Chapter 52: The Tiger Returns
"Zigan ......" Cai Yong walked into the lobby at this time, and when he saw Lu Zhi with a haggard expression, he greeted with a trembling voice,
Lu Zhi, who had been silent before, saw Cai Yong, his eyes turned red, and he sighed, "Providence is like this, how about Nai." ”
Cai Yong left with Lu Zhi, Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, although Zhang Hao felt that Zhang Fei would not make a mistake, but in order to avoid accidents, he had to let people stare at it.
For Cai Mao and Jing Liang, Zhang Hao was relieved and encouraged, although he didn't like some of their behaviors, but after all, they made great contributions. As for the places that Zhang Hao doesn't like, he can be disciplined in the future.
In this regard, they themselves are estimated to be mentally prepared, and they are all clear about the policies of the wealthy families of the noble clan.
In the evening, a banquet was held to entertain Cai Mao and Jing Liang, and Lu Zhi was invited, but Lu Zhi did not come forward, which is normal, and people can't be a little resentful. The dignified name will be captured by such an aggrieved person, and it is aggrieved to think about it.
With the help of these internal responses, the affairs of Jingzhou are going exceptionally smoothly, and soon Zhang Hao's territory will be expanded, and such a happy event can be celebrated by the way. Therefore, this banquet was very formal, and at the same time, a large number of officials were gathered, which was also a way to show the acceptance of the Jingzhou scholars.
I believe that with such an attitude, the Jingzhou Shi clan will work harder.
Zhang Hao's style has obvious effects.
With the help of the local snakes, it didn't take long on the Jingzhou side. After Lu Zhi was secretly arrested, in his name, except for the two counties of Lingling and Guiyang, the other counties were already under control.
The biggest thorn in Jingzhou was also at the end of his life when he was feasting on Zhang Hao's side.
This thorn is Changsha Taishou Sun Jian. Sun Jian has a strong temperament, and to some extent, he sometimes doesn't care about the system regulations of the imperial court, the year before last, this guy directly crossed the border to fight thieves, you must know that the imperial court has a rule that two thousand stones are too guarded to cross the border without authorization, but Sun Jian doesn't care.
It can also be said that he is passionate and believes in righteousness. Otherwise, it's just a matter of blood.
Judging from Sun Jian's performance in history, he is definitely not a true loyal minister, and he has done everything to kill Shangguan. But he is definitely not a traitor, when he crusaded against Dong Zhuo in history, there were few people who really worked hard, that is, Sun Jian and Cao Cao. But the only one who really has achieved results is Sun Jian himself. In any case, there is no doubt about Sun Jian's ability.
After the rise of Daqian, Sun Jian was not idle. This Jiangdong Tiger is very strong, knowing that his hometown is occupied by Daqian, although his relatives are around. But he was still very stimulated, and once led troops to attack Yuzhang County.
At that time, Zhang Hao was recuperating, and Sun Jianjian's strength was indeed good, and he trained a group of capable soldiers.
At the beginning, it made the defenders of Daqian Yuzhang suffer a little. But after relieving himself, he found a guide who was familiar with the terrain, and after the technical advantages of the large cadre army were fully brought into play, Sun Jian was deflated.
Even if Sun Jian is extremely brave, and his subordinates Cheng Puzumao and other generals are all highly skilled, but under the attack of artillery and various firearms, they are still embarrassed. If it weren't for the complicated terrain, it is estimated that Sun Jian would have been left in Yuzhang at that time.
returned to Changsha with the remnants of the defeated army, although Sun Jian was extremely unwilling. But after calming down, I also knew that I couldn't do anything. He began to carefully study the various materials of the Great Cadre Army, and the more he understood, the more uncertain Sun Jian became. During this time, he was very anxious, because he couldn't think of how he would resist if Da Qian attacked.
Knowing that Lu Zhi was appointed as the pastor of Jingzhou, Sun Jian breathed a sigh of relief. For a famous general like Lu Zhi, Sun Jian still agrees with and respects him very much. Although I don't feel that my ability is poor, at least a famous general like Lu Zhi can save people in Jingzhou Mu and can coordinate the forces of the whole state, which brings opportunities.
After receiving the order from the state governor's office, Sun Jian immediately led people to Xiangyang, and he couldn't wait to know what Lu Zhi could do to deal with the big cadres.
Obviously, Sun Jian threw himself into the net this time.
His soldiers were left outside the city, and he entered the city with a few generals, and when he arrived at the governor's mansion, he was poor. Facing the condescending encirclement of the soldiers armed with crossbows, coupled with Huang Zhongdianwei and others, one can imagine what Sun Jian's situation was at this time.
The light of the setting sun shone on the state governor's mansion, and in the courtyard, Sun Jian, who was fully armored, swept his eyes over the soldiers on the surrounding courtyard walls, and finally looked at Huang Zhongdianwei and the others at the top.
