Chapter 506

Ji Ling immediately bowed and accepted the order.

At the same time, he secretly swore in his heart that he must complete the task beautifully this time and wash away his shame.

Otherwise, he would never be able to hold his head up in front of other warlord generals.

After all, he has been captured twice already.

"In addition,"

At this time, Yuan Shu looked at Yang Hong and asked: "What is the situation with Sun Jian? Is he still unwilling to hand over the Imperial Jade Seal?"

"Hasn't that trash Liu Biao dealt with a Sun Jian yet? If not, I will send someone to do it myself, humph!"

No matter what, he is determined to get the Imperial Jade Seal.

"Uh... it should be soon!"

Yang Hong's forehead broke out in cold sweat: "Currently, Sun Jian and Liu Biao are still fighting in Kuaiji Commandery and Danyang Commandery;"

"Both sides have had victories and defeats;"

"However, the local scholar-official clans and powerful families in Yangzhou clearly support Liu Biao much more than those who support Sun Jian;"

"Therefore, Sun Jian should have no chance of winning in the end."

Mainly because Sun Jian's background is too low.

And he is a local of Yangzhou.

If Sun Jian really became the master of Yangzhou and rode on the heads of those local Yangzhou scholar-official clans, what would those local Yangzhou scholar-official clans think?

No matter how they think, they would feel aggrieved and unconvinced, right?

Why should you, Sun Jian, the son of a melon farmer, ride on our heads?

Our families have been passed down for hundreds of years, and we have been important in this Yangzhou for generations, controlling the right to speak.

If we let you ride on our heads, what face do we have left?

Therefore, Sun Jian's identity as a local of Yangzhou not only failed to become his advantage but also became one of his major disadvantages.

Of course, Sun Jian's reputation and deeds are still quite attractive to the poor scholars and common people in Yangzhou.

Therefore, he still has many supporters in Yangzhou.

It's a pity! Yangzhou is a place completely controlled by intricate scholar-official clans, a place absolutely dominated by local scholar-official clans and powerful families.

Sun Jian wants to rely on the support of these local poor scholars and even common people to control Yangzhou and gain a foothold, which is simply unworkable.

Therefore, Sun Jian, who felt aggrieved, could no longer endure it in the end and had to raise his butcher knife against the local Yangzhou scholar-official clans, especially the scholar-official clans and powerful families in the areas of Wu Commandery and Danyang Commandery that he occupied.

Using killing to deter, killing the chicken to scare the monkey, in order to gain the awe of the local Yangzhou scholar-official clans and gain their support.

As for the result!

Sun Jian succeeded to a certain extent; relying on slaughter, he did indeed deter a group of Yangzhou scholar-official clans, making the scholar-official clans under his governance temporarily dare not oppose or target him on the surface.

But in secret, the undercurrents were already surging.

"Is that so?"

Yuan Shu frowned upon hearing Yang Hong's words: "Solve him as soon as possible! Didn't he kill quite a few Yangzhou scholar-officials and offend quite a few people?"

"Go and secretly bribe and contact these people, and secretly take action against Sun Jian;"

"In short, kill Sun Jian for me as soon as possible;"

"But remember, you must never let anyone discover that this matter has anything to do with me;"

"In addition, after Sun Jian dies, it is best to bring Sun Ce and those generals of Sun Jian back to me;"

"I want the Imperial Jade Seal, and I also want Sun Ce and those generals of Sun Jian."

"I finally understand! I still lack peerless fierce generals like Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong under my command;"

"If I had such peerless fierce generals, I wouldn't have been captured and threatened by Su Xuan time and time again."

"Since it is Sun Ce, you should also pay more attention to whether there are any fierce generals in the world who have not been recruited, and recruit them all back for me; I will reuse them, understand?"

Having suffered such losses several times, Yuan Shu finally gained some memory.

This made Yan Xiang and the others very gratified, and they bowed: "Yes! We have noted it!"

Even Ji Ling and the others did not say anything to refute.

Nor did they feel angry because of this.

Because, having suffered losses several times, they also thought so!

If they could have a few peerless fierce generals under their command, would they have lost in the first place?

In order not to suffer such great humiliation for the third time, they would rather have more peerless fierce generals to share the military power in their hands than suffer humiliation in the future.

Moreover, only if they keep winning will Yuan Shu's influence and territory expand, and his power will also become greater.

They can see this clearly.

Another day or so passed,

After the Jiangxia navy quietly passed through Lujiang and Jiujiang, Yuan Shu, Lu Kang of Lujiang, and others all breathed a sigh of relief.

They understood that Su Xuan's military movement this time was not aimed at them.

Afterward, when the Jiangxia navy entered the coast of Danyang Commandery and Wu Commandery, Sun Jian also received the news.

For a time, Sun Jian also became nervous and ordered his own navy to be on guard and keep an eye on the Jiangxia navy.

"What does this Su Xuan want to do?"

Sun Jian muttered in confusion after seeing the Jiangxia navy pass through Danyang Commandery and Wu Commandery, go directly out of the Yangtze River, and sail toward the sea.

"Lord! News from Xuzhou says that the Mi clan of Xuzhou is preparing to marry into Su Xuan's family; perhaps this Jiangxia navy came for this matter."

At this time, Zhang Zhao spoke.

He is from Xuzhou, and although he came to Yangzhou to avoid disaster and is now serving under Sun Jian, he still has connections and relationships in Xuzhou and can get intelligence from Xuzhou in time.
