Sun Jian has a violent temperament, and is extremely proud, even a little paranoid.

Once he recognizes something, it doesn't change.

His subordinates are well aware of this, so they have no intention of persuading.

To put it bluntly, it's just a face.

Don't look at Cao Cao's entry into the office earlier than Sun Jian, and his family background is also stronger than Sun Jian, but in terms of career, it is not as smooth as Sun Jian.

Since the Liangzhou Rebellion, Sun Jian can be said to have been smooth sailing.

When he was the Taishou of Changsha, even if Cao Cao achieved the position of captain of the military academy, he could not compare with Sun Jian.

The eighth lieutenant of the West Garden, named the emperor's pro-army, actually does not have much power.

is also an official of 2,000 stones, Sun Jian is a prince, and Cao Cao even became a staff member later.

Of course, if He Jin does not die, if the court is stable and excessive, and there is no rebellion of the ten permanent servants, Cao Cao can sooner or later shepherd one side and become a prince, and he can definitely overpower Sun Jian. It's a pity that He Jin died, and Cao Cao lost the opportunity.

Therefore, even if Cao Cao has a good reputation, he can only take refuge in Zhang Miao.

However, Sun Jian was able to raise troops to fight against Dong, and even killed an assassin and a Taishou, not only was he not guilty, but his power became stronger and stronger.

When the world is under great rule, the center is stronger than the locality.

But once it comes to the time of chaos, the ground is stronger than the center...... There is no other reason, who can control the soldiers and horses in the hands of the princes?

Now, Sun Jian has made up his mind, and the generals in the tent will no longer persuade him.

After everyone looked at each other, Cheng Pu stood up.

"Wentai, I have a plan, maybe I can succeed in one battle."

"I want to hear about it!"

"I don't know if Wentai has noticed recently, on the one hand, Yuan Highway urged us to seize the Yangren Pass, and on the other hand, he secretly withheld grain and grass. Before the public reply, he told me that the grain and grass on Yuan Highway was much slower than before, and he even used the excuse of delaying. ”

Sun Jian's face sank, "Of course I know about this."

If it weren't for the tight war here, I would have gone to him for comment. ”

"Actually, Wentai doesn't have to."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Although the brothers of the Yuan family are brothers, they are not harmonious.

Although Yuan Shao is the eldest son, he has no choice but to come out. And Yuan Highway is the son-in-law, but he can't be compared with Yuan Benchu's reputation, so he is very dissatisfied. He repeatedly urged Wentai to go to war this time, and even delayed the grain and grass, in fact, it was also related to Yuan Shao's previous message that if Wentai captured Yangren Pass, he would play the role of a general. I'm afraid that Yuan Shu is afraid of Wentai because of this. ”

Sun Jian, silent!

After a while, he suddenly waved his hand and said loudly: "I don't care what entanglements his Yuan family brothers have, I just want to win the Yangren Pass." ”

"Don't be in a hurry, listen to me."

Regarding Sun Jian's impatient attitude, Cheng Pu was surprisingly patient.

He didn't get angry, but smiled: "What I mean is to use this matter to set up a plan."

Wentai could order one person to go to Yangrenguan to surrender Huaxiong, saying that because of Yuan's delay, the grain and grass in the army were insufficient. Wentai, you didn't ask about it, so you beat him, so you couldn't bear the humiliation, so you defected. Then, after asking him to offer advice to Huaxiong, he led Huaxiong out of the customs to steal the camp and rob the village. Wentai can take the opportunity to set up an ambush, and when Hua Xiong arrives, he will kill him in one fell swoop.

As soon as Huaxiong dies, the Yang people will be self-defeating! ”

Before Cheng Pu's voice fell, Huang Gai couldn't help but say: "If you say that you will surrender, you will surrender, you say that Huaxiong, is a three-year-old child?" ”

"Therefore, you must be wronged by the person who surrendered."

"Huh?"

Huang Gai felt the full malice in Cheng Pu's words, and his heart suddenly chuckled.

He was about to ask, but heard Sun Jian stroking his palms and laughing.

"It's a wonderful plan for virtue, but it has to be wronged."

Huang Gai was a little stunned, looked at Cheng Pu suspiciously, and then looked at Sun Jian.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he pointed at Cheng Pu and smiled: "Cheng Demou, you want me to suffer a crime." ”

"Hahahaha, exactly."

Cheng Pu smiled, his face was solemn, "I know that if this is the case, I will be wronged."

But when you think about it, there is no one else in this army who is suitable except for the public reply. But I don't know, can the public be willing to risk his life? ”

Huang Gai is the grain supervisor under Sun Jian.

He said frankly: "It's okay to suffer from the flesh and skin.

It's just Cheng Demou, if you can't break through the level and behead that Huaxiong, don't blame me for making trouble for you afterwards. ”

After speaking, Huang Gai stepped forward, intervened and saluted Sun Jian: "Lord, this plan is feasible, Huang Gai is willing to deceive Huaxiong." ”

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Ten days have passed since the withdrawal to Xingyang.

Ding Chen's trapping camp also moved from Aocang to Xingyang City.

Don't underestimate this turn, in fact, it also represents Hua Xiong's recognition of Ding Chen to a certain extent.

Ding Chen was a little grateful to Jia Xu!

If it weren't for the death of Yang Aruo, if it wasn't for the loss of those eight hundred people, he probably wouldn't have entered Xingyang City smoothly.

From the words of the messenger sent by Hua Xiong, Ding Chen could hear that Hua Xiong was quite satisfied with him.

But if he really wins and overwhelms Hua Xiong, I don't know if Hua Xiong will be so polite to him.

O human heart!

On the one hand, Ding Chen was a little afraid of Jia Xu, but on the other hand, he had special admiration for Jia Xu.

