Fa Zheng sighed: "The master of the history of the people said that he was young and promising, and he was a once-in-a-century hero, and when I saw it today, it was indeed so." ”

Chen Deng hurriedly said: "It is understandable that Fa Xiaozhi has this sigh, but it is a little later than me. As early as a year ago, when I met the sect leader for the first time, I was amazed that the sect leader was simply a dragon and phoenix among people, destined to soar into the sky. ”

"Hey, Yuanlong has won the award, I dare not be ashamed!"

Shi Xin behaved honestly and feared, and didn't dare to say anything. According to his inference, the reason why Chen Deng praised him so much, and even deliberately flattered him, may just want to test in front of his colleagues to see if he, the young lord, will get carried away because of his young ambition, so as to re-examine whether he should join.

In the history of his previous life, Chen Deng's wisdom was outstanding, leading Cao Cao to attack Lü Bu, resulting in Lü Bu's death; the military strategy was also very good, and Sun Ce of Jiangdong attacked twice, but he was repulsed; when he was too guarded for many years, he was even more handy in internal affairs, and the people's hearts were followed.

Generally speaking, in addition to charging into battle, Chen Deng is an all-round talent who can attack, retreat, and be of great use in peacetime.

Shi Xin behaved modestly, and the three of them saw it in their eyes and smiled in their hearts.

This lord is neither humble nor arrogant, not arrogant or impatient, and has a maturity that does not match his age, which is really good!

After some greetings, Shi Xin said, "What is the purpose of the three of you?"

Fa Zheng put away his smiling face, stood up respectfully, and bowed deeply: "I waited to come, hoping to welcome the history sect master into Xiapi and become the new master of Xuzhou." ”

"This ...... This ......"

Shi Xin feigned panic and looked around. Then he rubbed his hands and feet, not knowing what to do.

Fa Zheng and the others begged again and again, and Zhuge Liang and others also advised for a long time, so they reluctantly accepted.

The veteran Yan Yan said with a smile: "At the beginning, Xiaozhi was reluctant to go to Hebei with us, but after some twists and turns, we are still colleagues. ”

Fa Zheng blushed and sighed: "Uncle Liu Huang has already contacted me, and he didn't dare or forget, and he lived up to the high expectations of Sect Master Shi. ”

Shi Xin didn't care, and said "It's okay", for fear of Fa Zheng's embarrassment, he opened the topic and said: "If the two generals of Guan and Zhang can join our camp, they will definitely be strengthened, and they don't have to be afraid of Sima Yi in the future." ”

Watch the reaction of the three as they speak.

But everyone understands that after Shi Xin entered the city, it indirectly proved that Guan Yu lost at the hands of Shi Jun, which was an unacceptable fact for him who was arrogant.

And after getting Guan Yu, the rough Zhang Fei is no problem.

It was Zhuge Liang who provided a way to make everyone wake up like a dream, and all of them were good.

Within a month after Shi Xin besieged Xiapi, soldiers and horses outside Xiapi were frequently moved. Since Sima Yi had thrown an olive branch to himself, Shi Xin decided not to guard against him anymore and put most of the mobilized troops and horses on Yanzhou and Xuzhou.

During this time, Cao Cao was also recruiting troops everywhere, adding 30,000 more troops. Coupled with the original 50,000 troops in Yanzhou and a total of 20,000 troops in Yuzhou, Jingzhou, and Yangzhou, Cao Cao now has 100,000 soldiers and horses, which is about the same as Shi Xin's 130,000.

In fact, Cao Cao could not have imagined that things would go so smoothly, except for Yuzhou, which had been planned for a long time, Jingzhou and Yangzhou would be so weak.

This can only be blamed on Sun Quan and Liu Chan's attack on Qingzhou in a bit of a hurry, and at the same time, Cao Cao's strategic vision is very good, and the tactical arrangement is also very perfect.

Shi Xin's total strength was about 130,000, and Xuzhou originally had 70,000 people, and 20,000 were divided into Yanzhou, and the strength of the two states was basically the same. 10,000 were arranged in Yecheng, although it was expected that Sima Yi would not be embarrassed by himself for the time being, but the safety of Yecheng was related to the entire Hebei after all, and Shi Xin did not dare to take risks. With 10,000 troops stationed, the strategic depth is much more active.

Of the remaining 20,000 soldiers, 5,000 were in the North Sea, which was the foundation of Shi Xin, and although there would normally be no danger, they had to be guarded against; and 15,000 were scattered in various important cities in the five states, so that once there was a war, at least there was room for resistance, and the enemy would not be allowed to enter the hinterland at once.

On the third day after Sima Yi left, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu met with Xiao Qiao and Mrs. Sun. accompanied by Sun Ying, a great hero, as well as Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong, masters of internal affairs from Jiangdong.

This is all the horses that escaped from Shouchun. Coupled with Tai Shici, Lu Su, and the four veterans, the Sun family became homeless. There are not a few people, but there are no soldiers, no food, no wealth and no territory, and it is precisely in the situation of exhaustion.

When they learned that Sun Jian's body had been taken by Sima Yi and that it had been carried out at Sun Quan's behest, the Sun family became extremely indignant, and Mrs. Sun immediately announced that she would draw a line with Sun Quan and expel him from the Sun family forever.

Sun Ce naturally became the head of the Sun family.

In private, Zhou Yu once revealed to Sun Ce that if he still has the heart to fight for hegemony, he will always never give up and assist him to the end.

