When Guo Jia heard this, he said in his heart that he had just been a bird, and he had offended people. If Pang De and Li Hui knew about this, then they would probably really blame themselves. But this is the same thing that made his lord notice him again, and now he is the first to speak, and I don't know whether it should be a good thing or a bad thing.

But in any case, since his lord has already called himself, of course he can't speak.

So at this time, I heard Guo Jia say: "Lord, I heard that after the Sun-Liu coalition army occupied Xiangyang, the army had made some moves and had already moved south, so Jia can think that the combination of Cao Mengde's Yanzhou army and Sun Ce and Liu Bei's Sun-Liu coalition army is not far away!" ”

When Ma Chao heard it, he also had to pay attention to it, after all, this matter is really not a trivial matter, but a big one. It is conceivable that when the three parties form an alliance, they will inevitably have to deal with themselves together in the end, so isn't this matter tricky?

Although I didn't say that I was so scared, I also had a headache in the face of such an opponent. Of course, there are benefits, after all, with a strong enemy, you can progress, this is true-

So when Ma Chao heard this, he hurriedly asked Guo Jia, "How sure is Fengxiao about this?" ”

Guo Jia smiled when he heard this, and said in his heart, Lord, can you still not understand, you should be better with me. But he definitely can't say that, after all, what does his lord think. That's his business, he doesn't want to say it, and his subordinates won't force him to say anything.

So Guo Jia said: "Eighty! ”

When the crowd heard. The heart said yes, since Mr. Fengxiao said that he was eighty percent sure, then at this time, maybe Cao Mengde was already negotiating with Sun Bofu and Liu Xuande. Of course, it is more likely that several people have already discussed how to deal with themselves in the end. Yes, Cao Mengde values the retreat of their Yanzhou army more. But if this matter is settled, won't the three of them come directly to their own side?

I don't want to think about it if I don't know. It's really, sadly. Everyone is not afraid of trouble, but it is true, of course, the less trouble the better. Isn't that what it is?

Ma Chao nodded. The heart said that for Cao Cao and them, it must be guarded against. Especially at this time, you need to be more careful.

So he asked again: "I don't know what Feng Xiao thinks, what should our army do now, or is it so immovable?" ”

Guo Jia said with a smile: "Yes, lord, now that our army has taken Changsha, it is not appropriate to enter the army at this time." in Jiangxia and Changsha. Our army should all stand still, just wait for Cao Mengde and them to come! ”

Ma Chao asked everyone at this time. "I don't know what you think, what did Feng Xiao say?"

Gan Ning said at this time: "My lord, Mr. Fengxiao's words are very true, and his subordinates seconded it!" ”

"I already know the meaning of Xingba, I don't know what you think?"

Everyone hurriedly agreed, after all, Guo Jia was right, and they couldn't see what their lord meant, so naturally they wouldn't tear down the stage. Besides, they still don't understand that at this time, in such a situation, the most advantageous thing for their own side is to be stationed in Jiangxia and Changsha, and then wait for the rabbits.

Since Cao Cao and they want to form an alliance, or they are already an alliance, then they must have something to do against themselves, so they come, they want to fight, then they will continue, accompany to the end, the so-called you want to fight, I will fight, who is afraid of whom. Anyway, whether it's Ma Chao or his subordinates, yes, it's impossible to say that he is not worried at all, but if he is afraid, this is the same.

Ma Chao's next step in this discussion is to decide, and they are still waiting for Cao Cao and them to arrive. Anyway, the other side has already taken Changsha, and the power is greater than before, and the benefits for the side have also increased. It's just that the enemy has become stronger, and there is nothing else.

But this matter is expected by my side, and it is not a big deal. Cao Cao and their tripartite alliance, to put it bluntly, it's not that they are worried about themselves, that's why they are like this, otherwise why bother. Of course, this has to be said that Cao Cao also had to do so because his Yanzhou army had no way to retreat. But his Yanzhou army does not have any big advantage now, even if there is a way to retreat, in fact, it can be said that it is imperative to unite-

As for why this is so, in fact, there are still so many reasons, the so-called interests, the so-called strong enemy, this is the case. Who let the combination of interests make Cao Cao and Liu Bei and other people who have such a grudge united, because they have a common enemy, and this enemy is still a strong enemy, so they made a tripartite alliance to deal with Ma Chao's Liangzhou army together.

