A few hours later, Liu Chen, who was far away in Chibi, received news from Jiangdong.

When he learned that Sun Jian committed suicide and took all the blame on himself before his death, Liu Chen felt a little sad.

Sun Jian's move was obviously to sell a favor to Liu Chen, and also to contribute to the preservation of the Sun family.

According to Zhao Yun's letter, Sun Jian's statement was full of loopholes, but people in this era were illiterate and they didn't quite understand the deeper meaning.

Sun Jian's simple and crude statement and self-explanatory confession undoubtedly convinced the people.

The common people's hatred towards Changshan's army will naturally not disappear completely. After all, hundreds of thousands of Jiangdong's people were killed in the Battle of Guangling.

However, this hatred will be reduced a lot with Sun Jian's rhetoric and death as apology.

If Liu Chen uses it properly, as time goes by, the invisible will be eliminated soon.

Not only Liu Chen, the lord, was a little sighing, but many of the advisers and generals below were also shocked by what Sun Jian did!

"In order to save all his brothers, Liu Bei did not hesitate to bear the eternal infamy and died. Now Sun Jian left with the same infamy in order to preserve the Sun family."

Cheng Yu said with some emotion:"This man is worthy of being one of the three heroes in troubled times. He really has something surprising and makes people feel awe!"

"X Wentai was also a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty at the beginning. If it weren't for fate and his ambitions expanded after taking over Yangzhou, he would not have reached this point.

Guo Jia nodded and said,"Speaking of which, it's not to blame Sun Jian. He is located in Jiangdong, where there are many aristocratic families. Later, many aristocratic families from Yuzhou and other places moved here."

With so many civil servants and generals below, Sun Jian had to expand his territory and grow his ambitions. His position must push him to move forward!"

All the civil servants and generals nodded and expressed their opinions one after another. Although they were sighing in their mouths, they were also excited about the Changshan Army's capture of Jiangdong! It took so long to design the layout and spent so much energy, manpower and material resources, and they died in battle. With tens of thousands of soldiers, they finally captured the land of Jiangdong.

After Liu Chen thought for a moment, he interrupted the discussion and said:"Send the order! Bury Sun Jian with the honors of the Three Lords!"

"The general will obey!"

Immediately someone ordered the soldiers to retreat.

After all, Sun Jian was not a clan member of the Han Dynasty. As the Marquis of Wucheng and the Shepherd of Yangzhou, it was already a great honor to be buried with the honors of the three princes.

"Bring Zhou Yu, Lu Su and other major generals from Jiangdong."Liu Chen continued to order.

Zhou Yu and others arrived quickly, with confused and confused expressions on their faces!

Liu Chen had just dealt with them, and now he wanted to summon them again. Could it be that he wanted to force them to submit?

But the next moment, after seeing the intelligence, they I understand that I wrongly blamed Liu Chen, but at the same time my heart is filled with sadness!

"Lord, he... committed suicide?!"

Zhou Yu was a little unbelievable, but when he thought of Sun Jian's integrity, he took it for granted, but the lingering sadness could not be concealed.

Lu Su on the side was also unbelievable. Huang Gai, Zhou Tai and other generals, even more Tears streamed down their faces, and they cried loudly.

They had been working with Sun Jian for many years, and no one could be ruthless. When they suddenly heard that Sun Jian had committed suicide, they were naturally sad.

Zhou Yu knelt down on one knee and saluted with his hands raised:"His Royal Highness King Changshan, the guilty minister requested to go to Jiangdong to see the lord one last time!"

If they continue to be under house arrest in Chibi until Sun Jian is buried, they will not be able to participate. They can only go to visit the tomb later to pay homage.

This is what Zhou Yu and others do not want to see.

Lu Su, Huang Gai, Zhou Tai and other generals also looked hopeful. They looked at King Changshan.

Just looking at them, the brightness in their eyes dimmed again.

How could King Changshan agree? Doesn't this mean that there will be endless troubles if the tiger returns to the mountain? Being in a different place and thinking from another perspective, they will definitely not Promised!

But just when the hopes of Zhou Yulu Su and others were shattered, Liu Chen nodded and said:

"This king also has this intention! Not only can you go back, but you can also take back the surviving Jiangdong soldiers, as well as the corpse tokens of those soldiers!"

"What?!"

