Sun Ce's strategy in Jiangdong has achieved initial results, and now there is no opponent except for Wang Lang, Su Chen secretly sent someone to reward Sun Ce, promoted him to the general of Pingnan, and rewarded many gold and silver beauties. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
After Sun Ce occupied Danyang, if he gave birth to two hearts, it would be a trouble for Su Chen, so he couldn't let such a thing happen, thinking of his eldest son Su Jin, who had always been eager to make contributions, Su Chen wrote to him and appointed him as the governor of Danyang, and at the same time passed this appointment to Sun Ce.
For Su Chen's appointment, Sun Ce gladly accepted, he knew that as a courtier, it was impossible for him to be in charge of such a large territory, after all, there was Zhou Yu in Yuzhang, if he occupied Danyang, Wu County was too guarded by Wu Jing and his uncle, if Sun Ce wanted to stand on his own, it was not impossible.
Su Chen resigned Sun Ce from the position of Yuzhang Taishou, reappointed Zhou Yu as Yuzhang Taishou, and Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin as both lieutenants to assist Zhou Yu in governing Yuzhang.
As for Sun Ce, Su Chen appointed him as the county guard of Danyang and stationed in Danyang, while Anhui County was garrisoned by 20,000 troops of Xu Sheng and Lu Dai.
After Su Jin received Su Chen's letter, he immediately summoned Zhuge Liang and asked, "Kong Ming, this is the letter that my father just sent, you can also take a look." β
After Zhuge Liang read the letter, he couldn't help but take a breath, although he had long been suspicious of Sun Ce, he didn't expect that it was really a chess piece under the lord's announcement, I'm afraid everyone wouldn't have thought that the lord had secretly controlled most of Yangzhou.
After Zhuge Liang read the letter, Su Jin asked: "Kong Ming, why did my father send me to assist General Sun in garrisoning Danyang, could it be ......?"
"Yes, Ling Yun, now General Sun has occupied the second county of Danyang in Yuzhang, and Wu Jing is the uncle of General Sun, if General Sun has two hearts at this time, the lord is afraid that he will not be able to reach the whip, so the task on us is not simple."
"I understand, but General Sun's family is in Zhuo County, and when General Sun was at the end of his rope, his father took him in, and I don't think he will do anything rebellious." Speaking of this, Su Jin looked at Zhuge Liang again and asked, "Kong Ming, do you think General Sun will have two hearts?" β
"I don't know, I only know that my father-in-law must have his reasons for doing this, Ling Yun, haven't you always been eager to make contributions on the battlefield, this time we went to Danyang, which just came in handy."
"What do you mean by that?"
Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "This is not simple, the next step of the father-in-law will definitely let General Sun attack Huiji Taishou Wang Lang, this is our opportunity, and once Huiji is captured, if Ling Yun makes a contribution in this battle, I am afraid that he will be promoted again soon." β
"I hope it's as you say!" Although Su Jin was very excited in his heart, he didn't show it on his face.
It didn't take long for Su Jin to quietly cross the river to Danyang with Zhuge Liang and the Eagle Cavalry Guard, in order to avoid others from associating him with Su Chen, so he only let others call him Lingyun, as for Zhuge Liang, his reputation was not revealed, no one took him seriously, only regarded him as a staff member by Ling Yun's side.
Sun Ce didn't dare to slack off on Ling Yun's arrival, this is the eldest son of the lord, and in the future, if there is anything wrong in his territory, he Sun Ce will really die without redemption.
"Lingyun meets Brother Sun!"
Sun Ce smiled "haha" and greeted him enthusiastically: "Lingyun is late, I've been waiting here for a long time, and you will have to punish yourself three cups at the reception banquet later." β
"That's no problem, in the future, I will do things in Brother Sun's army, if there is anything inappropriate, Brother Sun must not take care of my identity, I should be beaten and scolded, Ling Yun will never complain!"
"Okay, your kid is a man, let's go, let's go to the barracks first!"
