The Three Kingdoms

Cavalry is the most elite unit in this era.

"Xiao Zhongmou?" A trace of interest flickered across Wu Jing's eyes. Sun Quan was grown up by him, but after going to the battlefield once, he became a little unfamiliar.

The difference between the Sun Quan that Sun Ce spoke of and the little Sun Quan he usually knew was not so big. He believed that a young man with such a vigor and pride would not exaggerate his words.

"Bo Fu, when will the elder brother return?" Wu Jing asked after a moment of silence.

"Withdrawing troops this time is not that simple. This time we not only offended Yuan Shu, but also Yuan Shao. Father was afraid that the two brothers of the Yuan family would attack and intercept him, so the marching speed was not fast. Even if we got tens of thousands of horses, it would take more than ten thousand horses. It takes [-] days to return to Jiangdong." Sun Ce thought for a while before saying.

"Since this is the case, Bo Fu, let's do something before your father returns. You will come forward and sort out the powerful people in Qu'a County. There must be many people who oppose the elder brother. Let's fight a group and pull it out." A batch." Wu Jing said with a flash of light in his eyes.

There are many powerful families in Qu'e County, but their strength is not strong, but one thing is very important, the powerful families of Jiangdong family can easily form a group.

His move was to test the reaction of the Jiangdong gentry before Sun Jian's army returned.

Wu Jing knew that when Sun Jian returned to Jiangdong, he would be able to take Jiangdong with his force, so he has already started to pave the way for Sun Jian. Jiangdong is a place where there are many noble families, and [-]% of the land and population are under the control of powerful families. If Sun Jian wants to occupy Jiangdong, he must confront these aristocratic families.

"Uncle, what should Ce do?" Sun Ce's eyes lit up, and he was a little moved. He wanted to prove himself to Sun Jian in a hurry, to prove that he could not only fight on the battlefield, but also manage the place, and his temperament was no worse than that of Sun Quan.

It's not because of fighting for power and profit, but because of a young heart, a young heart that refuses to admit defeat.

"There are quite a few local tyrants in Qu'e, among which are the three major tyrants, the Xu family, the Chen family, and the Gu family. This Gu family is a branch of the Gu family in Wu County, so we must handle it carefully."

Wu Jing himself once served as the county magistrate of Qu'e, and he understands the situation in Qu'e better than ordinary people.

"The Gu family? The Gu family, one of the four representative families in the Jiangdong gentry!" After all, Sun Ce grew up in Jiangdong. He has been in contact with the Jiangdong gentry since he was a child, and has always been very unhappy with these gentry families.

In the original history, when Sun Ce pacified Jiangdong, he used to kill these aristocratic families. It was because he was too strong against these aristocratic families that he was assassinated later, otherwise he would be considered arrogant. With his martial arts, how could two or three assassins casually kill him.

"Uncle, which family shall we kill?" Sun Ce asked with a cold gleam in his eyes.

"The Xu family."

Wu Jing said coldly: "The Xu family is the family of Xu Gong, the captain of Wu County. I have already learned about it. Xu Gong has been jumping up and down in Wu County these days, instigating Sheng Xian, and contacting many Jiangdong nobles. , if we want to block the elder brother's part from the door, we will beat him."

"Okay, let's kill the Xu family!" The corners of Sun Ce's lips turned up, flashing a trace of killing intent.

Han Deng and Mo Cong surrendered, Wu Jing was there to assist, Qu'a was firmly held by Sun Ce, it was not difficult to destroy a small local wealthy family.

On the third night of Sun Ce's garrison in Qu'a, three hundred children from the local powerful Xu's family suddenly attacked the Jiangdong barracks at night, but Sun Ce had already taken precautions, and surrounded and killed them all.

Sun Ce's barracks was attacked, and Han Deng, who was still serving as the county magistrate of Quyang, was furious. He ordered the county captain Mo Cong to lead a thousand county soldiers to kill 180 members of the Xu family. The Xu family, one of the three powerful families in Qu'a, was removed from the list .

The night was dim and gloomy. On the east side of Qu'e County, the original Xu family's mansion was now a river of blood and a mountain of corpses. It was a mess.

"Zihao, now you understand what an egg can't touch a rock!" The battle in the mansion is over, the Xu family has no survivors, and countless soldiers are dealing with the aftermath. At the door of the mansion, he said meaningfully to Mo Cong beside him.

There are only three hundred children from Xu's family, how dare they attack thousands of cavalry of the Jiangdong Army?He was the first to say that he didn't believe it, but now it's a fact that the Xu family was eliminated, and he still used his hands. Needless to say, it must be his former boss, Wu Jing.

However, with such boldness, it is not easy for a wealthy family in a place to be wiped out.

"The eldest son just wants to frighten us, why kill him all over the family, isn't this a bit overbearing?"

Seeing the Xu family being killed, Mo Cong looked a little ugly, said.

