"I didn't expect that Liu Dai would dare to openly kill his ally!”
"Yuan Benchu is only the prefect of a county, yet he dares to plot to seize Jizhou!”
"Our army is not on good terms with Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu's wanton increase in troops is not good news for our army!”
......
In Sun Jian's camp, the generals were discussing intensely. They were all shocked by the sudden change in the situation.
They hadn't even reached Yangzhou yet, and the other party had already raised their own troops.
The pressure brought by this was not small!
With this thought in mind, everyone could not help but look at Baili Ming.
Faced with everyone's gazes, Baili Ming couldn't help but smile and say,"
"Why are you all looking at me?"
"It's their business if others seize the land. It has nothing to do with our army!”
When everyone heard this, they immediately became anxious.
Zu Mao hurriedly said,
"Advisor Jun, it's not that I want to say this, but although it's none of our business that they seized the land, we don't have a place to stand yet!”
"If someone comes, what should we do?”
Hearing Zu Mao's words, everyone nodded and said,"
"Yes, Advisor Jun, although we are going to Yangzhou, we haven't decided where to go yet. Advisor Jun, give us a plan!”
"Military counselor, just be frank. Where are we going?”
Even Sun Jian looked over and said,"
"In your opinion, what should we do?”
However, hearing everyone's words, Baili Ming shook his head and smiled."
"In my opinion, everyone is too impatient!”
"Don't think that others will turn against us. We have to learn from them!”
"That Liu Dai killed Qiao Mao to seize his camp.”
"That was why Cao Cao seized East County!”
"Although Yuan Shao occupied Jizhou, it was Han Fu who gave it to him.”
"As for Yuan Shu, he already occupied Nanyang. It's only natural that he returned!”
"If we learn from them and turn against them, our reputation will be ruined!”
"That's definitely not possible!"
Of course, he knew what Sun Jian was talking about.
But at this moment, he couldn't be impatient!
At the end of the Han Dynasty, a good reputation was very important to a duke!
Didn't he see that even Cao Cao didn't dare to send troops before meeting the Han Emperor?
It was because the imperial court was still there in name, and everyone was a minister of the Han Dynasty!
If you have a strong military force, you can naturally attack others.
However, what followed was a drop in reputation!
He didn't want Sun Jian to become a notorious war maniac under his assistance!
Sure enough, as soon as he said this, Zhao Yun, who was sitting at the back, stood up and said,
"This general thinks that what Military Advisor said is true!”
"We are all subjects of the Han Dynasty. It's their business if other dukes change sides.”
"How can a benevolent and righteous army under the Lord attack others for no reason!”
Wang Can, who had just joined, also stood up and said,
"Advisor Jun is right!"
Seeing Zhao Yun and Wang Can stand up one after another, Sun Jian immediately reacted.
They had come south in the name of recruiting soldiers and horses to rescue the emperor. Their journey could be said to be unimpeded.
However, if he attacked Huainan directly, he would be criticized and his reputation would fall greatly!
After tasting the benefits of having a high reputation, he was not willing to let his reputation be ruined!
He immediately stood up and bowed to Baili Ming."
"I was so worried about the country that I almost forgot about this matter. Thank you for your advice, Military Advisor!”
"No worries!"
Baili Ming smiled when he saw Sun Jian's reaction.
Only a wise ruler would correct his mistakes!
When Zhao Yun and Wang Can saw this, they cupped their hands and said,"
"My lord is wise!"
When Sun Jian saw this, his heart immediately calmed down, but then a hint of worry rose up.
For the sake of reputation, he couldn't casually attack, so how could he take Huainan?
He quickly looked at Baili Ming and said,
"Then in your opinion, what should we do?”
He was hinting to Baili Ming how to take down Huainan without losing his reputation!
Listening to the code words that only he and Sun Jian could understand, Baili Ming smiled proudly and said,
"That's why I said that my lord is too anxious!”
"We shouldn't be the ones in a hurry right now, but the current governor of Yangzhou, Chen Wen!”
As he spoke, he looked around at everyone and smiled.
