Overlord!

The prisoner exchange in Jingzhou and Jiangdong went very smoothly.

After all, this matter was promoted by Liu Biao and Huang Zu, two powerful figures in Jingzhou, and Huang Zhong simply couldn't resist.

Liu Biao had no choice but to abandon Huang Zhong whether it was to win over Huang Zu or to win over the Jingzhou clan.

In late March, a warship carrying Huang Zhong and Zhuge Liang, who had just been released from prison, went down the river and headed straight for Jiankang.

They exchanged prisoners with Tai Shici in Yangxian, and after a short rest, they were sent by the navy to Jiankang, the current ruling place in Jiangdong.

When we arrived near Jiankang, the river was extremely lively. Boats and boats from all over the world gathered on the river, with thousands of white sails, filling the river roads, traders, people, trade, housewarming, and horses and horses.

Standing at the bow of the boat, Huang Zhong looked at countless fellow travelers who came all the way with their bags on their backs, his melancholy mood finally eased.

It turns out that those who enter Jiankang in the world are like crucian carp crossing the river!It's not that I'm alone and uprooted and alone.

In fact, looking around Jingzhou, Huang Zhong thought to himself that he had nothing to love.

His only son, Xu, died of typhoid fever in his early years, so Huang Zhong has never had an offspring.After his mother passed away a few years ago, Huang Zhong had nothing to worry about in Jingzhou.

If it wasn't for the force of Liu Biao's sending troops, Huang Zhong could even leave alone, abandoning his seal and resigning from office.

On the way to exchange prisoners, the Jingzhou Army kept him under strict surveillance, and he had no chance of escape.

When he arrived in Jiangdong, the Jiangdong Army treated him with more courtesy, and even specially sent a refined and strong young general Zhao Yun to accompany him back to Jiankang.He had a good relationship with Zhao Yun, but he couldn't bear to embarrass Zhao Yun, so he couldn't escape.

After a little hesitation, the ship had already arrived in Jiankang, and it was not worth the loss to escape at this time.

When Huang Zhong looked at the river in a daze, a childish voice sounded from behind: "Congratulations to Huang Zhonglang, the captain enters Jiankang, and from then on he will transform into a Peng, ride the wind, and display his ambition to rise above the clouds."

Huang Zhong turned his head to look and saw a sixteen or seventeen-year-old half-child walking in. He was wearing a scholar's robe, his head was wrapped in a jinjin, and he wore a ring-sword at his waist.

Huang Zhong knew him. It is said that the No. 1 that Wu Hou personally asked Jingzhou to ask for was Zhuge Liang.

When the captives were exchanged, it could be said that the troops were mobilized. There were dozens of generals in Jiangdong, nearly [-] soldiers.

According to the eager eyes of Jiangdong officers and soldiers at that time, if the Jingzhou army refused to hand over this person, or had already been persecuted in prison, there would be a bloody storm immediately.The soldiers entered and stormed Jingzhou.

So much so that when Huang Zhong himself appeared later, he felt that it was just a dispensable gimmick.

When the Jiangdong army received Zhuge Liang, they had already begun to pull out their anchors, preparing to return.

It is said that his father and brother both held important positions in Jiangdong and were highly regarded by the Marquis of Wu.Huang Zhong did not want to offend the children of such aristocratic families, so he did not despise him because of his young age.

Huang Zhong turned around, clasped his hands and said, "Whether it's a blessing or a curse to enter Jiankang, you don't know, how dare you want to ride the wind?"

Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "You will definitely have a bright future here. As a general, the only problem is that you are not appreciated by the king. The Marquis of Wu specifically asked Jingzhou for Zhonglang, which is already in the king's heart. The captain only needs to work hard. If you fight and win the three armies bravely, you will definitely be paid attention to by Marquis Wu and will gradually receive important responsibilities."

Huang Zhong was moved, he never thought that a young man would have such insight, so he discussed with him seriously: "In your opinion, can Jiangdong be safe?"

Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "You know, Huang Zhonglang, there are so many heroes in this world, what are they worried about?"

