The three countries are very nuclear

Chapter 397 Stop pretending, I'll showdown!

After Liu Yanjin abolished Shi Limu, the management authority of the local governor of the Han Dynasty began to be further expanded.After Dong Zhuo entered Beijing, he regarded the emperor as a plaything, and killed him with poison at every turn, the sanctity of the emperor continued to decrease.

Up to now, the decline of the imperial court is a foregone conclusion, and the local authorities have become unprecedentedly strong, almost reaching the level of state and county autonomy.

In short, those who are strong in soldiers and horses only need to obey the emperor in name.

If the Son of Heaven can bestow another corresponding official position, that would be a veritable Emperor of Earth.

And the weight of the word "zhoumu" is even higher than that of princes and kings.Even if the kings, the land is only one country and one county, but the state shepherd can legally control a state.

No matter how big or small, let's decide it!
Yangzhou has a large territory, thousands of miles away, even if it is placed in the thirteen prefectures of the Han Dynasty, it is still among the best.

But Yangzhou is also very small, with very little available land and a population of only three million. The arable land that has been developed at this stage is only in Jiujiang, Lujiang, Yuzhang, Danyang, Wujun and other places. It is a wild land with lofty mountains and mountains.

During this period, miasma was overgrown, the roads were different, and there were many barbarian tribes, who worshiped witches and ghosts. Under the current conditions, there was no way to deeply control it.

Therefore, Yangzhou's overall economy and political status can be regarded as the last among the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty.

But even so, Sun Jian's state shepherd was enough to make Yuan Shu fearful.

How many state shepherds are there in this world?
In an era when a prefect of a county could be called a feudal lord, the position of state shepherd was so hot!
With Sun Jian's strength, coupled with Yangzhou as the base, wouldn't it mean that the dragon enters the sea, and the future plans are not small!
But what chilled Yuan Shu the most was not limited to this.

A few days ago, there were rumors in the camp that Sun Jian had obtained the Jade Seal of Chuanguo.After the rumors had fermented for a few days, today the emperor worshiped him as the shepherd of Yangzhou, and in name he has escaped from his own control...

In the world, how can there be such a coincidence?

Thinking of this, a sneer appeared on the corner of Yuan Shu's mouth.

Sun Wentai, I thought you were just a veteran on the battlefield, who would have thought that you would have such schemes!

Regardless of whether you have obtained the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, I am afraid that you have colluded with Liu Xuande long ago to seek self-reliance!
If not, how could he, Lin Zichu, give you the position of Yangzhou Shepherd?
Originally, Sun Jian and Yuan Shu got together because they were seeking Dong Dong. One had soldiers and horses, the other had food and prestige, and the two hit it off.Sun Jian is not a retainer of the Yuan family, and now that the fight against Dong is over, it is understandable to leave Yuan Shu.

But he shouldn't have conspired in secret, so that before today, Yuan Shu didn't know about it.

Moreover, Yuan Shu's next strategic goal is Yuzhou and Jingzhou. With Sun Jian and other gloomy people watching Yangzhou covetously, Yuan Shu will inevitably tremble in the back court.

In short, under Lin Chao's series of calculations, Sun Jian and Yuan Shu were successfully separated.

In the second half of this meeting of princes, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and Sun Jian's expressions were not good.

Only Liu Bei looked heartless, smiling like a fool.

……

At the end of the award ceremony, Lin Chao ran up to Yuan Shu, cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Congratulations to the leader, you have been awarded the position of general, ranking above the three lords!"

Looking at Lin Chao's smiling face, Yuan Shu felt an inexplicable anger in his heart, wishing he could take off his boots and hit Lin Chao's face twice!
Lin Zichu, tell me quickly, when did you hook up with Sun Wentai?
Liu Xuande is not a thing, a certain person is watching and helping him, but he acts like this, he really is not a son of man!

Seeing Yuan Shu's unsightly face, Lin Chao cupped his hands again and said with a smile, "Leader... um no, why is the general so unhappy?"

Hearing this, Yuan Shu's face twitched for a while, and finally he managed to force out a smile, and said, "Zi Chu's good tricks... the position of a great general, I deserve it!"

