() Regarding Yuan Shu's words, Zhou Yu had no doubts. If a monarch does not have the ability to know people, then his achievements will definitely not be too high. Judging from his performance just now, Yuan Shu is obviously not in the list.

Seeing Zhou Yu's silence, Yuan Shu felt a pity in his heart. Zhou Yu's accomplishments in the navy are unparalleled, and he is proficient in various strategies. It is a rare talent, but it is a pity that the two sides have different positions.

"It would be great if they (Zhou Yu and Sun Ce) got to know each other later!" Yuan Shu thought with regret.

Zhou Yu came back to his senses and sighed: "The general is indeed right!"

Yuan Shu smiled and said, "It's rare that Gong Jin can see through it."

After a pause, he said solemnly: "If the top and bottom are not of one mind, why do you speak out? Gong Jin will go by himself. Even if you and I meet on the battlefield someday, I will never regret it."

Lu Su couldn't bear it any longer, stood up and said, "General! I'm sincerely serving you, so don't be suspicious. In the past, Sun Bofu wanted to seek dominance, and Gong Jin also persuaded him, but he didn't listen, and his family died. Afterwards, Gong Jin was heartbroken for many days, but now he's looked away, and I hope the general will see clearly."

"Oh?" Yuan Shu was a little surprised. Lu Su is a gentleman, so he wouldn't be able to deceive him.

Turning to Zhou Yu, he saw that his face was calm, and there was nothing unusual about it.

"Could it be that he..." Yuan Shu's face was uncertain, and he hesitated in his heart.

After a long time, Yuan Shu smiled slightly and said, "I don't know if Gong Jin can tolerate other people's surveillance?"

Zhou Yu said indifferently: "Yu has already expected this matter, but it is arranged by the general."

"Okay!" Yuan Shu was overjoyed, and said, "So Gong Jin will set off on this day, and go to Chaohu Lake to help Generals Jiang and Zhou to train their navy."

Speaking of this, Zhou Yu hesitated for a moment, and said: "Forget it! Gong Jin is very generous, and the military affairs are still controlled by Gong Jin! I will write a letter and order the two generals Jiang and Zhou to take orders from you."

Zhou Yu was shocked, and sighed in his heart: "Yuan Shu knows people so well, Bo Fu's defeat is not unfair!"

Immediately, Zhou Yu got up abruptly, and bowed solemnly: "Zhou Yu respectfully obeys my lord's order!"

"Master" is a complete expression of Zhou Yu's attitude.

A smile appeared on the corner of Yuan Shu's mouth, he turned to Lu Su, and said, "Zijing joins the staff department, and joins Yuantu and Gongda to make suggestions."

Lu Su was overjoyed and bowed: "Lu Su accepts orders!"

"Hahahaha!" Having received two great talents, Yuan Shu felt refreshed physically and mentally, and couldn't help laughing out loud.

Zhou Yu and Lu Su also showed smiles, especially Lu Su, who was happy from the bottom of his heart. Yuan Shu was able to accommodate Zhou Yu, and a huge rock in his heart finally fell to the ground.

At that moment, after Yuan Shu encouraged them, he asked the two of them to go down to rest.

After the two left, Yuan Shu narrowed his eyes and thought, "I don't know if Zhou Yu is sincere this time!"

Tolerance from the outside and taboo from the inside cannot be avoided by any monarch, and Yuan Shu is no exception.

After thinking for a while, Yuan Shu ordered his servants to pass orders to Jia Xu to closely monitor Zhou Yu and Lu Su.

Immediately, Yuan Shu ignored the matter and concentrated on preparing to march into Yuzhang.

At the end of February, Yuan Shu once again convened civil and military discussions.

"After February, I will lead my troops to the south. Are you ready?" Yuan Shu sat on the main seat with a golden sword, his eyes glanced sharply at the crowd below.

In the end, Yuan Shu's eyes fell on Feng Ji. Although Feng Ji had never commanded troops, he arranged all the deployment of the army.

Feng Ji straightened his clothes and came out and said: "My lord, don't worry, the food and grass have been shipped to Poyang in January. General Wei Yan also knows that the lord will go south soon, and set aside a place for the army to station, just waiting for the lord to arrive."

"Very good!" Yuan Shu praised, turned to Jia Xu, and ordered, "Wenhe! Send an order to Xiangyang and order Wenpin to go south to confuse Liu Biao."

