After the banquet, the generals returned to the camp, and Zhang Hong came to Sun Ce's tent.

"General, the Grandpa Zhao Qi, came to Luoyang and was negotiating with Taiwei Zhu. After that, he would rush to Yecheng to mediate the dispute between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan. Based on the current situation analysis, Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan are likely to accept his mediation. After the northern line is temporarily stable, Yuan Shao can move south. If you go west to serve the king, Luoyang will be empty."

Sun Ce signaled Zhang Hong not to worry. "Sir, don't worry, I won't agree to the king easily. If you can't go, it's better not to go. If you have to, I will also delay and see the situation. If you don't say anything else, you must always prepare the food and grass."

Zhang Hong took a seat opposite Sun Ce. "When Yuan Tan took over Yanzhou, the general should have received the news."

"I received it, and I also started a business with Yuan Tan. Mr. Fengxiao told me your opinions. I roughly know what you mean, but I also want to hear your words say it in person. After these few days, maybe Mr. may have a new insight."

Zhang Hong nodded with a smile. He came to find Sun Ce, naturally because he wanted to make suggestions. His and Guo Jia's suggestions were not exactly the same. No matter what decision Sun Ce made in the end, he had to express his opinions clearly. Sun Ce decided to stay in Luoyang for a while, and apart from being entangled with Zhu Yan for a while, he might not have no intention of controlling Luoyang in his hands.

"General, I am just thinking this. I heard from Fengxiao that the general suspected that Yuan Shao wanted to abolish the eldest son and establish the youngest son. Is there any basis for this analysis?"

"No, it's just a matter of reason. However, it's a fact that Zhang Miao and Yuan Shao are in conflict, so Zhang Miao even bought a thousand knives for this."

Sun Ce told Zhang Hong the whole story, including the exchanges between the messengers and his own analysis. He also had doubts about whether Yuan Shao wanted to abolish the eldest son and establish the youngest son, and felt that Guo Jia's analysis was too bold. However, Yuan Shao liked his youngest son Yuan Shang and intended to abolish the eldest son and established the youngest son. This was also the direction of history later, and it is not impossible to advance in advance at all.

After hearing this, Zhang Hong patted his legs. "General, although this guess is very bold, it is not impossible. At the Battle of Jieqiao, Yuan Shao severely attacked Gongsun Zan with an unfavorable situation and conquered Hebei. It is normal for a moment to be proud. If Yuan Shao could really pacify the world and establish the new dynasty within a few years, Yuan Tan, as his heir, would be a little older."

Sun Ce's heart moved. "Sir, you have been studying in the capital for many years. What do you think of the party members? Will Wang Yun's actions echo Yuan Shao?"

Zhang Hong sighed. The Imperial Academy was right beside him. He revisited the old place many times, but every time he came back, he felt very heavy. He thought for a moment and raised his head. "What do the general think of the party members?"

"A group of scholars who are arrogant and self-righteous."

“I have a slightly different view from the general.”

Sun Ce was a little surprised. He looked at Zhang Hong, and saw Zhang Hong's solemn expression, with a calm look with a hint of indescribable sadness. He knew that he had spoken too quickly just now. When Zhang Hong was young, he was studying in the capital, and it was when the Party and Prison Incident broke out. At that time, the party members were still represented by Li Ying and Du Mi. Li Ying was a real civil and military genius. Zhang Hong might even regard Li Ying as an idol. It was not appropriate for him to regard the party members as scholars with high expectations.

"I'm sorry for a moment, please send me a letter."

Zhang Hong waved his hand with a smile. "The general is so serious. You are actually right. Most party members are arrogant and a little self-righteous, but this is not a fatal injury to the party members. Because these two shortcomings are not exclusive to the party members, nor even to the scholars. Those stupid people who regard themselves as famous generals after reading a few military books and think that they are invincible in the world are also uncommon. There are also many party members who are both civil and military. Yuan Shao's ability to defeat the strong with the weak and defeat Gongsun Zan, who is famous in the northern border, is enough to prove that he is not an empty talker."

Sun Ce laughed. "So, in the sir, where is the fatal injury of the party members?"

"It is too extreme, too much. It is not enough to be too serious. It is a sensationalist to make a name for the sake of making a name. General, the Imperial Academy has 30,000 students. Every year, the number of high-ranking students is only 40. In addition, the prince's servants are only 100 literary anecdotes. He leads 300 people to take one person, which is a drop in the bucket. If he does not stand alone, how can he have the chance to make a comeback? Over time, habits accumulate and do things out of orders, and the party and fining disaster arises. Li Ying killed Zhang Shuo in front and Zhang Jian killed Hou Lan's family in the back. Li Ying killed only one Zhang Shuo, but Zhang Jian killed nearly a hundred people in the Hou family, which was simply a random killing innocent people. As for the Yuan brothers burning the palace and killing more than 2,000 eunuchs, it is even more insignificant. The Master said that the doctrine of meanness, but they still understand the doctrine of meanness."

Sun Ce pondered: "Sir, can I understand that Wang Yun is indeed possible to do this?"

"It is indeed possible, so I opposed the withdrawal of the general and his son from Luoyang. Originally, I was just speculating that now Zhao Qi is ordered to mediate the conflict between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan, and I am almost 70% sure. Originally, Yuan Shao did not recognize the emperor, so he was able to support Liu Yu. Now that Liu Yu refused, he could not proclaim himself emperor immediately, the best way is to include the emperor in his control, or... die directly."

Sun Ce suddenly realized. It seems that communication should be direct in the future, and it is inevitable that there will be errors when someone tells you. Guo Jia may not intend to cover it up, but they have different opinions. It is entirely possible for Zhang Hong to say something that is not easy to say to him.

Yuan Shao threatened the emperor to command the princes? Or, Wang Yun hoped that he would command the emperor to command the princes? Or, he hoped that the emperor would die directly. Liu Bian was already dead, and if Liu Xie died, the Ling Emperor's lineage would be cut off. At that time, either choose another young son as the emperor or claim to be the emperor himself. Several emperors may pop up in the world at once. At this time, it depends on who has a big fist.

As for the Sun family, they were just removed by hand. It would be even more perfect if they could frame the emperor's death on them. When Wang Yun designed it, he might not take the Sun family seriously, at least the main purpose was not them.

Who came up with this brilliant plan to kill two birds with death?

"In Mr.'s opinion, can we defend Luoyang?"

"It's up to man. No matter whether it can be accomplished in the end, you have to try it." Zhang Hong hugged his legs and shook his body gently. "Yuan Shao has never recognized the emperor. No one knows whether Wang Yun and others really regard him as the emperor. If the general can welcome the emperor back to Luoyang, will the emperor trust Yuan Shao or the general? How can the achievements of field battles be comparable to rescue the emperor?"

Sun Ce's eyebrows gradually rose. He looked at Zhang Hong, and the happier he thought about it. No wonder he wanted to use the world as the battlefield with Xun Yu. They were too similar. This was a real master of strategy. In comparison, Guo Jia was better at subtleties and was slightly inferior in the overall situation.

Sun Ce turned his body and leaned against Zhang Hong. "Sir, what if you want to try?"

Zhang Hong smiled. "General, go west to serve the king, what is the biggest danger?"

Sun Ce thought for a while. "The Xiliang soldiers in Hedong and Yuan Shao in Jizhou."
