"Enshrine Sun Ce as a rebellious general, lead the Marquis of Wu, and be in charge of all military affairs in the six counties of Jiangdong!" In the hall of Wu County, the shrill voice of a eunuch sounded, and a large number of people knelt below, led by a young man in his twenties. (We don't know the format of the holy decree, let's follow the court drama)

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" After the eunuch had finished reading the decree, everyone thanked him in unison. "Gong Jin, now the six counties of Jiangdong, I finally have the final say!" After the eunuch who passed the decree went down, the young man at the head smiled at another handsome military general of the same age. These two people are none other than Sun Ce, the little overlord who has been famous in Jiangdong over the years, and his right-hand man, who is also his brother Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin.

"Congratulations, Brother Bo Fu, now you can finally justifiably order one party and divide the official position!" Zhou Yu was also smiling, but there was something in his words. For a long time, although Sun Ce captured Jiangdong two years ago, his official position was only that of Yuan Shu's Zhichong lieutenant. The boss is just such an official, and his brothers are even more miserable. Like Zhou Yu and others, it would be good to be able to mix a military Sima or a captain, but it is very incommensurate with the power they actually hold, and in the long run, people's hearts will inevitably fluctuate.

Now that Sun Ce has sealed the rebellious general and the Marquis of Wu, and more importantly, he can be in charge of all military affairs in the six counties of Jiangdong, which means that Sun Ce can justifiably divide the position. Sun Ce is not a fool, at the moment Feng Chengpu is the Taishou of Danyang, Huang Gai is the Taishou of Yuzhang, and Han Dang is the Taishou of Luling. These three people are all descendants of his father and son for many years, and now they naturally can't be left out in the cold. As for the rest of the people, they all got higher positions one after another, and one by one the county commanders took office, and Zhou Yu was even named the governor of the Jiangdong Navy Army.

That night, everyone set up a banquet to celebrate, and after the banquet was over, Sun Ce did not go to sleep drunk, but pulled Zhou Yu to talk at night. "Gong Jin, now that the six counties of Jiangdong are in my hands, in your opinion, what should I do next?" Sun Ce asked with a flushed face. I don't know if it's because I've drunk too much or if I'm excited.

"Hehe, Brother Bofu, although the six counties of Jiangdong are in the hands of the king. However, there are mountains in Jiangdong that are in turmoil, and the power of the big families is intertwined, and with these two constraints, it is difficult to develop much by relying on Jiangdong alone. Zhou Yu smiled, paused and said: "Besides, although Jiangdong is rich, the population is also sparse, and it is already the limit to be able to support an army of more than 100,000 troops. ”

"What Gong Jin said is not bad, in your opinion, what should I do?" Sun Ce listened to Zhou Yu's words, his expression was no longer as complacent as before, and he became more and more serious.

"To the south of the six counties of Jiangdong is Jiaozhou, which is barren but has a population of one million and fertile land. Although the Shi family occupies it now, it is difficult to compete with us with his military strength, and if he can take it for his own use, it will be a great help. Moreover," Zhou Yu also lowered his voice when he said this: "Huainan to the north and Jingzhou to the west are both rich lands. Huainan has a population of no less than one million and is a place of grain production, and Jingzhou is the belly of the world. ”

Sun Ce's eyes also lit up, and then he was a little embarrassed: "Jingzhou Liu Biao and I have a grudge against killing my father, but Huainan Yuan Shu took me in when I was lonely and poor. Although everyone is just using each other, it can be regarded as a favor to me, and if I want to raise troops to seize his territory, I am afraid that it will be difficult to start. ”

Zhou Yu smiled slightly, and Sun Ce's words were also expected by him. As a lord, he is good at everything, and he is a hero in the world, but the disadvantage is that he is sometimes easy to be emotional and has too many grievances. However, he had already thought of his rhetoric, and said at the moment: "Yuan Shu, this person is a dry bone in the mound, but the previous Xingbing army in Xuzhou was killed by Liu Bei and returned. With his talent, this place in Huainan is absolutely undefensible. When the time comes, if I don't take it, I'm afraid that Liu Bei will have to do it. ”

"Liu Bei?" Sun Ce was also stunned when he heard this name, and then sighed: "My ancestor said in the past that the princes of the Eighteenth Route crusaded against Dong Zhuo, but the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang were really heroes. Unexpectedly, this Liu Bei occupies the two states of Xu and Yu, as if he is also a prince. ”

"More than that," Zhou Yu said: "Recently, I heard that Liu Bei opened Xuzhou College to train grassroots civil and military officials, do you know what this move is?" ”

"Huh?" Sun Ce was also stunned, and after thinking about it, he still shook his head a little dazedly.

Liu Bei's move is to cultivate grassroots talents, and no longer rely too much on the recommendation of the family. There are many wealthy families in Jiangdong, and if this law can be implemented, its constraints can be reduced. Zhou Yu explained almost word for word.

"Sure enough!" Sun Ce was already surprised and excited, these big families also really gave him a headache, these people are intertwined, it is obviously unrealistic to want to eliminate them in one fell swoop, and he has to rely on them to govern Jiangdong by himself. Thinking of this, Sun Ce also sighed: "This Liu Bei can use this method, why can't I?" Gongjin, I intend to open a college in Poyang County to cultivate talents like Liu Bei, what do you think? ”

"It's a very good law." Zhou Yu also nodded in agreement, but then said with a smile: "Bo Fu doesn't know anything, but this method is not something I can see through." ”

"Oh, who is that?" Sun Ce knew that Zhou Yu was never untargeted, and hurriedly asked.

