Huang Zhong was finally persuaded by Wang Yu, but he did not change his name as the lord, nor did he respond to Wang Yu's appointment to let him lead an army alone, but only said that he would follow Wang Yu to the north to Qinwang, and only regarded himself as a subordinate.

did not achieve the best effect, and Wang Yu was not disappointed, anyway, this is not the first time this situation has happened, Jia Xu is a precedent.

As long as you stay by your side, there is nothing else to worry about, and as you get to know each other better, sooner or later you will be able to turn these two into your true own.

As he walked, he reached the east of the city, and he was still some distance away from the barracks, when he heard the shouts of orders from inside. Without looking, Wang Yu could also imagine what kind of scene was on the school field, Yu Ban carried out his orders thoroughly, and cāo practiced very diligently.

Wang Yu was about to enter the camp to observe, and by the way, Huang Zhong also strengthened his sense of belonging, but when he heard his name called behind him, he turned his head and found that it was a scribe dressed as a scribe, with two entourage, chasing after him breathlessly.

Seeing that Wang Yu turned his head, his tone and expression became more and more enthusiastic, and he chased after him in a few steps, and said respectfully: "General Pengju, since you have arrived in Wancheng, why don't you know how to meet your brother in advance, so that you can let your brother go out of the city to greet him?" You don't know, during this time, my brother is also looking forward to you, looking forward to it, and it is difficult to sleep. ”

"Respect is ......"

"Look at my xìng, but I forgot that General Pengju has never seen Zaixia," he dressed neatly and said solemnly: "In Xia Yuan Yin, the word is inherited, and my brother Yuan Highway ...... Yinjiu Yangpeng raised the name of the general, and now he finally saw it, and he was overjoyed. ”

"It turned out to be a stepbrother," Yuan Shu's younger brother came to make peace when he heard about Chengxi? Wang Yu's heart moved slightly, and he said quietly: "Yu came back in a hurry, and he didn't have time to bathe and change clothes, so he didn't rush to visit, thinking about taking his family to walk around the city first to see how the situation was under the rule of the highway general, but he neglected the highway general, ashamed, ashamed." ”

"What did General Pengju say? My brother has already explained, and in the realm under my brother's rule, what you said is the same as what he said! Yuan Yin sighed: "Don't blame Yin for being too talkative, but, over the years, I have never seen my brother respect anyone so much, based on this alone, Yin knows that there is a legend about the general, and it is really true." ”

Although they are of the same clan, this Yuan Yin is completely different from the Yuan family members that Wang Yu has seen, this one is very good at talking, and he does not have the sense of superiority that the family has from his bones, but he is like a philistine businessman, although he knows that he is flattering, but he can't have disgust.

"When my brother heard about the return of the general's tiger, he was overjoyed, he was bathing and changing clothes, and he also ordered the house to prepare a reception banquet, Yin came here to invite the general to the banquet, and the brother had something important to discuss with the general, please don't shirk the general."

"Something important?"

Yuan Yin hesitated for a moment, and then replied: "It's about arming and attacking Yuzhou, and it's about the situation in Jingzhou......"

"Arming? Against whom? Do you want to enter Yuzhou now? What happened to Jingzhou? Wang Yu was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't know which play Yuan Shu was doing.

Yuan Yin rubbed his hands, looking very embarrassed: "I don't know the specific situation, Yin doesn't know, why don't you discuss it with your brother and the gentlemen at the general's banquet?" ”

"It's fine." Wang Yu heard a sensitive word again, but when he saw Yuan Yin's appearance, he didn't have the heart to squeeze it a little bit like squeezing toothpaste, anyway, at night, the truth would be revealed.

He asked casually: "Does Brother Highway already know about the affairs in the west of the city?" ”

As soon as he killed Sun Jian's subordinates, Yuan Shu set up a banquet to invite, although Wang Yu didn't think that Yuan Shukeng himself had any benefit, but in line with the principle of being careful and not making a big mistake, it was better to test the temptation first.

"West of the city?" Yuan Yin looked dazed, "Did General Sun have an accident?" Or ......"

His face suddenly became solemn, waved his hand to the two entourages, let the two in, and said in a low voice: "General Pengju, General Sun's affection is a little ...... If there is any offense, I hope you will see it in the face of the highway general, and bear with me. ”

"Since he is a subordinate of the highway general, he will not care too much." Wang Yu said tentatively.

"This ......" Yuan Yin's god became more and more embarrassed, and he said in a slurred voice: "General Pengju, you also know that my brother's speech is sometimes a little exaggerated, General Sun and our army are actually ......."

After listening to it for a long time, Wang Yu finally understood, Yuan Shu said in the coalition camp that there was a tiger general Sun Wentai under his command, it was pure bragging, in fact, the relationship between Yuan Shu and Sun Jian was an ally that used each other, and it was closer than his own relationship with Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu left Luoyang after Yuan Shao, when Dong Zhuo had already discovered the changes of the Kwantung princes, but he had not given up the Huairou policy, so he secretly sealed Yuan Shu as a general and seized his military power. Yuan Shu is not very bold, and he is also familiar with the methods of officialdom, so he was so frightened by Dong Zhuo that he ran away.

When he ran to Nanyang, he only had some entourage around him, and the commander of the light pole was one, and he was not a prince at all.

As a result, at this time, Sun Jian went north from Changsha, and I don't know if he wanted to take the opportunity to capture Jingzhou, or what, anyway, he killed all the way.

