"Lord, aren't we going to congratulate Liu Cheng?"

Cheng Pu asked Sun Jian.

Sun Jian, whose head is wrapped in a red curtain, looks more vicissitudes than before, but his heroic spirit is not the same as it was back then.

Although he was a little tired, he was still the tiger who came out of Jiangdong.

"No, no."

Sun Jian shook his head and said, extremely firm.

"Dong Zhuo and Liu Cheng are all national thieves!

I will lose Huang Gong in the hands of Liu Cheng, this is the enmity of the heavens!

How could I send someone to his wedding for such a thief, who I would like to cut into a stick?

How can this kind of behavior be worthy of Huang Gongfu, and how can it be worthy of those soldiers who fought with me and died at the hands of Liu Thief?

There may be many benefits to going to Liu Cheng's wedding, but these benefits are not uncommon to me!

Others are afraid that they will offend that Liu Cheng thief because of this, and lead him to send troops to attack, but my Sun Jian is not afraid!

This kind of national thief, there is only the reason to kill them and then hurry up, where is the reason to go to hold stinky feet?

No matter what others do, I, Sun Jian, will never do this! ”

"Good! General Sun said it well!

It seems that such a national thief, there is only the truth of killing and then hurrying, where can he hold his stinky feet?!

Looking at it, in this vast area of Kanto, in addition to General Sun, Yuan Shao, Liu Biao and others are all soft eggs!

It's all cowardice!

Not a single man is a man! ”

As soon as Sun Jian's words fell, a person's voice rose in response.

Turning his head, he saw that the person who came was a young man of about twenty years old, who was very well-proportioned and sturdy.

This person is Cao Chun and Cao Zihe, who defected to Sun Jian for less than ten days.

"I didn't know the real heroes in the past, but today I see the eldest husband, Cao Chun Cao Zihe, meet the lord!

From now on, I am willing to saddle the horse with the lord and fight to the death!

To get rid of the thieves! ”

Cao Chun came to Sun Jian, said this, and knelt down on one knee in front of Sun Jian.

Calling Sun Jian the lord.

This is a confession of the Lord.

Sun Jian hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him up, and said solemnly: "Today's son is peaceful, and I will be more sure of getting rid of the national thieves in the future!"

Although it is difficult to get rid of national thieves, someone needs to do it after all, and I, Sun Jian, am one of them. ”

Cheng Pu on the side also spoke out loud, congratulating Sun Jian on winning a general, and releasing kindness to Cao Chun.

Cao Chun's ability, Sun Jian Chengpu has already preliminarily experienced it, he is a kung fu body, extremely skilled, and he is a person who really has the ability.

Let him lead the troops, the soldiers are only in the hands of a few days, compared to before, it is already different.

is a general.

What's even more rare is that this person is still Cao Mengde's brother, and he has an enmity with Liu Cheng's thief.

and yourself are naturally all the way.

At this time, Cao Chun knelt down directly on one knee and called him the lord, how could he not make Sun Jian happy?

……

"What's the next step for the lord?

Isn't it just that he is going to stay under Yuan Shu and attack Liu Biao here for Yuan Shu? ”

In the evening, after Sun Jian called someone close to him and held a banquet with Cao Chun, Cao Chun, who was left alone by Sun Jian, talked to Sun Jian for a while, and then looked at Sun Jian and said like this.

Sun Jian looked at Cao Chun and said: "I have soldiers and no food, Yuzhou has been broken here, and if you want to get too much grain and grass here, you can't do it, so you can only fight hard......"

Cao Chun said: "Yuan Shu, this person, has no great ambitions, and has the name of the fourth and third princes, which is a big thing."

The lord is talented and brave, and Yuan Shu, who has been following him for a long time, is not a way.

Today, Yuan Shu can supply grain to the lord, but tomorrow he can not supply grain and grass to the lord......"

Sun Jian looked at Cao Chun and said, "What strategy does Zihe have to teach me?" ”

Cao Chun said: "Since the lord asks, the subordinates will say some wild words."

