After talking to Yang Xiu, Zhang Yulan was already shocked. When she learned that someone had made a golden sound and a jade shaking appearance, she was even more moved and begged Yang Xiu to recommend it.

Yang Xiu responded half-super, and invited her to go to Luoyang together. Zhang Yulan preached all year round, and it was common for her to show up in public. Although Yang Xiu spoke fiercely, his behavior was etiquette and he was not reckless. He was also knowledgeable and very good at engaging in the atmosphere. Listening to him talking about the past and the present was also a great enjoyment. Zhang Yulan naturally refused to be disrespectful and accepted it with a smile.

Five days later, the two arrived at Mengjin Camp.

The war was imminent, and military camps were formed on the south bank of the Yellow River and to the northern foot of the Mang Mountain. Dozens of military camps were connected, echoing each other and being tightly barriers, so they were not allowed to move around casually. Yang Xiu placed Zhang Yulan in the inn in Ping County and ordered the attendants to take care of them and not let Zhang Yulan get lost. He went to see Sun Ce first.

Sun Ce was discussing the march to Hanoi with Sun Shangxiang and Lu Xun. Several people surrounded the sand table. You said, "I said, I was talking lively. When seeing Yang Xiu enter the tent, Sun Ce hooked his fingers without hesitation. Yang Xiu understood and stood quietly beside Sun Ce. Sun Shangxiang and others were a little surprised to see Yang Xiu, but they just nodded and did not stop.

This time when he marched into Hanoi, Sun Shangxiang was a general of the former army. With the cooperation of Xu Sheng's naval army, he would cross the river from Mengjin, directly into Wenxian County, Yewang, seize Bicheng, and prepare to capture Tianjing Pass. Lu Fan was on the left wing, crossing the river from Xiaopingjin, and entering the Qinshui River. Zhu Huan led his troops to the right wing, crossing the river from Wushejin, and conquering Huai County, the capital of Hanoi County. His mission was not to fight, but to occupy Hanoi County, temporarily lead the prefect of Hanoi, raise the money and food for Sun Shangxiang for the army, and preside over the implementation of the new policy. To this end, Sun Ce transferred Mao Jie from the Prime Minister's Office to assist him.

After the task was arranged, the generals withdrew one after another. Sun Ce was listening to Yang Xiu's report by the sand table. When he heard Jia Xu's worry, he snorted. "Dezu, do you think Jia Wenhe is credible?"

"The situation is credible because he has no choice. The means are not credible. This person is full of wisdom and does not follow the rules and is difficult to guess. After several confrontations, I failed to guess his plan in advance, and he took the initiative."

Sun Ce agreed with Yang Xiu's judgment. When it comes to adapting to the situation, no one can guess what Jia Xu is doing, but in this way, he can't make a comeback. Unless he is forced to force him to fight for both losses, he has to fight for both sides. Now that the fate of Liangzhou is all about him, he dare not act rashly.

"There will be no chaos in Guanzhong, but it may be a minor chaos at any time. The governor of Lu should enter the pass as soon as possible. Tongguan, Puban, Longshan and other places must also be in control as soon as possible, and draw the scope to let Jia Xu move to avoid losing control. In addition, in order to avoid Liangzhou cavalry entering the pass and affect the situation, it is best to arrange enough cavalry to take charge of Guanzhong, and the enemy will defeat it if it comes."

"Can Zhao Yun be available?" Sun Ce asked.

"It is available, but he lacks military strength and can barely maintain the stability of Chang'an, but he will not be able to go to the battle."

After thinking for a moment, Sun Ce decided to discuss with Zhang Fei, and to draw 5,000 Youji cavalry from his command into the pass, commanded by Zhao Yun, and directly controlled by Lu Su. As the cavalry force controlled by Lu Su himself. In addition to the two thousand cavalry led by Wuqiu Xing and Zhang Xiu, Lu Su has 7,000 cavalry available, and he has the power to fight against any enemy.

