Yang Hong was really angry and had to take out an edict to force Sun Ce to submit. Apart from that, he couldn't think of any other way to let Sun Ce speak well.

Sun Ce looked at Yang Hong, then looked at Yang Xiu lying on the ground, and held back his smile. "Then... should I receive the imperial edict first, or should I heal my wounds for Mr. Yang first?"

Yang Hong was stunned for a moment, then said, "Does these two things conflict?"

"Of course there is a conflict. I just promised Mr. Yang that he would personally apologize for him. A real man said something, but it is hard to pursue him. He would do it if he said it. But if you ask me to receive the edict first, I have to wait, first accept the edict, discuss with Mr. Yang, and then come to heal Mr. Yang. I don't care, but Mr. Yang is seriously injured and bleeding. If he is delayed and he will die, Mr. Yang will pursue it at that time, and ask Mr. Yang to explain it to me."

Yang Hong's face turned red and white, and he didn't know how to choose. Yang Xiu's injury seemed to be very serious. If he really died, he would definitely not be able to bear the responsibility. But he finally found a way to make Sun Ce submit and let it go. If he was relieved, it would be difficult to get angry again.

Seeing Yang Hong in a dilemma, Sun Ce rubbed his hands leisurely and waited for Yang Hong to make a decision. He could afford it, but Yang Hong couldn't. After weighing the pros and cons, he still gritted his teeth. "You save the people first."

Sun Ce sighed quietly. "It seems that in Yang Changshi's heart, the court's face is not as important as Young Master Yang's butt. Come and carry Young Master Yang into the tent and prepare hot water, salt, cloth and medicine."

Yang Hong's face was red, but he did not dare to do anything. He pushed Yicong away, who came forward to help, picked up Yang Xiu, and snatched it into the big tent. Yicong took a piece and placed it next to him. Sun Ce picked up the salt, sprinkled it in hot water, stirred it, and then dipped it in water with a cloth, twisted it half dry.

"Young Master Yang, it may hurt a little later, so you have to hold it back. If it cannot be washed clean and the wound is ulcerated, it will be a troublesome in the future."

Yang Xiu was so painful that he was sweating. He was indifferent to pay attention to Sun Ce. He refused to show weakness in front of Sun Ce. He made up his mind to never shout again. He originally thought that he had beaten, and no matter how painful it was, he never thought that the stinging pain of salt water on the wound was no less than being beaten. He still couldn't help but hum. However, Sun Ce was still unwilling to be idle, and was nagging while cleaning his wound.

"Young Master Yang, the military camp is not as good as a study, and the battlefield is not as good as a court. This is really hard. You scholars just want to think of an idea, and cause trouble. At worst, they will be dismissed and will be able to regain their posts after a while. But we soldiers are in trouble. Not only do we have to fight, but we also have to risk our lives. What is the small injury you suffer? After a big battle, hundreds or thousands of people were injured, blood all over the ground, and corpses everywhere. That would be miserable. If you really die in battle, it would be fine. What is the most feared is that you are disabled. Not only can you not support your family, but you will also become a burden..."

Yang Xiu was in great pain, and even more upset by Sun Ce’s nagging. He said in a hoarse voice: “General Sun, thank you for your kindness. Can you let me come from my uncle?”

"You can trust him?"

"I can trust it."

Sun Ce stood up and gave the position to Yang Hong. "Okay, after all, your surname is Yang, not Yuan. Speaking of which, General Yuan was seriously injured and his life was in danger, Yang Changshi didn't move a single finger. Yang Changshi, I didn't slander you, right?"

Yang Hong's eyes twitched, picked up the cloth in the basin and pressed it on Yang Xiu's legs. His hands were a little heavy, and there was a lot of salt water on the cloth, which made Yang Xiu scream. Yang Hong was startled and raised his hand quickly, looking at the cloth stained with blood, and then looked at Yang Xiu's wounds, and he didn't dare to move again. He didn't know how to do this at first, but now he saw Yang Xiu's wounds up close, and he felt even more shocking. In addition, Sun Ce was heartbroken on the side, and he was so angry that his hands were shaking, and he didn't know what to do.

Seeing this, Yuan Yao sighed, took the cloth from Yang Hong's hand, twisted off the excess salt water, and started to wipe it carefully. Yang Hong stood aside blankly, watching Yuan Yao wiping the blood stains skillfully, and applying medicine to Yang Xiu, wrapping it with clean cloth. It was very surprising.

"Ayao, why...you know these things?"

"Study." Yuan Yao said lightly, using the water from the righteousness to cleanse his hands. "General, can you receive the imperial edict?"

Yang Hong then remembered that there was something about receiving the edict, and hurriedly took out the edict. However, this time he did not dare to be as arrogant as before. Yuan Yao reached out from a family of clothes and opened his mouth to eat and became so well-behaved and quick-handed. He was the initiator. Facing Yuan Yao, he had no confidence at all.

Sun Ce received the edict. The edict was very simple. He was appointed as the prefect of Kuaiji and immediately took office, without anything else. Sun Ce took the edict and looked over and over for a while, looking confused.

"That's all?" Sun Ce said: "Why do I feel like I have received a fake edict?"

Yang Hong said in a deep voice: "General, this is an edict, don't joke."

Sun Ce gently placed the edict aside, drooping his eyelids. "You said it was an edict or an edict? How do I know if the edict came from the emperor or which powerful minister? Don't worry, I really encountered this incident. When Xu Rong invaded Nanyang last year, there was an edict. It was only a year later, and the emperor did not change it. It can't be said that it was an edict issued by a powerful minister last year, but this year it was an edict issued by the emperor."

"You..." Yang Hong was so angry that he wanted to fight with Sun Ce. When he was criticized by Yuan Quan, he was already very wronged. But now he realized that Yuan Quan had saved him face and Sun Ce was the one who was really difficult to deal with. Facing the edict, Sun Ce had no intention of giving in. This mission was not as easy as he thought.

Sun Ce ignored him and asked someone to carry Yang Xiu to the tent aside to rest and clean it up. Then he sent someone to invite Zhang Hong and Guo Jia. In front of Yang Hong, Sun Ce handed the edict to Zhang Hong. "Sir, take a closer look. Whether this edict is true, it seems that it is deliberately targeting me and trying to steal Nanyang."

Yang Hong couldn't help but retort. "The general is such a bad statement. Nanyang is the Nanyang of the court, not your Nanyang, so how can he rob? The court has its own arrangements for Nanyang, and there is no need for the general to bother. The general just needs to take office with peace of mind."

"Will there be any changes in Nanyang?"

"There will be no change except for a prefect."

"Who will change the prefect?"

Yang Hong pulled Yuan Yao over and pushed him in front of Sun Ce, and his heart was raised in his throat. He made Yuan Yao the prefect of Nanyang just because he hoped that Sun Ce could not obstruct it due to justice. But now he found that both Xun Yu and Yang Biao were too optimistic, and Sun Ce was not such a easy-to-talk person. If he refused to accept the edict, the court's hope of regaining control of Nanyang might be disappointed.

Sun Ce looked surprised. "A Yao?"

"Yes, the court is grateful to General Yuan for his loyalty to the country and appointed A Yao as the prefect of Nanyang." Yang Hong swallowed with difficulty and swallowed the words behind him. Sun Ce had a great opinion on him. Now he would probably anger Sun Ce if he mentioned that he was the county magistrate. He would wait until Sun Ce accepted the edict.
