Chapter 7 Wind and Thunder Stirring Fourth Quarter February, Luoyang. Gao Gan, the prime minister of Chen Guo, and Xin Bi, the Taishou of Yingchuan County, had just sent the news of the failure to intercept Liu Chong, the king of Chen, to Luoyang, and the joint letter of Cao Cao, Tian Kai and Liu Bei also reached Yuan Shao's hands.

After reading the letter, Yuan Shao was very remorseful and angry. Cao Cao's unexpected blow not only put himself in passivity, but also pushed the general trend of the world to a dangerous situation.

Now, King Chen Liu Chong has arrived in Yanzhou, and it is a foregone conclusion that Cao Cao, Tian Kai, and Liu Bei will form an alliance to rebuild the imperial system, and the three-legged trend is about to take shape.

He not only lost the three major helpers of Cao Cao, Tian Kai and Liu Bei, but also lost the opportunity to rebuild the authority of the imperial system, not to mention the self-reliance of the Han Dynasty.

His indecision finally caused a catastrophe, and the process of hegemony was hit hard. What is particularly terrifying is that Cao Cao's deliberate promotion of the three-legged momentum will inevitably push the Han Dynasty into the abyss of collapse immediately, and the war will continue, and pacifying the world has become an unattainable dream.

Yuan Shao felt sorry for himself, sighed for a long time, and was at a loss for a while. Fu Zhu, Tian Feng and others gathered together to discuss countermeasures day and night.

Cao Cao's purpose was very clear, to use the re-establishment of the imperial system to gather the strength of various states and counties to fight against Li Hong, contain Yuan Shao, force Yuan Shao to give up his attempt to stand on behalf of the Han Dynasty, and find a way to survive for himself and the weaker forces such as Tian Kai and Liu Bei.

At the same time, it can also greatly weaken Yuan Shao's power, isolate Yuan Shao, and push Yuan Shao into a dilemma of trying to preserve his strength and achieve hegemony, and at the same time respecting the new emperor and joining forces with Cao Cao and others to fight against Li Hong.

At present, Yuan Shao has lost the best opportunity to re-establish the imperial authority and monopolize power. Past that

The "edict of inheritance" no longer has any effect, and he can no longer command the prefectures and counties. Secondly, Cao Cao, Tian Kai, and Liu Biao formed an alliance and have become an independent force.

And Yuan Shu didn't listen to Yuan Shao in the first place, as for whether Liu Biao will maintain a close relationship with Yuan Shao, it all depends on Yuan Shao's attitude towards the new emperor.

Yuan Shao's power was thus severely weakened. How can this passive situation be changed quickly? How to turn disadvantages into advantages?

How to achieve hegemony and calm the world? In order to appease the anger of the officials in Luoyang, Yuan Shao reluctantly killed Geng Bao, but in today's situation, Geng Bao's suggestion was put forward again.

It's really not good, the Han Dynasty is self-reliant, and the world is divided into three parts. Li Hong's usurpation is already a fact, and the reason why he still wants to set up a baby emperor and hold the eldest princess in his hand is purely to stabilize Hebei, unite the state and county officials south of the Yellow River, and establish a magnificent façade for pacifying the world.

What he actually wants to do, what he thinks in his heart, everyone in the world knows. The three alliances of Cao Cao, Tian Kai, and Liu Bei are not strong and cannot compete with Li Hong alone, and the three alliances must join forces with us to maintain the three-legged situation.

And the reason why they want to rebuild the imperial system before us is not for the sake of Zhongxing Han, but for their own survival, or in other words, for their own hegemony.

Sooner or later, these three alliances will have to fight and split over power and territory. Since the Han Dynasty has in fact overturned, the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty is in fact gone, and the prestige of the Han Dynasty is in fact gone, what are we still doing with this meaningless façade?

Perhaps Dai Han became self-reliant, tore the veil on the faces of all forces, and completely exposed the greedy and despicable faces of all forces, but could promote a three-legged and tripartite war more quickly.

In this way, we will be able to take full control of the initiative to pacify the world. This suggestion was immediately rejected Li Hong is strong, he also has a strong Hu iron cavalry as a backup, if he wants to stand on behalf of the Han Dynasty, the resistance is very small, but why didn't he do it?

He is a truth that a vulgar martial artist knows, will we not know? Dai Han self-reliance, that is, becoming the target of the public, will inevitably be spurned and besieged, and the outcome can be imagined.

