Before Jiang Hong's prophecy came true, Jiang Hong just told Gu Yong on the front foot that Sun Jian would become a hidden danger to Yuan Shu sooner or later, and Sun Jian died on the way to attack Jingzhou on the back foot, still a familiar recipe or a familiar taste, died in the hands of his old enemy Huang Zu, or was killed by an arrow.

Jiang Hong sighed, a generation of heroes fell, but fortunately, Gu Yong had already been turned on the thief ship by himself, and he couldn't get off if he wanted to. After Gu Yong heard the news of Sun Jian's death, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood, as soon as Sun Jian died, there would be no hidden danger when Yuan Shu grew stronger, and the plan Jiang Hong said could only be a plan on paper.

In ancient times, betraying the name of the lord would be spurned by the world, and after Gu Yong scolded him, he could only honestly do things for Jiang Hong, and one road went dark. Originally, Sun Jian was not dead, according to Gu Yong's thoughts, he could at least persuade a small half of the family to fall to Jiang Hong, and now, it would be good not to cause trouble for Jiang Hong.

On this day, Jiang Hong received the news that in order to please Gongsun Zhan, ease the situation, and buy time for himself, Yuan Shao specially promoted Gongsun Zhan's younger brother Sun Fan to be Bohai Taishou. But why does Gongsun Fan want to help you Yuan Shao and not help his own brother, as soon as Gongsun Fan arrived in Bohai, he immediately defected, and Yuan Shao's mediation plan was shattered.

Gongsun Zhan marched all the way, successively won the two counties of Anping and Qinghe, and stationed troops at Jieqiao, approaching Julu County. Gongsun Chan was full of pride, feeling that Yuan Shao was not his opponent at all, Jizhou was already his own meal, and Yanzhou Qingzhou in the south was also in Gongsun Zhan's prospects.

Gongsun Zhan felt that he had a great advantage, so his brain twitched, and he appointed Yan Gang as the pastor of Jizhou, Tian Kai as the pastor of Qingzhou, and Shan Jing as the pastor of Yanzhou, and also assigned them the corresponding county guard order. Jiang Hong can only say that he deserves to be turned over while eating the bowl and looking at the pot on the plate.

Compared with the world's heroes who have become a messy porridge, Jiang Hong is much more comfortable, going to the barracks every day, walking on the street, flirting with women from good families, and listening to a few small songs in the drunken fragrance building.

Chen Zhi recruited new soldiers in Wu County, captured more than 10,000 soldiers in Wu County, removed their dross, took their essence, and returned to the furnace to rebuild together with the new soldiers recruited together, a total of 15,000 soldiers. He recruited 5,000 new soldiers in Guangling and handed them over to his generals for training. Jiang Hong felt that it was necessary for him to go to Wu County to take a look, and by the way, to see how Lu Su had governed Wu County recently.

"Meet my lord." Lu Su knew that Jiang Hong had come to Wu County, so he hurriedly came out to greet him.

Jiang Hong saw that Lu Su was still a little immature, but after more than half a year of hard work, he had become more and more mature, Jiang Hong walked in front, and Lu Su followed Jiang Hong and entered the mansion together.

"This Wu County is under the governance of Zijing, but it has become more stable and prosperous." Jiang Hong praised.

"The lord doesn't want to make fun of his subordinates, the ministers are just making a small contribution under the guidance of the lord." Lu Su said modestly.

"Hahaha, Zijing has been in this officialdom for more than half a year, and he hasn't learned anything else, but he has learned a lot from this sycophancy." Jiang Hong laughed.

"The minister was afraid, but it was true, in the past few days, there was a lot of local non-cooperation, and it was difficult to implement the minister's decree, and the progress was slow. But in the past month or two, these blockages, not to mention disappearing, but it is indeed a lot less, the ministers have the feeling that the ministers are a county guard, I heard that the lord and Gu Yong had a long talk that day, presumably the credit of the lord here is much more than the minister. Lu Su sighed.

