Zhang Hong whispered in front of these two brothers for a long time, obviously conveying Sun Ce's meaning.

What he said was very lively, but the more they listened, the more Zhang Zhao and Cheng Pu felt that something was wrong.

"Zigang, since His Majesty has arrived in our Jiangdong, he will naturally announce the relocation of the capital as soon as possible. Although our Jiangdong is not located in the Central Plains, it is also an easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack place. Why should we hide it for a while first?"

Obviously, Jiangdong is now in a very stable state for Sun Ce. The announcement of moving the capital is obviously the icing on the cake, so neither Zhang Zhao nor Cheng Pu quite understand why they should hide this kind of thing?

"You two, Cao Cao has already won two battles with Yuan Shao in a row, solved the siege of White Horse, and killed Yan Liang and Wen Chou. The next stage is the fierce fighting between their two armies. If we say now

Now that we have moved the capital, we have announced the outcome of this battle. Do you think it would be better for Cao Cao to be directly defeated by Yuan Shao and Yuan Shao to unify the Central Plains, or should they kill both sides first, and then we wait for the opportunity to make a move?"

After Zhang Hong said these words, the two of them remained silent, carefully savoring the weight of these words.

"Zigang, after two years apart, your thinking has obviously become more rigorous!"

Zhang Zhao, who was also called Zhang Hong, thought for a moment and understood what Zhang Hong meant. He couldn't help praising Zhang Hong at that time because he didn't think about the truth in detail because of the arrival of the emperor.

"This opinion is not something I came up with, but Bo Fu asked me to do it."

"Bo Fu? When could he think about these things so patiently?"

They all knew Sun Ce's temperament. Zhang Hong suddenly said that Sun Ce asked him to do this, which made Zhang Zhao and Cheng Pu confused.

"Perhaps someone else informed him. Let's leave this aside for the time being. The three of us will prepare secretly for the relocation of the capital. At the same time, we will send more troops to observe the fighting situation between Cao Jun and Yuan Jun. When the time is right, we will immediately announce the relocation of the capital.

thing!"

This time Cheng Pu and Zhang Zhao both nodded and agreed to temporarily place Liu Xie in the palace, but they kept it secret. Only Sun Ce, the three of them, and Sun Ce's most trusted confidant Zhou Yu knew about it, and they would wait until the right time.

Announce.

In fact, at this appropriate time, they all knew quite well in their hearts that if Yuan Shao really couldn't defeat Cao Cao, announcing the matter when he was about to lose would obviously be the best result.

The two powerful enemies have been almost weakened. In addition, Sun Ce can make good preparations in Jiangdong during this period, strengthen his troops, and be ready for attack. When the time comes, he can directly play a big game.

At that time, Sun Ce's only enemies were Liu Biao, Liu Zhang, Ma Teng and others, plus some princes with only one or two cities, which was not a concern at all.

At this moment, the three old brothers who followed Sun Jian even saw the hope of assisting Sun Ce to ascend to the supreme position in their own lifetimes.

After discussing it, Cheng Pu and Zhang Zhao went back to prepare. At this time, Sun Ce's mansion was still in the study hidden in the corner, but there was another person sitting opposite Sun Ce.

This person also has broad shoulders and a thin waist, a tall but well-proportioned figure, a white robe, neat bun, bright eyes, and a handsome face. He is none other than Zhou Yu.

At this time, Zhou Yu had become the Central Protector before Sun Ce went on the expedition the previous year, and he also served as the governor of Jiangxia. He was in the limelight in Jiangdong for a while. The key is that Zhou Yu was also very competitive. With Sun Ce assisting him, he could be said to be invincible.

At the age of twenty-four, he was already called Zhou Lang by all the prominent people in Jiangdong. He can be said to be the most powerful person among the younger generation in Jiangdong.

"His Majesty was secretly welcomed to our Wu County by Zhang Hong? Bo Fu! Why didn't you tell me earlier about such a big thing? The reason why Cao Cao was able to dominate Xuchang with only a small number of troops was because he held your Majesty hostage. Now,

While he and Yuan Shao are fighting fiercely in Guandu, if we can do this to him, we, Jiangdong, will not worry about the big thing happening!"

Zhou Yu is such a person who always avoids his talents and learning, and he indeed has this ability.

He didn't think he was any worse than Cao Cao's Guo Jia, Xun You, or the previous Xi Zhicai and others.

If it is really bad, Zhou Yu feels that what he is missing is just an opportunity to compete in the Central Plains. Now, with Liu Xie, it is equivalent to having a pass to compete in the Central Plains. How can he not be excited?

"At the beginning, I did think so too, but apart from that, there are some things that I haven't told anyone yet..."

When Zhou Yu saw that Sun Ce's face was calm and thoughtful, which was rare before, this was quite inconsistent with his temperament. Based on Zhou Yu's understanding of Sun Ce, if he was in this state, he must have met a master.

Sure enough, Sun Ce immediately told Zhou Yu that Liu Xie was not held hostage by Zhang Hong, but took the initiative to let Dong Cheng find Zhang Hong after the thunder of the belt edict. He wanted to come. In the final analysis, Jiangdong was just for Liu Xie.

The Association only provides such a path.

And before coming, Liu Xie already knew that even Cao Cao didn't know, that Guo Jia planned the assassination of Sun Ce, and reported it in advance. According to what Sun Ce told Zhou Yu, the three assassins wanted to

My life is really too simple.

If all of this doesn't explain anything, Liu Xie's analysis of Sun Ce as soon as he arrived in Wu County, coupled with the fact that he had no scruples in taking the second daughter of the Qiao family that Sun Ce had planned to divide between himself and Zhou Yu,

Leaving showed that the emperor Liu Xie seemed to be different from what they had heard from other places before.

After listening to these things in detail, Zhou Yu was a little confused for a while and didn't know what to say.

Indeed, anyone who hears this incident will imagine Liu Xie as a very simple tool man. Yes, the kind of tool man who has no ideas and just goes wherever you point him.

But from Sun Ce's story, Zhou Yu found that that didn't seem to be the case. Wasn't it that Jiang Dong had always followed Liu Xie's rhythm?

Although he didn't know what Liu Xie's ultimate goal was, Zhou Yu had a hunch that this time Jiang Dong seemed to have become Liu Xie's tool.

Of course, it is true that he saved Sun Ce's life.

"If nothing else, the suggestions he made are quite good. Rather than letting Cao Cao's army lose their morale now, it would be better to let them spend time among themselves."
