Chapter 427 Sun Ce went south
"Ha ha, is this the national jade seal?" Seeing the box in Sun Ce's hand, Yuan Shu's expression suddenly became dull. After that, he showed a greedy look and walked to Sun Ce and said, "Come on, bring the Chuan Guo Yuxi and let me have a look."
"General, please don't worry. My father said in my dream that only when the general agrees to avenge my father can I give this national jade seal to the general." Seeing Yuan Shu's greedy look, Sun Ce tightened the box in his hand and took the opportunity to propose conditions to Yuan Shu.
"Of course, Sun Wentai and I are good brothers. His hatred is naturally my revenge. Over the years, I have repeatedly fought to avenge Wentai, isn't it?" Seeing that Sun Ce took the opportunity to make a request, Yuan Shu not only did not have any antipathy, but also followed Sun Ce, as if he really had a good relationship with Sun Jian.
"I heard that the general is about to set up an army to fight against Liu Bei. Sun Ce is willing to lead the army as the vanguard, recruit his father's old army, cut through the thorns for the general, and avenge my father at the same time. Please agree." Seeing that Yuan Shu's desire for the jade seal of the country was almost obsessive, Sun Ce took the opportunity to say the real purpose of his trip.
"Ha ha, well, Sun Wentai was my general at that time, and his combat effectiveness was extraordinary. Today, with you as the vanguard, Liu Biao will definitely be defeated. You will recruit your father's old troops again, and I will send 20,000 more soldiers and horses to you as the vanguard to attack Jingzhou, and set off immediately. Hearing that Sun Ce was willing to attack Liu Biao for himself, Yuan Shu's heart was already moved. Although Yuan Shu's strength was not weak, he was relatively lacking in generals. Only Ji Ling could take action. At this time, Sun Ce was willing to dedicate the national jade seal to himself. Yuan Shu felt that there was no problem with Sun Ce's loyalty. As for attacking Liu Biao in Jingzhou. On this issue, Yuan Shu will not doubt Sun Ce's determination. He must have a father-killing feud with Sun Ce. Is he afraid that Sun Ce will surrender to Liu Biao? So Yuan Shu agreed without hesitation.
"Thank you, General, for your success. Next, I will dedicate the Chuan Guo Yuxi to the general. I wish the general go further as soon as possible and become the real master of Chuan Guo Yu Xi." Seeing that Yuan Shao agreed, Sun Ce turned his eyes and said again. Anyone who knows the Chuanguo jade seal knows the meaning of the watch brought by the Chuanguo jade seal. All those who coveted the jade seal of the country are unwilling to be ministers. This is the case of Sun Jian in those years, and today's Yuan Shu is the same. As the son of Sun Jian, Sun Ce has a very thorough understanding of this kind of psychology, so in one sentence, it comes to Yuan Shu's heart. What is the real owner of the national jade seal? The national jade seal is the proof that the emperor has the world. Of course, the real owner of the national jade seal is not only the national jade seal, but also the world. Sun Ce understands that he can be called the real owner of the national jade seal. Yuan Shu understands that Yuan Shu's advisers present naturally also know it, but no one wants to say it.
"Hahaha, show me the national jade seal." Hearing Sun Ce's words, Yuan Shu felt it more. Although he has not publicly broken with the Han Dynasty, everyone can see that the princes in the world are in charge of their own affairs, and the Han court is just empty. The reason why everyone maintains the status quo is that the princes do not want to be the target of public criticism and have a notorious rebellious reputation. It is the king's way to make a lot of money. However, even so, Yuan Shu's heart had long been moved by Wang Ba's heart, but there was no such power for a while.
Under Yuan Shu's eager eyes, Sun Ce finally handed over the box containing the Chuan Guo Yuxi in Yuan Shu's hand. Yuan Shu took the box with both hands, couldn't wait to open the box, took out the Chuan Guo Yu Xi and played with it.
"This is the national jade seal, which is really the national jade seal." Just as Yuan Shu was playing, everyone around Yuan Shu cast surprised eyes and marveled with Yuan Shu's play.
"With the order, Sun Ce was promoted to a lieutenant of the guard." Half of the time, after Yuan Shu finished playing the national jade seal, he gave the order and promoted Sun Ce to the official position. Obviously, Yuan Shu was really happy today.
"General, Sun Ce has great ambition. How can the general let Sun Ce lead the troops alone? Please think about it carefully and take back his life." Looking at Sun Ce leaving with satisfaction, Yuan Shu calmed down. Wei Zhongdao stood up and said to Yuan Shu.
"Ha ha, Sun Ce has great ambition? Yes, he does have great ambition, but his ambition is just to kill Liu Biao. This ambition is big enough for Sun Ce, a yellow-haired child. As for the rest, I can't see it." Hearing Wei Zhongdao say that Sun Ce had great ambition, Yuan Shu seemed to hear nonsense and said with laughter. However, Yuan Shu then played with the Chuanguo Yuxi in front of him and said, "I think this Chuanguo Yuxi was preserved by Sun Jian in those years. It was not allowed to be dedicated to me by Sun Ce. What's great ambition can such Sun Ce have? Moreover, if he wants to avenge Sun Jian, what else can he do besides relying on me? He is not Sun Jian. After saying that, Yuan Shu's mouth was full of sneering, and obviously he didn't care about Wei Zhongdao's words.
