Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

During the Chinese New Year, Mrs. Wu tried her best to persuade Sun Ce not to lead the army anymore. The reason was that Liu Biao was a model in governing Jingzhou, and Yuan Shao occupied Jizhou and other four states.

"Bo Fu, if you position yourself as an ordinary vanguard officer who can conquer cities and territories, it makes sense for you to actively go to various places. But now you have ten counties in your name, and what you have to do now is to conquer Find the right talents and manage these ten counties like Qu'a."

Mrs. Wu showed Sun Ce the simple geomancy map of the late Eastern Han Dynasty that she dug out of her original box.

"Bofu, you see that this area originally belonged to Jingzhou, and now you have it all in your hands. Do you also miss the rest of Wuling Lord, Hengyang County, Xiangdong County, Lingling County, and Guiyang County?" What about it? If you attack these places this year, Liu Biao will risk his life to confront you."

Sun Ce looked at the geomancy map in his mother's hand, took it and found that the names of the counties were all embroidered with silk thread.

"Aniang, where did this come from?" Sun Ce asked curiously.

"You Aunt got it from Luoyang Palace in the past."

Sun Ce stroked the outline outlined by the silk thread on the silk, raised his face and asked Mrs. Wu solemnly.

"A Weng got a jade seal from the palace in the past, but is it true?"

Mrs. Wu shook her head, "Dong Zhuo left Luoyang calmly with the little emperor and millions of people in Luoyang. Your old man was blocked by Lu Bu when he entered Luoyang. The Luoyang waiting for him to enter was ruined, empty, hundreds of people If there are no ruins of fireworks, where will there be jade seals left for him to obtain."

Sun Ce was silent for a while and then asked: "What about the jade seal in Yuan Gonglu's hand? Is it fake? He made people say that the jade seal in his hand is the five-colored jade seal that A Weng got from the palace in the past."

"Oh, you. Bo Fu, when your father came back from Luoyang, you were already older than Zhong Mou (Sun Quan's character). If there is such a treasure as the jade seal, why would you Aunt not tell you. You already knew what he got. The outside world said that we were all in the hands of Yuan Gonglu, and your father had to use the jade seal to return us. You don’t need to pay attention. Yuan Shu said that he had the jade seal, which proved to be orthodox. Don't bother with your jade seal, it's useless."

Sun Ce was dubious.

Mrs. Wu had no choice but to continue to explain: "Qin Shihuang ordered people to carve the jade seal of the country. If you really have it, you can prove that you are orthodox. How can Peigong win the world and establish the Han Dynasty?! Wang Mang usurped In the Han Dynasty, he also got the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, but is he orthodox who was ordered by heaven? Using a dead object to prove his orthodoxy is because of his improper background and lack of confidence in his heart, so he did the superfluous thing .”

Sun Ce was stunned by Mrs. Wu's words, which seemed to make sense, but he felt that something was still covered.

"Bofu, what is orthodox? It is all determined by people. At the beginning of the world, Yao, Shun and Yu were all abdicated, and the virtuous lived there, and then they were entrusted as their own. This world has become private. From Xia to Shang From the Zhou Dynasty to the Qin and Han Dynasties, the latter took it from the former by force. The emperor lost his virtue and could not stabilize the court, so what's the use of having a jade seal."

"Wait, mother, you said that the latter got it from the former by force? Doesn't that mean whoever has the strongest force will win the world?"

Mrs. Wu nodded, "That force is not simply 'wu'. I said in the past that you would avenge your father, do you remember?"

"My son remembers. A Niang said that the murderer was not Huang Zu."

Sun Ce replied with great difficulty, "It's not Yuan Shu or Liu Biao."

Madam Wu nodded. "You just remember. Back then, your father fought bravely against the thirteen princes, but in the early days of his army, he beheaded Wang Rui, the governor of Jingzhou, and then Zhang Zi, the prefect of Nanjun. Even Dong Zhuo was in Luoyang and Chang'an. He did not dare to kill officials at the same level and superiors so recklessly. What he did did offended the scholar-bureaucrats who built the entire court. Because that was not the era when the commoner Pei Gong appeared at the end of the Qin Dynasty. He violated the taboo with martial arts, and finally had to take refuge under Yuan Shu's sect to seek protection, and the price was to become Yuan Shu's pawn."

Wu Fu spoke slowly and seriously, leaving Sun Ce sufficient time to react.Seeing that Sun Ce basically understood, he stroked the lines that constitute the map, pointed to Jingzhou occupied by Liu Biao, and Huainan occupied by Yuan Shu, and continued to talk.

