"If it's just a matter of the general being reprimanded by the imperial court, there is no insight in the lowly position." Zhou Yu has a long body and a crisp voice. Even if Zhou Yu's age is only the age of learning, his bearing and conversation are already calm and calm.

Cheng Pu said with a smile: "General, I'll just say it, when it comes to this matter, it's not just the emperor's trouble for you." ”

Zhou Yu glanced at Cheng Pu, "If the general wants the lowly to say why the emperor issued an edict to reprimand, I may be able to guess and say something." ”

"Tell me." Sun Jian, who was holding a wine bowl and was drinking, said.

"A few days ago, I heard a report from the scouts that the vanguard army of the imperial court going south was all cavalry, and there were no foot soldiers in sight. And Yang Zhai is a strong city, how can attacking such a strong city work without soldiers? Zhou Yu said, "In other words, the emperor has been waiting for the general to take the lead with his command." ”

And all the cavalry, without the slightest foot soldier, can also be seen that the vanguard of the court is short of food and grass. Although Kong Ling is ignorant, he still has one or two people under his command, even if he is only a little knowledgeable, he should know that if he wants to retreat from the enemy army, he must not give the enemy a chance to replenish food and grass. ”

Cheng Pu hissed lightly, "So, the imperial court wants to win a quick victory, and is it rushing for time in this battle?" ”

"Exactly. Coming on a light ride, only a quick victory. Zhou Yu smiled calmly, "Calculating the time, several days have passed now, and maybe the grain and grass of the imperial court vanguard are no longer able to support." By this time, it was probably either that Yang Zhai had been breached, or that the imperial court had already withdrawn. ”

"But no matter what the result is, Yang Zhai's dish is already cold. The dish was cold, but the general who was supposed to be the leader had not yet led the army to Yangzhai, and the emperor was definitely going to be angry. ”

"It's just a decree to reprimand, but the humble position feels that the emperor is quite tolerant of the general."

Cheng Pu shook his head and said dissatisfiedly: "This still doesn't make sense. ”

"The imperial court is preparing to attack a fortified city like Yang Zhai, but they themselves are not fully prepared, how can they still rely on us?"

Zhou Yu smiled politely at Cheng Pu, and then said, "General Sun is the preparation of the imperial court. ”

"There are foot soldiers, there are light horses, and this battle is actually free to advance and retreat. But just a light ride, probably can only look at Yang Zhai's high wall and sigh, and there is nothing to do. ”

Sun Jian threw the wine bowl on the table, watched it spin drippingly, wiped his mouth and said: "Blame me for this matter, I should write to the emperor to ask for guilt!" ”

"General, it's not good to be a ......loyal minister," Cheng Pu admonished.

Sun Jian's attitude suddenly became resolute, "When you are a courtier, you will be a good courtier, and if you rebel, you will quickly pull the flag and rebel, indecisive, you will only harm others and yourself, and you are walking halfway, but it makes me hesitate, it shouldn't be like this." ”

"There is no need to say much about this matter, so be it, urge the soldiers and horses, set off as soon as possible, and we must rush to Yangzhai today."

"Whoa!" The generals said no more, and stood up and clenched their fists.

Sun Ce caught up with Zhou Yu, who was out of the account, and asked with a big grin, "Gong Jin, how did you see these things?" ”

"That's it...... See more. This question made Zhou Yu a little embarrassed.

"See more? I don't see a lot of you, so why can't I see it? Sun Ce scolded.

Zhou Yu shook his head and laughed, "If you want to see one thing clearly, you have to look at everything." ”

He gave an example and said: "Just like the battle of Yang Zhai, Kong Ling was incompetent, but Yang Zhai was rich, and the court rode lightly, the purpose was still for Lu Bu." If Kong Ling bowed his head softly, this matter would not be involved in a war, but Kong Ling was not only incompetent but also coaxed, and as soon as the soldiers and horses of the court arrived, he obviously had no idea. ”

He didn't notice at all that the imperial court was coming on light cavalry with thousands of cavalry, which clearly showed that it was chasing and killing Lu Bu, not for the purpose of fighting. Really fight Yang Zhai, do you think the imperial court will not prepare grain and grass, will it not prepare foot soldiers? ”

"Kong Ling's banner was torn and the city gate was closed, didn't this just provoke the emperor. This has become a battle that must be fought even if it is not fought, and the only soldiers and horses that the imperial court can mobilize in the near future are Uncle Sun's army, but Uncle Sun didn't expect this, and after walking for more than ten days, the emperor will not be even more angry. ”

Sun Ce's eyes were blank when he heard this, and his eyes were empty.

