Chapter 352: Jiangdong Governor
Now that Yang Ling is dead, Huang Zhong naturally turned his gaze to Han Xuan. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info [Full Text Reading]
Han Xuan felt as if he was being locked by a bloodthirsty tiger, and he trembled with fright, and the cold hairs all over his body exploded.
"Retreat!"
As Huang Zhong urged the horse to speed up, Han Xuan was extremely frightened, and turned around and fled without saying a word.
Han Xuan was very smart, he drove his horse to the city and quickly climbed the city wall, because he knew that Liu Pan and Huang Zhong's immediate priority was to lead the troops to rush out of the west gate, so the possibility of catching up with the city wall should not be very large.
Sure enough, Huang Zhong saw Han Xuan running up the city wall, Zhuma hesitated, and finally gave up the pursuit, after all, it was too worthless to put himself in the danger of being surrounded by the Guiyang army at any time for the sake of just one Han Xuan.
Han Xuan, as the leader of the army, his embarrassed escape caused the morale of the army under his command to plummet, and they were defeated by Liu Pan's troops in a blink of an eye, who were not superior in numbers.
"Kill !!"
At this time, Chen Ying and Bao Long also led the Guiyang army to catch up with them indomitably, and the distance between the two sides was quickly shortened.
Liu Pan looked back and glanced coldly, and ordered: "Get out of the city!" ”
A few seconds later, the city gate opened, and Liu Pan led four or five hundred remnants of soldiers to rush out of the city quickly.
Chen Ying and Bao Long chased for several miles, until there was no trace of Liu Panjun in sight, and then they collected their troops and returned to Chenxian.
When Zhao Fan learned that he had run away from Liu Pan, he was very sorry, but he did not punish Chen and Bao for this, but praised the two of them fiercely, and also rewarded a lot of money, which immediately made the second general grateful to Dade and even more desperate for him.
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
In the sixth year of Jian'an, May 28, Wu County.
It has been two full days since Zhou Yu's family was reunited.
In the past two days, Zhou Yu has actually been waiting for Wang Chong to take the initiative to appear, but the result made him very disappointed, because let alone Wang Chong. Even Lu Meng and Lu Su didn't come to visit him again, as if everyone had forgotten about him.
Zhou Yu's heart suddenly became troubled, wondering if he was too arrogant. As a result, Wang Chong lost interest in himself.
Although Zhou Yu thinks that he is talented, there are many talents in the Jinfan Army, and there are really more than him, and there are many less than him.
In terms of leading troops to fight, Wang Chong himself is a commander who is both wise and brave; On scheming. Jia Xu's old fox alone was enough to crush him.
Zhou Yu is still young, and he doesn't want to bury his talent.
Originally, the person Zhou Yu chose to assist was his sworn brother Sun Ce, Sun Ce was brave and heroic, able to fight well, and the most important thing was that Sun Ce could provide him with a big stage where he could display what he had learned all his life.
It's a pity that creation makes people, and with the assassination of Sun Ce, Sun Quan ascended to the throne. Sun Quan, who was extremely suspicious, did not trust him, so that he was constrained everywhere, and in the end he was even treated as an outcast, Zhou Yu was calm on the surface, but the grievances and resentment in his heart were not enough for outsiders.
Now, Zhou Yu is optimistic about Wang Chong.
From a water coward who has no background and mixes the big river, to a general who has become a Han Dynasty and a general of the Eastern Expedition, Yangzhou Mu. Dominating the southeast, Wang Chong only took two years, and this ability can be called unprecedented.
Wang Chong may be nostalgic. But he is better at making good use of talents, the reason why Jinfan can develop so rapidly, is not unrelated to the way others make the best use of their talents, many talents who have just joined Jinfan, as long as they have the ability, will be immediately boldly promoted to a high position by Wang Chong. Zhou Yu believes that with his talent, as long as he joins Jinfan, he will definitely be reused by Wang Chong, but ...... With the gradual growth of Jinfan, Wang Chong no longer seems to be as eager for talent as before, which makes him somewhat disappointed.
Although Zhou Yu's thoughts are a bit one-sided, they can't be completely wrong, after all, people's moods will inevitably change in different time periods.
For example, if in history, Liu Bei had become the overlord of one side early on, and there were countless good ministers and fierce generals under his account, would he still run to Wollongong to visit the thatched house in a low voice? The answer is obviously, absolutely not.
Wang Chong is the same, if it were two years ago, he would definitely do everything possible, and even unscrupulously take Zhou Yu under his command, but today, although Wang Chong also wants Zhou Yu to work for him, but if you let him kneel and lick Zhou Yu on his knees, he asked himself if he couldn't pull this face.
