Under the lamp, Liu Yao and Xu Shao each took the case and drank wine silently.

The two bad news received in the evening made Liu Yao feel very bad. Xu Gong's death meant that Wu County was lost, and only Yuzhang was left in the six counties in Yangzhou, and his strength was damaged. Taishi Ci's frustration meant that he was not aware of people, improperly employed people, and his reputation was damaged. For a moment, he didn't even know which one was more serious.

It has been less than two months since he accepted the appointment. He has been at a loss and has no chance to complete the task. What should he do next? He has no idea. He has no way to go. He has no way to go. How can he explain to Yuan Shao?

Liu Yao looked at Xu Shao from the corner of his eyes and remembered Xu Shao's suggestions again. There was no other way, so he could only go to Yuzhang. He could not only avoid being attacked by Sun Ce, but also use Yuzhang's troops to counterattack Danyang. Yuzhang has many household registrations, so it would be no problem to gather 30,000 to 50,000 people.

Liu Yao weighed the pros and cons, and coughed. "Zi Jiang."

Xu Shao turned his head and looked at Liu Yao. He was not as drunk as Liu Yao, but he was even more drunk. There were two red gums on his cheeks, even his eyes were red, his eyes were a little confused, and he couldn't find the right direction. When Liu Yao saw it, he couldn't help but sigh. Xu Shao was even more confused than him, and he could only drink to relieve his sorrows. Compared to him, Xu Shao's situation was even more difficult. He was driven out of his hometown by Sun Ce, his reputation was ruined, and he could not return home, so he could only hope to defeat Sun Ce. However, as far as the current situation was concerned, defeating Sun Ce was almost an impossible task.

Perhaps only Yuan Shao can defeat Sun Ce, and Yuan Tan is unlikely to be able to defeat Sun Ce.

Liu Yao stood up and left the table, walked to Xu Shao, grabbed the wine glass from his hand, and pulled him up. "Zi Jiang, don't drink it, drunkenness hurts your body."

"Oh, oh." Xu Shao responded vaguely, struggling to stand up, but his legs were not strong enough, so he could only lean against Liu Yao. Liu Yao was so amused and laughed. He waved and carried Xu Shao up, without putting on his shoes. He left the tent and went straight to Xu Shao's tent beside him. Xu Shao's attendant hurriedly came forward to greet him. Liu Yao stretched out his hand and pushed him away, walked straight to the inner tent, put Xu Shao down, turned around and was about to leave, but Xu Shao pulled his sleeves.

"Go to Yuzhang, go to Yuzhang." Xu Shao muttered vaguely.

"Okay, I'll go to Yuzhang. You have a good rest and discuss it tomorrow."

"No, go to Yuzhang." Xu Shao grabbed Liu Yao tightly. "Avoid the real and go to Yuzhang, attack Lujiang, Jiujiang, Cheng Pu, and Wu Jingzhong, are not the opponents of the envoys." After Xu Shao said that, he relaxed his hand, lay on the bed, and slept soundly.

Liu Yao's eyebrows trembled. He stood still and did not move. He turned his eyes and felt that although Xu Shao was drunk, he made some sense. His mission was not to seize Yangzhou, but to make Sun Ce unable to deploy calmly. When his strength was not as strong as Sun Ce and could not fight head-on, of course, he should avoid the real and go to the false. Sun Ce was good at fighting, but Cheng Pu and Wu Jing were not so strong. If he could break into Jiangbei from Yuzhang, how could Sun Ce sit still?

"Xu Zijiang, it seems you should drink more wine." Liu Yao raised his head and laughed, with his hands behind his back, and walked out. Back at his big tent, he brought the map and drank while looking. The more he looked, the more he felt that the plan was good, so he pushed away the wine and food, spread the pen and ink, and wrote a letter to Yuan Shao. When he went to Yuzhang, he must work with senior officials and needed to give Yuan Shao a message.

——

Guanzhong.

Xun Yu frowned, picked up the letter on the desk and read it again, put it down gently, pressed it with two fingers, and pushed it in front of Yang Biao.

Yang Biao put away the letter, but his eyes kept staring at Xun Yu. The letter was written by Yang Xiu. It was half a month ago. Sun Ce had just defeated Xu Gong. Xu Gong was defeated very quickly, and he was defeated miserably. The entire army was wiped out and no one survived. But this was not a problem that Yang Biao was worried about. Before the victory or defeat was decided, the Wujun family turned to Sun Ce. This was the biggest problem.

