Wang Yu made a decision quickly, Sun Ce was not slow, and two days later, his reply was placed on Wang Yu's desk.

"Sun Bofu is really a cheerful person, alas, it's a pity." Wang Yu shook the letterhead in his hand and suddenly sighed.

As the lord, Wang Yu does have many shortcomings, but his biggest advantage is that his temper is easy to figure out. Under his command, the ministers did not have to tremble to analyze his every word and guess how he was feeling.

Even Xu Sheng, who has not been here long ago and has little experience, knows that his father-in-law likes heroes, especially the kind of straightforward people. Obviously, after seeing Sun Ce's reply, the lord's talent collecting habit began to attack again.

Of course, this time he was destined to be disappointed, not to mention that Sun Ce had already achieved his wings, even if he wasn't, the Sun family of Wujun was not a horn that could be willing to live under the people.

"How did General Sun reply?" Zhuge Liang asked seriously.

Wang Yu is very different from the image of Mingjun in his mind.

Traditional monarchs usually don't have a single person, even if they are emperors with a very special style like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the words and deeds that usually get along with their subordinates are no different from those of Wenjing and Huan Ling, who are either wise or mediocre.

This is not determined by the individual, but by some laws that must be followed in his or her position. Even if it is contrary to this xìng, it must be done diligently, otherwise it will be difficult to ensure the stability of the rule.

And Wang Yu ......

There is no deep mood that is not in the form of sè, there is no legendary imperial mentality, and he personally wields a lance into battle at every turn, staining his robe with blood, he rarely even hides his thoughts, and faces everyone in the shogunate openly and honestly, not minding others to guess and grasp his thoughts and emotions at all.

Zhuge Liang felt that Wang Yu's ability to achieve today's pattern was simply a miracle! If it weren't for God's favor, how could he have been able to operate smoothly so far with his way of governing that subverted all common sense, and he still showed great stamina?

He finally agreed to stay in Qingzhou, although he was persuaded by Wang Yu's run and his friends, but it was not a manifestation of his extreme curiosity about Qingzhou and Wang Yu.

He wanted to know and witness with his own eyes how long Wang Yu's unique charm could last and what kind of point would lead Qingzhou to.

Therefore, he didn't bother to make much fun, and asked directly about the contents of the letter. And Wang Yu's reaction was not what he expected, so he pushed it out casually, and said very casually: "Let's see for yourself." ”

The stakes are very high, but the content of the letter is only a few sentences, Zhuge Liang received the letter, and then handed the letter to Pang Tong in a blink of an eye, and the content of the letter was unobstructed. After reading Sun Ce's response, he really had the most appropriate understanding of Wang Yu's refreshing words.

Time, place, and characters, later generations called these three elements of novels, although Sun Ce does not write novels, his reply strictly abides by this rule.

The location, he designated, was in Yicheng County, which is located in the upper reaches of the Huai River, which is a completely uncontroversial location.

This place is located in the confluence of the vortex and Huai rivers, since ancient times it is the place where the soldiers must fight, this kind of place, usually meets some standards, such as: there is danger to rely on, the four fields are open, the transportation is convenient, and the army can be carried out to fight and so on.

In addition to the above-mentioned conveniences, Yicheng is such a place, and its geographical location is just at the junction of Henan, Yang, and Xuzhou. Although it is Yuan Shu's territory, unless Yuan Shu mobilizes all the main forces to come over, it is impossible to surround this place.

Wang Yu went south before, preparing to make an alliance with Yuan Shu, and the place he chose was also here, and from this level, the two sides coincided.

The time was set according to the location, basically the time to receive Wang Yu's reply was estimated, and then the time consumed on the road was counted, and it was finally set ten days later.

The characters, in fact, are the candidates to participate in the war. According to Sun Ce's ideas, he may be more willing to have a heads-up, but the Jiangdong generals have similar thoughts to Zhuge Liang, and they feel that the risk of group fights is smaller.

