Chapter 584: Breaking New Ground
Seeing that Yuan Yao was in a good mood, Sun Ce also followed closely and said: "Then Yuan Jun, I should be the Taishou of Lujiang......
"En?" Yuan Yao looked at Sun Ce in surprise, "What's the hurry, there are fourteen county towns under the jurisdiction of Lujiang, how can you control it alone, you must know that it is easy to fight the country and defend the country, and it is not better to let the people live and work in peace and contentment than you fierce generals on the battlefield!"
Sun Ce chuckled in his heart, his face was already pale, and he said in his heart that you Yuan Yao is only a few years older than me, isn't he also managing the land of Banzhou? But he still reluctantly smiled and said: "The last general is not in a hurry, Yuan Jun's words are right, the current Lujiang is in chaos, and he urgently needs to settle down, I don't know what Yuan Jun's plans are?"
Yuan Yao knew that he was at a loss, so he deliberately didn't look at Sun Ce's face, but turned his head to the side and looked at his subordinate Liu Xun: "Liu Xun, you have always been familiar with the customs and customs of Lujiang, how about you manage the fourteen counties of Lujiang on your behalf?"
"Ah?" Liu Xun hadn't reacted yet, and he wondered in his heart, I, a northerner, have always fought in the north, when did I become familiar with the customs of Lujiang? But who would refuse such a good thing falling from the sky, and immediately bowed down, "My subordinates must do their best to settle down the military and internal affairs of Lujiang!"
Sun Ce glared fiercely at this short Liu Xun with ugly facial features, although he had long expected that Yuan Yao would play such a scoundrel, but he had no way to attack, so he had to leave Yuan Yao's camp with a snort in his belly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
arrived in his own account, but saw that Zhou Yu and Lu Meng and a group of old generals were there, and this time even Sun Jian's old official Zhu Zhi also came.
"What's going on today? Why are so many people here?" Sun Ce looked at them in surprise.
LΓΌ Meng handed Sun Ce a letter: "The lord has decided to start a war with Liu Xuan, and I just received an urgent letter from him!"
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Sun Ce wondered, "Didn't you say it in Qu'a? at least wait until next spring to send troops?"
"I've already verified!" Zhou Yu also said, "In order to increase the defense against Yuan Yao, Liu Miao now personally led an army of 20,000 to Jing County to attack Zulang, and divided 10,000 horses into Qu'a's two gateways, Niu Zhujin and Danglijin!"
"En?" Sun Ce was even more puzzled, "Is this guy Liu Xuan crazy? Uncle Gao's troops in Qu'a are at least 20,000, right? Even if there are only elite soldiers, it is not less than 8,000, didn't Liu Xuan open his fist and expose his heart to others?"
"Because of the arrival of one person, Liu Miao can rest assured that he will transfer troops and leave!" Lu Meng said slowly, "This person is enough to be worth 100,000 soldiers and horses!"
"Who?" Sun Ce asked.
"Xun You!" Zhou Yu said.
Sun Ce thought hard about the name, and suddenly exclaimed: "It's the Xun You who once plotted to assassinate Dong Zhuo, I heard that he was not appointed by the imperial court as the Taishou of Shu County?
Zhu Zhi said: "I wrote to me in Huiji's friend Yu Translation, two months ago, Xun You and Nangong Yingsun, a disciple of the divine doctor Hua Tuo, came to Huiji escorted by a master, and there was a seriously injured man who was almost incurable, although it was very hidden, but on the third day, Liu Xuan got the news, and personally came to Huiji to invite Xun You out of the mountain, the purpose is very clear, that is, to help Liu Xuan beat Yuan Yao!"
Lu Meng said at this time: "The lord's letter said that this is information that one of his subordinates named Ling Jian almost bought at the cost of his life!"
"Although he said that he was going to beat Yuan Yao, who could say that Liu Yao didn't come for Uncle Gao?" Zhou Yu said with a frown.
Zhu Zhi said: "Indeed, Gao Fujun's team of men and horses is like a tiger lurking around Liu Xuan, which must make Liu Xuan uneasy to sleep, and I heard that Xun Yu really lived up to Liu Xuan's expectations, which made Gao Fujun suffer a little!"
"Then Xun You shouldn't know about General Taishi, right?" Sun Ce pinched his chin and said.
"This matter has always been very hidden!" Lu Meng turned his head to look at the people in the tent, and then said reassuringly.
"That's good!" Sun Ce was about to say something, but suddenly there was a loud shout outside the tent:
"What's hidden, what's good?"
"Who?" everyone drew their swords in their hands, opened the tent curtain and looked coldly out of the tent.
It's actually Ji Ling!
"Yo ho, there are so many people! What about dancing swords here?" Ji Ling walked in from the sword bush without fear and came to Sun Ce's side, "General Sun Ce is not afraid of breaking the tent?"
"Did you hear what we said?" Huang Gai asked Ji Ling in a cold voice.
"Kill him!" Han Dang said sharply, "If he tells Yuan Yao the news, we won't survive!"
If there was no one beside Ji Ling, he only looked at Sun Ce fixedly: "If I were a whistleblower, I would have shouted loudly outside just now, so why should I be threatened with your life here?"
Sun Ce scolded, ordered Huang Gai Handang to remove his weapon, and then said to everyone: "General Ji Ling is indeed not his own person, but he is not our enemy either, our friendship was laid in the competition in Shouchun School a few months ago!"
The rest of the people were shocked: "I'm rude, don't blame the general!"