Sun Ce didn't speak at first. He thought of the bits and pieces since he escaped from Koto. Brothers kill each other, families are broken, and wives are separated. Micro book bar

The happiest period of time was when he served under Shi Xin's account. The generals got along well with each other, worked together, and were like brothers; Shi Xin was fair and generous, and sometimes meticulous, showing respect and love for the generals everywhere, and there was no lord at all.

When it comes to charging into battle, Sun Ce and Shi Xin may be able to compare, but when it comes to the talent of being the master, Sun Ce is ashamed of himself.

After waking up to this, he told Zhou Yu what he really thought.

Zhou Yu was silent. Sun Ce's idea is very clear, he wants to join Shi Xin's command. Zhou Yu once had the idea of retreating, but he was in his youth, full of ambition, and full of strategy, so he was really unwilling to be buried.

But once he joins Shi Xin, it also means that Sun Ce can only be his sworn brother in the future, and Shi Xin is his lord. There can only be one lord, and career and family affection must be clearly distinguished. This is also the reason why Zhou Yu and Sun Ce have always refused to be called "lord". If there is a contradiction between the two, Zhou Yu can only choose the lord, which is a tradition that has been handed down from ancient times.

The food of the king, the matter of loyalty!

Sun Ce smiled: "Gong Jin thinks too much, how can I, Sun Ce, be that repeated villain?" Thinking the same as you, I can only be loyal to one lord in my life." ”

After the two reached a consensus, they led everyone to find Shi Xin and immediately worshiped the lord.

Shi Xin waited too long for this day, excitedly helped everyone up, and gave Sun Ying a grateful look without opinion.

Sun Ying lowered her head, her heart surging fiercely. I finally returned to my own place, and I could finally serve the Lord in the open.

There's a hiccup in between.

The four veterans asked Sun Ce for his resignation on the grounds of advanced age. Sun Ce thought for a while and agreed. As soon as they were loyal to Sun Jian, they saw that the descendants of the Sun family worshiped others as their lords, and they felt a little uncomfortable in their hearts. What's more, Sun Ce and Sun Quan are in a state of fire and water, and they will meet one day, and they don't know who to help when the time comes.

Instead of being in a dilemma, it is better to retire early and see out of sight.

Shi Xin also understands the minds of the four people, even if the four old men reluctantly join him, although they will not rebel, they will not treat them wholeheartedly. Just let them go to Beibi Mountain to retire, so as to increase the conventional defense force of Beibi Mountain.

The four of them had already heard of the name of Beibi Mountain, so they naturally couldn't ask for it.

After receiving the generals of the Sun family, Shi Xin Xin gained an eighth-rank pulse master from Tai Shici, a seventh-rank peak of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, a seventh-class seventh-class leader from Lu Su, and two internal affairs masters such as Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong, and their strength increased greatly. Shi Xin smiled and held a banquet in the barracks, and the main and subordinate talked happily with each other, and the atmosphere was warm.

During the banquet, Zhang Meiniang went over to toast Sun Ce. After seeing Da Qiao next to him, he was shocked, and he was so much more than that. When he was young, Sun Ce pursued a trace of his superiority and became a heartfelt blessing to the two.

Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu looked at each other and smiled, the two peerless wise men in their previous lives were finally in the same camp, and once again activated the talent of "Momentary Yuliang".

Shi Jun soon pocketed the entire Xuzhou, and the strange thing is that Shi Xin always led 10,000 soldiers and horses to be stationed outside Xiapi City, and had no intention of entering the city at all.

Originally, with the promise of Fa Zheng and others, even Xu Shu personally invited him three times, and the rest of the people even met countless times, Shi Xin should have entered the city.

If you don't covet Xiapi, why do you take down the whole of Xuzhou? Isn't this very contrived?

But Shi Xin didn't care so much, he just didn't move. This is Zhuge Liang's strategy, and it is also the strategy of forcing Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to surrender.

Xiapi was surrounded by the army, and the people were terrified, in a dilemma, and soon complained. It is rumored that the reason why Shi Xin did not dare to come in and go down was because Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had not yet approved.

It is even rumored that after Shi Xin got Xuzhou, he treated the four states of Yanqing and Hebei equally, and everywhere he went, people and animals were harmless, the government was harmonious, and the people loved him.

The people of Xiapi have become very insecure and belonging, and they are at a loss.

What if Shi Xin maintains the status quo forever and even gives up Xiapi? Then won't we become ownerless and lonely souls, and lose our shelter? How can this be done, below Xuzhou is Cao Cao's Yangzhou.

Under this gradual panic, some people are ready to leave. And more people began to point the finger at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. At first, he wandered outside the house of the two people, and then shouted inside, and even gathered people to petition, of course, the means were very peaceful.

And joining Shi Xin is the trend of the times, and he is also the new master of Xuzhou in the future, and the people will certainly not provoke him.

This is not all spontaneous behavior, most of them are behind the scenes, and the initiators are probably Chen Deng and Mi Zhu, the two brothers.

Guan Yu's original intention was to wait for Zhang Fei to get better and leave Xiapi, find an opportunity to kill Sima Yi, and retire to the mountains and forests from then on. It doesn't matter if the people point the finger at themselves, as soon as they leave Xiapi, Shi Xin will automatically come in.

Unexpectedly, Shi Xin said again at this time: Liu Guan and Zhang The three brothers are the heroes he respects the most, and now that Liu Bei is dead, if Guan Yu and Zhang Fei do not agree with him to enter the city, they will not enter the city if they are killed. At most, tens of thousands of soldiers will be sent to defend Xiapi.

Naturally, he said "defending," but the people's understanding easily turned into "encirclement," and the resentment became even greater. Zhang Fei didn't care about anything, and Guan Yu carried the pressure alone.
