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

Ah!compensation?

What compensation do you take?He also said that he would not do deception. What is this but deception?
Sinkhole!
Sun Ce's head was filled with smoke, he never thought that Xi Yu would do such a shameless thing.

The point is that he didn't say it earlier, all the ripe seeds are planted in the soil now, so what's the point of talking about it?

Is it possible to dig it all up and replant it?Isn't this a waste of time?

Compared with time, what is that little compensation?
You know, the later you plant the grain, the later the autumn harvest will be. If the grain really waits until winter is approaching to start harvesting, it will not be much better than the current crop failure.

"Sheng Guogong, you... you are really going too far."

"Don't worry, we belong to different camps, and it's inevitable for me to be prepared."

Xi Yu waved his hand, disapproving of this, and then said with a smile: "Besides, it's not that there is no solution, it depends on how you choose."

"What does that mean?"

Sun Zhizhi looked at Xi Yu defensively, always feeling that what he said would cause him to lose for no reason, and he didn't know what to do.

"As we all know, the six counties in Jiangdong were occupied by you, Sun Ce, who surrendered to Yuan Shu in order to inherit the unfinished business of your father Sun Jian. In the end, in desperation, you chose to lead more than a thousand of your father's subordinates, and crossed the river to flatten Jiangdong."

"This is the foundation of your grandson's fortune. I won't touch it. What's more, his father, Sun Jian, is also someone whom we all admire."

"Compared to Cao Cao's defeat in Bianshui, Yuan Shao's hesitation, the jujube coalition collapsed, and the people of the world to stop and watch, his solitary battle made Dong Zhuo, who despises the world, rush to the west like a light on his back. He is a well-deserved hero Haojie."

"That's right, as long as you are willing, the Su family can live in Jiangdong forever, add another six counties, and all the land in the seven counties can be the root of your Sun family's development!"

"It's just that, after you and I cooperated to win Jingzhou, apart from Jiang Xia, there is no place for your grandson's family anymore!"

"Liu Bei is just a man trying to catch fame, and the title of the so-called uncle is just a superficial thing. To me, it's like a dying person, without any threat."

"But for you and others, it's quite different, especially when the whole Jiangdong has no harvest this year, guess what they will do?"

"Furthermore, if you don't want to cooperate with me, then the caravan from the Qianzhuang may not come to Jiangdong. At that time, even if Liu Bei doesn't make a move, you will have no place to buy surplus grain. After a long time, the people of Jiangdong How it will feel, I don't know."

"It's just that if they are really about to starve to death, I, Xi Yu, couldn't bear the people starving to death everywhere, so I specially transported a large amount of food and grass here for relief. Presumably, I will be loved by the people of Jiangdong."

"At that time, I don't know who else the Sun family brothers will remember."

After Xi Yu finished speaking, she shrugged her shoulders, quite innocently.

Anyway, he was right, and the emperor Liu Xiequan listened to his "little uncle", and if he really wanted to save the people in Jiangdong, he would naturally get their support.

With the support of the people, wouldn't it be all the same if you raised your arms casually?People with lofty ideals can completely use them for themselves. If they want to go to Qingxu Erdi, which everyone in the world dreams of, it is not impossible!
This alone must be able to attract many righteous men from all over the world. As for the people in Jiangdong after the disaster, I am afraid that they have sharpened their heads and want to settle in the land of Qingxu!
And without the people of Jiangdong, is Jiangdong still Jiangdong?

At that time, without Jiangdong's Sun family brothers, how would they deal with themselves?
Still the same sentence, the foundation determines the height of the building, and water can carry a boat or capsize it.

Although under the governance of your Sun family, the lives of the people in Jiangdong are still passable.

But if the people still have a better regime and life, who is willing to live a "hard life"?Especially after going through the food panic.

Thinking of this, Sun Ce clenched his fists angrily.

If it wasn't for the fact that there were too many people present, he was afraid that he would not be able to hold back his demeanor, and he would directly pounce on and bite off a piece of flesh from the other party's body.

It's really that Xi Yu's scheme is too insidious, and the abacus beads almost hurt his face.

