Xu Shao's throat was filled with a hint of fishy sweetness.

Why don't these fools know how to understand my difficulties? You're trying to kill me.

Xu Shao has always regarded himself as a leader of public opinion, but now he is coerced by public opinion, and he slides step by step to the pit that Sun Ce dug for him and can't help himself, only then did he realize that what his brother said was reasonable, and his self-respect for public opinion was definitely not respected by the sages. The Master said that only the superior wisdom and the lower fool are unswerving, and these fools think that they can pass on the karma of the saints by reading a few words, but they are stupid after all, they do not know right from wrong, and they are born to be used by others.

Xu Shao realized for a while, but he forgot where he lived.

Seeing that Xu Shao didn't say a word, everyone gradually realized that the situation was wrong, quieted down, and countless pairs of eyes turned to Xu Shao.

Sun Ce was a little apprehensive in his heart, and his body that was originally leaning forward leaned back, and his fingers lightly tapped the lacquer case. If Xu Shao changes his hexagram on the spot and decides to carry it to the end, he will inevitably have to shed five steps of blood today. Runan is the base camp of Yuan Shu, but the advantages are all on Yuan Shao's side, since you can't grab people's hearts, then retreat to the second, grab some money and land, settle the yellow scarf on the spot, and fight with Yuan Shao.

It's just that in this way, Runan will basically be abandoned, and you can only retreat to Shouchun and Hefei at that time.

It's a pity for this nice place. With a population of more than 3 million and complete water conservancy facilities, if you can control it in your hands, your strength will be no worse than Nanyang. It's a pity that there is no danger to defend, and it is suitable for cavalry to cross and horizontally, after all, it is a place of a hundred battles.

Let's fight it, it's not our family anyway, it's over if it's broken.

The decision was about to be decided, and the smile on Sun Ce's face gradually retracted, and his eyes became colder.

Xu Shao, who was directly stared at by him, suddenly shook up, woke up from the fugue, saw Sun Ce at a glance, his heart tightened, looked around, and saw countless pairs of eyes looking at him, only then did he realize the predicament in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh.

A sigh caused everyone to look at each other. Xu Shao, as the leader of Runan Shilin and one of the two dragons of Pingyu, has always been impassioned, when has he ever been so low. It seems that he was still forced by Sun Ce's power, otherwise it would never be like this.

Just when countless people sympathized with Xu Shao, Xu Shao raised his head and arched his hand at the outspoken young man. "It's really a misunderstanding, General Sun didn't coerce me. Ladies and gentlemen, you should have all read General Sun's recruitment order, have you ever noticed the three reasons that General Sun said? ”

Everyone talked about it, the recruitment order issued by Sun Ce has been passed through the whole state, of course they have seen it, but he doesn't know what Xu Shao means by suddenly mentioning this, could it be that the dispute between him and Sun Ce has something to do with it?

"Shao's theory with General Sun that day is based on one of the reasons......" Once Xu Shao opened his mouth, he did not hesitate any longer, and told the situation that day as it was. How did he attack Sun Ce for not having the court in his eyes, Sun Ce ridiculed him so much that he was a frog at the bottom of the well, and how he teased him, and finally it involved the study of human ethics, 1510, eloquently, in great detail.

Everyone suddenly dreamed, although some people suspected that Xu Shao was coerced by Sun Ce, but the vast majority of people had already believed it. Because the details are rich and the logic is very clear, there is no need for Xu Shao to make up such a story to humiliate himself.

In all fairness, although Sun Ce was rude, his counterattack was understandable. Xu Shao questioned his orders, and if he didn't fight back, he would not be able to carry out his power. Thinking about it carefully, although his three reasons did not mention the imperial court, there was nothing wrong with it, and Xu Shao was suspected of being provocative about his questioning.

What's wrong with providing opportunities for Runan talents to get ahead in the world? The only bad thing is probably that Sun Ce doesn't pay enough attention to scholars, and only has a recruitment order, but no talent order. However, this is also understandable, Sun Ce was born as a martial artist, and now that a big war is imminent, of course military priority should be given.

The truth was revealed, and the gathered anger dissipated imperceptibly. Since Xu Shao was not wronged, but Sun Ce was wronged, then this gathering was meaningless. Everyone got up one after another and prepared to leave, but because Xu Shao hadn't left yet, they could only endure it for the time being.

Xu Shao wanted to leave earlier than they did. Shame on this, he doesn't want to stay for a moment. He pulled out the seal ribbon around his waist and sent it to the young man's hand, motioning for him to return it to Sun Ce. He doesn't do gong anymore, whoever likes to do it will do it.

The young scholar sent the seal ribbon to Sun Ce. Xu Shao arched his hand, turned around and left.

"Wait!" Sun Celang shouted.

Xu Shao stopped, turned to look at Sun Ce, and said word by word: "General Sun, I have made the facts clear, from now on, no one will wronged the general again." I'm not in good health and can no longer hold the position of Gongcao, so please choose another virtuous person with Qiao Taishou. This, no problem, right? ”

"It's a pity that you resigned from the post of Gongcao, but there are reasons for it, so it's naturally no problem." Sun Ce got up from the table and slowly walked in front of Xu Shao, smiling. Want to go? You're thinking too simply. I have set up such a big stage for you, how can you leave if you don't sing enough. "Thank you Xu Jun for clarifying the facts and clearing my name, please allow me to express my admiration for Xu Jun's high demeanor."

After Sun Ce finished speaking, he bowed and bowed, very modest.

Xu Shao was stunned. He was accustomed to Sun Ce's arrogance and rudeness, and he was very uncomfortable with Sun Ce's politeness. Everyone saw it, but they were very satisfied. Although Sun Ce is a martial artist, he is still reasonable, he was wronged, and he didn't trouble Xu Shao, but just asked him to explain the situation. Now that I have made it clear, I would like to express my gratitude to Xu Shao. It's not easy, although he is in a high position at a young age, but he is very polite and open-minded, and he can't be regarded purely as a martial artist.

Guo Jiayin was behind the pillar, watching Sun Ce's performance, and nodded again and again. "Just being rash is a cut above these vulgar people."

Du Xi looked at him and sneered: "Fengxiao, it's not too late for you to boast later." ”

"Praise what should be praised, why wait." Guo Jia shook his head again. "It's a pity that even if he is a corporal again, he still owes a little heat compared to Yuan Shao, and these Runan scholars will not support him."

Du Xian's eyebrows frowned slightly, and he was not in the mood to reason with Guo Jia. Although Xu Shao was forced to explain the truth of the matter in front of everyone, he did not bow to Sun Ce because of this, and resigned on the spot to show his non-cooperation, and Sun Ce still couldn't get the support of Runan Shilin. Compared to Yuan Shao, his reputation among Shilin was too weak and too bad. Nanyang people were caught by him because of their betrayal of Yuan Shu, and they were short of breath, but the Runan people didn't have such a handle in his hands, and he really didn't have any chance to use it except for using it.

Du Xun pulled Guo Jia and motioned for him to appear. Guo Jia understood, walked out side by side with Du Xian, and came to Sun Ce.

Hearing the footsteps, Sun Ce turned his head and saw that it was Du Raid, and was immediately overjoyed, just about to speak, Du Raid gave him a look, and said loudly: "Dingling Du Raid, I heard that the general is recruiting talents, and I came to see him." ”

On that side, Guo Jia also said loudly: "Yang Zhai Guo Jia, I have seen General Sun." ”
