    After exchanging a smile that everyone understood, Sun Ce, who was in a happy mood, sat down on his seat.

    As the intelligence chief, Zhou Yu immediately turned everyone's attention back to business and first said: "Lord! Yuan Shaojun was defeated by the weak Cao Jun!"

    "!" Sun Ce let out a long breath: "Oh, will the battle between Yuan and Cao be concluded so soon? Hey, Cao Cao really defeated Yuan Shao. It seems that Cao Cao's combat methods are really powerful!"

    Guo Jia looked at his lord Sun Ce with some confusion and asked: "My lord, it seems that he already knew that Cao's army will win? But Cao's army has less than 30,000 people, while Yuan's army has nearly 150,000. My lord, are you so sure that Cao's army can win this battle?"  Fight?"

    "Oh! This, this is just a guess, I guessed it randomly, good luck, haha, just good luck!"

    Sun Ce scratched his head in embarrassment when he was suddenly targeted by the sensitive Guo Jia.  Fearing that Guo Jia or others would pursue him, he quickly changed the topic: "Then Cao Jun is busy chasing Yuan Jun at this time, so there must be insufficient troops everywhere!"

    "Exactly, my lord, my subordinates think that we should take advantage of the opportunity and march to Xuzhou immediately." Zhou Yu received it with a smile on his face.

    "There is also Chen Deng, the prefect of Guangling, who has sent a secret envoy to contact our army secretly. He said that when our army marches to Jiangbei, he is willing to be our army's internal correspondent and lead all the soldiers and civilians of Guangling County to surrender to our army!"

    Sun Ce's eyes widened: "Chen Deng wants to surrender? Impossible, right? He is a die-hard member of Cao's army who beat Sun Quan to pieces in history! Including General Lu Fan also ended up like this. How many times Jiangdong Wu's attacks were defeated  He was shattered to pieces.

    How many Jiangdong people died without a burial place because of him.  Without him in Guangling, I'm afraid Cao Cao's territory would not be so stable at all.  This time he was still arranged by Cao Cao in Guangling, but he wanted to surrender to Jiangnan before the war started?  "

    Sun Ce, who was well aware of the direction of history, couldn't help but feel incredible: "It seems that I did not participate in the battle between Jizhou and Yanzhou, so the overall change in the Battle of Guandu was not much. However, Chen Deng's rebellion should be the variable caused by my little butterfly.  Come on!

    In recent years, Guo Jia, Xu Huang, Xu Chu and other powerful figures have joined the Jiangnan Army.  This makes Cao Cao's men far behind in terms of strength compared to history, and these aristocratic families have the keenest sense of crisis.

    I¡¯m afraid this is what aristocratic families love to say: the king chooses his ministers, and the ministers choose their king!  At this time in history, Cao Cao had many soldiers and strong generals.  In addition, after welcoming Emperor Xian and receiving the wholehearted support of Chen Deng and other Xuzhou aristocratic families, it was inevitable.

    But now the emperor is in the hands of Jiangnan Army, and the situation of Cao Army is also precarious.  Then Chen Deng's abandonment of the dark and the bright became theoretically possible.

    But you still have to be cautious about his surrender!  "

    With calculations in his mind, Sun Ce said with great surprise on his face: "It's the best, it's the best! Our army can successfully capture Guangling without losing a single soldier. But after all, Chen Deng truly surrendered.  Still want to surrender!

    Scouts who come into contact with him must proceed with caution!  This Chen Yuanlong is full of clever tricks, and his methods of dealing with the enemy are unparalleled.  We must not let our army fall into his trap of surrender!  Some unnecessary losses occurred!  "

    "Yes! My lord, please rest assured that several experienced military commanders from Spark Camp have been sent to Xuzhou! The one who came into contact with Chen Deng was military commander Xu Gu. This person can be considered young and mature, so there should be no mistakes!

    "But Chen Deng was pitiful when he thought about it. In such a huge city, Guangling, including the servants, had less than 2,000 troops.  This ragtag group of people simply cannot compete with our army. For the long-term consideration of his family, it is inevitable that he has different aspirations in his heart!  "

    Seeing that his explanation made Sun Ce nod with satisfaction, Zhou Yu then continued: "In addition, there is also the military commander Song Ding, who has led hundreds of his subordinates to lurk into Xiabii. Recently, it was also reported that the Mi family was in our army's Jiangnan Tavern.  Seeking interest in contacting us.