Xiao Ling, Cao Cao, Sun Ce and Liu Bei have negotiated, and it can be said that they are all happy in the end. After all, each party can be regarded as getting what their own side wants, so everyone is naturally happy.

In the end, Cao Cao, who was the most host, held a banquet in Xiaoling and personally entertained Sun Ce and Liu Bei and their party. This must be indispensable, even Cao Cao is in a hurry, and wants to receive Xiangyang as soon as possible, but he still has to entertain Sun Ce and Liu Bei first, which is the most basic etiquette.

On the second day, Sun Ce and Liu Bei said goodbye to Cao Cao and went north to return to Nanjun. After all, he had to personally bring his coalition army to Wuling to take over the land, and then Cao Cao had to go north to Nanjun. Take over Xiangyang――

Cao Cao and his subordinates personally sent Sun Ce and Liu Bei out of the city, after all, Cao Cao, as the host. Proper courtesy is still a must. If Sun Ce and Liu Bei are subordinates, then it is not necessary for Cao Cao to go out of the city to send them, but since the two of them came in person, Cao Cao has to go to the city.

The so-called "sending you a thousand miles, you must say goodbye in the end", and finally in Sun Ce's retention. Cao Cao finally stopped.

At this time, I heard him say to Sun Ce and Liu Bei: "Two, take care, just wait here for the two to bring troops to Wuling as soon as possible!" ”

Sun Ce and Liu Bei both knew it in their hearts. Isn't this just for the sake of his Yanzhou Army taking over Xiangyang as soon as possible, he can't say this, let alone show anything.

Sun Ce smiled, "That's nature. Cao Sikong is waiting for Ce and Xuande Gong to arrive with troops. Please rest assured that Cao Sikong will do his best! ”

Liu Bei also said to Cao Cao. "Yes, so is Bei!" ――

Cao Cao laughed when he heard this, "The two of you do things, don't worry!" ”

"Cao Sikong, farewell!"

"Farewell!"

"Walk slowly, you won't be far away!"

After speaking, Sun Ce and Liu Bei got on the horse. Then he went north with his own cavalry, and not long after. It's gone. After all, this is now on Cao Cao's territory, even if Sun Ce and Liu Bei don't think that Cao Cao will do anything to them, but the so-called "defense is indispensable", so both of them understand, it is better to hurry north to Nanjun. When it comes to its own territory, then there is no problem, who is afraid of whom. But here in Cao Cao, this is someone's territory after all.

And Cao Cao and his subordinates looked at it, and the speed of Sun Ce and Liu Bei was really not slow. But I also have to admit that if this matter were my own, I guess I would have to be the same as them-

Cao Cao smiled at his subordinates next to him, "It seems that they are in a hurry to go back, but it's okay, so that our army can take over Xiangyang as soon as possible!" ”

Everyone next to him knows that the first half of his lord's sentence is just ridicule, but the second half of the sentence is the truth, in fact, this is also the voice of his own generals and soldiers. Now it is good for you to occupy Xiangyang as soon as possible, and now everyone on your side can rest assured, if it is true, who can rest assured.

For their own side, as long as the problem of retreat is completely solved and solved, then they will naturally have the intention to fight with the Liangzhou army, or it is true, their own soldiers are estimated to not have such a big heart.

Someone next to him said: "Lord, why don't you detain Sun Bofu and Liu Xuande here, so that our army doesn't take the initiative?" ”

As soon as they heard this person's words, everyone laughed, and said that this person's head was not squeezed by the door, otherwise how could he say such stupid things?

