"General Zhu, there is one more thing that needs to trouble you!"

Zhu Chun's spirit was shocked: "My lord, please command!" ”

Wang Chong said: "Now in addition to Chao County, the rest of Chaohu Lake has not yet been surrendered, I want you to take Zheng Bao, Zhang Duo and Xu Gan's heads, as well as three thousand soldiers to the county towns to surrender, and confiscate Zhang Duo and Xu Gan's family property, by the way, their families will be escorted to Chao County, then they will be publicly executed together with Zheng Bao's family, within three days, I will hang my Jinfan banner above all the cities in Chaohu, remember, I only want the result, not the process, I don't know if you can do it?" ”

Zhu Chun's mood was agitated when he heard this, Wang Chong's words 'as long as the result, not the process', which means that he can act expediently in the next few days, Zhu Chun didn't expect that he had just surrendered, Wang Chong gave himself so much power, and immediately swore and promised: "The lord can rest assured, the end will not disgrace the mission!" ”

"Good!" Wang Chong nodded and glanced at Liu Ye, "Ziyang, you can also go out with the army, so you can help General Zhu!" ”

"No!" Liu Ye replied without thinking.

In an instant, Zhu Chun's heart was half cold, and Wang Chong deliberately arranged for Liu Ye to follow him, the purpose was obviously not so simple, and he was more afraid that he was mainly monitoring himself.

But after thinking about it carefully, Zhu Chun was also relieved, after all, he had just joined Jinfan, unless Wang Chong's brain was funny, how could he trust himself so easily and unreservedly?

So Zhu Chun secretly made up his mind that he must complete this task excellently, so that Wang Chong could see his ability.

Zhu Chun is different from Li Tao, his background and growth environment have made him develop a great sense of utilitarianism, and since he was a child, his father has been instilling in him the idea that he must get ahead no matter what, so that the main family that expelled them from Danyang will regret it.

Zhu Chun perfectly inherited his father's hatred and willingness, he was eager to become famous, otherwise he would not have promised Zheng Bao, who he didn't look down on at all, to be the captain of Chaohu, he really didn't want to let go of any opportunity to climb up.

Generally, utilitarian people tend to do things by unscrupulous means, which is a disadvantage and an advantage, just look at how you use it, as long as you use it properly, it is definitely more beneficial than disadvantageous, at least such people dare to fight, dare to rush, fearless.

Some people may say that such a person's loyalty is often not too high, but in fact, as long as you pay enough attention to him and don't make him disheartened, his loyalty to you will even be much higher than that of most of his subordinates, among which Wei Yan is the best example.

Wei Yan's utilitarianism is also very heavy, but there is no problem with his loyalty, in history, Liu Bei named Wei Yan as too punctual in Hanzhong, and the ministers were in an uproar, but it turned out that Liu Bei's choice was correct, Wei Yan did a very good job, and for many years Hanzhong was solid, as for Zhuge Liang said that he had a backbone in the back of his head, it was pure nonsense.

Zhuge Liang is cautious, but whenever there is a risky strategy, he will often abandon it, while Wei Yan is good at using tricks, and every time he puts forward an opinion, there is a certain risk, and the two have different political views, and contradictions are naturally numerous.

Wei Yan has an arrogant temperament, Zhuge Liang has repeatedly denied his decision-making, Wei Yan must be unhappy in his heart, and Zhuge Liang, as the prime minister of Shu, is in a high position, and even the lord of the entire Shu Kingdom, Liu Chan, is obedient to him, but Wei Yan has repeatedly opposed himself, and he is not a saint, how can there be no mustard in his heart?

Therefore, it is actually normal for Zhuge Liang to slander Wei Yan for having a backbone in the back of his head.

If Zhuge Liang is replaced by Pang Tong, who is also good at using risks, the two will definitely get along very well, but it is a pity that Pang Tong died early, and everything can only be if.

