Taking Xu Hu, Xu Bao and more than twenty light cavalry, He Yan rushed from Wan County to Sun's camp.
Sun Quan and Zhou Yu were waiting for news in the camp, but they were still a little surprised when they heard that it was He Yan who had arrived in person.
"This Marquis Shen is really very courageous."
Although He Yan and Sun Quan and Zhou Yu are not at war with each other now, their relationship is definitely not very harmonious because of the Lujiang County incident.
At this time, He Yan actually dared to come to Sun's camp alone. It can only be said that he was really bold!
"Gong Jin, do you think we should kidnap He Yan, threaten his life, and let the soldiers of Wan County open the city gate?"
Sun Quan obviously has not given up the method of taking Wan County by force, and is still determined to seize the opportunity He Yan brings to his door to capture him in one fell swoop!
"My lord, no!"
Zhou Yu was a little tired.
Even though Sun Quan is very precocious, he still has the mentality of a young man, and when he encounters some setbacks, he will try to act out of anger.
It is a means to threaten others, not a weapon used against the enemy.
Unless absolutely necessary, Zhou Yu was unwilling to anger Cao Cao at this precarious time.
So Zhou Yu comforted Sun Quan and said, "My lord, the main purpose of attacking Li Shu is to frighten the little ones in the territory so that they don't dare to do anything."
"Although Li Shu has been controlled by He Yan, we don't have other ways to achieve our goal!"
The first way is for He Yan to take the initiative to lead his troops to withdraw from Wan County and return Lujiang County to the Sun family.
In this way, even if Li Shu is not defeated personally, Cao Cao can be allowed to hand over a county to him. This will be no less a deterrent to the internal forces in Jiangdong than defeating Li Shu, or even more so!
At the same time, this is also the path Zhou Yu hopes for most.
The second way is, as Sun Quan said, to attack directly, capture He Yan, and take Lujiang by force!
This kind of crazy behavior can undoubtedly achieve the purpose of deterring the inside, but at the same time it will also make Cao Cao evil and put the Sun family in danger.
The third way is to exchange.
Let Cao Cao use his political resources in exchange! Maintain internal stability for Sun Quan.
However, if he chooses this option, the price Sun will have to pay will undoubtedly be huge.
But now, the choice is no longer in Sun's hands, and they can only passively accept it no matter what.
With Zhou Yu's guidance, Sun Quan also got rid of his previous emotions and allowed Zhou Yu to have a calm conversation with He Yan.
——————
——————
While Sun Quan and Zhou Yu were talking, He Yan was already standing at the gate of Sun's camp.
Riding on the express boat and looking down at the camp, He Yan also felt some subtleties from it.
"To judge a general's military ability, you must first look at his camp setting."
"The camps here are interconnected layer by layer, and even the seemingly loose areas are actually intentionally left passages to facilitate the gathering of soldiers."
"What's more, this is a large camp with ten thousand people. It can arrange so many soldiers so meticulously... Zhou Yu's name is really well-deserved!"
Well, although the nominal head coach of the Sun family is Sun Quan, He Yan still dares to conclude that this is the camp arranged by Zhou Yu.
After all, if Sun Quan had this kind of military level, he wouldn't lose like that in the future...
He Yan also fought with many famous generals during the Battle of Guandu, so he was used to big scenes. But even so, the camp arranged by Zhou Yu this time still amazed him and was worth savoring.
Just as He Yan continued to look at the camp, a few people finally walked out of the tent.
In front of him, walking like a tiger and a dragon, the one with the appearance of a master is Sun Quan and Sun Zhongmou.
There were two people standing on his left and right sides, one was young and heroic, the other was experienced and mature, needless to say they were Zhou Yu and Cheng Pu.
After that, there was a fierce and strong man with scars all over his face, neck, hands, and all exposed skin. He was Zhou Tai, Sun Quan's pendant.
The remaining Huang Gai, Han Dang, Jiang Qin and others also stood up, all of them were shrewd and capable, worthy of the title of "Tiger Minister" in later generations.
He Yan's vigilance became even stronger after seeing this scene.
"If the Sun family is not eliminated, it will become a big problem!"
It's a pity that Cao Cao's main target is still in the north, otherwise He Yan would definitely try his best to get Cao Cao to go south and directly destroy the Sun family!
Thinking about how to destroy the Sun family, He Yan had a particularly gentle smile on his face: "I have seen Sun Tuolu!"
The general names of the three generations of the Sun family are all very interesting.
Sun Jian was called the general who defeated the captives, Sun Ce was called the general who defeated the rebels, and Sun Quan was named the general who defeated the captives.
Sun broke the captivity, Sun conquered the rebellion, and Sun conquered the captivity, they really come from the same origin.
"I've met Marquis Shen!"
Sun Quan had a dignified appearance, and he showed no timidity when facing He Yan.
I saw that he also praised with a smile on his face: "Young hero Shen Hou, it is really extraordinary to meet you today! I really admire you!"
It is hard to imagine that someone who "admires" He Yan so much actually said "take down He Yan" not long ago.
While the two masters were being hypocritical and polite, all Sun's generals were also looking at He Yan.
Young is really young.
Good-looking, really good-looking.
Annoying and really annoying...
Everyone knew about He Yan picking peaches, and they didn't feel good about He Yan.
