Under the leadership of Zhuge Jin, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu entered the prefect's mansion. Along the way, the people in Jianye City stood by the road and looked at Sun Ce with a little numb expression.

Zhou Yu could see a trace of dissatisfaction with Sun Ce in the eyes of these people.

The common people hope to live a safe and stable and promising life. Now that this war is over, the Eastern Wu is almost gone and the people are still fighting. The people are most painful! As the lord of the Eastern Wu, Sun Ce continues to fight, and the people are definitely dissatisfied.

After entering the prefect's mansion, Sun Ce was very satisfied with Zhuge Jin. The entire prefect's mansion was very clean and tidy, with no prosperity. Compared with the houses of some landlords, the place was just a little larger. From this point of view, Zhuge Jin did practical things and was not as greedy for pleasure as some people.

Zhuge Jin and others served Sun Ce to the conference hall.

Sun Ce did not leave much staff for Zhuge Jin, but now Zhuge Jin has many very well-like people who look like officials.

"Tiyu! Before I left, Jianye City was in chaos. But when I returned again, Jianye was prosperous, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the officials were dedicated. How did you do such a huge change?" Sun Ce naturally saw what Zhou Yu saw. As the master of the man, it was the most appropriate time to say it at this time.

Zhou Yu stared at Zhuge Jin, wanting to hear how Zhuge Jin answered.

Zhuge Jin replied respectfully to Sun Ce: "Reporting to the lord, after taking over Jianye, the people's livelihood was in decline and there were not many people. Therefore, the lord ordered people's livelihood to be restored and merchants were recruited, and the head tax for those who settled in Jianye City for two years was exempted from the tax on entering the city. The merchants and the people came enthusiastically. The lords were not strong enough, and they were afraid that the lord's affairs would be ruined because of their personal power. Officials were promoted to Jianye as officials in the surrounding cities. In addition, the lords saw that there were many strong people coming, and then they sent people to recruit soldiers, recruiting lords in total. The lords had already reported to the lords, but the lords sent three batches of people, and none of them returned. The lords were afraid that things would change and there would be no additional dispatch!"

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu listened very carefully. They already understood why Zhuge Jin recovered people's livelihood so quickly. Population tax is the largest income at present and the heavy pressure that people have to face when they wake up every day. No matter who is in power, they will definitely not let this point go. Zhuge Jin boldly exempted two years, and only settled in Jianye City, and the tax on entering the city was exempted. The people and merchants could reduce a lot of expenses, so naturally they came here like Jianye City.

This method is only suitable for use at this time. In normal times, the officials in the surrounding cities would scold Zhuge Jin to death!

"It's rare! Ziyu, you really made me look at you with admiration!" Sun Ce was really happy. Zhuge Jin not only restored people's livelihood, recruited officials, but also had 4,000 new recruits. This was like a shot of a strong heart for Sun Ce now!

Zhou Yu also realized that Zhuge Jin was not lying, and his heart relaxed slightly.

"The lord and the governor are tired from afar. The humble position has already made people prepare the wine and food! Please rest for a while!" Zhuge Jin said without squinting.

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu had eaten some food before and were hungry, but Zhuge Jin had good intentions and they couldn't refuse.

"Jianye is busy with business. Ziyu, stay, everyone else will go down to do the job!" Zhou Yu said.

Zhuge Jin immediately asked someone to go down and arrange it. Not long after, the rich wine and food were served to Sun Ce and Zhou Yu. The other officials bowed to Sun Ce neatly and bowed.

Sun Ce nodded slightly to indicate.

"This is the Wuchang perch that Beiyi bought today. It is very plump. Please ask the lord and the governor to taste it!" Zhuge Jin said with a smile.

Indeed, there are fish among the wine and food. Zhou Yu and Sun Ce also love to eat fish, and Zhuge Jin is what he likes.

However, before eating, Zhou Yu quietly tried a silver cone on all the food. The silver cone did not change, proving that the wine and food were not poisonous. Sun Ce, who was sitting beside him, felt a little unhappy when he saw Zhou Yu like this. In his eyes, he definitely believed Zhuge Jin, but Zhou Yu did this but did not believe Zhuge Jin. Fortunately, Sun Ce did not notice that Zhuge Jin had seen it.

Sun Ce did not have any inspections, so he picked it up and took a bite. The meat of the bass was delicate, and Sun Ce enjoyed it very much.

Seeing that there was no harm, Zhou Yu also picked up chopsticks and ate the fish.

After Sun Ce had a drink of wine, Zhuge Jin asked: "The lord and the governor led the army to attack, and he was busy with government affairs and had never understood it. I don't know what the situation of the battle is? Why did the lord and the governor come back when they have time? What about the other generals?"

