After that, ignoring Li Meng, he took the lead in riding his horse and shouted, "Let's go, let's reach the town in front before dark, or we will sleep in the wilderness." ”

At noon the next day, Sima Tong and his party returned to the Nanpi military camp smoothly, he told Sun Ming what had happened, and finally told Li Meng that he suspected him of defecting to the enemy.

provoked Sun Ming to laugh wildly, the kind that couldn't laugh even when he covered his stomach.

After laughing and playing, Sun Ming also got down to business: "So he Yuan Shu didn't plan to guard against me?" ”

Sima Tong pouted, "That's it, I have already convinced Yuan Shu that the lord has the heart to lean on his side, and he doesn't seem to think that the lord guild will attack him with all his might." ”

Sun Ming laughed ecstatically: "Ha! It's really interesting. ”

"Yuan Shao came to me to form an alliance because he wanted me to compete with Yuan Shu, so that he could sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman."

"I pretended to agree to Yuan Shao's alliance, but in fact I wanted to annex him and Yuan Shu."

"Now Yuan Shu believes that I am a friend and not an enemy, and he doesn't plan to defend against me, he wants to eat Yuan Shao and Han Fu first."

"I'll pretend to obey Yuan Shu, and wait for them to fight to the death, and then wait for the opportunity to make a move."

"It's really interesting who is the sandpiper and who is the fisherman."

Sun Ming picked up the wine glass and drank it all, Sima Tong also saw that he was in a good mood, but he still had to deal with the matter, "Lord, what should we do?" ”

"They fight the best, we don't move for the time being, the two sides fight remotely, often the first to strike is passive, now it's not the same as the yellow scarf at the beginning, the regular army is scattered with the guerrillas, it was much easier to fight at that time." Sun Ming played with his wine glass and walked to the sand table to stare at the situation of all parties.

"By the way, have you ever understood Yuan Yin?" Sun Ming turned his head and asked, this eldest son of the Yuan family seemed to have something to do.

Sima Tong followed behind him, and when he heard this name, his brows furrowed slightly, "I have had a few encounters before, but this person is not capable of being a little impatient, he is a mediocre talent, it stands to reason that he is the eldest son of Yuan Kui, and he is the most qualified to inherit the resources of the Yuan family in Jizhou." ”

"But now it's all his two brothers of the same clan who are in the lead, and he himself is willing to be Yuan Shu's next general."

Sun Ming smiled coldly and pointed to the small flag representing Guangchuan on the sand table, "Impossible, he Yuan Yin is by no means voluntarily obedient, in the past few days when you went to Wuyi, I sent someone to do intelligence, and this Yuan Yin has been secretly fighting for power with Yuan Shu." ”

He looked at the little flag and said with a wicked smile, "If I hook up the ambition in his heart, wouldn't someone consume his vitality for us?" ”

As soon as Sima Tong heard this, he understood in seconds, and laughed loudly: "The lord is a good plan, and he can disintegrate his interior without spending a single soldier, and he can go to Guangchuan to incite his emotions under the pretext of visiting his old friend." ”

Sun Ming turned around and replied with a smile, "No, I will come forward in person, if you want to hook us, you have to make him want to stop, Yada borrowed your name to invite Yuan Yin to Xiu County to drink, this place is located at the junction of the two counties, he Yuan Yin has no reason not to come." ”

"Let me Sun Ming use my own experience to teach him what domineering and ambition are."

After Sima Tong retreated, he wrote a handwritten letter for the herald to send to Guangchuan quickly, and it reached Yuan Yin's hands in less than a day.

And Yuan Yin was indeed as Sun Ming expected, he was depressed and drinking alone behind the county office, and the current person took Sima Tong's letter to him.

Yuan Yin didn't care too much, so he opened it casually and looked at it.

"Brother Yuan Yin is on top, brother Sima Yada just returned from Wuyi a few days ago, I heard that my brother is now the head of any county, I can't help but think of the scene when I was in Jingluo when the high-spirited heroes talked about the world, and now my brother and brother have their own ambitions and are separated from each other."

"Now my lord and Yuan Taishou have reached an alliance, you and I are allies in both armies, it is June, the yellow plum is ripe, the younger brother remembers the plum wine that he drank with his brother, and wants to talk about the original friendship, please be sure to appreciate the face, the younger brother will be in Xiuxian County on June 10 and wait."

Yuan Yin looked at the letter and threw it away, "Was it at the beginning?" I was a leader among my peers, but now I ......."

"Hey, the cynical Sima Yada climbed higher than me at the beginning, I remember that he was the official of Sun Thorn Shi, Cao was engaged in the military priesthood, wouldn't my little county commander still have to salute when he saw him?"

Yuan Yin thought for a while, picked up the pen in frustration, he only shirked his busy official duties and refused Sima Tong's invitation.

Who knew that his letter had just been written and had not yet been sent, and Sima Tong came with another letter, which contained two ripe plums and no words.

When Yuan Yin saw these two plums, his heart was also warm, and he smiled with satisfaction, "It's okay, it's okay for old friends to invite each other, anyway, there won't be any big mess in this little Guangchuan." ”

Then he tore up the written rejection letter, and wrote a letter of appointment to reply to Sima Tong on an improvised basis.

Naxiu County also belongs to Bohai County, although it is not within the scope of the down payment, but it is located at the junction of Bohai County and Qinghe County is a strategic point, and Yuan Shao does not want to give it first.

Sun Ming sent Yuan Shao's old officials to open the city gate, and then let Gongsun Zhong occupy the place without a single soldier, and Yuan Shao had no time to take care of it.

Three days later, on June 10, the third year of Zhongping, Yuan Yin appeared at the gate of Xiuxian County on time with dozens of people, and Sima Tong was waiting for him at the city gate early.

Sima Tong didn't rely on his high position to put on a score, and took the lead in giving Yuan Yin a salute, "It's been a long time, Brother Gongquan still hasn't seen the original style, hurry up and enter the city." ”

Yuan Yin also replied with a little restraint in the face of his enthusiasm, "Yada is now a high-ranking official, and he has won the trust of Sun Tingshi, how can he give me a salute?" ”

Sima Tong took his hand with a smile and said, "You and my brother don't have official positions, they only talk about friendship, and with the talent of the princess, follow in the footsteps of his Lingzun, and their achievements will definitely be higher than Tong in the future." ”

When Yuan Yin heard this, he pursed his lips slightly, and said with a perfunctory smile with a half-stiff face, "Then inherit my brother's good words, and wait for the highway to take the entire Jizhou, maybe Yin can also change to be too guarded." ”

Sima Tong also saw that his interest in this topic was not high, which could be regarded as confirming Sun Ming's conjecture from the side, and a group of more than 20 people went straight into the backyard of the county government.

As for why he didn't go to a private house, the main reason was to avoid suspicion.

Sima Tong took Yuan Yin to a small pavilion in the east courtyard with a familiar car, because there was no electricity and no lights at that time, and the larger houses would build multiple pavilions or something in the house, as their daily rest and reception of friends.

Sima Tong talked about the previous topics on the road, and when he talked about the past, Yuan Yin's face also showed a look of joy, after all, that was the most glorious moment of his life.

Relying on his father's relationship, he worshipped another third prince Zhang Wen as his mentor in Jingluo, thinking that he would be on the rise and have a great career.

Unexpectedly, the first party disaster brought down his father, and his mentor Zhang Wen was even sent to prison, and he was also affected to return to his hometown, and since then his sense of existence in the family has become lower and lower.
