With Zhou Yu's range of perception, people like Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong who had never seen this kind of ability and had no idea of hiding their spiritual talents were naturally found by Sun Ce and Zhou Yu without any surprise.
Regarding the combination of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong felt at first glance that they were just young masters traveling together. Although they did not cheer for each other, their momentum was not something that ordinary people could imitate. Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong also came from aristocratic families. Unfortunately, they
When I was young, I didn't have such temperament.
"Are these two?" Sun Ce asked curiously, touching his chin. Neither Zhang Zhao nor Zhang Hong seemed to be very heroic. If I had to say it, they were two little old men, at this average age.
In the age of thirty, two forty-year-old guys can already call themselves husbands.
"That's the two of them." Zhou Yu searched in his mind for someone who could match his name. After all, now famous people in the world have appeared, and they have already gained their own reputation even if they have not become an official.
"It doesn't look like it. He's not as handsome as you, not as ugly as Shiyuan, not as proud as Gongyuan, not as long-faced as Ziyu, and not as stubborn as that guy." Sun Ce followed.
He looked Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong up and down, and said with a puzzled look on his face, Sun Ce is also a strange person, and his capable ministers all have special characteristics.
As for the guy Sun Ce was talking about, he was naturally Zheng Du. He did not surrender at all, saying that he would either kill him or just hold on to him. Sun Ce had no way to do it, and he was unwilling to follow his advice. What can you do? It will be a problem for the captives to come back.
But the good thing is that I have failed to commit suicide three times, and it seems that I have no suicidal thoughts in the near future.
"These two guys are looking at us." Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong chatted casually, and naturally noticed Sun Ce and Zhou Yu.
Speaking of which, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu appear at the same time. Even if their identities are not revealed, their powerful aura is definitely the center of the world. It is completely different from Liu Bei and Chen Xi who are invisible to everyone. Wherever these two guys stand, they look like they are
Stand out from the crowd.
"Don't judge books by their appearance, Bo Fu. No matter which aspect they focus on, the two top-level civil servants opposite us will be of great benefit to us now." Zhou Yu rolled his eyes and was really speechless at Sun Ce's words, but after thinking about it,
, seems to make sense!
In fact, Sun Ce is currently very short of senior officials to handle government affairs. Whether it is Zhou Yu, Pang Tong, or Zhuge Jin, they are actually not suitable to handle it. Not to mention the first two, they are all experts in making suggestions on the battlefield, and Zhuge Jin is the only one who can handle government affairs.
, in fact, he is not good at government affairs. What he is good at is dealing with interpersonal relationships, and he uses strong interpersonal relationships to get government affairs done.
This is obviously a trick, but there is absolutely no way around it. There are really no civil servants under Sun Ce who can show their skills and are good at governing. This is also an important reason why Zhou Yu is so embarrassed that he personally stepped down to pursue development.
"What should we do, go straight to the point?" Sun Ce asked. He had never invited someone in person. It seemed normal that someone would suddenly come to seek refuge with him, but he had no experience in this situation now.
"We've already met the person. Let's prepare gifts, find out about their past, and then visit them." Zhou Yu smiled and said, indeed, the two of them really don't have much experience in this kind of thing.
"Oh, then go back first?" Sun Ce raised his eyebrows and asked, "Liu Xuande from the north, how should we deal with it?"
"Let's clear up the internal problems first, and then we'll talk about it. I think it won't be long before Bo Fu and you attack the marquis." Zhou Yu said with a smile, without saying much.
Zhou Yu knew very well that given Sun Ce's character, he would not be able to compromise and join forces with Cao Cao, and it would definitely not be finalized in an instant. Sun Ce had been preparing to give an explanation to Yuan Shu regarding Yuan Yao, and Cao Cao was the one in charge after all.
"Don't we need to set up defenses on the river?" After Sun Ce killed Liu Biao, he made a fake and sent it to Yongzhou. He finally felt better and his intelligence improved slightly.
"No, Liu Xuande also needs to rest and recuperate. Their territory has expanded to the limit in a short period of time." Zhou Yu said nonchalantly. He had already deployed the defense in the middle of the river, but the high-density defense that Sun Ce mentioned was not something he could do.
It seems completely unnecessary.
"No, the troops they invested in defeating Yuan Shao were only 150,000, and they captured a large number of prisoners along the way. Jizhou was in control. If nothing else, at least Yuan Shao still had some troops at that time." Sun Ce was surprised.
Looking at Zhou Yu, his IQ had risen enough to know how to ask.
"You're wrong. They have fewer troops now. Although their territory is larger, there are more places to defend. More importantly, the demand for talents at all levels has increased greatly. They want to be quick and have a war to bring peace to the world.
Just to avoid destroying the world." Zhou Yu shook his head, feeling very satisfied with Sun Ce who could ask questions, which was also an improvement.
"I don't understand at all." Sun Ce asked with trance-like eyes, unable to understand what Zhou Yu was talking about.
"It means that the territory is too big, they need to manage too many places, and there is a lot of talent demand, but there are not that many people. The aristocratic family does have so many people, but his requirements are too high, and he will suppress the aristocratic family in a short time, so he
A large number of people are needed to manage these places, and the meaning of war is to know whether the fruits can be harvested after the war." Zhou Yu explained slowly.
Seeing that Sun Ce still didn't understand, Zhou Yu felt a little frustrated. Did he really overestimate Sun Ce's IQ?
"Actually, let's put it this way, the battle between Liu Bei and Yuan Shao will cause very little damage to the entire north, and this is what Liu Bei is pursuing. If Liu Bei cannot do this, the fight will last for a long time, and the bandits will flee as deserters
If it appears, it will cause great damage to the future governance." Zhou Yu looked calm with a slight look of admiration.
"You have to know that if that happens, it will be devastating to the people under the rule. Therefore, they will not expand their territory if they are not sure of maintaining stability. According to my estimation, it will take a year for them to completely control it."
Zhou Yu made an estimate and said.
"What does this have to do with not attacking us? Wouldn't it be the same if we develop after the attack?" Sun Ce asked in confusion.
"Because Liu Bei is very ambitious, he currently has the strength to unify the world, but if the princes of the world unite, it will take a long time for Liu Bei to win, and the entire world will be in chaos within five years, and whether it is us or
Cao Cao doesn't have Liu Bei's mentality." Zhou Yu said with great sigh.
"In five years, more than 20 million people will be in chaos. Without sufficient food and medicine, a plague will break out at any time, resulting in more than 10 million deaths. This is a loss that Liu Xuande cannot bear!" Zhou Yu said with slightly pitiful eyes.
, "What he wants is not a stalemate, but a thunderous blow, leaving us with no power to resist. For the people of the Han Dynasty, this is the greatest kindness!"
