Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1552 Under the Meeting of Cao Cao and Sun Ce
Time went back to Xu Capital City one day ago.

The construction of the city wall made Xudu look different. With the fortified atmosphere and majestic momentum, Xudu already looked like an imperial capital.

After the chaos, there will be great rule.

Above the court, the emperor does not come out, Cao Cao's power is poured into the court, suppressing the Quartet, and there is no disobedience. In the court, the ministers Yang Biao, Xun Yu, Zhong Yao, Xun You and other good ministers can stabilize the world.

Looking at the world, there is also a bit of peace.

However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the safety of Xudu is just a superficial phenomenon, and the atmosphere of war is still shrouding the capital.

However, there was a big happy event recently, which dilutes such a depressing atmosphere.

The son of King Wei, Cao Ang, married Sun Shangxiang, the sister of King Wu of Jiangdong, the owner of Xiangxiang County.

This represents the union of King Wei and King Wu.

It also represents the confluence of the Central Plains and Jiangdong.

Moreover, he is also the lord of Jiangdong. Sun Ce, the king of Wu, personally escorted his younger sister to go north to send her off for marriage.

Sun Ce, King of Wu, gained a lot of reputation immediately, and was also praised by the scholars among the scholars.

The big wedding was held as promised.

These days, either war or civil strife, too much gloomy atmosphere enveloped the capital, a rare happy event, or the alliance of two major forces, Cao Cao naturally wanted to do something special.

First, ask for the decree, and the emperor bestows the marriage.

Then go through it according to the interests.

Na Cai, ask for your name, Najib, Na Zheng, ask for a date, and welcome you personally.

Although the time is a bit rushed.

But every step is well done.

On the day of Cao Ang's wedding, more than half of Xu's capital was sealed off, and all the streets were hung with colorful lights, making it a joyous celebration.

To be honest, even if Cao Cao married a daughter-in-law, he might not be able to have the ostentation he has today.

However, Cao Cao, who has always been budget-conscious, did not hesitate to spend extravagantly for his son's wedding, making a celebration known to the world.

In fact, he is also well-intentioned.

Over the past few years, the Great Han court has had only bad news and very little good news. The marriage between Cao Ang and the Sun family was not only a matter of two people, but also a matter of the entire court.

This means that Jiangdong is about to converge.

There is still hope for Jiangdong to join the imperial court, no matter what happens in the future, at least, now Jiangdong is willing to belong to the imperial court.

As the saying goes, if the name is not right, the words are not right, this name has fallen above the court.

In the same way, it also assisted Cao Cao to coerce the emperor to make the princes go to the road of success. If he can coerce the emperor to make the king of Wu, he can naturally make the king of Yan.

So when Sun Ce entered Xudu, Cao Cao was very happy.

In the past, he felt that he was wishful thinking, and no one cared about the life and death of the Han court. Although what he did was worthy of his heart, it was also hard work.

How fun it is to be accompanied by someone now.

The wedding banquet continued, the ministers rejoiced together, and there were joyful voices inside and outside Jiangninghou's mansion.

As the son of the king of Wei, Cao Ang has been ordered by the emperor to enter the title of Marquis of Jiangning and Marquis of Guannei, to open the mansion independently, and to open the three divisions of Yitong. This is also a preparation for inheriting the king of Wei in the future.

………………

At this time, the two great princes of the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao, King of Wei, and Sun Ce, King of Wu, had quietly met in a quiet courtyard.

Sun Ce met Cao Cao.

Cao Cao also met Sun Ce.

But that was all many years ago.

At that time, Sun Ce was still young, and he followed his father King Qin to the north. He was a fledgling, high-spirited, rode his horse in all directions, and ran into the battlefield with a gun. Although he was a young lion, he looked brave.

And Cao Cao, at that time, was not as old as he is now, not as calm as he is now. At that time, he was also a high-spirited, politically mature man with great ambitions, determined to support the Han Dynasty, and a passionate loyal minister.

Goodbye now, everything has changed.

Sun Ce made great achievements in Jiangdong. He won the title of little overlord, led troops in battle countless times, and became famous all over the world.

And Cao Cao is a generation of tyrannical heroes, who coerced the emperor to order the princes, and the peerless ministers who controlled the Han court.