A hero like the lord has to be subject to an incompetent person like Yuan Shu, why not?

Not only is the lord's reputation not as good as Yuan Shu, and his family background is not as good as Yuan Shu, but more importantly, the lord has no place where he really belongs!

All the places in his hands now are places of war, which have long been destroyed, and they are still connected with Yuan Shao, Liu Biao and many others, and they belong to the land of four wars.

It's useless to come to such a place, and it takes a lot of energy to defend.

Limit you to the Lord here.

It has seriously affected your play.

In that case, why didn't the lord abandon it and lead his troops to another place? ”

"Where are you going?"

Sun Jian looked at Cao Chun with burning eyes and asked.

Cao Chun said: "The lord is from Wu County, since this is the case, why don't you lead the soldiers and horses back to your hometown?"

The land of Jiangdong is wide enough, and it is blocked by the Yangtze River, and the land of Jiangdong is rich, with a large number of people and fields, and the output is rich.

In the land of Koto, are there any too powerful people who have a foothold there?

Isn't this a place that is naturally prepared for the Lord?

After the lord got Jiangdong, the grain, grass, and soldiers were all solved, so why do you still need to be controlled by others here and rely on people? ”

Sun Jian's eyes became brighter, and he looked at Cao Chun and said: "Zi and this words are secretly in line with me, in fact, I have long had the idea of returning to Jiangdong.

It's just that once I leave here and want to come back, it's not something that can be done in a year or two, and it's too different from my idea of wanting to get rid of the national thieves.

I've been struggling with this for a long time, so I've never left. ”

Cao Chun took a sip of wine and said, "The lord is right to have this idea, and his subordinates also have such entanglements.

It's just that now the subordinates have figured it out.

Liu Cheng is a thief, he has grown up, and it is not easy to kill him.

If you want to kill it, you need to develop yourself.

It's useless to be anxious about this matter.

You can only take your time.

If you are too anxious, it is easy to use yourself as a stepping stone, and let yourself become the credit of Liu Cheng's thief, so as to lose the possibility of revenge.

Some things must be broken when they are broken, and they need to endure for a while.

Otherwise, you will be affected by it.

The lord crossed Jiangdong, not that he would not take revenge and eliminate thieves for the country.

Rather, some adjustments are made according to the situation.

Lord, if you say something bad, you can't learn from King Xiang and refuse to cross Jiangdong!

After Jiangdong, according to the ability of the lord, it is certain to make a comeback! ”

When Sun Jian heard this, his heart was greatly touched.

He got up and poured a glass of wine with his own hands, holding it for Cao Chun with both hands.

Cao Chun excused himself, but Sun Jian did not allow it, and said in his mouth: "This cup of wine, the son and you can afford it!"

If it weren't for Zihe's words, I would continue to be trapped by these doubts and continue to do things that don't make sense here!

Zihe, how nice it would have been if you had come earlier! ”

Cao Chun smiled bitterly and said, "Don't tell the lord, my subordinates have only recently figured out this matter." ”

As he spoke, he took Sun Jian's drink, raised his neck and drank it.

Then he poured a cup for Sun Jian, and said loudly: "Lord, I salute you, you are a true hero, different from these vulgar people."

This is the return of the tiger to the mountain, and the dragon to the sea! ”

When Sun Jian heard this, he couldn't help laughing, reached out to take the wine in Cao Chun's hand, raised his neck and drank it all.

Then he pulled out the knife in his hand with his backhand and slashed down fiercely!

"Bang!"

A sound sounded, and a powerful knife slashed the table, and the corner of the table was directly cut off by this knife!

After slashing off the corner of the table, Sun Jian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, only to feel that he had been depressed for many days had been swept away, and his whole body was happy!

……

That night, Sun Jian left Cao Chun behind and did not let Cao Chun leave.

The two talked about it all night, but they felt that they hated to see each other late.

In the afternoon of the next day, Sun Jian gathered the main personnel of his subordinates, including Zu Mao, Cheng Pu, Han Dang and others, among these people, including Cao Chun.

