Sun Ce's attitude towards the court was to accept the benefits, and he refused to take the blame. He had no feelings for the court and did not want to hand over his destiny - whether it was his own or his national - to others. He believed that he could do better than Xun Yu.

The preparations for the martial arts competition were handed over to the Nanyang Prefecture House, and the public security matters were handed over to Liu Bei. After sending three reinforcements to his father Sun Jian, Qin Song, Gan Ning and Guan Yu, the Lujiang war was soon able to be decided. There was no strong enemy around Yuzhou. He had only one thing now, waiting for Huang Zhong to work together.

Huang Zhong was the first general he took over. In the past year, Huang Zhong proved his value. He was invincible in attacks and worked hard and was a reassuring general. This time, Huang Zhong and Li Tong attacked Liu Xun together, quickly, accurately and fiercely, and made a fatal blow, and made another contribution. When he was planning to leave Nanyang, the first person he thought of was Huang Zhong. With Huang Zhong guarding Nanyang, he had no worries.

Sun Ce discussed with Guo Jia the newly-determined candidates for Jiangxia and Nanjun, and decided that Wenpin would guard Jiangxia and Li Tong would sing Nanjun. Wenpin did not show off mountains and water, but he was meticulous in thinking and was very stable in doing things. Li Tong was flexible in mind, bold in style, and loyal and brave, and both of them could be of great use.

Guo Jia agreed with Sun Ce's opinion, and the two almost hit it off. With Guo Jia's support, Sun Ce immediately invited Zhang Hong, and Zhang Hong had no objection, and thought it was feasible. Sun Ce immediately asked Zhang Hong to stay in Nanyang and take charge of the overall situation. Among his subordinates' civil and military affairs, Zhang Hong has the highest comprehensive quality, with a solid foundation in classics and first-class literary style, and more importantly, their views on the general trend of the world are almost the same. Zhang Zhao has the first two, and the last difference is relatively large.

Sun Ce shared his plan so that Zhang Hong could accurately understand his ideas. If an accident occurs, he could also make timely adjustments. Kuaiji is thousands of miles away and is separated by the river. It is not very convenient to rely on people to send messages. Some things need to be handled in time. Requesting instructions back and forth will waste time.

After discussing it in the middle of the night, taking all possibilities into consideration as much as possible, and making a plan, Sun Jian and Lu Yi couldn't stand it and fell asleep on the case. The meeting was over.

Zhang Hong and Guo Jia returned the tents separately, and Sun Ce personally took Sun Quan and Lu Yi to the tent next to him to settle down. When he returned to the tent, although he was very tired, his mind was a little excited. He was still pondering all the details repeatedly, and he always felt that it was difficult to fully feel at ease. After all, he was not a genius after all, and his administrative experience was very limited. He had advanced ideas and was not sure whether he could be implemented. Instead, he might as well charge in order to gain confidence. After all, his martial arts skills are outstanding.

It is not easy to have a good body, but it is even harder to have a good mind. He is self-aware and dare not slack off at all. Sun Ce tossed and turned in the bed. He had just stopped sleeping for a while until dawn. He yawned and got up to wash up, and prepared to perform daily routine morning exercises. Martial arts are the foundation of his life and he has been practicing, maintaining his condition, and ready to accept challenges at any time.

Yang Xiu opened his eyes, his headache was split, his eyes were sore and swollen, and he couldn't help but snorted.

"Young Master is awake?"

She sat up next to her, sleepy eyes, disheveled hair, and a whistle on her face, which was a mess. Yang Xiu was startled and almost fell off the bed. His sleepiness disappeared all of a sudden, and he woke up a lot of alcohol. "Who are you? Why are you in my bed? Come on, come on!"

Two guards pushed the door and bowed to salute. "What are the instructions for the young master?"

"Who is this? drive her out for me."

The two guards were stunned for a moment and looked at each other. One of them whispered, "Young Master, you... you... you said yesterday that you wanted to take her as your concubine, so we let her enter the room to serve the young master."

"She?" Yang Xiu glanced at the woman, and was startled by the terrible makeup on her face. He didn't dare to look at her again, and waved his hand repeatedly. "How can you take the words after drinking seriously, reward her with ten thousand yuan and let her go."

The guard knew it well and immediately went up to pull the woman and dragged her out of the bed. This was the official slave of the prefect. He was probably the wife and daughter of a wealthy family in the past. He became a geisha after committing a crime and served the officials. These guards could only watch but not touch them. Now they had the opportunity to take advantage of the situation and naturally refused to let go. They had to do it. The woman screamed and struggled hard. She was so angry that she cursed and bit her.

Yang Xiu was a little sober and quickly ordered the guard to let go, bowing to the woman. "Xu was unscrupulous and had lost his moral character after drinking, so please forgive me."

The woman panted and covered her clothes, and spitted Yang Xiu with contempt. "Bah! Without trust, the three masters of the four generations are all hypocrites. If you don't want to keep your promise, Nai's mother still looks down on you. Nai's mother doesn't want this money, so she keeps you for medicine. She will be weak at a young age and clean in a few seconds. The Yang family of Hongnong is probably going to be the last one." After saying that, she raised her head and left with her long hair.

Yang Xiu was so embarrassed that his face turned red and he was speechless. The two guards wanted to laugh but did not dare to laugh out loud. They endured it very hard, and their shoulders twitched. Yang Xiu was so angry that he shouted: "Damn it, don't you give me water and wash me, why do you poke me here?"

Seeing that Yang Xiu was angry, the guards did not dare to neglect and rushed out. Yang Xiu sat beside the bed, looking at the messy bedding, vaguely remembering the absurdity at night, and couldn't help but sigh and patted his forehead hard, one head and two big ones.

Yesterday, he greeted Ma Chao and Yan Xing and spoke very unhappily. Ma Chao asked him in person why Sun Ce knew about the competition and why Nanyang Prefecture assisted Sun Ce in preparing for the competition and put them in an embarrassing place. Although he did not have the name of Yang Biao, Ma Chao's intention was already very obvious, pointing out that Yang Biao suppressed them in Xiliang people.

Yang Xiu was suffering. He knew that Xun Yu was the driving force behind the scenes, and Yang Biao was just cooperating in front of the stage. Ma Chao and others didn't understand the key points at all. They thought that Yang Biao was the third master and that the whole thing was driven by him. Without a long sentence, he didn't want to argue with Ma Chao in person, so he could only drink and get drunk all of a sudden, and ended up causing such a ridiculous thing.

It’s hard to know if things have to go through. Yang Xiu thought of his mother’s concerns before leaving and agreed. Ma Chao was rude and fierce, arrogant, and did not give him a chance to explain. He used to think that Sun Ce was arrogant, and compared with Ma Chao, Sun Ce was simply a gentleman, at least he didn’t spit his spit on his face.

Who are these people? Martial arts and martial arts, Xun Yu will definitely regret it in the future. Dong Zhuo was ahead of him, and these martial artists did not understand the way of governing the country at all. They were only worthy of being a knife and were in the hands of scholars. How could they have the ability to control the government with scholars?

Yang Xiu sat by the bed for a while, and the guards called water. Yang Xiu washed with cold water. Although his head still hurt, his mind became clearer. He stood up, turned back and forth in the yard twice, suddenly stopped, gritted his teeth, and clenched his fists.
