Taishici's good news made the entire military plan boil.

Liaodong was pacified and three counties were pacified. Liu Bei and Yuan Tan were still confronting each other in Zhuo County. The Youzhou strategy achieved a nearly perfect result. They were finally able to go home, receive rewards, and have a happy and peaceful New Year.

Meng Jian and Sun Shao were selected as counselors to assist Taishi Ci, packing their luggage and preparing to set off. Sun Shao's courtesy name was Zixu, a native of Beihai, Qingzhou, and a good friend of Sun Gan. Originally under Shen You's command, he was transferred to the Military Scheme Office and performed well, especially in government management. He was friends with Taishi Ci, and asked him to assist Taishi Ci was also a make up for Taishi Ci's shortcomings in government management, and also boosted the morale of Qingzhou people.

Sun Ce discussed with Shen You again and transferred his general Teng Dan to take over as the prefect of Liaoxi, sharing part of the pressure for Taishi Ci. Although there were not many household registrations in western Liaoning, it was an important link in contacting the vassal states of Youbeiping and Liaodong. The important road between the eastern and western Youzhou needs to be handed over to a capable and trustworthy person. Teng Dan worked for Shen You when Shen You entered Qingzhou. In the past two years, he has made many contributions to the war with Shen You, and it is time to promote it.

Most personnel adjustments were prepared before, but now they are only announced. Despite this, the people who were promoted were still very excited. The colleagues celebrated each other and arranged for implementation. The wine shops in Dashi City were almost full, and people gathered to drink every day.

Gongsun Du soon received the news. He learned that Taishici had won a great victory and defeated the 70,000 troops of the Xianbei in the Eastern Region with more than 10,000 troops. Taishici once went to Liaodong to take refuge, but he did not like Taishici. Now Taishici became famous in battle and became the governor of the Eastern Theater Command in Youzhou, but he was defeated. It was really embarrassing.

Two days later, Sun Ce sent someone to summon Gongsun Du to the meeting to discuss the issue of Wuhuan people's naturalization. After receiving the order, Gongsun Du hesitated for a long time. He couldn't go, but was worried that Sun Ce was unhappy, so he had to reluctantly come to the water camp and board Sun Ce's ship.

The conference room was filled with people, and the familiar greetings were greeting each other, and the atmosphere was warm. Gongsun Du stood at the door, thinking about whether to find a corner to stay so that no one could pay attention. Zhuge Liang quickly came up and bowed his hand.

"General, the Lord is waiting for you."

Gongsun Du was stunned for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief, and followed Zhuge Liang to the main cabin. Sun Ce was talking to Tian Chou. Gongsun Du didn't know Tian Chou and didn't take it seriously, so he bowed to Sun Ce. Sun Ce returned the greeting and signaled Gongsun Du to take his seat.

"Shengji, this is Tianchou Tian Zitai, the governor of Youzhou, who is now assisting Taishi Ziyi in the battle."

Gongsun Du had just sat down. When he heard Tian Chou's name, he was startled. He turned to look at Tian Chou and looked at him carefully. "Are you Tian Chou Tian Zitai from Youbeiping?"

Tian Chou nodded with a smile. "It's right."

"Look for a long time, long time." Gongsun Du hurriedly gave a gift. Youzhou is located in a remote place with very few famous scholars, and Tian Chou is one of the few. Gongsun Du had never seen him, but had heard his name. But he knew that Tian Chou was not good at official career and was indifferent to fame and fortune, so he didn't go to invite him. He didn't expect to see Tian Chou here, and Tian Chou had become Tai Shi Ci's aide. In this way, it is understandable that Tai Shi Ci could make such a great achievement.

Tian Chou and Gongsun Du met with Li. He already knew about Gongsun Du’s defeat and surrender. He was not surprised to see Gongsun Du at this moment. The two of them took their seats again. Sun Ce explained that the theme of today’s meeting was mainly to discuss the inclusion of the Hu people in Senei under the jurisdiction of household registration.

