"We are naturally here to attack the false emperor Yuan Shu."Zhou Yu made a decision in his heart and said

"In this case, I hope you can obey my lord's orders."Guan Jing put forward Gongsun Zan's request

"What did you say? Sun

Ce had been furious for a long time. Now that he heard this request, he couldn't help it anymore and said angrily:"You want me to obey Gongsun Zan's orders?" Why don't you tell him to die?"

"Zhou Mu, please respect my lord. Guan

Jing's face suddenly darkened, and he said angrily:"Do you want to disobey the imperial court's order?""

Of course it is impossible for Sun Ce to disobey the imperial court's orders. Although he does not take the imperial court seriously, he is not arrogant enough to fight against the imperial court. On the surface, he still wants to respect the imperial court.

Zhou Yu grabbed Sun Ce and motioned for him to come.

Zhou Yu said :"Of course it doesn't matter if you listen to General Gongsun's orders, but we have to look at the emperor's will."

"This is of course possible. Then Zhou Mu and General Zhou can go to my lord's place, and my lord will show them the emperor's imperial edict."Guan Jing said with a smile.

Zhou Yu's face became solemn again, and he thought highly of Guan Jing again.

Will Sun Ce and Zhou Yu go to Gongsun Zan to see the emperor's imperial edict?

Unless they are 100% sure, they would not dare to go. Yes, it would be dangerous if Gongsun Zan used his hand to throw a cup as a sign and hundreds of swordsmen and axemen rushed out.

Guan Jing just saw that they would not go there rashly, so he dared to say this

"hateful!

After Guan Jing left, Sun Ce couldn't help it and said angrily:"Why should you listen to Gongsun Zan?"

Zhou Yu said helplessly:"He has an imperial edict in his hand.""

"Imperial decree? Sun

Ce was angry. In his eyes, the imperial edict was nothing. He said angrily:"Who in the world doesn't know that Cao Cao has threatened the emperor, and he actually wrote the imperial edict.""

If it was really the imperial edict written by the emperor today, it would be okay for Sun Ce to accept it, but the edict was 100% written by Cao Cao, which made Sun Ce feel angry.

Sun Ce had forgotten that when he was appointed the shepherd of Yangzhou before, , he happily accepted the imperial edict and didn’t mind at all that it was written by Cao Cao

"Bo Fu, calm down."

Zhou Yu signaled Sun Ce to be calm. He didn't know if Gongsun Zan had an imperial edict in his hand, so he couldn't take risks. If he took the risk to attack, it would only cause trouble for Sun Ce himself.

And Gongsun Zan had an imperial edict in his hand, which meant that Gongsun Zan Did he join forces with Cao Cao?

If he joins forces, Sun Ce may run to deal with Gongsun Zan, which may offend Cao Cao. Sun Ce is not strong enough to offend Cao Cao and Gongsun Zan at the same time.

Zhou Yu thought for a while and said:"Stand down first and wait and see what happens. The first thing is to find out whether Gongsun Zan has an imperial edict in his hands."

So, Sun Ce brought his troops and horses to the vicinity of Shouchun City and stationed themselves there.

After he stationed himself, Gongsun Zan came to visit him.

"Haha, nephew of Bo Fu."Gongsun Zan was not afraid that Sun Ce might hold a Hongmen banquet and bring people to his door.

Although Sun Ce didn't want to see Gongsun Zan, he still held his nose and received him.

"I was ordered to crusade, and my wise nephew was willing to lead troops to help. I am grateful."

Gongsun Zan relied on the fact that he and Sun Jian were of the same generation, and took advantage of Sun Ce with open and closed words, which made Sun Ce very angry.

Zhou Yu asked from the side:"General Gongsun, I wonder why the prime minister didn't send anyone here this time? Where is General Xiahou Dun?"

"There are rebels in Yuzhou. General Xiahou has already led his troops to crusade, leaving me alone to lead his troops to crusade against the puppet emperor. I was originally worried about the lack of troops, but now that my nephew is here, I am relieved."Gongsun Zan's expression remained unchanged, and he kept telling lies.

"Oh, is it so?"

Zhou Yu didn't believe this. He secretly decided to send someone to find out what happened between Xiahou Dun and Gongsun Zan later.

"Dear nephew, since you are here, I will not be polite. How about leaving the west gate and south gate of Shouchun City to you?"Gongsun Zan is really as he said, not polite at all.

He even used the method of provoking the generals. He said:"I think my nephew has strong soldiers and horses, so two small city gates shouldn't be a problem for you, right?"

"How to plan after capturing Shouchun City?"

Sun Ce asked back. Although he has a bad temper, he is not a fool. He is also a prince after all.

Sun Ce's words are very straightforward and the naked question makes Gongsun Zan despise him. He is indeed a young man. Everyone understands this question. Yeah, you actually have to ask, it’s easy to follow the facts

"We are all the emperor's ministers, so why should Shouchun be the one to say? The capture of Shouchun will naturally be left to the emperor. It is the emperor's will to appoint whomever he wants."Gongsun Zan said with an upright face.

When Sun Ce saw this, he was furious. Gongsun Zan actually made him look like a disloyal and unjust person. Just when he was about to speak out, he was overtaken by Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu explained:"General Gongsun , my lord wants to see if the emperor’s imperial decree really orders General Gongsun to attack the false emperor Yuan Shu."

"Oh, this. Gongsun

Zan patted his head and said to him:"I didn't bring the imperial edict with me this time. If my nephew wants to see it, he might as well come to my camp.""
