Dantu.

Liu Yao stood at the bow of the boat with his hands in his arms, looking at the rolling river waters that were rolling eastward, with a solemn expression and a tight face. He was seven feet and five inches tall, strong in shape, square face and big mouth, and powerful aura. His eyes were flashing like a sharp sword, and the cold light was fierce.

Taishi Ci stood behind Liu Yao. He was a little taller than Liu Yao. He was not as powerful as Liu Yao. His shoulders were wider, but his waist was thinner, making him look more agile. His arms were nearly one palm longer than ordinary people, his fingertips could reach the knees, he carried a bow on his left, and an arrow on his right. Two halberds were inserted behind him, and a long knife was erect around his waist, which was majestic. Behind him was a horse, his saddle was neatly brimmed, and a long halberd was hung on the saddle.

Zhuo Jishi rowed the oars, and the big boat gradually landed on the dock.

Taishi Ci looked at the shore and took a step towards Liu Yao. "Empress, there are people on the shore to greet him, and there are about sixty or seventy people, one of whom has a short beard and fierce appearance, about forty years old. He should be Xu Gong, the prefect of Wujun. There is an old Confucian scholar next to him, with white face and long beard, about fifty years old, and he should be Xu Jing."

Liu Yao came back to his senses from his thoughts, looked at Jiang'an in the distance, and then looked at Taishi Ci, with a satisfied smile on his eyes. "Ziyi has good eyesight, and he can see his appearance clearly at such a distance. He is worthy of being a sharpshooter." After a moment, he returned to his seriousness. "Ziyi, although the court has the intention of being martial, Xu Jing, like Xu Shao, is known for appreciating human ethics, and he may not have a good impression of warriors. If there is anything inappropriate to you later, you should be patient for a while and don't bother with him."

Taishici responded in a depressed voice, a hint of loss flashing in his eyes.

The big ship gradually landed, and Xu Gong and Xu Jing stood on the dock and bowed to Liu Yao from afar. Liu Yao returned the favor. Taishi Ci looked at the people on the shore without saying a word. The boat leaned against the shore, and someone pulled a rope. Liu Yao stepped onto the shore, came to Xu Gong, and bowed.

"The Lord of the House is so polite, I am so grateful."

Xu Gong smiled and gave a deep bow. "Yangzhou is in danger, and the aristocratic tribes in Wujun are all looking forward to the arrival of the Ming envoy as soon as possible to relieve the people of the water and fire. Today, the Ming envoy finally came, peace is expected, and we can finally rest assured."

"The mansion is so serious, Sun Ce is fierce. If you want to restore peace, you need the strong help. I, Liu Yao, came here alone, even if I have a passion, how effective can it be?" He turned to Xu Jing. "This must be Mr. Wenxiu, the editor of Yuedan Pin, Runan?"

Xu Jing nodded with a smile and greeted Liu Yao. His eyes swept over Taishici behind Liu Yao. Seeing the weapons on Taishici, he couldn't help but frown. "Encourt, this warrior is..."

Liu Yao quickly introduced him and introduced Taishi Ci to everyone. Xu Gong was very happy and took Taishi Cihan for a few words, but Xu Jing was quite cold and didn't even say a word to Taishi Ci. He was busy introducing Liu Yao to the famous Wu County scholars who came to greet him.

"This is Gao Dai, a famous scholar in Wuxi, Gao Kongwen. His father Gao Yifang once asked about Ma Fufeng. The last emperor painted his image in Dongguan. This is a filial and honest scholar, who read Zhongru, who has a background in his family and is proficient in the Three Rites..."

Liu Yao greeted each other.

A group of people made a noise and got on the bus together. They arrived at Shenting Ridge not far away. Xu Gong arranged a banquet on the ridge to greet Liu Yao. Xu Gong and Liu Yao were in the same car as Liu Yao. As soon as they got on the bus, Liu Yao asked about Sun Ce's situation. When he learned that Sun Ce might have entered the Wujun realm at this moment, he couldn't help but feel anxious. "Since Sun Ce has come here, can the lord of the palace be on guard?"

