After passing Jiangxia County, Guo Ye ordered Wei Yan to lead 20,000 troops to land on the north bank of the Yangtze River, capture Lujiang County, and then go north to occupy Hefei.

He also let Dian Man lead an army of 30,000 to land in Danyang County on the south bank, sweeping away the south of the Yangtze River, including Wu County, Huiji County, Jian'an County and other places, and Guo Ye himself continued to go down the east of the river with the last 30,000 soldiers and horses, destination: Jianye!

The autumn wind is bleak, the weather is cold, the chickens and dogs in Jianye City jump to open the city gate, and what catches your eye is a scene of chaos and chaos, all the order is chaotic, and the origin of all this is that the 100,000 troops in Jiangdong were wiped out in Yiling, and Guo Ye led the army of 80,000 to kill the world.

Jianye is located at the northern end of Danyang County, and the news of the fall of the major cities and counties in the south of Danyang County will spread every few hours, and the army led by Dian Man is like a bamboo, or some officials who are responsible for public security in the city cannot resist the regular army at all, and almost all the counties that the Taiping army has passed through are surrendered to the city.

The river is surging, the magnificent Yangtze River comes from the sound of war drums that vibrate all directions, the warship full of flags slowly comes into view, and after a while, the warship docks, and the energetic Taiping soldiers land.

After Guo Ye landed, Zhang Yi brought a horse to him, Guo Ye turned over and ordered the 30,000 troops to line up and advance towards Jianye.

Outside Jianye City, a group of Jiangdong Wenchen bowed down and stood outside the city, led by Zhang Zhao holding a surrender table in his hand, which was written by Sun Quan, the king of Wu, and at this moment, Sun Quan had also given up all senseless resistance.

The 30,000 army under the leadership of Guo Ye is in Jianye, the glory of autumn is a little pleasant, Guo Ye rode on a horse and looked down on Zhang Zhao, at this time, he was qualified to be condescending, but he thought about it, or turned over and dismounted, walked slowly to Zhang Zhao, reached out and took the drop table and opened it to read.

Surrendering to a young man who is only in his early twenties is definitely a shameful thing, even Zhang Zhao, who was appointed by Sun Ce, is a little embarrassed, with his eyes closed, as if he was in a fixed position, he is actually ready to wait for Guo Ye's humiliation.

King Cheng was defeated, Sun Quan was defeated, and Guo Jia was victorious, such a simple and clear fact announced a turning point in the fate of millions of people.

"The public does not have to be polite, he was ordered to come west, he has no intention of killing, he has both virtue and ability, and has assisted the Sun family to govern Jiangdong for 20 years, with outstanding virtue and virtue, and the rule is orderly, very people can do it, there is a reluctant invitation in the next place, there is still trouble in the six counties of Jiangdong in a short time, dare to ask the public to clear Jiangdong with the next one, and return the world to peace."

The words in Zhang Zhao's ears made him suddenly open his eyes and stare at Guo Ye in front of him with a calm expression and no different color, while Gu Yong behind Zhang Zhao was as calm as if he had already foreseen it, and the others whispered, caught off guard by this scene. Mix with me, mix *small-talk-net

Keep in mind

Why is Guo Ye so polite to Zhang Zhao? Whether it is a title or a word, it reveals a bit of humility and respect, is Zhang Zhao collaborating with the enemy beforehand?

No way.

Even though Zhang Zhao always disapproved of Jiangdong's life-and-death decisive battle with foreign enemies when the Jiangdong catastrophe was approaching, it was also for a reason.

Zhang Zhao was Sun Ce's important minister, and Sun Ce's last words were very clear, giving Zhang Zhao room to surrender or take the Sun family to compromise.

Then why is Guo Jia's eldest son, Guo Ye, who is now the son of the world, so polite to Zhang Zhao? It stands to reason that an important internal minister like Zhang Zhao should be the first person to be replaced after Guo Ye captured Jianye, in order to prevent accidents.

In this regard, the white-haired Zhang Zhao also didn't know what Guo Ye was going to do.

