After discussing the internal affairs, Wei Xuan naturally wanted to send someone to invite Sun Jian, Cao Cao, and Zhang Yang. Especially Sun Jian, in Taigu, he restrained a large number of Dong Zhuo's soldiers and horses, and without his threat, Dong Zhuo would not have returned to Chang'an so willingly.

Sun Jian actually received the news that Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were about to promote him as the ruling Jinwu, what he wanted was to follow Yuan Shao and other coalition forces all the way to Chang'an, so that the Son of Heaven would return to the east, and naturally he would have his reward, even if he didn't go back to Changsha, it didn't matter, now Chang'an can't go, and Changsha can't go back. was worried, Wei Xuan invited him to Luoyang, and he naturally came to Luoyang's mansion before Wei Xuan in Luoyang.

When Sun Jian confirmed from Wei Xuan again that Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu praised him and Wei Xuan almost at the same time, the anger in his heart broke out again: "Straight thief, I will lead the troops to Luyang, but I want to ask Yuan Highway, put aside the hatred of the family and the country, but concentrate on calculating what it means to wait for the coalition army." ”

Wei Xuan said with a smile: "Wentai, this machine is expected, if you really let you and I lead the troops to break through Chang'an and welcome back the Son of Heaven, where in this world is there anything about their Runan Yuan clan, please come just to ask you that the matter has been ???????????????? With this in mind, what are your plans for the future? ”

Sun Jian looked up at Wei Xuan with a blank face, what could he do, such as today in Chang'an, what is he doing in Luoyang, it is only right to find a way to return to Changsha, but is Changsha so easy to go back?

Seeing that he didn't speak, Wei Xuan continued to ask, "Wentai, what do you think of Liu Jingsheng?" ”

Sun Jian thought for a while and said: "The Han clan has a natural advantage in terms of identity, and Wen Taowu is also stronger than Yuan Highway, and he is a difficult opponent by many......"

He couldn't go on talking about it, the better Liu Biao was, the more difficult it would be for him to return to Changsha.

Wei Xuan nodded and said: "Now that Dong Zhuo has returned to Chang'an, the Kanto heroes will not be able to help him for a while, Yuan Benchu's brothers are bent on seizing the state and county, and the sour jujube everyone also has their own thoughts, and the chaos of the heroes is inevitable." Changsha is not easy to go back, my brother's family is in Yangzhou, why not go east and then go south? ”

Sun Jian looked at Wei Xuan with a little incomprehension, the eastward march is Yuzhou, Yuzhou Assassin Shi Kong Ling was robbed by him and Wei Xuan successively, and now it is not easy to pass by Yuzhou, not to mention, his home is in Fuchun, and all counties in Yangzhou have chiefs.

Wei Xuan knew that this Sun Jian would definitely not be able to figure it out for a while, so he said directly: "Dissatisfied with Wentai, Xuan has a spy next to Kong Ling, today came the news that Kong Ling heard that we defeated Dong Zhuo and didn't come over in one breath, and spit blood in his mouth, although it may not be fatal, but after all, he is sick, so Xuan wants his cousin to assassinate Yuzhou, what does my brother think?" ”

Sun Jian's eyes widened and his face was incredible, in the previous several confrontations between Wei Xuan and Kong Ling, almost everyone in the world thought that Wei Xuan and Yuan Shao and others were interested in Yuzhou, and even Kong Ling was afraid that he was in a hurry because he was worried that Wei Xuan would take advantage of the victory to seize Yuzhou.

Now that he heard something, Wei Xuan was ready to show him to assassinate Yuzhou, although Dong Zhuo would definitely not agree, but if Wei Xuan supported him, he would definitely be able to successfully drive Kong Ling away with his troops to Yuzhou. He has been struggling with how to return to Changsha these days, but Wei Xuan directly asked him not to go back to Changsha, if he can control Yuzhou, and then go south to try Yangzhou, of course, it is much better than crowding in Jingzhou to fight wits and courage with Yuan Shu and Liu Biao.

