Ju Su disagreed, but he did not make any strong advice. First, he did not have the responsibility for such matters, and he did not have the obligation to make any strong advice; second, strong advice is often of no use, so it is better to wait for the right opportunity to mention it.

Advice is a science, and it is a science that is not discussed in books. Good knowledge does not mean that you know when to give advice and when to shut up. He has seen too many such examples and does not want to repeat the same mistakes.

Ju Su followed Sun Ce into the camp. Yuan Quan was directing several maids to arrange meals. Several young women in simple clothes were distributing tableware to the children. Cao Zhang was pulling one of the women's clothes and saying something. Hearing Sun Ce's footsteps, he turned his head and looked, stretched out his finger. The woman walked over and bowed to Sun Ce to salute.

"The sinful woman thanked the king. If the king had to teach her, how lucky the dog son was."

Sun Ce smiled. "Madam, you are polite. A Zhang has Wu and A Zhi has Wen. They will have a promising future."

"Thank you," the woman said, bowed again and stepped back. She always had a faint smile on her face, a hint of humility, but not flattering. Ju Su was surprised when he heard this. "Is this... Cao Cao's concubine Bian?"

"Young Master and good eyesight." Sun Ce looked at Mrs. Bian's back and chuckled twice. "Do you feel like a foreign race? There are many Xianbei people in Langya, and the Bian family has Xianbei blood."

Ju Su was stunned and nodded quickly to agree. In fact, he was not surprised because Mrs. Bian had a somewhat alien appearance. There were more Xianbei people in Jizhou, but he didn't expect that Sun Ce would let Mrs. Bian do things here and have access to food.

"Master, is this..."

“Unsafe?”

Ju Su nodded. He was indeed worried about this. If Mrs. Bian poisoned the food, then Sun Ce would be too dangerous. Sun Ce took his seat and signaled Ju Su to sit next to him. Yuan Quan stepped forward and personally put tableware on Sun Ce and Ju Su, greeted him, and then retreated. Taking advantage of the busy opportunity of others, Sun Ce pointed to Cao Zhang and Cao Zhi in the crowd.

"Yang Xiu was in Chang'an and was placed under house arrest by Fa Zheng for a year. Thanks to Mrs. Bian's diet, these two children accompanied him to relieve his boredom and were very close. Although Yang Xiu has kidnapped them and his son, he cannot treat them badly. He repays his kindness with grievances, which is not what a gentleman should do. These two children are rare talents. Cao Zhang is born with divine power and will be a good general in the future. Cao Zhi is talented and intelligent, a seed of study, and the other child Cao Pi is slightly inferior, but he is also a middle-class and superior. With these three sons, she is just aggrieved for a while and will be a blessed person in the future."

Ju Su was quick and thought for a moment and understood the truth and nodded repeatedly. Mrs. Bian was only suffering for a while and would sooner or later return to her normal status. In the future, she might also be surrendered because of her son. Of course, she would not do stupid things and risk poisoning her two sons. She was just a concubine. Even if Cao Cao won the world, her heir was Cao Ang, and she had nothing to do with her son. She would not do this for poisoning her son for Cao Ang.

Ju Su understood a little. Sun Ce seemed casual, but in fact he was very careful.

After dinner, Ju Su accompanied Sun Ce out of the camp and climbed Mount Mang along the mountain road.

The dusk gradually became darker, the full moon rose, hanging in the sky like a jade plate, and the moonlight fell on Sun Ce through the treetops. Ju Su's body was mottled like broken silver. Sun Ce did not carry the lantern, and the soldiers who were accompanying the lantern were also far away. Ju Su needed to see the road under their feet as they passed by and remember it in their hearts so that they would not go astray. However, Sun Ce was used to walking, chatting with Ju Su while walking.

"Do you know what happened to assassinate back then?"

"I heard of it. Why did you have the honor to meet the king and avoid death."

"Please don't know that after He Yong was captured, Huai Si Rangers went to the fire like moths, one after another. The Military Advisory Office was called the Military Planning Office at that time, and they joined forces with the Dianxu Erduwei of the Yicong Camp to wait. They arrested hundreds of people and almost killed Huai Si Rangers. Many of them were masters of assassination. Now these people either serve in each army, or are on duty in Wumeng and Wuwei battalions."

Ju Su suddenly realized and laughed silently. Sun Jian and Sun Ce had all experienced assassination, so how could Sun Ce not be careful about assassins? He has always attached importance to military training. Since there are so many masters proficient in assassination, he cannot not use it. Assassination and stabbing prevention are naturally the focus of these rangers' study. With these people protecting, coupled with the Military Intelligence Department led by Guo Jia, the difficulty of assassination Sun Ce can be imagined. Perhaps he doesn't know how many conspiracies were stopped in secret, but he just doesn't know.

"You must not have the intention to harm others, and you must be guarded against others." Sun Ce said softly, his voice floating in the dark forest. "But it is better to remove the firewood from the cauldron than to stop the boiling soup. With these people alone, no matter how much protection there is, there will always be omissions. I have more preparations. Gong, guess what will it be?"

Ju Su thought for a moment and laughed silently. "What the king said should be the heart of the human heart."

