Chapter 251: Little Overlord
【Chinese Network】, to provide you with wonderful reading.
Sun Ce was stationed in Nieyang and was warmly welcomed by the people of Nieyang, which was even better than that of Xi County.
After all, although Xixian County was almost broken by Xu Rong, he didn't know that Xu Rong would slaughter the city at that time. When the news of the slaughter of Nanxiang and Shunyang came, the people of all counties were frightened. Yuan Shu is Hun, Sun Ce is ruthless, he has broken through dozens of manors and killed many people, but compared to Xu Ronglai, they are all trivial. If we take into account that they robbed Haoqiang's land and did not fill their own pockets, and distributed it to the landless people, the only people who hate them are the robbed Haoqiang, and there are many people who have a good impression of them.
If you are not afraid of not knowing the goods, you are afraid of comparing goods. Facing Xu Rong, who slaughtered the city without saying a word, even the family Haoqiang who was robbed by Sun Ce felt that Sun Ce was a little more acceptable, after all, he only needed money, not his life.
So as soon as Sun Ce entered Niyang, he saw an old acquaintance - Zong Chengzong Shilin. Zong Cheng is an all-people, and Anzhong is also a county, but the county governance is gone, and his family lives in Wancheng. This time, when he heard that Xu Rong was besieging Sui County, he also rushed to Nieyang, and as a representative of the squire, he asked to see Sun Ce, and asked Sun Ce to repel Xu Rong and save the people of the county from fire and water.
Seeing Lou Gui beside Sun Ce, Zong Cheng breathed a sigh of relief while being embarrassed. Sun Ce can accept Lou Gui, there should be room for negotiation.
Seeing this situation, Sun Ce deeply felt that Lou Gui's suggestion was timely. These people were all frightened by Xu Rong, if he didn't come, as long as Xu Rong gave them a good face, they would probably surrender immediately and offer everything Xu Rong needed, as long as they could live. Now that he is here, it is too late for Xu Rong to change his strategy, the label of brutality and inhumanity has been attached to him, and there is no chance to change it.
This is the value of a counselor. Zhao Yan is right, Lou Gui is not suitable for commanding troops, he is suitable for being a strategist.
Sun Ce followed the advice and said impassionedly that he would definitely fight with Xu Rong to the end. With the success of rescuing Lixian and Xixian in front, and there was no other choice except Sun Ce, the people of Nieyang believed in Sun Ce, and sent generous gifts and rewarded the army, even singing praises with a clear conscience. At this time, a servant who came with him from Xixian County told the legend of Fenglin Wuguan, and immediately won the support of countless people, and the myth that Sun Ce was the reincarnation of the fire phoenix spread at once.
Soon, someone linked Huofeng with Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu. Xiang Yu is a Chu person, the Chu people take the bird as a totem, the word feather itself is related to the bird, Xiang Yu's grandfather is also called Xiang Yan, and he is also a bird. Like Sun Ce, Xiang Yu is also from Jiangdong, eight thousand Jiangdong children are rampant in the world, it is logical that Sun Ce is the reincarnation of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, he is so young, he can be called a little overlord.
I don't know which master who perfected this theory, in short, the name of Xiaobawang quickly spread among the people. If Zhao Yan, Zong Cheng and others with political experience still think that the nickname of Xiaobawang is a little inappropriate, ordinary people are already talking about it enthusiastically, and many people rush to the vicinity of the camp to see the demeanor of Xiaobawang.
The soldiers on duty don't know how much it took to persuade the people who were burning with the fire of gossip. When he learned that Sun Ce had become a little overlord, and they were warriors under the command of the little overlord, he immediately felt honored. In addition, the people of Nieyang are grateful for their responsibility to defend the land, and they inevitably send words of praise, which makes them full of pride, their chests are tall, and they walk with the wind, more like a little overlord than Sun Ce.
The morale of the whole army was high, and even a little excited.
Sun Ce asked Zong Cheng and others to enter the account and speak. A group of Nieyang local tyrants sat together, but they just smiled humbly, and few dared to talk nonsense in front of the little overlord. Zong Cheng, as a celebrity, became a representative and negotiated with Sun Ce. In fact, he spends most of his time in Wancheng and rarely returns to Anzhong, and it is not easy for these dirt buns to see him.
