Chapter 1257: General Zhengnan


In this era, Hangzhou, which was regarded as the "Paradise on Earth" by later generations, had not yet been born.

There was only a small town called Qiantang.

Even the West Lake, which is "always suitable for light makeup and heavy makeup", was still a little-known lake at that time, named Qiantang Lake.

Xizi is already a distant legend.

In today's troubled times, what is popular is the heroism of gold and iron horses and drinking water from the Yellow River.

Especially in this era, young talents are rising like comets, which makes people have great ambitions to make contributions.

The main representatives of his crime, the two overlords of North Ma Chao and South Sun Ce, are the idols of countless brave young people.

Although Sun Ce of the South is much inferior to Ma Chao of the North in terms of power and achievements, the reason why Sun Ce can keep pace with Ma Chao is precisely because the charm of Sun Ce's personal bravery caters to the main trend of this era, which makes the South People coaxed him out as a symbolic figure who challenged the Central Plains since ancient times.

However, Sun Ce, who was standing on Qiantang Lake at this time, did not have the slightest ambition.

He looked at the quiet water of Qiantang Lake and said softly to the person next to him: "Gong Jin, do you think this Qiantang Lake has a gender?"

, think of it as male or female."

Zhou Yu's face was still a little pale.

When Sun Ce was assassinated, he flew towards Sun Ce, and the crossbow arrow hit his ribs hard.

If it weren't for God's blessing, if the crossbow arrow was deflected another inch, it would be impossible for Zhou Yu to compete with Sun Ce at this moment.

Stand together and enjoy the Qiantang Lake.

Hearing Sun Ce's words at this time, Zhou Yu knew who Sun Ce was thinking of again.

After biting his lower lip, he said with a hint of weakness that had not yet been cured: "Bo Fu, if this Qiantang Chao has a gender, he will definitely be a man.

A man is born between heaven and earth, and he cannot make waves when he is quiet. , but it contains energy that is astonishing.

When the waves rise in the Mid-Autumn Festival, the water and sky are connected in an instant.

Just like the movement of a man walking in this world, Bo Fu thinks that I am right."

Sun Ce's face was originally a bit sad, but after hearing Zhou Yu's ambitious words, he couldn't help but feel a fire in his chest.

He turned back to look at Zhou Yu, with a hint of gratitude in his eyes, but more importantly, there was perseverance.

Although he didn't say anything, there was no need for any words between the two at this moment.

At this moment, Zhou Yu also looked back at Sun Ce and smiled softly.

His features were picturesque and charming.

He was a male-female killer and could easily charm countless girls.

However, the perseverance in his eyes was exactly the same as Sun Ce's, and that perseverance engraved in his bones was the fundamental guarantee for their success.

The two people's hands were tightly held together, and their youthful strength was surging.

Just like the huge waves rising from Qiantang Lake during the Mid-Autumn Festival, everything that dares to stand in its way will be submerged.

Just when their ambitions were arousing, a man from a distance came running with a fast horse and shouted: "My lord, the imperial envoy Liu Wan is here with the imperial edict."

"Liu Wan is here again."

Sun Ce was slightly startled.

Although Liu Wan appeared to be an imperial envoy of the imperial court, in fact, it was already known to everyone that the Han Dynasty was completely controlled by Cao Cao alone.

It's just that Cao Cao did it much better and more secretly than Dong Zhuo.

Nowadays, the majesty of the Han Dynasty has lost much appeal, and no one is paying much attention to this dynasty that is about to decay and decline.

Sun Ce was stunned not that the Han Dynasty could still send an imperial envoy at this time, but that he was surprised what Cao Cao was going to do in the name of the Han Dynasty.

You must know that the relationship between the Sun family and the Cao family was very tense and strange during this period, and this time the imperial envoy from the imperial court came so diligently, Sun Ce couldn't help but wonder in his heart: Could it be that Cao Cao suppressed the civil strife, and then broke up with this party, and directly wanted to Have you started a war with Koto?

Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu with doubtful eyes.

Zhou Yu may have been sick due to the heat wave, and his face looked a little uncomfortable.

Sun Ce was about to step forward and plan to go back with Zhou Yu, but he saw a tall man already supporting Zhou Yu: "Gong Jin, it's better for you to take care of yourself.

If you don't mind taking care of some secular affairs, I can do it for you."

Sun Ce was slightly moved after hearing this man's words.

Although he knew that man had a close relationship with Zhou Yu, such a tone was quite to his liking.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yu, who had always been extremely proud, did not show any disdain after hearing what the man said.

Instead, he said gratefully: "If Zijing can help me, Jiangdong will be very lucky."

Sun Ce heard that Zhou Yu praised Lu Su so much, and then he thought of this man's reputation before coming to Jiangdong.