Neither we nor the strength of the three alliances can compete with Li Hong alone, once we are defeated, the three-legged situation is broken, and the world is Li Hong's.

This is the reason why Cao Cao dared to form an alliance with the three families, openly weaken our power, and take the lead in rebuilding the imperial system in disregard of our threats.

He concluded that we would not dare to stand on our own behalf of the Han Dynasty, that we would be subject to that meaningless new Son of Heaven, and that we would join forces with him to fight against Li Hong.

Now if we want to change from passive to active, we must first take back the imperial authority and regain power, and secondly, we must severely damage Cao Cao, break his three alliances, and pull Tian Kai and Liu Bei back.

As long as the emperor is in hand, other forces such as Liu Biao in Jingzhou and Liu Zhang in Yizhou will naturally become our right-hand men.

The risk of regaining the imperial rule is too great, and it is easy to trigger a major war between the states and counties, giving Hebei a chance to sweep the world, so some people suggest that Cao Cao should be ignored altogether.

We have enough strength to build another emperor ourselves. There are three sons of heaven in the Han Dynasty, and the three-legged momentum can be achieved immediately, and whoever can hold on to the end will be able to own the world.

This suggestion was immediately rejected. There are three emperors in the Han Dynasty, and the three parties are enemies of each other, and the strongest Li Hong can be defeated individually, and it will not be long before we and the three alliances will be wiped out.

To regain the imperial rule, the first thing to do is to hit Cao Cao hard and destroy his three alliances. Yuan Shao and the officials of Luoyang racked their brains for this and devised a variety of plans, but in the end, they were forced to give up one by one due to various difficulties.

Tian Feng finally thought of Yuan Shu. When the words of Wei Wei and the five virtues were always spread throughout the states and counties, Yuan Shu also moved his mind.

Although Yuan Shao's strength is huge, he belongs to the concubine among the Yuan valves, and the real successor of the Yuan valve is Yuan Shu.

There are obviously many people who hold this opinion, and Yuan Shu's subordinates still follow Yuan Shu when Yuan Shu was very difficult, and no one turned their backs on him, which shows that there are still many people who support Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu and many of his subordinates believed that the Han Dynasty in the prophecy of Yu Wei

"Yuan's family" should be the head of the Yuan valve's family. In addition, in this proverb

"Tu Gao" came to Yuan Shu, not only

"Yuan Taotu is the ancestor of the Yuan family".

"Tu" and

"Journey" is a mutual holiday,

"Tu" is interpreted as the road, and the word Yuan Shu is exactly that

Highway. In other words, this proverb has clearly pointed out that the person who represents the Han is the Yuan Shu Yuan Highway of the Yuan family.

This explanation was accepted by many of Yuan Valve's supporters of Yuan Shu. But the current situation told Yuan Shu and his supporters that he wanted to stand on his own behalf of the Han, purely a swan song before his death, and he was killing himself.

Yuan Shao wanted to stand on behalf of the Han Dynasty but was forced to do it because of the situation, Yuan Shu had this mind but did not have the courage, but some people in Yuan Valve instigated and instigated the Yuan brothers to consider self-reliance from their own interests.

Since the Northern Xinjiang Army Chen soldiers were on the north bank of the Yellow River in Hedong, Yuan Shao had given up this extremely unwise approach, but Yuan Shu did not.

Now Sun Ce has helped him conquer two and a half counties of Yangzhou Jiangdong, and will soon defeat Liu Miao and Hua Xin to occupy all four counties in Jiangdong.

In this way, Yuan Shu has the entire territory of Yangzhou and the Yangtze River. He can attack the Central Plains when he advances, and he can defend Jiangdong when he retreats, and he has the strength to ascend the throne and become the emperor.

But the problem is that this strength is too fragile. Without Yuan Shao's support, he estimated that he would have passed the emperor's addiction, and then he would have been defeated.

If Yuan Shao can support him to ascend the throne and become emperor, the two forces will become one, and the strength will be extraordinary.

The two can first fight back and forth, occupy Jingzhou, then point to the Central Plains, occupy all the prefectures and counties south of the Yellow River, and finally fight with Hebei on both sides of the Yellow River.

Even if Li Hong can't be defeated, at least he can take the Yellow River as the boundary with Li Hong and stand in the north and south. Yuan Shu told Yuan Shao about his idea through some people in Yuan Valve, and he wanted to find out what Yuan Shao meant, so as to decide whether he wanted it or not

"Obey the order of heaven" and stand on behalf of the Han Dynasty. Yuan Shu has a grudge with Cao Cao and Liu Bei, and although he also has a grudge with Yuan Shao, they are brothers after all, and there are some things to discuss, and the grudges between each other can be resolved after the world is calm.

