After a few days, one after another, all the civil and military forces in Jiangdong had already arrived in Jianye, and even the scholars who were far away in Jiaozhou sent their sons and nephews. Sun Ce's decision, whether it is war or peace, will affect the future of Jiaozhou. I can't help but think about it early.

It's almost time to see everyone. Sun Ce summoned everyone, gathered together, and began to discuss. Sun Ce, the host of the meeting, took the lead in speaking: "Today, the Northern Army is pressing the border, and it is menacing. The people of Yang and Jiaozhou were terrified, and there were many discussions and rumors among the people. In that year, the Central Plains was in turmoil, and the people competed to cross south to protect Jiangdong. The people have enjoyed peace for more than ten years. Now that I heard that the war in Jiangdong broke out again, I actually raced to flee again, but I don't know, in this world, where is there no chaos in the world? My Sun family has its own Jiangdong, pacifying the people, suppressing the bandits, and making small contributions in Yangzhou. Now I see the commotion in the territory again, and the people are confused. I can't bear it. It is to summon the ministers to come here to discuss it. Ruoer and others believe that Jiangdong is difficult to protect, for the safety of the people in the territory, and for the well-being of the people in the world, Sun is willing to raise Jiangdong to dedicate to each other. ”

As soon as Sun Ce opened his mouth, it was a shock. That's what he does, he has always been generous and never hidden. So say whatever you want. Aren't the people worried, so do you think this battle can be fought, and can Jiangdong be protected? If you are all like those ordinary people in the market, you think that Sun's talent and virtue are not enough to protect Jiangdong, then surrender.

When Cheng Pu heard this, he couldn't bear it at the moment, stood up, and after saluting Sun Ce, he said sharply: "My lord, Jiangdong Foundation is all fought for by soldiers with knives and guns, fighting for their lives, and fighting for blood. For this reason, I don't know how many soldiers died. Now that the enemy is present, he doesn't think about the enemy's way, but here he is discussing whether to surrender or not? It's ridiculous! The last general is willing to be the vanguard and reject Liu Bei. After I die in battle, it is not too late for the lord to discuss it with you! ”

Cheng Pu, as a brave general, doesn't look old, but his personality is old and strong. It is true that Liu Bei led the army to come, but if Jiangdong said that he would surrender without even letting out a fart, Cheng Pu would be the first to do it. Are all the men in Jiangdong dead? How can a husband be so cowardly when he is alive?

Cheng Pu's voice was full of emotion, and at the same time, he glared at Sun Quan who was sitting in front of him. His eyes were as sharp as lightning, and he looked at Sun Quan with a feverish face. I had to hang my head and avoid it. Cheng Pu sighed in his heart, the nine sons of Long Sheng are different, and Zhong Mou's personality is really weaker than his brother. Fortunately, Jiangdong Foundation did not pass on to Zhongmou. Otherwise, as soon as Liu Bei came, Zhongmou would only be afraid to think about surrendering his land.

Heroes come out of troubled times, that's true. Cheng Pu's words represent the voice of the vast majority of military generals. Since the end of the Han Dynasty, the world has been in turmoil, and they are all people who want to make contributions with their unique skills. To put it ugly, it is afraid that the world will not be chaotic. The current situation in the world has given them the opportunity to give their own strengths. As for whether the Han Dynasty is unified or not, what does it matter to them.

It's true that people think about people, but that's the business of scholars and ordinary people. Because in troubled times, the one who can't protect his life and property is the kind of person who can't protect his life and property. But troubled times are a paradise for military generals.

The emperor of the Han Dynasty had long been forgotten by the generals represented by Cheng Pu. There will be no concept of a state at all. Isn't it normal to change the dynasty? Zhou Tianzi has enjoyed the country for 800 years, and it has not turned into the dust of history. The Seven Heroes of the Warring States, the Great Qin who ruled the world for the first time, what about it?

The Han Dynasty has almost run out of gas by now. Isn't it normal to change the emperor again. The seals of the country have all been in the hands of the Sun family, and some diviners say that there is a son of heaven in the southeast, shouldn't they all be on the Sun family?

