Seeing that his uncle, cousin, and friends had all returned to Jiangdong, Sun Ce did not hesitate at all, and publicly reprimanded Yuan Shu, and then cut off all relations with Yuan Shu and sent Liu Youwei to pay tribute to Xu Du. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Cao Cao, who was furious at Yuan Shu's public proclamation as emperor in Xudu, was overjoyed to receive Sun Ce's table and tribute. In this way, Yuan Shu has really become a loner, although he still sits on the two counties of Jiujiang and Luzhou, it is difficult to make any waves.

Cao Cao attached great importance to Sun Ce's above form, and most of the things he presented promised. In order to prevent Sun Ce's ambitions, Cao Cao left a heart, and in the name of the court, he appointed Chen Yu, the Taishou of the East China Sea, to be transferred to Danyang Taishou, and accepted Liu Xuan's recommendation to appoint Huaxin as the Taishou of Yuzhang, and did not agree with Sun Ce's suggestion of sub-counties of Yuzhang County.

Of course, it is An Wei Sun Ce, and Cao Cao's cousin Sun Ce is a cavalry lieutenant and a fake Ming and Han general. Sun Ce received the edict sent by Yilang Wangpu, although he was not very satisfied, but the general requirements were met, especially the edict of the Son of Heaven to appoint him as a fake Ming and Han general, although it was a temporary form, but it was much better than the name of General Zhenkou obtained from Yuan Shu, at least now he can be called a general justifiably. Yuzhang didn't get it now, it didn't matter, Danyang himself wouldn't let it out.

In order to prevent Chen Yu from coming to Danyang, Sun Ce arranged heavy troops at the junction of Danyang and Donghai and Guangling, as long as Chen Yu could not come, it was just a name. Danyang County is still in charge of his own uncle, and as for wanting to suppress Yuan Shu by himself, Sun Ce only promised verbally, and did not take action at all. Cao Cao was also helpless, so he had to scold in his heart: "Sun Ce is a child! ”

However, there is one person who does not think so. Yuan Shu heard that Sun Ce had expelled the Danyang Taishou he had appointed, and saw that Sun Ce was openly opposed to him, so he thought he was extremely angry. was about to send troops to conquest, but the strategist Liu Hong persuaded him: "Now in this eventful autumn, once the expedition to Sun Ce is made, Cao Cao will conquer from behind, and the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

Yuan Shuren couldn't help it, but he couldn't help but breathe this breath. Therefore, Yuan Shu carved dozens of seals of feudal officials and secretly sent them to Xuancheng, Jingxian, Lingyang and other six counties in Danyang County, Shanyue and important places occupied by sect thieves, as well as Shanyin and other counties in Huiji County, instigating these Yellow Turban marshals and clan thief leaders to seize the county seat and appoint them as county commanders and county magistrates.

With the support of Yuan Shu, these people turned against each other, and the entire Jiangdong became a mess.

Xu Gong, who was hiding in the camp of his subordinate Xu Zhao, saw that the opportunity had come, and secretly wrote to Cao Cao: "Sun Ce is brave and good at fighting, with lofty ambitions, similar to Xiang Qi. Cao Gong should be more gracious to him, promise to be a high-ranking official, recall Xu Du, and stay by your side, so that people can rest assured. If you stay outside and let him sit big, he will definitely become a hero, and it will become a big trouble for you. Now that he is recalled, Sun Ce's power is not great, and he will have to return. Please consider it. ”

Although Xu Gong was secretive, Wu Jun was too protective of Zhu Zhi, and he had already sent people to keep an eye on Xu Gong's every move. Xu Gong's messenger was captured by Zhu Zhi's men shortly after leaving the camp. The letter was found from the messenger's body, and Zhu Zhi was shocked and hurriedly sent someone to inform Sun Ce. After Sun Ce received the letter, he rushed to Wu County to discuss with Zhu Zhi, Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong and others.

Zhang Hong sneered and said: "This Xu Gong is too naïve, it is too ridiculous to be able to transfer the envoy from Jiangdong with just one letter." Now that Yuan Shu is in Jianghuai, I don't say whether Cao Gong can come over, but if he can come, I don't think this Cao Gong has the guts. Yuan Benchu is like a sharp sword hanging over Cao Gong's head from time to time, and Chang'an Liu Shi is not a vegetarian.

