Jianye Wu Hou Xingyuan, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu sat in the lobby in civilian clothes. Sun Ce was still holding a letter in his hand, his expression was quite exciting, and he smiled bitterly before he said with a wry smile: "This Ziyan has given me a big problem!" ”

After speaking, he handed the letter to Zhou Yu, and Zhou Yu only took a minute to read the entire letter, and said with a wry smile: "Ziyan has indeed gone too far." ”

"Ziyan is right, these families simply don't take Lone's order as a thing. Lone has already replaced Gongjin with you, what do they want? ”

Zhou Yu saw that Sun Ce was angry, and he also persuaded: "Why should Bo Fu be angry, although you called me back to Jianye, but the successor governor Lu Meng is still from Jiangbei." And Ziyan is also from the Lujiang family, and now he is the governor of Jiangbei in the east, and their mood can be imagined. ”

Sun Ce sat down a little depressed, "I sometimes want to be like Cao Ying, suppress the family, and select a group of Han generals who can completely obey my military orders!" ”

Sun Ce makes sense to say this, because just a few days ago, Cao Ying issued the "Seeking Talent Order", ordering his subordinates to recommend talents without restraint. For a time, a large number of poor scholars threw themselves into Cao Ying, which greatly alleviated the regime's demand for talents from the family.

Of course, Zhou Yu knew the suffering in Sun Ce's heart, and it could be said that the entire Han Dynasty, except for Cao Ying and the Ma family, basically all the princes had this suffering. "Bo Fu, the Central Plains experienced the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and there was not one out of ten families, so Cao Ying could say a word and issue a recruitment order to suppress the family. And my Jiangdong has not been warned, the family is strong, and the four surnames of Wuzhong have mastered seventy percent of the lower-level officials, which cannot be easily suppressed. Besides, even after Cao Ying unified the north, he didn't have to reuse the family, and the children of top families such as Chen Qun and Sima Yi had not been successively opened into the shogunate, let alone Jiangdong. ”

"Isn't it possible for me to be dictatorial in my life?"

Sun Ce was also in a hurry, and even said that Qiangang was arbitrary, but Zhou Yu obviously had a plan, and said: "Brother Bo Fu, what you need to do is nothing more than to constantly promote the poor and support the emerging family against the old family. In this way, those poor families will have no second heart for you in order to develop; And those old families don't dare to push you too much in order to survive. And if the cycle continues, you are still the only one who is in charge. ”

"How to solve the matter at hand." Now that Qiao Ren has fallen out with Han Dang, this matter is the top priority.

Zhou Yu's eyes kept rolling, obviously thinking about how to solve this matter lightly, "Han Yigong can be appointed as the new capital Taishou, Danyang Taishou Sun Shao can be transferred to Chaisang, and Jiujiang Taishou can be falsely led." Ren Sun Yu is the Taishou of Danyang. As for Qiao Ren, he withdrew his fiefdom from Shi'an and changed it to Shu County. ”

"But Shu County is still in Cao Jun's hands. I see, Gong Jin is calculating. Sun Ce sighed with his armrest.

Just when Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were having a good conversation, Gu Yong asked to see him outside the door. Zhou Yu smiled: "Look, our Ziyan, the invited lobbyist has arrived." ”

Zhou Yu guessed correctly, Gu Yong did come to intercede for Qiao Ren.

In Chaisang City, since Qiao Ren killed eight generals and officials who disobeyed military orders in one go, no one in the entire Chaisang dared to sneer at Qiao Ren's orders, and they were all sincerely afraid, for fear of being beheaded by this fearless governor.

"The Grand Governor." Changshi Liu Ji ran into the lobby in three steps and two steps and said, "Governor Dadu, Jianye's mansion has come down." ”

"Oh." Qiao Ren, who was still reviewing the documents, also became interested, put down the pen in his hand, and asked, "What did you say?" ”

Liu Ji looked at the young governor in front of him who was still pretending to be calm, and made things clear without delay, "Now, Sun Jiujiang is almost outside the city gate, the governor is going to greet him!" ”

"How can my brother-in-law go to meet him, isn't this tormenting him?" The person who spoke was Sun Shao one day, Sima Sun Lang, the governor who came from Jianye.

