(After waking up, I coded it, and then clicked the scheduled update button. It should be the first chapter today; the beginning is a continuation of the previous chapter~)

As Zhou Yu's father-in-law, Zhou Shangke is not an ordinary person. He has actually been dissatisfied with Zhou Xin for a long time. Their conflicts are an open secret in the entire Danyang County. Zhou Shangke is also not optimistic about Yuan Shu. He

He is very confident in his vision. In his opinion, Sun Ce, who is still just an eagle, is much better than Yuan Shu.

The main reason is that Yuan Shu's emphasis on governance is obvious. Regarding Yuzhang and Kuaiji, the two counties that he has owned for a long time, whether in terms of policy laxity or other aspects, he is better than Wu County, Jiujiang and Danyang.

Several counties were only partially occupied by him.

Perhaps Yuan Shu could say that he wanted to monopolize the fruit in order to prevent it from being taken away by others, but even for the two counties of Yuzhang, could he guarantee that he would be able to hold on and prevent others from taking it?

It's really hard to say this kind of thing, but for the people, their criteria for judging a ruler are very simple. Whoever can make them live a good life will get a good evaluation from them. Yuan Shu's doing this is tantamount to self-destruction.

The foundation, even the Han Dynasty, can be said to be destroyed to some extent by the complaints of the people, otherwise there would not have been the Yellow Turban Rebellion. How could Zhou Shang follow such a person?

Now the olive branch extended by Sun Ce is a good opportunity. After all, he not only needs to think about himself, but also the family behind him. At present, Sun Ce is more worthy of investment than Yuan Shu. His power may be weak, but his potential is huge. Here

Joining him at this time is a timely help, not to mention that his family still has some contact with Sun Ce, which has a good foundation for strengthening the relationship.

However, the good relationship between Zhou Yu and Sun Ce was more based on their own preferences. Sun Ce could also feel this, so he trusted Zhou Yu even more. Their relationship quickly warmed up after a long separation.

, as if it was meant to be this intimate.

Hearing Zhou Yu's words at this time, Sun Ce thought for a while and said: "Gong Jin also knows the grudge between Ce and Lu Bu. But objectively speaking, no matter how much Ce hates that person, he has to admit that he is not as good as he is now."

He. Everyone says that Lu Bu is the best military general in the world. This may not be easy to say. But after he returned to Bingzhou, he made it prosperous. But it is an achievement that cannot be wiped out. This ability and strategy of civil and martial arts must be admired."

Sun Ce had heard a lot about Tong Yuan's reputation. He first expressed disbelief that Lu Bu could kill this person, and then was shocked. But because of his contact with that circle, he also knew that Tong Yuan was one of the top people.

But he is not the only one, the martial arts sect in the world

There are not many teachers, but there will never be few. "Tong Yuan uses a gun, Wang Yue uses a sword, Zuo Ci sweeps the world with a fly whisk, and A Ruo has two swords hanging on his chest." This is a common saying in the world that Sun Ce knows.

Among them are four grandmaster-level figures, not to mention some who are less famous.

However, no matter how powerful Lu Bu was, Sun Ce didn't care. He believed that he could surpass him sooner or later. He was so confident, but in other aspects, he felt that he still had a lot to learn, such as Bingzhou Academy.

wait.

In fact, Sun Ce is no longer like he was before, gnashing his teeth as soon as he mentioned Lu Bu. This does not mean that he does not hate Lu Bu. On the contrary, this hatred has now penetrated deep into the bone marrow and formed a mark. I am afraid it will be indelible even if it turns to ashes;

But as he becomes more and more mature, his perspective and attitude towards problems will naturally change. For Sun Ce, he is more rational and objective, which can prevent him from making decisions that he regrets in a moment of heat.

Zhou Yu was stunned. He didn't expect that Sun Ce would comment on Lu Bu like this. But after thinking about it, he realized that it was understandable. Sun Ce's attitude towards Lu Bu was actually very complicated. Of course, the biggest emotion was hatred, but there were also others.

A little bit of envy or even the idea of ​​pursuing goals together. After all, Lu Bu's achievements from a military general to his present achievements cannot be ignored by any man in the world. He will also be an important role in the world of Han now and in the future, and may even be the most important one.

