After Sun Ce rested in Shaxian for two days, he boarded the ship with his whole army to prepare to collect Yuzhang.

Before the army marched out, Sun Ce sent Gong Cao Yu to turn over, and the light boat went to Yuzhang to say surrender.

Sun Ce's routine of "saluting first and then soldiering" was the same as the previous attack on Hefei, the difference was that Yu turned and successfully persuaded Huaxin to surrender, while Zhang Zhao returned in Hefei without success.

The persuasion of surrender pays attention to the right time and place, and the success of Yu Tuo is not better than Zhang Zhao, but the timing of the persuasion of the two is very different.

Long Xiang is similar to "young nouveau riche" and "stunned young man", Zhang Zhao even despised it when he first saw him, and he was more communicating with Lu Su to express his interests.

Hua Xin's situation is very different from Long Xiang, he worshiped Taiwei Chen Qiu as a teacher in his early years, and Lu Zhi, Zheng Xuan, Guan Ning, etc.

The Han Dynasty raised scholars for 400 years, and Hua Xin, as an outstanding representative of scholars, was still devoted to the imperial court at the end of the Han Dynasty.

He was recruited by He Jin to serve in the highest authority of the Han Dynasty; He persuaded Yuan Shu to beg Dong when Dong Zhuo was in turmoil, and he had a sense of responsibility to set things right; Later, he served as Yuzhang Taishou, which coincided with the death of Liu Xuan, the assassin of Yangzhou, and was promoted by the people of Yangzhou as the new assassin history, but refused because there was no imperial order.

At this time, Hua Xin was famous and modest, but he was not very good at using soldiers, although he was loved by the people in Yuzhang, but he was helpless and powerless against the clan thieves in the county.

In Haidu, Shangyi and other places in the northwest of Yuzhang, the powerful and powerful gathered troops to defend their own self-government, and supported Huaxin on the surface, but they did not take the county guard yamen seriously in private, and the county officials could not be sent to the locality, and the local taxes and money and grain would not be paid;

Compared with the Yang Fengyin of Haiduan and Shangyun, Poyang Haoqiang in the northeast of Yuzhang fought by force, they denied the legitimacy of Huaxin and killed officials sent by the county government;

In addition, when the chaos in Yangzhou, Danyang Renzhi falsely claimed that he was appointed as the Taishou of Luling, and directly enclosed Luling, Ganxian, Nanye and other counties in the south of Yuzhang into counties, and artificially divided half of Huaxin's management area.

The younger brother in Yuzhang couldn't hold it down, Liu Xun of the Lujiang River in the north often went south to make trouble, and the forces in Jingzhou in the west also frequently crossed the line.

Now that Sun Ce destroyed Liu Xun and defeated Huang Zu, and went down the river from Jiangxia with the power of victory, Hua Xin asked himself if he was not Sun Ce's opponent, and it would be meaningless to resist again, so he pushed the boat down the river and agreed to Yu Turn.

At the end of December, Sun Cejun went to Nanchang, Huaxin immediately opened the city and surrendered, and Yuzhang was peaceful.

Hua Xin has been famous for a long time, and Sun Ce treated him politely when he met him, and was introduced as a guest of staff.

After the greetings, Hua Xin introduced the county officials to Sun Ce and introduced the situation in various parts of Yuzhang.

Sun Ce frowned when he heard this, and asked Hua Xin curiously, "That Zhizhi is pretending to edict Luling, why does Ziyu (Hua Xin) ignore him?"

Hua Xin's face was full of bitterness: "There are many fierce criminals in Danyang, there are Rong Rong killing officials and seizing the county in the past, and then there are Zhizhi defrauding Luling, it has become a fact that I have arrived in Yuzhang, there is turmoil inside and outside, I really can't calm it, looking down on the general Huwei..."

Before Hua Xin finished speaking, Sun Ce hurriedly asked, "How many soldiers are there in Luling?"

Hua Xin replied, "Yu Zhi controls the six counties around Luling, and the total number of garrisons in various places is probably 10,000 or 20,000..."

"One or two thousand? Not much—"

Sun Ceyan frowned, and said in his heart that Su Zhi has been a few years old, if it becomes the climate, isn't it the second Long Xiang?

Zhou Yu saw that Sun Ce's expression was different, and quickly guessed the other party's thoughts, so he got up and relieved: "There are only 10,000 or 20,000 defenders in the six counties of Fuzhi, Nanchang is not far from Luling, and our army has the advantage of waterways, so it is easy to break."

