Sun Shao was very surprised and speechless for a while. Finally, he looked at Wei Ba in admiration and bowed to salute.

The three people he mentioned are not the three casual children of the Sun family.

Sun Shao is Sun Ce's son and has been idle in Wu. Not only is he not a title of marquis, but he doesn't even have a title that can be mentioned, let alone lead troops to fight. He is just a thorn in Sun Quan's heart, and no one dares to touch it easily. Even Sun Shao, as Sun Shao's righteous brother, would not easily mention this matter.

Sun Song is the son of Sun Yi. He is a little better than Sun Shao. He has become an official and a marquis, and he is a little decent. However, he has not led his troops and is still an idle person.

Sun Tai is the son of Sun Kuang, and his mother is the daughter of Cao Cao's younger brother Cao De. In terms of generations, he is a peer of Xiahou Xuan. Because of his marriage with Cao, Sun Kuang was also an unpopular among the Sun brothers. He never became an official and died at the age of 20. After Sun Tai became an adult, he became the Changshui Captain, and was a free job like Sun Song.

These three people are the most suppressed in Sun Quan's royal family. Sun Shao's request to take them to the expedition has two meanings: one is to express his dissatisfaction with Sun Quan's previous policies, and the other is to test Wei Ba. If these people make meritorious service, the Sun family's power may rise again. Generally speaking, out of prudence, Wei Ba will definitely not agree to his request.

Unexpectedly, Wei Ba agreed immediately without any hesitation. Sun Shao had to admit that this young man was either numb and ignorant, or he was extremely greedy and could tolerate anyone.

Judging from all the signs, Wei Ba does not seem to be a numb person. The latter explanation is more reasonable.

Sun Shao was very satisfied.

Wei Ba immediately called two more people: "General, when you go overseas, these two people will take over your defense zone. You can get to know each other first, and you can make some handover later."

Sun Shao looked closely and couldn't help but be surprised: "Zhou Yin? Why are you..."

Zhou Yin curled his lips: "General Henghai Zhou Yin, have met General Sun."

Sun Shao looked at Zhou Yin for a moment and sneered: "It turns out that I'm promoted, no wonder, no wonder."

Zhou Yin looked cold, but Xiahou Xuan continued to talk and said with a smile: "General Sun, he was promoted based on his military achievements."

"So, I really haven't heard of what kind of contribution he made after entering the Han Dynasty, and he could become General Henghai in one go."

"To be honest, General Zhou is the first contribution to our army's success from Wujun to Yuzhang."

Sun Shao was shocked and his scalp became numb.

Zhou Yin's eyes narrowed: "The general has been in Guangling for many years. I think he has not encountered any opponents. This tactic... has not made much progress for many years."

Sun Shao blushed and stared at Zhou Yin, but he didn't say anything for a long time. Now he understood why Xiahou Xuan and Zhuge Dan were so clever when he led the army with scholars. He beat the Wu army's navy to the point of falling. It turned out that behind them was Zhou Yin, a man who knew the Eastern Wu navy well. In this way, everything would be natural.

Sun Shao looked at Wei Ba in awe, feeling a little scared. He knew that Zhou Yin was resentful and did not want to get involved with him. He turned his head to look at the other person who was pushed out by Wei Ba: "This person... looks so familiar."

Ding Feng bowed and bowed: "Ding Feng, Lujiang, once followed General Zhe Chong, assisted the general of the country to fight, and was promoted to the general of the chariot and cavalry five years ago."

Sun Shao remembered that he was not as mean as he was to Zhou Yin. In his eyes, a general like Ding Feng was not worth mentioning at all.

Xiahou Xuan smiled slightly: "His wife is the youngest daughter of General Zhe Chong Gan Xingba."

Sun Shao was shocked again. Gan Ning had a daughter alive? He was immediately frightened. After Gan Ning's death, Sun Quan was not very kind to his descendants. Gan Yan's death was largely related to Sun Quan. Now Gan Ning's daughter and son-in-law have returned to Jiangdong, and I don't know what will happen again. Wei Ba selected two people from Wu General to take over his defense zone. It seemed that it was a deliberate plan. No wonder he agreed so readily just now. It turned out that he was prepared.

Wei Ba saw Sun Shao's shock in his eyes, and he said calmly: "General Sun, you can take your old subordinates away as long as you are willing to take them away, and I will recruit them again. I have already discussed with Lu Boyan, Zhang Huishu and others that they will help me recruit new recruits."

Sun Shao sighed in his heart. He knew that he had no capital to negotiate with Wei Ba. Wei Ba did not want his soldiers at all. With the support of the Lu family and Zhang family, and the reputation of the divine general, it was easy for Wei Ba to recruit tens of thousands of people. Compared to accepting his old subordinates, it took a little longer to do so, but it also avoided a lot of trouble and basically there would be no situation of being unable to command.

For Wei Ba, time is not a problem, and money is not a problem. Of course, there is no need for him to accept his old subordinates and create unnecessary conflicts.

