Three Kingdoms

Bashu.

Zhang Ren can't say whether he likes or dislikes Fei Qian, the general who conquered the west. Similarly, Zhang Ren can't say how loyal he is to Liu Zhang, because Zhang Ren has never met Fei Qian at all, so naturally he can't say whether he likes or dislikes him. Zhang Ren simply didn't like the feeling of being invaded.

Men naturally like to take more initiative on their own.

Waiting and passive acceptance are not a man's choice, at least, that's what Zhang Ren thinks. Therefore, Zhang Ren feels that instead of waiting in Langzhong for the Zhengxi troops to come, it is better to look for an opportunity that he can control!

Especially when Zhang Ren didn't wait for the news of the messenger sent out to contact the people around him for a long time, the sense of crisis and pressure pressed on Zhang Ren, making Zhang Ren have a strong feeling of wanting to vent.

In fact, Zhang Ren didn't completely believe Yuan Yue, but as long as Yuan Yue lured the Zhengxi troops out, Zhang Ren was not willing to remain in a stalemate, and I believe Zhengxi was definitely not willing either.

People who are often capricious, good and bad, have always been a problem in Bashu. Therefore, the personnel sent to contact the person lost contact, which alerted Zhang Ren, but it did not reach the level of alarm. Let Yuan Yue go, even if the worst result is that he will join Zhengxi instead, he is not afraid, because Zhang Ren does not intend to wait in Langzhong at all, but decides to ambush him halfway!

Anyway, if you want to cross Langzhong, you must go through Langshui. When Yuan Yue and the Zhengxi troops thought that Zhang Ren would be waiting for them at the foot of Langzhong City, the lurking killing situation on the way would become even more brutal!

At least, Zhang Ren knew that there were three good locations...

After Zhang Ren sent Yuan Yue away, he kept looking back and forth at the three locations on the map. The first location was too far away, and when the Zhengxi troops encountered such dangerous terrain, they would more or less send scouts to investigate in advance. In addition, they had just set off not long ago. Presumably, whether they were Zhengxi generals or ordinary soldiers, they must be vigilant. The nature is still high, so although the first location is steep, it is not suitable as an ambush point.

Zhang Ren was hesitating whether to choose the second or third ambush location. The second one has the benefits of the second one, and the third ambush point also has another benefit, making Zhang Ren a little difficult to make a choice.

"Qin Zhi..." Zhang Ren's eyes still stayed on the map, greeting Qin Mi, and then pointed at the map and said, "If you come to choose a place to ambush, where will you choose?"

Qin Mi took a closer look, and after thinking for a moment, he clicked the folding fan in his hand on the middle position on the map. The second ambush point in Zhang Ren's mind said: "This is the best!" The folding fan is actually a sign of victory. This kind of folding fan is a new thing promoted by General Xi, because the production process is not complicated, so there are many imitations quickly, although it may not have the precision and ingenuity of the original product in General Zheng Xi's workshop. , but these slightly rough imitations, with their low prices and convenient procurement, are still sought after by many people, and Qin Mi is one of them.

Not everyone will choose genuine copies, and there are many reasons for choosing pirated copies, but no matter what the reason is, it actually reflects one of the most important reasons, which is poverty, either physically or psychologically.

Zhengxi folding fan is a low-end bamboo paper fan that Qin Mi feels is shameless to use. After all, people around him use gold-painted fans or jade bone fans. However, the original Zhengxi folding fan is too expensive and costs more than an ordinary gold-painted fan. Five Zhengxi gold coins!

Not to mention the jade bone silk fan...

Therefore, the relatively cheap local gold-painted fans from Sichuan and Sichuan naturally became Qin Mi's first choice. Although the fan bones are not so finely polished and occasionally have some burrs, they are cheap after all!

"Why?" Zhang Ren didn't raise his head, still staring at the map, not caring about what Qin Mi was holding.

Qin Mi opened the folding fan with a loud bang, shook it twice, closed it again with a loud bang, and said: "The mountains here are high, the forests are dense, the road is narrow and the water is deep, which is the best place for an ambush... If it is close to Langzhong, it is not bad. However, the people who conquered the West must be prepared before the battle, but there was no miraculous effect..."

Zhang Ren pondered for a moment, then raised his head and smiled at Qin Mi and said, "Qin's envoys are really thoughtful. In this way, if someone leads troops to ambush Zhengxi, Langzhong city defense will have to worry many Qin envoys... …”

Qin Mi quickly straightened his face and said: "Don't worry, General Zhang, Mi will definitely do his best to wait for the general's triumphant return!"

Zhang Ren nodded, smiled, and said: "In this case, when the war is approaching and the affairs are heavy, I will not delay Qin's work..."