After Sun Lang said this, Liu Ji also remembered that the governor in front of him was still the nominal uncle and uncle of General Sun Shao.

"Good morning, has General Song Qian already gone to the barracks?" Qiao Ren asked.

Song Qian was also a general under Sun Ce, because Qiao Ren still had two thousand Cheng Pu's direct troops left by Sun Ce, and Qiao Ren did not have a suitable general to govern, so Sun Ce sent Song Qian, a personal general, to Qiao Ren's army. But Qiao Ren's heart was indescribably weird, because in later generations, Song Qian and Jia Hua, the two guys who were born in Sun Ce's personal guard, were Sun Quan's personal guard generals, and they often held halberds to guard left and right. And now these two have become Qiao Ren's subordinates, and Jia Hua is Qiao Ren's confidant.

Sun Lang said that the official matter was very serious, "Back to the governor, Captain Song has arrived at the barracks and is integrating the troops. ”

At this time, the guards came to report that Sun Shao had arrived. After a while, I saw a heroic young general walking in, it was the partial general Sun Shao, compared with before, Sun Shao's body was even more powerful and his majesty began to grow a beard, which made Qiao Ren, who was longer than Sun Shao, envious, because Qiao Ren's beard grew too slowly, and there were only a few hairs on the lower jaws of people who were twenty-three or four.

"Shao greets the Grand Duke." Sun Shao gave a military salute very formally

Qiao Ren looked at this nephew, who was two or three years younger than him, and felt comforted in his heart. "Shao'er, sit down."

"Not busy." Sun Shao didn't rush to take a seat, but took a big package from the guard's hand, and said: "My aunt can't travel far because my younger brother can't travel far, so I can't go to Chaisang until after the spring harvest, so I have been asked to send some things, and in addition, Shao'er and Song'er want me to give to my uncle." Oh! By the way, there is also a gift from the third uncle. ”

Sun Shangxiang's gift is actually not expensive, but in Qiao Ren's heart, it is better than a daughter. What she sent was Qiao Ren's children's fetal hair, Sun Shangxiang knew that after the birth of the second son, Qiao Ren had not seen each other, so he sent the fetus to Qiao Ren in January, so it was good to have a thought. And Sun Shao and Sun Song, the two brothers, actually gave a sword used by Sun Ce, and I don't know how Erxiao got it.

As for Xu, it was a simple piece of clothing and letters, but when Qiao Ren read the letters, he found that there seemed to be some tear stains on the paper, and there was a sense of longing between the lines, which made Qiao Ren tremble through his whole body. And it seems that this clothing was still sewn by the Xu family himself, and Qiao Ren didn't know whether to wear it or not for a while.

--------------------------------------------- Dividing Line = ----------------------------------------------------

After meeting Sun Shao's troops, Qiao Ren had an army of 20,000 men, of which 11,000 were Qiao Ren's army, which were under the command of Huang Ce, Xu Sheng, Dai Gang and Song Qian, and in addition to Qiao Ren's personal guard, there were 1,000 people with Jia Hua as the captain (600 cavalry and 400 infantry. ）。 And Gan Ning has 3,500 soldiers under him, and Sun Shao, the Jiujiang Taishou, has 4,000 men under him.

At this point, Qiao Ren, the governor of Jiangbei, has some of the appearance he should have, and more than 20,000 people are still under Qiao Ren's complete control, at least none of his military orders dare to disobey or perfunctory.

However, Qiao Ren's current garrison is still in Chaisang, south of the Yangtze River, which makes Qiao Ren, the governor of Jiangbei, somewhat imperfect.

However, now Jiangdong has only experienced a year of war, and neither the soldiers nor the cangyu can no longer support Qiao Ren through Jiangbei, and now stationed in Hefei are Zhang Liao, the head of the five good generals, and the new Yangzhou assassin Shi Wenhui and Jiang Ji, who retired Sun Ce, Qiao Ren does not have enough confidence to fight against this Cao army, which is not bad. The most important thing is that the Cao army defenders on the front line of Hefei have been reinforced to about 20,000.
