Sun Ce was really a little anxious at this time, and he was even more depressed in his heart.

As for why this is so, isn't it because Liu Bei is unwilling to compromise with him. In Sun Ce's opinion, today's Liu Bei can be said to be more difficult than any previous time, making it a little difficult for him to resist. But fortunately, he is not afraid of him, but what is the reason for him to be like this, this is what Sun Ce is thinking about at this time.

To be honest, with the strength of both sides, Sun Ce really didn't think that Liu Bei could have any confidence to compete with him. But now that the facts are here, he Liu Xuande still hasn't compromised with himself, he hasn't softened at all, he's still wrestling with himself, which means that he has to drag himself, or what the situation is.

Although Sun Ce didn't expect it, he said that as soon as he and Liu Bei proposed the next step in the army, Liu Bei immediately compromised with him, and then gave himself a lot of benefits, and finally both sides were happy, and then the coalition army entered Wuling. Sun Ce didn't think it was so simple at all, but now he found that he still underestimated him Liu Bei Liu Xuande, which was different from what he thought-

But isn't it, first Zhou Yu sang and harmonized with himself, saying that he was going to enter Jiangxia. Then Xu Shu, and then Liu Ba, all said that they wanted to enter Wuling. Later, he tried his best to overcome public opinion, and also said that going to Jiangxia would be beneficial to his side. In the end, he asked Liu Bei, but Liu Bei was very cunning, and he thought he was going to compromise with himself. But no, not only did they not compromise, but now they are starting to go around in circles with themselves, and they used to talk about entering the army, but now they are involved in other things.

So Sun Ce can not be anxious, can he not be depressed, he doesn't know. What kind of confidence does Liu Bei have to compete with himself? If he wants to have no power, he wants to have no strength. How to compete with yourself. But now this matter, I have to let myself think like this, he Liu Bei can be like this, isn't there something to rely on?

It's no wonder that Sun Ce thinks so. At least Liu Bei before. Although he didn't compromise with Sun Ce lightly, the last time was not that he gave in early. But now that I look at it, it's not the same as before. So this has to make Sun Ce wonder if there is something on Liu Bei's side that he doesn't know-

He can't blame Sun Ce for thinking too much, after all, he really doesn't know why Liu Bei became like this.

If he knew that Liu Bei was forced to be like this by him, he would have understood. Won't think about it anymore. But he didn't know, so he had to think about it.

In fact, Sun Ce's idea is also simple. You said that you Liu Bei wants territory, not as big as yourself, you don't have more people and horses, and you don't want generals, but you don't have as many subordinates. So he didn't think that Liu Bei had anything to compare to his own. If you have to say that he Liu Xuande can surpass himself, then there is one that is obvious, that is, his surname Liu Xuande is Liu, and he is the imperial uncle recognized by the Son of Heaven, at least Sun Ce knows that this self is not as good as him Liu Xuande.

He Liu Bei and Liu Xuande are genuine Han clan relatives, and Sun Ce understands this, but he can't compare to Liu Bei's advantage. But if Liu Bei dared to argue with himself because of this, he didn't believe that he killed Sun Ce. But now, how to explain Liu Bei's abnormal behavior, is he really holding on there? ――

If you want to say that this is not the case, but Liu Bei is like this, how do you explain it? But if it's like this, it doesn't feel like it, so Sun Ce doesn't understand it a little, he is a little confused by Liu Bei.

However, what he can't see doesn't mean that others can't see it, at least Zhou Yu is an understanding person, and he still knows more or less what Liu Bei thinks in his heart. So he just smiled at it, and he didn't say much else.

Although Zhou Yu also saw the doubts in his lord's heart, he didn't say anything to Sun Ce, not even a look. In Zhou Yu's opinion, his father-in-law must be able to understand Liu Bei's meaning in the end, and he, Liu Xuande, must finally compromise with his father-in-law and himself, so he is not in a hurry about this.

As for saying that his lord is in a hurry, what is this, anyway, after a while, Liu Bei will definitely not be able to support it first, so as long as his lord supports it for a while, then it will be fine-

Sure enough, just when the two were chatting and chatting, Sun Ce was a little impatient, Liu Bei suddenly changed his words, "Don't hide it from General Sun, let the coalition soldiers enter Wuling, but Bei is also a little selfish!" ”

When Sun Ce heard this, he almost didn't stand up, and said in his heart Liu Xuande, Liu Xuande, do you finally want to compromise, do you know how long I, Sun Bofu, have been waiting for you? Isn't that the case, Sun Ce thought that Liu Bei was going to compromise before, but it turned out that Liu Bei had said something about entering the army before, and then he began to go around in circles, and Sun Ce had nothing to do with him. But at this time, it's okay, at least in Sun Ce's opinion, he Liu Xuande admitted it, and admitted that it was beneficial for him to enter Wuling, and Wuling was his.