He scratched his head and was instantly deflated, "I still don't want to look at it, I can't understand it." ”

"You said so much, I can hear that the emperor's temper seems to be very bad, this is a thousand miles to chase and kill Lu Bu!"

Zhou Yu chuckled, "Bo Fu, the emperor is majestic, don't offend!" ”

"That is, the world is chaotic now, if it is in a peaceful and prosperous world, there will be no place for Lu Bu in the world."

"Now everyone in the world doesn't take the emperor in their eyes, but I think that His Majesty is not simple today."

Sun Ce sneered and said disapprerovingly: "No matter how simple it is, he is still helpless with Yuan Shao." ”

Zhou Yu raised his eyebrows and did not forcibly correct Sun Ce's opinion.

There are some things that most people only believe in seeing is believing.

"There are many people in the tent, and there is a sentence that I did not mention to General Sun. Later, you can find an opportunity to tell General Sun for me. Kong Ling's protection of Lu Bu in the city was to defy the emperor and provoke the emperor's authority. And General Sun's delay in the march is also contempt for the emperor, and he should beware of the southward raid of the imperial army! Zhou Yu said.

Sun Ce's tiger eyes glared instantly, "What's the matter?" Is the court still ready to beat us? ”

"If the emperor returns in Yangzhai without success, he will inevitably be angry with General Sun, and it is very likely that the troops will enter Yuzhou. The emperor is a little difficult to ride a tiger now, even if he fights strongly, I am afraid that he will have to let out this evil breath. Zhou Yu said.

"But if Yang Zhai has been breached, there will be a big turn for the better."

Sun Ce sneered, "If the little emperor doesn't give face to his father, I will pull the flag and rebel, hehe." Let's also emulate those heroes and make a big world for future generations. ”

Zhou Yu: ......

He had no doubt that this kid would really do that.

What kind of reckless man, Sun Ce is the real reckless man!

And this wasn't the first time he'd talked about it.

Compared with Sun Jian's wavering loyalty to the imperial court, Sun Ce didn't know what it was like to be loyal to the emperor at all.

"If you want to achieve great things, you can only go back to Jiangdong, otherwise you should persuade General Sun earlier." Zhou Yu said to Sun Ce half-jokingly.

"Really? It's on me. Sun Ce said with a happy face.

He really heard this in his heart.

Looking at Sun Ce's obviously serious expression, Zhou Yu suddenly regretted that he was talking too much.

It seems inappropriate to say this.

……

Loyalty to the court and the emperor depends on people, but it is also closely related to the general environment of the world.

Like Liu Yu, she always felt that she was a member of the clan, and her fate was tied to the dynasty.

No matter what the general environment of the world is, it can't change her beliefs.

Under Ayara's tent, she curled herself up into a lazy cat again.

In front of her, there stood two full rows of maids.

are all her henchmen.

“我现在啊，真有些后悔让你们习武了，看着你们练的这么魁梧，我很头疼。” There was a hint of tiredness and boredom in Liu Yu's tone.

She searched out all the good-looking maids in the house, and wanted to find two good-looking ones to serve the emperor.

But after looking at it for a whole day, she didn't find anyone.

As far as these henchmen in front of her are concerned, they are actually okay.

But you can only look at the face.

A slight downward gaze can scare a person to death.

The muscles on those arms are like stones, like a man like Qin An, these maids can beat ten at a time.