Ling Yun didn't put on any pretense as a son-in-law, and he had a lot of respect for Sun Ce, which made Sun Ce feel at ease, after all, it was not easy to serve such a master.
Su Chen put Su Jin in Sun Ce's army, in addition to being a little uneasy about Sun Ce, it was also a training for Su Jin, with the Eagle Cavalry Guard and Zhuge Liang to protect him, he was not worried about Su Jin's safety, if Zhuge Liang couldn't even deal with Sun Ce, then he would be too wasteful.
Sun Ce's army is full of arrogant generals, these people only value strength, seeing that Ling Yun is not very old, he is high in the position of captain, and he is quite unpleasant.
But at the banquet, Ling Yun singled out a few generals and showed his skills, these generals were quickly convinced and pushed his cup to him.
Sun Ce currently has only 50,000 troops under his command, 30,000 are borrowed soldiers from Yuan Shu, and 20,000 are the county soldiers reorganized by Yuzhang.
He sent 10,000 Danyang soldiers for Ling Yun to command, and the rest of the army was personally led by him, Su Jin commanded so many troops for the first time, and he was inevitably a little excited in his heart.
When he arrived at the school field, he saw that although the training of this 10,000 army was not as good as the Qingzhou soldiers under his father he had seen, they were all fierce and fierce, and a little training was a strong army, and he couldn't help but be moved by Sun Ce's ability to give him the most elite Danyang soldiers.
Among the generals of the Eagle Cavalry Guard under him, the most experienced commanders are Guan Ping, Guan Xing, Xu Gai and Han Hao, Guan Xing and Xu Gai have been able to take charge of themselves after the strength of the Eagle Cavalry Guard, so he let Guan Xing and Xu Gai respectively lead 5,000 men and horses and train strictly, while the original Eagle Cavalry Guard is still trained by Han Hao and Guan Ping in command of 1,000 men and horses.
In addition, he also sent Zhang Cheng and Zhang Xuan to serve as the chief bookkeeper in the two armies, while Zheng Yi continued to stay in the Eagle Cavalry Guard as the chief bookkeeper.
He didn't need to worry about training the army, he followed Zhang Hong to learn to deal with government affairs, although he is now a lieutenant, but he still tries his best to be familiar with Danyang's population and taxes, with Zhuge Liang on the side to advise him, he is gradually familiar with the current situation of the entire Danyang County.
Yuan Shu's mind of the emperor became stronger and stronger, and finally, despite Yan Xiang's opposition, in the seventh year of Chuping, it was also the seventh year of Zhongxing, and in 197 A.D. he ascended the throne in Shouchun and called the emperor, and built the name Zhongshi, placed the Gongqing, and the north and south suburbs of the temple.
After Yuan Shu became the emperor, he appointed Yuan Lian, the Taishou of the new Jiujiang, as the Yin of Huainan, widely placed the ministers and courtiers, and also built an altar for the emperor to worship the emperor in the south and north of the city. In life, he lived lavishly and extravagantly. There are hundreds of wives and concubines in the harem, all of whom wear Luo Qili costumes, and there are all kinds of exquisite food.
Yuan Shu's act of proclaiming himself emperor finally angered Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao immediately ordered the princes of the Quartet to discuss Yuan Shu in the name of the imperial court to maintain the dignity of the Han family.
Su Chen received an order from the imperial court and finally decided to take action against Yuan Shu, not only Su Chen, but Sun Ce also took the opportunity to break away from Yuan Shu and played the banner of supporting the Han family and fighting Yuan Shu together, Cao Cao was not willing to be lonely, jumped out, and prepared to attack Ji Ling in Nanyang.
Yuan Shu's actions not only angered the princes who supported the Luoyang court, but also angered Liu Zhang, Liu Biao, and LΓΌ Bu, who issued an order to Liu Biao in the name of the imperial court to send troops to attack Yuan Shu.
And Yuan Shao also sent the general Yan Liang to send troops from Yanzhou to attack Shouchun, and for a time Yuan Shu became a rat crossing the street, and everyone shouted and beat him.