"Dare to enlighten me." Huang Zhong bowed his hands very solemnly.

Zhuge Liang stood at the bow of the ship holding the ring-sword in his hand, waved his hands with a smile, and said, "I don't dare to teach you. It's just my humble opinion. In today's world, heroes and heroes are all on one side. That is to say. Heroes and sages are all afraid of the master they follow, and if things fail, they are afraid that the land will collapse and they will suffer from it."

Huang Zhong nodded in approval. In Nanjun and Nanyang, a large number of scholars living in Jingzhou shared this opinion.Liu Biao is just a Confucian, if he does not practice military affairs, he will fail in the end.Therefore, he did not want to become an official of Liu Biao, for fear that the power in Jingzhou would collapse in the future and suffer from it.

At this time, Zhuge Liang pointed to the bank of the river and said, "Can Huang Zhonglang see the prosperity of Jiankang City? Heroes from all over the world gather here. Scholars from all over the world come here like crucian carp crossing the river. Why? Since Jiankang City started, then The foundation of Jiangdong has been established. Even if there is a master in the world, Jiangdong will not collapse. This is the foundation of a hundred years. How many people can live a long life for a hundred years?"

What Zhuge Liang said also made Zhao Yun, who was on the bow of the boat, very solemn. He didn't intend to listen in, but he just wanted to get on the bow to inform the two that the ship was about to stop, and asked them to pack their bags and prepare to disembark.

But when he approached, he happened to hear Huang Zhong's words, can Jiangdong be safe?
Marquis Wu traveled thousands of miles and wrote to Changshan, warmly inviting him and entrusting him with important tasks.Its meaning is self-evident.

After Zhao Yun helped Jiang Dong defeat Huang Zu in Chaisang, he has been thinking about whether to say goodbye to Marquis Wu and return to his hometown.

Like Huang Zhong, he has no relatives to hang around in his hometown.

If Jiangdong can have a century-old foundation, Wu Hou can further develop Huanwen's career.Why do you have to leave?Isn't what he is looking for in this troubled world a wise master who can accomplish great things and bring peace to the troubled world?

Looking around the river, vehicles and boats gathered to fill up the roads, and there was an endless stream of people and traders.

Zhao Yun has some firmness in his heart, this is what he expects a peaceful world to look like!What I want is to wipe out the flames of war in the world, so that all states and counties are as peaceful as this Jiankang!
Zhao Yun made up his mind, walked up to the two of them, and said, "Both of you should pack your bags and get ready to disembark."

Huang Zhong nodded and said, "Xie Zilong reminded me that I'm ready."

Then Huang Zhong looked at Zhuge Liang and asked, "Do you have a place to go? If you don't have a place to settle down, you might as well live with me temporarily. I still have a little gold and silver, so I can buy a mansion."

Zhuge Liang shook his head with a smile and said: "I don't know yet. I don't know how to settle in Jiankang City. He should follow me from my father to Luling. Or follow my elder brother and study in Jiankang."

Several people were still chatting, when they suddenly heard a shocked voice above the cabin: "Look at the shore, the flags and ceremonies, could it be that Marquis Wu is here?"

Zhao Yun looked over immediately, and sure enough, as the ship approached the shore, he could already clearly see thousands of elite soldiers Xuan Jia shining on the sun, flying banners and banners, among the banners, the guard of honor of Marquis Wu was clearly visible. visible.

Marquis Wu really went out of the city for several miles to greet him!
Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yun, and Huang Zhong all looked around at each other, waiting for the three of them, who would have the face to attract Marquis Wu to greet him in person?

Sun Ce went out of the city to greet him in person, which was a position that no one in Jiangdong had ever achieved except Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong.

But Zhuge Liang, Zhao Yun, and Huang Zhong are undoubtedly worthy of this courtesy.

After the three of them disembarked, they immediately approached Sun Ce and bowed their hands respectfully: "I pay my respects to General Sun, and respectfully ask General Jin An."

