The Three Kingdoms

He really didn't have any other thoughts, but simply felt that the court could no longer count on it, and Sheng Xian was not the hero who could suppress Jiangdong. In this chaotic world, if Sun Jian came to preside over Jiangdong, at least Jiangdong could be stabilized. It's not like now, it's a mess, and I'm afraid of being robbed by bandits even when I go out.

"Okay, please let me calm down, let me think about this matter again!" Sheng Xian knew that Sun Jian's approach was to be courteous before fighting, and now he was thinking about Sun Jian's attitude towards him.

It was not that he was reluctant to part with the post of sheriff, but he was a justifiable sheriff after all, and if Sun Jian got the sheriff, in order to cut off future troubles, it was not impossible for him to slash himself with a knife.

[Chapter 46 Each plan]

The vanguard of the Jiangdong army, thousands of elite cavalry, approached the city. Although they did not attack the city, they rode their horses around the city every day.

Three days later, Sun Jian personally led the army to arrive outside the city of Wu County. Tens of thousands of troops camped for several miles, with banners covering the sky, staring at the county seat, and even more domineering. High-ranking officials, gentry families, or ordinary people all couldn't sit still at this time, and became flustered.

In the west of the city, in the Gu family's mansion, in an elegant study in the depths.

"Hey! This tiger is going back to the mountain." Gu Hong, the head of the Gu family, is about fifty years old. His temples are a little gray, but he is full of energy. Hearing the sound of horseshoes outside the county, his expression is slightly dignified.

"Uncle, the Jiangdong army used Wu County to go back and forth to Fuchun. I am afraid that Wu County has borrowed money and never repaid it. Sun Jian played it really beautifully." A thin young man next to Gu Hong is the most outstanding talent of the Gu family. The prime minister of Eastern Wu, Gu Yong, slightly raised the corners of his mouth, and said: "This is obviously a false way to attack Guo. Whether Sheng Xian gives way or not, this battle will have to be fought."

"Yuan Tan, this time you have misread something." Gu Hong squinted his deep eyes and said softly.

"Oh! Uncle, what do you mean?" Gu Yong was slightly taken aback. He was the most outstanding young man in the younger generation of the Gu family, and he was favored by Gu Hong. Dantus long...

"This battle can't be fought, maybe Sun Jian didn't even think about 'cutting down' at all, he just made this momentum to subdue Sheng Xian." Gu Hong stood up, pushed open the window, a light snow came out, he asked lightly He said, "Do you know what Sun Jian lacks most now?"

"Name? A legitimate name for staying in Jiangdong." Gu Yong's eyes lit up, and said: "As the saying goes, if the name is not correct, the words will not go well. He must have a name that can intimidate the whole Jiangdong."

"Yes!" Gu Hong looked at him, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "When he was in the Kanto Alliance, he obviously let the Yuan brothers set up a position, and he didn't get any position, so if he is smart enough , He will not send a single soldier until he gets this name."

"Uncle, what do you think of this fierce tiger?" Gu Yong asked suddenly.

"When the tiger comes back to the mountain, it will naturally roar into the forest. It is extremely embarrassing. It will be a matter of time before Sun Wentai enters Wu County. This man has both ability and integrity, and he has the appearance of a hero. Moreover, this trip to crusade against Dong Zhuo, He also earned enough political capital, Dong Zhuo took the emperor to the west, and the world is already in chaos. At this time, he led the most elite Jiangdong soldiers and horses back to Jiangdong, and I am afraid that the entire Jiangdong will be unstoppable!"

Gu Hong stroked his long beard, with a dignified expression and deep eyes, and said softly: "Sheng Xian will surrender sooner or later. As for Xu Gong, he is just a clown, not a good person, and Chen Wen, the governor of Yangzhou, can't stop him. As for the Zhou family brothers occupying Jiujiang Danyang, they have some ability, but they are still not enough to face the fierce tiger, Guo Yi in Kuaiji is not good, and Lukang in Lujiang is not good either."

"Forget about the others. They don't have a deep foundation in Jiangdong. It's a fact that they can't win against the Jiangdong tigers. But Uncle Lu Kang is in Lujiang County and has the power of Jiangdong's Lu family to help him. He should support him!" Gu Yong His eyes lit up and he asked.

The Gu and Lu families are both the bosses of the gentry in Wu County. They usually support each other, and there is also a marriage relationship. The relationship between the two families is good.

"Brother Ji Ning is good at everything. He has means and a city. However, in troubled times, he lacks a relative toughness. He is an old fox, but he is not the opponent of a tiger like Sun Jian." Gu Hong shook his head and sighed. the way.

"Uncle, what about our Gu family's attitude?" Gu Yong was a little silent when he heard this, and asked softly.

"Our attitude?" Gu Hong raised his head, smiled slightly, a gleam flashed in his deep eyes, and said confidently: "Our attitude is to let nature take its course. Whoever dominates Jiangdong cannot avoid us. It's still our god."

The Jiangdong gentry have controlled Jiangdong's lifeline for hundreds of years. Even in troubled times, this hurdle cannot be avoided. Therefore, Gu Hong is very confident that no matter who dominates Jiangdong, they are all winners.

"Sun Jian is not an ordinary person." Gu Yong felt a little uneasy when he heard this, but he was not as confident as Gu Hong.

The reason why the tiger is so fierce is that its eyes can't hold the sand. If Sun Jian presides over Jiangdong, there may be some troubles for the Jiangdong noble family in the future.

