Seeing that Yang Hong and Sun Ce had broken down in a few words, Yan Xiang hurriedly separated them. "Civilization, Sun Lang, you all lose your anger, now is not the time to be vindictive. Sun Lang, the military situation is urgent, Yang Wenming is worried about the deterioration of the situation, and he does not choose to say anything for a while, not disrespectful to Ling Zun. Civilization, you too, Sun Lang did not hesitate to live and die to save General Yuan, and his loyalty to General Yuan can be seen by the sun and the moon. ”

The corners of Yang Hong's eyes twitched, and he turned his head in a huff, snorting heavily, like an enraged bull.

Sun Ce's eyes sneered. He had already understood what Yan Xiang and Yang Hong meant. There is no doubt about the need to reinforce Wuguan, but they didn't just come to him for this matter, behind which there was a hidden intention to seize his military power. The baggage battalion is his killer weapon, and if the baggage battalion is transferred to Chen Yu's subordinates, Chen Yu and Qiao Rui will take this opportunity to make war exploits and be able to suppress him. It would be even more perfect if he turned his subordinates Huang Zhong and others against one or two.

Ridiculous, right? Not ridiculous at all. Sun Jian, as a pastor of Yuzhou, already has the strength to be on an equal footing with Yuan Shu, and he has made great contributions to saving Yuan Shu this time. If Yuan Shu didn't die, Yuan Shu's character would definitely reward him heavily. At that time, their father and son have a heavy army, and the tail is invincible, who can balance them? As confidants, Yan Xiang and Yang Hong must consider such a possibility and nip the danger in the bud.

But Sun Ce couldn't have cooperated with them like this. He was not a loyal servant, not in the past, not now, and not in the future. He didn't save Yuan Shu because of loyalty, at most it was righteousness, it was the kind of righteousness between friends who had similar temperaments, not the righteousness of monarchs and ministers.

Want to steal my work? Get out of the way. Don't talk about you, even Yuan Shulai can't do it. I can save him from Cao Cao, but if he wants to disadvantage me, then I don't mind cutting him down now.

Loyalty to me is like a floating cloud.

Yan Xiang smiled bitterly: "Sun Lang, Lao Ziyun: Holding on to it is not as good as that; If you are sharp, you can't keep it for a long time. Shiyun: People have many words, but they can also be afraid. Zun Father and Son are loyal, the general knows, we also know, and we will never doubt it, but General Zun Sun has led Yuzhou, if you have heavy troops, it is inevitable that some people will think that your father and son will fight against General Yuan, and they are at a loss, each with their own thoughts. At this time of life and death, we can't ignore the overall situation and act willfully. ”

Sun Ce squinted at Yan Xiang. This is a singing red face, and the other is singing a white face. You probably don't know that Yuan Shu gave me the bottom before that, and someone suggested that he should guard against our father and son. At that time, Yang Hong was still in the city, and the strategist beside Yuan Shu was you Yan Xiang, who else could there be besides you? Now pretend to be a peacemaker for me, hehe, you're stupid to me.

However, if you want to act, I'll accompany you to act, are you afraid that you won't succeed?

"Sir...... It also makes sense. Sun Ce slowed down. Although Cao Cao was beaten away and Wancheng was recovered, Nanyang Haoqiang was not small, in case they joined forces with Dong Zhuo and fought against the water again, it would be a big trouble. Alas, by the way, two gentlemen, there is something I would like to ask you about, what are you going to do with these traitors? ”

Yang Hong's face suddenly turned red, and his momentum was frustrated. It was his responsibility to lose Wancheng, and Sun Ce was slapping him in the face by raising this issue now, and he was justified in the beating. Beware of Sun Ce is to prevent trouble before it happens, so why didn't you guard against those heroes in the first place, let them cooperate with the inside and outside, and seize Wancheng.

