Chapter 569
After all, Sun Chuanting was a first-class scholar-official in the Ming Dynasty. He was once the governor of Shaanxi and was promoted to the governor of the three sides. He was considered a top figure. He naturally had his pride and reservedness. Even though he had already planned to defect to the Liu family, he did not agree to serve the Liu family at all.
Instead, he agreed to Wu Xiuwen first and went to see how the East Three Prefectures were governed. If he couldn't satisfy him, he would still find a way to leave.
To put it simply, it is not easy to make him work hard. Of course, this may also be a means for him to wait for the price.
Even Sun Chuanting made a decision. He went to the East Three Prefectures to take a look at the people's sentiments, and then looked at what price the Liu family was willing to offer. Although Sun Chuanting had betrayed the court, it did not mean that he had to work for the Liu family. Even if he was willing to work for his Liu family, his willingness and compulsion were all different matters.
However, the price Liu Bu promised him was unable to refuse. He was both a scholar and a soldier. No soldier could refuse to seal the wolf and the stone Yanran, and asked him to fight Jiannu, which hit his vital point, and he had no reason to refuse.
Liu Bu is also a soldier and has the ambitions of every soldier. Naturally, he understands what these soldiers think, so he offered such a condition. He knew that this condition was issued, and Sun Chuanting would definitely not hesitate and agreed immediately.
It was Liu Bu's proposal to win over Sun Chuanting, and of course it also won Liu Yuanqiao's approval. If the three-sided governor could be brought to the Liu family army's camp, it would be very useful to strengthen their strength. Even if he did not fight for the Liu family army, he would just pull him into the Liu family army's camp, which would amazed and shocked many people, and more people would come to surrender to them.
The highest-level court officials who defected to the Liu family army are at the prefect. If they can win over him, a governor-level figure, the Liu family army will have completely demonstrated their prestige. Emperor Chongzhen is probably so angry that he will die.
That is why their father and son will use all means to win him over with all their might.
Liu Yuanqiao still has some doubts about this, but Liu Bu did not. Although Sun Chuanting is awesome, he has the entire family and his personal honor of life and death, all in the hands of the Liu family army. Does he have any other way out?
Another problem is that even if Sun Chuanting, after he surrendered to the Liu family, did not fight for the Liu family army, Liu Bu could also use him to use his surrender, make a big fuss, and attack the prestige of the court on a large scale, which would have the same effect.
Of course, the Liu family army lacks a helm-like figure in the southern direction of Liaoning. At present, the highest official of the Liu family army in the southern part of Liaoning is Zhou Wentong. He is the prefect of the Liaonan Prefecture established by the Liu family. It is already very difficult for him to deal with the civil affairs of the Liaonan Prefecture. It is impossible for him to deal with the counterattack of Jiannu's army.
Liu Bu also had his own plan, that is, after the beginning of spring next year, he would mobilize a large number of troops to go to southern Liaoning to resist the invasion of Jiannu.
He knew that after half a year of rest and recuperation, Jiannu would recover his strength to a certain extent, and he would immediately go south to retaliate.
Their strength is growing, and the strength of the Liu family army is growing. He is not afraid of Jiannu at all.
Everyone will fight here, but Liu Bu also knows that after the beginning of spring next year, not only will Jiannu launch a large-scale counterattack.
Even the imperial army would quickly go south and launch a large-scale counterattack. The Liu family army would face a situation of war on two fronts. Their strength could already deal with any enemy, but there was still a lack of a general-level figure who could take the helm. He was thinking that if there was no way, he could only ask his father-in-law to come out and let him go to southern Liaoning.
Although Zheng Zhibao is very powerful, he is still good at water warfare. He is still not very good at traditional land warfare and the cooperation and command of various troops. He is even inferior to Liu Zhongyong, Xiao Ning and others in land warfare, so Liu Bu has been looking for a commander-level figure and planning ahead.
When Liu Bu saw Sun Chuanting agreeing, he said, "I hope that Sun Gong can stay in the command for some time to understand the configuration and usage of our various branches of the army, and then set off for southern Liaoning."
Sun Cunting said, "It's over now, and I don't hide it. May I ask if I go to southern Liaoning and where is the official position?"
Liu Bu did not directly answer Sun Chuanting's question, but said: "First the second year of Tianqi, the fifteenth town lost to the Ming Dynasty, and there is no intention of recovering it at all. I guess he doesn't want it anymore, so he doesn't want it, so he doesn't want it, so he wants it if we don't want our Liu family. Our Liu family will set up Liaodong Town outside the pass, and you are the governor of Liaodong Town."
