When Ji Han and his men traveled to the Three Kingdoms crew

Chapter 453 Chen Deng: Sun Bofu? He's finally here! (Four thousand)

Wujun Fuchun County

Cheng Pu, who had been waiting anxiously, finally saw the person he was waiting for. The worry on his brows immediately relaxed, and he took two steps at a time and walked quickly towards the familiar figure.

"Bofu, how is it? They didn't make things difficult for you, did they???"

Cheng Pu's face was full of concern.

Sun Ce gave Cheng Pu a reassuring look and forced a relaxed smile at him, "Uncle Cheng, Yuan Gonglu didn't make things difficult for me."

"That's good, that's good." Cheng Pu muttered to himself, but he didn't believe it at all in his heart. Ever since Sun Jian was shot by Huang Zhong, he finally realized what kind of person Yuan Shu was.

Small-minded! Ruthless and reckless!
Only focusing on immediate interests and completely ignoring long-term plans!
His chief general Sun Jian had made great contributions to Yuan Shu. Not only did he lose the post of Lujiang prefect that he had been promised, but even the troops he had worked so hard to gather were snatched away by Yuan Shu in one go!

Even Cheng Pu was secretly muttering, wouldn't this discourage the generals under his command?
Who will dare to die for Yuan Shu in the future? !
How could such a villain not humiliate Sun Ce? If he hadn't humiliated him, then Sun Ce would have returned with his soldiers at this moment, right?
Why are there still only a few people here and there?
Sun Ce did not seem to notice Cheng Pu's strange mood. Instead, he said loudly, "Uncle Cheng, Yuan Gonglu was unwilling to meet us before, but now he has agreed. As long as we serve as the vanguard in this battle and make military achievements, we can take back everything from our father!"

"Military merit." Cheng Pu was a little worried. He was almost disappointed with Yuan Shu. Serving as a vanguard meant fighting for his life!

The most important thing is.
"What if Yuan Gonglu regrets it later?" Cheng Pu expressed his concerns.

Even Sun Ce couldn't help but say in a deep voice, "Uncle Cheng, after all, Yuan Gonglu is the most powerful. We can only obey his orders for the time being."

"Alas." Cheng Pu sighed. Sun Ce was telling the truth. Yuan Shu had 100,000 soldiers. Although there were many bandits and gangsters among these 100,000 elite soldiers, it was enough to scare the governors of Yangzhou. They could only hold their noses and be forced to recognize the fact that Yuan Shu was the governor of Yangzhou.

They can't defeat them.
"In that case, is Bofu returning to his hometown to recruit local militia?" Cheng Pu asked after thinking for a moment.

Sun Ce admitted straightforwardly, "Yes, Yuan Gonglu said that he would provide me with as many elite soldiers as I could recruit from the village! Yuan Gonglu said this in front of everyone, so I don't think he would break his promise easily."

Looking at Sun Ce who was speaking confidently and showing no fear at all, Cheng Pu couldn't help but sigh in his heart, a tiger father will have a dog son, and Bofu really has the style of his father.

"Since Bofu has made up his mind, I will do my best to help you wherever I can!"

"Hahaha, thank you Uncle Cheng. I have something I need your help with!"

"Oh? What's the matter?" Cheng Pu became interested.

Sun Ce smiled and said, "I want to recruit local warriors. Please let Uncle Cheng know."

"Good!" Cheng Pu agreed immediately.

After watching Cheng Pu leave, Sun Ce took out a letter from his arms.

The letter in his hand was picked up when he returned home, and the person who wrote the letter was Zhou Yu.

Previously, Sun Jian was recommended by Zhu Jun as the assistant military commander to attack the Yellow Turban Army, and Sun Ce and his family were left in Shouchun with Sun Jian.

At that time, Sun Ce was a young and ambitious man. His favorite thing was to make friends with famous people, so his reputation gradually spread.

Zhou Yu, a native of Shu County, heard of his fame and made a special trip to Shouchun to visit him.