Cao Cao was in a good mood at this time, he also laughed twice, and then said: "Gongda, why don't you say a few words, may our army be like this?" ”――

Xun You shook his head again and again when he heard his lord's words, and then said: "Back to the lord, since Sun Bofu and Liu Xuande dare to come to Xiaoling, although they don't have many troops, their subordinates think that after all, the two of them are stationed in Nanjun, not far from Xiaoling, so our army wants to detain the two, but it is impossible." ”

As a result, the one asked a little unwillingly, "What does Mr. Gongda mean that the two of them have been prepared?" However, our army forcibly detained the two people, can the two escape? ”

Xun Yu continued to shake his head, and then said: "At this time, it is absolutely not, the so-called 'those who come are not good, and those who are good do not come'." Since he Sun Bofu and Liu Xuande came, they must have come prepared. And I dare to say that I don't want to say that Sun Bofu and his people have 'the courage of ten thousand people', but if the two of them can't go back today, then the Sun-Liu coalition army will inevitably come directly to forcibly attack Wuling. And it is also possible to unite with Ma Mengqi to attack Wuling, and even attack the land of our army! ”

When everyone heard this, they quickly nodded. When I think about it, it's not impossible, but it's very possible, and it's even like that.

The seizure of Sun Ce and Liu Bei will not do much good to oneself, but will do more harm, so of course this matter cannot be done. Cao Cao wouldn't do it, and neither would his subordinates. There are only those who have just defected to him, and those in Wuling who see the wind and make the rudder. It's just that the officials on the wall grass have such thoughts, and the others really don't think so.

And now half of the problem has been solved, so Cao Cao and his subordinates. It can be said that I have let go of more than half of my heart. As for the rest of them. I can only wait for when they will take over Xiangyang, when they will be completely at ease, or who can be at ease.

Sun Ce and Liu Bei led thousands of cavalry with their subordinates, and they returned to Nanjun without stopping, and arrived at the place where their Sun-Liu coalition army was garrisoned.

Don't look at the two of them in Xiaoling, but they are light and breezy, and they feel that there is nothing going on. But to be honest, both of them are not calm in their hearts, or they would not be in such a hurry to rush back. How to say that Wuling is Cao Cao's territory at this time. So the two of them still don't know in their hearts, what is called a long night and a lot of dreams? Even if they formed an alliance with Cao Cao, even if Cao Cao asked for them, they still couldn't pin their safety on others, so the two of them rushed back in a hurry-

In Sun Ce's big tent of the Chinese army, he and Liu Bei had already ordered the soldiers to summon everyone under their hands, and as long as they were here, they would all be summoned. After all, this is a big deal, and everyone must know about it. And the people who followed them to Xiaoling before were only some of their subordinates, these people knew the specific things, but there were still some things they didn't know, so they must let them know.

After everyone arrived, Sun Ce told everyone about the things in Xiaoling, and Liu Bei added it to him. When everyone heard this, they all understood, sure enough, they still united with Cao Cao's Yanzhou army, this is the trend of the times, sooner or later, it will be like this, and it will come to this point. Who made Ma Chao's Liangzhou army so strong, or what else could you do.

In the end, Sun Ce said to everyone: "At this point, our army has formed an alliance with Cao Mengde's Yanzhou army, so my intention is that now after our army rests for another day, it will go south and go directly to Linyuan." As for Xiangyang, there is a handwritten letter from Xuande Gong, so there is no problem with it, I don't know what you think? ”――

And when everyone heard it, no one dared to say a word, besides, this matter is clearly beneficial to themselves, and it has received so many benefits from others, right? The so-called "short hands and short mouths", this is something that ordinary people know, and these people still don't understand.

So in this regard, everyone is unanimous, after all, this matter is now imperative, so they all know and understand that the beauty is going to dismantle the stage. Besides, isn't it just for this matter that my lord went to Xiaoling, and now that this matter has been negotiated, of course, no one objects to this.

Everyone agreed, Sun Ce smiled and said, "Okay, since that's the case, then this matter is decided!" ”

In the end, he turned his head to Liu Bei and said, "Xuande Gong, the matter of Xiangyang, please!" ”

When Liu Bei heard this, he rolled his eyes in his heart, and said in his heart that your Sun Bofu remembered me Liu Xuande at this time. I also know that I use it a little, but why haven't I seen you say a few words to me before, let me say a few words?