But if you really say that this is a conspiracy, the other party is quite outspoken, but such a shady scheme cannot be regarded as an overt conspiracy.

It's just a clever grasp of Jiangdong's lifeline and realization of it through food.

As his eyes on Xi Yu remained unchanged for a long time, the atmosphere in the room gradually stagnated.

Sun Ce, who was only thinking about ways to break the situation, didn't notice these.

But after thinking about it, he couldn't think of any better solution except for the method Xi Yu said.

Even if his legs are healthy, he is not sure about facing Xi Yu, let alone now?
If the people of Jiangdong lose the hearts of the people in this situation, the huge foundation of their Sun family will basically be destroyed. This is impossible!
But if you just compromise like this, you will completely lose the qualification to compete in the world, and it seems that you are quite sorry for the last wishes of your ancestors.

Or... find a way to keep Xi Yu here?
To be honest, long before the banquet started, he ordered people to ambush nearly ten thousand elite soldiers around the main hall calmly.

The more than 3000 elite soldiers standing around seemed to be standing guard to protect the safety of everyone, but in fact they were the first guarantee after the failure of the peace under Sun Ce.

As for the [-] elite soldiers in Jian'an City and the [-] soldiers camped outside the city, they were the second and third backups he prepared.

As long as there is a war in the main hall, they will be able to arrive here in the shortest time to encircle and suppress Xi Yu and others!

Thinking of this, Sun Ce, who had calmed down a little, thought about it, and asked with a fierce look in his eyes: "What if...you can't go back to Qingxu?"

"This is even easier!"

Xi Yu didn't need to answer this question at all. A young Confucian scholar who was sitting behind Guo Jia got up decisively, without any panic under the gaze of everyone.

Standing still, he took out a scroll from his sleeve.

Only when it was completely unfolded did everyone know that this is a map of the sea!
Although I can't recognize where the sea area is, the detailed description and depiction on the painting give people a sense of ignorance.

"Also ask Marquis Wu to take a closer look!"

Jia Ji smiled and walked to the center of the hall, and gradually approached Sun Ce.

He stretched out his hands and stood the whole scroll in front of him so that Sun Ce could have a closer look.

This made Sun Ce very suspicious.

what?Are the young people of today already so bold?

Not only was he not afraid of facing himself, but he moved forward with a smile on his face.

You know, even if you have a disability, you are still a fierce general who has been on the battlefield and killed the enemy!
Ordinary literati would be intimidated by his aura when they saw him, but this young man in front of him didn't seem to be afraid at all.

There was Huang Xu in the front, and this young man in the back. The young people taught by Qingxu Land are really different.

Jia Ji didn't care whether his eyes were inexplicable or strange.

He looked at Sun Ce with a grin, and said, "Look, Marquis Wu, this is the waters outside Jian'an City. Sailor Ta Xing and Sheng Huang are moored here. If you have any malicious intentions, you don't need to wait until midnight. The [-] people on board The navy will arrive at Jian'an!"

"Besides, there are also [-] soldiers in the city of Shouchun, which came down from Hefei, and they will arrive here in less than five days!"

"Oh, by the way, the 30 troops in Qingxu and Xuzhou have nothing to do now. If you want, they can come to Jiangdong for a round at any time!"

"You know, the geographical location of Qingxu Land is much better than that of Jiangdong, and there is no worries at all!"

"So... are you sure you want to keep me here?"

Seeing Jia Ji's mean look, Xi Yu shook her head with a smile.

Zhang Zhao couldn't answer the conversation because he didn't know much about Qingxu Navy.

Sun Ce had heard Lu Su talk about the strength of these two armies, but he had never seen it with his own eyes, so he was a little arrogant,
But before he could speak, Lu Su, who had been paying attention to the topographic map of the sea area, stood up first.

As the only person in Jiangdong who had seen those two navy divisions, he had no other thoughts except fear and fear.

Therefore, it is very clear that this battle must never be waged!

Taking Jiangdong's current situation as an example, once a war breaks out, the entire Jiangdong will face a devastating blow if it is a little careless.