The two hit it off immediately and felt they had met too late.

To Sun Ce's surprise, the talented Zhou Yu was actually the same age as him.

Since they were of the same age, they had countless common topics. Sun Ce discovered that Zhou Yu had great ambitions and was in no way inferior to those famous scholars.

Soon the two became close friends who could talk about anything.

The current letter
Sun Ce read the letter in his hand very carefully, fearing that he would miss any word. He muttered to himself, "Bofu, I am writing to you. Jizhou has been in turmoil recently. I think Yuan Benchu ​​will be alone and will ask Yuan Gonglu for help. The day Yuan Benchu ​​asks Yuan Gonglu for help will be the day for us to achieve our great cause!"

"When Yuan Gonglu has no time to take care of Yangzhou, you and I will be able to raise an army to pacify Jiangdong!"

"In the future, we will use Jiangdong as our base to pacify the world. In this way, the Han Dynasty can flourish!"

"You and I will go down in history!"

"In order to realize the plan, the first step is to recruit soldiers!"

"It took me many days to convince my uncle and get 1,500 Danyang soldiers!"

"I hope Bofu will reunite with me soon, so that we can accomplish great things together!"

Sun Ce was both happy and sad.

He was happy because his good friend was so capable that he was able to convince the governor of Danyang and obtain 1,500 Danyang soldiers!

These Danyang soldiers were very powerful. We must know that in the second year of Tianhan during the reign of Emperor Xiaowu, Li Ling, the eldest grandson of Li Guang, was ordered by Emperor Wu to go on an expedition against the Huns.

As a result, they encountered the main force of the Xiongnu Chanyu at Junji Mountain. Li Ling fought a bloody battle with 5,000 Danyang soldiers against 80,000 Xiongnu main forces without any help, which once frightened the Xiongnu Chanyu! After fighting for thousands of miles, he was exhausted and captured. This shows the strong fighting power of the Danyang soldiers!
The hard part was that he had already promised Yuan Shu to serve as the vanguard. If he went back on his word now, I'm afraid his entire family would suffer.

Just thinking about this, Sun Ce suddenly felt guilty. He shook his head and said, "Forget it, forget it." He could only write a letter to Gongjin to explain the situation.
Sun Ce had no choice but to take a step forward and walk towards the village.

A few days later, Sun Ce returned to Yuan Shu's team with more than a thousand people recruited from the countryside.

Before Sun Ce could prepare himself, a familiar voice pulled his thoughts away.

"Bo Fu!"

Sun Ce was startled, the voice was Gongjin!

He quickly turned around and saw, as expected, it was a seven-foot-tall young man!
The young man came on horseback, wearing a brocade robe. He was truly handsome and elegant!
When the young man saw Sun Ce, he dismounted and bowed, "Yu, hello, Brother Bofu!"

Sun Ce was lying when he said he was not happy to see Zhou Yu, but didn't he say in his letter that he should not get involved? Why did Zhou Yu come anyway?
Zhou Yu seemed to see what Sun Ce was thinking. He smiled calmly and said loudly, "Brother Bofu, I am leading the troops to achieve my ambitions. How can I lose to you?!"

"Gongjin, you know it well"

Before Sun Ce could finish his words, a sudden voice interrupted their conversation.

"Good! Are you Zhou Gongjin? No wonder everyone praises you as Zhou Lang. After meeting you today, I can see that you are quite extraordinary in both conversation and knowledge. You are truly a talented person!"

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu looked in the direction of the voice and saw Yuan Shu walking towards them calmly with his hands behind his back, a look of satisfaction on his face.

The two men bowed and said, "Mr. Yuan!"

Yuan Shu waved his hand and said with a smile: "No need to be polite, I have long wanted to meet the hero of Yangzhou! I never thought that I would meet Sun Lang first and then Zhou Lang! It is really a happy event, how happy!"

The two nodded and said, Mr. Yuan, you are right.

