Cao Cao's envoy came quickly, and the people sent by Sun Ce brought it to Moling in just a few days.

Surprisingly, this time Sun Ce met with the envoy alone.

"I don't know what the angel is called?"

Sun Ce waved away from the people around him, without the slightest respect for the comer, and asked casually.

The cultivation of the people who came was not bad, but he frowned slightly, and did not say anything about it, but just responded: "Back to Wuhou, the last general Jianwei General Jia Kui!" ”

Jia Kui? Haven't heard of it! I guess it's a nobody!

Sun Ce thought about it, but didn't care, and said: "The general is from afar, and he has been tired all the way, so he should have rested for a day or two, why is he in a hurry to see Ben Hou?" ”

Jia Kui's heart sank when he heard this, knowing that the first difficulty of this trip was coming, but he showed a smile on his face, got up and said: "The last general is here to say goodbye to the Hou Ye, oh, no, after today, he is going to be called the prince!" ”

"Huh?"

Sun Ce was stunned, and immediately saw Jia Kui take out an object, and regarded it as a holy decree, and immediately understood, with a little more smile on his face.

Earlier, when he was called the marquis, Sun Ce intended to be the king, he felt that he was no worse than Xiang Yu when Chu and Han were competing for power, and it was time to take off the small characters in the "little overlord" and become a veritable overlord. However, Zhang Zhao and a group of people of insight spoke out to dissuade them, and carried out "intimidation" on the grounds that Gongsun Du had not yet claimed the title of king in the four states. Therefore, in the end, Sun Ce just called Hou and became Wu Hou.

Probably this is one of the only three unpleasant things that Sun Ce has experienced!

What are the three things that you want to say -

First, Sun Jian was killed, and he has not yet taken revenge!

Second, the concubine who fancied was robbed and thrown home!

The third is to be called a marquis, not a king.

When he first gained a foothold in Jiangdong and was called the "Little Overlord", Sun Ce was very happy. But now...... So, this man...... Ay!

Jia Kui reacted very quickly, had a slight judgment on this change, thought about it, and didn't pretend to be a gesture, and simply put the holy decree with both hands on the table in front of Sun Ce. Then, under Sun Ce's sword and tiger gaze, he calmly stepped aside and said, "Master Hou can look at it himself, and Kui will not say much." ”

With a "poof", Sun Ce drew his sword out of its sheath and picked up the holy decree.

Jia Kui took a few more steps back and returned to his position and sat down. It's not that he is dissatisfied with Sun Ce, but to release goodwill, so as not to be "accidentally injured".

After a while, Sun Ce looked at it, and as he thought, the holy decree was to entitle him as the king of Wu. Today, the heroes are rising together, each with extraordinary strength and outstanding reputation, but none of them are kings. There is one who is the emperor, but that was many years ago.

When it came to an end, the joy in Sun Ce's heart gradually receded, he looked up at Jia Kui, and said, "The general should have other intentions here, right?" ”

Jia Kui didn't feel embarrassed at all, and said: "The prince expects things to be like a god, and there will be another instructions from the prime minister in the end." ”

After expressing that the holy decree had nothing to do with what he wanted to say next, he said: "Today, the Ming Duke is powerful, and all the land of Hebei is in the urn, and he has captured Xuzhou across the river to prepare for the south. has swept the momentum of the universe again, and the prime minister is worried that the big man is stolen by this thief, and he often suffocates people of insight in the world who can't help him! ”

"Now the Ming army has a tendency to go south, and the prime minister is afraid that he will lose the first emperor Longen, and he will contact the Quartet with the special order Kui, and want to bring the strength of everyone to repel the Ming army, and even Kuang Fu Han."

"And among the ministers, the prince values the prince the most, so he is destined to come again. He also asked the prince to plan for the people of the Han Dynasty and send troops to help. ”

Before Jia Kui's words, there was a lot of respect.

"The prime minister said that as long as the prince is willing to send troops, there is no need to drive troops to fight, just need to contain him from the side, so that he is afraid and does not dare to do it with all his might."

Jia Kui tempted: "As long as the Ming Duke is repelled at that time, the prime minister is willing to use the land north of the Yangzhou River as the prince's fief!" If Xuzhou is taken again, the prime minister is willing to share it equally with the prince at that time. ”

After listening to this, Sun Ce was really moved.

Xuzhou or something, he doesn't care, what he cares about is Yangzhou in Jiangbei. If he can fully control Yangzhou, he Sun Ce will become a prince who owns Yangzhou and Jiaozhou, and his strength will increase greatly.

