The Spring Festival is coming soon, Zhiyu wishes you an early life! I hope everyone’s family will be healthy and everything will go well!…
Wucheng, County Governor's Office Conference Hall
"Yuan Jian, why didn't you see Zi Huang?" Since entering the city, I have never seen Quan Cong, and I couldn't help but ask Liao Hua in surprise.
"Zihuang returned to Qian Tang's hometown the evening before yesterday, saying that he was ordered to invite the elders of his clan to come to Wucheng to meet the general!" Liao Hua replied quickly.
Unexpectedly, Quan Cong was really concerned about my instructions. Of course, my promise of "the entire clan will be the prefect of Wujun in the future" must have played a lot! I nodded slightly, and I picked up several documents on the table for surrender, browsed a little, and then asked, "Yuan Jian, "The Edict of the Defend Sun Quan" and the ultimatum were issued for nearly three days. Only Songjiang, Yuquan, An County, and Jiaxing are willing to surrender?"
"I have reported to the general that only these four counties have submitted a letter of surrender! In addition, Qian Tang, Lou County, Yuhang and Wucheng have also expressed their willingness to surrender, but the letter of surrender has not yet been sent to Wucheng. At present, only Fuchun County, which is close to Kuaiji, is vague and may still hope for the rescue of the Kuaiji army!" Liao Hua replied respectfully.
"Hmph!" I snorted lightly, and I sneered, "The defenders of Kuaiji are not as good as Wujun, and they must also be prepared for Shanyue in the south. They are not as good as self-protection. Where can they have any military force to rescue a mere Fuchun? No matter what... By the way, after the proclamation of Sun attacks on the whole county, what will happen to the clans of Wujun? "
"..." Liao Hua hesitated for a moment, as if he didn't know how to answer.
"Are you a little cold or hot?" I said with a faint smile without caring.
"General, that's exactly!" After I told the result, Liao Hua said without any scruples, and said helplessly, "The General of the Third City has personally visited the two prominent clans in Wucheng - the Gu clan and the Lu clan, but their attitudes are as the general said: they are lukewarm and hot. They all seem polite, but as long as the General of the Third City asks to ask his clan members to serve the emperor's uncle or assist our army in stabilizing the Wu county, they will give up on the excuse, and they really say that the General of the Third City has no choice..."
"Thank you hard and Yuan Jian!" I smiled and comforted Liao Hua. The "soft nail" that Liao Hua touched was also expected. In fact, not to mention Liao Hua, even if it was me, even my elder brother, under the current circumstances, it would probably be futile to persuade these clans to abandon the Sun family and join our army. The clans are deeply rooted in Wujun and have a wide range of involvement, but this is not only their advantage, but also their disadvantage. Because their status is hard-won and has a wide range of involvement, if they stand in the wrong position, it will be very likely to lead to the end of the destruction of the clan, so they can't help but think about it carefully.
At present, the situation of the struggle between the elder brother and Sun Quan is still unclear. Although our army has successively captured Lujiang, Danyang and Wu counties, it still has not yet established a stable foothold. In terms of strength alone, the Sun family may be half ahead of our army. No one is sure whether Sun Quan will drive us out of Jiangdong again in the future. In this case, except for those who have direct interests with the Sun family, no one will rashly get close to our army. What's more, many of the clans also have clan members serving under Sun Quan's command, such as Gu Yong of the Gu clan, Zhu Huan of the Zhu clan, etc.
If they really want to surrender, they will probably have to wait until our army shows more powerful strength than the Sun family.
"Uncle San, is it useful to put some pressure on them?" Guan Ping thought for a moment and said in a deep voice.
"There is no need to be a hurry for this matter!" I shook my head and rejected Guan Ping's proposal. Even if I force them to serve our army, it will inevitably be a false end in the end, and it will also cause a rift to the relationship. There is no need to do it. "Yuan Jian, is there any important matters in the past two or three days?"
"...By the way!" After pondering for a moment, Liao Hua suddenly thought of something and said anxiously, "General, at noon yesterday, several suspicious people wanted to sneak into Wucheng, but they were taken down by the general when they were on the patrol of the city. After being interrogated by the general, the person in charge of the army only said that his surname was Cheng's name and wanted to see the person in charge of our army, but he refused to say what was going on. The general has temporarily imprisoned these people. General, do you want to see them?"
Chengpan??The surname is normal, but this name is too strange! This person must meet the person in charge, what is the purpose of it? After asking Liao Hua in detail about the name of the man, I frowned and thought.
The word "正" isn't it the word "正" added to the two characters? A sudden light appeared in my mind and some of them came over. Eight out of ten people are children of the Sheng clan, and perhaps they have some relationship with Sheng Xian. Since Sheng Xian failed to rebel against Sun, the Sheng clan has been deeply suppressed and slaughtered in Wujun and even Jiangdong. Therefore, it is no wonder that this person dared not show his real name.
Interesting! The corners of my mouth raised slightly and said to Liao Hua in harmony, "Yuan Jian, go and bring those people to the conference hall, remember to be a little polite!"
As soon as he saw my expression, Liao Hua knew that I had made some decision. After bowing and giving a slight bow, he immediately turned around and left.
Soon, Liao Hua led three people dressed in farmers back to the conference hall.
"General, the person has been brought here!" Liao Hua bowed his fists and then retreated back to the queue.
As soon as these people entered the hall, I began to look at them. The more I looked at them, the more I felt a little funny. Although these people were dressed in the clothes of farmers, their behavior was not like a farmer at all, especially the young man in the 20s, who knew they were scholars at first glance, and the other two were probably their followers. No wonder they were noticed by Liao Hua as soon as they entered the city!
