We agreed that you, a weak strategist, would fight against three heroes by yourself?

"Bo Fu, now Yan Baihu and others have fled, our army has occupied the territory of Kuaiji and Wu Commandery, this is a success!"

At the foot of Wu County City, Sun Ce looked out with a gun. At this time, he had just defeated Yan Baihu and occupied Wu County.

Now that he was returning to Wu County, Cheng Pu on the side immediately wanted to give him advice.

This time Yuan Shu was overjoyed that he had captured Kuaiji and defeated Yan Baihu and others. He had just sent an envoy to recruit Sun Ce to Shouchun for discussion.

As soon as the kung fu envoy left, Cheng Pu couldn't help but speak out his advice.

Sun Ce was slightly in a trance.

He thought about what he had asked Zhang Hong before he defected to Yuan Shu.

At that time, he confided his feelings to Zhang Hong.

He said: "Han Zuo was in decline, and the world was full of heroes and heroes. They supported their troops and respected themselves, and they all tried to develop.

In today's world, no one is out of public interest, helping those in danger and helping those in trouble.

My late father Sun Jian and the Yuan family jointly defeated Dong Zhuo, but they failed, but unfortunately they were killed by Huang Zu..."

Sun Ce bluntly told Zhang Hong that he was determined to start a career and avenge his father, and then asked the other party if it was okay for him to defect to Yuan Shu?

Sun Ce thought that after defecting to Yuan Shu, he would ask the other party to hand over Sun Jian's old troops to his command, and then go to Danyang to rely on his uncle Wu Jing.

Then collect scattered soldiers and occupy Wu Commandery and Kuaiji in the east. At that time, you can avenge your humiliation and become a foreign vassal of the imperial court.

However, after hearing what Sun Ce said, Zhang Hong gave him an example.

It is said that in the Western Zhou Dynasty, Wang Daoling was late, and Duke Huan of Qi and Duke Wen of Jin were able to rise to the occasion;

Once the royal family is at peace, the princes from all over the country can only pay tribute to the Zhou Dynasty and fulfill their duties as ministers.

He said that Sun Ce had inherited the majesty of his father and was brave and good at fighting. If he could live in Danyang, he would gather troops from Wu County and Kuaiji.

Then, the two states of Jingyang can be wiped out, and revenge will be just around the corner.

Later, he told Sun Ce that by relying on the Yangtze River, he could exert his might, wipe out the heroes, and help the Han Dynasty.

By that time, the achievements they have made will never be inferior to those of Qi Huan and Jin Wen. Compared with this, how can it be compared with that of a foreign vassal.

He told Sun Ce that if he really wanted to make great achievements, he would have to cross southward.

After Sun Ce heard this, he left his mother and weak brother in the care of Zhang Hong, and then surrendered to Yuan Shu.

Same as the original plan.

Although Yuan Shu did not directly hand over Sun Jian's troops to his command, he relied on his own abilities this time.

Already captured Wujun, Kuaiji and other places.

Now Cheng Pu's advice was clearly telling him that it was time to get rid of Yuan Shu and stand on his own feet.

However, most of Sun Jian's old tribe and the Sun family are still under Yuan Shu.

If they break up with Yuan Shu this time, it will not be a good thing for the Sun family.

"There's no rush. Since Yuan Shu wants to see me, it's not too late to go to Shouchun to have a look first before making any calculations!"

He glanced at Cheng Pu.

Now that he has occupied Kuaiji, Wujun and other places, his ambition has risen a lot.

It would be a good idea to meet Yuan Shu, and take advantage of the opportunity to go to Shouchun to take away all Sun Jian's old troops with him.

"Bo Fu, Yuan Shu is a capricious man. He promised Bo Fu to be the governor of Lujiang, but ended up betraying his promise. Now if Bo Fu goes to Shouchun, I'm worried..."

Cheng Pu was a little worried, and Sun Ce waved his hand after hearing this.

"General, you are too worried. With my current power, Yuan Shu will not dare to target me. He will rely on me to help him conquer more territory!"

For Yuan Shu, Sun Ce still had some disdain in his heart.

So what if he goes to Shouchun, Yuan Shu will not touch him.

It was early July of that year.

Sun Ce led his troops back to Shouchun.

When Sun Ce returned, Yuan Shu personally went out of the city gate to greet him. On the surface, the two of them were as enthusiastic as a biological father and son.

Within the Shouchun Yamen Office.

