"General Hui, that's true."

Huang Gai said cautiously.

"These Jiangdong clans, they really gave them face!"

Gan Ning was furious when he heard this,

"General, if you want me to say, let's just send someone to the door and arrest them all directly!"

When Huang Gai heard this, he immediately panicked,

"The Great General must not be like this! We must use gentle means, so that these people will not betray! ”

"What General Gongfu said is extremely true, the rebellious general was too harsh back then, which eventually led to the rebellion of many scholars."

Han Dang also had good words to persuade.

Yang Ling was silent, stretched out his fingers and tapped on the tabletop, and laughed suddenly,

"The two generals don't need to be nervous, I, Yang, am not indiscriminately killing innocent people."

"Since they won't come to see me, I might as well go and see them directly!"

"I'm going to visit Mr. Bu at once, and I'm going to ask the two generals to prepare first!"

Huang Gai and Han Dang gave up their hands and left the lobby immediately.

After the two left, Gan Ning was a little angry,

"These Jiangdong scholars are so arrogant, and they are no different from the scholars of the Central Plains."

"Why didn't the general follow the example he did in Puyang back then, find out a few of them, and make an example of killing chickens and monkeys, so as not to worry that they will not obey!"

Yang Ling heard this, but he couldn't help but laugh dumbly,

"Xingba's words are wrong."

"The rivers and lakes are not about fighting and killing, the rivers and lakes are about the sophistication of human feelings."

"At the moment, we are only taking Jianye preliminarily, and the people in the city are in turmoil, and there are blue-eyed people outside."

"If you go on a killing spree at this juncture, wouldn't it give him a chance?"

Gan Ning pursed his lips and said disapprerovingly,

"Well, I don't bother to think about the truth here, just do what the general says!"

"You also go clean up and go with me to visit Zhang Zhao in the afternoon."

Yang Ling said with a smile.

"Whoa!"

Gan Ning was ordered to leave.

After lunch, Yang Ling took Huang Gai, Han Dang, and Gan Ning to Zhang Zhao's mansion.

"Second brother, go knock on the door."

Yang Ling commanded.

"Yes, General!"

Dian Wei swaggered forward and slammed the door!

"Open the door, open the door!"

"Who's coming!"

There was an answer from inside the door, and a small crack opened in the door of Zhang's mansion, and a servant poked his head out.

When he saw the majestic Cao Wei soldier behind Yang Ling, he was startled and stammered,

"Master Jun, you ...... You guys...... What is this about? ”

"Hurry up and report to your master, just say that the general of the court is coming to visit!"

Dian Wei urged impatiently.

When the servant heard this, a smile appeared on his face,

"My lord has been feeling cold in the past few days, and he is resting in the room, I'm afraid it's ......"

But before he finished speaking, he saw Dian Wei's eyes widen angrily, and he snorted coldly,

"Labor and management Shu Daoshan, if you don't report it again, believe it or not, I picked your skin!"

Dian Wei has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he suddenly became angry, and the aura of slaughter exuded by his body, how could the servants be able to resist it?

He breathed sluggishly, as if he was about to be suffocated, and reluctantly said,

"Villain...... This...... I'm going to report to my lord! ”

"That's pretty much it! You go and report, let's go and rest first! ”

As he spoke, Dian Wei pushed the door open, turned his head and smiled,

"Big brother, let's go in!"

Yang Ling nodded, took Huang Gai and the others, and directly entered Zhang Zhao's mansion.

Although the servants on the side had the intention to stop them, they didn't dare to step forward when they looked at the murderous Cao soldiers.

Yang Ling and his entourage sat down in the lobby, and after a while, they saw Zhang Zhao hurrying over with a few sons.

"I've seen the General!"

As soon as he saw Yang Ling sitting in the hall, Zhang Zhao guessed his identity and hurriedly saluted respectfully.

"Gong Zhang doesn't have to be polite!"

Yang Ling stood up with a smile and helped Zhang Zhao to his seat and sat down.

"If you take the liberty to come here today, Zhang Gong won't feel bothered, right?"

"The general is so polite, you can come to the humble house, it can be said that the mansion is full of brilliance!"

Zhang Zhao said a few polite words, and then said cautiously,

"It's just that I don't know if the general is here this time, but what's the matter?"

"The purpose of my trip, Zhang Gong must have known it for a long time, so why should he ask knowingly?"

Yang Ling said with a smile.

When Zhang Zhao heard this, he had a headache.

As an important minister of Jiangdong who guarded Jianye, he naturally knew Yang Ling's intentions.

It's nothing more than that the scholars refused to obey Yang Ling's dispatch and wanted to start a knife from him!

Seeing that Zhang Zhao was silent, Yang Ling smiled and said softly,

"Now the situation is obvious, my Great Wei will unify the world, just around the corner."

"If the Jiangdong Shi clan blindly resists, it will only increase unnecessary bloodshed and sacrifice."

"Gong Zhang has always been kind-hearted, why not persuade others to surrender sincerely?"

The Jiangdong scholars are arrogant in nature, and most of them only want to protect their own interests.

Whether it was the Northern Expedition or resisting the invasion of Cao Wei, they did not have much interest.

Otherwise, when Cao Cao attacked Jiangdong in history, there would not have been so many people who responded to Zhang Zhao's suggestion to surrender.

After Sun Ce captured Jiangdong that year, many scholars adopted an attitude of non-cooperation.

As a result, the young and vigorous Sun Ce went on a killing spree, so that until now, many Jiangdong scholars also have resentment against Sun Quan.

But they didn't immediately take refuge in Yang Ling, and they were also worried.

After all, the final outcome of the war has not yet been decided, and if Sun Quan comes back from the counterattack, they will inevitably be purged at that time!

And if you want to dispel their doubts, the best way is to let Zhang Zhao come forward.

Zhang Zhao was outstanding, and after taking refuge in Sun Ce, he was quickly reused, and Sun Ce regarded him as a Guan Zhong-like existence.

After Sun Quan succeeded to the throne, Zhang Zhao appeased the officials and the people internally, pacified the remnants of the Yellow Turban externally, and defeated Zhou Feng, the thief of Yuzhang.

Its prestige in Jiangdong is even higher than that of Sun Quan and Zhou Yu.

Later, Sun Quan even complained, "The ministers of Eastern Wu came to worship me, and the next court worshiped Zhang Gong, which has been the case for decades, without exception." ”

It can be seen that Zhang Zhao is deeply popular in Jiangdong!

Because of this, Yang Ling plans to start with Zhang Zhao and persuade the Jiangdong clan!

After some careful consideration, Zhang Zhao finally agreed,

"The meaning of the general, I understand it below, and I am willing to help the general!"

"Zhang Gong is a smart person, I like you very much!"

Yang Ling laughed and nodded,

"The stability of Jiangdong in the future is inseparable from Zhang Gong's sitting."

After the two exchanged a few more pleasantries, Yang Ling took the people away.

Watching their backs disappear, Zhang Zhao sat there with a little blank in his eyes.

"Father, do we really want to betray Wu Hou and help Yang Ling?"

Zhang Cheng, the son on the side, couldn't help but ask,

"In this way, our Zhang family will be infamous for being disloyal and unjust!"

Zhang Zhao glanced at him and sighed,

"If you don't agree to the general, what can our Zhang family do?"