Capable people can quickly get ahead anywhere.

Cao Chun has been here for less than ten days, and he has already become Sun Jian's confidant, and he has obtained a high status here.

Sun Jian summoned these generals, announced to them that they had gone to Jiangdong, and said that they would attack Jiangxia.

"My lord, since I have decided to go to Jiangdong, my subordinates feel that it is better not to make any extraneous branches, and go directly to Jiangdong from other places."

After Cheng Pu learned about Sun Jian's intentions, he thought about it and tried to persuade him.

Sun Jian shook his head and said, "No, it is the smoothest and closest to go from Jiangxia to Jiangdong."

Because of my concerns, I have never taken Huang Zu seriously.

Now that I want to leave here and return to Jiangdong, I will solve Huang Zu if I say anything!

First, let the incompetent Huang Zu, as well as Liu Biao and the others take a good look, my Sun Wentai is not something they can provoke, let them and everyone in the world see the majesty of my Sun Jian.

Second, it can be regarded as having some explanation for Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu, although he was a little sorry for me before, and he just wanted to use me with my food and grass, he still gave me some help.

He is unkind, I can't be unjust, and I leave something with him before leaving, which can be regarded as the right thing for him.

If I don't destroy Huang Zu, according to his ability, I am afraid that after I leave, life will become sad.

Third, there is money and grain, there are soldiers, and ships in Jiangxia, which are all things we need.

The land of Jiangdong is full of water, and it is impossible to do it without enough ships in hand.

And when we came to Jiangdong, we wanted to hold Jiangdong in our hands and become our own dependence, so we would definitely not be able to bring the soldiers and horses over like this.

It needs to be shot with a knife and a shot.

Blades, food, and grass, these must be had.

Otherwise, after we cross Jiangdong, we don't get enough food and grass for a while, won't we be blind? ”

Sun Jian was here, looking at his generals and talking.

Say what he intends to do.

When he said something, his subordinates did not say any more.

On the one hand, it is because they feel that what their lord says is very true.

They knew their lord and their own combat power, and they never really took Huang Zu in their eyes.

On the other hand, they are well aware of their lord's temper, and in this situation, there is no possibility of changing it, but to act according to their lord's orders.

After this main strategy was set, Sun Jian began to formulate a strategy with his subordinates to attack Huangzu, take Jiangxia, and after taking a large amount of supplies from Jiangxia, he would go out of Jiangdong......

……

Three days later, Sun Jian and Sun Wentai, who had been fighting tepidly with Huang Zu here and often paddling, suddenly changed his normalcy.

His subordinate general Han Dang led his troops and horses and intensified his attack on Huang Zu.

Moreover, a lot of soldiers and horses were mobilized to fight Huang Zu.

This kind of behavior suddenly made Huang Zu feel a lot of pressure.

He also began to intensify the war and fought with Sun Jian here.

At the same time, Sun Jian led his main forces and horses to rush in the direction of Xiangyang.

After Huang Zu got the news, he was instantly anxious.

I didn't expect that Sun Jian, who had been fighting with him all the time, would suddenly turn to attack his lord!

It was just Sun Jian who went to attack, and Huang Zu was not very worried.

But now, his father-in-law has been fighting with Yuan Shu all the time.

Sun Jian had such an abnormal behavior at this time, he must have discussed it with Yuan Shu in advance!

If he doesn't take action on his side, he really lets Sun Jian get his wish, and his lord is afraid that there will be a big danger!

Liu Biao has great trust in Huang Zu.

As the saying goes, the one who repays the peach and the soldier dies for the confidant, at the critical moment, Huang Zu is also unambiguous, and he increases the investment of troops.

On the one hand, arrange people to resist the attacks of Sun Jian's generals, Han Dang and others, and on the other hand, gather the army, personally lead it, and make a detour to pursue Sun Jian......

In Huang Zu's impression, at this time, Sun Jian should go straight to Xiangyang, but he didn't go at this time, he took his soldiers and horses and ambushed him in a woodland.

