"Liu Ba went to Chang'an after all." Sun Ce was a little regretful, shook the letter in his hand, and sighed.

The letter was written by Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu also failed to keep Liu Ba, and Liu Ba eventually went to Chang'an. Liu Ba is just a member of the westward army, and these days there are constantly people passing through Nanyang and going west to Chang'an, and some people even come from Yanzhou. The reason is very simple, Wuguan Road is peaceful, Nanyang has sufficient materials, and the post house can provide food and lodging, unlike Hangu Road from Luoyang to Chang'an, the post house is dilapidated, and there are bandits, and the basic safety is not guaranteed.

Sun Ce didn't know whether to be complacent or depressed, anyway, he had a feeling of making wedding dresses for others.

"Of course, Chang'an is where the imperial court is located." Yang Xiu was very proud, and stretched out his head to take a look. "Zhou Gongjin's writing is good, much stronger than the general, no wonder he doesn't need someone to write for him."

Sun Ce's eyes rolled. "What's the matter, I was abused by Uncle Cai, come to me to make up for it? Believe it or not, I'm pumping you. ”

Yang Xiu laughed and didn't mind. He knew that Sun Ce looked fierce, but he wouldn't be rude because of this. He sat down across from Sun Ce. "It's time to go, it's been more than half a month in Xiangyang, you don't want to spend the New Year in Xiangyang, right?"

"Isn't it good to celebrate the New Year in Xiangyang, there is food and drink, and you can also go to chat with Cai Bojiao. When you leave Xiangyang, you can only chat with me. ”

"Although chatting with Cai Bojiao is interesting, I can only listen to him. I want to go to the Huiji to collect ancient monuments and start a sect. ”

Sun Ce glanced at him and smiled without saying a word. Yang Xiu was half-truthful, thinking that he could deceive him, but underestimated his eyesight. Young man, he is arrogant, seeing Cai Yong's history, he will definitely be able to leave a name in history in the future, he is also tempted, and he doesn't want to think about Cai Yong's age and what age he is. However, he is not ready to leave yet, and Cai Mao is contacting the families in the hope of raising more funds. He also has to wait for news from Lujiang. Calculated by day, Qin Song and Gan Ning have already arrived in Shucheng. Once Sun Jian changed his tactics and no longer drilled into the horns, the battle in Lujiang could quickly divide the winner and loser.

When the battle in Lujiang is clear, he can go to Huiji with peace of mind, and he needs Gan Ning to walk with him. Gan Ning is the general of the sailor in his photo, without this brocade thief, the sailor is like a weapon without a sharp arrow, and there are always shortcomings.

Zhou Yu's letter also said that Guan Yu had returned to Wancheng, and he had successfully completed the task to help Wu Jing capture Jiujiang County, and now he was waiting for Huang Chengyan to build a blade for him. Zhou Yu also said that when Guan Yu came back this time, he felt that his personality had changed a lot, and he was much more humble than before.

Thinking that Guan Yu would eventually leave, Sun Ce's mood was even worse. It was easy to train Guan Yu out, and in the end, it was all cheap Liu Bei.

My little overlord won't be the same as the real overlord, specializing in giving talents to opponents, right? But looking at Yang Xiu in front of him, thinking of the even worse Cao Cao, he was in a much better mood immediately. Thinking about Yuan Mengzhu in Hebei again, he is in a better mood. Liu Bei really wants to go back to Youzhou to help Liu Yu or Gongsun Zhan, and Yuan Shao's life will be even more sad.

Speaking of which, I really look forward to what Xun Yu will do next. Nanyang "succumbed", he should aim at Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao is so arrogant, he was beaten this time, and he didn't know if he would bow his head and give in. In history, he bowed his head and competed with Cao Cao for a general. To put it bluntly, this person is going to die with a poor face and suffer crimes, and he has been spit on all his face, but he has to pay attention to whether he is spitting on top or below.

Sun Ce laughed while thinking, and Yang Xiu's hairs stood on end. He coughed: "General, there is something I think I should tell you." ”

Sun Ce glanced at him and knew that he definitely didn't have anything good to say. "Say it."

