Luo Jun's face immediately changed, and Yuan Min and the others also looked nervous. They looked at the army that was constantly crossing the river behind Sun Ce, and a cold air rose from their backs and rushed straight to the back of their heads.

Liu Chong, the king of Chen, stationed troops in Yangxia and claimed to be the general of the Auxiliary Han Dynasty.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the prince could be crowned king, but he could not govern the people, let alone lead the army, he could only sit on food and rent, and he could do learning if he had nothing to do. In any case, leading troops into battle is not allowed from the institutional point of view. Not to mention calling yourself a general, whether you are an auxiliary Han or an anti-Han.

The prime minister has the duty of supervising the king, Liu Chong is guilty, and Luo Jun and his officials can't escape. To put it lightly, this is a dereliction of duty, and the commander of the car is waiting for disposal. To put it seriously, this is a rebellion, and it is possible to punish all three of you. Sun Ce personally led a large army to come, and Jiang Gan suddenly threw out this sentence, Luo Jun and the others were naturally terrified, and they were so frightened that they couldn't possess their bodies.

With this handle in hand, Sun Ce could justifiably take down all of them at once.

After a short period of consternation, Gong Cao Wu Qian stepped forward, rushed to Sun Ce's side, and bowed his hand. "General, although this matter is not in line with the imperial court system, it is also a forced and helpless move. The rebellion was everywhere, and the court was left and right by thieves, and our king and Luo Xiang had to deal with it expediently in order to protect the territory and the people. General, my king is the great-great-grandson of Emperor Xiaoming, he has always been loyal to the imperial court, and he has never had different intentions, and the people of Chen State can testify to it. ”

Sun Ce was noncommittal. Guo Jia chuckled: "It seems that King Chen and Luo Xiang are very popular with the people, but I don't know who you mean by the rebels?" ”

Wu Qian secretly complained to himself, this is another sentence of heart-wrenching. King Chen and Luo Tong violated the imperial court system but could still win the hearts of the people, isn't that just a rebellion? However, Guo Jia did not rush to kill everything, he left him a way out. He immediately said: "The rebels are naturally those states and counties that don't remember the danger of the imperial court and only know how to attack each other. ”

Guo Jia looked at Wu Qian and smiled without saying a word. Wu Qian knew that it would not work if he did not take a stand, otherwise he would not be able to pass this hurdle today. He gritted his teeth. "Naturally, it is Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou, and Liu Bei, Yuan Tan and others who have been replaced by themselves."

Guo Jia nodded and turned his head to look at Luo Jun. Luo Jun was forced to be helpless, so he had to echo and said: "What Wu Gongcao said is exactly what we think. In the first year of the first peace, Liu Dai and others gathered soldiers in sour dates, and drank and feasted all day long, but refused to fight with Dong Zhuo. followed by cannibalism and struggle for power, which is really chilling. ”

"Cannibalism? What did Luo Xiang hear? Let's hear it. ”

Luo Jun's face flushed. "Yanzhou's assassination of Liu Dai to kill Dongjun Taishou Qiaomao, and Zhou Yu's plot to seize my Yuzhou are all immediate matters, and the general should have heard of it."

"Something else?"

Luo Jun gritted his teeth and was silent for a while, but he still couldn't bear Guo Jia's persecution, so he had to say again: "Jizhou Mu Hanfu gave up Yuzhou, but was forced by Yuan Shao, and he still couldn't be spared when he fled to Chenliu. ”

Sun Ce glanced at Luo Jun and finally opened his mouth. "Of course I know this, I just thought Luo Xiang didn't know. Prime Minister Luo, although it is said that he is in a hurry to follow the power, after all, it violates the imperial court system, now that Dong Zhuo has been executed, the Son of Heaven is in charge, and all the virtuous people complement each other to reorganize the discipline, this expedient thing can no longer be more appropriate. Plead guilty yourself. ”

"Whoa." Luo Jun said that he was suffering, took out the seal ribbon around his waist, and put his hands in front of Sun Ce. Guo Jia took the ribbon. Luo Jun stepped aside, raised his head, and looked at the yellow warbler who was jumping around uneasily in the treetops, but did not dare to sing, and sighed secretly. The jackal is in charge, and the martial artist is rampant. Sun Ce himself has done countless things that violate the system, how can he have the face to say others. But he has soldiers in hand, who dares to say about him, who can say about him, and what is the use of saying it?