"This person is my dear friend, a native of Linhuai, surnamed Lu Mingsu Zijing." Zhou Yu introduced with a smile.

"The one who borrowed food when I waited for the army? This person can have such a vision, he is really a great talent at that time, I should invite him! Sun Ce is also a person who is very eager for talents, and when he heard it, he couldn't wait to find Lu Su in person. However, considering that Xiapi is now Liu Bei's territory, in the end, Zhou Yu wrote a handwritten letter and sent someone to send it to Lusu to ask him to go out of Jiangdong.

In the city of Xiapi, "I have admired the name of Huailu Zijing for a long time, and now I say that Zhao is uninvited, and I hope Mr. will forgive me!" "There is an uninvited guest in Lu Su's house today, it is no one else, but Zhao Feng.

It turned out that when Zhao Feng and Liu Bei discussed the matter, they deeply felt that there was a shortage of talents in Xuzhou now, especially the lack of strategists with strategic vision. Chen Deng has been so sick that he has been sick for nine lifetimes, and it is difficult for Chen Gong to support the overall situation alone, and the remaining Sun Qian and Mi Zhu are even more numerous. Zhao Feng and Liu Bei both thought about it, and asked Mi Zhu, who was a local, what talents there were in Xuzhou, and they learned that the most famous Zhang Zhao had gone to Jiangdong. Just when the two were depressed, Xu Sheng, the new county guard of Xiapi, told them that there was a person in Xiapi who was fighting for righteousness and squandering wealth, and it was Lu Su and Lu Zijing of Linhuai County.

Liu Bei didn't care much about it, but Zhao Feng was already shocked: Lu Su Lu Zijing, this is almost the same level of talent as Zhou Yu and even Zhuge Liang, his couch pair is almost comparable to Zhuge Liang's Longzhong pair, why is he still at home at this time and didn't go to Jiangdong? Later, after thinking about it, I remembered that this Lu Su was only put into service after Sun Quan came to power. Now that Sun Ce is still here, naturally he hasn't gone to Jiangdong yet.

Since you're still here, I'm going to kidnap you. Liu Bei is now a pastor in Xuzhou, and it is difficult to have time between leisure, so Zhao Feng volunteered to see how this Lu Su is. Liu Bei still trusted Zhao Feng's vision, so Zhao Feng changed into civilian clothes and came to visit.

"The general's words are serious, the general Jiuli Mountain defeated Cao Ying, Xuzhou City punished Lu Bu, Guangling cut the thunder book, Yuzhou captured Cao Xiu, Tuntian raised troops in the plains, ran schools and recruited talents in Pengcheng, and the famous people were heard all over the world. Can't stop a Tian Gu Weng, how dare you be a general so praised! Lu Su complimented again and again.

"Huh?" Zhao Feng was a little uncomfortable for a while when he saw Lu Su exalting himself like this, but after reacting, he couldn't help but feel secretly proud: even Lu Su admired himself so much, presumably his reputation is not small now.

"The gentleman praised it falsely, and some little things were just done according to orders. Zhao is here for nothing else, just ask Mr. to go out of the mountain and assist my father-in-law, General Liu. Zhao Fengsuo directly said his intention, and while speaking, he looked at the Lu Su in front of him, this old man really looked no different from ordinary people, and even seemed to be very loyal and honest. However, the occasional twinkle in his eyes is enough to show that he is not a simple-minded person.

"The general is a quick talker!" Lu Su was also stunned when he heard this, and then smiled.

"That's nature, this is Mr.'s house, today the dialogue is out of my mouth, into Mr.'s ears, why do you need to make a fuss, so many scruples?" Zhao Feng also smiled, but he was secretly proud in his heart: I thought that I was familiar with the Three Kingdoms in my previous life, and I should have known that you were not a sour Confucian who liked to play tricks, and how could I play with you.

"The general is really different, I recently heard that Liu Envoyjun occupies the land of the two states, and Xuzhou is prosperous, presumably it is mostly from the general's handwriting. However, the general can know what is Liu Yuanjun's biggest hidden danger now? Lu Su complimented, but asked again.

"Cao Ying?" Zhao Feng asked tentatively.

"It can be said that it is, but if you think about it, the general thinks about it, now Liu Yuanjun occupies the two prefectures of Xu and Henan, which are hundreds of miles from east to west, but less than 100 miles from north to south. If Cao Ying of Yanzhou led his army south at this time, he did not need to occupy all the lands of the two states, but only needed to take Lu and other places, so that Liu Zhijun and General Guan could not be connected! Lu Su said slowly.

"Indeed!" Zhao Feng also broke out in a cold sweat when he thought of this, but then he paid more attention to Lu Su, and immediately extended the invitation again. To Zhao Feng's surprise, Lu Su agreed very happily.

"Uh, do I have the aura of a protagonist?" Zhao Feng later learned that Lu Su had even received Jiangdong Zhou Yu's request at that time, but he still went to Liu Bei with him, and he was even more puzzled. He didn't know that Lu Su knew that there were many big families in Jiangdong, but he was xenophobic, and his family background was only small, even if he went, it would be difficult to be reused for a while.

"Lord, Mr. Zijing is here!" Zhao Feng led Lu Su all the way to Liu Bei's mansion, and after a salute, the guests sat down, and after a long talk, Liu Bei also greatly appreciated Lu Su's strategic vision. The two sides were chatting energetically, when suddenly someone came to report:

"Lord, General Wu Dun of the Lu State has an urgent matter to see!"