After the surprise, Sun Jian quickly calmed down, he knew that Wei Xuan could not let him occupy the entire Yuzhou, otherwise who would feed these soldiers and horses of Wei Xuan, Yingchuan would definitely continue to be Wei Xuan's base camp, and Liang Guo was the protégé of the Wei family, Wang Meng was in charge, even so Sun Jian felt that Wei Xuan was still very interesting, as long as he occupied Runan, he would occupy half of Yuzhou, and if he could control Peiguo again, it would occupy two-thirds. Whether it is population or strategic location, it is much stronger than Changsha.

However, Sun Jian also knew that he was a martial artist, and it would be better if he was appointed by the imperial court, even if the local scholars were not satisfied, he could barely suppress it, but now the rebels are expressing each other, and the restrictions on the local counties are very limited. After thinking about it, since it was Wei who announced the promotion, it was equivalent to having the endorsement of the Hedong Wei family, which was much better than leading the troops by himself.

And in order to crusade against Dong Zhuo before, he and Wei Xuan were allies, but now that this common goal is gone, Wei Xuan is taking the initiative to show goodwill and intends to continue to form an alliance, but there must be conditions attached.

So Sun Jian asked: "Zhongdao, if you can enter Yuzhou, Jian can be regarded as having a place to stay, but what should you do?" The next step is to insist on how to match ???????????????? Just say it! ”

Wei Xuan nodded: "The Xuanhui will raise Wentai as the captain of Sili and Henan Yin, and you will be the assassin of Yuzhou, and you don't have to go back to Changsha for Wentai." Later, the Xuanhui asked Wen Rong to lead the troops back to Yingchuan, and then Wentai could Xu You and Yang Hong fail to take up their posts and raise Wen Rong as the Taishou of Yingchuan. ”

Sun Jian waited for a while and saw that Wei Xuan was gone, and probably understood that Wei Xuan seemed to really want him to enter Yuzhou, but he still asked tentatively: "Zhongdao, did Chen Guo also send someone to take over?" ”

Wei Xuan shook his head: "Chen Guoxiang Luo Jun has a good name, and King Chen is also a martial artist, if Chen Guo is not satisfied, it will be difficult to take it for the time being, Wentai, you should first recover Runan, Peiguo and Lu Guo." Wentai and don't underestimate Yuzhou, not only the local wealthy family, but also the Yuan family in Runan, Yuan Benchu and Yuan Shu are plotting to seize Jizhou and Jingzhou, once they succeed, they will definitely target Yuzhou, so you and I are under a lot of pressure. ”

Sun Jian nodded, of course Sun Jian understood, the land of the four battles in Yuzhou, but it was much better than Changsha, which didn't know if he could go back. Immediately, Sun Jian thought of something and said: "Zhongdao, can you let Wen Rong take Taishi Ziyi with Jian to Runan and Peiguo for a walk?" ”

Wei Xuan smiled bitterly, knowing that Sun Jian was trying to fake the tiger, he heard that Tai Shi Ci's Mo sword soldiers and longbow soldiers were powerful, coupled with the identities of Wei Zheng and Tai Shi Ci, the scholars and heroes of Runan and Peiguo counties would think that Sun Jian and Wei Xuan were one.

However, thinking that Sun Jian's presence in Yuzhou would be of great benefit to his future strategic layout, he thought about it and Wei Xuan said: "Ziyi's battalion is insufficient, and it needs to be replenished, so let Wen Rong go with you, he is also a matter of duty as the Taishou of Yingchuan." ”

Sun Jian thought about it and didn't insist anymore, Wei Zheng is Wei Xuan's brother, and having him accompany Sun Jian to Yingchuan, Runan and Peiguo for a turn is equivalent to telling the world that Wei Xuan and Sun Jian are allied again.

