Chapter 10 Give Me a Thousand Jiangdong Soldiers
Happy days are always the fastest to live!
Sun Ce's "injury" was finally completely healed. The Five Animal Show gradually became more proficient. There was no reason to delay.
So everyone decided! Set out! Go back to Shouchun and meet the famous highway old man. Fortunately, it's just a highway. If it's called a railway, isn't it a natural boss?
Hua Tuo and Hua Wei were escorted to Jiangdu by Cheng Pu. They met Sun Ce’s mother, Mrs. Wu, and then came back to meet Sun Ce after discussing the marriage.
Looking at Hua Tuo's confident look, it seems that this old man really has the ultimate skill to deal with Sun Ce's mother. I don't know what trick it would be.
Sun Ce couldn't help but feel curious. When he asked Hua Tuo, he said he kept it secret from you, a kid.
After crossing the Yangtze River, I bid farewell to each other and go my separate ways.
Five days later, after a rapid journey, Sun Ce and others finally returned to Shouchun. This was a very important big city in the late Han Dynasty.
It has to be said that the cooperation between Sun Jian and Yuan Shu was perfect and very strategic. Before his father entered Luoyang, he killed Jingzhou governor Wang Rui and Nanyang prefect Zhang Zi along the way, not only helped Yuan Shu to occupy the northernmost Nanyang County of Jingzhou, but also almost all Jingzhou behind him was included in the sphere of influence.
According to the "Book of the Later Han Dynasty", Nanyang has 37 cities and 500,000 households, with a total population of more than 2.4 million. Both agriculture, handicrafts and commerce are very developed. It is the largest county in the Eastern Han Dynasty. There are also 37 cities in Runan next to Nanyang County, with 400,000 households and 2.1 million people, making it the second largest county after Nanyang.
Yuan Shu himself occupied Nanyang, and Runan was the hometown of the Yuan clan, and undoubtedly became Yuan Shu's strong backing. Shortly after his father went north, Liu Biao, the new governor of Jingzhou, submitted a letter to the emperor, allowing Yuan Shu to be the prefect of Nanyang as a general in his rightful position. Yuan Shu also took the opportunity to submit letter to let his father be the governor of Yuzhou.
So Sun Ce and others saw this scene: Yuan Shu, who had a prominent family background, was able to be the time in this chaotic world; he was happy to be the leader of his father, and he was able to be harmonious; he also crossed the three states of Jing, Yu and Yang, and was able to be the best place. At this time, Yuan Shu had already had the potential to compete with the world. Because of this, when other princes were unfavorable in the war, his father was able to force Dong Zhuo away and march into Luoyang with the support of Yuan Shu.
At this time, the Eastern Han Dynasty was on the verge of collapse. There was only an empty shell left, waiting for the strong wind that finally blew it down.
Sun Ce stood in front of the city gate and sighed secretly: "Fat meat! Really rich, big fat meat. But after being fed by Yuan Shu, a prodigal son, here for several years, this piece of fat meat was completely drained when Yuan Shu died. In addition, the drought and famine were frozen, and the people were hungry, and the people in the river and Huai were all eaten. People were not in trouble, and this was the real people were not in trouble!
The corruption of a ruler will cause so many sufferings to the people. It is really worth killing! Unfortunately, he is currently poor and has no ability to replace Yuan Shu. He can only watch the fertile land be ruined by this elite young man in the late Han Dynasty."
What a pity, hateful, pitiful!
Moreover, they seem to be unable to even enter the city gate. Just because they are wearing some tattered military uniforms, they are inevitably suspected and undergo a careful investigation. After Lu Fan's negotiations, the city gate guards finally agreed to let them enter the city. It's strange that in this era, there are also demands that people with dishevelled clothes are prohibited from entering!
As soon as I entered the city gate, I felt that the atmosphere was not right. The streets in the city were decorated with lights and colorful colors, and it was full of joy. It seemed like a festival.
Sun Ce thought to himself, "It should be the end of April, how many days will there be before the Dragon Boat Festival! Why is it so festive? Could it be that something happy happened in Shouchun? At the end of April 192, could it be that Dong Zhuo was killed by his adopted son Lu Bu?"
He hurriedly sent Sun He and the others to inquire with the passers-by, and it turned out to be so. Just yesterday, news from Chang'an came from Kuaima.