Sun Ce looked at Wu Qian again. "Wu Jun is clear about affairs, and the post of minister of state is temporarily represented by Wu Gongcao, and arrangements will be made when the imperial edict arrives."

Wu Qian was taken aback and couldn't believe his eyes. He is Chen Guogong Cao, Luo Jun is guilty, he is also an accomplice, Sun Ce actually asked him to act as the Minister of State, what does this mean? Doesn't he want to take Chen Guo under his control?

Guo Jia stuffed the seal ribbon he had just received from Luo Jun's hand into Wu Jun's hand, closed his hand again, and patted it gently. "Wu Jun, the general doesn't want to be unfavorable to Luo Xiang, he just wants to protect him. Shandong is in turmoil, Chen Guo is independent, you and King Chen have meritorious service in defending the land, but the court system cannot be lightly violated, and it is better to take the initiative to ask for guilt than to be exposed. The general acts as an agent for Yuzhou, where his responsibilities lie, and he can't help but do so, and I hope you will understand. ”

Wu Qian suddenly realized and hurriedly thanked him. "It's better to be respectful than to obey. He must do his best to protect the countryside. ”

Sun Ce nodded appreciatively. This was all expected by him. Wu Qian is originally from Chen Liu, and he is also from a big family, and he is a distant relative of Wu Kuang, but it has been in decline for too long now, and Chen Liu's Wu family's light has not been touched at all. He has worked hard for half his life to become a meritorious officer, and his career prospects are bleak. Let him act as Chen Xiang, how can he not do his best. The country of Chen is his hometown, and once it becomes a battlefield, the industry he has worked so hard to accumulate will be in vain. Even if he thinks about himself, he will do his best.

"In troubled times, the first responsibility of the shepherd is to protect the land and the people. As for Prime Minister Luo, his political achievements are obvious to all, I will go to the court to ease his cheeks, you don't have to worry, do things with peace of mind. ”

"Whoa." Wu Qian, Yuan Min and others were relieved and grateful.

Luo Jun listened, although he didn't fully believe it, the resentment in his heart still faded. Guo Jia is right, even if they are meritorious, it is a fact that they violated the imperial court system. Sun Ce acted as the pastor of Yuzhou, and it was also his duty to deal with it in this way, and no one could find any contradictions. didn't immediately put him in the car and send him to Chang'an, which was already treating him well.

Luo Jun looked at Sun Ce from afar, and his heart was awe-inspiring. He is not stupid, how can he not see Sun Ce's intentions, Sun Ce clearly saw his position, so he accepted his rights, and wooed Wu Qian and Yuan Min to ensure that Chen Guo would not get out of his control. However, Sun Ce did a good job, so he had no choice but to hand over Chen Guo. Otherwise, without Sun Ce's action, Wu Qiang, Yuan Min and others will also draw a line with him in order to protect themselves. Without the support of these local tycoons, he could not have done anything.

"Prime Minister Luo, before the imperial edict is issued, you should act with the army." The corners of Sun Ce's mouth were slightly raised, and he was full of smiles. "I heard that Luo Xiang is an all-round talent, I just want to ask for benefits from time to time, and I hope Luo Xiang won't think I'm stupid."

Luo Jun smiled bitterly, this is going to put me under house arrest, and it is really a good means, it is really a ring after a ring, and it is overwhelming. Now, where is there any other choice, people are swordsmen, I am fish and meat, so I can only bow my head and obey orders.

"Thank you for the general's success, I'm afraid that Luo Junde is shallow and thin, and he will mistake the general."

Sun Ce laughed, walked over, patted Luo Jun's arm, and said softly: "If Luo Xiang is really so incompetent, why should I be so excited? As he spoke, he raised his eyebrows. Township Party, I've been paying attention to you for a long time. Your daughter is seven years old this year, and your wife had a miscarriage three years ago, and she just got pregnant not long ago, I'm not wrong. ”

Luo Jun couldn't cry or laugh, and sighed. Sun Ce has been paying attention to him for a long time, but he has never taken Sun Ce in his eyes, how can he not fall into his troubles.