Wei Xuan saw that Sun Jianbing had no other thoughts, so he asked: "Wentai, after driving Kong Ling away, do you plan to continue to stay in Peiguo or move to Runan?" ”

Sun Jian fell into contemplation when he heard this, because Wei Xuan's question contained a lot of information, and the current situation in Yuzhou was two counties and four countries, two counties of Yingchuan and Runan, and Peiguo, Chen, Liang and Lu gradually became smaller in order, among which Lu was sandwiched between Qingzhou, Yanzhou and Xuzhou, and there were only five counties and faced the threat of the Yellow Turban, so it was certainly not suitable for moving the state to where.

Peiguo and Yingchuan are about the same area, with a slightly smaller population, but they are in the easternmost part of Yuzhou and border Xuzhou and Yangzhou, and Cao Cao's hometown of the 18th Route Coalition Army is in Peiguo County. Now that the Eighteenth Route Coalition is about to be fully distributed, each going back to his own home to find his own mother, Cao Cao has recruited a large number of troops in Peiguo twice before, and now the supply of soldiers is insufficient.

Runan is the largest county in the Han Dynasty, with 37 counties, and the population of more than 2 million before the Yellow Turban Rebellion has now decreased by nearly half, but there are many remnants of the Yellow Turban entrenched in various places. Of course, Runan's disadvantage is that Runan's Yuan clan is in the county, and Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu will definitely not willingly let Sun Jian control Yuzhou.

In a short period of time, Sun Jian couldn't think of a good or bad one, since Wei Xuan asked, he simply asked Wei Xuan directly: "Zhongdao, what is your opinion?" ”

Wei Xuan said with a smile: "The open and secret battle between Yuan Shu and Liu Biao is already well known, Xuan looks at that Yuan Shu???????????????? It doesn't have to be Liu Jingsheng's opponent to spend three or five years. If you can't attack for a long time, Yuan Shu is very likely to plot against Yuzhou, so the focus of Wentai's defense after subduing Yuzhou must be Runan. ”

Sun Jian nodded: "Yingchuan has Wen Rong, our Liang army is in a corner, whether it is Yuan Highway or Liu Jingsheng winning, they dare not easily go east, if they lose both, hehe......"

Wei Xuan smiled bitterly, the militants are like this, but he still said: "I won't hide it from you, Xuan is still preparing to suck into Chang'an, so the focus in the next few years will be in the west." You and I are only supporting each other, and if there is really a war, we can't draw too many troops. Please understand this. ”

Sun Jian nodded: "After controlling the universe, Jian also wants to suck in, after all, the Son of Heaven is in Chang'an, and you and I, as human ministers, can't ignore it." When the time comes, if you are ready to call the doctor in advance, firmly follow the right. ”

What Sun Jian said was sincere, because as a martial artist, the best way to get the famous people and wealthy families in the jurisdiction to belong as soon as possible is to make meritorious contributions, especially respecting the king is the fastest way to make others accept him. Sun Jian was in Yuzhou, and there was only one shortcut left for the king.

However, Wei Xuan was worried that Sun Jian would not live to that day, but this kind of thing could not be said explicitly, but he just reminded: "Although brother once killed the Quartet in Jingnan, Liu Jingsheng has the Yangtze River natural danger, and it is not a last resort, Brother Wentai, it is better not to have friction with him." Yangzhou Zhou Ang and Lu Kang are both celebrities, and they are not good at fighting military and political affairs, so it is easier to take Yangzhou than Jingzhou. ”

Sun Jian was silent, according to his estimate, it will take a year to control the two large counties of Runan and Peiguo, and it is really hard to say what kind of happiness the world will be at that time, but he knows that what Wei Xuan said is also the truth, it is really for his good, and if he goes to Jingzhou first, it will inevitably compress Wei Xuan's development space, and then the allies may face competition or even become enemies.

After thinking about it, Sun Jian said: "Zhongdao and rest assured, I will seriously consider your opinion." In addition, even if he has the opportunity to take Jingzhou one day, the foolish brother will also follow Zhongdao's actions today, and at least divide Nanyang to Zhongdao you. ”