    Song Ding is in contact with the second son of the Mi family to discuss some cooperation possibilities!  However, other aristocratic families in Xuzhou did not behave abnormally!  The day before yesterday, Guan Yu, the captain of the military training school, also brought a secret envoy of the Mi family and delivered a letter from Mi Zhu, the head of the Mi family.

    The content of the letter is similar, that is, I want to seek cooperation opportunities with Jiangnan Army in the future!  "

    Guo Jia responded with a smile: "Oh! The Mi family is indeed the number one merchant in Xuzhou. Mi Zhu has a very good vision! It seems that they must have noticed something strange about Chen Deng! This is because they are worried that they are falling behind too much, or maybe they are too far behind.  I accidentally missed it, and I¡¯m trying to do both!¡±

    Having not heard any news from Liu Bei for a long time, Sun Ce suppressed his shock: "Oh, Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang are here too, that's right! His elder brother Liu Bei is the son-in-law of the Mi family, and his third brother is now the leader of our army."It would be most appropriate for him to step in and be the middleman!  "

    He said it calmly but felt worried in his heart: "Could this be Liu Bei's instigation? Can he do something with this?"

    But I think Gongjin has specially arranged for the elite of Spark Camp to conduct personal surveillance.  Now Liu Xuande doesn't have the title of imperial uncle on his head, and he doesn't have any military power in his hands, so he can't do anything big again!  You should be able to rest assured!  "

    As if he came up with it by chance, he asked Zhou Yu lightly: "Hey! Gong Jin! How are you doing, Mr. Xuande now?"

    As the most caring brother who had also participated in the plan to deal with Liu Bei, Zhou Yu certainly understood what Sun Ce wanted to know.

    He immediately responded: "Xuan Degong is a promising elder, and his subordinates respect him very much. He is now very conscientious in his official position and has made great contributions to the development of farmland and water conservancy in the south of the Yangtze River. My subordinates think that  This position is most suitable for Mr. Xuande!"

    "Oh! That's good! However, our army pays attention to fairness, and we cannot let Mr. Xuande's hard work go without corresponding rewards! Gongjin, since Mr. Xuande is very suitable for this kind of position, let him  Be responsible for the country¡¯s agricultural and water conservancy!¡±

    Now that the New Deal has begun to be implemented, it is impossible for a civilian official to control military power no matter how big his position is.  Sun Ce was no longer as eager and focused on Liu Bei's prevention and suppression as before.

    ¡° Letting a talented person who might have become an emperor serve as the Minister of Agriculture is not a waste of talent.  In addition, his two sworn brothers Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who were originally his biggest helpers, are also in their respective posts and are busy all year round and cannot be by his side.

    Unless he, Liu Bei, is obsessed and blatantly wants to overthrow the emperor's rule.  But without soldiers in his hands, how could Liu Bei have any chance of success?  If Captain Mojin had succeeded in assassinating him, Liu Bei, a great man, would have had a chance to take advantage of the chaos and succeed.

    But now, facing the increasingly stable rule of the Jiangnan Army, no one can defend a single point.  Regarding his brother's arrangement, Zhou Yu naturally accepted the order unconditionally: "Yes, my subordinates will inform the staff of the arrangements later! Let's promote Mr. Xuande to the rank of chief agricultural officer!"

    Although it is said that the Six Ministries and the imperial examination have been officially implemented.  However, it must be only the first year, and the number of officials recruited is insufficient, and the number of county officials in various places has not yet been fully dispatched.  Besides, there are exceptions to everything.

    In this case, no one wanted to make any objections to the senior officials appointed by Sun Ce himself.

    "Well, that's very good. But Mr. Xuande is an important talent after all, so we can't relax our protection of Mr. Xuande!"

    At Zhou Yu's promise, Guo Jia's eyes flashed with a strange light: "Haha! The master and Gong Jin's methods are becoming more and more sophisticated, Mr. Xuande! The ambitious Xuzhou Mu in those days can only  I can retire in the countryside!

    This arrangement can eliminate dissidents in a calm manner.  It can also let everyone in the world know that as long as the talents in the Jiangnan Army can do their best and perform their duties.  Thinking that Xuande Gong was a talented man who could be the shepherd of a state, how could he only be good at farming?

    In addition, Gong Jin specially arranged for the heavy protection of many elites in the Spark Camp.  It will only take ten years at most. Duke Xuande is getting older, and no matter how talented he is, he will only be lost to everyone!  This is another generation of heroes!  "

    Unaware of the strange feeling in the heart of his most valued subordinate, Guo Jijiu, Sun Ce smiled and said, "It seems that our General Guan is also a little lonely! Gong Jin, our Lord Liu Yao went to Yizhou and heard that Yizhou  There are some changes among the barbarians in the southern part of the state.