After talking about official duties, Yang Xiu talked about meeting Zhang Yulan at Hongmen Pavilion. Sun Ce was also quite surprised to learn that Zhang Lu had a younger sister. This person seemed not mentioned in the official history.

"King, did Mrs. Lu go to Jianye, have you never asked for a meeting?"

Sun Ce told the story of Mrs. Lu being monitored and not being able to meet officially, and only meeting Guo Jia in private. Yang Xiu suddenly realized. He immediately reminded Sun Ce that solving the problem in Guanzhong can start with the Tianshi Dao. Judging from Zhang Yulan's description, many people in Guanzhong believe in Taoism, and it doesn't matter whether it is Taiping Dao or Tianshi Dao, or Luo Yao's believers. Most of these people are poor and are an important part of Guanzhong's household registration, and the number is enough to be comparable to the people who moved from Liangzhou. If they can be organized, they will have the foundation to balance the Liangzhou system.

After hearing Yang Xiu's plan, Sun Ce was very surprised. He glanced at Yang Xiu sideways and joked: "Ancestor De, I thought you had a crush on this Magnolia and wanted to try the secret art of Tianshidao's room."

Yang Xiu laughed, then felt rude again, and hurriedly held back and said, "My Lord, although Zhang Yulan has a little smaller knowledge, she has practiced since childhood. Judging from her appearance, she can tell that her realm is not weak. I have not yet gotten married, so I don't want to follow Cao Mengde's footsteps."

"That's right, Dezu, you are not young anymore, it's time to get married and have children. If you don't say it, your mother is really anxious."

Yang Xiu smiled embarrassedly, feeling uneasy. He didn't know if Sun Ce's words meant anything. Speaking freely and freely in front of Jia Xu does not mean that he is really willing to retire. At his young age, it is the critical time for Wu to go further. How could he be a bystander?

Sun Ce saw Yang Xiu's uneasiness and laughed secretly. How could Yang Xiu be willing to be lonely from the crystallization of two top wealthy families? "The Han Dynasty has been destroyed, so this general is of no point. The chief minister stopped doing it, what are you going to do, whether to follow the literature or the martial arts, civil affairs or supervision?"

Yang Xiu had already thought a lot along the way. The General Chief Shi no longer existed. His official position in Chang'an was Guanxi Pacifier, but the Pacifier was not very competent when it came to Sima Yi and Pei Qian. At this moment, Sun Ce was naturally not satisfied if he did not mention his position as Pacifier.

"Mong King Meng refused to abandon his mistakes and remembered his merits. I am grateful for the rewards and punishments. What are the commands of the king? I only obey the orders and do not seek merit, but only seek to do my best."

Sun Ce curled his lips and patted Yang Xiu on the shoulder. "I have been doing this for more than two years in Guanzhong. I am used to talking to the ministers and I also talk to Gu in front of Gu? I obey the orders and follow the rules. If I make mistakes, I will use the wrong person. Is this what I mean?"

Yang Xiu was embarrassed and hurriedly bowed. "The king misunderstood, I have no intention of this."

"Whether there is or there is no, it's right to ask you to go to Chang'an at that time, but now it's also for the sake of overall situation. When the situation in Guanzhong changes, you must keep pace with the times and change strategies in time. Gu has two plans, depending on which one you like. One is to go to Hedong to be the prefect. Hedong has salt and iron, and in Bingzhou, Guanzhong, and Guandong, there is no one to be allowed. Zhao Ang has limited ability, so he is afraid he will be unable to take on his responsibilities. Gu needs a capable person. One is to be by his side and be the chief clerk. He has nearly 200,000 troops to allocate money and grain. Yang Yi is too busy alone, and Gu needs a person to coordinate the overall money and grain. After thinking about it, it's the most suitable for you."

Yang Xiu laughed. "Since the king said that, I will be the chief clerk again. As for Zhao Ang, I think it is not appropriate to move lightly. The people of Liangzhou are like rats entering the warehouse, and are happy and shocked. Once they are disturbed, they will run away in scattered or angrily, or they will be devoured by others. It will be fatal if they are not done well."

