Sun Ce also regretted it. Although the emperor's Western Expedition was not valuable enough, it could not change the final result, after all, it increased the trouble.

Except for the sea on the east side, there are enemies on all sides, and it is difficult to attack and defense, so I will not have any good life in the past few years. As Yu Fan said, don’t worry about building a capital, and I don’t have time to live anyway.

While I still have time, stay here for a few more days and treat myself to it.

"Fengxiao, don't be rushing to blame yourself, let's think about how to deal with it first." Sun Ce was stirring up the water and was leisurely. "You take all your family members over and we'll celebrate the New Year here."

"Lord is wise." Guo Jia laughed. Yu Fan was also a little proud. He lived in Moling and Lake for more than half a year, and spent most of his time surveying and drawing maps. The only place for real groundbreaking construction was Tangshan. As soon as he saw this, he believed that Sun Ce would like this place and might live for a long time, so he built many houses nearby, which are now in handy.

Compared with Wuxian or Yangxian, Moling is closer to the Central Plains. Whether crossing the river north or going up the river west, Moling has unique advantages. In the event of unfavorable situation and need to retreat to Jiangdong, Moling can also build a defense line. As for the problem of moist summer heat, it is not enough to take care of it in a short period of time, and only needs to be considered when you are a capital for a long time.

Sun Ce, Guo Jia and Yu Fan discussed it roughly. Yu Fan was the chief minister of the left-behind and knew Sun Ce's family's background best. He suggested that Sun Ce use defense instead of attack, temporarily slow down the development process, and concentrate on doing internal affairs. The war has consumed too much money and food for many years. Sun Ce has already owed more than one billion yuan in debt, so it is not too late to make a big attempt. By the time of the year, it is not too late to complete the first five-year plan. At that time, the soldiers are good and the food is enough, and the advantages are more obvious.

From the overall situation, the emperor's confidence will increase when he returns to the Western Expedition. He is likely to use this opportunity to gather all prefectures and counties to besiege Sun Ce. War is inevitable. Sun Ce is attacked from all sides, so it is not advisable to attack hastily. Defend instead of attacking and wait patiently for the opportunity to counterattack. Such things as alliances are often unreliable and profitable. When everyone is an allies, and if they are not profitable or even more harmful than profit, the alliance will naturally collapse. At that time, it will be much better to defeat them one by one than to counterattack at the beginning.

Considering that the court is the core of the alliance, facing Nanyang and Luoyang in Guanzhong became the focus of defense. Lu Su is in Luoyang, Huang Zhong is in Nanyang, and Zhang Juzhong is in dispatch. Sun Ce does not have to rush to visit the front line in person. He can enter Ruying and support the generals and wait for the opportunity.

Sun Ce basically agreed with Yu Fan's opinion. On the way back, he repeatedly discussed this issue with Guo Jia, and the Military Planning Office also made corresponding deductions, but he didn't expect it to be useful at the time.

Things in the world are like chess, who can tell them clearly? Even AlphaGo has times when she loses chess. Sun Ce comforts himself like this.

Guo Jia reminded Sun Ce that Cao entrusted Yizhou and now he followed the emperor to the west to fight against Song Jian, and was highly valued by the emperor. If the emperor formed an alliance, Cao entrusted to him, and Cao Ang inevitably entered the emperor's vision. Yanzhou and Yuzhou bordered and the front line was very long. If Yanzhou changes, it will cause great harm to the Central Plains War Zone. It must be prevented. If necessary, the Sui River defense line should be strengthened again, and even the first move should be taken to the strong, directly annex Yanzhou and push the front line to the river.

"Let Ding Chong come back." Guo Jia smiled.

Sun Ce walked into Liu He's room in his clothes.

Liu He was sitting in front of the window and reading. Yu Fanjian had a lot of effort in these houses. The floor of the inner room was covered with pottery pipes, and hot spring water flowed through the pottery pipes. Even in the cold winter, the room was as warm as spring and there was no need to wear a heavy cotton coat. Liu He only wore a pair of clothes. The clothes were the dowry she brought, which was originally very suitable. Recently, she had enough food, was in a good mood, and had a plump person, and her clothes became a little tighter, and her curves were revealed.

Although it was not the first time I saw it, Sun Ce was still a little moved. Winter has arrived, will spring be far away?

When Liu He heard the sound of opening the door, he turned around and saw that it was Sun Ce. He quickly put down the book in his hand and stood up to greet him. Sun Ce took off his shoes and walked on the floor, his feet warm and comfortable.