The strength of both sides is not at the same level at all. They have to agree, and they have to agree if they don’t agree. Sun Shao readily accepted Wei Ba’s proposal, took away more than 8,000 of his old subordinates, and handed over the rest to Wei Ba. Zhou Yin and Ding Feng took over, selecting those people, and staying with those who are willing to join the army and have good conditions. All the old and weak will be sent home to farm.

Half a month later, Sun Shao brought more than 8,000 elite troops onto the warship, and Sun Shao, Sun Song and Sun Tai were accompanied by him. Before leaving the shore, Sun Shao wrote a long letter to Sun Quan, explaining the incident in detail, and reporting to Sun Quan about everything Wei Ba did in Guangling in the past half month.

After receiving the letter, Sun Quan sighed to the sky.

...

It was not only Sun Quan who sighed to the sky, but also the new Yan King Gongsun Yuan.

After more than a month of running around, Wei Xing, the envoy of the Shu Han court, finally arrived in Xiangping and handed over the emperor's edict, demanding that Gongsun Yuan surrender to the Chengdu court and jointly attack the rebel Wei.

Gongsun Yuan wanted to mock Wei Xing out with a mockery. He had already accepted the title of Cao Wei, so how could he accept the Shu Han court again? Besides, Cao Wei is right next to him, but Shu Han is thousands of miles away. As long as he is not a fool, he can know which one to choose.

However, when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back. He remembered Guan Lu's statement.

Wei Ba's expedition plan was passed into his ears more than a month ago. It was not detailed enough, but it was enough to explain the problem. Gongsun Yuan was not stupid. Of course, he knew what Wei Ba wanted to do, and then used Liaodong's war horse resources to form cavalry, treating Liaodong as a sharp knife inserted into Cao Wei's back was a wonderful achievement for Wei Ba. However, for him, Gongsun Yuan, accepting this title was equivalent to being tied to Wei Ba's chariot. Whether he agreed or not, Wei Ba would occupy Liaodong. In the end, he was left with only one short title, just like the current King of Wu Sun Quan.

For this reason, he accepted the title of Cao Wei. At least Cao Wei is not able to expedition to Liaodong at present, and it will not affect the independence of his small kingdom.

However, when it was time to spit on the Shu Han envoy, he hesitated.

Is it rational to break up with the Shu Han court? It seems that Shu Han is too far away, but a few years later, who knows what the situation will be? Five years ago, no one expected that Shu Han would take the initiative.

Gongsun Yuan wanted to find Guan Lu to make a fortune, but since that time, Guan Lu never showed up again and disappeared completely.

Gongsun Yuan asked the Shu Han envoy to take a rest in the inn, and then found his son Gongsun Xiu and asked him to go to the inn to explore Wei Xing's words.

Gongsun Xiu received the order and came to the inn. He was very polite. After sitting down, he said some polite words, and then complained about his suffering. Liaodong was weak and was not a match for Cao Wei, so he had to compromise and temporarily plead with Cao Wei to make a mistake.

Wei Xing looked at Gongsun Xiu without saying a word until Gongsun Xiu felt bored and closed his mouth. Then he said casually: "Do you think Chengdu is too far away and beyond reach?"

Gongsun Xiu laughed awkwardly, not saying anything.

"Do you know that my young master, General Cheqi has arrived in Guangling?"

Gongsun Xiu shook his head, looking confused: "Have the General of the Cheqi and Cavalry arrived in Guangling?"

Wei Xing knew that he was pretending. Even if he didn't know that Wei Ba had arrived in Guangling, he should have known that Wei Ba was on the way to Guangling, and the army of tens of thousands of people could not hide his whereabouts. Unless Gongsun Yuan and his son were indifferent to the crisis they were about to face, they would definitely guess what was going on. The father and son were as cunning as foxes and as greedy as wolfs. How could they not know anything? They were just pretending to behave.

"Guangling is indeed a little farther away, and it's normal for you to not know. However, if I can't bring back a result that satisfies General of the Cycling, I believe you will soon feel his presence."

Gongsun Xiu blinked: "Is General Cheqi and Cavalry ready to attack Liaodong?"

"The preparations for attacking Liaodong are not yet ready, but attacking Yingzhou is not difficult." Wei Xing looked at Gongsun Xiu with a smile, "If you are interested, you might as well prepare for the navy."

Gongsun Xiu said with a smile: "General of the chariots and cavalry have the most powerful warships in the world. How dare we fight with him? However, Yingzhou is part of Qingzhou. If you want to take Yingzhou, I am afraid that the Wei army will not let you succeed easily. On the sea, you will be the strongest of the Wei cavalry on the shore."

Wei Xing gently pointed his head and agreed. "Yes, our army will take Yingzhou, and the Wei army will definitely fight back with all its might. However, how many cavalry does the Wei army still have? While defending Luoyang, does he still have enough strength to support Yingzhou?"

He raised his hand and interrupted Gongsun Xiu who was about to refute: "To be honest with the prince, when I set out from Chengdu, my young master said that Lingzun is one of the rare heroes, but he is in a corner, and his eyes are short-short. If you don't give you a little bit of strength, you don't know who to listen to." He grinned: "So, if you take Yingzhou, you are not interested in the land, just to let you see if Cao Wei is powerful or we are stronger."