……

At this time, in the other corner of the county, the Lu family mansion, the patriarch of the Lu family, the grandfather of the future governor of the Eastern Wu, Lu Xun, an old man in his seventies, was also thinking about this issue.

As a big family in Jiangdong, the Lu family is now flourishing compared to the Gu family who has been somewhat quiet these years. His younger brother Lu Kang controls the entire Lujiang River, and his son Lu Jun has a hand in Jiujiang, serving as the captain of Jiujiang.

"Jiangdong tiger!" Lu Yu wore a long robe, leaning on a dragon-headed crutch in his hand, standing in front of the door with a hunchbacked old body, sighed, and looked at the sky outside the window helplessly.

Sun Jian is a fierce tiger. Now that the tiger returns to the mountain, it will surely sweep away the invincible. No one can ignore the changes brought about. His return will change the sky in Jiangdong.

"The troubled times are about to start, and Jiangdong is in chaos. It's a pity that I don't have a hero in my Lu family!"

The old man sighed with some pity. The Lu family has a profound heritage and can occupy half of Jiangdong. It is a pity that the Lu family does not have a hero who can compete for the world. A snake can't do without a head. No matter how big the family is, there is no leader. It's just a plate of loose sand, unable to stand firm in troubled times.

"Jiangdong's future, let nature take its course!" the old man said helplessly.

……

The Sheriff's Mansion was in chaos.

Xu Gong and Gao Dai had a main battle, a main peace, and they were in a close fight. Sheng Xian's character was originally lacking in decisiveness, and he was still swaying from side to side. He didn't have the guts to rely on those county soldiers.

"Kong Wen, you can't go on like this. Tens of thousands of troops are blocking the city gate, and the people in the whole city are in panic. This matter will be resolved sooner or later. Tomorrow morning, you represent me and go out of the city gate to meet this Sun Wentai. , Probe into his mind!"

In the end, Sheng Xian thought over and over again, he could only grit his teeth, and said softly to Gao Dai helplessly.

In the county guard's mansion, Gao Dai has always been the person he trusts the most, and he is also the one who strongly supports him to stabilize Wu County.

These days, the sound of horseshoes outside the city has become a nightmare for the people in the city, and it has also become a knot in his prosperous constitution. Jiangdong's army is strong and unstoppable by ordinary people. Once he attacks the city, he will undoubtedly lose.

"No!" Gao Dai knew that Sheng Xian had let go, and was slightly pleased. He didn't want a war to happen in Wu County, which had always been peaceful, and of course, he didn't want Sheng Xian to have an accident either.

"My lord, you must not!" Xu Gong objected hastily, saying: "Sun Jian came here because of his ambition, how can he give up easily, are you not afraid that he will take your position and your life?"

"Captain Xu, if we don't talk about it, are you going to fight General Polu? Or do you think the county soldiers under your command can withstand the Sun family's tens of thousands of Jiangdong elite soldiers?" Sheng Xian knew that Xu Gong was an ambitious man. Peeping at his position, he said in a cold voice: "You don't think about the people in the city, you'd better think about yourself. When you fight together, blood will flow like a river. This county guard doesn't want people in Wu County to bleed." die."

"But?" Xu Gong's face was ferocious, but he was still a little unwilling.

"Okay, Captain Xu, let's stop here, you can do it yourself, Kong Wen, you go, you can hint to Sun Jian that I, Sheng Xian, don't care about this position." Sheng Xian has made up his mind, once Sun Jian nods, let It's not that he's afraid of death, it's just that he doesn't want to make unnecessary sacrifices. It's a troubled time, and he knows himself. Even if Sun Jian doesn't come, he won't be able to secure his position as prefect of Wujun.

Xu Gong could only snort coldly in the end, and then left the sheriff's mansion angrily with a brain full of anger.

"No, I can't just sit and wait like this, Sun Wentai will never let a certain family go!" Xu Gong returned home directly, and after sitting down, his face was gloomy, and he was a little worried when he thought of Sun Jian entering the city.

Now that he has repeatedly prevented the Jiangdong Army from returning to Wu County, he has already become enemies with Sun Jian. Once Sun Jian is firmly established in Wu County, I am afraid that he will be the first to settle accounts with him.

"Come on!" Xu Gong's eyes flashed a trace of cruelty, and he shouted.

"Master Captain!" Several county soldiers walked in.

"Let Huang Bingcao and Liu Bingcao come to see a certain family immediately!" Xu Gong began to gather his confidants to find a way out, Sheng Xian let go, Sun Jian's general trend of entering the city was set, he could no longer just sit here and wait for death.

……

"Your Excellency, it's not good. An hour ago, Captain Xu led three thousand soldiers and left Wu County from the south gate." In the evening, a soldier suddenly came to report.

Sheng Xian was taken aback for a moment, then sighed at last, and said, "Everyone has his own ambition, let him go!"

……

creak creak!

On the fifth day of the Jiangdong army's siege, the north city gate, which had been tightly closed, was in fear of gate uncle Wang Fu. Dozens of soldiers worked together to pull up the city gate's heavy gate with a winch. It's all cold sweat.

[Chapter 47 Sun Jian enters Wu County]

The next day, the weather improved a bit, the sun came out, and the warm sunlight refracted a thin layer of small snowflakes on the ground.

Gao Dai went out of the city to talk on behalf of Sheng Xian, and he entered Jiangdong Daying smoothly, but he didn't see Sun Jian, first Wu Jing and Cheng Pu received him very politely.
