He looks to be around thirty years old, somewhat "receptive", but his eyes have a sharp look in his eyes. He got an invitation from Bai Tu last night.
Yu Fan is a member of the Yu clan. Although he is not the clan leader, he is the best clan member among the young and strong generation. And unlike Lu Xun, Yu Fan is a direct descendant of the Yu clan and has now become the representative of the Yu clan.
Arrive at Qu'a.
He previously served under Wang Lang of Kuaiji, but now Wang Lang has resigned and is on his way to Qu'a. Although Yu Fan's martial arts skills are average, he is at least young and powerful, and... he is good at long-distance running!
When he was thinking about problems since he was a child, he liked to run and think at the same time. Moreover, Kuaiji County was very mountainous, which gave him the ability to "walk well". Historically, he personally told Sun Ce that he could travel three hundred miles a day, and asked Sun Ce to ride a horse.
Follow along by running yourself.
Traveling three hundred miles a day is roughly equivalent to a Ph.D. from Peking University who likes mountain climbing. His "good walking" is evident, so he arrived at Qu'a earlier than Wang Lang. Moreover, he and Wang Lang were just ordinary superiors and subordinates, not chief ministers, so it was also
I won't wait for Wang Lang, but directly apply for a job here at Baitu.
Originally, Yu Fan thought that many people would be invited along with him, but because it was getting late at that time, Yu Fan didn't want to give Bai Tu the impression that he was in a group with other aristocratic families, so he didn't specially send people to other families.
Ask at home.
Unexpectedly, this morning, I was the only one who came to the Zhou Mufu...
"Zhong Xiang is here? Don't be formal. I'm here to see you today. It's not any official business. I'm just introducing someone to you." Bai Tu smiled kindly.
Zhongxiang is the cousin of Yu Fan.
When Yu Fan saw this, he became more and more confused, what on earth was Bai Tu trying to do?
He also introduced someone... He couldn't be the one who wanted to get married, right? Ordinarily, he would have been married long ago and the child was still young, so he wouldn't be the one to approach him in this regard.
But at this moment, a guard suddenly came to report: "My lord, General Sun and General Zhou want to see you."
Bai Tu never treated Sun Ce and Zhou Yu as prisoners, so his guards always called them "general".
"this……"
"Since Mr. Bai is not recruiting him for official reasons, he should put public affairs first and private affairs first, and meet the two generals first." Yu Fan said somewhat rigidly.
"Okay, then Zhongxiang will wait for the picture to be carved first," Bai Tu said.
When Yu Fan heard this, he originally wanted to go to the side hall first, but Bai Tu said instead: "We are all our own people, Zhong Xiang doesn't have to be shy."
Yu Fan felt a little awkward about this. He felt that Bai Tu, as the protagonist, was too familiar with himself, which in Yu Fan's opinion was a demerit. After all, he didn't think he was anything special. He only regarded Bai Tu as "the central figure".
air conditioner".
Nowadays, in troubled times, it is not only the time for the king to choose his ministers, but also the time for the ministers to choose their king. Especially the aristocratic families can see more clearly - you must know that many aristocratic families have existed for much longer than the dynasty!
However, the white pictures had already been retained, and Yu Fan couldn't resist too much. After all, he couldn't classify the white pictures as unsatisfactory just because of this minus point, and he also thought in his mind, look at the Sun family and Zhou
He can also help analyze what the boy wants to say, which is to show his face in front of Bai Tu first.
"Bo Fu, has Yuan Shu replied to your letter?" Bai Tu took the initiative to ask after the two came in.
Sun Ce glanced at Yu Fan warily, but did not mention the jade seal. He just said, "Yuan Shu agreed to the exchange, but he asked Gong Jin and I to go to Xunyang."
When Yu Fan saw this, he was so angry that he blew his beard and glared. His facial features, which were already grim, became even more distressed now.