Zhou Yu lost his voice in disbelief:"Is your Highness serious about what he said?!"

Are you kidding?!

It's okay to let these generals and advisers return, but even the soldiers agreed to be sent back? That was an army of more than 200,000.

Even if Zhou Yu was defeated, the casualties of the soldiers this time were not as good as in the Battle of Guangling, and More than 200,000 people survived.

This...Liu Chen actually let them return to Jiangdong?

Aren't you afraid that they would support Sun Ce and make a comeback?!

"You have nothing to say, I will not tease you! Liu

Chen said calmly:"Not only you, but also the generals Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Chen Wu and tens of thousands of Jiangdong soldiers who were defeated and captured in the Battle of Guangling. I will also order people to send them back." Koto!"

Liu Chen's words shocked Jiangdong generals including Zhou Yu!

They looked at Liu Chen with a horrified expression, as if they were looking at some indescribable god!

If anyone else did this, Zhou Yu said Maybe he would also mock the other party's ignorance in his heart, and ridicule the other party for using this stupid strategy of letting the tiger return to the mountain to win people's hearts.

However, this is Liu Chen, the king of Changshan!

He defeated him Zhou Yu again and again, with his intelligence, strategy, military strategy and other abilities. They are all at the top level!

The battles under his hands, such as the Battle of Dong, the Battle of Guandu, the Battle of Guangling, the Battle of Chibi, etc., are enough to be written into history.

Such a general's talent will naturally not be given up. Such a low-level mistake.

In other words, Liu Chen was absolutely sure that even if he let them leave, he would not be afraid that they would come back after recharging their energy!

How domineering this is!

At this moment, Zhou Yu was really overwhelmed by this whale. King Changshan was shocked! Zhou Yu would never have dared to do this if he was in a different place!

Even if in the original history, Zhuge Liang captured Meng Huo seven times, he was still just one Meng Huo.

However,

Liu Chen let him go. Zhou Yu, Lu Su, Huang Gai, Zhou Tai and other generals, as well as Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Chen Wu and other generals at the time, each of them was more important than Meng Huo.

But Liu Chen still did it!

Zhou Yu knelt down on one knee and said solemnly:"Your Highness, please rest assured! I will come back again after paying homage to the Lord!"

Liu Chen trusted them, and they couldn't break their word.

Prisoners must have the consciousness of prisoners!

However,

Liu Chen shook his head and said:"You don't have to come back! Stay and govern Jiangdong well and develop the navy!

Sooner or later, I will lead the naval army and conquer the world! I hope that at that time, you can fight side by side behind me with sincerity!"

Liu Chen's sincerity made Zhou Yu, Lu Su and other generals and advisers feel moved that they would die for their confidants!

I didn't expect Liu Chen to trust and value them so much!

Zhou Yu opened his mouth and wanted to say something , but in the end he just uttered one word:"Okay!"

Lu Su and other generals had firm eyes!

Their recognition of Liu Chen arose spontaneously and reached an extreme level!

Liu Chen nodded with satisfaction. There are many ways to win people's hearts, and this is just one of them!

As the saying goes, it's not good to employ people. There is no need to be suspicious. Nothing is more valuable than trust!

Zhou Yu Lu Su and other Jiangdong generals retreated, and Liu Chen ordered people to make arrangements to release the prisoners of Jiangdong Army.

More than 200,000 troops, under the command of Zhou Yu Lu Su , returned to the territory of Jiangdong in a mighty manner. This act of letting the tiger return to the mountain made his subordinates, generals and advisers somewhat opposed, but Liu Chen made a firm decision, and no one could change his mind.

All the subordinates had to sigh, their lord really had the power to swallow up the world. The power!

Let me ask all the princes in the world, looking at hundreds of years, who is as domineering as Liu Chen! So confident!

When the Han Dynasty was in chaos and the heroes were divided, their lord stood at the end. This not only proves His ability also proves that he has great luck!

As for letting Zhou Yu, Lu Su and other Jiangdong troops go, will it lead to the tiger returning to the mountain, will the tiger be raised to cause trouble, causing them to support others to rebel!

Guo Jiacheng Yu and other advisers and generals, no Without the slightest fear, if they can defeat Zhou Yu once, they can defeat him twice, three times, countless times!

Today's Changshan Army is powerful in the world!

