The Power of the Three Kingdoms at the End of the Han Dynasty and the Imperial Power of the Han Dyna

The war continues in Guandu.

Sun Ce, from Jiangdong, exchanged a piece of jade seal for the Sun family's old tribe and started his hegemony as king.

195 years.

Yuan Shu stamped Sun Ce and released him, and Sun Ce finally returned to the route he should have taken two years ago. However, the current situation is completely different from two years ago.

Hebei has been completely integrated by Liu Han, and Yanzhou Cao Cao has also defeated the devil's civil strife. Liu Bei in Xuzhou is now entrusted to Xuzhou by Tao Qian. Although Liu Bei has not been doing well, he has also managed to get into Xuzhou as a pastoralist.

Looking around, only Sun Ce had no place to stand.

Sun Ce took his old troops to help his uncle Wu Jing first. He was driven back to Jiangbei by Liu Yao and was now stationed in Liyang. As he went, he continued to recruit troops. When he arrived at Wu Jing's station, he had recruited five to six thousand people.

Encountering a group of soldiers and horses on the way, Sun Ce recognized the person at a glance and was overjoyed: "Could it be that the person coming is Zhou Lang?"

Zhou Yu rushed over, "Brother Bo Fu!"

"Ha! It's indeed Zhou Lang."

"Brother Bo Fu!"

"Zhou Lang!"

"Brother Bo Fu!"

"Gong Jin!"

"Brother Bo Fu!"

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu jumped off their horses, and they hugged each other happily. The three greatest joys in life are meeting an old friend in a foreign country, how can you not be happy?

Zhou Yu's father, Zhou Shang, was Liu Yao's Danyang prefect at this time. After Yuan Shu and Liu Yao confronted each other across the river, he went to Danyang to join Zhou Shang.

Unlike the Sun family who was born with mud legs, the Zhou family can be said to be the top noble family in the Han Dynasty.

but!

Under the command of the young Zhou Yu, Liu Yao rebelled against the Han clan clan.

Zhou Yu came to meet Sun Ce with his father Zhou Shang's troops, grain and grass, and large ships crossing the river. Liu Yao's Yangtze River defense line was breached from within!

In the evening, in the large tent of the military camp, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu drank wine and talked freely.

"I went to Danyang to visit my uncle. I didn't want to meet my brother on the way. It's really God's will! Haha..."

"I just left Yuan Shu and met Gong Jin. This is God's will! Haha..."

"Haha... I have long heard that my brother is good at attacking and fighting under Yuan Shu's tent. I wonder what the mission is for this expedition?"

"Well! This expedition was not ordered by Yuan Shu, but by the wish of the deceased father. Come!"

Sun Ce poured wine for Zhou Yu. In his eyes, he and Zhou Yu were like flesh and blood.

"I want to go to Qu'a first to conquer Liu Yao and avenge my father."

"Yuan Shu has always treated people with suspicion. This time, he sent his troops and horses to his brother. It seems that Yuan Shu treats his brother well!"

Zhou Yu naturally understood Yuan Shu as a person, but he was curious about how Sun Ce used to obtain Sun's troops and horses from Yuan Shu.

"Haha... These soldiers and horses were not given for free, I borrowed them from him."

"borrowed?"

Sun Ce did not continue to play riddles with Zhou Yu: "Yuan Shu lent me his troops and horses in exchange for the jade seal passed down by his late father as a pledge."

"Imperial jade seal?"

Zhou Yu took a breath of cold air, this is a jade seal!

"Could it be the national treasure that my respected father fished out of the well when the Luoyang Palace was burned down?"

If the one from the north finds out, tsk tsk tsk... my scalp goes numb just thinking about it.

Sun Ce affirmed: "Exactly!"

Zhou Yu said hurriedly: "Ouch! That's not appropriate!"

Sun Ce was puzzled: "Isn't it right? What's wrong?"

Zhou Yu expressed his conjecture: "I'm afraid that if his troops retreat in the future, Yuan Shu will not return the jade seal!"

How could you lend such a small number of soldiers and horses to a person who won't return the country's artifact?

"Won't?"

Zhou Yu affirmed: "Absolutely not!"

"What if it's not that he doesn't return my jade seal, but that I don't return his troops?"

"Oh! Brother, please don't joke. How can a few soldiers and horses be compared with the jade seal passed down to the country?"

"Humph!"

Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu with strange eyes. Zhou Yu looked at Sun Ce and finally understood the mystery. "Brother borrowed troops and horses, could it be that he wanted to..."

