It is a sigh of wonder that a grand welcoming ceremony in Lou County turned into a farce that ended in a hurry—there was hardly a winner in this obscure encounter, whether it was Sun Ce and his army, or the Jiangdong families who came to greet the gods, or the most innocent onlookers who were drawn into this upper-class struggle.

Of course, the most depressing of them should be the innocent lying gun, even though he continued to remedy but was accidentally inserted into a hedgehog by one after another - even though Sun Ce generously said afterwards that the matter had nothing to do with him, and even praised his talent in organization, but the Louxian county commander Huang Xian, who had a keen sense of smell, still submitted his resignation to Sun Ce, and simply abandoned the official and fled after Sun Ce's rejection, only to be captured by the soldiers who "happened" to appear on the way to escape before he escaped from the boundaries of Lou County.

According to the official version, Huang Xian, the ghost of the secret thief, was accidentally discovered and captured by patrolling soldiers.

As for the facts, we don't know, anyway, Huang Xian's family property in Lou County was seized quite quickly.

As for the side that profited from this "unexpected conflict", probably the old man with mysterious behavior can be regarded as the only winner, but he was also entangled by the "little overlord" who commanded Jiangdong, and it was definitely not so easy to deal with.

It's just that considering his intention to lure Sun Ce, maybe such a result has long been expected by him, and it is not necessarily.

The journey back from Lou County to Wu County did not happen any strange things, but it made Zhou Yu, who had been nervous all the way, feel somewhat exhausted, but he also had to support it reluctantly, and jointly held a triumphant entry into the city with Zhang Zhao and others, although it was not comparable to Lou County, but it was better than there would be no uneyed guys to make trouble, which somewhat alleviated Sun Ce's unhappiness.

Those children of the family who were cheated in Lou County naturally appeared at this entry ceremony under the coercion of Sun Cejun. It is a clear signal to the powerful families of Jiangdong to support the growth of Sun Cejun's power, and to those families who are still neutral and recalcitrant - do not resist anymore, because you will soon become a minority and eventually disappear into the long river of history.

Whether such an approach makes sense, or how effective it can be, Sun Cejun's advisers don't dare to pack tickets, but at least one thing is certain. That is the children of those families who appeared at this entrance ceremony, they and the families behind them will definitely be labeled as Sun Cejun on a certain Cheng dù, and they will naturally be rejected by other families who still insist on confronting Sun Cejun in the future, even if they may be full of resentment towards Sun Ce's behavior in their hearts, but they may not become a new help under the inspiration of interests.

This is an upright conspiracy, even if those wealthy families know that this is a huge trap, they have to jump forward.

After all, don't look at the current Jiangdong families, it seems that they are united to advance and retreat together, but everyone knows that before Sun Ce entered Jiangdong, there were not a lot of dirt between these families. Even if there is a betrayal of each other, it is definitely not a surprise.

As for the old Taoist of Langxie Palace named Yu Ji, he did not appear at the entrance ceremony this time.

He was released by the reluctant Sun Ce.

Well, since it is extremely reluctant, you should know how difficult it would be for Sun Ce's good friend Zhou Yu to persuade him to give up his share of Ji Lao Dao as a trophy to participate in this city entry ceremony.

Especially when Sun Ce noticed that the old way that he had released was still so breezy and calm, still as calm and natural as before, as if he didn't care about Sun Ce's threat to his life at all. The anger that had already accumulated a lot almost burned Sun Ce's reason again, in that case, even if he had his good friend Zhou Yu by his side, he would be powerless.

Anyway. The matter in Lou County can finally end in a relatively peaceful ending, which should be said to be thankful.

Although even now, when Sun Ce heard that Yu Ji Lao Dao was still quite popular when he heard that Yu Ji Lao Dao was still quite popular in Lou County, he would still show manic feelings, just like a wild dog that could never eat a certain fragrant meat bone.

Even for a certain period of time, Zhou Yu had to consider whether he needed to invite the old lady out to settle the matter?

Soon, Zhou Yu discovered that this old Taoist named Yu Ji seemed to be Sun Ce's nemesis, and his news continued to reach Sun Ce's ears like an inextricable weed. And every time news related to it appears, it can trigger a new round of emotional fluctuations in Sun Ce, and in some cases, even if there is a situation of "three shocks a day", it is not an exaggeration.

I always feel that I really can't live like this.

Or is it true that Yu Ji (Yu Ji) is the ultimate destination of the overlord, and good friends can't fight against their lovers no matter what.