"Well, it's my subordinates who don't think about it." After listening to Yuan Shu's words, Wei Zhongdao could only shake his head helplessly and admit his mistake. Although he still feels that Yuan Shu underestimated Sun Ce, it is meaningless to say this. Naturally, Wei Zhongdao will not argue with Yuan Shu about these things. The purpose of Wei Zhongdao staying with Yuan Shu must be to avenge Lv Bu.
A few days later, a 20,000-person soldier and horse set out from Yuzhou and went straight to Xinye, Jingzhou. This team was not someone else but the vanguard led by Sun Ce to attack Jingzhou. Just as this soldier passed through Anping Town, suddenly a plut gathered around from all directions. It is very strange for the soldiers to see that these horses are not wearing formal costumes, but just ordinary people's costumes. But at this time, a middle-aged man came out among the people in front of him.
"General Huang Gai, are you here?" Seeing the figure of this middle-aged man, Sun Ce came out of the army and came to the middle-aged man and said.
"Major General, I see you again." Seeing Sun Ce, Huang Gai was obviously very happy, and there were tears in his eyes. Since Sun Jian's death in the war, these old people who followed Sun Jian have parted ways. Some continued to follow Sun Ce, and some have settled around. After entering Yuan Shujun, Huang Gai saw that Sun Ce was not valued, so he was angry. Go, in the past few years, I have always wanted to follow Sun Ce to restore the glory of Sun Jian in the past, so after receiving Sun Ce's call, I contacted the old man in the past and finally saw Sun Ce here.
"Old general, you have worked hard over the years. I, Sun Ce, get out of trouble today, and I will definitely regain my old glory and complete my father's great career." Looking at the dusty yellow cover in front of him, Sun Ce said gratefully. Then under the leadership of Huang Gai, Sun Ce and the people behind Huang Gai saluted. Sun Ce understands that these people are the strength he can rely on and the cornerstone of his future.
"With the addition of these people, Brother Xian can really control this army." Looking at the people in front of him, Zhou Yu came behind Sun Ce and said.
"This matter has been arranged by Lao Xiandi." Su Sun Ce naturally understood what Zhou Yu meant. He wanted to use the people brought by Huang Gai in front of him to firmly control the 20,000 soldiers and horses sent to him by Yuan Shu. So he nodded to Zhou Yu and said.
After getting the information that Yuan Shu was going to attack Jingzhou and Sun Ce had led the troops, Liu Biao quickly sent troops to gather at the border of Jingzhou. Xinye, as an important border town in Jingzhou, became the focus of Jingzhou's defense at this time.
However, what no one expected was that when Sun Ce took Yuan Shao's 20,000 soldiers and horses into the Xinye border, he suddenly disappeared and there was no trace.
A month later, on the wharf of the Lujiang River, a large ship slowly left the port of Lujiang and sailed to the south of the Yangtze River. A handsome figure was standing in the bow of the boat, looking at the Lujiang River where Zhu Jian was far away, with a solemn expression.
"What's the matter, is the good brother a little reluctant to leave?" At this time, an equally young figure in the cabin came out, holding two glasses of wine in his hand, handed the middle cup to the teenager standing on the bow and said. This person is Zhou Yu, and the teenager in Jiangbei who has been standing in the bow of the boat and staring at him is Sun Ce.
"I'm wondering when I can come back after this walk. I left too many things here." Looking at Jiangbei, where Zhu Jian is far away, Sun Ce's mood is a little complicated. Although his time in Jiangbei is not long, he has left too many memories. These memories are doomed to be impossible for him to forget in his life.
"We will come back soon. Although my uncle has passed away, he has excellent connections in the south of the Yangtze River. As long as the virtuous brother raises his arms and the people and horses we bring from Yuan Shu this time, I believe that we can dominate the south of the Yangtze River in less than a few years. At that time, I will help the virtuous brother come back and kill all the hatred of the past. Make it clear." Looking at Sun Ce's complicated expression, Zhou Yu said slowly that he had already had a plan for the future.
While Sun Ce left Lujiang by boat, outside Xinye City, Yuan Shu was sulking in the big tent.
"A bunch of rubbish, for such a long time, I can't even take down a small Xinye. What's the use of you?" Looking at the generals and advisers in front of him, Yuan Shu shouted angrily. Originally, Yuan Shu was just about to attack Jingzhou, but Sun Ce sent the national jade seal. In this way, Yuan Shu thought it was the blessing of God, which indicated that he had a king's domineering spirit, but he didn't think that when Yuan Shu got the national jade seal was not much. First, Sun Ce took his 20,000 soldiers and horses and disappeared, and then Yuan Shu led the army to make new achievements. It came from the wild, but at this time, the reinforcements of the Jingzhou army were also in place, so that although Yuan Shu had attacked Xinye City for days, it had no effect.
"Report to the general, it's not good. The military situation came from Wancheng, saying that Lv Bujun was gathering in the direction of Wancheng and asking for reinforcements." Just as Yuan Shu was angry and lost his temper, suddenly a soldier ran in in a hurry and told Yuan Shu a message that shocked Yuan Shu.
