The Most Romantic of the Three Kingdoms

Sun Ce asked, "Why is your mother laughing?"

Mrs. Wu said with relief: "My son feels sorry for the car and feels uneasy because of his public grievance and tricks. This shows that my son is not a mean person, which is very good! How can I be a mother? Not happy about it?"

Sun Ce said, "Mom, although my son does not dare to call himself a mellow gentleman, he is not ashamed of a humble person."

Sun Ce is indeed unworthy of the name of "mellow gentleman". This is not to say that he is sinister and sinister, but that he is now the master of one party, with tens of thousands of people under his account. He doesn't talk about being kind or in charge of soldiers, he only talks about fighting. In fighting, it is indispensable to use tactics, in order to win, and even do everything possible, so the words "mellow gentleman" are indeed irrelevant to him.

Madam Wu became more and more relieved, and motioned for Sun Ce to come closer.

Sun Ce walked on his knees to Mrs. Wu's table.

Mrs. Wu stretched out her hand and stroked his cheek, and said, "My son has a righteous character in his heart, and Xiao Ru's father is also very similar to your father's birth! Well, it is indeed your father's son, and indeed my son." She took back her hand. , put it on his lap, smiled slightly, and then said to Sun Ce, "But my son, my husband, in life, is committed to righteousness, but he speaks out of hatred. From the mother's point of view, it is really a good word."

Sun Ce said, "My mother agrees with the public hatred for deceiving Che Qi through Kong De?"

Mrs. Wu did not answer Sun Ce's question, but asked Sun Ce, "My son, you know your father's friendship with Che Qi. Let me ask you, how is your father's friendship with Che Qi?"

Sun Ce was puzzled by what Mrs. Wu meant, and asked, "What does your mother mean by this?"

Mrs. Wu said, "The meaning of my words is the meaning of what I asked in my words."

Sun Ce hesitated, then said, "Mum, when Dad was alive, he and Che Qi were like brothers."

Mrs. Wu raised her face slightly, looked at the mid-air, and for a while, she was absent-minded. She didn't know if she was remembering Sun Jian or thinking about something. After a while, she put her eyes down and said to Sun Ce, "Your father is on the battlefield. Shang was unfortunately killed, because I couldn't see you for the last time, there are a lot of things that I should say to you, and I couldn't say it to you because of this. But these words, although your father didn't have the opportunity to tell you, I know them all It's just that after your father's death, you first needed to stabilize Yuzhou, and then rode to Chang'an King Qin, so I never listened to you. The imperial court has been greeted by chariots to Xu County, and the situation has been greatly improved compared to before, it is time to tell you these words and let you know."

Sun Ce sensed the deep meaning contained in Mrs. Wu's words, her expression became serious, and she sat up straight. He asked Mrs. Wu, "Dare to ask your mother, what are the words?"

"You're not wrong when you say that your father and Che Qi were brothers when he was alive, but there is an old saying that goes, 'Brothers, clear accounts', what about your father and Che Qi?"

Sun Ce asked, "What does your mother mean?"

Mrs. Wu said, "Have you collected the jade seal that your father left you?"

When Mrs. Wu asked this question suddenly, Sun Ce was not prepared, was startled, and looked at the door of the hall subconsciously.

The door to the hall was closed, and there was no one else in the room, only his mother and son.

Sun Ce finally let go of his pounding heart, turned around, answered Mrs. Wu, and said, "If you go back to my mother, Yuxi is hidden in the secret room, and no one knows its existence except for Er and Cheng Pu. ."

"My son, do you know why your father kept it a secret after he got the jade seal?"

Sun Ce said hesitantly, "It's because my father has great ambitions."

"Exactly! My son, even though your father and Che Qi were like brothers back then, your father has always had great ambitions, especially after winning the jade seal, in the fight against Dong, and Che Qi also had him, but why is the jade seal alone? Got it for your father? Your father told me privately that it was God's will! My son, God's will is not God's will, so I don't need to say it. But after your father won Yuzhou, why did you fight for Hanoi? Isn't it because your father wants to use Yuzhou as the foundation, so that your Sun clan can become a hegemon? My son, your father told me that your Sun clan was originally humble, and in the past, wanting to grow up is like a mountain Heaven, that's why your father, despite his outstanding military service, was transferred to the head of the three counties for more than ten years. It was a time of great chaos at home, and a good opportunity came. Your father has already won Yuzhou. Son, think about it, if your father moved north to Hanoi, and the grand plan of spanning Yu and Jing could be realized, what kind of situation would your Sun clan be now?"

Sun Ce replied, "If my father's ambition is fulfilled, then my family will be able to compete with Cheqi and Yuan Benchu."

"My son, your father's ambition is as good as it is. If you say it, there are more than one princes, enough to keep pace with chariots and horses!"

Sun Ce said: "My mother is saying that although my father and Che Qi are brothers, they have always wanted to compete with Che Qi."

"That's right! Chaqi is a hero, but your father is not a hero? Your father and Chaqi are just heroes, but they have no intention of letting it go! My son, your father failed to achieve his ambition and unfortunately passed away. , but you must inherit your father's ambition, and you must not fall into the name of your grandson!"

Sun Ce suddenly stood up, lifted up his robe and bowed down, threw his body to the ground, and gave a big salute to Mrs. Wu, and said sternly, "Please don't worry, mother, Ce will inherit her father's ambition and not fall into the name of Sun's!"

Mrs. Wu asked: "Your father's legacy, you know it, do you still feel uneasy and guilty because of public grievances and tricks to deceive the rider?"

Sun Ce got up from the ground, answered Mrs. Wu, and said, "Even though my son knows my father's will, I still feel guilty."

