Sun Jian was captured, Liu Tao didn't embarrass him, and even had a drink with him. Later, he said that he would let him serve in the army, and the latter said that he was careless in his age and planned to retire in his old age.

If he has to raise a yarn, he will be forty years old this year, if he has to live for the rest of his life, then Huang Zhong is not going to go to the ground? You must know that Huang Zhong has already started to run six!

Xiao Huang Xu is almost five years old, and he is already babbling, and his older brothers and sisters help take care of him.

According to Huang Zhong's conditions, it is not a big problem to serve for another ten years. Retired at the age of seventy, and then train Huang Xu well, if there is about ten years, Huang Xu should be able to grow into a good general.

Speaking of which, Huang Xu and Lu Lingqi also got married some time ago. A year ago, Lu Bu and Huang Zhong also came back for a day or two to preside over their marriage.

And it is said that Huang Wudie, who came to the wedding banquet, fell in love with Guan Ping, who came on behalf of Guan Yu at the banquet. Huang Wudie is three years older than Guan Ping, and her personality is also like the neighbor's big sister, and she is very fascinated by this kid who has lacked father's love since he was a child.

Speaking of which, Guan Pingxu is already seventeen years old this year, and if he changes to an ordinary family, he should almost have a group of wives and concubines.

is also Guan Yu, who has been fighting all the year round, and has never cared much about the future of his son. His wife was picked up halfway, only to find that she was no longer an ordinary small family, and she was a little uncomfortable with the new environment for a while.

Fortunately, the housekeeping is still very good, and the relationship with Guan Yu's concubine is also okay, and Xiao Guan Xing and Xiao Guan Suo are also growing up day by day.

Back to the topic, Sun Jian had just surrendered, and Liu Tao also asked him to adjust his mentality a little, so he arranged to live with Sun Kuang. Who knew that about a month later, Huang Gai and Sun Jing also came over and moved in as relatives and guards of the Sun family.

Seeing that the three generals had nothing to do, Liu Tao couldn't bear it, so he planned to send the three of them to Huang Zhong's side. No matter how you deal with Xianbei or Wuhuan, you can't let them be idle.

The edict was sent back to Jiangdong like this, Sun Ce was not too surprised by this result, he sent someone over, in fact, the main thing was to contact his father to see how he was doing during this time.

According to the reply of the person sent over, Sun Jian lived very comfortably over there, practicing martial arts every day, drinking tea, reading books, and even visiting Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun from time to time, everyone was an old colleague, so it was normal for them to move around each other.

The three of them did not alienate this colleague because of Sun Ce and their own position. To a certain extent, Sun Jian was over there, leaving a lot of contacts for Sun Kuang and Sun Ce.

"It's worthy of being the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and he's still so domineering." Sun Ce looked at the edict sent back, he was not angry, but the corners of his mouth raised slightly, it was really slight, and it did not become a √.

Maybe the personalities are somewhat similar, he likes Liu Tao's straightforward personality and doing whatever he wants.

Especially during this period of time, those families in Jiangdong obviously began to plan to compete for power, how could Sun Ce let them do that, Liu Biao was made a puppet by the Jingzhou family, and he didn't know about it.

At that time, the benefits will be earned by them, but they have become the existence of the back, with Sun Ce's character and ability, he naturally will not do it.

"The question is, we can't just be obedient, can we?" Zhou Yu asked.

"If we want the other side to not be able to beat them, then we have to be capable enough. This time, I sent someone over not only to confirm my father's situation, but also to find out where they were going to attack next. Sun Ce shook his head and said.

Judging from the current results, Liu Tao seems to mainly plan to focus on Bashu, and others don't know, in fact, he is an iron ore mine that is hungry for Panzhihua. Although at this stage, the area of Panzhihua is still just a pure wilderness.

However, just like Baiyun County, as long as the minerals are mined, it will naturally surround it and gradually form an industrial city focusing on minerals and metallurgy.

In addition, Liu Tao did not plan to let go of the Southern Silk Road from Yunnan to India. Even if you can't do it now, you can do it in the future. Deserts and tropical rainforests are two extremes altogether, but tropical rainforests are easier to transform than deserts that are difficult to transform.

"I won't go south for about three years!" Sun Ce said solemnly, "There are only three years left for us, and if we can completely settle the problem of Shanyue and Wuxi Man within three years, then we will have the opportunity to compete with each other." If not, then I think it is better to know the times as a junjie. ”

Then he looked at Zhou Yu and the others, and continued: "Do you have the confidence to be tough with the big man?" ”

"Absolutely!" The surrounding civil and military responded one after another, and sure enough, such a heroic spirit was the most optimistic Sun Ce for them.

Sun Ce's careful thinking, Liu Tao didn't care too much, after all, the fight must be able to pass, and the question of when to fight. Jiangnan has not yet developed, and it will be a waste of troops and materials to fight in the past, and there will be no way to give back to the Central Plains in one or two hundred years. It can be said that for people in this era, Jiangnan is completely a money-losing goods.

The eight counties of Jingzhou, plus the territory of several counties in Yangzhou, are larger than Yanzhou plus Qingzhou and Yuzhou. The problem is that after deducting the four counties of Jingbei and the two counties of Yangzhou and Jiangbei, the total number of people in each county is not as large as that of Yuzhou.

Population was important not only to the Han Dynasty, but also to Sun Ce. Especially if Sun Ce wants to go north, he first needs a stable rear.

"The other thing is to change the king's name......" Seeing that everyone was fine, Sun Ce began to move on to the next topic.

In mid-February 194, Sun Ce officially changed his king's name to 'Wu' and proclaimed himself King of Wu. still means that, he didn't claim the title of emperor, and left a way back for himself. At the same time, they began to actively prepare their troops for war and prepare to subdue the Vietnamese and barbarians.

Liu Tao received the news, that is, he received the news, and he didn't care too much. Sun Ce will be the emperor if he has the ability, and when the time comes to be captured, he will naturally know that he is wrong.

At this moment, he is more concerned about the opening of the Yuntai Railway. After several years of construction, the railway from Yunzhong County to Taiyuan County was finally successfully completed, mobilizing more than 100,000 people to participate.

The iron carriage has been built, and it is divided into two specifications: carrying people and freight. At the same time, choose a large number of horses, and there is a transit station every ten to twenty miles along the way, where you can change horses.

At the same time, the horse that can pull heavy objects is also being cultivated in a hurry, and Zhongshan Zhang does not dare to slack off in this regard.

"Your Majesty, this railway is really amazing!" Su Shuang came over three days in advance for the final test, and when Liu Tao came, he came to him excitedly and praised the railway.

"What's going on?" Liu Tao asked curiously.

"A lot of data may not be intuitive to say, can you let Your Majesty take a ride and take a look?" Su Shuang sold it.

"Yes, it just so happens that I haven't been to the clouds for a long time......" Liu Tao smiled and motioned to Su Shuang to arrange it.
