The Three Kingdoms: I can't be a counselor, so I have to divide the world into four parts

Spending money is always the most direct and effective way to win people's hearts.

Especially for a military group like Tang Jian, which is a mercenary group.

If you only paint a rosy picture and talk about the future to your soldiers, but keep silent when your subordinates ask you what you are going to cook today.

Then it is difficult to maintain such a business.

But there are exceptions.

People like Liu Bei don't need to mention money.

Because many people come to him to achieve class leap.

And most of these people are from wealthy families.

Bringing millions of dollars, his sister, and a carriage.

As long as Liu Bei stabilizes his image as a relative of the Han Dynasty, he can get it for free.

Since Sun Quan heard that Tang Jian had more than 10,000 troops, he was also ready to get it for free.

So he summoned Gan Ning for questioning.

Gan Ning originally camped in Xiakou, but Cao Cao easily took Jingzhou and led a million troops to the south.

So he had to give up Xiakou and return to Dongwu.

Before Sun Quan sent the letter to him, he came back.

So Sun Quan asked him about Tang Jian's situation in person.

"Recently, General Fu Ying recommended a man to me, named Tang Jian."

"It is said that this man is quite talented. He actually gathered more than 10,000 soldiers in just one month."

"I heard that General Gan has a friendship with Tang Jian. Please tell me about Tang Jian's talent."

After hearing this, Gan Ning immediately replied: "My lord, in my opinion, Tang Jianming is a man of great talent."

After hearing this, Sun Quan was surprised:

"I would like to hear more about it."

Gan Ning continued:

"At that time, when I met Tang Jianming in Xiakou, he told me that Cao Cao in the north was holding the emperor hostage to command the princes, and he had the advantage of time."

"My lord is in Jiangdong, with the natural barrier of the Yangtze River, and he has the advantage of location."

"And Liu Bei is famous for his benevolence and righteousness, and he has the support of people."

Sun Quan was shocked just by hearing this!

He was seen stroking his beard and repeating word by word:

"The right time...the right place..."

"The right people?"

Then, a gleam of light shot out from his eyes!

"General, tell me quickly, what else did he say?"

Gan Ning said: "That night, I had a long talk with Jianming."

"I asked him about the general situation in the world."

"Tang Jianming said that Liu Cong would surrender to Cao, and Cao Cao would definitely go south to invade Dongwu."

"Now it seems that everything is as he expected."

After listening, Sun Quan was immediately excited!

"I didn't expect there would be such a strange person in the world!"

"Then, did the general ask for me, if Cao Cao crossed the south, how should I deal with it?"

Gan Ning said: "My lord, I did ask."

Sun Quan hurriedly asked: "What did he say?"

Gan Ning said: "Jianming once said that if we ally with Liu to fight against Cao, Cao Cao will definitely be defeated, and then the three-way balance of power will be formed."

After listening, Sun Quan fell into deep thought.

"Ally with Liu to fight Cao..."

"This Liu, is it Liu Bei? Or Liu Qi? Or Liu Zhang of Yizhou?"

"Then...did he ever say that when he allied with Liu to fight Cao, which one of the three Lius was he allied with? Or all three Lius?"

Gan Ning said: "I asked the same question at that time, but Jianming just said that the lord would know it by then."

Just then, an official came in to report:

"Lord, Lord Lu Su has sent a letter."

Sun Quan thought without hesitation: "What does the letter say?"

After reading it, the official relayed:

"My lord, Lord Lu Su said that he has arrived in Jiangxia and met Liu Xuande."

"At present, Liu Xuande has been persuaded, and the two families have joined forces to fight Cao."

"And Zhuge Kongming, who has taken Liu Bei's military, has left Jiangxia and is preparing to return to Jianye."

After listening, Sun Quan waved his hand to let the official go out.

Then he stood up excitedly and walked back and forth in the hall:

"What a strange man! What a strange man!"

"He can calculate to such an extent!"

"This is a man sent by God to help me!"

Then, he walked to Gan Ning excitedly and said:

"Xingba, I order you to be a special envoy, take my order, rush to Dantu overnight, and recruit Tang Jian for me!"

After hearing this, Gan Ning stood up and said:

"My lord, I once persuaded Jianming to join my lord, but he refused."

"Now for my lord's plan, I am willing to go again to recruit Jianming."

Sun Quan patted Gan Ning's shoulder happily and said:

"Everything is entrusted to the general."

Gan Ning received the order, left the house overnight, got a good horse, rode it, took his followers, and went to Dantu.

…………

"Oh, it feels so good."

"Xiaocao, you are really clever."

Tang Jian lay on the chair and let Lu Xiaocao help him massage the muscles of his shoulders and neck.

These days, everything in the Corps is on the right track.

And they are also stepping up their efforts to recruit soldiers and trainPractice.

Tang Jian was also very busy, often working all night.

He was so busy that he had frozen shoulder and cervical spondylosis.

It just so happened that Lu Xiaocao, the girl, was coming to take care of him again, and he couldn't persuade her to go back.

Tang Jian simply taught her some grasping techniques and asked her to massage him to relieve the pain in his shoulders and neck.

Lu Xiaocao was also very smart and understood immediately.

The strength of her hands was also appropriate, and she could also find the acupuncture points Tang Jian mentioned.

It made Tang Jian feel very comfortable.

"Sir, is it here?"

Lu Xiaocao asked while kneading hard.

Tang Jian: "Yes, yes, it's here! Hiss——"

"Hmm!"

A stiff cough came.

Tang Jian quickly opened his eyes and looked carefully.

He saw that Lu Kuang had already come to the meeting room.

Tang Jian felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward.

He was about to explain.

Unexpectedly, when Lu Xiaocao heard Lu Kuang's voice, she began to scold him:

"Brother, as an instructor, you have no respect for your superiors and come in without permission. How can that be justified?"

Lu Kuang was instantly speechless and did not dare to confront his sister.

He just said, "Sir, there is a general outside who threatened that you should go out to meet him."

Tang Jian quickly patted Lu Xiaocao's hand and said, "Xiaocao, you go down first. I will go out with your brother."

Lu Xiaocao nodded, stood up and went out through the back door.

In order to ease the atmosphere, Tang Jian asked Lu Kuang:

"Zi Ling, you seem a little afraid of your sister?"

Lu Kuang listened, nodded, and said:

"Back then, I was determined to make achievements and joined the army resolutely."

"Later, my mother was seriously ill, and I was not at home. Xiaocao often lit pine resin as a lamp at night to sew clothes and exchange money for her mother's treatment."

"Her eyes were blinded at that time."

When Lu Kuang said this, Tang Jian already understood.

The reason why Lu Kuang was afraid of Lu Xiaocao was because of guilt.

Tang Jian patted Lu Kuang on the shoulder and said:

"Zi Ling, don't worry, I will find the best doctor to help Xiaocao treat her eyes in the future."

Lu Kuang reluctantly nodded and left the meeting room with Tang Jian.

The two walked through the training ground, and Tang Jian asked who was looking for him as he walked?

Lu Kuang replied: "That person said that when you see him, you will know. He seems to be quite familiar with you from his words."

"Quite familiar?"

Tang Jian was a little puzzled:

I don't seem to have any acquaintances in Jiangdong.

Could it be that the incident with Xiao Qiao was exposed?

Did Zhou Yu come to visit in person?
