Surrounded by dozens of civil and military officials and a large number of ordinary people, Ao Lie entered Yanjing City in a glorious manner and returned to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.

As soon as he entered the mansion, the smile on Ao Lie's face suddenly disappeared, and he asked Huang Zhong in a low voice, "Han Sheng, where is Bo Fu?" Huang Zhong replied: "In the west wing of the mansion, Bo Fu seems to have something to worry about, but he refuses to say anything to a certain person. Because Sun Ce was Ao Lie's disciple and Sun Shangxiang's eldest brother, and he was very familiar with the generals under Ao Lie's command, Huang Zhong did not let him live in the post house, but arranged him to live in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.

After hearing Huang Zhong's speculation, Ao Lie became more and more sure of his thoughts, Sun Ce must be in trouble. So, Ao Lie asked his subordinate Wen Wu to wait for him in the hall of the mansion first, but he himself turned around and walked towards the west wing.

When he came to the west wing, Ao Lie pushed open the door and saw two young figures in the room. It was Sun Ce who was sitting, and the other one was standing behind Sun Ce, judging by his age, he was only about twenty years old, and he was even younger than Sun Ce.

Seeing Ao Lie walk in, Sun Ce stood up suddenly, wanting to confide in Ao Lie, but in the end he cried bitterly, and choked out two words: "Master......"

Ao Lie and Sun Ce have known each other for a long time, they have never seen Sun Ce cry in the past three years, even when Sun Shangxiang blocked the poisonous arrow for Ao Lie and his life hung by a thread, Sun Ce was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and he endured not a single tear. The feeling in his heart became more and more bad, Ao Lie hurriedly stepped forward, stretched out his hand and patted Sun Ce's shoulder, and said with relief: "Don't worry, what's the matter, say it slowly." ”

Sun Ce is a tough guy and will not cry easily. But Sun Ce is also a temperamental person, once he cries, he can't hold it back. The young man standing behind Sun Ce sighed heavily. He bowed deeply to Ao Lie, and said the truth of the matter for Sun Ce: "Yu Junhou, a certain is Bo Fu's sworn brother, surnamed Zhou Mingyu and Gongjin. This matter is like this, after the farewell of Shaxian County, the old lord led his troops back to Jiangdong, resigned from the post of Changsha Taishou, and concentrated on governing Jiangdong. Under the hard work of the old lord, our Jiangdong Army was within a year. swept through thirty-six water thief lairs, the sound was great, and occupied five counties in Jiangdong in a row. Unexpectedly, it caused the dissatisfaction of the later general Yuan Shu, and united with Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao to set up a reef on the river, and on the way of the old lord's march, the old lord plotted against the old lord with random arrows. More than a month ago, the old lord died of serious injuries and had returned to heaven. Bo Fu was supported by the old lord's former ministers. has become the new lord of the Jiangdong Army. ”

Zhou Yu's words surprised Ao Lie, and he didn't even have time to take a closer look at the famous Jiangdong Zhou Lang in front of him. Turning his head to look at Sun Ce, Ao Lie with a sad look, slapped Sun Ce twice on the shoulder, and said loudly: "It's the eldest husband." Just hold on! There is no obstacle in this world that cannot be overcome. ”

Sun Ce suddenly wiped the tears on his face, forcibly endured the sadness in his heart, looked at Ao Lie and said, "Master." He intends to borrow troops from the master and kill them back to Jiangdong! ”

Zhou Yu explained on the side: "The prince didn't know, after Yuan Shu and Liu Biao plotted against the old lord, Yuan Shu immediately kicked Liu Biao away, and then led his troops to capture the four counties of Yangzhou. The lord came this time to borrow troops from the prince. ”

The matter has reached this point, which Ao Lie never expected. It seems that the inertia of history has quietly taken another turn in Sun Jian, which made Sun Jian encounter the plot more than a year late, and even Ao Lie, who is familiar with the laws of history, was caught off guard by this incident. Ao Lie originally thought that Sun Jian would not cause any more murder if he handed over the jade seal to him, but he didn't expect that Yuan Shu, a despicable and shameless villain, still teamed up with Liu Biao to plot against Sun Jian.

After a moment of silence, Ao Lie gave an affirmative answer: "Don't worry." A certain will definitely give you a military horse, so that you can make a comeback. Does Shang Xiang know about this? Although he has not officially married, in Ao Lie's heart, he has long regarded Sun Shangxiang and Zhen Mi as his wife, and treated them together with Cai Yan, so he naturally doesn't want Sun Shangxiang to suffer such a blow.

Sun Ce shook his head and said: "Little sister's city is too shallow, I can't hide things in my heart, if I tell my little sister, I'm afraid it won't be long before this matter will be known to the world." ”

Ao Lie nodded, thinking that Sun Ce's words were very reasonable. At the moment, Sun Ce's main opponents are Yuan Shu and Liu Biao, and Liu Biao is a master of success, and he has no ambition to expand outward, so Sun Ce only needs to deal with Yuan Shu with all his might. But if the news of Sun Jian's death is widely publicized, it is inevitable that there will be people who fall into the well and will take the opportunity to be unfavorable to the Sun family in Jiangdong. This matter can be concealed for as long as possible, and it is better to let Sun Shangxiang and those people with ulterior motives know about it later.