When the two met on such an occasion, they both felt a little emotional, but a man is always proud, and he doesn't have so much love for his children, so the emotions are all fleeting.

"I respect King Wu for this cup of wine, Bo Fu must accept it!" Under the big tree, on the edge of the eaves, with bamboo mats on the floor, a desk, a pot of turbid wine, the charcoal was raised, and the green plums were boiled. In short, Cao Cao first raised the wine cup and respectfully toasted.

Sun Ce remained motionless.

His tiger eyes flickered for a moment, and he accepted the wine calmly.

In order to form an alliance, he made a concession and entered Xudu alone. Although he intended to be Jiangdong, in a certain direction, he was also for the world, so he could afford this cup of wine.

The most important thing is that he must lead Cao Cao's sincerity. Cao Cao represents the imperial court, and the imperial court can form an alliance smoothly only after receiving his thoughts.

"The second cup of wine, I respect the king of Wu for myself. Without the profound understanding of the king of Wu, not only a big man, but I will also have a hard time turning around!" Cao Cao poured the wine again, and drank it in one gulp, although their wine was not counted. It was very strong, but it also had a certain degree of alcohol. If he drank two glasses of wine a little too quickly, it would make his face turn red.

"Wei Wang doesn't have to be like this!"

Sun Ce didn't accept this cup of wine, he avoided it indifferently, and then said: "If the king of Wei is the heart of the world, this king will accept it calmly, but if it is for the gratitude of the king of Wei himself, this king has no such heart. I dare not accept this gift!"

"Hahaha!"

Cao Cao laughed: "King Wu is frank, he really is a hero!"

If Sun Bofu is an enemy, he is indeed a very terrible enemy, especially Sun Bofu, who is now calm, young, energetic, brave, and resourceful...

These are not the most important things.

The most important thing is that Sun Ce has a special personality charm, which can make the generals under his command fight endlessly for him.

But Cao Cao didn't feel disgusted by such a terrible person, because Sun Ce was never a person like Mu Jing who kept everything under wraps, but gave people the feeling of being upright and a hero.

Such a person, even an enemy, is hard to hate.

Now that he is an ally, Cao Cao is even more happy.

"In today's world, the way of troubled times is that only villains survive, and heroes are dead!" Sun Ce shook his head, "If I am a hero, I should lead my troops into the Ming Realm this time. Even if I die on the spot, I will die for my father." Revenge, not lingering on!"

This is something he regrets.

When he ascended the throne as the King of Wu, he had to think about the people of Wu, and he had to think twice before acting, and he didn't dare to start the battle rashly, and dare not raise troops to fight rashly.

This is against his nature, so he feels guilty.

"If Bo Fu thinks so, he is wrong. This is a fallacy!"

Hearing this, Cao Cao said directly and loudly: "Bo Fu, I am older than you, and I have a good friendship with your father. Now I am a little older in front of you. Your father is dead and can't teach you. Then Gu came to teach you a truth!"

He had a resolute face and a cold look on his face: "Avenging your father is a matter of course. However, if you are not in a hurry, but you are angry, it is the work of a man. A hero should serve the country and the people, for the court and for the world." For the sake of the people and the people, you can endure a moment of anger and humiliation for a while, rather than taking pleasure in enmity, hitting a stone with an egg will have no effect except to vent your anger. If you defeat the Ming thief, Jiangdong will fall , the common people have been murdered by Ming thieves, isn’t it a sin through the ages!”

"Uncle's words awakened the strategy!"

Hearing this, Sun Ce stood up quickly, bowed his hands slightly, and said in a low voice: "Uncle is right, private enmity is not as good as national hatred, if this king disregards the power of the Han family for private enmity, it is not as good as pigs and dogs, although father's enmity I have to report it, but this king believes that the court will help me take revenge one day!"

"Ruzi can be taught!"

Cao Cao was overjoyed at the moment.

Although the two had a political conversation, they became more and more happy during the conversation. The green plums boiled wine one jar after another, the man was a hero, and his blood was like fire. After drinking, some details that he originally cared about no longer cared.

At this point, the issue of position can also be ignored.

Now, they are already grasshoppers on a rope.