――――――――――

Zhu Chun and Liu Ye did not delay for too long, and soon left Chaoxian with 3,000 soldiers, and Wang Shuang also went north to Hefei, wanting to bring back the 600 cavalry left in Hefei City.

It didn't take long for Gan Ning, who had agreed with Wang Chong to send troops together today, and also led Zhuge Jin and 7,000 soldiers to arrive in Chao County.

"Brother, Ziyu, you two really made me wait!" Seeing Gan Ning and Zhuge Jin again, Wang Chong was in a good mood, with at least 7,000 Jinfan descendants in charge, Wang Chong no longer had to worry about any chaos in the Chaohu area.

"Haha, Shaolin, I haven't seen you for a few days, you've done a great job!"

Gan Ning laughed heartily, stepped forward and gave Wang Chong a firm hug, and the two brothers looked at each other and smiled, everything was silent.

Wang Chong turned his head to look at Zhuge Jin and said with a smile: "Ziyu, you have made great contributions to Wancheng before, if you hadn't successfully deceived Liu Xun and let us get such a long buffer, how could I Jinfan be where I am today?" ”

Zhuge Jin said humbly: "This is just a matter within Jin's share, so what can we talk about?" ”

"You, you, why are you still so humble?"

Hearing Zhuge Jin's answer, Wang Chong shook his head with some tears and laughter, then picked up the edict on the table, shook it at Zhuge Jin and said: "Ziyu, now that half a year has not yet arrived, I have fulfilled my promise, this time, you should always stay and work for me Jinfan with peace of mind, right?" ”

Zhuge Jin smiled lightly, in fact, even if he didn't have this edict, he would have decided to stay in Jinfan a long time ago, so in the face of Wang Chong's questioning, Zhuge Jin had no resistance, and immediately saluted Wang Chong: "Zhuge Jin, meet the lord!" ”

Wang Chong laughed when he heard this, stepped forward and helped Zhuge Jin and said: "Ziyu is to Jinfan, just like Xiao He of the Han Dynasty, and the minister of the humerus, now with Ziyu's help, my Jinfan great cause will be just around the corner!" ”

As soon as he heard Wang Chong compare himself to Xiao He, Zhuge Jin was suddenly under a lot of pressure, and he didn't dare to say anything, after all, Zhuge Jin was humble, but he was not as confident as his brother, and he often compared himself to Guan Zhong Leyi.

Wang Chong patted Zhuge Jin on the shoulder and said: "Ziyu, my Jinfan has always been rewarded for meritorious service, before you were in charge of Jinfan's logistics alone, and your hard work was high, today I will make you a don't drive and help me take charge of the land of Huainan!" ”

Zhuge Jin took a deep breath and responded, "No! ”

As the so-called one person ascends to heaven, Zhuge Jin has long known that after Wang Chong becomes the Taishou of Huainan, his status will also rise, but don't drive to such a high official position, it is somewhat unexpected.

However, Zhuge Jin also knew very well that with Jinfan's current situation, there was indeed no one more suitable for this position than him, so after Wang Chong issued the appointment, although he was terrified, he did not refuse.

If there is one word to describe Zhuge Jin's character, it is indisputable, everything is at peace with the situation, no matter what kind of official position Wang Chong gives him, he can accept it gladly.

Of course, indisputability does not mean that he is not responsible, in fact, on the contrary, at the critical moment, Zhuge Jin is still very reliable.

After sealing Zhuge Jin's official position, it was naturally Gan Ning's turn next.

Wang Chong looked at Gan Ning with sincere eyes: "Brother, two brothers in one world, whether it is now or in the future, Jinfan will always be the Jinfan of you and my brothers, this will not change even on the day I die, so I will appoint you as the governor of Jinfan today, in charge of Jinfan's military, as long as it is military affairs, my brother can make a decision in the future!" ”

Wang Chong's trust moved Gan Ning, and he responded heavily: "No! ”
