Overlord!

Chapter 102 Ji Ling Submits
It was said that they were unexpected guests from Wu Jun, but Sun Ce was actually quite interested in these unexpected guests.

The person who came here was Yuan Shu's envoy, and the envoy was Yuan Huan who worked in Yangzhou Zhizhong, and the deputy envoy was Ji Ling, the general of Dianjun Zhonglang!

The reason was that Sun Ce had been crossing the river for more than half a year, and Yuan Shu finally learned that Sun Ce had successfully defeated Liu Yao, and came to express his appreciation.

At the current speed of information transmission, it will take nearly half a year before Sun Ce crosses the river and defeats General Zhenwu and Yangzhou Mu.Sun Ce naturally dared to make all kinds of waves on his own territory, not to mention promoting various salt-drying methods and Jiangdong plowing in a fixed territory. Even if he took out the outfitted dragon sparrow and galloped thousands of miles across the battlefield, it would not be able to spread quickly. go out.Even if there was a battle with Cao Cao, Cao Cao would have to suffer from a cavalry several times before thinking about the difference between this cavalry and the northern cavalry, and he might not be able to discover the secret of the saddle in the first place.

More importantly, Jiangdong is located south of the Yangtze River, and basically all northerners cross the river and go south in exile.And few southerners will migrate to the north in large numbers.

Sun Ce can basically not worry about the news from the south spreading to Yuan Shu in real time.

But no matter what, when Yuan Shu's envoy came, Sun Ce still had to do some superficial work, and personally led a group of Jiangdong ministers to meet the two envoys at the county mansion.

Yuan Huan was born in the Yuan family of Chenjun. Although he is not from the Yuan family in Runan, they are also a noble family in the absolute sense. His father Yuan Pang is the uncle of the great writer Cai Yong.

Coming from such an aristocratic family, Yuan Huan was dignified and imposing. After striding into the palace, he bowed his hands to Sun Ce and said, "Congratulations to General Sun, the magical soldiers will drive eastward and defeat the powerful enemy."

Sun Ce stood in front of the hall and Zhu Zhi bowed his hands and returned the salute at the same time, but Sun Ce couldn't help looking outside the hall.

In front of the hall, the two guards were already at war with each other, pushing and shoving each other, and there was a tendency to face each other with swords if there was a disagreement, and the corpses were smashed to pieces.

This made Sun Ce quite amazed. The hundred or so tiger guards on the other side were indeed extremely brave. Even in the midst of Wu County, they were still fearless and dared to guard the envoy and rampage.The embroidered guard wanted to untie his sword, but was knocked away by the brave soldiers, who escorted Yuan Huan into the hall with his sword.

But Yuan Huan seemed to turn a blind eye to this scene, and continued to talk eloquently, saying: "General Yuan heard that General Sun had invaded his homeland, so he specially asked me to send the silver seal of General Sun's brocade clothes so that he can return to his hometown."

As he spoke, he spread his hands and said, "India!"

At the side, Ji Ling, who was more than eight feet tall, held the silver seal with green ribbon and put it in Yuan Huan's hand.

Yuan Huan said solemnly: "General Yuan heard that General Sun's weapon was born at the right time. The magic soldiers drove eastward, fought against widows and offenders, attacked generals who had no strong cities, and fought captives who had no confrontations. They also conquered Danyang and restored Wu County. In the Han Dynasty, generals were regarded as generals who killed bandits."

Yuan Huan is strong and courageous, generous in speech and full of spirit.

But all the Wujun generals in the hall still couldn't help laughing.

Yuan Shu is still as inappropriate as ever.

Sun Lang took down Danyang and Wujun for him, and he broke his promise and became fat, and he didn't mention the position of prefect that he had agreed to.Sun Lang is only regarded as the general who killed the bandit from the line of action!
Sun Ce also raised his chest and looked at Yuan Huan.Although General Yi Kou is already a high-ranking miscellaneous general, he is already in the same row as Liu Yao's General Zhenwu and Yangzhou Mu.