"Willing to be the vanguard."

Taishi Ciyuan was under Liu Xuan's account, and he heard of the name of Su Zhi, and was the first to stand up and ask for help.

"Hmm."

Sun Ce nodded, turned to Sun Ben and instructed, "Brother Lao will stay in Nanchang, and I will personally lead the army to beg for Zhizhi tomorrow."

"Bo Fu can go with confidence." Sun Ben clenched his fists and took his life.

The next day, the Jiangdong warship Shuo Ganshui went upstream.

I saw that the ten thousand oars hit the waves and splashed, and the boats entered in turn like a mobile walled city, and the scene was magnificent.

The Jiangdong Army successively won great victories in Liuyi and Shaxian, covering up the defeat in Hefei

Under the influence of everyone, everyone was full of confidence in taking Luling County, and Sun Ce unexpectedly did not send an envoy to persuade him to surrender.

Sun Ce didn't send an envoy to Luling, and he couldn't stop Su Zhi from sending an envoy to see him.

Luling's light boat went down the water, met Sun Ce's fleet in the middle of the road, and sent Su Zhi's "Let Xianxin" to him.

Coincidentally, this fake Luling Taishou Zhizhi fell ill on the eve of Sun Ce's army.

Su Zhi said that he was too sick to manage the government, and asked Sun Ce to take charge of the affairs of Luling County on his behalf.

Sun Ce couldn't stop laughing when he saw it, and raised his hand to hand the letter to the people around him to circulate.

"This disease..."

"What a coincidence..."

"It is also appropriate to praise the bravery of the lord and the overlord and Han Xin's soldiers in the letter, but it is just compared with Zhang Liang and Chen Pinglai..."

"It's like a Su Zhi's style."

......

In front of the envoy, a group of civil and military officers on the main ship did not shy away from it, ridiculing while reading the letter.

Yu Xuan said that he had made meritorious contributions to Huaxin, which made Zhang Zhao feel that his face was gloomy, and he had been silent for the past two days.

It was only at this time that Zhang Zhao reminded Sun Ce: "My lord, beware of fraud."

"Hahaha, it's okay..."

Sun Ce laughed arbitrarily, and then pointed to the Jiangdong fleet full of pride: "In the face of absolute strength, all deceit will have nowhere to hide, so I can rest assured to receive Luling."

"Oh..."

Zhang Zhao responded, and then stepped back and didn't want to speak.

Seeing this, Sun Ce leaned over and whispered in his ear to comfort: "Zibu doesn't have to worry about mustard, Long Xiang doesn't know that current affairs have nothing to do with you, wait for me to settle Yuzhang properly, let's go to Hefei again."

"Then Deng Dang..." Zhang Zhao wanted to speak.

Sun Ce smiled knowingly: "Long Xiang doesn't know that I broke the power of Huang Zu, so I dare to defend the lonely city, it will be very different if I go again at this time, Su Zhi is his example, maybe Hefei's book is even more surprisingly written, Deng Dang will not have a problem..."

"Uh... Okay..."

Zhang Zhao said this, but he was still unsure in his heart, they were able to defeat Huang Zu in Jiangxia, in addition to the soldiers fighting hard, it was also related to Liu Biao's reinforcements.

Sun Ce beheaded Han Xi in a formation, defeated Liu Biao's reinforcements in the suburbs, took advantage of the rout to flee to the city to seize the door, and then took Shaxian in one go.

Long Xiang's Hefei is a lonely city, and he will not expect any reinforcements, so there will be no flaws to be found.

Attacking Hefei is really cost-effective?

Long Xiang is also a soft bone?

Can the Lord really get his wish?

With these questions, Zhang Zhao entered with Sun Ce and took over Luling.

The area of Yuzhang County is too large, Sun Ce saw that Luling had been a county for several years, so he separated Luling from Yuzhang according to the territory demarcated by Yuzhi, and appointed his brother Sun Fu as the Taishou of Luling and Sun Ben as the Taishou of Yuzhang.

At this point, the six counties of Yangzhou have become seven counties, except for Jiujiang, which is controlled by Yan Xiang, six of which already belong to Sun Ce.

The ancients also had obsessive-compulsive disorder similar to Jika, and after Sun Ce took Yuzhang and Luling without blood, his attention was focused on Jiujiang County, and his next target was Hefei.