Yuan Shu looked at the two of them, and his joy grew as he watched.

He knew something about Sun Ce's background, but as for Zhou Yu, he only heard that this boy was extraordinary and talented.

For a moment, Yuan Shu became playful. He wanted to see whether Zhou Yu was really as the rumors said.

"Zhou Lang, do you know the purpose of this military mobilization?" "Purpose?" Zhou Yu saw at a glance that Yuan Shu was testing him, so he replied, "Is it to help the governor of Jizhou?"

Yuan Shu nodded, "Not bad."

He did not think there was anything wrong with Zhou Yu's answer, as the composition of the army was complicated. He was not someone who liked to restrict his subordinates, so it was normal for the captains to inadvertently leak the information to the soldiers, and the soldiers to leak it out again.

"Then, Zhou Lang, which way do you think we should go to help Benchu?"

"Which way"

Even though he had the answer in his mind, Zhou Yu did not express his thoughts immediately. He knew that Yuan Shu loved talents, but he did not value them. To be valued by Yuan Shu, talent was the second, and being able to make Yuan Shu feel comfortable was the first.

Zhou Yu was not optimistic about Yuan Shu from the bottom of his heart.

However, one cannot give a random answer. Having talent does not necessarily mean that Yuan Shu will value him, and if one's talent does not match his reputation, it may cause Yuan Shu to dislike him.

If Yuan Shu disliked him and refused to allow him to join the army
So what should Sun Ce do? !
You have to know that this time, you have to face Huang Zhong. Who is Huang Zhong?

He was a fierce general who could shoot Sun Jian so hard that he could not go on an expedition!

His good friend wanted to avenge his father!
I really met Huang Zhong
Zhou Yu felt it was a difficult situation just thinking about it. Although Sun Ce was brave, Huang Zhong was still too powerful. It was incredible that an arrow could be shot with such a long range!
"?"

Sun Ce's eyes were full of doubts. Is this question difficult? If it were Gong Jin, he would have blurted it out long ago. Unless Gong Jin did it on purpose!

As for the reason, Sun Ce couldn't figure it out.

At this moment, Zhou Yu, who had been thinking for a moment, finally spoke, "In my opinion, I think Yuan Gong wants to pass through Xuzhou and Yanzhou and enter Jizhou."

!

Yuan Shu was slightly surprised. Yes, it was indeed so! Zhou Yu was talking about his next itinerary.

Good, good, this boy is not an unlearned scholar.

Yuan Shu's eyes flashed with admiration and appreciation, but he did not praise Zhou Yu. Instead, he continued to ask: "Why don't you go to Yuzhou? Why do you go to Xuzhou?"

"Why not go to Yuzhou?" Zhou Yu frowned and said what he was thinking. "Since the battle of Yangcheng, Liu Xuande's reputation has spread throughout Yingchuan. As far as I know, the scholars in Yingchuan are full of praise for Liu Xuande, saying that Liu Xuande is a capable minister of the present time and will surely restore the Han Dynasty!"

When Zhou Yu said this, Yuan Shu couldn't help but snorted sarcastically: "Liu Bei? A mat weaver and shoe seller, you are lucky to have stolen a high position!"

Sun Ce frowned. He thought that although Yuan Shu was not a decent person, he was still a hero as he had an army of 100,000.

Now it seems that he is blind.

It is true that he had a grudge against Liu Bei's generals.

For a big man, revenge for his father is as natural as it can be. Even the God would only say that he is a filial son.

But even he did not deny that Liu Xuande was a great man!

Sun Ce thought to himself: My father often talked to me about the past. My father was born in a humble family. Fortunately, my eldest father had some family wealth and helped my father get a small official position in the county government. Fortunately, God was kind to my father. He first defeated the bandits and was promoted to a temporary lieutenant. Later, he was promoted to Sima of another department with the help of a great man. He was even just one step away from becoming the governor of Lujiang.
My father's efforts and the blood he shed on the battlefield only narrowed the gap a little bit, but the gap is as big as standing on the ground and looking up at the sky.
On the other hand, Liu Xuande, who was born in a humble family, is now the younger brother of the late emperor and the uncle of the current emperor!
I think only Liu Xuande himself knows the hardships involved.