    Liu Yao is not good at military affairs. How about letting our General Guan serve as General Pingchuan and take charge?  hehe!  "

    No one knows why the lord Sun Ce chuckled inexplicably at arranging an insignificant general.

    Only Sun Ce, who was smiling to himself, understood in his heart: "Historically, our mighty General Guan, who is so powerful in China, has never been to Yizhou in his life, and always fights alone outside. Let me let you realize your wish in this life!"

    Although it is still a person¡¯s struggle.  But in this life, at least you will not be despised by Lu Xun and Lu Meng who join forces to kill you.  "

    Zhou Yu said matter-of-factly: "Yes! The recruitment training in Shu County is now coming to an end. General Guan is a very talented general and can indeed stand alone. His subordinates also believe that his visit to Yizhou can completely deter the barbarians.  Necessary role!¡±

    With the arrangement of these two brothers singing and harmonizing like this, Guan Yu's going to Yizhou is basically a certainty.  Since Guo Jia and others are well aware of the meaning contained in it, they are even less likely to object to such an arrangement.

    What's more, the only one who really speaks in the Jiangnan Army is Zhang Fei, who is not in the hall.  No one would want to help this outdated Master Zhou Mu and his brothers to say anything about their love.  Besides, everyone is looking for promotion.Ren, what else can I say?

    ¡°I¡¯m afraid that being aggressive will only make people annoying.  All the counselors unanimously praised Sun Ce's arrangement, and for a while the meeting hall was filled with the wise voice of the lord.

    Three days later, the three Liu Bei brothers reunited in Jinling City after a long absence.

    At this moment, Liu Bei, who was now the chief agricultural officer, had a calm expression on his face. He sat on the main seat of the three brothers and raised his glass to the rosy-faced Guan Yu.

    Smiling and toasting: "Yun Chang, I would like to offer you a glass of Zhuangxing wine as a brother! This time, Governor Meng, you and I have been promoted! If you can do something to pacify the local area in Yizhou, your future achievements will be inevitable.  It won¡¯t be bad!¡±

    Zhang Fei on the side had a gloomy face, but he just kept silent and drank with his eldest brother and second brother.

    After finishing a glass of wine, Liu Bei said to Guan Yu: "It's just that we are going to Xichuan. The mountains are high and the road is far away. From now on, my brother and Yide will not be with you. You must take good care of yourself! You must remember that my brother and sister-in-law will both be together."  Thinking of you!"

    When Liu Bei said sister-in-law, even with Guan Yu's red face, it was obvious that his face turned red again.  But no one knew whether it was because of the shame deep in his heart or because of the intoxicating drunkenness.

    Before Guan Yu, who was three-quarters nervous and seven-quarters embarrassed, could answer, Liu Bei, who was also feeling drunk, said to himself: "Today's farewell, I'm afraid it won't be difficult for you and me to say goodbye without three to five years."  We meet! Alas!"

    When I was sighing, I suddenly heard a loud bang and a crash, and saw the black-faced Zhang Fei crushing a bench next to him.

    He yelled angrily: "Brother, second brother, I'll go find that Sun Bofu to explain why he sent our second brother to that remote and wild place!"

    *Remember Niupipi Academy¡¯s fastest and latest text version update*Correct URL

    The concern from his brothers warmed Guan Yu's heart.  As the elder brother, Liu Bei hurriedly shouted: "Shut up, Yide! When will you calm down your reckless temper? What's wrong with Yun Chang! It's a good time for Yun Chang to go to Xichuan to make contributions.

    Is it possible that if you have the opportunity to send troops to fight and make meritorious deeds, you will have to watch Yun Chang guarding a group of new soldiers and have to die an ordinary life?

    If it weren¡¯t for Yunchang¡¯s injuries that hadn¡¯t fully recovered, my brother would have already written to the Governor to seek a future for Yunchang.  Now that the Jiangnan Army has pacified most of the Han Dynasty, there are not many places where there is fighting.

    My brother is no longer interested in military affairs.  I just want to be able to do farm work for the emperor and the people of the world, and produce more food for the people, and I will have no regrets in my life.