Unless one day, Mu Ming has been uprooted by them, otherwise this alliance will be the strongest, and it will not be as loose as before.

Cao Cao was very happy at this moment, and he became more and more optimistic about Sun Ce. He said in a deep voice: "Bo Fu is young and promising, he can be gentle and martial, he can fight the world on horseback, and he can live in peace. This is not comparable to Zixiu. I am not old enough, and I may still be able to fight for a few more years, but in the future, the Han Dynasty will still need the support of Bo Fu, so that the world can return to peace!"

"Ce should be devoted to his duties, assist uncle, assist the emperor, suppress the world, quell the chaos in the country, and ensure peace for all generations!" Sun Ce cupped his hands slightly and said sincerely.

In fact, the former Sun Ce couldn't say this.

It's just that the current Sun Ce is no longer the little overlord who prostrates under the protection of his father.

Some words that cannot be said can be spoken with an open mouth.

This is how Sun Ce grew up after Sun Jian died in battle.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Cao Cao was happy, and he was happy with Sun Ce three times in a row. He became more and more satisfied with Sun Ce, and asked directly, "Bo Fu, the world is in turmoil. There are princes in the world and thieves in the outside world. What should we do?"

"The king of Wei sits on the court and stabilizes the peace of the world. I will personally lead the army and serve the court to put down the chaos in the world. It doesn't matter if the horse is shrouded in leather!" Sun Ce took up this topic and said directly and righteously.

"If we fight against the bandits, we will fight with all our strength, and it will be an honor to die in battle!"

Cao Cao sighed: "But the king of Zhou in Hebei is the king of our great Han. How to deal with it?"

Not a hypocritical question.

It is intentional.

The battle between Hebei and the Central Plains is imminent. If Sun Ce stands firmly on top of the court, that would be the best, but if Sun Ce has other hopes, he will definitely save Yuan Shao.

This is not what Cao Cao wants to see.

"If you fight against the outside world, you must settle down inside!"

Sun Ce said without hesitation: "This is about the survival of the Han Dynasty. How can there be a woman's benevolence? If Hebei rebelled, I should lead Jiangdong's son to go north to suppress the rebellion and clear away hidden dangers for the court. Putting down the calamity of the thieves, returning the world to a Lang Lang and Qiang Kun, a peaceful and prosperous world!"

This is a sign of ambition.

He was telling Cao Cao that Jiangdong absolutely supported fighting Hebei.

No matter whether it is him or Liu Bei, he can not fight against Cao Cao, but Yuan Shao definitely can't.

For the stability of the Han Dynasty, Hebei must be flattened.

Otherwise, they would not be able to unite as one, nor would they be able to fight against the Ming court, which is as dazzling as the rising sun, powerful and frightening.

It was never a multiple choice question.

As early as he entered Xudu, he had already made preparations for this. If Pinghebei, Jiangdong can also send troops. As a matter of sincerity, even if the Jiangdong army is used as a target and dies in the northern border, he will not hesitate.

There has never been any trust among the princes. If you want to unite, there must be someone who makes concessions.

The one who made the concession was Sun Ce.

Both Cao Cao and Liu Bei had a choice of roads, but Jiangdong had nowhere to go. When Jiangdong's most proud Jiangdong navy was defeated at the door of the house.

Jiangdong's honor is over.

Now it's more about lingering.

The Ming army's ability to directly tear apart Jiangdong's tight water defense front means that they have the ability to clean up Jiangdong at any time.

At this time, if Jiangdong continues to walk alone, Jiangdong will be the first territory to be defeated by the Ming army and wiped out.

That's why Sun Ce ventured into Xudu and wanted to join the imperial court.

Now that he has already made a concession, let him make a thorough one, otherwise it will be too contrived, and all the preparations he made before will be in vain.

"Bofu has such a heart, and he is gratified to be lonely!" Cao Cao can truly affirm at this moment. Sun Bofu really wants to join the court, not just pretending.

Is it true or not? This is a different concept.

In terms of face, Jiangdong is still independent, and Wu is still Wu. In terms of government affairs, even the court can't intervene, but Sun Ce's attitude has already shown that Wu Jun can be mobilized to fight.

