Guo Jia turned around and Sun Ce did not go back. He held his hands and paced back and forth beside the carriage, taking the opportunity to relax his tired body and mind.

In recent days, we have been too tired. Welcoming and seeing off is one aspect, and being tired is the key. In the great victory in Yanzhou, Dong Zhao surrendered, and a series of follow-up matters have to be handled. This is easy to say, but how to balance internally has become the most troublesome thing for him. Yan Xing, Chen Dao, and Wen Chou made great contributions, and there is no need to say much about the reward, but Zhu Huan and Lu Yi's reward caused a lot of criticism.

As expected, the leak of the drawings of the giant stone thrower became their biggest failure. Sun Ce also felt that this plan was a bit rash, but he knew better that the real intention of those who accused Zhu Huan and Lu Yi was not that, but did not want to see the Jiangdong people rise so rapidly. Zhu Ran, Zhu Huan and Lu Yi made their mark in just a few months, and the surge in the number of Jiangdong generals made many people feel threatened.

In the face of interests, no one will remain silent. They always have to show it, but the way of performance is different. Finally, they focus on the next step of the main attack direction selection. Some people suggest that Yizhou, Zhou Yu, and Huang Zhong have already gone deep into the north and south of Yizhou. They should increase their troops, strengthen their offensives, and take over Yizhou in one go. Some people suggest that Youji first, with Taishi Ci and Dong Xi responsible for the main attack, Gan Ning and Bu Zhi cooperate. Some even suggest that Guanzhong first take advantage of the situation, cut off the connection between Yizhou and Youji, and then defeat them one by one.

Each plan has some truth, but each plan has obvious selfish intentions. The offensive and defensive trend is different, and its strength is three times. If it is fully transferred to the offensive, the force will need to be at least quadrupled, and the cost will increase exponentially. Even if Jiangdong develops well, it cannot withstand such consumption. It is neither necessary to be strong and fishing in the pond, nor is it considered by him.

Of course, those who propose plans will not think so, and it is not life or death. No one is willing to put all their manpower and material resources into the battlefield. All they are fighting for is the opportunity to go out, hoping that they will become the main attack direction and gain the first-mover advantage in order to lock in wealth in advance.

People are selfish, and they never have too many extravagant expectations for human nature. But when things come, they still have to worry about how to balance the interests of different factions. No plan can satisfy everyone, and how to choose becomes a touchstone for considering his political wisdom. Sometimes, thinking about it, it is still a simple Legalist, arbitrary, and a word is so good.

Unfortunately, they can only be happy for a while, but not for a lifetime. Most of the heroes of the One Word Nine-Dao tripod failed to escape the backlash of power. The fast retribution in the world and the slow retribution in the future. Politics is a compromise, the art of walking tightropes, which is Sun Ce’s deepest understanding at this moment.

"King." Liu He walked over, bowed to write, his eyes were red, his nose muttered, and his voice was a little dull. Xun Yu and his son stood behind her, feeling a little depressed, and Xun Yun looked stubborn, as if he had just been criticized.

"it's over?"

"It's over. I'm very ashamed of the King."

"Okay, as long as you're fine. Get in the car, go back to Gepi, and have a good rest for a few days."

"Here." Liu He responded and turned around to the carriage. Sun Ce was following him. Xun Yu took a step forward and whispered: "King stay."

Sun Ce looked at Xun Yu in surprise. After Liu Xie's death, Xun Yu was in a low mood. Except for the funeral, he did not take the initiative to talk to him. What happened today? Liu Xie took over and was relieved, and he was also relieved?

"What advice does Mr. Xun have?"

"Yu asked a wise man. Fengxiao came in a hurry and left in a hurry. Is it related to Guanzhong?"

Sun Ce hesitated for a moment, nodded, responded "Yes", but did not say the specific content. Xun Yu looked a little embarrassed when he saw it. "Shu Yu took the liberty, the emperor was defeated, Liu Ye did not return, and the inner court was almost paralyzed. I am afraid that someone would take advantage of the situation. If the king believed in Yu, Yu would ask him to go back to Chang'an to preside over the overall situation."

Sun Ce glanced at Xun Yu, thought for a while, and slighted the corner of his mouth. "I wonder how Xun Jun plans to take charge of the overall situation?"

"Yu came to see the king as the king to stop the war. Although he had not yet, the edict was still there. If the king had any intention, he might as well continue. Or he could accept the emperor's will and avoid a war."

Sun Ce looked at Xun Yu for a while and was moved. He thought for a while, but still shook his head. "Thank you for your kindness, but now that's it, you can't solve the problem even if you go back to Guanzhong. Instead, your life may be ruined in vain."

"If Xun Yiren's life and death can be exchanged for peace in Guanzhong..."

"You can't change to the peace in Guanzhong." Sun Ce said bluntly: "Mr. Xun, if Liu Ziyang returns to Guanzhong, he might have some chance of winning. You are good at politics, and this kind of close-killing things are not your best, and it is useless to go. Besides, I have a better choice, so Mr. Xun lives here with peace of mind. When Ah He is in a better mood, you will consider studying or going to politics. There are many things you can do, but it is not the case to go back to Guanzhong."

Xun Yu was speechless. Seeing that Sun Ce was determined, he had to nod and agree.

——

Sun Ce leaned against the car wall and looked at Yuan Yao who was embarrassed opposite him, smiling.

Yuan Yao was uneasy and sat upright, stirring his hands together, lowering his head, looking at his toes.

"Why did you get the wrong thing?" Sun Ce said slowly: "If your sister knows this, what will happen?"

