Chapter 246: Cooking Wine on Heroes
Cao Mengde looked drunk, but his tone seemed very clear.
What exactly does his words mean?
"You are a wise military commander and a wise local administrator." I raised my wine glass: "You are still a reliable friend."
Cao Mengde laughed loudly, and put the wine glass on his lips, but he was not in a hurry to drink it.
"So, which one is better, Yuan Benchu or me?"
I put down my wine glass and said, "Although Yuan Benchu has the strongest family among the princes, he is arrogant, respectful, and too protective of his useless brother Yuan Shu. Even if he grows up in the future, he will definitely not be as good as you."
"Although Yuan Benchu and I have fought side by side, over time, I realized that Yuan Benchu is really a... trash." Cao Mengde put the wine glass back on the table and pointed at me with his finger: "You are many times better than him, and the two brothers are not as good as you together."
"Hahaha! Meng De, you said too much... Although I love listening to it very much! Come on, I will toast you!" I took the wooden spoon and filled him with wine.
"I'm not kidding." Cao Mengde's tone was very serious, and the alcohol in his eyes disappeared: "In terms of military command, Yuan Benchu had received education from the orthodox military school, which is definitely not to say. But in other aspects, he was too influenced by his greedy brother. The two brothers are now more greedy than they can see. Do you know Li Ru, why did Li Su tear open their defense so easily?"
"Isn't it because the space warship is too powerful?"
"No, it's because these two brothers expanded their power to the south and tried to occupy Jiangdong's territory."
"Jiangdong?" I was surprised. Isn't that the Yuan family's power?! Yuan Benchu and Yuan Shu are going to officially start a war with the Yuan family?!
"They did not officially start the war, but adopted a little conspiracy." Cao Mengde took out a military briefing and handed it to me, "Yuan Benchu first asked Liu Biao to block Sun Jian's troops before he returned to Jiangdong territory. The key is to take down the important item - the jade seal."
"What's the purpose of the jade seal? Why is Yuan Benchu so anxious to leave the jade seal?" I touched my chin: "I remember that even Sun Jian left after getting the jade seal, and he didn't even stop... There must be some reason here, right?"
"Of course!" Cao Mengde put down his glass and his eyes shone: "Do you know, who was the early founder of Chang'an?"
"I have no idea."
"It was the first patron saint - Liu Bang. At that time, there were three great sages, namely the patron saint Liu Bang, the genius scholar Zhang Liang, and the night knight Han Xin. These three gathered their strength and united the knowledgeable people at that time to establish the earliest Chang'an. At that time, Chang'an was not as able to float like it is now, but it was also an indestructible fortress. It is said that Liu Bang hid a key to open the "Ultimate Secret" in the items he used and left it in Chang'an. What is this "Ultimate Secret"? There are many different opinions. Some say it was the weapon he used at that time - Chi Xiao, some say it was a secret weapon he opened with the other two sages, and some say it was a treasure that he had never disclosed before, and some say it was a treasure that was recaptured from his opponent, "Overlord" Xiang Yu... But no matter which one was, it was enough to attract the greed of the whole world." Cao Mengde and his wife and his wife and his wife were both.
I poured a glass of wine and continued: "The items that Liu Bang used during his lifetime were actually relatively limited. The seal he used was a jade seal. After Liu Bang passed away, it was passed on to the speaker of the Chang'an Parliament. The transfer of power was represented. Therefore, the jade seal was also called the imperial seal. In addition to the imperial seal, his weapon, Chi Xiao, was missing, and his property was also scattered to various descendants of the Liu family. Liu did not produce any talented people later. He said that wealth was only three, and those property has almost been defeated. There was a legend before that - it is said that Liu Bang left his last words before his death. If the descendants of Liu were bullied, they could use his relics to find the wealth he left behind, so that Liu family could make a comeback. But this is all unofficial history. There is Liu Bang's suicide note in the Chang'an Archives, and there is no such record on it."
"It turns out to be unofficial history, but the Yuan family and the Sun family really started fighting for the imperial seal."
"The Yuan family is too greedy. If the imperial seal falls into the hands of others, it will really open the ultimate secret treasure. For the Yuan family, it will become a competitor to dominate the world. This is something that Yuan Benchu and Yuan Shu cannot allow. In the eyes of the two of them, the only one of the two brothers can dominate the world in the future will be one of the two brothers."
"This is too greedy!"
"As for the Sun family... I don't know whether you understand the history of the Sun family. His ancestors were actually the Great Navigator, full of adventure. There are dozens of Navigators in the Sun family's family genealogy! The blood of the Sun family burns the adventure soul! His family members, each generation will produce one or two famous explorers. How could they miss the treasure information such as the ultimate secret? "
I remembered the first meeting with Sun Shangxiang and Sun Zhongmou. They dared to go deep into the research institute occupied by the Yellow Turban Army and seize the star mast ore. They did carry some shadows of young explorers on their bodies.
Cao Mengde poured another glass of wine: "Although this guy Liu Biao is a talented guy, it's a pity that he's all fools in his stomach. Yuan Benchu and Yuan Shu asked him to block the Sun family, but he actually took action. It doesn't matter if this move is not important. Huang Zu, the general under his command, actually killed Sun Zhongmou's father Sun Jian in one fell swoop!"
"What?! Sun Jian is dead?!" I jumped up in shock.
Cao Mengde pressed me back to the chair: "It's been last month. Shortly after Sun Jian left the Alliance of the Princes, he was ambushed by Huang Zu. Sun Jian was still a businessman from the bottom of his bones, and he didn't know so many military tricks. Huang Zu was a man who was good at using tricks, and almost didn't even leave his entire body for the Sun family. Sun Jian was very pitiful, and he died in his forties..."
"Who is the Sun family now?"
"It is said that Sun Jian's eldest son Sun Ce, and the other children are too young. Sun Zhongmou is cowardly. Although Sun Shangxiang is very brave, it's a pity that she is a girl... I am not discriminating against women, but the elders of the Sun family seem to be optimistic about female heirs, so Sun Ce was given the status of heirs of the Sun Group. Now he has officially begun to lead the Sun family army."
"I guess, the next step for the Sun family is to avenge Sun Jian?"
"No, they were not in a hurry to take revenge. Sun Ce was very tolerant. He called on the Sun Group and Liu Biao to put aside their wars first and temporarily sign a peace agreement - after all, Liu Biao and Huang Zu were just on orders. The real person who ordered was Yuan Benchu!"
"Will Sun Ce go to deal with Yuan Benchu?"
"I don't know this. According to the information I have received now, Sun Ce has been busy recruiting troops and building new weapons recently. The Sun Group has been damaged in recent wars and does need to be reorganized. In addition, Sun Ce has also established a successor for himself. He declared to the public that if he encounters misfortune one day, all the command power of the Sun Group will be handed over to the successor. Guess who is that successor?"
"Is it possible... it's Sun Zhongmou?!"
Cao Mengde nodded: "It's him!"
