Chapter 1616 Remarks like a knife
Sun Ce was puzzled. "What kind of eyes are you?"
Guo Jia couldn't help but say, "Yu Zhongxiang passed down Yi for the fifth generation and was well-versed in medical skills. It's fine. You know, General, and you can actually see that he has many children? You can't tell that you have nine friends and your realm is higher than him. There are four beautiful concubines, so I haven't seen you give birth to many."
Only then did Sun Ce realize that he had let go. He laughed and gave Guo Jia a look. "You understand."
Guo Jia was slightly stunned, then suddenly realized. "And he?"
Sun Ce waved his hand and signaled Guo Jia not to say anything. Guo Jia understood and looked at Yu with envy and jealousy. Yu Feng fell down and sat down opposite Zhang Hong. Turning his head, he was about to talk to Pang Tong, and the sound of chaotic footsteps sounded outside. Zhou Yu, Xun You, and Xinpi entered one after another. Seeing that there were already a few people sitting in the tent, there was no rule to follow, and I didn't know how to sit for a while.
Sun Ce moved aside. "Stop looking, just sit there. Gongjin, come here."
Zhou Yu responded, and was about to walk over and sit with Sun Ce, Yu flipped up and stopped him, saying seriously: "General, there is no rules, no order. If it is a private banquet, you can sit anyway. Today is a business, so you can't be too casual."
Sun Ce was a little embarrassed, but he knew that Yu Fan was doing his best, so he swallowed the words he rushed to his mouth. Zhou Yu looked again, understood what Yu Fan meant, smiled, took the seat under Zhang Hong, and Xun You and Xin Pi sat behind him. Seeing this, Du Ji took the initiative to sit on Yu Fan's head. If Sun Ce was in the middle, the chairman, Guo Jia and Pang Tong, two soldiers were planning to sacrificial wine, and Zhang Hong and Yu Fan sat on the left and right sides, followed by Zhou Yu and Du Ji, one was the general in charge of military affairs, and the other was the governor of Jingzhou who was responsible for supervision, and the order was in order.
Yu flipped over and said to Sun Ce: "General, governing the country is like using troops, and orders cannot be made. The general is no longer a young man who first arrived in Xiangyang four years ago. Now he commands the five states, and he should know that he is in order. Today, General Zhou is invited to attend the meeting. The five states will discuss together in the future. Will the generals of the five states be comparable to the general?"
Sun Ce was speechless. He knew that Yu Fan was justified, but it was too sudden and he was not prepared at all. Moreover, Yu Fan's tone was tough and aggressive, which made him feel a little overwhelmed and didn't know how to deal with it.
Zhou Yu stood up, bowed his hand solemnly, and said, "General, what General Yu Changshi said is extremely true. I hope the general will accept his loyal words and forget his offense."
Before Sun Ce could speak, Yu Fan said seriously: "General Zhou, as the chief minister, I advise the general. Even if I have offended him, the general has not criticized him for any words. It seems that General Zhou does not need to plead for me."
Zhou Yu bowed and bowed again. "Yes, Yu doesn't know how to advance and retreat. General forgives the crime, Chief Secretary forgives the crime." He bowed again, retreated to his seat and sat down, put his hands on his thighs, and sat upright. Seeing this, Xinpi stood up and bowed. "General, Chief Secretary, Bi has a word, he won't be happy if he doesn't speak up."
Sun Ce knew that Yu Fan was arrogant and straightforward, and knew that he was establishing his authority for him and offended Zhou Yu. But he was still a little unhappy when he saw him suddenly making the atmosphere so stiff. Zhou Yu was generous, and he might not care about Yu Fan, and he would not be suspicious that he ordered Yu Fan to embarrass him on purpose, but it would be hard to say whether others would be so generous. If nothing else, what would Zhang Hong think? He and Yu Fan were both chief ministers. Doesn’t Yu Fan look so loyal and straightforward, wouldn’t it seem like a foreign land?
Isn't this, Xinpi is dissatisfied. If this starts, will he still talk about the serious matter?
Sun Ce waved his hand. "Zhongxiang, go back to your seat. George, if it is business, you can say that there is no need for a dispute over intention."
Xin Pi didn't say anything, turned around and looked at Yu Fan, with the intention of provocation. Yu Fan raised his lips slightly. "Xin Zhuozhi, are you trying to say that I am domineering and arrogant in front of the general?"
Xinbi was not too slow. "The chief scolded the general in front of the general, and I thought it was inappropriate."
"So, are you talking about General Zhou?"
"As General Zhou as an assistant official, why should I speak up for General Zhou?"
"Since you are the assistant officer of General Zhou, you should be responsible for assisting him. Why don't you dissuade General Zhou when he wants to take up the seat? I will advise you, and you blame me for being domineering. Do you think General Zhou should be on par with General Sun? Shouldn't I dissuade him?"
Xinpi bowed and said, "When the Chief Secretary dissuaded General Zhou, did Via make a statement? It's just that General Zhou is a general of the front and has a general role with General Sun. After being dissuaded by the Chief Secretary, he already knows that why should the Chief Secretary be aggressive?"
Yu Bao smiled. "Does George know about medical skills?"
"Vi has no talent for Changshi and does not understand medical skills."
"Then have you heard of Bian Que's story?"
"I heard a little, but I don't know which one the chief minister said?"
"Although there are many stories, the truth is the same. Does George only know the matter but not the meaning?"
"I dare to ask the chief minister for advice."
"Bian Que first met Duke Huan of Cai and said that his disease was in the skin, and where the decoction was ironed, it was a slight disease. Bian Que replied to Wei Wenhou and said that the emperor had cured the disease before he was sick. If the counselor assisted the monarch, if the doctor treated the disease, should he remind him sternly when he was sick, or should he comfort him when he was severe?"
"This..." Although Xin Pi had read a lot of books, he was really not clear about the doctor's affairs. He only knew one of the two things about Bian Que that Yu Fan said about him, but he didn't know the second. Although it did not affect his understanding of Yu Fan's meaning, he was already weaker in his heart. Faced with Yu Fan's questioning, he was anxious, and he didn't know how to answer.
Seeing this, Sun Ce smiled bitterly. In terms of knowledge, Xinpi would not be too far away even if he was not as good as Yu Fan, but in terms of eloquence, he was obviously not Yu Fan's opponent. There was a trap in Yu Fan's words, but Xinpi didn't see it, so he naturally could not answer it.
"Zhongxiang, George, it's better to stay at the center than to talk too much." Sun Ce knocked on the desk lightly, signaled Yu to return to his seat again, and said to Xinpi: "George, the first question to discuss today is the Yizhou strategy. Is it you or Gongjin's words?"
Xin Pi looked back at Zhou Yu. This matter should have been for him, but he had just started the army and was choked on the spot by Yu Fan and his momentum was frustrated. At this time, he was a little reluctant to speak out. Xun You had never been willing to speak in public. If Zhou Yu refused, he had to bite the bullet and go.
Seeing Xinpi in a dilemma, Zhou Yu gave a look and signaled Xinpi to return to his seat. He owed his body and greeted Sun Ce. Sun Ce nodded in agreement. Zhou Yu said loudly: "The general's strategy of Yizhou is based on my intention. Gongda and George have both support and advice. Each has its pros and cons, and it is difficult to decide. It is for reference only. Please consider it carefully."
Sun Ce nodded. "Since it's a discussion, you can speak out your own opinions without any scruples. You can discuss things on the ground, not as good as anything else."
Everyone answered in unison.
"Gongjin, tell me."
