The Reincarnation of Lu Bu at the End of the Han Dynasty

Chapter 699 The Sun Brothers
In fact, it's not the two of them's fault. Since childhood, these mischievous guys are not afraid of anyone, but Gao Shun is the only one.

Maybe it's because of Gao Shun's face that he always keeps a straight face and doesn't say a word or a smile. These little fellows in the Young Commander's Army are all afraid of him. When they see him from a distance, they run away quickly.

Now that I have grown up a lot, I feel more and more afraid.

"Don't mention kissing if you're afraid!"

At some point, a heroic girl in military uniform came over, her almond eyes slightly staring.These guys actually speak ill of her father behind her back, how can she, a daughter, bear it?
"I didn't say anything!"

Cao Jun was the first to raise his hand, and quickly passed the blame to the others: "It's what they said, it has nothing to do with me!"

"It has nothing to do with me! It's all them!"

Hua Bao followed suit, and then winked: The wind is tight, shit!

All the teenagers patted the dirt off their buttocks one after another, and disappeared in a flash, leaving only Ma Chao alone.

"These guys are really not loyal enough!"

Ma Chao smiled helplessly, got up and took off his cloak, and put it on Gao Yang's shoulders, his eyes were full of tenderness: "Xin Ran, you haven't recovered from typhoid fever, why are you here? Go back to the camp and rest."

Seeing Ma Chao's concern, Gao Yang felt warmed up, "I just heard your father's order that we return to Chang'an with the envoys tomorrow, so I came here to inform you and let you prepare."

Ma Chao nodded slightly and said he knew.

Jiangdong, Wu County.

In the spacious Governor's Mansion, Sun Ce was sitting in the lobby. There were several other people in the hall, one was his younger brother Sun Quan, the other was his sworn brother Zhou Yu, and the other was Zhang Zhao, the governor of the county he had invited.

Since Sun Ce led the army last summer, he went all the way to Jiangdong and fought several fierce battles with Yan Baihu in Wujun.

Later, because of Yan Baihu's carelessness, he misunderstood Zhou Yu's strategy, resulting in the defeat of the whole army, and was besieged by Sun Ce in Wucheng.As a last resort, Yan Baihu could only send his younger brother Yan Yu to ask Sun Ce for peace, but Sun Ce refused, so Yan Yu made a surprise attack during the meeting, but was killed by Sun Ce instead.

Knowing this, Yan Baihu knew that he couldn't resist, and at the end of his life, he went to Yuhang to join Xu Zhao, and his whereabouts were unknown.

After defeating Yan Baihu, Sun Ce's prestige in Jiangdong increased greatly, and because the Sun family had been kind to Jiangdong people in the past, people kept coming to vote along the way.Sun Ce's troops grew accordingly, and when they arrived at Liyang, the residence of his uncle Wu Jing, there were nearly [-] soldiers and horses.

After taking down Wujun, Sun Ce pointed the finger at Kuaiji.

Wang Lang, the governor of Kuaiji County, was a student of the old Taiwei Yang Ci.

Well, this person is the top leader in internal affairs, marching and fighting, and it's all on paper.

Cao Yu, Kuaiji Gong, said that Sun Ce was powerful, and advised Wang Lang to avoid the edge for the time being.

Wang Lang refused to listen, and sent troops to stop Sun Ce in Guling.

Sun Ce led the army to attack many times, but all failed. Uncle Sun Jing offered a plan, suggesting to attack from east to west, and attack from Chadu to attack by surprise.

Sun Ce followed suit.

So, on a dark and stormy night, Sun Ce ordered people to light torches everywhere to confuse and restrain the frontal enemies, and then dispatched soldiers and horses to attack quietly from Chadu.

Shocked, Wang Lang sent his general Zhou Xin to lead his troops to fight in a hurry, but was beheaded by Sun Ce and drove straight in.

After the defeat, Wang Lang had no choice but to flee for his life, and fled to Dongye by boat with Yu Fan. Sun Ce took advantage of the victory to pursue and captured Wang Lang and Yu Fan alive.

