Choose Liu Bei at the start, I am the only one who knows the plot of the Three Kingdoms.

Chapter 469: Cooperation, Sun Jian's First Special Forces

"Hahaha, this Shi Xie is invincible. I really didn't expect that he could come up with such a move. It's amazing!"

"I have to say, this trick is really useful. Didn't you see Sun Menghu? He looked so determined when he swore. When I just opened the live broadcast room, I thought I was in the wrong room."

"Sun Menghu: I just want your life, but that doesn't mean I don't want my nationality anymore, and it certainly doesn't mean I want to become a Japanese devil!"

"I've learned another trick. How come it feels like they've all let go in the later stages? One by one, they're talking about things that they normally wouldn't mention in the live studio, especially things related to the modern times, right now, and there are people listening in."

"Because this time, everyone must fight. It's different from the previous wars. In the previous wars, some people were allowed to remain neutral or unsteady. But this time it's different. If anyone doesn't stand firmly on the side this time, I'm afraid he will be the first to suffer in this war."

"Shi Xie's insults are too filthy. No matter who it is, I believe no one can stand it!"

"Liu Zhang: No, buddy, you should have told me earlier that you had this job. If I had known it would be possible, would I have talked to Cao Zhonger for so long? What the hell is this a glass of wine and a sentence? Is there anything that can't be solved with just one sentence? Please give me a picture!!!"

"Wow, I've negotiated with you four times before, and each time ended in failure. But in the end, it was done with just this one sentence. I'm invincible."

"I've learned it. I'll use this trick when I negotiate with others next time."

"Pay attention to those above us, this trick can only be used on our own people, it won't work on outsiders, especially the Japs, they don't care about these things at all, because they are damn Japs!"

The netizens in the live broadcast room were all having a heated discussion at this moment. Not only were they not expecting Shi Xie's move, even Sun Jian could not have imagined that Shi Xie would suddenly take out such a thing.

Looking at Shi Xie who was sitting opposite him with a smile on his face, Sun Jian felt annoyed from the bottom of his heart. If he could, he would want to let Sun Ce slap him to death. But thinking of the oath he had just made, Sun Jian could not help but touch his philtrum. When he thought about a mustache growing there, Sun Jian felt uncomfortable. He shook his head to get rid of these messy thoughts, then raised his eyes to look at Shi Xie.

"Okay, now I agree to your conditions. What's next? Shouldn't you also meet my conditions?"

Shi Xie restrained his smile and spoke seriously.

"Tell me, what do you want to do?"

"All the troops under Jiaozhou are under my command, including the four hundred poisonous women. Also, you must worship me as your master."

There was no change in Shi Xie's expression when he heard the first sentence. Sun Jian was short of soldiers and horses now, and these tens of thousands of soldiers and horses could be regarded as a timely help.

When he said the second sentence, Shi Xie's face became a little embarrassed. After all, the four hundred poisonous girls were his last trump card. The reason why he was able to successfully negotiate with Sun Jian this time was also due to the existence of these four hundred poisonous girls. If he had handed them over to Sun Jian, then he would have lost his last trump card.

By the third sentence, Shi Xie was already furious. Asking him to recognize Sun Jian as his master was too insulting to him. How could he tolerate such a situation?

"I can give all the Jiaozhou troops to you, but you only have the right to use the four hundred Gu girls. The final command power still belongs to me. As for the last point, forget it. I don't agree."

"Fuck! How can you be like this? I have already agreed to your conditions and swore such a vicious oath, but you still do this to me? What do you want to do?"

Seeing that the two were about to start a passionate quarrel again, Sun Ce and Sun Quan, who had been watching each other's hearts and minds at the desk, stood up at the same time. There was no need to stay any longer. They understood half of what Sun Jian and Shi Xie said and half of what they didn't. It was all irrelevant. After they saluted Sun Jian and Shi Xie, they left the tent, leaving Shi Xie and Sun Jian to confront each other.

"These four hundred Gu girls are my last trump card. I can't give them to you, but I can let you use them. This is my biggest concession! As for giving them to you, don't even think about it. Even if I agree, the Gu girls may not agree!"

"Have you asked them? How do you know they don't agree? I see you just don't want to hand it over. Are you afraid that the Gu girls will be unwilling to follow you after seeing us, and your trump card will be gone?"