The person who carried his banner, pretended to be him, and headed towards Xiangyang with a red curtain on his head was his general Zu Mao.

Huang Zu went out of Jiangxia and took a detour to save Xiangyang, and Sun Jian, who got the advice, said with a smile on his face: "This is called attacking the enemy and saving ......."

As he spoke, he quietly gave orders to his soldiers to get ready.

Gearing up to give Huang Zu a big surprise next......

……

Cao Ren looked a little distressed.

The roads into Guanzhong were all blocked by Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses, and it was not easy to enter Guanzhong.

He's been here for more than ten days, and he can't get in.

was about to take an adventure, but found that a large group of people had gathered again.

This seems to be a bit unusual.

There are more people gathered here in Tongguan than before, and their identities seem to be very unusual.

After some careful inquiry, he realized what was going on.

The thief Liu Cheng is going to marry Dong Zhuo's granddaughter, and everyone in the Kanto region has sent his men to Chang'an to congratulate!

Cao Ren's eyes were a little red.

Cursing at these people.

What they said in their mouths sounded good, what killed the thief Dong Zhuo, revived the Han Dynasty and the like.

Now that the thief Liu Cheng is going to marry the granddaughter of the thief Dong Zhuo, so many people have come at once, scrambling to congratulate him, which is really shameless than the other!

Cao Ren scolded like this in his heart, despising everyone in Kanto.

Then immediately let his subordinates dress up, make some of the original goods into gifts, and also raise the flag to celebrate Uncle Liu, and join the team to celebrate Uncle Liu's marriage......

Here in Tongguan, after waiting for three days with the gathered procession, the gate of Tongguan was opened, and Cao Ren and the others who were celebrating were allowed to enter.

However, they were not allowed to act on their own, but gathered together and were escorted by more than a thousand soldiers and horses towards Chang'an.

said that it was an escort, but in fact it was afraid that some of them would have bad intentions and take the opportunity to do things......

Cao Ren, who was under the guise of the envoy of Qian County, led people and mixed in the middle of the crowd, following those soldiers and horses.

After observation, he found that these soldiers and horses were indeed different from the rest of the men and horses he had seen.

surpassed many of the soldiers and horses he had seen before.

Not to mention how effective it is, just the discipline is amazing.

In his opinion, this is really a ban on orders.

And the army that can do this, in general, is not bad in combat.

When they walked some distance and got out of the confines of Tongguan, they were even more surprised to see the large green fields on both sides of the road, and the people who weeded and watered the wheat seedlings in the fields, or built canals in an orderly manner.

The military and civilians are close to each other, and in this era, it is extremely difficult to see.

One of the reasons why some places have been robbed and would rather resist than send soldiers and horses to quell the chaos is that after the soldiers have passed, the damage caused is often greater than that of bandits!

Not all soldiers and horses have such strong discipline, and not all armies are affectionately called people's soldiers.

Historically, the people's soldiers are really a miracle!

It truly explains what it means to be a family between the military and the people.

The soldiers and horses in Guanzhong are far inferior to the soldiers of later generations.

But even so, what they showed had already made Cao Ren, Yan Xiang, and Kuai Liang feel extremely surprised and shocked!

As far as the eye can see, it is a piece of prosperity, a piece of vitality, and a piece of stability and peace......

It's just that they have crossed a Tongguan that crosses there, and for them, it is like coming to another world.

A world far from the chaos......

……

"So many people are coming?

I didn't expect my Liu Cheng's wedding to be such a card. ”

On Liu Cheng's house, Liu Cheng listened to Lu Yang's report and couldn't help but smile on his face.

Yan Xiang, Kuai Liang, Sun Qian, Chen Deng, Gongsun Yue, Dong Zhao......

Behind this long list of historical names, what is represented is the vast majority of forces in the Han Empire in this era.

From the time he released the news of marriage to the marriage, there were only thirty-one days.

But in such a short period of time, so many people actually hurried over to attend his wedding with gifts.

The unsolicited kind.

The purpose of these people who came here is not simple, Liu Cheng knows this.

