Wei Teng smiled reservedly, bowed back, said a few humble words, and then asked about Chen Deng's family background.

The Chen family in Xia Pi is famous, with a family background of 2,000 stones, but Chen Deng himself is very young and has no reputation yet. The newly lost prefect of Lujiang and the newly obtained governor of Yangzhou were not formally appointed by the imperial court. He was somewhat guilty. What's more, he attracted Lujiang's lessons and wanted to establish a good relationship with the Yangzhou family. He naturally had to be humble in front of Wei Teng. He later claimed that he explained the current predicament in detail and asked Wei Teng for advice.

Wei Teng was surprised, and his eyes looked at Chen Deng with a little suspicious. Is this kid okay? He held five or six thousand people in his hand. He watched Zhou Xin wait for help in Niuzhuji, but he did not dare to attack. However, the village party Zhou Xin was not much better, so he was embarrassed to say that Chen Deng was too.

"Is Sun Ce good at fighting, or is Zulang just famous and twice the strength of his troops, and he will be defeated in one fell swoop?"

Chen Deng could hear Wei Teng’s suspicion of him, but he could only pretend not to understand. He was sincere. "Mr. Wei didn’t know anything. Sun Jian started his career in the army and fought for nearly twenty years. He won more than lose less. Sun Ce was young and had talented. He made a big splash as soon as he debuted. Last year, he wiped out 20,000 elite Xiliang soldiers in Nanyang. This year, he fought with Yuan Yanzhou, and was cunning and resourceful, which was extremely difficult to deal with. Zulang’s troops were all bandits, with uneven formations, poor training, and incomplete armor and rods, and it was inevitable that he would be defeated."

Wei Teng stroked his beard and walked two steps back and forth. "What are the plans?"

Chen Deng felt nervous. He had already explained the situation to Wei Teng and told Chen Wen that he was about to die of illness and had handed over the seal of the Yangzhou governor to him. Wei Teng called him his best, obviously he refused to recognize him as the governor of Yangzhou. After a moment of thinking, he understood what Wei Teng meant. He was doubting his ability and refused to express his support. He was also from a noble family and knew the ideas of the noble family too well. Of course morality is necessary, but interests cannot be ignored. No one would support an incompetent person, and he would only bring disaster.

Chen Deng smiled helplessly. "Mr. Wei didn't know anything. He was young and ignorant and did not know the military. He was just the leader of the alliance and did not dare to refuse. He rescued Chen Yangzhou by chance, and was loved by him and asked him to take the responsibility of Yangzhou. He didn't dare to accept it. He thought that the leader of the alliance was in Hebei, so I had to make trouble. The most urgent task was to appease Sun Ce and accept Zhou Fujun to break through the siege, so as not to suffer too much. Zhou Fujun is a famous scholar in Kuaiji, and his brothers are trusted by the leader of the alliance. He served in Danyang for a long time and was very popular with the people. He stabilized Danyang and Jiangdong was safe. With his best support, Sun Ce did not dare to be too presumptuous in Kuaiji, and I could fulfill the expectations of the leader."

Wei Teng's eyebrows trembled slightly, and he looked at Chen Deng again, showing a knowing smile. Everyone is smart, and he knows it to this extent. Although Chen Deng is young, he is standing behind him. Judging from his rescue of Chen Wen, he is still a little capable, at least stronger than the Zhou brothers. With their support and cooperation, it is possible to delay Sun Ce and buy time for Yuan Shao.

Wei Teng thought for a while and said, "I'll go and meet Sun Ce to see if I can turn swords into jade. Think of a way to boost morale. If the negotiation fails, I can only attack and first respond to Zhou Taiming to escape."

Chen Deng bowed and bowed. "Mr. Wei is a famous scholar in Kuaiji. Since Sun Ce was the prefect of Kuaiji, he must rely on Mr. Wei. Mr. Wei will definitely succeed in his journey. I will wait for Mr. Wei here for the good news."

