Sun Ce was stunned. I had just arrived at the camp and had not sat firmly yet, so you asked me to go to Wancheng. The father and son had been separated for more than a year. They finally met and had no time to talk. You are really decisive.

Seeing that Sun Ce's expression was wrong, Zhou Yu immediately took over the topic.

"The general worked hard for state affairs, and the father and son met, and the meal was too late to be separated. Yu deeply admired him. However, the general was ordered by the general to take Xiangyang. Now that Xiangyang has not yet arrived, the general sent Bo Fu to Wancheng to offer advice. It may cause criticism. He suspected that the general could not take Liu Biao, so he pretended to make big statements."

Sun Jian frowned slightly.

Zhou Yu continued: "In fact, Liu Biao is not worth worrying about the courage of the general. What he has to worry about is how to subdue the powerful people of Xiangyang. Liu Biao entered Jingzhou with a scholar and was able to take the six counties in a few months. It was not that Liu Biao was good at fighting, but that he had Cai Mao, Kuai Yue and others help him. When his father was in Luoyang, he had a good understanding of Cai Mao and Kuai Yue, and Yu might be able to help the general with his arms."

Sun Jian felt it was reasonable. He was confident in fighting, but he was not sure about dealing with these famous scholars. Since Zhou Yu's father had a friendship with Cai Mao and others, Sun Ce could have a great time with Lu Kang, and maybe he could help.

"Bo Fu, then you can stay in the camp for the time being and counsel the military." Sun Jian laughed. "I happen to ask Mr. Zhou for help."

Zhou Yu said a few humble words. Sun Ce breathed a sigh of relief, quickly agreed, and saluted Sun Fu again.

Sun Fu was very embarrassed and returned the favors repeatedly. Sun Fu was mentally prepared for Sun Ce's arrival. Sun Jian had four sons, and sooner or later he would give up his position as close attendant to the commander of the unit, just like his brother Sun Ben. Now seeing Sun Ce interacting with famous scholars, calling brothers and brothers with children from aristocratic families, and giving guidance to the country, he dared not have any inappropriate thoughts.

After leaving Sun Jian’s tent, Sun Fu took the initiative to lead Sun Ce around the camp to get familiar with the situation.

Sun Ce was a man in his two lives, and this was his first time entering the military camp. When he came in just now, he was thinking about how to deal with Sun Jian’s interrogation, but he had no intention of caring about anything else. Now he has passed the test successfully, and he finally had time to observe what the real military camp looked like.

"How many people are there in total now?" Sun Ce asked casually while looking at the layout of the military camp.

"More than ten thousand."

"Where are the cavalry?"

"Caval?" Sun Fu was stunned for a moment. "Did you mean Yizong? More than 200 cavalrymen."

"Two...hundred?" Zhou Yu was surprised. "So few?"

Sun Ce was not surprised at all. War horses have always been the weakness of Jiangdong. There were almost no established cavalry in Jiangdong. The only cavalry could only serve as the guard of the generals, and they acted as guards of honor in normal times, and protected the safety of the chief generals during wartime. Later, Sun Ce crossed the river and had even fewer cavalry. When Cao's infantry and cavalry were 10 to 1, the proportion of Jiangdong infantry and cavalry was as high as forty or even fifty to one. After the Red Cliff, Zhou Yu took Jiangling, seized some war horses, and gave Sun Quan three hundred horses as soon as possible.

"In addition to Yi Cong, how many cavalry are there in each unit?"

"That's even less, there are thirty or forty more, and there are twelve or twenty less, and in total... there are about 150 or sixty."

Sun Ce calculated that two hundred plus one hundred fifty and sixty, not less than that, nearly thirty to one. It seems that my father has gained some recent victory. He looked around. "Why didn't I see the Yi Cong Cavalry?"

Sun Fu smiled and said, "These more than 200 cavalry have just been formed, and Han Sima has taken out of the camp for training."

Sun Ce asked, "Is it Han Dang?"