"I know." Yuan Yao raised his head, his face flushed. "Sister... brother-in-law, you... help me."

"What do you like her? Good-looking or a good background? It's not because of her good martial arts skills, right? You didn't even like so many good girls in Yulinwei, but you just liked her? Why, I'm so happy to be scolded by her? The one who scolded her is much crueler than her."

Yuan Yao's forehead was covered in sweat. Sun Ce said, and he nodded. He knew better than Sun Ce than Sun Ce. "I know it's difficult, so I asked my brother-in-law for help. Now the only one who can help me is."

"What are you going to ask me to help?" Sun Ce poured a cup of hot water, took a sip, moistened his throat, and signaled Yuan Yao to take care of himself. Yuan Yao also poured a cup, held it in his hand, and stopped talking a few times. Finally, he said: "Although Lu Bu is dead, Zhang Liao is still there, and there are still some remaining troops of the Bingzhou Army in Guanzhong. If his brother-in-law is willing to come forward and order me to marry Lu Xiaohuan on the grounds of winning over Zhang Liao and Bingzhou Army, he may be able to..."

"You are so wise. Zhang Liao surrendered in defeat. Even if I can use him, I will win him over and let you marry..." Sun Ce was stunned and suddenly reacted. "What did you say just now, marry?"

Yuan Yao nodded like a pecking rice. "Yes, I want to marry her."

Sun Ce knocked on the wall of the car, signaled the driver to stop, opened the car door, and pointed his hand. "Get out!"

Yuan Yao was stunned. "Sister...brother-in-law..."

"Do you go? If you don't go, I'll rush you." Sun Ce raised his hand and glared at him. Seeing this, Yuan Yao didn't dare to say anything again. He hugged his head and got out of the car in shame. Sun Ce closed the car door and signaled to set off again. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the world was too chaotic. Yuan Yao, who had always been obedient, was making a monster this time? He actually wanted to divorce Xie Xianying and marry Lu Xiaohuan?

The more Sun Ce thought about it, the more incredible he felt, and doubted whether he had traveled through time again. What kind of slutty is this? Even if his father Yuan Shu was reborn, he might not be able to do such a thing. If Yuan Quan knew about it, he would not know what he would scold Yuan Yao.

Halfway through the way, Wu Qiuxing rushed over, got into the car, and sat opposite Sun Ce in a regular manner. Sun Ce poured a glass of water and pushed it in front of Wu Qiuxing. Wu Qiuxing was flattered, held the water cup and thanked him repeatedly. Sun Ce told him a few gossips, asked about the situation at his family, and was also very happy to learn that his wife and children had arrived in Dingtao safely.

When it comes to military talent, Wuqiu Jian is much stronger than Wuqiu Xing.

"What do you think of Jia Wen and this person?" Sun Ce got straight to the point and went straight to the point.

Wu Qiuxing's eyes were a little complicated. He took a sip of water and pondered for a long time. "It is unfathomable and elusive."

"Tell me carefully."

"Yes. I followed Mr. Wenhe to study. Mr. Duomeng was very grateful to me for his guidance on how to deal with people and use military forces. After being ordered to come to the emperor, I would discuss with Liu Ziyang. I often feel that what I learned before was lacking and seemed to be awkward."

Sun Ce smiled. "Do you think Jia Wenhe has some reservations?"

"I dare not do this." Wu Qiu Xing smiled and said, "The Master said that if you are not angry, you will not be enlightened, and if you are not frustrated, you will not be expressed. If you take a corner and do not rebel against three corners, you will not be able to return. I think I lack talent and cannot complete my teacher's teachings. It is useless to say more. The teacher planted the seeds, but I was completely unaware that I could only understand with the right opportunity."

"What you said makes sense." Sun Ce thought. "Although Jia Wenhe was a Confucian scholar, he had a Taoist style in his behavior. He followed the trend and took advantage of the situation and used three-point force at critical moments to turn the world around. Those who knew the wonderful things were like drinking mellow wine and savoring them in their hearts. Those who did not know the wonderful things were completely unaware of them and thought they were incompetent."

"What the King said is very much." Wu Qiu Xing's eyes lit up and said, "The King is really Mr. Wenhe's soulmate. When Mr. Wenhe mentioned the King, he praised him and admired him beyond words."

"Yeah?"

"I remember once when I asked about the meeting with the king, Mr. He rarely had the interest to explain the king's new policy to me. He said that although the king did not read, he could point directly to the root of the truth. Those who would always break it must be a wise man. Ordinary people bowed to the saints and regarded the scriptures as the criterion, and did not dare to step beyond the thunder. Only the king was comparable to the saints, understood the original intention of the saints, and were not confused by the words. Just as Zhang Liang talked about military tactics for Emperor Gaozu, and he could understand it with one word. This was a heavenly teaching, and it was not accessible to the learning."

Sun Ce laughed. "Jia Wenhe is better than Emperor Gaozu? I'm afraid it's not."

Wu Qiuxing was a little embarrassed and bowed: "The king is wise and can be deceived by ordinary people. Mr. Wenhe said at that time that the king was learning swords and military tactics, but he said that the king was not a enemy of ten thousand people, but an invincible world."

"The world is invincible?" Sun Ce disagreed. He communicated with Wu Qiuxing to understand Jia Xu's thoughts, not to listen to Wu Qiuxing's praise.

Wu Qiuxing was very serious and bowed again. "Mr. Wenhe said that the king has great benevolence in his heart, can practice the king's way, turn enemies into friends, and use the wisdom of everyone, so the world is invincible."