It wasn't until six days later that when Li Ru's envoy came to Xingyang and announced Dong Zhuo's reward, Ding Chen completely obeyed Jia Xu.

Ride the Captain!

than two thousand stone for the position.

Compared with the previous 800 stone Nangong Guard Order, and Ding Chen's current 600 stone Sima of other departments, the cavalry captain also represents that he has officially entered Dong Zhuo's circle. As for the gold and brocade silk that Dong Zhuo rewarded him, except for a very small part for Sister Ah and Cao Ang, the rest were distributed to the trappers as a reward for their fighting.

If you want a horse to run fast, you have to feed it.

Sure enough, after the trapper got those rewards, he respected Ding Chen even more.

"If you return victorious, maybe people will think that Cao Cao and you have a premeditated plan.

Now, for the best. You have to expose your shortcomings before you can further keep your sister safe. ”

Jia Xu said with a smile, and there was a smug in his words.

And Ding Chen glanced at him, and said expressionlessly: "Actually, it doesn't matter what the reward is, you know, I will leave sooner or later." ”

"I know, but I also know that you're proud right now."

Ding Chen couldn't hold back anymore and laughed.

"Sir, you are always so straightforward, be careful that you have no friends in the future."

Jia Xu also smiled, but his smile was a little lonely, and he said softly: "I have no friends since a long time ago. ”

With that, he flicked the sleeves of his robe and walked out of the room with his hands behind his back.

What a man with a story!

However, Ding Chen can understand.

Like Jia Xu's talent, he can always gain insight into people's hearts, and how many people are willing to associate with him? Just imagine, as his friend, there is no secret in front of him, what kind of pressure is it? That was absolutely very painful!

"Sir, do you think we can win this battle?"

Jia Xu had already crossed the threshold with one foot, and when he heard Ding Chen's words, he stopped again and glanced back at Ding Chen.

"It is difficult to win with internal and external troubles.

But if you want to talk about a big defeat, you can't do it with the coalition princes.

In this battle, I say, the outcome is unpredictable...... Victory, perhaps defeat; Defeat, maybe victory, is not clear, it is not clear. ”

He said something about God, and he really told Ding Chen.

By the time Ding Chen reacted, Jia Xu had disappeared.

Pretend to be a ghost!

Ding Chen couldn't help but scold, and then shook his head and laughed again.

Jia Xu's words are very inexplicable, but if you think about it carefully, it seems to have a deep meaning.

It's just that this is not something that Ding Chen can understand and understand, and at the same time, he doesn't bother to delve into it, and everything will be clear when the time comes.

And just like that, a few more days passed.

Seeing that the weather was getting hotter and hotter, the battle situation suddenly calmed down.

News came from Tiger Prison Pass, and after Yuan Shao's strong attack was fruitless, the offensive was suspended; In the direction of sour jujube, a new force has been added.

Xuzhou assassin Shi Taoqian, after a period of observation, decided to raise troops against Dong.

He personally led an army of 30,000, with the general Cao Bao as the vanguard, and the troops arrived at the sour dates, which made the power of Zhang Miao's side skyrocket.

After losing Cao Cao, Zhang Miao added another arm.

He originally planned to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, but now he is determined to take Bao Xin as the vanguard and send the soldiers to the Yangrenguan.

As Jia Xu said, the princes of this coalition really have their own plans.

Long before Cao Cao's troops entered Hucheng Pavilion, Zhang Miao had the intention of attacking Yangren Pass.

But later, when Cao Cao was transferred away by Yuan Shao, Zhang Miao stopped his action and refused to send troops under the pretext of insufficient food and grass.

To put it bluntly, it is to preserve strength!

Even, he didn't plan to send troops from beginning to end, even Cao Cao's sneak attack on Hucheng Pavilion was mainly based on the soldiers of his hometown, supplemented by Bao Xin's 1,000 soldiers and horses. Now, his strength has increased, so he has other calculations.

Ding Chen was in Xingyang City and had been observing the movements of the coalition forces.

Now, as a cavalry captain, he does the work of a general.

This general Sima is like Hua Xiong's hand. As the Great Governor, Hua Xiong has two positions under him: General Sima is in charge of the military, and General Changshi is responsible for all affairs except the military.

Huaxiong is not in Xingyang now, it is equivalent to the entire Xingyang, which is controlled by General Changshi and General Sima.

The general's name is Li Su, and he is a fellow villager of Lu Bu.

However, he is a real Liangzhou department, as early as when Dong Zhuo was still the Taishou of Hedong, Li Su worked under Dong Zhuo's account. Now, Li Suguan worships General Hu Ben Zhonglang, supervises the affairs of the military envoys, leads the general Changshi, and is responsible for the affairs of Xingyang.

Just from his series of official positions, it can be seen that Li Su's power is greater than Ding Chen's.

However, he took great care of Ding Chen, as for the reason...... Li Su and Cao Cao also have some friendship!

So speaking of which, Li Su and Ding Chen are old acquaintances.

It is precisely for this reason that Ding Chen took over the Xingyang military quite smoothly and did not receive difficulties.

To some extent, it can be regarded as Cao Cao's advantage.

On this day, Ding Chen returned to his residence after inspecting the barracks.

He was about to rinse up, but Li Su hurriedly found him to go to the mansion.

As soon as he entered the gate of the mansion, he was pulled aside by Li Su, "Ziyang, something is wrong!" ”

Looking at Li Su's panicked look, Ding Chen was stunned and said in surprise: "Li Jun, what happened, you are so flustered?" ”

Li Su took a deep breath and calmed his mood.

He spoke again, no longer flustered.

But if you listen closely, you can still hear that his voice is a little shaky.

"Ziyang, the Metropolitan Governor...... He's dead! ”
