"We'll follow your plan. After the vassals arrive at the Si River, we'll find an excuse to go north!”
After thinking for a while, Sun Jian made a decision.
Moreover, he was very calm when he made this decision, without any guilt.
Because Yuan Shu had refused to release the rations, he had almost lost the battle. He had already lost his trust in the alliance army.
Other than being powerful, this alliance army was just a motley crew!
Instead of staying here, he might as well use this opportunity to attack Dong Zhuo's flank.
Even if the dukes didn't come here to defeat Dong Zhuo, then even if it was just his army, he would still defeat Dong Zhuo!
After making his decision, Sun Jian felt as if he had seen the light of day.
His heart was already extremely carefree.
Following his tone, everyone's topic changed from going there to how to go north and how to hide their strategic intentions.
After an hour of discussion, the soldiers came to report that the dukes had arrived, and the meeting ended.
All the generals went down to make arrangements.
Only Baili Ming followed Sun Jian to the front of Mushui Pass to welcome the dukes.
......
At this moment, in front of Mushui Pass.
Yuan Shao led the vassals and stood side by side.
Looking at the flag with the word 'Sun' fluttering in the wind, the feudal vassals felt very complicated.
On the one hand, all the doubts he had before were instantly resolved.
Sun Jian had actually used his troops to take over Mushui Pass!
On the other hand, he was a little conflicted.
The great merit of seizing Mushui Pass was actually taken by Sun Jian alone.
In comparison, they had been confronting Xu Rong for a long time and had not made any progress. It was obvious who was better!
In summary, these complicated emotions were envy, jealousy, and hatred.
Of course, there was only one person who hated him, Yuan Shu and Yuan Gonglu.
Just as the feudal vassals were lost in their thoughts, they suddenly heard a creak. The huge pass of Mushui Pass had already opened with a loud bang.
Sun Jian led hundreds of followers and a handsome young man slowly walked out.
Before he reached the duke, he laughed,"
"Alliance Master and everyone, how can it be late? Jian has been waiting for you for a long time!”
As he said that, he came out to welcome them with a face full of enthusiasm.
Seeing this, Yuan Shao revealed a smile and said,"
"Wentai is indeed worthy of the name of the Tiger of River East. We were still in the camp preparing to reinforce you, but you actually broke through the Mushui Pass!”
"Who else can be a good fighter in the world today besides you?”
"Brother is very happy!"
When the dukes heard this, they also went forward to congratulate him.
"Brother Wentai, you fought beautifully this time!”
"Using the strength of a single army to seize such a pass, even the famous generals of the ancient times are only so-so.”
"Brother Sun Jian, we are envious of you for obtaining such a great merit!”
Some of them were sincere congratulations, while others were fake.
However, they were all good words.
Sun Jian was delighted when he heard this and said with a smile,
"Alliance Master and everyone, you praise me too much!"
"Now that the weather is cold and gloomy, everyone, don't say too much here. Jian has already set up a banquet in the pass.”
"Alliance Master, please enter the pass!”
"How about we talk again at the banquet?"
"Good, Wentai is still doing things properly!”
Yuan Shao saw Sun Jian obtain such a great victory, yet still maintained his respect, and couldn't help but nod in his heart.
This little brother was not arrogant and could be associated with!
He immediately arranged for his subordinates to settle the army while he and the dukes went to the main hall inside the pass.
After the vassals entered the hall, Sun Jian arranged for Yuan Shao to take the main seat as usual.
According to the order of the meeting at that time, he was prepared to sit in the middle and back.
Seeing this, Cao Cao smiled and said,"
"Brother Wentai, why are you treating me like an outsider? This round was taken by Brother Wentai, and Brother has obtained such great merit.”
"That's right!"
Yuan Shao also stood up and said,"
"Wentai has made great contributions to the alliance army, how can he sit at the bottom? It really makes us feel ashamed!"
"In my opinion, this seat should be taken by Wentai!”
After saying that, he walked toward Sun Jian.
When Sun Jian saw this, his expression changed and he hurriedly said,
"No, no, the alliance leader is our common leader. He should naturally sit on the main seat. How dare Jian cross it!”