Zhuge Jin asked this question, and Sun Ce became very embarrassed, and he didn't know what to say.

Zhou Yu took the opportunity to speak and said, "It is really rare for Ziyu to be busy with government affairs. Well, the lord and I returned to Jianye City because our army fought against Liu Yu in the Lingyang area and was defeated!"

Zhuge Jin was tense all over, and there was a trace of cold sweat on his forehead, and a terrified expression on his face. After a while, he seemed to be sure: "The lord is defeated? He can only retreat to Jianye!?"

"That's right! Fortunately, Jianye City is in your hands, with a lot of troops and people. I can rely on Jianye City to deal with Liu Yu!" Sun Ce had already let go and expressed his plans.

Zhuge Jin hurriedly advised: "No! Lord, never! The military force in Jianye City plus the strong men in the city are only about 10,000. Liu Jun came with a victorious army, and Jianye City will not be able to defend it for long! In his humble opinion, the lord can immediately lead all the troops in Jianye City, leave an empty city for Liu Yu, and return to Wujun immediately. Waiting for the second general's return to help is the best strategy!"

If Zhou Yu had doubts about Zhuge Jin before, now he heard Zhuge Jin's words, he would have no doubts at all.

Zhuge Jin advised Sun Ce to leave Jianye City immediately, which meant that he was loyal to Sun Ce.

"Ziyu, I am very clear about your concerns! However, I have a complete plan, so you don't need to say too much!" Sun Ce did not listen to Zhuge Jin's words.

Zhuge Jin was a little anxious and continued to advise: "Lord, Wu County is the foundation of our army. Only by returning to Wu County can we have a better depth to defend. Please think twice, lord!"

"No need!" Sun Ce refused again.

Seeing Sun Ce insisting, Zhou Yu immediately said to Zhuge Jin: "Ziyu, you go down and prepare first! All kinds of food, grass and equipment, and troops mobilize! It is a perfect match!"

In fact, Zhou Yu also thought Zhuge Jin's suggestions were very good, but Sun Ce had already made a decision that they would fight Liu Yu in Jianye City.

Jianye City is a big city with rivers and rivers, which is very suitable for defense. With 10,000 troops and sufficient food and grass, Sun Ce believes that even if Liu Yu has a 100,000 army, he can hold on for several months! During this period, Sun Quan from Jiaozhou will definitely return to the rescue. The place where the water flows will be wet in the future. Sun Ce believes that all the soldiers of Liu Jun from the north will not be able to stand the climate change, and will definitely be dissatisfied with the local environment!

Sun Ce felt that he still had hope for all kinds of favorable factors!

Sun Ce called Zhou Yu's cousin and asked him to send a letter to Wujun immediately, explain his situation to Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong, and let the two of them prepare, and secretly send Sun Shao, Wu Guotai, Xiao Qiao, Sun Shangxiang and other families out of Wujun and find a place to hide their names first.

Sun Ce values ​​feelings very much, and his family is his weakness, so he must be fully prepared. He did not notify Wujun before, because the situation did not allow it. When he arrived in Jianye City, the first thing Sun Ce thought of was to report his family safety to his family.

After thinking about everything, Sun Ce started eating beautifully.

After thinking for a while, Zhou Yu said to Sun Ce: "Bofu, we need to send people to the surrounding cities and concentrate all our troops in Jianye City."

Sun Ce agreed with Zhou Yu's idea and immediately agreed.

After Zhuge Jin left Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, his face was not very good, and he only improved a little when he met officials.

Zhuge Jin was thinking all the time, and he had a calm face and accidentally bumped into a figure.

"Oh, Lord Zhuge, what are you doing?" The person who was hit by Zhuge Jin was Zhou Yu's cousin Zhou Shang.

At this time, Zhou Shang was carrying two bowls of medicinal soup. This was prepared by Ge Xuan for Zhou Yu and Sun Ce. After Zhou Shang arrived in Jianye City, he went to make medicinal soup as soon as possible. He was hit by Zhuge Jin just now. Zhou Shang was so scared that his face turned blue and he hurriedly stabilized, and almost sprinkled them all.

"Sorry!" Zhuge Jin apologized quickly, but after a closer look, he found that it was a general who came back with Sun Ce. "What is this general?"

Zhou Shang is just a small person, so it is normal for Zhuge Jin not to recognize him.

"The last general was named Zhou Shang, who was the cousin of the governor Zhou. Now he is working under the command of the governor." Zhou Shang hurriedly revealed his identity.

