Chapter 1105
Sun Ce was not in a hurry to see Ding Chong, but discussed with Zhang Hong first.

He has always had a grudge against Huang Zu's revenge for killing his father.

But he dared not act rashly.

One is that the emperor promised his future, and he didn't want to ruin it because of people like Huang Zu.

The second is that Zhang Ji is right in front of him, and his strength is not bad.If he acted rashly, it would be unfavorable to Huang Zu, and he might be directly suppressed by Zhang Ji.

Now that Zhang Ji is leaving, without the pressure of reality, as long as he can do it cleverly and hide it from the eyes and ears of the emperor, revenge is not impossible.

Obviously, Ding Chong also has such worries.

"Sir, what should I do?"

Zhang Hong looked at Sun Ce and sighed secretly.

Although Sun Ce has calmed down in recent years, he is impatient by nature.When it comes to his father's hatred, he can't hold back.

"The general can't kill in front of Ding Junshi, can he?"

"That's impossible." Sun Ce smiled wryly.

No matter how eager he was for revenge, he did not dare to kill in front of Ding Chong.Although Ding Chong's martial arts were not considered high-strength, he was not weak either.When he followed the emperor to fight Li Jue in Huayin, if he hadn't been a step behind the emperor, he might have been the one who cut off Li Jue's head.

Although he failed to make any meritorious service, fighting side by side with the emperor is one of his greatest assets.

His son Ding Yi is now the emperor's servant, and he is deeply trusted by the emperor.

Annoying Ding Chong will inevitably affect the emperor's attitude.

"Then just bear with it and wait until we are in the jungle."

Sun Ce looked at Zhang Hong and nodded.

The two came to Ding Chong's residence, and Ding Chong was talking to Huang Zu.Huang Zu was all smiles, nodding his head in agreement with Ding Chong.Seeing Sun Ce and his subjects, Ding Chong nodded slightly.Huang Zu got up immediately, squeezed out an embarrassed smile, and nodded in greeting.

Sun Ce ignored Huang Zu and saluted Ding Chong.

Ding Chong invited them to sit down, cut straight to the point, and talked about his plans.

Zhang Ji will return to Nanyang to report on his duties, and the Xiliang army under his command will also leave. Ding Chong will be responsible for the task of attacking Jiaozhou.

Ding Chong planned to divide the army into land and water, with Sun Ce commanding the navy as the vanguard, and Huang Zu commanding the infantry as the rear army.

Huang Zu's Gan Ning Division was transferred to Sun Ce's command, while Zu Lang and Huang Gai under Sun Ce's command were transferred to the Central Army, under the direct command of Ding Chong.

Upon hearing this arrangement, Sun Ce and Zhang Hong exchanged a look, showing a helpless wry smile.

He underestimated Ding Chong.

Ding Chong didn't intend to give him a chance at all. Instead, he took advantage of the conflict between him and Huang Zu, cut each of them, and formed his own Chinese army.

Huang Zu handed over the titan Gan Ning. Although it was a cut, the loss was not big.

Gan Ning was at odds with Huang Zu in the first place, and sooner or later they would separate.

But Zu Lang and Huang Gai were his main force, they were taken away by Ding Chong, even if he got Gan Ning as a supplement, his strength was still damaged.

But he couldn't refuse Ding Chong's order, he could only accept it.

Zu Lang has long since left.He is just a Zongshuai in Danyang, he has no big ambitions, and he is not an old member of the Sun Clan. He has no interest in following Sun Ce's overseas conquests, and has repeatedly expressed the idea of ​​switching to the sect.

Ding Chong must have heard about it a long time ago, and making the request at this time can be described as a sharp hit.

In mid-March, Zhang Ji arrived in Xiangyang and stopped advancing on the grounds that he was unwell.

After Liu Xie received the news, he ordered Zhang Xiu to rush to Xiangyang with ten Yulin cavalry to meet him.

Seeing my uncle and nephew after several years, I feel a little emotional.

Zhang Xiu has already married a wife and had children, married and established a business.His wife, Cui Ziyu, was born in the Cui family of Qinghe, Jizhou. She is Cui Yan's younger sister.The couple get along day and night, very harmonious.This time, Cui Ziyu came to welcome Zhang Ji under the imperial edict.

