Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 449

Sun Quan has a suspicious personality, and it is not easy to win his trust.

After repeated analysis and derivation, Lan Tian finally asked Hu Ke to respond by raising first and then suppressing, showing loyalty, and playing hard to get.

In fact, there is a lot of risk in this process. Once Sun Quan kills for no reason, the subsequent strategies will not be used. Fortunately, Zhang Zhao assisted at a critical moment.

In fact, Zhang Zhao was also very helpless. The Huaisi faction pushed to expand outwards many times. Whether it was Jingzhou, Jiaozhou or Hefei, they all ended in failure. The conflict between them and the Jiangdong gentry became more and more serious, and the feeling of living under the fence was very uncomfortable. Yes, Zhang Zhao just wanted to leave a way out.

Seeing that Hu Ke didn't refute anymore, Sun Quan thought that the other party had been directly persuaded. Thinking of this, he was a little proud of his purple beard.

"I don't care if you are Yu Xiu or Hu Ke, as long as you are willing to serve Jiangdong, you will be fine. If you want to make achievements, you must have a big tree. After all, Shi Xie is old, and it is impossible to protect you for the rest of your life." Sun Quan continued. advice.

Hu Ke hesitated for a long time, and finally said slowly: "I want to think about it."

"It's fine to think about it, but no one around here is thinking about it. I'll come back in a few days." Sun Quan turned and left after speaking.

Hu Ke cupped his fists and bowed lightly without saying a word. He knew that something would happen if he readily agreed just now, because Lan Tian said that this was not in line with Sun Quan's "personal design", and he would be very suspicious of things that were obtained too easily.

Sun Quan has not dispelled his doubts about Hu Ke for the time being. He was testing the other party in every sentence of the conversation in prison just now. This is very familiar to a veteran who is well versed in politics. He is still waiting for the other two to have sex. It will be confirmed by many parties before deciding whether to keep Hu Ke.

After all, it can be reused by Shi Xie, and the secret work that can survive under Lan Tian's subordinates still has some means. When Sun Quan left, he ordered the prison head to take special care of Hu Ke for the time being. In addition to not continuing to use torture, he should also pay attention to food. full.

Back in the palace, Zhang Zhao was still waiting. He asked Sun Quan expectantly, "My lord, what did Yu Xiu say?"

Sun Quan replied casually: "Yu Xiu said to think about it."

Zhang Zhao frowned, "My lord condescends, and this guy doesn't know what is good or bad? Such a person who doesn't know the current affairs, even if he subdues him, he can't do great things."

"My opinion is exactly the opposite of Zibu's. This person is loyal to the old master Shi Xie and is unwilling to betray at will. Such a righteous man can set an example for the officials in Jiangdong." Sun Quan said meaningfully.

In the golden autumn and September, the secret agents sent by Sun Quan to Jiaozhi went back to Jianye, and finally found out all the details of Hu Ke.

Sun Quan heard that Hu Ke was quite strategic, and was highly valued and appreciated by Shi Xie and Shi Hui. In the end, Shi Xie worried that Lantian would annex Jiaozhi, so he sent Hu Ke to the South China Sea to monitor, which made Shi Hui very angry. That's why Sun Quan's careful work can find the entry point.

Sun Quan once again came to the cell to persuade him to surrender. For nearly a month, there was no news from both parties, as if there had never been an agreement before. Sun Quan was quite satisfied with Hu Ke's actions.

When they met again in the prison, Hu Ke's spirit was much better than the last time because of the better food, and his washed face became less disgusting.

"Have you figured it out?" Sun Quan asked.

Hu Ke nodded and said: "I can play for Jiangdong, but I must meet one condition."

"Tell me and listen."

Sun Quanxin said that it is time to talk about conditions. I have lived for so many years and this is the first time I have seen him. Do you really think you are as talented as Lu Zijing?
Hu Ke quickly said: "Mr. Weiyan has shown me kindness. If I decide to work for Jiangdong today, can you return to Jiaozhou?"

