The scale of the Xujiawu wall is not small, there is no mountain to follow, but there is water to be by, and the moat is wide enough to sail. Probably the last time they were almost broken by the yellow turban, they were deeply impressed, the dock wall was newly repaired, and there were traces of fresh ramming. There are flags erected on the wall, and there are many people, and they are full of vigilance.

This is clearly an independent kingdom. Sun Ce didn't have to think about it, and he also knew that the previous Pei Xiang probably didn't dare to come to receive Xu Chu's Furui, let alone recruit Xu Chu's clansmen or tribes to serve, and the population of these thousands of families had disappeared from Pei County's household registration. For Du Xun, who has just taken office, this is a test.

Sun Ce invited Wu Zhou and said very politely: "Don't drive a state Liyashi, please pass on Xu Zhongkang on my behalf, I have heard for a long time that he is strong in martial arts, and I want to meet friends with martial arts and compete with him." ”

Wu Zhou bowed down and agreed, but he obviously didn't believe Sun Ce's words. Friends with force? The devil believes in you. Is it necessary to bring four or five thousand people to the competition? This is clearly a demonstration to Xu Chu and forced Xu Chu to bow his head. When he turned around, he quietly exchanged a look with Zheng Za. Zheng Za lowered his eyelids, which means that I have said everything that should be said, whether it is useful or not, I don't know. Wu Zhou was a little disappointed, but he wasn't worried.

It's okay, let Sun Ce touch the mold. Even if he can kill Xu Chu with the advantage of strength, it is impossible to wipe out Xu Chu's troops, and then those rangers will let Sun Ce know what a headache is.

Wu Zhou walked into the dock wall and saw a group of people who had just come out of it, and among them was a scribe wearing a virtuous crown, with a hesitant face. The moment they passed by, the two glanced at each other, and Wu Zhou had an idea, turned around and arched his hand.

"In Xia Pei Guowu Zhou, the word Bonan, Naizhou in the middle of the don't drive. Dare to ask the name of the next step? ”

The man was stunned for a moment, stopped, and returned the salute. "It turned out to be Yashi Wu Bonan, who has admired the name for a long time. In Xiazhuo County Jianyong, the word Xianhe, is engaged in Yuzhou before the pastoral drive. He laughed: "It's Liu Yuzhou, not Sun Yuzhou." ”

Wu Zhou nodded. "I see, Liu Yuanjun is really a corporal Lixian. Don't pass, don't pass. After speaking, he politely said goodbye. Jian Yong rolled his eyes, stroked his beard, and thought thoughtfully. He turned around and looked at the driver in the distance, and his eyebrows jumped involuntarily. He thought about it, crossed the moat, came to Sun Ce's team, bowed down, and handed over his name thorn.

When Jian Yong was talking in front of Wu Zhou's dock wall, Sun Ce had already seen it, but he didn't know who he was. After listening to Jian Yong's self-report, he knew that it was a messenger sent by Liu Bei. But looking at him like this, he should have touched a gray nose.

Originally, if there were no four thousand Danyang soldiers, Liu Bei's strength would not be as good as Xu Chu, why should Xu Chu listen to him. But it's one thing to be able to invite or not, and it's another thing to ask for it or not, Corporal Lixian himself is a necessary drama for officials to put on a show, and it is an outlier to bring people to the door to challenge like him.

Sun Ce was very polite, turned over and dismounted, and saluted Jian Yong. "Has Liu Xuande slept soundly lately?"

Jian Yong was unyielding. "Did the general sleep soundly?"

Sun Ce laughed and patted his forehead. "yes, I'll tell you the truth, I didn't sleep well. Liu Xuande is not afraid, but Guan Yunchang beside him is a trouble. It's not easy to fall asleep with this person. ”

Jian Yong was surprised. "Does the general know Guan Yunchang?"

