After Zhou Yu left, Sun Ce learned from the pain, feeling that his strength was not strong enough, and he was not powerful enough, so he could only be at the mercy of Yuan Shu.

And when you have a strong power, you can make your own decisions!

Therefore, Sun Ce wants to rise up, expand his power by attacking the city, and make his own decisions!

So at the beginning of the second year of Xingping, Sun Ce began his own operation to attack Jiangdong.

On the way to Shouchun, Zhou Yu was actually thinking.

Thinking about it, I feel that Sun Ce may not be able to succeed.

With his innate conditions, in fact, it is very difficult to start a business in Jiangdong, killing Lu Kang will bring great obstacles to Sun Ce, and the Jiangdong Lu clan will inevitably rebel en masse, can Sun Ce go on?

His family is in Lujiang, in Shu County, and in Jiangbei, for the sake of his family, he must not resist Yuan Shu.

The current Sun Ce is actually not able to let Zhou Yu advocate entrusting the future of the family, and in the future, he still has to wait and see.

Sun Ce's friend Zhou Yu is first of all a son of the Lujiang Zhou family, and Zhou Yu has never forgotten this.

For the safety of the Lujiang Zhou family and the future of the Zhou family, Zhou Yu must suppress the emotional tendency in his heart, take interests as the first orientation, and always remember to safeguard the interests and future of the family.

And then there's the personal feelings.

This is a qualified child of the scholar family.

At this moment, not only Yuan Shu, but even Zhou Yu would not have expected what Sun Ce could do in Jiangdong.

Zhou Yu soon followed his uncle Zhou Shang to Shouchun, where Zhou Yu attended a banquet and met Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu heard what Zhou Yu was doing in Jiangdong, admired Zhou Yu very much, was very close to Zhou Yu, asked him about his studies, and his words were full of wanting to recruit him.

However, Zhou Yu felt something different from Yuan Shu's words.

After the banquet, Zhou Yu and Zhou Shang had a conversation.

"Some time ago, the matter of the unicorn coming into the world spread widely in the Shouchun area, and the wild words of the Han Dynasty when Tu Gaoye also spread inexplicably, uncle, don't you think this matter has anything to do with General Yuan?"

Zhou Yu expressed his worries to Zhou Shang: "This kind of thing about the birth of the Qilin, I just heard that there have been people who have really seen the Qilin, mostly hearsay, or made up by people with bad intentions, there is no such thing at all, so who else is in charge?" ”

Zhou Shang touched his beard, and his heart was also beating a drum.

At first glance, this means of disseminating information is the exclusive means of the children of the scholars.

Let some news spread quickly within a certain range and soon cover this range, which was a special means for the children of the scholar clan to make a name for themselves in the past, except for the children of the scholar clan, Haoqiang and the like who want to use it are not qualified.

Zhou Shang, who has experienced filial piety, has a deep understanding of this.

"Gong Jin, you mean, we can't serve Yuan Highway?"

"If Yuan Highway has the intention of usurping, then the matter will really make a big fuss, if our Zhou clan really serves him and is reused by him, won't it be difficult to ride a tiger at that time?"

Zhou Yu admonished Zhou Shang and said: "At this time, it is best for us to wait and see the changes, and not rashly take effect, otherwise once the incident happens, Zhou's situation will be very unfavorable. ”

Zhou Shang took a deep breath, still a little frightened and worried in his heart.

"But Yuan Highway has already occupied Lujiang, and we are also under his control, how can we offend him? Yuan Highway is not an ordinary person, he did it. ”

"This is easy to do, Yuan Highway wants to attract me to serve by his side, so I use my youth and lack of experience as an excuse to ask him to be released as an official and avoid Shouchun, my uncle may not be able to avoid it for the time being, but then he can also use illness as an excuse to ask to return to his hometown to recuperate."

Zhou Yu thought for a while and said: "The main thing is that you can't take up your post in Shouchun at this time, if Yuan Highway really wants to usurp and rebel, can Shouchun officials still avoid accepting false positions?" When the time comes, how can you wash away the rebellion of the Han Dynasty? ”

"What Gong Jin said is reasonable."

Zhou Shang nodded, leaned less, and asked: "The Son of Heaven is held hostage by the people of Liangzhou, his prestige is lost, and the Han family is crumbling in the world. Of the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, Yuan Highway occupies eight of them, if these forces really want to be called emperors, is there anyone else who can compete with them? ”

Zhou Yu shook his head again and again.

"Uncle, Yuan Highway is very powerful, but is this really Yuan Highway alone? Yuan Highway's power has spread to the land of eight states, but is Yuan Highway alone in charge of the land of these eight states? ”

"What do you mean?"

"In the north, Ji Qingyou and Yan Wuzhou are in charge of the Zhendong general Guo Zifeng, he is the real master of the five states, Xuzhou is the head of the general Xuzhou Mu Tao Gongzu, he is the lord of Xuzhou, Sun Bofu expelled Liu Miao to conquer Yangzhou, Yangzhou in the south of the river, is the land of Sun Bofu's prancing horse.

What Yuan Highway really controls is nothing more than most of Yuzhou and northern Yangzhou, Yuan Highway claims to control the land of eight states, and the world is turbulent under an order, but that requires Guo Zifeng, Tao Gongzu and Sun Bofu to really obey his orders. ”

Zhou Yu talked eloquently.

Zhou Shang nodded slightly.

"What Gong Jin means is that these three people may betray Yuan Highway at any time?"

"If Yuan Highway is not the emperor, it is difficult to say, once the emperor is proclaimed, doesn't my uncle think that this is the best time for them to betray? Especially Guo Zifeng, who is in charge of the land of the five states, with no less than 200,000 armor, is he really willing to be driven by Yuan Highway? ”

Zhou Shang frowned.

"But Guo Zifeng and Yuan Highway are said to have been friends for a long time, this ......"

"Don't be happy with things, don't be sad about yourself, live in the temple and worry about its people, worry about its king when you are far away from the rivers and lakes, worry about the worries of the world first, and enjoy the joy of the world after the world, can people who can say such things echo Yuan Highway's usurpation?"

Zhou Yu's words made Zhou Shang suddenly realize.

I was immersed in Guo Peng's lofty and noble ambitions before, but I didn't notice this.

"From this point of view, Gong Jin's idea is correct, if Yuan Highway rashly becomes the emperor, I am afraid that it will be a catastrophe, and at that time...... Gong Jin, we may have to prepare in advance, otherwise once the war starts, the clan will suffer! ”

Zhou Shang immediately made a decision, and Zhou Yu also nodded in agreement, feeling that Zhou Shang's idea was right.

So Zhou Shang and Zhou Yu acted according to the plan, and Zhou Yu proposed to Yuan Shu that he was inexperienced, young, inexperienced, and needed to be experienced, and asked Yuan Shu for the position of head of the nest.

Yuan Shu felt that there was nothing wrong with this, he was busy with the matter of becoming the emperor, and he didn't have time to pay too much attention to Zhou Yu, so he nodded and agreed.

And not long after, Zhou Shang said that he was sick and wanted to return to his hometown to recuperate, he didn't think much about it, Yuan Highway wanted to be the emperor, and he didn't care much about this kind of trivial matter.

So Zhou successfully withdrew from Yuan Shu's side, and was on the bank of the Yangtze River, watching the situation at any time, if the situation is good, he will not cross the river, if the situation is out of control, then depending on the situation, or cross the river, or simply go north.

The choice of the nobles is by no means the only one.
