"This is what Sun Ce asked you to ask?" Hearing Sun Shangxiang's rather innocent tone, Lu An's expression was a little strange. Xiaobawang's character is notoriously tough, when did he become so soft?

"No, my eldest brother won't let me ask you, it's me who wants to ask you, you know that Brother Gongjin and my eldest brother are best friends, why do you only use Brother Gongjin instead of my eldest brother, which makes my eldest brother unhappy these days!" The simple Sun Shangxiang sold Sun Ce's recent situation completely in a few words.

"I see!" Lu An smiled slightly, he was so unintentionally revealed by the little girl, he vaguely understood.

Although Sun Ce has always been extremely tough and unwilling to work for himself, he and Zhou Yu are close friends, especially Zhou Yu was his subordinate before, and there is not much difference in identity and achievement between the two, but the current situation is that Zhou Yu has regained his glory in his own hands, and his own skills have finally been wiped out, I am afraid that everyone will be a little lonely in their hearts, I am afraid that it is precisely because of Sun Ce's occasional silence that Sun Shangxiang, the little sister who gets along with him every day, is noticed, That's why this young girl would run over to ask the reason when she met her.

Now that he knew the reason, Lu An didn't want to deceive a little girl, so he said directly: "From my point of view, Zhou Yu's importance to me is much stronger than your eldest brother, and your eldest brother himself doesn't want to work for me, so I don't want to touch that moldy head, which will only increase the embarrassment!" ”

To put it bluntly, this sentence is a matter of value, what he needs now is a famous marshal in water warfare, at this point, there is no one in the world who is more suitable than Zhou Yu, and in terms of talent alone, the handsome Zhou Yu, who has a calm personality and superior resourcefulness, is much stronger than Sun Ce, so he Lu An does not mind putting down the noble status of the princes on his side and asking for talents.

And although Sun Ce is a super-first-class general, to put it mildly, with his status as Lu Xuantong at this time, there is no need to bend his body to invite Sun Ce to the door, especially if he does not necessarily succeed in inviting himself, it is even more impossible.

Unless Sun Ce is willing to give in to himself and take the initiative, then he will be happy for a while, after all, the top combat power will not be too much for anyone, but Lu An knows that this is almost impossible, don't look at Sun Ce is a little depressed in his heart now, but in fact, it is just a manifestation of the emotions in the human heart, and it does not mean that he Sun Ce has figured out to work for himself now.

"You, how can you say that about my eldest brother? Where is my eldest brother inferior to Brother Gongjin? As soon as Lu An said this, the little girl was a little annoyed at the moment. Just as every parent thinks that their baby is the best, in Sun Shangxiang's eyes, the eldest brother she has admired since she was a child is also the best, although Zhou Yu treats her like a sister, but in comparison, Sun Shangxiang still prefers her own eldest brother.

"It's not that it's inferior, but the value to me is not as important as Zhou Yu, eh, I guess I can't understand a little girl like you, you just treat me as a mere person!" Lu An didn't want to break a little girl's admiration for her eldest brother too much, so he said casually. He doesn't want to accompany the little girl to work here, this is the Nuwa Temple, there are so many people, he can't hula a bunch of guards around him to stop here for the people to look sideways, not to mention that Diao Chan and the girls are still waiting for him in the carriage.

"No, you have to make it clear before leaving, don't try to perfunctory me, my eldest brother often says that you are a very powerful person, how can you be mediocre!" Lu An obviously underestimated Sun Shangxiang's stubbornness, she directly stopped in front of her, looking at the small appearance, she had to get a satisfactory answer.

"Okay, I have served you, in fact, I think your eldest brother is very strong, but I am afraid that he doesn't want to go out of the mountain and didn't ask, and now the position of Gongjin can't be changed, you help me bring a word to Sun Ce, just ask him if he is willing to come out and work for me? I am willing to promise him the rank of lieutenant of the military academy! Lu An was a little speechless, so he sent her away. It's time to probe Sun Ce's tone, if he is really willing to come out, then he is also happy. Anyway, a military captain, although it is a position of real power, but it is not as good as Zhou Yu's chief instructor, everyone will not say anything.

"Is this your personal invitation to my eldest brother?" The little girl tilted her head and thought for a moment, then asked suddenly.

"Count!" Lu An nodded.

"Okay then, I'll tell my eldest brother when I go back!" Sun Shangxiang didn't know what Zhou Yu's official position was as the chief instructor, but he was definitely a very high position to be able to train all the armies in Jiangdong, although Lu An said that he could give his eldest brother a captain's position, but he could finally save some face for his eldest brother, so he felt that Lu An was still a little sincere, so he left happily.

"Heh, she really deserves to be the daughter of the Sun family!" Lu An watched her go away in a hurry, and couldn't help but smile and shake his head. Although he is not very old, Sun Shangxiang's personality is somewhat similar to Sun Jian and Sun Ce, both of them have the same temper as a hard bag, and dealing with this kind of person, to be honest, it will not be offensive.

