Sun Jian sat in the big tent, with his arms open, and the golden silk brocade armor was also taken off and put aside, and there was a crack on it. The arrow was entangled in gold wire and failed to shoot through, and the location was between the chest and abdomen. A bamboo feather arrow was put aside, Sun Ce reached out to take it, and Sun Jian reminded: "Be careful, the arrow is poisonous." ”

Sun Ce took a closer look, and the copper arrowhead was dull and dull, obviously coated with something. In order to store more poison, the arrow cluster was also deliberately ground out of a groove, which may have reduced its strength and affected the penetration, he leaned over to the end of his nose and smelled it, there was a faint fishy smell, but he couldn't recognize what poison it was.

"Don't smell it, it's a five-step snake venom." Sun Jian gritted his teeth, and the fierce light was exposed. "You really look up to me Sun Jian, and he actually used such an expensive poison to deal with me."

Seeing that Sun Jian was unharmed, Sun Ce was completely relieved. He waved his hand and motioned for Zu Mao, Han Dang and the others to go out first. Zu Mao and Han Dang were shocked, shocked and angry, waiting for Sun Jian to order the killing, how could they leave easily, and seeing that Sun Jian also signaled them to go out, they bowed down and took the order.

"Aweng, what's going on?"

Sun Jian hesitated for a moment and sighed. "The horse was too fast, I was careless, I fell alone, and when I passed through Da Xian Mountain, I was attacked, and the other party was also in a bit of a hurry, and only shot three arrows, and I was hit by one arrow. If it weren't for this golden silk brocade armor, I would definitely die today. ”

"What about the Assassins?"

"Dead, suicide." Sun Jian punched down, the case cracked, and the stationery on the table fell to the ground. "Bo Fu, you say, what should we do to find out who is behind the scenes?"

Sun Ce sneered: "Then it goes without saying, the Xi family will definitely not be able to get out of the relationship, I will arrest them first and interrogate them one by one, I don't believe that they will not be recruited." ”

"I think so too." Sun Jian slapped his thigh. "Xi Zhu is so hateful, I trust him so much, but he treats me like this. I said how could he be so kind, and asked me to see the horses three times and twice. I thought he was courting me, but I didn't expect to arrange such a hand. The erector is hateful, and if I don't kill him, the whole family will not be able to solve the hatred in my heart. ”

"General, no." Zhou Yu followed, just when he heard Sun Jian's cruel words, he hurriedly stopped him.

Sun Jian's eyes were horizontal. "What, you still want to intercede for them?"

Sun Ce held Sun Jian's hand and motioned for him to be calm. Sun Jian exhaled twice and nodded reluctantly. Zhou Yu said: "The general is safe, that is lucky, as for the Xi family or other people, their family business is here, and they can't run away anyway." Why didn't the general deal with Xiangyang first, and then deal with them? Xiangyang Weike, Cao Cao's reinforcements are close at hand, and it will be very unfavorable for us to drag it out any longer. ”

"Although Cao Cao is brave, there are only 7,000 people, and Xiahou Yuan was killed in a battle, and the strikers were killed, where is the threat?"

Zhou Yu shook his head. "General, don't underestimate the enemy. Although Cao Cao only had 7,000 people, the two counties of Runan and Yingchuan were nearby, and I heard that the heroes in these two places supported Yuan Shao, and even the heroes in Nanyang were more inclined to Yuan Shao and refused to support Yuan Shu. If Yuan Shao sent someone to contact them, Cao Cao could get 10,000 people. ”

"Could it be so?"

"Does the general know that Nanyang celebrity He Boqiu?"

Sun Jian's face was a little embarrassed. He spent most of his time in the local area, and he had little education, so his knowledge of celebrities and scholars was very limited. He didn't understand, but Sun Ce understood it all at once. He Hao and He Boqiu are from Nanyang, and they are Yuan Shao's hardcore, among the Yuan brothers, he absolutely supports Yuan Shao and opposes Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu was very faceless because of this, and scolded He Hao for not knowing what to do. Zhou Yu's father, Zhou Yi, is Luoyang Ling, and he should have heard of He Hao and the attitude of Nanyang Haoqiang, and then from the predicament faced by Yuan Shu, it is logical to infer such a result.