The grumpy Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and other Sun family veterans looked at He Yan with extremely resentful eyes, obviously blaming He Yan for ruining the Sun family's plan.
"Ah".
He Yan didn't care about these looks at all, but continued to chat with Sun Quan like old acquaintances, leaving everyone at the gate of the camp.
"..."
"..."
Sun Quan also didn't expect He Yan to be so good at talking. After talking about himself, he would talk about Sun Ce, after talking about Sun Ce, he would talk about Sun Jian, after talking about Sun Jian, he would talk about Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao...
Seeing that the topic was going further and further, Sun Quan finally couldn't resist and wanted to invite He Yan into the camp.
"No need!"
He Yan said that he just couldn't get in: "I have always heard about the Sun family's valor, and I just came here out of curiosity to see it today."
"Now that the traitor Li Shu has been put to death, I will naturally return to Xuchang to repay my mission to the emperor. You should also return to Jiangdong as soon as possible!"
When Sun Quan heard this, he stared at He Yan with resentful eyes.
What is this called?
You've played so hard that your mouth is dry, and you don't come in?
Bah! Man!
Zhou Yu saw that He Yan had already ridden on the express boat and wanted to leave, so he quickly persuaded: "Marquis Shen! You are here! Why don't you go into the tent and talk about it?"
If He Yan ran away at this time, it would mean that Sun lost the window to talk to Cao Cao.
If the window for dialogue is lost, there will naturally be no possibility of negotiation.
In order to preserve this possibility, Zhou Yu finally took the initiative to show weakness and invited He Yan into the military camp again for a chat.
"When we knew that Marquis Shen was coming, we had prepared enough food and wine, and invited singing and dancing. Please don't dislike it, Marquis Shen."
"oh?"
He Yan became interested and suddenly asked: "I have heard for a long time that 'the song was not performed by Zhou Lang's care'. Are the songs and dances in this tent accompanied by Zhou Lang?"
…
silence!
It's so quiet!
Except for Zhou Yu and Sun Quan, all the Sun generals were furious and wanted to come up and cut He Yan into pieces.
It is true that Zhou Yu is good at music, but he is now the commander-in-chief of the Sun family!
Calling an army commander to accompany He Yan was no longer an insult, but a humiliation for Hong Guoguo!
He Yan looked at everyone's reactions with a sneer on his lips.
"How dare you threaten me? Threaten Sikong?"
"For those who don't know, I thought it was Sun Quan who defeated Yuan Shao and Zhou Yu who captured Wan County!"
Weak people must have a weak attitude!
Zhou Yu and Sun Quan actually dared to threaten themselves with such things as "the fish will die and the net will break". If they don't let Da Qiao come out to dance with them, they will be giving face to the late Sun Ce!
Others are worried about Yuan Shao, but He Yan is not worried!
Yuan Shao will die of illness in another year, and no one except He Yan knows about it!
Threatening He Yan with a dying man, He Yan could only say that his brain was filled with water!
Since Sun Quan and Zhou Yu want to use Yuan Shao to threaten He Yan, then He Yan will let them know that this fox is just a fox after all!
Zhou Yu also slowly raised his head at this time and looked up at He Yan who was riding on the fast boat.
Calm as water.
Zhou Yu's eyes were like a bottomless blue pool without any ripples.
"good."
"Since Marquis Shen wants to listen, then I will naturally play for Marquis Shen myself!"
As soon as Zhou Yu agreed, there was a voice from behind——
"No!"
"Central Guard Army!"
"Marquis Shen! This move is too much!"
"..."
Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and others yelled curses at He Yan to vent their dissatisfaction.
"Okay! It's just playing a song, what's the big deal?"
Zhou Yu, on the other hand, turned around to persuade his generals. His smile was as gentle as ever, and there was no hint of dissatisfaction or displeasure on Zhou Yu's part.
"If I perform it myself, would Marquis Shen be willing to come into the camp and talk about it?"
"nature."
He Yan jumped off the horse again, which made the docile Kuaihang wave his horse's hoof twice in annoyance, obviously dissatisfied with He Yan's up and down and unable to let it gallop happily.
"Don't worry, you will have a chance to play on the plains later."
Touching Kuaihang's nose, He Yan walked into the Sun family camp with a smile on his face, while the others followed He Yan as if they were mourning their heirs.
"Lord, let's go."
Zhou Yu called to Sun Quan: "Go and have a good talk with Marquis Shen and get what we want."
"Um."
Sun Quan's cry was extremely weak. When he turned around, he discovered that Sun Quan, who seemed calm, had blood dripping from his lips.
After sticking out his tongue and licking the blood clean, Sun Quan closed his bloodthirsty eyes and his chest heaved violently.
"Gong Jin."
"Um?"
"If you can defeat Cao Cao openly and openly in the future, I will cut He Yan into pieces to vent my anger for you!"
"ha."
Zhou Yu pursed her lips and wanted to say something, but nothing came out.
Sun Quan grabbed Zhou Yu's arm and squeezed it quietly without any other unnecessary expression.
As the two people who were under the greatest pressure after Sun Ce's death, perhaps they were the only ones who could understand each other's hearts best.
"This time, we must succeed!"
"In order to protect the inheritance of my brother (Bo Fu), I will do whatever it takes!"
