Han Dao world

Chapter 570

"What did you say?" Yuan Shu looked at Zhang Hong in surprise.

Zhang Hong had an ominous premonition that this time he was going to fail.Even so, he bowed his hands again, said what he had just said, and added a few words at the end.

"Emissary, Lujiang was originally the land of Yangzhou. Taking Lujiang is not only for Zhou Yuzhou, but also for the envoy. Please reconsider."

"Oh——" Yuan Shu dragged his voice, and then asked again: "So you still remember that I am Yangzhou Mu? Then Sun Bofu and Zhou Gongjin will obey my orders?"

"Of course." Zhang Hong smiled wryly.

"Then let them withdraw." Yuan Shu waved his hand.

"Withdrawn?"

"Yeah, stop hitting, it's a waste of manpower and material resources." Yuan Shu took his seat again and patted his thigh. "Zhou Jiamou can't do it either, he's no better than me. In my opinion, even if the navy enters the Huaihe River, you can't stop the trial and match, and if you don't, you'll have to retreat to Shouchun. I only have such a small territory, why? Can it support so many people?"

Zhang Hong looked embarrassed.Yuan Shu's words were so bitter that he almost said that Sun Ce's goal was not Lujiang, but Jiujiang.

"After the troops are withdrawn, let Sun Bofu and Zhou Gongjin pack up and go. I heard that Jia Wenhe's first batch of students have already dropped out, and they are recruiting the second batch of students. Let them learn how to use troops, and follow What can Zhou Jiamou learn? Look at my son-in-law, that’s the real skill, he can travel thousands of miles and become a prince in one battle.”

Yuan Shu said with emotion: "Therefore, it is reasonable to say that there are ministers from the Kanto and generals from the Kanxi. In terms of the way of using troops, the Liangzhou people are brilliant. The people from the Kanto are all talkative, and when they really go to battle, they will run away."

He thought for a while, and then said: "I admire the emperor more and more. He is really a sage. I knew at a young age that the people of Kanto are unreliable. After a few years of hard work in Liangzhou, I was trying to seek skin from a tiger. Not only did I tame the people of Liangzhou, but also tamed them Xianbei is gone. This method, tsk tsk tsk, is brilliant."

Yuan Shu talked loudly on his own, and didn't give Zhang Hong a chance to speak. Finally, he waved his hand and called his attendants, telling them to throw away the Lujiang order, ordering Ji Ling and Zhang Xun to retreat to Jiujiang, and Ji Ling stayed in Hefei for the time being. Don't go back to Shouchun.

Upon hearing Yuan Shu's order, Zhang Hong knew that he had nothing to talk about, so he got up and said goodbye.

Yuan Shu stopped him again. "Zhang Zigang, do you know Zang Hong?"

"know."

"Did you know that he was the prefect of Yanmen?"

"heard."

"You see, this is the wise choice. You are a smart man, go ahead. With your talent, even if you are not as good as Xun Yu, you are not weaker than Xun You. Why bother to mess around with Sun Bofu? The emperor is so wise, do you think Can he still rule Jiangdong?"

Zhang Hong's face twitched twice, he cupped his hands and said goodbye in a hurry.

Yuan Shu raised his voice and shouted: "I sincerely remind you, don't pay by mistake. Let me tell you, I now understand what the meaning of 'Dating the Han Dynasty, when the road is high' means. That is to say, if you want to Daihan The people who have to hang their heads high on the side of the road to show the public."

Zhang Hong's feet stagnated and he almost tripped.

Seeing Zhang Hong leave in a state of embarrassment, Yuan Shu was in a good mood, drank the wine in his glass, slapped his legs and began to sing.

"A gentleman takes precautions and stays out of doubts. The melon fields don't accept shoes, and the plums don't get crowned..."

Zhang Hong went out and shook his head speechlessly when he heard Yuan Shu's high-pitched singing.

-

When Zhang Hong rushed back to Shucheng, Ji Ling and Zhang Xun had already received Yuan Shu's order to evacuate Shucheng.

Faced with this situation, Zhou Zhong was hit hard, but there was nothing he could do.Without Yuan Shu's assistance, it is even less likely for him to conquer Lujiang, and there is no other way but to withdraw his troops.

