If someone else said these words, Sun Jian would refute a few words.

But such words came from the mouth of Huang Yi, who Sun Jian had never looked down upon, and Sun Jian's heart was complicated.

For generals, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and if you lose a battle, you just need to win it back next time.

But if this affects the family, even if he wins, he will only be alone.

Sun Jian's current situation is quite embarrassing.

wanted to defeat Cao Cao, but couldn't find a chance to win.

Although Zhou Yu is talented, he still has little experience.

Cao Cao Wen has a scheming and a martial arts, which is not something that Sun Jian can defeat alone.

If Cao Cao can't be defeated, Sun Jian will be hated by Yuan Shu.

As Huang Yi said, Yuan Shu hated Sun Jian, Cao Cao wanted to kill Sun Jian, Guan Yu wanted to stop Sun Jian, and even Jiangdong, the only way to retreat, also promoted the three counties of Lujiang, Yuzhou, and Huiji to form an alliance to raise Tai Shici as the pastor of Yangzhou because of Zheng Ping's layout.

Can't go in, can't go back.

When the grain and grass are exhausted, there is only a dead end waiting for Sun Jian.

Seeing Sun Jian's hesitation, Huang Yi simply said: "General Sun, if you don't believe it, you can send someone to Jiangdong to investigate." It's only a few days around you, and during this time, you'll be staying in your barracks. ”

In order to make meritorious contributions, in order to repay Zheng Ping's kindness, Huang Yi also let go.

If Sun Jian is not persuaded to surrender, Huang Yi does not plan to leave Sun Jian's military camp.

Sun Jian saw that Huang Yi was so convinced, and the worry in his heart was even worse.

sent someone to settle Huang Yi in another camp, and Sun Jian immediately sent Han Dang to Jiangdong to inquire about information.

Not a few days.

Han Dang returns.

followed Han Dang back, as well as Sun Jian's clan Sun He.

Seeing this, Sun Jian couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and asked urgently: "Bohai, why did you come here with Yigong?" ”

Sun He said hatefully: "Wu County is too guarded by Xu Gong, and he raises the banner to support Tai Shici, a native of Donglai, as the pastor of Yangzhou." The soldiers and horses of the four counties of Lujiang, Yuzhang, Huiji and Wu County are heading to Danyang County. ”

Sun Jian was shocked: "How could Xu Gong support Tai Shici as the pastor of Yangzhou?" ”

Sun He said angrily: "Taishi Ci Federation Ji Taishou Wang Langbing pointed to Wu County, Wu County celebrities Gao Dai, Xu Zhao and Runan celebrities Xu Jing lobbied Xu Gong together. ”

"Xu Gong knew that he was invincible, so he surrendered Kaicheng."

"Tai Shi Ci took Wu County bloodlessly!"

Because Liu Miao was dissatisfied with Xu Gong, Xu Gong attached himself to Yuan Shu and became the Taishou of Wu County.

Gao Dai and Xu Zhao were originally famous officials in Wu County, and they were under the command of the former Wu County Taishou Shengxian, and Xu Jing had a lot of friendship with Xu Gong and Wang Lang because of his refuge in Yangzhou.

After analyzing the situation in the Yangzhou celebrity circle, he first asked Wang Lang to lobby Yan Baihu, and then asked Gao Dai, Xu Zhao and Xu Jing to lobby Xu Gong together.

Although Xu Gong was quite powerful in Wu County, after all, he had just become the Taishou of Wu County, and it was too late to purge all forces in Wu County.

As soon as Tai Shici's army came, Wu Junhaoqiang Yan Baihu, who had a relationship with Wang Lang, was directly persuaded by Wang Lang to surrender.

Xu Gong, who knew that he was incapable of fighting Tai Shi Ci, supported Tai Shi Ci to temporarily lead Yangzhou under the guarantee of the famous Xu Jing, Xu Zhao and Gao Dai, on the condition of continuing to serve as the Taishou of Wu County.