But only miscellaneous generals were added, but no real positions were added.This is Yuan Shu making it clear that he doesn't trust Sun Ce.

Yuan Huan was generous and loyal, looked straight at Sun Ce, and said in a solemn tone, "All the guards in Jiangdong have been ordered by General Yuan. If General Sun does not have the post of general, it may be difficult to mobilize Jiangdong's food and grass to assist in the war. This is General Yuan's kindness. I hope that General Sun will not disappoint General Yuan's high hopes!"

Sun Ce looked at Yuan Huan with stern eyes, and he could clearly hear the threat he said, and asked, "I don't know who General Yuan has hired in the counties in Jiangdong?"

Yuan Huan was resolute and unyielding, and replied directly: "The prefect of Danyang has become a celebrity Yuan Yin more easily!"

After finishing speaking, he turned to Zhu Zhi who was on the side and continued: "Master Zhu, General Yuan has expressed that Mr. Zhu will continue to govern Wu County. I hope Mr. Zhu can continue to fulfill his duties and worry about the king's affairs!"

Obviously, Yuan Huan was deliberately distinguishing between Sun Ce and Zhu Zhi, treating them both as civil and military personnel deployed by Yuan Shu in Jiangdong, with equal status and no control over each other.

Yuan Shu naturally had the confidence to control Jiangdong.

From his point of view, Danyang prefect Yuan Yin is his younger brother.Zhu Zhi, the prefect of Wujun, was his official. It was he who snatched the talisman in the hands of Ma Rixun, who was the master and recorded the affairs of the book, and forced Ma Rixun to appoint more than ten soldiers in his army. Among them, he was officially appointed as the captain of Wujun by the Han court.Zhu Zhi should be loyal to him both publically and privately.

Of the three Jiangdong counties, two of them followed his order. Even if a general Sun Ce commanded more than ten thousand troops, he would not be able to make any waves without logistical supplies.

Theoretically, Yuan Shu's idea can't be wrong. If he has the appearance of a king and can win people with generosity, he can be said to be full of talents at the moment.

Even though he complained that the heroes of the world did not take refuge in him, he turned to Yuan Shao instead, angrily scolding: "If you don't follow me, you are a slave to my family?" But the talents in his hands are still unmatched by others.

The celebrities in the center alone include Yuan Huan, Yang Hong, He Kui, etc., and even Sun Ce's father-in-law, Zhou Shang, a famous scholar in the world, also favors him and is willing to help him become the greatest prince in the world.This makes Zhou Yu theoretically also a minister under his command.

And in the local and army, there are Sun Ce, Ji Ling, Zhang Xun, Qiao Rui and others, all of whom can be called good generals.

Some of these people gave him full support, such as Yuan Huan, who thought before he acted, was gentle on the outside but decisive on the inside, and had great courage in times of crisis.Throughout the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty, only Yuan Huan, Cheng Yu, and Cao Ren were evaluated as the brave champion Ben Yu.

There are still people who are waiting and watching, but still accept his conquest, such as Kui Kui, Zhou Yu, and even Sun Ce and Zhu Zhi.

If he can have a heroic bearing, practice morality and manage government, appoint talents and talents, use Zhou Shang, Yuan Huan and others to govern the prefectures and counties, use Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, Ji Ling and others to command the three armies, and use Lu Su, Liu Ye and others as advisors , civil servants enter admonishment, generals serve their orders, and all people are of one mind, the world will not be stable.

Under such circumstances, how dare Lv Bu lead an army of just a few thousand people across Huainan?
Cao Cao dared to drive straight in and chase him for more than six hundred miles?
I am afraid that the world can only be decided by him and Yuan Shao brothers.

But it is a pity that Yuan Shu is narrow-minded and does not practice moral government. He has so many talents but can't use them.

Zhu Zhi is very sure that with regard to the current situation in Wu County, the people in Jiangdong are all happy to hear Sun Lang's name.The powerful, the common people, and the elders all turn their hearts to Sun Lang's administration.

