Chapter 228: Conversation

Sun Quan is very young, unlike his eldest brother Sun Ce, he is rarely influenced by his father Sun Jian, he is not good at martial arts on weekdays, or he is not as obsessed with martial arts as Sun Ce at all, this time, the eldest brother asked him to guard the city, he really couldn't guess the intention of the eldest brother.

Sun Jian has a total of four sons, in addition to the eldest brother Sun Ce and himself, he also has three younger brothers, namely: Sun Yi, Sun Kuang, Sun Lang; Among them, Sun Yi has a lot of strength, and his style is very similar to that of his eldest brother Sun Ce, in Sun Quan's opinion, the eldest brother must be more fond of him no matter what.

Take 10,000 steps back, even if Sun Yi can't do it, Sun Kuang and Sun Lang are good enough, whether they are dignified or can fight well, they should be above him.

Sun Quan also asked Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong about this issue, and the proud courtiers of the two eldest brothers persuaded him not to think too much and do what he should do, and he was gone.

But this time is different, he is in charge of the big city Shouchun, and the opponent may be Cao Cao's entire army, he really doesn't feel any self-confidence, not to mention that his eldest brother also sent a thief like Chen Ce to cheer him up......

As for Chen Ce, everything seemed to be much simpler than Sun Quan thought, Lu Su's honesty and Sun Ce's promise completely moved Chen Ce, and he was determined to help the little overlord of Jiangdong to defeat the Cao Cao in the Central Plains. So, on the day of sending Lu Su away, Chen Ce led about 10,000 people including Lujiang thieves to march towards Shouchun together.

In this way, Sun Ce's subordinates in Shouchun totaled about 30,000 people, although it was not much, but it was enough for a defensive battle.

The day after Zhao Yue arrived in Xuchang, the grand reception ceremony began, and from morning to evening, there were not a few celebrities in Xuchang who came to inquire.

Zhao Yue didn't have time to rest in the pavilion, and sent away a batch, and another batch came, some of them came to see the style of King Qin, and some of them were people who had lived in Xuchang for a long time, and they came to offer the treasures of their homes.

Cao Cao did not seem to show any jealousy or dissatisfaction with Zhao Yue's popularity, but was very much in favor of this phenomenon, and he also sent his officials to greet Zhao Yue and ask if Zhao Yue needed anything.

Zhao Yue saw that Xuchang's economy was already so prosperous, but everyone was thrifty and thrifty, and he didn't put forward too many harsh requirements, but he just hoped that Cao Cao would be able to treat the soldiers he brought well.

Cao Cao heard Zhao Yue just make such a request in the garden of the governance office, and said with a smile: "Haha, this young boy loves soldiers like a son, and he likes him alone, okay, pass the order down, and bring him the best diet and daily life for those soldiers who brought him, kill more cattle and sheep, and slaughter more chickens and ducks!" ”

"Yes......" The person who reported the news received the order and went to prepare in a hurry.

Beside Cao Cao, a strategist dressed elegantly and with a slightly thin figure walked over, and on both sides of the corridor were planted flowers and plants, and he went around all corners and walked straight to Cao Cao's side.

Cao Cao glanced back and greeted the visitor: "Oh, it's Fengxiao, how are you preparing for tonight's party?" At the banquet, you must treat the guests well, and don't let them think that our army is in vain! ”

Guo Jia bowed slightly and said: "Obey, lord, everything is in order, and without affecting the relationship between our two armies, let Zhao Yue and his subordinates see the strength of our army." However, the lord ...... Today, the inn where Zhao Yue is located is already full of guests, and there is an endless stream of guests, so the lord is not wary of this phenomenon? ”

Cao Cao frowned and thought about it, he understood what Guo Jia meant, but what he didn't understand was that Guo Jia thought he should do it in his heart at this time, looking at the servants who were carrying the wine jar in the distance in the house, Cao Cao not only said: "Fengxiao, the people in Xuchang City see me all day long, so they are like relatives, between relatives, although there is a weight of blood, the relationship is as light as clear water, and what is pursued is a continuous flow of getting along; But they are different from Zhao Yue, they and Zhao Yue are new friends, and their hearts are full of unknowns, so they can't help but explore, however, once this sense of unknown is broken, this situation will not exist. ”

After Guo Jia heard this, he hurriedly said: "The lord is a good man, however, presumably the lord also knows that Zhao Yue has done a lot of earth-shattering things in Luoyang recently, and has gained a lot of people's hearts, should you think about the future of our army and think of some countermeasures?" ”

After Cao Cao heard this, he nodded: "Well, you are very right, Cao Yuanze, the prime minister of the DPRK and China, was assassinated, and the murderer was Zhao Yue's personal guard, saying that he had nothing to do with this assassination, and the world would probably not believe it." Daring to send someone close to him to assassinate a high-ranking official under the emperor's nose is enough to see that although this person is young, he is ruthless, and if this kind of person is allowed to continue, it will indeed become a big disaster for our army in the future. But Fengxiao, do you know that I want to send troops with Zhao Yue to fight against Sun Ce this time, does there another meaning? ”

After Guo Jia heard this, he frowned, obviously, he hadn't thought of another meaning before, seeing Cao Cao move his lips, ready to explain, Guo Jia hurriedly smiled and stopped: "The lord is slow, can you allow the minister to think about it or two." ”

Cao Cao touched his beard, showed a scheming smile, and did not hurry to speak.

Guo Jia thought about it again, and was sure that he had guessed Jun Yi, so he asked tentatively: "Lord, you not only want to show the strength of our army, but also want to see the strength of Zhao Yuejun, if his strength is very strong, Lord, you will take measures, is this right?" ”

Cao Cao nodded in front of Guo Jia with his hand, and looked cautiously around the mansion, convinced that no outsider could hear what he was going to say next, so he nodded reassuringly: "Those who know me, Feng Xiaoye, at present, our army has occupied the Central Plains, only Kong Ling in Runan, Zhu Rong in Beihai is not in the picture, and, in terms of strength, our army is in war with Zhao Yue at this time, and it is completely certain that it will win, I think this time we will send troops together, you can see his ability, if you are sure that he may pose a huge threat to our army in the future, I will leave it in Xuchang. ”

Guo Jia took a deep breath, he knew what the word "stay" of the lord Cao Cao represented, but as a courtier, he had to remind Cao Cao that Yuan Shao's strength in Hebei was also very strong, and if the other party came to crusade because of Yuan Shu's death, then Zhao Yue could still have great use value.

After Cao Cao heard this, he just looked at the birds in the sky that had not yet flown south, did not say a word, and stopped for a long time before saying to Guo Jia: "Okay, Fengxiao, these things will be discussed after tonight, prepare to prepare, and when it is late at night, the banquet will begin." ”