Yuan Shu sat at the head of the table, and after Sun Ce took his seat, his eyes narrowed.

"What a Bo Fu, you really didn't disappoint me!"

"Bo Fu, you have done a great job this time. If you need anything, just tell me!"

After saying something to Sun Ce, Yuan Shu had a faint smile on his lips.

After hearing this, Sun Ce stood up and saluted Yuan Shu.

"General, this time I want to ask the general for my father's old troops and horses, and I hope the general will agree!"

Sun Ce no longer had any hope for being a governor.

After he captured Kuaiji, he took over as the prefect of Kuaiji without Yuan Shu opening his mouth. Now both places are under his control.

On the surface, he is still under Yuan Shu's command, but Yuan Shu's desire to control him is no longer as simple as before.

"Oh! It's easy!"

After hearing Sun Ce's request, Yuan Shu did not refuse.

Nothing more than some soldiers and horses.

Previously, he felt that Sun Ce was too young to take on any big responsibilities, so he never thought that the other party would give him such a big surprise this time.

Now Yuan Shu regards Sun Ce very highly.

If you can win over him, what do some soldiers and horses mean?

At this time, seeing that Yuan Shu did not refuse, Sun Ce turned around and sat back in his seat.

Yuan Shu raised his eyes and looked at Sun Ce again.

"If a master has a son like Sun Lang, why should he hate his death?"

This was said directly to Sun Ce. Upon hearing this, Sun Ce couldn't help but frown.

At this moment, in the Yamen Office, everyone under Yuan Shu could not help but glance at Sun Ce.

No one seemed to have expected that Yuan Shu valued Sun Ce so much this time.

Say these words like this.

It was obvious that he wanted to win over Sun Ce, and as long as Sun Ce nodded, Yuan Shu would be able to adopt Sun Ce as his adopted son.

Sun Ce's expression remained normal, as if he didn't understand the meaning.

If the other party had said such words when he had just surrendered to Yuan Shu, Sun Ce might have hesitated.

But now, it is naturally impossible for Sun Ce to make such a choice at this time.

No need.

"Thanks to the general's love, it's a good idea!"

Sun Ce replied calmly.

Yuan Shu was not in a hurry, he would definitely want to adopt someone as his son, and he would agree to it if he just opened his mouth.

Sun Ce is not Lu Bu!

But if Sun Ce opened his mouth and agreed at this moment, Yuan Shu would be a little weird.

After looking away from Sun Ce, Yuan Shu casually picked up a letter from the desk in front of him.

He looked at the people under his command.

Then he spoke to everyone.

"Do you know who sent this letter?"

Yuan Shu asked, and everyone shook their heads at this moment.

He didn't hesitate, and immediately unfolded the contents and spoke out.

"This letter was sent by Lu Bu's envoy from Bingzhou. He said that he planned to form an alliance with me."

"He made an agreement with me this time to attack Cao Cao together after the autumn harvest!"

"What do you think?"

Yuan Shu took his time and told Lu Bu the news in the letter.

Upon hearing this, Sun Ce, who was sitting below, did not react at all. He had no idea what Yuan Shu wanted to do.

When he returned to Shouchun this time, he just wanted to take his father's old troops with him as soon as possible, and then go directly to Kuaiji and other places.

On the contrary, it might be possible to attack Xuzhou.

"My lord, what do you mean?"

After Yuan Shu finished speaking, the people below did not rush to speak. At this time, someone asked Yuan Shu.

After all, Yuan Shu's personality is somewhat different from that of Cao Cao and others.

At this time, Yuan Shu was able to discuss this letter, and he had already made a decision in his mind.

After Yuan Shu expressed his thoughts, it was not too late for them to discuss.

Hearing someone say this, Yuan Shu smiled and spoke.

"Lu Bu's proposal is good. I intend to form an alliance with him. This time, Cao Cao will be like Dong Zhuo back then."

"This general intends to join Lu Bu in the south and north to attack Cao Cao and save the emperor!"

For Yuan Shu, it doesn't matter whether he saves the emperor or not.

Now that Cao Cao has grown bigger, he has long been unhappy with him.

As for Lu Bu's proposal, it was reluctant.

The key is that Yuan Shao has been attacking Lu Bu now, and everyone knows about Yuan Shao.

There is nothing wrong with cooperating with Lu Bu.

Anyway, Yuan Shu is extremely happy to engage Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.

