three kings

Chapter 318 Entering Yuan Shao of the Central Plains
After listening to Guo Jia's words, Sun Can knew that he must have a wonderful way, and said: "What is a good way to serve filial piety, come and tell me quickly!"

Guo Jia looked towards the river and said: "Cao Cao took Guanzhong only a year ago. The people's hearts are not stable. Ma Teng of Xiliang and Han Sui both wanted to take Guanzhong. Back then, these two sent troops to Guanzhong, but they were outnumbered. It was defeated by Li Jue and Guo Si. Now, it is only necessary for people to go back and forth between Guanzhong and Liangzhou to spread rumors. In Guanzhong, it is said that Ma Teng, Han Sui's army is ready to attack Guanzhong; in Liangzhou, it is said that Cao Cao intends to invade Liangzhou .Then, the lord sent [-] troops to approach Luoyang from Wancheng. So, Cao Cao was suspicious and would not dare to send troops."

Sun Can's eyes lit up. Rumors cannot be hidden from Cao Cao, but they can be hidden from Ma Teng and Han Sui.As long as the two of them fall into the trap, they will definitely prepare their army and horses to meet the incoming enemy.However, Cao Cao is suspicious. Even though he knew that this might be a trick, he still couldn't help scolding the spies to investigate. When he found Ma Teng, Han Sui was preparing his army, and he sent troops to Luoyang again. He couldn't help but not believe it. The possibility of rumors, if there is no accident, Cao Cao may still link himself with Ma Teng and Han Sui, so Cao Cao, who is basically unstable, fears that he will be attacked on both sides, so he will not dare to send troops rashly.

He picked up a stone and threw it into the distance with a "plop", the stone sank into the water, looked at the ripples rippling around the water, and said with a smile: "That's it, capturing the Central Plains is just the first step to unify the world. Whether or not the unification can be truly realized is now the real beginning.”

Guo Jia looked at the calm ripples on the river, and said, "No matter how big the storm is, there will be a day when it will calm down. Go to the end."

"Haha" Sun Can laughed, "Let's go, let's go see Yuan Shao."

Huaihe Camp.

"General!" There were many guards at the entrance of the luxurious tent where Yuan Shao was under house arrest.

"You have worked hard!" Sun Can smiled at them, then said: "Did you treat him badly?"

The captain of the guard talked to Sun Can so closely, he was a little nervous, but also a little excited, "General, we have always treated Yuan Shao as a distinguished guest according to your instructions, and we will never neglect you."

"Okay!" Sun Can walked in with a smile.

"Sun Can, what are you doing here?" Just after entering the tent, a mighty young man glared at Sun Can with hostility.

"It's nothing, just take a look!" Sun Can gently avoided this kind of exposed hostility, destroying everything by himself, it's normal to have this kind of hostility.What's more, he didn't expect the other party to give him a good face.

"Come and see our joke?" A young man who was younger and more handsome than the previous young man stared at him fiercely.

Sun Can ignored it, looked at Yuan Shao with dull eyes, and said, "Brother Benchu, these two are your two sons, right? It's really rare to be able to do this at this juncture."

Yuan Shao sighed slightly, and then said decisively: "The winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit. I, Yuan Shao, have nothing to say if I fall into your hands today. If you want to kill or widow, you can do whatever you want. I am the son of the Yuan family." , definitely not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death."

Sun Can smiled and said: "I understand this, but don't worry, I'm not here to deal with you, on the contrary, I'm here to let you go."

Yuan Shao was stunned for a while, but recovered quickly, and said coldly, "What are the conditions?"

"I want four people, Tian Feng, Jushou, Zhang He, and Gao Lan. As long as I use these four people, I can exchange you back unscathed." Sun Can said word by word.

"Impossible!" Yuan Shao frowned slightly, but his refusal was extremely resolute, without any room for turning around, "Although I, Yuan Shao, was defeated by your Sun Can, I will never do anything to insult my Yuan family. If I agree to your request, how will the world treat me, Yuan Shao."

Sun Can shook his head and did not persevere. He knew Yuan Shao's personality very well, and he would never do anything that would shame the Yuan family, even if he died, he would not be afraid.Now that he has taken this step, he has the intention of dying.Winners and losers, that's all.He, Yuan Shao, is considered a hero anyway, there is no need for him to resort to some nasty tricks to force Yuan Shao to bow his head.If I really did it and spread it, it would not only be bad for my reputation, but it might also arouse the resentment of Tian Feng, Ju Shou, Zhang He, and Gao Lan. The most important thing is that Yuan Shao couldn't bear the humiliation and committed suicide.In this way, isn't it tantamount to helping Liu Bei?I also plan to let Yuan Shao contain Liu Bei.

He patted and said crisply: "As long as you immediately order the entire army to withdraw from Henan, Yan, and Xu states, and give up the Central Plains, I will let you go immediately, and I will never break my promise."

"Let us go first, otherwise how can we trust you?" Yuan Tan said loudly.

"Joke!" Sun Can said with a sneer: "My lord, don't interrupt me, you little brat. Do you think that your military horses in Henan, Yan, and Xu are still capable of contending with me without a leader? Even without you , according to my strength, within half a month, I can hold Yu, Yan, and Xu three states in my arms."

Yuan Tan's face turns green and turns pale. Just 20 years ago, in Luoyang, he gave a big gift to Sun Can, who was no older than him, and called him uncle for several years. He was upset, but he didn't continue talking.

Yuan Shao was trapped in a cage at the moment, but he calmed down a lot.Everyone is afraid of death, but a valuable death can make people forget the fear of death. If the face of the Yuan family is exchanged for his life, then he would rather die.If it doesn't hurt the Yuan family's face too much, in his heart, he still yearns for survival.If he retreated, he would really be able to exchange his own life, so he was still a little moved.

He said: "Since Ziyu has the ability to obtain Yu, Yan, and Xu three states, why let me go?" He knew that Sun Can was very cunning, and he was afraid that he would be deceived by him for a while and do something unforgivable.Therefore, he didn't answer Sun Can's question after he didn't ask why.

Sun Can rested his chin on his hand and thought for a while, before deciding to tell Yuan Shao the truth.Liu Bei's ability is far superior to Yuan Shao's. When the two confront each other, the outcome will be divided into four or six. If Liu Bei is kept in the dark, Yuan Shao's situation will be even more unbearable. Cannibalized by Liu Bei.So, he said truthfully: "I let you go to deal with Liu Bei!"

"Liu Bei?" Yuan Shao thought of that person who wasn't very talented.

"Maybe in your eyes Liu Bei is not enough to pose a threat to you, but in my eyes, Liu Bei is much stronger than you." Sun Can said with a smile: "Do you know why Gongsun Du came to attack at this time? Youzhou?"

Yuan Shao's body shook suddenly, and his eyes showed fear. At this moment, he suddenly remembered what Ju Shou said before he left:

"My lord. Liu Bei is like a poisonous snake in the mountains. It usually does not show the mountains and does not leak water. It only shows its fangs at critical times."

"My lord, Liu Bei has a better chance of overthrowing the Yuan Dynasty than Sun Can."

"My lord, if you don't kill Liu Bei, the Yuan Dynasty will be swallowed by Liu Bei sooner or later..."
