The meeting was very successful, and Guo Jia's meticulous explanation not only won the heartfelt approval of Mrs. Ding, but even He Hao and Zhang Miao felt that it was very reasonable. Yuan Shao seems to be strong, but his strength is only superficial, temporary, more than formal, and the potential is insufficient, and in the long run, Yuan Shao's prospects are worrying.

Yuan Shao himself is not a mediocre talent, and he also has wise strategists like Fu Zhi and Tian Feng around him, so it is impossible not to see this. They will definitely persuade Yuan Shao to seize the fighter and solve Sun Ce while the advantage still exists. However, it was risky to do so, Yuan Shao was attacked on all sides, and it was difficult for him to go all out and personally lead the army south. The most likely option is to let Cao Ang assassinate Yanzhou and let Cao Ang contain Sun Ce, while he himself waits for a better opportunity.

Whether Yuan Shao can wait for the opportunity is anyone's guess, but it is a definite fact that Cao Ang will become the knife in Yuan Shao's hands. Not only Cao Ang, but also Zhang Miao, who owns Chen Liu, will also face a choice: should he follow Yuan Shao's orders to attack Sun Ce, or cooperate with Sun Ce and break with Yuan Shao?

The pros and cons are clear, but the choice is not easy. After all, Yuan Shao's strength is here. He may not be able to defeat Sun Ce for a while, but it will be easy to take Chen Liu. Sun Ce asked Guo Jia to explain the situation in front of them, hoping that Zhang Miao could think in the long run and not be frightened by Yuan Shao. Before Yuan Shao's envoy arrived, he still had time to think carefully.

Compared with Zhang Miao, Mrs. Ding is not so calm. After listening to Guo Jia's words, she couldn't wait to set off for Dongping immediately.

At the time of farewell, Yuan Quan took Mrs. Ding's hand and euphemistically revealed a meaning: although he was an opponent, Sun Ce admired Cao Ang very much and intended to marry the Cao family, but now the situation is special, and marrying with the Cao family will only harm Cao Ang, so this matter can only be let go first.

Mrs. Ding was grateful.

got into the car, Sun Ce was injured and got into the car first. Guo Jia was about to get into the car, Zhang Chao came over, asked Guo Jia to be in the same car with their brother, and asked him for advice. Guo Jia asked Sun Ce and followed Zhang Chao. Sun Ce was about to close the door when He Hao walked over.

"The old man has a few words, and he wants to whisper to the general, is it okay?"

Sun Ce smiled. It seems that Brother Zhang Miao's question is false, at least secondary, and it is true that He Hao has something to say to him. "It's an honor." Sun Ce bowed and gestured. "He Gong, I'm injured and rude."

"It doesn't matter." He Hao pulled the car door and jumped up with an arrow, which surprised Sun Ce. This old man was still half dead just now, why is he so energetic now? He Hao sat down opposite Sun Ce, closed the car door, wiped his left hand back, and held the scabbard on his waist, and the whole person was like a long sword about to be unsheathed, with a power that was not revealed.

Sun Ce raised his eyebrows, his fingers subconsciously picked, and then relaxed again, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He Hao said coldly: "Although the old man is over sixty years old, his skills have not yet fallen, and three or five people are not close. ”

Sun Ce nodded, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became thicker. "I heard that He Gong once competed with Tiger Ben Wang Yue, and they were on par."

"Aren't you worried about me?" He Hao's gaze swept to Sun Ce's legs. "I know you have a leg injury that you can't move again."

Sun Ce laughed silently and waved his hand. "Okay, He Gong, why do you want to kill people with so much nonsense. You are also a person who has been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes all your life, is it interesting to use this method to test me? Not to mention your current age, even if you are forty years younger, you are not my opponent. ”

"Really?" He Hao's gray eyebrows furrowed. "You...... Where does the confidence come from? ”

Sun Ce couldn't help but laugh out loud. This sentence was asked by He Hao before, and the old man couldn't swallow this breath, and now he returned the same words. He raised his right hand and admired himself. "Strength. With bare hands, if you have one more hand, I will give you no chance to draw your sword. ”

He Hao stared at Sun Ce for a long time, and the corners of his mouth twitched. "Young man, it's frivolous." As he spoke, he slowly untied the sword belt around his waist and rested it on the case between the two. He had been holding it back just now, but now he couldn't help coughing, coughing a few times in succession, and coughing made his face flush ominously. Sun Ce frowned slightly, and reached out to pat He Hao's back.

"He Gong, why are you so troubled, and no one says that you ......"

Before the words fell, He Hao suddenly stretched out his left hand, clasped Sun Ce's right shoulder, held the hilt of the sword on the case with his right hand, and sent it forward, and the scabbard slid forward, revealing a sword blade more than a foot long, which was pressing on Sun Ce's neck.

Sun Ce didn't move, raised his eyebrows, and looked at He Hao quietly.

"Are you still confident?" He Hao stared at Sun Ce, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

Sun Ce slowly retracted his right hand, pushed away the long sword in He Hao's hand, put his hands together, and leaned back against the wall of the car. "Thank you for the teachings of Gong He, I will definitely stay away from your party members in the future, and I will not give you a chance to get close. Even if I see you die, I will never stretch out a finger to help. ”

The smugness on He Hao's face suddenly turned into embarrassment, and he put away his long sword in a sneering manner. "The general misunderstood, I didn't mean to hurt you......"

"I know that He Gong's intention is nothing more than to prove that you have the ability to kill me, and by the way, to prove that the party members are not as weak as I think. But I want to ask He Gong. Sun Ce smacked his lips with a look of disdain. If I treat you as an enemy, do you have a chance to get close? ”

He Hao thought about it and shook his head. "Not really."

"You see, if you are really regarded as enemies, you will not even have a chance to get close. All you can hurt is people who believe in you, such as the Son of Heaven, a great general, such as Dong Zhuo, such as me. ”

He Hao frowned and stared at Sun Ce deadly, a trace of pain flashing in his eyes. "General...... Juxtaposed with Dong Zhuo, don't you think the allusion is inappropriate? ”

"In your hearts, is there any difference between me and Dong Zhuo? They are all martial artists, they don't know the way of sages, and the most important thing is that they are not party members. The only difference is that he is bent on currying favor with your partymen, while I don't have a good opinion of yours. To your party members, I may not be as good as Dong Zhuo. Sun Ce crooked his mouth, but he didn't smile. So Dong Zhuo is dead, and I'm still alive. ”

Undisguised disappointment crossed He Hao's eyes. "I don't expect the general to have such a deep prejudice against our people."

"Isn't that the truth what I'm talking about? You tried to assassinate Dong Zhuo, but did you succeed? Do you regret refusing Dong Zhuo's courtesy now and not making his long history? If you make a long history of him, you may have a chance to succeed, although not very well. You see, didn't Wang Yun succeed? You see, Emperor Xiaohuan trusted you, and as a result, Emperor Xiaohuan became a faint monarch. General He trusts you, and General He died unexpectedly. Dong Zhuo trusts you, Dong Zhuo is in a different place. If I trust you, what will happen to me? He Gong, your glorious deeds tell me to cherish life and stay away from the party. ”

He Hao's face was pale, he sat motionless for a moment, slowly got up, took the long sword on the case, and drew the sword out of its sheath.

"In that case, then I can't keep you!"

As he spoke, a sword stabbed out and went straight to Sun Ce's heart.
