Reborn in the Three Kingdoms, I stole Liu Bei's uncle

Zang Ba thought for a long time but still couldn't figure out why he came to save him.

He glanced at the soldiers around him and ordered, "Follow him and see where they went."

The soldiers walked out quickly and came back to report after a while.

"General, after the two of them left, they led their horses and headed south. It seems that they are preparing to leave Kaiyang."

This time, Zang Ba was even more confused. Are they really leaving?

"Sun Qian said he was coming to rescue us? What do you think?"

Sun Guan was confused.

"I thought about it for a long time, but I still don't understand what it means."

Zang Ba felt very uneasy at this moment. Sun Qian's words were like a thorn in his heart. The pain became more intense as Sun Qian walked away.

He endured it for a moment, but finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Quick, invite Sun Gongyou over."

The soldiers turned around and took the order and went after Sun Qian.

Sun Qian led the horse and walked in front. Xu Chu caught up and couldn't help asking, "Gongyou, are we really going to leave like this?"

Sun Qian smiled and said, "General Xu, don't worry. I have already found out Zang Ba's character. If I don't find out what I just said, I'm afraid he won't be able to sleep.

We just keep moving forward. The more determined we are, the more uncertain he will be.”

"So that's how it is." Xu Chu finally understood the meaning of this operation.

Seeing Sun Qian's smiling face, Xu Chu couldn't help but complain in his heart, although Sun Qian looked honest, who knew he was full of schemes.

The two had not walked far when they heard the voices of soldiers behind them.

"Sir, please stay. My general wants to see you."

Sun Qian did not stop, but glanced at the soldiers who were chasing him and said calmly: "Since General Zang does not believe me, there is not much point in letting me go back. You go back and tell General Zang that I have something important to attend to and I will not go back."

When the soldiers heard that Sun Qian had no intention of stopping, they hurriedly took a few quick steps.

"My general does have something important to discuss with you, sir. Please stay."

"Important? What important things? I have just said everything that needs to be said. Now I have nothing to say. I will tell the general."

Sun Qian said calmly, with a hint of indifference in his tone.

Seeing that Sun Qian was determined to leave, the soldier hurriedly winked at the man behind him. The man instantly understood what he meant and turned around and ran into the mansion.

The soldiers received orders from Zang Ba that Sun Qian must not be allowed to leave under any circumstances, but no matter how hard he talked, Sun Qian remained unmoved and was determined to leave.

Not only did his pace become faster and faster, but in the end, he actually mounted his warhorse and prepared to gallop away from this place.

Seeing this situation, the soldiers dared not delay any longer and hurriedly came in front of Sun Qian and stopped his horse.

"What? Is Kaiyang City a den of dragons and tigers? Once you come here, you won't be allowed to leave?"

The soldiers looked embarrassed and didn't know what to do when Zang Ba and Sun Guan came running over quickly.

"Gongyou, walk slowly." Zang Ba's voice came from a distance. He was a little out of breath as he trotted along. "Gongyou, why are you leaving in the middle of a conversation? Come back with me. I have something else to ask you."

"General Zang, I am always good at being mysterious, so I won't bother you any more. Please go back."

Zang Ba felt a little embarrassed. He had just said that he was being mysterious, and he still remembered it.

Scholars are really narrow-minded.

"Don't blame me, Gongyou. I just said something wrong. Gongyou has come from afar, so I should do my best to be a good host. Please come back with me to the mansion, have some wine and meat, and then it won't be too late to leave."

Sun Qian looked up at the sky, pondered for a moment, and then slowly said: "After hearing what General Zang said, I am really a little hungry. Since General Zang has invited me so kindly, I will have a glass of water and wine before leaving."

Zang Ba was overjoyed and hurriedly led the way to welcome Sun Qian back.

Looking at the somewhat flattering expression on Zang Ba's face, Xu Chu was stunned for a moment.

It's so unreasonable.

It didn't seem like we were here to persuade Zang Ba, but more like we were here to visit his home.

Zang Ba welcomed Sun Qian into the hall, asked the soldiers to leave, and ordered the servants to serve wine and food quickly.

Sun Qian sat calmly on the couch. When the wine and meat were served, he started to eat the meat and drink the wine.

Zang Ba wanted to toast Sun Qian and ask him what he meant by that sentence, but Sun Qian didn't give him a chance and just ate meat and drank without even raising his head.

When Zang Ba saw this situation, he became more and more certain that Sun Qian was indeed here to save him, otherwise he would not be so calm.

As Zang Ba waited anxiously, Sun Qian finally had enough wine and food. He rubbed his mouth, stood up, saluted to Zang Ba and said, "Thank you, General Zang, for your hospitality. If you come to Xia Pi City another day, I will return the wine and meat to you. Now that I have eaten and drunk enough, I will not disturb you anymore. Goodbye."

After saying that, he stepped out and was about to go out the door.

Watching Sun Qian leisurely walking out, Zang Ba became even more confused. Was he really here to eat meat and drink?

He stood up hurriedly, pulled Sun Qian and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Gongyou, I still have something important to ask Gongyou."

Sun Qian burped and asked casually, "General Zang, do you believe what I say?"

"Gong You is a famous scholar in Xuzhou. Every word he said is a pearl. How can I not believe it?"

"Well, I just had a meal with the general. If I don't leave a few words, it would be a bit unreasonable."

Seeing that Sun Qian agreed, Zang Ba showed joy.

"Gongyou, please take a seat. Let's sit down and talk."

Under Zang Ba's strong persuasion, Sun Qian sat down "reluctantly".

He glanced at Zang Ba and said slowly: "General Zang, you now have three major shortcomings, each of which is enough to bring you disaster."

"Gongyou, please tell me, there are three drawbacks."

“First, the site is small and development is limited;

Second, if we let things run wild, we will lose the support of the people;

Third, the location is awkward, with many vassal states surrounding it. "

How can General Zang last long if he is unaware of these three shortcomings? If his prediction is correct, Kaiyang City will be captured in a year at the latest and half a year at the fastest.

If the general is lucky, he may be able to escape with his life, but if he is unlucky, he will probably be beheaded."

"Isn't what Gong You said a bit alarmist?" Sun Guan took over the conversation and spoke slowly.

"Alarmist?" Sun Qian had a faint smile on his face. "Kaiyang City is small and has few people. Even if the general continues to develop for another ten years, how much can he achieve? He will still be controlled by others everywhere, right?

In the Battle of Xuzhou, the general watched the people being slaughtered by Cao Cao, but he remained indifferent. It seemed that he was preserving his strength, but in fact he had lost the support of the people. The people of Xuzhou hated the general even more than Cao Cao.

They wish they could eat the general's flesh and drink his blood. Doesn't the general know this?

To the north of Kaiyang is Cao Mengde, and to the south is Liu Huangshu. Both of them have many counselors and brave generals under their command. Does the general have a chance of winning against either of them?

With these three drawbacks, isn't the general in imminent danger and imminent disaster? "
