When Xue Yi heard Cheng Pu's words, he was naturally quite surprised.

The Jiangdong Sun clan has fallen to such a point that Sun Ce is actually dead, and his own brother has to flee.

However, Xue Yi also knew the priorities, and now was not the time to ponder, so he hurriedly asked Cheng Pu to take him to see Sun Quan.

After a while, Xue Yi came to the post house and saw the young man who was suspected of being Sun Quan, the other party's clothes were not gorgeous, and he did not carry tokens such as ribbon flags, but he did have a different appearance, blue eyes and a purple short beard, and Xue Yi did not dare to despise it.

How did he know that Sun Quan had been cautious in the past few days, and when he passed through Yuan Tan's occupied area, he even hid a razor close to him, ready to shave if he found that the situation was wrong.

Fortunately, the Yuan Tan general, who patrolled and guarded Han Dang, was not careful, and did not carefully investigate Han Dang's "scribe entourage", and did not notice Sun Quan's abnormal appearance. Sun Quan kept his short beard (because he was only twenty years old, he couldn't be called "purple hair" yet, and he had to grow it for a few more years to grow enough).

Out of prudence, Xue Yi talked to Sun Quan a little bit, and after asking about the situation, he asked Cheng Pu to bring everything that could prove Sun Quan's identity, and then sent his subordinate Governor Gao Tanglong with two hundred soldiers to escort Sun Quan to Xudu.

Regarding Xue Yi's suspicions, Sun Quan did not show an overreaction or feel humiliated, but just calmly went on the road without humility or arrogance.

……

Sun Quan and Cheng Pu traveled all the way west under the escort of Gao Tanglong, and everyone had horses, so the speed was naturally not slow.

Pengcheng was originally in the westernmost part of Xuzhou, so a day later it entered Pei County and Feng County in Yuzhou. After another day, I left Yu and arrived at Yan, and arrived at Jiyin County.

According to the route plan, after arriving at Jiyin County, you should turn southwest and go to Xudu through Liang and Chen Counties.

However, when Sun Quan and his entourage were in Jiyin County, they were interrogated by local officials in Yanzhou, and after Gao Tanglong explained his intentions, the other party asked him to temporarily slow down and needed to be reported.

Gao Tanglong was puzzled, he was obviously on the mission of the audience explained by Xue Yi, why did the officials on the Yanzhou side obstruct him, but he didn't want to cause a conflict, so he temporarily held it for a day or two.

Two days later, the Yanzhou officers came again to give an order, asking them to go northwest to Jiyin County to govern Tao County.

Gao Tanglong argued with reason, but the other party said that this was an order from the county guard of Daijiyin. He also said that after going to Dingtao, although he would take a long detour, he could go all the way up the Jishui River, turn the chasm canal, and go to Yingchuan by water, which could save the guests from the bumps of the carriage and horses.

Cheng Pu and Sun Quan were not very anxious to see Cao Cao, Sun Quan just came to be a rich man and an idle man, and he didn't want to make trouble when he saw this. Gao Tang Long saw that Sun Quan agreed, and he did not resist.

The group turned to the northwest, traveled for another day, and arrived at Jiyin County to govern Tao.

It was also in this Dingtao County that Sun Quan met another heavyweight.

That night, the mysterious official, who was said to be temporarily acting as the guardian of Jiyin County, summoned Sun Quan and Cheng Pu.

As soon as the two sides met, the other party observed Sun Quan's appearance and asked a few more questions before revealing his identity:

"The old man Jia Xu, temporarily acting for Cheng Zhongde to guard Jiyin County. Cheng Fujun has another important matter to send temporarily, if you want to visit Sikong, you don't have to go to Xudu - Sikong is not in Xudu, but in Juancheng in the north, on the Tunbing River.

If Sun Lang is afraid, he can stay here for a while, and when Si returns at leisure, he will meet him on the way. If you are in a hurry to see you, I will send someone else to escort you to Juancheng. ”

This person is Jia Xu? Sun Quan and Cheng Pu were surprised.

was not only surprised by Jia Xu's identity, but also surprised by the news revealed by Jia Xu.

Fortunately, Sun Quan quickly calmed down, he was not very familiar with the geography of Jiyin, Dongjun, Jibei and other places, so he asked Jia Xu to show them the map.