Today's Changshan King has become a trend!

In fact, this is also Liu Chen The source of confidence!

Now there are more than 200,000 Changshan troops stationed in the entire Jiangdong. Even if the forces are equal, facing this powerful army that is one against five, like wolves and tigers, the Jiangdong army is no match! If there is any intention of rebellion, Liu Chen can nip it in the cradle!

In this case, such a move to win people's hearts, such a move to show personality charm, why not do it?!

……

Yanzhou, Qingzhou area.

The Jiangdong Army that was defeated in the Battle of Guangling was escorted to the rear to join the engineering corps and serve as coolies.

Liu Chen would naturally not waste such a powerful force.

Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Chen Wu and other former Jiang Biaohu ministers were also among this engineering army, using their strength in exchange for living rewards.

These Jiangdong generals are all first- and second-rate generals, and their ability to lead troops in combat is the best choice.

Letting them act as coolies is tantamount to using nature's resources arbitrarily.

However, during this period, Liu Chen mainly attacked Jiangdong in the battle to cross the river. Even if they really surrendered, Liu Chen would not dare to use them to avoid causing an accident!

Even as an official, there are"three mutual laws" to avoid suspicion. Officials cannot serve as officials in their hometown. Using enemies to counterattack their hometown is tantamount to death!

At this time.

While Cheng Pu was skillfully bulldozing the cement and working hard among the army building the cement road, the military governor summoned them.

Cheng Pu glanced at them from the corner of his eye and saw that they were all Jiangdong Army soldiers.

In order to avoid causing a mutiny, they were all disrupted and dispersed into various engineering units. Now when they are gathered together, they are all Jiangdong Army.

Cheng Pu also saw his old friends Han Dang, Chen Wu and other generals, and they communicated silently.

There were cracks on their faces caused by weather and sun, but their eyes were bright and bright, and their complexions were somewhat rosy. It was obvious that Chang Shanjun did not abuse them and entertained them well.

However, Cheng Pu, Han Dang and other Jiangdong Army officers and men still had a lot of memories and nostalgia flashing through their eyes. They were longing for their parents, wives, children, relatives and friends in their hometown.

During this time, while they were working, they also heard some news about Changshan's army's battle to cross the river. Most of them were good news.

I don’t know what happened to Zhou Yu and the others. Did they stop the fierce attack of Chang Shan’s army and defend their homeland?

Just as Jiangdong Army soldiers gathered more and more, Cheng Pu and other generals were horrified to realize that these were the soldiers who were defeated and captured in the Battle of Guangling.

In the blink of an eye, the number of people exceeded tens of thousands, and they were so densely packed. If a hundred people responded to this call and triggered a mutiny, the consequences would be disastrous!

"Is Chang Shanjun crazy?"Cheng Pu's first thought came up.

Han Dang, Chen Wu and other generals also had gleaming eyes, and they obviously had the same idea.

But soon.

After seeing the wolves and tigers of the Changshan Army officers around them, they It's sluggish again!

Facing the Changshan Army, which is one against five, or even one against ten, even if the total strength of the Changshan Army is only ten or twenty thousand, it is still not something that the Jiangdong Army can contend with!

During this period, Qingzhou and Yanzhou served as Coolies, they not only saw the new scene of blooming flowers, saw the miraculous things invented by Changshan King, saw the ingenious inventions, etc. But they also saw the real terror of Changshan Army!

It was different from ordinary people. Physical fitness, terrifying strength beyond ordinary people's cognition!

According to the subtle observations of Cheng Pu and other generals, whether it is strength, speed, physical strength, defense, etc., there are several times the bonus!

And according to the private conversations among the working coolies, the secret In exchange, these ability bonuses are like gifts from God, which can improve ordinary soldiers!

This is terrifying!

Even if they don't want to accept it, they have to accept it. King Changshan is really the chosen one favored by God!

Just when the gathering of Jiangdong Army was over and the generals were communicating silently and having different thoughts, a person appeared on the general platform. Man

Chong looked at the Jiangdong Army officers below and said loudly:

"Your Highness, benevolent and righteous, pardons you from returning to Jiangdong. You can go back to your dormitory to pack up and pay your respects. You can pay for your work and set off tomorrow!"

A simple sentence, but the Jiangdong Army officers present were stunned, and then the uproar and vibrations that resounded in the sky broke out!

