Chapter 123 Your lord is too cruel to himself!!

Not long after, the two entered the camp, and two military advisors came.

One is very old and the other is very young.

Zhou Yu was quite fond of the clean young man wearing a gray robe, with hair hanging down on both sides and a bun on his head.

This man is not only neat and tidy, with a fair complexion, but also has a sense of depth in his eyes. This kind of temperament can only be seen if he has a plan in his heart and has read a lot of books.

He was estimated to be eight feet tall, with a delicate appearance and well-dressed clothes. He seemed to be smiling, and his eyes were lively.

But he is indeed too young.

At such an age, he can actually serve as a military advisor.

The other person was even stranger. Not to mention thin, he had a withered feeling. There seemed to be little moisturizing skin on both sides of his cheeks, clinging to his face bones. His beard was like the tip of a pen, but his eyes were full of energy.

He may look old, but in fact he must be in good mental and physical health. He breathes so much when he walks that you can't even feel any movement from him.

When Jia Xu came over, he immediately bowed slightly and said to Sun Ce: "General, it's been a long time. I saw you from a distance when you were sixteen years old. I still remember your handsomeness back then. This style is a legacy of my father's majesty."

"Who are you, sir!? Why do you meet me? Are you an old acquaintance of my father?" Sun Ce was certainly surprised by these words.

I have no influence on this old man at all, probably because he has never traveled around Jiangnan or Jiangdong, so his reputation is not obvious.

Otherwise, after spending these years keeping a low profile and looking for teachers and friends, how could I not know this person's face?

"Oh, I'm not an old friend. Back then, Li Ru asked General Sun Jian to marry him on behalf of Dong Zhuo. He asked for his granddaughter to marry the general."

"At that time, Li Ru was kicked out of the military camp by random sticks. When he came back, he told the general Shenjun. Fortunately, he could not facilitate the marriage at that time, otherwise the general would have lost his reputation."

"Oh! Then the student knows who the gentleman is!" Zhou Yu interrupted with a smile, and immediately said: "The sir is probably Jia Wenhe, who was the Sima of the Niu Fu Army and later the Marquis of the Han Dynasty. He was still there a few years ago.

Zhang Xiu was regarded as an elder in the army, but now he is serving as a military advisor in Xu Junhou's army."

"Student Zhou Yu, named Gongjin, is from Shu County, Lujiang. Later, his uncle went to Danyang to be the governor, so he studied in Danyang."

After Zhou Yu revealed his identity, Sun Ce's expression changed slightly. Although he was a counselor in Dong Zhuo's army back then, he was an ally now, but I don't know if he had any enemies at that time.

Why is this person here to receive us? It would be better to just let this young counselor come.

"Who is this young gentleman? I think he has a handsome bearing. I am afraid he is a member of a wealthy family."

Zhou Yu raised his hand and asked. He was more interested in young people. Firstly, he would be fighting against more young people in the future. Secondly, this person's appearance and bearing were already extraordinary, but he was obviously not very old.

But he is still young but can take on important responsibilities, either because he has a distinguished status or because he is really talented and knowledgeable.

Zhuge Liang bowed to Zhou Yu and said: "I am Zhuge Liang, whose courtesy name is Kong Ming. I am Xu Junhou's only disciple."

"Haha! That's it!" Zhou Yu gave a short laugh, squinted his eyes and looked a little more, and said: "Sure enough, he is a formidable young man. Since Kong Ming is the only disciple, he must be very talented and knowledgeable. With the careful guidance of the monarch, I am afraid he will be a big man like me in the future.

Famous minister!"

Zhuge Liang cupped his hands and looked calm.

"Please come and sit down in the big tent. Your Majesty is still in Wan County. He should come after taking office. However, it is not your intention to entertain you two." Jia Xu walked all the way, talking with him on the way to the main tent.

The two said with a smile.

"Oh?" Zhou Yu and Sun Ce looked at each other, both curious, "Who is that?"

"He is the eldest son of the Cao family, and he has the best facial features."

"Cao Zixiu..."

At this time, Sun Ce felt a little more settled, and felt a little more happy. From this point of view, generosity can definitely be exchanged for titles and official positions.

He could be granted the title of Grand Administrator of Danyang, or he could be given the position of General, so that he could go back and rectify the noble clans in the future, and then squeeze out all the money and talents from their families.

This is a great plan. From this point of view, there is no need to even show the intention of friendship, just exchange for it. Since he is the eldest son of the Cao family, he should still have such a big heart.

"Where is the eldest son now? Is he in Wan County with the prince?" While Sun Ce was still thinking, Zhou Yu readily agreed and followed him outside the tent.

Jia Xu smiled and said: "That's not the case. I'm afraid the eldest son is still at the pass. There are also many refugees in the Lujiang Pass. The master should be appeasing the people and will be back soon."

"I see……"

Both of them nodded after hearing this. It seemed that Mr. Cao really upheld benevolence and righteousness to the end.

Even the eldest son of the Cao family was willing to personally comfort the refugees in a mere pass.

Not simple.

When the two of them were sighing, Zhuge Liang was also sighing in his heart. He almost blurted out just now, trying not to hide it and made it clear that Cao Ang could not catch up with the marching army, so he fell behind.

But what he thought was not comprehensive. Zhuge Liang felt that if he said this, it would make the two of them admire the king's speed in using troops even more.

But after listening to Jia Xu's words, I immediately felt that it was better to say this.