The hermaphrodite Yuan Gonglu went online, insinuating that Lin Chao was acting despicably.

But the despicable Lin Zichu didn't care, and still smiled respectfully: "The general is too famous, the general has worked hard and made great achievements, and he deserves this position. It all depends on the emperor's sageness. The court is just reading the imperial edict on behalf of the emperor."

Speaking of this, Lin Chao bowed his hands solemnly in the direction of Chang'an, and then continued: "Not to mention the general, even General Wentai, who made the first contribution in this battle, was worshiped as Yangzhou Shepherd, which shows the sageness of the emperor!"

Lin Zichu, muddy!
Which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted, right?
Yuan Shu realized that he could no longer talk to Lin Chao, otherwise he might be mad at him.

This person is despicable and shameless, it is nothing more than a secret collusion with Sun Wentai, but he is shamelessly showing off to himself here...

Why is there such a person in the world!
The words were not speculative, and after a few words of politeness between the two, Yuan Shu left in a huff.

But after this incident, Yuan Shu's perception of Lin Chao completely dropped to freezing point.

On the other hand, Sun Jian, who was promoted to state shepherd, was very wronged.

With Yuxi in hand, he felt a faint joy in his heart that his destiny belonged.But within two days of this joy, the Dongchuang incident came, and today, for some reason, he was named the state shepherd again.

The moment he saw Yuan Shu's face, Sun Jian understood that he had to do something to save the situation, otherwise Yuan Shu, the father of the gold master, would really leave him.

So after Lin Chao left, Sun Jian went up to greet him, cupped his fists and said, "Leader, although the Son of Heaven ordered someone to be Yangzhou Shepherd, but..."

But before Sun Jian finished speaking, he was interrupted by Yuan Shu with a wave of his hand, and said with a fake smile: "I forgot to congratulate General Sun... Oh no, I should be called Ambassador Sun now!"

After finishing speaking, Yuan Shu gave Sun Jian the same treatment as Lin Chao, and walked away, leaving Sun Jian standing there with an embarrassed expression on his face.

The close allies in the past are still cold-eyed today after all.

Sun Jian understood that even if Yuan Shu would still employ him in the future, a gap had already occurred, and the relationship between the two would never return.

Just when Sun Jian was feeling sad, a voice suddenly came from behind him.

"General Wentai, Yuan Gonglu is narrow-minded and has no room for others. The general is a powerful general in the world, and he is invincible. Where can he not settle down? Do you have to bow down to Yuan Gonglu?"

Hearing this, Sun Jian hastily turned around, only to see Lin Chao standing behind him with his hands behind his back, smiling.

For some reason, the gleam in Lin Zichu's eyes made Sun Jian shudder.

"Lin Zichu, what on earth do you want to do!"

Sun Jian's tiger eyes opened wide, staring at Lin Chaodao.

Sun Jian was not stupid, and his keen sense of the battlefield told him that there seemed to be a huge pusher manipulating everything behind the series of events that happened in the past few days.

But thinking about it carefully, the jade seal in his hand was real.

Who on earth would have the courage to use the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom to plot against him!

The appearance of Lin Chao at this time seems to have answered some questions.

Facing Sun Jian's question, Lin Chao did not answer, but stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, and said with a smile, "It's cold and windy outside the tent, but the sun is as bright as ever. I wonder if the general is afraid of the cold?"

Sun Jian looked at the smile on Lin Chao's face, snorted coldly, and said, "Mr. Lin has an invitation, so I dare not obey! Please!"

"Please!"

Lin Chao waved his hands and smiled, and the two walked out of the tent side by side, into the winter sun.

……

"Sun Wentai, you are really ungrateful and ungrateful!"

After returning to the camp, Yuan Shu couldn't hold back his anger any longer. The chivalrous spirit broke out in his chest. He began to scold Sun Jian and broke some things at the same time.

Seeing this, Master Yan Xiang immediately came up and clasped his hands, "My lord, why are you so angry?"

Yuan Shu recounted what happened today, and finally said indignantly: "Thanks to Liu Xuande's self-proclaimed benevolence and righteousness, he is also such a despicable person!"