Guo Ye stepped forward and grabbed Zhang Zhao's arm, and said sincerely: "My father said that those who govern Jiangdong meticulously are none other than the public. Frankly speaking, if you come to Jiangdong in the future, you are an outsider, and if you are a little careless, or you may make a big mistake, is the public willing to see Jiangdong destroyed in the war? ”。

Zhang Zhao's face was complicated, and after thinking about Guo Ye's words carefully, his mood was very heavy.

The Taiping army swept through Jiangdong, they were "invaders" in Jiangdong, and it could even be said that they were unscrupulous, and it was foreseeable that the conflict with the people of Jiangdong would most likely lead to massacres.

Now that Sun Quan has surrendered, Zhang Zhao and these ministers have no room to resist, the only hope is that the Taiping army will not poison Jiangdong.

"The old man understands the son's intentions."

Zhang Zhao finally spoke, without a word of excuse or full of promises, it can be regarded as going down the next step to see the after-effects.

Guo Ye nodded solemnly, he understood what Zhang Zhao meant, at least he had to see how he treated the Sun family, and then talk about anything else.

Everyone got out of the way, Guo Ye led the army into the city, and the people on both sides of the road who fled in a hurry saw the arrival of the Taiping army, and immediately ran away.

Sun Quan stayed in the palace of King Wu, not long after the name was changed, he rose from a marquis to a prince, Sun Quan stood in a more glorious position than his father Sun Jian and his brother Sun Ce, but he was disillusioned in the blink of an eye.

The Taiping army swarmed into the palace, and the palace was empty and in disarray.

The door in front of the lobby was closed, and the Taiping Army had already blocked the inside and outside of the palace, Guo Ye, who was fully armored, stood in front of the lobby, wanting to push the door in, but his hand pressed on the door panel but stopped, and turned his head to look at Zhang Yi, who was slightly green but solemn with his head held high.

"Stand down."

Zhang Yi protected his heart and asked rhetorically, "Maybe there is an ambush inside?" ”

"Stand down."

Guo Ye didn't care about his question at all, and gave an order indifferently.

Zhang Yi pressed the handle of the knife and retreated, and if something happened, he immediately drew the knife and rushed in.

Squeak

Guo Ye pushed open the door of the lobby with both hands, and the light shone in from the outside, illuminating the floor in the hall, and the depth of the light was the middle of the hall, where a solemn gray and black coffin was placed.

The hall was empty, Guo Ye stepped in, looked up, there was a person sitting on the main seat, brightly dressed, neat, Sun Quan, who was wearing a crown, looked very calm, kneeling and sitting straight, with a sword in his hand.

"Bu Min Guo Ye, meet King Wu."

Guo Ye respectfully bowed to Sun Quan, although after he bowed, Sun Quan's vision would be blocked by the coffin.

"Hmph, sure enough, there is a father and a son, at this moment, the first action you see when you see Gu is not to draw a sword. But Guo Ye, when you meet the lonely king, you are carrying a weapon, and this sincerity is really limited. ”

There was not a single soldier around, but Sun Quan was still not angry and arrogant, and the momentum he exuded was extraordinary.

Guo Ye stood up, untied the saber at his waist and turned around, just throwing the sword outside.

Turning around again, Guo Ye stared at Sun Quan, who was expressionless, and said lightly: "My father asked me to convey a message to King Wu." A mountain can not accommodate two tigers, Guo and Sun must have a family to withdraw from the stage of hegemony, now the father of the family won by luck, but please King Wu will put down the success or failure, our army will not kill the Sun family, King Wu's title is reduced to a marquis, passed to the heirs, and enjoy wealth forever. ”

After saying that, Guo Ye saluted respectfully, withdrew backwards, stood outside the door, closed his eyes and waited.

Sun Quan knelt on the throne, and he already understood what Guo Jia meant.

He must die, but the Sun family can be preserved.

Is this a negotiation of conditions?

By no means.

That's an order.

Irresistible.