Gongsun Du sighed. "I agree very much with what the king and the prince said. Whether it is the Wuhuan or the Xianbei, one should conquer and educate the other, and not be accommodated. Just say that the Wuhuan people, since the reign of Emperor Xiaowu, have been dependent on our dynasty for nearly three hundred years, and have been rebelling and submissive, and are still doing their own things and not accepting education. How can this be done? In my opinion, they are either enemies or subjects, and they cannot be neither."

Tian Chou couldn't help but retort: ​​"The general is so heroic, but it's a pity that knowing is easy but hard to do."

Gongsun Du laughed silently, but did not take Tian Chou's words. Sun Ce raised his hand and said with a smile: "Today is to discuss this topic. I will have the opportunity to express my views later. Don't be in a hurry. Zitai, go and have a look first and get familiar with the opponents in the debate?"

Thinking of the heroes of the Military Strategy Office next door, Tian Chou suddenly lost interest in Gongsun Du and readily followed the order. Zhuge Liang led Tian Chou to see Guo Jia and introduced the members of the Military Strategy Office.

Sun Ce looked at Gongsun Du with a smile. "Have you heard about Taishi Ziyi?"

Gongsun Du was very embarrassed. He could understand what Sun Ce meant. "The king and the lord knew people and were good at responsibilities, and could be called a wise ruler. The Grand Historian Ziyi was good at fighting and was enough to be a famous general."

Sun Ce laughed. "What about you, do you have the idea of ​​becoming a famous general?"

Gongsun Du pondered for a moment. "Although I can't come, my heart yearns for it."

"Can you arrive? Let's talk about it later. It is a good thing to be longed for. Youzhou has many races and complex situations. It is not enough to have Taishici alone. You, the general of Du Liao. To be honest, I don't quite understand why General Du Liao was far away from the Liao River before. Since he was General Du Liao, shouldn't he pass through the Liao River? What's the matter with hiding thousands of miles away?"

Gongsun Du couldn't help laughing. "I also feel that the words of the king and his subjects are polite, and I think the name is different, which is puzzling."

"I don't care about the past. From now on, I hope you can be a true general of Liao, first recover Xuantu's lost territory and defeat Goguryeo before saying that. Are you confident?"

Gongsun Du raised his head and looked directly at Sun Ce, and his eyebrows gradually rose. "If you have confidence, I will have confidence."

"That's good." Sun Ce patted his thigh. "When the son arrived, I might be going to set off. Before next autumn, I will prepare money, grain and weapons for you. Before that, Taishi Ci will transfer some weapons seized from the Xianbei people for you, and you can use them first. The food problem is more troublesome. He has collected tens of thousands of prisoners, but the food is not enough and cannot support you. So this year, it's still the main focus, and I'll talk about it next year."

Gongsun Du shook his head. "Judge just give me weapons, and I will find a way to get food."

"What's your solution?"

"Ratch." Gongsun Du did not think. "If you rob the Goguryeo people, you will destroy them anyway. There is no difference between starving to death or killing them."

Sun Ce thought for a moment. "You are most familiar with the situation here, so let's consider it, I won't interfere." He pinched his fingers and calculated. "When you arrive at the garrison, Taishi Ziyi can almost deliver the military equipment. I will arrange some military rations for you in case of emergency."

Gongsun Du bowed and bowed. "Thank you, marquis."

After Sun Ce finished his instructions, he came to the next meeting room with Gongsun Du. All the military planners attended, and Shen You also brought Pang Tong and others to attend. Several young men around Sun Ce were also there, and the originally generous meeting was full of people. Except for the people who needed records, everyone else found a place to sit on the ground or simply stood. Tian Chou sat together and talked with Guo Jia, his face was very calm, but there was a bit of worry between his eyebrows.

Sun Ce entered the seat and exchanged a wink with Guo Jia. Guo Jia clapped his hands and announced the start of the meeting.
Chapter completed!
