The frail counselor you said, you fight against three heroes alone?

Chapter 162 Sun Ce: I was thinking about that play for a while

However, as soon as this idea came up, Xi Yu dismissed it in a blink of an eye.

There is still some distance between Wu County and Xuchang, and there are still mountains and rivers in between. If you want to go there, you need to take a lot of detours.

It will take some time to talk less on the way, and now Xuchang School is only less than two months away from the start of school.

This time and again, just for Sun Ce alone, is a waste of time.

It would be better to let Sun Ce come to Xuchang by himself with an imperial edict.

As for whether the other party dares to come, that is an open matter.

Even if Sun Ce was a little apprehensive, he could write a letter in person to invite him to Xuchang.

Thinking about relying on his current name, then Sun Ce will give him some face, right?
Xi Yu thought about it like this, and completely dismissed the idea of ​​being an envoy to see Sun Ce.

"By the way, I heard that after Mr. Cao heard about Sun Ce's deeds, he often referred to him as Yi'er these days."

"This statement is quite consistent!"

Hearing that Xi Zhicai said that Cao Cao wanted to send envoys to win over Sun Ce, Guo Jia then remembered the rumors he had heard these days, and couldn't help but say something along the way.

As soon as he said this, Xi Zhicai turned his head and looked at Guo Jia quietly.

"Your news is quite well-informed!"

"Fireworks and Wine Alley, that's all the news. Do you think I like to go to those places just for the sake of drinking?"

Guo Jia chuckled, as if he had found a suitable excuse for what he had done before.

Hearing this, Xi Zhicai's mouth twitched.

The eyes turned to look at Guo Jia, the contempt in the eyes was very obvious.

I don't know who you are yet?

You Guo Fengxiao, why are you so shameless!
Did you go to that kind of place to inquire about news?You're here for the sex.

Guo Jia didn't care about Xi Zhicai's disdain at all.

After all, there is not much difference between the two.

Xi Yu looked at the expressions of the pair of friends beside him, and couldn't help but chuckled.

The two are the same breed, and no one needs to be stronger than the other.

At this time, there was a gentle breeze in the garden.

Guo Jia narrowed his eyes, looked around the school again, couldn't help but opened his mouth and whispered.

"The school built by Feng Yi is quite interesting!"

Xi Yu asked him to work in the school, but Guo Jia had no objection.

He is too lazy to participate in the current world situation.

It's not bad to have a free place to take care of yourself.

"The school will open in two months, Guo Fengxiao, you guys, don't let me find no one!"

Xi Yu said something to Guo Jia indifferently, and the latter just smiled and agreed.

……

It's the day, Xiaoshu.

The weather in various parts of Dahan began to heat up significantly.

Within Xuchang, Cao Cao sent his visitor, Yilang Wangpu, with the emperor's edict, to Wujun as an envoy, and also wanted to recruit Sun Ce.

Xi Yu immediately found Wang Pu and asked him to help him carry a letter to Sun Ce.

The latter readily agreed.

And at the same time.

At that time, Sun Ce had not yet returned to Wu County, and his friend Zhou Yu learned that Sun Ce was after Shouchun at this moment.

Immediately, he rushed from Juchao County to Shouchun and went straight to Sun Ce.

After he and Sun Ce met in the second year of Xingping, Zhou Yu followed Sun Ce all the way, first conquering Hengjiang and Dangli, and then crossing the river to attack Moling.

He defeated Ruo Rong and Xue Li along the way, then captured Hushu and Jiangcheng, entered Qu'a, and forced Liu Yao away.

At that time, Sun Ce's reputation was greatly shaken, and there were tens of thousands of soldiers under his command.

The two agreed that Zhou Yu would lead his troops to garrison Danyang, while Sun Ce would turn around and attack Wujun, Kuaiji and other places.

But later, not long after Zhou Yu was stationed in Danyang, Yuan Shu sent his cousin Yuan Yin to replace his father Zhou Shang as the prefect of Danyang.

Zhou Yu and his father Zhou Shang also belonged to Yuan Shu. After the prefect was replaced, Zhou Yu could only follow Zhou Shang to Shouchun.

Yuan Shu had been wooing Zhou Yu all the time before, but he had already made an agreement with Sun Ce in his heart.

Living in Shouchun, some things cannot be avoided over time.

In desperation, Zhou Yu had no choice but to resign from Yuan Shu, please sit in Juchao county magistrate.

