"How unreasonable! What does Yuan Shu mean by this? Are you trapping me into injustice?" Sun Ce said angrily.
Zhou Yu, who was on the side, also looked strange at this time - they had just received a reply from Yuan Shu, in which he agreed to Sun Ce's use of the national jade seal in exchange for the Sun Zhou people and Sun's old tribe in Huainan.
However, he made a request, that is, to exchange the location and put it in Xunyang...
Xunyang County at this time was different from that of later generations. In the Jin Dynasty, the western part of Jiujiang was called Xunyang, which means the sun of seeking water. However, the current Xunyang County is in the south of Lujiang County, south of Wancheng, and close to the Yangtze River.
North Shore.
It is across the river from Chaisang in Yuzhang County in Jiangdong, and not far upstream is Jiangxia County in Jingzhou. Huang Zu, the prefect of Jiangxia, was blocking the river in Echeng near the river to set up defenses - Echeng, which later served as Soochow.
Therefore, the name of the capital city was changed with "Wuchang City". The current E city is the location of Wuchang in later generations.
Yuan Shu said that he not only asked Sun Ce to go to Xunyang to hand over the handover, but even proposed that Sun Ce temporarily station at Xunyang Ferry. For this reason, he also nominally explained the conflict between Sun Ce and Liu Xun as a "misunderstanding"... but there was no punishment.
Liu Xun!
He looked like he still wanted Sun Ce to be his protector.
However, this was tantamount to humiliation for Sun Ce.
As long as he didn't agree to Bai Tu's solicitation for the time being, could he still take the jade seal and return to Yuan Shu's camp? Is this something humans do?
"Gong Jin, why don't you speak? Are you too angry to speak?" Sun Ce asked.
Zhou Yu rolled his eyes at him and said: "What's so annoying about this? Yuan Shu has already broken up with us now, so he can use any conspiracy method.
It's just that I'm thinking that this strategy doesn't look like Yuan Shu's style, nor does it look like Yan Xiang. Yang Hong and the others would have planned it... After we were 'captured' by Duke Bai, we still managed to get the Jade Seal of the State. It was easy.
We can imagine that Mr. Bai secretly approved it, and we can also see that Mr. Bai intends to recruit us.
However... it is Yuan Shu's usual method to use the safety and coercion of his tribe and generals, but to use conspiracy to alienate people, and even to use profit motivation to force us to break with Bai Gong, and for this we bear the risk of being backlashed by us. This kind of
But the technique is not like the work of anyone under Yuan Shu."
"Why are you still thinking about whose idea it is now? Think about how to break the situation first! When there is a chance later, I will kill the bastard who came up with the idea with a thousand knives!" Sun Ce said angrily.
When he heard "death by a thousand cuts", Zhou Yu glanced at Sun Ce twice more, but didn't say anything else - he always felt that the person who came up with this idea, although on the surface, had calculated against Bai Tu and wanted to resolve his favor.
, but it seems that he also cares about Sun Ce.
"Breaking the situation? No, this is already a conspiracy. We have very few choices." Zhou Yu said.
Zhou Yu paused and then said first: "First of all, it's impossible for us to choose not to change, so let's go directly to the second option... After that, should we find a way to leave quietly, or should we take a gamble and Guild Bai will agree to let us go to Xunyang?"
"Of course I have to meet Mr. Bai, how could I leave without saying goodbye!" Sun Ce said matter-of-factly.
"Tell Mr. Bai directly that we are going to Xunyang?" Zhou Yu asked rhetorically.
"Of course, but I..."
"You won't help Yuan Shu? By then we will already be in Xunyang, and we will have our own troops. Will Bai Guild believe it?"
"this……"
"And if I were Yuan Shu... no, I should say that if I were the one who gave Yuan Shu advice, even if I got the jade seal later, I would definitely propose returning the prisoners in batches. We must stay at the Xunyang garrison." Zhou Yu
added.
Zhou Yu didn't say anything, but what Sun Ce knew in his heart was that if he left for Xunyang without saying goodbye, even if Sun Ce wanted to return to Jiangdong later, Bai Tu would never trust him.
In other words, if you say goodbye without saying goodbye, it is equivalent to turning against Bai Tu. If you say goodbye in advance, Bai Tu may force you to stay!
