Chapter 83
Sun Jian's words made Cao Cao's expression gradually cool down, but he still planned to persuade him again.
"Brother Wentai..."
"Okay, Mend."
It was Liu Bian who spoke and stopped Cao Cao from continuing to persuade.
"General Sun has made up his mind to go. At the beginning, I kept him waiting for you to come back, which hindered the progress of General Sun's plan. Now that you have come back, how can I have no reason to say nothing? And the Yuan brothers, also As you said, it cannot become a real threat, as long as I wait to defend Luoyang, there will be no problems."
Liu Bian waved to Cao Cao, then looked at Sun Jian and said:
"General Sun, your duties have been fulfilled. Now the Yuan brothers' army is only fifty miles away from Luoyang. If you wait until their army arrives, it may be too late for you to leave. How about this, immediately let your subordinates exchange with Meng De's subordinates. City defense, and then we can withdraw from Luoyang City and return to Jiangdong."
"Your Highness..."
Sun Jian raised his head in surprise and looked like Liu Bian, but he still saw that Liu Bian still had a calm expression on his face, just like when the two met for the first time!
In those unwavering eyes, Sun Jian found that he still couldn't see through this boy who was actually one year younger than his eldest son, Sun Ce!
So young, so profound!
Sun Jian suddenly had a feeling that the imperial seal should really be in the hands of His Highness in front of him, rather than something he could get his hands on. Perhaps leaving Luoyang this time was a wrong decision.
But now that the arrow is on the line, Sun Jian even has plans for various layouts after returning to Jiangdong, and Liu Bian still allows him to leave at this time!
This kind of opportunity may never come back again!
"What this king promised will never change. General Sun can rest assured, but if General Sun is willing to stay and help, this king will be very grateful!"
Liu Bian also looked at Sun Jian, feeling a little bit of struggle and pity in his heart.
Sun Jingjian can be regarded as a hero. If he is willing to surrender to Liu Bian, then Liu Bian will really use him in a big way.
But the fact is that after Sun Jian got the jade seal, he became disobedient to Liu Bian, and his decision left Liu Bian with no choice!
Both Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu should have known about Sun Jian's acquisition of the jade seal. After all, Sun Jian was once Yuan Shu's subordinate, and it was normal for him to have Yuan Shu's spies in his army.
But Sun Jian didn't know about this, and Liu Bian didn't intend to tell him.After all, Sun Jian went here to make an enemy of Liu Bian in the future.
Even so, at this last moment, Liu Bian still left a step for Sun Jian. If he was willing to change his mind, even if he didn't offer the jade seal, Liu Bian would pretend not to know.
However, Sun Jian's answer did not satisfy Liu Bian.
"I'm really sorry, Your Highness, Sun, and the generals of Jiangdong, really can't fight anymore..."
Sun Jian stood up and bowed deeply to Liu Bian.
And this bow made Liu Bian completely understand that Sun Jian would not change his mind.
Sighing lightly, Liu Bian looked away from Sun Jian and looked at Cao Cao beside him.
"Mengde, please go and hand over the city defense matters with General Sun immediately. You must be quick and don't delay General Sun from leaving the city."
"Your Highness..."
Cao Cao turned to look at Liu Bian, his face full of puzzlement and doubt.
But Liu Bian just waved his hand gently and then said:
"Needless to say, let's go."
Cao Cao could only turn his gaze away, and looked at Sun Jian, but it turned completely indifferent.
"General Sun, do you know how much trouble you will bring to Luoyang and His Highness if you leave today!?"
Sun Jian bowed his head and said nothing, just turned around and walked out the door.
Cao Cao could only salute Liu Bian, and then chased after Sun Jian's back.
In the hall, both Wang Kuang and Bao Xin looked at Liu Bian with puzzled expressions.
Relying on his close relationship with Liu Bian, Wang Kuang was the first to speak:
"Your Highness, why did you let Sun Wentai leave? He said that Jiangdong's soldiers were seriously injured. Who has not suffered losses in these days of fighting? He also said that he has lost his fighting power. This is nonsense! Your Highness cannot believe it!"
"The information that General Cao brought back before has made it very clear. The armies of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu are already nearby. Even if Sun Jian can escape in time, it will never be hidden from their eyes. If they know, in this kind of situation At that time, if another general in Luoyang City leaves... it will surely increase their confidence in attacking Luoyang! "
"At that time, His Highness and Luoyang will be in danger!"
What Wang Kuang said was exactly what Cao Cao didn't finish. This matter is extremely simple, and everyone can see it clearly, but in their view, Liu Bian, who has always been clever and calculating, is not clear!
"I understand what you said."
Liu Bian looked indifferent, nodded to Wang Kuang and said:
"However, since I have made a promise to Sun Jian before, it will not change. Now Luoyang city defense is extremely strong. With the advantage of city defense, we only need to hold on. After a period of time, the soldiers and horses of the Yuan brothers will retreat. "
"However, in this way, our losses will also..."
Wang Kuang wanted to say something, but Liu Bian reached out to stop him.
"Okay, this matter has been settled."
Liu Bian thought to himself, I can't tell you that Sun Jian actually took the Chuanguo Yuxi, and both Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu knew about it, I let Sun Jian go on purpose, just to let him attract the attention of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, right?
After finishing this topic, Liu Bian looked at Wang Kuang and Bao Xin and said:
"When Mengde was talking just now, I noticed that the two of you seemed to have something to say, what's the matter?"
Both Wang Kuang and Bao Xin were taken aback for a moment, and then they both showed that somewhat embarrassed expression.
"Your Highness... that's right."
Seeing that Wang Kuang seemed to be still immersed in what just happened, Bao Xin had no choice but to stand up and argue to Liu:
"Just now Meng De said that Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu have been away for a long time. In fact, most of us are in the same situation. Whether it is me, Wang Taishou, or Sun Jian, they are all in the same way. , I am worried about Jibei, and I believe that Wang Taishou is also thinking about Hanoi County."
As Bao Xin spoke, he looked at Wang Kuang who was on the side, but saw that Wang Kuang also looked embarrassed, but he still nodded slightly.
"Is that so..."
Liu Bian nodded, this is a very realistic thing. Now that the Eighteenth Route Allied Forces have been disbanded, many people are ready to go back to their bases. Bao Xin and Wang Kuang also have similar moods.
Liu Bian also understood that since these two people have been loyal to him, their territory will naturally belong to him, and they will naturally protect and develop it. Although Luoyang can be managed by Wang Kuang for the time being, it cannot always be like this. After all, these two people still If you want to return to your own territory, you can link up with Luoyang to form a situation of mutual assistance, and you can also provide more resources to Liu Bian.
