Chapter 34: Sun Ce's butcher's knife
In the camp of Qu'a County, the Jiangdong Army participated in the process before and after the conquest of the Alliance Army, Sun Ce bit by bit, did not miss anything, and told Wu Jing in detail, Wu Jing listened quietly, sometimes frowning, sometimes angry, sometimes surprised.
"What a Yuan Shu, I didn't expect such a villain to come out of the court of the Fourth World and the Three Princes." When Wu Jing heard that the Jiangdong army's grain and grass were cut off, the guide was defeated, and tens of thousands of erlang died, he immediately snorted coldly, his face was indignant, and he scolded angrily.
"Humph! This villain, if it weren't for his father to stop him, he would have been stabbed to death with one shot! Sun Ce also said coldly, after breaking through the realm of Qi Cultivation Dacheng, at the age of sixteen, he had already reached the peak of first-class martial arts, and he was relatively more confident.
"It's a pity that the jade seal of the country was actually sent to him." Wu Jing's eyes flashed with a hint of admiration, his brows moved, and he sighed a little.
Sun Ce did not hide anything from Wu Jing, including the secret of the jade seal.
Before Sun Jian's tiger did not grow up, the Sun family could not compare with the influence of the Wu family in Wu Land, and later Sun Jian wanted to marry the eldest lady of the Wu family, the Wu family was unwilling, thinking that he was rough and reckless, and later it was Wu Jing who single-handedly facilitated this marriage, Wu Jing knew Sun Jian in his early years, and he always thought that Sun Jian would achieve great things sooner or later.
Wu Jing and Sun Jian have a deep relationship over the years, and he has been secretly assisting Sun Jian, otherwise how could Sun Jian be able to train 30,000 elite Jiangdong soldiers with just one county in Changsha.
Sun Jian can have today's prestige, and the four brothers Cheng Pu, Zu Mao, Huang Gai, and Han Dang, who relied on the four brothers for marching and fighting, relied on the two of them on top of political and financial resources, brother-in-law Wu Jing and younger brother Sun Jing.
The two of them poured out the financial resources of the Sun and Wu families to support the Jiangdong Army.
"This is a helpless move, but the second brother said, the jade seal will return to our hands sooner or later, and we have also got tens of thousands of war horses, and a lot of baggage, after my father returns to Jiangdong this time, we will form an elite cavalry." Sun Ce was a little excited.
Cavalry is the most elite class of troops in this era.
"Xiao Zhongmou?" Wu Jing's eyes flashed with a hint of interest, Sun Quan grew up watching him, but when he went to the battlefield once, he became a little unrecognizable.
From Sun Ce's mouth, the difference between Sun Quan and the little Sun Quan he usually knows is not ordinary, he believes that Sun Ce is so strong-blooded and proud, and a young man will not exaggerate.
"Bo Fu, when will the eldest brother return?" Wu Jing was silent for a moment and asked.
"This time the withdrawal of troops is not so simple, this time we not only offended Yuan Shu, but also offended Yuan Shao, my father was afraid that the two brothers of the Yuan family would sneak attack and intercept, so the speed of the march was not fast, even if we got tens of thousands of war horses, I am afraid it will take more than ten days to return to Jiangdong." Sun Ce thought about it before he said.
"Since that's the case, Bo Fu, let's do something before your father returns, and you will come forward in person to sort out the heroes in Qu'a County, there must be a lot of people who oppose the eldest brother here, let's fight a group and pull a group." Wu Jing's eyes flashed with a hint of essence and said.
There are many powerful families in Qu'a County, but the strength is not strong, but there is one very important point, the Jiangdong family is easy to hug together.
His move was to test the reaction of the Jiangdong Shi clan before Sun Jian's army returned.
Wu Jing knew that Sun Jian would return to Jiangdong and would inevitably be able to take Jiangdong with his force, so he had now begun to pave the way for Sun Jian, Jiangdong was a place where there were many clans, and eighty percent of the land and population were under the control of the clans, and Sun Jian would inevitably have to confront these clans if he wanted to occupy Jiangdong.
"Uncle, what should I do?" Sun Ce's eyes lit up, and he was a little moved, he wanted to prove himself to Sun Jian in a hurry now, to prove that he could not only fight on the battlefield, but also manage the place, and his temperament was no worse than Sun Quan.
It's not because of the struggle for power and profit, but the juvenile nature, the juvenile heart that does not admit defeat.
"There are a lot of local heroes in Qu'a, among which there are three major heroes represented by them, the Xu family, the Chen family, and the Gu family, this Gu family is a branch of the Gu family in Wu County, and it must be handled carefully."
Wu Jing himself once served as a county magistrate of Qu'a, and he understands Qu'a's situation better than ordinary people.
"Gu family? The Gu family, one of the four representative families of the Jiangdong clan! "After all, Sun Ce grew up in Jiangdong, and since he was a child, he has been in contact with the Jiangdong scholar clan with his father, and he has always been very unhappy with these scholar families.
In the original history, when Sun Ce pacified Jiangdong, he used to kill these families, and it was because he was too strong against these families that he was assassinated later, otherwise even if he was arrogant, with his martial arts, how could two or three assassins kill him casually.
"Uncle, which family are we going to kill?" Sun Ce's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness and asked.