Therefore, Wang Chong listened to Jia Xu's advice and did not rush to visit Zhou Yu, because the more you pay attention, the more arrogant the other party may be.
persuaded Zhou Yu to surrender, Wang Chong no longer planned to come forward in person, he and Jia Xu discussed and formulated a two-step plan.
The first step is to release Zhou Yu's family, firstly, to make Zhou Yu feel Jinfan's sincerity, and secondly, to use family affection to soften Zhou Yu's heart and make him emotional.
As for the second step, it is Wang Chong's real killer weapon.
"Old lady, why are you here!?"
Zhou Yu looked at Wu Guotai standing outside the door in a daze, and was shocked, a big mouth could swallow a J egg.
Wu Guotai laughed and said, "What? Isn't Gongjin welcome? ”
"Of course not!" Zhou Yu came back to his senses and hurriedly stepped forward to carry Wu Guotai into the house.
At this time, Zhou Yu was silent on the surface, but he had already set off a huge wave in his heart, because he never expected that Wang Chong would unexpectedly bring out Wu Guotai to act as a lobbyist.
"Gong Jin, you and Bo Fu are friends of the general horn, and the old body will not treat you as an outsider." Sitting down with Zhou Yu's support, Wu Guotai said lightly, "I believe that with the wisdom of Gong Jin, it is not difficult to guess the meaning of the old body, but I don't know if Gong Jin is willing to come out of Shi Jinfan?" ”
Zhou Yu asked with a cold face: "The old lady came this time, but she was forced by that Wang Shaolin*?" ”
"Gong Jin misunderstood." Wu Guotai shook his head and said, "Actually, this time, it was the old man who took the initiative to ask Shaolin to come and see Gongjin. ”
"Huh?"
"Gong Jin, the old body really hopes that you can play for Jinfan!" Wu Guotai looked at Zhou Yu with an earnest face, "One is for your own future, and the other is to ensure the safety of my Sun family!" ”
Hearing this, Zhou Yu couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
With Zhou Yu's wisdom, he naturally understood the meaning of Wu Guotai's words.
Now, although the Sun family has lowered Jinfan, the grudges accumulated between each other are not so easy to resolve.
Since the war between the two sides, the Sun clan has died tragically under the blade of Jinfan, and among the surviving clansmen. I'm afraid that there are still many people who have a grudge against Wang Chong, which is a very dangerous signal, if there are really people from the Sun clan secretly betraying Jinfan in the future, relying on just one Sun Shangxiang. It is definitely not enough to keep the Sun family, and at that time, if he can also be in a high position in the Jinfan Army, there will undoubtedly be another layer of protection for the Sun family.
This thing. It is obviously thankless for Zhou Yu, because in this way, maybe even he himself will be implicated, but Zhou Yu attaches great importance to righteousness, if it comes to an end, he is afraid that he will not be able to watch the Sun family being wiped out by the king.
After being silent for a while, Zhou Yu took a deep breath and seemed to have made up his mind: "Zhou Yu understands the old lady's distress, so let's go back and inform Wang Chong first." Just say that there are some things that I want to talk to him about in person! ”
"That's fine!" Wu Guotai nodded, and slowly got up with the support of the maid, she knew that although Zhou Yu did not express her position on the spot, in fact, she should have been moved by her.
Seeing Wu Guotai gradually go away in the carriage, Zhou Yu sighed and returned to the inner courtyard with a heavy heart.
Wang Chong really grabbed his weakness this time.
About a quarter of an hour passed. Wang Chong walked into Zhou Yu's mansion with a smile on his face: "Gong Jin, I haven't seen you for many days, don't come unharmed?" ”
Zhou Yu got up and invited Wang Chong to take a seat, and personally poured him a cup of tea. With a wry smile: "After a month, the general is still so high-spirited, but I, Zhou Yu, have become the prisoner of the general!" ”
"This is not due to Gongjin's lack of ability, it is really providential!" Wang Chong raised his glass and took a sip lightly, and said with a meaningful smile. "If you really want to talk about it, I have almost lost my life at the hands of Gong Jin several times, and since my debut two years ago, Gong Jin is still the first person who can make me so embarrassed!"