"My lord, there are no benevolent and righteous people in this world. Especially in the current chaotic world, benevolence and righteousness are all for others to see, and they are all about profit calculations. Therefore, my lord, there is no need to get angry."

After Yan Xiang heard the whole story, he began to persuade him.

"Oh, why doesn't someone know this?"

Yuan Shu lost his temper, and the anger in his heart eased a little. He sighed and said, "But since the beginning of the army, a certain man has always treated Sun Wentai kindly to him, but he is ambitious and secretly colluded with Liu Xuande. I hate him so much. .”

Yan Xiang shook his head, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, based on Xiang's foolish opinion, Sun Wentai may not have secretly hooked up with Liu Xuande. Even, this matter is very likely to be written by Lin Zichu, and only this person can pull out such a poisonous plan." Provoking, attempting to drive a wedge between the lord and Sun Wentai."

As soon as this remark came out, Yuan Shu was very surprised, looked at Yan Xiang with a puzzled face, and said in confusion: "From your point of view, Sun Wentai did not secretly collude with Liu Xuande. What happened today was all caused by Lin Zichu." ? The emperor ordered Sun Wentai to be Yangzhou Shepherd, is it just a bargaining chip?"

Yan Xiang smiled, and said: "My lord, I see clearly that this matter is very possible. Given the current situation in the world, the lord is the leader among the princes. Second, he is Liu Xuande of Xuzhou, and Lin Zichu's plan was to provoke the lord and Sun Wentai. , trying to weaken the strength of the lord, so that we will cut off our own arms. Don't be fooled, lord, after all, his tricks at the beginning of Lin Zichu can be said to be the best in the world!"

Hearing this, Yuan Shu frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded slightly and said, "What you said is also reasonable. However, Sun Wentai wanted to pass on the imperial jade seal, but he didn't report it to someone, so what?"

In the final analysis, Lin Chao's divorce plan is not clever, and there is no foolproof plan in this world.

But Lin Chao knows very well that the success rate of a matter depends on whether your stake is big enough!
If there is no Yuxi, Lin Chao's divorce plan can be broken by any second-rate counselor.After all, the imperial edict was read out by him, Lin Chao, so it is conceivable whether there are any of his own private goods in it.

But once Yuxi was in Sun Jian's hands, he would not be able to wash it off even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

If you, Sun Wentai, had no selfish intentions and did not secretly collude with Liu Bei, why didn't you surrender the jade seal and hand it over, but instead swallowed it yourself?

The moment Sun Jian left the jade seal selfishly, he had already committed the original sin.He will never be clear about this.

When Yuan Shu mentioned Yuxi, Yan Xiang had nothing to say, and remained silent for a while.

After a long time, Yan Xiang continued to speak: "My lord, Xiang thinks that if Yuxi is in Sun Wentai's hands, then he is an ambitious wolf who wants to eat everything else! If Yuxi is not in his hands, then my lord should not listen to other people's words and cut off his own arm."

"Hmph, that sounds good, but how do you ask someone to tell this matter?" Yuan Shu sneered, "Do you want someone to call Sun Wentai and ask him face to face if he has a jade seal? His answer, even if you think about it, must be No."

"This……"

Yan Xiang was at a loss for words, and couldn't think of any good solution for a while.

The two of them were frowning and thinking hard, when a soldier walked in from outside the tent and reported: "My lord, there is a group of people outside the camp asking to see you."

Yuan Shu asked, "At this time someone asked to see a certain person, who is it?"

The soldier replied: "My lord, the leader said that he was engaged in the governance of Xuzhou, Xun Youruo."

"Xun Chen? What is he doing here at this time?"

After all, he had some unpleasantness with Lin Chao just now, but at this moment Xun Chen came to beg to see him, so Yuan Shu had to be a little puzzled.

After thinking for a while, Yuan Shu waved his sleeves and ordered, "Let him in."

"only!"

The soldiers responded with fists in their hands and left.

……

Outside the camp, Lin Chao and Sun Jian walked on the snow, making rustling sounds.

Behind them, Tai Shici and Sun Ce accompanied several soldiers.

At this time, the sun was shining brightly, and the sun was shining on the white snow, and this overwhelming whiteness began to melt.