"So it's General Zhou!" Zhuge Jin nodded slightly, and saw Zhou Shang holding two bowls of medicine soup in his hand, so he asked in confusion: "I wonder where the general is holding two bowls of medicine soup?"

Zhou Shang said directly: "This is what the governor and lord need. I won't say much about it. If the medicine soup is cold, it will be bad. Let's say goodbye!"

After saying that, Zhou Shang walked directly past Zhuge Jin with the medicine soup.

Zhuge Jin looked at Zhou Shang's leaving figure and started to think while touching his beard.

"This medicine soup was prepared for Sun Ce and Zhou Yu. Judging from the appearance of Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, it doesn't seem to be injured." Zhuge Jin thought slowly.

Zhuge Jin was very confused. He asked the servants in the prefect's mansion and learned about the place where Zhou Shang had just made the medicine soup. Zhuge Jin wanted to see what was left by Zhou Shang, so as to judge why Sun Ce and Zhou Yu wanted to take medicine.

But before he could walk for a long time, a soldier rushed to Zhuge Jin and reported to him about a major event.

Wujuncheng was taken down by Liu Jun! The Wujuncheng family rebelled, and Sun Shao and others were arrested.

"What!" Zhuge Jin was stunned as if he was hit by lightning.

In an instant, Zhuge Jin thought a lot of things.

After the soldiers reported to Zhuge Jin, they looked at Zhuge Jin very nervously.

Zhuge Jin asked, "Who else knows about this?"

"Sir, this matter has spread all over the city." The soldier answered honestly.

Such a big thing happened, news spread in Jianye City.

Zhuge Jin's face turned right, so he immediately ordered: "Transfer to my news and block the city gate immediately. No one is allowed to go out or enter. Without the orders of my official, anyone who is close to the city gate can be killed without any responsibilities!"

"Yes!" The soldier immediately went down to convey the order.

Zhuge Jin pondered for a while, then turned around and headed to where Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were.

Paper cannot cover the fire, Zhuge Jin is going to report to Sun Ce and Zhou Yu.

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu had just finished drinking the medicine soup made by Zhou Shang and were asking Zhou Shang about something.

Zhuge Jin strode in and said to Sun Ce with a serious expression: "Lord, something big happened!"

When Sun Ce and Zhou Yu saw Zhuge Jin go back and say something big, they immediately realized something was wrong.

Zhou Shang chose to walk away wisely, and there were some things that he could not know. But when he walked out of the door, Zhou Shang's curiosity burst out and secretly hid aside and eavesdropped.

Seeing Zhuge Jin's serious expression, Sun Ce asked, "Ziyu, what happened?"

Zhuge Jin bowed and said, "Lord, you must hold on! The spies reported just now. Liu Jun captured the city of Wujun. The aristocratic family in the city rebelled, and the eldest son and others were captured. This is related information."

Zhuge Jin held a piece of silk cloth high.

Quiet, surprisingly quiet.

Zhuge Jin looked up and found that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's faces were very bad.

Wujun City was taken down by Liu Jun, and a family rebelled, and Sun Shao and others became prisoners of Liu Jun. Just now, Sun Ce was thinking about arranging a way out for his family.

What Sun Ce paid the most was his family. Wujun City could be lost, but his family could not become prisoners.

Zhou Yu felt a little gray. There was also his favorite wife Xiao Qiao in Wujun City. If it fell into Liu Jun's hands, the outcome would be miserable. At the same time, Zhou Yu was a little doubtful about how could Liu Jun take down Wujun City so quickly?

"Take it up!" After holding it in for a long time, Sun Ce said four words.

Zhuge Jin hurriedly delivered the silk cloth to Sun Ce.

After Sun Ce finished watching, he shook his whole body. Zhou Yu and Zhuge Jin, the narrator, hurriedly supported Sun Ce.

Zhou Yu looked closely and saw that it was written about Zhuge Jin's report, which was more detailed.

Sun Ce's chest kept fluttering, and his face turned sickly flushed.

"Puff!" Sun Ce spitted out a mouthful of blood!

"Zhao Yun! I will kill you!" After Sun Ce said this, he fainted.

Sun Ce was injured, and the previous toxins were not clear. After a long journey, Sun Ce's body was in a very fragile state. Wujuncheng was taken down and his family was captured. Sun Ce was worried, causing internal injuries and vomiting blood.

This news became a straw that overwhelmed Sun Ce.

Zhou Yu knew Sun Ce's physical condition, and this time he vomited blood was a big deal. He was frightened and hurriedly shouted: "Bo Fu, what's wrong with you! Hurry! Ziyu, call me doctor!"

"Don't worry, the governor, go and do it immediately!" Zhuge Jin responded quickly and rushed out quickly.