"The general is false!" Zhou Yu said calmly, "Although I have a little resourcefulness and have won a few small victories over the general, the general can always turn danger into a disaster, which is both ability and destiny!" ”
"Destiny?" Wang Chong was stunned for a moment and grinned, "Could it be that even Gongjin thinks that I am replacing Han with me, but it is in accordance with the mandate of heaven?" ”
"Replace Han?" Zhou Yu didn't think that Wang Chong would say his ambition so unabashedly, and immediately raised his eyebrows, playing with taste, "Isn't the general afraid that this word will cause S to move?" ”
"Why should I be afraid?" Wang Chong asked rhetorically, "In fact, among the princes of the world, which one of them has no dissent?" I named my eldest son 'Take', as long as you are a discerning person, you can understand the deep meaning, but why didn't they send troops to fight it? It's not because they don't understand, but because my Jinfan's strength is strong enough, it is not in their own interests to attack my Jinfan in the short term! ”
Zhou Yu sighed: "Yes, when Yuan Highway usurped the Han Dynasty and became independent, the reason why the princes of the world rose up in droves was not because they were really loyal to the Han family, but only because Yuan Shu was defeated, which could meet the interests of all parties." ”
Wang Chong smiled faintly and said: "If I remember correctly, Gong Jin also thought about instigating Liu Biao and Cao C to join forces with you Jiangdong to attack my Jinfan, but in the end Cao C rejected it, right?" ”
Zhou Yu looked at Wang Chong in surprise: "Such a private matter, the general can also know?" ”
"Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can you put yourself in an invincible position!" Wang Chong pointed to his eyes and said, "In today's entire Han Dynasty, my Jinfan's eyeliner is everywhere, but if any prince intends to move, I can receive the news as soon as possible!" ”
"I see!" Zhou Yu was silent for a moment, and said with emotion from the bottom of his heart, "The general has foresight, Zhou Yu admires!" ”
"Okay, let's get down to business, Gong Jin invited me to come this time, I don't know why?" Wang Chong waved his hand and said with a smile, "Now that Gong Jin knows a lot of privacy about my Jinfan, if you dare to say that you don't want to work for my Jinfan, I'm afraid you won't want to step out of this door in this life!" ”
Zhou Yu also laughed when he heard this, he knew that Wang Chong was joking with him, in fact, when he asked Wu Guotai to invite Wang Chong to come for an interview, he had already made a decision to work for Jinfan, and I believe Wang Chong also knew this very well, so he told him so many Jinfan's secrets without any scruples.
Zhou Yu turned the teacup in his hand a little nervously, glanced at Wang Chong deeply, and asked, "General, I want to know, if I join Jinfan, how will the general be placed in me?" ”
Wang Chong smiled and asked, "What do you think of Gong Jin?" What position should I assign to you to make your powerful heart move? ”
A touch of embarrassment flashed on Zhou Yu's face, and finally he mustered up the courage to say: "General, although my request may be a little difficult for a strong man, if the general is only willing to give me an idle position with no real power, Zhou Yu would rather not be out of office for the rest of his life!" ”
Wang Chong said with a smile: "I don't know that the position of Jiangdong Governor may be able to enter the eyes of Gong Jin?" ”
"Governor of Koto!?" Zhou Yu was taken aback, "What kind of position is this?" ”
Zhou Yu knew that Jinfan already had a governor, that was Gan Ning, this person was not only brave in battle, but also Wang Chong's brother who shared life and death, Zhou Yu did not think that Wang Chong would let himself replace Gan Ning and become Jinfan's biggest commander.
Wang Chong explained lightly: "The governor of Jiangdong, as the name suggests, that is the soldiers and horses of the entire Jiangdong, and I will hand them over to Gong Jin to command!" ”
"This ......" Zhou Yu was completely shocked, he didn't expect Wang Chong to trust himself so much, and let himself let a newly descended person lead tens of thousands of troops in Jiangdong.
Looking at Zhou Yu with a sluggish face, Wang Chong couldn't help but say, "How is it?" What does Gong Jin think? ”
Zhou Yu took a deep breath and asked solemnly: "But if I am the governor of Jiangdong, then the governor of Gandu will ...... there."
Zhou Yu didn't say any more, but Wang Chong knew what he was worried about, you must know that there are six counties in Yangzhou, and Jiangdong accounts for four counties, if Zhou Yu is in charge of the four counties in Jiangdong, then Gan Ning's authority will be greatly reduced, Zhou Yu is clearly worried that he will offend Gan Ning because of this.
"Gongjin doesn't need to worry, this matter is not a conflict!" Wang Chong explained, "Gong Jin doesn't know, right now my Jinfan army has invaded Jingnan, and when Jingnan is pacified, I am ready to let my brother lead the troops to be stationed at Dting Lake, in order to prepare for the attack on Jingzhou in the future, so Gong Jin becoming the governor of Jiangdong will not reduce my brother's real power, and to be honest, my brother is the governor of Jinfan, and Gong Jin you are only the governor of Jiangdong, in other words, Gong Jin is nominally, in fact, he still has to obey my brother's dispatch!" ”
"When the general said this, Zhou Yu was much more relieved!" Zhou Yu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this.
Although he was overwhelmed by Gan Ning, Zhou Yu did not have any displeasure in his heart, at least in this way, he didn't have to offend Gan Ning, and militarily, he, the governor of Jiangdong, was only constrained by Wang Chong and Gan Ning, and his real power was already boundless, so what else did he have to be dissatisfied with?
