Not far from the palace, Sun Ce realized that he had thought it was simple.

His Majesty the Emperor brought a few followers to private visits. It was something that only happened in the TV series, but it was actually impossible to achieve. He had just left the palace less than a hundred steps, and saw Hu Benlang in the crowd, and then he saw Xu Chu, who was pretending to be a passerby in the corner.

Sun Ce was both angry and funny. He didn't even look at your thick wall-like body or the grand master's demeanor, who believed you were a passerby?

Despite this, when Sun Ce was watching the people wandering around and listening to different dialects, he was still much better, making him wonder if he had been bored in the palace for too long and was irritated, and he just wanted to come out to relax and observe the people's feelings.

Since you come, you will be at ease. Since you have left the palace, let’s go and take a look.

After Sun Ce stayed in Ruyang for half a year, Ruyang has changed. The dense population and the prosperous market are by no means comparable to a county town, and even the county's Pingyu City is inferior. Sun Ce doubts that after this trip, the county's governor, the governor of Runan County, and even the governor of Yuzhou, would move to Ruyang.

After wandering around the street for a long time, Sun Ce realized that this was not suitable. There were pedestrians everywhere. The Hu Benlang and others worked too hard. They had to be careful of uninvited guests, but they could not act too much, which disturbed the people. Their psychological and physiological pressure were very high. So, in front of a restaurant, he stopped. As soon as he stood firm, the Hu girl who was welcoming the guests came up and greeted Sun Ce enthusiastically, leading Sun Ce to the second floor.

The door of a private room facing the street was half-closed. Sun Ce saw a familiar figure, couldn't help laughing, and pushed the door open and entered.

Guo Jia stood up and bowed.

Sun Ce looked at Guo Jia, sat down in front of the window, looked at the street window opposite, and saw several agile figures without surprise. He didn't say anything, sat on the prepared Grand Master chair, patted the smooth and visible armrests with his hands, and looked at Guo Jia opposite, smiling.

"The entire street is controlled by the MIIS?"

"The MIIS does not have such efficiency yet." Guo Jia brought up the glass boiled water kettle on the case and poured half a cup of fruit tea. "At most half a street."

"Then you can guess what I'm going to do."

"Don't guess." Guo Jia raised the fragrant fruit tea and raised it to Sun Ce. "Your Majesty won't try it? This is a very popular fairy tea in Ruyang recently. It can cure diseases and keep healthy without illness. Women can still beautify it after drinking it."

Sun Ce chuckled and looked down. There were a few slices of fruit as thin as cicada wings floating in the light yellow tea soup. Some spices may have been added. The aroma was light, as if there were none, with a hint of sweetness and a little sourness, which was quite good. He picked up the tea cup and sniffed it. The fragrance entered his nose, refreshing and refreshing. After a sip of tea entered his stomach, a little sourness, another hint of sweetness and a fragrance remained on his teeth and cheeks.

He couldn't help but nodded, expressing his agreement with Guo Jia's evaluation. Whether he can maintain health and beauty can be said to be good, tea is indeed good tea.

"Then tell me, why did I leave the palace?"

"Silent and thought of moving."

Sun Ce was slightly stunned, his eyebrows frowned slightly. "What?"

"Your Majesty has been in the palace for too long and needs to move." Guo Jia was calm and continued some water for Sun Ce. "Although Your Majesty has decentralized the power of the ministers and has a regular schedule and does not work hard for the document, his heart is in the world, but his heart is hard, but his heart is unavoidable. Although Huang Zhong's army turned the tide in the battle of Yizhou, he was still far from winning. Seeing that it was difficult to win quickly and various expenses increased greatly, it was reasonable for Your Majesty to worry about affecting people's livelihood."

"Do you have the same concern?"

"I am worried, but I think there are more important things to worry about."

"What's more important?"

Guo Jia nodded, his expression was solemn. "The generals compete for credit, and Yizhou has become a place for competition for the generals. I am worried that it will lose control. Huang Zhong forced himself to give in to the Brazilian clan. What if the generals follow the example?"

Sun Ce's eyebrows became tighter and tighter.

"After taking a step back, Huang Zhong defeated his merits and demerits, but he first took Yizhou. Zhou Gongjin fought hard for several years but was exhausted but failed. How could his soldiers be willing to do it? If he forced himself to advance regardless of casualties in order to get a piece of the pie, how could His Majesty take it? When Liu Shang attacked Shu in the Wu Han Dynasty, his opponent was just Gongsun Shu. He was eager to win for a while, and he was almost frustrated. Now our army is facing Cao Cao. If there is any mistake, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Sun Ce felt a little cold in his heart and his back felt cold. If what Guo Jia said really happened, the loss would not be a matter of hundreds of billions or billions, or even two or three hundred billions. He might suffer the biggest setback since his business started.

Sure enough, the biggest threat is not the enemy, but yourself.

Sun Ce picked up the teacup, took a sip of the fruit tea, and sorted out his thoughts. "How to deal with it in Fengxiao?"

"If it comes to the battlefield, the best way is to retreat to Xicheng, leave one in Dangqu, nail Cao Cao's main force, and slowly plan it."

Sun Ce did not comment. "What's the second?"

