The shock in Wei Zhen's heart was incomprehensible, and there was a feeling of being seen through at a glance.

Some of these people are well-known, some are not, but none of them can escape Sun Ce's eyes, and before they set off, Sun Ce mastered their movements. Just now He Hao and Yuan Tan said that their efforts were in vain, and he didn't believe it very much, but now that he saw this list, he knew that He Hao and Yuan Tan were not wrong, and there was really no chance of sending people to rob prisoners.

"This ......"

"Don't be in a hurry to deny it, otherwise it will be an insult to my mind." Sun Ce put his hands behind his back and paced slowly. "Chen Gongtai is a rare wise man, Cao Zixiao, Yu Wenze and others are rare good generals, and they are also loyal and righteous people, with your support, Cao Zixiu could have done a career, meritorious service, and the town side, it is not difficult, but his assistance to Yuan Shao is really a big failure. In this regard, Cao Mengde, the father, did a very inauthentic job, he got out of it, but left his son in the fire pit. ”

Wei Zhen was speechless. He also felt that Cao Cao had done a very bad job. Although Cao Ang is also considered to be the best among the younger generation, he is too difficult to be the enemy of Sun Ce. Having made the Yanzhou Assassination as he wished does not mean that he can truly control Yanzhou and develop his own power. With Yuan Shao's suspicious character, he will not let Cao Ang sit with peace of mind.

"Things gather by like, people by groups, from family background to age, to temperament, Cao Zixiu and I can be regarded as a class of people. Isn't it a pity that he doesn't join hands with me and fight for the cold family, but wants to hug Yuan Shao's thigh and work hard for the wealthy family? Chen Gongtai is so smart, doesn't he know the truth of cunning to avoid death and lackey cooking? Cao Zixiu can become the Yanzhou Assassin, the first person to be grateful to me is me, if I am defeated by Yuan Shao, how long do you think he can be the Yanzhou Assassin? ”

Wei Zhen closed his mouth and didn't say a word, but his heart was turning over the river and the sea. Sun Ce is right, the Cao family is not from a good background, Yuan Shao did not treat Cao Cao as a confidant from the beginning, in his eyes, Cao Cao is an eagle dog. Cao Cao is like this, and Cao Ang is no exception. Now that Yuan Tan has been defeated and Cao Ang has taken over as the assassin of Yanzhou, Yuan Shao is more helpless, because the people of Dongjun support Cao Ang, and the people of Yanzhou support Cao Cao, which is tantamount to coercion.

Yuan Shao is not a person who can tolerate coercion, and when he is ready, Cao Ang will definitely be punished. If Sun Ce, a strong enemy, is defeated, Cao Ang will have no place to stay. Chen Gong also knew this, so he asked Cao Ang to do everything possible to strengthen himself and build up enough strength before Sun Ce perished, so that Yuan Shao would not dare to act rashly.

But this is clearly a very risky decision. Chen Gong didn't say it, but Wei Zhen guessed that Chen Gong never wanted Sun Ce to perish too quickly. One more day for Sun Ce to live, one more chance for Cao Ang.

Wei Zhen was suddenly startled. If this conjecture is true, then Chen Gong spent money to hire Ranger Er just for show, so that people can see that Cao Ang is worried about He Hao and Mrs. Ding, but in fact he does not expect to succeed. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, and he couldn't help but feel ashamed and a little angry. He was Cao Ang's messenger, but Chen Gong did not tell him the truth, making him lose face in front of Sun Ce.

"Oh, there is one more thing I want to tell you, Xin Gezhi went to Jingzhou and was a guest under the curtain of Zhou Gongjin."

Wei Zhen's heart tightened again. Xinbi surrendered to Sun Ce? Then Cao Ang's chances of defeating Sun Ce are even smaller. Although Chen Gong is wise, he has no advantage over Xinbi.

"Thank you, General, I will definitely return to Cao Yanzhou truthfully. General, may I ask a question? ”

"You say."

"What are you going to do with He Boqiu?" Wei Zhen said: "Specifically, will you kill him?" ”

Sun Ce smiled. "I don't have any plans to kill him yet. I'd rather punish my heart than kill someone. Of course, he had to pay enough for his assassination of me. Jing Ke assassinated Qin Shi Huang, paid the national honor of Fan Yuzhi and Yan State, he assassinated me, where is enough to pay for a life. ”

Wei Zhen chuckled in his heart. Sun Ce was talking about He Hao, but he always felt that Sun Ce's meaning was more directed at Cao Ang. The matter of the prisoner robbery has been leaked before it can be done, and it has no meaning except to arouse Sun Ce's anger and bury the lives of Mrs. Ding and Cao Ying.

This must be stopped immediately.

——

Langya, Kaiyang.

A four-wheeled carriage with an unpretentious appearance stopped on the official road. The coachman stood beside the car, adjusting the reins of his horse. Ten knights led their horses and stood silently, waiting for the order to go.

Tao Qian took Jiang Gan's hand, wanted to open his mouth several times, and when the words came to his mouth, he finally turned into a light sigh. After months of fighting, he was exhausted, his face had many more wrinkles, and his sideburns were more than half gray, as if he was several years older. The years are unforgiving, and he usually doesn't feel it, but the few months of war made him realize that he was no longer what he used to be, and it was no longer the age when he didn't take staying up late seriously during the Western Expedition. Even if he didn't sleep well in the middle of the night, he would not be able to lift his spirits for several days in a row. But when he was asked to go to sleep, he couldn't sleep, and often lay in bed and waited for the dawn.

Jiang Gan spent months with Tao Qian, and his worries were clear. He held Tao Qian's hand with his backhand. "Tao Gong, don't worry. I dare not guarantee that General Sun will meet your request, but I dare to guarantee that General Sun will not sit idly by. He will definitely help you recover Xiapi and Guangling. ”

"As long as I have the assistance of General Sun, I will definitely be able to defeat Liu He and recover Xiapi and Guangling." Tao Qian said earnestly: "I don't dare to ask too much, I just hope that he can provide me with some food and armaments." I also know that although he repelled Yuan Tan, the loss was not small, and he was injured again, so it would be difficult for him to fight again for a while. ”

Jiang Gan smiled. Tao Qian wanted to form an alliance with Sun Ce, but he was also worried about being eaten by Sun Ce, no wonder he was restless.

"I will definitely convey Tao Gong's intentions to General Sun. However, Tao Gong, I have a word to tell, and I hope Tao Gong will not be presumptuous. ”

Tao Qian's face sank, a little displeased. "Ziyi, you don't know who I am, why are you so polite?"

"Of course, Tao Gong is generous, he will not blame me, I am too careful." Jiang Gan smiled and arched his hand. "Tao Gong, you are a hero in your life, admired by the world. But you can't spoil your son too much, let go when it's time to let go, let them suffer when you should let them suffer, if you don't let them go through the battlefield, how can they grow? Will you still charge into battle in another ten years, but let them sit in the rear? ”

Tao Qian's eyes flashed slightly, and he understood what Jiang Gan meant. "You are right, this time the dog guarded the martial arts, and the fight was still good. It's time for them to do their work, and they can't let me, an old man, do everything. He paused, then sighed again. Sun Wentai is so blessed, with a good child like Sun Bofu, my two sons are really shameless compared to him. Alas, it's me, the godson who is a father, who has no way, and let them fight with Sun Bofu Maybe they can still have some success. After all, this world is their deer field, I'm old, it's time to make fun of my grandson. Ziyi, when you pass through Tanxian, take Bo Yun with you and let him go to Runan with you to open your eyes. ”

Jiang Gan readily agreed.