"Well! Nowadays, the princes are fighting and the world is in chaos. The jade seal in the hands of people like Yuan Shu is just a dream of being emperor for a few years. With soldiers and horses in my hands, I can expand my territory. Huh! One day, I will We must conquer the six counties and eighty prefectures in Jiangdong and complete the unfinished business of my late father."

Hearing Sun Ce talk about his ambition to achieve hegemony, Zhou Yu was also full of enthusiasm: "Brother has such great ambitions, and I am willing to do my best."

"Oops! Gongjin! I have accomplished something great for Gongjin! Haha..."

Sun Ce is very happy, he has more help to conquer the world!

"Ha ha……"

"Come!"

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu happily drank the wine in one gulp.

"Ah! Good wine! Good wine!"

"Brother has such great ambitions, but these soldiers and horses are far from enough. We should recruit all the talents from Jiangdong. Hey! Does brother know the two talents from Jiangdong?"

"Two pictures? Could it be..."

"Well! One is Zhang Zhao from Pengcheng, whose name is Zibu; the other is Zhang Hong from Guangling, whose name is Zigang. Both of them are talented people from all over the world, and they live here in seclusion to avoid chaos. Why don't my brother hire them?"

"Zhang Hong has arrived in Jiangdong?"

"Exactly, because of Zuo Rong's rebellion in Xuzhou, Zhang Hong was defeated and took refuge in Jiangdong."

"Okay! Brother Yu will come to hire you personally."

"Okay! Haha!"

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu took another sip of wine and ate something.

Zhou Yu reminded: "Brother! Please be careful when attacking Qu'a this time!"

"Pay attention?"

"There is a brave young general in Qu'a City who is a descendant of Long Qie, named Long Feng."

Zhou Yu's words aroused Sun Ce's interest: "Oh? Brave young general? How is he better than me?"

"Compared to you? Haha! He is as brave as his brother."

"Is that true? I would like to meet him for a while."

"It seems that my brother is very eager to ask for help! Haha..."

"Ha ha……"

With the help of everyone, Sun Ce's team was formed. Not only did they reintegrate and control the Sun family, they also received help from Zhang Hong and other celebrities.

Zhao Yu, the prefect of Guangling, was killed by Zuo Rong, who was currently stationed in the south of Moling County, Danyang County. Zhang Hong wanted to avenge his benefactor, so he took the initiative to lead people to join Sun Ce's camp this time.

Now, Sun Ce's team has just begun to take shape.

Civil servants: Zhang Hong, Qin Song, Chen Duan.

Generals: Huang Gai, Chen Wu.

Relatives: Sun He, Sun Bi, Wu Jing, Xu Kun.

Confidants: Zhou Yu, Zhu Zhi, Lu Fan.

Especially Zhou Yu, who is both civil and military.

From Sun Ce's point of view, this is called brothers working together as one, which can break through metal.

But looking at Zhou Yu from another angle, he was successfully blacklisted by someone in the north.

Your family belongs to a high-ranking gentry family in Yangzhou, and your hometown, Shu County, is across the river from Danyang.

Liu Yao only had a piece of land in Danyang at this time. After driving away the Sun family, he appointed your Zhou family as the prefect of Danyang. This is a great trust and a favor.

For a high-ranking noble family, there is a high probability that they would not betray their benefactor.

Because you are of the same class, you are all Han ministers, not the Yuan family's lackeys.

Because your Zhou family is from Lujiang, Lu Kang is from Wujun in the same state, and you are the parents of your Zhou family. Yuan Shu and Sun Ce forced the Lu family to death. This is a big feud.

But Zhou Yu chose betrayal for his brother.

It is unjust to rebel against others while eating them!

The Zhou family gave birth to a child who was even more prodigal than Cao Cao. Although Cao Cao was young and got into a lot of troubles, he always fought for the people at the bottom and fought against the powerful. As for Zhou Yu, the century-old reputation of the Zhou family has been completely ruined!

It doesn’t sound good, and it’s likely to lose fans, but that’s the truth.

If Zhou Yu recruited soldiers and caravan brothers to fight against the Yangtze River in his hometown of Shu County, it would have been your ability. Liu Yao also pinched his nose and admitted it. At most, he was careless in making friends. After all, he did not take advantage of you. He defeated you based on his ability. !

However, you took advantage of the nobles' dividends, took advantage of the nobles' trust, and then sold your ancestors' century-old reputation with a single blow.

This is Zhou Yu's choice, Zhou Shang's choice, and even more so the Lujiang Zhou family's choice. (End of chapter)
