Advancing by land and water, Ao Lie and Sun Ce took their respective subordinates, and after more than ten days of travel, they came to the political and military center of Jiangdong - Jianye.

Just like when Ao Lie arrived in Xiangyang, the civil and military officials of Jiangdong put on the highest standard of etiquette to greet Ao Lie. Regardless of whether they were willing to submit to the Northern Han Dynasty or unwilling to submit to the Northern Han Dynasty in their hearts, at least in terms of reception etiquette, they all showed enough respect for Ao Lie. After all, if it weren't for Ao Lie's borrowed troops, Jiangdong would not be in the situation it is in now.

Standing at the head of nearly 100 civil and military officials, it is naturally Sun Quan who stayed in Jiangdong instead of Sun Ce, and now Sun Quan is almost twenty years old, and he is more stable and experienced than in previous years. It can be said that Sun Quan can also be called half of Jiangdong's master to a certain extent, Sun Ce, who is good at leading troops to fight and has a strong personality, is good at handling internal affairs, and Sun Quan, who has a calm personality, has formed a perfect complement to each other, one outside and one inside, and Jiangdong is well organized. The two brothers joined forces to build an iron wall together, protecting the entire Jiangdong well, and over time, they were named the "Jiangdong Twin Heroes" by the children of Jiangdong.

In addition to the blood relationship between Sun Ce and Sun Quan, the unique humanistic atmosphere of the Jiangdong region is also an important reason for this situation. In Jiangdong, there are many families, and one of the hallmarks of the family is that the people are prosperous, and the family often has outstanding representatives in various fields, and blood relatives are the collective to form a huge family. In order to cater to the regional characteristics of Jiangdong, the Sun brothers formed a management model of separate government and rule. Of course. When it comes to national affairs, it is Sun Ce who makes the final decision, after all, he is the real leader of Jiangdong.

Taking a step forward, Sun Quan bowed his head in the direction of Ao Lie and bowed: "Disciple Quan, meet the master." The civil and military officials standing behind Sun Quan naturally did not dare to slack off, and while bowing their hands, they said in unison: "The ministers will meet the regent." Regent Chitose Chitose Chitose. ”

was completely different from his attitude towards Zhou Yu when he was in Xiangyang, Ao Lie did not turn over and dismount, but sat straight on the horse. He said in a deep voice: "Everyone, let's be flat." In the tone, there is an inviolable majesty, a sacred and irresistible meaning, and it is transmitted to the hearts of every Jiangdong minister of civil and military affairs through words.

There is a reason why Ao Lie speaks in such a tone from a superior to a subordinate. In Jiangdong, most people are willing to submit to the Northern Han Dynasty, but there are still a very small number of people who are temporarily in a wait-and-see attitude for the purpose of protecting their families, and Ao Lie adopts such a tone. In order to be able to deter the people in Jiangdong, so that the crowd on the sidelines can feel Ao Lie's determination to recover Jiangdong, and if he does not cooperate, it will be tantamount to declaring war on the Northern Han Dynasty! At the same time, Ao Lie could not be sure of those who were willing to submit. In the end, with a little sincerity, the necessary beating is naturally indispensable, and establishing one's own majesty at the beginning of the service of the people of Jiangdong is far better than recovering Jiangdong by means of tenderness. But it will be much stronger to make Jiangdong chaotic in the future.

The name of a man, the shadow of a tree. The prestige of Ao Lie's little overlord has long been famous all over the world, even Sun Ce, who is highly respected by the children of Jiangdong. was defeated by Ao Lie with one move, so he willingly worshiped Ao Lie as his teacher, so it is conceivable that Ao Lie's ability must be far above Sun Ce. The establishment of Jiangdong is inseparable from Sun Ce's martial arts and taoluo, and without Sun Ce, Jiangdong would not have the situation it has today. As a disciple, Sun Ce is already so powerful, so as a master, Ao Lie's skills are far beyond the imagination of everyone in Jiangdong. Under Ao Lie's majestic tone, except for Sun Ce and Sun Quan's brothers, the rest of Jiangdong and others were silent, and the entire queue to greet them immediately became silent, and no one dared to make the slightest sound, just silently obeyed Ao Lie's order, slowly straightened up, and then stood solemnly behind Sun Quan.

Seeing his words, he shocked everyone in Jiangdong, and Ao Lie slowly continued: "Lone came here today, without him, I just want to ask you, are you willing to return to the arms of the Han and truly belong to Lonely?" If you don't want to, please stand on Lone's right hand, as long as you say enough to convince Lone, Lone will never deliberately make things difficult. But if you don't stand on the side of Lone's right hand and return to the Han on the surface, but you do things that violate the yang and yin in private, once you find out, you will be severely punished! Lone gives you thirty breaths of time to think about it, and now the clock begins! ”

Originally, such a major state event had to be discussed at the top of the court, and it was also necessary to do a good job of keeping it confidential, and generally speaking, it would not be made public until the dust had settled. But now Ao Lie is unusual, not only said it in public, but also limited the time for the people in Jiangdong, leaving no room for the people in Jiangdong to turn around, and his words were as straight as a blade, giving them a huge sense of oppression in their hearts, and at the same time, they also highlighted their determination to take back Jiangdong in their hearts.

