Now that Liu Zheng has arrived, Sun Jian refuses, and wants to put on airs and wait for the price.

And Liu Zheng seemed to have known for a long time that Sun Jian would reject him.

So before Sun Jian could finish his words, Liu Zheng spoke again and said to Sun Jian.

"Don't be busy refusing for now. The thing I asked you to do is not all for me, but more for the Han Dynasty."

Liu Zheng said tactfully to Sun Jian, which made Sun Jian interested.

However, Sun Jian did not ask what it was, but waited for Liu Zheng to take the initiative to describe it.

Liu Zheng paused for a moment, and when he saw that Sun Jian was not speaking, he began to speak to Sun Jian.

"In fact, it's not difficult. It's just that in Jiuzhen County and Rinan County in the southern part of Jiaozhou, two places, which were originally under the jurisdiction of the Han Dynasty, decades ago, a group of indigenous forces joined forces with some unscrupulous Han people to establish a place called Linyi State, and also occupied many counties in Rinan County, the Han Dynasty. Not long ago, I led the troops to destroy Linyi State, but some rebels fled. In addition, the rebels were the prince of the former Linyi State, so they might cause unnecessary trouble at any time, so I would like to ask Brother Wentai to guard the southernmost territory of my Han Dynasty."

"One of the reason is to shock the little ones, and two, I want you to clean up the remnants of the escaped country and re-incorporate the entire territory of Linyi Kingdom into the territory of the Han Dynasty."

Liu Zheng did not say that Sun Jian was doing business for Liu Zheng, but told Sun Jian was doing business for the Han court. After all, Rinan County belonged to the Han court. Although Liu Zheng nominally occupied Jiaozhou, no matter how it was said that the territory of Jiaozhou still belonged to the Han Dynasty. Liu Zheng himself agreed that even if he unified the Han Dynasty in the future, these territories would still belong to the dynasty, rather than those that some outsiders could easily occupy.

Liu Zheng wanted to use this method to force Sun Jian to serve him.

Although he said this to Sun Jian, Sun Jian was actually doing things for him.

After hearing Liu Zheng's description, Sun Jian's expression changed slightly. He also knew what Liu Zheng said. Although he was under the guise of serving the Han court, he was actually still doing things for Liu Zheng.

Despite this, Sun Jian was also moved at this time.

Because only in this way can he regain military power. Although it may be a border area far away from the Central Plains, only in this way can he stand up again and become a strong man on the side. Otherwise, he would really have to retire in this small courtyard in Hepu City.

Liu Zheng did not urge Sun Jian, but watched Sun Jian not speak, waiting for Sun Jian to speak on his own initiative.

At this time, Sun Jian pondered in his heart for a long time, and had been thinking about what impact Liu Zheng's words would have on him in the future.

Perhaps it was because he agreed to Liu Zheng would indeed help him, and even if Liu Zheng was eliminated by the court in the future, Sun Jian was only doing things for the court and would not be considered as a conspiracy with Liu Zheng. So after pondering for a while, Sun Jian finally chose to agree to Liu Zheng.

"If it's just like this, I think I can still promise you. After all, foreign tribes will have unfaithful intentions when they offend me, the great man. I promise you not to do things for you, but to do things for the Han Dynasty and the court!"

Liu Zheng's words benefited Sun Jian very much, at least giving Sun Jian a step so that he could follow this step to agree to Liu Zheng.

After Liu Zheng heard Sun Jian agreeing to him, a smile immediately appeared on his face, which was still a little worried, and he immediately looked at Sun Jian excitedly.

"I knew that Brother Wentai was a person who was very wise and righteous. If you went to Rinan County, I would feel relieved."

Although Rinan County and Linyi County have been re-controlled by Liu Zheng's people a few months ago, there are not many soldiers and horses left by Liu Zheng, and they are still in chaos. Liu Zheng asked Shi Xie to find a few local people to rule for the time being, and he has not taken it completely to heart.

If Sun Jian had been there, and with the Cheng Pu, Han Dang and other military generals under Sun Jian, pay attention to shocking those villains, the southern part would not continue to be in chaos. Liu Zheng could really free up his hands and concentrate on dealing with the people in the northern court.

"After saying this, I actually came to see Brother Wentai, and there are two more things."

After seeing Sun Jian agreeing to his request, Liu Zheng continued to speak and spoke to Sun Jian. With a perfect start, the following conversation was actually much better.

The two things that followed were only allowed to continue to be told after Sun Jian agreed to him. If Sun Jian refused from the beginning, Liu Zheng would not have said the two things that followed were ungrateful.

"Oh? What's the matter?"

Sun Jian was also curious and looked at Liu Zheng.

"One is, I heard that Brother Wentai has a child named Sun Ce."

Before Liu Zheng finished speaking, he only said half of his words. When Sun Ce was said, Sun Jian's face became a little bit unfavorable.

However, Sun Jian didn't say much, just waited quietly for Liu Zheng to finish.

"I founded a military school in Jiaozhou. Every year, I recruit 100 teenagers between the ages of 12 and 15. When I enter the school to study, I can not only learn martial arts, but also learn military advisors, marching and fighting, case treatment, and even governing the country. I think your son Sun Ce is very talented in martial arts. In addition, the recruitment for the next year will begin in September, so I want him to study in the school."

Although Liu Zheng said so, his intention was that on the one hand, Sun Ce was a talent who could be well trained. On the other hand, Liu Zheng also felt that Sun Jian could not fully gain his trust for the time being, so he needed a proton to be by Liu Zheng's side, and Sun Ce was naturally the best choice.

Such protons have existed from ancient times to the present, such as Emperor Ying Zheng of the First Emperor, who had been a proton in Zhao State before.

When Liu Zheng put forward this opinion, Sun Jian naturally thought that this was Liu Zheng who wanted Sun Ce to stay with Liu Zheng in the name of a hostage.

However, Sun Jian had no reason to refuse this. After all, in order to gain Liu Zheng's trust, he had to do as Liu Zheng said, otherwise the things he had negotiated before would be ruined.

So after Liu Zheng finished speaking, Sun Jian nodded quickly.

"No problem, he is old, and I really want to find a good teacher to teach him. Now that your school can give him some teaching, it can save me some worry."