"Princess, although we can eat a little bit now, we are much more reliable in protecting the princess than those stinky men." Banxia, the maid who can be regarded as Liu Yu's personal guard, said,

Liu Yu seemed to be drunk, and said weakly: "Do you know how much opportunity you missed?" If you can sleep, you will fly on the branches and become phoenixes, one by one. ”

The faces of the maids suddenly turned red, and they were too shy to speak.

Banxia said in a low voice: "Princess, we won't go, we want to protect the princess all the time!" ”

The maids nodded in unison like chickens pecking rice.

Even if someone has the intention of flying on the branch, they dare not show it at this time.

"My aunt has a good life, and I'm really envious."

Outside the path shaded by flowers and plants, Liu Wei's voice sounded.

Liu Yu hurriedly pulled the somewhat messy skirt twice, got up and went out.

"Your Majesty."

Liu Wei came in a regular suit, with a smile on his face, "It shouldn't have disturbed my aunt's rest, right?" ”

"No, Your Majesty, please take a seat." Liu Yu said.

Thinking of Fang Cai's lazy appearance, Liu Yu's face was a little red.

I don't know if it was seen by the emperor.

Liu Wei knelt down under the pavilion, pulled over the square pillow that Liu Yu was leaning on just now, and put it under his elbow, "Aunt doesn't have to be restrained, do it at will." ”

"Yui!"

Liu Yu looked at it, sat on the side of the table, and personally warmed the wine for the emperor.

"Wine doesn't have to be lukewarm, I like to drink it cold." Liu Wei raised his hand and stopped Liu Yu.

"Yui!"

Peeling off an orange, Liu Wei ate it casually, and asked, "I don't know if my aunt is interested in becoming an official?" ”

"Me? Entering the court as an official?! Liu Yu was a little frightened, "Your Majesty said with a smile, how can I enter the court as an official." ”

"I said yes, naturally I can." Liu Wei said.

Liu Yu was a little moved.

Although she is a daughter, she wants to do something big.

But it is precisely because of her daughter's body that she wants to do something, which is as difficult as climbing to the sky.

"I wonder what His Majesty wants me to do?" Liu Yu asked quietly.

"Doing business." Liu Wei said.

"Doing business?!" Liu Yu was shocked again.

She suddenly remembered what the Emperor had told her yesterday.

"Your Majesty, are you really going to let the imperial court take action and help those merchants?" Liu Yu couldn't help but ask with some concern.

She has thought about this matter over and over again.

But even if she is a big businessman, she still feels that this matter is impossible.

"It has nothing to do with it." Liu Wei held the orange in his hand and put it down.

Nothing to do with it?

This made Liu Yu once again unclear what kind of medicine Liu Wei was selling in this gourd.

"I heard that my aunt was very interested in those ...... Well...... Barbarians, know what you know? Liu Wei asked.

He thought about it for a while before he remembered the name of the Northern Barbarian and the Southern Yi, which was a foreign race.

Liu Yu really couldn't figure out what the emperor was going to do, so he could only follow the words and say: "I don't know anything about it, it's just that I have some connections there, and I usually know a little about business." ”

"What's going on with business?" Liu Wei asked.

Liu Yu said without thinking: "It's probably like there was a war, or the tribe changed its head, natural disasters, and so on. In general, in these cases, I don't send people to that tribe for a while, because these will cause the price of livestock to skyrocket, and I would normally need a bunch of salt, maybe three or four times as much, or more. ”

Liu Wei got up, straightened his majestic posture, and said, "I have some business here, and I want to ask my aunt to take care of it on my behalf!" ”

"So Your Majesty wants me to take care of business?" Liu Yu said with a smile.

This doesn't seem to be an official in the court.

Liu Wei chuckled, "Military intelligence is like fighting fire, although I have issued an order to build a post station, but the transmission speed of military intelligence is still too slow. If the enemy could be anticipated or even known earlier, the imperial court would have taken the lead and gained the initiative in the war. ”

"It's going to be hard for someone else to do it. But for my aunt, I think this should be a bigger and better opportunity. It's not difficult to do business openly, secretly befriend the gentry and officials from all over the world, and obtain useful information, right? ”

Liu Yu froze, and his whole person was as petrified.