As for the Sun clan's power is too weak, Liu Bei in the north is too strong. Didn't Liu Bang, the Taizu of the Han Dynasty, tremble under the power of the overlord Xiang Yu back then? The general trend of the world, where will be clear for a while. Momentary strength doesn't mean anything. As long as we survive this time, there may be a turning point in the future. If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight. If you want to be an emperor, where is it so easy, there are naturally some essential tribulations.

Starting a business is hard, but the rewards are great. Although Sun is in crisis this time, it is not without opportunities to hide. Isn't there still a strong foreign aid Cao Cao in Jiangdong? With Cao Cao's cunning, will he come to the rescue of Jiangdong? No way.

If Cao Cao allowed Jiangdong to be captured by Liu Bei. Then he should quickly wash his neck and wait for death, because the next one will be his turn soon. So once the war starts here, Cao Cao will crawl and send people to help. With Cao Jun in the outside to contain him, what is Liu Bei afraid of? Maybe we can counterattack across the river.

The generals imagined a bright future. also shouted that they would rather die than surrender. This made Sun Ce's heart feel better. If the generals, who are an important force in the war, also appear to surrender, then he will really be restless.

Sun Ce gave Sun Quan a quick glance. Then he looked at Zhang Hong. Zhang Hong was the head of Jiangdong's Wenchen. Basically, Jiangdong's internal affairs were handled by Zhang Hong. Sun Ce also attaches great importance to his opinions.

Zhang Hong was promoted to Maocai that year, but the generals He Jin, Sikong Xun Shuang and others took turns to recruit him, he resigned, and the world was in turmoil, so he crossed the river from Guangling and took refuge in Jiangdong. Later, he defected to the Sun family. Then he has been working for Sun to this day. To say that he has any deep feelings for the Han Dynasty is also nonsense. But to say that he has no worries in his heart is not right.

What he was worried about was that if he couldn't beat Liu Bei, how should the follow-up things be handled. Scholars still understand the way to protect their lives. However, the stakes are serious, and he has not yet figured it out for a while. Now Sun Ce is in a hurry to ask him to express his position. What can he say?

Naturally, he echoed the main battle faction and resolutely said that he would fight. Zhang Hong knows Sun Ce's personality very well. With Sun Ce's arrogance, he was a person who would not take the initiative to say the word surrender even if he was killed. According to the analysis of some gossip, Zhang Hong naturally understood that this must be a conflict within the Sun family, maybe it was a quarrel between the brothers, and Sun Ce did not want to use strong means to suppress it, so he reluctantly hurt the brother's harmony and hurt the heart of Mrs. Wu. That's why we called everyone together to discuss.

Let everyone express whether it is war or peace, take a look at everyone's attitude, and by the way, also hit Sun Quan. I'm afraid that this is the true meaning of the lord Sun Ce.

As soon as he figured out the things before and after, Zhang Hong naturally knew how to answer. He is not stupid, if he dares to say the word surrender in this hall. Not only did he not say anything about the evil generals in the palace, but he would also enter the blacklist of the lord Sun Ce. So Zhang Hong said: "The lord has kept Jiangdong for many years, has made great contributions to the imperial court, and has kindness to the people." Today, the imperial court did not see the reward, but came to conquer, losing the popularity of the people in the world. And there are big rivers in Jiangdong as natural hazards, and the geography of mountains and rivers is all familiar with the chest. Our army is waiting for work at ease, and it occupies an advantageous area, so in such a good situation, how can it be easy to surrender? ”

When Sun Ce heard this, a smile appeared on his face. This Wenchen's speech is different. Cheng Pu only knows how to shout, fight, and kill. Zhang Hong is different, he also knows how to analyze the favorable situation on his side, explain it in a clear and clear manner, and the head is the way. If such words and deeds are spread, they will inevitably play a role in calming people's minds and enhancing the morale of their own army.

When the generals heard this, didn't they have a look on their faces that suddenly realized and then began to get excited?