The Sun family was born in Wu County, and the Zhou family was from Lujiang. Although they were not in the same county as the Yu family in Kuaiji, they were in the same state, especially Sun Ce. When he was young, Yu Fan had met him once, and he and Zhou Yu's
He also knew his uncle Zhou Shang, but these two boys were actually wary of him? Even Baitu didn't let him avoid them!
Little did he know that Sun Ce had long forgotten who he was, and Zhou Yu had just seen the shoes outside the door and asked the guard in a low voice. He knew Yu Fan's identity, but... his impression of Yu Fan only came from his uncle - it is said
This person has a harsh nature, which translated into vernacular means "annoying people".
"Xunyang? Is this a scam?" Bai Tu frowned.
Zhou Yu sighed secretly when he heard this - no matter what Bai Tu was thinking, at least in his tone, he could only hear concern for the safety of the two of them, as if he didn't care that Sun Ce would "leave without returning" on another level.
” look.
As for Bai Tu, could it be that Bai Tu never thought that Yuan Shu wanted Sun Ce to be independent in Xunyang?
How could a person as smart as Bai Tu not think of this!
"It's okay for Gongjin and I. Xunyang is close to the river, and the exchange must be on the riverside. Gongjin and I want to leave, but no one can stop us," Sun Ce said.
This is true. After all, it is too easy for generals in this world to move on the river, especially Sun Ce who already has a golden and jade armor. His explosive speed is much faster than Zhouji, and he cannot ambush on the river.
"That's good, just be more careful." Bai Tu said with a smile.
Zhou Yu secretly sighed that Bai Tu was worthy of being a brilliant man, and at this time he pretended not to hear the hidden meaning to avoid embarrassment between the two of them.
"Mr. Bai... Yuan Shu means that he wants me to temporarily station troops in Xunyang to serve as a barrier for him!" Sun Ce said bravely.
"Haha, Yuan Shu has a beautiful idea! It doesn't matter if Bo Fu goes away, he will come back with Jiangdong's elite soldiers." Bai Tu said with a smile.
Originally, Bai Tu thought that if he could exchange his tribesmen and generals, it would be good, but Sun Ce's original Jiangdong elite soldiers would not be returned to him. Who would have expected... Yuan Shu had a good idea!
However, Bai Tu didn't expect to be able to take advantage of the situation to capture Xunyang. Jiangdong's current strength was not enough to defend Xunyang, which was left alone. Yuan Shu also understood this and boldly allowed Sun Ce to garrison troops.
At that time, on one side was Huang Zu, who had a grudge against him for killing his father, and on the other side was Bai Tu, who should have been estranged from him. No matter how dissatisfied Sun Ce was, he could only rely on Yuan Shu!
Even if Bai Tu did not take the initiative to attack Xunyang, as long as Sun Ce had a little bit of self-reliance, he would only deal with it instead of returning eastward.
"Hold on! Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, according to what you two said, what if Yuan Shu didn't release all his family members at once?" Yu Fan interrupted.
"Then just wait for a while, but we must meet his request after he releases everyone. That guy's character is very questionable!" Bai Tu said.
After all, Yuan Shu had a history of kidnapping Chen Gui's second son, and his apparent moral standard could be said to be only slightly higher than that of Cao Cao among the great princes.
"We have been stationed in Xunyang for a long time. When the time comes when we need troops and food, will you come back?" Yu Fan asked.
Hearing what Yu Fan said so directly, Sun Ce, whose character was questioned, couldn't help but glare angrily, and Zhou Yu finally understood why Zhou Shang gave Yu Fan such evaluation.
Even if a normal person has doubts, he will not say anything that is unreasonable...
The same was true for Yu Fan in history. He often directly ridiculed Yu Jin and Mi Fang who surrendered to Soochow, and he also spoke out and dared to remonstrate with Sun Quan. In the end, although Sun Quan praised Yu Fan as "Dongfang Shuo of Soochow", he still couldn't bear it and demoted him to Jiaozhou.