If you calculate it this way, Sun Bofu is also a big bastard who is heavy on color and light on friends.

The truth opened the guy's head and looked at what was inside.

Occasional free time. A handsome and elegant man, but with a little gloom because of his recent state of mind, can't help but think about something that is somewhat out of place for him. Even if it's just a flash, I always feel as if I've done something terribly wrong, the feeling of betraying the friendship between each other, frightening but at the same time having an alternative feeling, constantly stimulating the sensitive nerves of men, that indescribable love is like maggots attached to the bones, which is difficult to get rid of.

It seems that this old Taoist priest who suddenly appeared and forcefully inserted into their lives has driven the two of them crazy.

"It looks like if it goes on like this, it's going to end badly."

But the more he collected all kinds of information about the god man who claimed to be Yu Ji, the more frightened Zhou Yu became.

This is definitely a guy who is even more dangerous than opening his horns!

The reason for this judgment is the conclusion that Zhou Yu came to after comparing it with some of Zhang Jiao's past.

Zhang Jiao's demon attributes are already well-known to the current subjects of the Han Dynasty, and although his past is officially covered up, it can be regarded as widely spread, especially after the defeat of the rebellion led by Zhang Jiao, the once huge and majestic empire of the Han Dynasty has entered chaos and turmoil, so a lot of news is too late to destroy, as long as there is a caring person. It is always possible to collect a lot of information from various sources, whether it is true or false.

Not to mention that because of Li Shushi, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu originally cared more about Zhang Jiao than ordinary people.

Zhang Jiao's early background is no longer exquisite, although there are many versions, many of which seem to be derogatory, but Zhou Yu feels that the other party should at least be a scholar from a poor family, after all, even if Zhang Jiao later obtained the "Taiping Technique" is really because of the so-called immortal teaching. But if you want an illiterate adult to learn so many strange spells through the Taoist books that are more obscure than ordinary classics, even if there may be such a legendary thing in the world, this ultra-small probability of existence can be completely attributed to impossible events.

As for the origin of Zhang Jiao's mysterious spell later, there are probably many versions, but what Zhou Yu is more concerned about are two of them - one of them is naturally the legendary Tongguò self-taught by the Nanhua immortals, and the other is that Zhang Jiao did not know how to get the inheritance of the equally legendary Taoist book "Taiping Qing Lingdao" from the Langxie Palace, and then learned an amazing skill from it.

Either of these claims seems to have some truth. But there are some flaws, but the reason why Zhou Yu pays so much attention to these two statements is not without reason, you must know that the reason why Zhang Jiao was able to accumulate enough reputation before he set off a rebellion is that he is indeed quite good at metaphysics and wisdom, which can make those great Confucians in Shilin also have to admire his attainments in this area, and it is also because he often walks in the fields and ridges, and uses Fu Shui to treat ordinary people for free with his disciples, so that he can accumulate a great reputation over time.

At last. In addition, the Taiping Dao founded after his fame grew was accepted by the emperor Liu Hong at the time, although there were no moves such as canonizing him as a national teacher or a state religion. But this attitude of not objecting or even secretly indulging is enough to make Taiping Dao spread to every corner of the entire Han grassroots like a fire in a short period of time, or expand.

And at this time now, in the land of Jiangdong, there is once again a character who is also good at using runes to save the people, and at the same time has a metaphysical ability that is better than Zhang Jiao's, and the most important thing is that this person is still from the mysterious Lang Evil Palace in Zhang Jiao's related legends. This really can't help but make Zhou Yu feel vigilant enough.

Could it be that this Yu Ji is actually a powerful version of Zhang Jiao that can't be hidden?

Zhang Jiao has only been learning the Tao for more than ten years, and he can already control people's hearts and set off a bloody storm in the land of the Han Dynasty, and now he is an older man, and his strength seems to be more unfathomable because of the affairs of Lou County, and his identity is Zhang Jiao, who probably belongs to the level of the master and even the great-grandfather. An old monster that has been quite famous since Emperor Shun, this Nima is going against the rhythm of the sky!

And this is why Zhou Yu is so concerned about the first rumor about where Zhang Jiao's learning came from.

If there is a part of Zhang Jiao's unpredictable ability, it is best that most of it is learned from the rumored "Taiping Technique" passed down by Nanhua Lao Xian, Zhou Yu feels that he may be able to breathe a sigh of relief.

But if the first rumor is purely false, Zhang Jiao's skills are all learned from the Lang Evil Palace......

