Overlord!

Chapter 74

Seeing Zhang Zhao's serious face, Sun Ce asked with concern, "Zibu, what happened?"

Zhang Zhao's temperament is upright, he used to speak with a strong voice, and he always cut straight to the point.

But today, with a serious expression on his face, he still hesitated for a while in the face of Sun Ce's inquiry, and then persuaded him first: "General, don't be angry when you hear the news, let alone belittle yourself."

"Huh?" Sun Ce frowned, it seemed that something really happened.

Zhang Zhaosu said: "People from Jiaxing, so Hepu prefect Wang Sheng entangled Wucheng Zouta, Qian Tong and others, and each gathered more than ten thousand people to fight against the south of the county. They gathered everywhere to resist the government's orders."

In an instant, Sun Ce was furious, if someone else rebelled, he would rebel!There are countless rebellions in Jiangdong.Sun Ce didn't take it to heart at all.

He gritted his teeth, bleeding with hatred: "I have given so many conveniences to the tyrants, allowing them to buy a lot of land, allowing them to do business freely, and even allowing them to mint money privately. Relatives, townspeople, heroes and celebrities, all of them believe in it! He Wang Sheng, what more do you want! You are the first to turn the crowd against me!"

Wang Sheng reversed!

Not only Sun Ce gritted his teeth with hatred, but even his personal guards couldn't believe it. They even felt betrayed and burst into anger.

"General, let's send troops south immediately! Hack this old man to death, and ask him why he rebelled!"

"Yes, General! Let's send troops immediately! General and Lord, how can I be sorry for him! He is the first to oppose the general's war in Jiangdong."

"Old man, is he worthy of the friendship between the monarch and the prince! He even took the lead in bullying the son of the prince, the weak crown and the beautiful hair!"

This is Wang Sheng!He is Sun Jian's best friend.There is a distinction between being promoted to see your wife!Prior to this, the relationship between the two has been known as Wu Jun for its deep relationship.Everyone thought that he would be one of the biggest helpers in helping Sun Ce occupy Jiangdong, just like Zhou Yu.

But what has he done!
He was the first to stab Sun Ce.

This approach is like Sun Ce's unfortunate death, Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao were the first to jump back and slash at his orphan boy with a knife.

What is the impact of this?The heroes of the world saw that even a close friend of the Sun family like Wang Sheng did not support Sun Ce, and extremely doubted whether Sun Ce could win the hearts of the people.Doubt whether Sun Ce can secure Jiangdong.

And Zou Ta, Qian Tong and others directly started a rebellion in Wucheng County, Sun Jian's fief!

This is simply the loudest slap to Mrs. Sun.

This is almost a shame that Liehou's family has never had.Even the most unpopular prince can have a fief as his final shelter in the face of the world's turbulent waves, and even rely on the fief's elders to follow him desperately, pull up a series, and fight to the death with the world's opponents.

But now that the gang of thieves are not approaching, the elders of Sun's own fief took the lead in launching a rebellion!

It seems that the people of Huaiyin rebelled first and went to kill the Marquis of Huaiyin.

No wonder Zhang Zhao wants to say that it is not appropriate to belittle oneself.

Under such turmoil, anyone with a heart as strong as iron will have to fall into self-doubt.

Even close relatives and old friends have come to oppose him, is there really someone in Wu County who is really supporting him?Is it true that the tyrants are all pretending to be false, and once the army leaves Wu County, they will set off a rebellion.

And Sun Ce's self-doubt went even further, he was not angry at Wang Sheng.

From the moment he opened his mouth, he didn't take Wang Sheng seriously.What made him even more angry was that he had given so many conveniences and favors to the powerful, but the powerful still opposed him!
Regarding Wang Sheng, Sun Ce actually knew his deeds, and he was indeed reversed in history.Mrs. Wu, Sun Ce's mother, persuaded him: "Sheng and your father have the distinction of being promoted to see their wives. Now that all his sons and brothers have died, and there is only one old man left, why worry about it?" Sun Ce spared his life. .

However, Sun Ce has always believed that he has changed his policy, punished rebels and subdued them, and disciplined law practitioners.The policies formulated can be said to be good for the elders of Jiangdong, from the powerful officials to the heads of the common people!

Even in order to avoid the feeling of being conquered by the Jiangdong tyrants and ease their sense of gap, Sun Ce has not yet set the tax details for the autumn harvest.

After making so many arrangements, Sun Ce always thought that he could ease the relationship with Hao Qiang.It is possible to avoid repeating the mistakes of history and avoid mass killings.

But now it seems that he is really naive!

People who look down on you will always look down on you.Greedy and mean people can never be influenced by education alone!

If you don't take up the sword and kill a group of opponents fiercely, the remaining ambitious people will never know what it means to fear authority and obey the law!

Even if you want to build Jiangdong, you have to subdue these cunning and violent people, clean up the house, and then build a new state.

Or Zhang Zhao's previous advice is the best way to govern the country!
Whether it is building Jiangdong or maintaining Jiangdong's law and order, the local tyrants must first be suppressed and attacked politically and by force before the order and stability of Jiangdong can be re-established.