If Wang Yu is afraid of Sun Ce, Jiang Dongfang should be described as afraid when facing Wang Yu. Zhu Huaxiong, defeated Yan Liang, and beheaded Guan Yu, Wang Yu's name as the world's first general is set off by a series of very loud names, but it is not Xu Zi's empty vernacular, how can Jiangdong people not worry?

The internal and external opinions were unified, and although Sun Ce was reluctant, he couldn't go his own way in the end.

What's more, his competition with Wang Yu was not limited to martial arts, but an all-round competition. In fact, the art of war can also be used in the group fight, at least in terms of formation and arrangement, it is necessary to use some brains, and it is much more comprehensive than heads-up.

The characters are probably the only thing that is controversial.

Sun Ce's lineup is relatively large, and the three old courtiers Huang Gai, Han Dang, and Cheng Pu must be guarded. In addition, Sun Ce also has four rising stars on his side, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Chen Wu, and Zhu Huan are all admired and invested in his command before and after he crossed the river, and they have performed well in all the battles against Liu Xuan.

Then there are the thirteen generals who came to vote for the old relationship, including Dong Xi from Yuyao, Ling Cāo from Yuhang, Deng Dang from Wu County, and Song Qian, Xu Zhong, and Sun Gui from Fuchūn.

The nine people up to Ling Cāo, Wang Yu all know their names, and he has no impression of the latter ones, but he is very familiar with the number of thirteen horses, and when Sun Ce and Tai Shici fought each other in the novel, didn't they bring thirteen accompanying guards? It looks like it's the thirteen people right now.

These people don't have too strong masters, as far as Wang Yu knows, that is, Zhou Tai and Zhu Huan's martial arts can be among the first-class, and the rest are second-rate characters, but the problem is that there are many people on the other side.

There were only seven people on Wang Yu's side, but there were fourteen on the opposite side, even if the average combat power was higher, after all, it was already inferior from the beginning.

Qingzhou's real military lineup is of course far more than this, if even second-rate people are counted, Wang Yu can pull out twenty or thirty people if he says the least.

The question is, how could he have expected such a thing to happen when he rode south? If you think of it in advance, it doesn't take much, just pull Tai Shi Ci up.

It's troublesome now, even if Chen Dao can be persuaded urgently, there are only eight people in total, and there are still some shortcomings. Moreover, Chen Zhi's xìng grid is quite stubborn, and it is not easy to persuade him to surrender.

"Can you consult on the selection of candidates?" Ji Ling boldly proposed: "Or ask General Gongming from Yanzhou to bring his lieutenant general to help in the war?" ”

"Where is it necessary to be so mobilized?" Zhuge Liang shook his head: "If someone takes advantage of General Gongming's departure to make trouble and frustrates the Taishan army, it will really be a small loss and become a laughing stock." ”

"I'm afraid it's not appropriate to negotiate."

Pang Tong also said: "Intelligence shows that the thirteen people on the Jiangdong list are all powerful generals in the Jiangdong Army, either because of military merits or brought by their families, and they have subordinates under their command, and their martial arts may be high or low, but their status is not high. This fight for generals was originally a battle for fame, the lord Na Kongming's proposal, put forward the fight general, General Sun accepted it all, and replied quickly, if it was our army...... Well, it's not quite right. ”

Fighting generals, which were popular in the Chūn Autumn Period, are somewhat similar to the knightly system of the Western Middle Ages, and they are fighting for fame.

Soldiers are not tired of cheating, it will not work in this mode, if anyone bargains first, the momentum will suddenly lose, even if they win, it will be difficult to say confidently that they have won after the war, and it will be even worse if they lose. Instead of bargaining, it is better to refuse directly, and the result is similar anyway.

"Forget it, don't think too much, select a few generals from the army who are similar in martial arts, and just gather thirteen horsemen." Wang Yu waved his hand, I don't think this is a big deal, it's still that sentence, I have Zhao Yun on my side, against second-rate players, one can top four or five, Wei Yan and Zhang Jaw are not mediocre hands, what is there to worry about?