"Yes, if this family does not cooperate, it will indeed be difficult to govern. However, Zijing didn't have to be arrogant, and when he first came out, he served as the Taishou of a county, not only did not let Wu County fall into chaos, but instead governed it in an orderly manner, and Zijing made great contributions. Jiang Hong said with great certainty.

"Thank you, Lord." Lu Su replied.

Just as Jiang Hong and Lu Su were talking, the next person suddenly came to report, and Gu Yong asked to see him.

"Let him in." Jiang Hong said.

Gu Yong was well-dressed and looked calm, walked into the door, and then saluted Jiang Hong and Lu Su:

"Minister, meet the lord, Lu Taishou."

"What's the matter?" Jiang Hong asked.

Gu Yong hesitated a little, his eyes glanced at Lu Su, Jiang Hong immediately understood Gu Yong's concerns, and then said:

"It's okay, Zijing is not an outsider."

The words that were not salty or light, but they made Lu Su's heart flood with a warm current.

"No, the minister has been wandering among the Wujun family in recent months, but the vast majority of the clan is still not optimistic about the lord, and the minister can only try his best to keep them neutral, as long as the lord does not touch and provoke them, he will not deliberately oppose the lord." Gu Yong smiled bitterly and looked at Jiang Hong with some resentment.

"Ahem, it's okay, it's already very good, it's hard work." Jiang Hong said with some embarrassment, but from this point of view, Gu Yong is now sincerely helping himself to do things.

"Thank you, lord, but your subordinates have not gained nothing in recent months." Gu Yong's tone changed.

"Oh? What's the catch? Jiang Hong was a little curious.

Gu Yong turned his head and commanded a few words to the subordinates behind him, and after a while, a sturdy young man was brought up.

"The lord, this person is the minister in Yuhang when he got acquainted, his name Ling Cao, the word Kun Tao, the minister views his martial arts is good, and he also has the meaning of joining the army to repay the service, so the minister will be a middleman and introduce him to the lord."

Ling Cao? It seems that there is a son named Ling Tong, the father and son's abilities are both very good, and the martial arts are also good, it belongs to the kind of buy one get one free, it is a huge bargain, Jiang Hong is not like Yuan Shu, he is not a famous person, Jiang Hong is hungry and thirsty now, no, he is thirsty for talent.

Knowing his ability, it is not a straw bag parallel import, and Jiang Hong is not considered to be a school exam, so he cut straight to the point and asked.

"Thou wilt follow me."

", I'm willing to obey my lordship." Ling Cao replied very dryly.

"Okay." A smile appeared on Jiang Hong's face, "I recruited 5,000 new pawns in Guangling, as long as you can convince them, you will be the commander of those 5,000 people." ”

"My lord, is this true?" Ling Cao was very surprised, and asked with a little disbelief.

"A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase, if you don't want to, I can also let you follow me, you choose."

"I'd like to give it a try in the army." Ling Cao replied without thinking.

Seeing Ling Cao who was taken down, Gu Yong asked Jiang Hong in a worried whisper:

"Lord, is there something wrong with this?"

"What's wrong?" Jiang Hong pretended to be very surprised and looked at Gu Yong, "This is the person you Gu Yuanxi recommended to me." ”

"No, Yong is a literati, Yong just thinks that this Ling Cao's martial arts are good, so he introduced it to the lord, Yong didn't expect that the lord would not test this person, I don't know his character, in case this Ling Cao is a person with bad conduct, wouldn't it be Yong's fault."

"Yuan Si is too worried, Yuan Si has never been from Rong, I don't know much about things in the army, the people in the army, if you want to convince them, ordinary mediocre people can't do it, besides, the people Yuan Si recommended to me, I value it very much." Jiang Hong said confidently, then patted Gu Yong's shoulder and walked out.

"Minister, please obey." Gu Yong looked at Jiang Hong's distant back and said softly.