"Is it cold to sleep at night?"

"It's not cold, it's not cold." Liu He smiled and said, "This house is so good, warmer than the greenhouse in Weiyang Palace."

"Just like it. Northerners are the most uncomfortable when they go to the south. If you don't believe it, ask Zhen Mi to see how she spent the winter in Wu County last year."

Liu He covered his mouth and smiled, his eyebrows crooked like the moon. She had heard Zhen Mi mention that she was worried that she could live in a warm house when she arrived in Wu County. Seeing that Sun Ce's hair had not dried yet, she said, "Husband, I'll help you fan your hair."

Sun Ce agreed happily. Liu He took a few high seats and sat down. Sun Ce leaned against Liu He, rested his head on Liu He's legs, and his hair drooped. In this era, he had adapted to many things, but he couldn't adapt to hair. Every time he shampooed his hair, he was troublesome. He once tentatively proposed to change his hairstyle. Men no longer had to grow long hair. As a result, everyone opposed it, saying that his body and skin were taken by his parents, cutting his hair was like a broken head, and short hair was almost a punishment for his hair. In short, there was a lot of opinions, so Sun Ce had to give up.

Liu He took the round fan and comb, fanned the wind with one hand and combed his hair with the other. The breeze was blowing, with a faint warm fragrance. I don’t know if it was the fragrance in the house or the fragrance on Liu He’s body. Sun Ce was very comfortable. He closed his eyes and enjoyed it for a while, and he was almost asleep.

"Honey, do you have any worries?" Liu He suddenly said.

Sun Ce still closed his eyes. "How do you know?"

"Your body is very nervous." Liu He pointed at Sun Ce's shoulder. "You just finished the soup and should be very relaxed."

Sun Ce opened his eyes, looked at Liu He, and slightly raised the corner of his mouth. "Then guess what's going on."

Liu He shook his head gently, with a smile on his lips. "I'm not as smart as A Mi, I can't guess it."

Sun Ce laughed twice, relaxed his body, crossed his legs, crossed his hands with ten hands, placed them on his chest, pondered for a moment, and said in a calm tone as possible: "You should guess."

Liu He's eyes flashed, and the round fan and comb in his hand were slightly stagnant. It took a while before he slowly recovered. She combed her slowly, but her voice was a little dry. "Is it because of your Majesty that you have news?"

"【 】Well, you don't have to be nervous, it's good news, at least for you." Sun Ce raised his eyelids and looked at Liu He's eyes with a smile. "The victory in the Western Expedition should be on the way to the army now, and news will come soon."

Liu He quietly let out a sigh of relief, and felt it was inappropriate, so he licked his lips. "This...this is indeed good news, for your husband...that's right, you are not...he can be today, and he is also husband..." She didn't know what to say, so she had to shut her mouth and concentrate on combing Sun Ce's hair.

"You are right, for me, this is also good news." Sun Ce thought for a while and smiled: "In a sense, I have made contributions to him who can be today, but I just don't know if he admits it or not."

"Of course he will admit it." Liu He blurted out, then felt a loss of words, and hurriedly covered his hand with his hands, looking at Sun Ce awkwardly, his face flushed and his eyes were timid.

"Why?"

"He..." Liu He hesitated for a while and mustered up his courage. "Your Majesty said that you have neither family background nor famous teachers. All your victory depends on yourself. It is much better than the children of those aristocratic families. He is a true talent of genius. If... if the Han Dynasty was destined to have a destiny, he would rather have you establish a new dynasty. It is precisely because of this that he agreed to marry you as a concubine, saying...it is only you... able to treat a princess who lost her country well."

Liu He stuttered, but his eyes were extremely clear. He looked directly at Sun Ce without dodging at all, and he was even a little stubborn. Sun Ce believed that what she said was true. She was not a person who was good at fake and did not have the talent for acting like Zhen Mi.

Sun Ce suddenly realized. "So that's the case. I said why did he promise so much." He patted Liu He's hot face. "What are you stupid? My hair hasn't dried yet. Are you planning to let me lie here for a day?"

"Oh, oh." Liu He woke up from his dream and became busy again. Sun Ce closed his eyes again and fell asleep unknowingly. Liu He's hands and feet became lighter and lighter. He held the fan in one hand and hugged Sun Ce gently with the other hand, humming a song.
