"Bastard Sun Jian~~ I swear not to stand with you!!".

In a courtyard in Zuli Beicheng, Zhou Shen scolded angrily, although Sun Jian's suggestion was good, and he could accept it, but his domineering and contemptuous gaze made him feel uneasy, coupled with Zhao Ang and the others' disrespect for him, the anger in Zhou Shen's heart can be imagined.

"Hurry up and clean up for me, this is like a kennel, is it a place where people can live!!" Zhou Shen was full of anger and vented all on the guards, this courtyard is also the best they can find, covering an area of about two acres, and the houses are relatively neat, but the roof tiles have long been removed, so Zhou Shen can only order someone to find some straw to spread on the house to shelter from the wind and rain.

"Humph!!" Zhou Shen sat in the main hall at this time, looked up at the unobstructed sky, and said angrily, "This Zhao Ang, I will also make him ruined sooner or later, what kind of acting city lord, not a grass coward, when I go back, you must call the imperial court, you can all investigate~~~."

Just as he was about to leave with his troops, Zhao Ang specially reminded him that if there was any behavior to harass the people, the agreement would be immediately nullified, and no more food and grass would be supplied, and they would be guarded as rebels.

Although Zhou Shen was extremely dissatisfied with his words, he still understood the truth that heroes do not suffer immediate losses, and he was at a disadvantage at this time, so he endured this evil breath and agreed.

"General, Nancheng sent someone to deliver grain and grass, and the person is already outside the door, please count it."

"Are you all waste, please order some food and grass and need me too!" Zhou Shen shouted and stood up, so frightened that the guard hurriedly took a few steps back before trembling his figure and said, "It was General Li who asked the general to go out and count, and the small one was just a message."

"Li Tong~~~" Zhou Shen pondered for a moment, and forced his anger to say hatefully, "Okay, take me out."

Li Tong can be said to be the person Zhou Shen is the most unwilling to offend and the most afraid to offend among his ancestors, because he has deeply implanted the impression of the devil in Zhou Shen's heart, and Zhou Shen also understands the importance of having a close relationship in other people's territory, so after he heard Li Shen's name, he immediately thought of going to make friends.

"General Li, why bother General Li to come in person for this little thing, aren't those soldiers reliable?" Zhou Shen greeted him with a smile on his face from inside the door, and said in a continuous manner.

Li Tong stood beside the carriage and arched his hand, "There is no trivial matter in the army, not to mention important materials such as grain and grass, I really can't let go if I don't come in person, since General Zhou is here, then take inventory, I still need to go back to pay the errand."

"Okay, good~~~ You go check it out, General Li is inside, please, don't hurry back~~ I still have something I want to ask General Li."

"Oh, what can I say, I still have official business~~ I won't go in" Li Tong waved his hand and replied directly.

"Well, it's like this~~ Sun Jian said that he told me to go hunting in the mountains, which is a good way, but this path ~~ I came from afar, and I am extremely unfamiliar with this place, can General Li help me point me out."

"This is simple, out of the north city to the east thirty miles is Fengming, the immortal is closer, to the west more than twenty miles, these two mountains are many fierce beasts and poisonous insects, but the mountain road is very flat, it is not difficult, General Zhou only needs to send a team of light horses to go, be careful of the enemy's movements, there will be no danger."

Although Li Tong has not been here for a long time, with his temperament, he naturally has a general familiarity with geology before he can feel at ease, so he will often go out to explore, and Li Tong can be said to know everything about the surrounding twenty or thirty miles, and there has been no danger.

"General Zhou~~ Since there is nothing else, I will go back first" Li Tong clenched his fists, stepped on his horse sideways and led his men towards Nancheng.

Zhou Shen returned to the courtyard, and immediately placed people out of the city to hunt for the time being, in the council hall on this side of the southern city, all the generals had been concentrated at this time, although Zhao Ang and his wife were still nominally the identity of the city lord, but in fact Sun Jian had begun to preside over the overall situation, from these two actions, it can be seen that Sun Jian has to win over everyone whether he is clever or strategic, which is Yang Fu, who is a military advisor, has to admit it.

Everyone looked at Sun Jian, and saw that he was smiling at this time, with a look of confidence, which made everyone feel a lot more at ease.

"The head of the family, Zhou Shen is just a husband, why don't you ask me to slaughter him, so that he is asked to go to Beicheng to settle down, I am afraid that there will be troubles" Huang Gai was still angry in his heart at this time, and from time to time proposed to capture Zhou Shen and make an example of the monkey.

Sun Jian smiled and looked at him, "It's easy to kill him, but can you kill everyone?" Can you slaughter his thousands of soldiers? Even if you could, would you be able to do it? ”。

"This~~ The head of the family is right, even if I can't do it, but I can always tell them to live in peace, I don't believe that anyone dares to resist, the troops in our hands are not less than them" Huang Gai said unconvinced.

"And then?" Sun Jian continued: "How do you want to settle them? By the time they're out of your hands, can you be sure that someone won't tell you? The court will not investigate you for the crime of killing the minister? My grandson family doesn't want to be accused of bullying the king."

When Huang Gai heard this, he was immediately shocked in his heart, and he was so frightened that he quickly knelt down and said, "It's the subordinates who have not thought it through, please punish the head of the family."

