Gan Mei was silent, as quiet as a white jade beauty.

Sun Ce was quite surprised. He thought that even if Gan Mei would not be as happy as Huang Ying, she would at least express her joy. She never expected that she would react like this.

"dislike?"

Gan Mei sighed softly. "The king condescends his power and gives me enough face. I naturally like it. But the people of Danyang live with the barbarians, and have always only known for being brave and ruthless, and do not understand the great principles of Chinese clothing. They are afraid that they cannot understand the king's ambition to build a fortune for thousands of years. They think that the king is unable to overcome his strength, and is strong on the outside and has a superficial appearance, and will be lazy. If they think that the king is short of military strength and wants to go to Danyang to recruit soldiers, they don't know what stupid things they can say. Although I am not agile, I don't want to see the villagers making a fool of themselves and making laughs, so I worry."

Sun Ce's eyebrows raised lightly and laughed silently. Although Gan Mei didn't say much, she was a person who knew the general. She said this very tactfully but also thoroughly, not only reminded her, but also did not hurt his face. During this period, he was indeed a little arrogant and unscrupulous, and was seen by Gan Mei.

"Don't worry, I know how to face them." Sun Ce gently hugged Gan Mei's shoulder. "I don't even care about the emperor and Yuan Shao, and will I be looked down upon by them?"

"This is natural." Gan Mei lowered her head and pursed her lips and smiled slightly. "It's a pity that only heroes can recognize heroes. There are too few people in the world who can recognize the king. Yuan Shao was called the leader of the alliance, and Xun Yu was called the king's master in vain, and he didn't know the king, let alone the people of the border of Danyang. Fortunately, the king was magnanimous and would not care about them, otherwise he would not know how many heads he would cut."

Sun Ce couldn't help laughing, sweeping away the depressed, full of energy, and showing his generosity. His cheerful and loud laughter attracted the soldiers on the boat, and many people looked over. Sun Ce was calm and looked at him, but Gan Mei was a little shy, broke free from Sun Ce's arms and hurried back to the cabin. Sun Ce was a little disappointed, waved his hand, ordered the soldiers to return to their place, patted the railings, and savored what Gan Mei had just said, and was a little ridiculous.

How can a sparrow know the ambition of a swan? Why do you care about what the chickens for food in the grass think about it?

"The phoenix is ​​striking in the nine heavens, and the domineering atmosphere is revealed." Guo Jia shook his feather fan, turned out from behind, walked slowly to Sun Ce, bowed his hand, and said with a smile: "It is better for the king to smile more, otherwise I will be embarrassed to joke around."

Sun Ce smiled and shook his head. He also knew that he was under too much pressure during this period, and everyone around him was affected, so he dared not be too arrogant, and the atmosphere was somewhat depressing. "He has great ambitions and talent, and has little virtue, so he has to be trembling." He is telling the truth. As time goes by, while gradually integrating into this era, facing the elites of this era, he is indeed a little timid with insufficient IQ balance. Guo Jia is his confidant, and he is best at observing his face and color. He can't hide it from him. The best way is to hide it from both true and false.

"The king is humble. He is brave and timid, and wise and ignorant. It is not something that is easy to understand by fools." Guo Jia shook the feather fan, half true and half false. "I claim to be wise, and I have also practiced precepts, concentration and wisdom. I know the king's ambitions. I often feel that the king is free and unattainable."

Sun Ce couldn't help laughing. "Precautions, concentration and wisdom? I think you haven't even practiced precepts well, so concentration and wisdom are even more out of reach."

Guo Jia laughed and raised his hand. "The next life is vague, and I will practice this life. There are too many precepts for Futu. I asked myself that I don't have that concentration, but it is more practical to practice the room. I have already quit drinking. If I quit sex again, wouldn't it be a waste of life? As for Futu, just talk about it, don't take it seriously."

Sun Ce's heart moved slightly, knowing that Guo Jia was definitely not talking nonsense, but was definitely inspired. He was right next door, and naturally heard what he and Yu Fan said. "Do you think so?"

"How dare you talk to the king in front of the king? I have read the "Prajna Sutra" several times, but I feel it is not new. After all, I can't come from the Confucian and Taoist studies. According to my opinion, although this Futu is profound and inspiring, it is not as clear as Zhuangzi. In addition, there are not many people who can tolerate the rules and precepts, so the king doesn't have to take it to heart." Guo Jia chuckled, squeezed his eyes, and whispered: "When Yan Fu comes, the king might as well ask him if he keeps the precepts, and you will know the truth."

Sun Ce understood and nodded in agreement. Although he was not sure how many precepts the Futu Sect now has, Guo Jia was sure to say so sure. He mastered the meticulous camp and knew the most about the believers of Futu, and would never say empty words to comfort him. Although Buddhism was finally localized, it was not something that could be completed in a year or two, and the threat might not be as urgent as he thought.

Sometimes it is not necessarily a good thing to know too much. Although standing high can make you see far, you can easily feel fear. It is better to walk calmly.

Pingyuan County, the west bank of the river.

Yuan Tan wrapped his cloak tightly, narrowed his eyes, looked at Gao Tangcheng opposite him, and frowned.