Sun Ce could retreat to Jiangdong, but he had nowhere to go.Although Yuan Shu didn't say anything, he was ashamed to return to Shouchun and live in the same city as Yuan Shu.

After much deliberation, Zhou Zhong decided to exonerate the nominal Yuzhou Mu, and went to plead guilty.

Before leaving, he found Zhou Yu.

"Gongjin, follow me into the imperial court. Yuan Gonglu has been a fool all his life, but this time he sees it correctly. The emperor is holy, and the destiny of the great man is unending. Although Sun Ce is brave, he is not the opponent of the emperor. Dominating Jiangdong is just a dream. The more you and I The sooner you enter the court, the better, with your talent, you will never be inferior to Huang Yi."

Zhou Yu thought for a long time, then shook his head. "It's still uncle who entered the court first to see the situation. I'm waiting for news from uncle."

Zhou Zhong thinks it makes sense.Zhou Yu once refused the emperor's call, but now he took the initiative to enter the court, which is inevitable to be looked down upon.He entered the court first, so as to find out what the emperor said. If the emperor still wanted to recruit Zhou Yu, it would not be too late for Zhou Yu to enter the court again.

"Then you have to be careful and don't do anything out of the ordinary." Zhou Zhong reminded: "Sun Ce is easy to kill and has a very bad reputation. He will inevitably be criticized in the future. If you can persuade him, persuade him more. If you can't persuade him, Keep it at a respectful distance."

Zhou Yu didn't speak.

-

Zhou Zhong simply cleaned up, and then set off.He took the Yangtze River, went up against the water, and planned to pass through Jingzhou, pass through Wuguan, and enter Guanzhong.

Both Sun Ce and Zhou Yu went to the river to see him off. Seeing Zhou Zhong's boat drifting away, Sun Ce looked back at Zhou Yu.

"Gongjin, why didn't you go together?"

Zhou Yu asked back, "Does the general want me to leave?"

Sun Ce chuckled. "Actually, I don't think Yuan Gonglu's words are unreasonable. The Son of Heaven is sage, and it will be a matter of time before the Han Dynasty rejuvenates. Whoever wants to replace the Han Dynasty will have his head hung in the Beique."

Zhou Yu pondered for a moment. "Are you going to enter the dynasty?"

"Not now." Sun Ce got on his horse and shook the reins lightly. "There is no shortage of famous generals in the Northwest. Even if I enter the court, I'm afraid I won't be able to show my glory. It's better to wait and talk about it after I have made meritorious service." He chuckled: "There are horses in the Northwest, but no boats. In terms of navy, it is still Jiangdong. You and I are still useful after all. Cao Mengde and Liu Xuande can't stop Yuan Benchu, but I can at least hold the river for the court."

Zhou Yu turned to look at Sun Ce, and said, "If that's the case, how can you win the trust of the court?"

Sun Ce smacked his lips and sighed. "I plan to go back to Wu County and discuss with my mother to see if it is necessary to send a hostage to the court. I heard that Cao Mengde's son is now in front of the emperor. He can get the court's war horse, maybe it has something to do with him sending the hostage to the court. .If I have so many war horses, trial and match is nothing."

"Have you discussed with Zhang Zigang?"

"After discussing it, he thought so too, and even took the initiative to invite Ying to go and have a look." Sun Ce smiled, feeling a little helpless. "You also know that they hope that the big man can be rejuvenated."

Zhou Yu nodded, but did not speak.

Compared with young people like them, Zhang Hong, Zhang Zhao and others have a deeper nostalgia for the court.Under the hopeful situation of the great Han ZTE, the possibility of them supporting Sun Ce's separatist regime in Jiangdong is gradually disappearing.Instead of forcing them to stay here, it is better to send them into the court.

However, he didn't think Dahan Zhongxing would go so smoothly.

The contradiction between Kanto and Kanxi is still there, and the emperor rose up relying on the power of Bingliang, but left the veterans of Kanto aside.Zhou Yu couldn't guess what the emperor was thinking, but he could wait for Zhou Zhong's news and see how the emperor treated Zhou Zhong before deciding whether to stay or not.
