Chapter 144: Crisis
"Lord, recruiting wise men is one thing, but the last time we saw Sun Ce, we could obviously feel that Sun Ce's soldiers and horses were much more elite than ordinary soldiers and horses, even if they were his ordinary soldiers, they might be similar to the combat effectiveness of our elite soldiers, and the five thousand elite soldiers he brought with him were the elite of the elite, as powerful as the Xiliang Iron Cavalry could be killed by Sun Ce's elite army like chopping melons and vegetables!" Cheng Yu on the side spoke.
"Yes, what you said is right, Sun Cejun's soldiers are indeed much more elite than ordinary soldiers." Cao Cao nodded, first affirming Cheng Yu's statement, but he didn't understand, what Cheng Yu wanted to express?
"So, my lord, while we are recruiting soldiers, we must also hurry up training soldiers!" Cheng Yu said.
"Don't I know this? But how Sun Ce trained his soldiers, we don't know this, even if we want to reach Sun Ce's height, I'm afraid we won't be able to reach it! Cao Cao shook his head.
After listening to Cao Cao's words, Cheng Yu and Chen Gong were silent, yes, Sun Ce's training method must be very unique, just according to the previous method to train, I'm afraid it will be difficult to catch up with Sun Ce's soldiers, and it is very likely that Sun Ce's soldiers will never be able to catch up!
"Lord, why don't we go and steal the teacher!" Chen Gong said.
"It's easy to say, but how are we going to steal the teacher?" Cao Cao thought about it and shook his head decisively.
Not to mention the distance, the most important thing is that if you really steal the teacher, will you definitely be able to steal it? Sun Ce is not a fool, wouldn't he be on guard?
"Forget it, this matter still needs to be considered in the long run!" Cao Cao continued, "Our top priority now is to recruit the number of soldiers first, only with enough soldiers, can we truly become the masters of Yanzhou!" ”
Cao Cao's words are right, only with strength can we truly control the situation in Yanzhou! What's more, the rest of the princes are also coveting the territory of Yanzhou, and if Cao Cao doesn't hurry up, he will be preempted by others.
A burst of busyness swept most of the northern regions, the north is not only a small local problem, but more importantly, there are many princes, except for Sun Ce, the eighteen princes of the alliance are all from the north of the Yangtze River, which means that the competition north of the Yangtze River must be very fierce.
However, Sun Ce didn't care about these at all, and directly threw everything to Guo Jia and others, and he studied some small objects, like keel waterwheels and so on.
On the day of "Brother Bo Fu'......", Liu Ling found Sun Ce.
"Is there something wrong with Ling'er?" Sun Ce asked with a smile.
"I want to ask, Brother Xie, what are you going to arrange?" Liu Ling couldn't help but ask this question. Since Liu Xie was sent by Sun Ce to Jiangdong, he has been living in Sun Ce's house, and Sun Ce did not clearly explain how to arrange Liu Xie, but just asked Liu Xie to study with Zhou Yu, and other than that, there was no arrangement.
However, this is such a life, Liu Xie is very happy, Liu Inspiration feels that Liu Xie is much happier now than when he was in the palace before!
"It's not the time for him to show up, and when it's time for him to show up, I still need him to be the emperor!" Sun Ce said.
"But ......," Liu Ling wanted to say and stopped.
"But what? Just say it, is there anything you can't say between me? Sun Ce smiled slightly.
"But I can feel that my brother doesn't seem to like being an emperor." Liu Lingdao, "The current assistant brother is the happiest I have ever seen, even if he was a younger brother, he is not happy now." ”
"Yes, nothing is light, now Liu Xie has nothing to do, no baggage, naturally it is very easy, but you must know that Liu Xie has the mission he wants to complete after all, and this cannot be escaped!" Sun Ce said, "What's more, he will just be a showman in the future, the real emperor, you may also know that Liu Xie is not this material." ”
Liu Ling nodded, she couldn't be clearer about what kind of virtue her younger brother was.
"Don't worry about this matter first, there is still a year or two to go, during which you can talk to Liu Xie and see what his opinion is." Sun Ce said, "Although this matter is decided by me, I also have to consult him." ”
"I see!" Liu Ling nodded, but in his heart he was grateful to Sun Ce for being thoughtful.
"Young Master! Master! At this moment, a subordinate suddenly came to him.
"What's wrong?" Sun Ce was slightly puzzled.
"It's Mr. Fengxiao who came to find the young master, and he was looking for it in a hurry, as if something urgent had happened." The servant replied.
Sun Ce nodded, although he was puzzled and didn't know what was going on, he still said something to Liu Ling, and followed the next person to the living room.
"Lord, it's not good!" After seeing Sun Ce just now, Guo Jia came up and said.
"What's wrong? I'm fine! Sun Ce glanced at Guo Jia, is there really something?
"Lord, now is not the time to joke, Shanyue is coming!" Guo Jia said urgently.
Hearing this, Sun Ce was slightly stunned, and then frowned: "Quickly go and notify the generals to come to discuss the matter!" "Shanyue is a big trouble, not only because of its large numbers, but also because all of its soldiers are strong in combat, and what is even more terrifying is that they often unite with local "clans" (a kind of local armed groups organized on the basis of clans and villages) to oppose the government!
Among the Shanyue generals, there are also many famous ones, such as Zu Lang, Yan Baihu, Pan Lin, You Tu, Peng Qi, etc., they all have good combat effectiveness! Every time he thought of dealing with Shanyue, Sun Ce couldn't help but have a headache, and now it seems that Shanyue seems to have taken the initiative to provoke him!
Perhaps, there is something inexplicable in this!
"I've already informed everyone that I'm coming, so I'm sure I'm going to be there soon, right?" Guo Jia nodded.
"Lord!" At this moment, Wang Yue walked in from outside.
"What's wrong, Master Wang?" Sun Ce was puzzled, under normal circumstances, Wang Yue would not come to deliver the information, it was Guo Jia who conveyed it on his behalf, why did Wang Yue come by himself this time?
"Jingzhou Liu Biao is coming to commit Qi Chun!" Wang Yue's words are not many, they are very concise.
"What?!" Sun Ce and Guo Jia were very surprised when they heard this, how could a person like Liu Biao, who didn't know how to make progress and only cared about defending the city, come to oppose Sun Ce?
