Lü Fan, Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Zhu Zhi followed Sun Ce into the inner room.

The group sat down.

Sun Ce sat on the main seat.

The next person brought refreshments and set them up.

When Sun Ce saw his subordinates leaving, he poured a glass of spirits, drank it dry, and sighed.

Everyone looked at each other.

Zhang Hong asked out loud: "Lord, aren't you worried about Lu Changshi?" ”

Sun Ce put down the wine cup and glanced at everyone, then said quietly: "If it's not for him, who else can it be?" ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, you don't know about him, so you don't know the dangers."

"At the beginning, I met him in Shu County, and he was a small nest chief under Lu Kang."

"It's only been a little over three years now."

"He turned into the head of the Lu family, and a stomp of his feet can shock Wu Jun's existence, his mother's heart."

"With his words, he can make the larger families of Danyang County, Wu County, and Huiji County compete to be attached to each other."

"You say, how can I not be worried?"

"If it's not me, Sun Ce can't tolerate people."

"Look at Gongjin and Ziyi, I can't wait to share this world with them."

Zhang Zhao, who had not spoken, suddenly said: "The lord is not able to share the world with Zhou Yu and Tai Shici, but he knows that they will not fight, and he knows how to back down, so he is not worried about them fighting." This Lu Changshi, he is not the lord's confidant, and the lord is worried that he has other thoughts, so he is worried. ”

Zhang Zhao's words startled Zhang Hong.

How dare you say this?

In case the lord gets angry—

Cheng Pu originally looked down on Zhang Zhao.

At this moment, seeing that Zhang Zhao even dared to say such a thing, there was a hint of admiration in his eyes when he looked at Zhang Zhao.

Even he didn't dare to say this.

Although the lord is young, he is not his father after all.

He was more violent and unstoppable than his father.

Of course, it's a little braver.

However, his father was more obedient.

And he, who seems to be more gentle, is actually more stubborn in his heart.

You can say whatever he decides.

It's hard for you to say anything about what he refuses.

When Sun Ce heard Zhang Zhao say this, he forced a laugh and said, "Zibu, you underestimate me, don't you?" Am I that kind of person? ”

Zhang Zhao greeted Sun Ceqiang's smiling expression, and said with a serious face: "Lord, people must face their hearts. Blindly avoiding and not being able to understand one's own temperament is a very dangerous thing. ”

"As the saying goes, people are self-aware."

"I'm going to say something very serious, just assuming, don't take it to heart, lord."

Sun Ce looked at Zhang Zhao and said, "Zibu, you say." ”

Zhang Zhao said: "Everyone dies, and in today's troubled times, no one can avoid it." Suppose that the lord is in misfortune, but the lord's brother and children are very young. ”

"So, in whose hands is the army in the hands of the lord now?"

"Zhou Yu? Tai Shi Ci? ”

"Or do you want to put the army in the hands of Cheng Pu and other veterans."

Sun Ce: "."

Cheng Pu: "."

Zhang Zhao looked at Sun Ce's expression, sighed and said, "Lord, your suspicion is actually very serious. ”

"Lord, you just kept saying that you are willing to share the world with Zhou Yu and Tai Shici."

"However, if this is the case, your lord, you will definitely transfer Zhou Yu and Tai Shici to a place far away from Wu County for other reasons, and even prohibit them from approaching Wu County, and then entrust the army to Cheng Pu and other veterans."

Sun Ce's face flushed slightly.

Zhang Zhao asked himself and replied: "There is nothing to be embarrassed about. ”

"The lord thinks that it is a completely different thing from what he really thinks in his heart."

"The lord thinks that he is the same brother as Zhou Yu and Taishi Ciqing, but after all, he is not a brother."

"This Lu Changshi, in fact, is the same thing."

"My lord, you are not an ordinary general, and you can't decide your attitude towards your courtiers according to your preferences."

"The sea is tolerant of all rivers."

"My lord, you will be the one who will rule the world in the future."