Silence, silence, silence. The people of Jiangdong stood in place and fell into a short but eternal silence, until the time of twenty breaths passed, and still no one stepped out of their own steps. In everyone's heart, there is a rapid battle between heaven and man. At the beginning, many people thought that Ao Lie was just going to take back Jiangdong in form, and the actual power of Jiangdong would still be controlled in the hands of Sun Ce and Sun Quan brothers, but now judging from Ao Lie's tough tone, it is obviously not the same thing, Ao Lie is really going to take back Jiangdong and reclassify Jiangdong to the Han Dynasty, or to the rule of the Northern Han Dynasty.

Although Ao Lie's toughness exceeded many people's expectations, it did not cause dissatisfaction in the hearts of everyone in Jiangdong. In any case, it was Ao Lie who helped Jiangdong when he was suffering from internal and external troubles in Jiangdong; After defeating Yuan Shu, Ao Lie strongly recommended Sun Ce, who represented the interests of the Jiangdong group, to sit in the position of Yangzhou pastor and become the supreme ruler of Jiangdong; It was Ao Lie who helped Jiangdong defeat the Jingzhou army, so that the prestige of the Jiangdong army reached its peak. Ao Lie can be said to be half of the founders of the Jiangdong military group, and now, if he wants to take back Jiangdong, no one can say anything about reason, public and private.

It's just that for the people of Jiangdong, they have also paid a lot of effort in the process of the rise of Jiangdong, and now Ao Lie is so tough to take back Jiangdong, although they can't find a reason to refute it, but there is still a trace of unwillingness in their hearts, as if the fruits of their hard-earned victory were easily picked away by Ao Lie in the end. However, everyone knows in their hearts that Jiangdong will never stand on the opposite side of the Northern Han Dynasty, first of all, Sun Ce and Sun Quan, the two supreme rulers of Jiangdong, will not allow such a thing to happen; Secondly, with the current strength of the Jiangdong Army, it is far from being the opponent of the powerful Northern Han, and even Cao Cao, who is united in the Central Plains, has no significant chance of winning; Moreover, if Jiangdong really opposes the Northern Han Dynasty, it will be tantamount to ingratitude, and I am afraid that the entire Jiangdong will become the target of the world's condemnation.

When Zhao Yun counted to the twenty-fifth breath, Sun Ce was the first to take a step and stood firmly on Ao Lie's left hand side from the middle queue, expressing his willingness to sincerely belong to the Northern Han Dynasty and to Ao Lie. After Sun Ce, Sun Quan also moved, and he and Sun Ce were in the same step, and they also stood on Ao Lie's left-hand side.

With the movement of Sun Ce and Sun Quan brothers, among all the people in Jiangdong, almost all the generals took steps at the same time, crossed out to the left, and stood behind Sun Ce's brothers. For these straightforward generals, they don't have too many scruples, and they don't need to consider the interests of their families, and they only uphold the unique concept of martial artists in their hearts: follow the strong and win one victory after another.

"Twenty-six......" When Zhao Yun's count was getting closer and closer to the end, among the remaining civil officials in Jiangdong, the old minister Zhang Zhao was the first to stand up and walked to Ao Lie's left hand side to stand. Zhang Zhao can be said to be a veteran of the Three Dynasties, when Sun Jian was still alive, he was already in Jiangdong, he has always played the role of a weather vane in the system of Jiangdong civil officials, and every decision he made had a decisive impact on the civil officials in Jiangdong. The reason why Zhang Zhao will stand up is because he knows very well in his heart that this world will be unified by the Northern Han Dynasty sooner or later, rather than waiting for the Northern Han Dynasty to eliminate Cao Cao in the Central Plains under the rule of Ao Lie, it is better to return to the Northern Han Dynasty as soon as possible, in this way, he can also make some meritorious contributions to Cao Cao in the crusade in the future, which can not only protect the interests of his family, but also win a reputation that will go down in history.

Zhang Hong, who came from the same family as Zhang Zhao, obviously had the same idea as Zhang Zhao, almost when Zhang Zhao had just taken a step, his steps also moved, and he followed Zhang Zhao and stood on Ao Lie's left side together.

Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong were brothers, they were called "Jiangdong Erzhang" by the Jiangdong people, and they were also the right-hand men who assisted Sun Quan in handling internal affairs. As soon as the attitude of the two of them became clear, most of the civil officials immediately made a choice. Dozens of civil officials stopped the battle between heaven and man in their hearts, dispelled all doubts, and followed in the footsteps of Jiangdong Erzhang to express their attitude. In their opinion, Jiangdong Erzhang is one of the representative families of the Jiangdong family, and even they are already willing to submit to the Northern Han Dynasty, so they don't have to think about it anymore.

When Zhao Yun counted to thirty, the people in Jiangdong had clearly divided into factions, and eighty percent of them stood on Ao Lie's left hand side; There were also Yicheng people who stood still and did not move, neither taking a step to the left, nor going to the right side of the opposition to the Northern Han; The remaining ten percent or so of officials stood on Ao Lie's right hand, using their actions to show their inner reluctance to submit to the Northern Han Dynasty.