Sun Quan asked playfully, "What do you think? Wei Ziqi, the general of my Ministry of Defense, was killed innocently. It is my benevolence and righteousness that Shi Qian did not execute him."

Hu Ke swallowed his saliva after hearing this: "Then can I take care of him in the future? You see, the eldest son is almost sixty years old, and he really doesn't have much time to live."

Most of the scholars lived a long life, Sun Quan thought that this fellow Shiyan didn't know how long he would live, but it would be of great use to him to keep him in Jiangdong, so he responded with a smile: "If you know your kindness and never forget your master, I will naturally fulfill you. "

Hu Ke was so excited that he bowed down on one knee, clasped his fists and shouted loudly: "I, Yu Xiu, finally met the Ming Lord. From now on, I am willing to go through fire and water for my Lord."

Seeing that Hu Ke had surrendered to him, Sun Quan asked the jailer to open the door of the cell, and then ordered Hu Ke to take a bath and change clothes.

Hu Ke went to Jiangdong for a 'business trip' this time, and he has been in prison since he started working. Now he finally sees the moonlight when the clouds open. He bathes and changes clothes and then enters the palace to meet Sun Quan.

Because he is a professional soldier, Hu Ke is tall and strong, and after changing his prison uniform, he looks extra energetic. Not only his eyes are full of energy, but also he walks boldly and dignifiedly.

"The general has seen the lord." Hu Ke cupped his fists and saluted Sun Quan.

Sun Quan was very happy to see Hu Ke reborn. He smiled and said, "Let me introduce you. This is Zhang Zibu, who is my Jiangdong military advisor."

"I have admired the great name of a military advisor for a long time." Although Hu Ke was paying homage to Zhang Zhao, but comparing him with those military advisors like Liu Bei, it was really a judgment call.

Zhang Zhao cupped his hands in return, and asked falteringly, "I don't know how to call it?"

Just as Hu Ke was about to answer Zhang Zhao, Sun Quan quickly interrupted and asked, "You called yourself Yu Xiu in Jiangdong, and you used Hu Ke in Jiaozhou. What is it?"

"My original name was Yu Xiu, and my courtesy name was Zecheng. I was from Jingzhao. When Li Jue was in chaos in Chang'an, my family fled south to Jingzhou where all the people died. I changed my name to Hu Ke from then on. Later, Cao Cao went south and moved to Jiaozhou to survive. Go down and start sailing and doing business, and finally be appreciated by Wei Yangong in Jiaozhi, and the name Hu Ke has been used all the time, and the lord knows everything after that," Hu Ke explained.

Zhang Zhao nodded after hearing this and said, "Rhetoric establishes sincerity, so sincerity should be well-known in Jingzhao?"

"Xiu is a humble person, so he should be from a humble family." Hu Ke lowered his head and cupped his fists, looking a little uncomfortable.

Seeing this, Sun Quan comforted: "Zecheng, don't underestimate yourself. There are also many children from poor families in Jiangdong. As long as you work hard, you will have a bright future."

"Thank you, my lord." Hu Ke clasped his fists.

"What is Zecheng's intention in going to Jiangdong?" Zhang Zhao asked curiously.

Hu Ke was taken aback for a moment, and then explained: "General Lan built a new Guangzhou city next to Panyu. The city is larger than Chang'an, but the population is very sparse, and there are barren spaces everywhere in the city, so he printed The publicized 'Impression of Guangzhou' is used to attract people from other states and counties to go”

Sun Quan snorted coldly and said, "The owl is a fool's dream. Even looting may not be able to take away the people. What's the use of relying on these low-handed means? I think he's still borrowing my hand to murder Zecheng's life."

"I'm afraid when I think about it now." Hu Ke followed Sun Quan's words.

Sun Quan frowned, "I've already read the "Lingnan News" that Zecheng said, and the owl loves to use this kind of method, and it's the same with me and Cao Cao. After thinking about it, it's really hateful. This person treats me Jiangdong With such hatred, we must find a way to grasp the movement of Jiaozhou, if we don’t know, can you teach me a clever strategy?”

"Of course." Hu Ke replied confidently.
