In two days, Guan Yu's review letter was revised seven times in succession, each time longer and longer, with thousands of words. He almost retelled his history of war over the past decade, which was enough to be used as a material for his personal biography, but he still failed.

Guan Yu was going crazy, and he was on the verge of going wild countless times, and stopped and retreated. Because he learned "unintentionally" that not only Sun Ce, but also Mrs. Du, but also Mrs. Du, were mainly Mrs. Du.

The three words of Mrs. Du are like an invisible rope, pulling him back from the edge of the cliff again and again, urging him to dig deep into the roots of his thoughts, reflect on his gains and losses, and carefully ruminate on the experiences over the past decade. Whenever he can't control his anger, he will recall the wonderful times of that year and imagine that he was talking to the girl in Dou Kou in a double bun, rather than the hateful King Sun Ce of Wu.

In the end, Sun Ce couldn't support him. He felt that Guan Yu's self-reflection book was getting more and more sour, with hormones flowing between the lines. His big blushing face was like a huge acne, which made people feel tired and blushed.

He was tired of it, and Mrs. Du blushed.

So he felt that he would let Guan Yu go and let him go. He would rather read the boring official documents than read Guan Yu's self-reflection letter. Although Mrs. Du was still unsatisfied, she could not object to Sun Ce's opinion, so she had to go with the flow and agree.

Guan Yu was finally able to stand in front of Sun Ce and in front of Mrs. Du.

After a few days of sight, Guan Yu lost weight a lot, his eyes were deep, but his eyes were astonishingly bright, just like a monk who had finished retreating. Fortunately, Sun Ce did not take it seriously, but Mrs. Du was afraid to look at him. She lowered her head like a girl in Huaichun, but her face turned red to her ears.

Sun Ce read the thick self-reflective book word by word, put it on the table, and gently patted it with his hand. "The clouds are long, it is easy to sit and discuss the way, but it is difficult to move the way. You realize your mistakes and have the desire to correct them. This is a good thing, but whether you can change it or how much can you change it, I am a little worried."

Guan Yu's cheeks twitched, calmed down again, bowed and said, "I hope the king will not abandon him, and I will give him any advice at all times."

Sun Ce nodded with satisfaction. Although it was not as soft as his fingers, it was also valuable. It seemed that Guan Yu had grasped his weakness. He would blow up the thorns in the future and directly touch his fatal hole. "Since that's the case, you should be a attendant knight first to observe the effect."

Guan Yu was a little surprised, and then he thought about it and obeyed the order happily. Mrs. Du worked with Sun Ce and assisted in handling documents. He worked as a attendant knight beside Sun Ce. It was so good that he could be close to the water. This was a rare opportunity.

"Thank you, the king." Guan Yu endured the joy in his heart and bowed. Mrs. Du was quick-witted, knew Sun Ce's intention, and knew why Guan Yu was happy. She was even more embarrassed to speak, so she had to pretend to be calm and handle the official documents in her hand seriously. Sun Ce and Guan Yu said a few more words, called Guo Wu, and asked him to take Guan Yu to lead the military uniforms and equipment. Guan Yu secretly glanced at Mrs. Du and went out reluctantly. Although he had seen him, he had not said a word to Mrs. Du.

Listening to Guan Yu's footsteps getting farther away, Sun Ce said to Mrs. Du: "Madam, Yun Chang is talented and arrogant. If this problem is not eliminated, it will be difficult to become a great person. You and Yun Chang are fellow townsmen, and you will be colleagues in the future. If you look down, you should help him more."

"Yes, please follow the emperor's decree." Mrs. Du responded awkwardly, found a reason, and hurriedly left the account.

Sun Ce laughed, looked at the self-reflection letter in his hand again, turned around and handed it to Lu Ji, asking him to take the archive.

——

Three days later than expected, Yuan Tan and his party finally arrived at Lu Nu.

Seeing Guan Yu who was ordered to welcome him and seeing Guan Yu's military uniform, Yuan Tan was mixed with all kinds of feelings, and could not tell what it felt. The reason why the Wei State retreated step by step was that Guan Yu played a very critical role in it. Yan Liang and Gao Lan all died under Guan Yu's sword, and Guan Yu was also captured by Guan Yu, and Yuan Xi died because of this. Such a powerful general who destroyed the Wei State became Sun Ce's guard, which is too ironic.

Guan Yu was very calm and politely invited Yuan Tan to the camp. Yuan Tan was even more surprised and could hardly believe that the person in front of him was Guan Yu. Guan Yu was famously arrogant, and when did he become so humble? He exchanged glances with Ju Su and Tian Feng. Ju Su and Tian Feng felt incredible and shook his head at the same time.

When he arrived at the tent, Sun Ce had already received the news and was standing in front of the tent of the tent of the Central Army. As soon as he saw Yuan Tan, he smiled. When Yuan Tan finished giving gifts, he held Yuan Tan's arm with both hands and laughed. "Yuan Xiansi, we met again."

"Yes, I didn't expect to see the king again." Yuan Tan was also very moved.

"This means we are destined to be together." Sun Ce laughed loudly. "My third brother Shubi came to write a book and asked me to greet him. He always remembered the life-saving grace he had done."

Yuan Tan shook his hand repeatedly, saying that he did not dare. He saved Sun Yi's life, and the Sun brothers always remembered it in his heart. Sun Ce also saved his life, but never mentioned it. This moved him very much and admired Sun Ce's character even more. The two sat on the same side, and the host and the host took the seat. After a few words, Yuan Tan stood up on his own initiative.

