Han Dao world

Chapter 910
Sun Ce and Yu Fan sat across from each other, and looked at the casualty statistics reported by Dong Xigang, smiling all over their faces.

"Sir, it's great for you to come. With the new tactics you taught, we don't have to worry about encountering rangers again. You don't know, we have thought of many ways to deal with these rangers before, but they have little effect." micro."

Yu Fan smiled. "This is not my result, it is the research result of the martial arts hall. More than [-]% of the students in the martial arts hall are from Liangzhou, and they are the most clear about the pros and cons of infantry and cavalry."

Sun Ce's eyes flickered slightly, and he was silent for a moment. "Sir, do I have to send Zhongmou as a hostage?"

The smile on Yu Fan's face also faded. "General, what are you worried about? The emperor entrusted you with various tasks, and allowed you to separatist overseas. Shouldn't you send your children as hostages? Or is your purpose not overseas, but still in the Central Plains?"

Sun Ce was taken aback, and quickly waved his hands and said, "Sir, why did you say that? My late father accepted the state's favor and regarded me as a lord. I have been entrusted by His Majesty with responsibility. How can I have the heart of disobedience?"

"Then why do you keep pushing and giving quality?"

"I don't worry about Zhongmou. He is too young, and he doesn't want to be under others. When he is in the industry, he will inevitably be bullied. If he can't help it and conflicts with others, wouldn't it be..." Sun Ce said with a wry smile: " How about another person? For example, Shu Bi, he is seventeen, so he can be a boy boy. Didn’t you say that Biaozi Liu Cong became a boy boy?”

Yu Fan sneered and said, "Liu Biao is a civil servant, and he is now drawing scrolls in Luoyang. If you are willing to go to Luoyang, let alone Uncle Bi, you can let your son Sun Shao go."

Sun Ce let out a long sigh, very helpless.

Yu Fan brought some students from the martial arts hall to assist him in fighting, which really helped him a lot.But Yu Fan's request for a hostage made him very entangled.

It's not that he has any dissatisfaction with the court, it's just that he is reluctant to part with his younger siblings, especially his second brother Sun Quan.

Different from other siblings, the second younger brother, Sun Quan, is not only born with abnormal vision and unique appearance, but also has a shrewd personality that other younger siblings do not possess.

Someone once said that among their brothers, only Sun Quan has the appearance of longevity, and he is very precious.

He was reluctant to send such a younger brother to the court as a hostage.

He would rather send his third younger brother Sun Yi there.

It's not that he doesn't love Sun Yi, but he feels that Sun Yi is too similar to him, and his future achievements will not only surpass him.If Sun Yi can be made a man and accept the influence of the emperor, he might have something to do in the future.

But Yu Fan strongly opposed it and insisted that he send Sun Quan as a hostage.

This frustrates him.Yu Fan, who was once loyal to him, has changed, and now he only thinks about the court.

"Sacrificing wine and delivering gifts, can we wait a little longer." Dong Xi stood aside, with a smile on his face, and said cautiously: "The emperor didn't mention it, and it won't be too late to talk about it after the war is over."

"Fool! What do you know?" Yu Fan suddenly changed his expression and shouted sharply: "The emperor doesn't care if he doesn't mention it. There are too many people available in the imperial court. There is no General Sun, but there are others. With the support of the imperial court, what can he do? Without war horses, can he make contributions in Liaodong? Without new warships, can he conquer overseas? You only see Yecheng, do you want Yecheng to be the last battle?"

Dong Xi smiled embarrassingly, not daring to say a word.

He and Yu Fan are from the same hometown, both from Yuyao, so they have the courage to speak up in front of Yu Fan.Yu Fan scolded him loudly, but he was not angry.Yu Fan had already saved him face, and if it was someone else, he might have hit him directly.

Sun Ce's face changed, and he looked up at Yu Fan.

He is a smart man, he knew that it was Dong Xi who Yu Fan scolded, but he was the one who beat him.