Sun Ce laughed and shook his hand. "People's hearts are something that I want to fight for, but it's not enough now. Gongyou, don't forget that the county magistrates, county magistrates, and the heads of town pavilions are mostly retired soldiers. They are all familiar with common sense and know how to distinguish goodness. Once they find something wrong, they will report it step by step, so the orphan will not worry about those real assassins, they will not be able to get to the orphan."

Sun Ce chuckled twice and did not continue to say anything. Ju Shu understood it. Sun Ce was very strict and outsiders could not get close to him. People who might threaten him could only come from close people. This is impossible to prevent and cannot be told, so they can only be more careful. For Sun Ce, always keeping his mind clear and full physical strength becomes the final guarantee. With his martial arts, ordinary people are not his opponent when they come to him.

"The king is very thoughtful, but I am too concerned."

"Public and care, and I am very grateful. Today I am rare to travel with you. We don't talk about official business, but gossip." Sun Ce walked to an empty place, with his hands behind his back and looked at the Yellow River in the distance, Taihang. The evening breeze and the pine waves made his voice a little more desolate and distant. "Public and You, what is the most ideal way for the monarch and ministers to get along with each other in your mind?"

Ju Su pondered for a long time and felt a lot of emotion. In fact, this answer was just around the corner, and he didn't need to think too much about it. He just didn't realize it before, nor did he expect Sun Ce to have such a demeanor, and he could really do his best. And in such a situation, he could relax and let his ministers handle affairs when they were in a state of peace. How could Sun Ce be a monarch who held power? Compared to Yuan Shao, who said he wanted to govern the king and his ministers together, but in fact he was determined to act alone, Sun Ce was so smart.

How lucky it is to be born in troubled times to meet such an enlightened monarch.

"Those who conquer themselves are strong. The king can conquer themselves, and the people are rich and the country is strong."

"The people are rich and the country is strong." Sun Ce savored Ju Shu's words and smiled happily. "It is a blessing to be able to be like-minded with the public and like-minded. I just have to work hard. I feel sorry for watching you work day and night and forget to eat and sleep."

Sun Ce said he was depressed, but he could not see any shame on his face. Ju Su also found it interesting and relaxed a lot. "The king should not do this. He is in his position to plan his own affairs. This is the only thing for the minister, otherwise he would have become a corpse."

"It's so good, if you have the help of yourselves, I will be able to cure you with peace of mind."

The king and his subjects looked at each other and laughed.

After a few gossips, the topic inevitably returned to business. With the previous heart-to-heart talk, Ju Su also let go of the burden and opened his heart. He was worried before that the war was delayed and consumed too much, which may drag down the entire situation. He hoped that Sun Ce could be more proactive. Now he learned that Sun Ce was intentionally delegating power, although he was unsuccessful, but his concerns were not eliminated.

"King, it is the saint who is responsible for the rule of the saint. It is just that the matter is urgent and the war is tense. Is it too early for the king to go to the saint?"

Sun Ce thought for a moment, but did not answer Ju Su's question, and asked back: "Dong Yu, what are the consequences if it is not good to capture Bicheng?"

"Soldiers are injured and killed, money and food are exhausted, morale is frustrated, and people's hearts may also be shaken."

"Will the situation in the world be reversed?"

Ju Su stroked his beard and shook his head. "This is not true. Although I am stupid, I know that what the king is doing is the right way, or there are twists and turns, but it is the trend of the general trend and cannot be returned by human power. But... if the king can take the lead in the center, it may be smoother."

"Mr., how old is the son-in-law this year?"

“Twenty-five.”

"In what year did you start letting him play and not interfere too much?"

"At five or six years old."

"It has been six years since the founding of Wu State." Sun Ce turned around and walked back slowly. "At present, I think you can do it, so there is no need to be too busy. No matter what, you will always be a little busy at the beginning, and it will be fine after this period of time." He laughed twice and said, "You can only do great things in the future. Do you agree?"

Ju Su had already understood what Sun Ce meant and felt that Sun Ce's considerations were reasonable. Since the ministers and kings had to perform their duties, now is the best opportunity. Wu State changed from defense to offense, and Bicheng was just the first difficulty they had to face. The difficulties in the future would only get bigger and bigger. If they didn't take this opportunity to familiarize themselves with the temples, get along with them, and when would they go? Relying on Sun Ce to make decisions in everything. Once the habits are developed, it will be difficult to change, and in the end they will move towards the old path of the monarch's power, even if Sun Ce did not have such a subjective plan.

"The king is far-sighted, and I am beyond my reach."

"Your and I don't have to be humble. When it comes to general trends, I am a little better than me, but I still need the efforts of all the kings to work together. You, my king and my ministers perform their duties, use their strengths, build peace together, and set an example for future generations. A hundred years later, I can be worthy of my heart, the world, and the future generations. Isn't it beautiful?"

Ju Su nodded repeatedly and said with a smile: "Then I will attach to the phoenix tail."

"Even if it is a phoenix tail, it is one of the most dazzling phoenix feathers on the phoenix tail. However, I still hope that you can become a phoenix crown. Without you, the phoenix head will be bald and not look good."

Ju Su couldn't help laughing loudly. The laughter was loud, never so happy, so happy.