He hurriedly declined, but Yuan Shao did not give up. He grabbed Sun Jian's arm and said,
"Wen Tai, don't say that. Even if you can't take the main seat, you should take the secondary seat!”
Then, he pulled Sun Jian to his feet and said with a smile,
"Come, come, come, sit beside me!”
When the dukes saw this, they all laughed and said,
"Brother Wentai, don't refuse. With this merit, you should sit in the second seat!”
Then, they stood up one by one and took the initiative to move.
Sun Jian was pulled by Yuan Shao and felt flattered for a moment.
If it was before, most of the vassals in front of him had the same position as him, and there were also many other state governors and provincial governors. As the prefect of a remote area, no one would pay attention to him sitting at the bottom.
But now, they were all so eager. It was really like heaven and earth!
When the two of them arrived at the main seat, an awkward situation occurred.
Cao Cao was on Yuan Shao's left, and Yuan Shu was on his right.
Sun Jian was originally sitting on the right side, and the position he had shifted to was also on the right side. However, when he moved to Yuan Shu's position, he stopped moving.
Seeing this, Cao Cao stood up and smiled,"
"Come, Brother Wentai, take my seat!”
Seeing this, Sun Jian frowned and said,"
"Meng De is the founder of the alliance, how can he give up his position for me!”
He glanced at the seat beside Yuan Shu. Although he was unwilling, he still said,
"I'll sit here!"
"Hey! Brother Wentai, what are you saying?"
Cao Cao laughed,"
"Since you've entered the army, you should speak with your military merits. Brother Wentai has made such a great contribution, so you should naturally sit in the second position. As for Cao, he hasn't made any contributions, so there's no harm in changing his position!”
"Brother Wentai, don't refuse, just sit down!”
Finishing, before Sun Jian could refuse, he stood up and invited Sun Jian to take a seat with Yuan Shao.
"This…"
Sun Jian didn't know what the two of them were thinking. He couldn't help but look at Baili Ming in confusion.
Seeing this, Baili Ming's expression did not change. He smiled leisurely and said,"
"Since the generals are so fond of you, my lord, just sit down!”
Sun Jian might not have known, but he knew what the two of them were trying to do.
As the saying goes, insight into the world is knowledge, and experience in human affairs is articles.
Chinese culture was profound and profound. Giving up a seat was not a simple matter.
In fact, there were two meanings.
The first was that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao were trying to pull Sun Jian into their camp.
The second reason was to disgust Yuan Shu. He used his merits to imply that Yuan Shu was not worthy of sitting on the right side.
These two meanings were only beneficial to Sun Jian.
That was why he advised Sun Jian to sit down.
Seeing Baili Ming speak, Sun Jian smiled bitterly and cupped his hands at Cao Cao and Yuan Shao,
"Since Alliance Master and Meng De are so fond of each other, then it would be impolite of me to refuse!”
After saying that, he sat down.
However, the conversation between the two had attracted the attention of Cao Cao and Yuan Shao.
Cao Cao looked at Baili Ming and said,"
"Brother Wentai, I haven't seen this little brother before. I didn't see him at the last meeting either. Could he be Brother Wentai's junior?”
Sun Jian smiled and said,"
"No, Brother Meng De's words are wrong. This is my military advisor, what kind of junior is that!”
He wished he could have such a junior, but unfortunately, he could not give birth to one!
Hearing Sun Jian reveal his identity, Baili Ming simply cupped his hands and said to the dukes,
"I am Baili Ming, also known as Zhong Ruo. I am the current chief registrar under the lord. Greetings, generals!”
But when he said those words, all the dukes present were instantly stunned.
They had the same thoughts as Cao Cao.
They thought that Baili Ming was Sun Jian's nephew or something.
Who would have thought that this young man who was only in his prime was actually Sun Jian's military advisor?
What kind of joke was this?
Only Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and said,"
"Could it be that Brother Wentai's plan to seize the pass this time was proposed by this Mister Bai Li?”
Sun Jian didn't bother to hide his words. He immediately smiled and said,"
"That's right. To tell you the truth, it was all thanks to the military counselor's plan that I was able to enter Mushui Pass this time!”
Hiss!
Hearing this, all the dukes present sucked in a breath of cold air.
The scene in the hall immediately became extremely quiet, as if they had heard something extremely terrifying.
