For the next period of time, Yang Fan was busy preparing for military military and attacking Jizhou, while asking people to search for sulfur mines everywhere. It was so busy that it was not unreasonable.

After the emperor issued a series of reward edicts, the heads of You, Ji, Qing, Yan, Xu and Yu also calmed down very tacitly. Everyone knew that these were Yang Fan's operations behind the scenes. However, when they saw the edict with the emperor's royal seal, even a hero like Liu Bei who was not exposed to his happiness and anger, he could not help but feel fluctuated.

However, the Central Plains were crisscrossed, and even if Liu Bei had that intention, he would not dare to take the lead.

On this day, Wu County, Yangzhou, Wu County.

After more than a month of sorting out, Sun Ce roughly sorted out the affairs of several counties in Yangzhou.

Sun Ce, whose power has developed, has a clear ambition.

Looking at the room full of civil servants and military generals, Sun Ce felt like he was in a dream, as if he was in a three-year autumn yesterday.

As a Yangzhou detacher, Sun Shao took the lead and said, "Lord, the emperor appointed Cao Cao and Liu Bei as the governor of Yuzhou at the same time. It can be seen that after the autumn harvest, Yuan Shu's life will not be very easy!"

Sun Ce smiled and said, "I thought Yuan Shu was not in love with him at the beginning. He deserved it!"

Zhou Yu stepped out and said: "Yangzhou is a new era when everything is in trouble. Our army only needs to guard across the river and wait for the changes in the current situation."

However, Zhang Zhao suddenly spoke out: "I heard that when Envoy Sun returned to Jiangdong, Yuan Shu sent someone to remind Envoy Sun. I wonder if this matter is true?"

Sun Ce was stunned when he heard this, thought about the past carefully, and nodded, "This is indeed the case!"

Zhang Zhao glanced at the people in the room and said softly: "Yuan Shu once had kindness to the envoy Sun. Now Yuan Shu is in trouble. If he sends someone to ask for help, then lord, will you send troops? If you send troops, you will be enemies with Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others. First, you will consume food and grass, which will not be worth the loss; second, you will lose troops and generals, and you will not be able to do it; third, you will also be incompatible with Cao Cao and Liu Bei at the same time, which is not what a wise man does."

Sun Ce frowned slightly and asked, "If you don't send troops, what will you do?"

Zhang Zhao replied: "If you don't send troops, you may be sick. If Yuan Shu promotes his lord's actions of not repaying his kindness, he will miss out on many literati and heroes in the world. In this way, for me, Jiangdong, it will be like cutting off the firewood from the bottom of a pot and hitting the deadline."

Sun Ce said angrily: "It's not that I don't send troops, it's not that I don't send troops. Zhang Zhao, what do you want to say?"

This was just a normal communication, and Sun Ce was extremely angry, which made Zhang Zhao feel a little frightened and said to him that Sun Ce was not really fond of fame, but was angry, so he felt like he fell into an ice cave, as if he was staring at by a ferocious beast.

Seeing Zhang Zhao silent, Sun Ce then turned to look at Zhou Yu and asked, "Gongjin, how do you think this matter should be resolved?"

Zhou Yu frowned and analyzed, "If Cao Cao and Liu Bei attacked Yuan Shu at the same time, then Yuan Shu would definitely send someone to Jiangdong for help. Yuan Shu had many wise men under his tent. If the lord did not send troops, it would be as if Lord Zhang had said. Since this matter was mentioned by Lord Zhang, he must have good advice. Lord Zhang might as well listen to Lord Zhang's idea first."

At this time, Zhang Zhao also came to his senses and quickly bowed to Sun Ce and said, "Lord, since Yuan Shu cannot be an ally, why don't we send him a trip?"

A strange look flashed in Sun Ce's eyes, and he asked faintly: "Zhang Zhao, how do you understand this? What does it mean to send him a trip?"

Zhang Zhao laughed and said, "Isn't it because of the imperial seal when Sun Envoy Sun died? And Yuan Shu once sent someone to remind him that it wasn't because of this thing? I have a plan to make Yuan Shu survive this year."

Zhou Yu's expression changed slightly. After hearing Zhang Zhao mention the imperial seal twice, it can be seen that the next strategy he wants to talk about must be related to the imperial seal. However, Sun Jian died because of this thing. Now if he wants Sun Ce to take it out again, it is like pulling his teeth from a tiger's mouth.

As he thought about it, Zhou Yu looked at Sun Ce. Sure enough, Sun Ce's face was dark and his eyes were filled with anger.

Zhang Zhao was not afraid at all and said, "Yuan Shu came from a prominent family and had a high opinion of himself. He has always underestimated the heroes of the world. However, these are also the foundation of Yuan Shu's establishment. He has many civil and military personnel, including many contemporary famous scholars, heroes, and the most soldiers. Even if Cao Cao and Liu Bei were willing to swallow Yuan, they were still guarding against each other. How could they send troops to attack? Now, Yangzhou has been newly established, it will take several years to rectify the administration, restore people's livelihood, and enrich the army. At such a critical time, how can the lord take care of others?"

Sun Ce was obviously confused by Zhang Zhao's words, and asked angrily: "Zibu, what do you want to say? Why am I becoming more confused the more I listened?"

