Xu Jie turned to Xun Yu, served tea, took a secret look, and stepped back.

Xun Yu looked at the tea fog on the table and did not notice the little fans in front of him at all. His brows were lightly locked, with a hint of sorrow, his face was pale, his cheeks were thin, and he sat there quietly, like a green bamboo that was about to turn yellow.

It turns out that he is a gentleman like jade, a coral weapon, very elegant, but... it's useless.

Sun Ce picked up the teacup and sipped the tea lightly, thinking about the tragedy of Xun Yu's original life trajectory, and was in a daze. Should I save him or let him get hurt even deeper. Not only Xun Yu, but also the emperor. If they knew that their destiny had changed because of my arrival, would they thank me or would they curse me?

The two sat opposite each other, and no one spoke. Xu Jie stood quietly aside, staring at Xun Yu intently, occasionally coming to his senses and moving his eyes away embarrassedly. Sun Shangxiang looked at her with contempt, her eyes rolled so hard that she could only see the whites of her eyes, but she could not see her pupils. She has always respected this little military advisor who is a few years older than her and is both a teacher and a friend, and regards her as a representative of intelligence and rationality. Today, she has seen through her essence.

After a while, Guo Wu hurried in from outside. Seeing Xun Yu sitting there, he stopped and bowed to salute. He was wearing armor and a ring-headed knife around his waist. When he walked, the armor leaves rubbed, and the leather boots under his feet were also heavy. He woke Xun Yu up and looked up, but he didn't recognize him for a moment.

"Your Excellency is..."

Guo Wu smiled. "Lingjun, I am Guo Wu. I was in Chang'an back then and I met Lingjun with my uncle."

Xun Yu suddenly realized. "So it's Awu. I haven't seen you for a few years, and you have changed your appearance and can't recognize you. You are..." Xun Yu blinked in an instant, saw Zhen Xiang beside him, and then realized where he was. He hurriedly signaled Guo Wu to do business first. Guo Wu nodded, stepped to Sun Ce's side in two steps, approached Sun Ce's ear, and whispered a few times.

"King, the news came from Lu Du that he had seized the two cities of Juyang and Chengyang."

"Take it seriously?" Sun Ce was both surprised and happy. This was good news. Not long after the emperor retreated, Lu Su had already heard news that he had occupied the two cities of Juyang and Chengyang. According to the calculations from the distance, he should have taken the lead and cut off the emperor's retreat.

"I just received the scout's message, but I haven't received the official document yet."

Sun Ce has a slight jaw. The Jiangdong Army has its own way to transmit messages. In an emergency, the scouts roaming outside the city first transmit oral messages to avoid the main general being delayed due to war. Several signals are agreed in advance. When something happens, a specific signal is sent. After the scouts roaming at wài     wéi see the signal, they translate it into specific information and relay it as soon as possible, which can save a lot of time so that the cooperative troops can prepare and respond in time.

Lu Su had only more than 10,000 people, and it was difficult for Dong Zhao's army to stop the emperor. Even if Zhu Huan was in equal measure, the people were only equal. Winning was a win, but the price would be higher. Guo Jia would have two days to reach Suiyang, and he had to turn north by land to reach Suiyang. There were more than 300 miles of land to catch up, and I don't know if he could catch up.

Sun Ce quickly estimated the journey. "Sent a letter to Guo Jijiu, and asked him to transfer to Sishui and go to Dingtao. The central army gathered and prepared to set off and go to Suiyang."

"Here." Guo Wu responded and turned around.

Sun Ce was happy. He thought that the emperor had taken the initiative to retreat, but the battle was left unresolved, and in the end he had to rely on erosion to capture Yanzhou step by step. Now Lu Su cut off the emperor's retreat, and the chance of a decisive battle was right in front of him. He couldn't help but hold it tightly. Although he didn't get excited, his hand couldn't help but hold it tight until he found that Xun Yu's eyes were wrong, and then realized that he had lost his composure. He quickly put away his excitement and coughed.