However, the effect of his attack was average, although he successfully booby-trapped Wang Rui, the assassin of Jingzhou, but the two most important cities in Nanjun, Jiangling and Xiangyang, did not take it, but cheapened Liu Biao, who had just arrived from Luoyang, and finally only got some grain and grass from Liu Biao.

When he arrived in Nanyang, he killed Zhang Shi again, pretended to be too guarded, and issued orders to the counties under his jurisdiction to collect grain, grass, soldiers and horses, but he didn't buy his account, and he made him look like a robber, and he was not recruited than the Yellow Turban Army.

Then, it was the fateful meeting of Yuan Shu and Sun Jian.

Yuan Shu has no soldiers, no generals and no territory, but he has a family background, and after finding that Sun Jian was at a loss, he ascended to the top and shouted, and the Quartet responded! Not only did the counties of Nanyang change their flags, but even Liu Xiang, the Taishou of Jiangxia and Cao Yin, the Taishou of Wuling, all sent envoys to visit to express their obedience.

As a result, Yuan Shu completed a gorgeous transformation, from a bare-rod commander to a pivotal prince.

This effect can be achieved, of course, because of Yuan Shu's posture, and at the same time, Sun Jian's deterrence is also an important reason. If Sun Jian hadn't killed Zhang Shi, no matter how good Yuan Shu's family background was, it would be impossible for his protégé to give up his position for him to sit.

At that time, Yuan Shu and Sun Jian's forces occupied almost the entire territory of Jingzhou, and among the seven counties, only Nanjun was still outside. If it weren't for Liu Biao's name as a clan, the situation of King Qin at that time was also very good, and maybe Yuan Shu would attack Nanjun first.

After listening to Yuan Yin's explanation, Wang Yu understood why there was no Liu Biao among the princes of the Eighteen Roads, when the alliance was established, Liu Biao was not a prince at all, and the only territory was also precarious, so it depended on Yuan Shu and Sun Jian's faces.

In this case, how dare he leave Xiangyang and go to Nanyang to die?

The cooperation between Sun Jian and Yuan Shu is a helpless move, he is in front of the bad one, Yuan Shu does not have much capital, and he still has a good reputation, in addition to occupying the initiative, this cooperation is absolutely unfair to Sun Jian.

But there is no way, on his own, no matter how strong the force is, he can't get Jingzhou, in this era, there is no family background, there is no reputation of Xuanhe, do you want to be dominant? It's impossible, Sun Jian can only endure Yuan Shu's bad temper and continue to fulfill this unfair covenant.

However, if you were to say to Sun Jian that he was Yuan Shu's subordinate, he would also turn his face, so Yuan Yin told Wang Yu about this.

The implication of his words was very clear, if Sun Jian and Wang Yu clashed, it would be difficult for Yuan Shu to do it, because both sides were allies, and he couldn't hold it down.

And Sun Jian doesn't seem to think very highly of Wang Yu, there is no special reason, it is nothing more than the result of the rejection of the same kind.

If Wang Yu doesn't come, Yuan Shu can only rely on Sun Jian, and when Wang Yu comes, Sun Jian's status in the alliance will decline, and he naturally doesn't want to see Wang Yu.

After listening to Yuan Yin's explanation, Wang Yu added another one in his heart, Huang Zhong killed Sun Jian's entry and became his subordinate again, so it's no wonder that Sun Jian doesn't turn his face.

In addition, he also figured out one thing, that is, Sun Jian's soldiers and horses had little to do with Jiangdong.

Before Sun Jian went to Changsha to take up his post, he brought hundreds of Wu soldiers recruited from his hometown, and then successively attacked Ou Xing in Changsha, crossed the border to Lingling to pacify the Zhou Dynasty, and Guo Shi in Guiyang. recruited and surrendered the rebels, plus the county soldiers in Changsha, there were thousands of horses.

Later, Zhang Shi was killed in Nanyang, and most of the county soldiers were recruited into the army, so there was a fairly large army.

Of course, now this army has been wiped out in the eastern suburbs of Liang County. At present, Sun Jian and Yuan Shu are intensively recruiting soldiers and horses in order to regroup, and the potential of Nanyang has been almost tapped, so the two have turned their attention to Yuzhou.

In the end, Yuan Yin also revealed a little secret, when Yuan Shu just returned to Nanyang, Sun Jian beat the idea of Wang Yu's subordinates, and the two thousand Danyang soldiers made him very hot.

This army was sent by Tao Qian, and after receiving the troops, Wang Yu left, and his loyalty was very limited, so it is understandable that Sun Jian had this idea.

His attempt failed in the end, according to Yuan Yin's statement, Yuan Shu secretly helped a lot, but, according to Wang Yu's speculation, with the ability of the forbidden army, plus Jia Xu's old fox secretly staring, it is no wonder that Sun Jian can please him.

Yuan Yin's behavior made Wang Yu relax his mind, and it can be concluded that Yuan Shu did not want to see himself and Sun Jian maintain harmony, so as not to make a noise. If he really clashed with Sun Jian, Yuan Shu would sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

In a sense, this is a good thing, at least there is no need to worry about Yuan and Sun uniting to plot against themselves.

However, the big war is imminent, not to mention without Sun Jian's help, and you have to guard against the other party, the growth and decline of strength is even less optimistic.

The world is impermanent, and it is always impossible to achieve the desired situation.
