Cao Cao, who was far away in Yingchuan, didn't know about the battle outside Pingling City, and he only knew now that if he didn't come forward to mediate, he would probably be driven out of Yingchuan City by the Dingping Army because of the relationship between the Sun family and his son, and in the end he would be completely busy in vain, so after learning that the Dingping Army and the Sun family father and son were tense, Cao Cao hurriedly led his troops to the outside of the Taishou Mansion.

"Oh, what are you doing here?"

After seeing the tense two sides outside the Taishou Mansion, Cao Cao hurriedly dismounted and ran between the two armies, and bowed to Gao Shun before turning his head to look at Sun Jian.

Cao Cao is a captain of the five-rank cavalry at the moment, and his official rank is one order lower than Gao Shun, and when he sees Gao Shun who understands the rules, he naturally won't forget to salute, but he and Gao Shun are also seeing each other for the first time, and how do you know Gao Shun's official rank? It turned out that from the time Sun Ce led people to make trouble with the Dingping Army, Cao Cao sent people to keep an eye on him, otherwise he would not have rushed to the outside of the Taishou Mansion as soon as possible.

"Oh, Sun Xianling, how can you sit on a horse and talk to General Gao? Even in wartime, etiquette can't be abolished, right? ”

While speaking, Cao Cao squeezed his eyes at Sun Jian, meaning that he should recognize the situation clearly and not act impulsively.

Cao Cao deserves to be an old fox, as soon as he appeared on the scene, the focus of the contradiction was smallened, and he turned the original Sun Jian's faux pas to the war, as if it was because of the war that Sun Jian forgot to give a salute.

At this time, inside and outside Yingchuan City, the total strength of Sun Liu Cao's three families was only about 45,000 people, which was 10,000 people ambushed in the dense forest, and most of them were exhausted, and more importantly, Liu Bei was very cunning, he had not led troops into the city, so there were only Sun Jian and Cao Cao's men and horses in the city at this time, and the total was less than 30,000, and more importantly, as soon as the Dingping army entered the city, it occupied the city gates on all sides, if a conflict broke out between the two sides, Cao Cao knew that even if he and Sun Jian won, It must have been a pyrrhic victory, so he desperately didn't want a conflict between the two sides to break out right now.

Sun Jian is not stupid, he still has a certain understanding of the situation in front of him, Liu Bei has been holding his troops still, and has no intention of bringing troops into the city, although he has attracted Lu Bu to lead troops to guard, but the main force of the Dingping Army has been guarding against each other with his own side, before he also asked Sun Ce to come over to test it, it is because it is a temptation, Sun Jian did not let Sun Ce bring a blade, after all, the meaning of moving fists and feet is not the same as moving the guy, but I didn't expect Sun Ce to be held by Gao Shun as soon as he came up, and now that his son is in the hands of others, Sun Jian can't turn his face even if he wants to.

"Oops, I forgot too," pretending to pat his head, Sun Jian hurriedly dismounted, and then saluted Gao Shunshen: "I have seen General Gao in my humble position, and I hope that General Gao will not remember the villain and spare the crime of the child's collision." ”

When he saluted, Sun Jian's tone was very stiff, which showed how unwilling he was in his heart, but he couldn't help it, he had to bow his head under the eaves.

After generously accepting Sun Jian's salute, Gao Shun did not embarrass Sun Jian anymore, and directly waved his hand to let Sun Ce go.

"Bastard thing, I ......"

As soon as he was free, Sun Ceden was about to make another move with Gao Shun, but was stopped by Huang Gai, who hurried forward.

"Don't be impulsive, look around the eaves!"

After holding Sun Ce, Huang Gai whispered in a low voice, while signaling Sun Ce to look at the surrounding rooms, and Sun Ce disappeared without a trace when he saw the fire in his heart, it turned out that he didn't know when, the surrounding rooms were full of Dingping Army soldiers with bows and crossbows, at this time thousands of arrows were aimed at them, as long as they were not careful, the people on their side would definitely be shot into hedgehogs.

"Huh?"

Sun Ce's actions and words Gao Shun saw in his eyes and listened to his ears, so while Huang Gai pulled Sun Ce to whisper, Gao Shun also sneered and asked, "What?" Still not convinced? ”

Facing the thousands of sharp arrows glowing with cold light, Sun Ce had to calm down at this moment.

