Kong Rong's resignation made not only Sun Quan dumbfounded, but Guan Hai was also dumbfounded.
Isn't this too easy? Isn't it a scam? To be honest, Guan Hai fought many battles with the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans, because they were predators and their fists were not strong. It can be said that every battle they fought was a very difficult and tough battle. Guan Hai had never encountered I have been able to solve the problem without any bloodshed! If they had known this, shouldn't they have come to Beihai to collect protection fees?
Guan Hai looked at Sun Quan silently and said nothing, but Sun Quan knew that he was shaken. Sun Quan also had a headache about this. Not to mention how much Kong Rong's cowardly behavior was ridiculed by others, but it must be said that this was indeed a clever move. It was deeply rooted in the Confucian no-fight philosophy and directly pushed Sun Quan to the edge of the cliff. superior.
Today's Yellow Turbans are no longer the Yellow Turbans of the past. Their purpose in fighting is to plunder, not to overthrow the Han Dynasty and achieve hegemony. Now, Kong Rong will give you the food directly. The goal has been achieved, how many people are still willing to fight for it? The Qingzhou Yellow Turban is nothing but a piece of loose sand. Kong Rong sees it very accurately. His move can directly disintegrate the Qingzhou Yellow Turban. Even if Guan Hai is willing to continue to help Sun Quan for Fu Shui, other leaders may not be willing to continue fighting, unless, there is What a greater good. Once these leaders leave with their troops, only Guan Hai's people are left. Not to mention whether they can survive the constant battles, they may not be able to encircle Beihai alone.
What worries Sun Quan even more is the principle of killing the chicken to get the eggs. This time Kong Rong is willing to give food, and he will definitely be willing to give it next time. To other Yellow Turban leaders, Kong Rong is their chicken. You Guan Hai want to directly give him food this time. If the chicken is killed, others may stop Guan Hai! As we all know, the Han Dynasty is now in decline, and no princes will pay tribute to Chang'an. This makes the royal family very difficult, and at the same time, the princes are gradually getting richer. As long as the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans understand the current affairs and don't go too far, and Kong Rong takes out the grain that was originally supposed to be tribute to the royal family and sends it to the Yellow Turbans, Beihai can completely handle the situation.
"Master Sun, do you think we should collect this grain or not?" Seeing that Sun Quan still didn't speak, Guan Hai took the initiative and said.
Sun Quan's eyes flashed and he changed the subject and said,
"Isn't General Guan worried that Kong Rong is using tricks?"
Of course, this was entirely Sun Quan's deliberate attempt to cause trouble. Analyzing his motives, we also know that Kong Rong was not lying. Besides, this is not Guan Hai's first day fighting. He is also one of the few current Yellow Turban leaders who has read a book.
"Now we attack and Beihai defends. They don't even dare to open the city gate. I prefer them to fight out." Guan Hai said, "Whether there is any deception, be careful and you will know after giving it a try. Even if they send There are all the people hidden in the food, but only a few can be hidden, so we can’t make any big waves."
"What if the purpose of their deception is not to counterattack, but to send people out to ask for help?" Sun Quan said suddenly, but he thought of Taishi Ci.
Guan Hai lowered his head in thought and nodded seriously.
"It makes sense. I have to be concerned about this. I will send people to pay attention to their breakout."
With that said, Guan Hai raised his head again and looked at Sun Quan,
"So, what if what is sent is really food?" Guan Hai still focused on the key point, "Master Sun, although you and I are cooperating, you should also show some sincerity at this time, right? Otherwise, it will be beneficial If I don’t pick it up, it’s really hard for me to stick to it.”
On one side, there are real benefits, but on Sun Quan's side, it is just a blank check. Even with Guan Hai's ambition and foresight, he is definitely more inclined to Sun Quan, but now he has more confidence to negotiate.
"As long as Master Sun shows enough sincerity, I will convince my brothers and tell them that Kong Rong is definitely cheating and we reject Kong Rong's food delivery agreement."
"oh?"
Guan Hai never expected that his casual words would make Sun Quan's eyes light up, and he would find a breakthrough that he had never thought of beforehand.
After hearing Guan Hai's words, Sun Quan subconsciously wanted to refute: Your brothers are stupid, do you believe such words? Is it a lie? You can tell just by trying it, so there is no need to reject it so flatly?
As a result, such an extremely normal thought made Sun Quan suddenly think of something - these yellow scarf thieves might be really stupid!
Remember what Guan Hai said when he first arrived at the Yellow Turban garrison in Qingzhou? He said that the Yellow Turbans here have never read books, they don't understand any tactics, and they don't understand any big principles. Before, Sun Quan had always considered the problem with normal thinking. Now, Sun Quan finally realized that he was wrong.
Does everyone really understand the principle of killing the goose to obtain the eggs? If you retreat after taking the food, the Yellow Turban thieves will also talk to you about principles? Kong Rong lost because he, like Sun Quan just now, took the Yellow Turbans for granted. Just like before coming this time, how much did Sun Quan know about the real Yellow Turbans?
That's right, no one wants to die, and no one wants to fight. If they can avoid fighting, the Yellow Turban thieves also hope not to fight. But among the Yellow Turban thieves, there are many ruffians and scoundrels. You, Kong Rong, took the initiative to give in. In their eyes, you are an honest person who is easy to bully. Countless examples from later generations have proven that, honest people, the more you dare not resist, the more you will be bullied, and the number of times you will be bullied will increase. Bad people don’t feel like they’re getting too far, and they won’t just give up when they’re good!
"First take Kong Rong's food, and then continue the siege." Sun Quan said immediately, "If your brothers don't agree, I will convince them."
Hearing this, Guan Hai narrowed his eyes.
"Master Sun seems to know my brothers very well."
Sun Quan looked at Guan Hai and smiled,
"I don't know as much as General Guan."
Sun Quan had already figured it out. Guan Hai simply wanted to gain advantage from him. Today's problem was not a problem at all. Guan Hai deliberately created an atmosphere to make it seem like their plan would fail, forcing Sun Quan to compromise. This Guan Hai is quite shrewd! Or does it mean that he has someone guiding him behind his back?
Thinking of this, Sun Quan's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Li Ru was not dead?
No matter what, Sun Quan, who woke up in time, prevented Guan Hai's conspiracy from succeeding, and at the same time, it also made Sun Quan more careful and vigilant. While you are plotting against others, others may also be plotting against you.
······
soon,
Guan Hai, on behalf of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, agreed to Kong Rong's request. To show his sincerity, Kong Rong quickly collected enough food. He opened the city gate that day and sent a few soldiers to escort the food out.
When they reached a safe distance accepted by both sides, the soldiers put down the food and quickly ran back to Beihai, and the Beihai city gate was closed again. Seeing this, Guan Haiyang calmly sent someone to collect the goods. Because of Sun Quan's reminder, the Yellow Turban Army deliberately checked to see if anyone was hiding in the food. After confirming that it was correct, they happily transported the food. Come back.
Seeing this, everyone in the Yellow Turbans raised their arms and shouted, enjoying their "easy" victory.
At the same time, Kong Rong, who had been nervously watching the situation below on the Beihai City Wall, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"I hope they leave this time and don't come back too soon." Kong Rong said with some worry. He was afraid that these thieves would continue to harass them. They couldn't stand it, kept compromising, and couldn't live with their face. More importantly, Yes, the Yellow Turban thieves often come to harass, and the people are frightened and unable to live and work in peace and contentment. The people of Beihai are unstable, and the pressure of Kong Rong's rule will also increase. If external troubles are not eliminated and internal troubles arise again, it will be troublesome.
