Chapter 771: Half the Sky
Not far away, Cai Mao, Guo Jia, and Shen You looked at the surrounding terrain, looked up at the sky for a while, looked down at the water for a while, looked left and right, circled back and forth around the hillside a few times, and finally chose a place and stretched out his hand.
"I think it's a good place, facing north and facing south, and the place is spacious, so you don't have to worry about the north wind and enjoy the spring sun. Even if there is a wind, the blowing face is not cold, there is Gusu City on the left, Taihu Lake on the right, there are both humanities and landscapes. After the great victory, a monument is erected here to record tomorrow's grand event, so that future generations can know the demeanor of the monarchs. ”
Guo Jia and Shen You laughed, looked at the terrain, and were quite satisfied. Guo Jia said to Shen You: "Zizheng, will the people of your Shen family come tomorrow?" ”
Shen You is very confident. "Don't worry, it will come."
"How many more do you think will come?"
Shen You thought for a moment. "Needless to say, the Lu family admires the general very much, and he will definitely come to help. The Zhang family should also come. Zhang Yun is famous in the state, but Sheng Xian and Xu Gong don't look down on him, and he has not been able to come out so far, the general sincerely invited, as long as he is not stupid, he will definitely come. The Gao family should also come, rebuild the history of Wu Hui, and recount such a major event as the story of Shunyu, and it is too unreasonable for the descendants of Gao Tao not to participate......"
Shen You crossed his fingers and counted a few, four or five that came with confidence, four or five that might or may not come, and seven or eight that would definitely not come. Guo Jia and Cai Mao listened to it, and they knew in their hearts, basically most of the families in Wu County who really ranked number one were here, and it was already clear that the hearts of Wu County would be turned against each other, and as soon as these people sat here tomorrow, Sun Ce would have already won half of it.
Who would have thought that Sun Ce's stay in the Lu Council would have such a role. If anyone expected this day, it was probably only Sun Ce himself. He has always been respectful to Lu Kang's disciples, and today he finally paid off. Taking Gusu City lightly with thousands of men and horses, and the people's hearts have been determined without a fight, this is the result of Sun Ce's previous forbearance.
Although no one said it, they all knew in their hearts that as a young man, it is not difficult to be high-spirited and unstoppable, but what is difficult is to be able to restrain their likes and dislikes and do what should be done. Just think about Sun Jian, he is almost forty years old, if it weren't for Sun Ce's guidance, he wouldn't know how to deal with literati, obviously saved Lu Ping and formed a good relationship, but he and Lu Kang are like strangers.
Therefore, this kind of thing is still to be managed. The foundation that the Sun family has now has been accumulated by Sun Ce in just one year or so, which is even more abundant than Sun Jian's previous efforts in the past ten years. With such a monarch, why worry about the future, just give full play to your talents.
Guo Jia and Shen You had a heart, looked at each other and smiled.
The discussion was decided, and Cai Mao informed Sun Ce of the results, Sun Ce looked at it, and felt very satisfied, and asked some preparations to confirm that the things that should be prepared were properly prepared and foolproof.
——
Wei Teng walked out of Zhang's house again. Zhang Yun personally greeted Wei Teng, invited Wei Teng to the hall, and invited Wei Teng to take a seat. Wei Teng first thanked Zhang Yun for his help last time. If it weren't for Zhang Yun's righteous action, he might have been killed by the disciples sent by Xu Gong.
Zhang Yun is twenty-five or six, with a fair complexion, medium build, strong physique, and a bit of pride. In the face of Wei Teng's thanks, he said a few polite words, then went straight to the point and asked Wei Teng's intention. Sun Ce was going to fight Xu Gong tomorrow, and at this time he sent Wei Teng into the city, and Zhang Yun couldn't figure out what he meant.
Wei Teng smiled. "General Sun listened to Lu Gong and Shen Zizheng talk about Bozong, and he admired him very much, and sent me to invite you to discuss the plan."
"It's an honor." Zhang Yun said with a smile: "I heard Lu Gong talk about General Sun, and he also admired him very much, so I waited for General Sun to defeat Xu Gong, so that I could go and meet the young hero who was born in my Wu County." ”
"Then General Sun will be waiting for you in Tiger Hill tomorrow."
