Chapter 293

If he could win Sun Sun Jian's favor, perhaps he could make Sun Sun Jian surrender to him again, or even offer the Imperial Jade Seal to him directly?

Of course, in Lord Yuan Shu's heart, it would be best if Sun Sun Jian died.

But Sun Sun Jian's eldest son, Sun Ce, had even more talent in dance (martial arts) than his father, and Lord Yuan Shu had long been envious.

If Sun Sun Jian died, he could win over Sun Ce by relying on the kindness of revealing the news and the friendship of the former master, and gain his allegiance.

By then, the Jade Seal would be his, and the various generals and troops under Sun Sun Jian would also be his.

How good would that be?

It was simply a four-win situation.

Yeah! He wins four times alone.

Not only did he deal with, strike, and use Lord Yuan Shao, but he also eliminated Sun Sun Jian, recruited Sun Sun Jian's generals and troops, and was able to obtain the Imperial Jade Seal.

"I am simply a genius~!"

Lord Yuan Shu thought happily in his heart.

"That's true!"

Lord Yuan Shao nodded affirmatively: "Then let's do as you say! Will you send the letter to Liu Biao, or should I?"

Lord Yuan Shao certainly hoped to do it himself.

In this way, he could take the opportunity to befriend Liu Biao for future use.

"You do it!"

Lord Yuan Shu replied without hesitation: "My relationship with Liu Biao is very average, and he might not look up to me!"

"Plus, I also have designs on Yangzhou, and my relationship with him is not harmonious, so we will definitely become great enemies in the future;"

"Liu Biao must also be aware of this;"

"If I really send him a message, it might ruin things."

This was not a lie.

"Hmm! Then I'll do it!"

Lord Yuan Shao naturally understood that what Lord Yuan Shu said was true, and immediately agreed with a smile.

Lord Yuan Shu saw this and also smiled faintly, thinking: "You, Lord Yuan Shao, are actually no smarter than me! Look, you took the bait so easily, you fool! Heh!"

Su Xuan, Cao Cao, and their party, under the escort of Xu Chu and others, left the palace ruins after leaving the hall.

Then, Su Xuan looked at Cao Cao: "Brother Mengde! I am preparing to return to Nanyang, what about you? What are your plans?"

Cao Cao looked to the west and sighed: "Alas! Although I was prepared in my heart, I didn't expect that this campaign against Dong would end so hastily!"

"I didn't even get to see the Son of Heaven;"

"Thinking about it, there is almost no chance to rescue the Son of Heaven next! I should live for myself and my family from now on!"

"Therefore, I plan to go to Yanzhou first, and I will likely develop in Yanzhou in the future!"

"I don't know when we will meet again! And what our positions will be."

"I only hope that the day you and I stand on opposite sides will not come so soon."

Although he didn't want to be enemies with Su Xuan, he knew that this day would come sooner or later.

It couldn't be changed.

Unless he was willing to give up the idea of fighting for hegemony and surrender directly to Su Xuan.

But this obviously didn't fit the ambition in Cao Cao's heart.

He also wanted to fight for this world!

"Haha! Let's hope so!"

Su Xuan laughed loudly, reached out and patted Cao Cao on the shoulder: "Take care!"

"Hmm! You too!"

Cao Cao nodded.

"Brother Mengde! Brother Su Boyuan! Wait a moment, shall we go together?"

At this time, Sun Sun Jian walked over quickly, saw the two, his eyes lit up slightly, and he shouted.

Mainly, he was worried that he would still be unsafe alone.

After all, the troops he had were not many, only over ten thousand.

Among them, many were those he had surrendered and reorganized earlier.

And the troops in the hands of the Lord Yuan brothers added up to at least seventy or eighty thousand.

Plus those warlords who were just Lord Yuan brothers' followers.

Although he had already left the palace, as long as he was not far from the vortex of Luoyang and even Hulao Pass, Sun Sun Jian dared not relax for a moment.

If he could pull Su Xuan and Cao Cao to go together, the safety would be much higher.