Qin Mi understood and bowed his hands, and resigned first.

Zhang Ren's eyes stayed on Qin Mi's back for a moment, and then fell back on the map on the table. After a while, Zhang Ren focused all his attention on the ambush point closest to Langzhong. .

Just like what Qin Mi said, perhaps when the generals of Zhengxi approached Langzhong, they would be a little wary because they were about to see their opponents. This is not wrong, but...

It's not that Zhang Ren doesn't believe in Qin Mi, but thinking about it from another perspective, since Qin Mi can think of it, can the generals who conquer the west think of it?

If the generals who conquered the west had the same considerations as Qin Mi, then this place near Langzhong would become the best place for an ambush!

Because I know the exact location of my opponent, even if I am alert, after passing through the best ambush points twice without being attacked, I am afraid that I will be somewhat relaxed along the way, so...

Zhang Ren slapped his palm on the table to ambush Zheng Xi!

…………………………

The warship went down the river and headed eastward along the river. The shadows of the trees on both sides of the bank are whirling, the green mountains and green bamboos, mixed with the layers of white mist on the rolling hills, are like two undulating emerald green brocades, and like the soft waist of a woman from the south of the Yangtze River.

Sun Ce stood on the bow of the warship, watching the bow break through the river water, and the surrounding fields were filled with green, which was intoxicating and comfortable. The cool wind from the river blew in his face, and Sun Ce's worries for the past few days were swept away. He let out a long whistle. The sound of the whistle traveled along the river and spread far and wide, attracting the attention of some fisherwomen who were fishing by the river. , a few of them looked up and saw Sun Ce, especially Zhou Yu beside Sun Ce, and couldn't help but sing along with them a passionate love song, expressing their love for the two gentlemen in the river.

Sun Ce laughed, obviously very proud, and then raised his eyebrows at Zhou Yu beside him, the meaning in his expression was self-evident.

Zhou Yu frowned slightly. In order to allow the sound to be transmitted farther, the fisher girl raised a few scales. As a result, her breath couldn't keep up, which made her unable to sing in some places, which was inevitably not beautiful.

Sun Ce smiled and didn't care that Zhou Yu didn't say anything. Sun Ce is an open-minded person. What he likes most is simplicity and directness, and what he hates the most is going around in circles. Therefore, he has long been disgusted with the red tape among the noble families in the city. Now he is in these vast mountains and turbulent rivers. When he was happy, he sang and danced, but when he was angry, he frowned and raised his eyebrows. There was no need to hide it at all, he felt relaxed all over.

"How?" Zhou Yu looked at Sun Ce's smile and couldn't help but smile. He and Sun Ce stood in the wind together, watching the torrential river water surge, "Do you feel relieved?"

"Hahahaha! It's great, it's worth it, it's worth it!" Sun Ce looked up to the sky and laughed.

"Of course, can I still deceive you?" Zhou Yu also smiled and said, and the surrounding landscape suddenly became more colorful. "Look at these heaven and earth landscapes, naturally all worries will disappear..."

Sun Ce also nodded, but after a while, Sun Ce's smile still faded, and he said casually: "Your brothers are better..."

Zhou Yu was silent for a moment and said, "That's not what I'm saying...Every family has its own difficulties..."

Sun Ce gently tapped the wood standing on the bow of the boat and said, "That's right... Let's not talk about it anymore. What do you think of what Zhang Zibu said?"

Zhou Yu was silent for a while and said, "Speaking cautiously."

Sun Ce took a long breath and said, "I think so too..."

"Then..." Zhou Yu hesitated.

Sun Ce laughed and said, "Do you think that although I agree, I don't act according to what Zibu said? What Zibu said was too cautious..."

"..." Zhou Yu looked at Sun Ce and suddenly understood.

As the saying goes, time will make people grow, change people from childishness to maturity, and innocence to calmness.

However, this sentence is bullshit. Time will only make people grow up, but it will not change people. What changes people is something other than time.

Such as huge survival pressure.

When a person can chat at will, point out the country, and say in words that everyone is mentally retarded and everyone is Shi Zhile, he is often in a state of not being able to bear the heavy pressure of life, and people who are really busy every day are trying to survive. , there is no time to say anything, not even the energy to say one more word.

Because being able to live and stay alive already consumes the most energy.

Of course, those who were fooling around before might still say that it would be better to die than live like this! However, perhaps people who live like this still have more responsibilities on their shoulders. There are old and young behind them, and they can only carry the burden forward with difficulty. Living always requires greater courage than dying.

When Sun Jian was still alive, Sun Ce was naturally responsible for everything, but after Sun Jian died, Sun Ce had to shoulder the burden of the Sun family.