"Mr. Xun?"

Xun Yu bowed awkwardly. Sun Ce and Guo Wu's voices were very small, and Xun Yu also realized that he did not listen deliberately. He only saw a little excitement in Sun Ce's expression. He was worried about the safety of the emperor. Then he looked at Sun Ce twice, but Sun Ce discovered that he suspected that he was eavesdropping and was contrary to the way of being a guest, and he was embarrassed.

"King, Yu didn't mean to inquire, just..."

Sun Ce waved his hand. "It's okay to tell you, you will know sooner or later. Liu Xie couldn't attack Dingtao and retreated."

Xun Yu said "Oh", with a complex expression, both relaxed, regretful, and indescribable depression. Sun Ce called the emperor directly. As the envoy of the emperor, he should have made solemn representations, but the current situation is serious, and he had to beg for the whole. He has seen many people these days and knew that no one took Liu Xie seriously, including many scholars, and the people of Liangzhou were very disgusted with him and called him the Emperor of Guanxi, and even more, they called him the Emperor of Liangzhou and the Emperor of Qiang and Hu. In this case, Jing Yang and Qingxu were not much better. Regardless of whether he admitted it or not, the court had lost all the hearts of the people in Guandong. In this case, it would be meaningless to argue with Sun Ce about the righteousness of the ruler and the ministers. It would be better to correct his mentality and win a glimmer of hope for the emperor.

Just when he thought that moving the capital to Guanzhong was his first initiative, he felt indescribable. He moved the capital to Guanzhong to avoid Yuan Shao's edge, defended Guanzhong, and rested. Who would have thought that Yuan Shao died in a battle and made Sun Ce become older?

Sun Ce saw it clearly and smiled in his heart. "What kind of expression is Xun Jun? Is it excited or depressed, or is it both?"

"It's hard to describe it." Xun Yu bowed again. "No matter what, it's always good to have a temporary rest in the military revolution."

Sun Ce smiled and said, "This may not be necessary. Qin destroyed the six kingdoms and unified the world, and it was also a temporary stop to the military revolution. Unfortunately, there were a few years of chaos in Shandong. Han governed the world, and it was also a temporary stop to the military revolution. However, when the overlord died, Emperor Gaozu of Han attacked Han Xin, Peng Yue and others. From this, it can be seen that although he could succeed in his domineering behavior for a while, it was not a long-term solution. He stopped the boiling, and treated the symptoms but not the root cause."

"The king wants to cure the root cause?"

Sun Ce nodded. "Although I dare not say that it will succeed, it is worth a try. If I can make progress, I will have no regrets in this life."

"The king's ambition is admirable, and he is also a great courage in reforming the past and promoting innovation. However, in Yu's opinion, the king's actions are not the real king's way, and long-term stability is not available. Compared with the Han Dynasty's mixed use of overlordship, it is only a difference of fifty steps and a hundred steps."

Sun Ce laughed silently, playing with the teacup in his hand, and looked at Xun Yu for a moment. Xun Yu bowed, faced Sun Ce's gaze, and looked at Sun Ce quietly, calm and composed, but his breath was a bit too long, and it was deliberate, so he was not as calm as Sun Ce.

The two looked at each other speechlessly, and the atmosphere was a little nervous for a moment. Zhen Xiang and Xu Jie subconsciously held their breath, raised their ears, listened intently, and did not want to miss a word. Sun Ce is the King of Wu, and will go further in the near future and become the lord of the world. Xun Yu is a famous scholar of Ruying, with the talent of the king and the assistant, and has a lifelong appointment with Prime Minister Zhang Hong. These two people are wise men in the world. They discuss governance, and it is definitely not an ordinary person who has the opportunity to listen. Even if they listen to one more sentence, they will benefit a lot.

Only Sun Shangxiang curled her lips repeatedly, disagreed, and didn't know what she was muttering.

"I wish to hear a good person." After a long time, Sun Ce said lightly.