Sun Fu glanced at Sun Ce, then looked around, and lowered his voice. "Bo Fu, Han Sima, who has been fighting with his uncle for many years, has saved his uncle's life. He is one of the uncle's most trusted subordinates. Everyone respects him in the camp, so you'd better not call him by his name."

Sun Ce was very surprised. There was something in Sun Fu's words. No matter how awesome Han Dang was, he was also Sun Jian's subordinate. I am Sun Jian's eldest son, and I can't even call his name privately, so Sun Fu's solemn reminder?

Seeing that Sun Ce was dissatisfied, Sun Fu continued: "The four generals under my uncle, Cheng Sima is loyal, generous and easy to get along with. Zhu Zheng went to Xuzhou to help, and was not in the camp. Huang Sima Ming was the uncle's right-hand man. Only Han Sima was harsh and did not like to joke with others. If you meet him, you must be more solemn."

Although Sun Ce didn't understand very well, he knew that Sun Fu would not provoke for no reason. There were all kinds of people, and the more capable people were, the more likely they were to have a bad temper. Han Dang was an old subordinate of Sun Jian and a trusted general around him, so it was normal for him to have a bit of temper. Nowadays, the king chose ministers, and the ministers also chose kings. He should not be treated like a slave just because he was his father's subordinate. This is a very taboo thing. At the least, he would have a rift, and at the worst, he would have turned against him.

Zhou Yu said, "Brother Guofu, if you have time, take us to see these seniors. I heard that Bo Fu's uncle is also in the camp. Bo Fu often mentions him along the way. Since he is here, we should go and meet him."

Sun Fu nodded repeatedly and led Sun Ce and Zhou Yu to the outside of the camp. Sun Ce was ashamed. If it weren't for Zhou Yu's reminder, he had almost neglected these details. Others were easy to say, but they could not see each other, but Wu Jing was his uncle, and he should have asked him for peace and reason. Since he had paid a visit to Wu Jing, it would be appropriate to meet other generals by the way, so as not to give people the impression of being close and alienated. Although Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Zhu Zhi, and Huang Gai were foreign surnames, they were Sun Jian's old subordinates, and they were actually no different from their family members. He was a newcomer and should have lowered his attitude.

Treating people and things with thoughtful manners is a compulsory course for children of aristocratic families. Zhou Yu demonstrated his value and checked for his omissions at any time.

Sun Ce followed Sun Fu to Wu Jing's camp. Wu Jing was about in his early thirties, with a medium figure, a thin body, and a somewhat similar appearance to Mrs. Wu, not as powerful as Sun Jian. When he saw Sun Ce, he was very surprised and quickly put down the work in his hand and greeted him.

"Bofu, when did you come?"

"Just arrived." Sun Ce stepped forward and introduced Zhou Yu to Wu Jing. Wu Jing was very surprised. He looked at Sun Ce several times, as if he couldn't believe that he could get along so well with Zhou Yu. After saying a few gossips and conveying Mrs. Wu's greetings, Sun Ce noticed that there were a bunch of bamboo slips on Wu Jing's desk, and asked casually: "Uncle, what are you busy with? So many things?"

Wu Jing shook his head and smiled bitterly, "What else can I do? I need food and grass when writing military books. The reason why we have not launched an attack for a long time is that we are waiting for food and grass. Now the autumn harvest has been over, but the general promised us that the food and grass have not been sent. Your father just urged me, what can I do? He had to write military books to urge Wancheng."

Sun Ce frowned slightly. "Why did Yuan Shu do this again?"

Wu Jing scolded: "Bo Fu, don't be rude. Even if the later general is not right, since your father is dependent on him, he has the right to be a monarch and minister. How can you call him the name and disrespect him?" He paused and said with regret: "But the matter of food and grass is indeed difficult. Autumn is about to end, and the Mian River will be able to cross the river soon. Liu Biao has mobilized troops and can cross the river to support Fancheng at any time, but we are not ready yet. If we fight, it will be very bad."
