"Here!" The loyal Zhu Zhi naturally complied with Sun Jian's instructions. Then, a fat young man sitting next to Zhu Zhi raised his hands to Sun Jian and said: "Lord! Then
What should Liu Yao do with him?" This young man is Sun Jian's uncle-in-law Wu Jing!
Wu Jing's Wu family was originally a small aristocratic family in Wu County. Although it was not as powerful as the Gu family and the Lu family, it was still wealthy. Originally, the children of the Wu family were extremely mediocre, but they did not expect that the Wu family would
Jing's generation is blessed with extremely outstanding children. Wu Jing is the youngest son of the head of the Wu family. Above Wu Jing, there are two sisters. Wu Jing's two sisters are famous for their talent and beauty, especially
She is the eldest daughter, and she is gentle and kind. At that time, many people came to propose marriage. Even the current head of the Gu family, Gu Jian, the eldest son of the Gu family, also asked someone to come to propose marriage.
But I never thought that these two sisters of the Wu family would be snatched away by Sun Jian, a bastard. How did Sun Jian win the favor of the Wu family and marry two beauties? Now there is no one.
Got it. But because of this incident, the Wu County aristocratic families headed by the Gu family hated Sun Jian and the Wu family! Over the years, the Wu family has been run out of money by these aristocratic families. If they stay there any longer,
Years later, I'm afraid that the Wu family will be swallowed up by those aristocratic families!
Speaking of Sun Jian's uncle-in-law, Wu Jing is also the current head of the Wu family. Although he is young, he can be regarded as a talented man with both civil and military skills. This time Sun Jian summoned the Wu family to Yangzhou, and Wu Jing simply joined Sun Jian's account.
Next. However, in this meeting hall, Wu Jing also knew the importance and did not call Sun Jian his brother-in-law. Instead, he followed everyone else and directly called Sun Jian his lord.
As soon as Wu Jing mentioned this about Liu Yao's treatment, the few newly surrendered Liu Yao generals sitting at the end all pricked up their ears and looked nervous. Especially Xu Shao, who was sitting among them, thought of Sun Shao's previous treatment of him.
He made a request, with a solemn expression on his face, and looked up at Sun Jian, wanting to see Sun Jian's attitude.
"Liu Yao?" To be honest, Sun Jian really didn't take Liu Yao seriously. Even after occupying Shouchun, Sun Jian had forgotten that Liu Yao was still in prison! But now that he has mentioned it
Sun Jian also had to consider how to deal with Liu Yao. Immediately, Sun Jian turned to look at everyone and said, "How do you think this Liu Yao should be dealt with?"
"What else is there to think about?" It was Zu Mao who was the first to speak. He waved his hand and said, "This Liu Yao can just be chopped off with one knife! Is there any need to say this?"
Zu Mao's words made Xu Shao raise his eyebrows. He was afraid that Sun Jian would just agree, so he quickly shouted: "No!"
When Xu Shao shouted out, everyone present turned their attention to Xu Shao. Sun Jian was no exception. He looked at Xu Shao and smiled and said: "Mr. Xu, why can't you kill Liu Yao? Does Mr. Xu have a point?"
At this time, Sun Ce, who was sitting behind Cheng Pu, glanced at Xu Shao. He did not recognize this person, so he quickly moved behind Cheng Pu and asked quietly: "General Cheng! Who is this guy?"
Cheng Pu wrinkled his nose with disdain and replied: "He? He is one of Liu Yao's advisers who surrendered when we attacked the Governor's Mansion! Hearing what he calls himself, it seems that his name is Xu Shao! Oops
, I don’t know who he is, but the lord accepted his surrender and treated him quite well! But I think his abilities are only average, and he is really as timid as a mouse!"
"Oh? It turned out to be Xu Shao?" Sun Ce had obviously never heard of Xu Shao's name. On the contrary, Zhou Yu who was beside Sun Ce heard it and shouted in a low voice as if he was surprised.
"Uh! Gong Jin!" Hearing Zhou Yu's exclamation, Sun Ce turned to Zhou Yu with confusion on his face and asked, "What? Do you know this guy?"
Zhou Yu nodded and said in a deep voice: "This Xu Shao is quite famous. He has always been known for appreciating and evaluating heroes in the world! This man had been hanging out in Luoyang for several years before and had some reputations, but later I heard that he
He offended the powerful people in Luoyang and had to leave Luoyang. But I didn't expect that he would hide under Liu Yao's tent."
"Hmph! To evaluate the heroes in the world? Just him?" Sun Ce looked at Xu Shao proudly and said with disbelief: "With his kind of virtue, how many heroes have he seen? How dare he say such big words?
"
As soon as Zhou Yu heard this, he knew that Sun Ce's arrogance was coming back. He laughed softly and said: "Bo Fu, don't underestimate Xu Shao's evaluation. Back then, many powerful people begged him to give him
Make a comment for yourself so that you can become famous! By the way! Do you know about Cao Mengde?"
"Cao Mengde? But that Cao Cao who issued a corrective edict last year and summoned the princes of the world to fight against Dong Zhuo? How could I not know! Don't forget, my father set out from Changsha to Chenliu because of his edict.
