Reached a tacit agreement on Guo Yi's matter, handed over this task to Xu You and Wang Gai, the purpose of the Son of Heaven's trip has been achieved, and he exchanged some views on current government affairs with Wang Yun, and then got up to leave.

After sending the Son of Heaven away, Wang Yun was already too tired to do anything, so he reluctantly returned to the hall, leaning on the table, and broke out in a cold sweat.

Xu You didn't leave, he looked at Wang Yun coldly, and waited for Wang Yun to catch his breath before he asked Wang Yun's intentions. He was very dissatisfied with Wang Yun's initiative to relieve the Son of Heaven. Wang Gai and Yuan Shao have no righteousness as kings and ministers, and letting him deal with this matter with Wang Gai is tantamount to putting the responsibility on him again, and he has no ability to influence the Son of Heaven, so he is not sure to save Guo Yi's life.

"Prince, forgive you for being ignorant, it is difficult to understand the prince's deep meaning, and please ask the prince for advice."

Wang Yun squinted at Xu Yu and suddenly wanted to laugh. Yuan Shao is arrogant, and these strategists under him are also arrogant, do you really think that Yuan Shao is invincible in the world? If he is really invincible in the world, why should Yuan Shao bow his head to the court and admit the bloodline of the Son of Heaven.

"Do you know why Sun Ce sent Guo Yi and the others to Chang'an instead of killing them on the spot?"

"He didn't dare. It is easy to kill Guo Yi, but to kill He Chun and others, I am afraid that the Huiji family will attack it in groups, and chaos will occur everywhere. ”

That's right, this is the difference between Sun Ce and Sun Jian. Sun Ce knew what was important and who his real enemy was. The death or immortality of Guo Yi and He Chun did not have much impact on him, this was just a difficult problem he gave to the imperial court. The evidence of Guo's conspiracy is insufficient, but he has other evidence, once it is taken out, not only will the imperial court not be able to face it, but I am afraid it will be difficult to justify himself in the first place. ”

Xu You was puzzled.

Wang Yun said faintly: "Didn't you give orders to Zhou Xin, Guo Yi and others at the beginning? Was his order given in the name of an edict? In whose hands are these orders now? ”

Xu You suddenly realized, and then slapped his head with remorse. How could he not know that the person who contacted Guo Yi was himself, and the four words "an edict" were written on the green sac, without concealment, lest others not see it. This edict is now in the Huiji Taishou Mansion, in Sun Ce's hands. Not only Huiji, but also Wujun, Danyang and Jiujiang, and some of them were after Yuan Shao declared himself a vassal to the Chang'an court.

If Sun Ce is dismissed only on the grounds of insufficient evidence, then when Sun Ce comes up with this evidence, how should the imperial court face it? The imperial court couldn't kill Yuan Shao, his majesty was swept away, and Yuan Shao's reputation was stinky. So it doesn't matter if Guo Yi dies or not, appeasing Sun Ce and letting him stop making trouble is the key. He only cared about saving Guo Yi, but he almost burned the fire to Yuan Shao himself, and his knowledge was really limited.

Seeing Xu You's face showing shame, Wang Yun then reminded him that in just over two years, Sun Ce had controlled the entire Yuzhou, half of Jingzhou, and most of Yangzhou. If left unchecked, the southeast will soon become the territory of the Sun family. Xun Yu sent Cao Cao into Yizhou, why? Isn't it to contain Sun Ce and cooperate with Yuan Shao? The imperial court was not Yuan Shao's enemy, at least not yet. Yuan Shao's enemy is Sun Ce, don't miss a big thing because of a little detail. A conflict between Yuan Shao and the imperial court would only benefit Sun Ce.

Xu You's face is red, and he only promises.

——

In June of the fourth year of the first peace, he was an officer of Dongye Ship.

