"Tell me, should I send someone to assassinate Xi Yu, or should I happily watch him marry his little sister?"

"Or... maybe... tell him to see how heroic the young talents in our Jiangdong territory are?"

That's what he said, but he had actually already made up his mind.

In fact, when he heard that Xi Yu killed Lu Bu, he wanted to fight him.

After all, Xi Yu at that time was not a military commander, but a world-famous weak strategist.

Because he saved countless internally displaced people, he was highly praised by people all over the world.

But such a Confucian scholar and civil servant was able to become famous in a battle with Lu Bu and became the most famous hero in Cao Wei's army in the north!

Being able to fight with such a mythical person is what he desires.

However, as time passed by, he became a cripple, living in this small space, while the other party had already become the Duke of Sheng, who was inferior to one person and superior to tens of thousands of people!

What a mistake...

"this······"

His whole body trembled when he was asked. As soon as Lu Su raised his head, he saw the other party's cold eyes staring at him intently, and decisively lowered his head again.

How dare he answer this question?

Putting the entire Jiangdong future on his shoulders, the Lord thinks too highly of himself!

But from his point of view, the best solution is to marry the Sun family's younger sister happily.

This can be regarded as surrendering to Xiyu, and coupled with the relationship of marriage, it is not difficult to surrender to the emperor.

It's just that... this would be equivalent to handing over the entire Jiangdong to others and bowing to Xi Yu.

In fact, Jiangdong is almost the same as Qingxu in terms of land area and population.

But he just felt that if the two sides had conflicts and went to the point of starting a war, then he would definitely lose.

For some reason, he just felt that Xi Yu was their "enemy" that Jiangdong would never be able to reach in his life...

"Zijing, you might as well tell the truth to me, what is your choice in this matter?"

At this moment, Sun Ce's face was extremely ugly. He stared at the back of Lu Su's head with a burning gaze, as if he would not give up until he achieved his goal.

Lu Su was in a dilemma, he couldn't laugh or cry, so he straightened up and said seriously and humbly: "My lord, this matter is not decided by my subordinates, but one thing is that no matter what my lord chooses, I, Zijing, will obey his advice and will accompany you to death!"

"In that case."

Sun Ce took a long breath, looked deeply at Lu Su, and after making sure that he would not make any remarks on this matter, he murmured: "Then let me make the decision!"

"I intend to submit to the Han Emperor, assist Xi Yu in conquering the world, and establish great achievements! With the marriage relationship, I can forever shake the east of the Yangtze River and become a great vassal state, or a powerful clan!"

"Ran..."

Having said this, he suddenly straightened up with a firm gaze: "Anyone with the ability to get it from the seven counties in Jiangdong will never give it away to others!"

There are at least five million people in Jiangdong. There have been fewer wars in recent years. With stable and prosperous development, the population is increasing every year.

Under the leadership of the Sun family, the local people live and work in peace and contentment, live a prosperous and beautiful life, and respect the Sun family's dominance.

However, in addition to the Jiangdong Sun family, the names of generals such as Zhang Liao and Chen Deng are also quite famous.

Needless to say, Zhang Liao's ability is amazing, but Chen Deng is also amazing.

He was originally the general manager sent to the south by Xi Yu to manage and guard the southern industry, commerce, and agriculture...

In addition, he is also responsible for the statistics of battle reports and the planning of battle situations. In the few years since he arrived, he has defeated local bandits, robbers, and water bandits dozens of times, making the local bandits change their color after hearing his name.

Who in Jiangdong has not heard of the name Yuan Long?

But even with these two people here, Sun Ce did not intend to surrender to Xi Yu easily, let alone let the people in the territory feel that he surrendered the entire Jiangdong to others in order to surrender to Xi Yu.

As for the younger sister...even if she does marry Xi Yu, it will only be because they are in love with each other, not because of some unilateral reconciliation!

"Are you...sure?"

Lu Su looked a little ugly.

Speaking of which, he didn't stay in Xuzhou for a long time, but he gained a lot of knowledge and made many friends.

Among them, the one that impressed him the most was the fact that he only saw Xiyu three times in regular occasions.

It’s not that Xuzhou has a special filter because it is Xiyu’s territory.

But he does have the strength to make people treat him differently and obey him happily.

Don't talk about anything else, just mention the banquet that night.

It was just a few words, and the entire banquet was completely silent. Even when he was so far away, he didn't dare to raise his head and look at the other party. This shows how intimidating he was.

It's hard to talk to a being like this.

Those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish.

If the lord entertains Xi Yu according to his current idea, I'm afraid that if he doesn't make a mistake, the game will collapse.

What if Xiyu gets angry? Will he send a large army to attack Jiangdong?

You should be able to do that...

"What are you afraid of? It's not like I don't have brave soldiers in Jiangdong. With the academic education in recent years, the literati have also shown a spurt of development, and they may not be weaker than those in Qingxu and Qingxu!"

"Of course, if he is the official of the Sheng Kingdom who can quarrel with the Confucian scholars and conquer everyone with his military power, and makes all the young talents in Jiangdong defeat and surrender, what if I...even if I really submit to him?

"

After saying this last sentence, Sun Ce leaned back on his wheelchair with all his weight, raised his head and slowly closed his eyes.

He didn't know the strength of others in Jiangdong, but since his leg was broken and he could no longer go on the battlefield, he put all his strength training into his arms.

If Xi Yu wants to win against himself, it's not that simple!

······

In the blink of an eye, the end of the month is approaching.

The high-rise boat that Xi Yu was riding in went down the canal and was quite conspicuous among a large number of merchant shipping merchants.

On both sides of the river bank, there were many people following along the way, kneeling down to worship from time to time.

Among them, the older woman and the old man even insisted on following on crutches with tears streaming down their faces. They were holding their grandchildren behind them. From time to time, the two sides looked at the ship and said something.

Until they were about to leave the Xuzhou territory, the cries became louder and louder, and they gathered together, causing Xi Yu to frown.

He immediately led the casual civil and military ministers to the fourth floor deck to investigate the situation.

"Dianwei, what are you doing, you idiot? Xuzhou is your fiefdom, and you don't even know that some people have been wronged to this extent? Or do you mean that they are wronged because of you?"

"How...how is this possible? I'm not a man of the common people!"

Dian Wei scratched his neck, but did not dare to choke with Xi Yu.

"I just open a warehouse to provide food for the benefit of the people in the village. My only hobby is playing mahjong with others."

"Isn't it just to win them all! Why did they-"

"Are you fucking playing mahjong with the people in the fiefdom?"
