three kings

Chapter 260
Xiangyang City, the backyard of Zhennan General's Mansion.

"The sky has changed drastically, and the war is about to come to Jinghuai. The general is so leisurely, he must have a plan for the future war." A gentle and leisurely young voice suddenly sounded behind Sun Can, "The 70 army is about to come and don't care. , Turning a blind eye, no wonder the lord is so respected, as the saying goes, 'The most powerful enemy in this world is only Sun Ziyu'."

Sun Can smiled regretfully when he heard the words: "That's Meng Demiao's praise... Can's preparations for the battle are mainly cautious, and he is confident that he can deceive anyone, and he is quite self-sufficient. Unexpectedly, Mr. who just came here, he saw through Can at a glance. The intention. Mr. Sun Can really admires you for his great talent."

The person who spoke was the envoy sent by Cao Cao, Xun Yu's nephew, Xun You and Xun Wenruo.He looks quite similar to Xun Yu, but he doesn't have Xun Yu's elegant and calm temperament at all. Instead, he is dull and cowardly.

His eyes flashed a little, and he said: "When I met the general that day, I saw that there was a seal of General Zhennan on the table of your lord. The seal is also the general's personal order. With it, you can command tens of thousands of troops in Jingzhou. You will definitely not use this seal. The seal is placed on the case table, the only explanation is that the generals often use it and temporarily put it on the table for the convenience of doing things. However, the seal of an adult is extremely precious and can only be used for important events.

Jingzhou has been governed for a long time, even if there is a big event, it needs to be stamped with a seal, and there is no need to put the seal on the table.Non-political affairs are military affairs, so a random guess, which can be expected, is purely accidental.But I don't know why the general is so unwise, and even made such a foolish strategy. "

Three days ago, Xun You came to Xiangyang under Cao Cao's order, intending to form an alliance to resist Yuan Shao.At that time, Sun Can had already discussed with the counselors.

Cao Cao's strength had been greatly weakened, and he could not help himself to consume Yuan Shao's strength, so he planned to take the opportunity to surprise Guandu, and when Cao Cao was dealing with Yuan Shao, he sent out light cavalry to attack Cao Cao's camp and put him to death.

When Xun You came to visit, he was drafting an order to dispatch troops, but unexpectedly he explained Sun Can's intention to dispatch troops to attack the Central Plains in one word.

Sun Can turned pale when he heard this. Only a few people in the army knew this method. Xun You hit it off with a single word. He immediately understood that this person's talent was not inferior to those of his several great advisers, and immediately had the idea of ​​keeping him in Xiangyang. .Treat him in every possible way, and ask Xun Yu to help persuade him.

However, Xun Yu vetoed it outright. He knew his nephew too well. Since he had already joined Cao Cao's command, there was absolutely no possibility of him switching to someone else.

Unwilling to give up, Sun Can still tried his best to recruit, but Xun You never had any intention of switching to himself.

On this day, he realized that he had nothing to do with Xun You, so he was going to have a showdown with Xun You.

Sun Can didn't answer Xun You's words directly, but thought solemnly about the situation that he just read from the Northern Newspaper.

Yuan Shao and Cao Cao still fought several times in Guandu, and the two sides fought hard.To say that there is no winner is actually Yuan Shao winning and Cao Cao losing.After all, the strengths of the two are different. Cao Cao's strength becomes weaker as he consumes it, but Yuan Shao's strength is still extremely powerful, far above himself and Cao Cao.

He is now considering a question, whether to send troops to solve Cao Cao's future troubles.

Cao Cao's potential is not only known to Liu Hua, he, Xun Yu, Guo Jia, and Jia Xu are all aware of it.Now Cao Cao has steadily dragged Yuan Shao for a year and three months, and Cao Cao, who was already weak, was almost exhausted.Even if you want to resist, it is impossible to resist Yuan Shao for a long time.

If Cao Cao is stabbed in the back at this time, not only can Cao Cao, a formidable enemy, be eliminated, but he can also enter the Central Plains smoothly.

But he changed his mind: the Central Plains, a land of hundreds of battles, is surrounded by enemies on all sides.If there is no stable strength, it will always be in danger.Although Cao Cao dominates one side and supports Emperor Xian, he has the prestige to conquer the world.However, he has Yuan Shao in the north and himself in the south.

Therefore, he has already been Cao Cao's elbow and armpits, even if Yuan Shao is strong, he will never relax his vigilance against him.

It seems that Cao Cao sent Xun You this time not for the purpose of forming a hypocritical alliance against Yuan Shao.Instead, seeing the current situation clearly, knowing that he had lost the chance to defeat Yuan Shao, he planned to abandon the Central Plains and seek another development.But he was afraid that he would fall into trouble, so he asked Xun You to persuade him not to send troops north and cut off his back.No wonder Xun You guessed right, it turned out that he came for this purpose.

Thinking of this, Sun Can smiled and said, "Are you stupid? Then I hope you can give me some pointers. To be honest, Mr. Sun has assembled an army of [-], and he can directly stab Meng De in the chest at any time."

Xun You didn't answer but asked instead, "What does the general think of my lord?"

"An extraordinary person, Can's great enemy, has to be eliminated." Sun Can has already planned to send troops to break Cao Cao's way back.

Xun You turned a blind eye to Sun Can's tone, nodded and said, "Since this is the case, since my lord is regarded as a great enemy by the general, there must be something special about him."

"Of course!"

"Coincidentally, in the eyes of my lord, there is only one general who can compete with him in the world today." Xun You said with a smile: "My lord also said that there is only one general in his confidant."

Sun Can remained silent.

Xun You went on to say: "Since the general is regarded as a confidant by my lord, I think he also understands my lord's ability very well."

Sun Can still didn't answer, he couldn't understand what Xun You wanted to say now, he didn't know what tricks Xun You was playing, if he answered rashly, he might fall into the trap set by the other party.Therefore, he chose to remain silent, and he signaled Xun You to continue with his eyes.

Xun You went on to say: "The general has about 15 men, but Yuan Shao has 70 men. If you fight, the outcome is five or five. But..." If the decibels were raised, Xun You said: "If my lord defected Yuan Shao, then, general, do you still think that in the future battle between Sun and Yuan, general, you still have a five-point chance of winning?"

Sun Can's face trembled slightly, and there was a huge wave in his heart.He understood what Xun You meant, if he forced Cao Cao too quickly, when he had nowhere to go, he would defect to Yuan Shao and help Yuan Shao deal with him.Originally, Liu Bei appeared in Yuan Shao's army, which greatly increased Yuan Shao's strength. If Cao Cao was under Yuan Shao's command, then his side would have no chance of winning.

What a Cao Cao, when he was in such a desperate situation, he was able to threaten himself without any damage.

Sun Can said in a low voice unwillingly, "How could Yuan Shao accept Cao Cao?"

"Haha!" Xun You laughed loudly: "The general knows that he is an advisor. Yuan Shao was your friend. Don't you know what he is like? As long as my lord surrenders, Yuan Shao's self-righteous and ecstatic character must feel that he The lord of true destiny, congratulations from all over the world. If you are too happy, how can you not accept it?"

PS, something happened temporarily, the update is late.