Jia Xu didn't refuse, Sun Quan hastily looked at the map, and then came up with an idea: "Juancheng is on the verge of the Yellow River, and Duke Cao is going to Juancheng in person, so why don't you want to use troops against Yuan Shao?" ”

"It's exactly as Sun Lang expected." Jia Xu has been observing each other, and it is not difficult to see this, but Sun Quan is still very young, which shows that Sun Quan is at least not a sloppy bag who does not learn and has no skills.

Sun Quan only hesitated for a second or two, and then decisively said: "In this case, there is an escort from Lao Jia Gong to Juancheng for an audience. ”

Jia Xu nodded, didn't say anything more, and arranged for someone to escort Sun Quan to the north early the next morning, and arrived in Juancheng a day later and saw Cao Cao.

Counting the days, from Sun Quan's landing in "Rizhao", two days to Zhuxian, three days to Pengcheng, three days to Dingtao, and one day to Juancheng. Before and after, a total of nine days will be about to see Cao Cao.

And if Sun Ce and his party were discovered by Yuan Tan's patrol in Langya, it would have been at least seven days. On the other side, Han Dang was sent by Yuan Tanjun to Linzi to meet Yuan Tan, at least three or four days before Sun Quan met Cao Cao.

If Yuan Tan was keen enough and paid enough attention, he actually had the opportunity to discover that the Sun family was completely destroyed, the Sun family had all fled north, and Cao Cao had deceived Xiapi's feints in Pengcheng. There was no need to wait for Liu Bei's warning messenger Zhuge to arrive.

However, Yuan Tan is not a particularly keen talent, he has to deal with a lot of things every day, and he can't distinguish the priorities, so he didn't chase the line of "Han Dang to descend" to check to the end as soon as possible.

……

On the fifth day of April, on the night, Juancheng County.

Cheng Pu was stopped outside, and someone else entertained him, while Sun Quan was taken into the inner courtyard by Xu Chu alone.

Looking at this posture and this battle, Cheng Pu also knew that Sun Quan was summoned by Cao Cao alone, so he had to wait.

Sun Quan was a little apprehensive in his heart, but quickly overcame it. He was already a helpless and unthreatening person, and Cao Cao would not do anything to him. As long as Cao Cao still wants to attract the hearts of the people in the world, he has to be kind to himself.

Thinking like this, Sun Quan followed Xu Chu around a few courtyard walls, and finally came to the inner hall.

Although he knew that he shouldn't observe the other party's appearance, Sun Quan was young and had good eyesight, so he still took advantage of the fact that the two sides were more than ten steps apart, and quickly observed a few glances, and only after walking within five steps did he keep his head bowed.

"I didn't expect Cao Cao, who is famous and famous, to be so short and fat, but his beard is quite powerful, and it is enough to hide it after sitting down." Sun Quan was secretly worried in his heart.

And Cao Cao really didn't plan to stand up the whole time, just sat on the couch and looked up at Sun Quan.

It's not that he is arrogant, or looks down on Sun Quan, it's just that the dwarf likes to keep sitting to hide his shortness. Especially Cao Cao's shortness is caused by short legs, and the upper body is not short, so it is not easy to see that he is short after sitting down.

"Sun Quan, the general of the defeated army and the captain of Fengyi, meet Sikong." Sun Quan walked up to Cao Cao and saluted respectfully.

Cao Cao also took the opportunity to observe Sun Quan's appearance, and was also quite amazed by his purple sparse short beard and blue-green pupils.

"This son was born with a rich and different appearance, but he has fallen to this, and it seems that physiognomy cannot be fully believed. I was also familiar with Sun Wentai back then, why does this son not look like Sun Wentai at all? Cao Cao secretly worried in his heart, and he was also suspicious that Sun Quan didn't look like Sun Jian.

However, he would not dwell on these problems, and hurriedly chatted with Sun Quan about the recent situation of the war in Jiangdong where Liu Bei pacified, and Sun Quan also knew everything and told the truth.

Cao Cao is well versed in the way of using soldiers, so he can naturally hear the truth of what Sun Quan said. In just a few sentences, he had already tried out Sun Quan's insight, and confirmed that this Sun Quan was definitely not an impostor.