Suppressing his anger, Sun Ce gave a deep salute to Gao Shun, and said: "No, I don't dare to be humble, I just made a sudden rudeness in my humble position, and I hope the general will forgive me." ”

"Forgiveness?" Pretending to be surprised, his eyes widened, and Gao Shun asked Sun Ce: "General Ben asked you, what position are you now?" ”

"This..."After a slight hesitation, Sun Ce lowered his head and gritted his teeth and said, "The humble position is the captain of Xuyi Xian City Gate. ”

Listening to Sun Ce's words, Gao Shun and the deputy general Gan Mo both laughed.

Walking two steps in front of Sun Ce, Gan Mo sneered and said, "Return the captain of the city gate?" It's just a gatekeeper, right? When I saw my general, didn't you take your men and horses to kneel and salute, and let my general forgive my sins? Oh yes, and Captain Cao's men, didn't they pay tribute to my general? ”

The Han Dynasty was a semi-feudal and half-slave society, with a strict hierarchy, and half-clothed clothes like Sun Ce, when he saw a military general with rank like Gao Shun, he had to kneel and salute, otherwise it would be a big crime to kill his head, not only Sun Ce, but also the generals who belonged to the Sun family and the Cao family around him.

Sun Ce, who was choked by Gan Mo's words, his face turned green, but at this moment he didn't dare to disobey.

With resentment in his heart, Sun Ce beckoned his soldiers, and then slowly knelt down at Gao Shun's feet, and Cao Cao also motioned for his men to kneel down.

"I've seen the general."

"I've seen the general."

Like Sun Ce, the men and horses belonging to the Sun family, together with Cao Cao's men, all the cloth clothes who had no position, knelt down in front of Gao Shun, which made Cao Cao and Sun Jian's faces extremely ugly.

"Hmph, when I saw me, a waste who had to kneel under the Hou Ye's subordinates, he still dared to compete with my Hou Ye for a woman."

As if he wanted to completely anger Sun Ce, Gao Shun looked down at Sun Ce and kept sneering: "It's really self-defeating, General Ben really can't see it, how can a waste like you be a supreme minister?" However, my marquis is now a second-grade military marquis and a second-rank military general, and he is considered a very popular minister, so my marquis asked me to bring a message to you and your Sun family before I came, when the Yellow Turban Rebellion is settled, my marquis will inevitably be ranked first-class, and at that time, my marquis will be married, haha......"

Laughing unscrupulously, Gao Shun stepped into the Taishou Mansion, leaving behind the resentful but helpless Sun family father and son.

"Oh, that's right," before entering the gate of the Taishou Mansion, Gao Shun suddenly stopped again, and shouted with his back to Cao Cao and the Sun family's father and son: "Presumably Cao Duwei will go to report to General Huangfu and General Zhu, and I will not keep you." ”

After speaking, Gao Shun walked into the Taishou Mansion.

Gao Shun's last sentence was undoubtedly to Cao Cao and Sun Jian's eviction order, looking at the surroundings still did not withdraw, but more and more crossbowmen, Cao Cao and Sun Jian knew that they could not get the slightest benefit from staying, and they could die at any time, so they had to take their own people and withdraw from Yingchuan City in a gloomy manner.

When Cao Cao and Sun Jian retreated, Gao Shun in the Taishou Mansion was sighing with his deputy general Gan Mo.

Thinking back to what he had just looked, Gao Shun blushed and asked Gan Mo: "Gan Mo, did you just see if I had that kind of traitorous face?" ”

"This ......" Gan Mo did not answer immediately, because he did not dare to say the answer in his heart, and after thinking about it, he replied: "That...... It's not like a traitor, it's just a bit of a villain's ambition. ”

"Hey, I also have that feeling," sighed, Gao Shun, who was loyal and pure in nature, smiled bitterly: "I'm really not used to this kind of feeling, but there's no way, who told the Sun family father and son to dare to provoke the lord, so ......"

"Gao Shun!"

Before Gao Shun's words were finished, Lu Bu walked in from outside the door with a menacing attitude, and as soon as he entered, Lu Bu asked loudly: "Why don't you annihilate Cao Cao and Sun Jian in the city according to the plan?" ”

Annihilate Cao Cao and Sun Jian in the city? What does Lu Bu's words mean?