Lu Su is twenty-three years old, only three years older than Sun Ce, and is still a young man.

His father died when he was born.

Living with my grandmother.

The family was extremely wealthy, but because none of his ancestors had served as officials, Lu Su's family was wealthy.

But they don't belong to the gentry class, just the kind of wealthy family that has some influence in the local area.

Lu Su was a tall man with a strange appearance.

When he was young, he had great ambitions and was fond of surprising tricks.

He also loved fencing, riding and shooting.

He has a bold personality and does not value money.

Because his family was wealthy, he often gathered young people to teach military training and practice martial arts together.

On a sunny day, I went to Nanshan to shoot hunting with my friends.

If it's cloudy and rainy, people will gather to learn the art of war and practice martial arts.

He served as the mayor of Dongcheng under Yuan Shu.

Due to Yuan Shu's rebellious behavior, he abandoned his official position and left.

Before Sun Ce was assassinated, Zhou Yu sent him a letter.

Let him cross the river, and when he reaches the east of the river, he encounters Zhou Yu who is seriously ill.

As soon as Jiangdong responded to the affairs, Zhou Yu's affairs were all handed over to Lu Su, who was well-organized, methodical and quite good-looking.

Thinking of this, Sun Ce couldn't help but ask: "Zijing, why did Liu Wan come here this time?"

"I came here to appease Jiangdong.

If Cao Cao is wise, I will definitely determine that this reward will not be too small or too big, but it will be enough to make the lord forget about being assassinated."

"Oh" Sun Ce became more interested now and continued to ask: "Maybe you can guess why?"

"I don't know."

Lu Su answered honestly, then raised his head and added: "There is no need to guess.

A counselor should always anticipate the next step."

Sun Ce was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly when he realized what he was doing.

He patted Lu Su on the shoulder, said nothing, and then drove his horse towards Juechen, the governor's mansion.

Zhou Yu looked at Sun Ce's posture, smiled bitterly and said to Lu Su: "After all, I said that he is a lord worthy of allegiance."

"He is brave, brave, and trustworthy.

He is indeed worthy of your assistance.

However, it is a bit regretful that you brought me here before I have been to Chang'an."

"But when you arrive in Chang'an, even if you can be appreciated by Ma Mengqi, how can you express your ambition as you do here?"

Zhou Yu replied with a smile.

Lu Su also smiled slightly, but then the two of them couldn't hold it back.

They both laughed loudly.

Then Lu Su also suddenly spurred his horse and followed Sun Ce's figure.

The reins in Zhou Yu's hand were raised in the air, about to be waved down, but after seeing the worried eyes of Xiao Qiao in the carriage next to him, he still sighed, dismounted and walked into the carriage.

Xiao Qiao's eyes were suddenly filled with sweetness.

When Zhou Yu arrived at the governor's house, he heard Liu Wan's rich voice reading: "I will appoint Sun Ce as the general to conquer the south and guard the east of the Yangtze River."

Zhou Yu quietly entered the hall and saw Sun Ce and Lu Su bowing to each other.

The moment he raised his head, the three of them couldn't help but smile at each other.

The meaning of Liu Wan's imperial edict was just as Lu Su expected.

It was a peace letter sent by Cao Cao.

There is no denying that the Cao family did have a grudge against Sun Ce for assassination, but Sun Ce was not dead after all.

And politics is like this sometimes.

If Sun Ce is not dead, this game will come to an end completely.

Therefore, Cao Cao used the title of General Zhengnan to appease Sun Ce.

Sun Ce himself was too young and had little qualifications.

If his official position was very humble, it would be difficult to rule Jiangdong.

Although the title of general will not add more soldiers to Sun Ce, it is enough to enhance Sun Ce's prestige in the army and among the people, and to consolidate the superior-subordinate relationship between him and his subordinates.

Of course, Cao Cao's methods can never be so simple.

There is another layer of meaning behind this general who conquers the south.

This general title is the most important general of the four campaigns and four towns in the Han Dynasty, and enjoys the honor of commanding an area.

Although Liu Biao of Jingzhou was a relative of the emperor, his general position was only that of General Zhennan, and Sun Ce's General Zhennan was just one level higher than him.

In other words, Sun Ce had the right to order Liu Biao of Jingzhou.

And will Liu Biao listen to Sun Ce's orders?

Of course not.

Liu Bei, the general of the left who had a higher official position than Sun Ce, had to work for Liu Biao, and Liu Biao had a grudge against Sun Ce for killing his father.

How could he succumb to the hands of this yellow-mouthed boy from Jiangdong?

Therefore, there should be another undercurrent surging in Jiangdong and Jingzhou
