Zhang Xun took the lead and walked in accompanied by Yan Xiang. When he passed in front of Sun Ce's case, he paused, but he didn't stop, and went directly to the hall, saluted in front of Yuan Shu's spirit, and admired Yuan Shu's remains, and two lines of old tears burst out of his eyes.

"Highway, why is it here?"

The generals entered the door one after another, some stopped in front of Sun Ce, bowed their hands, and recognized Sun Ce's identity, while others were the same as Zhang Xun, just glanced at Sun Ce, and then hesitated, or arrogantly, and went directly to the hall to worship Yuan Shu.

Sisters Huang Yi and Yuan Quan returned the salute one by one, and there was a cry in the hall.

Chen Yu did not come, nor did his younger brother Chen Cong and several lieutenants under his tent. After coming over for a while, Qin Mu sent someone to report that the Chen Yu brothers took more than 100 cronies out of the camp and went east, asking if they wanted to chase them.

Sun Ce ordered not to chase him, let him go. This is infighting, not the enemy. He is already a winner, and he must have the demeanor of a winner, and there is no need to rush to kill everything. Moreover, he believed that the contest between him and Chen Yu was only over temporarily, and the dust had not settled.

And let you live a few more days.

Under the command of Cai Yong, the funeral was orderly, and Sun Ce didn't need to worry about it at all. Seeing that the big thing had been decided, Sun Ce came to the side courtyard.

Wen Ping was already waiting, Zhou Yu was also there, and the two were laughing in a low voice, but they were smiling politely. Seeing Sun Ce enter the door, they greeted him. Zhou Yu looked at Sun Ce, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

"The general is a good means."

Sun Ce waved his hand, disapproving. "It's just a group of scholars, it's not worth mentioning." He took out the military report, "Zhongye, things have changed, you must set off immediately." I will arrange a few people for you, all of them are reliable, and the subordinate soldiers are mainly from Nanyang, and you choose all the way. ”

After reading the military report, Wen Ping didn't say anything, and bowed down to receive the order. Sun Ce asked people to invite Chang Nu and a few other old Yuan Shu departments to explain the situation, but Chang Nu simply handed over the military power, but refused to leave Wancheng. He wants to guard Yuan Shu's spirit.

Sun Ce agreed, and asked Chang Nu to accompany Wen Ping to take over his men. When Wen Ping went out, he seemed to have something to say, but he didn't say anything after all, and hurriedly followed Chang Nu out of the yard, turned on his horse, and galloped away.

"I didn't expect this barbarian to be quite loyal." Zhou Yu said with a smile.

"Barbarian? Slaves? ”

"Don't you see? How can a normal person have a name like that. Although he has a bun and a face that is no different from a Han person, I am sure that he is not a Han person, either a Wuhuan person or a Xianbei person. General Yuan has been a captain of Changshui, and it is normal for a few barbarians to be his personal entourage. ”

Sun Ce woke up like a dream, no wonder Chang Nu's reaction just now was so fierce. He shuddered. Chang Nu is Yuan Shu's personal entourage, and they almost rebelled with Chen Yu, wouldn't the others be more dangerous? It's a shame to react in time, otherwise there will be a big mess this time. Zhou Yu is reminding him not to be complacent, to guard against arrogance and rashness.

Seeing Sun Ce's awe-inspiring expression, Zhou Yu knew that he had understood what he meant, and his words changed. "Although Wen Zhongye didn't say it just now, you should understand what he wants to say, right?"

"I should be worried that I will retaliate against Nanyang Haoqiang."

"Are you going to do that?"

"Do you have any good suggestions?"

