"Well, I know, and I've had a few fights. I almost killed him, he almost killed me, and in the end I won a small victory and drove him out of Nanyang. I don't think he's as powerful as you say, what kind of ruler of the world, a hero of troubled times. ”

Xu Shao closed his mouth tightly and decided not to say a word to Sun Ce again, this selling melons is too rude, and it is very cheap to talk to him. No wonder Yuan Shu chose him as his son-in-law, things gather by like, people by groups, all the way.

I can't afford to provoke you, can't I hide from you?

Xu Shao closed the door of communication in his heart and decided to be indifferent to the end. Sun Ce was still unsatisfied, he turned his hands behind his back, turned back and forth twice, and said, "What kind of person do you think Yuan Shao is?" I heard that when he went home to mourn, in order not to be criticized by you, he even dismissed his entourage, you should know about this, right? ”

Xu Shao rolled his eyes and refused to talk to Sun Ce. Evaluating Yuan Shao is an unsolvable problem. On the one hand, Yuan Shao's intention of not being a minister has been clear, everything he did before was to sell his reputation and reputation, what was filial piety for his parents, and what was to accept scholars, all in order to buy people's hearts. The incident that Sun Ce said was typical, and for this alone, he should have given Yuan Shao a hypocritical comment, but could he do that? If you really want to do this, you don't need Yuan Shao's nod, there will be a ranger to take his life. On the other hand, there are a lot of people in the Ruying family who support Yuan Shao, and at this time, saying that Yuan Shao is a hypocrite doesn't offend the Ruying family?

Of course, the most fundamental reason is that the fire virtue of the Han Dynasty has declined, and looking at the world, the person who is most likely to change the dynasty is Yuan Shao. At this time, evaluating Yuan Shao not only has to take risks, but also may bring immeasurable dangers to the family. Since he is famous all over the world for judging people, how can he not know what kind of virtue Yuan Shao and those celebrities around him are, and how can he be willing to invite unwarranted disasters.

Seeing that Xu Shao's golden mouth was difficult to open, Sun Ce smiled and turned over on his horse. He knew that Xu Shao didn't dare to say it, don't look at him all over the world, but he was definitely not a moral person with backbone. If he really has backbone, he will not be forced by Cao Cao to comment with a knife, let alone suppress his brother Xu Jing. He didn't expect to ask Xu Shao to say good things about him, but he didn't want Xu Shao to talk too much and make trouble.

Xu Shao wanted to face Sun Ce, shake his majesty, and let Sun Ce see the atmosphere of Runan Shilin, but he didn't expect to be choked by Sun Ce unceremoniously, and rubbed the fire in his heart, but he didn't dare to attack, so he could only have a cold face and entered Pingyu City all the way.

Before coming to the inner city, Sun Ce stopped his mount and did not leave. Without waiting for Xu Shao to understand, Lei Bo and Chen Lan each led their headquarters to rush to the head of the city along the horse road and control the inner city gate, while Qin Mu led five hundred cavalry forward and lined up on both sides of the avenue. The county soldiers in the city looked at each other when they saw these bright armor and murderous infantry soldiers, and no one dared to do it easily. The first is that Xu Xuan, who is too guarded, did not give them the order to attack, and the second is that these people are obviously not good at stubble, and provoking them is no different from looking for death.

Xu Shao became nervous and forced to calm down. "What do you mean, General?"

Sun Ce patted the leather bag with the official seal on his waist. "I'm sorry for you to inform Xu Fujun, if he refuses to be the Taishou of Runan, I will give him half an hour to pack his luggage and leave his job. If he still wants to do it, then ask him to respect the system of the imperial court. I wear the seal of Yuzhou Mu, and I have the documents of the Taiwei Mansion, acting as the military affairs of Yanyu, and I have arrived in the inner city, and he is still sitting in the hall as the Taishou of Runan, and there is still the court in his eyes, and there is still Taiwei Zhu? ”

Xu Shao was speechless, so he had to bow his hand and hurriedly enter the city.

After a short time, the group hurriedly walked out of it, and the first person was Qiao Rui, who rushed to Sun Ce and showed the seal ribbon in his hand, looking embarrassed. "General, Xu Mengyu hung up the seal and left, and before he could resign to the general, he asked me to ...... to the general."

Sun Ce interrupted Qiao Rui, he didn't believe that Xu Xuan would be so polite, and asked Qiao Rui to apologize to him.

"Gong Qiao, this seal of Runan Taishou will be kept by you for the time being. The country is eventful, and Qiaogong works hard. ”

Qiao Rui was overjoyed, modestly twice, and took advantage of the situation.

This trip was not in vain.

Sun Ce was also very satisfied. It's not okay to fight a tough battle, it's still okay to fight a good fight, it's better than nothing. What makes him even more satisfied is that Qiao Rui has a good attitude, as a senior, he can change his concept so quickly, which is exemplary.

Of course, the most important thing is that he has a pair of twin daughters. If you have his loyalty, you will have the opportunity to hug left and right in the future.

As soon as he thought of Big and Little Qiao, Sun Ce was depressed. After the New Year, he was only seven years old, did Lao Tzu open a kindergarten?

Qiao Rui's new official took office, full of enthusiasm, and asked Sun Ce for instructions on how to deal with this official of the Taishou Mansion. According to the Han system, the Taishou was appointed by the imperial court, and the officials were appointed by the Taishou himself, and they only needed to be approved by the imperial court. Usually the people who can be officials in the Taishou Mansion are the big clans of the county, especially the right positions such as Gong Cao, Wuguan Peng, and Post Supervisor, which are basically controlled by the big clans.

The current Gong Cao is Xu Shao, Xu Shao is obviously not dealing with Sun Ce, Qiao Rui asked for instructions, and simply replaced him.

Sun Ce also wanted to replace Xu Shao, but he thought about it and felt that it was not good to replace him from the beginning. This will make people think that he is narrow-minded and deliberately retaliates against Xu Shao. Although he does hate Xu Shao, but people in this era are good at this tune, whether it is right or wrong, as long as he is against the superior, he is a hero, and now he has Xu Shao, except for adding some fame to Xu Shao and further discrediting himself, there is no practical benefit.

He will not do this kind of thing that has benefited others. The war is imminent, he has more important things to do, and he has no energy to entangle with Xu Shao.

"I won't be in Runan for long, and the person who will work with them in the future will still be you, and you will weigh it yourself. There are two things that I am most concerned about now: one is the soldiers, the other is the food, and I don't care about anything else. ”

Qiao Rui understood and was very satisfied with Sun Ce's trust, and immediately threw himself into the new job with twelve times the enthusiasm.

With Zhu Jun's warrant, Sun Ce justifiably took over Runan County. While selecting elite soldiers from the county soldiers to form people, they also issued a recruitment order to recruit warriors who were healthy, well-behaved, and skilled in martial arts throughout Yuzhou.

This kind of document is aimed at ordinary people, and Sun Ce can write it himself without citing scriptures. In addition to the normal content, he specifically pointed out three reasons for this recruitment: first, it is the responsibility to defend the territory and protect the people; the second is to maintain peace and protect justice; The third is to seal the wife and son, and glorify the ancestors. Therefore, those who are mercenary and want to make a windfall are not sensitive, and they don't want to come.

After listening to Sun Ce's three goals, Xu Shao, who was already angry, sneered and found Sun Ce with the order that Qiao Rui had just drafted.

"Does the general want to refuse the warriors loyal to the court outside the door? Are you fighting for the imperial court, or are you fighting for your grandson's family? ”
