Easily access Cola Novels and enjoy reading thousands of great books, including "I Summon Famous Generals from All History in Another World".

This time, the Sun family did not bring the Twelve Tiger Generals of Eastern Wu and the Four Great Commanders of Eastern Wu with them. Apart from Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang and Zu Mao, the other four were not brought along.

Without these core members, the Sun family alone, frankly speaking, would be too weak to even serve as cannon fodder against Wu Qi's incredible lineup.

Although Sun Jian and Sun Ce were indeed quite skilled in martial arts, they were no match for the god-like warriors who frequently fought in Wuzhou.

Su Ye sat in his lavishly decorated study. Sunlight streamed through the intricately carved window frames, illuminating the carpet covered in precious cashmere and adding a touch of gentle warmth to the solemn space.

The walls of the study were covered with calligraphy and paintings by famous artists, and the bookshelves were piled high with all kinds of classics, from military strategy to poetry and prose.

On the desk, a priceless Duan inkstone lay quietly, next to several fine wolf-hair brushes.

"Zhongkang, prepare the carriages and horses. I am going to the Jixia Academy to visit a wise man today."

Su Ye's voice rang out as he gently put down the scroll in his hand that contained information about the characters involved in this balancing act.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Chu, who had been waiting outside the door, immediately straightened up.

"Your Highness, should you bring more guards on this trip? After all..."

He turned to leave, but then seemed to remember something, hesitated for a moment, and finally asked.

"No need. Jixia Academy is the cultural holy land of Hengzhou and even the Great Qian Dynasty. I am going there to seek out wise men and talents, not to fight on the battlefield."

"Bringing a guard of honor is sufficient, as a sign of respect."

Su Ye waved his hand gently, interrupting Xu Chu.

Although Hengzhou has only just been established, the Jianghu forces and some resistance forces within it have been repeatedly crushed by Su Ye's Luo Wang and Shenwu Hall.

If even the most basic travel safety cannot be guaranteed, then Luo Wang and Shenwu Tang need to replace their personnel.

Soon after, the area in front of Su Ye's Zhenguo Duke's Mansion in Hengzhou became lively.

A procession of carefully selected horses slowly assembled, each horse with a glossy coat, agile physique, and saddles and bridles inlaid with gold and silver that shone brightly in the sunlight.

At the head of the procession, a flag embroidered with the emblem of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion fluttered high in the wind, proclaiming the owner's status and prestige.

Meanwhile, the accompanying musicians, holding various instruments, were ready to play melodious tunes along the way, adding a touch of solemnity and joy to the trip.

Su Ye changed into a formal court robe, a long robe decorated with gold-embroidered dragon patterns, with a jade belt symbolizing his status around his waist and a crown inlaid with gemstones on his head, making him appear both dignified and refined.

He walked slowly out of the mansion gate, his gaze sweeping over the ceremonial guard before him, and nodded in satisfaction.

He then gently raised his hand, signaling the team to set off. Instantly, drums and music resounded, horses' hooves pounded, and the entire team slowly made its way toward the Jixia Academy.

The Jixia Academy, which Su Ye specially built for Guan Zhong, is located in a beautiful place in Hengzhou, far from the hustle and bustle of the world, yet it gathers the best talents from all over the country.

The academy's buildings are nestled against the mountains and beside the water, featuring ancient and elegant academies, magnificent lecture halls, and a well-stocked library, each exuding a strong academic atmosphere.

Since Guan Zhong accepted Su Ye's invitation to establish the academy here, it has been promoted with great effort by the Luo Wang organization and the Tianyun Chamber of Commerce under Shen Wansan.

Today, the Jixia Academy can be considered a sacred place in the hearts of countless scholars of the Great Qian Dynasty.

The academy has renowned teachers like Guan Zhong, and it is also close to the forces under the Duke of Zhenguo. If one can make a name for oneself in the academy, one can then join the Duke of Zhenguo's ranks.

Therefore, many students from the Great Qian Dynasty and even the surrounding Great Yong and Great Xuan Dynasties yearn to study here and then join the Duke of Zhenguo to realize their ambitions.

When Su Ye's entourage slowly arrived at Jixia Academy, the entire academy erupted in excitement.

The students came out of their residences one after another, curiously gazing at the demeanor of this Duke Zhenguo.

And the academy's steward had already come to greet them and led them all the way to the academy's main hall.

Inside the main hall, Guan Zhong sat in the center. Although he was old, he was still vigorous, and his eyes revealed the vicissitudes of time.

On either side stood Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu, each with their own unique charm.

Zhuge Liang was gentle and refined, his brows revealing the composure of a wise man, while Zhou Yu was heroic and dashing, his eyes flashing with a stubborn determination to be second to none.

"Haha, the Duke of Zhenguo's presence is an honor to our humble academy!"

Guan Zhong rose to greet him, his voice gentle, and teased Su Ye.

"Lord Guan, you flatter me. Jin Yu has come here because of your reputation, and I wish to invite you two esteemed disciples to come out of seclusion and devise a grand plan together."

Su Ye smiled and returned the greeting, his gaze lingering on Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu for a moment, secretly admiring them in his heart.

"The Duke is a pillar of the Great Qian Dynasty. It is our honor to serve him."

"But what are Your Highness's plans for the future?"

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Liang smiled slightly, a profound meaning flashing in his eyes.

"Although the Great Qian Dynasty is strong, there are still many unstable factors within the four seas."

"I wish to use your talents to stabilize the court, develop the economy, strengthen the military and enrich the country, so as to achieve great things."

Su Ye slowly sat down, his gaze deep, as if he could see into the future.

"Your Excellency has lofty aspirations. Although I am not talented, I am willing to serve you and lend you a helping hand."

"However, Yu and Kongming have always been rivals, and we hope that you can give us a fair stage to compete."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu raised an eyebrow, a hint of fighting spirit flashing in his eyes.

"This is a good thing; competition leads to progress."

"I guarantee that as long as you can give full play to your strengths and make full use of your skills under my command, I will not let any of your talents go to waste."

Su Ye laughed heartily, and the atmosphere immediately relaxed a lot.

Guan Zhong watched this scene with satisfaction in his eyes.

Although the two young people beside me have very different personalities, they are both ambitious and talented.

With an invitation from a wise leader like Su Ye, their future is bound to be limitless.

"Besides visiting Master Guan, I have another matter to inquire about."

"My army encountered a formidable enemy in Wuzhou: Zhu Jiuyin and Sun Bin. I wonder if Lord Guan has ever heard of these two?"

After exchanging pleasantries, Su Ye's expression gradually became serious, and he spoke slowly.

"Zhu Jiuyin... Although I have never met him in person, his name is renowned among the various schools of thought."

"It is said that before he came out of seclusion, he defeated many elders of various schools of thought and families. He was unparalleled in wisdom and martial arts, and was an extremely difficult opponent."

"As for Sun Bin, I do know something about him. He is the best of the four military strategies of this generation, and his knowledge is extraordinary."

Upon hearing this, Guan Zhong frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then slowly spoke.