Why is such a great man not worth mentioning in Yuan Gonglu's mouth? !

Zhou Yu noticed something strange about Sun Ce, but fortunately Yuan Shu's attention was on him, so he didn't notice anything different about Sun Ce.

He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Bofu was good in every way except that he was too clear about what he loved and hated.

Zhou Yu raised his voice and continued, "In short, the talented people in Yingchuan are loyal to Liu Xuande. The governor of Yuzhou, Kong Jun, is influenced by the local big families. If we leave from Yuzhou, it will probably take a long time and cause unnecessary trouble."

".Good!" Even if Yuan Shu hated Liu Bei, he could not hate Zhou Yu. These words were enough to prove that this boy deserved the title of 'Beautiful Zhou Yu'.

Yuan Shu admired Zhou Yu more and more. He asked with a smile: "But Tao Qian is not a good person either. How can we convince Kong Rong?"

"This..." Zhou Yu thought about it seriously and shook his head at Yuan Shu, "I really can't figure it out."

Yuan Shu was delighted and thought, it seems that this boy is still immature and is not as smart as me!

However, what Yuan Shu failed to realize was that Zhou Yu was relieved.

Even Sun Ce discovered that Zhou Yu was lying.

In order to show off his wisdom, Yuan Shu proudly explained his plan to the two men. It was nothing more than contacting people around Tao Qian and paying a little money to get the opportunity to enter Xuzhou.

Zhou Yu and Sun Ce understood what he meant and showed admiration on their faces, praising him repeatedly, saying, "It's a pity that Lord Yuan didn't become a counselor."

In fact, Zhou Yu almost laughed out loud. Wasn't it just bribing Tao Qian's fellow villager Zuo Rong?
With this level of ability, you still look down on Liu Xuande?
Lord Yuan, Lord Yuan, comparing you with Liu Xuande is really an insult to Liu Xuande.

Yuan Shu was completely unaware of Zhou Yu's criticism. He was still proudly talking about the outline of his plan, not worrying at all whether Zhou Yu could guess his plan.

After all, in his opinion, Zhou Yu's talent is at most at the level of Yang Hong!

If they can’t even compare to Yan Xiang, how can they compare to him?
"How is it? Do you understand everything?" Yuan Shu asked with a smile.

Zhou Yu nodded, his face full of emotion. Although his expression was a little stiff, Yuan Shu was so happy that he didn't care about these minor flaws at all.

"That is to say, Lord Yuan, if we want to take the main road, we must pass through Guangling?"

"Not bad!"

After receiving Yuan Shu's affirmation, Zhou Yu felt something was wrong. Guangling County. Who was the prefect of Guangling?

Looks like his last name is Chen.
List.
Chen Deng Chen Yuanlong?
Guangling County.

A servant hurriedly ran to Chen Deng holding his coat, and even though he was shivering, he still said with concern: "My Lord, it's cold today, don't get sick! Why don't you stop standing on the wall and wait for me to go back to the mansion?"

"Don't worry." Chen Deng said calmly, "I practice the Five Animal Exercises every day, and my eating and sleeping habits are in compliance with the rules. You can go back home first."

The servant always felt that Chen Fujun was strange today. Why did he say something he didn't understand? Standards? Are there any specific rules for eating and sleeping?
And Chen Fujun seems very happy?

If Chen Deng knew what the servant was thinking, he would definitely nod, after all, the servant's guess was correct.

Happy?

He was so happy.

You know, Guangling is waiting for a distinguished guest.
Sun Ce, Sun Bofu. The Little Overlord of Jiangdong?
Chen Deng's eyes instantly became as sharp as an eagle!

I want to see how much you weigh!
