Zhu Jun garrisoned Luoyang, but Sun Jian's military camp was not in Luoyang City, but near the mound in the south of the city. Nearby is Taixue, Mingtang, used to be the most lively place around Luoyang, but now except for the barracks, there are almost no people in sight, full of ruins, weeds and trees.

Sun Jian stood under the mound, watched Sun Ce walk from a distance, and glanced back at Zhang Hong.

"Sir, what can't you say to me, do you have to let him come?"

Zhang Hong smiled. "Naturally, it's something that can only be said between father and son. Generals, monarchs and ministers are monarchs and ministers, and fathers and sons are fathers and sons, there is still a difference. ”

Sun Jian smiled and shook his head. "I really don't understand the mind of you readers. But it's useless for him to come, I've already made up my mind, and I won't change it. ”

Zhang Hong was confident and smiled without saying a word. He turned sideways and glanced at the mound behind him. The mound is the place where the Son of Heaven worships the sky on the winter solstice, and it is the higher place in the south of the city. Sun Jian stationed troops nearby, but forbade all soldiers to enter the vicinity of the mound, not even to threak grass. Sun Jian hadn't read any books, but this did not affect his feelings for the imperial court. Maybe it's not loyalty, it's just a kind of gratitude, gratitude to the first emperor.

He was able to be a county official and pay homage to the general, although it was because of the support of Zang Min, Zhang Wen, Zhu Jun and others, but in the final analysis, he still needs the grace of the Son of Heaven. It is precisely because of this gratitude that he became the most brave one among the princes of Dong, recovering Luoyang, filling in the imperial tomb, and supporting more than 100,000 troops Yuan Shao did not do, he did it all alone.

It's a pity that he has no martial arts, but he doesn't understand politics. He is a sword, but he holds it in the hands of others.

In the distance, Sun Ce dismounted and walked alone. He walked slowly, but steadily, with his head down, and walked very firmly, step by step. Walking in front of him, Sun Ce arched his hand to Sun Jian. "Awn." and arched his hand to Zhang Hong. "Sir."

Zhang Hong returned the salute. "General, you father and son talk, I'll go see the scenery."

Sun Jian nodded, watched Zhang Hong slowly walk away, and turned his gaze back to Sun Ce's face. "Do you know what this place is?"

"Yes." Sun Ce raised his head for the first time and looked at the mound not far away. "The place where the Son of Heaven worships the heavens."

"Then why don't you have a little respect? I saw you coming all the way without even raising your head. ”

Sun Ce picked his eyelids and smiled without answering. He took off the leather bag on his waist, took out the official seal of Yuzhou Mu from it, checked it in his hand, and handed it to Sun Jian. Sun Jian took it, but he didn't understand what it meant, and looked at Sun Ce suspiciously.

"The matter in Yuzhou is too troublesome, I can't handle it, so you should go by yourself." Sun Ce said.

Sun Jian glared at Sun Ce, smiled, and handed back the official seal. Sun Ce didn't answer. Sun Jian said: "Okay, don't be petty. The reason why I want King Qin is because of the trouble in Yuzhou, I can't do it well, but you can do it better than me. I, King Qin, you guard Yuzhou, and our father and son have their own strengths. ”

Sun Ce shook his head. "Ah Weng, when it comes to marching and fighting, I am also better than you. If you have to be Qinwang, it's better for me to go, it's safer. ”

Sun Jian's face sank. "You've only fought a few times, and you dare to make a big fuss in front of me, don't you know that the arrogant army will be defeated......

"I wiped out Xu Rong's 20,000 elites in one battle."

Sun Jian choked, glared at Sun Ce, and didn't speak for a long time. He glared at Sun Ce fiercely. "Do you know how dangerous this battle is?"

"Please ask Ah Weng for advice."

"The army is on a long-distance expedition, and the transportation of grain and grass is a big problem. The situation in Luoyang, as you have seen, simply cannot afford the supply of the army. The counties of Shandong attacked separately, and no one would provide support. This is one of them; Hangu Road is dangerous in the world, the car is not divided into tracks, the horse is not saddled, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The second is also; Niu Fu and Dong Yue are stationed in Hedong, eyeing me at any time. This is also the third. With this trilemma, this time King Qin has no ...... to return"

Sun Ce interrupted Sun Jian. "Why do you want to go if you have to go and you don't have to return?"