So as soon as you Liu Xuande admit that you have selfish intentions, then it will be much easier, the coalition soldiers enter Wuling, it is your territory, so since you are going to help you, should you Liu Xuande come up with some benefits, or are you embarrassed to let yourself send troops.

This is Sun Ce's thoughts, at least he knows very well that Liu Bei is selfish when he says it now and enters the Wuling Tomb. Then you can directly say that he is going to negotiate terms with himself, instead of going around in circles like before. I don't compromise with myself.

When Sun Ce heard this, he raised his eyebrows, and then asked, "I don't know what Xuande Gong said, but how did he say it?" ”

Liu Beixin said, but you Sun Bofu asked knowingly, aren't you waiting for this sentence from me Liu Xuande. Is there something wrong with this?

General Sun also knew that Nawuling was a force of Bei, so now Cai Meng's Yanzhou army was wreaking havoc in his place. Bei also really wants to keep Wuling County, so he discussed with the general, can he send troops to Wuling? ”

It's all at this time, of course Liu Bei will say whatever he wants. No way. It must be admitted. Sun Ce said the last sentence and said the next sentence himself, so even if he could hold on to it before, but if he could hold it for a while, could he last for a lifetime, so he still had to compromise with others after all, but now he has supported it for a long time.

When Sun Ce heard this, he said in his heart. Didn't you Liu Xuande have to compromise in the end?

So he came out with a look of embarrassment, "This." Xuande Gong, I won't tell you, Jiangxia is also the place I want to capture, if this is really to send troops to Wuling, but I don't know when our army will be able to enter Jiangxia? ”――

Liu Beixin said, your Sun Bofu is really, this is trying to give me benefits in a roundabout way, I still don't understand this.

In Liu Bei's thoughts, Sun Ce didn't need to be like this at all, no matter what, he knew and understood what Sun Ce meant.

But now, although Sun Ce didn't say anything directly, the meaning was already clear, so Liu Bei naturally wouldn't say it, so he said, "General Sun, Bei also knows this, so the meaning of Bei is ......"

Then, Liu Bei promised Sun Ce a lot of benefits, a lot of good things, of course, Liu Bei definitely did not make Sun Cekong happy, but real, and he would definitely not give it to him.

As for Sun Ce, after hearing Liu Bei's promise, although he didn't have much joy on the surface, he was happy in his heart. After all, it is necessary to enter the Wuling Tomb, but if you can get so many benefits from Liu Bei, it is also what you hope for. If it weren't for any good, you let yourself do it, and you were really unwilling, but now it's much better, much better.

However, Sun Ce did not rush to conclusions about this, and agreed or disagreed, but looked at Zhou Yu. To say that Zhou Yu, as the first strategist under Sun Ce's account, is naturally very valued by Sun Ce, and almost everything, Sun Ce has to consult with him. So Liu Bei's matter is naturally no exception.

As for Zhou Yu, after listening to what Liu Bei said, he saw that his lord was looking at him. And what does his lord mean, can he still not understand, so he gave his lord a look, and Sun Ce naturally understood.

So he said to Liu Bei, "Xuande Gong, this matter will be handed over to Gong Jin, so Xuan De Gong should talk to Gong Jin." ”

When Liu Bei heard this, he said in his heart, okay, his side has just been expelled, and your Sun Bofu will be transferred to Zhou Yu. But what else can I say, say I don't agree? Is it possible? "People are under the eaves, and they have to bow their heads", ah, I admit it, really.

At this time, he was full of smiles and said, "It's okay, so it's General Yisun!" ”

However, in his heart, he secretly scolded Sun Ce, but on the surface, he still couldn't show anything abnormal-

So Zhou Yu said to Liu Bei at this time, "Xuande Gong, please!" ”

Liu Bei could only smile, and then started bargaining with Zhou Yu, so to speak. In fact, it is nothing more than that both sides are striving for more and greater benefits for each other, and in the end, the two finally got together. After all, both sides intend to go south to Wuling, and this is the most basic, so there is such a foundation. It can be said that the negotiation between the two was quite smooth.