"In troubled times, it is necessary to kill to suppress the world. Do you think this is killing for us to see? This is for all the Jiangdong gentry, as well as Xu Gong, the captain of Wu County. The eldest son is the hero of the young hero. posture."

Han Deng said coldly: "Zihao, if you still can't change your mentality, leave Jiangdong quickly. I don't want to see you kill yourself one day."

Mo Cong clenched his fists tightly, his veins were exposed, and his face was a little ferocious. He stared at the blood stains inside the Xu family mansion, and finally sighed, as if he was relieved, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Xian Zun, for your guidance. The eldest son confesses frankly and apologizes."

"It's good if you think so." Han Deng has now followed Sun Jian with all his heart. He knows that Mo Cong is capable no matter whether he manages the place or leads the troops. He doesn't want to see Mo Cong seek his own death.

……

The next day, in the county government hall, the young Sun Ce sat majestically in the center, Wu Jing sat on his right hand, Han Deng, Mo Cong, and many officials from Qu'e County.

The official positions in the Eastern Han Dynasty surpassed the large counties with more than [-] households, to one county magistrate, one county magistrate, who controlled civil affairs, documents, and two county lieutenants, who controlled public security.

Qu'a is a large county with more than [-] households, mainly Han Deng and Mo Cong, and the remaining county magistrate and magistrate are dominated by two people.

"Han Xianzun, Mo Xianwei, thank you for your cooperation this time." Sun Ce was in high spirits. After drinking a few glasses of wine, he stared at the two with a meaningful light in his eyes, and cupped his hands and said.

It has to be said that these two are smart people who understand current affairs. If it weren't for the cooperation of the two, Sun Ce might be charged with some crimes in Qu'a's scene.

The Xu family was destroyed, and the shock was huge. Now most of the tyrants in Qu'a have surrendered, and the Chen family has completely surrendered to the Sun family. Only the Gu family is sitting and watching, and they should still be waiting for the instructions of the Wu County family.

"My lord, you are being polite. The thief actually dared to commit murder in Qu'a. We should do this." The two looked at the Langlang boy in the hall, with unnatural awe in their eyes, smiling, and cupped their hands and said.

"Hahaha... well said." Sun Ce laughed vigorously.

"Report!"

"Come in!" Sun Ce said with a startled expression.

At this time, a Jiangdong soldier came in from outside the hall, handed a letter to Sun Ce, and said, "Eldest Young Master, this is a letter that someone named you by name, but someone came and said, this is a letter from Second Young Master. "

"What, second brother's letter?"

In a hurry, Sun Ce immediately took the envelope, opened it, and saw that his handsome face suddenly changed, a little ferocious, and a strong murderous aura condensed on his body, filling the hall.

"Thief, how dare you do that?" He slapped his palm on the desk, and the whole desk shattered with a few clicks.

When everyone saw it, they were horrified, as if they felt a cold current flowing, and the temperature above the lobby seemed to have dropped by more than ten degrees.

[Text Chapter 35 Jiujiang Thief]

The weather in early winter is cold and windy.

In the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, near Moling County, Danyang County, a hidden water village is built on a branch of the Yangtze River, relying on a small island, with more than a dozen wooden boats parked on the river. This place is hidden, surrounded by nine rivers. There are eighteen turns, and the water is too fast, making it difficult for others to reach.

In the water village, in a wooden house above the river, a small brazier was burning. The house was not very cold. Sun Quan was wrapped in a brocade robe, with long hair in a bun and a jade belt around his waist. He sat peacefully in front of a hulking young man.

Although he was in the den of thieves, his expression was extremely calm, without any shock or agitation, and it was impossible to see the look of fear on his face.

"Old Zhou, what's wrong with the people around me?" Little Sun Quan raised his head, looked at the young man with amber eyes, stretched casually, and asked lazily: "The most beautiful lady is my future wife, Don't be impulsive, what kind of Mrs. Yazhai, or I will crucify you for the rest of your life."

"Young Master Quan, you should worry about yourself. If within three days, your elder brother dares not bring money and come alone, I will definitely throw you into the Yangtze River to feed the fish." Zhou Tai raised his forehead. A string of black lines crossed, his expression was a little cold, he said.

Not many goods were robbed this trip, but the little ancestor robbed one. With Sun Quan's identity, he understood that this little guy could not be beaten or killed. After all, Sun Jian had tens of thousands of troops under his command, so he was not easy to mess with.

However, letting Sun Quan go like this would damage his reputation as a thief in Jiujiang, so he didn't want to, so he came up with the idea of ​​kidnapping, don't kill him, use him to extort a sum of wealth from Sun Jian.

So after he inquired about Sun Ce's troops in Qu'a, he asked Sun Quan to send a letter to Sun Ce.

"Old Zhou, you won't kill me!" Sun Quan smiled.

"Mr. Quan, you seem to be very confident?" Zhou Tai stared at him with a vicious expression, and said in a cold voice: "Although I dare not provoke Sun Polu, you are not afraid that I will lose my mind in a fit of anger. , really killed you? After all, I am a thief."