"No blame, no blame!" Ji Ling said with a smile, "Actually, I really didn't hear any secret words just now, it's just that General Sun Ce's expression in front of the lord is too flamboyant, I'm worried that the lord guild will listen to the villain's words and assassinate General Sun Ce, so I come to persuade you to get out quickly!"
Zhou Yu, Lu Meng, Sun Ce, Zhu Zhi and others glanced at each other: "General Ji Ling really thought of going with us!"
Ji Ling was surprised: "You are also discussing this?"
Seeing that Sun Ce and the others nodded, Ji Ling said again: "Li Fengliang just led 20,000 horses to attack Lujiang without making progress for half a year, but let General Sun Ce attack Shucheng with only 1,000 old and weak soldiers to get the first merit, can their hearts be balanced? These two sycophants have no ability to fight, and their flattering kung fu is superb! Just now I have seen them enter the big tent of Yuan Yao's prince, and the prince has always been a person who listens and believes in partiality, and it would be too sad for General Sun Ce to die here in vain now!"
Sun Ce glanced at Huang Gai and the others, Huang Gai and the others understood, got up and went out, leaving only five people in the tent.
Zhou Yu asked: "General Ji Ling is the number one general under Lord Yuan Yao, and his insights must be extraordinary, and he is willing to teach me and Bo Fu!"
Ji Linghan smiled: "I'm just a brave man, I can only think of simple ways, when I was a child, my family was poor, and my mother had a bad temper, I worked hard at home every day to do housework, feed horses, feed pigs, mow grass, take care of my younger brothers and sisters, Rao is like this, or I can't avoid my mother's scolding and beating every day!"
Zhou Yu, Sun Ce and Zhu Zhi are from a better family, but they don't think there's anything, but Lu Meng and this Ji Ling are also considered to be in the same disease, and they can't help but have a deep understanding, and interjected: "Yes, my mother is like this, seeing me dangling in front of her eyes every day, it is to complain and complain!"
Ji Ling smiled: "But since I decided to do something big and left home, although I lived a life of exile and hardship for a few years, I later became Yuan Shugong's personal guard, step by step to today's status, and now my mother in my hometown will always show off the glory I gave her, although I didn't give her anything substantial, and I didn't go to see her for the last time before she died......"
Speaking of this, Ji Ling had already lowered his voice.
"The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, and the son wants to raise but does not wait! I understand General Ji Ling's mood very well!" Sun Ce and Zhou Yu are all fatherless people, and they can't help but feel related when they hear this.
But, isn't that a bit off-topic?
Ji Ling raised his head: "My analogy is a bit inappropriate, but I just want to tell General Sun Ce that you must go out, get out of your own narrowness, get out of your own limitations, if you don't go out, you will never find out how capable you are, how big your level is, only when you go out, you can personally use your own hands to create a piece of glory that only belongs to you, and no one can take away this glory!"
Sun Ce nodded secretly: "I understand what General Ji Ling means, but I have to find a reason to convince Yuan Yao!"
"I've already figured out the reason for you, didn't Zhou Yu already say it just now? Liu Xuan, Chen Bing, Niu Zhujin and Dang Lijin, in the name of defending the pirates of the past, actually want to provoke the prince to start a war! General Sun Ce, you can ask the prince for a soldier and horse to cross the river to fight, and then go to ...... Don't come back!" Ji Ling looked at Sun Ce and said slowly.
This is really a good thing, Sun Ce and the four of them glanced at each other, Yuan Yao trusted Ji Ling very much, and he came forward to sponsor him, Yuan Yao must have promised, right? It also invisibly eliminated Yuan Yao's concerns about Sun Ce.
Sun Ce tried to ask again: "Since General Ji Ling knows that Yuan Yao will not be able to achieve results if he continues like this, do you still want to follow him? Isn't it good to cross the river with me? If Sun Ce is fortunate enough to be assisted by a brave and experienced general like General Ji Ling, why worry about the world?"
"Hahahaha!" Ji Ling laughed, "My Ji Ling is just a second-rate character, there are people outside the world in this world, there are heavens outside the sky, I Ji Ling asked himself if he is still a self-aware guy, not to mention that Yuan Shugong has the grace of knowing me, if I have parents again, I will naturally be kind to his son, I will not betray the son in this life, even if the son wants me to die now, I Ji Ling will not blink an eye!"
Sun Ce wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Ji Ling: "Time is running out, I'll take you to see the prince now, if you still remember my goodness, then if you don't show mercy to my subordinates on the battlefield in the future, it will be the best reward for me!
Zhou Yu fell into deep thought: Ji Ling's words are not wrong, respecting one's opponent is the best respect for oneself! But where is one's opponent?
Suddenly, his whole body was full of blood surging, as if his whole body was burning with infinite fighting spirit and fighting spirit, chasing the world, not only killing and blood, but also accompanied by human nature and life full of philosophy, thousands of years later, when future generations talk about themselves, whether they despise or worship, they can learn useful from themselves, and they can benefit them for a lifetime.
Half a month later, Sun Ce crossed the Huai River, which was covered with thin ice, with a thousand soldiers and horses borrowed from Yuan Yao, and began his campaign in Jiangdong.
And in Qu'a, there is also a group of men and horses brewing, ready to swallow Qu'a in one bite, just wait for Sun Cejun to arrive, they will attack Qu'a together and cut off Liu Xuan's back road.
In the future, they all have their own well-known names, Sun Jiajun and Gao Jiajun!
