Chapter Ninety-Six: Benefit-sharing
Yuan Shao saw that the situation was uncontrollable, so he just took off the disguise on his body.
"I have no ill intentions, I am really your general's friend, if you take my talisman and go in to show him, he will naturally know that my identity cannot be exposed."
Yuan Shao said, took out his talisman from his cuff, handed it to Zhong Xi, he saw that there were more and more onlookers, and hurriedly brought the straw hat again.
Zhong Xi will take the talisman with suspicion: "You wait and watch them, if there is any change, correct the Fa on the spot." With that, he withdrew.
At this time, Sun Ming was drinking tea with his mother Li in the backyard, and Li also couldn't put down the tea that Sun Ming brought back from Bashu.
Zhong Xi walked up, "Boss, someone outside the house is looking for you, saying that he is your friend in Jizhou, and he gave him a talisman." ”
He handed over the talisman, Sun Ming looked at it and felt a pang in his heart, playing with the talisman, and quickly thought in his heart, "Isn't this Yuan Benchu who he refused to invite a few days ago, how did he chase here, this is not right." ”
Sun Ming raised his hand and asked, "How many people are outside the door?" Did he say anything? ”
Zhong Xi recalled the meeting, shook his head and said, "No, he didn't say anything, there were only four people, and they were wrapped in robes and straw hats, as if they were afraid of being recognized." ”
Sun Ming was seriously thinking about countermeasures, and when Li saw this, he asked worriedly, "If Junyi is not your friend, don't let him in." ”
Sun Ming was interrupted by Li's thoughts, and said to Li with a smile, "Mother, don't worry, I know this person, you are resting here, and the child will go and see." ”
As he spoke, he took Li Meng and Zhong Xi to the front door, and as soon as he walked to the door, he saw a tense scene: "This talisman is yours?" Take a look at your head. ”
Hearing Sun Ming's voice, Yuan Shao finally breathed a sigh of relief, and he took off his straw hat, "Brother Junyi, it's really not easy to see you." ”
Sun Ming saw that it was indeed Yuan Shao, and waved his hand to let the guards retreat, "Why did General Yuan come to me with this appearance?" No wonder my guards won't let you in. ”
Yuan Shao smiled bitterly, "Yuan has his own troubles, let's go in first." ”
"This Yuan Shao is too familiar, I met him once, why did he suddenly call me a word." Although Sun Ming was a little displeased, he didn't say anything.
He took him to the east courtyard, where he lived, and there was a pavilion in front of his house, in which a desk was placed.
Sun Ming sat down first and began to boil water to make tea.
Yuan Shao's entourage was arranged to wait in the main hall, and as soon as he entered the pavilion, he unloaded the camouflage items on his body, and complained as he moved, "It's not that Brother Junyi refuses to go to Chen Village to meet me, so I can only come like this." ”
Sun Ming was a little stunned and said, "It is clear that there are really difficult things to deal with, but what is the important thing that cannot be exchanged by letter, and General Yuan has to make a special trip?" ”
Li Meng behind him stared at Yuan Shao's every move with wide eyes.
Yuan Shaofu stepped forward and said, "I came here this time to negotiate with Brother Junyi, and it is a win-win situation for you and me." ”
After speaking, he looked at Li Meng and signaled Sun Ming to keep the matter confidential.
Sun Ming naturally understood what Yuan Shao meant, the movements of his hands did not stop, and he said to Li Meng, "You go to the main hall to entertain other guests, you are not needed here." ”
Li Meng immediately became anxious, "No, the owner, I don't think he looks like a good person, so let me stay here." ”
Hearing this, Yuan Shao smiled helplessly for a while, Sun Ming snorted coldly, and Li Meng lowered his head as if he had received a signal and left, but he didn't leave, hiding in the aisle and watching everything.
Sun Ming made a cup of tea for Yuan Shao, and said, "General Yuan, don't blame, Li Meng is such a person, dead tendons." ”
Yuan Shao also shook his head with a smile, "To tell the truth, Yuan is envious, which shows that Brother Junyi, you use people properly, and the generals under you are extremely loyal. ”
"You are sitting at home sipping tea, and someone is helping you build your territory, which really makes me envious, even a personal guard is so desperate."
"I can't compare to you, I finally won some cities, but I was forcibly asked for by my family, and now I can't give it, and I can't give it."
Yuan Shao's words were a bit explicit, Sun Ming didn't like to listen to them very much, although everyone did this, but it was still inappropriate to say it openly.
Sun Ming drank the tea by himself, "General Yuan, the tea I poured is not wine, you are a little drunk, every inch of the country belongs to the imperial court, how can you say anything about your own territory." ”
Yuan Shao also heard Sun Ming's displeasure, and straightened his expression: "Today, Yuan is a sincere heart to find the general, please don't be suspicious." ”
"Yuan wants to conspire with the general in the world, and now the Han family has become decaying and collapsing, and everyone in the world knows that the Taishou and Thorn Shi are skipping the central control to grab the territory, which is already a clear thing."
Sun Ming understood it, "It turns out that this Yuan Shao is looking for himself to form an alliance, but after thinking about it, this Yuan Shao would rather take the risk of pretending to come to me, there must be nothing good." ”
"Yuan Shao's situation also knows a little bit, he was suppressed a little miserably by their own family in Jizhou, but it's none of his business, and he doesn't need him."
After taking a sip of tea, Sun Ming sorted out his thoughts, "General Yuan is really drunk, I, Sun Ming, am only dedicated to defending the territory of the Han Dynasty and resisting foreign enemies, and I don't think about these messy struggles for power." ”
"I wanted to entertain the general well, but if General Yuan still talks such nonsense, then I will not accompany him." With that, he got up and left.
Yuan Shao also got up and said, "If Yuan sends a county to General Sun for nothing, I don't know if we can continue to talk about it." ”
Sun Ming turned his head and looked at Yuan Shao for two seconds, and then sat down again, "Brother Benchu, sit down and try my heart-brewed tea." ”
Sun Ming's attitude changed very quickly, he was still talking about Yuan Shao's self-familiarity a second ago, and now he has also changed in seconds.
This is the reality, and only when there are interests can there be heart-to-heart conversations.
Yuan Shao sat down confidently, "I won't take a false face to deal with people, I came here today to tell Brother Junyi some truth." ”
"When I met Brother Junyi in Jingluo, I knew that the general was not a fish in a shallow pond, and he would definitely ride the clouds and atomize the dragon one day."
Sun Ming saw that he was indeed more 'sincere', and he specially came to Zhuoxian, so he no longer hid it.
Following his words, he also recalled the first time they met, "Didn't Brother Benchu get quite close to that Gongsun Zan at that time, why do you think of ally with Ming now?" ”
Yuan Shao waved his hand with a wry smile, "Shao is also forced to be helpless, and the friendship with Gongsun Zan is decided by the elder head of our Yuan family, even if Shao doesn't have this intention, he can't shake the will of his family." ”
"Presumably the general can understand Shao's distress, after all, you and I are both supporters, and many times we can't help ourselves."
The situation of Yuan Shao and Sun Ming was quite similar two years ago, both capable children were suppressed by their own families.
Sun Ming nodded, "Yes, if it weren't for the Yellow Turban Rebellion last time, the prince would have looked up to me Sun Ming, I'm afraid I would still be pressed by my own family, and I would have no future." ”