"Get up, you can say what you think in your heart, and you don't execute it without authorization, which is very appreciative of me, remember ~~ but what is on your mind in the future, you don't have to bear it ~~~ Just say it and discuss it with everyone~~~."

Wang Yi said thoughtfully on the side, "Well~~ This is the truth of one person's shortcoming~~~ The head of the Sun family is indeed eloquent, I admire it."

"Hehe, let Wang Nuxia laugh~~~ What's the point of worrying about trivial matters, let's discuss what to do next."

"I'm afraid the head of the Sun family has already made up his mind, you might as well say it directly so that everyone knows, and you can be prepared" Although Yang Fu thinks very highly of himself, he is also extremely impressed by Sun Jian, and he also faintly feels that Sun Jian has already thought of countermeasures, but he has not yet made up his mind.

Sure enough, Sun Jian hesitated for a moment, nodded and responded, "Since this is the case, I will tell you what I think, the Yellow Turban thief Kou outside the city is eyeing the tiger, although he is hiding in the dark now, but their goal is definitely our Zuli City, if we want peace, the first thing we have to do is to get rid of this kingdom, at least let it be hit hard."

"Is there a way for the head of the Sun family?" Everyone asked in unison with joy in their hearts.

Sun Jian nodded and replied, "According to my observation, there are three advantages to us."

"Oh, those three points, please tell the Sun family master in detail," Yang Fu asked.

"First of all, it can be seen that the Yellow Turban Army of the kingdom did not join forces with the Qiang people, otherwise there would have been an attack when the Qiang people chased and killed Zhou Shen."

"That's right, when the kingdom's Yellow Turban Army besieged my ancestor Li, the Qiang people didn't appear~~~~~~~, but they appeared under the city after the Sun family master came here~~~" Zhao Ang said with some embarrassment.

Sun Jian frankly admitted, "The goal of the Qiang people is indeed me, for some reason, these Qiang people will set me as a target, especially Mo Tuo, one of the five masters~~ vowing to put me to death~~ This is also what I can't understand, but since they retreated this time, I'm afraid they won't come back in a short time, especially if there is no certainty of victory, the Qiang people will never allow excessive losses, they can't afford to consume."

Yang Fu continued, "I also think so, the Qiang people themselves are not large, only a few groups live in remote areas of Xiliang, and their number is limited, which is why they cannot pose a real threat to our Han."

"The number is too small, isn't it, I'm afraid this is also caused by the Han, in order to suppress the foreign race, so that they can't expand effectively~~ So every few years there will be a large-scale slaughter plan, which is called the [slaughter of foreign dogs] combat operation is also one of the main reasons for the hatred of foreign people against my Han."

"That's right" Sun Jian replied, "Not only here, but also all parts of the Han Dynasty have this kind of action, the Wuhuan in the north, Xianbei, the Western Liang Qiangman, the Di clan between the two rivers, the Shanyue of the Jiaozhou generation south of my Wu County, and the Yi barbarian tribes in the southern wilderness area, are all oppressed by our Han court all the year round, which is also a means of self-protection of the Han Dynasty, otherwise it will develop a Xiongnu-like force back then, and the Han at this time may be difficult to fight."

"Although what the head of the Sun family said is reasonable, I still don't agree with it, but it's inconvenient to talk about this matter at this time, so don't mention it," Wang Yi sighed and said slowly.

"Yes~~ Now is not the time to say this, let's get down to business~~ Although I don't know what the reason is, since his kingdom does not cooperate with Qiangman, at this point, we will have a chance to take advantage of it~~ As for how to act, wait for a while to study it."

"That's just one thing, but what about two things?" Yang Fu asked again.

"The second is that we are based on the city, we can attack, retreat can defend, and the enemy can only camp outside, for a long time, the morale of the two sides will be greatly contrasted, and then only one breakthrough is needed, which can be broken with one blow."

Sun Jian smiled slightly, looked at everyone's expressions, and knew that his words had already played a role in them, the army would decline before the battle was a taboo for soldiers, Sun Jian had now mobilized the morale of their generals first, and was making the final arrangements.

"Okay~~ I agree with what the head of the Sun family said, and I don't know what it is?" Yang Fu nodded and said in deep agreement.

"Hehe~~ This last point is also my last killer scissors, don't you want to know why I asked Zhou Shen and them to go to Beicheng to entrench? ".

"Oh, did the Sun family master have a plan a long time ago? And is this week Shen also part of the plan? ”。

"That's right, on the surface, I asked them to go to Beicheng to guard, and by the way, I asked them to find something to do, and asked Zhou Shen to go out of the city to hunt, so that he could attract the attention of the enemy, and turn his attention to his side, but relax the surveillance of us."

But what's the use of that? What does the head of the Sun family want to do? ”。

Sun Jian smiled proudly and said, "Aren't we short of food and grass?" Don't worry~~~ Someone will send it to us~~".

"Looting food!!" Everyone was shocked and blurted out.

"Yes, I, Sun Jian, just want to cut off the grain of his kingdom and let them taste the taste of starvation~~" Sun Jian pointed at Zu Mao, "Darong, you go for a run."

"Subordinate Order!".