But this can still prove that now he, the pig-killing boy who walked out of Chenggao, has completely grown up and has become a hero of this era, and he has to take it seriously.

"The lord's prestige is growing, and these people dare not come."

Lu Yang answered with a smile and said to Liu Cheng.

Liu Cheng shook his head with a smile when he heard this: "It's not that I'm famous, it's that Mrs. Dong is famous, and a lady I married is the only granddaughter of Mrs. Dong." ”

When Lu Yang heard this, he nodded seriously and said, "Yes, it is Master Dong's prestige." ”

When Liu Cheng heard this, he couldn't help but smile when he saw Lu Yang like this.

"During this time, retreat harder, keep an eye on these people, you must be careful, don't make any mess.

It's a mess, and it's not good. ”

Liu Cheng explained to Lu Yang.

Lu Yang nodded and said, "Yes, I will definitely just keep an eye on it." ”

After that, Lu Yang opened his mouth and smiled again: "Lord, among these people, there is also an interesting person......

"Who?"

Liu Cheng asked.

"Zhang Ren."

Liu Cheng thought about it for a while, and there was no impression of this person in his mind.

"Who is this?"

Lu Yang smiled: "Cao Ren." ”

Zhang Ren and Liu Cheng don't know, but Cao Ren and Liu Cheng do.

Speaking of Cao Ren, Liu Cheng's head instantly became sober.

"You mean, Cao Ren changed his name to Zhang Ren, pretended to be the person who congratulated me, and came to Chang'an?"

Liu Cheng looked at Lu Yang and asked.

Lu Yang nodded: "The lord is right. ”

Liu Cheng opened his eyes, and in a daze, he killed Cao Cao at the beginning.

Although Cao Cao died, the brothers of the Xiahou family and the Cao family who became famous with Cao Cao in history are still alive.

Among the generation of the Cao family, it is really bright.

For these people, Liu Cheng did not dare to despise them.

It's just that at the beginning, he could only develop on his own first, and he didn't have the energy to pay attention to them.

After developing a similar one by himself, and Jinyiwei also secretly developed to a certain extent, Liu Chengcheng issued an order to Lu Yang, asking Lu Yang to arrange some manpower to find out the news of the Cao family and the Xiahou family.

It is also because of this that Lu Yang will know about this.

"What about the rest of the Cao family and the Xiahou family? What are you doing? ”

Lu Yang naturally knew that the rest of the Cao family's Xiahou family that his lord was talking about did not refer to all the people of the Cao family's Xiahou family, but only those few.

immediately said: "The news was only passed on today, saying that Xiahoudun took some people and went to Jibei Prime Minister Bao Xin."

Xiahou Yuan took some people to Liu Biao.

Cao Hong led people to defect to Yuan Shao.

Cao Chun led people to defect to Sun Jian. ”

After listening to Lu Yang's words, Liu Cheng was silent for a while, and sighed: "It still won't be possible without Cao Mengde, several people are rare talents, but there is no one who can carry the flag alone."

I thought that after Cao Mengde's death, with them here, I would still be able to make a lot of noise, but now it seems that I think a little too much.

As soon as Cao Mengde died, the stars scattered.

The times make heroes, and heroes make the times! ”

"My lord, you said that these people scattered and defected to different people, and in the future, the forces they defected to became hostile forces, will they fight when they encounter them?"

Liu Cheng thought about the performance of the Zhuge brothers, and said, "It's very likely."

These people are not brothers, they are just clan brothers, even if they agreed with each other when they left that they would not fight each other in the future, but after a long time, it will not be the same.

People's hearts will change, and the situation will change, and when the time comes, they will often be involuntarily ......"

Lu Yang nodded when he heard this, and didn't think much about this matter.

When the time comes, even if it is really going to fight, it doesn't matter what he does.

They will change, they will change, anyway, there will be no change between themselves and the lord.

Thinking like this in his heart, Lu Yang opened his mouth to ask Liu Cheng.

"Lord, what should Cao Ren do?"
