Chapter 305
Seeing that Guan Hai did not object in person, Sun Quan knew that he had agreed. So Sun Quan directly expressed his proposal.
"General Guan only needs troops to surround Beihai and let Beihai Xiang Kong Rong hand over his family's collection of books and exchange them with me. I will give you the recipe for Fu Shui."
"What a joke!" Guan Hai immediately asked, "Kong Rong is a descendant of Confucius. What is the difference between letting Kong Rong hand over the family's collection and breaking the lifeline of the Kong family. Unless he kills his whole family, how could he compromise on this issue? Are you trying to make me bear the infamy of the whole world!"
Sun Quan did not comment on Guan Hai's remarks, but said calmly,
"The greater the risk, the greater the benefits. It is not just about Fu Shui's affairs here. Why don't General Guan consider the feasibility of attacking Beihai?"
"Attack Beihai?" Guan Hai's eyes flashed.
The nature of the Yellow Turban in the late stage is actually quite different from that of the Yellow Turban in the early stage. In the early stage, the Yellow Turban in the late stage is really conquering cities and territory, while in the late stage, the Yellow Turban in the late stage, they may also attack a certain territory, but they are often more for plundering rather than occupying. If someone fights, then run away. No one fights, so they will be free for a while. If the guards in that place are cowardly and donate money and food before they start fighting, that would be great.
Therefore, Guan Hai thought about robbing Beihai, but Guan Hai did not think about conquering Beihai at all. Now, Sun Quan opened up a way for him, and Fu Shui's conditions also expanded Guan Hai's ambitions. Guan Hai suddenly realized why he could not be a prince and fight for dominance in the world?! Conquer Beihai and take Beihai as the foundation. Beihai is by the sea, so there is no need to worry about being attacked from the back and forth, and it is full of food and supplies. It is a typical rise!
"First of all, Beihai is a very small force. The north is Gongsun Zan's territory and the south is Tao Qian's territory. Beihai is in the cracks between the two major forces and has no backstage. If you conquer Beihai, you will not touch the interests of others. It is the most suitable territory to attack." Sun Quan analyzed for Guan Hai, "That's right, Kong Rong is a descendant of Confucius and a famous contemporary scholar. It is precisely because of this that no one is willing to attack the world for the most ruthless thing to attack at present.
In Beihai, as long as Kong Rong does not provoke others, no one will take the initiative to provoke him. General Guan just considered this. But has General Guan thought that you, the Yellow Turban, believe in the Taoism, Taoism rather than Confucianism, is a big deal for others, and for you, it is just a dispute of thought. As long as you have a clear stand, this issue is not worth worrying. People in the world should hate it, and they will hate it, not General Guan."
Good guy, after saying this, Sun Quan even admired his eloquence, and he was almost moved, let alone Guan Hai?
"Why do you want me to attack Beihai?" Guan Hai asked cautiously. Yes, he was moved, but it was because of his move that Guan Hai was more vigilant. Guan Hai did not want to be treated as a gun by Sun Quan for nothing. It was like assuming that Sun Quan had a grudge with Kong Rong, Guan Hai went to destroy Kong Rong, and in the end Sun Quan repented. Guan Hai did not get the talisman water, but Sun Quan took revenge. Guan Hai was unwilling to do such a good thing that was cheaper to others.
"Didn't you say that, I want the collection of books from the Kong family." Sun Quan replied.
Guan Hai narrowed his eyes,
"What do you want the Kong family's collection of books for?"
"This is a secret. Please forgive me for not being able to tell me." Sun Quan shook his head, "I know General Guan, your concerns, but this book is actually nothing to worry about. First, what are the benefits of remorse? Do I think it is fun? Let you attack Beihai? In addition, if I want to harm you, I will directly ask you to attack Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan, which is not better? Second, even if I really remorse in the end, General Guan took down Beihai as a base, isn't it a loss? Moreover, the Kong family's collection of books requires more people. General Guan used this as a bargaining chip to trade with other princes and exchange money for grain. What can't be exchanged?"
As he said that, Sun Quan looked at Guan Hai and fiddled with a pair of sincere eyes.
Guan Hai looked at Sun Quan carefully for a long time and suddenly said,
"I don't think you're like the Sun family."
"Oh?" Sun Quan raised his eyebrows.
"It's like a verbal traitor." Guan Hai continued.
Sun Quan shook his head and smiled,
"This is not a compliment to our military successors."
"I have to admit that you successfully convinced me. Even intuitively, I still think you are using me, but I am willing to take a gamble on it." Guan Hai said to Sun Quan, "But I have a condition."
"I would like to hear the details." Sun Quan signaled Guan Haizhi to say.
"Before I conquer the Beihai, you must never tell anyone else the Fushui formula, including the Saint." Guan Hai said in a deep voice.
Sun Quan smiled,
"Don't worry, General Guan, this is my biggest capital at present. If you think I'm stupid, I will tell others easily."
Guan Hai stared at Sun Quan,
"It is precisely that I am willing to cooperate with you!"
Guan Hai knew that Sun Quan was very smart, so he was not sure whether he could get the recipe for talisman water from Sun Quan. However, Guan Hai believed at least one point, if even he could not obtain it, it would be even more impossible for others!
In this way, Sun Quan was so happy that he accepted another free helper.
The most important reason why Sun Quan negotiated cooperation with Zhang Ning and Guan Hai was actually that at present, Sun Quan did not want to be distracted by being wary of these two people at any time. The most urgent thing at the moment is to find his father Sun Jian and have more helpers. For Sun Quan, it is naturally the best place to plan for the future.
Guan Hai just thought that Sun Quan was using him, but he didn't expect that Sun Quan might be trying to harm him. In the past, Sun Quan took this over easily and was taken over by Sun Quan. Guan Hai would never have imagined that once he attacked Beihai, a special "little man" nearby, Liu Bei, would inevitably send troops to Beihai to help!
The battle of Beihai is related to Guan Hai's life and death, the direction of the Yellow Turban, Kong Rong, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and more importantly, a person Sun Quan cared about - Taishi Ci. Although Sun Quan has not carefully planned some specific details, no matter what the final result is, Sun Quan will make a profit.
······
I don’t know if it was God’s favor, but this day finally made Sun Quan discover important clues! In fact, opportunities will always be left to those who are prepared. Whether it is Yu'er or Zhang Ning, they are far from Guan Hai’s experience in the wild. Some inconspicuous clues can only be discovered by an old world like Guan Hai. It is precisely because Sun Quan won over Guan Hai that he can get Guan Hai’s help and have the current results.
Under Guan Hai's leadership, Sun Quan and his men followed the inconspicuous traces and approached the truth bit by bit. Finally, in the evening of that day, they discovered a fire that had been left behind in recent days!
At that moment, Sun Quan's tears burst out from his eyes. Even though he knew very well, this could not explain anything. Even if he knew, the more he cared, the more likely he was to be threatened by Guan Hai, but Sun Quan could not suppress the excitement in his heart.
Without any rest, Sun Quan marched as fast as possible!