"General Sun, there are meritorious rewards, there are punishments, this is common sense, although I Yang Hong is stupid, but I don't dare to hide the wrongdoing, blame others. When the general wakes up, I will naturally go and ask for guilt, and I don't bother the general. ”

Sun Ce smiled, the smile was fake, and it was undisguised fake. "Reward and punish, that is General Yuan's power, I don't want to interfere, so as not to be criticized again. Mr. Yang, what I'm asking is how do you prepare to deal with Nanyang Haoqiang's internal worries? ”

Yang Hong changed color and said: "I don't know what General Sun's high opinion is, do you want to kill them all?" You've ruined their homes......"

"Ahh "Yang Changshi, please pay attention to your words. That's right, I hit a few estates, but that was on the orders of General Yuan, not my own business. And it's not me alone, there are many people who have more merit than me, as long as you are willing to ask, it should not be difficult to know the details. Isn't it too much for you to put all the blame on me? ”

Yang Hong was speechless. He glared at Yan Xiang fiercely and walked away.

Yan Xiang was very embarrassed. He originally discussed with Yang Hong that he wanted to join forces to make Sun Ce bow down and obey his orders, but he didn't think that as soon as Sun Ce provoked with a few words, Yang Hong was enraged. It's not a shame to be ashamed, the children of the dignified Hongnong Yang family read poetry and books, but they were stimulated by a teenager and made a mess.

However, Sun Ce's words were indeed insidious, not only hitting Yang Hong's weakness at once, but also pointing out the crux of the problem.

What to do with those powerful families?

The Nanyang family Haoqiang originally had no good impression of Yuan Shu, but Yuan Shu was quite restrained at that time, and everyone did not interfere with the river water, and they were safe. Now that Nanyang Haoqiang betrayed Yuan Shu first, and Yuan Shu ordered people to attack their manor later, the two sides have become fire and water, and the last skin has been torn, and it is impossible to return to the previous state. If Yuan Shu was awake, he might have already started killing people.

But Yan Xiang and Yang Hong strongly opposed this approach. Killing people not only can not solve the problem, but will intensify the contradiction, and when the time comes, it will not only be these heroes in the city who will be the enemy of Yuan Shu, but the heroes of the entire Nanyang and even the whole world, even if Yuan Shu has such a good general as the father and son of the Sun family, it will be difficult to protect it.

Who can fight against the whole world?

However, I am afraid that it will not work without killing. The homeland was destroyed, the tribe was taken away, and the family became slaves, and the hearts of these powerful families were full of resentment. If you want to appease their resentment, you must at least return their things to them, but those things have been taken by the generals as their own, let them spit it out again, believe it or not, betray Yuan Shu together?

In contrast, Sun Ce was the most stable. The manor he attacked was limited, He Xian and Xu You were not in Wancheng, and no one troubled Sun Ce.

Yan Xiang looked at Sun Ce with a smile on his face, and his heart was suddenly shocked. This little shaft couldn't have expected this situation in the first place, no wonder when he asked him to provide a stone thrower to help the generals attack the manor, he was so good at talking, just charging each group of craftsmen 10,000 yuan a day, so happy that everyone couldn't believe it.

The more Yan Xiang thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, and a burst of cold air rose up his back. If this is the case, then Sun Ce's scheming is simply unfathomable, not only Yuan Shu and the generals, but even he, a person who claims to be a wise man, has been counted, and it is too late to get out now.

Yan Xiang was silent for a long time, barely calming down. "Sun Lang, in your opinion, how should you deal with those people?"

Sun Ce yawned. "Sir, this can stop me, I am full of slander now, I can't protect myself, where do I dare to have any opinions. Sir, I fought hard all day yesterday, and now I am tired and hungry, and my wound still hurts, and I really don't have the energy to talk to him. Sir, please come back, and I'll be out of company. Shiyuan, send-off. ”

Yan Xiang's face was red and white for a while, so he had to laugh twice and turn around to leave. He had just taken two steps when Sun Ce said again, "Sir, stay here." ”

Yan Xiang hurriedly turned around. "Sun Lang, you say."

"You go to the baggage camp to have a look, if anyone is willing to go, you can take it away, I won't stop you."

Yan Xiang's eyebrows trembled slightly, and his eyes showed a little gratitude. "Thank you, Sun Lang."