Sun Ce stepped forward, helped the three of them up one by one, and said with a smile, "Excuse me, I will be in Jiankang for a long time in the lonely period. With all the geniuses in the world, you will be able to wipe out the rebellious and overbearing country thieves for the lonely, and help the lonely to become successful." Huan Wen dominates!"

The three of them were all shocked, clearing away the rebellious and usurping country thieves?

What is the meaning of Wu Hou's words?

Sun Ce said solemnly: "Just as the few people sailed eastward by boat, there was a message from Huainan that Yuan Shu replaced the Han with prophecy. Take the governor of Jiujiang as the Yin of Huainan, set up officials and officials, and worship heaven and earth in the suburbs."

The three of them instantly felt like a thunderbolt, full of disbelief!

This is arrogance and proclaiming the emperor!

The 400-year Guozuo of the Han Dynasty, is it going to end from now on?
Even though everyone has seen the troubled times, they thought that there would be such a day.

But no one thought that this day would come so soon.It never occurred to me that it came so violently that people were caught off guard and lost in shock!

Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor!Moreover, the one who proclaimed himself emperor was so decisive and meticulous.

Whether it's prophecy, Chuanguo Yuxi, Huainan Yin, public officials, suburban worship heaven and earth, and palace complexes, he has set them up completely!
Since Guangwu, the Han Dynasty has always had the tradition of governing the country through prophecy.

After all, Emperor Guangwu of the great Han Dynasty proved that he was destined by destiny by writing prophecies, so he became emperor.

Now Yuan Shu also has a prophecy to prove that he is the king of destiny, and he even has the Jade Seal of Chuanguo in his hand!Its manifest destiny is so shocking that it is difficult to question it for a while.

But at this time Sun Ce said solemnly: "But I think that although the virtue of Han Dynasty has declined, the destiny has not changed! The way of heaven and earth, those who accumulate good accumulation prosper, and those who accumulate evil accumulation are lost. It is also a constant in ancient and modern times. It is Tang and Wu who cultivate virtue and become kings. Zhou died of extreme violence. Now Han Zuo is small, and the net leaks are fierce, but the art is crazy and confused, and the evil is serious. He alone inherits the power of the Han family, and punishes crimes with resignations.

"Gu has ordered that the army of Jiangdong will gather at Jiankang. Zhu Zhi, the prefect of Wujun, Gao Cheng, the prefect of Yuzhang, Chen Wu, the general of Xiaoqi Zhonglang, Xu Huang, the captain of cavalry, Chen Bao, the captain of Jianwu school, etc. More than a dozen people have received Jiedu, leading a crowd of 20 cavalry, Dong supervises the Yuan Rong, and works together to conquer the heavens, eliminate troubles and calm chaos."

"Liu Bei, the governor of Xuzhou, sympathizes with the disaster, the hidden army conspires, and the horns follow."

Sun Ce's generous words were like a bell in the morning and a drum in the evening, which made the three of them suddenly light up and felt greatly encouraged.

However, the destiny of the great man is especially strong, with a good assistant to the country like the general who will fight against the rebels, how can Yuan Shu be rampant for a while, and he can proclaim himself emperor without authorization?

I heard that 20 troops gathered in the east of the Yangtze River, and more than ten generals and schools were under Jiedu, and they are about to march out to the north to fight for disobedience!

All three of them felt that they had regained their confidence and settled down.

Zhao Yun immediately made up his mind, cupped his hands and said to Sun Ce: "Yuan Shu is lonely, dare to search for disorderly ranks, steal artifacts, change surnames and things, and help the world. Yun is willing to help General Sun put down the rebellion and punish this thief!"

Huang Zhong also cupped his hands and said: "The general's destiny is gathered, and the personnel affairs are coming. If the teacher's chastity is combined, he will be invincible. Zhong is also willing to do the work of dogs and horses!"

Only Zhuge Liang was left, but as an uncrowned young man, it would be difficult for him to perform his duties even if he wanted to work.

