Zhang Hong does not fully agree with Guo Jia's suggestions, but he also believes that he should be prepared for any trouble.

Most people are less rational and more irrational. The emperor is young and a group of young and strong people who are eager to make contributions are gathered around them. The possibility of making irrational choices is not non-existent, but on the contrary, it is very high. Although Xun Yu is aware of the general principles, he is also a human being after all. In the face of that kind of environment, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not have the intention to take a risk. There are still some possibility that the court will make impulsive decisions.

Sun Ce decided to make two preparations: one was to respond to the imperial edict of the court and select some soldiers to the capital to garrison. He estimated that the court would not really agree, but even if the court agreed, it was not a bad thing. These forces were left to Yang Xiu to command, so that Yang Xiu could at least have someone to use them; the other was to move to Chaisang. Considering that the biggest threat to Jingzhou was Cao Cao, moving to Chaisang could react quickly. Even if Cao Cao did not send troops, he could free up Zhou Yu to pay attention to Jiangnan.

After the preliminary determination, Sun Ce quickly held a meeting to discuss the plan. At the meeting, their monarch and ministers not only passed the plan, made arrangements for the relevant affairs during their relocation to Chaisang, but also made another decision: to change Moling to Jianye, and to move the five counties of Hushu, Jiangcheng, Jurong, Danyang and Shicheng to the south, and the original jurisdictions were all merged into the capital, thinking that they were the royal capital.

Moling was originally named Jinling. Qin Shihuang was the kingly spirit of Jinling. He not only dug up the mountains, but also changed Jinling to Moling. Moling is the forage for feeding horses and is a cheap thing. Using this name means being disgusting. Now that Sun Ce is founded here, it is not advisable to use such an ugly name. It is more appropriate to change it to Jianye.

Jianye is the great cause of Jiansun family.

In addition to changing Moling to Jianye, Yu Fan formally determined the name of the palace: Taichu. Taichu, also known as Taichu, means the beginning of all things. The Emperor of Chang'an lives in the Weiyang Palace, and there is hope that the Han Dynasty will continue the Weiyang Palace. Sun Ce's establishment of Taichu Palace is also considered a tit-for-tat confrontation.

In mid-April, Sun Ce set off for Chaisang. The plan was left by Yu Fan, and Prime Minister Zhang Hong followed him.

The tower ship docked, Zhou Yu quickly got off the boat, and Xun You followed closely behind.

Guo Jia stood at the dock and greeted him. "Governor, Gongda."

Zhou Yu bowed and returned the gift. "Where is the king?"

Guo Jia turned around and pointed to the academy looming on the hillside. Zhou Yu understood and walked forward quickly. Xun You stayed behind and walked side by side with Guo Jia. Guo Jia shook his feather fan and said slowly: "Gongda, have you contacted Wen Ruo recently?"

Xun You shook his head. "I haven't contacted for a while."

"This is something wrong."

Xun You sighed lightly: "I think so too. He may be afraid of flaws between the lines, so he simply stopped writing. This was the case when he was in Yecheng."

"Based on what you know about him, what do you think he will do?"

Xun You turned his head and stared at Guo Jia for a moment, shook his head. "Fengxiao, I have a word, which may be a bit harsh."

Guo Jia laughed. "It's okay, just say it. It's no small matter to make you Xun Gongda so serious."

Xun You raised a smile on his lips and immediately stopped. "With filial piety, Ruying people are everywhere in the world, and except for Bingzhou, there are almost all parties. This is an advantage and a disadvantage."

Guo Jia's eyes flashed slightly, he put away his smile, put his hands behind his back, and patted his back with a feather fan.

Xun You was not too slow. "Although the victory or defeat is not yet determined, the Wu Kingdom has its specifications and factions have been revealed. My Ruying clan seems to be crowded with people, but in fact the advantages are not obvious, especially around the king. There are Zhang Xiang, Zhuge Liang, Yu Xiang, Lu Yue, Jingzhou, Pang Tong, and who is the Ruying clan in addition to you, who can compete with them?"

Guo Jia said: "Gongda, what I did wrong? It's okay for you to say it straightforwardly."

"There are Qizheng soldiers, do you think the king Shangqi or Shangzheng?"

Guo Jia pondered for a moment, slightly slight. "Thank you, Gongda, for reminding me, I will pay attention."

Xun You nodded. "The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. This is true for the king, and the same is true for my Ru Ying faction. You have to be cautious when you win the trust of the king. You should also do your best to give advice to the king. Today's king is not the general who fought against rebellion in the past, and today's Wu Kingdom is not the Yuzhou of the day. Feng Xiao should change according to the times and do not stick to the old tricks. The situation reverses, Chang'an has become a hundred feet of insects. Feng Xiao doesn't have to care what they will do. As long as you know what they can do, you can resolve it one by one, so that they can't do it, and naturally win every battle."

Guo Jia nodded repeatedly. "Gongda, you should see more thoroughly. After making contributions this time, you should also work with the King of Wu."

Xun You shook his head. "You think about Zhong Yuanchang, he is more suitable than me. Guanzhong is already a dead end, so it's boring for him to stay there."

Guo Jia thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Zhou Yu walked into the academy and saw Sun Ce standing in the corridor at a glance. He quickly walked to Sun Ce's front door and bowed his hand. Just as he was about to speak, Sun Ce shook his hand and signaled him not to speak, and pointed to the lecture hall again. Zhou Yu went up the steps, stood behind Sun Ce, stretched his neck, and looked into the lecture hall. He saw that in the bright and clean lecture hall, there were thirty and forty and a half-old child sitting in a group, including men and women, surrounding an old man with gray hair and a girl with bright eyes and white teeth. The girl stood opposite the old man and talked, but the old man was a little embarrassed and his face turned red.