"Who was that little girl just now?" When Lu An got into the carriage again, the Diao Chan girls on the side asked with a little curiosity. Dare to stop their car in front of the guards in public, she is still a little girl, but it is quite unusual.

"Sun Ce's sister, it's quite cute to fight for her eldest brother." Lu An replied casually.

"Oh!" The women nodded, but said no more.

The group returned to the state pastor mansion, Lu An did not take this matter to heart, but continued to repeat his previous life, except for part of the time to accompany his wife and concubine, the rest of the time was on government affairs, soon it was Chinese New Year's Eve, this period of time he had to hurry up a little, should be dealt with well, let the people of Jiangdong live a stable year.

、、

Compared with the Taiping in Jiangdong, the Central Plains is still tense, although Cao Cao is strong enough to occupy a huge advantage, but Lu Bu is obviously not a soft persimmon, in addition to his unparalleled martial arts in the world, he also has Zhang Liao Gaoshun and other first-class generals under his command, and his resistance is also very strong, so Cao Cao's army has been advancing very slowly, and at this time he has just taken the two counties of Xuzhou.

But Cao Cao himself knows that he must not be impatient, the so-called accumulation of small victories into big victories, such a steady advance, it will not be long before Lü Bu will be completely annexed, but unfortunately this year he and his soldiers will not be able to return to their Yanzhou to spend Chinese New Year's Eve, although at this juncture do not say that they have to chase and fight, but at least Lü Bu can not breathe, otherwise if the war is really dragged on too long, it will be very bad if Yuan Shao over there will go south with a large army before he stabilizes the Central Plains.

At this time, Cao Cao's army had just taken Pengcheng, and he was about to rest his army for a few days before attacking Guangling County, when he received bad news, and the Mao Jie, who he sent out to recruit Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, came back with nothing.

"Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong refuse to come out? Could it be that they have other plans and want to vote for someone else? Sitting on the high seat in the hall, Cao Cao's mood was a little inexplicably irritable, and the joy of capturing Pengcheng in the past few days also dissipated at this moment.

If it is an ordinary talent, if you don't come, you won't come, he Cao someone will not take it to heart for this, but this Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong are what he wants to achieve, not for anything else, just because these two have defeated his comrade-in-arms Lu Xuantong back then, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong have the ability to be honest, he doesn't know very much, but he understands Lu Xuantong, such a perfect person, was actually repulsed, then these two people must have earth-shattering talents, how can he Cao someone not want to be included in the urn, but unfortunately the other party is far away in Jingzhou, the two of them don't have this will, he Cao someone is beyond the reach of the whip after all.

"That's not true, they just say that they are still young now, and they want to continue to study behind closed doors, and they don't want to be out of office for the time being!" Mao Jiebu explained. If the other party doesn't want to go out, then he is still reluctant to say the past as a messenger, and if the other party wants to take refuge in others, then he is really a bit embarrassed as a messenger.

"Why don't you want to be out of office because you're young, it's just a perfunctory excuse, if they really don't want to make a contribution, they won't help Liu Biao repel Xuantong, I think they haven't figured out where to go in their hearts is true!" Cao Cao was in a bad mood at the moment, so he snorted coldly. This kind of prevarication, how can he deceive him Cao someone, if Zhuge Liang and the two of them have no ambitions, how could they rather harm Lu An and help Liu Biao repel him, not to use Lu An's reputation to fulfill themselves, so that they can make a name for themselves.

"The subordinates are incompetent!" When Cao Cao said this, Mao Jie's face sweated, and he confessed again and again.

"It's none of your business, such people, their minds are very firm, and it is difficult to convince them through foreign words! You have worked hard back and forth, go down and rest! Although there was fire in his heart, Cao Cao knew the measure, and he still gently let Mao Jie retreat.

"Subordinates retire!" Mao Jie arched his hand, and then withdrew from the hall with a ashamed face.

"Forget it, if you don't come, you won't come, I Cao has a wise man under my hand, and there is no shortage of him!" Although he felt a little uncomfortable about this, Cao Cao would not affect his due cause because of this matter after all, and after lightly defending himself, he beckoned Liu Bei to look at the simple map of Xuzhou: "Xuande, come over and take a look, where do you think we should attack next?" Tokai country? Or take it straight down? ”

To Cao Cao's surprise, no one answered when he shouted, he raised his head in surprise, only to find that Liu Bei didn't know what he was thinking, and his expression was a little demented, as if he was out of the world.

"Xuande, what's wrong with you?" Cao Cao walked up to Liu Bei and asked with some concern. During this period of time, Liu Bei and his two righteous brothers have made many meritorious achievements, and they have always felt that Liu Bei has no other way to go except to take refuge in him at this time, so Cao Cao also attaches great importance to Liu Bei at this time, and regards the three brothers as virtuous talents under him.