Wei Teng sighed softly: "If this can be done, everyone will naturally be happy. I am afraid that Sun Ce will be young and do not know the importance of it. The envoy should be prepared for a strong attack and be prepared for any trouble, so as not to be set up by Sun Ce."

"Here."

——

Wei Teng bid farewell to Chen Deng and drove straight to Niuzhuji, hoping to meet Zhou Xin and learn about the situation, but he was stopped by Cheng Pu. When he learned that Wei Teng was a famous scholar in Kuaiji, Cheng Pu was very polite, but he refused to let Wei Teng go to Niuzhuji. Instead, he sent someone to escort Wei Teng to Sun Ce's camp. Wei Teng was very angry, but he had no choice but to follow the situation and come to Sun Ce's camp.

Sun Ce had just gotten up. He had not had a sleep all night, and he slept very well and didn't even have a dream. He heard that Cheng Pu had sent a famous Kuaiji scholar, and he was surprised. He asked Guo Jia to go out to receive him first and find out the details of this person.

Guo Jia took the order and came outside the camp gate and saw Wei Teng. Wei Teng was sitting in a car, wearing a Jinxian crown, a Confucian shirt, and his waist was straight, like a tablet. He had a round face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and was serious. Guo Jia walked up and bowed his hand.

"I met Mr. Wei. Guo Jia, in Xiayingchuan, whose courtesy name was Fengxiao, was Buqi of General Mengsun, and he was planning a sacrifice for the army."

When Guo Jia looked at Wei Teng, Wei Teng was also looking at Guo Jia. Although Guo Jia was wearing a Confucian shirt, he walked with one step and looked around, and spoke with a bit frivolous. However, he was from Yingchuan and his surname was Guo, and probably the same clan as Guo Tu around Yuan Shao, so he should not be too contemptuous.

Wei Teng bowed back. "Can the general be in the camp?"

"The general defeated Zulang yesterday and did not sleep all night, and is still resting now." Seeing that Wei Teng had no intention of getting out of the car, Guo Jia straightened his waist and said with a smile: "You are from Kuaiji, or are you a guest in Danyang? The military service is busy, and the general may not have time to entertain guests. If there is no urgent matter, please ask you to go back first. After this matter, the general will come back and listen to the teachings in person."

Wei Teng was very unhappy. "I heard that General Sun was in the bicy county and I came to see him, but General Sun stayed behind closed doors? Do you dare to ask if this is General Sun's meaning, or is it your own decision?"

Guo Jia laughed. "Mr. Wei hasn't answered my question yet."

Wei Teng was furious and shouted, "Since that's the case, then it's gone. Go back."

The coachman shouted, shook his whip, and turned the carriage. Guo Jia did not stop him, and let him go to the side, watched Wei Teng drive away, and staggered back to the camp with his hands behind his back. Although Wei Teng did not answer his question, he already knew the answer. Wei Teng came from Shicheng, at least passed by Shicheng and met Chen Deng. No matter what his purpose was, he came to see the prefect of Kuaiji as a Kuaiji, but did not get out of the car when he got outside the camp, obviously he didn't really take Sun Ce seriously. If such a person does not hit him, he will be even more self-righteous and cannot talk about anything.

Wei Teng thought Guo Jia would call him, but after driving a hundred steps, he didn't hear the sound. When he turned around, he disappeared without even the shadow of Guo Jia. The camp gate was closed and there was only a team of soldiers standing with spears. He couldn't help but be stunned. He came to see Sun Ce with a purpose to buy time for Chen Deng. Now that he hasn't even entered, how can he negotiate with Sun Ce?

Wei Teng was helpless. He could not complete the task without seeing Sun Ce, but when he met, he was so unhappy. He could not do it. The reason for this was to suppress Sun Ce in a momentum so that he could negotiate. How could he talk if he gave in?

Wei Teng was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but had no choice but to do anything. He looked left and right and saw the knight sent by Cheng Pu, his eyes turned and had an idea. He waved his hand and called the knight over.

"I'm hungry and thirsty. Can I worry about finding some food and drink for me?"