Zhang Yun was stunned for a moment, and the smile on his face froze. "Tomorrow?"
"That's right, it's tomorrow." Wei Teng smiled even more meaningfully. He did not approve of Sun Ce's decision, and invited the Wu Jun family to go out of the city to watch the battle when the victory or defeat was uncertain, which was tantamount to forcing the Wu Jun family to express its position, in case no one was willing to accept the invitation, it would be a bit embarrassing, and it would definitely have an impact on morale. But Sun Ce resolutely did so, and he had no choice but to come.
Zhang Yun pondered for a moment. "Brother Zhou Lin, have you been to Duke Lu's Mansion?"
"I've been there, and Lu Gong gladly accepted the invitation."
Zhang Yun's eyes flashed slightly, he glanced at Wei Teng, his cheeks twitched twice, and he quickly made a decision, and a smile resurfaced on his face. "Since Duke Lu is going, then I should accompany him for a ride."
Wei Teng smiled, but a little reluctantly. Lu Kang agreed to go, he could understand that the Lu family was already tied to Sun Ce, and if Sun Ce was defeated, Xu Gong would definitely not let go of the Lu family. But Zhang Yun didn't have to do this at all, he hadn't even met Sun Ce, let alone made friends. The reason why he agreed to go was probably only because of Lu Kang. I have to say that the relationship between Sun Ce and the Lu family has helped a lot, Zhang Yun may not believe Sun Ce, but he believes in Lu Kang.
With Zhang Yun's consent, Wei Teng conveyed Sun Ce's respect for Gao Dai and asked Zhang Yun to convey it. Considering that Gao Dai was an official of the Taishou Mansion, Xu Gong watched it more closely, and General Sun did not issue a formal invitation, but if Gao Dai was willing to attend, Sun Ce would be very welcome.
Zhang Yun agreed and sent Wei Teng out. Wei Teng still has several more to visit, who is it, Wei Teng didn't say, and Zhang Yun didn't ask. Seeing Wei Teng away, Zhang Yun returned to the inner hall, and his wife Zhu came out of it. Zhang Yun explained the situation again and asked, "Madam, you say, will it be a bit Meng Lang if I do this?" ”
Zhu said with a smile: "If you still know your Meng Lang, it means that you are not the real Meng Lang." Okay, now that you've decided, don't look ahead and do it. You are young Meng Lang, Lu Gongyi is old, will you still be Meng Lang? Follow the predecessors, you won't suffer. ”
Zhang Yun walked up to Zhu's side, lowered his head, listened to her huffed belly, and said with a smile: "With Madame's words, I am relieved." I can't help it, whether it's Sheng Xian or Xu Gong, they all rely on themselves and look at me as a ranger, and it is impossible for me to have me in the eyes of the Yuan League Master. The situation of the Sun family is similar to that of my Zhang family, this General Sun has the ability to tolerate people, even Lu Gong is full of praise for him, I think he should be a Ming Jun, even if he can't win the world, sit in the southeast, and wait for the world to be peaceful, it is also possible. Alas, our child is about to be born, and I have to fight for him. ”
"Since you want to fight, don't hesitate, let it go." Zhu hugged Zhang Yun's face. "Without further ado, go to see Gao Kongwen immediately, and then go out of the city overnight. If Xu Gong gets the news, you may not be able to get out. ”
"And what do you do?"
Zhu touched his stomach and looked calm. "At this time, Xu Gong only has General Sun in his eyes, and he will not hurt me. I'll go and hide in the house, that is, for a day, and it will be fine. ”
Zhang Yun was surprised. "Are you so confident?"
Zhu glanced at Zhang Yun, pursed his lips and smiled: "A person who can do his best even for a woman, what can't he do?" ”
Zhang Yun stroked his forehead and smiled, and sighed: "It's still Mrs. Wisdom, I'm ashamed." It seems that this Wu County man is not yet known, but the Wu County women are looking forward to Sun Lang's arrival. Xu Gong lost half of the sky without a fight, and he was unjustly defeated. ”