!" When Sun Ce heard Zhou Yu suddenly mention Cao Cao, he was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly and said.
"Yeah!" Zhou Yu also remembered this matter and responded, then continued: "This Cao Mengde, who was a dandy in Luoyang City back then, heard about Xu Shao's reputation as a critic, so he went to Xu Shao to ask for help.
His own comments. However, after Xu Shao glanced at Cao Mengde, he refused to say another word. Later, Cao Mengde put a sword on his neck, forcing Xu Shao to speak out his comments to Cao Mengde,
'You are the traitor of Qingping, but you are the hero of troubled times!'"
"'Jun Qingping is a traitor and a hero in troubled times!'" Sun Ce repeated it softly, his eyes getting brighter and brighter. Finally, he smiled, raised his head and looked at Xu Shao's figure, smiled and hummed: "Okay
What a traitor, what a hero! I want to see how Xu Shao is judged by me!"
"Hey! Hey!" After hearing Sun Ce's words, Huang Gai, who was standing by, suddenly felt bad and hurriedly advised: "Bo Fu! You must not do anything that will be difficult to end! Don't talk about Xu Shao.
His reputation is already very high. Just because he has just taken refuge with the lord, you can't be too rude to him, otherwise, it will ruin the lord's important affairs!" This Sun Ce can be said to be watched by the fourth general Cheng Pu.
Growing up, as long as it was not a very formal occasion or in front of the public, the fourth general Cheng Pu would still call Sun Ce by his cousin's name instead of calling him "young master" seriously.
Huang Gai's worried words of comfort did not elicit any answer from Sun Ce. Sun Ce just smiled and said nothing. On the contrary, Huang Gai and others became more and more worried, fearing that the young master who had been daring since childhood was about to do something.
Things that are difficult to end.
At this time, facing Sun Jian's questioning, Xu Shao also secretly complained for a while. He was too anxious just now, so he directly stopped him. Now that Sun Jian is questioning him, he must be dissatisfied with himself.
Right? But now, even if Xu Shao wanted to retreat, he had no choice but to retreat. When Xu Shao had no choice but to bite the bullet, he raised his hands to Sun Jian and said, "Lord! No matter what crime this Liu Yao committed, he still has no choice but to retreat.
They are members of the Han clan, and the lord is a Han official. If we deal with the Han clan members rashly, I am afraid that it will be inconsistent with etiquette, and it will attract criticism from the people of the world and affect my lord's reputation! I hope my lord will think twice!"
"Well——!" Although Sun Jian was a little dissatisfied when he heard Xu Shao objecting to Liu Yao's execution at first, he had to admit that Xu Shao's reason was indeed correct! This Liu Yao had the status of a clan member of the Han Dynasty.
It is true that he cannot be killed so easily! But if Sun Jian were to release Liu Yao just like that, he would be a little unwilling! After all, Liu Yao had been the governor of Yangzhou for so many years. What if Liu Yao was released?
, this old boy caused trouble for himself in Yangzhou again, what should we do?
However, Sun Jian was a military general after all. Sun Jian was an expert in wielding swords and guns, but in matters of planning, Sun Jian was not so good. Simply, Sun Jian didn't think much and turned to look at Zhou Yi and others.
Said: "What do you think, gentlemen?"
Zhou Yi thought for a while, but did not rush to speak. Instead, Zhu Zhi said first: "My lord! Liu Yao cannot be retained! Liu Yao is now the legitimate governor of Yangzhou. If Liu Yao does not die, then the appointment of Yangzhou governor
, it is impossible for the imperial court to send it to the lord’s head under any circumstances!”
Zhu Zhi said this, and Sun Jian also felt that it made sense. The position of governor of Yangzhou was very important to Sun Jian! Now Sun Jian was even more in a dilemma. Everyone who sat down with Sun Jian agreed with Zu Mao.
Some people agreed with Zhu Zhi's opinion, and some agreed with Xu Shao's opinion. For a while, everyone started quarreling in front of Sun Jian, which actually gave Sun Jian a headache.
"Okay! Stop making noise!" Finally, Sun Jian couldn't help it any longer. He slapped the table and shouted angrily. Sun Jian's angry shout immediately silenced the entire hall, and everyone was
He immediately lay down on the ground, not even daring to breathe loudly. Seeing that everyone finally calmed down, Sun Jian breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to look at Zhou Yi, who had never said a word, and asked: "
Second brother! In your opinion, should Liu Yao be killed or released? How should we respond?"
Sun Jian knew Zhou Yi very well. When he saw that Zhou Yi had not spoken a word, he knew that Zhou Yi must have an idea, so he asked for advice. Zhou Yi was not pretentious, even when he said to Sun Jian
: "Lord! From my point of view, whether Liu Yao is killed or released, there are pros and cons for the lord! So no matter which choice the lord makes, there is actually no difference. All he has to do is how to
It’s just about seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages!”
Hearing what Zhou Yi said, Sun Jian immediately laughed bitterly, but Sun Ce, who was behind Cheng Pu, curled his lips, turned to Zhou Yu and said: "Gong Jin! Why do you and I have the same moral character when talking to you?
I like to say half and half, but it makes people think hard and can’t figure out the reason!”