Yuan Shu thinks so, but what about Yuan Shao? Today, Jiujiang County and Lujiang County, which Yuan Shu owns, are close to Runan County and are connected to the foundation of Yuan Valve, so he has always maintained close ties with many small forces in Yuan Valve.

Yuan Shao's relationship with Yuan Shu has improved in the past two years, thanks entirely to the mediation of these small forces in the Yuan valve.

However, Yuan Shu has always been a big problem for Yuan Shao, and the existence of Yuan Shu not only split Yuan Shao and weakened Yuan Shao's power, but also a major obstacle to Yuan Shao's achievement of hegemony and domination of the world in the future, so Yuan Shao has always wanted to kill him.

"My lord let Yuan Shu stand on his own behalf of Han, so as to get rid of the current predicament, regain control of the initiative, regain the imperial rule, and take the opportunity to eradicate Yuan Shu with the help of Cao Cao and Liu Bei." Tian Feng offered advice,

"In this way, the hegemony of adults can be achieved, and the world can be determined." Yuan Shuzhi is very talented, and he has a very strong desire for power and money, as long as he gets the promise of the adult, he will definitely brave the disapproval of the world to stand on behalf of the Han Dynasty.

The reason is very simple, once Yuan Shu stands on his own, Yuan Valve is dragged into the vortex of usurpation, whether it is an adult or other forces in Yuan Valve, they can't get out, and they can only go to the end with him.

After Yuan Shu became self-reliant, the situation in the world changed greatly. Adults can suppress Liu Biao in Jingzhou on the one hand, and make an appointment with Yuan Shu on the other hand, and attack Cao Cao and Liu Bei on the other.

Cao Cao's three alliances had just re-established the imperial unity, and he needed to maintain the authority of the imperial unity, and he wanted to attack Yuan Shu under the banner of counterinsurgency, and he wanted to help Liu Bei hold Xuzhou to maintain the three alliances.

But the adults are in the Kanzhong and Kanto regions at the moment, eyeing the Central Plains. The adults did not express their support for Yuan Shu's self-reliance, nor did they express their support for Cao Cao and Liu Bei's attack on Yuan Shu, and the silence of the adults would make Cao Cao tremble and unable to move.

If Cao Cao could not immediately quell the rebellion, the imperial system would be useless, and the power of the imperial system would be greatly reduced. As time prolonged, Liu Bei of Xuzhou was beaten by Yuan Shu, and the three alliances could split.

The three alliances were divided, and Cao Cao could neither maintain the imperial unity nor ensure the stability of the Central Plains, and the consequences were unimaginable.

At this moment, Cao Cao had no choice but to turn to the adults for help. The adults threatened to move the emperor to Luoyang to force Cao Cao to give up control of the emperor.

In order to survive, Cao Cao had no choice but to give up his authority to maintain the imperial rule of the Han Dynasty, and chose to help Liu Bei to maintain the strength of the three alliances.

The adults took the opportunity to sever the relationship with Yuan Shu, and pretended to kill Yuan Shu with the hands of Cao Cao and Liu Bei. The Lord has obtained the imperial system and authority, and the Yuan Valve has reunited into one, and the strength and prestige of the Lord will increase unprecedentedly.

Yuan Shu died, Cao Cao and Liu Bei's strength was greatly damaged, and even if the three alliances could still exist, they could not compete with the adults.

In this way, adults can meet the counties of the alliance and fight against Hebei together. At this time, it was not easy for adults to kill Cao Cao and occupy the Central Plains.

"What about Hebei? We are fighting in the Central Plains, will Hebei turn a deaf ear? Yuan Shao shook his head, feeling that although Tian Feng's idea was good, the loophole was too big.

Yuan Shu is better than a ghost, will he be fooled? The Central Plains is full of flames, and Li Hong in Hebei is bound to take the opportunity to cross the river to attack.

"We're going to fight Hebei now." Tian Feng said with a smile,

"Have you forgotten that you have already spread the word that you are going to join forces in Yanzhou and Dingtao in the near future and join forces to attack Hebei?"

"Of course I haven't forgotten." Yuan Shao smiled bitterly,

"But now it's Cao Cao who rebuilds the imperial system, and I'm afraid that this Dao alliance text will have no effect."

