Taishici's wedding was very simple. He picked up Ma Yunli and Du Wenqian from Sun Ce's boat, then invited some neighbors to have a meal. Three days later, Liu He sent someone to pick up the two girls back, and it was over.

After arranging the family affairs, Taishi Ci boarded Sun Ce's boat without distraction, set sail, and headed straight for Youzhou to take up his post.

Jian Yong participated in the whole process and was envious. He was in his thirties and had never encountered such a good thing for so many years with Liu Bei. It cannot be blamed for Liu Bei. Liu Bei himself has not found a suitable one, let alone them.

Comparing people with others is so annoying.

Sun Ce started from Donglai and crossed the Bohai Strait along some islands. Three days later, he was at the port in Daxian County, Liaodong. This road is the smoothest sea route between Qingzhou and Liaodong. Jian Yong had never walked, but he often heard people talk about it. Sun Ce ordered to stop in Daxian for a few days, because of waiting for the wind. Jian Yong didn't think too much about it. Long-distance sailing mainly depends on sails, otherwise the speed would be too slow and the physical strength of the Ji Zhuoshi could not support it. This is the disadvantage of sea transportation. Not only the navy, but also the merchant ships. Jian Yong traveled several times and had already understood it.

But what he didn't understand was that in addition to waiting for the wind, Sun Ce had some things to do.

As soon as the ship landed, Mi Fang and Gongsun Xu led their troops to get off the ship. There were knights waiting on the shore, leading them to rush away and soon disappeared behind the mountains. Immediately afterwards, Shen You led the infantry to land. The generals of Taishi Ci, Gan Ning, Ling Cao, and Yan Baihu all commanded the headquarters, with a total of more than 10,000 people. They drove and rushed straight to Da County.

Jian Yong did not see this scene. He was invited by Sun Ce to chat in the cabin. He didn't understand why Sun Ce was so interested. He didn't sleep at night and chatted with him. Night fell, and through the porthole, the harbor was filled with warships, and the signal lights on the masts merged into the night, like stars. The night was calm and peaceful, and there was no sign of anything unusual.

"Xianhe, what do you think of Gongsun Du?"

Jian Yong thought for a while and shook his head. "Please forgive me for your sins. I am not familiar with him and dare not make comments."

Sun Ce picked up a walnut with a slight force on his fingers. The walnut made a slight sound and cracked into several pieces. The peach kernel inside was intact. Sun Ce picked up a piece and put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly. "Xianhe, don't be polite, I heard that this thing can nourish the brain."

Jian Yong picked up a piece, held it in the palm of his hand, and squeezed it hard, but his strength was not as strong as Sun Ce, and Taoren also broke it. Jian Yong joked: "With the wisdom of the king and the lord, do you still need to replenish your brain?"

Sun Ce smiled bitterly. "Xianhe, don't make fun of me, it's hard for me to be a tiger. It sounds very powerful. But who will listen to me? Take Youzhou for example. Zhang Ze has not sent anyone to contact me until now. Xuande has sent you here, but you know what you are thinking. Gongsun Du is not much better. I sent someone to Xiangping to discuss with him, wanting to change him to another county so that no one will criticize him, but he ignores me at all. Look, I have all arrived in Daxian County, and he doesn't even have a messenger, let alone welcome him in a kin. Controlling the eight states? This is just a joke."

Jian Yong was a little embarrassed, but pretended to be nothing. "Where is Junhou going to change Gongsun Du?"

"He is from Xiangping and cannot be the prefect of Liaodong according to the system. I want to switch him to Lelang." Sun Ce picked up another walnut. "Prefect Zhang Qi, are you familiar with Lelang?"

Jian Yong's heart moved. "I know a little bit about it. He was from Qinghe, Jizhou, and an old official of the Yuan family. When Yuan Shao wanted to make Liu Yu the emperor, he also had a share."