Cao Cao thought about it for a while, and had already thought about how to reward him: "Brother Ling fought against the traitor Liu Bei and sacrificed his life for the country, which is respectable and lamentable." I only hated that the orphan was restrained by Yuan Shao at the beginning, and he didn't have time to return to the army to the south to rescue - you said that Brother Ling was orphaned, and this time he also came to vote together? ”

Sun Quan hurriedly replied: "That's true, my nephew Sun Shao, who is only two years old, is fortunate to be born strong, and the sea has been turbulent for more than half a month, and he has also carried it." ”

Cao Cao nodded: "Gu will play the Son of Heaven on the same day, let Sun Shao attack the Marquis of Wucheng, Wucheng County is in the hands of Liu Bei, and Gu will choose another land for 2,000 households, and take his tax as a knight." In addition, you are awarded the Marquis of Wu, the general of the captivity, and the leader of the Lujiang Taishou, although Wu County is also in the hands of Liu Bei, and the orphan is also divided into another 2,000 households as food. ”

As for Lujiang Taishou, of course, he can only receive it from afar, and it is a temporary post.

Sun Quan hurriedly thanked him.

After chatting about the reward placement, Cao Cao was still a little interested in Sun Quan, so he talked about family life, as well as Sun Quan's experiences and hardships along the way. Sun Quan didn't hide it, and truthfully recounted his hardships along the way, Cao Cao saw that he was tenacious and able to deal with changes without being surprised, and he appreciated him more and more.

I also heard Sun Quan mention that when he passed through Zhuxian and Ju County, in order not to be intercepted by Yuan Jun, he had to sacrifice Han Dang as a cover and vote for Yuan Tan, Cao Cao was also slightly startled, and suddenly realized another problem.

"Han Dang voted for Yuan Tan? Even if Yuan Tan didn't know that you were also among Beitou, there were nearly 1,000 soldiers under Han Dang's command, all of whom were contained by Yuan Tan, even if Han ordered to seal up, he couldn't cover everything!

As long as Yuan Tan thought of asking people to isolate and interrogate the tun chief and what chief, it was not difficult to know that the Jiangdong Sun clan had been completely destroyed! This can only be concealed for a few days at most! If Yuan Shao is not in the middle of the plan, and has not yet crossed the Yellow River south with a large army, and falls into my trap, won't it be a big deal for me! ”

For a moment, Cao Cao felt disgusted with Sun Quan.

He would have liked Sun Quan to vote, but Sun Quan's unsecretive actions might cause Yuan Shao to reassess the tension between Cao and Liu, and the situation would be different.

Sun Quan hadn't thought about this question originally, because he didn't know that Cao Cao was going to lure Yuan Shao again, but after meeting Jia Xu yesterday, Sun Quan thought of this. So all day today, on the way from Dingtao to Juancheng, he had already thought of all kinds of excuses to comfort Cao Cao, so as not to be angry with Cao Cao.

At that moment, Sun Quan immediately half defended himself and half comforted: "Cao Gong doesn't have to worry! In the two days that General Han covered us for the crossing, I also secretly observed Yuan Tan's generals stationed in Langya.

In the next vote, it will never ruin Cao Gong's big event! Please wait and see! When I passed through the counties that day, I rubbed through the ancestors of the Ge clan in the counties, relying on the historical events, learning from the past and the present, and the Zhuge clan today, but Ge Ying's talent, Liu Bei may have the ambition of the high emperor, but the perseverance of Cao Gong is above Xiang Liang.

Xiang Liang died as soon as he was defeated, but Cao Gong was able to persevere, with Xiang Liang's grand strategy, as well as Shen Shang's spells and Han Bai's strange strategies. If Xiang Liang could defeat and fight again, how could the world have Emperor Gao's share! Yuan Shao and Liu Bei can't win the public, this is inevitable! ”

Then Sun Quan gradually explained the truth that he slowly figured out when chatting with Cheng Pu that day, and gradually explained it all with metaphors.

As soon as Cao Cao heard Sun Quan's self-defense and clear responsibility, he was a little displeased. Later, when I heard Sun Quan openly slap my ass, I felt a little disgusted.

But listening to it, I found that Sun Quan's sycophant shot was chic, and he was also concerned.
