Empress Wu Lie 24

The little emperor gave Sun Ce such an edict, and he simply handed it over to Zhang Hong to take it back.Although it seems not so solemn, but no courtier is willing to go to Yangzhou.

That is to pass through the military friction zone of Zhang Xiu, Liu Biao, and Yuan Shu.

For the courtiers, whether Liu Yao will be the governor of Yangzhou or not has little to do with them.Anyway, when Liu Yao was famous as the governor of Yangzhou, he was first occupied by Yuan Shu in Shouchun.In this way, the governor of Yangzhou cannot be guarded for the imperial court. Giving him that title is better than giving it to Sun Ce, who is "enthusiasm" for the emperor and courtiers.

It is best that Sun Ce can subdue Yuan Shu and let the whole Yangzhou return to the time of listening to the court's call.

This is what some courtiers thought.

Some old ministers mentioned Sun Jian in front of the little emperor.If Yuan Shu hadn't cut off Sun Jian's food and grass at the beginning, maybe the emperor wouldn't need Xishou for so long.

Sun Jian actively contributed to the crusade against Dong Zhuo, and his loyalty and ability are known to many people.Along with Sun Ce's gift, what was constantly mentioned by Zhang Hong and deepened his impression was the origin of Sun Jian's General Polu.

Now that Sun Ce is doing things so well, not only is he thoughtful of the emperor and his wife, but also the other important officials around the little emperor Liu Xie have more or less received very practical gifts from Sun Ce.

Zhang Hong kept explaining to people because the journey was not safe and he couldn't bring too many things with him.But Sun Ce's full sincerity, Zhang Hong made everyone feel it.

For Cao Cao, who also received a gift from Sun Ce, it would be perfect if the bamboo paper did not include the article criticizing him for digging his grave.

Zhang Hong was very embarrassed to explain Cao Cao's request.

"Lord Sikong, when we bought bamboo paper, we discussed it with the store. The store asked for ten sheets of paper with one article, otherwise it would not be sold to us."

Well, Cao Cao pinched his nose and accepted this explanation.But I wanted to ask Zhang Hong: After you buy them back, can't you take them out one by one and send them out?

If Zhang Hong knew that he thought so, he would definitely tell him in his heart that we did it by clipping every ten sheets of paper. Oops, counting the clipped papers is exhausting.

When Zhang Hong came to Luoyang to give gifts to Cao Cao this time, he followed Mrs. Wu's wishes and asked to see Xun Yu, but Cao Cao regretfully told Zhang Hong that Xun Yu did not come with him.He stayed in Yanzhou to take charge of political affairs.

Zhang Hong handed over the gift for Xun Yu to Cao Cao and asked Cao Cao's client to deliver it.

Sun Ce received the title of Inspector of Yangzhou, and happily sent letters to the prefects of the prefectures of Yangzhou, and then specially informed Liu Xun, the prefect of Lujiang County, Chen Ji, the prefect of Jiujiang County appointed by Yuan Shu, and Hui Qu, the governor of Yangzhou appointed by Yuan Shu. They went to Qu'alai, their own government office.

It doesn't matter if you don't come, the person who sent the letter said, "Wu Hou is the governor of Yangzhou appointed by the emperor, and has the right to appoint the prefects of all counties in Yangzhou."

This made Huiqu very embarrassed.

He was the governor of Yangzhou appointed by Yuan Shu. After the appointment of Liu Yao, the imperial court appointed Sun Ce as the governor of Yangzhou.well!Huiqu was very helpless, so he went to see Sun Ce by himself, what would he say?He hurried to see Yuan Shu, told Yuan Shu about the matter, and let Yuan Shu make up his mind.

Yuan Shu was very dissatisfied. Did Sun Ce want to slap himself in the face?

But he also understood that the courtiers used the edict to confer Sun Ce as the governor of Yangzhou to express their dissatisfaction with not granting Liu Yao a birthday in the past. On a deeper level, he wanted to make himself and Sun Ce confront each other and fight to the death. It is obvious and obvious.

But should we go to war with Sun Ce?Who can beat Sun Ce?Is it better to take Xuzhou first or Sun Ce first?

At the beginning, Yuan Shu wanted to use Wu Jing and Sun Ben to beat Liu Yao away, but he failed after several years of confrontation.Sun Ce joined the battle against Qu'a, and beat Liu Yao away within half a year.

Yuan Shu asked the counselors and generals under his account for their opinions.

Qiao Rui came out first and said: "Bofu's governor of Yangzhou was appointed by the emperor. Now that the emperor has not yet taken charge of the court, Cao Mengde is going to Luoyang. General Yimo thinks that it is likely that Cao Mengde wants to provoke the general to fight with Bofu. You have to take advantage of Xuzhou."

If others say this, Yuan Shu will really believe it, and he himself thinks so.But who is Qiao Rui?Sun Ce's father-in-law.Can he not speak to his son-in-law?

Qiao Rui didn't want to start a war with his son-in-law.

Yuan Shu put Qiao Rui's words aside.

It's not good for others to suggest to Yuan Shu to beat Sun Ce in front of Qiao Rui.Qiao Rui has followed Yuan Shu for many years and is Yuan Shu's confidant.Moreover, the imperial court appointed Sun Ce as the

Yuan Shu superstitiously believed in the life talisman offered by Zhang Jiong, a grand official, and thought that he was destined by heaven, so he proclaimed himself emperor in Shouchun (now Shouxian County, Anhui Province) and called himself "Zhongjia".Take Jiujiang Taishou as Huainan Yin, set up public officials and hundreds of officials, worship heaven and earth according to the emperor's rites, and ascend to the throne of the emperor. .