For the princes in this chaotic world, everything is the icing on the cake, and only the invincible army of tens of thousands is the real foundation!
Sun Ce directly grabbed the long knife at his feet, tested the blade by inserting and pulling out, and said in a harsh tone, "I intend to caress the southeast, to rejuvenate the country with pictures, to eliminate tyranny, and to practice lenient government! Those who are arrogant, cunning and insulting, the strong will seize the weak, and the rich will insult the poor. Therefore, misfortune and resentment arise, and they are perverse, which is a disaster for counties and counties! There is a saying from the sages that the reason why people with lofty ideals do things is to promote the interests of the world and eliminate the interests of the world. Harmful!"

"Second and third sons! This kind of cancer is rampant wantonly. If it is not eliminated early, can Jiangdong not collapse? Follow my righteous force and go south to seek thieves!"

Zhou Cheng stood aside, watching Sun Ce's high spirits, cheered him up, and said firmly: "If the weak are not supported, who will be virtuous; if the strong escape punishment, who will be afraid of power! In the past, my father and brother were Jingxiang's Seriously, those who kill Dong Zhuo and reconcile the heroes are all heroes. Sun Lang raised his troops, benevolence and kindness are mighty, and those who are obedient will not be helpless in every difficulty; I will be able to restore the honor of the past and reappear the demeanor of the martyrs. I hope that I will be angry in Jiangdong!"

Sun Ce nodded heavily, it's time for these tyrants to remember, what is Sun Lang Xiaoxiong, who throws a cup and Jingchu is shocked, loses the armor and the Beiren panic!
Zhang Zhao immediately followed Sun Ce. He has a strong temperament and has always adhered to a political idea, that is, to govern Jiangdong, he must first establish Sun Lang's absolute military authority, wipe out all rebellions, and let the people of Wu County completely believe that Wu County is stable. Stay away from wars in troubled times, so that the tyrants will walk out of Wubao, and the people will be able to produce safely.

So after Sun Ce decided to send troops, he immediately said: "General, Wang Sheng, Zou Ta, Qian Tong and others rebelled. If it has been delayed for a long time, if it cannot be wiped out with a single blow with the power of thunder, there is a fear that some heroes will become arrogant and arrogant, and disasters will arise. This battle must be waged with all three armies and go all out, and the date will be determined!"

Sun Ce deeply believed that if these rebellious tyrants could not be swept away like autumn leaves, the entire Wu County would be affected by the atmosphere of war, and the hot production atmosphere just now would soon wither.

At this time, saving is the most important thing. In order to save a little food and grass, only two to three thousand troops will be dispatched. Such a small scale will inevitably not be able to defeat the opponent quickly, and the original military advantage may also be reduced to war erosion.

Soon Sun Ce arrived at the county mansion with his personal guards.

The military situation of the Haoqiang rebellion in the south of the county has been known to the officials. At this time, Zhu Zhi, the prefect of Wujun, Hongzi, the captain of the north, Xu Kun, the captain of the south, and the generals of the army have all had heated discussions in the county mansion.

Sun Ce strode into the room with his personal guards, and the hustle and bustle in the room suddenly fell silent. Everyone stood up at the same time, bowed their hands neatly and saluted: "Meet the general."

Sun Cegao sat at the head seat, slapped the long knife in his hand on the table in front of him, and said in a stern voice: "The powerful and rebellious, there will be no punishment! My army is fighting for justice, and those who jump the beam will be killed even if they are strong! In this battle, I will Pro-General Sixth Division, use the Nine Cuts to rectify the crime! Are you all ready to go south with me to hunt down the thieves?"

Sun Ce's attitude was firm, and Zhang Zhao, the most important minister of the interior, supported him. The counter-insurgency was already an unshakable decision by the forces.Everyone can only work together in this direction.

Sun Ce's prestige far exceeds that of Sun Quan. With the support of Zhou Yu and Lu Su, Sun Quan can withstand all civil and military arguments and gather the strength of Jiangdong to fight the Battle of Chibi.

Under Sun Ce's dominance, the different ideas of civil and military ministers were suppressed to the lowest level, and they were already a group of forces working together and helping each other.

Immediately, Rui Zhi, who was highly respected among the ministers, took the lead in expressing his support.

He is an old official of the Sun family, and he served as the prefect of Wu County as early as Sun Jian's era. He has both seniority and prestige. His support will make many people with less seniority not suitable for questioning.

The most important reason why some people have doubts about this counter-insurgency is of course the issue of food and grass!

Sun Ce is really short of food.And there is a great shortage of food.

But food and grass are related to the governance of the entire Wu County, the authority of minting coins, and even the safety of countless soldiers.

Thousands of people were sent south to support this counter-insurgency.If Sun Ce wants to kiss the Sixth Division of the General Command and lead all the ten or so battalions in the army to the south, if something goes wrong, the entire internal affairs plan may even be ruined!

