If it weren't for enduring, and having to take care of Yan Xiang's face, Sun Ce almost laughed out loud.

Du Yi's mouth is very bad, not only does he speak loudly, but he also stings. The fellow saw the fellow, Wang Wang to Wang Wang, and actually stood up. Yan Xiang is a good-tempered person, and he was also greatly discouraged by him.

"Du Bohou, you say so, how will I get along with Yan Fujun in the future?" Sun Ce made a round. "Come on, come on, I'm sorry to invite you here in the middle of the night, I'll invite you to supper. Talk while eating. ”

Yan Xiang was also embarrassed, glared at Du Ji fiercely, and couldn't help laughing again. "Shaft, if you don't change your stinky mouth, don't even think about wearing a green ribbon until you die. Later, if you can't make sense, see how I clean you up. ”

Du Ji laughed and sat down calmly. After a while, the supper was delivered, and there was nothing to do, a bowl of soup cakes per person. There is no meat, but the soup and water are hot, which is very refreshing. Du Ji was probably so hungry that he sniffed and swallowed his saliva involuntarily. He rubbed his hands together, but he didn't hold his chopsticks.

"General, is there more?"

"Can you not be so embarrassed?" Yan Xiang put down the bowl he had just picked up. "Oh, take mine, I'm not hungry."

Du Ji was also not polite, stretched out his hand to bring Yan Xiang's bowl, and asked again, "General, is there anything else?" ”

Sun Ce was a little unhappy. This is too presumptuous, isn't it? He put down the bowl. "Why don't I give you this bowl too?"

"Then you don't need to." Du Ji rubbed his hands, put two bowls of soup cakes on a table, and left. "Please wait, general, I'll send the soup cake back first, so that it won't get cold. The general sits widely, and I will come back in half an hour at most to offer advice to the general, and it is not enough to worry about tens of thousands of Xiliang soldiers. ”

Sun Ce raised his eyebrows. "Wait, how do you know it's Xiliang Bing?"

Du Yi said with a smile: "Two days ago, Yan Fujun sent people to order all counties, saying that the Xiliang soldiers were coming, and I heard it. Today, the general summoned him in the middle of the night, and I can't think of anything else except the arrival of Xiliang's troops. ”

Sun Ce nodded. This is a smart person, and talking to a smart person is to save trouble. He stood up and grabbed Du Qi's arm. "Do you have two more people at home? How many days have you been out of food? ”

"And my stepmother and my mother-in-law, I ate a meal yesterday morning, and I've been hungry until now."

Sun Ce looked back at Yan Xiang. "Yan Fujun, send someone to inspect the whole city early tomorrow morning to see how many people are living in the city. They have left their homes and have no savings, and this winter is afraid that it will be difficult. ”

Yan Xiang put away his smile and said, "This is my dereliction of duty, I will arrange it immediately." He arched his hand at Du Qi again. It seems that there is a sense of the protection of the party in the hometown, which causes the Bohou family to be hungry and cold, ashamed, ashamed. Please tell me where you live, and I'll send someone to ask for it now. ”

"There is labor." Du Ji sighed. "It's in the shack outside the east gate of the inner city, and Yan Jun will find out when he asks there."

Yan Xiang answered and hurried away. Du Ji turned around, put down the food table, lowered his head, and a few tears slid down his face and dripped into the soup bowl. Sun Ce was sad. He could guess Du Ji's mood at the moment. As he had guessed before, Du Yi didn't meet Zhou Yu by chance, nor did he want to be an official, he really had no choice. If he really wants to be an official, he has already come to the door to recommend himself, so why wait until now. After the famous family, and the year of establishment, the career is just a waste, and now even the food and clothing of his family can not be solved, which is a great harm to his confidence.

Du Ji watched the soup cake slowly get cold, and he didn't eat it until Yan Xiang came back and said that he had sent someone to take his stepmother and wife to the Taishou Mansion to settle down, so he picked up the soup cake and ate it in a big gulp. He ate and walked, with great momentum, gobbling up and wind, and in a moment he ate two bowls of soup and cakes. He wiped his mouth, stood up, and arched his hands.