Sun Jian sat down dejectedly: "Xu Gong has descended to Tai Shi Ci, and Danyang is too guarded by Zhou Shang to support it alone." Yangzhou, Ben will not be able to go back! ”

Cheng Pu was puzzled: "Lord, Xu Gong's attachment to Yuan Shu was originally just to deal with Liu Xuan. It is not surprising that Tai Shi Ci is now descended. ”

"Tai Shi Ci wants to be based in Yangzhou, how can Lu Kang in Lujiang and Hua Xin in Yuzhang agree?"

"Why do you say that Danyang is too guarded by Zhou Shang alone?"

Sun Jian smiled bitterly: "Demou doesn't know anything. The reason why Tai Shi Ci dared to enter Wu County with Wang Lang, the Taishou of Huiji, was because the three counties of Lujiang, Yuzhang and Huiji jointly promoted Tai Shi Ci as the pastor of Yangzhou. ”

"That's why Huang Yi came to find his general."

"Jiangdong, there is no place for the general."

This sudden change shocked everyone present.

It's been less than a month since he came to Huailing, and Jiangdong has become too Shici?

Cheng Pu was even more suspicious: "Lord, but Liu Miao is not dead yet?" It is unbelievable that the three counties are so eager to support Tai Shici as the pastor of Yangzhou. ”

"Who appointed this Tai Shi Ci?"

Sun Jian sighed: "Tai Shici is the chief general of the Fei Military Battalion under the command of Qingzhou Mu Liu Xuande. He is also the sworn brother of Zheng Xianmou in Qingzhou! ”

"In other words, Taishi Cibing pointed to Yangzhou, and he was instructed by Liu Xuande!"

"It's really amazing, Liu Xuande doesn't make a move, and he will take Xu Yang and Liangzhou as soon as he makes a move!"

After a pause, Sun Jian said again: "If the general can defeat Cao Cao, Liu Xuande can still take the opportunity to take Yuzhou again, and Xu Yangyu will be decided in a battle!" ”

"If Liu Xuande really succeeds, Liu Xuande's name will be truly powerful in the world."

"Ben General, it's not as good as Liu Xuande!"

Sun Jian is self-aware.

With just one Guan Yu, Sun Jian can't deal with it, not to mention the rest of Liu Bei's civil and military forces behind Guan Yu.

The generals were silent.

Even Sun Ce, who has always been arrogant, was silent at this time.

The conceited Zhou Yu was also stunned.

Especially Zhou Yu, although he guessed part of Zheng Ping's purpose, he failed to guess Zheng Ping's overall plan.

A leaf is blind, and Mount Tai is not seen.

Zhou Yu is very intelligent, but he knows too little about Zheng Ping's celebrity circle.

Who would have thought that Lujiang's grandson who guarded Lu Kang would marry Zhuge Liangyi?

Who would have thought that Yu Zhang's own brother who guarded Hua Xin would regard Zheng Ping as a brother?

Who would have thought that Huiji would guard Wang Lang too much, and he would vote as soon as he saw Tai Shi Ci coming?

Who would have thought that capturing Yuan Shu alive was not the goal, but only the beginning of Zheng Ping's layout of Sanzhou?

Zheng Ping is the son of the famous Zheng Xuan, as long as Zheng Ping does not rebel and does not stand on his own, Zheng Ping will be able to take advantage of the righteousness in the celebrity circle!

The Han Dynasty has been a monk for 400 years, no matter what the attitude of the celebrities towards the Han in private, they must be loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty on the surface!

What?

Zheng Ping is not famous enough?

Zheng Ping has never dared to use bold tactics because of his lack of fame.

The reason is very simple and very direct: Zheng Ping has a father, Xuan Xuan, a famous Confucian in Dongzhou, and an elder in the world!

Zheng Ping is not the kind of second-generation person who will shout "I want to be independent, I want to rely on myself, I can work hard without relying on my parents, and I am a person who does not want to be called a son of so-and-so".

Ideally, just play in private.

Zheng Ping is a very realistic person.

I don't need Zheng Xuan's fame, but I want to break through it myself, that's not called maintaining self-esteem, that's stupid!

But all those who have achieved great things have stood on the shoulders of their predecessors.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang, who started with a bowl, married Guo Zixing's adopted daughter, and only then embarked on the road of expelling Hu Lu and establishing the Ming Dynasty.

Right now.

Huang Yi arrived.