"Oh? Is it Brother Wentai?"

Cao Cao and Su Xuan heard the shouting, turned their heads, and saw Sun Sun Jian walking over quickly.

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking: "It seems this Sun Sun Jian really got the Imperial Jade Seal! Otherwise, he wouldn't be so nervous and careful!"

"Being like this now is clearly a guilty conscience!"

"What a pity! A generation of fierce tigers in Jiangdong, actually ending up like this for a stone, it's quite worthless!"

Cao Cao knew very well that since Sun Sun Jian got the Imperial Jade Seal and was targeted by Lord Yuan Shao and Lord Yuan Shu.

Then even if Sun Sun Jian left Luoyang safely this time, Lord Yuan Shao and Lord Yuan Shu would not let it go afterward.

There would definitely be follow-up means waiting for Sun Sun Jian.

Sun Sun Jian's future situation could already be imagined, and it would definitely not be good.

If he wasn't careful, death was also possible.

In order to fight for the world, the Lord Yuan family had prepared too, too much.

They would absolutely not allow anyone to threaten them.

Therefore, although Cao Cao also had the idea of fighting for hegemony, he didn't plan to stand out quickly next. Instead, he prepared to find ways to continue to hook up with Lord Yuan Shao, and superficially rely on Lord Yuan Shao to rapidly develop his own forces.

When he couldn't rely on him anymore, or when his own strength was sufficient, he would turn around and swallow Lord Yuan Shao in one bite.

Su Xuan quietly activated his Eye of Destiny to look at the top of Sun Sun Jian's head.

Immediately, he saw Sun Sun Jian and the towering pillar of destiny covered by the backlash of destiny and the aura of disaster, as if dark clouds were covering the top.

Su Xuan's mouth curled up slightly, thinking: "As expected, it all worked! It seems that the secret technique I researched and created, as well as the fake Imperial Jade Seal I forged, successfully transferred the follow-up moves and hidden dangers in the real Imperial Jade Seal to this fake Imperial Jade Seal!"

"In this way, I can safely collect and use the real Imperial Jade Seal;"

"My way of destiny and the method of the fortune dynasty should be possible to complete this time!"

He had been waiting for this for a long time.

"Brother Wentai is willing to go together, we naturally don't mind! Then let's go together!"

Cao Cao said with a smile.

Anyway, there was no need to offend Sun Sun Jian for the time being, and doing a favor was also good.

Su Xuan said: "I plan to go through Yique Pass to return to Jingzhou, so we can only go together until we leave the city!"

"However, Brother Wentai, considering our past friendship of fighting the Yellow Turban thieves together, I still want to give you a piece of advice;"

"If you really got the Imperial Jade Seal, it's best not to keep it in your hands!"

"Otherwise, there will definitely be a great disaster!"

Saying this, seeing Sun Sun Jian's face darken, he was about to refute.

Su Xuan continued: "Of course, whether you have it or not, whether you listen or not is up to you! I'm just saying something deep despite our shallow acquaintance."

At this time, Cao Cao on the side also said: "What Su Boyuan said is actually correct! Brother Wentai, why bother offending the Lord Yuan brothers for a stone?"

"They are powerful now, and there is no benefit in offending them!"

Sun Sun Jian heard this, and only then slightly restrained his calm face, and bowed slightly to Su Xuan: "... have kept your words in mind! Thank you for your concern!"

"However, I really didn't get any Imperial Jade Seal. This is all just Lord Yuan Shu and the others wanting to harm me."

"You also know that when attacking Sishui Pass, Lord Yuan Shu and even Lord Yuan Shao had intended to plot against me once, causing me to lose troops and generals!"

"We have long been unable to coexist peacefully;"

"Plus the current framing, it is even more so!"

"However, thank you for your concern and advice."

"Hmm!"

Cao Cao and Su Xuan heard this and didn't say anything more.

They directly called Sun Sun Jian to go together, first returned to their respective barracks, and then arrived at the East Gate to meet up.