"Bo Fu, Gong Jin, you sit in the room for a while, go to the hall and discuss with everyone, and take out as many sergeants as possible and distribute them to you." After a few more words of comfort to Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, Ao Lie turned around and walked towards the hall.

Coming to the hall with a solemn look, Ao Lie's facial expression made the warm celebration in the hall instantly cool down. Originally, everyone was talking about Ao Lie's great achievements in defeating the three Xianbei this time, and I believe that it won't be long before the three Xianbei will be completely pacified and officially included in the territory of the Han Dynasty.

But when they saw Ao Lie's solemn expression, they immediately realized that something bad had happened, otherwise they would never have seen such a look on Ao Lie's face. In fact, after a year of painstaking study in the Yanjing Academy, Ao Lie has already been able to express his joy and anger, but the death of Sun Jian is too shocking, and there are too many things involved, not to mention that everyone who can enter the hall is Ao Lie's confidants, and for them, Ao Lie doesn't want to always wear an expressionless mask. Show your joy and anger at the right time, so that everyone under his command can feel that Ao Lie is a real and vivid lord, not an emotionless political machine. In this way, it is also more conducive to internal unity and promotes cohesion.

With a heavy sigh, Ao Lie's first sentence went straight to the point: "Everyone, the right person Sun Bofu told me that General Sun Wentai had died under the joint plot of Yuan Shu and Liu Biao. A certain has promised Bo Fu to lend him troops to return to Jiangdong to avenge him. ”

As soon as this remark came out, it shocked the four seats! Everyone here is a henchman who is relied on by Ao Lie, and the person who can be Ao Lie's henchman will never be a mediocre person. Although Ao Lie's words were simple, they keenly captured the meaning of this sentence. Jiangdong, I'm afraid it's going to be a big mess.

In terms of facts, the relationship between Yuan Shu and Ao Lie is close to mortal enemies; And Sun Ce is Ao Lie's disciple and eldest brother, who is closer is naturally a self-evident thing. In order to limit Yuan Shu's expansion and ask to stabilize the situation in the south, everyone has understood what Ao Lie means, and he is going to support Sun Ce.

For this point, it has been agreed by everyone present, including Tian Feng, who has always been upright. It is in the fundamental interests of the military group to help Sun Ce grow stronger and let him contain Yuan Shu in the south. It's just that the specific number of people lent to Sun Ce is different in his personal heart.

The upright people led by Tian Feng firmly believed that under the condition of ensuring the normal operation of the Youhe Group, they should appropriately lend troops to Sun Ce, and the specific number should be about 5,000 people; The more long-term faction, led by Zhuge Liang, believed that it was of long-term interest to help Sun Ce gain a firm foothold in Jiangdong, so he advocated that 10,000 troops should be raised to lend Sun Ce; And those elders under Ao Lie's command all had good personal relations with Sun Ce, and they all knew that Ao Lie really admired Sun Ce as a disciple, so not only did he increase the number of borrowed troops to 15,000, but many people were also willing to go to Jiangdong with Sun Ce, and then return to Youhe after helping Sun Ce stabilize the situation.

The three parties insisted on their own opinions, argued on the basis of reason, and had heated discussions and arguments, and in the end, Ao Lie made a decision, mobilized 10,000 horses, and asked Sun Ce to take them back to Jiangdong. For the sake of safety, Ao Lie also decided to have Gan Ning, the governor of the navy, lead the elite of the 5,000 Qilin army, and drive the building ship to send Sun Ce and 10,000 soldiers back to Jiangdong by sea. After arriving in Jiangdong, Gan Ning temporarily stayed by Sun Ce's side to help Sun Ce conquer Yuan Shu, and after the situation in Zhilu Dao was stable, he returned to Yanjing. As for the training of the navy after Gan Ning left temporarily, Su Fei, the deputy governor of the navy, was in charge; Lu Su, who has lived in Jiangnan for a long time and is familiar with water warfare, is the daily affairs of the governor of the navy and supervises Su Fei's training.

After deciding a series of things, Ao Lie ordered someone to invite Sun Ce and Zhou Yu to the hall and prepare to tell him about his decision.

A moment later, Sun Ce strode in, followed by Zhou Yu. After saluting Ao Lie and everyone present, the two stood in the middle of the hall with their hands down, waiting for Ao Lie's reply.

Ao Lie sighed with feeling, and then said to Sun Ce: "Bo Fu, you have also been a general under a certain account, Yanjing, it will always be your home, go back to your previous seat." ”

Sun Ce had followed Ao Lie's side for two years, and regarded himself as a disciple all day long, and now after hearing Ao Lie's words, his heart was also deeply moved, and he looked up at the general's seat, and saw that his previous seat was empty, so he immediately strode over and sat down on the seat. Zhou Yu had long heard Sun Ce say that although Ao Lie was the champion of the dynasty, the governor of Youhe and the Great Governor, and the general of the hussars, he was extremely affectionate and righteous. At that moment, Zhou Yu walked quickly to Sun Ce's seat and stood on the side. (To be continued......)