Even the opponent doesn't need to dispatch a navy to end the battle in person, as long as the water system in the adjacent Jiangdong sea area is completely surrounded, and then the passing merchant ships are blocked, just because of the fact that there is no food, within a year, Jiangdong, which is in prison, will take the lead on its own. collapse.

If he wants to understand this, how dare he confront Xi Yu head-on?

His back was soaked in sweat for a moment, and he said decisively: "Mr. Sheng, what is the meaning of this? We never thought of going to war with you!"

"My lord, when I learned that you are coming to Jiangdong, I have been looking forward to it for a long time. I started preparing for today's banquet more than ten days ago. The whole territory even knew that my lord's younger sister is about to marry Sheng Guogong a month ago. I am very happy. Get inspired."

"Many of them bought red lanterns on their own initiative, just to congratulate the two, and wish them a happy marriage for a hundred years. When such a grand event is coming, how can Jiangdong be malicious?"

"On the contrary, you went south and didn't see the slightest sincerity. When you went south, you didn't forget to lead the army. You are full of malice!"

He bent over so that people couldn't see his face clearly, but his voice was low and urgent, like the tone of disbelief after being deceived.

Hearing this, Xi Yu glanced at Lu Su lightly, then curled the corners of his lips, looked at Sun Ce and said softly, "You say I'm not sincere? Then, Bo Fu, I don't know where his brother Sun Zhongmou is now?"

"I'm taking care of my old mother at home. My mother has become more and more unwell in recent years, and today she can't do without the doctor at all. After welcoming you, Zhong Mou hurried back to take care of you."

Sun Ce had already made up his mind on this question, so it was quite natural to answer it seamlessly.

Long before Xi Yu came, he had already discussed with Zhong Mou how to speak, just to prevent the other party from exploring.

"Oh? I'm not feeling well? In this spring season, your mother is actually sick? I don't know why?"

Xi Yu approached Sun Ce suspiciously, and the other party immediately took a sip of wine to ease the embarrassment, and then calmly said: "This doctor should be investigating, and I think there will be results in a few days."

But even if he pretended to be indifferent, he couldn't escape Xi Yu's piercing eyes.

He well controlled the subtle expressions on his face, but the slight movement of his nose and the subconscious dodge of his eyes were obviously not telling the truth.

"Since this is the case, I suggest that Bo Fu should find another doctor. Mrs. Wu is a well-known loyal and virtuous woman. She raised the four sons of General Polu by herself. She must not be ruined by such a quack doctor."

"It just so happens that I have studied with Hua Tuo as a teacher, and I have learned some Qihuang techniques. You might as well go see the old lady. If she is really seriously ill, you can write to Hua Tuo in time and ask him to come here to have a look."

After saying that, he stood up, making Sun Ce's heart skip a beat, not knowing what to do.

"Why? Bo Fu still hasn't left? Don't delay the old lady's condition!"

Seeing the other party sitting still, Xi Yu lowered his head and smiled speciously, embarrassing Sun Ce to the extreme.

Mother...
What's wrong with this now?

How could Xi Yu play his cards unreasonably?Ordinary people ask, isn't it possible to end here and start the next topic?
How could he hold on to it?

Not only do you have to ask, but you have to see it for yourself. Is it possible to see it?

Doesn't it reveal everything at a glance?

"This... this mother——"

"Okay, the old lady's illness is a big deal, how can I wait here to ramble and stagnate? Everything will be discussed after I see the old lady!"

After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand to pull Sun Ce to stand up, with a bit of blame in his words.

At this moment, the tense atmosphere was broken up by Sun Ce's embarrassment and Xi Yu's persistence because of what Xi Yu and Jia Ji said.

Suddenly, everything becomes easier.

"Mr. Sheng, this matter cannot be rushed. Let's talk about it in a few days!"

Sun Ce didn't dare to get up, and there was a bit of bitterness on his face.

If I let my mother know that I cursed her at the banquet, with the character of the old lady, I must pull out my own skin!

Being able to bring up the four of them, the physical condition of the old lady can be imagined.