Yu Fan was right, without horses, he would have no cavalry to use, and he would have no chance to make meritorious service in the Liaodong battlefield in the future.Without the new warships that the imperial court is researching, sea expeditions would be out of the question.

In short, the court can live without him, but he cannot live without the court.

The emperor does not take quality, because the emperor has too many choices.

He doesn't have that many options.If he doesn't send a pledge now, the siege of Yecheng may be his last battle.

Sun Ce gritted his teeth. "Sir, I listen to you, let Zhongmou go back with you."

Still angry, Yu Fan nodded and stood up. "General, when Zhongmou arrives, you brothers can communicate more letters. Then, you will know why I did this. This world is no longer what you think it is."

After speaking, he flicked his sleeves and walked away.

Sun Ce and Dong Xi looked at each other.

Zhang Hong and Yu Fan passed by, and wanted to say hello, but Yu Fan ignored him.Zhang Hong was very surprised, but didn't say much.

After entering the tent, he asked Sun Ce, "General, what happened to Yu Jijiu?"

Sun Ce waved his hand. "Leave him alone. What's the matter?"

It was only then that Zhang Hong noticed that both Sun Ce and Dong Xi's complexions were not very good. After thinking about it for a while, he guessed the general idea, and then handed over the letter in his hand.

"Just received the news from Chen Lin that Chen Deng was attacked and killed."

Sun Ce was taken aback, glanced at Zhang Hong, and quickly opened the letter.

Chen Lin's letter was written to Zhang Hong, and the purpose was simple, just to ask Zhang Hong if he wanted to switch to Sun Ce, would Sun Ce accept him.

Chen Deng's death in battle brought him quite a shock.

On the one hand, Zhang Yun's ability is beyond their imagination.Under the eyes of Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, Zhang Yun succeeded in attacking Chen Deng and beheaded him in the first battle.

On the other hand, Chen Lin also suspected that Liu Bei killed someone with a knife, deliberately wanting to see Chen Deng's jokes.

Chen Deng was born in a noble family and had a very high vision. He didn't even look down on Yuan Shu, and he couldn't talk about the righteousness of a monarch and minister to Liu Bei. He was more like a collaborator.It is also reasonable for Liu Bei to want to use Zhang He's hand to beat Chen Deng.It's just that I didn't expect to play off this time, and Chen Deng was killed in battle.

Chen Lin wasn't originally Liu Bei's confidant, but Yuan Shao's former subordinate.The fundamental reason why he sent himself to Liu Bei was still Chen Deng.Now that Chen Deng is dead, Chen Lin doesn't want to be under Liu Bei anymore, and wants to rely on Zhang Hong's relationship to switch to Sun Ce.

Sun Ce had no idea about Chen Linlai's vote, but Chen Deng's death made him vigilant.

Fighting in Jizhou, the value of cavalry is better than that of the Central Plains.When Chen Deng's entire army was wiped out, it was caused by the cavalry led by Zhang Yun and Gao Lan.Now that Chen Deng was defeated by Zhang Yun again, and the cavalry rushed again, it was enough to be a warning.

He is as short of cavalry as Chen Deng.The tactics Yu Fan taught him can only be used against small-scale rangers, not thousands of cavalry, so Yu Fan tried his best to ask him to send a pledge in exchange for the imperial court appropriating war horses, so that he has the opportunity to form his own cavalry. cavalry.

He also has generals who can command cavalry, such as Cheng Pu, Han Dang, or Chen Wu, but he does not have enough horses and must apply to the court.

He can't afford to buy it with his own money.

Besides, even if he wants to buy it, no one may be willing to sell it to him.

This matter cannot be delayed, the sooner the better.

"Zigang, I'm going to send Zhongmou to walk, take a test of free riding, or teach martial arts. Do you think it's feasible?"

Zhang Hong pondered for a moment. "I think it's feasible. How about this, Quanzi has reached the age when he should be an official, so let him go with Zhongmou. Yu Yu's offer of wine may be useful in the future."

Seeing this, Dong Xi hurriedly said, "Let the dog go too."