The soldiers and horses did not move, but the food and grass went first.Because of his high morals and prestige, Rui Zhi served as the magistrate of Wu County and managed all the wealth Sun Ce had acquired since the founding of the army. These wealth are now stored in the treasury of Wu County.He spoke first and introduced it to everyone.

"General, in recent days, the grain and grass in the treasury have begun to be accepted by the soldiers. There have been tens of thousands of people who have taken Tongbao to the treasury to receive grain and cloth. There are still [-] shi of grain left, which is less than [-] shi."

Less than [-] shi of grain!
Everyone took a deep breath.Even if all these grains are used as military rations, and the soldiers transport the grain and grass by themselves, they can only last for a month at most.

But obviously, it is impossible to take all these grains away.Taking half of it away is the limit.

In other words, within half a month, the army will crush the enemy troops gathered everywhere and defending by danger.Excluding the marching time, there are only a few days left for the soldiers to conquer the fortifications!

However, in order to reassure everyone, Rui Zhi still gave a good news: "But because Jiangdong Tongbao has been quite recognized in the towns of Wu County, especially the tyrants have begun to try to exchange copper coins for gold and silver in the county. You can use a part of Jiangdong Tongbao, and there are powerful tribes who sell grains, beans, etc. in the city, and the treasury officials will bring the treasury currency to buy them every day. After a day, the balance of income and expenditure can already be one or two hundred shi."

Sun Ce's eyes lit up: "This is indeed good news. As long as we can keep the peace in the north of Wu County and quickly wipe out the enemy in the south of the county, the trade will surely be more prosperous, and the balance will even increase day by day."

Regardless of whether this situation will occur or not, Sun Ce, as the lord, must inspire confidence in his subordinates and military forces, and make them believe that the situation will develop in this way.

And indeed, after Sun Ce's voice fell, everyone calmed down a lot.

Especially the mighty Zhu Huan of Wu County, who has now served as the acting Sima under Sun Ce's command, took the initiative to stand out, bowed his hands heavily, and was very excited: "The general is full of kindness, I am adjacent to Wu County, and the northern heroes all praise the general's kindness. , I admire the general's spirit and fortitude. In the southern part of the county, a group of cunning and violent people do not know the general's benevolence and righteousness, and they raise their troops on their own. In the front, the three armies are in the rear, and you can conquer it! A certain person is willing to be the vanguard, step up the front, and go to the front first!"

The corner of Sun Ce's mouth rose slightly. If the logistical constraints of this battle can be resolved, he is not worried at all in terms of military affairs.

His strong team is definitely elite soldiers and strong generals, unstoppable!The top strategist Zhang Hong served as the mastermind and participated in the military aircraft under the tent.

The middle level is like a cloud.The most grassroots army is now clearly registered, and there are a total of 870 soldiers receiving salaries.

After defeating Liu Yao and collecting [-] people from Jiangdong, the generals and schools of various ministries selected soldiers, and the army not only increased in size, but also became more elite and fierce.

After all, since entering Wu County in the past few months, the army has not had any chores, only doing two serious things, accumulating valley training!
The professional army consumed nearly [-] shi of Sun Ce's food in just one month to successfully transform. Their military expenses are high, but at the same time they are absolutely well-trained. In addition to preparing to kill people, they are trained how to kill people!
And these more than 4000 people were divided into [-] battalions of school captains.

The first one is naturally Sun Ce's personal guard, the embroidered guard led by Jiang Qin.

The second one is the outfitted Dragon Sparrow Rider formed after Sun Ce's former personal guard captain Chen Wu was promoted to the school lieutenant!

After conquering Jiangdong, Sun Ce thoroughly integrated the war horses obtained from Ruo Rong, Liu Yao, Hao Qiang, Danyang County Bing, Wu Junjun Bing, etc., with a total of more than [-] good horses, and finally formed a thousand-man cavalry force. .

The elite cavalry outfits are being integrated, and now Sun Ce has a total of twelve sets of vests. Although there are not many, Sun Ce has already given the military title to Chen Wu!

As long as Jiangdong is not a mess like Hebei and Yanzhou, and military powerhouses such as Yecheng and Puyang have changed hands several times, and Wu County maintains stable production, it is bound to be able to arm Chen Wu's thousand cavalry into elite armor.

Twelve pairs of vests, Sun Ce's army at this time is much stronger than Nurhachi's.In any case, Sun Ce is better able to pull up a fully armed army than Hou Jin, who has been blocked with fine gold and iron.

In addition to these two special battalions, Sun Ce intends to bring ten battalions of apprentices, namely Xu Kun, Cheng Pu, Wu Jing, Sun Ben, Han Dang, Ling Cao, Zhou Tai, Zheng Bao, and Xu Jun. Yi, Yuan Xiong.

Twelve captains!All of them are fierce and courageous generals who overwhelm thousands of men!

And the tens of thousands of troops under his command are equipped with excellent armor and equipment, and their uniforms are well-organized.

At this moment, Sun Ce is a real young Wan Douhou, and the battle in the southeast is not over!
He drew his sword, waved forward vigorously, and issued a military order: "The three armies move out, sweep away the rebellion!"