The Wujun family turned to Sun Ce, can Xu Gong still be defeated?

"Wenruo, why do I think that letting Sun Ce go to Kuaiji is to let the tiger return to the mountain? In just a few days, Danyang and Wujun made a mistake one after another, leaving only Yuzhang in the whole Yangzhou. If Zhou Shu, the prefect of Yuzhang, provoked Sun Ce like Zhou Xin, would Yuzhang be gone? "

Xun Yu sighed softly. "Yes, Zhou Xin, Xu Gong was defeated so quickly, which is indeed surprising. From this, it can be seen that the scholars of classics can calm down but cannot regulate chaos. It is not only necessary for the court to revive the martial arts spirit, but also speed up the pace."

"What did you say?" Yang Biao was stunned, doubting that he had not heard clearly. He felt that Xun Yu was pretending to be confused. He didn't mean that at all. He was doubting Xun Yu's decision to ask Sun Ce to go to Yangzhou, rather than discussing whether Shangwu was necessary.

"Mr. Yang, am I wrong?" Xun Yu was very calm and had a trace of indescribable sadness. "The Zhou brothers are also known as famous scholars in Kuaiji, Xu Shao and Xu Jing are also famous scholars in Runan. They are still the judges who presided over Yuedanping, but in front of Sun Ce, they were defeated like a mountain and collapsed with one blow."

Yang Biao was speechless.

"Following forward, Dong Zhuo was in chaos and Shandong prefectures and counties fought against Dong. He was very powerful and had a gathering of famous scholars and heroes. But how many people dared to fight with Dong Zhuo? No one was a famous scholar. Only Sun Jian could win the battle. The famous scholars only knew how to drink and drink high, and the food was exhausted. How could they have the ability to fight?"

Yang Biao took a deep breath and slowly vomited it out again. After repeated several times, he suppressed the anger in his heart. Xun Yu's words were very harsh, but he had to admit that what Xun Yu said was the truth. Nowadays, the famous scholars could only sit down and talk about it. Facing the Sun family's father and son, they were helpless and useless.

If there are highlights, the only highlight is probably the warrior named Taishi Ci. Although he failed to attack Sun Ce, he was able to escape under Sun Ce's encirclement. Perhaps Xun Yu is right. It is useless to deal with people like Sun Ce.

"The martial arts competition can be held. But have you ever thought that the court can grant official titles, but it may not be able to use them as much as Sun Ce. Can Sun Ce allow thieves like Gan Ning and Zulang to stand alone, and the court can do it? Wen Ruo, Sun Ce is a military man, and he has enough confidence to control these military men, but the court does not. If the elected people are rebellious and do not obey the court's orders, wouldn't there be another Sun Ce?"

Xun Yu was silent for a long time. "If there is another Sun Ce, it can only be said that the Han Dynasty is so lucky, and it cannot be saved by human resources. Planning is up to others, success is the first, and God's will is so, what can we do?"

Yang Biao was very unhappy and shouted in a deep voice: "Wenruo, how could you say that?"

Xun Yu stood up, lowered his arms, walked to the door, stopped again, and looked at Yang Biao slightly. "Duke Yang, in extraordinary times, you should do extraordinary strategies. Extraordinary achievements should be used. You should wait for extraordinary people. Look forward to the front and back, and ask for complete reproach, and you can only sit and wait for death. The saint said that to establish virtue and meritoriousness and make words. Looking at the world, no one can see a complete person. Even a saint can only establish virtue and words. If you have never made merit, what else can you hope for? Wait for a saint to come from heaven?"

Yang Biao was speechless, watching Xun Yu put on his shoes, walked out, and fell into the night.

Suddenly, a lightning bolt illuminated Xun Yu's slightly hunched back. Xun Yu raised his head, looked at the sky, sighed softly, and quickly walked away. Yang Biao was startled by the lightning and did not come back to his senses for a long time. It was not until the rumbling thunder rushed from a distance and exploded in his ears that he realized and walked quickly to the corridor.

The raindrops as big as beans fell, and in a moment it was raining heavily. The yard was filled with shallow water and the air became a little cooler.

Yang Biao looked pale and murmured: "The solar eclipse in the first month, and the thunder in the second month, the yin energy is strong and the yang energy is weak, and the ministers are strong and the monarch is weak. This is an ominous sign."

Xie Shuyou received a reward of 10,000 points, and added another chapter. I feel like there is a new leader again, haha.
Chapter completed!
