A few days later,
Following the clues given by Yu Ji, Sun Ce successfully obtained the Jade Seal of the Kingdom, and Sun Ce also abided by the agreement and gave all the books that Cai Yong had given to Sun Quan to Yu Ji. After all, in Sun Ce's eyes, books are certainly precious, but are they as precious as the jade seal of the state? Moreover, as the Sun family is one of the best military strategists in the world, their own art of war can be studied for a lifetime. How can they have time to study other books? They are not academics.
This not only applies to Sun Ce, but also to Sun Quan. Sun Ce knows that his second brother is a genius. For this reason, Sun Ce hopes that Sun Quan can focus all his energy on studying the art of war. Music, chess, calligraphy and painting? Poems and songs? It might have been useful when the world was at peace, but now that the world is in chaos, hard fists are the way to go!
Due to these considerations, Sun Ce knew that these books were given to Sun Quan by Cai Yong and did not belong to him. Giving them away might cause Sun Quan's displeasure, but Sun Ce did it without hesitation. Father Sun Jian is not here, so Sun Ce is in charge of the Sun family!
The deal has been reached and the Jade Seal of the Kingdom has been obtained. As for whether Yu Ji has found what he wants, it is not something that Sun Ce cares about. And now Sun Ce has no time to care about these things anymore. Even the Jade Seal of the Kingdom that he just obtained , he didn't have the heart to take it out and play with it.
inside the house,
Sun Ce and many core members of the Sun family, including Cheng Pu, Han, Dang, Huang Gai, Zhu Zhi, etc., whether they were civil servants or military generals, all looked grim and silent.
But this suffocatingly quiet atmosphere was broken by the noise outside.
"Sun Ce! Come out! Why do you give my father's books to others!"
"Sun Ce! Give me an explanation!"
Miss Cai, who had always been gentle and polite, was now shouting like a shrew, which showed how excited she was.
"Take Miss Cai back to rest."
Sun Ce had no expression on his face and just said this coldly.
"yes."
Someone immediately went to carry out his order.
"Sun Ce! Those books were given to Sun Quan by my father, you are not qualified to deal with them!"
"What are you doing! Let me go!"
"Sun Ce! Get out of here! You will definitely regret it!"
As Cai Wenji's voice got farther and farther away, the scene returned to its initial quietness.
However, because of Cai Wenji's intervention, the terrifying atmosphere just now finally relaxed a little, and Sun Ce spoke,
"I'm going to launch a general attack!"
One sentence made everyone present feel their hearts go up to their necks.
Zhu Zhi's expression changed. Seeing that the generals around him were all filled with indignation and emotions, they were all as excited as Sun Ce. He could only say aloud,
"I think it's better to take a long-term approach. First, if you wait a few more days, maybe the lord will come back by himself? Second, if this is really Jingzhou's conspiracy, wouldn't we fall into their trap by killing them like this?!"
Zhu Zhi knew very well that saying such words at this time would definitely make people unhappy, but he had to open his mouth to wake up these impulsive guys. Sun Ce is young and energetic, and the veterans are basically straight-tempered despite their age. They may have excellent tactics when marching and fighting, but in terms of tactics and strategies, Zhu Zhi is much more far-sighted than them. I hope Sun Ce will listen to a few words because he is his teacher. Otherwise, Zhu Zhi is worried that the Sun family may fall into a situation of eternal disaster!
Will Jingzhou be so easy to fight?
Don't think that the big deal is just a defeat. Not to mention the possibility of Liu Biao counterattacking after losing Jingzhou. Don't forget, is there only one Sun family in such a large Jiangdong? In the past, the reason why the Sun family was the dominant one in Jiangdong was because Sun Jian was there to control it. Now that Sun Jian is gone, what will other families think if they see Sun Ce being defeated? Will they still be willing to let the Sun family ride on their heads? By then, Sun Ce would really lose his base camp if he lost!
Therefore, Zhu Zhi's suggestion is that they should now focus on stabilizing the morale of the military and consolidating internally; secondly, prevent other forces from taking advantage of the situation to attack.
It's a pity that if Sun Ce could listen to Zhu Zhi, would he still be the little overlord later?
"How many more days to wait? If something happens to my father because of the delay in these few days, can you afford it? Besides, no matter what plots and tricks Jingzhou has, no matter what iron walls they have, can my Sun family not be able to defeat it?! "Sun Ce shouted coldly.
"You're right!"
"My lord must have been shamelessly detained by the girls from Cihang Jingzhai. We can only ensure your lord's safety by putting pressure on them from the outside!"
"Fight! If you don't fight, you will think that we Jiangdong are easy to bully!"
Everyone echoed every word.
Zhu Zhi looked at the group of people in front of him, and he suddenly felt a deep sense of powerlessness. If Sun Ce had been younger, if Sun Ce had not been trained to be so good, and if several of their generals had different opinions, at least this battle would not have been so easy to fight. Or, at best, there will be some minor friction on the front line, and it will not develop into what Sun Ce said now - a general offensive.
At this moment,
Everyone in the world focused their attention on Sun Jian, who had not returned and had no news. No one knew, Cai Wenji didn't know, Yu Ji didn't know, including Sun Ce himself. He also ignored that there were a few missing books from Cai Yong's collection that Yu Ji took away. Book. And those few books were very important. Sun Ce had asked for them from Cai Wenji at that time, and they were books that Sun Quan had read before. At that time, Sun Ce looked through it and found that it had nothing to do with the God of War catalogue, so he didn't take it out. Sun Ce was not a scheming person at first, but later he completely forgot about Sun Jian's incident. This incident also laid hidden dangers for Yu Ji's return to Jiangdong in the future.
······
at the same time,
Jiangxia,
"Have you really not seen Sun Jian?" Shi Zimiao asked.
Shi Zimiao and her party rushed from Luoyang to Jiangxia, preparing to negotiate with Sun Jian, but when she arrived in Jiangxia, she did not see Sun Jian. And now, there are rumors outside that Sun Jian never came out of Jiangxia after he came to Jiangxia!
Of course Shi Zimiao had reason to doubt whether Huang Zu, the governor of Jiangxia, secretly captured Sun Jian or even assassinated him!
"No." Huang Zu replied calmly.
Huang Zu is a local wealthy family in Jiangxia. It can be said that no matter who is in charge of Jingzhou, he has the final say in Jiangxia. Huang Zu is not interested in the so-called Cihang Jingzhai at all. Because the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, Huang Zu is quite arrogant and doesn't like others to come to him, let alone a woman.
It was precisely because Cihang Jingzhai did not have enough control over Huang Zu and Jiang Xia that Shi Zimiao suspected Huang Zu. If something happened to Sun Jian, Huang Zu might not be the most motivated, but he would definitely be the most capable of committing the crime!
"Then before Sun Jian disappeared, did you know his whereabouts?" Shi Zimiao asked again.
Huang Zu smiled disdainfully,
"If Sun Jian's whereabouts were so easy to grasp, he would not be Sun Jian." As he spoke, Huang Zu looked at Shi Zimiao, "I said Master Shi Zhai, before you doubted me, why didn't you doubt Sun Jian? Did he disappear on purpose?"