Among the generals left behind by Sun Jian, which one is not Sun Ce’s uncle?

At such a young age, just by being a son of the Sun family, he could make these uncle-generation generals obey orders and follow their plans?

Therefore, every time Sun Ce faces a battle, he must be the vanguard!

Often after a battle, Sun Ce's body would be stained with a thick layer of plasma!

It's not that Sun Ce doesn't want to sit in the army or be in the safest position, it's not that he's not afraid of death, it's that he has to be like this! Only in this way can he let all the soldiers see the bravery and strength of the Sun family! Only in this way can he convince these uncle-general generals!

Otherwise, what else can we do to "convince" these battlefield veterans with just a few words?

There is great terror between life and death, and there is great wisdom between life and death.

Sun Ce quickly grew up and learned a lot in the battles. Of course, he also lost the pure happiness of the past.

Zhang Zhao believed that it was necessary to appease and recruit these aristocratic families in Jiangdong instead of blindly suppressing them. He suggested that Sun Ce should relax when it is time to relax and not to fight with each other at every turn...

However, Sun Ce remained unmoved.

In the past, Sun Ce used violent methods because he was too lazy to use his brain and felt that this method was straightforward, just like a fight between children. Whoever had the bigger fist would be the king of the children. In addition, Sun Jian was wiping his behind, so even if he got into trouble, it wouldn't be a big deal. At most, he would just be beaten and scolded by Sun Jian.

But now Sun Ce, after understanding Zhang Zhao's meaning, still uses simple and crude methods, but it is no longer because he is too lazy to use his brain, but because Sun Ce thinks more and further than before.

"Time waits for no one..." Sun Ce looked at the sky and said softly, "A few days ago, Yuan Gongluo came to give an order, calling him the Zhong family, and promoting local virtues. He ordered me to change my banner and pay tribute to Shouchun..."

"What?" Zhou Yu suddenly turned to look at Sun Ce.

"Zhong family... Zhong family..." Sun Ce laughed twice, "Boss Tian, ​​his second child..."

Zhou Yu thought for a while, then suddenly his face changed slightly and said: "Xu family! Yu family!"

This time, Sun Ce followed Zhou Yude's thinking and said, "Someone has already sent someone to seize it..."

Zhou Yu breathed out slowly, but still said worriedly: "As a result, Jiangdong will definitely be in turmoil again... Sigh..." Even though Zhou Yu was full of resourcefulness, when faced with such a murderous situation ahead, We can still only seek self-protection first, and then talk about other things.

Dissuade Yuan Shu, or even save Yuan Shu?

It's impossible. If Yuan Shu was someone who could listen to Shan Ruliu and follow his advice, he wouldn't be in this situation today.

Zhou Yu also knew that Yuan Shu was unreliable, but he did not expect that Yuan Shu would be so unreliable this time. Yuan Shu stepped into the killing situation. Naturally, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu did not want to jump into the fire pit with him, but they wanted to break away from Yuan Shu's belongings. How easy is it to truly get rid of the relationship with Yuan Shu?

Not to mention other things, could Sun Ce take over Jiangdong without the help of Yuan Shu's tiger-skin flag behind him?

The disciples of the Yuan family are all over the world. They don’t look at Sun Ce’s face, but also look at the face of the Yuan family in Runan. Therefore, although the Jiangdong nobles often feel that Sun Ce has gone too far, they just think of looking for Yuan Shu to punish Sun Ce in the future, so why bother with a The Yuan family had too much money and lost their identity, so they tolerated some things and waited until the future.

Now that Yuan Shu has established a Zhong family, he is looking for death, and Sun Ce will also be in trouble. Sun Ce not only has to deal with the previous grudges in Jiangdong, but also has to get rid of Yuan Shu's influence. Among Jiangdong, the Xu family is most inclined to Yuan Shu. and the Yu family, so these two families must act first to avoid any trouble when Sun Ce expresses his intention to break away from Yuan Shu.

This is just one of the problems.

Sun Ce is able to take charge of the Sun family. In addition to Sun Ce's own factors, Yuan Shu's appreciation of Sun Ce is also visible to everyone. Therefore, although there are other elders of Sun Ce in the Sun family, these elders will not have the courage to jump out. He said harshly, Yuan Jiujiu, it's not good for you to be like this, I am the boss of the Sun family...

However, once Yuan Shu falls, Sun Ce will face dual threats from both inside and outside!

The wind and clouds are rolling in the sky and the earth, and the water in the river is surging.

The human heart is like a millstone of flesh and blood, and human nature is like an endless hell. This huge killing spree has begun, and the sea of ​​blood is surging. Perhaps no one is immune...