But Zhuge Liang was still ambitious and generous, cupping his hands and saying: "In the past, Xiang Ji always had one powerful person, crossed the state and land, and the people who worked on it were big, but he was defeated in Gaixia and died in Dongcheng. This is why the mausoleum abuses the people below. The current national thief Yuan Shu follows you, and heaven and man blame you! The general responds to the time, Gong Xingtian cuts down, eliminates troubles and calms chaos, and will definitely attract heroes from all over the world to join in their efforts, and everything will be conquered. Liang hates his youth and talent , can’t act like a champion, eliminate thieves for the general’s vanguard, and overcome the country’s calamity.”

At the corner of Sun Ce's mouth, I'm finally waiting for you!As long as you have this heart, why can't you work for the lonely?

Sun Ce said solemnly: "Since you have this heart, you will stay in the Gufu, participate in the shogunate, and learn how to control chaos. The Guhui Commander Shi Zhang Zhao, the gentleman Chen Ji and other famous people in the world will personally teach you how to govern the country and calm the chaos!"

Zhang Zhao looked at the young man in front of him in surprise.

Even Sun Quan, the younger brother of Marquis Wu, did not receive his treatment.Marquis Wu actually valued this person so much?
Sun Ce said to Zhang Zhao seriously: "Since Qing and Gu, my Sun family's century-old foundation is all tied to this son!"

Hearing Sun Ce's evaluation, countless people on the shore widened their eyes in shock, and looked at Zhuge Liang in disbelief.

This son can actually protect the Sun family's century-old foundation?

If the Sun family lasted for a hundred years, wouldn't it be another fate after the Qin and Han Dynasties?
Zhuge Liang was also so shocked that he couldn't help himself, even a little bit at a loss.What virtue and ability do I have, as a young child, I have such a high evaluation from Marquis Wu.

His elder brother Zhuge Jin stood beside him, looked at his young brother in amazement, and said: "My brother is so trusted by Marquis Wu, he should learn a lot, follow the example of Yi and Huo Zhicai, enter the Anben dynasty, and go out to destroy the strong." Enemy. Fame spreads across the country, guards the artifact, and Mu Jing is in the country."

The shock caused by Zhuge Liang on the riverside was only limited to a corner of Jiankang, and it soon returned to calm.It was Yuan Shu's proclaiming himself emperor that shook the world.

With Yuan Shu's change of artifacts and his position of supremacy, the whole world was shocked, and all directions were discussed.

It is true that Yuan Shu's situation is so powerful this time. He proclaimed himself emperor in Huainan, ruled hundreds of thousands of people and changed his flag, and millions of subjects were in awe.
At this time, the princes are in awe, the world is in a state of turmoil, there is no master in the Central Plains for a while, and the people of Zhao are at a loss.

The only thing that makes people feel at ease is that the rebellious general Sun Ce took the lead in spreading the word to the world, declaring his allegiance to the Han Dynasty and serving the emperor to fight against the disobedient!
The Jiangdong army gathered, the ships were well prepared, and tens of thousands of troops gathered in Jiankang.

The rebellious general is not some miscellaneous general.In today's military system, except for the ranks of generals and hussar generals, there are no permanent generals of all walks of life.

But as long as he holds the position of general, he will control all the soldiers and horses along the way, and the military of one side will be entrusted with it!
And sure enough, after Sun Ce announced the crusade against disobedient ministers, all the counties and armies in the entire Jiangdong declared that they would respect the general's order to fight against the rebels, accept the festival, gather Zhuqi Xuanjia, and punish the traitor Yuan Shu together.

After Sun Ce became the first in the world, Liu Bei, the governor of Xuzhou, also announced immediately that he would respect the virtue of Yan and Han and gather [-] cavalry to fight against the traitor Yuan Shu with Sun Ce, the rebellious general!
Sun Ce claimed 20, and Liu Bei claimed [-]. Regardless of whether it is true or not, this mighty momentum seems to have come true.

The emperor was greatly encouraged in Luoyang!Soon, an edict was issued, announcing that Yuan Shu had no merits and good deeds, but he was rampant at the time, arrogantly standing up, and stealing false names!Order the princes of the world to raise troops and eliminate thieves! (end of this chapter)