Even if Wu Jun just listens to the tune and does not listen to the announcement, that is enough. This not only gives the court the face to transfer troops, but also makes the unity of the big man more tenacious.

"The battle of Hebei, Gu has planned for a long time. After the beginning of the new year, it must be a bloody battle. Gu still has the ability to deal with it. King Yan will also send troops. Unless King Zhou is willing to surrender to the court, he will have no escape!"

Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said with a smile: "It's not necessary for Wu Jun to go north, but Wu Jun can do one thing for the court!"

"I don't know what orders Wei Wang has?"

Sun Ce concentrated his attention.

He is willing to fight, but it does not mean that he is willing to be used. If Cao Cao dares to go too far, he will turn his face. No matter what the hype is, it is impossible to hand over the military power.

This is absolutely impossible.

But he is willing to fight, as long as Cao Cao is for the Han court, he doesn't mind Cao Cao fighting with his soldiers and horses as vanguards.

"In the spring of next year, it is imperative to crusade against Hebei, but although Ming retreats, the son of tomorrow is a generation of yin and yang, and no one can guess his mind!"

Cao Cao said in a low voice: "I only hope that Jiangdong can keep an eye on the Ming army in Jingxiang and stabilize the southern line of our court, and don't give them a chance to enter!"

If it was before, he would not ask for such a thing. After all, it is very dangerous to trust outsiders, but now, he is willing to trust Jiangdong once.

Wei Jun's troops were transferred to the north, and there were only a few remaining troops. If the defense line on the southern line was not stable, he would never dare to let go and fight Hebei.

Don't look at Mujing saying that there will be no war for three years. In the face of interests, all promises are farts. If there is a chance to bring down Xudu, Mujing will never admit anything he said.

"This king can personally sit in Shouchun and suppress Runan!" Sun Ce thought for a while and said in a low voice.

"it is good!"

Cao Cao laughed.

If Sun Ce can sit in Runan, then unless the Ming army mobilizes most of the main force, it will never dare to cross the border. This wave is considered stable.

After talking about big things, let's talk about small things.

"Bo Fu, in your eyes, what kind of person is this son of heaven?" Cao Cao would sometimes compare Sun Ce with Mu Jing.

They are all young talents that are rare in the world today.

As for his son, forget about Cao Zixiu, no matter how thick-skinned he is, he can't tie Cao Zixiu with the two great heroes of the world.

"Mulongtu, a very scary person!"

Sun Ce thought for a while, and he didn't curse people out of righteous indignation, and he didn't say too many bad things. Mujing put him under a lot of pressure, but the pressure was also motivation. Without Mujing's pressure, his current personality would be even more manic Some, perhaps the existence of Mu Jing, let him know that he is not the number one young talent in the world, which makes him more at ease.

He said softly: "This person is not only powerful in the city, but also decisive and ruthless in his actions. He is a hero. What's more, he can do many things that we can't do!"

"New Deal? Reform? Restructuring?"

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes.

"Have it all!"

Sun Ce said indifferently: "I once thought that if I ruled the world, I would have his heart, but in the end I was disappointed. Even if I can rule the world, I can't make the second dragon herding picture!"

"That's a great word!"

Cao Cao laughed loudly: "Sun Bofu is just Sun Bofu, it is unique, and there will never be another picture of herding dragons in the world!"

"I'm just worried now, if the reform of the Ming court is successful, will it be like the pre-Qin in the past, with the power to sweep the world!"

Sun Ce unconsciously said something in his heart, he was really worried.

He is not stupid.

Will not copy what others say.

At his level and status, he has his own unique views and ideas on any matter, and will not change with the trend.

The new policy of the Ming court, he observed and observed, is very difficult, but it is very effective. If it can be achieved, it can stabilize the peace of the world for hundreds of years.

It's a pity that few people are optimistic about his success, and more people think that Mu Jing is destroying himself.

"Maybe, but he won't stand a chance of success!"

Cao Cao replied to Sun Ce: "You worry about my worries, but we can't sit here and worry. What we have to do is to nip the danger in the bud, pacify Hebei, integrate the power of the great Han, conquer the thieves in the west, and pacify the world. Hanchen's actions!"

"good!"

Sun Ce's eyes became sharper: "What King Wei said is exactly what Ce thought!"