    You are so rude and want to question the Governor.  I'm afraid that not only will it harm you, but it will also harm Yunchang!  Don't forget that Yun Chang is General Pingchuan who received the imperial edict!  Do you still want Yunchang to disobey orders and be called a traitor?  You are so confused!  "

    Zhang Fei, who was originally aggrieved that his three brothers wanted to separate, immediately lost his arrogance after being scolded by his eldest brother.  He laughed a little sarcastically: "Second brother, this is not what I meant! I just thought that Sun Ce was uneasy and well-intentioned!"

    "You! Yide, your pictures of beauties are pretty good, but you still need to read more books to cultivate your character! Nowadays, Qunxian Pavilion has published so many new books, there will always be some that can impress you!"

    Guan Yu, who was well aware of his brother's temper, smiled and said without mind: "From now on, you must take care of our eldest brother on your behalf. Don't let others bully our three sworn brothers in Taoyuan!"

    After hearing the instructions from his second brother Guan Yu, Zhang Fei nodded naively and said: "Second brother, don't worry, I will do my best! But our eldest brother now occupies the official position of a first-grade agricultural minister. His rank is much higher than ours.  , I¡¯m afraid I still don¡¯t know who will take care of whom?¡±

    Regarding Guan Yu¡¯s request to study, Zhang Fei just answered the question in an evasive manner.  It's enough to make him paint with all his heart, but then let him sit upright like his second brother every day.  If you concentrate on reading those classic books that make your head as big as a bucket, it will really kill you.

    Guan Yu, who was well aware of his temper, knew that his words of persuasion were once again ignored by his third brother.  He could only look at each other with his eldest brother Liu Bei, smile bitterly and shake his head.  Anyway, with Lao San¡¯s ability, he doesn¡¯t need to rely on books to get promoted and make a fortune.  I gave up the idea of ??persuading him again.

    Looking at the wry smiles and silly smiles of the two brothers, Liu Bei had a smile on his face, but he was miserable in his heart: "My two brothers, who were sworn brothers with you back then, don't think their goal is just to be a great farmer without military power?  If it were Da Sima, it would be more or less the same!

    It¡¯s a pity that God doesn¡¯t bless me!  Good luck and bad luck.  But it was the ambition and pride that made me turn into clouds and smoke all over the sky as the three brothers went their separate ways, blown away by the wind!  In order not to inconvenience you and others, I can't show off my words at all.

    Scattered my three brothers,They are sent to distant places and cannot meet together.  He also sent many guards to guard my side.  This Sun Bofu is basically on strict guard against me. Can he really know the unwilling thoughts in my heart?

    Why else would other high-ranking officials only bring their servants and servants with them.  Haven't you ever sent such elite soldiers to protect you?  Oh, God!  Why do you treat me like this!  If we already have preparations, how can we make plans?

    "Could it be that I, Liu Bei, really have no choice but to die of old age in the wilderness of this field?"  How unfair is destiny!  "

    Although Liu Bei was full of complaints, he still pretended to have a natural smile and Zhang Fei's no-holds-barred farewell smile.  A year and a half after Guan Yu put down the Qinglong Yanyue Sword, he once again mounted the divine horse.  Heading towards a new journey that only belongs to him.

    From then on, Liu Bei, who was busy in the fields and repairing rivers and water conservancy, never had the chance to pick up his former heroic ambitions.  Decades of traveling around the countryside allowed him to successfully play the role of Wang Mang who failed to usurp the throne.

    Just as the poem goes, when Wang Mang was respectful and humble, the Han people were deeply favored by Liu Bei.  I only know that there is a great farmer who is the most approachable in the world and has brought great benefits to everyone's farming, mulberry and irrigation.

    And even if there are some grievances that cannot be resolved by local officials, they can be perfectly resolved through Da Si Nong.  Liu Bei is still loved by all people in the world.  He was even called the most lovable person in the world after Shennong by the people.

    Until Liu Bei finally died of illness while serving as Da Sinong.  When Liu Bei was buried, all the people paid tribute to him, and when they bid farewell to this great man who dedicated his life to the people of the world, no one knew about the thoughts of hegemony in his heart that could never be realized.

    Except for Sun Ce, who knew what Liu Bei could achieve under the right conditions, he left him with a faint sigh.  Liu Bei, who has been dealing with food all his life, was given the title of Grain God among the people!

    Generations of farmers who have been farming have worshiped this god as their own protector.

    But Sun Ce, who sent Liu Bei away, knew in his heart: "In this world, there was once a man who had the talent to be the emperor of the world, and he proved his unparalleled ability from another angle!

    The essence of gold will not change, it will shine wherever it goes!  "