Zhou Yu listened for a while and they said it seemed to be "Mencius", and they were fighting for the debate between righteousness and profit. The teacher insisted that the word "righteousness is the first, while the girl believed that the word "righteousness is the first. Her reason was that if the county school did not reduce the tuition fee, she would not afford to go to school. If the county school did not pay the teacher's salary, the teacher would not teach them to study for free. Although she was young, her words were sharp, which made the teacher speechless, and she was a little angry and embarrassed.

"Whose child is this?"

"I don't know either." Sun Ce smiled and signaled Zhou Yu to speak aside. "I have lived in Bailu Academy for a few days and have become accustomed to it. Not every gentleman convinces the students like Cai. Gongjin, are you ready, and once you go to war, you don't know when you will be back. Should you let Cai accompany the army to avoid loneliness in your army?"

Zhou Yu smiled and shook his head. "She has just given birth to a child, so it's not advisable to travel far. Let her live in Xiangyang for a while."

Sun Ce laughed. Cai Yan had just given birth to a son for Zhou Yu a hundred days ago. A hundred days later, Cai Yong was named Xun. Zhou Yu's parents said that the child looked exactly the same as Zhou Yu in childhood, and was extremely happy.

"Then take a concubine. If there is no one to take care of her, it will be inconvenient."

"Thank you for your concern, I don't have this plan yet." Zhou Yu was afraid that Sun Ce would persuade him again, so he immediately changed the topic. "Will this time the troops be sent to test or take the initiative?"

"What do you think?"

"I think I should use calmness to control my movements."

As Sun Ce walked, he signaled Zhou Yu to continue. The two left the lecture hall and came to the upper floor next to it. Bailu Academy was originally built by Yang Xiu for Yang Biao, and specially built a tall building so that Yang Biao could climb high and see the scenery of the lake and mountains. Now Yang Biao was writing books in Taihu Lake, and Yang Xiu himself left Yuzhang and went to Chang'an. The tall building became much deserted. Sun Ce and Zhou Yu climbed up the building and looked at Penglize from afar. His vision was wide and he even became cheerful.

Zhou Yu explained his reasons.

When the Wu Kingdom was first established, there were many public opinion. There were many people who were unfavorable to Sun Ce, especially in Jiangnan. Du Ji strengthened supervision and cracked down on many families that occupied military farms, which also caused a lot of resistance. The court did not have obvious unethical behavior, and the two sides were still in the stage of literary battles. Sun Ce should not take the initiative to provoke war and give people a handle. However, this situation will not last long, and the court will sooner or later unable to hold back and cause trouble. The people are tired of war, and when the public opinion deviates, they will fight back, and the effect will be better.

"Cao Cao sent Wu Yi to attack Xiangyang before, and sent Xi Zhicai to Jiaozhou to help. Isn't this enough?"

"The scale of Wu Yi's war against Xiangyang was limited, and it could not affect Xiangyang County, and it had nothing to do with the people in Jiangnan. Xi Zhicai entered Jiaozhou, and it was also speculated that ordinary people did not know it, and it was not enough to be a basis. The people were ignorant and only cared about the stability in front of them, and could not see that far. Most of the people who were farming in Jiangnan came from the Central Plains. After experiencing the Yellow Turban Rebellion, they were tired of war. As long as they did not involve their own interests, they would not usually care. Only when Cao Cao's troops were in the forefront, they might lose their land and be displaced, could they realize the danger and fight back."

"It's just that, you'll have to wait for a while. Even if you can hold it, your subordinates can't hold it?"

Zhou Yu smiled. "This is easy to deal with, just don't let them be idle. Since the king is here, why not hold a review to let them see the elites under the king's command, kill them with arrogance, and calm down to train."

Sun Strategy thought about it and agreed with Zhou Yu's suggestion. "It's good. Hold a review to see the status of the generals, and then knock on the mountain and the tigers to see what Cao Cao reacted." He thought for a while and said, "Do you have a plan? Let's listen."

"Here." Zhou Yu happily obeyed the order and told him about the plan he and Xun You.

Jiangling guards the middle stream of the Yangtze River, and the Three Gorges are not far west. If you go up the Yangtze River, the navy will definitely be a heavy weapon. Wu is backed by the sea and the navy has obvious advantages. From the perspective of Cao Cao, once the navy of Wu gathers in Jiangling, it means that war will break out at any time, and heavy troops will inevitably be sent to gather in the area of ​​Jianguan.

In fact, even if the Wu navy is very powerful, it is difficult to go upstream. The best way to attack Yizhou is to go to Hanzhong. Attract Cao Cao's attention to the area of ​​Jianguan, take advantage of the opportunity to enter and seize Hanzhong, which is the best choice. Before this, they had prepared more than a year for the Hanzhong strategy, and the food and weapons were all ready, the map was drawn, and the soldiers had conducted more than a year of mountain war training and could send troops at any time.

Compared to sending troops from Jiangling and going upstream, attacking Hanzhong has another advantage: Ma Teng is in Wudu, and he can restrain Wu Yi's attention and cooperate with the main force in Xiangyang.

Sun Ce was very surprised. Zhou Yu was the governor of Jiangling, and his jurisdiction was mainly in Jiangnan, and Xiangyang was no longer in his jurisdiction. If the Hanzhong strategy continued to be implemented, the main force would not be him, but Huang Zhong, Xu Huang, and even Xu Shu from Wuguan had the opportunity to make contributions, but Zhou Yu was in vain.

Then why did Zhou Yu and Xun You design this plan for the purpose of showing their integrity?
