenched in cold sweat by Wang Chong's playful gaze, and finally smiled bitterly, and had to admit that he did have ulterior motives for coming.
Wang Chong looked at Liu Ye with a smile: "I Jinfan and Mr. have no grudges in the past, and there is no enmity recently, Mr. is so calculating, it is really not a gentleman's doing." ”
Liu Ye's face turned red: "Ye, I'm ashamed!" ”
Wang Chong looked at Liu Ye with an embarrassed face with interest: "Let's talk about it, what do you want me to do with you?" ”
"This ......" Liu Ye's face alternated with complicated colors, and only after half a sound did he lower his head in resignation, and sighed dejectedly, "Let the leader dispose of it!" ”
"In that case, then Mr. will stay in Jinfan for a period of time to join the army!"
"Huh?" Liu Ye's face suddenly turned pale, and his first reaction at the moment was to feel humiliated, thinking that he was a dignified member of the Han family, and he actually let him stay in the thief's den to join the army? Isn't that humiliation, and what is it?
Wang Chong frowned and said, "What? Does Mr. look down on us Jinfan? ”
Liu Ye didn't speak, just looked at Wang Chong with a stubborn face, the meaning was obvious, just four words, I'd rather die than obey!
Seeing this, Wang Chong stood up from his position, and at this moment, his expression was gloomy and almost dripping.
In the final analysis, Liu Ye felt that it was a humiliation for Wang Chong to let him stay in Jinfan as an army, but his attitude of vowing to die and unwilling to serve Jinfan was not humiliating Wang Chong?
The cold murderous intent in Wang Chong's eyes was terrifying, but Liu Ye was not afraid, because with the revelation of his plan to calculate Jinfan, he was actually mentally prepared to be killed.
"Whew!" Taking a deep breath, Wang Chong forcibly forced himself to calm down, if it weren't for the fact that the current Jinfan is really short of talents, and Liu Ye happens to be a rare talent, Wang Chong is afraid that he will really not be able to hold back the killing intent in his heart, and drag Liu Ye out and cut him with a knife, in order to vent the aggrieved anger in his heart.
"To tell you the truth, before Mr. visited, I had already sent someone to Anhui City, indicating that my Jinfan was willing to attach to Liu Xun and guard the mouth of the Xukou for him, if Liu Xun agreed, I believe that there will be an appointment soon, and at that time, my Jinfan is nominally an official army, so is Mr. still unwilling to stay in Jinfan?"
"Oh?" Liu Ye's eyes couldn't help flashing with a touch of horror, Wang Chong's ability to forbear and the overall situation he showed at this moment made him feel deeply shocked.
He had just resisted Wang Chong like this, and he was already determined to die, but he didn't expect Wang Chong to endure it in the end, this self-control alone is no longer something ordinary people can have, and Wang Chong chose to temporarily attach himself to Liu Xun, this step is undoubtedly very exquisite.
As a thief army, it is not easy to survive in the cracks, especially when it develops to the scale of Jinfan, it will definitely become a thorn in the side of the official army to get rid of it, in this case, how can you survive? This is obviously a university question.
At this point, Wang Chong undoubtedly made a smart choice.
Take advantage of it!
Liu Ye could see that Wang Chong didn't really want to surrender, he just wanted to use Liu Xun's name to protect himself, because once he nominally became Liu Xun's subordinate, then whether it was Sun Ce or Zheng Bao, before he wanted to move Jinfan, he probably had to weigh it first.
As for whether Liu Xun will accept Jinfan's surrender, this answer is even more obvious.
Wet Xukou was not Liu Xun's territory in the first place, and now Jinfan's attachment not only allowed him to get a strong new force for nothing, but also occupied such an important port between the two sides of the Jianghuai River, no matter from which point of view, Liu Xun had no reason to refuse, although Wang Chong would not really hand over Jinfan's military power to Liu Xun, but even if it was only on the surface, it was enough to make Liu Xun's prestige in Lujiang County soar.
"This son will not be a thing in the pool in the future!"
Liu Ye secretly defined Wang Chong, and at the same time, he also developed a strong interest in Wang Chong.
Liu Ye pondered for a while, and said to Wang Chong: "Since Jinfan has become an official army now, then Ye ...... Willing to stay and play for Jinfan for the time being! ”
Although there is only one word difference between the official army and the thief army, the meaning is very different, at least after Jinfan became an official army, Liu Ye no longer has to bear such a big psychological burden.
Wang Chong, who got his wish, immediately turned from gloomy to sunny, laughed three times and said: "With Mr. Ziyang's help, my Jinfan will definitely be like a tiger in the future!" ”
Subsequently, Wang Chong immediately made a big feast and warmly entertained Liu Ye.
At the banquet, in addition to Zhuge Jin, Gan Ning, Li Tao and other important generals of Jinfan, who had not returned from Anhui City, even Tai Shici, who was a prisoner, was also invited by Wang Chong.
Liu Ye became famous at a young age, and he is a relative of the Han family, and he is extremely famous on both sides of the Jianghuai River, and everyone present has more or less heard of his name, so they have changed their previous rudeness and shown enough respect for Liu Ye.
And since Liu Ye agreed to stay in Jinfan, he naturally tried his best to improve the relationship with Jinfan's generals, so after a banquet, the two sides got along happily and very harmoniously.