Liu Bei's face was expressionless, but he still said to Sun Ce: "General Sun can rest assured that this matter is all wrapped up in Bei!" ”

Sun Ce smiled: "In this way, there will be Lao Xuandegong!" ”

"A qiē is a thing to do! Nothing to speak of! ”

The two politely said a few words, and this matter is over. And Liu Bei also wrote a letter by handwriting. Then Sun Ce sent someone to Xiangyang and asked him to hand it over to Xiangyang's chief general, Wen Zhongye. For this matter. Of course, Sun Ce was relieved, as long as Liu Bei's handwritten letter arrived, after Wen Ping read it, he would naturally know what to do.

After the messenger left, Sun Ce smiled at Liu Bei, "Xuande Gong, this matter is over for the time being." I wonder if it's time for us to talk about the most important thing? ”

As soon as Liu Bei heard what Sun Ce said, the most critical thing? What is that? Why don't you know, what is this Sun Bofu going to do? ――

Liu Bei was confused at this time. And Sun Ce looked at Liu Bei's expression at this time, and said disdainfully: "You Liu Xuande pretend to be quite similar, but don't try to deceive me!" Those twists and turns of your Liu Xuande, how can my Sun Bofu not know. Then my grandson Bofu should be a three-year-old child? Pretending to be stupid like this. You Liu Xuande is worthy of being the world's heroes! ”

If Liu Bei knew Sun Ce's thoughts at this time, he would definitely cry out for wrongdoing. The reason why he said this was because Liu Bei really didn't know what Sun Ce meant at this time, because he hadn't thought of that yet. But Sun Ce has been thinking about it, after all, it is about himself and the specific interests of the Jiangdong Army, so can he not care about this matter. As for Liu Bei, it can only be said that he didn't think of it for the time being.

I saw Sun Ce smiling at Liu Bei at this time. "Xuande Gong really didn't expect it?"

Liu Bei was slightly stunned, and then hurriedly asked, "I don't know what General Sun means by this?" ”

Sun Ce shouted in his heart. You just pretend, you Liu Xuande is really pretending to be like. But I'd like to see how long you can fit? ”――

Liu Bei looked at Sun Ce's expression at this time, he looked at himself playfully, he looked at it, and then thought about it, and said in his heart that you Sun Bofu had misunderstood, but he couldn't say this.

So at this time, he can only be a righteous color: "General Sun, Bei is really stupid, I don't know what General Sun means, so please ask the general to say it clearly!" ”

After Sun Ce heard this, he was so angry, and said in his heart that you Liu Bei Liu Xuande is clearly "pretending to be confused", if you don't want to talk about it, just say it, do you still need it.

Not only Sun Ce had this idea, but his subordinates, especially Zhou Yu, also thought so. They don't think that with Liu Bei's mind, they don't know what their lord is talking about, but Liu Bei pretends to be like this, that's really, this is a drop in price, a drop in price, it shouldn't be.

Not to mention Sun Ce's subordinates, even Xu Shu almost had this idea-

Of course, he and Zhou Yu definitely think differently, but they also think that what their lord is doing is not right, not very good, not authentic. But as a subordinate, it's not easy to say anything at this time, and what you can't say can only be two lord-level characters talking there.

Liu Bei saw Sun Ce like this, this is really, a misunderstanding, and a big misunderstanding. But Liu Bei is Liu Bei after all, a heroic figure in the world, he knows that at this time, the more he says he doesn't know, the more he doesn't understand, the more people think that he is pretending. But what is the actual situation, I know best in my heart, I am really confused, I don't know what he Sun Bofu means.

But Liu Bei is also worthy of being experienced, so at this time, he was busy smiling at Sun Cedui: "Hahaha, General Sun, what the general means, Bei has already understood, I don't know what the general wants?" ”

Liu Bei knew in his heart that no matter what he Sun Ce was talking about, when he said this, it would definitely be a panacea, so he must have to say his thoughts immediately, instead of looking at himself with this expression anymore-

The key is that Liu Bei is also playing drums in his heart at this time.

