Three Kingdoms: Cao Ying's mastermind, from nine to five

Chapter 123 Your lord is too cruel to himself! !
Not long after, the two entered the camp, and two military divisions came.

One is very old and the other is very small.

Zhou Yu had a good impression of the clean young man in a gray robe, with hair hanging down his sides and a bun on his head.

This person is not only clean and neat, with a fair complexion, but also has a sense of depth in his eyes. Only when he has a conspiracy in his belly and has read a lot of books can he reveal this temperament.

He is estimated to be eight feet tall, with a handsome appearance and well-dressed clothes, with a smile on his mouth and bright eyes.

But it's really too young.

At such an age, he can be a military advisor in the army.

The other person was even more strange, not to mention thin, with a sense of withering, the sides of the cheeks seemed to have little moisture, and they were close to the bones of the face, the beard was like hair on the tip of a pen, but the eyes were very lively.

He looks old, but in fact he should be in good spirits and physique. When he walks, his breath is long, and he can't even feel any movement from him.

When Jia Xu came over, he immediately bowed slightly and said to Sun Ce: "It's been a long time, General. I met you once when I was 16 years old. I still remember how handsome you were back then. This look is the majesty of my father."

"Who is Mr.!? Why did I meet you? But my father knew him a long time ago?" Sun Ce was of course surprised when he said this.

I have no influence on this old man at all, probably because he has never traveled around Jiangnan and Jiangdong, so his reputation is not obvious.

Otherwise, after all these years of keeping a low profile and looking for teachers and friends, how could I not know the face of this person?

"Oh, it's not an old friend. Back then, Li Ru asked General Sun Jian to marry him on behalf of Dong Zhuo. What he asked was to marry his granddaughter to the general."

"At that time, Li Ru was thrown out of the barracks by random sticks, and when he came back, he said that the general was handsome. Fortunately, the marriage could not be facilitated at that time, otherwise the general would lose his reputation."

"Oh! The student knows who the master is!" Zhou Yu interjected with a smile, and immediately cupped his hands and said, "Mr. is probably the Sima of the Niu Fujun, and later the Marquis of the Han Dynasty. In Zhang Xiu's army, he was regarded as an elder, but now he is serving as a military advisor in Xu Junhou's army."

"Student Zhou Yu, whose name is Gongjin, is from Shu County, Lujiang. Later, his uncle went to Danyang to be the prefect, so he learned something in Danyang."

After Zhou Yu revealed his identity, Sun Ce's expression changed a little. Although Dong Zhuo's counselor in the army was now an ally, he wondered if there was any enmity at that time.

Why is this person coming to receive him, why not just let this young counselor come.

"Who is this little gentleman? I think he has a handsome demeanor, and he is probably a son of a rich family."

Zhou Yu raised his hand and asked. He was more interested in young people. Firstly, it was young people who would fight more in the future. This person has an extraordinary appearance and bearing, but he is obviously not very old.

But at a young age, he can take on important responsibilities, either because of his high status or because he is really talented.

Zhuge Liang bowed to Zhou Yu and said, "My lord, Zhuge Liang, named Kong Ming, is Xu Junhou's only disciple."

"Oh! So that's it!" Zhou Yu gave a short laugh, narrowed his eyes and examined a little more, and said, "Sure enough, he is a formidable young man. Since Kong Ming is the only disciple, his talents must be extremely high. If he is taught by the Lord, I am afraid that he will also be a big man in the future. Famous minister!"

Zhuge Liang bowed his hands, his expression calm.

"Please sit down in the big tent. The Junhou is still in Wanxian County. He should come after he takes office, but it is not the Junhou to entertain the two of you." Jia Xu walked all the way, and on the way to the main tent. The two said with a smile.

"Oh?" Zhou Yu and Sun Ce looked at each other curiously, "Who is that?"

"He is the eldest son of the Cao family, a general with five senses."

"Cao Zixiu..."

At this time, Sun Ce was considered to be a little more stable, and his heart was a little more happy. From this point of view, Dadu will definitely be able to exchange for titles and official positions.

You can make Danyang the prefect, or ask for the post of general, so that you can go back to rectify the gentry in the future, and then squeeze out their family's money and talents.

Such a plan is a big plan. From this point of view, there is no need to even show the intention of friendship, just exchange it for it. Since he is the eldest son of the Cao family, he should still have such a heart.

"Where is the eldest son now? But he is in Wan County with the prince?" While Sun Ce was still thinking about it, Zhou Yu readily agreed and followed him outside the big tent.

Jia Xu said with a smile: "That's not the case. The eldest son is probably still at the pass. There are also many refugees at the Lujiang pass. The son should be comforting the people and he will be back soon."

"I see……"

Both of them nodded after hearing what they heard. It seems that the Cao family really practiced benevolence and justice to the end.

Even the eldest son of the Cao family is willing to personally appease the refugees in a pass.

Not simple.

When the two were sighing, Zhuge Liang was also sighing in his heart. He almost blurted out just now, trying not to hide that Cao Ang couldn't catch up with the marching army, so he fell behind.