Sun Ce's face was not red, his heart was not beating, and he turned around and pointed at Ge Sheng and the others. "Xianhe, these are all Yellow Turban Marshals, I don't know Guan Yunchang, can they still know? If it weren't for Guan Yunchang's invincibility and breaking the formation to save people several times, Liu Xuande would have become a white bone a long time ago, right? Although Zhang Yide and Zhao Zilong are rare warriors, they are not as good as Guan Yunchang. It's a pity that Liu Xuande and I are friends and foes, and we don't have the opportunity to fight side by side with Guan Yunchang, but it is possible to win the battle, which is unsettling to think about. ”

Jian Yong's heart became more and more uneasy. Sun Ce not only knew Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, but also knew Zhao Yun, which was too exaggerated. Zhao Yun is Liu Bei's personal guard general, he rarely fights with people, and it can even be said that Zhao Yun has not really had the opportunity to reflect his martial arts after joining Liu Bei's command, how could Sun Ce know about him and put him alongside Zhang Fei?

Sun Ce was surrounded by experts who were good at intelligence gathering, and Sun Ce's understanding of Liu Bei was far greater than Liu Bei's understanding of him. Only by knowing the other can he survive a hundred battles, and based on this alone, Sun Ce has already gained the upper hand.

Sun Ce pretended not to see Jian Yong's uneasiness, and kept praising Guan Yu's martial arts, no one was invincible, and Jian Yong believed it a little. Although Guan Yu did not save Liu Bei between life and death several times as Sun Ce thought, it is a fact that he is fierce, and his loyalty to Liu Bei is also a fact. If it weren't for Guan Yu, Liu Bei might have died on the battlefield long ago.

"Xianhe, I have a sentence that I want you to bring to Liu Xuande, I don't know if it's convenient?"

"General, please."

"Yuzhou, it's impossible for me to give up. But I don't want to be his enemy. To put it bluntly, he is the declining clan of Zhuo County, and my grandson family is a soldier and an unfilial descendant, all of whom are not famous, and they are despised by the world, so they should work together to support the royal family, why should they be driven by Yuan Shao and kill each other? If he is willing, I want to ask Taiwei Zhu Gong to go to the court, worship him as the assassin of Yanzhou, and turn the war into a jade silk, do you think it's okay? ”

Jian Yong smiled and shook his head. "General Sun's kindness, I understand it for Liu Yuzhou. However, Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, is an official appointed by the imperial court, how can my general compete with him. ”

"Hehe, Liu Dai is attached to Yuan Shao and wants to be a minister of the dragon, is he still a loyal minister of the imperial court? Besides, he's already a ghost at the bottom of the kettle, and he won't live for a few days. Sun Ce patted Jian Yong's shoulder. Xianhe, I'm not joking, this is all heartfelt words, I hope Liu Xuande can consider it. I can compete with Xu Chu, but I don't want to compete with Guan Yunchang. ”

Jian Yong bowed and retreated. "Yong must convey the general's good intentions to Liu Yuzhou, and say goodbye."

"Wait." Sun Ce stopped Jian Yong, pulled out the long knife at his waist, and offered it with both hands. "I came in a hurry, and I didn't expect to meet Xianhe here, so I didn't make special preparations. This is my portable sword, this is one of the eight knives in the West Garden, please Xianhe transfer this knife to Guan Yunchang, talk about it. ”

Jian Yong took the knife, pulled out the long knife and glanced at it, his eyes were forced to shrink by the cold light. He nodded and turned to leave.

watched Jian Yong drive away and disappear into the distance. Guo Jia, who had endured it for a long time, laughed. "General, your intuition when you see the opportunity, I really can't reach it."

Sun Ce laughed. "What is done when the opportunity is made, idle is also idle, and there are dates without dates to hit a pole."

Guo Jia raised his fingers, wiped the short beard on his lips, and said quietly: "This is intuition." Feel free to know what kind of fruit will be produced by a seed sown by this hand, maybe it is a thorn, maybe it is a towering tree, everything is possible. General, this is a talent, and you can't learn it. ”