What's more, now that he wants to expand his power, Xuzhou occupied by Cao Cao is the place he must win.

As soon as Yuan Shu finished speaking, Yan Xiang, the counselor below, couldn't help but speak out.

"My lord, no!"

"That Lu Bu has both ends. Don't trust him easily. He was initially under Ding Yuan's command, but later defected to Dong Zhuo and killed Ding Yuan!"

"Afterwards, this man killed Dong Zhuo and took refuge with Wang Yun!"

"Taking all these details into account, although this person is brave and brave, he is actually a villain!"

Yan Xiang did not agree with Yuan Shu's alliance with Lu Bu.

His point of view directly points out that Lu Bu is not a reliable candidate. If he forms an alliance with the other party, it may drag them down.

After hearing such advice, the expression on Yuan Shu's face did not change much.

At this time, Liu Xun, the counselor below, also stepped forward.

However, his opinions were somewhat different from Yan Xiang's.

"My lord, I have the same opinion as you!"

"This time we occupy Yangzhou and other places, but Lu Bu occupies the land of Bingzhou!"

"Between these two places, there is Sili, and Yanzhou, Xuzhou and other places are separated from each other, so they do not have much influence on us!"

"Just like in the pre-Qin period, the Qin State made close contacts with distant enemies!"

"Right now, my lord and Lu Bu have similar interests, so we might as well cooperate!"

After Liu Xun finished speaking, Yuan Shu nodded.

His thoughts were similar to those of the other party, precisely because Lu Bu was far away from him.

The two are united, but in the final analysis they are fighting independently and do not have much influence on each other.

If marching against Cao Cao together can be effective, it would be the best thing.

As Liu Xun spoke, all the advisers under Yuan Shu spoke frankly.

Most people agreed with the cooperation and alliance with Lu Bu.

Seeing this situation, Yan Xiang had no choice but to do anything.

For Yuan Shu at the moment, it is indeed profitable to cooperate with Lu Bu.

Having distant friendship with Lu Bu would, firstly, allow him to confront Yuan Shao, and secondly, it would have no influence on Huainan and other places.

Talking about falling to the ground is just a slogan for alliance!

It was amazing, so he gave Lu Bu some support. This was nothing to Yuan Shu.

If he can have an influence on Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu already feels good in his heart.

…

At this time, after the discussion in the Yamen Office was completed, Sun Ce spoke to Yuan Shu and left the Yamen Office by himself.

Not far away, Sun Ce was stopped by someone.

This person was Sun Jian's old subordinate. After Sun Ce came to Shouchun, he immediately rushed over and glared at Sun Ce.

"General, this time the general has occupied Wu County, Kuaiji and other places, why bother to come to Shouchun again!"

"General An, why don't you break away from Yuan Shu!"

The visitor asked, and upon hearing this, Sun Ce led him to an uninhabited alley.

He looked towards the other party.

"Ce feels that now is not the time, let alone you and other generals under Yuan Shu's command, how can I abandon you and go alone!"

For Sun Ce, although he relied on his own ability to capture Wujun and other places.

But in the final analysis, if he had not surrendered to Yuan Shu, he would not be able to do such a thing now.

It was with the name given to him by Yuan Shu that he could recruit troops along the way.

There will be a chance to capture Kuaiji later...

If he had just taken over Wujun and other places and separated himself from Yuan Shu, how would the people of the world view him at that time?

He knows his own affairs well.

Although these territories were won by himself, they have little to do with Yuan Shu.

However, in the eyes of the Han people, Sun Ce is still a subordinate of Yuan Shu.

Breaking up with Yuan Shu now is not a good choice.

Whether it's in terms of reputation or power.

It is not difficult for Yuan Shu to control him.

Once he makes a choice, Yuan Shu will not go to crusade against Cao Cao, but he will lead an army to crusade against him, Sun Ce.

At that time, no one in the world will say anything.

Even the hearts of the people and soldiers under his command may not necessarily think of him as they do now.

Things in the future still need to be planned slowly.

Sun Ce didn't say much about Sun Jian's subordinates in front of him.

After the latter understood it, he just told Sun Ce that these veteran soldiers were all facing Sun Ce.

The two renewed their old relationship and then parted ways.

Sun Ce went to Shouchun's temporary residence to rest. On the other side, Sun Jian's old subordinates returned and began to tell the news about Sun Ce to their colleagues.

When Yan Sunce did not give up on them, everyone was in high spirits.