The north wind was howling, as cold as a knife. Although he was wearing a thick cloak, Yuan Tan still felt cold all over and his hands and feet were so cold that he could not feel it. Before coming out, Guo Tu suggested that he take a car but he refused. Traveling by car was once a symbol of his identity, and now many people are unwilling to change, but he knew in his heart that it would be wise to survive in this chaotic world. No matter how good the carriage is, it is not as convenient as riding a horse and riding a horse.

When the two armies are fighting, efficiency is the first priority.

The river had been cut off, leaving only a dry river channel. As long as he was willing, he could rush to the city of Gaotang at any time and surrounded Gaotang. Xu Kun seemed to understand this. Reinforcements had never come. The main force was deployed in Licheng and Suan County. Several counties north of the Jishui River were all giving up.

It should not be difficult to win Gaotang, but it is difficult to win Qingzhou. Sun Ce attached great importance to Qingzhou and arranged two governors here, one was Xu Kun, who had a marriage relationship, and the other was Shen You from the Jiangdong Division. Xu Kun was fine, but he had no outstanding achievements, but Shen You was the main general of the Qingzhou and helped Sun Ce take Liaodong. With him in Beihai, it was not easy to win Qingzhou.

Yuan Tan sighed secretly, feeling helpless. If he could choose, he would never take the initiative to attack Qingzhou at this time, break up with Sun Ce and get angry. But he had no choice. Cao Cao was in the right position of Yizhou, and was in danger under the two forces of Zhou Yu and Huang Zhong. The emperor went to Hedong, but was blocked by Lu Su and could not move forward. Except for him, no one could put enough pressure on Sun Ce. If Cao Cao, the emperor was defeated by Sun Ce and Yizhou or Guanzhong fell into Sun Ce's hands, Jizhou would definitely become Sun Ce's next target.

There are not many opportunities anymore, either try hard or just tie it up.

Why should I go back to Jizhou and stay in Pingyu as a prisoner? Yuan Tan asked himself again. Righteousness will no longer be humiliated, and defeated by Sun Ce once was not enough, and defeated again a second time?

"June, be careful of the steep slope and slipping sand." Ju Hu stepped forward, grabbed Yuan Tan's reins, and pulled him back. He always felt that Yuan Tan was a little absent-minded and forgot that this was the battlefield. There might be a giant crossbow on the opposite side, and it was too close to him. A cold arrow might kill him.

Yuan Tan smiled bitterly, turned his horse's head and walked back. "Bohong, is there any news?"

"Yes, Guo Jijiu just received the news that Sun Ce has been in Jiangdong."

"Traveling in Jiangdong?" Yuan Tan was shocked and asked again: "What else?"

"there is none left."

Yuan Tan turned around and looked at Ju Hu. Although he knew Ju Hu didn't dare to joke with him, he still felt that the news was a bit inexplicable. Sun Ce was in Jiangdong, what should I do about the related war? Zhou Yu, Huang Zhong retreated? So what about Lu Su? The war was about to break out. Sun Ce did not sit in Nanyang, so why did he suddenly return to Jiangdong?

Ju Hu was very innocent. When he heard this news, he was as confused as Yuan Tan and couldn't figure out what was going on. But Guo Tu asked him to tell Yuan Tan, so he could only tell the truth, not add a word or reduce a word.

Seeing Ju Hu's expression, Yuan Tan did not ask again. He clamped his horse with his legs, shook the reins lightly, and began to ride the horse. The news was too weird, and there must be a problem behind it. He wanted to return to the camp as soon as possible and discuss with Guo Tu.

The guards galloped, kicking the dust and shattering the thin frost.

Guo Tu was also waiting for Yuan Tan. He walked back and forth with his hands behind his back, Ju Su and He Yong sat in the tent, roasting on fire, and pondering. They received the news from Guo Tu and rushed over. After reading the news that Sun Ce returned to Jiangdong, they couldn't figure out the situation. If Guo Tu hadn't sure the news was not a false alarm, they would have almost left.

What happened that led to Sun Ce returning to Jiangdong at this time?

Ju Su said: "Guo Jijiu, Sun Ce is worried that we will attack Qingzhou at this time?"

Guo Tu asked back: "Then he should come to Qingzhou, at least he should go to Pengcheng. What's the matter when he returns to Jiangdong? Now it's a northwest wind, and the tower ship has no wind to borrow, so he walks slowly from the sea."

"Yes, I can't figure it out either." Ju Su smiled bitterly: "If it weren't for Qingzhou to prepare for the war, then there seemed to be only one possibility. Liu Yao and Gao Dai made progress and might threaten Danyang and Yuzhang's hinterland."

Guo Tu looked up at Ju Shu. "Mr., you're a little whimsical."

"I also think it's a whimsical, but what else can I explain? Sun Ce is sick? He is young and strong, practices boxing every day, has skills in health, and the possibility of getting sick is very small. He has not been in battle, so he cannot be injured. Even an assassin will not be able to pass the protection of Xu Chu and Dian Wei. What's more, Sun Ce's martial arts skills are superb. I really can't think of someone who can seriously hurt him. It's impossible for him to be injured when he was practicing martial arts?"