On weekdays, he walks like flying, lively, playing mahjong and fighting landlords with his colleagues from time to time, and his life is much happier than his son.

Speaking of which, mahjong and playing cards are good things for leisure and entertainment from Qing and Xu.

Since it was brought here by businessmen, it has been deeply loved by the common people.

On weekdays, women from high-ranking officials and noble families like to gather at a table to play with these things, and ordinary people will also play to relax after their daily work or in their spare time.

It's just that even if they love these small recreational games, they can't let Xi Yu see them.

Not on the premise that he also said that his mother was seriously ill.

Isn't this killing him?

"If you don't go today, when will you go?"

Xi Yu shook his head, with a righteous look on his face, and said: "Bo Fu, that's your mother, and she's bedridden with a serious illness, it's wrong for you not to go and do your filial piety, why stop me from going to see her?" ?”

"You know, I will be a family with you soon. Shang Xiang's mother is naturally also my mother. How can it be justified not to visit?"

"Bo Fu, you and I are in the same family, how can you watch me be that unfilial person?"

Sun Ce was dumbfounded by his righteous words.

How come it has risen to the point of filial piety?

He didn't want people to see his mother simply because he didn't want her to know that he cursed her, and he didn't want Xi Yu to know that he lied to him!

If this really happened, wouldn't he be indifferent and offend everyone?
no!Never!
"But...but it's so inconvenient for my mother, it's really inappropriate to visit today!"

Sun Ce's voice suddenly became sharper, and he felt very uneasy, but no matter how uneasy he was, he would definitely not ask Xi Yu to visit his mother!

"Since uncle doesn't want me to visit, then forget it."

After all, Xi Yu sighed deeply, then patted Sun Ce on the shoulder, and said kindly: "Let's talk about the topic just now, uncle, my sincerity in coming to Jiangdong is no less than yours! "

"I didn't bring those soldiers and horses on purpose, but... no matter where I go, I have to be accompanied by someone. Although I am very skilled, I don't panic when facing thousands of troops."

"But as Sheng Guogong, it's not too much to bring some guards with you when you go out, right? I'm the only Sheng Guogong in the world today!"

"Hey?"

Sun Ce blinked his eyes, a little confused.

He is not used to being called so kindly suddenly, what should he do?
Also, you are the only Sheng Guogong today, am I not the only Wuhou?Isn't it just that the official position is lower than you, the capable people and righteous men under you are less than you, and the territory you belong to is poorer than you...

Thinking about it, Sun Ce suddenly felt a little pitiful, and the way he looked at Xi Yu became very strange.

"What's going on here?"

Xi Yu didn't understand, so he glanced at Sun Ce, then turned his head to look at everyone, and said with a half smile: "It's just that even the only Sheng Guogong has things that are beyond my control."

"It's like the black and white cavalry, although they are all the first-class soldiers in the world taught by me. They are not only good at riding, shooting and hunting, but also proficient in concealment, strategy, and assassination... But this does not mean that They will be under my rule!"

"The black and white cavalry also have their own officers who are directly in command. To put it bluntly, except for the black and white cavalry that everyone around me has seen, the whereabouts of the other black and white cavalry are erratic, and even I don't know."

"It's just that... since I trained them myself, they are naturally only responsible for me. Wherever I want to be, they must be invisible."

"This is a rule that has been established since the establishment of the Black and White Cavalry. Even I can't change it. Another point is that since the Black and White Cavalry are all serving me, as long as they don't die, I can't die, and I won't die! "

"Bo Fu, do you still think about going to war?"

"I... this, I—"

Sun Ce's face was dark, but his lips didn't have any color.

He really wanted to go to war, but would he dare?

Originally, he wanted to give Xi Yu a bad start, but who would have thought that, instead, he was so frightened by the other party that he dared not move.

Under such circumstances, it seemed that there was only one choice he could make!
If he doesn't know the prestige of black and white knights, then his life is really in vain.

In the battle of Jizhou in the north, it was the black cavalry who assassinated Yuan Shu's countless soldiers and horses, and it was also the black cavalry who killed Yuan Shu's general Ji Ling. (end of this chapter)