The gods, Buddhas, ghosts, and ghosts, no matter which way the great immortals are, come out and take in this old monster that bothers their feelings as good friends, you let two "ordinary" humans deal with that kind of non-human level existence, it's too tricky!

Well, this is just Zhou Yu's impulse to flip the table when he was a little too excited when he thought of this possibility, in fact, if he really determined that his opponent was indeed some kind of old monster-level being, whether it was Zhou Yu or Sun Ce after venting, he would not be the kind of coward who directly lost his fighting spirit, and the stronger the opponent, the stronger the opponent, the harder they would only provoke them to work harder to solve those difficulties.

Otherwise, in the dilemma of Sun Jian's internal will being shaken and the external wolves being fed at that time, Sun Jiaban would have collapsed long ago, instead of crisscrossing Jiangdong as it is now, and in order to make up for the disadvantages of being a latecomer, he would only race against the day.

It's just that Zhang Jiao, who has ambitions, has transformed the forces gathered around him because of his past actions into war capabilities, how much damage he has caused to the Han Dynasty, even after so many years have passed, it is still fresh in the memory of those who have experienced it, even if Zhou Yu himself has not experienced that turmoil. But Huang Gai and Cheng Pu were all witnesses of that incident, so Zhou Yu, who had a deep understanding of this qiē, naturally knew very well how much disaster it would bring to Jiangdong if Yu Ji chose the same path as Zhang Jiao.

Previously, he was reluctant to wave the butcher knife in his hand at this "famous man" because killing him might cause a great shock to Jiangdong, but when Zhou Yu found that if he didn't kill this person, Jiangdong would have an extra sword of Damocles hanging above his head, so even if this Yu Jizhen was harmless to people and animals, Jiangdong would definitely put it under his control.

Not to mention the one in Lou County, which made Sun Ce and Zhou Yu very clear that the other party obviously lacked kindness to them.

Or to put it simply. is that the other party is full of malice towards Sun Cejun, and it can even be said that he is an undying enemy.

"However, the more this is the case, the more we can't act at will, we must have enough information and strike at it with a thunderbolt, otherwise not only will we not be able to solve the other party, but Jiangdong will fall into great chaos, and even our side may fall into division."

Zhou Yu's exhortation to Sun Ce was not untargeted, in fact, after really investigating the other party, he knew what kind of Cheng Cheng had reached this Yu Ji, who was full of malice towards them, had infiltrated Jiangdong - not to mention Lou County, just hearing his name and the family members and ordinary people who were about to flock to him. staged a farce that made Sun Ce extremely annoyed and embarrassed. Even within Sun Cejun, there were also a large number of subordinates who had a fairly close relationship with Yu Ji and Yu Ji's disciples and grandchildren.

And this is not the most troublesome thing, because Zhou Yu just learned that even Sun Ce's two mothers, Sun Jian's two widows, Mrs. Wu's sisters, also believe in Ji, and Sun Ce's second brother Sun Quan also had some dealings with Lang Xie Palace, who was good at Qihuang's technique, because of the treatment of Zhou Tai, even though these contacts were not very profound. But it also made Zhou Yu have to be careful.

Of course, the same is true for Sun Ce, who is the ultimate decision-maker.

It's just a little bit unexpected......

"Since I feel that the information at hand is insufficient. I can't see the whole picture of that guy, so call that guy to my eyes and take a serious look at it, instead of hiding on the side and thinking about it, it's better to collide head-on, what I get is not only the most direct and more precious, but also the result obtained with the body is far more accurate than the thinking of the mind, isn't it~"

"It's probably just the idea of a guy like you who moves faster than his head."

"Hey, hey. Maybe Gongjin is right, but sometimes it's not a good thing to think too much, just like on the battlefield, and sometimes the more you think about it, it's better to have the courage to charge with the courage to solve the problem. ”

"So did you think about the pros and cons of a qiē before you charged?"

"Of course. Even if you can't think it all through, you won't be left behind in basic judgment and intuition. ”

Sure enough, this is Sun Cebofu's style. And that's why this pair of good friends can be so intimidating to the enemy when they join forces - the division of labor between them is sometimes very clear, sometimes a little vague and can be substituted for each other, but in the end, Sun Ce, who has a hearty personality, prefers to use a more direct approach, like his fighting style, which may sometimes be called unconscionable, but most of the time it can often lead the situation on the battlefield.

As long as it is not a mindless punch, in fact it can only be regarded as a combat style with no superiority or inferiority.