But after all, it was the twelfth lunar month of winter, and the temperature was extremely low. Even with the sun, the snow would melt very slowly.According to this momentum, even after another three to five days, it will not be completely melted.

After walking for a long while, Sun Jian saw that Lin Chao was still there, and had even begun to enjoy the snow scene, and finally he couldn't hold back and asked: "Lin Zichu, we are now three or five miles away from the camp. What can you say? Let's just say it straight!"

From the very beginning, Sun Jian didn't give Lin Chao any good looks, but this didn't prevent Lin Chao from remaining peaceful.

Lin Chao smiled and said, "General Wentai, I want to tell you a story, I don't know..."

Playing mysteries has always been Lin Chao's forte, and he has tried it time and time again.But at Sun Jian's place today, it didn't work.

Because Lin Chao hadn't finished speaking, Sun Jian decisively broke his mouth and interrupted the spellcasting.

"I know that you scholars always like to put on an air, but you are a rough person who only knows how to fight in the battlefield. Others don't understand and don't want to understand. If there is nothing wrong, I will leave."

Now that you are out of the door, everyone just click directly, you are upset, don't drag me!
After losing the first battle, facing such a straightforward Sun Jian, Lin Chao felt like a dog biting a hedgehog, unable to say anything.

However, Lin Zichu was the scum of many people after all, and he had seen many big scenes, so he would not lose his composure.

"Okay, since General Wentai speaks quickly, let me just say it straight." Lin Chao laughed, "It's still the same sentence, Yuan Gonglu is not the master of the Ming Dynasty, and General Wentai has the talent of commanding all over, so it is suspected that the pearl is cast in the dark! "

"Hahaha……"

Hearing this, Sun Jian looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "After a long time, it turns out that you, Lin Zichu, are here to be a lobbyist! Yuan Gonglu is not the master of enlightenment? Could it be that he, Liu Xuande, is the master of enlightenment?"

"It's natural!"

Lin Chao immediately replied, without blushing and without heartbeat.

Sun Jian almost choked on Lin Chao's words, probably because he had never seen such a shameless person before, so he didn't react for a while.

Lin Zichu, Liu Xuande really doesn't blush when you talk like that?

But Lin Chao didn't care, and continued to speak: "General Wentai, let's just say it straight. Today, XX is here to be a lobbyist. As for whether to follow or not, I ask General Wentai to think carefully."

Speaking of this, Lin Chao looked at Sun Jian's face, then took two steps back, and at the same time beckoned Tai Shici to stand in front of him, so he was relieved.

"General Wentai, Chuan Guoxi...how are you playing?"

This remark was like a stone stirring up thousands of waves, Sun Jian trembled all over, a pair of tiger eyes stared at Lin Chao intently, his eyes seemed to burst into flames.

Got it, got it all!
It's all Lin Zichu's fault!
"Oh it's you……"

Sun Jian squeezed these words out between his teeth, and clenched his fists tightly.Depending on the situation, there is a possibility of going berserk at any time.

At this moment, Lin Chao suddenly felt that Tai Shi Ci was not safe behind him.

But right now, you must not show your timidity. At the moment, Lin Chao looks more and more calm, and said with a smile: "It's not that someone wants to plot against General Wentai, but General Wentai is too brave. It is really my lord to stay with Yuan Gonggong." He has a serious problem, so he has to do this trick.

This is the end of the matter, a certain bluntly said.General Wentai is a famous general in the world, and I can't bear to bury your talent just like that.But XX only surrendered this time, if General Wentai refused, don't blame XX's subordinates for being merciless. "

Speaking of this, Lin Chao bowed his hands to Sun Jian across from Tai Shici, and said with a smile: "Where to go, I ask General Wentai to think carefully, so don't make a wrong choice."

Of course, you can't choose wrongly, because once you choose wrongly, you will have no chance to choose again.

Youdao uses the most cowardly tone and puts the most ruthless words.

Lin Chao's voice was not loud, and his words seemed normal, but Sun Jian could fully feel the determination in it.

It's just that he has never seen Supervisor Lin's methods before, and he still has some disapproval in his heart.

It's ridiculous that a weak scholar dares to threaten me!
