Now that he said these words, Tao didn't hesitate at all.

"Oh, Gongjin plans to go to Xuchang?"

"What about me?"

Sun Ce had some regrets on his face. To be honest, after seeing Zhou Yu appear in front of him, Sun Ce was extremely excited.

He wanted to take Zhou Yu back to Wu County, but he didn't expect that Zhou Yu would express his intention to go to Xuchang at this time.

"Haha, when did Bo Fu become so reserved?"

After seeing Sun Ce's expression, Zhou Yu couldn't help but chuckle.

Then his face couldn't help but become serious.

Seeing that there was no one else nearby, Zhou Yu spoke directly to Sun Ce.

"Bo Fu, I think that Yuan Shu is not a long-term person. You need to make plans early this time. Now that there is Wu County and the land of Shouchun, it is the right time for development!"

"I have heard that he wants to form an alliance with Lu Bu, but I think it will be difficult for the two of them to deal with Cao Cao."

Zhou Yu spoke frankly.

Not to mention that there is a drama in Xuchang and Fengyi is in charge, even the uncle and nephew of the Xun family in Yingchuan are not simple figures.

What's more, now all the soldiers are rushing towards Xuchang.

How can Lu Bu and Yuan Shu compare to the talented people under Cao Cao?

Furthermore, Xuchang still has the emperor in charge.

Cao Cao occupies the great righteousness of the imperial court.

For various reasons, Zhou Yu is not optimistic about Yuan Shu at all.

After a pause, Zhou Yu continued: "Bo Fu, let me ask you a question!"

"Do you still remember the aspirations you and I have in our hearts?"

"Of course I remember!"

After hearing Zhou Yu's question, Sun Ce nodded without hesitation.

Hearing this, Zhou Yu laughed: "In that case, it's okay to go to Xuchang later. This time I will follow you back to Wu County first!"

"To be honest, if you forget your ambition back then, I will inevitably go to Xuchang to join the rumored drama Fengyi!"

Zhou Yu made a joke.

When it comes to Xi Yu, Sun Ce is also a little curious.

According to the current rumors in the world, Naxi Fengyi is not only a man of heavenly wisdom and talent, but also a man of heavenly talent in terms of force.

For such a person, Sun Ce himself is curious.

In terms of intelligence, Sun Ce has no doubts, but about force.

Sun Ce still wanted to see something in his heart.

At this time, Sun Ce couldn't help but curl his lips when he heard that his good brother praised Xi Yu so much.

"The reputation of the play Fengyi is so great. I think Gong Jin's strategy is definitely no less than that of others!"

"Why belittle yourself so much?"

Sun Ce lifted his brother, and Zhou Yu waved his hand.

"Bo Fu, you should know that there are very few people in this world that I can admire!"

"But in my heart, I admire the talent of Fengyi!"

"When I was in Juchao County this time, I kept checking the news about Xi Fengyi. An article on the Six Kingdoms in the Han Dynasty newspaper directly pointed to the current situation in the world!"

"Furthermore, its policies are now extremely effective in Yanzhou and Xuzhou. Even Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu in Hebei Province have copied the policies."

"All these things show his talents, and this is just the tip of the iceberg of the other party!"

Zhou Yu's admiration for Xi Yu was not concealed at all. After hearing these words, Sun Ce could not refute.

However, now that his brother could give up going to Xuchang and return to Wu County with him, he was deeply touched.

Warmth rises in the chest.

The two sat in front of the stone table in the courtyard, drinking wine one after another.

After a while, the two of them got very drunk.

The next day.

Sun Ce bid farewell to Yuan Shu, who relied on Sun Ce and agreed to let him leave with some of Sun Jian's old troops.

Under such circumstances, Sun Ce did not force it. It would be good if he could return with some of his father's generals.

Today, Sun Bi, Sun Xiang and others are still serving under Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu still has some trust in Sun Ce.

Mid-July.

Just after Sun Ce and Zhou Yu returned to Wuxian, Wang Pu, the emissary who brought the edict from Xuchang, also just arrived in Wuxian.

The visitor came from Xuchang, and Sun Ce immediately took Zhou Yu to invite him to the government office.

"I've met General Sun!"

"Meet Wang Yilang"

After Wang Pu arrived in Wu County, he did not act like a court envoy.

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were also extremely polite.

After greeting each other, Sun Ce immediately invited the other party to take a seat.

"General Sun, this is the imperial edict appointed by the imperial court!"

Wang Pu came up and got straight to the point, handing the imperial edict to Sun Ce directly.

After Sun Ce took it casually, he spread it out in front of Zhou Yu.

Write a letter on it.

Appoint Sun Ce as the Han Dynasty Cavalry Commander, inheriting his father Sun Jian's title of Marquis of Wucheng.

Seeing the content, Sun Ce just frowned slightly.

He wanted to dismiss him even though he had the title of Captain of Cavalry. Cao Cao looked down upon him a little too low.

After reading the edict, Sun Ce did not speak for the first time.

Seeing the other party's reaction, Wang Pu knew that the professional title given by Cao Sikong to the other party was a bit low.

This is dissatisfying!

However, he has the right to act expediently during this trip, so he is not in a hurry.

At this moment, Sun Ce glanced at Wang Pu indifferently.

"May I ask Wang Yilang, what does Cao Sikong mean by this?"

This question is too direct. Logically speaking, the imperial edict was issued by the imperial court. No matter how dissatisfied Sun Ce is, what does it have to do with Cao Sikong?

But if you say these words directly, the meaning is already clear.

What Sun Ce means is, I know this edict was given to me by you, Cao Cao, the Marquis of Sun Jian, but he doesn't have any objections.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

But he doesn’t want to take the title of Cavalry Commander!

Hearing this, Wang Pu was not surprised at all.

"Yuan Shu does not respect the imperial court. Sikong intends to let the general attack Yuan Shu. I wonder what the general thinks?"

Wang Pu did not try to hide it at all, and directly said what Cao Cao told him before leaving.

Upon hearing this, Sun Ce curled up his lips.

Just a cavalry captain who wants to get closer to Cao Cao and attack Yuan Shu is looking down on him too much.

If Zhou Yu hadn't winked at him from the side, he would have kicked Wang Pu out immediately.

"The Marquis of Wucheng is my father's title, and it is natural for me to inherit it. However, please inform Cao Sikong of the post of Cavalry Commander, I am sorry that I cannot accept it!"

Sun Ce spoke directly, and Wang Pu's eyebrows twitched.

"General, don't be impatient!"

"I have already obtained the general's wishes. Why not wait for me to go to the court and tell the general's feelings? I think the court will definitely not treat the general badly!"

People who can serve as messengers are extremely knowledgeable.

After seeing that Sun Ce was dissatisfied, Wang Pu directly told him that he could help Sun Ce.

Of course, he could even directly decide to give Sun Ce a general with no title, but after all, some things should not be too direct.

After hearing what Wang Pu said, Sun Ce smiled.