"Have you all forgotten that before our army went south, Yuan Shao and the other vassals joined forces to propose that our lord be the governor of Yangzhou?”
"Although the appointment has yet to be made, on the surface, the lord can already take up his post!”
"Now that our army is heading south, how could he not know?”
"Therefore, I feel that our army should not move first. We should wait for Chen Wen's reaction!”
Listening to Baili Ming's explanation, everyone suddenly understood.
No wonder Advisor Jun was so calm and composed. He was already prepared!
Hearing this, Sun Jian hurriedly smiled, but then he said worriedly,"
"But if that Chen Wen were to pretend to be deaf and mute, what should we do?”
Everyone also said,
"That's right, Military Advisor. That Chen Wen has been silent until now. I'm afraid he doesn't want to resign!”
"I won't!"
Hearing this, Baili Ming shook his head and laughed,
"Chen Wen will definitely have a reaction. Let's not talk about Chen Wen being the current provincial governor, but this person is from the same hometown as Yuan Shu and has a deep relationship with him!”
"Previously, our army had broken off relations with Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu is a narrow-minded person. When he saw our army heading south to Yangzhou, he would definitely send a letter to Chen Wen.”
"Either we let them ambush our army, or we let them use a strategy.”
"Therefore, Chen Wen would have reacted!”
"Right now, he only has two paths. One is to break off with Yuan Shu and obediently welcome the lord into Yangzhou.”
"You can either send troops and cut off our army's path!”
"Other than these two options, he has no other choice!”
"As the saying goes, a mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and Yangzhou cannot accommodate two provincial governors. If he wants to continue being the governor, he will definitely send troops!”
"On the other hand, if he doesn't want to be a soldier, our army can enter Yangzhou.”
At this point, he looked around at everyone and said with a smile,
"All in all, as long as our army doesn't move first, righteousness is with us. Our army will be invincible!”
Everyone in the tent was shocked.
Sun Jian clapped his hands and laughed.
"Wonderful! No wonder the military counselor said that we were too anxious!”
"It turns out that we have long been in an invincible position!”
"In this way, I can be at ease!”
He was originally worried about how to enter Huainan!
However, after listening to the analysis, he realized that they might not even need to take the initiative to fight this battle. They just needed to wait for Chen Wen's reaction!
Just as he was about to say something, a soldier rushed over from outside the camp and said loudly,"
"Report! There is a scholar outside the camp, claiming to be the governor of Yangzhou, who wants to see the lord!”
Hearing this, Sun Jian's eyes widened.
Everyone in the tent was also slightly stunned.
Then, they looked at Baili Ming in surprise.
Damn, Advisor Jun's mouth was blessed!
Whatever he said came!
They had just mentioned Chen Wen, and Chen Wen's envoy had already arrived?
Baili Ming was the only one who was slightly stunned. He then smiled and said,
"Everyone, look. Isn't he here? We'll know if he's an enemy or a friend just by looking!”
Sun Jian smiled when he heard these words.
"Of course!"
"Quickly invite that envoy in!"
"Yes!"
When the soldier heard this, he hurried out.
After a short while, a brown-robed scholar slowly walked into the camp and bowed to Sun Jian.
"I'm Chen Yu, the chief historian of Yangzhou. Greetings, General Pokrupp!”
Hearing this, Baili Ming couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
Chen Yu?
How could it be this person!
In his impression, after Yuan Shu seized Yangzhou, he killed Chen Wen and appointed Chen Yu.
Logically speaking, Chen Yu should have been under Yuan Shu. How could he have become the governor of Yangzhou?
Something was wrong!
Just as he was thinking, Sun Jian smiled and said,"
"Sir, there's no need to be so polite!"
"I heard that you came from Yangzhou.”
When Chen Yu heard this, he smiled and said,"
"Naturally, it's for the matters of the state!”
"When the Provincial Governor heard that General Po Krupp was appointed as the Provincial Governor of Yangzhou, he was very happy.”
"I have been specially ordered to welcome you and invite General Po Krupp to Shouchun to carry out the transaction.”