Why is this so, it's not because. Not only did he see Sun Ce's expression at this time, but he also noticed Zhou Yu and them, and he didn't pay attention to the expressions of his subordinates. So at this time, Liu Beixin said. That's really, why do so many people know about it? But why didn't I think of anything, I was really negligent?

It's no wonder that people look at themselves like this, and if they stand on their side, they probably have to think that they are pretending, alas, it's no wonder. After all, I don't want to be such a stupid person.

Don't say what Liu Bei thinks, just say that as soon as Sun Ce and the others heard Liu Bei's words, their expressions immediately changed. All of a sudden, it turned into an expression that was exactly like this. Liu Bei looked at it and said in his heart that this was really, and the misunderstanding was big. There is still no one in the world who can understand himself, and those who are not emperors claim to be widows. Isn't that what it is? And so it goes. I'm a widow myself.,Or in fact, it's already --

Sun Ce laughed when he heard this, but in this small voice, there were many things. But only he knows how much it means.

And Sun Ce said in his heart at this time, you Liu Xuande continue to pretend, what's the matter, you can't pretend. Normal. It's not a surprise to me, you Liu Xuande are "remembering" at this time?

Come to think of it. Sun Ce smiled at Liu Bei and said, "Xuande Gong finally 'remembered', this is really not easy, it's not easy!" ”

When Liu Bei heard it, he could hear the sarcasm in Sun Ce's words, and he was not the only one, almost everyone could hear the meaning of Sun Ce's words. But Liu Bei didn't say anything about this, or what else could he say, whatever Sun Ceai said, he had no power or strength, so he could only listen, or what else could he do.

After Liu Bei's subordinates heard this, many of them clenched their fists, but they couldn't attack-

And Liu Bei is not an ordinary person after all, although he is also extremely dissatisfied with Sun Ce, but he also endures it.

And after listening to Sun Ce's words, he also knew that he was right, so instead of expressing his dissatisfaction with Sun Ce, he smiled at Sun Ce: "I don't know what General Sun means about this?" ”

When Sun Ce heard this, he knew that everything was done in moderation, didn't Liu Bei do the same, although he pretended to be quite similar, but he immediately "revealed his original form". As for himself, he can sarcastically mock him openly and secretly, but he can't hold on to it, in that case, it is indeed not good for anyone, and it is not beneficial.

So he said at this time: "Cao Mengde, in order to appease the hearts of both you and me, and want to take over Xiangyang as soon as possible, so he promised to hand over Wuling to our army immediately, but he wanted to ask Xuande Gong about this matter?" ”

When Liu Bei heard this, if he didn't understand what Sun Ce was going to say, he would really be a fool. In his heart, he also suddenly realized, his heart said that this is the case, what Sun Bofu said is the problem of Wuling's belonging! ――

In fact, if you think about it, you have to say that Wuling was originally a place that he had occupied earlier, but in the end it was occupied by Cao Mengde's Yanzhou army.

And now Cao Cao wants Xiangyang, and that place is still occupied by his own side, so it is reasonable, no matter what Wuling says, it is his own. But looking at the current situation, there are some mistakes, and the key to this is his Sun Ce Sun Bofu.

Liu Beixin said that he should have thought of this a long time ago, but unfortunately he was slow to react. If you want to say that you think that Wuling should belong to you, but will he, Sun Bofu and those people in Jiangdongjun think so. A Xiangyang is already making them reluctant, if they give themselves another county, maybe what will happen to their Jiangdong Army.

However, shouldn't Wuling belong to himself, his grandson's? Is it from the Jiangdong Army?

Liu Bei has been thinking a lot about his efforts for a while, after all, no one will not think about things related to his own interests, it's just a matter of thinking too much or thinking less. And Liu Bei, of course, thinks a lot about this. It can also be said that he really did not want to give up the part of his interests that belonged to him so lightly.

Yes, Liu Bei also admitted it from the bottom of his heart. The fact that Sun Ce's Jiangdong Army contributed to the Sun and Liu coalition forces does not become a reason for him to give up his own interests. At least Liu Bei knew better in his heart that the previous Wuling was occupied by his own side, did your Jiangdong Army contribute?

