At dusk, separated by a long river, the two armies faced each other.

On the bank of the river on the east side, in the afterglow of the setting sun, the river trickled, and the generals of the Cao army retreated, leaving only Sun Quan, Cao Cao, and Xilong three figures, standing side by side, their eyes were all staring at the Jiangdong army on the other side of the river.

At the same time, on the other side of the river, Zhou Yu, Sun Ce, and Xu Sheng also looked at this side of the river, and the expressions of everyone in Jiangdong were obviously a little anxious, and Sun Ce couldn't wait to turn around, but although Sun Quan on this side was under siege, he was very calm and calm.

Facing Cao Cao, a decisive hero, he was actually a little afraid in his heart, but if he wanted to get a trace of survival, he could only calm down and deal with it quietly.

"Xi Zhicai, you are now full of energy, full of energy, and have a ruddy complexion, it seems that Hua Tuo, the miracle doctor, really deserves his reputation and really cured you." Sun Quan turned his head, his eyes narrowed slightly, looked at Xi Long, and said lightly.

In the past, the sentence 'why should we have known each other' made him completely miss this great talent, but now Xi Long has changed and has become Cao Cao's confidant and strategist, and the world is unpredictable.

There is no medicine for regret, and from now on, they can only be enemies.

"Thanks to the son." Xi Zhicai wore a white robe, bowed slightly, and saluted very sincerely.

When he went to look for Hua Tuo, he was also half-convinced, and when Hua Tuo proposed the treatment, he thought about giving up, and finally remembered Sun Quan's words before he fought hard.

As a result, Hua Tuo really cured the terminal illness on his body, although he was stabbed, but he did survive.

At this point, he must inherit the love of Sun Quan.

"In this way, you can be regarded as owing me a life, and now that I am desperate, should you give me my life!" Sun Quan's best thing is to beat dogs with sticks, his face is thicker than the city wall, and he said with a smile: "Why don't you persuade Meng Degong to let me go?" ”

"That's right, you can understand that you owe you a life, but today it is not a certain person who wants your Sun Zhongmou's life, but the lord, who has a meagre status, and he doesn't have such a big influence, so let the lord let you go."

There was an indifferent smile on the corner of Xi Long's mouth, his eyes flashed, he was not fooled at all, when it came to being thick-skinned, he was no worse than Sun Quan, and he clearly admitted that he would not repay the debt.

"Well, so-and-so, so-and-so is dead." Sun Quan squinted, still smiling. One sentence can test the style of Xi Zhicai, this is by no means a conformist person, he can be flexible, such a smart person is even more terrifying.

"Sun Zhongmou, you know that a certain is Cao Cao, Cao Mengde, there has always been only a certain negative person, no one is allowed to bear a certain person, people want to kill a certain person, a certain is better than killing it, today you want to kill a certain person, now you fall into the hands of a certain person, a certain person can't think of a reason not to kill you." Cao Cao listened to Xi Zhicai's words, and the long sword in his hand was raised gently, and the cold light flickered.

Although Cao Cao was a little surprised that Xi Zhicai would actually have a relationship with Sun Quan, now Xi Zhicai is definitely the first among the strategists under his command, if Xi Zhicai opens his mouth to intercede, although he is unwilling, but for the sake of Xi Zhicai, he does not mind letting Sun Quan go, which is more important, he knows in his heart.

But since Xi Zhicai said so, he has already made his attitude clear, casual.

"Meng Degong, killing this son may not be good for you, it's better to use a message in exchange for a certain life, how about it?" Sun Quan stared at Cao Cao and said suddenly.

"Tell me about it." Cao Cao was a little interested.

Although he was besieged and killed by Sun Quan, he almost died, but he didn't have much hatred for Sun Quan, a young man, and at this moment, he admired this young man from the bottom of his heart, but he was just a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, who could be so relaxed under his own blade, and dared to negotiate his own conditions.

It's rare!

"Meng Degong is now avenging his father, regardless of a qiē, and rejuvenating Xuzhou, has he never thought that Yanzhou in his backyard will not be protected?" In Sun Quan's memory, Lu Bu had already entered Yanzhou at this time, and this could be used as a bargaining chip to let himself get out.

"Sun Zhongmou, do you think you can save your life by playing tricks?" When Cao Cao heard this, he didn't believe it at all, his eyes turned cold in an instant, and his killing intent skyrocketed.

"If the news received by a certain person is not wrong, at this time, Lu Bu should enter Yanzhou!"

Sun Quan said lightly.

"Nonsense!"

"Impossible."

Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai immediately denied it, unwilling to believe it, after all, when they set out on the expedition, they also set up a rear hand to guard against Lu Bu, even if Lu Bu was a cavalry, it was impossible to attack Yanzhou in such a short period of time.

"Normally impossible, what if someone in your own family rebels?" Sun Quan said coldly: "Meng Degong, do you think Yanzhou can stop Lu Bu's tiger?" ”

"Gongzi Quan, what do you mean?" When Xi Zhicai heard this, his face changed slightly, and he became a little dignified.

"Can you change the life of my son, just one word!" There was a sneer hanging from the corner of Sun Quan's mouth, a little aggressive.

"Lord, in the past, a certain person also owed a life to the right son, this is a knot in the heart, if the right son can really tell valuable news, a certain begging the lord to bypass his life."

Xi Zhicai's eyes stared at Sun Quan, and when he looked at the Jiangdong Xiaobawang on the other side, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his heart, and he gave Cao Cao a vague look, and then gave him his hand and said loudly.

"Okay, since Zhicai has spoken, I will give Zhicai a face, Sun Zhongmou, if you can say a reason today, you will let you go!" Cao Cao's expression moved slightly, he pondered for a moment, put down the sword in his hand, and said coldly.

