We agreed that you, a weak strategist, would fight against three heroes by yourself?
Chapter 162 Sun Ce: I was just thinking about watching that drama for a while
However, as soon as this idea came up, Xiyu dismissed it in the blink of an eye.
Wujun is still quite far away from Xuchang. There are mountains and rivers in between. If you want to go there, you need to take a lot of detours.
It takes some effort to talk less on the way, and now Xuchang School is less than two months away from the start of school.
This trip, just for Sun Ce, is a waste of time.
It would be better to write an edict asking Sun Ce to come to Xuchang by himself.
As for whether the other party dares to come, that is a matter of course.
Even if Sun Ce was a little afraid, he could write a letter in person and invite the other party to come to Xuchang.
Thinking about it, with his current reputation, Sun Ce would give him some face, right?
Thinking like this, Xi Yu completely gave up the idea of serving as an envoy to see Sun Ce.
"By the way, I heard that after Duke Cao heard about Sun Ce's deeds, he often called him a rogue."
"This statement is quite consistent!"
After hearing Xi Zhicai say that Cao Cao wanted to send an envoy to win over Sun Ce, Guo Jia then remembered the rumors he had heard these days and couldn't help but follow suit.
As soon as he said this, Xi Zhi turned his head and looked at Guo Jia faintly.
"You are quite well informed!"
"Fireworks and Liquor Alley, that's all the news. Do you think I like to go to those places just for drinking and sex?"
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 his eyes was particularly obvious.
I still don’t know who you are?
You Guo Fengxiao, why are you so shameless!
Did you go to that kind of place to get information? You just go there for the wine and sex.
Guo Jia didn't care at all about Xi Zhicai's disdain.
In the final analysis, there is not much difference between the two people.
Xi Yu looked at the expressions of the pair of friends next to him and couldn't help but chuckle.
The two are of the same kind, and there is no need for one to be stronger.
At this time, there was a gentle breeze in the garden.
Guo Jia squinted his eyes, looked around the school again, couldn't help but opened his mouth and murmured.
"This school built by Fengyi is quite interesting!"
Xi Yu asked him to serve in the school, but Guo Jia didn't have any objections.
He didn't bother to take part in the current world situation.
It would be nice to have a free place to recuperate.
"This school will open in two months. Guo Fengxiao, don't let me find anyone!"
Xi Yu said calmly to Guo Jia, who just smiled and accepted.
…
It's a mild summer day.
The weather in various parts of Dahan has begun to heat up significantly.
Within Xuchang, Cao Cao sent an emissary to Yilang Wangpu, carrying the emperor's edict, as an envoy to Wu County, also hoping to recruit Sun Ce.
Xi Yu immediately found Wang Pu and asked him to help him deliver 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 Yude's Sun Ce was now following Shouchun.
He rushed from Juchao County to Shouchun as soon as possible 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.
They defeated Zuo 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 great and he had tens of thousands of soldiers under his command.
The two immediately 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 position of prefect was replaced, Zhou Yu could only follow Zhou Shang to Shouchun.
Yuan Shu had been wooing Zhou Yu 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 could only ask Yuan Shu to resign and sit as the magistrate of Chao County.
Not long after Kankan took office, he originally planned to take the opportunity to return to Jiangdong to find Sun Ce.
Unexpectedly, Sun Ce would come to Shouchun at this time.
After learning about this, Zhou Yu went straight to Shouchun overnight and arrived two days later.
The first time he arrived in Shouchun, Zhou Yu went straight to Sun Ce's temporary residence.
There was no time to inform anyone.
Zhou Yu went straight to the house and walked quickly. When he arrived at the courtyard, he saw Sun Ce, shirtless and dancing with a spear in his hand.
While waving, there was a loud sound of wind.
"Bo Fu!"
Seeing this brother reminiscing about old times right in front of him, Zhou Yu's tone couldn't help but be a little excited.