Sun Ce was not carried away, and said: "This matter is very important, and Rong Gu will think about it." ”

A trace of pity flashed in Jia Kui's eyes, but then he disappeared, and said respectfully: "What the prince said is extremely true, it is the last general who is in a hurry." ”

After a pause, Jia Kui said again: "The prime minister only gave the last general a month, and now it is almost halfway, please forgive me, and the last general will leave for the north in three days." ”

Three days? Hum!

Sun Ce's heart was cold, but he still said: "Then General Lao will stay for three days." ”

Immediately, Sun Ce called his subordinates and instructed Haosheng to take care of Jia Kui, and then called Zhang Zhao and others.

However, after Zhang Zhao and the others arrived, it was not the place where they saw Jia Kui before, but another place.

"Meet Wu Hou!" Zhang Zhao and the others bowed together.

Just being called the prince, and now being called the Hou Ye, Sun Ce couldn't help but feel a little awkward in his heart, waved his hand and said, "Everyone, please get up!" ”

"Xie Wuhou!"

The slight change, others did not notice, but they were still looked at by the meticulous Zhang Zhao, and they couldn't help but chuckle in their hearts: Suffered, who did Wu Hou be filled with ecstasy?

"Let's take a look, let's talk about what to do now, right?" Sun Ce casually threw down the holy decree and said as if he didn't care. Before Zhang Zhao and others arrived, he had already been tested by people, and it was not poisonous.

However, his attitude made Zhang Zhao even more vigilant.

"King Wu? This ...... "Lu Su is an honest man, picked up the holy decree, looked at it fixedly, and was immediately stunned.

When Zhang Zhao and the others heard this, they immediately came up, and they were all full of consternation.

After a while, Zhang Zhao spoke first: "Wu Hou, don't do it!" ”

"No?" Sun Ce said without any emotion.

Zhang Zhao already understood what was wrong, but he could only grit his teeth and say: "A different surname can't be crowned a king!" This is an iron law, and if it is broken, it will become the target of everyone! Prime Minister Cao Cheng's move is to crown the king of Wu Hou, and it is clearly to roast Wu Hou on the fire! ”

"So what do you say?"

Sun Ce also knew this, but he couldn't stand the evil thoughts in his heart, and said unhappily: "Is it disrespectful to let Benhou resist the will?" ”

"This ......," Zhang Zhao said.

If you receive the order, you will become the target of the public!

If you don't accept it, you are disrespectful!

How to choose?

Lu Su came back to his senses and said: "Marquis Wu, the minister also feels that it is inappropriate, if he is called king here, he will be criticized by others, and people of insight in the world will no longer have the heart to serve Marquis Wu." ”

Angered, Sun Ce also calmed down a little, and said, "But how can the charge of disrespect be pushed away?" ”

Lu Su smiled faintly, as if he was in his chest, and said: "Since Gaozu has a saying, a different surname cannot be crowned a king, Wu Hou naturally respects Gaozu and does not dare to disobey it in the slightest." ”

After a pause, he said: "For example, Liu Bei of Jingzhou, Liu Zhang of Yizhou and other clans have not yet been crowned kings, and Marquis Wu can ask for his life!" Then there is Ming Gongwei and Hainai, and Wu Hou can also ask for his life. ”

"If these people can be crowned kings, how can Wu Hou not be called lonely?"

Sun Ce's eyes suddenly lit up, and he stroked his palms and shouted, "Okay, okay, just do it!" ”

Zhang Zhao and the others didn't have anything to say when they heard this, and they agreed with it. At this time, how could they not see Sun Ce's thoughts! Now that you understand it and have a solution, why make it unhappy.

Then, Sun Ce brought up the matter of the alliance, especially the issue of Yangzhou.

Zhang Zhao felt that it was inappropriate, and he wanted to speak, but Lu Su took the lead: "If Prime Minister Cao Cheng can respond to the invitation of the Marquis of Wu, he will also fulfill Yangzhou's promise, if not, there will be fraud!" ”

Sun Ce was stunned, and then his eyes lit up, and he said: "Zijing really woke up the person in his dream with a word, when it is so, when it is so!" ”

Three days later, Sun Ce replied to Jia Kui with this. Jia Kui's face was ugly at that time, he never thought that Sun Ce would make such a request.

It's just that the three days have arrived, and Sun Ce refuses to see him, so he has to return to Xuchang.

When Jia Kui returned to Xuchang, it was ten days later.

Cao Cao didn't want to agree at first when he heard this unreasonable request, but under the persuasion of Cheng Yu and others, he finally agreed, and immediately entered the palace to ask for the life of Gongsun Du and others.
