Chapter 1727 Before the war
Mrs. Tang saw the emperor away, prepared the meal, and came to ask Xun Yu to have dinner. Seeing Xun Yu sitting in a daze, she stretched out her bare hands and shook it in front of Xun Yu. Xun Yu was shocked and came back to his senses. Only then did he realize that the emperor had left.
Mrs. Tang said angrily: "What are you thinking?"
Xun Yu repeated what the emperor said just now. Mrs. Tang thought about it for a long time, but she still couldn't figure out what the tea would be. "Are you too concerned?"
"Maybe." Xun Yu smiled bitterly: "But with my experience over the past few years, many of what Sun Ce did seem meaningless at the beginning. When we understand, it will be a little too late to catch up, so I have to think more, otherwise..." He sighed and did not continue, but there was a little helplessness in his eyes. After a while, he said quietly: "I don't know what the eldest princess is now."
"You don't have to worry about her." Mrs. Tang lowered her head and said lightly: "Even if Sun Ce neglects her, can she be more excessive than Yuan Shao and Dong Zhuo? Don't worry, this child has suffered since he was a child and has a stronger tolerance than ordinary people. Besides, she is self-aware and will not cause trouble on his own initiative."
Xun Yu didn't say anything. He knew that Mrs. Tang had resentment and blamed him for not surrendering to the old ministers, insisting on using Danyang County as the eldest princess to provoke Sun Ce for nothing. In fact, they could not shake Sun Ce, and would only cause trouble for their own people. After hearing this suggestion, the emperor was furious and almost issued an edict to kill people. He forced his advice.
After receiving tax surpluses from the five states, the arms and food in Nanyang were in place. If nothing unexpected happens, Cao Cao should have summoned people and food and grass to set off. At the end of June and early July, it is only August later. The emperor will fight westward. Finally, it is easy to obtain a unified opinion from all parties and cannot create problems at this time. If the emperor can return victoriously and the Liangzhou family has made contributions, these old ministers will have nothing to say. If the emperor is defeated... there is nothing to say.
When Xun Yu thought of the war after the autumn, he became even more uneasy. Without the restraint of Youzhou, whether Yuan Tan would bow his head was not at all. He was not worried that Yuan Tan would be unfavorable to the court, but he was worried that Jizhou would not give money and food, and the emperor would be able to support him for a shorter time. A 100,000 army is worth a thousand gold a day, and the court has only such a small family background now. He can win but not lose. Once he is defeated, he will never have a second chance.
Whether the great man can revive, success or failure is here. In the face of this, what is the point of whether the eldest princess will suffer some grievance? Compared to those royal women who married the leader of the Qianghu tribe and would spend the rest of their lives in the snow and ice in the future, what's the point of suffering some grievance? If they can help the emperor, it's worth sacrificing her.
Too many people have sacrificed for the sake of the great man in recent years.
Xun Yu thought so, but his nose was sore and there was a little fog in his eyes. He picked up the cold tea and covered his face. Mrs. Tang saw it clearly, but she didn't say it out loud. She picked up the snacks on the desk and turned around and said, "Since your Majesty has agreed, you can go again tomorrow morning. Stay at home for the whole night, let's talk."
"No, you can go a little late, you still have to go. Your Majesty is about to go to war, and there are many things to do in the palace."
Xun Yu stood up, followed Mrs. Tang out of the door, and came to the hall. The bowls and chopsticks were already arranged, Xun Yu took the seat, and Mrs. Tang also sat down. She was pregnant and was slow to move. Xun Yu looked at her sitting down and suddenly said, "Guru Fu is pregnant, too. You go and see her in two days. This may... it is Your Majesty's eldest son, so you can't be careless."
"I understand." Mrs. Tang responded. "It's strange to say that, why did Concubine Lu keep moving? She is the best in her body."
Xun Yu sighed, and after a while, he sighed again. Mrs. Tang gave her a blank look. "You are just thinking too much. What's there to worry about? There are so many women in the palace recently, and there are always a few who will get pregnant. The emperor is still young, so there is no need to be so anxious."
"Madam is right." Xun Yu forced to laugh and lower his head to eat. But Mrs. Tang held the chopsticks and wanted to speak but stopped. Xun Yu buried his head in eating, without paying attention.
At the end of April, Sun Ce arrived in Qu County.
Mi Zhu, who had just returned from Youzhou, was in charge of the command. Mi Fang, who had just been transferred back from Nanyang, arranged for the front and back. Mi Lan, who had rushed home in advance, sat in the backyard without any care, lived a lazy life of food and clothes, and the most important task every day was to stay happy.
After entering the Sun Family Ancestral Hall, she became pregnant in the first month of the year, and seemed to be destined to be destined. Mi Lan secretly was secretly happy. This time, Sun Ce went home to visit relatives, and returned to her hometown early. Looking at the mountains and rivers of her hometown, eating the food she used to eating since childhood, she was served by the servants she served since childhood. She was as sweet as drinking honey. Mi Zhu and Mi Fang also received the news and rushed back to her hometown. The family was reunited and she was in a good mood. She would laugh out loud even when she was sleeping.
Gan Ning also received an order and rushed back to escort. He arrived a few days in advance to meet Sun Ce. In the past two years, he has been very busy in Bohai, but he has not made much military achievements. Last year, he received Sun Ce's order to help him in the river, but was stopped by Yuan Xi and missed a great opportunity to intercept Yuan Shao. He was very upset. After meeting, he immediately apologized.
Sun Ce laughed. "Xingba, don't worry, there are many opportunities to make contributions. How about it? What have you gained in the past two years? Are you familiar with this section of the sea? I still expect you to escort it."
Gan Ning's chest slapped loudly. "General, don't worry, general, from here to Youzhou, all the coasts and islands, I can't make mistakes with my eyes closed. With the chart, I dare say that those fishermen who have been fishing for life are not as familiar with me."
"Reading is still useful, right?"
Gan Ning nodded repeatedly, so happy that he couldn't stop his ears, but his eyes were dodging. "It's good, it's just too wide."
"Isn't it just that you don't let you kill someone? Why are you lenient?" Sun Ce smiled. "This is my care. Xingba, you are now the governor of the navy, not a pirate. You have to protect the people and not kill innocent people indiscriminately."
"I understand, I understand." Gan Ning said repeatedly, "So I didn't kill me, I'll endure it, I'll go to Liaodong to kill." While saying that, he looked at Sun Ce, afraid that Sun Ce would shake his head. Not long ago, he received news that the Xia Pi Wei Lin Yu had destroyed the Xia Pi Chen family due to improper command, and was fined for one year's salary. The entire army reported criticism. A year's salary was a small matter, and there was no problem with the entire army reporting, but if he lost the opportunity to go to Youzhou, he would lose a big loss.
"It's just for Liaodong. You have been in Bohai for so many years. What do you think of these people? If you want to take Youzhou, how can you start?"
