Chapter 622
"Of course, we can't go too far! We must thoroughly clear out the hidden diseases of Jiangdong for the King of Qian in advance and win the hearts of the people to our own hands. Otherwise, not only will we be unable to get greater benefits, but it might also be counterproductive and arouse the King of Qian's wariness!"
After all, a former master of Jiangdong who has won the hearts of the people, even if he surrenders to the King of Qian, is a potential hidden danger to the King of Qian.
Perhaps the King of Qian is broad-minded and doesn't care himself, but what about the civil and military officials under him?
Can they not care?
Many times, it is not important whether the Lord thinks so; whether the people under him think so and want to share the worries for the Lord is the key.
"This is really a bit troublesome!"
Sun Ce felt the complexity of this matter.
If you don't grasp it well, good things can become bad things.
"In this case, I'm afraid you have to control this matter, Gongjin, and I will be your knife to execute it, how about that?"
"You are more careful and steady, and you should be able to grasp this degree well!"
Sun Ce suggested.
He knows his personality very well; many times he is too reckless and impulsive, and easily gets too hot-blooded.
So he is not suitable for this kind of control.
"Alright!"
Zhou Yu didn't refuse and nodded with a smile: "Then I will take charge of it by then!"
"In addition, do you think we need to send someone to meet the King of Qian in advance to express our thoughts?"
He himself was a bit hesitant about this matter.
Doing so has both advantages and disadvantages, and it can only be decided by Sun Ce, the Lord.
"Hmm..."
Sun Ce stroked his beard and pondered: "Let's not talk about it for now! Let's send an envoy to explain the situation after we completely defeat Liu Biao!"
"I hope that by then, you, Gongjin, will personally act as this envoy to persuade the King of Qian to set three rounds of gambling with me, okay?"
Sun Ce didn't trust others, fearing they wouldn't handle it well.
"Good!"
Zhou Yu agreed.
He himself also wanted to take this opportunity to see the King of Qian and understand what kind of person Su Xuan is at close range.
In this way, if there is anything different from what he imagined, they can adjust their plan in time, right?
In the King of Qian's mansion in Xiangyang City,
Su Xuan received the latest intelligence from the Jiangdong Dark Guards that day and saw the conversation between Sun Ce and Zhou Yu.
"Tsk tsk!"
After reading it, Su Xuan couldn't help but smack his lips: "I didn't expect that the debut of the ironclad fleet could achieve such an unexpected joy. It really surprised me!"
"Hmm?"
Tian Feng and Xi Zhicai on the side asked in confusion: "Unexpected joy? My lord, what happened in Jiangdong?"
"Here! Take a look! You will understand after reading it! It's a good thing!"
Su Xuan immediately handed the intelligence in his hand to Tian Feng and the others to read.
"Whoa..."
After reading it, they all couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"This Sun Ce and Zhou Yu are quite interesting! This time they were so wise, easily seeing through the situation, and made the right choice. This is completely different from the impulsive Little Conqueror Sun Ce I knew before!"
"However, my lord, this is indeed a great thing;"
"In this way, we can take Jiangdong without a fight and harvest a relatively clean commandery with less difficulty in reform!"
Xi Zhicai couldn't help but sigh and comment.
"Indeed!"
Tian Feng also nodded: "I have some understanding of how deeply rooted the scholar clans and powerful families and bandit forces are in Jiangdong, and even Sun Jian died in their conspiracy. If Sun Ce can clear out a batch of scum in advance, it will indeed be of great help to our implementation of the New Policies after we take Jiangdong in the future!"
"My lord, I think if Sun Ce and Zhou Yu really do these things and surrender, we can give them a great merit and give them more merit points."
"Agreed!"
At this time, Xun You also nodded in affirmation: "In addition, it can be seen from these dialogues that Zhou Yu is indeed talented and not inferior to us. After he surrenders, I think he can be focused on and reused;"
"This person can be considered a true civil and military talent!"
"Able to be a general and commander on horseback and ship, and able to be a capable official with a pen off the horse, which is rare in the world."
Such a great talent, they almost missed it completely.
Fortunately, Sun Ce turned back in time, and finally did not bury such a great talent together.
"Hmm!"
Su Xuan nodded with a smile: "Even if Gongda didn't say it, I would reuse and focus on cultivating Zhou Yu by then!"
"This person's talent is not inferior to Kongming, and even stronger than Kongming in commanding troops!"