"My lord, without your support, Cao Cao wants to rebuild the imperial system, but he will only be attacked head-on by Hebei." Tian Feng pointed to Cao Cao's letter on the case, and said with a smile,

"Your Excellency has always insisted on rebuilding the imperial system. Now Li Hong of Hebei has rebuilt the imperial system, and Cao Cao is about to rebuild the imperial system. The adults can recognize the imperial system rebuilt by Li Hong, join forces with Li Hong, declare Cao Cao and the other three alliances as rebels, and let Li Hong capture the Central Plains; It is also possible to recognize Cao Cao's rebuilt imperial system, join forces with Cao Cao, fight against Li Hong, and go north to attack Hebei. Although the adults have lost the opportunity to control the authority and command the various states and counties, the adults still control the initiative to change the situation in the world. Frustrated and nodded,

"Cao Cao seized the opportunity to rebuild the imperial system, in fact, in order to stabilize the Central Plains and seek hegemony. Therefore, his immediate priority was not to rebuild the imperial system, but to establish an offensive and defensive alliance with the Lord in order to jointly fight Hebei. In the three-legged momentum deliberately formed by Cao Cao, the adult is a pivotal one. Yuan Shao was silent.

Tian Feng continued to analyze. Judging from the current situation, assembling a large army to quickly attack Hebei is the best opportunity to deal a heavy blow to Li Hong, and it is also the only way for the adults to regain the imperial unity and authority.

In order to get Cao Cao and the other three alliances to agree to send troops to attack Hebei, the lord must not only actively cooperate with Cao Cao to rebuild the imperial system, but also spare no effort to help.

Once the army crossed the Yellow River, the forces of Cao Cao, Tian Kai and Liu Bei would inevitably be damaged, and this was the prerequisite for inducing Yuan Shuzhong to declare the independence of the Han dynasty in Yangzhou.

Only if Yuan Shu does not feel the danger will he be deceived. At this time, regardless of whether the army could defeat Li Hong, Liu Bei would first withdraw his army, followed by Cao Cao.

That is to say, if the army defeats Li Hong, Jizhou may be occupied by us, and if the army is defeated by Li Hong, Li Hong's strength will be greatly damaged, and he will not be able to cross the river to the south in the short term.

In this way, we can quickly capture the Central Plains while they are exhausted after Cao Cao and Liu Bei kill Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shao was shocked,

"If you think this way, the battle of Hebei may be a defeat."

"What if you lose?" Tian Feng waved his hand indifferently,

"Although the battle was lost, our goal was achieved. Li Hong temporarily lost the ability to attack south, Yuan Shu was killed, the three alliances broke down, we captured the Central Plains, and the Lord and Li Hong formed a situation of confrontation between the north and the south, and the hegemony of the Lord was formed. Yuan Shao accepted Tian Feng's suggestion, replied to Cao Cao, and immediately rushed to Dingtao, Yanzhou, one for the alliance and gather troops to attack Hebei, and the other for the re-establishment of the imperial system and the imperial court.

Yuan Shao wrote another letter to Yuan Shu, ordering Xu You to immediately rush to Shouchun, Yangzhou with the letter, to meet Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shao discussed the details with Fu Zhu and others, and then arranged for Fu Zhu to sit in Luoyang, and ordered the trial to go to Guanzhong to assist Yuan Tan, and let Tian Feng, Guo Tu and others rush to Yanzhou with him.

At the beginning of March, Xu Yu arrived in Shouchun in Jiujiang County, Yangzhou. Yuan Shu and Xu You have a very good personal relationship, the two have not seen each other for many years, and they are very happy to meet again.

Xu You presented Yuan Shao's letter, and then explained in detail the intention. Yuan Shu's face sank, and he slapped the case hard,

"Ziyuan, do you want to kill me?" Xu You laughed,

"Isn't there a way to avoid trouble on the highway?"

"Of course I have a way to avoid it." Yuan Shu sneered,

"Yuan Benchu, this bastard, actually calculated on my head, I called him bloodless." Xu You looked at him and asked, "Do you want me to bring this to Brother Benchu?" ”

"Yes." Yuan Shu nodded,

"You go back and tell Yuan Benchu that since he plans to be my subordinate, then he must give me something to show his sincerity."

"What do you want?" Xu You pointed at him and smiled,

"It stands to reason that you should thank Brother Ben for his help and give him some benefits."