Hundreds of thousands of people only know Sun Lang, but don't know who Yuan Shu is.

Even now, when Sun Lang raises his arms and shouts, hundreds of thousands of people in the county will follow and drive away Yuan Shu.

What's more, Sun Lang has more than [-] elite cavalry under his command. It was an order to only recognize Sun Lang. Even if General Yuan came here in person, he would not be able to mobilize a single soldier without Sun Lang's approval.

In this case, Zhu Zhi knew how to choose with his eyes closed.

Unless General Yuan can send a general to lead an army of [-] troops to Wujun, he, the prefect, must have chosen to support Sun Lang.

It has been commonplace for local tyrants to expel chief officials since the end of Han Dynasty.

Zhu Zhi didn't want to be expelled from Jiangdong by the tyrants and rushed to Liyang in embarrassment.

So Zhu Zhi just bowed his hands lightly, and said to Yuan Huan: "As the chief of Wu County, I will fulfill my duties, manage customs and customs, be worthy of the appointment of the imperial court, and live up to the hearts of the people, so that Jiangdong's government can be smooth and people can live and work in peace and contentment."

He talked a lot, but he didn't say a word about General Yuan.

Ji Ling was furious immediately, and shouted: "Mr. Zhu, if a person forgets his kindness, how is it different from a beast? General Yuan appointed you as the Ming Dynasty, but Mr. Zhu's words have no intention of repaying his kindness, which is quite embarrassing!"

Zhu Zhi glared at him angrily. In today's world, the situation of guarding and disrespecting the governor and the governor of the state is almost everywhere.What's more, Liu Yao, the Yangzhou shepherd in the official face of the Han court, is still alive!
He, Zhu Zhi, found out that Yuan Shu's virtue was not good, but he was the first veteran to persuade Sun Ce to return to Jiangdong to stand on his own.

Speaking of repaying kindness, it is also a kindness to Sun Ce to repay the support and support of the former emperor.

So Zhu Zhi shouted: "Ji Zhonglang! I govern Wu County, make the local government smooth and harmonious, live up to the appointment of the imperial court, and live up to the people's hearts, act righteously, sit well, how can I be ungrateful? Is it possible to be like you , lip service but not the truth, is it considered a great kindness?"

Before Ji Ling could speak, he continued to insult, but Sun Ce's eyes turned cold, and his tone was cold and stern: "I thought Ji Zhonglang insulted his colleagues and made the generals estranged, so he should be punished as a crime!"

As Sun Ce's words fell, Jiang Qin, who had been waiting for orders outside the hall, immediately yelled: "Take them all down, and those who resist will be killed!"

Without any hesitation, the soldiers around immediately stepped forward and launched a fierce attack on the personal guards brought by Yuan Huan and Ji Ling.

Sun Ce's personal guards were all black armored knights, more than seven feet seven inches tall, wearing excellent black armor, charged from all sides, and instantly overwhelmed the group of Yuan Shu's soldiers.Anyone who dared to resist a little, they were merciless, and the long knife was immediately chopped down.

Obviously, on the territory of Wu Jun, the soldiers under Ji Ling did not dare to resist fiercely at all, and they even counted on the general inside to stop the conflict.

This scene made Ji Ling's neck flush instantly, and at the same time, he couldn't help feeling a little panicked.

Sun Ce has always been decisive in killing and attacking, and the generals Qiao Rui, Zhang Xun and others in the army all respect him.Countless soldiers of the whole army are all in awe.

Now that the conflict broke out suddenly, Sun Ce's tone was stern, and Ji Ling was also very frightened, lest he would kill again decisively, causing the soldiers to push him into the alley and chop him up randomly.

It was still Yuan Huan who was courageous and yelled: "Stop it!"

But at this moment, Yuan Huan realized what it means to be the only one who follows.

Without Sun Ce's response, the soldiers who fought outside were completely deaf to Yuan Huan's orders, and continued to punch and kick the surrounded guards, quickly disarming one after another.