After hearing the familiar voice, Sun Ce dropped the spear in his hand and his eyes fell on Zhou Yu.
"Gong Jin!"
Sun Ce took a few steps forward to meet him, and Zhou Yu also moved closer on his own initiative.
The two hugged each other, and Sun Ce couldn't help but laugh loudly.
"Gong Jin, why are you here!"
"I heard you went to Juchao County last time, and I originally planned to go find you after leaving Shouchun this time!"
"you?"
Sun Ce couldn't help but ask, and Zhou Yu grinned bitterly.
"I have already learned about your previous attack on Wu County. When I got you to come to Shouchun, I couldn't help myself, so I couldn't help but come here to find you!"
At this time, the two of them sat down in the courtyard.
Sun Ce asked someone to bring drinks from the back hall, picked up a pot and handed it to Zhou Yu.
"Gong Jin came just in time. I have something to discuss with you this time!"
"Um?"
Zhou Yu did not speak. After taking the wine bottle in his hand, he waited for Sun Ce to speak.
The latter did not pause, and then said: "Gong Jin, this time General Yuan plans to make an alliance with Lu Bu, and the two intend to attack Cao Cao."
"I have a premonition in my heart. It seems that it's not far away when I start to take action!"
Sun Ce felt this in his heart, but he had no scruples in front of Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu frowned when he heard this.
After he got Sun Ce in Shouchun this time, he came over immediately and had some thoughts in his mind.
Now that he heard Sun Ce say this, he didn't hide anything.
"To tell you the truth, Bo Fu, I have read a lot of the Han Dynasty newspapers and periodicals these days, and I heard that a school was established in Xuchang."
"And there was the Yuedan Review in the previous episode, so I really want to go to Xuchang to have a look!"
Zhou Yu had some unfinished words.
He actually wanted to meet the rumored Xi Fengyi.
It is said that he has extraordinary resourcefulness and talents.
Zhou Yu had already longed for him. If he hadn't considered that Sun Ce still needed his help at this time, he would have gone straight to Xuchang.
Now that Sun Ce has occupied Kuaiji and Wu Commandery, Zhou Yu feels a lot more at ease.
Now that he said these words, Dao didn't hesitate at all.
"Oh, Gongjin plans to go to Xuchang?"
"What about me?"
Sun Ce had some regrets on his face. To be honest, after seeing Zhou Yu appear in front of him, Sun Ce was extremely excited.
He wanted to take Zhou Yu back to Wu County with him, but he didn't expect that Zhou Yu would express his intention to go to Xuchang at this time.
"Haha, when did Bo Fu become so reserved?"
After seeing Sun Ce's expression, Zhou Yu couldn't help but chuckle.
Then his face couldn't help but become serious.
Seeing that there was no one else nearby, Zhou Yu spoke directly to Sun Ce.
"Bo Fu, I think that Yuan Shu is not a long-term person. You need to make plans early this time. Now that there are Wujun and Shouchun, it is the right time for development!"
"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 him bluntly.
Not to mention that there is a drama in Xuchang where Fengyi is in charge, and even the uncle and nephew of the Xun family in Yingchuan are not simple figures.
What's more, now all the soldiers are rushing towards Xuchang.
How can Lu Bu and Yuan Shu compare to the talented people under Cao Cao's command?
Furthermore, Xuchang still has the emperor in charge.
Cao Cao occupies the great righteousness of the imperial court.
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 aspirations you and I have in our hearts?"
"Of course I remember!"
After hearing Zhou Yu's question, Sun Ce nodded without hesitation.
Hearing this, Zhou Yu laughed: "In that case, it's okay to go to Xuchang later. This time I will follow you back to Wu County first!"
"To be honest, if you forget your ambition back then, I will inevitably go to Xuchang to join the rumored actor Fengyi!"
Zhou Yu made a joke.
When it comes to Xi Yu, Sun Ce is also a little curious.