After Sun Ce heard this, he sat cross-legged on the ground. He was so irritated that he quickly rubbed his hair with his hands, and the red scarf on his forehead fell loose at this time.
This turban was a relic left to him by Sun Jian. It was once something Sun Jian carried with him. Seeing this turban, Sun Ce remembered his father's affairs.
During the crusade against Dong Zhuo, Sun Jian, as a former soldier, fought fiercely with Hua Xiong at Hulao Pass. After the defeat, when he was pursued, Sun Jian's old subordinate Zu Mao, who had also watched Sun Ce grow up, exchanged helmets with Sun Jian and also wore
The red scarf led Hua Xiong away. In the end, Sun Jian escaped, but Zu Mao was killed by Hua Xiong.
Later, during the great fire in Luoyang, Sun Jian's troops took the lead in rushing into Luoyang. In Dong Zhuo's mansion, they found his turban, which had been used by Hua Xiong as a substitute for Sun Jian's head and was sent back to Dong Zhuo as a souvenir of Wu Xun!
There is another secret here, which others don’t know very well, but Sun Ce still remembers it.
Sun Ce was only eight years old that year, and Sun Jian had just become the governor of Changsha. At that time, Ou Xing instigated a rebellion among the homeless officers in the county. When Sun Jian first took office, Ou Xing had gathered more than 10,000 people. The reason why Sun Jian was appointed as a "warrior" was
Being a prefect meant that he could fight, and Zu Mao was the district star at that time!
Sun Jian personally went into battle and captured Zu Mao alive. At first, he did not discover his identity. He thought he was a general of Ou Xing. He found that he was very brave and had a battle armor. In other words, Zu Mao was once a junior member of the Han army.
officer.
Therefore, after learning about the grievances between the former Changsha Governor and Zu Mao and the reasons for his rebellion, he proposed to recruit...
You must know that Dong Zhuo had not yet entered the capital, and the majesty of the Han Dynasty was still much greater than it is now. Sun Jian would have to take a huge risk by privately pardoning a traitor!
Zu Mao was moved and suggested that he could return to the rebel camp and instigate rebellion against his colleagues who, like him, had participated in the rebellion because of the previous governor's affairs.
Sun Jian also believed without reservation and released Zu Mao directly. In the end, Zu Mao did not break his promise and surrendered directly with his men, and informed Sun Jian of his true identity.
At that time, Sun Jian smiled and told Zu Mao that in fact, he had known his identity for a long time, and he just believed in his character, so he let him go...
The Ou Xing uprising that eventually ravaged Changsha was completely put down in less than two months. The leader Ou Xing disappeared, and Sun Jian gained an additional subordinate named Zu Mao.
It's just that Sun Ce later heard Sun Jian say that in fact, he didn't know Zu Mao was Ou Xing at all, and he just pretended to be "beep". This made Sun Ce learn two things, one is "trust" and the other is "pretend".
'".
In the history without the "White Rabbit Effect", Sun Ce also treated Taishi Ci in this way, perhaps because when he was duel with him, Taishi Ci once knocked off his helmet, which reminded him of his father and uncle.
.
It's the same now, but Sun Ce's identity has changed...
"Early tomorrow morning, I will go to say goodbye to Duke Bai. If Duke Bai does not allow us to leave, Gong Jin...you must have a way to leave, so you don't have to worry about me then." Sun Ce took out the jade seal from his crotch.
Seeing this, Zhou Yu took two steps back in disgust, and then said helplessly: "I knew you were an idiot... Forget it, I will go with you tomorrow. Even if Bai Gong stays with you kindly, I will have my own way."
In fact, in Zhou Yu's heart, he expected Bai Tu to keep the two of them by force, so as to eliminate Sun Ce's desire to stay under Bai Tu's tent. Although it was a bit more dangerous, Zhou Yu was confident that he and Sun Ce could leave Qu'a safely.
Later, even though he was restrained from three sides in Xunyang, Zhou Yu still had the confidence to face the challenge head-on, but he was even more worried about Sun Ce losing his ambition to be independent.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yu frowned - who could be persuading Yuan Shu? It actually coincided with his thoughts. If he were in Huainan at this time, he would also persuade Yuan Shu like this. On the surface, it was for Yuan Shu's sake. In fact, it was for Yuan Shu's sake.
But he put Sun Ce to death and survived!
Of course, if it were Zhou Yu, Yuan Shu would never listen to his "beep"...