As he spoke, he handed over a piece of cloth and said,
"The silk book is here!"
"What do you think, General?"
Hearing this, everyone in the tent was delighted.
They had yet to move their troops, and Chen Wen had actually taken the initiative to invite Sun Jian to go south?
As expected by the military counselor!
When Sun Jian saw this, he took the silk book and was pleasantly surprised. He looked at Baili Ming and said,"
"Advisor Jun, look at this?"
Hearing this, Baili Ming smiled and looked at Chen Yu.
"May I know where you are from?"
Hearing this, everyone was stunned. What kind of question was this?
Chen Yu was also stunned, but he smiled calmly and said,"
"Naturally, I'm from Yangzhou!"
"Didn't Yu say it just now?"
"Sir must have been distracted!"
"I see!"
Baili Ming smiled and said,
"I'm just curious. Our army hasn't arrived in Yangzhou yet and is still in Yuzhou, so why did Governor Chen send someone to welcome us?”
Everyone looked at Chen Yu.
When Chen Yu saw this, he pondered for a while before smiling.
"I said that Teacher was distracted just now. Didn't Yu say it just now?”
"Governor Chen heard that General was appointed as the governor of Yangzhou and specially ordered me to come down to welcome you!”
"Otherwise, how can we express the provincial governor's sincerity?”
“嗐!”
When Baili Ming heard this, he seemed to have suddenly reacted. He slapped his head and said,
"Look at my brain. I was thinking about something else just now and didn't notice this!”
"He deserves to be punished!"
As he spoke, he stood up and said to Sun Jian happily,
"Even so, this shows the sincerity of Provincial Governor Chen. Our army should agree!”
Although they didn't know what happened to Baili Ming, the moment they heard this, everyone in the tent was overjoyed. Sun Jian didn't hesitate and immediately smiled,
"Since Provincial Governor Chen has such intentions, then it would be ungrateful for Jian to refuse!”
"Forget it, I agree to this matter!"
"Good!"
When Chen Yu saw Sun Jian agree, he immediately smiled as if he had been relieved of a heavy burden.
"Since General has agreed, I am at ease!”
As he spoke, he quickly cupped his hands and said,
"I just don't know when General will set off so that I can go back and report to the Provincial Governor!”
Sun Jian pondered for a moment and said,"
"It's already late today. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to start another army. We can set off tomorrow!”
"Based on the speed of our army, we can arrive in two days!”
"Good!"
Chen Yu was delighted when she heard that. She nodded and said with a smile,
"Even so, did Yu go back to report?”
"Sir, why are you so anxious?"
When Baili Ming heard this, he smiled and said,"
"In any case, our army is not leaving today. Why is Mister in a hurry to return and report? Why don't you rest in my camp for a night before returning?”
"Presumably, that Governor Chen should be able to wait!”
Seeing this, Sun Jian smiled and said,
"That's right. Why don't you stay here first? I'll hold a banquet tonight to entertain you. How about you go tomorrow?”
"This... Fine!"
Chen Yu hesitated for a moment before nodding and smiling.
"Since that's the case, thank you for your kindness, General!”
Sun Jian then called for someone to bring Chen Yu away.
After Chen Yu left, the generals could no longer sit still. They stood up and congratulated Sun Jian,
"Congratulations, my lord!"
"Congratulations, Lord!"
Seeing this, Sun Jian couldn't stop smiling."
"Our army has just arrived and hasn't even gone south yet. Who would have thought that Chen Wen would actually come to Xian Province!”
"It really didn't take much effort to get it!"
Then, he looked at Baili Ming excitedly and said,
"Advisor Jun has guessed correctly again!"
However, before he could finish his sentence, Baili Ming shook his head and said with a smile,
"My lord, don't be happy too early!”
"This time, Xian Prefecture is most likely a fake offer. This is the enemy's plan!”
Hearing this, Sun Jian's smile froze on the spot, and the hands of the generals who were congratulating him froze.
It was as if time had stopped at this moment.
What was that?
Fraud?