But what he thought was not comprehensive. Zhuge Liang felt that if he said so, the two of them would admire the emperor's speed in using troops even more.

But after listening to Jia Xu's words, I immediately felt that it was better to say so.

The old stuff is really smooth, I learned it.

Zhuge Liang thought to himself.

After entering the military tent, several people took their seats, but the main seat was vacant. Before Cao Ang came, they discussed many military matters first.

Zhuge Liang bluntly donated three thousand stones of grain and grass and eight hundred catties of meat to Sun's camp for the garrison.

However, it will take several days to cash in the grain and grass, and the grain trucks will slowly transport them from Chenliu, Dongjun, and Xiapi together.

It was agreed to attack the west of Yuan Shu together, and cooperate with Cao Cao's army to surround Yuan Shu Shouchun.

Although his Huainan County has a vast area and rich resources, it is the only place after all.

After gradually encroaching, they can slowly encircle it. Now the real battlefield is still on the front line of Xuzhou, and Yuan Shu's army is stationed in Shouchun.

At this point the situation needs to be discussed.

So, under constant discussion with each other, the whole morning almost passed.

By noon, both Zhou Yu and Sun Ce were a little tired. After marching all night and setting up camp again, it was actually time for them to sleep peacefully by now.

But Jia Xu and the others didn't seem to be tired, thinking that they hadn't slept all night, and everyone was supporting each other.

It would be nice to have a banquet in the evening, drink some wine and go back to sleep peacefully.

As soon as Cao Ang came in, his face was full of joy, and he walked quickly to Sun Ce's office.

The two also stood up at the same time to greet them.

"It's late, everyone, wait, wait!!"

Cao Ang went all the way to the main seat and sat down, then stood up and stretched out his hand, "Please sit down, both of you."

"Bo Fu, he should be older, Zixiu dared to call him brother."

Sun Ce nodded, and carefully looked at Cao Ang's face. He was quite handsome, with a manner very similar to Cao Cao, and he had a heroic look when he smiled.

But if you don't smile, you have a sense of elegance and tranquility, your chin already has a slight beard, which is in the shape of a "mountain", and a little bit extends out of your chin.

The demeanor is also majestic and majestic, without any sense of jerk. Some young people will always be cautious if they meet strangers.

For example, many talented people in Jiangdong, when they saw Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, would be a little speechless, or hem and haw, nervous and overwhelmed by their tolerance.

But this Eldest Young Master did not lose Cao's face, a few words after he came in could bring the two of them closer, and he sat directly on the main seat, and after some arrangements, he immediately showed his mastery.

"My father, General Sun Jian, joined hands to fight for Dong. In fact, after the allied forces made achievements, the only ones who are still dedicated to fighting bandits are my father, General Sun Jian, and the current Lord Muxuande of Yuzhou."

"That's right!" Sun Ce proudly held out his chest. Every time he talked about this time, he was always more proud, "There is no hero in the world better than this. How many princes spoke boldly at the beginning, but later they were all disturbed for profit!"

"My father begged for Dong until he fled to Chang'an, and he was still fighting fiercely at the pass. In the end, the soldiers and food were exhausted, so he withdrew his troops and went to Nanyang to fight the rebellion."

"What Zixiu said made me very happy. It seems that even though you and I are the sons of heroes back then, we still have the ambition to go together!"

Sun Ce's words were sonorous and powerful, full of spirit, obviously extremely powerful, and had the demeanor of a general. He smiled at Cao Ang, without hiding his admiration for him.

"Haha, it must be a hangover! In this way, after Zixiu treats his brother, he can form an alliance and attack Yuan Shu! Fight against the traitor in Shouchun, take meritorious deeds in troubled times, and follow the majesty of his father's generation!"

"As it is!!"

Sun Ce's eyes were passionate, and he got up immediately. These words really spoke to his heart, and the current situation really looks like this.

The only difference is that Cao Ang's father has laid down such a family business for him, there are a lot of talents and the emperor is in his hands, so he can just take over in the future.

My father, however, only taught by precepts and deeds, with thousands of old troops behind him, and some foundations in Jiangdong, he was about to show a little decline.

But heroes don't ask where they come from, only by fighting for supremacy, the hero can be determined in the end!

At this moment, the two seemed to hate each other, and then spoke loudly, quite enthusiastically.

They laughed out loud during the conversation, which made everyone around them feel at peace year by year.

Although Cao Ang was kind and enthusiastic, he did not reveal the slightest bit in his words. Whenever he mentioned the Lujiang incident, he always said that the Han people were in hand and the people were peaceful.

Sun Ce was not given the slightest chance to ask for one city and one place, but later Sun Ce knew that it was impossible to get it, so he turned to talk about the title of the year.

Cao Ang immediately understood, cupped his hands and said: "The elder brother's words are very true! This marquis must inherit, and the elder brother's merits have established the Jiangdong state. He should have been a general early, and my younger brother will definitely ask the emperor for his words!"

"Really? If so, Jing Zixiu will have three bowls tonight!"

