I have three hundred soldiers, all of whom can warm wine and kill Hua Xiong

Silizhou, Dangyin Fortress.

Except for Sun Ce's [-] troops, the rest of the armies of the princes had already arrived around the fortress.

In the meeting hall, He Jin and Pei Yuanshao stood respectfully in front of Wei Chu.

Listening patiently to Wei Chu reminiscing about the past.

"Third brother, do you still remember Dangyin Fortress?"

Hearing Wei Chu's words, Pei Yuanshao nodded quickly.

"Of course I remember. At that time, He Miao was planning a trick on us at Dangyin Fortress. In the end, we easily resolved it, and He Miao became our prisoner."

"Oh, time flies so fast, it seems like several years have passed in the blink of an eye. We have all changed, but Dangyin Fortress has not changed much."

Having said this, Wei Chu turned his attention to Pei Yuanshao again.

"Third brother, in recent years, I have kept you and your second brother in Luoyang. Do you have any complaints about this in your heart?"

Wei Chu's words made Pei Yuanshao slightly shocked.

He reacted, hurriedly clasped his fists at Wei Chu and said: "Second brother and I both know that the eldest brother has deep intentions in this arrangement. Firstly, the eldest brother is worried that second brother and I will be hurt after we go to the battlefield. Secondly, The eldest brother must think that the location of Sili Prefecture is important, so he left me and the second brother to garrison Sili Prefecture."

"Besides, without eldest brother, we wouldn't be where we are today. So, how can we resent eldest brother."

Wei Chu stepped forward with some relief and patted Pei Yuanshao's shoulder hard.

"Third brother, you can understand me, which makes me feel very relieved. The emperor is really important to us now."

Pei Yuanshao grinned.

Even though he had taken the Qiling Pill, Pei Yuanshao's thoughts were still very simple in front of Wei Chu. In Pei Yuanshao's view, he could just do whatever Wei Chu asked him to do.

Anyway, Pei Yuanshao firmly believed that Wei Chu would never harm him.

After a moment of silence, Pei Yuanshao said to Wei Chu again: "Brother, I wonder if using troops against Jizhou this time will make me happy?"

Hearing Pei Yuanshao's words, Wei Chu hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but waved his hand to Pei Yuanshao.

"Third brother, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to let you enjoy the war this time against Jizhou. Because in the next battle, we will only lose, not win."

Wei Chu's words made Pei Yuanshao raise his eyebrows slightly.

"Brother is planning to use this opportunity to weaken the power of various princes?"

"Yes, my purpose of gathering troops this time is not really to eradicate Yuan Shao. After all, Yuan Shao is just a puppet in my hands now. If I want to eradicate Yuan Shao, Guan Yu, Guan Hai and Zhang Fei can easily kill Yuan Shao. "

"So, the purpose of our gathering of troops this time is to seek a disastrous defeat. I want to use this disastrous defeat to destroy Ji Ling of Yuzhou, Tao Qian of Xuzhou, and Cao Ang."

"Although doing this is not very righteous. But in order to end the world's conflicts as soon as possible and unify the world, being a villain is nothing."

After listening to Wei Chu's words, He Jin thought for a while and stood up and said: "General, the princes who are sending troops this time include Sun Jian, the governor of Yangzhou. Sun Jian sent his son Sun Ce to bring [-] troops. Are we going to let Sun Jian go?" Soldiers and horses?"

Wei Chu nodded slightly.

"Sun Jian has intentionally defected to me. In the future, we can take Yangzhou through peaceful means. At the same time, Yangzhou will help us take Yuzhou and Xuzhou. Therefore, Yangzhou's power must be preserved as much as possible in this battle. suffered a loss.”

"understood."

He Jin nodded heavily, and then flattered Wei Chu again.

"The land that the general has now occupied has been added to Yangzhou. The general's unification of the world is just around the corner."

Wei Chu waved his hand to He Jin and said, "I won't say any more compliments. Next, let's talk about how to make Ji Ling and others willing to fight against the Jizhou Army."

This time, as soon as Wei Chu finished speaking, Pei Yuanshao smiled and said: "Hahaha, I have a plan here that should make Ji Ling and others willing to attack Yecheng."

"Third brother, what solution have you come up with?"

"The method is very simple. Tomorrow we can promise all the princes. If anyone can lead the troops to occupy Yecheng, the emperor will issue an edict to appoint him as the governor of Jizhou!"

"As the saying goes, there must be a brave man under a heavy reward. We use the land of a state as bait, and we are not afraid that Ji Ling and others will not be fooled."

"it is good!"

Wei Chu patted Pei Yuanshao's shoulder with relief, then turned his attention to He Jin and said: "He Jin, tomorrow we will convene all the princes to discuss and announce what my third brother just said. Tell all the princes that whoever can capture Yecheng will be the governor of Jizhou."

He Jin nodded and was about to step forward to flatter Pei Yuanshao, but he still heard a soldier outside the meeting hall shouting: "General, the Yangzhou Army has arrived."

"understood."

He Jin shouted outside the meeting hall, then turned around and looked at Wei Chu.

"General, do you want to go and greet Sun Ce in person?"

"I'm not going."

Wei Chu waved his hand gently and said: "It is best not to expose the relationship between me and Sun Ce in public for the time being. Therefore, I will wait for Sun Ce at this place."

After thinking about it, Wei Chu added another sentence.

"By the way, Huang Gai and Sun Ce have a good relationship. When you go to greet Sun Ce, you can take Huang Gai with you."

Sun Ce had just approached Dangyin City with [-] soldiers.

The gate of Dangyin City suddenly opened.

Then a group of people rushed out from Dangyin City.

Sun Ce's eyesight was pretty good, and he could see clearly at first glance. The person who rushed the fastest happened to be Huang Gai.

Sun Ce was also a little excited when he saw Huang Gai.

Huang Gai was trapped in Youzhou as a hostage, and Sun Ce had been worried about Huang Gai's comfort before.

Now that he saw Huang Quanquan safe and sound, the big stone weighing on Sun Ce's heart could finally be removed.

Sun Ce quickly drove his horse forward and asked Huang Gai loudly: "Hahaha, I haven't seen you for a long time, General Huang. I see your face is glowing. It seems that you are living a good life in Youzhou."

Huang Gai also smiled excitedly at Sun Ce and said, "Haha, some time ago, I followed Wei Chu on a trip to the Western Regions. My life was not only fulfilling, but also very enjoyable."

Upon hearing Huang Gai's words, Sun Ce's brows suddenly furrowed.

"Have you defected to Wei Chu?"

"My lord, I..."

Before Huang Gai could finish speaking with a grimace, Sun Ce waved his hand to Huang Gai again.

"When I come here this time, I also want to chat with Wei Chu. Since you and Wei Chu get along relatively well, I'll let you introduce me."

"I hope to see Wei Chu. Wei Chu will not disappoint me."
