Wenpin clasped his fists and said: "I don't dare to obey the order. My lord admires the general's righteous deeds very much. He asked us to come to see the general first. In three days, the lord will come here to meet the general!" "What?" Sun Jian's face was filled with doubts.
"Three days? You said Lord Zhou Mu is coming to see me, Sun Jian?" Wenpin nodded and said: "That's right! My lord admires the general very much. When the country is in danger, he goes out of his way to attack Dong Zhuo with his army, which is very disappointing.
I admire you. Originally, my lord wanted to meet the general in Xiangcheng, but he didn't expect that the general did not go to Xiangcheng, but from Jiangxia. So the lord sent his subordinates to come here to inform the general that the lord will arrive in person in three days.
Meet the general in his camp!"
Sun Jian's face was full of doubts. He glanced at Wenpin and saw that Wenpin's expression was as usual and sincere, so he looked at Huang Gai. Huang Gai's eyes were also full of doubts, "General Wen, Liu Jingzhou will come in person."
In my camp?" Wenpin nodded and said: "Exactly! When I left, the lord was already preparing to set off!" Huang Gai's eyes were full of doubts, but now Sun Jian is still under the jurisdiction of Jingzhou in name, so he is Liu Biao's general.
, if Sun Jian categorically refuses at this moment, he will definitely turn against Liu Biao, which is what none of them want to see!
Sun Jian glanced at Huang Gai and saw Huang Gai nodded slightly. He smiled slightly, stood up and said loudly: "Master Zhou Mu is really kind to me, Sun Jian. Since Master Zhou Mu is here,
We will definitely welcome you in the camp. However, I, Sun Jian, have only heard of Master Zhou Mu by name but not seen him. Sun Jian is afraid that Master Zhou Mu will be neglected. It would be better if your envoy stayed in the camp to give you some advice.
?" Wenpin sneered in his heart. He knew what Sun Jian meant. Didn't he just want to keep him as a hostage? However, Wenpin's city was deep in the city. Although he thought so in his heart, he already said: "I already admire the general very much.
, it just so happens that I can be by the general's side and ask for advice these days!" Sun Jian laughed and said: "Okay! I can also learn more about Lord Zhou Mu from your envoy!" After speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled.
Sun Jian drank and had fun with Wenpin in the tent until late at night. After personally sending Wenpin back to the tent to rest, Sun Jian went straight back to the big tent. The original cheerfulness in the big tent had long since disappeared, and had been replaced by solemnity.
Sun Ce and Huang Gai were also in the tent. Sun Jian had no intention of being drunk at this moment. He knelt down behind the desk and asked Huang Gai, "Has Tan Ma come back?" Huang Gai nodded.
Huang Gai nodded and said, "Tan Ma came back an hour ago!" "Did you find anything?" Sun Jian asked in a deep voice. Huang Gai shook his head and said, "Didn't find anything!" Upon hearing this, Sun Jian had doubts on his face.
Said: "Is it really as simple as just wanting to see me?"
Sun Ce, who was standing aside, said: "Didn't Wenpin just say that when he was drunk? This time Liu Biao will also bring food, food, food, grain, food, etc. to reward me!" Sun Jian stared at Sun Ce and said, "Then tell me, why?"
Will Liu Biao come and reward me for waiting?" Sun Ce felt a sudden surge in his heart when he saw his father staring at him closely. He had been afraid of his father since he was a child, especially when discussing military matters, his father didn't like him to interrupt. But he still
He said bravely: "Liu Biao's intention is obviously to win over his father!"
"Oh?" Sun Jian became interested. He nodded and said, "Keep talking!" Seeing his father's appreciation, Sun Ce felt happy in his heart and said quickly: "My father was famous for his military campaigns in the north and south, and he was in charge of Changsha. This Liu Biao
If you want to stay in Jingzhou for a long time, you must win over your father. This is one. Second, his father has made great contributions in defeating Dong. However, as a member of the Han clan, Liu Biao actually stood still. This is no longer justified in terms of face, so he wants to take the credit for himself.
Yes, then he only needs to come to his father's army and meet his father as Jingzhou Mu, then his father's credit will be easily shared by Liu Biao. After all, Liu Biao is Jingzhou Mu and his father is Liu Biao's subordinate!" Sun Jian heard that Sun Ce said this
He said, laughing loudly and said: "That's good, but what does Liu Biao mean? We can't just guess!" After saying this, he said in a deep voice: "Tomorrow morning, Dalang, you will personally lead the scouts to find out the situation.
Remember, this time you have to investigate everything within a hundred miles!" Upon hearing this, Sun Ce quickly clasped his fists and said, "No!"
Three days passed quickly. During these three days, Sun Jian had slowly relaxed his trust in Liu Biao. Sun Ce personally led the team to patrol a hundred miles around and found nothing wrong. On the contrary, he heard that Liu Biao had personally brought the reward.
Coming to the station, only 500 personal guards accompanied him. This made Sun Jian feel certain that if Liu Biao really had intentions for him, he would never come in person, nor would he only bring 500 personal guards. Then
There is really only one possibility for Liu Biao, and that is to win over him.
Sun Jian walked out of the tent and said to the guards beside him: "Let Huang Gai come to see me!" "No!" One of the guards clasped his fists and walked towards Huang Gai's camp. After about a quarter of an hour, Huang Gai
Entering Sun Jian's tent, he said: "My lord, what do you want me to do?" Sun Jian smiled and said: "Since Liu Biao is here, I will be ready to welcome you. Go and make arrangements!" Huang Gai nodded and said: "
What standards do you want, lord?" "What standards?" Sun Jian pondered for a moment and said, "Just use the standards to welcome the lord!" "Lord?" Huang Gai was about to speak when he saw Sun Jian wave his hand and said: "Gongfu, I know you.
What I want to say is that it's just a false name. The most important thing is that we have to reassure Liu Biao and make a gesture so that we can all live in peace in the future. Besides, isn't that what Liu Biao wants for coming so hard?
Why do we care so much?" Upon hearing this, Huang Gai clasped his fists and said, "No! I will make arrangements right away!" Sun Jian nodded.
At this moment, Sun Ce walked into the tent with an angry look on his face. When Sun Jian saw him, he asked, "What happened?" Sun Ce cupped his fists and said, "Father, there is someone outside the camp who wants to see you!" "Who is it?
"Sun Jian asked curiously, and Sun Ce quickly said: "Yuan Shu's envoy!" "What?" Sun Jian looked at Sun Ce in confusion. Huang Gai was about to leave when he saw this, only to see Sun Jian say: "Wait a minute!"
Huang Gai had no choice but to stay in the tent.
Sun Jian knew that although Sun Ce had a bad temper, he was not indifferent, so he asked: "What did he say?" Sun Ce said angrily: "He said that he came under Yuan Shu's order to tell his father something.
"What's the matter?" Sun Jian asked hurriedly, and Sun Ce said: "He said that Yuan Shao sent Liu Biao a secret letter in private, asking Liu Biao to intercept his father and seize the imperial seal!" When Sun Jian heard this, his face showed a smile.