It was not long after he took office, and he planned to take the opportunity to go back to Jiangdong to find Sun Ce.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Sun Ce came to Shouchun.

After learning about this, Zhou Yu went straight to Shouchun overnight and arrived just two days later.

As soon as he arrived in Shouchun, Zhou Yu went straight to Sun Ce's temporary residence.

It's too late to be notified.

Zhou Yu went straight to the mansion and walked all the way. When he arrived in the courtyard, he saw Sun Ce was shirtless and waving a spear in his hand.

Between waving, the wind is loud.

"Bofu!"

Zhou Yu's tone couldn't help being a little excited seeing this brother who was not talking about the old days in front of him.

After hearing the familiar voice, Sun Ce threw down the spear in his hand, and his eyes fell on Zhou Yu.

"Gongjin!"

Sun Ce took a few steps forward to meet him, and Zhou Yu also came forward autonomously.

The two hugged each other, and Sun Ce couldn't help but laughed aloud.

"Gongjin, why are you here!"

"I heard that you went to Juchao County before, and I planned to go to find you after leaving Shouchun this time!"

"you?"

Sun Ce couldn't help asking, Zhou Yu grinned bitterly.

"I have already learned about your conquest of Wu County. I got you to come to Shouchun. I couldn't help myself for a while, so I couldn't help but come to you!"

At this time, after the two sat down in the yard.

Sun Ce asked someone to bring drinks from the back hall, picked up a jug and handed it to Zhou Yu.

"Gongjin came just in time, I have something to discuss with you this time!"

"Ok?"

Zhou Yu didn't speak. After taking the flagon in his hand, he waited for Sun Ce to speak.

The latter did not pause, and then said: "Gong Jin, this time General Yuan intends to form an alliance with Lu Bu, and the two intend to attack Cao Cao."

"I have a hunch in my heart, it seems that it is not far from the time when I rise up!"

Sun Ce had a feeling in his heart, and he had no scruples in front of Zhou Yu.

Hearing this, Zhou Yu frowned.

He got Sun Ce to come here immediately after Shouchun, and he had some thoughts in his heart.

Hearing what Sun Ce said now, he didn't hide it.

"Tell Bofu the truth. I have read a lot of newspapers and periodicals of the Han Dynasty these days. I heard that Xuchang has established a school."

"And there was Yuedan's comment in the previous episode, I want to go to Xuchang to have a look!"

Zhou Yu didn't finish his sentence.

He actually wanted to meet the play Fengyi that was rumored in the world that day.

It is rumored that he is resourceful and talented.

Zhou Yu had long been yearning for it, and if he didn't feel comfortable considering that Sun Ce still needed his help, he would have gone straight to Xuchang.

Now that Sun Ce has occupied Kuaiji and Wujun, Zhou Yu feels more at ease.

Saying these words right now, Dao didn't hesitate at all.

"Oh, Gongjin is going to Xuchang?"

"Then me?"

Sun Ce had some regrets on his face. To be honest, after seeing Zhou Yu appearing in front of him, Sun Ce was extremely excited.

He wanted to take Zhou Yu back to Wu County, but he didn't expect that Zhou Yu would say that he wanted to go to Xuchang.

"Haha, when did Bo Fu become so reserved?"

Seeing Sun Ce's expression, Zhou Yu couldn't help but chuckled.

Immediately, that face couldn't help but became solemn.

Seeing that there was no one else nearby, Zhou Yu spoke directly to Sun Ce.

"Bo Fu, I don't think Yuan Shu is a long-term person. You need to make a plan early this time. Now that you have Wu County and Shouchun, it's the right time to develop!"

"I have heard about his alliance with Lu Bu, but I think it will be difficult for the two of them to deal with Cao Cao."

Zhou Yu told the truth.

Not to mention that there is a play in Xuchang where Fengyi sits in town, even the pair of uncles and nephews of the Xun family in Yingchuan are not simple characters.

What's more, now all the scholars in the world are rushing to Xuchang.

How can the talented people under Cao Cao's command be compared with Lu Bu and Yuan Shu.

Furthermore, Xuchang still has the emperor sitting in town.

Cao Cao occupies the court's righteousness.

For various reasons, Zhou Yu was not optimistic about Yuan Shu at all.

After a pause, Zhou Yu continued: "Bo Fu, let me ask you a question!"

"Do you still remember the ambition in your heart?"