And what about Xiangyang now, yes, your Jiangdong Army has contributed, but it was still occupied by yourself before. However, in the end, it was occupied by the Liangzhou army, and then by the Yanzhou army, and now it is a place occupied by itself. So are you Sun Bofu embarrassed to occupy Wuling? Anyway, Liu Bei didn't think Sun Ce should, he felt that he was the one who should be based on Wuling.

But in front of Sun Ce, he really didn't dare to say such a thing, and he didn't even dare to say it. Or he knew. It is estimated that if he really said so, it is estimated that the Sun and Liu coalition forces will also come to an end. And the Sun-Liu Alliance, it is estimated that it will be about the same, even if it is because of the Liangzhou Army and the Yanzhou Army, Sun Ce will not break with him immediately, but the estrangement is already there, the rift is getting bigger and bigger, and this alliance is falling apart. That's just a matter of time.

And if that's the case, then get a cheap one. can only be him, Ma Mengqi and Cao Mengde, and those who lose their interests are only

There is his own side and his grandson Uncle Fu Jiangdong Army's side. So Liu Bei knew in his heart that even if it was a real break, it would definitely not be today, and the future would be long, and sooner or later there would be a chance to liquidate these.

He Sun Bofu can suppress himself for a while, but can he suppress himself for a lifetime, at least he doesn't think so.

Liu Bei didn't answer Sun Ce's question at this time, because he thought that he couldn't express his position lightly at this time. So it's better to hide a little, it's better to ask him what Sun Bofu means, so he smiled at Sun Ce: "But I don't know what General Sun means?" ”

When Sun Ce heard this, he said Liu Xuande, you are an old fox, I asked you how you are, but at this time, you are the main anti-customer, and ask me what I think. But it's okay, I have to say it myself anyway, it's up to you to agree or not.

Sun Ce has confidence in himself, or he has confidence in the Jiangdong Army, and he has confidence in the strength of his own forces. At least he knew that he could suppress Liu Bei, relying on something, it was definitely not that his martial arts were higher than him Liu Xuande. It's that he has so many subordinates, so many people, and his territory is bigger than his Liu Xuande, that's it-

So Sun Ce didn't mean to hide his thoughts, after all, he was confident enough, because of his strength, he was confident.

At this time, I heard him say: "Xuande Gong, now Cao Mengde wants to hand over Wuling County to my coalition army, and my meaning is ......"

When Liu Bei heard this, he scolded his mother in his heart, and said in his heart that your Sun Bofu is too greedy, too greedy, and he actually dared to ask for so many county seats. There are only twelve counties in Wuling, and you have a mouth, and as soon as your upper lip touches your lower lip, you want to take six, you are daydreaming.

And what's even more hateful is that these six counties can definitely be said to be the six most important counties in Wuling, so Liu Bei can do it, even a fool can't do it, let alone him Liu Xuande.

And Liu Bei can be regarded as seeing it, this Sun Ce said so on purpose, what he cares about is those counties, and he also knows it in his heart. After all, the so-called "sky-high asking price, repaying the money on the spot", and now his grandson Bofu is asking for the sky, just waiting for himself to repay the money on the spot, and the two sides still have to talk-

Liu Bei is actually right, in Sun Ce's opinion, only three of his own side is enough. Of course, these three counties are the most critical places in Wuling, otherwise he wouldn't be able to look down on them.

Liu Bei also knew that he was not good at negotiation, so he asked Xu Shu to talk to Sun Ce. And Sun Ce saw that Liu Bei's side sent capable people, and he couldn't show weakness on his side, so he directly asked Zhou Yu to negotiate with Liu Bei's side instead of him.

This was before, negotiating with Cao Cao's Yanzhou army, after all, Cao Cao is an outsider, and Sun Liu is a party, so he can be said to be his own person for the time being. But at this time, Cao Cao's Yanzhou army had finished talking, so the outsiders were gone, and the rest of his own people had become outsiders, so another negotiation began. (To be continued......)