Sun Ce stood on the high platform, looking down at the neatly lined new ships in the dock, feeling happy and a little helpless.

was able to successfully win the waiting officer, and He Qi contributed a lot. The reason why Chief Waiting, Shang Sheng, surrendered, was not because of him, but because he had admired Qi Weiming for a long time, and he didn't even have a trace of fighting will, so he directly sent someone to ask for surrender. This is the influence of the Maison. He Qi can have such a prestige, first, he does have a talent for soldiers, and second, the He family is really rich and can afford to raise people, otherwise he can raise a few soldiers with his extravagant and exaggerated atmosphere.

Dongye is the Fuzhou City of later generations. In later generations, this was a metropolis, and now it is still a wild place, and Dongye, as a county governor, is pitifully small. The officer was slightly better, but also limited.

Accompanied by Shang Sheng, Sun Ce inspected the ship's officers and changed his mind. He asked Huang Yueying and Feng Wan to pack up the officer's documents and take them away, and go back to Gusu City with him, build a wood school in Taihu Lake, or Qian Tang, anyway, it can't be in Dongye, it's too chaotic here, in case a gang of thieves harms the two daughters-in-law, there is no place to cry.

If you want to develop the South, you can't do it without enough people. There is no pressure, there is no motivation, judging from the current situation, there is still a lot of development potential in Wujun and Huiji coastal areas, and there is no need to forcibly develop such a remote place as Dongye for the time being, or wait for the future to sit in the world. Accelerating development requires a lot of investment, and he simply doesn't have that much capital right now.

Yu Chuan was very satisfied with Sun Ce's pragmatism. He believes that Sun Ce should not be distracted at this time, and should focus on the Central Plains.

Following Sun Ce for a few months, Yu Tuo and Sun Ce often had arguments. The spear technique is not as good as Sun Ce, he admits it. Yi Xue can't suppress Sun Ce, he is 10,000 unconvinced, and he always wants to win back a city. But the two couldn't say that they could go together, what he said was easy to learn, but Sun Ce didn't understand. Sun Ce's easy learning is not systematic, and he can't recognize it either.

As the saying goes, it is not clear that the reason is not clear, although the two basically can't talk about going together, they often quarrel while talking, but they are often inspired and deepen their understanding of each other.

Looking at these new ships, Sun Ce's heart suddenly moved. "Zhong Xiang, let's go to sea."

Yu Fu frowned, thinking that Sun Ce had a whim and wanted to learn from Qin Shi Huang to go to sea to seek immortals. "General, there are no immortals in the world, those are just tricks to deceive people. The sea is windy and rough, and the ship is prone to capsizing, which is too dangerous. ”

"It's not to visit the immortals, it's to ask." Sun Ce stomped his feet lightly and said with a smile: "I have a way to falsify the theory that the sky is round and the earth is round. ”

Yu Fu looked at Sun Ce suspiciously. When he and Sun Ce discussed Yi, he accused Sun Ce of drawing the Taiji diagram, but Sun Ce said that the circle is the most perfect shape, and the sun and the moon, including the earth under his feet, are round. Yu Chuan expressed disdain for this, the sun and the moon are round, which is obvious to all, how can the earth be round. He had always felt that Sun Ce was an inference, but now he heard Sun Ce say that there was a way to confirm it, so he was quite interested.

However, he was a little uneasy. He and Sun Ce have been arguing for so long, and they have not won or lost, and one of the points is that Sun Ce said that the earth on his feet is round. If Sun Ce really has a way to prove his argument, it is likely that what Sun Ce said about Yi, although simple, is closer to the truth.

"Scared?" Sun Ce looked at Yu for a moment and couldn't help but want to laugh. "Zhong Xiang, in fact, you already knew that I was right, but I just refused to admit it, right?"

Yu turned silently.

"Zhong Xiang, the Tao is the foundation, the academic is the end, and the purpose of scholarship is to expound the Tao, or to understand its body, or to use it. You cling to academics, but ignore the real way, and even hide your ears and steal bells, deceiving yourself, this is not the attitude of learning. ”

Yu flipped his sword eyebrows and trembled slightly. He took a deep breath and slowly exhaled it, as if he had made a big decision.

"Go to sea, go to sea."