"It's easy to say, easy to say!" Cao Ang smiled and waved his hands, his face was full of brilliance. At this time, the door of the military tent was suddenly opened, and the wind blew the door of the tent.

The three people who hurried in were Xu Zhen, Xu Chu and Zhao Zilong.

The three of them had just returned from the fields outside the city, and because Xu Zhen went to teach others how to slaughter pigs, a lot of blood was stained on Yinjia's robe and skirt.

He glanced at the two people in the guest seat, hurried to the side of the military tent, found the leather bag, and gulped water.

Afterwards, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Cao Ang, "I'm in a hurry to explore the way, and I'll probably be back in the afternoon."

"Going to the east, there are several small roads. There are three guard posts on the road, and the small roads still need to be guarded. I will go to both water and land to investigate. At that time, your navy may also be able to enter."

"oh oh……"

Zhuge Liang and Cao Ang both stood up unconsciously, Xu Zhen came too suddenly, and after drinking the water, he had to leave in a hurry, so he didn't know what to say for a while.

Only "oh oh" a few times.

"This general, check the waterway to see if Gong Jin can go with him!"

Zhou Yu immediately wanted to stop, but Xu Zhen didn't look back, and waved his hand while striding out.

Of course not!
Don't meddle with it, I have to go both ways, why not brush up the self-discipline points given for free, I am full of energy now, hurry up and use up my physical strength.

It feels like an award is coming!Go on for a few more days!
There were still war horses outside the door, and the three rode on the horses and galloped away, leading a group of cavalry, and soon the sound of "calling" the war horses gradually faded away.

After going back and forth, Cao Ang forgot everything he said just now.

"Just now, where did you talk about?"

Sun Ce also came back to his senses, and said with a smile: "Zixiu is so generous that he is willing to speak to the emperor for his brother. This should be a kindness of recommendation, and Bo Fu must remember it in his heart."

"Oh, of course it doesn't have to be that way, it's my brother's own merit!"

Cao Ang replied, but for some reason, after the two looked at each other and smiled, they couldn't talk anymore.

Sun Ce even thought of the man who entered the camp just now, and his face was still a little hot.

I feel like I can't talk anymore.

People are still busy outside, the generals and deputy generals are exploring the route of advance, searching for trails to prepare for surprise attacks.

As a prince, Xu Bowen was still teaching and farming for the people in Wanxian County. Just now, the general was full of blood, obviously he had just returned from four kills.

Lujiang County is not peaceful.

These few places are so busy, how can we discuss it with peace of mind, and any bold words will hurt my face a little bit.

It felt as if someone was holding a letter with the bold words just said on the letter, and while slapping him in the face, he said "you are so good".

It's not a good feeling in my heart.

Cao Ang also felt the same way.

At this time, Zhou Yu couldn't help asking, "My lord, who is that young general who came and went like the wind just now? Could it be also Xu Junhou's confidant?"

"Ah?" Cao Ang's eyes froze for a moment, then he blinked and said, "That's Brother Bowen."

"What?" Zhou Yu and Sun Ce stood up and stared at Cao Ang incredulously, "The one just now?"

so young? !
"Um……"

They scanned the faces of the crowd.

They all look like they have long been used to, so it's not surprising.

"He released grain in Wancheng, and then rushed back to check the route of the army, and also arranged for patrols..."

That said, not all parts of the barracks are busy.

But Xu Bowen is busy everywhere?

Sun Ce felt his face hurt even more now.

I'm still chatting here.

Xu Zhen has never stopped. If I remember correctly, he probably hasn't rested until today.

The two looked at each other, and Zhou Yu's forehead was also slightly sweaty, and he was no longer talking and laughing like before.

At this time, the two clasped their fists at the same time, and said: "Zixiu, if this is the case, let's drink another day. At this time, the war is not over, and the rebels are still there. How dare you take chances!"

"I will also go back to the barracks to practice soldiers and horses, send scouts to check the military situation, and then issue orders to lead the army to the border of Huainan!"

"Brother, why don't you have a meal—"

"No!" Sun Ce clasped his fists solemnly, "After getting rid of the usurpers and traitors, let's drink with Zixiu again!"

How could I possibly eat it!

"Otherwise, I will be restless!!" Sun Ce said with a sigh.

It's too ruthless, your lord... is so ruthless to himself!How to compare and discuss with it in the future! !

The two rose up and walked away, strolling in the courtyard when they came, and wished they could get on their horses and gallop when they left.

"Two walk slowly."

Cao Ang went all the way to the door, and Jia Xu and Zhuge Liang, who came slowly, kept sighing.

"Oh, I used to feel so ashamed too..." Zhuge Liang sighed deeply, he couldn't understand the mood of the two of them today.

"However, this knot in the heart is not difficult to remove."

Jia Xu and Cao Ang looked at Zhuge Liang at the same time.

"How to eliminate it?"

Although they are used to it, the shadow is still there.

Zhuge Liang sighed, "You only need to imitate the princes for a while, and then you will give up."

Jia Xu:"……"

Cao Ang: "..."