"You're talking nonsense. The Gu girl doesn't like you at all. Just give up on this idea!"

"You haven't even seen him, how do you know he doesn't like her? Why don't we stop arguing and let's see what's going on! Call the Gu girl, or we can go meet him and let her make the choice. What do you think? If the Gu girl chooses you, then she'll listen to you. If she chooses me, then she'll listen to me. Do you dare?!"

"What's wrong with this!"

The two men had already stood up and were about to start a fight.

"Also, the third rule is non-negotiable! We are all players, why should I recognize you as my master?"

Shi Xie was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and sneered at Sun Jian's request.

"No, you don't really think that I asked you to acknowledge me as your master just to humiliate you, do you?"

"Isn't it? What else?"

"You really have no brains, Shi Xie. If I want to humiliate you, do I need to be so complicated? I asked you to recognize me as your master for a reason. It's for the sake of the overall situation in the future."

Sun Jian spoke earnestly, but Shi Xie still had an indignant expression on his face.

"What the hell is this overall situation? Do you really want me to recognize you as my master?"

"do not you know?"

"what do you know?"

Hearing Shi Xie's question, Sun Jian couldn't help but hold his forehead and spoke earnestly.

"I'm telling you, the reason I asked you to recognize me as your leader is because my attribute bonus is higher than yours. If you recognize me as your leader, I can provide the Jiaozhou Army with the same attribute bonus as the Yangzhou Army. When the Jiaozhou Army's strength increases, won't we have a greater chance of unifying the world?"

After listening to Sun Jian's analysis, Shi Xie stood there in a daze. He really hadn't thought of this, let alone thought that he could increase the characteristic bonus in this way.

Shi Xie fell into deep thought. If he really wanted to do what Sun Jian said, then he should recognize Sun Jian as his master. After all, in this way, Sun Jian's characteristic bonus could be provided to the Jiaozhou army under Shi Xie's command. While Shi Xie was still thinking, Sun Jian threw out his final trump card. "Wei Yan, don't worry. I only want you to recognize me as your master in name, not in reality. We are only the master and the servant in name only, not in reality."

These words broke through the last line of defense in Shi Xie's heart.

After a long time, Shi Xie nodded slightly, which was considered as his agreement. Sun Jian stood up with a laugh, then raised his eyebrows at Shi Xie. The meaning was obvious, that is, he wanted Shi Xie to kneel down and salute and recognize him as his master.

Shi Xie was confused at first, but then he quickly reacted and his whole body began to tremble with anger.

"What do you want to do? Do you want me to salute you?"

"There has to be a transition."

Sun Jian said with a half-smile, and Shi Xie gave Sun Jian a blank look in annoyance.

"Don't even think about it. Just verbally acknowledge you as your master. Don't push your luck!"

"Hahaha, okay, okay, it doesn't matter. Next, there is the most important thing. Let's go and meet the Gu girl."

Sun Jian laughed loudly, then walked out of the tent. Shi Xie, who was behind him, took a deep breath and calmed himself down before he caught up with Sun Jian.

Outside the tent, Sun Ce and Sun Quan were quietly waiting for Sun Jian and Shi Xie. When they saw Sun Jian with a smile on his face and Shi Xie looked like he had eaten a dead fly, they knew the result of the negotiation between the two. Sun Jian must have had Shi Xie in his control.

"Bofu, come with me. Zhongmou, you go first."

"Yes, father."

Sun Quan did not leave, but stood where he was, watching his father, brother and Shi Xie go away until their figures disappeared. Sun Quan then turned around and returned to his tent. On the desk in the tent were all the war files related to Gu Rubing in recent years. Sun Quan was trying to find Gu Rubing's weaknesses to help his father solve his problems.

Gu Nu's tribe was located on the border of Zangke County in Yizhou. Although Zangke County belonged to Yizhou, there was a continuous mountain range that blocked the route from Yizhou to Zangke County. Zangke County was thus divided into two parts by the mountains.