Mrs. Wu laughed again, looking at Sun Ce with doting eyes, and said, "Really your father's son, really my son!" She asked Sun Ce and said, "My son, what are you going to do next?"

Sun Ce relayed the suggestion that Gong Qiu gave him to Mrs. Wu, saying: "Mom, Gong Qiu suggested that when I arrive in Xu County next month, I will take the initiative to ask Ye Qi and confess to Qi Qi. You want to share this plan with Zhang Xian in Jingzhou to relieve the unhappiness of the chariots. Later, I will look for opportunities to see if we can get the will of attacking Lv Bu."

Mrs. Wu nodded and said, "Gongchou calls this strategy, but it's okay for mothers to do it. My son, Gongchou calls him a great talent, so you have to use it more for him."

Sun Ce said, "Don't worry, Auntie, I have always been respectful and respectful towards public enmity, and I will adopt every strategy I offer."

"That's good. You ask Quan'er and the others to come in."

Sun Ce agreed and went to the door and opened the door. Sun Quan and his younger brother and sister were sitting and playing on the porch outside. Sun Ce called them back indoors. Several brothers and sisters accompanied Mrs. Wu to talk until late at night, and went back to their rooms to rest.

After more than half a month, in the middle of December, Ling Gongqiucheng, Wu Jing, Cheng Pu and others stayed in Pingyu, Sun Ce did not bring too many people, only Zhu Zhi, Hongzi, Sun He, Zu Mao, Xu Sheng, accompanied by more than a hundred cavalry, left Pingyu today and went to Xu County.

A few days later, when they arrived in Xu County, when Chen Yi and others were building a house for the ministers, they also built one for Sun Ce. He first went to the house to rest for a while, and then rushed to Xunzhen's house to ask for an interview.

It wasn't even evening yet, and Xun Zhen was still in the General's Mansion and didn't come back.

When Sun Ce was greeted by Zhuge Jin, Sun Ce did not ask Zhuge Jin to send someone to inform Xun Zhen, and waited in the hall for Xun Zhen to return.

Zhuge Jin spoke with him.

Xun Zhen was probably quite busy today. It was not until nightfall that Sun Ce heard the lively movement outside. Knowing that Xun Zhen had returned, he was accompanied by Zhuge Jin and went out to greet Xun Zhen. As soon as they arrived in the front yard, they happened to meet Xun Zhen.

In the darkness of the night, in the light of the torches, seeing Sun Ce's handsome face appear before him, Xun Zhen was quite surprised and said, "Bo Fu, when did you come?"

Sun Ce bowed and saluted, and said, "In response to Duke Ming's words, Ce will be in Xu County in the afternoon."

"When did you come home?"

Sun Ce replied, "In response to Duke Ming's words, he came in the evening."

"Why didn't someone tell me?" Seeing Zhuge Jin following Sun Ce, Xun Zhen blamed Zhuge Jin and said, "Why didn't you go to the military mansion and tell me that Bo Fu is here?"

Sun Ce explained: "Duke Ming, I don't blame Ziyu for this. Knowing that Duke Ming is busy with the military and politics, I didn't let him disturb Duke Ming."

"Have you eaten yet?"

Sun Ce replied, "Not yet."

Xun Zhen then instructed Zhuge Jin, saying, "Ziyu, ask the cook to serve the meal." Holding Sun Ce's hand, he went up to the back hall with him, and as he walked, he said with a smile, "Bo Fu, are you starving? ? I'm already very hungry!"

Sun Ce replied, "After a day's hard work, you will definitely be tired, so Ce will accompany you to drink two cups later."

Xun Zhen smiled and said, "Okay, okay!" She asked Sun Ce and said, "Why did you come to Xu County today?"

Sun Ce said respectfully: "Duke Ming, isn't this the grand meeting on Zhengdan next year? Ce thought about it, this is the first grand meeting after the sage and the court moved to Xu County. There must be a lot of things to prepare. I don't know if I can help Duke Ming~www.wuxiaspot.com~ so I came early."

"You're right, there are indeed a lot of things that need to be prepared. ... You came just in time, Liu Zhang's messenger arrived two days ago, you can see him tomorrow, let him see and see, what is the gathering of talents in my court, and also save He is arrogant there!"

Sun Ce heard that Xun Zhen's words meant dissatisfaction with Liu Zhang's envoy, and asked, "What? Duke Ming, could it be that the envoy sent by Liu Zhang was very arrogant and disrespectful in front of Duke Ming's seat?"

Xun Zhen smiled and said, "In front of me, of course he didn't dare to be arrogant, but in front of others, he really did a lot of pretense."

"Okay! I'll see him tomorrow then, and I'll give him a break from his spirit."

When the two of them arrived at the hall, Xun Zhen remembered something, first ordered Sun Ce to take a seat, and then he sat down at the main seat, and then said to Sun Ce: "Bo Fu, what a coincidence, the envoy of Wu Jun who came to participate in the Zhengdan Chao Congratulation is with you. Xuxian, who came to Xuxian before and after, only arrived the day before yesterday, haven’t you heard from your hometown for a long time? You might as well meet him when you have time.”

Sun Ce agreed.

……

However, not only the envoys from Wu County who came to participate in the Zhengdan congratulations have arrived, but also the envoys from Lujiang County. The envoy of Lujiang County did not come alone, and with him, there were also more than ten children of noble families with different surnames in the county. See if you can show your reputation. Among them was a handsome young man, Zhou Yu.

When Sun Ce and Xun Zhen were talking in the hall, Zhou Yu was in the room of the Chuanshe, writing quickly under the candlelight.