What if he received an edict from Duke Cao? With the current situation, Jun only needs to quickly pacify Jiangdong, deliberately operate, and stand by to act. Once there is a change in the world, take advantage of the momentum, and when the Son of Heaven can take charge of the government, it will be the forerunner of the Son of Heaven. When the Son of Heaven could not take charge of the government, he raised a large army to clear the monarch's side, achieved the merits of Zhou and Yi, and left a name in history. ”

Zhang Zhao said suspiciously: "If this letter is really sent to Xudu, Cao Gong will summon the envoy to the court as an official in the name of this, and once the monarch refuses, he will be forced to stay in Jiangdong, so that the monarch will definitely give people the name of a courtier, which is not very good for the reputation of the envoy!" And what to do with Xu Gong now? ”

Sun Ce said angrily: "What else can be done? I don't know what to do with this Xu Gong, I let him go, not only do I not know how to be grateful, but I also conspire against me. How can this breath be swallowed, of course, cut the grass and eradicate the roots, in order to prevent future troubles, but also warn other people, do not act rashly, not to mention that the situation is chaotic now, if you let it go gently, I am afraid that no one will be afraid of me anymore. ”

Zhu Zhi said: "This matter still needs to be considered in the long run, and Zhang Gong's words also have some truth. Now Cao Situ coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, but we can't be accused of being a rebel at will. Fortunately, the letter has been intercepted and there is no major incident. This Xu Gong is famous, and he will be executed at will, which will cause criticism and impeachment of the court ministers. ”

Sun Ce said angrily: "Keeping these people is a scourge after all, just wait for me to confront him in person and see if he has something to say." ”

Xu Gong, who was hiding in Xu Zhao's camp, had been anxious for the past few days since he sent the letter, both excited and afraid. What is exciting is that once Cao Cao accepts his opinion, this Wu County is too guarded, and it is none other than himself. What he was afraid of was that if Sun Ce knew about this letter, he didn't dare to think about the consequences. With Sun Ce's character, he Xu Gong definitely has no good fruit to eat.

Thinking about it again, as long as Cao Cao supports him, where are he afraid of Sun Ce? However, it always felt like something was going to happen. So, Xu Gong released one of his sons and a few loyal doormen and domestic servants. so as not to be served by Sun Ce.

Although this Xu Gong is ruthless, he is still a good man. When he was young, he liked rangers, so that he could make friends with high rollers and warriors. The family is wealthy, and for some elders who have a skill, they like to keep them at home, and they are more benevolent to their guests and servants, and they are very loyal to their guests and servants.

Xu Gong was worried that the matter would be exposed, so he asked his domestic servants and doormen to accompany his son out to avoid chaos. I sat alone in the camp and waited for news. When he was restless, a guest came to report, 'Sun Ce came to pass the message to the master to meet and discuss something.' As soon as Xu Gong heard that he knew that the matter was going to be bad, he didn't say much, knowing that the matter had come to this point, and he couldn't hide if he wanted to. So he got dressed up and went to see Sun Ce with the little school that came to him.

After Xu Gong entered, he looked around, there were only Sun Ce and Zhu Zhi in the room, knowing that things were going to be bad, and secretly thought: "If Zhang Zhao is here, his life may be saved." Now and now-----。 ”

Xu Gong is also a man, and he entered proudly, and after the school withdrew, Sun Ce said: "Xu Taishou is very idle during this time!" I heard that I often write letters to friends from all sides, but I don't know what they write? Can you show it to me? ”

Xu Gong's face changed slightly: "Gong Zicheng General left his life and has been living in the camp, and he has not written any letters to friends from the outside world, so he can't show it to the general." ”

Sun Ce smiled coldly and said, "Is this really the case? Then who wrote this letter to Cao Gong. ”

Xu Gong's face turned pale and said: "Gong didn't write anything to Duke Cao, maybe someone is dissatisfied with Gong and intends to frame Gong." I also hope that the general will investigate in detail and return a clean slate. Tribute is grateful! ”

When Sun Ce heard this, he was furious, and couldn't help but shout: "You dare to quibble in front of the facts, take a look, is this your handwriting?" After saying that, he threw the letter to Xu Gong.