With the rise of the Great Qian, the imperial court, especially the neighboring prefectures and counties, had a certain understanding of the officials at all levels, and the drawing of shadows and graphics was indispensable.
Although at this time, the accuracy of the so-called drawing graphics is like a joke. But in front of real people, coupled with the environment, Sun Jian still recognized Huang Zhong, who can be called the leader of the Daqian military.
"Where is Lu Shangshu?" Sun Jian looked at Huang Zhong and asked.
"Sun Wentai is really brave and brave, and he is worthy of the name of the Jiangdong Tiger." Huang Zhong couldn't help but admire when he saw that Sun Jian still didn't change his face in the face of such a situation.
"As for Lu Shangshu, he has probably arrived in Liyang at this time. Don't worry, characters like Lu Shangshu, even if my king can't use them, he won't hurt him. In fact, this time it is not a good thing. It's hard to control life and death on the battlefield, but now you can at least be safe. ”
Sun Jian's expression remained unchanged, and he asked again, "At this time, my family should be arrested, right?" ”
"Wentai underestimates us too much, and we don't take people yet. The wife and child are coerced by others. Huang Zhong shook his head disdainfully, looked at Sun Jian and said seriously,
"Wentai, you are different from others, you should know the strength of the Great Cadre Army, and you also know what the result will be if you fight head-on. The Jingzhou Shi clan is just complying with the mandate of heaven and reducing innocent casualties. ”
Sun Jian was speechless.
"The king of my family once mentioned you, when you were leading an army to invade Yuzhang. Your Royal Highness commented that you are fierce and brave as a tiger, and you are a rare general in the world. You have put down rebellions everywhere, but what my king admires most is your actions on the frontier. Anyone who fights against the barbarians, my king is willing to look the other way. You should know that now the Han has rotted to the root and is irretrievable.
Your Highness pitifies your talent, pities your merits, and does not want your talent to be lost in the civil war, and your stage should be on the frontier. So, Wentai, come down. Your Highness knows that you are loyal, and does not force you to serve the great cadres, you just need to watch quietly and wait for the results.
And your family still needs you to take care of it. You also want to know what kind of great deeds His Highness will create, right?
Have you learned some of the situation in Yangzhou, don't you want to watch the people live and work in peace and contentment? You can see everything with your own eyes, see how His Highness changes the world, and even mention some omissions. ”
Huang Zhong said at a rare tirade, he knew very well that Sun Jian was a talent, and he also knew that he couldn't be too tough on him.
"My lord?" Sun Jian was silent, and after half a sound, Huang Gai couldn't help but call him.
"Hey, traitors are rampant, but there is nowhere to show their power. Now that it's come to this, what else can we do?! Sun Jian sighed and threw the ring knife in his hand to the ground.
Huang Zhong was overjoyed, waved the soldiers back, personally stepped forward to hold Sun Jian, and entered the lobby together. Huang Zhong knew what to do at this time, and after letting people get wine and food, he directly asked Gu Yong to tell Sun Jian and others about the various policies and advantages of Daqian.
In fact, Sun Jian has seen Qianlu, and since Zhang Hao has come up with printing technology and more advanced papermaking technology, he will naturally not waste this advantage. In addition to printing a large number of books, the most printed is Qianlu, which is distributed everywhere, and it can be said that in the entire territory of the Han Dynasty, there may be Qianlu everywhere now.
Many scholars and even literate people will sneak a look at it, and in addition to the Qianlu, there are also books about land annexation and the measures and technological advantages of the Great Qian. Many people have seen these things. Sun Jian is no exception.
But in the past, there were some places that they didn't understand or even believe, but now with Gu Yong's story, they have a little more understanding. After all, those have already begun to be implemented in Yangzhou.
Huang Zhong knew what a general like Sun Jian was more interested in, and after having dinner, he simply took Sun Jian and others to visit the ordnance of the Daqian army, and had seen the power of firearms such as artillery before, but now he saw more types of ordnance, and after understanding the equipment that each soldier of Daqian must be equipped with, Sun Jian had no other thoughts at all, and the equipment of any soldier was not inferior to that of the generals of the imperial army.
Not to mention that there are more powerful firearms, and even without firearms, such an army is terrible.
Sun Jian didn't do anything to close the door and not go out to the enemy, since he had worked hard before, he didn't hold on to it after failure. After learning about the Martial Arts Academy, he offered to go to the Martial Arts Academy to study, which naturally meant that he was going to become a leader.
After Huang Zhong got the news, he was very happy, and took Sun Jian to open his eyes again, and directly asked Zhang Hao through a large radio device.
After understanding the situation, Zhang Hao was a little surprised, thought about it, and did not let Sun Jian come directly to the martial arts hall to study. Instead, he asked Huang Zhong to send a group of troops to him, and let Sun Jian lead the cadres to defeat the two counties of Lingling and Guiyang.