…

at the same time.

Xuchang, inside the newly built school.

Xi Yu, Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia and others were sitting in the school garden at this time.

Xi Yu flipped over the message that had just been delivered from outside, and couldn't help but murmured something at the corner of his mouth.

"Lu Bu has formed an alliance with Yuan Shu!"

Since Lu Bu lost Chen Gong as his adviser, Xi Yu thought that Lu Bu would be silent after withdrawing from Bingzhou.

I never thought that the other party would choose Yuan Shu to form an alliance at this time.

It seems that Lu Bu is not without any brains, or perhaps there is a new counselor beside Lu Bu.

There are many talented people in this world, some of whom have made a name for themselves in this era, and some of whom have never made a name for themselves.

It's nothing more than not meeting the right person.

Regarding Lu Bu's current plan to form an alliance with Yuan Shu, Xi Yu didn't have much opinion at the time.

Counting the time, Yuan Shu's heart has begun to swell at this time.

As for the other side, Sun Ce had already captured Wu County and other places, and the opponent had now made a name for himself.

In the previous episode, Xu Gong came to the imperial court and said that Sun Ce was a hero, similar to Xiang Ji, and should be favored by others.

The intention was to summon Sun Ce to return to the capital.

He also said that if Sun Ce was ordered to return, he would have to return it, and if the court left Sun Ce alone, he would definitely become the court's formidable enemy.

After these remarks, Sun Ce's name became famous throughout Xuchang.

Nowadays, the name of Little Overlord is quite famous.

"What does Fengxiao think of Sun Ce?"

After looking away from the news in his hand, Xi Yu raised his head and glanced at Guo Jia, who was sitting in front of him with a somewhat cynical posture.

That is to say, the school was almost ready now, so he brought Guo Jia back from a certain restaurant with Xi Zhicai.

Otherwise, this guy wouldn't be sitting here right now.

It is inevitable that he will end up drunk and dreaming somewhere.

At this moment, after hearing Xi Yu's question, Guo Jia frowned slightly.

Then he grinned lightly.

"When I look at him, I don't have anything to worry about. Sun Ce is light and unprepared. Although he has many followers, he is no different from walking alone in the Central Plains.

I think if someone is targeting it, all it takes is one assassin.

If an assassin lies in wait, one person will be the enemy of the enemy.

From what I can see, this person will die at the hands of a common man one day. "

This was so true that Xi Yu couldn't help but look at Guo Jia after hearing it.

Guo Jia's vision is sometimes really sharp.

If he said these words at this time, who would have thought that Sun Ce would die because of them in the future!

If I remember correctly, it was Xu Gong's disciples who ambushed Sun Ce while he was hunting, and killed the little overlord with one arrow.

Who would have thought of this?

Sun Ce's bravery was stronger than that of his father, but the arrogance in his heart was also a bit strong.

Plus, this guy has come along all the way, except for a little bit of a rough start.

The rest of the things went so smoothly!

There was also Zhou Yu on the side to give advice. If he had not died young, he might have been a formidable enemy to both Cao Cao and Liu Bei.

Of course, if Sun Ce was alive, in the original history, whether Liu Bei could get up or not would still be one thing.

However, for Xi Yu, Sun Ce still has his role in it.

For Sun Ce and Yuan Shu, it was a powerful medicine and a poison.

After Guo Jia finished speaking, Xi Yu nodded: "Feng Xiao and I have the same idea!"

"Sun Ce has nothing to fear!"

"However, I heard that Sikong seems to be interested in wooing Sun Ce?"

After Cao Cao returned in early July, he soon learned about Sun Ce's affairs.

After Xu Gong reported to the court, Cao Cao was not in a hurry to recruit Sun Ce to Xuchang on behalf of the court.

But his intention to win over Sun Ce was extremely obvious.

"Mr. Cao, I have been thinking about sending an envoy to see Sun Ce for the past two days!"

Xi Zhicai said casually on the side.

Hearing this, Xi Yu felt a little moved.

Originally, he was thinking about finding an opportunity to meet with Sun Ce and give him some advice so that he could hand over the imperial seal that killed Sun Jian at home as soon as possible.

Let that guy Yuan Shu proclaim himself emperor quickly!

Now, Cao Cao plans to send an envoy to see Sun Ce, which is a good opportunity.

Xi Yu couldn't help but have some thoughts in his heart.

Do you want to act as the messenger yourself and go see Sun Ce?