.

Zhou Yu couldn't help but feel a little leisurely thinking about this. Now he is far inferior to Sun Ce. Not to mention the whole world, even in Yangzhou, there are not many people in Lujiang County who know him. Even those who know, most of them regard themselves as a person.

A great man who knows music well, but this is obviously not enough for him.

Looking at Sun Ce, Zhou Yu knew that his future might lie with him, and he believed that as the current situation changed, the moment when he would step on the stage to show himself to the world would come soon.

…

At three o'clock in the morning, the site of Bingzhou Academy in the east of Jiuyuan City, in the most important central reception room, this usually quiet place became noisy at this time.

Time quietly entered mid-August of the second year of Chuping in the Han Dynasty. The half month passed almost in a blink of an eye. During this period, Bingzhou went through a relatively peaceful period. There were no battles or turmoil, but the surrounding

The reconstruction work in the area around the Hetao Plain, especially in Xihe County, is in full swing. Jia Xu, the prefect of Xihe, Cao Xing, the county lieutenant, and Ma Jun, the agricultural envoy (Lü Butefeng) in charge of the officials and craftsmen, and others are all working on the project.

In order to dedicate their light and heat, the wave of people from Bingzhou who had no choice but to move south due to the frequent southward invasions of the Xiongnu and even the Xianbei and Qiang people was also at its climax. During this period, the population of the counties in the north and central parts of Xihe County exploded.

With such rapid growth, the originally empty city could be crowded with at least a hundred households in a few days. If Lu Bu hadn't been prepared long ago, there would be no idea how many riots would break out for the originally planned relocation.

After all, relocation is a time when expectations and uneasiness coexist for these people. This time is the most sensitive. If not handled well, it may even cause chaos and affect the overall situation.

One of the strange things is that during this period, the local officials in Bingzhou seemed to be possessed by capable ministers and officials, and they displayed unprecedented diligence and enthusiasm in their respective positions. This can be said to be

An important condition to ensure this major migration to the north.

Lu Bu knew the reason very well in his heart, and it was related to the purpose of calling these people here today. However, these people themselves did not know it, and they even discussed it secretly:

"Why did the state pastor invite us here?"

"Who knows..."

"Hey, could it be related to the incident that went viral some time ago?"

"That's really what happened, that's really..."

"Shh! It should be true, but the details are still open to discussion. If we are called here this time, it may not be a good thing if it is really related to this matter."

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell into silence, and the air seemed to freeze instantly.

Each of them is as uneasy as a prisoner undergoing trial, because they don't know what kind of punishment they will receive, and they don't dare to expect to be let go.

Time passed quietly in everyone's silence and anxiety. Soon more than twenty guards came in. Everyone was familiar with these people. How could they serve as officials under Lu Bu and not even know about Lu Bu's personal soldiers?

What? However, there have been several meetings before, but this situation has never happened. This makes the meeting not even started yet.

There was a cloud in everyone's mind, and when Lu Bu entered the auditorium wearing a dazzling military uniform, everyone was not only impressed by his heroic appearance, but the gloom in their hearts was even more magnified. For a while, the entire auditorium was silent, except for Lu Bu.

Apart from the sound of footsteps and the irresistible sound of rapid or feigned breathlessness, there was no other noise.

When Lu Bu saw this scene, he sneered in his heart. He did not regret what he did in the past, but he was destined to deal with today's affairs at the same time. Otherwise, where would Lu Bu's prestige lie, and how would he treat Bingzhou as a state?

Base place.

Calling everyone together at this time is of course not looking for trouble.

After this short period of smooth transition, the incident at the Prefectural Government Office has truly become history, and its negative impact has been minimized. Even if someone wants to use the issue in the future, it will be difficult, but

This incident made Lu Bu realize that the unity of his men is still a big problem.

The problem is, although it is not like Yuan Shao, whose subordinates were divided into several distinct factions due to issues such as heirs, and the open and covert fights between them directly affected the decisions of some important matters, there is still a long way to go before they can truly become a monolith.
