Facing the invitation sent by Zhou Yu, Lu Su was very moved.

Jiangdong Xiaobawang Sun Ce is now famous all over the world, and he is a peerless general; And he is different from ordinary fierce generals, he not only has the talent to lead troops to fight, but also has the wisdom of knowing how to make good use of people and being generous, and he has a good reputation among the people.

With Zhou Yu as a recommendation, coupled with his own talent, defecting to Sun Ce may not be a good way out.

Zhou Yu saw that Lu Su was a little moved, so he continued to persuade him: "Zijing, you have the talent to manage Bao, and it is really a waste to condescend to a small nest. ”

"Now is a troubled time, and troubled times will produce heroes. My brother Sun Ce has the world in mind, both civil and military, and is a hero among people, far superior to Yuan Shu and others. ”

"If you and I are assisted, then the hegemony can be profitable, and you and I can also go down in history!"

Going down in history is the lifelong pursuit of all literati.

Even Lu Su is no exception.

Hearing these words, and feeling Zhou Yu's fiery and sincere gaze again, the last trace of hesitation in Lu Su's heart finally disappeared, his eyes became firm, and he tightly held Zhou Yu's outstretched right hand.

"That's ...... Strive for hegemony with you! ”

……

Just when Lu Su and Zhou Yu were discussing going to Jiangdong to defect to Sun Ce, Sun Ce, who was far away in Huiji County, also received the news that Yuan Shu was proclaimed emperor.

Huiji County, Taishou Mansion.

A tall, resolute-looking, heroic young man couldn't help but sigh after reading the secret report in his hand that recorded Yuan Shu's claim to be emperor.

"This idiot is still the emperor."

This young man is Sun Ce, who is known as the little overlord.

Since Wang Lang was defeated, he officially entered the Huiji, and he understood that the Ji Taishou was set up, and Luling County was set up, and the two counties of Danyang and Yuzhang were called the four counties of Jiangdong.

Now nearly half of the entire Yangzhou has fallen under his control.

There were also several people standing in the hall, namely Zhang Zhao from Pengcheng, Zhang Hong from Guangling, as well as Qin Song and Chen Duan, all of whom were strategists under Sun Ce.

After hearing Sun Ce's words, they all showed surprise.

Chen Duan couldn't help frowning and asked, "But General, didn't you already write to him, and he didn't even listen to your advice?" ”

Yan Xiang wrote a letter before, hoping that Sun Ce could write a letter to advise Yuan Shu.

Sun Ce told them about this, and after discussing it together, they all felt that the fact of being called emperor was stupid, so he gave a clear reply.

As long as Yuan Shu dares to be the emperor, he will immediately break with it!

But who knew that today there was still news that Yuan Shu was called emperor.

"What is my exhortation?"

Sun Ce was not surprised by this, and said with a smile: "How many people can resist the temptation of the Son of Heaven?" ”

In fact, he was already mentally prepared.

Now he just felt sorry.

If Yuan Shu is not the emperor, he can still use Yuan Shu's resources and reputation to continue to develop and slowly accumulate strength; But now that Yuan Shu is the emperor, he must break with him.

Otherwise, he will face a joint crusade from all the princes!

Only Yuan Shu can't figure it out, he won't be so stupid and accompany Yuan Shu to his death.

"But the jade seal of the country should have belonged to the general, but it was seized by Yuan Shu, which is really hateful."

Qin Song was a little resentful.

The jade seal was originally in the hands of Sun Ce's mother, Mrs. Wu, but after Sun Jian's death, Yuan Shu took the jade seal from her.

"Wenbiao, don't talk nonsense!"

As soon as Qin Song's words fell, Sun Ce immediately opened his mouth and scolded, his expression was very serious, "The jade seal of the country is the important weapon of the country, what virtue can I live in?" ”

"When my father got the jade seal, he just wanted to keep it on his behalf and hand it over to the Son of Heaven in the future, and he never thought of monopolizing it, and this kind of thing must not be said again in the future."

You must know that the jade seal of the country can only belong to the Son of Heaven, and wanting to possess the jade seal is equivalent to saying that you want to be the emperor! Where did Sun Ce dare to admit this?

It's just a heart-wrenching statement!

Knowing that he was speechless, Qin Song showed embarrassment on his face and was silent.

At this time, Zhang Zhao asked: "General, since Yuan Shu has been proclaimed emperor, now should we hold our troops and not move our troops first, or send troops to fight?" ”

Sun Ce was a general who had been canonized and was a courtier of the Han Dynasty; And Yuan Shu is the emperor, that is the rebel thief!

As a Hanchen, where is there a reason not to crusade against thieves?

Sun Ce shook his head and said, "Let's announce to the outside world that we will break with Yuan Shu and draw a clear line; As for the dispatch of troops, let's first see how Cao Cao and Yuan Shao acted. ”

"They didn't move, so why should I be the first bird to do first?"

Sun Ce is not afraid of Yuan Shu, but he also doesn't want to be used as a gun by others, and now he has seen all kinds of tricks, and he is no longer the stunned young man he was a few years ago.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of a figure in his heart, that is, his good brother Zhou Yu.

"It would be good if Gong Jin was here, with him to give me advice, I just need to lead the troops to fight, and I don't need to think about these at all."

"I don't know when he will be able to return to Jiangdong."

Sun Ce really wanted to go to Juchao in person and bring back his good brother, but now the affairs are really busy, so he can only wait and talk.

……

Yingchuan, Xu County.

Cao Cao has been in a very bad mood recently, or he has not been in a good mood since Yuan Shao told the world that the Son of Heaven was in Jizhou.

Originally, according to his original plan, as long as he had the Son of Heaven in hand, he would be able to recruit talents, win over all forces, and greatly improve his strength.

But the results were not at all what he expected.

Many people are willing to believe the lies of Yuan Shao, who was born illustriously and famous all over the world, but they are not willing to believe that he really has the Son of Heaven in his hands.

No matter how much he tried to prove himself, it was of little avail.

In this case, the virtuous people who responded to the call of the Son of Heaven to come to him are only three or two big cats and kittens, and there are no outstanding talents at all, and more people are still waiting.

"Abominable Yuan Shao!"

As soon as he thought of this, Cao Cao hated it in his heart.

He looked at the table full of sumptuous food in front of him, but he couldn't eat half of it, and walked out of the room with a gloomy face.

Spring is coming, and everything is growing.

It's still a little cold at the moment, but the wind already has a hint of spring, and a light rain is falling in the sky.

Cao Cao sniffed the fresh air, and suddenly felt that his depressed mood had calmed down a lot, and his face had eased a little.

"What's going on on Yuan Shao's side lately?"

Hearing this, Xu Chu, who was standing behind Cao Cao, replied: "Back to the lord, Yuan Shao's army has arrived in Qingzhou, and now it is heading straight to Xuzhou. ”

The two generals under Yuan Shao, Yan Liangwen and Chou, also sent a full 50,000 troops, of course, such a movement could not be hidden from others, and Cao Cao received the news as soon as possible.

At first, he thought that Yuan Shao was going to attack Yanzhou, and he was so frightened that he was about to gather a large army to meet him, but he soon realized that he had misunderstood.

Because this army did not kill Yanzhou, but went straight to Xuzhou.

The most important thing is that there are still three people in this army, Liu Guan and Zhang!
