The old scholar was so angry that his face turned pale and glared at Jiang Gan. Jiang Gan smiled slightly. "A few days ago, thousands of scholars from Runan gathered in Pingyu to seek justice for Xu Zijiang. You are afraid you are not qualified to participate? If not, how could you still speak shamelessly and confuse the public? Why, do you think you are more clever than Xu Zijiang?"

The old scholar's face turned red and white, and he sat down awkwardly.

Jiang Gan turned to look at Li Tong. "Does the Duwei think Yuan Benchu ​​is very powerful?"

Li Tong smiled. "Yuan Benchu's four generations of three kings, and he shouted at him. The heroes of the world returned home after seeing the wind. Isn't they better than the father and son of the Sun family?"

"That's right, Yuan Benchu ​​has four generations and three masters, and all the famous scholars and heroes in the world are looking for the shadow of the wind. Shandong prefectures and counties are fighting against Dong, and he is the leader of the alliance, with hundreds of thousands of troops, while Sun Yuzhou has only tens of thousands of troops and insufficient food and fodder. It is indeed impossible to compare with Yuan Benchu. But who was the one who finally defeated Dong Zhuo and recovered Luoyang?"

Li Tong was speechless.

"Last year, the Xiliang soldiers attacked Nanyang, Tu Nanxiang, Shunyang, and rushed to Rangcheng. Who defeated them and wiped out more than 20,000 infantry and cavalry? The Duwei stationed troops in Langling, not far from Yingchuan, and should have seen the cruelty of the Xiliang soldiers. The Duwei is responsible for defending the territory, but what achievements are worth boasting about?"

Li Tong's face was red and he couldn't say a word.

Jiang Gan sneered and turned to look at the old Confucian scholar. "Since you are sitting here, you must be planning for the lieutenant. I would like to ask you, if General Sun sends a group of troops into Sui County, Anlu, and Liu Zitai, there are still soldiers and soldiers to Pingchun?"

The old Confucian scholar turned his head and did not dare to look at Jiang Gan.

Jiang Gan looked around, his eyes swept over one by one, and finally fell on Li Tong's face. "There are five methods of fighting. If you can fight, you will fight. If you can guard it, you will guard it. If you cannot, you will go. If you die, you will surrender. Please let the commander do what you can and don't miss your future." He bowed. "There is nothing more than this, so let's say goodbye." After saying that, he turned around and left.

Li Tong was stunned and didn't know how to deal with it. With the skill of the wrong god, Jiang Gan had already gotten out of the class, put on his shoes, and walked out with great strides. It seemed like a war was ignited at any time. He had to run quickly, otherwise he would be affected. Li Tong was anxious and jumped up, and didn't bother to put on his shoes, ran into the court, blocking Jiang Gan's way.

"Sir, stay."

Jiang Gan held his hands behind his back. "I have said what I should say. Why do I stay? I have already smelled the corpse gas on your body and didn't want to stay for a moment."

Li Tong was amused and crying. "Sir, how can you explain to General Sun when you go back like this?"

"I don't need to explain to General Sun." Jiang Gan laughed. "General Sun said, you don't want to pacify the world, you don't want to guard your home, and you don't have the ambition to make achievements. You are just a group of wild pheasants hiding in the mountains to dig for food. What's the use of wild pheasants? It's just that children test their shooting, test their martial arts, then pull their hair, eat their flesh, and keep their pheasant tails to show off their martial arts. The general's training has been made, and it's just for you to try the blade. I can't bear to see you making mistakes, so I came to persuade you to be brave. Now I have already persuaded you, what else can I do if I don't leave? Can you collect your corpses?"

The people who chased after Jiang Gan were scared and looked down upon hearing Jiang Gan's words. They looked at each other for a long time and pushed Li Tong in front of Jiang Gan. Li Tong was embarrassed and rubbed his hands.

"Sir, can I... ask a question?"

"you say."

"If we surrender to General Sun, will General Sun... take away our land and property?"

Jiang Gan glanced at Li Tong sideways, as if he thought this problem was very idiotic. Li Tong was guilty of being seen by him, but he was unwilling to retreat, but just held on. After a while, Jiang Gan sighed. "If you surrender to General Sun, General Sun will only take you to steal others. How could he rob you? Is your property worth his action?"