Zhang Zhao smiled and said, "The lord is determined to be the whole world. How can he destroy the great situation in Jiangdong just for the sake of Yuan Shu? Besides, Yang Fan and Yuan Shao in the north must have a battle. If Yang Fan really allows him to gain You and Jizhou, then in this world, who else can stop the Yang family army's army's army?"

Cheng Pu frowned and said, "Now there are Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Yuan Shu around the Central Plains. Zibu, you want to deal with Yang Fan? This is too ambitious."

Zhang Zhao shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Preparing for the future, I believe Zhou Gongjin would be worried about this matter, right?"

Zhou Yu's eyes flashed and he did not dare to look at Sun Ce. Obviously, he had considered this matter. However, Sun Ce had a good relationship with Yang Fan. It was really difficult for him to make him, a passionate young man with a straightforward personality, suddenly go to give a son to his elders who took good care of him in the past.

Since the matter has been broken, Zhou Yu had to bite the bullet and said, "My lord, what Lord Zhang said is indeed reasonable. At most, the battle between Yang Fan and Yuan Shao will last for three years. No matter who they unified the north, they will form a tiger going down the mountain. At that time, the Central Plains will still be covered with sand, wouldn't this tiger have an opportunity to take advantage of it? Besides, the Yang family army's military's sharp military strength is, how could you not know? In addition, the civil officials under his command are like rain and the fierce generals are like clouds. Can Cao Cao and Liu Bei and others really resist it?"

Sun Ce was very upset. He knew that he would meet Yang Fan one day, but he didn't expect that this day would come so quickly.

However, after hearing this, Sun Ce also heard it and said that Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu's ideas were to unify the Central Plains, so that only then could someone stop the Yang family's army from moving south.

Thinking of this, Sun Ce said: "Why not join forces with Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others to destroy Yuan Shu first, and then compete with Cao Cao and Liu Bei for the Central Plains?"

"No!"

Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao both spoke out to dissuade them at the same time.

Sun Ce was stunned when he saw this. He didn't expect that the two wise men under his command would persuade him at the same time. He asked suspiciously: "Gongjin, Zibu, why not?"

After Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao looked at each other, they could see the solemn expression in each other's eyes. Then, Zhou Yu took the lead and said: "Lord, the Central Plains is a flat horse. Our army is mostly infantry. Now we have set a strategy to defend across the river. In the future, our army will definitely be dominated by naval troops. How can we seize the Central Plains? Even if we really grab it, our army will not be able to defend it!"

After not getting involved in the main business for a long time, Sun Ce was really angry and shouted: "This is not OK, that is not OK. What do you two want to say? Get it so hard and say it at once."

Zhang Zhao stepped forward and analyzed: "Lord, as the saying goes, if there are too many wolves, the two tigers will fight each other. The three princes in the Central Plains seem to have many battles, but they are just small fights. They are all worried about when the third party will intervene. If this continues, they will only be defeated one by one by the Yang family army. Our Jiangdong army already has several counties in Yangzhou. There is no need to get involved in the Central Plains at present. However, we must also increase the fire and let the Central Plains fight. Whether it is Cao Cao's family dominance or Cao and Liu Erhu fight, they can fight while preventing others' invasion. We must create such a situation, which is the most beneficial time for us. Lord, you might as well think about it. The Central Plains is in chaos and the war is endless. Our army can free up hands to attack Liu Biao's Jingzhou. I want to compare with the four battles in the Central Plains. Jingzhou is the best choice for our army!"

Zhou Yu continued, saying, "That's right, Jingzhou is a rich place. If our army takes it, we can enter the mountains and rivers of Bashu in the west and the Central Plains in the east. Even after the north is unified, our army can compete with us."

Until now, Sun Ce understood what Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu said. They wanted Sun Ce to stir up the Central Plains first, and then they could safely and boldly attack Jingzhou.

In fact, it is not necessary for Sun Ce to take action, Cao Cao, Yuan Shu and Liu Bei from the Central Plains can fight. However, the battle between Yang Fan and Yuan Shao is about to break out, and no one knows how long it will take.

Yang Fan's literary and martial arts are much better than Yuan Shao, and the Yang family army is a contemporary leader. Who can guarantee that Yuan Shao can really beat Yang Fan? If it is not guaranteed, he will be determined by others in a battle.

If Yuan Shao really couldn't stop the Yang family's army's military, wouldn't the other princes be disrupted? Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu were all wise as monsters, so how could they not see the truth? In their opinion, only by taking action first can they be able to take action later and suffer?

After hesitating for a while, Sun Ce asked: "How to stir up the princes of the Central Plains? They are not fools!"

Zhang Zhao smiled slightly and said, "If the lord is willing to give up the pain and give up love, then he will be most sure that they can fight!"

Sun Ce asked with a ugly expression: "Is it on that piece of imperial seal?"

Zhang Zhao nodded and smiled, "That is, if the lord is willing to give the imperial seal in his hand to Yuan Shu, then Yuan Shu will definitely think that he is the one who is destined to be the one who is destined to be. As long as there is a fire, it is not impossible for him to establish a country and become an emperor. By then, no one can save him!"

"What?"

"Do you want to take out the imperial seal?"

"How can the old lord, who worked hard and lost his life, get the imperial seal back so easily?"

"I don't agree!"