Sun Jian turned around, looked up at the tall mound, and was silent for a long time. "Bo Fu, I must go. My grandson's family came from a humble background and was not valued by the world. I fought hard for half my life, invited the luck of heaven, and was knighted as the Marquis of Wucheng, ranking 2,000 stones, which was the grace of the first emperor. If I am in trouble today, if I hold back, what will the world think of me? I will go to King Qin, if I can get away with it, and take the Son of Heaven back to Luoyang, I will be worthy of the first emperor. In case of death, he can also win the name of loyalty, and the Sun family will no longer be looked down upon by the world. ”

He turned around and looked at Sun Ce. "Bo Fu, this is my responsibility, not yours, you don't have to take this risk. Besides, although you are young, you know how to govern the Tao, you can win the hearts of scholars, and you can govern Yuzhou and Jingzhou well, which I can't do. I have been a Changsha Taishou for several years, except for a small military exploit, I have no political achievements to be called, and I am not as good as you in the past few months......"

Sun Ce interrupted Sun Jian again. "Ah Weng, have you ever thought that by doing this, you have achieved your reputation for loyalty, but made me an unfilial son?"

Sun Jian was speechless again, and only after a while did he mutter: "How come, how come, people in the world are still sensible......"

"It's a pity that those sensible people can't speak now, but the ones who can speak are Wang Yun and Yuan Shao. For the sake of their own interests, they dare to do anything and say anything. Yuan Shao killed the Yuan family, do you see that some people say that he is unfilial? But if you die, I will definitely bear the name of unfilial piety. Not to mention anything else, I will definitely not be able to do it as a pastor in Yuzhou, and I can't escape from filial piety for three years, right? ”

Sun Jian's face was pale, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Ah Weng, you go to be your Yuzhou pastor, and I will take care of King Qin's affairs. I will go out on your behalf to conquer the king of Qin, you have to be loyal, I have to be filial, the best of both worlds. ”

Sun Jian pondered for a long time and shook his head slowly but resolutely. "No, you can't go to King Qin. It's a trap, but not for me, but for you. Because of this, you can't go even more. If you go, you won't be able to come back. If you can't come back, whether it is Zhang Hong, Guo Jia, or Pang Tong, Pang Shanmin, or even Zhou Yu, they will definitely leave. I can't hold Yuzhou, and I can't hold Nanyang. ”

"Then let's not go."

"That's not going to work either." Sun Jian muttered. He raised his hand and slapped his forehead, caught in a dilemma. This is a dilemma, no matter whether they go or not, no matter who goes, the Sun family will lose nothing.

Sun Ce didn't speak either. He knew that it would be difficult to convince Sun Jian, but he had to convince Sun Jian. If you want to convince him, you must first cut off his thoughts, let him have no way out, and then give him a hope, and he will listen. If a solution had been given in the first place, he would not have agreed.

"Bo Fu, you say, what should we do?"

"Ah Weng, you go back to Yuzhou first, I will stay in Luoyang and find a way to persuade Taiwei Zhu. If you can persuade him, then of course everything will be fine. If you can't persuade you, I'll go to King Qin. You went, and there was more than one bad luck. If I go, maybe someone will die, but who will die, I really don't know. Xu Rong was killed by me, and Wang Yun, a scholar, is nothing. Sun Ce said slowly: "Ah Weng, when it comes to combat, you are my guide. When it comes to pit people, I am self-taught and outstanding. ”

Sun Jian was still hesitating, and Sun Ce said in a begging tone from Yan Yang: "Ah Weng, why did Guo Fengxiao rush to Yingchuan, you must come to me?" It's because they think I can convince you. If I can't, they'll think I'm limited in my abilities, and who will follow me in the future? Help, okay? ”

Sun Jian stared at Sun Ce for a long time, burst out laughing, and raised his hand to pat Sun Ce. "Shaft, who did you learn this from, flamboyant, not serious." The smile was unfolded, and he sighed ashamedly. "Bo Fu, my father is not up to the task. It's just that I can't shelter you from the wind and rain, and I want you to solve my problems. ”