"The Xu family."
Wu Jing said coldly: "The Xu family is the home of Xu Gong, the governor of Wu County, I have already learned about it, Xu Gong has been jumping up and down in Wu County these days, instigating Sheng Xian, and contacting many Jiangdong Shi clan heroes, if you want to keep the eldest brother's troops out, we will beat him." ”
"Okay, just kill the Xu family!" The corners of Sun Ce's mouth turned up, and a trace of killing intent crossed him.
The surrender of Han Deng and Mo Cong, with Wu Jing assisting by the side, Qu A has been firmly held in Sun Ce's hands, and it is not difficult to destroy a small local wealthy clan.
On the night of the third day when Sun Ce was stationed in Qu'a, 300 servants of the local powerful Xu family suddenly attacked the Jiangdong military camp at night, but Sun Ce had already taken precautions, but instead surrounded and killed them, and all of them were destroyed.
Sun Ce's military camp was attacked, and Han Deng, who was still the commander of Quyang County, was furious, and ordered the county lieutenant Mo Cong to lead a thousand county soldiers to kill one hundred and eighty-one members of the Xu family, and the Xu family, one of the three powerful people in Qu'a, was removed.
The night is bleak, the sky is dark, on the east side of Qu'a County, the original Xu family's mansion is now a river of blood, corpses are piled up like a mountain, and a mess.
"Zihao, now you understand what it means that an egg can't touch a stone!" The battle in the mansion has ended, there is no survivor of the Xu family, countless soldiers are in the aftermath, Han Deng is wearing a robe, standing at the door of the Xu family's mansion, and saying meaningfully to Mo Cong beside him.
The Xu family is only about 300 servants, and they dare to sneak attack the thousands of cavalry of the Jiangdong Army? He didn't believe it at first, but now this is a fact, he got rid of the Xu family, and he still used his hand, needless to say that it must be the handiwork of his former boss, Wu Jing.
However, with this courage, a local wealthy family will be destroyed when it is said to be destroyed, and this eldest prince is not simple.
"The eldest prince just wants to deter us, why kill him, isn't this a bit overbearing?"
Seeing that the Xu family was killed, Mo Cong's expression was a little ugly, and he said.
"In the troubled times, if you don't kill the world, you don't want to kill the world, do you think this is killing us? This is to kill all the Jiangdong clans, as well as Xu Gong, the governor of Wu County, and the eldest prince is the posture of a young hero. ”
Han Deng said coldly: "Zihao, if you can't change your mentality, just leave Jiangdong quickly, I don't want to see you add to your sword and axe one day." ”
Mo Cong's fists were clenched, his green muscles were exposed, his face was a little hideous, staring at the bloodstains in the Xu family's mansion, and finally sighed, as if relieved, and said: "Thank you for the guidance of the county lord, tomorrow I will personally go to confess to the eldest prince and make amends." ”
"If only you could think so." Han Deng is now dead set on following Sun Jian, he knows that Mo Cong still has some ability whether he is managing places or leading troops, and he doesn't want to see Mo Cong kill himself.
……
The next day, on the county hall, the young Sun Ce sat in the center, Wu Jing sat on his right, Han Deng, Mo Cong, and many officials from Qu'a County.
The official position of the Eastern Han Dynasty surpassed the large county towns of more than 10,000 households, to the county order of one person, the county Cheng one, controlled the civil affairs, the clerk, the county lieutenant two people, controlled the public security, and there were soldiers and thieves under the county lieutenant.
Qu'a is a large county town with more than 10,000 households, mainly Han Deng and Mo Cong, and the remaining county Cheng and county lieutenants are mainly composed of two people.
"Han Xianzun, Mo County Lieutenant, thank you for your cooperation this time." Sun Ce was very interested, drank a few glasses of wine, and then stared at the two of them, with a hint of meaningful light in his eyes, and raised his glass.
I have to say that these two are smart people who know the times, if it weren't for the cooperation of the two, I'm afraid that Sun Ce would have to bear some charges in this scene of Qu A.
The Xu family was destroyed, and the shock was huge, and now most of Qu'a's heroes have surrendered, and the Chen family has completely voted for the Sun family, only the Gu family is sitting and watching, and they should still be waiting for the instructions of the Wu County family.
"The eldest prince is polite, the thief actually dares to commit murder in Qu'a, this is what we should do." The two looked at the Lang Lang young man in the hall, there was an unnatural trace of awe in their eyes, and they smiled and arched their hands.
"Hahaha...... Well said. Sun Ce was in high spirits and laughed.
"Report!"
"Come in!" Sun Ce looked shocked and said.
At this time, a Jiangdong soldier outside the hall walked in, handed a letter to Sun Ce, and said, "Eldest son, this is a letter from someone who wants to give you by name, and someone said that this is a letter from the second son." ”
"What, second brother's letter?"
Sun Ce was in a hurry, immediately took the envelope, opened it and took a look, his handsome face suddenly changed in shock, a little hideous, and a thick killing aura on his body condensed, filling the lobby.
"Thief, dare to do this?" He slapped his palm on the desk, and the whole desk clicked a few times, and it suddenly fell apart.
When everyone saw it, they were shocked, as if they felt a cold air flowing, and the temperature above the lobby seemed to have dropped by more than ten degrees.