He Boqiu became famous in Kyoto and was a representative of Nanyang Haoqiang, but he disdained to associate with the later general, and the relationship was very stiff. When the general is willing to serve Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance, he may be able to sit firmly in Nanyang, but now that the brothers are fighting, I am afraid that there are not many people in Nanyang who support him. As long as Yuan Shao sent one person to lobby, the three counties gathered more than 10,000 people to support Cao Cao and provided him with grain and grass baggage, and there was no problem at all. ”

Sun Jian suddenly understood. "No wonder Yuan Shao went to Hebei by himself, but let General Hou come to Nanyang, originally he already knew that once he turned his face, General Hou would be difficult to gain a foothold in Nanyang."

"What the general said is very true."

Sun Ce was also shocked. To be honest, he hadn't thought about it so deeply before. If Zhou Yu's analysis was true, then Yuan Shao had already prepared and didn't give Yuan Shu a chance at all. No wonder Yuan Shu was forced to leave Nanyang later, and he failed to occupy Runan and Yingchuan, but went to the relatively remote Yangzhou.

"That'...... What does Gong Jin mean? ”

"If you want to gain a foothold in Nanyang, you must take Xiangyang." Zhou Yu glanced at Sun Ce intentionally or unintentionally, and then said: "All battles must be implemented on the battlefield in the end, as long as victory is achieved on the battlefield, even if Nanyang's heroes are inclined to Yuan Shao, they will not dare to act rashly." The same is true for Xiangyang, as long as the general conquers Xiangyang, the heroes of Xiangyang dare not speak out even if they have different ambitions. ”

Sun Jian nodded again and again. Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu, surprised and delighted. He knew that Zhou Yu had insight, but all along, Zhou Yu had not shown his true edge. Now that the opportunity has come, Zhou Yu keenly seized the opportunity and performed better than he expected.

Sun Ce smiled and encouraged: "Gong Jin, if you have any suggestions, just tell the general." ”

"Whoa." Zhou Yu understood, bowed, and said: "The reason why Xiangyang has not been able to attack for a long time is that I lack experience and deploy improperly. First, Xiangyang City is indeed strong, and Kuaiyue is also tightly guarded. If you attack strongly, the loss will inevitably be not small, and the advantage in the face of Cao Cao will be limited. Since someone assassinated the general, it was better to plan the plan, show weakness to the enemy, lure Kuai Yue out of the city, and annihilate him in the field battle. ”

Sun Ce groaned: "What if Kuai Yue still refuses to go out of the city? ”

Zhou Yu smiled. "If Kuai Yue refuses to go out of the city, then concentrate the superior forces, and before Cao Cao's reinforcements arrive, defeat Cao Cao, stabilize Nanyang, and break Kuai Yue's thoughts."

Sun Ce also smiled, smiling very happily. He was most worried that Zhou Yu was in a hurry, and now it seems that Zhou Yu is in no hurry at all.

Zhou Yu saw it in his eyes, understood Sun Ce's intentions, and bowed his head slightly.

At this time, Han Dang rushed in. "General, General Hou was defeated by Cao Cao in Xinye, and the envoy is outside the tent, please meet the general immediately."

Sun Ce was taken aback. "What, Shinno? How could Yuan Shu be in Xinye, what was he doing so fast, learning from Xiahou Yuan? ”

"Bo Fu, don't be unreasonable!" Sun Jian and Zhou Yu shouted in unison, and before the words fell, a scribe pushed the tent in, glanced coldly at the people in the tent, and finally his eyes fell on Sun Ce's face, and said in a non-yin and non-yang manner: "Does Captain Sun hope that General Hou is in the same place as Xiahou Yuan?" ”