Seeing the heroic Cui Ziyu, Zhang Ji and his wife were also happy for Zhang Xiu.

They never thought that Zhang Xiu could still marry a rich Shandong woman.

Back then, when Li Jue wanted to marry Mrs. Tang, he got frustrated.

Seeing Zhang Ji and his wife, Zhang Xiu felt a little emotional.

I haven't seen him for a few years, Zhang Ji has aged a lot and gained weight, and he is no longer the heroic spirit of the past.If you don't look carefully, you will think he is a rich man.However, there were gains and losses. Although Zhang Ji failed to make meritorious service on the battlefield in the past few years, he had two sons and a daughter in succession, and he had successors.

On the contrary, his wife, Zou Shi, is in good spirits and her skin has become more delicate.

After exchanging pleasantries, Zhang Xiu told Zhang Ji that before he set off, Taiwei Jia Xu asked him to bring a few words.

In the past few years, Zhang Jihui towned Nanyang and Nanjun, and went to Yizhou again. Although he didn't have great military exploits, he still had credit for stabilizing one side.The emperor did not forget him, but his hussar general was too high to be promoted to his official position.And without military exploits, you can't be promoted to a noble, you can only wait for the future.

After hearing this, Zhang Ji breathed a sigh of relief.

As Dong Zhuo's former subordinate, he didn't trust the emperor, but he trusted Jia Xu.With Jia Xu as his guarantee, he can sleep peacefully.

He didn't dare to think about being promoted.He was already very satisfied if he could not be settled by Qiuhou.

He is old, he has no ambition to win or lose, and he has children again. It is his greatest expectation to keep his current wealth.

Zhang Ji set off immediately and rushed to Wancheng.

Jia Xu went out of the city to greet him, met Zhang Ji at the post house, and hosted a banquet to welcome Zhang Ji.

The reception banquet was not a big one, apart from Jia Xu and Zhang Ji, a few juniors such as Zhang Xiu, Yang Fu, and Zhao Ang accompanied them.

Zhao Ang is currently the captain of the Hexi captain, and this time he was going to report on his duties, which happened just in time, so he came along to join in the fun.He is already married to Wang Yi, and is also familiar with Zhang Xiu's wife Cui Ziyu, and Yang Fu's wife is not an outsider, she is Ma Teng's son and Ma Yunlu's younger sister.

When Zhang Ji asked, he was very happy.

"Wenhe, it's all thanks to you that the people of Liangzhou are today."

Jia Xu shook his head. "It's the emperor who is wise and uses both civil and martial arts. We just wait for the meeting at the right time."

Zhang Xiu also said that the emperor not only attached importance to Liangzhou, but also Youzhou and Bingzhou, but Liangzhou was the earliest to attach to the emperor and had the most talents.After the emperor accepted Lu Bu's daughter Lu Xiaohuan as a nobleman, the people from Youzhou were most anxious, wanting to choose a beautiful woman to enter the palace.

Zhang Ji was very curious, what does this have to do with selecting beautiful women to enter the palace?
Zhang Xiu then said that there was a joke recently that the emperor would not accept nobles easily, so every quota has an important meaning.For example, Queen Fu represents Xuzhou, Ma Yunlu represents Liangzhou, Lu Xiaohuan represents Bingzhou, Xun Wenqian represents Yuzhou, Dong Guiren represents Jizhou, and Song Guiren represents Sili.In the future, the nobles will be selected in Youzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Yizhou, Jiaozhou, Yanzhou, and Qingzhou.

Among these states, Youzhou is under the greatest pressure.

For beauty contestants in other states, as long as they have a good character, Youzhou, like Liangzhou and Bingzhou, bears the symbol of force, so it is much more difficult to choose a woman with good martial arts skills.

So so far, Youzhou has not found a suitable candidate, and the influence of Youzhou people in the army is far less than that of Liangzhou and Bingzhou.

Zhang Jiben was a rough man, he was more interested in these jokes than serious words, so he said something right away.

"In this way, the Yuzhou people are the most powerful. Besides Xun Guiren who has already entered the palace, isn't there Yuan Guiren and the pair of sisters? No wonder Ding Chong will take over from me and take charge of the Southern Expedition."