"King, Rong Suichen introduced several heroes from Jizhou to the king."

"It's hard work." Sun Ce nodded with a smile.

"This is a famous scholar in Julu, Toyota Yuanhao. He is knowledgeable, resourceful, and upright."

Tian Feng came forward to meet him. Sun Ce reached out to help him. "I often heard Wen Zijun mention his wise men, thinking that the wise men in the countryside will be able to see him today, which is enough to comfort my whole life."

Tian Feng said a few words of humility and retreated aside. Yuan Tan pointed at Ju Su again. "This is Ju Su of Guangping, with lofty ambitions and extraordinary strategies. I am sorry that I cannot find the master. My name is burdened by me, and my pearls are covered with dust."

Ju Su stepped forward to see the ceremony, and Sun Ce returned the ceremony. "Guo Fengxiao, if Xun Wen often mentioned Duke and was a strong enemy. Now he turned the enemy into a friend, and I hope Duke and never abandon it and plan a big event together."

Ju Su bowed and bowed again. "The general who defeated the army dared not speak of courage. The minister who destroyed the country dared not speak of wisdom. The King Meng did not kill him, and the luck came to his death."

Yuan Tan introduced Cui Yan again. "Cui Yan and Cui Jigui in Dongwu City were a disciple of Zheng Kangcheng, a great scholar, who was both civil and military, simple and profound, and had the legacy of ancient people. He had traveled in the Central Plains for several years and had a deep understanding of the new policy of the King."

Sun Ce was surprised. "Where did Ji Gui travel?"

Cui Yan bowed and bowed. "The east ended in the sea, south ended in the river, Yan, Yu, Qingxu, all of them were running around." He paused and said, "But Yan did not have no objection to the king's policies."

Sun Ce nodded with a smile. It seems that these people from southern Jilin came prepared. "It's okay, it's not obvious. It's a good thing to have different opinions. Everything is a problem, and it's inevitable that you will miss it. All the wise men need to speak freely." He looked at Cui Yan for a moment and said, "The Cui family in Jizhou has returned to Qinghe for glory."

Cui Yan's heart moved, and then he calmed down, bowed again, and retreated. Yuan Tan then introduced the others, Sun Ce was on the side. With Guo Jia, he was not unfamiliar with the civil and military officials of Jizhou. Xu Kun, who was ordered to take over Yecheng, sent the documents in advance, including the introduction of these people, including their hometown, position, ability, and reputation. It was just a process at the moment. The only surprise he was that he did not see the names of Sima Yi's brothers, but he didn't ask. Sima Yi was from Hanoi and would meet sooner or later, the only difference was that he was an enemy or a friend.

After the hustle and bustle, Sun Ce held a banquet to meet Yuan Tan. The relevant matters had been announced by Xu Kun before. Yuan Tan was the Marquis of Ye and had a fief of 3,000 households, but he himself could not stay in Yecheng and had to move to Jianye. His younger brother Yuan Shang did not have a title and also went to Jianye as a hostage. Tian Feng served as the prime minister of Ye, assisted Xu Kun and stayed in Yecheng. Ju Su joined the Military Affairs Office, counseled military affairs, Cui Yan and others had their own appointments.

In the face of Liu Bei's attack, the Wei State was almost destroyed and had no qualifications to bargain, so they could only leave it to fate. They were very satisfied with Sun Ce's arrangements. As surrendered ministers, it was not easy to have such courtesy.

The only person who has not settled is Guo Tu. As an old minister in the Yuan Shao era, Guo Jia's clan uncle has a high seniority, a very old experience, and he cannot say he has no ability, but his character is too poor, and he is still old, so it is unlikely to expect him to correct it. Sun Ce meant to let him go home to support his old age, but if Guo Jia had to talk about the specific matter, he would not have to come forward.

The banquet was in the middle of the journey, and news came from Quanrou. Zhang Fei and Zhang He learned that Guan Yu was defeated and Lu Nu surrendered, and had no intention of fighting again. They gave up Changshan and retreated to Jingxing Pass. They were preparing to attack the city soon and were about to launch an attack on Jingxing Pass.

The army also submitted a letter to the north of Hebei drafted by Sun Quan. Sun Quan did his homework very carefully, with both the sketch and the text, and even the rivers in Changshan were marked one by one. Although he knew that this should be based on the map of Changshan's county and state maps, and with full soft assistance, Sun Ce was still satisfied that Sun Quan could achieve this in such a short period of time.

Facts show that if Sun Quan was not too ambitious and satisfied with a county, or a general of ten thousand people, he would still be a very competent person.

After the banquet, Sun Ce announced that he would rectify and dredge the water system in Jizhou. He hoped that Tian Feng, Ju Su and others would offer suggestions and give more opinions. There are many problems with the water system in Jizhou. If reasonable planning can be carried out, it can improve the efficiency of land use and inland shipping in Jizhou. If transportation is convenient, industry and commerce will also benefit.

Taking this opportunity, Sun Ce asked Zhen Yan to introduce the preliminary plan. Although Yuan Min and other water conservancy experts had not arrived in Jizhou, Zhen Yan had already started preparations. Based on the maps of various counties and countries, plus on-site inspections, he drew up a rough plan.

Tian Feng, Ju Su and others initially thought that Sun Ce was just taking the opportunity to plunder money and grain from Jizhou - managing rivers requires a lot of manpower and material resources. It is reasonable to collect money and grain from Jizhou for this reason. However, after listening to Zhen Yan's introduction, they realized that Sun Ce was not like this. He really planned to work in Daxing Water Works in Jizhou, and was somewhat surprised.