"General, please instruct, Du Yi will go to the soup and fight the fire, and he will not give up."

Sun Ce motioned to Zhou Yu and handed the two military reports to Du Ji, who took them in his hand, quickly skimmed through them, thought for a while, and returned the general report to Zhou Yu. "Niu Fu is not worried, he is not General Ling Zunsun's opponent, as long as he holds Luyang, he can't enter Nanyang. Xu Rong is not worried, but the Xiliang soldiers led by Xu Rong are a trouble. ”

Sun Ce was very curious and motioned to Du Ji to explain in detail.

Du Yi said: "Niu Fu is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, and he was stationed in Hedong to prevent the generals of the Kwantung region from going west, and all of them were elites. Zhu Jun is famous all over the world, but his ambition is great and talented, and the Kwantung soldiers he leads are not the opponents of the Western Liang soldiers, so it is expected that he will be frustrated. General Ling Zunsun is his former official, and when he receives the news, he will definitely rush to meet him. Niu Fu is not Ling Zun's opponent and will soon return to Luoyang. As for Luyang, the general doesn't have to worry, Luyang is a fortress, but the Xiliang soldiers are not good at attacking the city, as long as the defenders do not take the enemy out of the city, they will be fine. ”

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu exchanged a look, feeling that what Du Ji said had a certain truth, and Lu Yang was actually not as dangerous as he imagined.

"Then why do you say that Xu Rong is not worried, but the Xiliang soldiers led by Xu Rong are a trouble?"

"Xu Rong is the most warlike general in the Xiliang Army, but he is not from Xiliang, his status in the Xiliang Army is embarrassing, and there are not many generals who are willing to be controlled by him. Nanyang is rich, the Xiliang soldiers are invincible, the military discipline is bound to be loose, and the people of Nanyang are bound to suffer, and the light cavalry may even reach Wancheng, and the general must prepare early. ”

Sun Ce's eyes shrank. Du Yi's words reminded him that Xu Rong is good at fighting, but he may not be able to control the Xiliang soldiers, once these tens of thousands of people enter Nanyang, they will become a group of wild wolves plundering everywhere, which is both a good thing and a bad thing, the good thing is that it gives him various opportunities to break through, and the bad thing is that he can't predict their actions at all, and there are not enough cavalry, so he can't catch up if he wants to.

"So what to do?"

"Attack Niu Fu, force Xu Rong to attack Wancheng, and fortify the city. Wancheng is a famous city in the world, known for its wealth, and is the best bait. Xiliang soldiers are greedy and will definitely come. Wancheng is strong enough to withstand the attack of the Western Liang soldiers, and the other counties will only fall prey to the Western Liang soldiers. Once there are enough military resources, it will be more difficult for the Xiliang soldiers to deal with. ”

"It's a good idea." Zhou Yu nodded in agreement first. "To cause people but not to people, is very good at using soldiers. Yan Fujun, Zhang Gong, Kanto is the prime minister, Kanto is the general, sure enough. ”

Yan Xiang was a little embarrassed. Just now he also said that Du Yi was young and crazy, and he had no ability, and he was slapped in the face in a blink of an eye. However, the township party is talented, and he also feels that there is light on his face. In the face of Zhou Yu's praise, he just laughed, but he couldn't say anything. Zhang Xun didn't say anything, just stroked his beard and nodded.

Sun Ce thought so, but he still wanted to replace Shu Shao. He didn't have much confidence in Yuan Shu's old department. Yan Xiang and Zhang Xun are the most trusted ministers of Yuan Shu, at this level, the others are either celebrities like Chen Yu or mediocre generals like Qiao Rui, none of them can do big things, Shu Shao is estimated to be no better, his reputation under Yuan Shu's account is not as good as Qiao Rui and Zhang Xun.

"Gong Jin, you guard Wancheng, I'll go to Yingchuan and kill Niu Fu first."

Du Ji said: "No, General Sun will defend the city and face Xu Rong, and General Zhou will go to Yingchuan." ”

Sun Ce was puzzled. "Why?"

"When the general sees Ling Zun at this moment, is he the main one, or is it you?"

Sun Ce was speechless.
