With Zhou Yu in front to supervise the battle, Sun Ce was much easier.

After a long absence, he finally had time to come back to see his mother.

Although she is not her biological mother, Sun Ce is just as filial to her.

Wu Ning's current health is not very good, and the reason for this may be traced back to that escape.

Forced abortion, coupled with the fact that he did not get a rest all the way, and some wind, caused Wu Ning to fall ill.

Every time the spring and autumn seasons change, she will be weak and weak and have night sweats, and even abdominal pain in severe cases.

Fortunately, there are some medical masters in the Southeast General Hall, who have been conditioning with decoction, which has reduced her pain a little.

……

"Ce'er, is Yan Hu's attitude still like that?" Wu Ning asked in a weak voice.

Yan Baihu's real name is Yan Hu, and Baihu is just a number.

"The child didn't want to be too persecuted, but he wanted to do it himself. The mother does not need to worry about such trivial matters, and the child will take care of them. Mothers only need to nurture their children, so as not to worry their children. ”

"You kid...... This temper is the same as that of your father. ”

After the tempering of time and the world, now the mother and son can face Sun Jianlai calmly.

"Father's great cause, the child will be completed, and my grandson's family will definitely win the world."

"The tiger father has no dogs, I believe that Ce'er will succeed in a great cause, but it is just a ......"

"What are Mother's concerns?"

"I heard that you and the Seven Sages are not in good harmony?"

"It must be nonsense, the two virtuous elders are trying their best to help me, but it is the humerus, how can I be like this?"

"If you don't want to say it, I won't ask too much. But I only hope you can know the same as my mother, although my identity is still Yeshuai, but first of all, I am a member of the Sun family. ”

The words can no longer be clear.

Wu Ning's meaning is very clear - if there is really something, I, Wu Ning, will definitely stand on the side of the Sun family.

"Ce'er will definitely keep it in mind."

"By the way, I heard that the Son of Heaven issued an edict to you, ordering you to join forces with Lu Bu to crusade against Yuan Shu?"

Sun Ce was secretly shocked in his heart, this mother who lived in a simple place really couldn't be underestimated.

Everything about herself did not escape her eyes.

"Yes, the child is working on it. What can a mother command? ”

"Everything will be in charge, rest assured for my mother. It's just that...... When he was down, he rescued me after all, besides, the Son of Heaven is now with Cao Cao, and the relationship between Cao Cao and my southeast does not need to be said much. ”

"Mother rest assured, the child will naturally not be reluctant to seek the near and far, the child is just making a show for the Son of Heaven."

After listening to this, Wu Ning nodded and smiled with satisfaction.

Although the fragrance has passed, it is still so moving, and the slightly haggard face is the same as it was back then.

Just mentioning this matter, Sun Ce remembered his previous question again.

What exactly is Cao Cao going to do?

If it's just for revenge, it's enough to just ask yourself to fight with Yuan Shu, why bother with Lu Bu?

Could it be that it was because Emperor Yuan Shu was too threatening to the orthodox Son of Heaven on his side that he had to endure it?

Perhaps......

————————————————

In fact, Sun Ce didn't guess right, because this edict was not Cao Cao's intention.

It is the proposition of Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty.

It's just that he also greeted Cao Cao.

As for the purpose......

One is naturally to unite all forces to deal with Yuan Shu, a traitor.

Second, Liu Xie also wanted to take this opportunity to see how much deterrence the majesty of the Han family still had, because he not only gave an edict to Sun Ce and Lu Bu, but also Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zhan, Zhang Yang, Liu Biao, Zhang Xiu, and even Ma Teng and Han Sui who were far away in Xiliang, Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, and Liu Zhang in Xichuan also received the imperial order.

Of course, there is a third point, that is, Cao Cao's situation is very embarrassing now, in fact, he is also being attacked from all sides, and Liu Xie also wants to take advantage of this move to temporarily divert the attention of the people of the world.

Lu Bu went to attack Yuan Shu, killing two birds with one stone, not only for the time being, but also to relieve the pressure on Xiahou Yuan's side.

Liu Biao and Zhang Xiu naturally did not obey the order, at most, they sent a few men and horses to garrison the state border, which was considered to be a return to the emperor's order.

But Cao Cao could take this opportunity to draw troops and horses to deal with them with all his might.

Of course, this is a bit unexpected, it is the person who contributed this plan - Yang Biao, who has long been deposed.

Because of his previous identity, Liu Xie can't be too ruthless, and he still has to read the letters of this old minister.

Unexpectedly, in this letter, the general situation of the world was analyzed very thoroughly, and a strategy was put forward for the current problems.

Liu Xie naturally wouldn't have thought that this letter was actually written by Yang Biao's smart son Yang Xiu.

However, seeing that this letter is sincere and does not have any tricks, even Guo Jia, Duan Xuan and others have to admit that this is indeed a good plan.

Therefore, Liu Xie sent the edict out on the same day.

……

Some people are relieved that the problem is solved, and some people are annoyed by the difficulties.

At this time, the baby daughter in front of Dong Cheng was like this.

"Your Majesty is so confused! Loyalty and treachery! The rights and wrongs are unknown! Concubine Dong roared and flicked her sleeves angrily.

"Daughter, shut up!" Dong Cheng was so frightened that he reached forward and wanted to cover her mouth.

"I'm afraid! How? Should loyal ministers be cautious? Can Shechen be arrogant? The more Concubine Dong spoke, the more angry she became.

"Daughter, for my father, I know that you are a big man, but ...... At the moment, Cao Cao didn't do anything ridiculous, so why should you do this. ”

"Do you have to wait until you are like Dong Zhuo back then, annoying the princes from all walks of life, and then come to unite King Qin? Do you want to move west again? ”

"Daughter!" When Dong Cheng heard this, he showed an angry face for the first time.

Only then did Concubine Dong realize that she had lost her words.

After all, my father was also that person's subordinate, and in my heart, I am afraid that there is still a trace of affection.

"What is the response from the four sages?"

"It's strange to say, since the last time I dabbled in it, the four sages haven't been in contact with me, I don't know what it means."

"Humph! Presumably because he was afraid that His Majesty would implicate himself in the investigation, these old ministers of the first emperor only knew how to protect themselves. ”

"All right, daughter. At this time, we have lost the opportunity, so we can only endure it for the time being, and when Cao Cao relaxes, we will eradicate it in one fell swoop. ”

"Hmm......" Concubine Dong slapped the table unwillingly and nodded in agreement.

Then, her gaze turned coldly to the two maids at the door, "Xiaoxiang and Xiaoyu, if half of my father's and daughter's words are spread today, you should know the consequences." ”

The two maids shuddered, turned around in fright, entered the door, and knelt on the ground......