"Naturally remember!"

Hearing Zhou Yu's question, Sun Ce nodded without hesitation.

Hearing this, Zhou Yu laughed, "Since that's the case, it doesn't matter if we go to Xuchang later. This time, I will go back to Wu County with you first!"

"To be honest, if you forget your ambitions back then, I would have to go to Xuchang to join the rumored Xi Fengyi!"

Zhou Yu made a joke.

Speaking of Xi Yu, Sun Ce was also a little curious.

According to the rumors in the world today, that drama Fengyi not only has the talent of a heavenly man in his resourcefulness, but also has the power of a heavenly man with force.

For such a person, Sun Ce himself was curious.

In terms of resourcefulness, Sun Ce has no doubts, but force.

Sun Ce still wanted to see more or less in his heart.

Hearing that his good brother admired Xi Yu so much, Sun Ce couldn't help curling his lips.

"The reputation of Fengyi in that play is so great, I think Gongjin's strategy is absolutely no less than his own!"

"Why be so presumptuous?"

Sun Ce lifted his brother, but Zhou Yu followed suit and waved his hand.

"Bo Fu should know that there are very few people in this world that I can admire!"

"However, I admire the talent of acting in accordance with righteousness!"

"When I was in Juchao County this time, I checked the news of Xi Fengyi a lot. The article on the Six Kingdoms in the Dahan newspaper pointed directly at the current situation in the world!"

"Furthermore, its policies are now very effective in Yanzhou and Xuzhou. Even Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu in Hebei are now copying their policies."

"All these things have shown his talent, and this is just the tip of the iceberg of the other party!"

Zhou Yu's admiration for Xi Yu was not concealed at all. After hearing such words, Sun Ce had no way to refute.

However, now that his brother can give up going to Xuchang and go back to Wu County with him, it has already touched several people in his heart.

Warmth rises in the chest cavity.

The two sat in front of the stone table in the courtyard, drinking pot after pot of wine.

Not long after, the two got drunk.

The next day.

Sun Ce bid farewell to Yuan Shu, who relied on Sun Ce and agreed to let him leave with some of Sun Jian's old troops.

In such a situation, Sun Ce did not force it, and it would be good if he could return with some of his late father's generals.

Now, Sun Ben, Sun Xiang and others are still working under Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu still has some trust in Sun Ce.

mid-July.

Just after Sun Ce returned to Wu County with Zhou Yu, Wang Pu, who brought the imperial edict from Xuchang, also just arrived in Wu County.

The visitor came from Xuchang, and Sun Ce immediately took Zhou Yu to invite him to the government office.

"Meet General Sun!"

"Meet Wang Yilang"

After Wang Pu arrived in Wu County, he did not put on airs as an imperial envoy.

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were also extremely polite.

After greeting each other, Sun Ce immediately invited the other party to sit down.

"General Sun, this is an edict appointed by the imperial court!"

Wang Pu went straight to the point, and directly handed the imperial edict to Sun Ce.

After Sun Ce took it casually, he spread it out in front of Zhou Yu.

There is a book on it.

Sun Ce was appointed Captain of the Great Han Cavalry, inheriting the title of Marquis of Wucheng from his father Sun Jian.

Seeing the content, Sun Ce only frowned slightly.

A cavalry captain wanted to dismiss him, and Cao Cao looked down on him a little bit.

After reading the edict, Sun Ce didn't speak for the first time.

Seeing the other party's reaction, Wang Pu knew that the title Cao Sikong gave to the other party was a bit low.

This is dissatisfaction!

However, he has the right to act cheaply during this trip, so he is not in a hurry.

At this time, Sun Ce glanced at Wang Pu indifferently.

"May I ask Wang Yilang, what does Cao Sikong mean by this?"

This question is too straightforward. Logically speaking, the imperial edict was promulgated by the imperial court. No matter how dissatisfied you, Sun Ce, have anything to do with Cao Sikong.

But when these words are said directly, the meaning is already obvious.

What Sun Ce meant was, I know this edict was given to me by you, Cao Cao, the Marquis of Sun Jian, but he has no objection.

But he didn't want to take the title of riding captain!

Hearing this, Wang Pu was not surprised at all.

"Yuan Shu doesn't respect the imperial court. Sikong wants the general to attack Yuan Shu on purpose. I don't know what the general thinks?"

Wang Pu didn't hide his efforts, and directly said what Cao Cao told him before leaving.