Xu Gong is confident. "I am please relieved. I have already made arrangements. Not only are the soldiers in Wu County well-educated and food sufficient, but also the heavy troops in the lake. If Sun Ce dares to act rashly, he will never come back."

"How many people are there in Wuxian, how many boats are there in the lake, and how many people are there?"

"There are five thousand people in Wu County, more than 300 warships in the lake, and more than 4,000 navy personnel."

"Have you sent someone to welcome Sun Ce?"

"Minister Wang Zhen, a famous scholar in Wu County, Lu Kang." Xu Gong shrugged his eyebrows proudly. "I also arranged for a young celebrity to see Sun Ce."

"Young celebrity?"

"Yes, a young man from Wu County, with a surname and name, is not only good at literary talent, eloquence, and sword skills. He is also known as San Miao, and is the leader of the younger generation of the Wu County clan. As a young man, a civil and military genius, he is inevitably arrogant. When he met Sun Ce, he was afraid it would be very lively." Xu Gong lowered his voice and smiled sly: "If he could kill Sun Ce, that would be better. If he could not kill Sun Ce, he would be killed by Sun Ce, which was not bad. If the Wu County clan saw Sun Ce's ferocity, he would not be half-hearted."

Liu Yao glanced at Xu Gong and remained silent. Xu Gong was embarrassed and quickly put away his smile. "Eunuch, the six counties of Yangzhou, Sun Ce has obtained four counties, and now only Wu County and Yu Zhang are left. What is the envoy planning to start?"

Liu Yao coughed lightly: "Mr., do you know who appointed me, the governor of Yangzhou?"

Xu Gong's eyes flashed. He didn't know who appointed Liu Yao, the governor of Yangzhou, but he knew that Liu Yao was Yuan Shao's person. Otherwise, Yuan Shao would not have sent someone to inform him and asked him to cooperate with Liu Yao's actions, nor would he specially rush to the Danpu to welcome Liu Yao. Liu Yao's brothers had a close relationship with Yuan Shao, so he would not have any other ideas, right?

"I was sent by the leader of the alliance, but my appointment edict was issued by Chang'an."

Liu Yao slowed down his speech, giving Xu Gong plenty of time to understand the difference. Wujun has always been Yuan Shao's sphere of influence. Xu Gong's predecessor Sheng Xian was a party member and accepted Yuan Shao's orders. Yuan Shao's orders were issued not long ago in the name of the edict. He specifically stated that the edict was issued by Chang'an, which was to tell Xu Gong a major message: Yuan Shao bowed to the court. Yangzhou wanted to fight, but he had to control the rhythm and not cause trouble to Yuan Shao. If the situation was not serious, Yuan Shao would not bow to the court.

Xu Gong's eyes twitched. He understood Liu Yao's reminder, but felt sincere anger and indescribable disappointment.

What exactly did Yuan Shao think? Can you still turn back on the rebellion? So many people followed you, obeyed your orders, accepted your edict, and killed Sun Ce to death. You are so good that you shouted fiercely, but your waist was very soft, and your face turned around and you actually accepted the edict from the court?

Do you think you can go back and become your fourth generation three master again?

"Why?" Xu Gong's voice became hoarse, as harsh as rough.

"I don't know exactly what the reason is, but one thing is certain, Yangzhou was lost too quickly. Within a few months, the three counties of Lujiang, Jiujiang and Danyang were successively lost. The governor of Yangzhou Chen Wen, the three brothers of Zhou and Chen Deng were killed. There were only two counties left in the six counties of Yangzhou. I, the governor of Yangzhou, could not take office in Liyang. If I don't slow down, I'm afraid I haven't gained a foothold yet. Wu County and Yu Zhang will be taken into the trap by Sun Ce."

Xu Gong's face turned red, he gritted his teeth, without saying a word, and only the corners of his eyes were twitching.