A few months ago, it was not easy for Sun Ce to see him. Time has passed, and now it has been changed to him to make an appointment to see Sun Ce. After waiting outside the big tent for more than half an hour, Sun Ce finally invited them into the big tent.
"The military affairs are busy, I have neglected you, forgive me." Sun Ce arched his hands politely, looking embarrassed.
Zong Cheng has bitterness and can't say it. knew that Sun Ce was deliberate, but he could only pretend not to care. People are under the low eaves, and they have to bow their heads.
"Xu Rong is brutal, the big war is imminent, the general has every opportunity, we shouldn't have bothered the general. It's just that Nieyang's father is grateful for the general's great kindness and wants to thank the general in person. ”
Sun Ce sighed very bitterly. "As a general, it is the responsibility to defend the land, I have inherited the order of General Yuan and entered Nanyang, although I am shallow and talented, I dare not slack off. Although he won small victories one after another, his ability was limited and his troops were outnumbered, and he had not been able to capture Xu Rong, which was really ashamed of his father in Nanyang, and the people who died in Nanxiang and Shunyang counties. Mr. Shilin, are the gentlemen of Wancheng okay? ”
Zong Cheng scolded in his heart. What a fart, you are no longer in Wancheng, but that Du Ji is more ruthless than you, assassinating history, and counting Nanyang Haoqiang's family with Nanyang Taishou Yan Xiang and Wanling Du Xi. As a family, which family has not seen any unpleasant private affairs, which one has not done something illegal and prohibited, it is okay if you don't check, there must be something wrong with a check. Du Ji found out these things clearly, made them public one by one, and arrested most of the family Haoqiang who had just been released from Nanyang Prison, and the name was justified. The name of Jingzhou's assassin history rang out all of a sudden, and there was an endless stream of people looking for him to complain, and the family of Wancheng became a street rat, and everyone shouted and beat him.
But Zong Cheng couldn't say these words to Sun Ce, so he could only pinch his nose and swallow the bitter water in his stomach.
"Good, good, good."
Sun Ce was very satisfied. Du Ji, a capable official, was really not talking about playing, his means were ruthless enough, and he finally completed the final blow and completely subdued the powerful family of Wancheng. In the past, killing people was a trick and a robbery, but now killing people is a practice of the law and a way to eliminate violence and peace and goodness, and the effect is completely different. He provides the target, and Du Qi is responsible for execution, which is better than him killing people directly.
That's what the Legalists do. It is not unreasonable for Cao Cao and Zhuge Liang to unanimously adopt Legalist means to govern the country, practice hegemony, and build a hegemonic mansion. Confucianism is too slow, and the Eastern Han Dynasty family has been strong and majestic for more than 100 years, and it is in need of the harshness of Legalism to prescribe the right medicine. Cao Pi later changed his ways, acted in the middle of the nine grades, and bowed to the family, which allowed Sima Yi to appear on the stage and dig his own foundation.
Of course, the Sima family didn't end up with anything good. The king and the horse share the world, and there are few emperors of the Sima family who are not nested.
"That's good, the rear is stable, so I can fight with peace of mind." Sun Ce made an epilogue and immediately turned the topic to the current priorities. "Xu Rong is good at using soldiers, and the Xiliang soldiers are cruel, and this battle is not easy to fight. Mr. Shilin, you are an all-your-owned, and you are a famous person in Nanyang, can you give me some advice. ”
Zong Cheng sighed secretly. "Dare to explain the situation to the general. Knowing the art of war, based on common sense, Xu Rong turned to the city of Qiancheng, and he should have come for food. If tens of thousands of Xiliang soldiers get food and control the city, it will be very unfavorable to the general. ”
Sun Ce had already known this truth and didn't need to be reminded by Zong Cheng, but he didn't say anything, just looked at Zong Cheng quietly to see what he could say. This was the last chance he gave Zong Cheng. If he is still half-hearted and refuses to cooperate, then he will be blamed for being black.
"According to the fool's plan, the general can enter the county, confront Xu Rong, gather the surrounding counties, and besiege Xu Rong."
Sun Ce was very satisfied. "Is Mr. Shilin willing to lobby for me?"
"Dare to disobey." For mobile phone users, please browse M. Reading for a better reading experience.