"No!" Jia Xu agreed, and silently backed away.

After finishing the instructions, Yuan Shu set up a banquet to entertain everyone.

After enjoying the delicious food and wine, everyone dispersed one after another, preparing to march into the army.

"Jingzhou, Jingzhou! It really gives me a headache!" In fact, Yuan Shu knew clearly that it was almost impossible to decide Jingzhou in a single battle, even with Jia Xu's help.

"I'm afraid this battle will be counted in years!" Yuan Shu thought helplessly.

The situation in the north is changing rapidly, Cao Cao and Liu Bei are by no means idle people, Yuan Shu really doesn't want to delay in the south for too long, although he has nailed two nails in the north (Wancheng, Runan), he still can't rest assured.

"Three years! This war must be ended within three years and the south must be unified." Yuan Shu's eyes flashed with determination.

At the end of February, Yuan Shu was ready to lead his army south in a few days.

At this moment, news came from Chang'an that Li Jue and Guo Si had broken up.

Emperor Xian has always been very dissatisfied with his situation, and wanted to leave the prison of Chang'an, so he listened to Yang Biao's words and used tricks to drive a wedge between Li and Guo, making them turn against each other.

Unfortunately, the development of the situation far exceeded Xiandi's expectations.

Li Jue and Guo Si really turned against each other as they thought, but Emperor Xian underestimated the courage of the two of them, and they actually fought directly in Chang'an City.

Right now, the city of Chang'an is in chaos. Li and Guo have robbed the emperor and hundreds of officials, and neither of them is willing to give in.

After Yuan Shu learned about it, he suddenly thought, and thought to himself: "I almost forgot about this! It seems that Emperor Xian escaped from Luoyang in this year. Hmm... Is it June or July?"

Yuan Shu couldn't remember the specific situation clearly, but he didn't care about it.

"This expedition is really just right, there are enough excuses not to meet the big trouble of Emperor Xian. Hehe!" Yuan Shu felt a little complacent.

What Yuan Shu didn't expect was that Lu Su advised him to postpone going south and send troops to Chang'an to save Emperor Xian.

Not only that, Lu Su's proposal also got the support of Zhang Hong and others.

"My lord! Although the world is in chaos now, and the princes from all over the country no longer obey the imperial court, but the power of the Han Dynasty is still there for more than 400 years, the lord will take the Emperor Xian into his own hands, and take the emperor to order the world." Zhang Hong's argument is indeed very reasonable. Even Feng Ji and Xun You quite agree.

"It's really good to take the emperor to order the world, but it also depends on the safety of the emperor." Yuan Shu said lightly.

"Huh?" Zhang Hong was surprised, and cupped his hands and said, "The Son of Heaven is too young to be in charge of the government. My lord can act as an agent for the time being. As for the future...it depends on the situation. After all, the world has experienced a great chaos. I'm afraid I can't stand the chaos."

Zhang Hong's words were very meaningful, depending on the situation, implying that Yuan Shu could replace him, and the people could not accept it. It meant that the people in the world would no longer support Emperor Xian after suffering hardships. If Yuan Shu could calm the world, the people would naturally support him.

Yuan Shu shook his head, and said: "Zigang said that the Han Dynasty has been in the world for 400 years, and the remaining prestige is still there. This is very reasonable. Because of this, I don't want to accept the Emperor of Han. There are many loyal officials in the Han Dynasty, how can I accept it?" Am I alone in charge of the court?"

In history, Emperor Xian and his loyal "running dog" Dong Cheng made bloody edicts, and then tried to contact the head of the country to Fu Wan. Fortunately, Cao Cao was lucky, otherwise Emperor Xian would have been plotted to death.

Yuan Shu was not sure that his luck was better than Cao Cao's, so he kept a respectful distance from Emperor Xian.

Zhang Hong also said, if the emperor has an imperial edict, you don't have to pay attention to it, everything will be dealt with after I return. "

"No!" Seeing Yuan Shu's firm attitude, Zhang Hong had no choice but to accept the order.

"Xiandi is really troublesome!" After being annoyed by Zhang Hong for no reason, Yuan Shu was very depressed.

After thinking for a while, Yuan Shu thought: "It seems that we have to leave early!"

So, before March came, Yuan Shu mobilized an army of [-] and headed straight to Poyang.