This is a number that was not found in the Liu family's army and that was not found in the Ming Dynasty. It was considered to be a temporary emergence. Even among the series of officials set up by the Ming Dynasty in Liaodong, there was no word "Governor of Liaodong". The official position established by the Liu family is very obvious, which is to seize food from the court and then control southern Liaoning. There is another saying that they cannot return southern Liaoning to the court.
Sun Chuanting said in surprise: "Governor of Liaodong."
Liu Bu said: "That's right! He is the governor of Liaodong, responsible for all the military operations in Liaodong. Since the court has given up on Liaodong, let's take him back?"
Sun Chuanting said: "The court did not give up on Liaodong, but was temporarily weak and could not take it back, and it would eventually take it back."
Liu Bu concluded: "If it weren't for our Liu family army, the Ming Dynasty court would never be able to recover Liaodong."
Liu Bu was talking about the original history, and it was also true, but Sun Chuanting didn't like to hear this sentence. He always believed that the difficulties of the court were temporary. As long as he survived this temporary difficulty, he could restore his strength, conquer lost territory, and even deal with forces like the Liu family army. However, he has become a thief and has become a member of the Liu family army, so he can't say this sentence.
Sun Chuanting suddenly asked: "What's wrong with Fu Zonglong, the governor of Liaonan appointed by the imperial court?"
Fu Zonglong's disappearance became a major unsolved case in the court. Many people in the Liu family believed that 95% of him died at the hands of the Liu family army.
Another half-achieving achievement was that they encountered a storm and were wiped out, but the Bohai Sea was not very big. If his fleet encountered a storm and a whole army was wiped out, there would always be some corpses and wreckage flowing out, but none of them were. It can only be explained that they fell into the hands of the Liu family army, killed and destroyed the corpses.
Although there is no evidence for this matter, combined with the fact that people who have repeatedly ruined Liu Yuanqiao's good deeds in history all suddenly caused trouble and could not die well. They were basically sure that Fu Zonglong died at the hands of the Liu family. Sun Chuanting was very curious about this matter, so he suddenly asked a question.
Liu Bu said: "Fu Zonglong is a troublesome guy. He has failed to succeed and has more than enough trouble. He was detained in an island near Jinzhou and suffered a lot, but he is still alive."
When Sun Chuanting heard Liu Bu say this, he said oh. He thought that Chuanzonglong should have been killed by the Liu family, and his corpse was destroyed, but he was just detained on an island, which shows that the Liu family army is not as cruel as those rumored by outsiders.
Sun Chuanting also had the idea of serving the country and had ambition to become famous. He knew that the suppression of You Kou within the Ming Pass was always the one who beat his own people, and the pattern was limited. However, if he went outside the pass to fight Jiannu, it would be different. He was very satisfied with Liu Bu's appointment of his governor of Liaodong.
Liu Bu said: "To show the Liu family's welcome to Sun Gong, we will give you 5,000 acres of land and a manor, and your family can rely on it to live a very good life."
Sun Chuanting didn't care when he saw Liu Bu's actions so generous. After all, it was not a strange thing for the Liu family in the Linqing Qing Dynasty to be rich in the world. It is said that Liu Bu was very luxurious in the past, and he was willing to use 10,000 taels of silver to buy a beautiful concubine. A carriage costs only 20,000 taels of silver, which is even more luxurious than the emperor's carriage. Now it is not strange to give him five thousand acres of land and a house. After all, Liu Bu hopes to work hard for him.
Sun Chuanting bowed and said, "It is better to obey orders than respect. I represent the Sun family, thank you for your kind gift."
It was impossible for him to refuse Sun Chuanting because his family escaped from Daizhou and had nothing but clothes on them. Without the gift from the Liu family, he would not know what the family had to eat and wear for more than fifty stutters.
Liu Bu's approach can be regarded as solving big troubles and problems for him. He can serve as the governor of Liaodong without any worries and work hard for the Liu family. He expressed his gratitude for the Liu family's actions.
You should know that the previous imperial court appointed him as the governor of Shaanxi and the governor of the three sides, and they did not have such a hand. Of course, we can also look at this problem from another perspective, that is, giving him so much land and manor is equivalent to controlling his family. If Sun Chuanting dares to do anything randomly, the Liu family will attack his family.
However, at this point, Sun Chuanting really didn't have many choices. If he returned to the court at this time, he would inevitably be killed, so he had to accept the good intentions of the Liu family.
When Liu Bu saw that the other party accepted it directly, without hesitation, he knew that the other party was determined to work hard for the Liu family, and he seemed very happy.
This is a very awesome person. In history, he was a person who turned the tide by the Ming Dynasty. There was a saying in the history of the Ming Dynasty that the death of the court and the destruction of the Ming Dynasty!
