After hearing Liu Bei's words, Sun Ce sneered in his heart, saying that you, Liu Xuande, just want me to unite with you, and then deal with Cao Mengde's Yanzhou Army and Ma Mengqi's Liangzhou Army. That's all.

But Sun Ce still asked, "So what is Xuande Gong's intention?"

When Liu Bei heard Sun Ce's words, he sighed directly, "The so-called 'a tree alone can't make a forest'. Although Bei wanted to fight against Cao Mengde and Ma Mengqi, he did not have that strength!"

However, after hearing Liu Bei's words, Sun Ce was pretending to be stupid. Of course, he knew what Liu Bei meant, and even more so he knew what he was going to do. He just wanted to take the initiative to say what he wanted to help him. However, although the two sides have formed an alliance, he has no obligation, so he must help him with everything Liu Bei and Liu Xuande.

Seeing that Sun Ce had no reaction, Liu Bei knew in his heart that he knew everything about Sun Bofu, and he would not fall into his trap easily, so he had to think of his method.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Liu Bei said again, "General Sun, now you and me have formed an alliance."

Sun Ce responded again this time, "Yes, what does Xuande Gong mean?"

"What Bei means is that instead of both you and me, each side is unable to deal with either Cao Mengde and Ma Mengqi, it is better for you and me to unite in one place. The so-called unity of troops and fight against the enemy together. Is General Sun so good?"

Sun Ce sneered even more, thinking that you, Liu Xuande, finally said this, united? OK, but if you want me, Sun Bofu, to agree easily, then you have to show some sincerity. But just by touching your lips like this, I, Sun Bofu, can I agree to you? Is this possible? Sun Bofu is not that stupid yet!

Sun Ce never forgot what Zhou Yu said to him, so he remembered it clearly. It depends on Liu Bei saying this, and he wanted to get benefits from him. Of course, Sun Ce was indeed confident in this, unless Liu Xuande didn't want to join forces with his side, otherwise he would have to compromise. The so-called "people have to bow their heads under the roof", isn't that the case?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sun Ce said to Liu Bei at this time, "This, okay, okay?"

When Liu Bei heard Sun Ce say the first word "good", he was really overjoyed. But after listening to the second word "good", he almost fell down. What is good, good? Sun Bofu clearly wanted to say bad. bad!

At this moment, Liu Bei also knew that the so-called "no profit, no early rise" and that Sun Bofu would do something without benefits. If he had to say that he could not bring him into a trap with his own ability, he could only beg him to agree to this matter. As for what benefits he wanted, it depends on what Sun Bofu wanted. But the premise must be within his ability, otherwise he would not have it, so what else would he talk about?

So Liu Bei asked Sun Ce at this time, "General Sun disagrees? As long as the general agrees to do this, what are the conditions? Even if he proposes it, as long as Bei can do it, he will definitely not refuse!"

When Sun Ce heard this, he said, "What I want is your Liu Xuande's words. Why should I do anything that is beneficial? Of course, even if you do it, you have to give me some benefits."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

However, although it was an idea in my heart, Sun Ce could not say anything at all. His expression could not express anything.

So he sank his face and said, "Where is Duke Xuande coming from? You and I have formed an alliance, so we should help each other, so we are indeed a bit dissatisfied!"

When Liu Bei heard this, he thought that if he believed in your Sun Bofu's words, he would be really stupid. Fortunately, he would not believe what you said.

"Ce naturally would not be polite with Xuande Gong. It's just that our army is fighting with Liangzhou Army in Jiangxia, so can Xuande Gong..."

When Liu Bei heard this, he thought to himself that it was indeed your Sun Bofu, who was more cunning. You said that your Jiangdong Army and his troops were fighting against the Liangzhou Army in Jiangxia. What you mean was nothing more than asking the two sides to join forces and go to Jiangxia first to help you seize the city, and then go to Xiangyang I want to go to. Isn’t that the case?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At this time, Liu Bei secretly looked at his adviser, Xu Shu. Xu Shu nodded slightly, which meant to let his lord agree. Others didn't know, so Xu Shu knew that if he wanted Sun Ce to agree, he had to give them enough benefits, otherwise why would he agree to your proposal? Of course, what you said was also beneficial to their Jiangdong Army, but whoever made others stronger than his side, so the compromise could only be one's compromise, not others.

