Chapter 28: Jingzhou's Intentions
The news of Yuan Kui's family's execution spread to all parts of the world in just a few months, and Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu's brothers were naturally extremely angry.
They hoped that the princes would march to Chang'an with them, but Cao Cao's experience showed that the princes were unwilling to continue to advance, and Chang'an issued a holy decree to reward the princes, which also made the princes reluctant to attack Chang'an.
Interestingly, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were not rewarded this time, but the last reward was not revoked, so the princes had different thoughts.
Dong Zhuo's departure made the vicinity of Luoyang almost worthless, and the princes, including Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, left Luoyang one after another, and the ancient capital of Luoyang fell into desertion.
It has been a year since the end of the discussion of Dong and his departure from Luoyang, and in this year, Sun Ce has taken the big and small affairs of Danyang into his hands with the help of Fang Xuanling and others, and has become a veritable controller of Danyang County.
"What does Mr. think Sun Ce should do next?"
Sun Ce looked at Jia Xu solemnly, now Jia Xu can be regarded as a return to Sun Ce, of course, Sun Ce does not think that Jia Xu's loyalty can be compared with Xue Rengui.
"Wait! Wait for the chaos in the world, because this first step should not be taken by the lord. ”
Jia Xu said casually.
"Looking at the current situation, I'm afraid that the princes won't be able to act in a short time, when should this be?"
Sun Ce's face was anxious.
"Some people can bear it, some people naturally can't help it, that Yuan Shu is a high-minded and arrogant person, it is not easy to endure it until now, it turns out that he has a reward of Runan Taishou, he will not let go of the opportunity to win Runan County."
Jia Xu said slowly, his calm face looked so confident.
"What Mr. means is that Yuan Shu will soon make a move on Runan County."
Sun Ce frowned slightly.
"Yuan Shu is a person with great ambitions and talents, but he is ambitious, and he does not want to lose to his brother Yuan Shao, the first to do it will inevitably have an extraordinary effect under the intervention of someone with a heart, coupled with Yuan Shu's ambition, Yuan Shu's first move will definitely not be able to escape."
A mysterious smile appeared on Jia Xu's face.
"Then there's Mr. Law!"
Sun Ce naturally understood what Jia Xu meant.
"This is what subordinates should do!"
This lord and a minister made a plan to frame Yuan Shu in just a few words.
"Lord!"
At this moment, Fang Xuanling came in a hurry.
"Why is the teacher so alarmed?"
Sun Ce hurriedly asked.
"Lord, look!"
Fang Xuanling handed a piece of cloth full of words in his hand to Sun Ce, paper came out in this era, but today's paper is still not widely used.
Sun Ce took the cloth and examined it carefully, and soon his face became more and more gloomy.
"Look at it too!"
Sun Ce handed over the cloth to Jia Xu.
"It seems that the lord needs to clean up those villains under him!"
Jia Xu said heavily.
"No, it has nothing to do with them, this matter should be Yuan Shao's doing."
Sun Ce did not accept Jia Xu's suggestion and chose to trust his subordinates.
"But how did Yuan Shao know the truth about this?"
Jia Xu firmly believed that there was something wrong with Sun Ce's subordinates.
"The people I sent are all people who have followed my father from birth to death for many years, and who are loyal to my Sun family, there is no reason to take the initiative to betray me, the reason why I say Yuan Shao is because I offended him, and I happened to be the first to lead troops into the city, so Yuan Shao naturally borrowed and used it."
Sun Ce said calmly.
"Wenhe, the lord's descendants are all trustworthy, and in terms of loyalty to the lord, they are not much better than me and you, and even worse."
Fang Xuanling's words were a pun, on the one hand, he told Jia Xu that Sun Ce's subordinates were very loyal, and on the other hand, he reminded Jia Xu that you are not qualified enough when it comes to loyalty.
Sun Ce has never believed in Jia Xu's loyalty, not to mention Jia Xu's character, just say that Sun Ce himself, Sun Ce has a system, so he knows that his future is infinite, but now he is the same as everyone else, and in terms of scheming in the city, in terms of knowledge, Sun Ce does not feel that he can turn an enemy into a loyal subordinate in a year.
He didn't have the invincible charm of the protagonists in those novels, and he didn't casually impress the charm of countless subordinates, so Sun Ce didn't think that Jia Xu's loyalty could be compared to those retainers.
"Liu Biao is a clan member of the Han family, and when he learns about this incident, he will not let go of this opportunity, whether it is true or not, so Yuan Shao's slight push has caused the current situation."
Fang Xuanling spoke again, and it was Liu Biao, the assassin of Jingzhou, who sent someone to deliver the letter, and his purpose was the jade seal in Sun Ce's hand.
"What do you two think?"
Sun Ce's face was extremely heavy, and with the strength he had now, he naturally couldn't compete with Liu Biao.
"The Yellow Turban Rebellion Jingzhou damage is minimal, coupled with Liu Biaoguang's benevolent government, on the rich Jingzhou is the first of the states in the world, the strength is incomparably strong, and now it is unwise to be the enemy of Jingzhou, and secondly, even if the lord defeats Liu Biao, he may not be able to control Jingzhou, first, Jingzhou several counties are respected by Liu Biao, Liu Biao is in the heart of all parties, Liu Biao is not there will fall apart, each of them, with our strength, if we want to control the entire Jingzhou, it will take time and strength, and if we can't control the entire Jingzhou, it will be endless."
Jia Xu said in a deep voice, at this time he was no longer as calm as he was just now.
"Lord, my subordinates think that this Jingzhou is better not to be an enemy first, rather than wasting strength by competing with Jingzhou, it is better to take the weaker Jiangdong first, strengthen the power and then try to do something else."
Fang Xuanling also thinks that you shouldn't fight to the death with Jingzhou.
"According to Liu's state, I'm afraid this matter is not so simple."
Sun Ce said worriedly, in this world, Liu Biao became the pastor of Jingzhou early, the ruler of Jingzhou.
"The matter of the jade seal is indeed a trouble, Liu Biao is a member of the Han family, and the jade seal is of great use to him, I am afraid that he will not be so easy to deal with."
Fang Xuanling was also a little worried.
"Why don't you throw away this hot potato!"
Jia Xu said leisurely,
"Does Sir want someone to give up this heirloom jade seal?"
Sun Ce frowned, he didn't want to give up the jade seal just like that,
"My subordinates understand what Wen He meant!"
Looking at Jia Xu, Fang Xuanling smiled.
"Please speak up, sir!"
Sun Ce looked at Jia Xu seriously.
"How many people have touched the jade seal of the country with their own hands, we can forge a similar jade seal according to the appearance of the jade seal, and then release this jade seal."
Jia Xu stroked his beard and said with a smile.
"Sir, I mean to let me forge a jade seal and give it to Liu Biao."
Sun Ce said tentatively.
Jia Xu shook his head slowly,
"Wouldn't it tell Liu Biao that the jade seal was indeed taken away by the lord, and at that time, Yuan Shao would use this to target the lord again, and the trouble would be even more serious than today!"
Jia Xu said solemnly.
"Please ask Mr. to teach me a good strategy!"
Sun Ce said solemnly.
"Don't be like this, Jia Xu, let's talk about it in detail!"
Seeing Sun Ce like this, Jia Xu didn't dare to continue pretending to be profound, and hurriedly spoke......
