Reborn in the Three Kingdoms, I stole Liu Bei's uncle

Yuan Shu was silent after hearing this. Yan Xiang was right. Although Sun Ce was powerful, he was not his direct descendant after all. He came from outside.

Although he received many rewards, Yuan Shu still had some natural resistance to Sun Ce when it came to important matters.

He had hinted many times that he wanted to adopt Sun Ce as his adopted son. It was not known whether Sun Ce did not understand the meaning of his words or deliberately ignored them. The two did not have an in-depth discussion on this topic.

He turned his gaze to Yang Hong and asked, "What do you think about Sun Bofu's matter?"

Yang Hong bowed and said, "What Yan Zhubo said makes sense. We must be on guard against Sun Bofu's incident."

"In your opinion, sir, what should be done about this matter?"

"Quickly send someone to recall Sun Ce and send another capable and skilled general to replace him."

"I think you two must know that if these generals had Sun Bofu's abilities, how could they have ended up in this situation?"

After these words were spoken, both of them were speechless.

What Yuan Shu said was right. In the plan to capture Yangzhou, it was originally intended that his direct generals would lead the attack. But who knew what the final result would be? They suffered heavy casualties and achieved nothing.

When Yuan Shu was feeling depressed, Sun Ce cautiously proposed to him that he wanted to lead people to attack Yangzhou.

Yuan Shu was slightly startled when he saw that Sun Ce had few soldiers under his command. He thought he had heard it wrong. After confirming it again and again, he realized that what Sun Ce said was true.

Looking at the ambitious Sun Ce, Yuan Shu simply said that his troops had all been sent out and there were no troops available for Sun Ce to mobilize at the moment. Who knew that Sun Ce did not want to allocate his own troops and was ready to set off with only a few thousand troops.

Having said that, Yuan Shu reluctantly agreed. To be honest, deep down in his heart, he didn't think that Sun Ce could achieve anything. He wanted to capture the city of Yangzhou with only a few thousand people. Obviously, Sun Ce thought this matter was too simple.

Who knew that the following developments would be beyond everyone's expectations. After Sun Ce left Jiujiang, he was unstoppable along the way and no one could stop him. In a short period of time, he conquered most of the land in Yangzhou. How could Yuan Shu not be excited by such a record?

Sun Ce is now on the rise, and no matter who is sent, it will be difficult to achieve the same achievements as Sun Ce.

Seeing the two people's embarrassed expressions, Yuan Shu said calmly: "The current situation in Yangzhou cannot be handled by anyone other than Bofu. After we take over all the land in Yangzhou, it won't be too late to transfer Bofu back."

"My lord, if we delay until then, I'm afraid Sun Ce..."

"Don't worry about this, sir. With our current strength, even if Sun Bofu has ulterior motives, we can suppress him."

Yuan Shu was very confident. His confidence came not only from the ever-increasing money and army, but also from the foundation of the Yuan family, with three officials in four generations.

Half of the officials in the world come from his family. This is not just an empty statement. Although Yangzhou is far away from Luoyang, there are many disciples of the Yuan family. As long as he makes a call, these people will surely respond.

By then, it would be easy for me to defeat Sun Ce.

……

……

News from Yangzhou also continued to reach Liu Yu's ears. From the information received so far, the situation in Yangzhou has developed much faster than Liu Yu remembered. According to the original historical memory, it would take some time for Sun Ce to establish a great reputation in Yangzhou.

It seems that after I traveled through time, historical events have shifted to varying degrees.

"I never thought Sun Ce would be such a hero. He has made such a great reputation in Yangzhou in such a short time. If we let him develop, I am afraid he will become a strong enemy of the lord in the future."

Chen Gong expressed his concern about the rapidly changing situation in Yangzhou.

Guo Jia had been drinking and seemed not to be worried at all about the growing power of Sun Ce.

"I can't say that he's a strong enemy. Sun Ce is indeed brave, but he is careless and unprepared, impatient and lacks strategy. In order to establish his authority, he killed many aristocratic families. These people have deep roots in the local area. Although they are temporarily suppressed by him, they will surely take action after things stabilize. I predict that he will definitely die at the hands of villains in the future."

Looking at Guo Jia, who was already a little drunk, Liu Yu secretly admired that Guo Jia was indeed the best strategist of the era. He predicted Sun Ce's death based on his analysis of Sun Ce's personality and behavior. Such a terrifying reasoning ability was very rare in any era.

Guo Jia took a sip of wine and looked at the thick information, with obvious doubt in his eyes.

"Sun Ce's speed of marching, his plans for attacking the city, and even his policies for appeasing the refugees are all very methodical. I guess there must be a versatile person behind him who is secretly planning for him."

"Feng Xiao's guess is correct. This man's name is Zhou Yu, or Zhou Gongjin. He is both civil and military, with extraordinary wisdom and strategy. He can lead an army on horseback and keep the people at ease when he is off a horse. If we only talk about all-round talents, he is enough to rank in the top three in this era."

"My Lord, do you know Zhou Gongjin? How old is he? How could he be so powerful?"

"I have never seen him, but his name is." He wore a feather fan and a long scarf, and while talking and laughing, he destroyed the enemy's masts and oars, and was so cool and unrestrained. Throughout history, there has been only one person like Gongjin. "If I remember correctly, Zhou Gongjin was only twenty years old at that time."

"Twenty years old? So young? And you can rank in the top three?"

Chen Gong asked three soul-searching questions, and it was obvious that he had some doubts about what Liu Yu had just said.

"A man of great ambition has no age limit, and the public office should not look down on him just because he is young.

He is a versatile person who can command the army on horseback and govern the people on foot. In this era, I really can’t think of a fourth person who can surpass Zhou Yu.”

"My lord, this person must be extraordinary."

After hearing what Liu Yu said, Chen Gong finally believed the truth in Liu Yu's words.

The expression of horror on his face remained unchanged. After a long while, he let out a sigh. Compared with Zhou Yu, he had eaten in vain all these years.

Liu Yu smiled faintly. If you knew that there was a younger guy who ranked higher than Zhou Yu, would the expression on your face be more interesting?

Guo Jia had been drinking. He was already drunk, but at this moment he suddenly sobered up a little.

Zhou Yu's sudden appearance and Liu Yu's high evaluation successfully aroused Guo Jia's competitive spirit. He wanted to see the monsters ranked in the top three in comprehensive strength.

Looking at Guo Jia's suddenly clear eyes, Liu Yu wanted to laugh. There is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. In the world of literati, when encountering a master of the same level, one can't help but want to compete with him.

Liu Yu was somewhat looking forward to the contest of wits between the most outstanding talents of this era.

They won't have any swordplay, but they'll be just as exciting.