According to the current rumors in the world, Naxi Fengyi is not only talented in intelligence, but also in terms of force.
For such a person, Sun Ce himself is curious.
In terms of intelligence, Sun Ce has no doubts, but force.
Sun Ce still wanted to see something in his heart.
At this moment, Sun Ce couldn't help but curl his lips when he heard that his good brother admired Xi Yu so much.
"That drama Fengyi's reputation is so great. I think Gong Jin's strategy is definitely no less than that of others!"
"Why belittle yourself so much?"
Sun Ce lifted his brother, and Zhou Yu waved his hand.
"Bo Fu, you should know that there are very few people in this world that I can admire!"
"As for Fengyi's talent, I admire him in my heart!"
"When I was in Juchao County this time, I kept checking the news about Xi Fengyi. An article on the Six Kingdoms in the Han Dynasty newspaper directly pointed to the current situation in the world!"
"Furthermore, its policies are now extremely effective in Yanzhou and Xuzhou. Even Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu in Hebei Province are now copying the policies."
"All these things show his talents, 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 these words, Sun Ce could not refute.
However, now that his brother could give up going to Xuchang and return to Wu County with him, he was deeply moved.
Warmth rose in his chest.
The two sat in front of the stone table in the courtyard, drinking wine one after another.
After a while, the two became very 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.
Under such circumstances, Sun Ce did not force it. It would be good if he could return with some of his father's generals.
Today, Sun Bi, Sun Xiang and others are still serving under Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu still has some trust in Sun Ce.
Mid July.
After Sun Ce and Zhou Yu had just returned to Wuxian, Wang Pu, the emissary who brought the edict from Xuchang, had also just arrived in Wuxian.
The visitor came from Xuchang, and Sun Ce immediately took Zhou Yu to invite him to the government office.
"I've met General Sun!"
"Meet Wang Yilang"
After Wang Pu arrived in Wu County, he did not act like a court envoy.
Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were also extremely polite.
After greeting each other, Sun Ce immediately invited the other party to take a seat.
"General Sun, this is the imperial edict appointing you!"
Wang Pu came up and got straight to the point and handed the imperial edict to Sun Ce directly.
After Sun Ce took it casually, he spread it out in front of Zhou Yu.
There is a letter on it.
He appointed Sun Ce as the Han Dynasty Cavalry Commander and inherited his father Sun Jian's title of Marquis of Wucheng.
Seeing the content, Sun Ce just frowned slightly.
He wanted to send him away even though he had the title of Cavalry Commander. Cao Cao looked down upon him a little too much.
After reading the edict, Sun Ce did not speak for the first time.
Seeing the other party's reaction, Wang Pu knew that the professional title given to him by Cao Sikong was a bit low.
This is unsatisfactory!
However, he had the right to act expediently on this trip, so he was not in a hurry.
At this moment, Sun Ce glanced at Wang Pu indifferently.
"May I ask Wang Yilang, what does Cao Sikong mean by this?"
This question is too direct. Logically speaking, the imperial edict was issued by the imperial court. No matter how dissatisfied Sun Ce is, what does it have to do with Cao Sikong?
But if you say these words directly, the meaning is already clear.
What Sun Ce meant was, I know this edict was given to me by you, Cao Cao, the Marquis of Sun Jian, but he didn't have any objections.
But he didn't want to take the title of Cavalry Commander!
Hearing this, Wang Pu was not surprised at all.
"Yuan Shu disrespects the imperial court. Sikong intends to let the general attack Yuan Shu. I wonder what the general thinks?"
Wang Pu didn't try to hide it at all, and directly said what Cao Cao told him before leaving.
Hearing this, Sun Ce curled up his lips.
Just a cavalry captain who wanted to get closer to Cao Cao and attack Yuan Shu would be looking down on him too much.
If Zhou Yu hadn't winked at him from the side, he would have directly kicked Wang Pu out.