Even generals such as Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Chen Wu, who had experienced hundreds of battles and had seen strong winds and waves, were stunned. He looked horrified and unbelievable!

"General, why is this? Cheng Pu asked in silence.

This contradicted his idea of ​​keeping a low profile, but now he no longer needs to keep a low profile.

"The Changshan Army has conquered Jiangdong and controlled the entire Jiangdong territory.……"

Man Chong explained in detail, and then said:"Sun Jian committed suicide and died. Your Highness will pardon you and give him a ride, and at the same time return to his hometown!"

"What?!"

"How can it be?!"

"Is your home gone?!"

Jiangdong was defeated?

The lord Sun Jian committed suicide?!

Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Chen Wu and other generals were stunned! Their faces looked a little pale!

According to Man Chong, Sun Jian did not need to die, but he took over everything To apologize for the crime, this is to save the children of the Sun family and their subordinate generals from death!

This made Cheng Pu and other veteran generals burst into tears, recalling the years of fighting side by side with Sun Jian, the war-torn friendship between the principals and ministers, that kind of The sadness was beyond words!

The tens of thousands of soldiers were even more frightened.

In desperation, they asked tremblingly:

"Has Jiangdong been reduced to a wasteland?"

"Is it impossible for the people of Jiangdong to escape the chaos of war?"

"General, can you tell us the specific details of the Battle of Jiangdong?! Man

Chong wanted to leave, but after thinking about it, he added:

"The Changshan Army will not take action against civilians, but the war is ruthless and there will definitely be some accidental casualties.

However, as far as I know, most of the water battles were carried out in the Yangtze River, and there were fewer attacks on the territory of Jiangdong.

Mainly because Sun Jian saw that there was no hope of victory and decisively chose to surrender. This is also a wise move, and you should be grateful to him!"

Man Chong's words have relieved the tension and worry of the soldiers a lot, but they are still worried about gains and losses, and worry about misfortune and accidents for their family.

However, they can leave tomorrow, and then they can see it with their own eyes.

Jiangdong Army soldiers They dispersed, packed their luggage, settled their rewards, and waited for their return tomorrow.

The next day,

Chang Shan's army led an army of 20,000 people. Under the command of Yan Liang, they guarded Jiangdong's army on its way back.

Now Jiangdong fell into Liu Chen's hands. Jiangdong is also one of their own in the future, and they treat these Jiangdong Army officers and soldiers very politely.

Generals such as Cheng Pu, Han Dang, and Chen Wu can finally gather and communicate after a long absence.

Thinking of Sun Jian's death, they feel sad again, but one cannot die. After resurrecting, they quickly changed the topic and talked about other things to cover up the sadness in their hearts.

"During this time, I am building cement roads, what are you doing?"Cheng Pu asked sadly.

"I'm digging a canal!"

"I also dig canals!"

Han Dang and Chen Wu were stunned for a moment, and then after a brief conversation they realized that they were in two areas. No wonder they didn't meet each other.

"King Changshan spread cement roads all over the world and the transportation was much more convenient. Why did he still build canals? Cheng Pu asked doubtfully

"have no idea! I heard that they want to open up the Yellow River, Huaihe River, Yangtze River and Qiantang River so that the navy can go south directly without taking a detour from the outer sea.

Han Dang shook his head and said,"I heard it's called... the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal!""

"right!"

Chen Wu nodded and said:"I heard that it was from Zhuojun in Youzhou to Yuhang in Wujun, spanning five states, but I don't know why it was named Jinghang."

"Perhaps King Changshan was planning to make the area around Jizhou his capital."

They didn't pay much attention to the name, but they were a little shocked and admired by the feat of King Changshan!

Not only did he lay cement roads to connect the world, but he also dug a grand canal across the five states.

If the land and water routes are connected, then the world will be It is so big that the journey can be shortened by more than many days.

Whether it is food transportation, material transportation, troop transportation, or human passenger transportation, etc., it will be greatly helped!

This is a great project no less than the Great Wall!

It is possible to build such a The great project is enough to show how terrifying the Changshan King's financial, material, manpower, and cohesion are!

Their Jiangdong Army was defeated miserably. Cheng Pu and other generals were actually mentally prepared for it, but they didn't expect this day to come so quickly!