"Huang Zhong stayed in Dangqu and restrained Cao Cao's main force. Lu Su, Ma Teng and Yan Xing advanced to Nanzheng and forced Cao Ang to surrender to Hanzhong. If he could force Cao Cao to surrender and take Yizhou, he would be considered as a small fight for the big one."

"What if Cao Ang retreated to Jianmen?"

Guo Jia frowned and was silent for a long time. "Your Majesty personally fought and advanced several ways, and he achieved his merits in one battle."

Sun Ce repeatedly weighed the pros and cons, unable to think of a better solution than Guo Jia, and couldn't help but sigh. "Fengxiao, do you think this is the result that Chen Gong most wanted to see when he designed it?"

"It's possible." Guo Jia picked up the teacup and sighed. "Your Majesty, we have been going well over the years. We will defeat the attack and win the battle. We are restless and have lost the awe of the battlefield and our opponents. We are not defeated by Chen Gong, but by ourselves. This is like a yang hypersensitivity disease. It seems young and vigorous, but in fact it is a sick person who is already in a vague way without knowing it."

Sun Ce picked his eyelids slightly and looked at Guo Jia. "Your words coincide with Yang Dezu, but they said it a little late."

"This is not what I said." Guo Jia smiled bitterly, "It's what Mr. Ju said."

Sun Ce originally wanted to ask why Ju Su had said this and why he didn't say it directly. After thinking about it, Ju Su had actually reminded him implicitly before, but he just didn't notice it. Although Ju Su was a priest at the Military Advisory Office, he was a surrendered minister after all, and his prestige in the Military Advisory Office was insufficient. Ramblingly putting forward such opinions would not only not receive support, but could be counterproductive.

"So, your suggestion is to issue an edict to order Huang Zhong to withdraw his troops?"

"It is true from the perspective of war alone."

"What about other considerations?"

Guo Jia's mouth slightly raised. "I suggest that Your Majesty personally fight."

A cold light suddenly appeared in Sun Ce's eyes, staring at Guo Jia straight. Although Guo Jia was mentally prepared, he was still a little uneasy. After a while, Sun Ce withdrew his gaze, lowered his eyelids, and returned to his usual calmness, but his cheeks were a little tight and his tone became a little colder.

"So, are there anyone else who wants to do something?"

Guo Jia nodded. "Although the tree wants to be quiet, the cold wind will not stop."

"Are you thinking too much?"

"I hope so too."

Sun Ce was silent for a long time, and drank cups of tea after cup until the fruit tea was gone. Seeing that Sun Ce had no intention of getting up and leaving, Guo Jia ordered someone to change the tea.

Sun Ce waved his hand. "Come on a bar."

Guo Jia looked at him in surprise, then nodded and agreed, and got up and left the private room. Sun Ce ignored him and sat on the Taishi Chair, holding the armrests in both hands. The blue veins were exposed, and his finger joints turned white due to force. The solid Taishi Chair "crank" sounded, making people worried that it might break immediately.

The sound of footsteps outside the door sounded, and Sun Ce instantly returned to his calmness, raised his head and looked out the window.

The night was already dark, the sky was pitch black, there was no moonlight, and there was not even a single star.

The weather is a bit stuffy and makes people breathless.

Guo Jia pushed the door and walked in. Two Hu Ji followed him, both of whom were both young, at most fifteen or sixteen years old, but she developed very well, with a well-proportioned figure and concave and convex. Her blonde hair was like brocade, draped over her shoulders, and a pair of blue blue eyes were flowing with a bit of charm in her shyness. What's even more strange is that the two looked very similar and were twins.

They arranged their food and food, but did not withdraw. They stood aside with their hands, looked at Guo Jia with anticipation.

Guo Jia looked at Sun Ce with a smile. Sun Ce understood what he meant, but was not interested at all, and waved his hand. Guo Jia shrugged and gave Hu Ji a wink. Hu Ji's eyes showed disappointment, but he didn't say a word, gave a gift, left, and took it to the door.

"Your Majesty, this pair of sisters, Hu Ji, is of some origin. Their ancestors were once the royal family of India. The price of drinking is as high as 10,000 yuan, and it may not be enough."

"Are there many orioles like this?"

"There are many Hu Ji, not many so beautiful, there are probably only one couple in Ruyang." Guo Jia personally served, poured wine for Sun Ce, and poured a glass for himself. Before Sun Ce could speak, he made a statement in advance: "I will only have one glass, your Majesty will do it."

"So self-conscious?" Sun Ce couldn't help laughing, his mood that had been depressed for a long time relaxed a little, and he deliberately joked: "I'm afraid it wasn't a intentional fraud, right? I'm afraid I'll let it go if I drink too much, and I'll let it go?"

"I have not been false for a long time. I am disdainful of others. I am unwilling to you." Guo Jia raised his glass with both hands and smiled calmly: "Your Majesty has asked me, and I will speak all the time."

Sun Ce raised his wine glass and touched Guo Jia lightly, with a crisp sound. "Then you talk first, there are generals in the army who are greedy for the wrong ones."

“Yes, but not many.”

“Why?”

"Your Majesty can calculate it. Although there is a delay in military expenditure accounting, there is a account to check, and there is limited room for trouble. I estimate that the total amount will not exceed 100 million. For specific people, there are only a handful of people with a maximum of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and more than one million."

"You have known this a long time ago?" Sun Ce breathed a sigh of relief. "How to deal with it?"