"The Marquis of Wucheng is my father's title, and it is natural for me to inherit it. However, please inform Cao Sikong of the post of Cavalry Commander, I am sorry that I cannot accept it!"
Sun Ce spoke directly, and Wang Pu's eyebrows twitched.
"General, don't worry!"
"I have already obtained the general's wishes. Why not wait for me to go to the court and tell the general's feelings? I think the court will not treat the general badly!"
People who can serve as messengers are extremely knowledgeable.
After seeing Sun Ce's dissatisfaction, Wang Pu directly told him that he could help him.
Of course, he could even directly decide to give Sun Ce a general with no title, but after all, some things should not be too direct.
After hearing what Wang Pu said, Sun Ce smiled.
"So, let's wait for news from Wang Yilang!"
After the business was finished, Sun Ce didn't want to talk to Wang Pu anymore and wanted him to leave the office on his own.
Unexpectedly, Wang Pu was not in a hurry to leave at this time.
He casually took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Sun Ce.
"General, don't be impatient. This is a letter from the current imperial censor, Da Si Nong, to the general."
After handing Xi Yu's letter to Sun Ce, Wang Pu said goodbye.
Sun Ce looked at the letter in his hand and was not in a hurry to open it. After sending the other party out of the office, he turned back and followed Zhou Yu to look at each other.
Xi Yu’s letter to him.
This letter surprised Sun Ce somewhat.
Zhou Yu beside him was also a little curious that Xi Yu would write a letter to Sun Ce at this time.
What it said made him a little concerned.
"Bo Fu, here!"
Zhou Yu reminded Sun Ce, and the latter smiled after reading the letter.
"Haha, it seems like my reputation has already been known by that drama Fengyi."
"I want to see what he said in the letter he wrote to me!"
After casually tearing open the letter, there was actually not much content.
Xi Yu's book first listed Sun Ce's achievements in detail. To Xi Yu, this was just like having nothing to say and just dealing with errands.
After Sun Ce saw this, he couldn't help but feel a little excited.
This play of Fengyi is so familiar to him.
After the political achievements, Xi Yu talked about Sun Ce's merits in detail, quite praised him, and spoke like a relative or friend.
After reading the letter, Sun Ce was slightly stunned.
Zhou Yu beside him also finished reading.
This is just a letter to Sun Ce. If you look carefully, it doesn't say much.
However, this was written by Xi Fengyi.
"Bo Fu, Xi Yu invites you to visit Xuchang. What do you think?"
Zhou Yu had some doubts.
At this time, Xi Yu invited Sun Ce to Xuchang, but he couldn't understand it.
But this time Sun Ce has already caught Cao Cao's eyes.
If we go to Xuchang in an honest and fair manner, we may be trapped by this and it will be difficult to escape.
"What do you have in mind? Since he invited me, I just wanted to meet him for a while!"
Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu.
Originally, he had no intention of going to Xuchang. When Wang Pu was there just now, he said in his words that if Sun Ce was willing to go to Xuchang, Cao Cao would definitely attach great importance to it.
When the time comes, it will definitely not be as simple as being a Cavalry Captain.
But Sun Ce also understood that Cao Cao had no good intentions when he asked him to go to Xuchang.
Even if he went to Xuchang, it would be meaningless to be granted the title of general.
After all, whether he can come back then or not is one thing.
However, it was different when Xi Fengyi invited him.
This is not a business matter, but a private invitation.
Sun Ce was a little moved, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.
Furthermore, when he heard that Zhou Yu wanted to go to Xuchang a few days ago, the name Xiyu stuck in his heart.
At this time, the other party wrote to invite him, which was exactly in line with Sun Ce's wishes.
"Gong Jin, didn't you say you were going to Xuchang to have a look some time ago?"
"This time, I will accompany Gong Jin to have a look and meet the rumored play Fengyi for a while!"
"I would like to see if he has the power of heaven and man as rumored!"
When Sun Ce spoke, he already made a decision in his words.
