three kings

Chapter 209 Entering the Heart of Xu Shu in the Central Plains
Seeing Cai Yan's expression full of joy, Sun Can was very satisfied, put his arms around Cai Yan from behind, and said, "This little thing is called a peacock, and that old fellow Shi Xie paid tribute."

Cai Yanjiao smiled and said, "You are so bad! People give you things and speak ill of others."

"That's why you don't understand. That old guy Shi Xie paid so much tribute, and it's definitely not just to form an alliance with me. That old man is very cunning!" Sun Can chuckled, how could Shi Xie's thoughts be hidden from him.

Shi Xie is not an ambitious man, he just wants to live a better life for himself, to have a better reputation, so that his children can thrive under his protection.

Jiaozhou is located in a barren state, and the sparse population is doomed that he will never be able to compete with himself, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and other princes.The only idea is to attach to a powerful vassal and become a subordinate vassal under his tender shade.

The reason why he responded to Yuan Shao's call was firstly because he was powerful, and secondly because he was besieged by the princes of the Six Routes, and there were very few vicious ones, so he wanted to please Yuan Shao.However, now the princes of the Six Routes have formed an alliance with Sun Can in the Five Routes, and his route will fall into the danger of being attacked from both sides.

As long as you are not a fool, you should be able to guess who is the real mastermind behind the scenes.In order to prevent himself from retaliation, he deliberately gave such a big gift.Of course, there is also a pleasing meaning in this. After all, the first battle between Yuan and Sun has not yet started, and it is still unknown who is the real overlord and the number one prince in the world.Therefore, Shi Xie's gift-giving also meant to leave a way out for himself.

However, Cai Yan didn't understand these intrigues, and Sun Can didn't need to explain to her that he didn't want to spoil the scenery when he had a rare time of enjoyment.So, he said with a smile: "Yan'er, you are kind, beautiful, and luxurious, and this peacock is also a symbol of kindness, beauty, and luxury. How about it, do you like it?"

Seeing Sun Can praise her so much, Cai Yan immediately blushed.

"Oh... If you don't talk, it means you don't like it, so I will stew it immediately. It is said that its meat is much more delicious than ordinary bird meat." It looked as if it would tear the peacock into pieces.

"How dare you..." Cai Yan was in a hurry. Everyone has a love for beauty. The peacock is the most beautiful bird Cai Yan has ever seen. What's more, this bird was given by her sweetheart. It was too late to like it. How could she stew it? ?He looked at Sun Can helplessly with a look of sadness.

"Okay! I won't tease you anymore. As long as Yan'er likes something, I will pick it for you even if it is a star in the sky, let alone a peacock." Sun Can said seriously.

Cai Yan nestled happily in Sun Can's arms, and the two told each other love words that only belonged to them.

Sun Can on Diao Chan's side naturally couldn't favor one over another, when he personally delivered a lively macaque that could imitate human actions to Diao Chan's hands.

Diao Chan jumped up happily, and gave Sun Can two passionate kisses without any scruples.

Ten days passed in a blink of an eye.

Sun Can sent away the trembling soldiers, why they were trembling, this is due to the powerful army under Sun Can's command.

In order to impress this nobleman, Sun Can specially held a large-scale military parade. A total of [-] soldiers from Sun Can's army participated in the grand ceremony.

The [-] Iron Army displayed their training results on the Xiangjiang Plain in a murderous spirit.

Gao Shun's "Trapping Camp" told Shiyan what is invincible; Xu Huang's "Leopard Camp" told Shiyan what orders must be respected and orders must be obeyed; Zhao Yun's "Eagle Riding Camp" told Shiyan what is Cavalry with destructive power; "Ruijin Camp", "Qingmu Camp", "Flood Camp", "Fire Camp", and "Thick Earth Camp", these five-element barracks told Shiyan what it means to make the best use of one's talents.

After the military parade, Shi Qian only had one sentence in his mind, "Sun Jiajun is indeed the 'No. [-] Army in the World'."

After sending Shiyan away, Sun Canjun's future troubles have almost been eliminated, and the whole army has entered the process of development.

The clever trick of recruiting people to farm fields was finally implemented on the land of Jingzhou. Under the auspices of Chen Qun and Yu Fan, rivers and canals were diverted to flow into paddy fields, and acres of barren land were also developed.

In order to stabilize the people of Jingzhou as soon as possible, Sun Can promulgated several measures and policies to benefit the people in Jingzhou, including exemption from customs duties, city tax, and borrowing tax when borrowing farm tools.

In addition, a market is also set up, and business seats allow farmers and merchants to gather together to increase the prosperity of the territory.

With many conveniences, the people of Jingzhou are full of energy, and it is a scene of enthusiasm.

"My lord, are you coming to see Mr. Xu Shu?" Just as Sun Can was walking aimlessly in the camp after inspecting the barracks, a timid voice suddenly disrupted Sun Can's train of thought.

Xun Sheng raised his head, and Sun Can realized that he had unknowingly come to the place where Xu Shu was imprisoned.Here is a large tent, divided into two.A bedroom, a guest room.

There are many books in the guest room. If you don't know who it is, you may treat Xu Shu as a distinguished guest instead of a prisoner.

It was because Sun Can took special care of Xu Shu. Except for the grounding, Sun Can promised him everything else. If he wanted books, he would have books and water. It can be said that he lived very comfortably.

They come, the security.

Now that I have arrived here, there is no reason not to go in and sit around. Anyway, I am also a frequent visitor here, and I will only be rejected once at most.After weighing it over and over again, Sun Can finally decided to go in.

Surprisingly, Sun Can actually saw his father Liu Hua.

Xu Shu is playing chess with Liu Hua on the chessboard. Liu Hua's chess skills are very good. With his thousand years of technical experience, Xu Shu is no match at all.

Three battles and three defeats, the big dragon on the chessboard will be completely eaten by Liu Hua without anyone noticing.

"Mr.'s chess moves are not in accordance with common sense, and the ambush is also elusive. I am definitely no opponent." Xu Shu expressed his sincere admiration for Liu Hua.

Liu Hua smiled "hehe", "I have a few more years of experience, but it is not worth mentioning. It is indeed Yuanzhi who has integrated the way of chess into the art of war. He is indeed a rare genius in the world. No wonder Can'er respects Yuanzhi very much and dare not neglect him." .”

Xu Shu said in a harmonious voice: "General's sincerity, I have known it for a long time, and I am very grateful in my heart. But my Lord Xuande ignored my low status and gave the military advisor a heavy responsibility. He trusted me in every possible way, even if he miscalculated several times, he would not lose any love. .The kindness of knowing you is better than the high mountains and the deep sea. I am not a cold-blooded person, so I dare not forget the great kindness of knowing and meeting all the time. Do you have any thoughts of betraying the Lord?"

"Sir..." Sun Can listened to these firm words, and felt extremely bitter in his heart. Thinking that he was a 17-year-old leader, he almost always won more than he lost, and all heroes from all over the world returned their hearts, but now he met Xu Shu ten times in a row. The more than one nail was really a blow to Sun Can.

After leaving Xu Shu's residence, Sun Can felt unable to lift his spirits.

Liu Hua, who was beside him, said at this time: "It is not difficult to get Xu Shu to surrender. As long as filial piety is used to suppress foolish loyalty, and great righteousness to suppress small righteousness, one person needs to be persuaded, and Xu Shu will definitely surrender."