While I was looking at these people, they were also observing me carefully. The young man, who was around 20, also had eye contact with two "entourages".
"Is this Mr. Sheng? I wonder what the relationship between Mr. Sheng Xian and Sheng Xiaozhang, the former prefect of Wu County?" I smiled and suddenly broke the silence in the hall and asked the young man out loud.
"Huh~~!" Hearing that his real surname was called, the young man immediately gasped, and his face changed drastically, his eyes showed an incredible look, and his body took two steps back unvoluntarily. The two people who looked like followers could not help but cover the young man with their bodies.
"How does this general know my real surname?" After a while, seeing that there was no abnormal movement between me and the generals in the hall, the young man calmed down a little and asked in surprise.
"Isn't the word "Sheng" added by your name? What is the relationship between Mr. and the former prefect of Wu County, Mr. Sheng?" I answered his doubts calmly, and then asked the question just now. The social experience of this young man surnamed Sheng seemed to be really limited.
Hearing me, I was quite polite to Sheng Xian. The young man hesitated for a moment and said, "Sheng Xian is his father, the villain Sheng Yu, the character "视频" is Chengxian, and he is the eldest son in the family!"
"It was the descendant of Prefect Sheng, and I was disrespectful!" I immediately stood up and said in a harmonious voice.
"Dare you ask the general for his honorary name?" Sheng Yu's expression slowed down slightly and he asked respectfully.
"A certain family, Zhang Fei, whose courtesy name is Yide..."
Before I could finish my sentence, Sheng Yu immediately interrupted excitedly and said, "You are the brother of the emperor, General Zhang Fei, who led his army to conquer Lujiang a month ago?"
"Of course I am my general, can there be fake?" Liao Hua said with a smile.
"Pu!" Sheng Yu knelt down on his knees, leaned on the ground, and said with a sad voice, "I sincerely Uncle Liu and General Zhang are the masters of our Sheng clan. The Sun family is unkind, and the country is harmed by the people. My father was not angry about his rebellion and raised an army to fight against each other, but was slaughtered. I pity my Sheng clan has lived in Wu County for more than a hundred years, but he was almost exterminated within one month. Originally, the villain thought that there was no hope of revenge in this life, but he did not expect to meet Liu Huangshu's "Expression to Defend Sun Quan" the day before yesterday. He also learned that the general Hu Ben's army had defeated Sun Jing and captured Wu County, so he came to compete with each other. I hope that the emperor and general can pity the miserable situation of my Sheng clan, and the army that promotes the king's way of attacking the rebel Sun family!" At the end, Sheng Yu was already crying. The two followers standing beside him immediately knelt down on the ground and begged for sadness.
As I stepped forward, I personally helped Sheng Yu up and comforted him in harmony, "Chengxian, please get up quickly. I am following my brother's order to cross the river, which is to fight against the rebellion of the Sun family. My brother and I will definitely contribute to you and others! But I don't know how Chengxian escaped from the slaughter of the Sun family?"
"Thank you General Zhang!" Sheng Yu looked surprised and happy, and gave me a deep bow. He then said in a trembling voice, "When Zhou Yu led his army to break through the city, the villain happened to go to Kuaiji to contact his father and friends to raise the flag of righteousness, so he had to escape!"
After a pause, Sheng Yu said excitedly, "General Zhang, if you and the emperor's uncle don't abandon you, my Sheng family, Shen family, and Zhou family are willing to share the same clans, and we and the three tribes have the human resources and financial resources to help the emperor's uncle fight against Sun Ni!"
"Shen Family? Zhou Family?" I said in a slight surprise, "These two tribes have also been slaughtered by the Sun Family?"
"That's right! Therefore, the teacher and friend of Wu County, Shen You and Dian Xue are engaged in Zhou Mi. They are the patriarchs of the two tribes of Shen and Zhou, and are also my father's good friends. They once joined my father in an act against Sun, but were also murdered in the end. Shen and Zhou clans were like our Sheng clan, and they were all persecuted by the Sun clan and had a deep hatred for the Sun clan." Sheng Yu said gritting his teeth.
"Isn't Zhou Yu himself a member of the Zhou clan? How could he slaughter his clan?" Guan Ping suddenly spoke out.
"Zhou Yu's rebel thief comes from the Zhou clan of Lujiang, not the Zhou clan of Wujun, so he is not from the same clan as Zhou clan!" Sheng Yu replied quickly.
"Yeah!" Nodded, I said in a harmonious voice, "Chengxian, my brother here will welcome you and others from the three tribes to return to our army."
"Thank you, General Zhang!" Sheng Yu bowed gratefully, then took out a silk book from the mezzanine of his clothes and raised it over and said, "General Zhang, this is the only remaining person, wealth and material documents of our three tribes, and we are specially presented to the general!"
Guan Ping stepped forward to take the silk book, carefully checked it and presented it to me. When he expanded the silk book, I quickly browsed it.
"Huh~!" It's not that I have seen big scenes, but the content on this silk book really surprised me - 2,400 private soldiers, 40,000 stones of food, and 1.2 billion yuan. This is still the remaining strength of Sheng, Shen and Zhou tribes after being hit hard by the Sun family. It is hard to imagine how strong the strength would be in its heyday.
An unexpected joy! Sheng Yu really brought me a great surprise...

The King of Lin Bao actually started to play with history. Recently, he wrote a new book with a relaxed historical theme "The Supreme Envoy", with the book number 173010, which is currently on the new book list. After my identification, it is not bad.
Chapter completed!