"Of course, of course I'm going to give him a favor." Yuan Shu sneered,

"Isn't he going to unite the soldiers and horses of various states and counties to attack Hebei, okay, I promise him, I will send troops north to attack Hebei. I will give him money and food, but he will also give me something and give me Peiguo. Xu You was stunned for a moment, and asked strangely, "What do you want Peiguo to do?" ”

"I'm so unimpeded to deliver soldiers, horses, money, and food to the Central Plains." Yuan Shu said with a smile. Xu You looked at him thoughtfully, and didn't speak for a long time.

"If my army can't go north to the Central Plains, Liu Bei is bound to leave heavy troops to garrison Xiapi and Guangling. For me, it doesn't do me any good. Yuan Shu smiled and patted Xu You's shoulder,

"You can't trust me?"

"Of course I can't trust you." Xu Yu said without thinking.

"Haha......" Yuan Shu laughed,

"When I become the lord of the world, I will first cut off your head." Xu You hurriedly went north to Yanzhou with Yuan Shu's letter to meet Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shu summoned his son Yuan Yao, his cronies Li Ye, Yang Hong, Yan Xiang, Xun Zheng, Ji Ling, Liu Xun and others to discuss the plan.

While everyone was watching Yuan Shao's letter, Yuan Shu asked Li Ye in a whisper,

"How was Zheng Tai's funeral?" Zheng Tai has been following Yuan Shu since he escaped from Guanzhong. Not long ago, Yuan Shu asked him to go to Jiangdong to serve as the assassin of Yangzhou, but he died of illness on the way.

Li Ye roughly said that Zheng Tai's younger brother Zheng Hun had rushed to Shouchun from Kaifeng, Henan, and was going to return to his hometown with the coffin for burial.

"More money and make the funeral more grand." Yuan Shu shook his head sadly,

"His family has had a very good relationship with our family since the master Zheng Zhong, and there have been five generations of friendship." Li Ye nodded and said with a little sadness: "I also received a news that in the first month, Zhuge Xuan died of illness in Xiangyang. Yuan Shu was taken aback,

"Really?" Then he let out a long sigh,

"We're getting older, and a lot of the old people are starting to leave." Zhuge Xuan's ancestor Zhuge Feng once served as a lieutenant in the Xiaoyuan Emperor's court, and later offended the ministers because of something and was reduced to a commoner by the Xiaoyuan Emperor.

But the Zhuge family is still famous in Langya County, Xuzhou, and it can be regarded as an official eunuch family with a history of more than 200 years.

Zhuge Xuan's elder brother Zhuge Jue once served as the county governor of Taishan County, Zhuge Xuan was from Yuan Feng, the Taiwei in his early years, and he was regarded as a former official of the Yuan family.

Because of the war, Zhuge Xuan took refuge in Yangzhou with his son and nephew and defected to his old friend Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu asked him to serve as the Taishou in Yuzhang, and later Yuan Shu and Liu Xuan turned their faces, and the two sides fought, and Zhuge Xuan had to return to Yangzhou.

At that time, Yuan Shu was at war with Liu Bei, and Zhuge Xuan felt that Yangzhou was too chaotic and not a place to live, so he said goodbye to Yuan Shu and went to Jingzhou to seek refuge with his friend Kuai Yue.

Unexpectedly, this parting turned out to be eternal.

"Are his nephews all right?" Yuan Shu asked with concern,

"I remember his two nieces should be married."

"I heard that one is married to Pang Shanmin, the son of Pang Degong, and the other is married to Kuai Yue's younger brother Kuai Qi." Li Ye said,

"The Pang family and the Kuai family are both famous families in Jingzhou, and the Zhuge family has their care, and life must be passable." Yuan Shu smiled with satisfaction,

"If you have the opportunity to meet these old people, you can help them." Yuan Shao's letter caused controversy among the Yangzhou officials, and it was clear that Yuan Shao's purpose was not to help Yuan Shu become emperor, but to have other plans.

With Yuan Shao's strength, how could he give up the throne of the emperor? Yuan Shu is confident,

"What Yuan Benchu wants to do, I know that he wants to use me to dominate the world, but I don't want to use his strength to achieve my hegemony." Yuan Shu's words were very relaxed, but a group of officials were very realistic.

The 400-year-old foundation of the Han Dynasty has been completely overturned after being destroyed by Dong Zhuo, Li Dao and Li Hong.

Now in this land, who doesn't want to seize the world and claim the title of king? Although there are prophecies and replacement theories that the Five Virtues have always said, these things cannot replace strength.

