Chapter 822 The So-called Covenant
"Meeting the League, interesting." Zhang Yu in Hefei City also received the news.
"Okay, the alliance will be held near the intersection of the three parties, and the time is set to be five days later." After Zhang Yu received the message, he could send the soldiers to deliver the message.
This is interesting. After reading Sun Ce's proposal, Zhang Yu decided on the time and place, and immediately wanted to seize the initiative.
Zhang Yu's action can be said to be very domineering.
Strength determines everything, with strength, everything is easy to say.
The most important thing is strength. I have strength. What can you do to me?
When Sun Ce and Cao Ang received the news, they were also very helpless. At present, it seems that the strengths of the three parties are actually similar, but the advantages accumulated by Zhang Yu are also very obvious.
The three parties made an agreement, but Sun Ce and Cao Ang kept communicating, obviously discussing something.
Zhang Yu didn't care, and didn't even pay attention to what they wanted to do.
Zhang Yu didn't care, they could do whatever they wanted, and he just had to ensure that his strategy didn't change.
Zhang Yu has been staying in Hefei City, but what he is concerned about is no longer here.
Zhang Yu is concerned about the upcoming imperial examinations.
According to Zhang Zhao's news, everything has been prepared, and it is guaranteed that there will be no accidents.
Speaking of Yuan Shu, he is also having a difficult time. A lot of troops have fled, and his soldiers have been reducing the number of soldiers.
Yuan Shu fled for a few days. Although Cao Ang did not continue to pursue him, his condition was still not very good.
On the third day, Guan Yu suddenly came out with [-] troops and killed them.
It turned out that Cao Cao was worried about Cao Ang's safety. After all, Zhang Yu was still on the battlefield, so he sent Guan Yu to support him.
When he knew that Cao Ang had given up his pursuit, he ordered Guan Yu to attack Yuan Shu, intending to kill Yuan Shu.
Although he failed to kill Yuan Shu, it also caused Yuan Shu a heavy loss.
A few days later, Yuan Shao responded to Yuan Shu, but Yuan Shu's condition was very bad.
There were only 11 troops left, and many officials were lost.
When Yuan Shao knew that Yuxi had been robbed, he was furious immediately.
He accepted Yuan Shuyi for the sake of saving face and preventing Yuan's core members from being killed by others, but the most important thing was to get Yuxi.
In the end, the jade seal was gone, so of course Yuan Shao couldn't give Yuan Shu a good look.
Yuan Shao failed to forcefully take over Yuan Shu's army, after all an army of 10,000+.
However, Yuan Shu's glory is no longer there, and part of the army can be retained, but there are already many restrictions, and it is certain that it will be dismembered slowly.
With an army of 10,000+, Yuan Shu doesn't have much negotiating power, so he can only listen to Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shu's fate is not destined to be very good, the most likely is to lose power in Jizhou, and then die of old age as a rich man.
This time and space has changed, Sun Ce is alive, Cao Ang is alive, and now even Yuan Shu is not dead.
Zhang Yu didn't care too much about these things. He planned to return to Jiangdong after meeting the alliance and preside over the imperial examination.
Zhang Yu has already arranged things in Hefei, and he can go back directly after the alliance.
The day before the alliance was agreed, Zhang Yu set off with an army of 3. It was agreed that each would bring [-] troops.
Thirty thousand is [-], and it is not enough to bring more, because there are scouts from the three parties around here, and they will not attack these scouts at this time. Once the scouts lose contact, they will definitely retreat immediately.
Zhang Yu considered several possibilities on the way. He already knew that Sun Ce and Cao Ang would definitely join forces to suppress him.
But it doesn't matter. In the short term, Zhang Yu is not seeking a breakthrough in this direction. At this time, there is nothing more important than the imperial examination.
On the same day, Zhang Yu and the others arrived at the meeting place.
The three parties camped five miles apart, and then each sent people to Huimeng.
Zhang Yu took Dian Wei and [-] guards to go. Similarly, Sun Ce and Cao Ang could each bring a general and [-] soldiers.
The three parties met at the agreed time and place.
"You two, long time no see, you're more of a hero." Zhang Yu said casually as he sat on the horse without a weapon.
Sun Ce wore armor and was dressed as a general, while Cao Ang wore a robe and was dressed as a scribe.
Both of them exchanged a few polite words.
"In this battle, our three parties cooperated to drive away the Yuan Shu rebels. It's really satisfying." Zhang Yu said.
Both Cao Ang and Sun Ce looked a little unnatural. Although the three parties cooperated in this battle, they didn't cooperate much.
In their view, Zhang Yu has the most benefits.
He surrendered Lu Bu's army, but of course they didn't know his agreement with Lu Bu.
Another thing is that Zhang Yu seized the Jade Seal of Chuanguo.
The Chuanguo Yuxi is a symbol, which can gather popularity and influence some people at a certain time.
Sun Ce didn't want to continue listening to Zhang Yu's nonsense. In his opinion, Zhang Yu was showing off on purpose.
"You two, the most important thing about our alliance this time is to establish an alliance, maintain stability, and restore peace to the world." Sun Ce said.
Cao Ang immediately nodded in agreement.
Zhang Yu waved his hand indifferently, and asked Sun Ce to continue talking.
"Okay, then I'll get straight to the point." Sun Ce adjusted his posture and said, "Continuing wars, the people suffer unspeakably, and each of us defends one of the three sides. Sun boldly proposed that we form an offensive and defensive alliance. No matter who attacks any of our sides, Other people can jointly attack each other to ensure the stability of our tripartite."
After Sun Ce finished speaking, Zhang Yu directly denied it, and then said: "I take care of my own affairs. If Yuan Shao attacks Cao Cao, will I still have to send troops to help? It's impossible."
Sun Ce looked clear, but Cao Ang didn't care, because the proposal was nonsense.
Sun Ce pretended to think for a while and said, "That makes sense, but stability is too important to the common people. We may not be able to do too many things, but we can do what we can."
"In this Jiangdong area, in Yangzhou, if they attack each other, it will be a catastrophe for the common people."
Sun Ce went on to say, "Therefore, I propose that the three of us should not attack each other. Once someone starts a war, the other two can join forces to stop the war."
Cao Ang immediately said: "I agree, the people cannot continue to suffer, and I, Shouchun's 20 Cao army, have the obligation to ensure the stability of Yangzhou."
Zhang Yu understood that the two were colluding to put pressure on Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu said indifferently: "The proposal is good."
"Okay, since you both agree, why don't we sign a covenant on this?" Sun Ce said.
Cao Ang immediately agreed.
Zhang Yu still looked indifferent, things like covenants were meant to be torn up.
"Whatever, but what if one side attacks both sides at the same time?" Zhang Yu said.
Sun Ce and Cao Ang choked, Zhang Yu was threatening them with Thorn Fruit.
"Haha, sign the covenant, sign the covenant, and then tell the world." Zhang Yu laughed again.
It was obvious that the two of them were getting along, but Zhang Yu didn't care.
Of course, Sun Ce and Cao Ang also knew that this kind of covenant was useless, but they just wanted to tell Zhang Yu in front of Zhang Yu that they were already united, and you should be careful when attacking.