Some generals are accustomed to strategizing in the rear and judging the development and changes of the situation, while others take themselves as the forerunner to incorporate the battle situation into their own actions, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and there is more than one way to win, and even sometimes thinking too much is not necessarily the right choice, and the biggest negative teaching material in this regard is Sima Yi, who hesitates outside the empty city.

Therefore, although in terms of personal character, Zhou Yu obviously can't like the pig's sudden fighting style like Sun Ce, but he won't really interfere too much in his friend's behavior, but will be like a virtuous wife, silently check and fill in the gaps in his friend's behavior behind him, and do his part.

So it's not a casual thing to talk about a good friend for a lifetime!

It's like Li Shushi is in the state army, when he hasn't made a decision yet, both Cheng Yu and Xiaoqiang can fight with reason. Even Jia Xu can sometimes temporarily abandon his attachment to kicking Fei Cun zài, and even sometimes in order to achieve certain goals, he has not done some other actions in private.

But when Li Shushi made up his mind and began to put it into practice, unless he intended to break up completely, everyone's only choice was to work hard to complete the task assigned by Li Shushi, and the core of Yiqiē also operated with the goal set by Li Shushi as the core.

Of course. As far as intimate Cheng dù is concerned, even if Li Shushi and Xiaoqiang and others are tied up, it is probably not as good as a good combination of friends who are heart-to-heart, if it weren't for Li Shushi's side to take advantage of the overwhelming number of people, the battle of Yanshi would not have been so quick to divide the victory or defeat.

Anyway, these two people are good friends who can support each other for a lifetime.,Two Loli or something is completely an obstacle to this kind of true love.,It's like those two men who have that mountain in their hearts.,Wife or something is just a kind of decoration and social constraints.。

Ahem, it seems like I've run a little too far.

So, a few days after that conversation passed. Zhou Yu, who had made a little preparation, began his own plan.

First of all, according to Sun Ce's idea, he directly invited the unsettling Yu Ji Lao Dao to Wu County, nominally to ask Yu Ji to explain his knowledge, but for both sides, they were very clear about the other party's malice towards themselves.

It's just that in the face of the formal invitation made by Sun Ce's side, Yu Ji agreed without thinking about it, obviously from the previous table. This veteran was not afraid of Sun Ce's threat to his life, even in Zhou Yu's opinion. Yu Ji may also wish that Sun Ce could turn that kind of threat that has no technical content into facts, instead of staying in words all the time.

So three days later, when Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, Zhang Zhao and others were discussing the governance of Jiangdong in their rebellious general's mansion, they suddenly found that the soldiers guarding outside the gate suddenly exchanged heads and ears there.

It must be known that for guards, it is a very taboo to have selfish desires while on duty, not only because such behavior is likely to disturb the mood of the person being guarded. Most importantly, this behavior can distract the eyes of the guards, causing them to ignore the many dangers that could harm the person they are defending.

In other words, no matter how you justify it, this kind of private whispering is a very serious act of malfeasance.

If no one finds out, they may be able to get away with it. But now Sun Ce, who is as fierce as fire, has found and caught a positive spot, even if Sun Ce is cheerful on weekdays and treats his subordinates very leniently, but he still can't forgive the mistakes of his subordinates, after all, there are no rules, especially for those who are in charge of the army, if there is no reward for merit, and there is no punishment, then the cohesion of the army will definitely be greatly reduced and even have the possibility of collapse. Even if the physical punishment of the guards who had made many meritorious deeds was not given, the punishment of expelling the guards and demoting them to ordinary soldiers was still enough to make a dignified person die of shame.

Sun Ce didn't punish a few people too much, but he was still very uncomfortable in his heart, after all, these people were born and died on the battlefield with him, but they had to be transferred from their posts because of such a mistake, and it was not like the normal flow in Li Shushi's personal guard troops, even if they left the personal guard troops, they could get the opportunity to be promoted and promoted to higher positions. Once they have done it, they may be able to quickly regain the same heights even if they start from scratch, but it will be extremely difficult to go any further, unless they can make a very large contribution, which would mean a huge risk.

The originally relatively stable life suddenly became difficult, and it was no wonder that Sun Ce, who had a good relationship with the guards, was in such a bad mood, but it was a pity that he could not vent this feeling on his subordinates or the innocent people, so his mistake was naturally attributed to the reason that could make those guards whisper.

At the invitation of Sun Ce, he came to Wu County's old road Yuji. (To be continued......)