Guo Ye stood outside the door to leave Sun Quan, the last dignity of King Wu.

If the Taiping army is allowed to do it, Sun Quan may not be able to accept it.

Slowly pulling out the sword, a cold light appeared, Sun Quan reached out and brushed the sword side, closed his eyes and sighed.

"Father and brother, I am ashamed of the Sun family."

The blade of the sword swept through his throat, and Sun Quan leaned down on the table, blood dripping and scarlet blinding.

Guo Ye opened his eyes and turned to leave, and at the same time, the Jiangdong civilians ran over, crying and screaming that King Wu poured into the lobby.

The Taiping army has taken over Jianye City, and order in the city is gradually being restored, but it looks more like martial law, with the people closed and the roads deserted.

Guo Ye stood outside the gate of the palace, closing his eyes and listening to the crying from inside the palace.

About an hour later, Zhang Zhao, who was in tears, and Gu Yong, who was also in tears, walked out.

"The Sun and Wu clans, remove all official positions, move back to Wu County, and enjoy the marquis's food."

Guo Ye faced these two people and told the arrangements for the Sun family straight to the point.

Sun Quan is the banner of the Sun family, he is dead, it is difficult to find a successor who can make a difference, and the Wu family, which has made outstanding contributions to the Sun family, will inevitably be suppressed and restricted.

Although Zhang Zhao was in a very sad mood, Guo Ye's words still made him salute him gratefully, Guo Jia did not kill them all, he was already benevolent and righteous, and it was a good ending to put both military generals and civil servants in the Sun and Wu families.

As long as they don't make waves and plot against them, the people of these two races can live a rich life by relying on a lot of food, and they fail to dominate the world.

In this way, Zhang Zhao eliminated all worries, in order to prevent the Sun family from failing in the world, Sun Ce told Zhang Zhao to surrender in order to protect the Sun family, and now, Zhang Zhao has completed Sun Ce's will.

To quickly settle down the six counties of Jiangdong, with Zhang Zhao's help, it will inevitably get twice the result with half the effort, whether it is officialdom or the people, Zhang Zhao knows all about these situations.

Gu Yong, who was on the side, sighed in his heart: Guo Jia, you have taken another wonderful move.

Zhang Zhao was in charge, and Zhang Zhao knew everything from officialdom to money and grain taxes, and with Zhang Zhao, Guo Jia could calmly deal with the turbulent situation in Jiangdong after Sun Quan's death.

Just when Guo Ye and Zhang Zhao were discussing how to smoothly transition this situation, on the avenue on the right side of the palace, a fast horse galloped over, and immediately a person dressed in green clothes looked anxious, it was Lu Xun.

Guo Ye was very surprised that Lu Xun would appear here, and Lu Xun dismounted in front of the palace, without looking at Guo Ye, and rushed straight into the palace, half an hour later, Lu Xun walked out with tears on his face.

"Uncle Yan, my father often talks about you, Jiangdong has been a hero since ancient times, and you are the leader of this young generation. The Jiangdong Sun clan has withdrawn from the hegemony of the world, if it is overturned today, only Cao Wei Gou is left to breathe, it is better for you to assist your father and jointly create a new prosperous era! ”

Guo Ye walked up to Lu Xun and said such a thing straight to the point.

But Lu Xun didn't appreciate it, he raised his head and sneered, and said: "I went to Cao Pi, with my family background, I don't have to be an official and a half-job, why do I have to go to your Guo family to wag my tail and beg for mercy?" ”

Guo Ye's eyes were heavy, and he asked rhetorically: "An official and a half-job?" What is your family background? Under Cao Pi's rule, how many ancestors were the Three Princes and Nine Qings? How many can you rank? How many descendants will you be in? With your talent, you should be an auxiliary minister, but if you go to Cao Wei, you will be limited forever, and your descendants will be the same. Are you willing? ”。

Lu Xun sneered even more and said, "So what? ”

Guo Ye stretched out his hand and said sincerely: "Bo Yan, work with me to change this distorted way of the world with your own hands." ”
