On this day, it was the time to pay tribute to Sun Jian every month, and Sun Ce still came to Sun Jian's grave as usual, burned incense to worship, burned incense to buckle his head, and cleaned the weeds and soil around the mausoleum.

The rules of the ancients were complicated, and a short memorial process took almost a whole morning, and when everything was done, it was already close to noon.

Just when Sun Ce had just finished paying tribute to Sun Jian's mausoleum, he saw a carriage in the distance slowly driving towards Sun Jian's tomb, and on the carriage, a handsome young man who looked extremely handsome and was so handsome that men would blush when they saw him was smiling at Sun Ce friendly.

Seeing the visitor, Sun Ce was stunned.

When the carriage approached, the man got out of the carriage and ordered his servants to place the offerings in the food box in front of Sun Jian's tombstone, and then respectfully bowed.

"Uncle Sun, my little nephew has come to see you."

The handsome man's tone was sad, and a little tear flashed in his eyes.

Sun Ce had already come back to his senses at this time, he sighed and said to the handsome man, "Gong Jin, why are you here?"

Zhou Yu wiped away his tears, turned his head to look at Sun Ce, and said with emotion: "Since Uncle Sun left, my brother moved my aunt away from Shu County and returned to Fuyang...... Shicai went to Sun's ancestral house, and after meeting your aunt, you knew that you were filial piety in front of your uncle's tomb. ”

Sun Ce suddenly let out an "oh" and said with emotion: "Brother Xian is really hearted, Brother Fool is here to thank Brother Gao Yi for his father." ”

Zhou Yu smiled when he heard this, and that handsome smile seemed to be able to dissolve the iceberg, warm the world, and illuminate the earth.

"Brother, when the younger brother came, he ordered someone to prepare some side dishes, let's sit and talk, the younger brother has something to say to the elder brother."

Zhou Yu and Sun Ce were born in the same year, but Zhou Yu has always regarded Sun Ce as a younger brother.

In the middle of nowon, the two of them rested and chatted in the reed shed next to Sun Jian's tombstone.

"Brother can you know that Dong Zhuo died, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's momentum was overwhelming, and the Tao family in Xuzhou also became famous because of his participation in this battle."

Sun Ce's expression was neither happy nor angry, and he said lightly: "Although I am at the time of mourning, I dare not be the slightest neglect of the world's major events, and I naturally know what the virtuous brother said." ”

Zhou Yu said eagerly: "In this case, how can my brother still stay here?"

Sun Ce replied with a wry smile: "If you can't sit still, what can you do now, but you are still in the mourning period, can you still go out and fight with them......

Zhou Yu shook his head firmly, and said: "The potters in Jinling City are not like you, I heard that before his teacher Huangfu Song died, he strictly ordered the potters to only keep a three-day mourning for him, otherwise he would no longer be a master and apprentice, this matter is known to the world...... Why are they so Gayin pottery merchants and Huangfu Song both know that the current turbulent times are different from the time of Qingping, and there are instantaneous changes all the time, just like Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's leader Guandong, the defeat of Yuan Shuwei, the rise of the Taiping prince in the southeast, the defeat of Gongsun Zhanjieqiao, the death of Dong Zhuohan Guguan, and the competition for power in Chang'an, almost all of them happened at the time of thunder, when this chaotic season, if the elder brother blindly sits, he will only miss the opportunity! ”

Sun Ce didn't speak when he heard this, he was quietly thinking about the meaning of Zhou Yu's words.

"Gong Jin's words are very reasonable, but even if I can ask my mother and clans to come forward and save me the rest of the year's mourning period, but the difficult thing is that my father's old soldiers are now led by Sun Ben, all under the command of Yuan Shu, even if I want to succeed, but I can't get the military power back, I'm afraid it will be difficult to spread my wings."

Zhou Yu laughed when he heard this.

He pointed to Sun Ce, and then pointed to his feet, and said: "Since the death of my uncle, my brother has been living in this land of Fuyang all these years, you haven't seen Yuan Shu for a long time, where will you know what he is thinking and the foolish brother has been living in Shucheng, and he knows Yuan Shu's current situation very well, he is not the high-spirited Yuan Highway who swept the south of the Yangtze River back then!" ”

Sun Ce said in surprise when he heard this: "What does Gong Jin mean by this, what is the difference between Yuan Shu now and at the beginning?"

Zhou Yu replied with a smile: "In the battle of Wet Whisker Dock, Yuan Shu was defeated by the potters again and again, and was attacked by Liu Biao to take Nanyang County, not only lost the battle, but also lost the fundamentals, with Yuan Highway's narrow temperament, how could he swallow this breath The potters in Jinling City developed rapidly and had a good reputation, I heard that in the battle of Shouyang Mountain, Lu Bu's red rabbit horses were all surrendered by him!" With such a might, even if Yuan Shu had the intention to fight, he did not dare to move lightly, he was very afraid of the defeat of the last time. ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Yu paused and said, "Under Yuan Shu, there is a shortage of available people." ”

Speaking of this, Sun Ce seemed to understand what Zhou Yu meant.