"There are a few people in the academy who have quit their jobs and are going to Chang'an." Yang Xiu looked at Sun Ce with a grin, waiting to appreciate Sun Ce's depressed expression. Sun Ce looked at him calmly and didn't say a word, until Yang Xiu moved his body uneasily, avoiding his eyes, and then he said lightly: "Gone?" ”

"Uh...... No, I just knew, and I thought the general might want to know, so ...... Just say it. ”

"I'm leaving, and I'm saving money." Sun Ce paused for a while, and then said: "It's a pity, Chang'an can't afford to raise too many people, otherwise, like Luoyang, it will definitely be very lively to have 30,000 students." If you have nothing to do, you will praise each other, I say that you are a reincarnation saint, and you say that I am reborn Yan Yuan, how funny. Yang Dezu, you said that if you were born a few years earlier, maybe you would also be a popular figure. It's a pity that Luoyang has been burned to ruins, Taixue is a pile of rubble, and none of the people who blew into the sky back then were really useful. ”

Yang Xiu's face was red and white for a while, he was so angry that he had nothing to say, and there was still some faint uneasiness in his heart. Of course, it is a good thing for talents to gather in Chang'an, but everything is too much, those people go to Chang'an to be officials, and if there is no official to do, they will inevitably have complaints. The reason why Luoyang will be rampant is because the career of the Tai students is hopeless, and they have opinions on the imperial court, and they will make trouble when there is something to do, so they will petition in front of the palace.

Will the imperial court in Chang'an repeat the mistakes of the past?

Seeing that Yang Xiu was uneasy and his eyes wandered, Sun Ce laughed out loud.

——

Guan Yu held the new knife in one hand and stroked his beard with the other, and his silkworm eyebrows jumped slightly, unable to suppress the joy on his face.

This is his exclusive weapon, the form is similar to that of Qianjun Po, but the blade is curved from straight, weakening the function of the thorn, strengthening the chopping, and the blade is slightly curved, like a crescent moon, bright and clean, and cold. The blade is twice as wide as the general ring-headed knife, and there is a fork in the middle, which divides the entire back of the knife into two parts, and a dragon is cast on both sides of the blade.

"Good knives." Zhang Fei came over and was full of praise. "Such a good knife, can it have a name?"

"Absolutely." Guan Yu flipped his hand and showed the four seal characters on the knife. Zhang Fei stared at it for a long time and didn't know him. Guan Yu pouted proudly. "This is an ancient character, I asked Handan Chun to write it himself, one word and one gold, and four words cost me four ingots of gold."

Zhang Fei swallowed. "So expensive? What exactly is the word? ”

"Green Dragon Glaive." Guan Yu laughed, and with a twist of his wrist, the Qinglong Glaive Knife flipped in his hand, and the snowflakes were clustered. The center of gravity of this knife is so well adjusted that it is not difficult to swing it with one hand. Zhang Fei took a step back, avoiding the edge. Guan Yu was even happier when he saw it. "Yide, do you want to use your snake spear to try my Qinglong Glaive."

Zhang Fei shook his head and said with a smile: "Brother Yun, I think you did it on purpose, mine is a snake spear, you just use the dragon knife, you have to press me, right?" Although I don't want to discourage your interest, I still want to remind you that your knife is too heavy, and I am afraid that it is not suitable to fight for a long time. If you meet an opponent of equal strength, you will be dragged down by this knife. ”

"Equal?" Guan Yu sneered: "With this knife in hand, who can match me?" Even if Dian Wei came, I also slashed him with a knife. ”

"Yun Chang, don't talk nonsense." Liu Bei walked out, carrying a long wooden box in his hand. Guan Yu was very curious and raised his eyebrows. "Xuande, what kind of weapon are you?"

"Master Huang customized the Qingyun Chixia Sword for me, which is used as a sword in peacetime, and can be formed into a double-headed spear in wartime." Liu Bei said, holding the wooden box with one hand, and opening the lid of the box with the other, revealing a pair of long swords and an iron rod about the length of the sword inside, similar to the assembled thousand army breaking system used by Sun Ce's personal guard battalion before. The sword is six feet long, the blade is four feet long, eight edges on all sides, the style is simple, there are some faint cloud patterns, one green and one red, look at it for a little longer, there is a feeling of steaming clouds.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei said in unison: "Xuande, good sword!" ”