On April 23, the traitor Dong Zhuo, the traitor of the rebel, was conspired to be killed by Situ Wang Yun, the Minister of the Shangshu Pushe Shi Sun Rui and Dong Zhuo adopted son Lu Bu. After Dong Zhuo was killed, the civil and military officials and all soldiers in the court shouted long live! The people of Chang'an were so happy that they sang and danced in the streets and alleys to celebrate the execution of the traitor.
It is said that after Dong Zhuo died, he was stolen from the East City. The corpse guards inserted the lit twist into Dong Zhuo's belly button and lit the sky lantern. Because Dong Zhuo was fat and thick, "the light reached the dawn, and the sun was accumulated."
Looking at the excited people, Sun Ce couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. Dong Zhuo was dead, but the real troubled times were about to begin. Do these people who were celebrating know that maybe tomorrow, their property will be deprived, their families will be killed, and their homes will be destroyed. Whether it is by Yuan Shu or the chaotic army.
In a chaotic world, life is really as low as grass! His power is too small now, and every time Sun Ce can only watch these things, and he is powerless!
Sun Ce's heart was filled with anger, and he really wanted to scream to the sky. He needed strength, powerful, sweeping all the decayed power. Break this old cage and give these kind people a real peace and quiet life.
At this moment, a team of guards came over on the road ahead. It seemed to be a patrol team in the city. A general in the middle of the road was sitting on the horse, following the team lazily. When he approached, he saw that the horse was the captain Zhang Xun. He was the same name as the commander of the Braidi Army in the late Qing Dynasty. At this time, he was just a captain-level general.
But Sun Ce knew that he, who was once the commander of Yuan Shu's guard, was about to be promoted. Moreover, until he finally became a general, he would be successful in the next few years.
When Sun Ce first came to Shouchun, among the people who had a close relationship with his father back then, he and Qiao Rui were still thinking about the past relationship of old friends, and took good care of him, and were two more straightforward soldiers. They also had a good impression of Sun Ce.
Qiao Rui had heard that in the battle of Yangren, Sun Ce played for three rounds. When he saw him for the first time, he was surprised. He patted his left shoulder and said, "Okay! OK! OK! Heroes are young!"
Zhang Xun also patted Sun Ce’s right shoulder heavily and said, “Good example, a tiger father has no dog son!”
He almost blushed.
Seeing Sun Ce and his group of people in beggar costumes standing on the side of the road, Zhang Xun was about to come over to investigate. Suddenly, he saw Sun Ce and Lu Fan. He was shocked and said, "Ziheng! Bo Fu, aren't you two going to Danyang to recruit soldiers together? What's wrong with you? Why are you so embarrassed!"
Sun Ce and Lu Fan stepped forward and bowed to each other. Lu Fan replied, "Person Zhang! It's hard to describe it! On the way back, we were attacked by the bandits of Zulang in Jingxian County. They were caught off guard and almost destroyed.
Only when Bo Fu takes us and fight for a bloody path can we escape from the heaven of birth. We almost couldn't come back. Now our eldest son is about to report back to the next general."
When Zhang Xun heard this, he hurriedly said, "The General of the Later period is in the mansion, I will take you with me."
After saying that, he asked his deputy to lead the soldiers to continue patrolling the city. He turned around and walked towards the general's mansion with them.
After a while, everyone came to the magnificent General's Mansion. This is the largest and best building in Shouchun City. It is really carved beams and painted buildings, with a grand momentum.
Zhang Xun went to report and waited for a while to come out: "General, let you go in and see him."
He lowered his voice and said to Sun Ce: "The general is very happy now. If you have something to say, you can say it. And Yang Hong and the others are not here."
After saying that, he squeezed at him.
Sun Tao nodded and thanked him lightly. It seemed that Zhang Xun also heard about Yang Hong preventing Yuan Shu from returning his father's troops.
He explained Lu Fan, Sun He and others, and waited outside the mansion. Sun Ce and Zhang Xun went to see Yuan Shu and responded to the situation.
After walking into the gate, I walked around the huge screen wall in front of the door, walked through a carved corridor. After walking for a while, I arrived at the reception hall of the General's Mansion.
Yuan Shu, the actual supreme ruler of Yu and Yang states, is the one who Sun Ce has to rely on now. He is sitting high in the main seat, drinking tea leisurely slowly. I don’t know what he was thinking, but a smug smile flashed from time to time on his obviously fat round face.