Hearing this, the corner of Sun Ce's mouth twitched.

Just a cavalry captain, wanting to get close to Cao Cao to attack Yuan Shu, it would be too contemptuous of him.

If Zhou Yu hadn't winked at him from the sidelines, he would have kicked Wang Pu out with one kick.

"Marquis Wu Cheng is my father's title, so it's only natural for me to inherit it, but please inform Cao Sikong of the position of captain of cavalry, I'm sorry I can't accept it!"

When Sun Ce spoke directly, Wang Pu's eyebrows twitched.

"Don't worry, general!"

"I have already obtained the general's wishes, why don't you wait for me to go to the court and tell the general's wishes, if you think about it, the court will definitely not treat the general badly!"

Those who can serve as messengers are extremely perceptive in their own minds.

Seeing that Sun Ce was dissatisfied, Wang Pu directly told the other party that he could help the table.

Of course, he could even directly decide to call Sun Ce a miscellaneous general, but some things should not be too direct after all.

After hearing what Wang Pu said, Sun Ce followed suit with a smile.

"So, we will wait for Wang Yilang's news!"

After finishing the business, Sun Ce didn't want to talk to Wang Pu anymore, thinking that the other party would leave the government office by himself.

Never thought that Wang Pu was not in a hurry to leave this time.

After he casually took out a letter from his pocket, he handed it to Sun Ce.

"Don't worry, general. This is a letter from Da Si Nong, the imperial historian of the dynasty, to the general."

After handing Xi Yu's letter to Sun Ce to the other party, Wang Pu bid farewell.

Sun Ce looked at the letter in his hand, and didn't rush to open it. After sending the other party out of the government office, he turned back and followed Zhou Yu to look at each other.

A letter from Xi Yu to him.

This letter took Sun Ce somewhat by surprise.

Zhou Yu next to him was also a little curious that Xi Yu would write a letter to Sun Ce at this time.

What was said in it made him a little concerned.

"Bo Fu, this!"

Zhou Yu reminded Sun Ce, and the latter smiled after reading the letter.

"Haha, from this point of view, my reputation has already been known by that play Fengyi."

"I want to see what he wrote to me and what he said!"

After opening the letter casually, there is actually not much content.

In Xi Yu's book, he first counted Sun Ce's achievements in detail. To Xi Yu, it was like having nothing to say and dealing with errands.

After Sun Ce saw this, he couldn't help being a little excited.

Feng Yi is so familiar with this play.

After the political achievements, it was Xi Yu who talked about Sun Ce's advantages in one breath, admiring him a bit, and even speaking like a relative or friend.

After reading the letter, Sun Ce was a little dazed.

Zhou Yu next to him also finished watching.

This is just a letter to Sun Ce. If you read it carefully, it doesn't say much.

However, this was written by Xi Fengyi.

"Bo Fu, Xi Yu invited you to Xuchang for a talk, what's on your mind?"

Zhou Yu had some doubts.

At this moment, Xi Yu invited Sun Ce to Xuchang, but he couldn't understand.

But this time Sun Ce has already entered Cao Cao's eyes.

If he went to Xuchang honestly, he might be trapped because of this, and it would be difficult to break free.

"What do you think, since he invited me to go, I also want to meet him for a while!"

Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu.

Originally, he didn't intend to go to Xuchang. When Wang Pu was there just now, he said between his words that if Sun Ce was willing to go to Xuchang, Cao Cao would definitely attach great importance to it.

At that time, it will definitely not be as simple as riding a captain.

But Sun Ce also understood that Cao Cao must have no good intentions for letting him go to Xuchang.

Even if you go to Xuchang, it doesn't make much sense to be named a general.

After all, it's one thing to come back when the time comes.

However, it was different when Xi Fengyi invited him.

This is not an official business, but a private invitation.

Sun Ce was a little moved, and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up slightly.

Furthermore, when he heard that Zhou Yu wanted to go to Xuchang a few days ago, the name Xi Yu stuck in his heart.

At this time, the other party invited him by letter, which was exactly in line with Sun Ce's wishes.

"Gongjin, didn't you say to go to Xuchang to have a look a few days ago!"

"This time, I will accompany Gong Jin to go and have a look, to meet the rumored drama Feng Yi!"

"I'd like to see if he has the power of heaven and man, as rumored!"

When Sun Ce opened his mouth, he had already made a decision between his words.