He believes that Xi Zhi is willing to let Sun Quan go, not only to return his life, but also to have his intentions.

"Good!"

Sun Quan's eyes looked at Xi Long's eyes like an abyss, and he couldn't understand it, although he didn't know much about Xi Long, he definitely didn't believe that Xi Long was so good at talking, but no matter how good it was, it was the first thing to be able to pick up a life.

"Zhang Miao and Chen Gong, these two people, you are not strangers, right?" Sun Quan said indifferently: "They have joined forces and invited Lu Bu to enter Yanzhou, if there is no mistake, Puyang has already fallen at this time." ”

"Impossible!" Cao Cao's eyes widened, Chen Gong didn't care, this person was indeed unfriendly with him, but Zhang Miao gave Chen Liu to him at the beginning, how could he oppose him.

But there was a slight chill in his heart.

If this is the case, now Zhang Miao is also in a high position in Cao Ying, and has a lot of influence in Chen Liu and Dongjun, if he really reverses, then Yanzhou may really be dangerous.

"In the past, when Meng Degong killed Bian Rang, he should have known that Yanzhou Haoqiang would oppose you, although Zhang Miao did give Chen Liu to you, but you didn't let him get your importance, and now he is just an empty title, will he be willing? It's normal for him to turn against you. Sun Quan said sarcastically.

Cao Cao's killing of Bian Rang was a big mine for him to rule Yanzhou, and Bian Rang was a banner of the Yanzhou Shi clan.

"It's a little strange, we don't have any news about such important news, how did you get it?" Xi Zhicai took a deep breath and asked.

"You don't care about this, you just don't believe it!" Sun Quan naturally would not say that he knew it from history.

"Believe!"

Xi Zhicai's eyes moved, and he said suddenly.

"Can Ben Childe go?" Sun Quan was a little puzzled as to why Xi Zhicai was suddenly so good at talking, but now was not the time to wonder.

"Yes, please!" Xi Zhicai asked Cao Cao with his eyes, Cao Cao nodded indifferently, and he made a word behind him.

Sun Quan boarded the only small boat by the river, looked at Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai, and said loudly: "Meng Degong, in today's battle, the Jiangdong Army lost, and he will definitely come back from Meng Degong one day." ”

"If you have the ability, come here!" Cao Cao said coldly: "A certain family will definitely wait, but next time you will not be so lucky." ”

"Really? Wait and see! ”

Sun Quan smiled indifferently, then shook the boat, slowly left the river bank, and shook towards the opposite bank.

Although some of them are too smooth, so smooth that he can't believe it, he knows that Xi Zhi is willing to let him go, there must be a conspiracy in it, but he doesn't know what he is plotting.

"Zhicai, do you believe the words of this yellow-mouthed child." Cao Cao held back his breath and said in a cold voice: "It is impossible for Zhang Miao to betray so-and-so." ”

"Lord, in fact, whether this is true or not, I plan to let him go."

Xi Long stared at Sun Quan's back, and said calmly: "It's not because I owe him a life, but because of Sun Ce, if the Sun brothers are all captured today, even if they say that the sky is broken, we will behead them, the Sun family is too terrible, they are all young and handsome, if they grow up, he will be strong for us one day." ”

"What do you mean?" Cao Cao was a little unsure of the mysteries.

"Lord, Sun Wentai has a son, he should be happy, but one is a good thing, two may not be, how can one mountain accommodate two tigers." A cold glint crossed Xi Long's eyes.

"You mean that you want their brothers to fight each other to mess up Jiangdong, I'm afraid your abacus is wrong, you also have what you can see today, Sun Zhongmou is willing to leave a break for Sun Bofu, and their brotherly relationship can be imagined."

Cao Cao looked at the two brothers opposite, and sighed a little, he had never thought that he was better than Sun Wentai, but now he was a little jealous of Sun Wentai, Sun Wentai had two such outstanding sons, and the two were still so united.

"Now they are still young after all, and Sun Wentai is still there, so it is natural, but what if Sun Wentai is not there one day, and the position of the lord of Jiangdong is in front of them, are they brothers, friends, brothers, brothers, Xi Zhicai sneered and said: "The intelligence of the ghost pawn, Sun Zhongmou's influence in Jiangdong is even above Sun Bofu, even if he Sun Zhongmou has no ambitions, do you think that after Sun Bofu takes the throne, he has such a broad mind and can accommodate Sun Zhongmou?" ”

"Although Sun Bofu has the courage of an overlord, he does not necessarily have the mind of an overlord, and Sun Zhongmou is not the kind of person who can be caught with his hands tied, so ...... Hahaha, I see! ”

Cao Cao immediately understood after Xi Long's proposal, and when he thought of the battle between his Japanese and Jiangdong brothers, he had an indescribable pleasure in his heart.

"And my lord, I think that Sun Zhongmou may not be talking nonsense, and we must quickly withdraw our troops from Yanzhou." Xi Zhicai's face became a little grim, he thought about it, I am afraid that Sun Quan really said: "Maybe Jinyiwei is really more terrible than we imagined, and the information he got that we can't get is also a matter of course, if he really lets him say it, then Yanzhou will be chaotic, and we can't afford to gamble." ”

Yanzhou can't be chaotic, once Yanzhou is chaotic, I'm afraid that the foundation laid by Cao Cao in recent years will collapse, so Xi Zhicai thinks that it is better to believe that it is better to believe it than to believe that it is not.

"I still don't believe that Zhang Miao will oppose a certain person, but you are right, the safety of Yanzhou, we can't afford to gamble, Yuan Rang, Miaocai!" Cao Cao also knew that Yanzhou was his foundation, so he naturally had to be cautious.

"In!" The two fierce generals walked out.

"Order the two of you, lead all the cavalry under your command, and return to Dongjun immediately!"

"No!"