Zhou Yu smiled, clenched his fist, and gently slapped Sun Ce's shoulder. "Alright, I know you have an idea, but I still want to remind you. The reason why Chen Yu was able to gather so many people was because General Yuan's decision was unreasonable, and second, you were too young, and it was difficult for others to believe you. Chen Yu is a scholar and a foreigner, and he has no foundation, so he is not a problem. Nanyang is the emperor's hometown, heroic like a cloud, even if you occupy Wancheng, the decree is not out of thirty miles, if you want to be the real lord of Nanyang, you still have many opponents to conquer one by one. The road is long, and you should go up and down and seek. ”

Sun Ce laughed. "With Gongjin with you, even if it's a long road, why be afraid? Gong Jin, I'm worried that Wuguan won't be able to hold it, and a new test will come soon. This time, the opponent is more confrontational than Chen Yu, you have to be mentally prepared. ”

"Yes, the civil strife has been settled, the people are panicking, the strong enemy has suddenly arrived, and Wancheng is ruined, and our trouble is not small. Bo Fu, when this time of crisis, the role of the veteran is not comparable to leisure. Don't fight for the moment, because the small loses the big. ”

Sun Ce will understand. Zhou Yu said so much, didn't he just want to remind him not to just care about happiness and revenge, killing rivers of blood, and finally cheapening Xu Rong. He is not so stupid, although there must be necessary punishment, and those who should be killed must be killed, but there are many ways to kill, and it is not necessary to use a knife.

Killing people with their own hands, blood splashing in five steps is cool, but that's a stupid thing done by rough people, smart people kill people, they don't even get a drop of blood on their bodies, and they don't even touch the knife with their hands.

——

Zhang Xun finished worshipping Yuan Shu and turned around to go down the hall.

Yan Xiang chased to the gate of the courtyard, stopped Zhang Xun, and said earnestly: "Brother Yuangong, you are the old general, and the general has always regarded you as a confidant and trusts you. Are you worthy of the general if you leave now? ”

Zhang Xun sighed and resolutely pushed Yan Xiang's hand away. "Highway has a discerning eye for people, made the best choice, and with the help of a wise man like Yuantu, I believe that his last wish will be realized. The new lord ascends the throne, and we, the old ministers, have to let it go, otherwise it won't be hindered. What's more, I have no eyes, made a big mistake, and almost became a rebel, even if General Sun doesn't care about me, what face do I have to sit here and talk nonsense? Yuantu, I have made up my mind, so don't persuade me anymore. ”

Yan Xiang was helpless, so he had to let go of his hand. Zhang Xun turned around and beckoned his relatives to lead the horse, but saw Sun Ce leading a horse and standing quietly behind him.

"General, you are ......"

Sun Ce said with a smile: "This is the horse I stole from the general, return it to the general, may the general have a safe journey all the way to Yecheng." ”

Zhang Xun's face suddenly sank, and he said in a cold voice: "Don't worry, general, even if I, Zhang Xun, starve to death, I won't go to Yecheng, otherwise I'd rather turn into a lonely ghost in the future than dare to face General Yuan." I hope that the general will work hard to fulfill General Yuan's last wish, and do not let Yuan Shao gain his will, so that I will not become a disgrace to the people under his rule, and I will be grateful. ”

"If you don't vote for Yuan Shao, it means that you still have a love for General Yuan, but you want to run away when you make a mistake, what kind of righteousness is this? Hold a grudge against me for stealing your horse? Well, I'll just give the horse back. ”

"...... you" Zhang Xun's face turned red, and he didn't know how to answer Sun Ce. In a trance, he had an illusion, how could this Sun Ce's nonsense and brutal virtue be exactly the same as Yuan Shu? If there is a difference, it is that Sun Ce is more difficult than Yuan Shu.

Sun Ce couldn't help but say something, and stuffed the reins of the horse into Zhang Xun's hands. "Let me tell you, you can't leave now, pay off your debts and leave, otherwise, I will sue in front of General Yuan's spirit every day, and let him go to you in the middle of the night, so that you will never live in peace." Without waiting for Zhang Xun to speak, he turned around and left.

Zhang Xun couldn't laugh or cry. "This ...... What's going on? ”

Yan Xiang couldn't help but laugh. "Whether to stay to pay off the debt, or wait for General Yuan to come to the door to collect the debt, you can think about it yourself, I can't help." After saying that, he shrugged his shoulders and turned around and slipped away, leaving Zhang Xun alone in the wind.