One part is close to Yizhou, and their living habits and dialects are almost the same as those of Yizhou. However, on the other side of the mountains, in the area of ​​Zangke County of Yizhou, their lives are more inclined to the living habits of Jiaozhou. It is precisely because of this that the Gunu tribe living in the southern part of the mountains in Zangke County did not cooperate with Liu Zhang, who also belonged to Yizhou, but reached a cooperation with Shi Xie of Jiaozhou.

Originally, Sun Jian wanted to bring more people with him so that they could be looked after in case anything happened, but he was rejected by Shi Xie. Shi Xie said that those Gu women lived in seclusion in the mountains, and the more people there were, the harder it would be to travel, and those Gu women did not like too many people knowing the location of their territory.

Therefore, Sun Jian dismissed all the 200 elite soldiers who had followed him, leaving only three people to go to Zangke County. Sun Jian did not care about this. After all, he had the legendary general Sun Ce by his side. As for the 200 elite soldiers, it made no difference whether they were there or not.

However, halfway through the journey, Shi Xie seemed to remember something, and suddenly asked Sun Jian to call back the 200 elite soldiers he had just driven away. Although Sun Jian did not understand what Shi Xie was up to, Sun Jian was so arrogant that he did not think about it carefully. He waved to Sun Ce and asked Sun Ce to call back the 200 elite soldiers.

After the group reunited, it took them a day to reach the border between Jiaozhi County and Zangke County from Longbian County. Everywhere they looked was a mess.

"This was originally a market for trade between Jiaozhi County and the barbarians in the southwest. After I transferred the troops away, there was no army to maintain this place, and it soon lost order. The border trade that I built up in three years completely fell apart in just two weeks."

Shi Xie looked at the mess on the ground and couldn't help but sigh. He had thought that even without the army to maintain order, after three years of settling down, there shouldn't be any major problems here. Even if there were problems, they wouldn't completely disappear in just two weeks.

However, it turned out that Shi Xie was overthinking.

Sun Jian was also feeling deeply moved when he saw this scene. The last time he came here, he sent Sun Ce here to kill people in the southwestern barbarians' territory. At that time, the market here was still prosperous, but now it has become a desolate and dilapidated place.

The wooden houses that had been built were now mostly dismantled and taken away by the barbarians and nearby villagers as firewood.

"Barbarians are difficult to educate. They will eventually disappear in the long river of history."

Sun Jian responded, and at the same time he felt a little regretful. After all, this trading land had provided Shi Xie with a considerable source of income in the past. However, it was just a pity.

They passed through the deserted market and walked for about a day before finally arriving at a dense jungle. The mountain road was rugged and the vegetation was lush, with countless snakes, rats and poisonous insects. The horses could not walk normally here, so the group was forced to abandon the horses and start walking.

After changing from riding horses to walking, their speed of progress began to drop significantly, and soon, Shi Xie was so tired that he was out of breath and could not walk anymore.

"Are you sure those witches live in this place?"

Although Sun Jian's military rank was not high, he was still a military general after all, so his situation was much better than Shi Xie's. He now doubted whether Shi Xie had deliberately led him astray. After all, when he met those Gu girls before, each of them was very delicate and did not look like they would live in such a place.

Shi Xie was breathing heavily and waving his hands frantically at Sun Jian, indicating that he could not speak. Sun Jian was also a little helpless, but still nodded to Sun Ce, indicating that they should stop and rest. After about a quarter of an hour, Shi Xie finally rested and slowly spoke.

"This is where they live. They need to cultivate poison, so they can only live in this kind of deep mountain forest. Could it be that they live in the alleys of the city?"

Faced with Shi Xie's sarcasm, Sun Jian didn't care and just wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"If you can't do it, don't force yourself. Bofu, go find two strong people to take turns carrying our scholar. Otherwise, when will we get to the Gu Nu tribe?"

Shi Xie certainly had no objection to this suggestion and nodded in agreement immediately. It just made life difficult for the soldiers. However, the 200 people he brought were all special troops that Sun Jian had just transferred to. This was also the first special troop under his command.

At the same time, he also understood why the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry under Cao Cao and the White Lie Cavalry under Liu Bei were so strong. It turned out that they were special types of soldiers to which they had transferred.

Sun Jian felt somewhat helpless. He seemed to be lagging behind the two of them in terms of information. However, it was impossible to expect the two of them to share information. He could only explore step by step.