Glancing at Sun He, Huang Yi couldn't help but smile: "It seems that General Sun has got the latest information from Jiangdong." Can you also listen to the current situation in Jiangdong? ”

Sun He snorted coldly and was silent.

Sun Jian took a deep breath and waved his hand to let the generals retreat.

"General Huang, why do you knowingly ask." Sun Jian's attitude softened a lot: "Liu Xuande is indeed a good means, and he can take Lujiang, Yuzhang, Huiji and Wujun without blood in such a short period of time. ”

"If Ben General didn't guess wrong, Tai Shi Ci would only besiege Danyang County but not attack it."

"The general fought Wancheng for several months and failed to take it, Liu Xuande just sent a team of soldiers and horses, a few lobbyists, and let most of Yangzhou surrender."

"It seems that Ben Jiang is from such a humble background, after all, he can't reach the family of famous and noble."

In the last sentence, Sun Jian's tone was a little more bleak.

Huang Yi smiled and said, "Why is General Sun arrogant? With the ability of General Sun, he will definitely be a marquis and a general one day, and his heirs can also benefit from this. ”

"Not to mention Xuande Gong's ability to gather people, Mr. Xianmou's grandfather is just an ordinary scholar. The Zheng family in Beihai is the result of Kang Chenggong's lifelong efforts and Mr. Xianmou's fame in assisting Xuande in public industry, which has today's reputation. ”

"And General Sun's father is just an ordinary official, how can General Sun's more than ten years of work compare to the operation of the two generations of the Zheng family in Beihai?"

"Even the Runan Yuan family, whose protégés and former officials are all over the world, has accumulated the merits of the four generations to have today's prestige of the Yuan family."

Sun Jian was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "This general will even have a day when he will be preached by General Huang." ”

After a pause, Sun Jian smiled slightly, and said: "Zheng Xianmou's private letter said that if the general is willing to belong to Xuande Gong, he can temporarily take Yuzhou. ”

"But this Yuzhou Mu is Cao Cao, and Cao Cao is the general and Xu Hou of Chang'an given by the Son of Heaven to conquer the east."

"Could it be that Xuande Gong wants to support the Son of Heaven in Zhuocheng?"

Huang Yi shook his head: "Since Xuande Gong has accepted the scepter of the Son of Heaven in Chang'an, it is naturally impossible to support the Son of Heaven in Zhuocheng. ”

"Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou without permission for private affairs, killed Xuzhou Mu Taoqian and Tulu County soldiers in violation of the law, if General Sun is willing to attach, Xuande Gong will ask Cao Cao."

"Xuande Gong has the scepter of the Son of Heaven, and he is qualified to ask Cao Cao for sin!"

Sun Jian's eyes widened: "This can also be a crime?" ”

Huang Yi sneered: "Why can't it be a crime?" When Xuande Gong captured Liu Dai, he escorted Liu Dai to Chang'an and handed it over to Zongzheng Mansion for questioning; After capturing his father-in-law, he will also send his father-in-law to Chang'an for questioning. ”

"A minister at the state pastoral level, it takes the Son of Heaven to convict, what qualifications does Cao Cao have to attack and kill without authorization?"

"Cao Cao, is there a scepter of the Son of Heaven?"

"Since there is none, it is a rebel."

"Xuande Gong has the scepter of the Son of Heaven, and he can arrest the thief who plots rebellion according to the law."

"If you want to blame, blame Cao Cao for not knowing the general situation, thinking that he has soldiers and horses in hand, so he dares to attack and kill the minister of the state without authorization."

Sun Jian was stunned for a long time, and finally sighed helplessly: "General Huang, I'm tired to go back and tell Mr. Zheng." Sun Jian, willing to surrender! ”

Today's Sun Jian is just a general under Yuan Shu, and he is essentially no different from Huang Yi, Liu Xun, Qiao Rui and others.

Although Sun Jian has the heart of self-reliance, from the first year of Chuping to the present, he has not been able to put it into practice due to various accidents.

And now, Sun Jian has completely let go of the unrealistic idea of self-reliance.

Huang Yi's words touched Sun Jian a lot.

After more than ten years of work, how can it be compared with the generations of celebrities and nobles?

