Seeing Guo Jia and Zhang Hong arguing, Sun Ce did not stop him. Differences exist objectively, and it is better to say them than to hide them in your heart, and stimulating each other may stimulate their enthusiasm more. Of course, this also brings him difficulties, and if he can't think on his own initiative, he can be easily misled. After all, they are all emotional people, not omniscient and omnipotent, absolutely objective and rational machines, and no matter how smart people are, they will be biased.

Zhang Hong reminded that the two problems objectively exist, Xiliang people have a bad reputation, and they are brutal by nature, cruel and easy to kill, if it is said that killing people is sometimes forced to kill, boiling people in a cauldron, or wrapping them in a cloth soaked in lard and burning them alive, it can only show that they are indeed not good people. Forming an alliance with such people will not only have a reputation effect, but also be careful that they will backlash.

Jia Xu is a typical example of this, he has nothing to talk about morality, everything is to ensure his own interests first.

Sun Ce remembered the mysterious man again, so he told Jiang Gan about Jia Xu giving him Xiang Yudao, and asked him if he had noticed the relevant situation. Jiang Gan understood as soon as he heard it. He has always felt that Jia Xu has something to hide from him, and he doesn't make decisions directly on many things, as if he wants to discuss with someone. At first, he thought it was Niu Fu, Dong Yue and others, but later found out that Niu Fu and Dong Yue were martial artists at all, and they obeyed Jia Xu's words, so he suspected that someone else was there, and he tried several times, but he never found Jia Xu's flaws.

"Jia Xu doesn't leak, but I don't get nothing. I talked to Zhang Ji, Li Dao and others under Niu Fu, and in addition to Jia Xu, Dong Zhuo's subordinates originally had a strategist named Li Ru. Jia Xu went out with Niu Fu, and Li Ru stayed in Chang'an, because he advised Dong Zhuo to be wary of Wang Yun and Lu Bu, but he was snubbed by Dong Zhuo and often stayed in Yiwu, so he may have escaped. ”

Guo Jia frowned slightly. "Is it the one who killed King Hongnon?"

"Yes, he is a native of Zuo Feng Yiyang, he was recruited as a doctor, and his knowledge should be good, but his background is average, and his career has always been very bleak. When Dong Zhuo was stationed in Hedong, he rushed to serve, and at that time, Dong Zhuo had no wise men under his command, so he obeyed his words and entrusted him as a confidant. Dong Zhuo's actions after entering Luoyang were almost all planned by him. Later, Dong Zhuo wanted to accept the heart of the world and recruited celebrities and celebrities, but he strongly opposed it, so he slowly centrifugal. ”

Zhang Hong stroked his beard and groaned silently. Guo Jia smiled bitterly and scratched his eyebrows. Sun Ce was relieved. He had already guessed that it might be Li Ru, but he couldn't be sure. In the romance, it is said that Li Ru and Dong Zhuo were killed almost at the same time, but in history, Li Ru did not die at that time, and Li Dao recommended him to serve as a servant when he was in power, but was rejected by Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. It is not surprising that he fled to Hedong with Xiang Yudao.

Sun Ce didn't care too much, one or two strategists didn't make a difference, they had to be attached to a strong military force, and they had to be fully trusted to be effective. No matter how strong Li Ru is, he may not be stronger than Jia Xu, let alone surpass Zhang Hong and Guo Jia, so you don't have to worry too much about him, just let Guo Jia pay attention to this person.

Sun Ce immediately arranged for someone to send the news back to Runan, asked Sun Jian and Zhang Zhao to send some boats, and contacted Liu Chong, the king of Chen, and asked him to lead a strong crossbow soldier to escort him. The matter of inviting Liu Pet out of the mountain was handled by Sun Ce, Zhu Jun had already issued an official document in the name of the Taiwei Mansion, and Sun Ce could act as ordered.

Speaking of which, after all, Zhu Jun has little reading, not many rules and regulations, and the situation is grim, as long as he can help King Qin, Sun Ce will agree to do it, saving Sun Ce a lot of trouble. It's still a bit good to have a captain on it.

——

Runan, Pingyu.

Sun Jian watched Sun Quan and Sun Yi draw their bows and arrows, and continuously shot at the grass man who was neutral, showing a pleased smile. After studying archery with Chen Wang and Liu Pet for more than two months, these children's archery skills have improved significantly, and they can already be counted as a qualified crossbowman.

"Bo Fu made a good decision." Sun Jian nodded with satisfaction and said to Mrs. Wu on the side: "Even if I am asked to teach in person, it is impossible to progress so fast." ”

Mrs. Wu smiled lightly and glanced at him. "It's really rare to hear your quarry, and now I know how good he is? When you were out fighting, he supported this family. Even this Yuzhou is taken care of by him, and I haven't heard you praise him for being good. ”

"My son, how can it be bad." Sun Jian tugged at his neatly trimmed short beard, revealing a little smugness. "It's because Bo Fu is good that I can't exaggerate easily, otherwise he will be proud. His temperament was already flamboyant, and if he praised him a few more words, his tail would not reach the sky. ”

"That's right, this kid is fine with everything else, but it's a little frivolous. In the end, it was my dereliction of duty that failed to urge him to study hard. ”

"Alright, ma'am, it's beyond my expectation that you'll be able to teach a few children like this. Our Sun family did not have the seed of study. Sun Jian turned his head and glanced at Sun Kuang, who was standing quietly aside. Just Ah Kuang is quieter, and he may be able to read more books in the future, and none of the others will live in peace. ”

"Aweng, do you mean me?" Sun Shangxiang jumped over and asked, leaning his neck.

"Of course there's you, especially you, a female doll dancing with swords and swords all day long, like what." Sun Jian picked up Sun Shangxiang, held it high, and put it on his shoulder. Although the mouth is reproachful, the tone is full of doting. Among several children, Sun Shangxiang's arrows shoot the best, seven or eight out of ten with a bow, eight or nine out of ten with a crossbow, she was born a good seedling, Sun Jian really didn't pay attention to her before, but now she is the most favorite little daughter.

Mrs. Wu's face sank. Seeing this, Sun Shangxiang stuck out his tongue and took the initiative to slip down. Sun Jian was a little unhappy. "Madam, Shang Xiang is not ...... though"

Mrs. Wu glared at Sun Jian. Sun Jian obediently swallowed back the words that followed. Sun Shangxiang smiled and said: "Mother, I know, I know, I will be a general in the future, I can't be too naughty, I'm going to ride a horse." With that, he turned around and ran.

Sun Jian blinked. She ...... What did you just say? She's going to be a general? ”

"Bo Fu promised her." Mrs. Wu snorted: "You threw yourself in the barracks whenever you were free, these children in the family, what did you care about besides watching them practice martial arts." After speaking, he turned around and left with the maid, leaving Sun Jian there alone.

Sun Jian was very embarrassed, and just about to say something, a messenger hurriedly walked over, stood still in front of Sun Jian, and offered a copper pipe in both hands.

"General, the Taiwei Mansion is urgent."

Sun Jian hurriedly took it, opened the copper pipe, took out the command inside, unfolded it, glanced at it, his thick eyebrows couldn't help but raise, and a smile bloomed from the corner of his eyes. "This kid really didn't disappoint me. Haha......" He turned to Sun He and said, "Bohai, keep an eye on them, don't let them get hurt." ”

Sun He bowed down to receive the order.

Sun Jian took Han Dang and the two personal guards, turned over his horse, and galloped towards the Taishou Mansion.