Liu Bei knew in his heart that if he didn't want to give Sun Ce benefits, he would let him agree to join the army. It's absolutely impossible. But if you can spend some benefits, let it do it, then it's still worth it. Even if he gave a lot of benefits this time, no matter what, he was successful in getting him to send troops, and he went south to Wuling to deal with Cao Mengde together. This is more important to me than anything else.

As for Sun Ce. That's simpler, if you want benefits, Liu Bei gave them. And he gave a lot, so that's enough, after all, he is also preparing to enter Wuling-

In the end, both sides should be happy, after all, their respective goals have been achieved. Isn't this something that makes both parties happy?

And Sun Ce said at this time. "Xuande Gong, since this is the case, then today our army will rest for another day, and tomorrow, our army will go south to Wuling, do you think it is good?"

Liu Bei couldn't wait to go to Wuling as soon as possible, after all, if he went a day earlier, he would face Cao Mengde's Yanzhou army earlier. Then it's more good for yourself, isn't it.

So he hurriedly said. "One qiē is General Yisun, so good!"

Sun Ce nodded, he actually wanted to go to Cao Cao's Yanzhou army early, but it was really before, there were not too many confrontations. On the contrary, it is Liu Bei, he is very familiar with the Yanzhou army, even if he has been defeated repeatedly, but after that, he has been defeated again and again, so his experience in dealing with the Yanzhou army is the richest-

In the end, this matter was settled, Sun Ce and Liu Bei joined forces, and after resting in Xiangyang for another day, they led their troops south, which was to Wuling.

Wuling, Linyuan City, Cao Cao Since he learned about the situation in Fangling and Xiangyang, he ordered Yu Ban to attack the city at any cost. Although Yu Ban didn't know why his lord had to be like this, but since it was the lord's order, of course he couldn't disobey it, so as soon as he was like this, Huo Jun suddenly felt pressured.

For three days in a row, Huo Jun felt that the pressure on his body was getting bigger and bigger, although Yu Ban was not crazy, but it was also fast. And Huo Junxin said that if it really goes on like this, it may not be impossible for Linyuan City to be destroyed in a few days. After all, there are still too few soldiers on his side, and there are so many people in the family, it's not a waste.

After three more days of fighting, he didn't take Linyuan, but Cao Cao was not satisfied with the ban, but Lejin's arm injury was not good, so he could only use it for the ban, even if he was not the most suitable general in his heart to lead the troops to attack the city, but now, at this time, he is the most suitable for him to ban Yu Wenze-

Cao Cao has not told his subordinates about the loss of Fangling and Xiangyang until now, and he is also worried, I am afraid that this will affect everyone's feelings, and even more so will affect the morale of the army. After all, Fangling and Xiangyang, no matter which city is lost, it is not a trivial matter for oneself, let alone the loss of two cities.

The key is that once Xiangyang is lost, there will be no way for your own retreat, and there are enemy troops on all sides, so even if your generals can be better, how can your own soldiers think, and it would be strange to say that they can hold steady.

Therefore, Cao Cao has never said this to his subordinates, except for Cheng Yu and Xun You, who know about it, but everyone else doesn't know about it. However, Cao Cao also knew in his heart that the so-called "paper can't hold the fire" and "there is no impermeable wall", sooner or later his generals and soldiers will know about these things, but he has to let them know later, it is best for his own side to take Linyuan, and then it is best for them to know about it.

In fact, many of Cao Cao's subordinates actually feel that their lord has changed, but some people think a lot, and some people don't have any ideas-

People who think a lot have a lot of ideas, and some of them think that the reason why their lord has changed a little may be because they haven't captured Linyuan for so long. You must know that Huo Jun only has 3,000 people, and he has tens of thousands of people, but even so, he still hasn't been able to take the city.

And some people think that their lord has a heart, but as for what this heart is, it is difficult to say. Maybe it's because of the war in Linyuan City, maybe it's because of something else, it's possible. However, judging from the current situation, it seems that it is inseparable from the war in Linyuan City.

There are also people who are thinking that their lord has been thinking about how to break Linyuan City, but he has never had a good idea, so he didn't see that his hair is gray several times now, that is, because he was thinking about the plan to break the city day and night, so it became like this.

It has to be said that everyone really has their own ideas, and if they don't know what the specific reason is, of course they think that their thoughts are correct.

And one day, when Xu Huang and Man Chong came to Linyuan City, they all understood why their lord became like this. (To be continued......)
