"Yes, lord, the second son's hand is really not simple, I didn't fully react at first, and it took a few days before I thought about it." Zhu Zhi said with a smile on the side, he stayed in Wu County, but he could intuitively feel the changes brought by Sun Quan this time, and now he was deliberately asking for credit for Sun Quan, "First of all, personally kill Yan Baihu, the people all applauded, and the people wanted." In the past few days, the people of Wu County have been the same as the New Year, and I have never seen them so happy. ”

"I'm sure it's not all." Sun Ce looked at Sun Quan with a smile, "Zhongmou, you killed Yan Baihu in public, not only to win the hearts of the people, but also to die for some things!" ”

The culprit Yan Baihu is dead, and the whistleblower Xu Gong is also dead, so the evidence of Chen Yu's collusion with Yan Baihu, including Zu Lang and Jiao, is also confirmed. Dead people can't speak! Therefore, Sun Ce even doubted that Xu Gong, even if it was not killed by Sun Quan, was it also Sun Quan who deliberately watched him die!

There are some things between brothers that don't need to be broken.

Regarding the statements of the two, Sun Quan was noncommittal. Sun Quan killed Yan Baihu, of course, there were the first two reasons, but no one knew, these two reasons were additional, the reason why Sun Quan was so decisive to kill Yan Baihu was because he accidentally found out that he had gotten a new skill after killing Yan Baihu!

Oh, my God! A thief like Yan Baihu actually has skills, which is enough to surprise Sun Quan, and what surprises Sun Quan even more is that there is no card game at all this time, he just kills the other party directly in reality, so that he can also seize other people's skills?! To be honest, at that moment, Sun Quan almost wanted to change jobs and become a killer.

didn't mention Sun Quan's thoughts for the time being, just listened to Zhu Zhi continue,

"Secondly, to publicize Xu Gong's exploits and bury Xu Gong thickly, so that the scholars who were not very close to us before have some good feelings towards us. Recently, many families have taken advantage of this time to come to Wu County to worship Xu Gong and have a relationship with us. After this back and forth, when the interests are connected again, then from now on, these families will naturally firmly support our Sun family! ”

The Sun family, because it is a family of the art of war, most of the family members are samurai, and in the eyes of some literati, they are reckless men. So for a long time, the Sun family has a kind of embarrassment similar to Cao Cao, although the scholars do not look down on the Sun family as much as they look down on Cao Cao, but for many years, their connection with the Sun family is not close. Unlike the Yuan family, the fourth and third princes, there are countless protégés, and people all over the world rush to join them.

It can be said that all along, the Sun family has ruled the rear, relying on military deterrence, relying on those warriors who have no military power and can't make any big waves, so they don't dare to do anything. This was the case during Sun Jian's period, and so was Sun Ce, and it was not until this time that Sun Quan finally got closer to these arrogant scholars through a literati method.

Anything, as long as there is a beginning, the next thing is easy to do. A few families took the lead, and the rest of the families saw it, and there would be a lot less resistance, and there would only be more and more scholars who took refuge in the Sun family. Of course, the premise is that the Sun family does not touch the interests that originally belonged to them.

"Indeed, that's what I'm most happy about." Sun Ce patted Sun Quan on the shoulder. Sun Ce attaches great importance to talents, and he also personally went to invite Zhang Hong, Zhang Zhao, etc., but those who can be persuaded by Sun Ce are only a few after all, and Sun Ce does not have the time and energy to visit everywhere every day. For a long time, Sun Ce couldn't find a suitable way and lacked a channel to guide talents, and now, Sun Quan has helped him open this channel, even if it is only a crack at present. But everything is difficult at the beginning, as long as it is successfully opened, the next step is simple.

"Third, the story of Xu Gong has made Jiangdong now very cohesive, especially in the matter of attacking Shanyue. In the past, when we attacked Shanyue, the opposition was very strong, whether it was ordinary people or scholars, they all thought that as long as Shanyue did not come to fight us, there was no need to spend money and effort to take the initiative to attack the door. But now, the voices of support have overwhelmed the opponents, and some people even took the initiative to ask for help, wanting to encircle and suppress Shanyue. Zhu Zhi said.

"Oh?" Sun Ce's eyes lit up, obviously he hadn't thought of this beforehand, "This is an unexpected joy." ”

Sun Ce immediately began to think about it, in addition to stabilizing the rear, there is also an advantage to fighting Shanyue, that is, manpower, or rather, strength and combat effectiveness! In the war, it is the population that fights, and although the population in Jiangdong is not small, it is not as good as the Central Plains. Of course, the perennial war has caused the population of the Central Plains to drop sharply, and the gap in numbers is now not large. However, while Jiangdong was stable and the people were comfortable, it also led to the fact that the combat effectiveness of the soldiers was not as strong as that of the soldiers in the north, and in addition to the superiority of water warfare, land warfare would not be the opponent of the northern soldiers at all.

There is more than enough to defend the city, but not enough to expand, which is obviously not what Sun Ce wants to see.

So, Sun Ce hit the idea on Shanyue. The people of Shanyue are brave and strong, and if they are trained as soldiers, they can immediately make up for the gap with the north in ground warfare. Therefore, if the initiative to attack Shanyue is successful, not only will it not be internal friction, but it can increase high-end combat effectiveness, and internally, it can also play a role in training. It's like Sun Quan defeated Yan Baihu with the recruits this time, these recruits have this experience, and if there is a war in the future, at least it won't be as unbearable as it was at the beginning.

I didn't expect it, I didn't expect that Sun Quan was just a random one, I don't know if it was a fabricated story, and it set off such a big whirlwind of public opinion and solved one of Sun Ce's biggest problems. From now on, with the support of the top and bottom of Jiangdong, and the bold crusade against Shanyue, his Jiangdong army will continue to grow and thrive!

"And 。。。。。。" Zhu Zhi continued.

"And?" Sun Ce's eyes widened and he looked at Sun Quan in amazement, "Zhongmou, are you really so powerful?" ”

"Hey, hey."

Sun Quan smiled awkwardly,

"It's a fluke, it's just a fluke."

At least when he decided to kill Xu Gong, he didn't think about it so much.

"Go on." Sun Ce motioned to Zhu Zhi and said with interest, "I would like to hear it, what else is there." In addition, facts are facts, whether intentional or unintentional, there will be no less credit! ”

The second half of the sentence is, of course, to Sun Quan.

"Also, the second prince pushed Xu Gong to such a height, so some people, although they doubt it in their hearts, they don't dare to question it out loud." Zhu Zhi said, "For example, Xu Gong disregarded the danger, understood the conspiracy, secretly warned him, and then saved the people of Wu County. Now, who dares to question that Xu Gong did not give a warning? Who dares to question that the evidence of Chen Yu's collusion with Yan Baihu discovered by Xu Gong is fake? Whoever dares to speak out at this time will definitely be spurned and killed by the people of the world! The actions of the second son, so we don't need to explain anything, and Emperor Xian's side can fully explain it. At least that Cao Cao can't find an excuse to embarrass us again for the time being. ”

"Makes sense." Sun Ce immediately made a decision, "This credit naturally goes to Zhong Mou's head." Moreover, this operation was originally a ploy of Zhong Mouxian. ”

Zhu Zhi: "Finally。。。。。。 ”

Sun Ce: "??? And finally? ”