Li Tong and others were overjoyed.

——

Xiling, Jiangxia Prefect's Mansion.

Liu Xun lowered his eyelids and did not move. Huang Yi sat aside, his face extremely awkward and he didn't dare to raise his eyelids. Xinpi rushed from Runan. When he saw Liu Xun, he showed his identity as the special envoy of Yuan Shao and pointed out the severe situation facing Liu Xun, which made him, Gongcao, who boasted of himself as Liu Xun's think tank, feel embarrassed.

Huang Yi learned that Xu Rong had entered Nanyang to change his camp. At that time, he felt that Sun Ce was only one step away from his death. How could the 20,000 Nanyang County soldiers be the same number of Xiliang infantry and cavalry opponents? What's more, the commander of the Xiliang people was Xu Rong who had defeated Sun Jian. Liu Xun also thought so, hit it off, appointed Huang Yi as Gongcao, and sent someone to surrender to Yuan Shao.

Gongcao is in charge of the personnel affairs of a county and is a veritable official. The powerful Gongcao can often underestimate the prefect. "Nanyang Prefect Cen Gongxiao, Hongnong became a leader but whistled." Huang Yi is not unfamiliar with this sentence. Now he has the opportunity to admire his predecessors, so of course he will not miss it.

But they never expected that Sun Ce not only won, but also won a great victory, and wiped out 20,000 infantry and cavalry in Xu Rong.

When Sun Ce moved to Yuzhou, Liu Xun was already panicked. He was considering whether to change the ward again, but was stopped by Huang Yi. Huang Yi said that Sun Ce was rude and easy to kill. It was an accident that he succeeded in Nanyang, but he would not be so smooth when he arrived in Runan. Runan had no danger to defend. Once Yuan Shao went south, Sun Ce had to withdraw back to Nanyang. If the ward now, it would be difficult to invest in Yuan Shao in the future. It would be better to persevere.

Liu Xun accepted Huang Yi's suggestion. When he heard that Sun Ce and Xu Shao had a conflict, more than a thousand celebrities gathered in Pingyu to seek justice for Xu Shao, Liu Xun admired Huang Yi and felt that scholars were different. Before their happiness could pass, Xin Pi suddenly rushed to Xiling and reminded them to strengthen their vigilance. Sun Ce was preparing for war and could go south at any time to seize Jiangxia and Nanjun. He also pointed out that Liu Xun abandoned Nanjun and stationed in Jiangxia was a big mistake, and asked him to change his strategy immediately, take the initiative to go north, and attack Sun Ce.

Liu Xun was frightened by Xin Pi's reputation. Among the famous scholars in Yingchuan, the older generation was the fourth eldest son of Yingchuan, Zhong Han Chenxun, and the younger generation was Xin Chen Du Zhao. Xin Pi was the first in Xin, and was definitely not comparable to Huang Yi. He also had the identity of Yuan Shao's special envoy, so his opinions were naturally extraordinary. More importantly, Xin Pi's analysis was very good. Jiangxia's strength was too weak to support the defense of the three passes, and Li Tong was not worthy of relying on it. Once Sun Ce sent people from Sui County and Anlu attacked Jiangxia's abdomen, the three passes would be lost.

Xinpi asked Liu Xun to launch all the troops from Jiangxia, Nanjun and four counties in Jiangnan to attack Xiangyang north, and at the same time occupy Suizhou, and connect Xiangyang, Suizhou and the three passes to form one, block Sun Ce north of the Han River, and force Sun Ce to give up Yuzhou and retreat to Nanyang.

Xin Pi also told Liu Xun that Yuan Shu's son Yuan Yao had already been loyal to Yuan Shao. He had just returned to Runan. Sun Ce is nothing now. You don't have to care about him at all. As long as he is loyal to Yuan Shao, no one can say anything about you. Dong Zhuo has been killed, and the whole world is full of people. Yuan Shao will soon be able to win without fighting. This is your last chance, so don't miss it.

What Xinpi said is correct. The only problem is that whether it is Liu Xun or Huang Yi, he doesn’t feel that he has the ability to defeat Sun Ce. Even if Xinpi’s eloquence is good, it’s useless. Can he deny Sun Ce’s achievements in annihilation of Xu Rong? What is the difference between proactively challenging Sun Ce and dying?