Therefore, Kuaiji was pacified.

After Kuaiji was pacified, Sun Ce had the land of two counties. He wrote to his good brother Zhou Yu to tell the news.

At that time, Zhou Yu's uncle, Zhou Shang, was the prefect of Danyang. Knowing that Sun Ce was going to do a great job, Zhou Yu successfully persuaded his uncle to give up Danyang.

So, Sun Ce took Danyang again without any effort.

So far, half of the six Jiangdong counties are in hand.

As for the other half, it was in the hands of Liu Yao, the governor of Yangzhou, and Yuan Shu, the later general.

During this period, Yuan Shu sent envoys to visit many times, probably saying that he remembered the old feelings and wanted Sun Ce to return to his banner.

Sun Ce couldn't understand what kind of person Yuan Shu was.Rather than thinking about old feelings, it might be better to say that he took a fancy to the three Jiangdong counties in his hands, and Yuan Shu wanted to bring the white wolf under his command empty-handed.

How can there be such a cheap thing in the world!

Sun Ce laughed in his heart. At the beginning, he was still in the mood to scold him.Later, it became more frequent, and Sun Ce didn't even bother to scold, so he simply closed the door and disappeared.

Think back in those days, after the death of his father Sun Jian, Sun Ce ran to Yuan Shu to avenge his father in hemp and filial piety.

But what about Yuan Shu?Push three and block four.

Later when he went to the north, Yuan Shu accidentally fell into an ambush, and his subordinates slandered that it was Sun Ce's internal response, but Yuan Shu believed it.

At that time, Sun Ce thought it was a mess.

Now he is licking his face and saying that he misunderstood the villain's words, why did he go so early!

Sun Ce put this matter behind him. He called Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao over today just to discuss it. What should we do next?
The remaining three counties in Jiangdong, to fight or not to fight?
"My lord is worried that once you take down the six counties in Jiangdong, someone will be jealous of your credit and intentionally slander Da Sima maliciously?" Zhang Zhao stroked the beard on his chin and said wisely.

Sun Ce nodded. Although he acted recklessly, he also knew a lot about the world, especially after what happened to Yuan Shu.

There are countless examples in history where three people become tigers.

"Indeed, if a subject is too strong, it will easily arouse the master's taboo." After thinking about it, Zhou Yu also agreed.

"Is there any way?" Sun Ce asked.

There was silence in the hall for a while, and Zhou Yu didn't want to mention it, so Zhang Zhao could only say, "There is a way, it just depends on whether the lord is willing to use it or not."

"tell me the story."

"The lord can choose the children of the clan, send them to Chang'an in person, take them as hostages, and express their loyalty to Da Sima in person. In this way, Da Sima will definitely entrust the lord with power, and the lord can also flex his muscles in Jiangdong and establish merit."

Zhang Zhao said slowly, this is the simplest and most direct way to gain Lu Bu's trust.

Sun Ce was silent.

At this moment, Sun Quan, the second younger brother in the hall, said, "Brother Ce, Brother Yu thinks that it is better to take advantage of the morale and directly take over the remaining three counties and establish a foundation in Jiangdong. This place is far away from the Central Plains, and there are princes such as Cao Cao and Tao Qian blocking the way. Even if Da Sima doesn't believe you and wants to deal with us, it's beyond his reach."

Hearing these words, Zhang Zhao turned his head to look, with approval in his eyes.

Compared with the protagonist's passion and enthusiasm, the second son has a long-term vision and is a person with ideas.

Hearing this, Sun Ce gave his younger brother a hard look, and said sullenly, "Brother Quan, don't say such things in the future!"

"Why doesn't brother want to?" Sun Quan couldn't figure it out, this was clearly a great opportunity.

"When my father passed away, you were not around, so I don't understand. I remember when I was working under Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu refused to use him, and was always on guard against me. Later, Da Sima Huiyan treated me as a national scholar, and for my brother's life, Repay it with your life!"

This is Sun Ce's creed.
