Chapter 496: Disasters brought Xun and Han to the east to join forces
Chapter 496: Disaster caused Xun Han to join forces
Chapter 495: The trouble caused Xun Han to come to the east and join forces
Jiangdong, the northern camp of the Han army.
“Report...to inform my lord, the Ming army has broken through Master Zhou Mu’s defense line and is now running towards Wu County.”
“What? How is this possible?”
Sun Jian’s eyes widened and he couldn’t believe this was true.
Since the four-sided encirclement has been successfully deployed, how could the Ming army break through the southern encirclement without alarming the other three parties?
That idiot Liu Yao couldn't even hold on for such a short period of time?
Sun Jian thought for a while and figured out the key. He immediately looked angry and ordered: "Send the order, abandon all assets and travel lightly, and be sure to catch up with Hong Xiuquan before the Ming army arrives at Wu Commandery."
Wu County is Sun Jian's home base. If the Ming army is allowed to wreak havoc, the consequences will be unimaginable. Therefore, the most important thing for Sun Jian is to rush back and eliminate Hong Xiuquan as soon as possible.
As soon as the order was issued, Sun Jian issued another order.
“Immediately send someone to ask Zhou Mu and the two prefects for reinforcements. Jiangdong does not belong to my family, Sun Jian.”
At this time, Sun Wu approached Sun Jian's ear and whispered: "Brother Jian, I'm afraid Liu Yao did this deliberately, so he will definitely not send reinforcements to us..."
Before Sun Wu finished speaking, Sun Jian said coldly: "I know."
Sun Wu was stunned, but Sun Jian continued: "Otherwise, how can we reassure Liu Yao?"
Sun Wu realized from this that his brother may seem rough, but his actual thoughts are as clear as a mirror.
Sun Jian's face also became extremely cold, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Liu Yao is both a clan member of the Han Dynasty and a Yangzhou shepherd, and I, Sun Jian, am just a small prefect of Wu County. Now we will definitely suffer from a head-on confrontation with him. So I can only endure this tone, but sooner or later I will settle the score with this **** Liu Yao."
Sun Wu's eyes flashed with relief, and he cupped his hands and said: "My lord is wise."
Sun Jian was stunned. He had always been comparable to brother Sun Wu, and Sun Wu was not his subordinate. Unexpectedly, he was willing to accept himself as the master at this time.
Sun Jian knew Sun Wu's ability, suppressed the joy in his heart, patted Sun Wu on the shoulder, and said: "The troubled times are coming. As long as we brothers work together, our Sun family will definitely make a difference."
“Sun Wu will definitely assist the lord in accomplishing great things.”
Sun Jian nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Brother, are you sure you can completely eliminate Hong Xiuquan this time?"
Sun Jian knew that the Yellow Turban rebels were capable of killing aristocratic families and confusing the people, so if they could not be completely eliminated, endless disasters would definitely be left behind, and he was naturally inclined to annihilate them all.
Sun Wu immediately showed a solemn look on his face and said: "It is not difficult to defeat it, but the difficulty is that it cannot be completely eliminated.
Yangzhou is vast and sparsely populated. After Hong Xiuquan broke out, it would be difficult for our army to encircle it again with our military strength alone. "
The meaning of Sun Wu's words is already very clear, that is, no matter how many times he defeats Hong Xiuquan, as long as it is not a total annihilation, Hong Xiuquan can quickly regain his strength by killing aristocratic families and coercing the people.
Seeing Sun Jian's silence, Sun Wu couldn't help but sigh: "I'm afraid the people of Yangzhou will also be robbed this time."
Sun Jian's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he said bitterly: "Because of his own personal affairs, he has harmed the people of Yangzhou. Liu Yao deserves to die. Brother, what should I do now?"
After Sun Wu pondered for a while, he said: "It is definitely not possible to rely on hard work. Even if we win by then, Jiangdong will probably be wiped out. We may consider diverting the disaster eastward and forcing Hong Xiuquan to Jingzhou or Go to Jiaozhou.”
Although this idea is evil, there is no other way. After all, with Sun Jian's power alone, if he wants to annihilate them all, he can only ask Hong Xiuquan to actively cooperate. Of course, this is simply impossible. After Sun Jian pondered for a while, he said decisively: "Jingzhou is Ding Yuan's territory, and Ding Yuan and my sworn brother Qin Wen have always been on good terms, so we should force Hong Xiuquan to Jiaozhou to harm Liu Dai."
“No!”

Nanyang, Wancheng.
Due to the birth of hundreds of scholars, the external situation has become more chaotic and complicated during this period, but Qin Hao has no idea about this because he has been investigating Qin Wu's changes recently.
I don’t know if it’s because Qin Wu and Ying Dang have similar personalities. After absorbing Ying Dang’s personality, Qin Wu’s personality is basically not that big compared to before. Instead, he has become much calmer. This also made Qin Hao completely let go. Heart comes.
“It seems that the summoning method of personality absorption can still be used.” Qin Hao thought to himself.
In the past few days, Han Fei and Xun Yu came to seek refuge one after another, and they got two political talents of 100 million at once, which made Qin Hao extremely happy.
“Ding dong, the host conquers the local character Xun Yu, and activates ‘Recruiting Talents’. If each attribute of the character who joins him exceeds 90, he will be rewarded with an equipment card.”
“Xun Yu’s five-dimensional attributes are: commander 86, force 58, intelligence 96, politics 100, and charm 98. Xun Yu’s three attributes exceed 90, so the host will be rewarded with 3 equipment cards. Please choose the host.”
Without even thinking about it, Qin Hao opened his mouth and said: "1 weapon card and 2 mount cards."
“Okay, the host currently has a total of 3 weapon cards and 4 mount cards.”
After a simple examination, Qin Hao appointed Han Fei as the county magistrate Xun Yu as the chief secretary to assist him in handling Nanyang government affairs.
Nanyang Xinding has a huge pile of large and small affairs to deal with, and Qin Hao has little political experience, so he really can't handle it alone.
After Xun Yu and Han Fei joined, Qin Hao, who had basically no experience in government affairs, became more comfortable in handling government affairs, and Nanyang gradually got on the right track.
Xun Yu and Han Xin came from Confucianism and Legalism respectively, and Confucianism and Legalism have been opposed to each other since ancient times, so they were secretly competing with each other, but it was a healthy competition, which actually improved the efficiency of Nanyang's government affairs.
“Lord, the list of new county magistrates in each county has been screened, and currently there are only ten qualified people.” Han Fei reported to Qin Haohui with a serious face.
Han Fei is usually lazy, but once he starts working seriously, coupled with his handsome face, he is so handsome that people can't look straight at him.
Of course, Qin Hao was completely immune to Han Fei's handsomeness. Hearing this, he was surprised and said, "Why are there only ten? The others are not qualified?"
Including the county magistrates who surrendered, and some scholars who had recently taken refuge, Qin Hao gave a total of more than 40 places, and asked Han Fei and Xun Yu to jointly select the magistrates of each county.
Although there are no people named in the history books among these more than 40 people, they are all talents with political attributes in their 60s and 70s, and they are more than enough to serve as a county magistrate.
Qin Hao was originally worried that the number of people given was too high. After all, Nanyang has 36 counties, but he did not expect that only ten people met the standard in the end.
This is too strict, are you choosing the county magistrate or the prime minister? Qin Hao couldn't help but complain in his heart.
I’ll be summoning again soon. This time it’s a real big deal. Please subscribe and recommend...