The generals didn't think it was a big deal, but Zhuge Liang was concerned about Wang Yu's safety, so no one raised any objections, Wang Yu spoke, then there was nothing to discuss, everyone just sharpened their knives and guns, raised enough strength, and waited for the fight. Well, there are also a few generals to choose from the army.

Zhuge Liang was unwilling, but after thinking about it, he had no other way but to study carefully with Pang Tong, carefully research, and hope to dig out a few pearls from the army.

Of course, the hope is very slim, the influence of Wang Yu's hussar list is too great, there is no martial arts, but if there is a little special, it is basically all in one net. Zhuge Liang is just counting on the fact that he has recently surrendered and rebelled, and has gained a lot of new soldiers, so he may be able to find something to gain from it.

Wang Yu didn't pay attention to this, his attention was on Guan Ping, although the latter didn't say a word like Chen Zhi, but he had always been depressed, and only when he called his name to fight, did he show a little surprised, but it was only for a moment.

Slightly worried, after the military discussion was dispersed, Wang Yu found Guan Ping.

"Still sad?"

"Yes......" Guan Ping was stunned at first, then shocked, and looked a little panicked when he answered: "The lord forgives his sins, Ping is not ignorant of the lord's tolerance and generosity, but ......"

"Don't be so nervous, I'm not a tiger, besides, with Tanzhi's bravery, even if a tiger jumps in front of him, why be afraid?" Wang Yu patted the other party's shoulder, and his tone was a little deep: "Life and death always make people sad, but the general will inevitably die in battle, and the two brothers Yun Chang and Yide are also seeking benevolence, and it is not a happy thing to die like this." ”

Wang Yu's words are meaningful, and it is difficult for ordinary people to understand the deep meaning.

Liu Bei has always been afraid to use Guan Zhang, before entering Shu, Liu Bei appointed Zhuge Liang to stay in Jingzhou, but it was not good to enter Shu, and in desperation, Guan Yu was appointed. And Zhang Fei made great contributions in Pingshu, but in the end he only got a position as a Brazilian taishou and was in the middle of the army.

Langzhong is a strategic location in Yizhou, but in Xishu's expansion strategy, it is at most a logistics base.

Historically, Zhang Fei had a short temper, always whipped the soldiers after getting drunk, and finally died because of it.

Therefore, Wang Yu felt that even if these two fell in the battle of Xuzhou, they would be stronger than the ending of the previous life.

At first hearing this, Guan Ping's face flashed red, which was anger. But soon, he revealed a contemplative sè.

The battle of Luxian County, he witnessed the whole process.

In that battle, Liu Beijun's only chance was for Liu Bei to take the risk of joining Zhang Fei, so that Zhang Fei would not go out of the city to save people in desperation, and Liu Beijun could save a trace of vitality and choose to withdraw from Xuzhou, or stick to Pengcheng, so that the strategic goal of Qingzhou Army to quickly pacify Xuzhou failed.

If Guan Yu is still alive, after hearing the news that Pengcheng is being besieged, even if he is injured, he will try to rush to the convergence, even if he fails in the end, at least the three of them can fight vigorously together.

As a result, Liu Bei spared his life and refused to take risks, and in the end, the huge power disappeared. If it's just for Liu Bei's life, then what is the plan of the father-in-law after he dies?

Thinking of Liu Beijun's last time, Guan Ping was also full of emotion, and he was somewhat unhappy about the situation of his father-in-law and third uncle, and he also acquiesced to Wang Yu's statement.

"Don't think too much, the best way to commemorate the deceased is to inherit his name and legend, and let his name be known to the world along with your legend......" Wang Yu's tone was a little more excited, and as he spoke, he waved behind him, and a personal guard quickly caught up, offering the Qinglong Glaive Sword with both hands.

"Sadness, resentment, regret, for the generals, these emotions are all strength, no tears, only blood......" Wang Yu took the Qinglong knife from the hands of the guards, and solemnly handed it to Guan Ping: "Take it, follow me, and inherit their legend together and carry it forward!" ”

“…… Here! Guan Ping was moved, took the knife, and promised!
