Xin Ping was sweating all over, her silk clothes were pressed against her body, and the collar was darker. Cao Cao looked at him, then looked at his open belly, and laughed. "Zhongzhi, Chengdu is surrounded by mountains, much hotter than Yingchuan. Don't dress so tightly, look at you." As he said that, he walked up and fanned Xin Ping with the bamboo fan in his hand. Xin Ping smiled awkwardly and handed over the news he had just received. Cao Cao took it, stuffed the bamboo fan to Xin Ping, glanced at it quickly, and walked towards Xi Zhicai. "Zhi Cai, look."

Xi Zhicai took it, read it out, pondering without saying a word. Cao Cao held his hands behind his back and looked at Xin Ping. "Zhongzhi, is there any news about George?"

Xin Ping fanned the wind with bamboo fan and finally cooled a little. He shook his head. "Even if George had a letter, he would not mention the word Nanyang."

Cao Cao scratched his head. "What do you think this matter means? Although Fa Xiaozhi is young, he is extremely smart. He must have a deep meaning when he sends back this news. Zhou Yu was not preparing for the war in Jiangling, and suddenly went back to get married, which is too puzzling."

"I'm afraid the seeds planted by the court were germinated."

Cao Cao's eyes rolled. "Are you saying that Sun Ce suspected Zhou Yu? Does this matter?"

"Empress, Yuan Benchu ​​was defeated, Yuan Xiansi was too busy to take care of himself. The front line was shrinking from Hebei, and Jizhou was attacked from all sides. Yuan Xiansi was unable to cross the river before pacifying Youzhou. For Sun Ce, Yuzhou was stable and no longer a place he had to guard himself. Next, his attention would shift to Jingzhou, and Zhou Yu had heavy troops. If he still wanted to become a general in the front and make unparalleled contributions, he would naturally win the trust of Sun Ce."

Cao Cao sighed softly. "Yes, Sun Ce's foundation is solid and he can obtain the quality. Zhongzhi, do you think George's family will be in danger?"

Xin Ping smiled bitterly and said nothing. The Xin family had moved to Yecheng long ago, and Xinpi's wife and children were no exception. However, Yuan Shao was defeated and Yuan Tan was unable to take care of himself at this time and might not dare to compete with Sun Ce. To admit the reality, it is almost inevitable to release Xinpi's wife and children. But it is hard to say whether Yuan Tan would let his wife and children go. He came to Yizhou alone. No one knows what the situation of his wife and children in Yecheng is, so he can only expect Guo Tu to take care of the party in the countryside.

"You don't have to worry. When Yuan Tan respects the court and sends a letter to the emperor, you can take your family back." Xi Zhicai said lightly: "Xin moved from Longxi to Yingchuan, and now there is more Chengdu lineage, which is also very good."

Xin Ping smiled bitterly. "I have to pay attention to the wine."

Xi Zhicai ignored him and continued, "Zhou Yu and Cai Yan are famous generals and talented women, and fairies, marriage is a matter of time. If it is just for the sake of obtaining qualities, Zhou Yu would not have to rush back to Nanyang to get married. Even if he doesn't go back to his hometown in Lujiang, he can still be in Jiangling. If he doesn't help, he can still be in Xiangyang. Now he is in Nanyang, there is a reason." He knocked on the desk and looked worried. "Your envoy, if Sun Ce wants to come to Nanyang, this matter will be a little troublesome."

Cao Cao's face changed slightly. "Zhicai, are you saying that Sun Ce may be in charge of Jingzhou and be personally responsible for the war against Yizhou?"

"We have to be wary. Although Zhou Yu was in charge of Jingzhou, most of the generals in Jingzhou were promoted by Sun Ce. If Sun Zhou had a rift, they might not have listened to Zhou Yu's orders. The court appointed Zhou Yu as General Zhennan and was named Shuhou, which obviously had the intention of provoking. This time, Sun Ce defeated Yuan Shao and made great contributions. He would inevitably be promoted and promoted, and the power to be side by side was broken. If he did not want to give the court another chance to provoke, he would naturally not let Zhou Yu get the merits of Yizhou alone. But this would lead to great trouble."