Sun Ce agreed with Yang Xiu's opinion. He should take things slowly in Guanzhong, and not be anxious. If it is urgent, the people of Liangzhou will work hard. He immediately appointed Yang Xiuwei's chief clerk to be fully responsible for the army's money and grain collection, transportation, and adjustment and supply between various war zones, including the manufacturing, transportation and distribution of weapons and equipment.

Yang Xiu was originally Sun Ce's first chief clerk, and the current chief clerk Yang Yi was the third. Although he was unhappy with the extra Shangguan, facing his predecessor, Yang Xiu, who was born in four generations and three masters, even if Yang Yi had any complaints, he could only bury his stomach. Except for holding back his energy, he wanted to do his job better and did not dare to say a word.

Sun Ce immediately summoned Zhang Yulan to learn about the situation of Tianshidao in Guanzhong.

Zhang Yulan stared at Sun Ce and looked again and again, not sure. "The grass-roots people dare to ask the king, is it the king that Yang Changshi said that the person with the realm of golden sound and jade is the king?"

"Golden sound and Yuzhen?" Sun Ce thought for a long time before he remembered this word. A few years ago, Guo Jia and Yuan Quan said this, and later the old god Yu Ji also said it, but he himself didn't take it seriously. He had been busy with official business in recent years and almost forgot about it. "Is it a lonely statue?"

Zhang Yulan looked puzzled. "It's a bit like, but not very similar. The king is strong and has a golden and jade-like voice. It's indeed a bit like the golden sound and jade-like mentioned in the Taoist scriptures. However, Yang Changshi said that the king had this appearance a few years ago. Logically speaking, the king should take a step forward now." She thought for a while and said, "I understand that the king has a lot of things to do every day and has no time to practice. It is naturally difficult to improve his realm without regression."

Seeing that Zhang Yulan was serious, Sun Ce didn't know how to answer for a while. Although many people mentioned Jinsheng Yuzhen, he himself didn't take it seriously. He just regarded it as a sign of good health and sufficient energy, and could not fight against the eight poles of becoming an immortal. Throughout history, I have never seen anyone who can really become an immortal.

"Have you ever seen someone with a golden sound and a jade shaking?"

"I saw it once when I was a child."

"who?"

"The great wise and good teacher of Taiping Dao, Zhang Jiao. Speaking of which, he was also my Tianshi lineage and once came to Qingcheng Mountain to discuss Taoism. I was young at that time and was fortunate to follow my parents when I spoke. When he spoke, he shook the valley like the Huang Zhong Dalu, which impressed me deeply. Unfortunately, he later became more ambitious than the Taoist heart, and was eager to be rich and noble in the world, running among the powerful, and eventually became different from his body and head. It was a pity."

Sun Ce's heart moved and asked subconsciously. "If he did not choose this path but continued to practice, what kind of state can he reach?"

"I have insufficient realm and my knowledge is shallow, so I dare not speak nonsense. If the king wants to know more, why not ask my mother, she might be able to provide some advice for the king. However, although the practice emphasizes teacher education, it still depends on one's own body to practice. If the king can keep his original intention in his busy schedule, always calm, keep his spirit and clear, and not be moved by the external environment, even if he cannot become an immortal and gain enlightenment, it will be fine to prolong his life."

Sun Ce pondered for a long time and nodded. He did want to meet Mrs. Lu and ask questions about practice. Perhaps it was a mentality issue. He was too busy in recent years. Although he was still energetic and strong in the eyes of others, he knew that his current state was far inferior to that of a few years ago. On the contrary, Yuan Heng made obvious progress without realizing it.

He suspected that Yuan Heng's delay in conception might be related to this, and whether Yuan Heng can give birth to a legitimate son is related to the inheritance of the regime and cannot be taken lightly.