It takes strength to be a king and hegemon, and if you don't have strength, you want to be an emperor, which is purely looking for death. Yuan Shu's strength is not strong, and he currently does not have the capital to be called the emperor, and he will definitely be defeated if he rushes to become the emperor.

"If Cao Cao, Tian Kai, and Liu Bei all die on the battlefield in Hebei, if I can occupy the Central Plains, if I stand with Yuan Shao and Li Hong, then can I ascend the throne and become emperor?" Yuan Shu asked with a smile.

Li Ye and the others' faces changed slightly. Yuan Yao glanced at his father in horror and whispered: "After this battle, although Hebei's vitality has been greatly damaged in the short term, it will ...... in the future."

"In the future, whether my Yuan family can sit firmly in this country depends on Yuan Benchu." Yuan Shu sneered,

"The two brothers have one heart, the world can get it, if the brothers kill each other, it is difficult to say whose country this country is." Everyone knew that Yuan Shu had made up his mind, so they immediately stopped persuading each other and concentrated on discussing the strategy of seizing the Central Plains.

"My lord, after Yangzhou's army goes north, who will hand over Yangzhou's garrison?" Yan Xiang asked.

"Let Sun Ce come back." Yuan Shu pointed at Yan Xiang and said,

"You personally go to Wu County and ask him to return to Jiujiang immediately with the army."

"Then if Liu Miao and Hua Xin take the opportunity to counterattack......

"Leave this matter to Sun Ce, he knows what to do." Yuan Shu waved his hand and said indifferently,

"I told him a long time ago that if he can defeat the four counties of Jiangdong, then the four counties of Jiangdong are his. He doesn't care about his territory, do you want me to take care of it for him? You tell him that as long as he can help me lay down the Central Plains, Yangzhou will be his. ”

"My lord, is it too rash for you to give him the heavy responsibility of seizing the Central Plains?" Yang Hong asked worriedly,

"After Sun Jian's death, although the adults did their best to protect his family and subordinates, they also relied on and trusted Sun Jing, Sun Ben, Sun Ce and others. But judging from what Sun Ce has done in Jiangdong in the past two years, this kid doesn't seem to be grateful to you, and sometimes he is still acting against the yin and playing clever. In my opinion, it is better for adults to let Master Ji or Lord Qiao stay in Yangzhou. Yuan Shu lowered his head and thought for a moment, then looked at everyone, and asked solemnly: "If Sun Jian is still alive, do you believe him?" Li Ye and the others looked at each other and nodded.

Yuan Shu smiled slightly,

"Sun Ce is like his father, he is absolutely trustworthy." That night, Xun Zheng took Yuan Yao and Liu Ye to Liyang and left Yangzhou by boat.

In early March, Sun Ce was ordered to rush to Shouchun day and night from Qu'a in Wu County. Sun Ce was young and handsome, tall and burly, very similar to his father.

Yuan Shu looked at him for a long time, and a sadness suddenly welled up in his heart,

"Is your mother okay?"

"Thank you for your concern." Sun Ce bowed down and thanked,

"Before the official left, my mother repeatedly instructed me to greet the adults on her behalf."

"I'm fine, thank you mother for remembering me." Yuan Shu smiled and patted Sun Ce's shoulder,

"When you grow a beard, you look more like your father. ...... back then" Yuan Shu's voice trembled, and he swallowed back the words behind.

Sun Ce accompanied Yuan Shu silently for a while.

"When you got married, I was too busy, so I had to ask Yuan Yao to go to Jiangdong to congratulate me on my behalf." Yuan Shu turned his head to look at Sun Ce and asked with a smile,

"Do you like the gift I gave you?"

"Yes, thank you, sir." Sun Ce bowed gratefully and said,

"Since my father's death, it is all up to adults to take care of us, if it weren't for the adults......" Yuan Shu shook his hand and stopped Sun Ce's words,

"Back then, I invited your father to Nanyang to attack Dong Zhuo, if I hadn't invited him to go, he would have been alive, he must still be in Changsha, and your family would have lived a comfortable life. I owe you so much, I owe Brother Wentai, I owe your mother, and I owe you too. Sun Ce burst into tears and said excitedly: "My lord, the lower officials are willing to attack Hebei with the adults." ”

"No, I won't take you there." Yuan Shu stopped and said categorically,

"You help me defend Yangzhou. If I die in Hebei, Yangzhou will be yours. ”

"My lord......" Sun Ce fell to his knees, tears rolling down in an instant. Jump to