"The Han Dynasty was declining, and the feudal lords were fighting for hegemony. Yuan Shu, as the son of the fourth generation and the third lord of the Yuan family, had private thoughts of trying to dominate the Han Dynasty, but Yuan Shao in the north did not want him to become bigger, so he was trapped in Nanyang County. There were three forms for Yuan Shao at that time. Choice. The first is to go north to fight for Jizhou and Yanzhou. He and Gongsun Zan joined forces to attack Yuan Shao. This is the idea. Yuan Shao used long-distance and short-range attacks to form an alliance with Liu Biao to break the deadlock of being flanked by Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shu. This choice was blocked. Died. The second is to go south to capture Jingzhou, and then slowly manage the rich Jingzhou for the world. Your father's death caused him to lose an excellent general. He still failed to win Jingzhou after many years of confrontation with Liu Biao and Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew. The third is to go east to fight for Yangzhou. But Liu Yao and Chen Bing are on the banks of the Yangtze River, and he has been helpless for several years."

"So A Niang said that Yuan Shu is not a man of great character?"

"Yes. He didn't take the place that should be in his hands within the limited time. He missed the opportunity. He let Liu Biao manage Jingzhou as solid as gold; let Yuan Shao become powerful in the north and occupy the four states; this gave you a chance to grow up. You, A Weng, have great ambitions. You see, in just a few years, you have acquired the ten counties in the east, which he failed to do. Yuan Shu separated the nobles and cold The boundaries of the clan are too important, and they are only limited to the immediate ones. When you went to Shouchun in the past, Aniang was worried that he would accept the marriage contract and turn you into his pawn again."

Sun Ce smiled and nodded to admit that what A Niang said was right, if he married Yuan Shu's eldest daughter, he would have to go through the same fate as A Weng and serve as Yuan Shu's pawn.

"Aniang, thanks to Yuan Gonglu's short-sightedness, his son has the freedom he has today."

Mrs. Wu laughed, "Yuan Gonggong has limited vision and limited ability, and he still claims to be emperor in vain. Just look at it, Cao Mengde is leading the army to fight for Xuzhou. Once Cao Mengde kills Lu Fengxian and wins Xuzhou, he will definitely ask the emperor for an order with him. You and Liu Biao joined forces to destroy Yuan Shu."

Sun Ce turned his eyes and looked at the states on the Kanyu map, thinking about whether he should cooperate with Cao Cao to destroy Yuan Shu.In his heart, no matter what his mother said, Yuan Shu still had to take responsibility for his father's death, even Liu Biao.They intrigued with each other and made long-distance and close-range attacks, and in the end it was their own father's life that was filled in.

He too remembered the panic in his heart at that time.

But when is the best time to step in?We have to find a time to maximize the benefits that Aniang said.

"Aniang, next year my son will stay in Qu'a according to your suggestion, Zibu and Zigang's suggestion, and he will be injured by excuses. When Liu Biao and Cao Cao cooperate to deal with Yuan Shu, my son wants to take the opportunity to take Jingzhou. As for the Yangzhou that Yuan Shu now occupies Some, including the Yuzhou part, it is easy to get Guangling and Lujiang counties by sending troops from Danyang County. After occupying the southeast, we will go out slowly."

"Okay, it's fine if you have your own ideas. You don't have to worry, the competition in the Central Plains is not something that can be accomplished in ten or eight years. These people are basically the same age as your father. And you have just reached the championship. You are invincible by playing steadily and not rushing to success or failure."

"Okay, my son is not in a hurry, just listen to my mother."

Sun Ce picked up the Kanyu map, "Mother, give this to my son."

Mrs. Wu smiled, "You can take it. Oh yes, you asked Qin Wenbiao to redeem your father-in-law, is there any news?"

Seeing his mother ask about his father-in-law, Sun Ce felt very embarrassed.Qin Song sent back the news that Lu Bu happily took the things and released him, but Qiao Rui didn't want to turn to him, and wanted to go back to Yuan Shu.

"Qin Wenbiao came back with the news that he still has to go to see Yuan Gonglu. Wenbiao had no choice but to accompany him there."

Such a result was unexpected by Sun Ce.

"Go and have a look. If Yuan Gonglu can continue to use him, it's because of their friendship. It's enough for you to do your best."

"Yes. But my son spent a lot of money. Those two prostitutes cost almost a hundred stones."

Although Sun Ce has a lot of money and food in his hands, he has to calculate for the population of these ten counties, and he feels heartbroken if he spends a little more.

"Look at you, that's Da Qiao's Aunt. If Gong Jin came forward, wouldn't you be willing to give up the hundred stones?"

"Aniang, the only thing my son can bear is that he will feel uncomfortable after he leaves. I don't know where I can save it."

Mrs. Wu was amused by Sun Ce's truth.

After talking with Sun Ce for a long time, and getting the statement that Sun Ce will stay in Qu'a next year, Mrs. Wu put her heart back to her stomach for the time being.Watching Sun Ce lead the army to kill all day long, and encounter four murders in one year, it really makes people worry about him.

And Liu Xie, the little emperor in Luoyang, is preparing for the happiest Spring Festival in these years.

After Cao Cao got the emperor's will, he left Luoyang with his [-] troops.Taking Xuzhou has become Cao Cao's heart disease. Since the princes can't do it by coercing the emperor, let's take Xuzhou first.

Judging by the current appearance of the little emperor, he doesn't want to go anywhere, and no one can persuade him not to go.No matter who insists on it, he has to follow Dong Zhuo's example. .