Two or three waiters were on standby. Seeing Sun Ce come in, he waved his hand and said, "You guys go down first."
He turned to look at me and said, "Bofu, haven't you gone to Danyang? Why did you make it so embarrassed?"
"Uncle, I'm so hard!" Thinking of my experiences these days and the difficulties I'm going to face, Sun Ce couldn't help but feel sad. He cried to Yuan Shu with ignorance and told the tragic situation these days. Finally, he said: "I'll ask you, uncle, to be in the face of my deceased father, and help my nephew this time!"
After hearing his crying, Yuan Shu thought to himself: "Bo Fu is brave, he is brave! He is still too immature and can't stand a little blow. It seems that he is not a talented person. He is much worse than his father! Such a person can't beat him even if he gives him some troops. Yes, just do that."
Yuan Shu asked Zhang Xun: "Ziyuan (that is considered Zhang Xun's name), what do you think should be?"
Zhang Xun replied respectfully loudly, "The general is wise and powerful, and he must have made a clear decision!"
Then he leaned close to Yuan Shu's ear and whispered, "I remember that in the back camp in the north of the city, there were more than a thousand miscellaneous soldiers from the generals who managed food and grass. There were no other arrangements for the time being. We had many soldiers and a wide range of generals, and we were not short of those people, so we gave Bo Fu.
One way to attract one's heart.
Secondly, there is also an explanation for the general who defeated the enemy.
The third and most important thing is that it can let the people of the world know that the general is kind to others, not forgetting the old and promoting the backward. In this way, it is actually the wise ruler who abandons more than a thousand miscellaneous soldiers and makes three eagles in one arrow. When the heroes of the world hear it, they will surely rush to attack."
Yuan Shu was so happy that he nodded repeatedly, so he comforted me: "Bo Fu, don't be sad anymore, be that little daughter! Isn't it just five hundred new recruits! Your father's old subordinates are not many of them here, they die and they are scattered.
Most of the remaining ones are your cousin Sun Ben and took Zhou Ang to attack Jiujiang. Now he has followed him to Danyang and your uncle Wu Jing. I have about a thousand veterans here. It’s still early now. Let Zhang Xun take you to the barracks with my handwriting, so you can take them all back! In this way, I can give an explanation to the brothers in Wentai. Okay, you can go earlier!"
Sun Ce was surprised, but he didn't dare to show it on his face. He continued to pretend to be moved and said a lot of good words to Yuan Shu that thanked him. Then he followed Zhang Xun out of the General's Mansion and met everyone.
Sun Ce held Zhang Xun's hand: "Person Zhang, Bo Fu is grateful for his help today. Thank you here! If you have any intention in the future, Ce will repay you with all his strength!"
Zhang Xun ignored it: "These small things are just a small task. Don't care. Bo Fu, I have a close relationship with Qiao Rui and your father.
But God doesn't bless the hero! I regret Brother Wentai, who died young! For this reason, Qiao Rui and I were drunk together! Before he went to the front this time, he told me to take good care of you. Let's not say these unnecessary words. I really help you because you are a character in the future. Let's go, let's go to the barracks in the north of the city."
Sun Ce hurriedly said, "In this way, Bo Fu will always remember the friendship between the two uncles! Let's go!"
Sun Ce sighed in his heart: "Yes! This is a timely help! Only those who can give you help without paying back and sincerely without considering the rewards are the ones you need to thank the most! This help may not be great, but he has done his best. This kind of intention alone can make people in trouble and helpless.
Everyone knows the truth that true love is revealed in times of adversity, but how many people in this world can do this? Such people should keep it firmly in their hearts. One day, they will have the ability. They must repay them seriously.
As for people like Yang Hong, they are just their own masters. He is loyal to Yuan Shu, and there is nothing wrong with hitting me. But unless he serves for me, he still has to hit him if he has the chance. Hehe, I am a man with clear grudges!"
Finally, the anxious Sun Ce and the others came to the camp in the north of the city. Zhang Xun took Yuan Shu's handwriting and explained to the lieutenant on duty in the camp. Because he still had to be on duty, he said goodbye first.
Sun Ce thanked him again and saw him walking away, and then, accompanied by the captain, entered the military camp together.
He finally saw it.
Those group of Jiangdong elite soldiers who were once almost invincible under the leadership of their father.
Chapter completed!