In the world, especially in this chaotic world, whoever has a big fist is really strong, and whoever has a good reputation makes sense. Even if it is wrong, it is still right. Otherwise, you dare to say a typo. The strength determines whether you speak tough or not. Now that you are stronger than the Jiangdong Army today, the positions of both sides may have to be changed.

Liu Bei nodded to Sun Ce, "General Sun understands his intention. Bei once again promised that as long as the General Jiangdong Army and our army were united, the coalition forces on both sides would first go to Jiangxia to resolve the war in Jiangxia, and then go to Xiangyang, Nanjun. What do you think is this?"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If Liu Bei really had to compromise at this time, for him, it had to be like this, or else you could do anything else. If you want Sun Ce to join forces with his own army, you must let others see the benefits and give them benefits, so that they can take action, or they can take care of you. Liu Bei also had to admit that he was a little bit simpler in his opinion. Fortunately, he reacted quite quickly, or he might have lost more.

Now that he has compromised himself, the first stop of the two armies is Jiangxia. Of course, where to go first, it will benefit whoever is more. The two sides join forces once and go to Jiangxia first. Then of course there are many benefits for Sun Ce's Jiangdong Army. When he goes from Jiangxia to Xiangyang, he doesn't know how many more troops there will be. Liu Bei still thinks that the coalition forces of both sides can really win, and can they really go to Xiangyang? This is really not necessarily the case.

Sun Ce was still satisfied with Liu Bei's statement. After all, Liu Bei had already realized that he wanted to get himself into a trap, which was really a daydream. So since you are not deceived by you, Liu Xuande, then you, Liu Xuande, have to compromise with yourself. Who made you stronger than you? So now you can see what you are like.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sun Ce nodded. "Okay, since Duke Xuande is so sincere, if Ce does not agree, then he will be ashamed of the two sides' unity!"

In fact, before Sun Ce agreed, he also looked at Zhou Yu, and Zhou Yu's meaning was very obvious, so naturally he agreed. Of course, it was necessary to agree to something that was so good for him, so Sun Ce said so immediately.

When Liu Bei heard this, he looked happy on the surface, but in fact he scolded Sun Ce in his heart. He thought to himself, why didn’t you say that before? Ah, seeing that you gave you good things, you immediately became like this. Alas. They are all strength, and they are not as strong as others, so they can only be led by someone.

If Liu Bei knew this well, his side was not as good as the Jiangdong Army. How could he have to look at his Sun Bofu's expression? Is it so?

Therefore, Liu Bei strengthened his belief that although he was a prince, he must be the stronger prince, but he is not like this now.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

But Liu Bei still said, "Okay, General Sun is so wise that he is quite as good as his father at the time!"

When Sun Ce heard this, he also remembered his father Sun Jian. He also knew that although Liu Bei was not very familiar with his father, he had met several times and said a few words.

In fact, although Liu Bei said this, he said in his heart that Sun Ce and Sun Bofu were definitely "better than the blue". He was more powerful than his father Sun Jian and Sun Wentai, and he was definitely a character. Unfortunately, Sun Ce didn't know Liu Bei's evaluation of him, or he didn't know what he would think.

When it comes to Liu Bei's view of people, he is indeed very accurate. He believes that the person's ability is basically not much different, so he is indeed aware of people and can make people full of their talents.

As for Sun Ce, he quickly said a few humble words, just saying that he was not as good as his father. After all, Sun Ce still admired his father Sun Jian very much. At least Sun Jian was not as good as his father.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Then Liu Bei and Sun Ce chatted a lot again, and their subordinates also chatted for a few words. In the end, Liu Bei held a banquet to invite Sun Ce and his group. Don’t think they were in the mountains, but Liu Bei brought a lot of things from Quanling, and there was something delicious here, so it was more than enough to host a banquet to entertain Sun Ce and the others, without any problem.

Because these are all what Liu Bei expected. If you ask someone to come to Jiuyi Mountain, you have to hold a banquet for others. So if you are not prepared, it will definitely not work.

At the banquet, Liu Bei specially gave Sun Ce a first wine. After all, the person was able to agree to join forces, which really made his idea come true. Even though what Sun Ce said was to go to Jiangxia first, even so, Liu Bei accepted it, otherwise what else could it be.

"General Sun, please!"

"Duke Xuande, please!"

The two of them had all the wine, and the banquet was finally a joyful meal. After all, it was not easy to be in Jingzhou now in such a chaotic place. Although they were both fighting for their own side and trying to win benefits for their side, they had to say that the two sides are now cooperating, uniting, and then...
