"This person's name is Xun Xiao," Sun Qian said with squinted eyes, his expression seemed a little hesitant.

"Xun Xiao? Never heard of it. ”

Liu Bei naturally muttered to himself, "Oh! Gongyu said...... Could it be that you caught Zilong? ”

"Yes, the people of the Xun family are also Cao Cao's military advisors."

That's all Sun Qian knows, and he doesn't know more information, but there are still some legends about this person.

Mainly, it has been tepid before and has never held any important position.

The only thing that can be speculated is that the matter of entering Xuzhou to save the old lady of the Cao family may be related to him.

"Really, young hero."

Such people, Liu Bei naturally sighed.

The battle with Zilong that day was the same, how similar the tactics of the two were, and it could be seen that the two had an old relationship, maybe they had been together before.

After all, when I was in Youzhou, I once heard Zhao Yun mention that after learning art, he had the experience of being a ranger in the northern frontier and defeating thieves.

At that time, they had a group of people, and Zhao Yun was responsible for teaching his marksmanship.

The rest of the people also taught their own skills, but now their gang has long since disbanded, and I don't know where they have gone.

"This kind of talent, but it can't be used by me, the Xun family is really too dependent on Cao Cao."

"The four elders in the Yingshui area, I am grateful in my heart, and I hope that one person will be attached, but it's a pity that they don't look down on me Liu Bei."

When he said this, although his tone was relaxed, it sounded a little bleak to the ears of others.

Sun Qian was silent, but thought more.

Compared with many princes, this lord does have a little less background identity.

However, his descendants of the Han Emperor, his clan body, coupled with his benevolent and moral character that has never changed in the past, are his greatest advantages.

Such a person has foresight and knows how to judge the situation, and is no worse than Cao, Yuan and other heroes in the world.

"My lord."

Sun Qian changed his words for the first time.

Maybe he felt it was time to say it.

Indeed, when he called the word lord, Liu Bei's figure suddenly paused.

The expression should be so excited that his eyes trembled a little, and he couldn't hold the wine bowl in his hand, and spilled a little.

"I believe that all the lords of the world are for profit, and only the lord is benevolent and loyal, and the Han family is the banner."

"And with such a will, as long as there is still an inch of Han land in the land of China, there will definitely be a place for the lord and us, and I am willing to sell the family property, follow the lord, and recruit troops."

"I am also willing to belong to the lord, and I am willing to drive the lord before and after."

"In the future, although there is no talent in the heavens and latitudes, no ghosts and gods, and no good at leading troops to set up formations, but he asks himself to have the talent of hanging rivers, the practical learning, and the wisdom of people."

These words made several people in the room fall silent.

For many years, I have not heard anyone say such heartfelt words.

Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the three brothers have been fighting together for many years, at that time it was just for the people to get rid of thieves and relieve disasters, govern one side, and gain fame and merit.

But I never thought about how to build a great work.

But since the alliance, I saw that the princes of all parties, even Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zhan, Zhang Yang, and Tao Qian, were just trying to get a place, and they didn't want to really welcome back the Son of Heaven.

Since then, Liu Bei has known that it is difficult for them to achieve great things, and even if there is a prince who can rule the broken mountains and rivers in the end, he will no longer be the big man.

In this case, why not be the ruler yourself and set things right in the troubled times?

In fact, after the alliance, many people saw clearly what the princes who supported the army at that time were thinking, probably fighting for territory.

Instead of really getting together to join the alliance and support the Han, from that moment on, in frustration, Dong Zhuo was driven out of the hinterland of the Central Plains, and the era of secession began.

It was also from that moment that Liu Bei sent people under the fence and wandered away.

It's been a long time since I've heard Sun Qian's words again.

In his opinion, the scholars will not follow, but the Shu people can only look at the fortune, and they don't know when they will meet one, but today's Sun Qian's words moved Liu Bei.

What is really touching is that I am dedicated to the Han and establish myself with benevolence and righteousness, and there will be people who will appreciate and follow him after all.

Sun Qian is just one of them.

Most importantly, he is willing.

If Zilong can come back, he will definitely come back to me in the future.

"Good!"

Liu Bei sat up upright, leveled the wine in his hand to his chest, couldn't hide his excitement, and stared at Sun Gan's eyes with a somewhat trembling voice, "That is the case, from now on, I will not fail you." ”

"Lord," Sun Gan's face was cold, he bowed again, and only after getting up did he reach out and take a bowl of wine handed by Liu Bei.

……

Meanwhile.

In the city of Xiapi.

Inside the courtyard of Chen's mansion.

In the dim light of the candlelight, the Chen father and son stood opposite each other.

At this time, Chen Deng's expression was very bitter, but he still remained calm.

"Father, my son and the drama are connected, and I haven't left a single letter."

"But when I went to the letter, I heard that it was picked up by Lieutenant Colonel Lu Bujun."

"Yes, although the lord did not attack us, the rest of the people may not be, Sun Qian, Mi Zhu and others, or Cao Bao and others, will not show mercy."

"And ......"

Chen Deng smiled bitterly: "Lu Bu is the main one, and he will lead Xuzhou to fight against Cao's army, I am afraid that he will use this to blackmail and let the Chen family be his internal affairs." ”

"If that were the case, the equilibrium would cease to exist."

"Hmmm......"

Opposite him was Chen Gui, who was dressed in plain clothes.

At this time, Chen Gui's spine was already a little bent, he was hunched back, his shoulders were slightly collapsed, and his body looked thin, but his eyes were still quite sharp and sharp.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Yuan Long, do you know why Lu Bu's sergeant got your letter?" ”

"Father means that Cao Cao did it on purpose?"

"Hmm."

Chen Gui nodded firmly.

"He doesn't attack, although he has concerns about food and grass, but is it really just because of this?" Chen Gui smiled smugly, "That's because he doesn't want to sacrifice too much." ”

"In any siege battle, if it is defended to the death, the besieging side will suffer countless casualties, and the lives will be piled up first."

"Even if you are good at fighting, you don't want to fight and attack the city all the time, the art of war is cloudy, and it is the reason why you go to war and strategize."

"He's waiting for us to make a meritorious service."

Chen Gui's words made Chen Deng fall into calm.

He had thought about it, but he was still young, and he would not judge many things immediately.

"Well, we're really ......"

"Really."

Chen Gyu's words were even more firm.

He knew that his son could not make this decision yet, so he could make this decision, and he would be able to bear the consequences for the future of the entire family.

"Cao Cao treats Xu benevolently and righteously, if he takes Xuzhou, he can stabilize the situation in an instant and win the hearts of the people."

"At this time, Sun Qian and the others will definitely find a way back."

"Cao Bao is also close to Lu Bu."

And we can only turn to Cao Cao.

You marry your daughter, and she scatters her wealth.

I sell my city.

We all have a bright future.
