Looking at Luoyang City again, Guan Yan, who is in the center of the Han Dynasty, was frowning and looking at the memorial in his hand. It has been ten days! Tao Qian’s memorial has been handed over by Luoyang for ten days! Guan Yan in the court suppressed the matter and did not give a reply immediately, but ten days have passed, and the little emperor has urged him once or twice. Yuan Wei also poked him twice from time to time, waiting for Guan Yan to make a fool of himself.

Guan Yan felt bitter! In the past few years, Guan Yan fought everywhere, Xuzhou, Qingzhou, Jizhou, Liangzhou, Yuzhou, Sili, and most of the Han Dynasty had run away, with victory and defeat, bitter and sweetness; some were heroic, and some were half-suspended in life; this finally stabilized the court and stabilized its status. It was when he accumulated energy and showed his grand plan, but he didn't expect that Xuzhou would come again. It seemed that "using the emperor to command the princes" was not so easy to operate. It could not hurt himself or damage the prestige of the court. Alas! It was harder! What was even more annoying is that Chen Deng was in the vast Taihang Mountains, Ju Su went to sue Ju Yi, and Xi Zhicai followed Zang Ba and had not returned from Jizhou, and several strategists were not around. What should he do? He could not send troops, but he could not be as strong as his reputation!

In the troubles, Guan Yan suddenly thought of the later "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" when writing about the Battle of Red Cliffs, Sun Quan was hesitant about whether to fight or decline, and his mood was definitely the same as himself. Fortunately, he heard his mother Wu Guotai reminded Sun Ce of the last words "If you don't decide on internal affairs, ask Zhang Zhao, and if you don't decide on external affairs, ask Zhou Yu," which led to the final victory of the Battle of Red Cliffs.

Foreign affairs asked Zhou Yu?! Guan Yan was clever and suddenly stood up. Isn’t Zhou Yu at home?

However, Zhou Yu is only a teenager now. Can you discuss this matter? Take a dead horse as a living horse! I am sure of my thoughts, Guan Yan shouted loudly: "Dian Wei, go and invite Zhou Yu to the study!"

Guan Yan has been here for almost ten years. He is used to wearing Hanfu robe and has a short beard from scholars. He naturally has learned how to cook tea in the literati.

The trend of drinking tea has become popular since the Three Kingdoms, but the technique of tea stir-frying is still very primitive. If you want to drink tea, it is not just a simple rinse of hot water, but also requires cumbersome "tea cooking" technology, and China's "tea art" also began from now on.

It is April in this era, spring is gradually fading, and midsummer is approaching. If the houses of ordinary people are gradually feeling stuffy, it will be dull and difficult to cook tea in a private study. However, this Guan Yan's mansion is designed by a skilled craftsman, and the ventilation and lighting of the study are carefully designed, so there is no discomfort caused by Guan Yan's tea cooking.

The tea in the study was fragrant and the tea was raging. Guan Yan personally presented Zhou Yu with a cup of fragrance and said with a smile: "Sit on the opposite side and carefully, the fragrance of tea is better than wine; come, Gongjin, try the tea that Yan cooks."

Guan Yan sat down slowly, and looked at Zhou Yu and looked at him, but he was still muttering in his heart.

But Guan Yan stared at Zhou Yu and felt a little embarrassed. Zhou Yu was still young after all and had never seen much of the world. Judging from Guan Yan's status, Zhou Yu was already in awe. Now that Guan Yan stared at Zhou Yu like this, Zhou Yu was furious all over.

Zhou Yu's face turned slightly red, he put down the teacup, bowed and said, "General Cavalry, why dare you ask the boy?"

Guan Yan was awakened from his daze by Zhou Yu's question: "Oh oh ~ Gongjin, nothing is serious. When will you and Bo Fu return?"

Zhou Yu stood up and replied, "Jin and his brother have been about to set off for Changsha recently." Zhou Yu glanced at Guan Yan and said thoughtfully, "If there is inconvenience in the general's mansion, we will set off tomorrow!"

When Guan Yan heard this, he knew that Zhou Yu had misunderstood, so he quickly stood up to comfort him: "Gongjin was worried too much, he didn't have such an intention. He just asked casually, just asked casually! Haha."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu sat down and looked at Guan Yan again, waiting for him to speak again.

How can there be no traces when you speak? Guan Yan thought in his mind, but Zhou Yu spoke first: "General Cavalry, when I heard about the war in Xuzhou in Tianyuan Tower that day, I have always liked military and military strategies. I wonder if the general can reveal it, which will also open my eyes?"

Nian relatives always had curiosity. In ancient times, there was no information and the opportunity to understand first-hand, so how could Zhou Yu let it go?

When Guan Yan heard this, he was overjoyed. He was so sleepy that he came to the pillow! He was worried that he didn't know how to speak, but Zhou Yu asked him and gave Guan Yan a chance to strait: "Well, since Gongjin has this intention, I should admit his beauty; and I heard that Gongjin is famous for his talent and knowledge, and he should give him advice if he has some insights!"

Guan Yan gave Zhou Yu a brief speech on the news of the war he had received, and handed over the memorial submitted by Tao Qian to Zhou Yu for him to read it carefully.

This move moved Zhou Yu: Guan Yan was in a high position, and he was in power as the three ministers. He quelled the Yellow Turbans, defeated Han Sui, and killed Dong Zhuo. He had outstanding achievements and extraordinary strategies, but he loved and trusted him so much that he was not yet famous and unknown, which made Zhou Yu's respect for Guan Yan a little more.

Zhou Yu calmed down his mind and read Tao Qian's comments word by word. While reading, he quickly analyzed the information given by Guan Yan in his mind.

After a cup of tea, Zhou Yu slowly put the memorial respectfully back to Guan Yan's desk.

Guan Yan asked expectantly: "What is Gongjin's teaching?"

"I dare not speak out!" Zhou Yu hurriedly stood up and returned the greeting: "What does the general mean?"

This question without any pain made Guan Yan frown: "Gongjin must try each other, but it doesn't matter! Yan's intention is to protect Xuzhou and withdraw Cao's soldiers." Guan Yan raised his eyes and looked at Zhou Yu seriously: "Yan can also tell you: The soldiers in Luoyang are less than 30,000, and it is no longer possible to stop them with weapons and swords! Yan's counselors are not on the side, and no one discusses this matter, and they feel very distressed. Although Gongjin is young, Yan is always talented, and the word "seeking advice" is actually a heartfelt word!"

After saying that, Guan Yan actually stood up in Zhou Yu's surprised gaze and bowed respectfully.

Zhou Yu hurriedly stepped forward and was flattered and half-kneeled, holding up Guan Yan's arms: "General, I'm going to break my mind!"

After Zhou Yu helped Guan Yan to settle down, he glanced at Guan Yan's sincere eyes thoughtfully and said to himself: General Cavalry is so respectful to the wise and the nobles, he is a true hero!

At this time, Zhou Yu was still in the youthful growth stage of worshipping heroes. In fact, in his heart, he was just a brotherly relationship with Sun Ce as a playmate in his childhood, and he was far from forming common values ​​and common goals.

If Guan Yan knew that he was a little artificial and had other destinations of respect for the wise, but subtly changed the direction of Zhou Yu's development during his growth, he would definitely be extremely excited.