Sun Ce laughed. "It seems that Xian and the news are still well-informed. Yes, this Zhang Qi is Yuan Shao and Liu Yu's party. If Yuan Shao and Liu Yu are dead and the court also announced Yuan Shao's crimes, how could Zhang Qi be free? Since I am in accordance with the imperial edict, I can't ignore it. So I plan to transfer Gongsun Du to the prefect of Lelang and arrest Zhang Qi for being punished. I kill two birds with one stone, right?"

Jian Yong smiled and shook his head. Sun Ce took it for granted. It was almost the same to deceive the child. Gongsun Du would not believe it, and of course Jian Yong would not believe it either. However, it is not a bad thing for Sun Ce and Gongsun Du to go to war. As long as the fight starts, he will not be able to take care of Liu Bei and Yuan Tan in the short term.

"Gongsun Du has always been arrogant and used to being rampant in Liaodong. He has never seen the methods of the king and the prince. It is normal not to know that the sky is high and the earth is thick."

Sun Ce glanced at Jian Yong and smiled with a tilted mouth. "I treat you as a friend, you treat me as a fool. Jian Xianhe, it's a bit unkind to do this."

Jian Yong laughed. "Only a fool can treat Junhou as a fool. Junhou, am I like a fool?"

Sun Ce smiled and said, "Something, otherwise why would you follow Liu Xuande and go all the way to the darkness? Don't tell me about the friendship between fellow countrymen, I don't believe it. Xianhe, I have invited you before, but it's still the same now. As long as you want, I welcome you at any time. Jiang Gan has worked so hard, and I have always wanted to find someone to help him share some responsibilities."

Jian Yong blinked his eyes and seemed to be smiling. It would be a scam to say that he was not moved. He knew very well what Jiang Gan treated under Sun Ce's command, and it was definitely not comparable to him. But no matter how he was moved, he could not agree. Liu Bei had no regrets. If he betrayed Liu Bei, even if Sun Ce didn't care, others would despise him. Even if he wanted to switch to Sun Ce, he had to choose better opportunities, not as he did now.

"June, isn't it a bit unkind to do this?"

"It's impolite to come but not come. Hahaha..." Sun Ce laughed a few times and said seriously: "But my invitation is from the heart, Xianhe should not be suspicious. In fact, I admire not only you, including Xuande, otherwise I wouldn't have kept him at the beginning. We are all poor families, and we should have supported each other, pacified the world together, and shared wealth. However, Xuande's ambitions are lofty, and I can't stop him, right? After you go back, you tell him, when will he change his mind? I welcome him at any time. Two thousand stones are indispensable. I think he is still competent as a prefect."

Jian Yong did not argue. Although Sun Ce's words were a bit arrogant, he agreed with Sun Ce's words. Liu Bei was the ability of a prefect of a county. He didn't have the ability to command a state. But Liu Bei didn't think so. If he was satisfied with the prefect of a county, he would not have reached this point.

"I will definitely tell Xuande."

"Um."

Sun Ce and Jian Yong had a chat without a word. Just like friends, there was no specific topic, and they were just about wherever they were. Jian Yong enjoyed this atmosphere very much. He was an aide around Liu Bei, and his clothes looked like a Confucian scholar, but he was not a real scholar. The reason he followed Liu Bei was because he could talk to Liu Bei, and now he found that he could talk to Sun Ce even more. He and Liu Bei had just similar personalities, but he was like Sun Ce. Both of them liked to joke, and they could make jokes and often made fun of themselves. At this point, Liu Bei was far inferior to Sun Ce. Liu Bei liked to joke about others, but he was a person who could not make jokes.

Jian Yong and Sun Ce chatted very late and had a great time. They didn't say goodbye until midnight. He had a dream, dreaming that he persuaded Liu Bei to surrender to Sun Ce, and from then on became Sun Ce's envoy, like Jiang Gan, attacking the city and plundering the land with a perfect tongue, and making merits and becoming a marquis. On the day of his title, he was happy, laughing loudly, turning over and sitting up, and realizing that it was a beautiful dream.