Cao Cao was amused and crying. "This is backfiring." He said again: "Yuan Benchu ​​was defeated and died. He was completely relieved, but he didn't know how many people had suffered. The court clearly had a good chess game, but now he is in a daze."

"This may not be necessary. Perhaps Sun Ce really moved his troops westward and attacked Yizhou personally, which is a disaster for the envoy, but also an opportunity for the court. The envoy, Sun Ce is in great power, and it is not the only one who can do it. Let's ask the court for help."

Cao Cao nodded helplessly. "It seems that this is the only way. Zhongzhi, you can work hard, send a letter to various counties and states, check the warehouses, and say that the court is in difficulty. We will pay the taxes owed by Liu Yan every year, please think of more solutions."

Xin Ping bowed to accept the order. "The envoy must not only supply the court and prepare for war. It is probably insufficient to just draw from the counties and states. In case of precautions, he should contact the Yizhou families and ask them to help."

Cao Cao let out a sigh. "Okay, you go and contact us first to see how much they can help, and then make a conclusion."

Xin Ping agreed and turned around and went out. Cao Cao looked at Xin Ping's back disappearing outside the door, raised his eyebrows gently, and sighed softly. "The ice is three feet long, not a day's cold. Sun Ce is good at using a boy, and he has his own reasons."

——

Chen County.

The giant tower ship slowly docked, and the soldiers tied the cables, put down the springboard, and everything was arranged, and then the flag was uttered. The officials of Chen who were waiting on the shore, famous people gave in to each other, stepped on the springboard, got on the boat one after another, and came to the deck. Standing on the shore and watching the giant tower ship would make people feel a strong sense of oppression, but standing on the boat and looking down was another feeling, and confidence arose naturally, with a sense of power to crush everything.

A guard appeared at the entrance of the stairs and bowed to Chen Xiangluo Jun. "Luo Xiang, General, please invite him."

"Okay, okay." Luo Jun bowed to the officials and celebrities on the side and followed the guards to Feilu. He led a three or four-year-old boy, and his wife Yang was holding a baby. Sun Ce was sitting on the railing, looking at the endless rice fields and smiling. He heard the footsteps of the messy, unlike one or two people. When he turned around, he saw Luo Jun's family and quickly stood up to greet him. Luo Jun took a step forward and bowed. "Chen Xiangluo Jun, you have seen the general." He asked his wife to salute Sun Ce.

Sun Ce returned the favor, glanced at the baby in Mrs. Yang's arms, and smiled and said, "I have heard that Luo Xiang gave birth to two sons in a row. I haven't congratulated you yet. Is it that I wish you a guilty condolence. Have you ever named me?"

Luo Jun smiled. In three years, he had two sons in a row, which was a perfect merit and satisfactory. Sun Ce was not happy to meet him for the first time, and he took his rights on an excuse. However, the two got along well later. He, the Chen Xiang, did a safe and stable job. When the counties and states of Yuzhou changed their guards one after another, he was not affected, which was also considered Sun Ce's trust in the Thanong Ge Township Party.

"The eldest son is famous, the young son is less than three months old, and he has not yet named him, but I have already thought about it and planned to name him Jing to use General He to pacify the Central Plains."

"Luo Tong, Luo Jing, not bad, not bad." Sun Ce nodded repeatedly and said with a smile: "Luo Xiang is really dedicated to serving the people. Even if he names his children, he doesn't forget to pray for the people. With a village party like you, I am honored."

Luo Jun blinked his eyes and gave a deep salute. "Thank you, General."

Sun Ce glanced at him, and his smile became stronger. He waved his hand and asked someone to take Mrs. Yang and the child to the inner cabin to see Yuan Quan. He reached out and put his hand in Luo Jun's arm and walked aside. "What, Luo Xiang asked me for something? This is really rare. It's the first time you have spoken to me for so many years."

Luo Jun smiled bitterly and glanced at the deck below. "Did the general see those two?"