The old thing is indeed very tactful, I have learned from it.

Zhuge Liang thought secretly in his heart.

Entering the military tent, several people took their seats, and the main seat was empty. Before Cao Ang came, they discussed many marching arrangements.

Zhuge Liang bluntly donated three thousand stones of grain and grass and eight hundred kilograms of meat to Sun's camp to garrison the army.

However, the cashing of grain and grass will have to wait a few days before grain trucks are slowly transported from Chenliu, Dongjun, and Xiapi.

They agreed to attack the west of Yuan Shu together and cooperate with Cao Cao's army to surround Yuan Shu Shouchun.

Although his Huainan county is vast and rich in resources, in the end it is only this land.

After gradually encroaching, you can slowly encircle it. Now the real battlefield is still on the Xuzhou front line, and Yuan Shu's army is stationed in Shouchun.

The situation still needs to be discussed at this time.

So, with constant discussions with each other, the morning almost passed.

By noon, both Zhou Yu and Sun Ce were a little tired. After marching all night and setting up camp, it was actually time for them to sleep peacefully.

It seemed that Jia Xu and others were not tired at all. Considering that they had not slept all night, everyone was just supporting each other.

If there is a banquet in the evening, it would be nice to drink some wine and go back to sleep.

As soon as Cao Ang came in, his face was full of spring breeze, and he walked quickly to Sun Ce.

The two of them also stood up at the same time to greet him.

"It's too late to come down, everyone has been waiting for a long time, waiting for a long time!!"

Cao Ang went all the way to the main seat and sat down, then stood up and extended his hand, "Both of you, please take a seat."

"Bo Fu, you should be older. Zi Xiu dares to call you brother."

Sun Ce nodded and took a closer look at Cao Ang's face. He was quite handsome, his aura was very similar to Cao Cao's, and he looked heroic when he smiled.

But if you don't smile, you have a sense of elegance and tranquility. There is already a slight beard on your chin, which is in the shape of a "mountain" and extends slightly beyond the chin.

His demeanor is also majestic and there is no sense of stiffness. Some young people will always be cautious when meeting strangers.

For example, when many talented people in Jiangdong met Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, they would be speechless, hemmed and hawed, nervous, and intimidated by their magnanimity.

But the eldest son really did not disgrace the Cao family. After coming in, he could bring the two people closer with a few words, and he sat directly on the main seat. After making arrangements, he immediately showed his mastery.

"My father and General Sun Jian worked hand in hand to fight against Dong. In fact, after the Allied forces made great achievements, the only ones who still devoted themselves to fighting against the bandits were my father, General Sun Jian, and the current Duke Mu Xuande of Yuzhou."

"That's right!" Sun Ce proudly raised his chest. Every time he talked about this moment, he always felt more proud in his heart. "There is no greater hero in the world than this one. How many princes spoke eloquently at the beginning, but later they were all for profit!"

"My father fought against Dong until he fled to Chang'an, but he was still fighting fiercely at the pass. In the end, his army ran out of food and supplies, so he withdrew with his troops and went to Nanyang to put down the rebellion."

"What Zixiu said makes me happy. It seems that now, even though we are the sons of the heroes back then, we also have the same aspirations!"

Sun Ce's words were sonorous and forceful, and he was full of energy. It was obvious that he was extremely powerful and had the demeanor of a general. He smiled at Cao Ang and did not hide his appreciation for him at all.

"Haha, that must be a hangover! In this way, after Zixiu entertains his brother, he can form an alliance and attack Yuan Shu! Fight the rebels in Shouchun, seize achievements in troubled times, and pursue the majesty of his fathers!"

"That's right!!"

Sun Ce's eyes were filled with excitement and he stood up immediately. These words really spoke to his heart, and his current situation really seemed like this.

The only difference is that Cao Ang's father has built such a family business for him, has many talents, and has the emperor in his hands, so he will just take over it in the future.

My father, however, only taught me by words and deeds. He had thousands of old men behind him and some Jiangdong foundation at his feet, so he was showing signs of decline.

But heroes don’t care about where they come from. They can only be determined by fighting for supremacy in the end!

At this moment, the two of them seemed to have met each other late, and they spoke loudly and enthusiastically.

The conversation got more exciting and he laughed loudly, which made everyone around him feel more at ease year by year.

Although Cao Ang was kind and enthusiastic, he did not reveal anything in his words. Whenever he mentioned the affairs of Lujiang, he always said that the Han Dynasty was in hand and the people were at peace.

He didn't give Sun Ce the slightest chance to ask for a city or a place. Later, Sun Ce knew that it was impossible to get there, so he turned to the title of the year.

Cao Ang immediately understood and cupped his hands and said: "Brother's words are true! This marquis must be inherited, and my brother's achievements have determined the country of Jiangdong. He should be appointed as a general at an early date. When I return to Xudu, I will definitely ask the emperor for advice!"

"Seriously? If so, I will have to worship you and make three bowls tonight!"

"Easy to say, easy to say!" Cao Ang smiled and waved his hands, his face bright. At this time, the military tent door suddenly opened, and the wind blew the tent door and made a loud sound.

The three people who hurriedly walked in were Xu Zhen, Xu Chu and Zhao Zilong.

The three of them had just returned from working in the fields outside the city. Xu Zhen had gone to teach others how to weed pigs, so there was a lot of blood on Silver Armor's robe and skirt.