"What Gong Jin means is that if Brother Fool goes back to help Yuan Shu now, Yuan Shu is likely to be reused as a brother, and then he can take the opportunity to ...... as a brother."

Zhou Yu was very happy when he saw Sun Ce's understanding, and praised him: "Brother is wise!" Yes, the surname Yuan is now in his heart, the most hated person is the potter, as long as the brother goes to him to tell the potter is not the same day, willing to crusade for his wish, I believe that it should not be difficult to get back the former soldiers and horses, and if the brother wants to achieve a great cause, it must be according to the Jiangdong realm...... In this way, the potters occupied Danyang County and held Yangzhou Assassin Liu Xiang hostage, and he was afraid that he also intended to take all of Jiangnan, and this person would be his brother's opponent sooner or later. ”

Sun Ce sighed helplessly: "It's a pity that I'm alone now, but I may not be able to compete with the potter." ”

"There is a foolish brother here, recruiting Jiangnan heroes for his brother, and my brother is backing up Yuan Shu, so he may not lose the Taiping son."

When Sun Ce heard that Zhou Yu was willing to help him, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

It must be known that although Zhou Yu is young, he is talented and full of resourcefulness, which can be described as the crown of young talents in the land of Jianghuai.

What made Sun Ce even more excited was that the Zhou family was a wealthy family in Lujiang County - and it was definitely not an ordinary wealthy family.

Although the Lujiang Zhou family has not been famous for a long time, only more than 100 years, but since the Eastern Han Dynasty Zhanghe years, the Zhou family has Zhou Jing and Zhou Zhong as Taiwei in the past three generations, among which Zhou Jing has also served as Sikong, and for more than 100 years, Shang Shulang, Guanglu Doctor, Dasi Nong, will be a master craftsman, Taishou, the prime minister, and the county order Zhou family has always been endless, and the influence of the Zhou family on both sides of the Jianghuai River is very great.

If Yuan Shao is the third prince of the fourth world, then Zhou Yu can be regarded as the door of the third prince of the two worlds.

With the help of such a gatekeeper, Sun Ce naturally has a lot more confidence than before in terms of recruiting talents and obtaining political resources.

It seems that the time has come for him to go out of the mountains to dominate the world and compete with the heroes!

……

……

After the potter sent Wang Yun away, he immediately began his next move in Jinling City.

He didn't know if Wang Yun could become an immortal, but there was a person in Xiapi who was living a fairy-like life, and this person was the target that the potter was about to solve.

People who live more nourishing than the prince of the peace generally don't end well.

This person who has a nourishing life is Tao Qian's old friend, and he is in harmony with each other.

He cut off the taxes of the two armies, embezzled them privately, built Buddhist temples, and required the people of Xiapi to recite Buddhist scriptures day and night, and also recruited monks everywhere, so that the monks, nuns and Buddhists from the counties near Xiapi moved into Xiapi, up to more than 5,000 households before and after.

This guy is simply the rhythm of learning from the west!

Wang Yun has just become a Taoist priest over there, and the pottery merchant is a son-in-law, so he should help Wang Lao Xian Chang pick up this fake monk! Create an ideal paradise where monks and Taoists can coexist.

Fight fake monks, a must!

In addition, there is Sheng Xian of Wu County, who has long ago placed those water thief leaders who are unwilling to be attributed to Wang Hua in various counties of Wu County, and it is in the name of Liu Xuan, the assassin of Yangzhou, so at least on the bright side, Sheng Xian has no way to disobey this arrangement of the potters.

Now, it's time to wrap things up.

Guangling County, Xiapi County, Wu County...... Take this opportunity to take it together.

The opponents are not some very powerful characters, it can be said that they are scabies, and since they are scabies, the potters do not want to delay too much time on them.

When he went to the Central Plains to crusade against Dong Zhuo, the follow-up work of Wu County and other places was entrusted to Chen Deng and Han Hao, and now it was time to ask the two of them what they wanted.

In the land of the three counties, Tutu first pushed Wu County, and on the other side of Wu County, there were already those water leaders who wanted to rule the county seat alone because of the potters......

"In addition to Gan Ning, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin and the other three, those water thief leaders who led the troops to Wu County and wanted to rule the county alone, how are they now, Sheng Xian and they still get along well," the potter asked Chen Deng and Han Hao.

After listening to the potter's question, Chen Deng and Han Hao glanced at each other meaningfully.

"Well, how can I say it" Han Hao stroked the beard on his chin and said slowly: "You can't enter, you can't retreat, you can't say that you are an official or not, and you can't say that you are a bandit." ”

"What do you mean?" the potter was a little confused.

Han Hao began to slowly explain to the pottery merchants: "At the beginning, the prince appointed them to various counties under Wu County as garrisons, and at the same time supplemented them with the seal and ribbon edict of Liu Xuan, the assassin of Yangzhou, which can be said to be justifiable, Wu County is too conservative with Sheng Xian, whether it is in name or in action, it is not reasonable, and can only be resigned, but Sheng Xian is the head of a county after all, and some things cannot be openly resisted on the surface, but they can still be secretly resisted in private. ”