"Well, you're going to face all kinds of people, especially a lot of people you don't like, or even hate."

"If you can't tolerate them, you can't see their strengths, you only see their weaknesses, then you're missing out on a lot of talent that can help you dominate."

"Lu Changshi is now your brother-in-law, and he doesn't show any rebellious intentions."

"It is true that he now stands out from the crowd and is followed by major families."

"But hasn't the lord thought about it? The reason why Madame wants to marry the lord's sister to him is that he can take the place of the lord's ability to mediate the major families? ”

"If he doesn't have this ability, what should we do when the Yuan army attacks this time?"

"What's more, Lu Changshi is indeed outstanding, in just three years, he has changed from a small nest chief to a powerful head of the Lu family."

"But the lord seems to have forgotten that you are better than him."

"Three years ago, you went out of the mountain after the funeral, and sent someone under the fence to wronged yourself under Yuan Shu's account."

"But now, the lord has occupied the three counties and has the capital to dominate one side."

"This, compared to Lu Changshi and the lord, it is like the difference between the light of fireflies and the bright moon."

"However, my lord, you still only occupy the land of three counties in Jiangdong, and you are far from the point of dominating the world."

"At this time, you should also lower your stature to accommodate talents like Lu Changshi."

Zhu Zhi hurriedly echoed: "Young General, what Zhang Gong said is very reasonable. No matter how strong Lu Changshi is, he is also a courtier, how can he be your opponent as a young general? Not to mention anything else, the major general is unstoppable, and he can lead the three armies to suppress all enemy forces, but this Lu Changshi is just a weak scholar, and if he really goes to the battlefield, he will only be at a loss. ”

"Let's just say that before, when you were still under Yuan Shu's account, I led the army to attack Wu County, and Lu Changshi trembled, which shows his true ability."

"The young general has the courage of an overlord, why should he surrender his identity and compare himself with a courtier?"

"In the past, Xiang Yu bravely won the three armies, would he care about Fan Zeng's threat?"

"On the contrary, he thought very highly of himself, and no longer cared about Fan Zeng's repeated reminders and assistance, and misjudged the current situation, which led to the rise of Emperor Gaozu."

Zhang Zhaoshen nodded approvingly and said, "Lord, what Zhu Zhi said is very reasonable. Lord, governing the world and conquering the world are two different things. The lord's ability to conquer the world is second to none, but there is still a lack of governance in the world. ”

Zhang Hong also said: "My lord, although what Zibu and Zhu Zhi said is ugly, it makes sense. ”

Lu Fan, who had not spoken, suddenly said: "Even if the lord really can't let go of his heart, now is not the time to deal with it." The lord should learn from Emperor Gaozu. ”

Lu Fan's words made Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong's hearts cold.

Learn from Emperor Gaozu?

Learn Emperor Gaozu's "Cunning rabbit dies, lackey cooks"?

Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong glanced at each other, and their faces were a little unsightly.

Zhu Zhi also felt very uncomfortable.

He and Lu Yi have been together for a long time.

Lu Yi has done a good job in all aspects.

Although you are the head of the Lu family, whether it is for officials, scholars, or ordinary people, it is beyond reproach.

It is precisely because of this that his brother-in-law and others are willing to be a little person in the Lu family.

Now, Lu Yi is thinking hard about the major general, but the major general and other cronies treat him like this.

Zhu Zhi lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Sun Ce again.

He was a little disappointed.

The Major General is not General Sun after all.

In terms of accommodating people, the major general is far behind.

When Sun Ce heard Lu Fan say this, he laughed and said, "Yes, it's my villain's heart!" I should learn from Emperor Gaozu to govern the world and embrace all rivers! ”

Poured a glass of spirits and held it high, Sun Ce said: "Everyone, what my Sun Ce said just now was all joking!" Lu Changshi is my brother-in-law and my Jiangdong talent, I still have to rely on him, how can I be afraid of him? Come, dry this drink, I wish us all the best this time! ”