Yuan Huan immediately turned to Sun Ce and said, "General Sun, you can stop now! Ji Zhonglang's impulsive words are indeed inappropriate. But if you use violence to control chaos, aren't you adding fuel to the fire?"

Then Sun Ce said slowly: "Yes. As long as Ji Zhonglang pleads guilty to Mr. Zhu, I can temporarily suppress my anger."

"What? Let me take the blame!" Ji Ling yelled angrily.He thought that the most he could do was to hand over his hand to make amends, but he didn't expect Sun Lang to take off his shirt and kneel on the ground to plead guilty!
Yuan Huan also said: "General Sun, this is over! Ji Zhonglang's words are disrespectful, just apologize to Mr. Zhu Fu. Isn't this kind of persecution mean to humiliate your colleagues and make your subjects discord? General Yuan treats you like Flesh and flesh belong to you, so why would you want to humiliate Ji Ling out of personal anger? Today Ji Ling would rather die than obey, even if General Yuan doesn't ask, you are acting illegally for a subject."

In fact, Yuan Shu's indifference to Sun Ce's murder in his army had a great impact.So much so that Sun Ce has the intention to kill again now, it is difficult for them to use Yuan Shu to suppress him.

So don't blame Sun Ce for belittling Yuan Shu. Sun Ce couldn't understand why Yuan Shu would say this sentence in history: "Soldiers are rebellious, and they should be sick together. Why thank you?"

This caused the entire Huainan army, from generals to soldiers, to be in awe of Sun Ce.Even generals like Zhang Xun and Qiao Rui treated Sun Ce with respect and courtesy, and even led the army to set off directly after Yuan Shu's death, intending to join Sun Ce.

Glancing at the angry Ji Ling, Sun Ce refused to budge.It is also because it is really difficult for Sun Cegao to take a look at the actions of the Huainan general.He was ordered to command an army of [-] for Yuan Shu to attack Liu Bei, but was scared by Lu Bu with [-] disciples and [-] cavalry and retreated directly.

No matter what you say, this kind of thing should be executed directly to abolish military discipline.

If any general under Sun Ce dared to retreat without obtaining a military order, and commanded an army of tens of thousands to retreat, Sun Ce could personally kill him as a punishment.

So Sun Ce said: "In the past, Lian Po humiliated Lin Xiangru and caused the general to lose peace. He took the thorns and pleaded guilty, so that the peace can be restored. Ji Zhonglang, do you respect You Sheng, the general of Zhao?"

At this time, all the guards led by Ji Ling outside the hall had been beaten to the ground by the embroidered guards, and they all fell to the ground curled up and howled.Jiang Qin had already entered the hall with several soldiers armed with knives. If Ji Ling didn't want to look good, they would help Ji Ling look good!

Ji Ling's face immediately turned livid.Today's matter, the feudal town is domineering, and he can no longer control it.

His face turned blue for a while, then turned pale for a while, and after struggling for a long time, he finally knelt down slowly and apologized to Zhu Zhi in humiliation.

Yuan Huan clenched his fists tightly, he really didn't expect Ji Ling to be so unbearable.

This makes General Jiangdong, how should he despise the center?Wouldn't it encourage the domineering spirit of the feudal town?
Especially at this moment, the laughter of the surrounding soldiers made Yuan Huan feel even more ear-piercing.With this kind of artificial general, how can Yuan Shu convince the crowd, and how can he win against all the heroes in the world?
He was soft on the outside and strong on the inside, so he didn't look at Ji Ling's performance, and said: "General Sun, you had a word with General Yuan back then, and your family has old favors in Jiangdong. If you attack Jiangdong, you can get [-] soldiers to assist the envoy of Ming Dynasty." Kuangji Han Dynasty. Now that Danyang and Wu Commanderies have been flattened, it should be time to repay General Yuan."

Sun Ce ignored his words directly. From Sun Ce's point of view, what he meant was, General Sun, it's time to take back Danyang County!