Sun Jian wants the Sun family to prosper, and he shouldn't be angry that the poor can't compare to the wealthy.

Instead, we should work hard to revitalize the family like Situ Yuanan and pave the way for future generations.

Yuan An's grandfather Yuan Liang was only a county magistrate, and his father Yuan Chang was not a scholar, but Yuan An was able to become a boss step by step from a county gongcao, and he was good at teaching his children and grandchildren, so that his descendants could rank among the third and fourth generations, and let Yuan's protégés and former officials spread all over the world.

Huang Yi completed Zheng Ping's task, and he was even happier in his heart: "General Sun, you won't regret today's decision." ”

"Duke Xuande is bound to help the Son of Heaven in Chang'an and pacify the puppet emperor of Zhuocheng."

"If you choose to rely on Xuande Gong at this time, you will have many opportunities for meritorious service in the future."

"The Sun clan of Wu County will prosper because of General Sun!"

Wait for Huang Yi to leave.

Sun Jian informed his confidants of the surrender of Liu Bei.

Regarding Sun Jian's decision, although veterans such as Cheng Pu, Han Dang and Huang Gai were surprised, they did not object again.

Since Sun Jian said this, it means that he has made up his mind.

"Since the lord has chosen the Duke of Xuande, he will be the last to help the lord and make meritorious contributions."

"General Cao killed Zu Mao, and this revenge has to be avenged."

"The last general asks for his life and fights to the death with that Cao general."

Huang Gai pleaded for his life.

Cheng Pu and Han Dang also echoed it.

Although Sun Jian's four generals come from different places, they have long been like brothers in the perennial campaign.

Zu Mao was killed by Xu Chu, how could the three generals of Cheng Pu not think of revenge?

Sun Ce was unconvinced: "Father, does Liu Xuande have an heir?" ”

Sun Jian shook his head and admonished: "I only heard that Xuande Gong has a daughter, who is still young. Ce'er, my father knows that you are not convinced, but I, a Jiangdong man, must not be narrow-minded. ”

Sun Jian knew too much about Sun Ce's thoughts.

Since his father couldn't compare to Liu Bei, Sun Ce wanted to compare with Liu Bei's heirs in order to gain face.

Although Sun Ce was admonished, he was still not convinced.

Zhou Yu's face was a little complicated, and he arched his hand: "Since my uncle has decided to surrender to Liu Bei, my little nephew is going to go to Danyang County to see my uncle first." ”

Sun Jian also saw through Zhou Yu's thoughts, a handsome young man like Sun Ce and Zhou Yu is a newborn calf, how can he easily convince people?

"Ah Yu, it's useless for you to go back to Danyang County now." Sun Jian persuaded softly: "Don't drive Zheng Xianmou in Qingzhou, now you are in Huailing City." If Ah Yu wants to save Zhou Shang, he must go to see this Zheng Xianmou. ”

"Although Ah Yu has great talents, he knows very little about the world's heroes, and now that he has the opportunity, doesn't Ah Yu want to visit Zheng Xianmou in person?"

"You and Ce'er, one is self-disciplined with talent, and the other is self-disciplined with courage, but this open-mindedness is a little smaller."

"But those who can achieve great things must not be narrow-minded, nor can they be too self-conscious and unwilling to bow their heads."

Compared with the young Sun Celai, Sun Jian's instrument is more magnanimous.

After all, being able to succumb to Yuan Shu's command, how could Sun Jian's strength be narrow.

Sun Ce was young and brave, and he did not experience the pain of losing his father, so this sex was naturally more arrogant and proud.

Although Zhou Yu has experienced the pain of losing his father, most talented people are proud, and it is difficult to admit that they are weaker than other talents.

The same is true for Zhou Yu!

came in a hurry, but the result was that Sun Jian was forced by the situation to choose to surrender to Liu Bei, which made Zhou Yu's self-esteem suffer a great blow.

After all, Sun Jian has lived more than ten years longer than Sun Ce, and his life experience and ideological perception are stronger than Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, and he naturally knows very well that sometimes this self-esteem has no value!

After being admonished by Sun Jian, Zhou Yu also lowered his head, and there was much less awkwardness in his eyes.
