Sun Ce used the system to scan Xu Sheng and Chen Wu.
It was found that their growth value and abilities were basically the same as those of Cheng Pu and Huang Gai.
They are all S-class generals.
However, the two of them are young and have a lot of growth potential in the future.
This is what Sun Ce values most.
The most important thing is that they come from humble beginnings.
He has no family background at all, not even the title of "Han Clan" like Liu Ye.
There is simply no obstacle to conquering it.
Besides, what was Liu Ye's purpose in bringing them to Sun Ce?
I just want them to join the Jiangdong Army together.
Liu Ye’s third skill is good at knowing people:
Being able to see the bright spots of ordinary people is more conducive to discovering talents.
Unexpectedly, Liu Ye would enter the role so quickly.
Before leaving Chaohu, Sun Ce discovered two good generals.
What else could Sun Ce say?
Take all the orders!
After this battle, Jiangdong Army had three more talents, one civil and two military.
They also made a lot of money in terms of ordnance, food and salary.
Even the warships that were most scarce before are now very wealthy.
1 three-story ship and 40 stern warships.
Plus there are nearly a hundred small sampans!
The warships Zheng Bao selflessly contributed can almost equip the entire Jiangdong Army.
Sun Ce ordered these warships to be used to transport the money from Chaohu to the other side.
Various warships made three busy trips back and forth, and finally all the supplies were evacuated.
A fire burned Zheng Bao's lair.
Sun Ce returned with a full load of soldiers from Jiangdong.
As per usual.
All the money and wages were handed over to Zhuge Jin and Yu Ji.
Oh, right.
Liu Ye, a talented person, also participated.
He shared many affairs for Zhuge Jin and Yu Ji.
This huge amount of money.
One third is used to expand armaments and recruit troops.
One-third is used to appease the people and allow the people in Longshu, Linhu and other counties to live a good life.
The last third is used to purchase raw materials.
For Yu Ji, he made elixirs without restraint.
Don't look at how much money it costs to buy raw materials.
As long as Yu Ji refines Jiuwei Dihuang Pills and Lankou Divine Water.
The profit obtained is more than 10 times higher than the cost of raw materials!
The demand for these two elixirs and potions from wealthy families all over Lujiang is increasing day by day!
What man doesn’t want to make his waist stronger?
What woman doesn’t want her skin to be more supple?
Three robbers are not as good as one medicine seller.
Absolute words of wisdom!
It took Sun Ce more than two months to return to Longshu County.
The men and horses of Zheng Bao and other powerful men were successfully integrated into the Jiangdong Army.
Unknowingly, the total strength of Jiangdong Army exceeded the 10,000-strong mark.
Even more powerful than the Jiangdong Army during the period led by Sun Jian!
After these 2 months of precipitation.
Jiangdong Army completely established a foothold in Longshu and other three counties.
Tens of thousands of people now recognize Jiang Dongjun instead of others!
Including Wan County, where the Qiao family is located, Sun Ce already has 4 counties in his hands.
These counties are connected to each other and border each other.
A piece of land that was not too small was pieced together.
It occupies almost half of the entire Lujiang River.
Sun Ce reorganized his troops and deployed them.
Four generals, the two gatekeepers, Ran Min, and Yang Miaozhen, accompanied Sun Ce to guard Longshu.
Of course, there are also three counselors: Zhuge Jin, Yu Ji and Liu Ye.
There are more than 2,000 Jiangdong soldiers stationed in Longshu.
This included a 500-man heavy cavalry force.
During this period, with the efforts of Zhuge Jin and others.
Jiangdong Army's heavy cavalry expanded by more than 300 people, reaching a scale of 500.
Linhu County is still guarded by Zhou Yu.
Cheng Pu served as his lieutenant.
Sun Ce also transferred Xu Sheng and Chen Wu to Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu led them to garrison 3,000 troops in Linhu County.
Juchao County was handed over to Yue Fei.
Huang Zhong and Wei Yan served as Yue Fei's deputies.
Also lead 3,000 troops.
The two generals Huang Gai and Han Dang stayed behind in Anhui County.
Leading 2,000 soldiers and servants of the Qiao family, he was responsible for protecting the Sun family, Qiao family, Zhuge Liang and others.
For more than half a year, Jiangdong Army has been under the leadership of Sun Ce.
From nothing and poverty, it has rapidly developed to its current scale and is striding forward on the road to wealth.
I have to say it is a miracle.
Even the previous leader Sun Jian failed to achieve this level.
If this trend continues.
Perhaps it won't be long before the Jiangdong Army becomes a force that affects the entire Jiangdong.
Unfortunately.
The tree wants to be still but the wind doesn't stop.
Jiangdong's army grew stronger day by day, which aroused Yuan Shu's dissatisfaction.
He wanted to use Sun Ce's sword against Lu Kang, but he didn't want to see the sword in his hand beyond his control.
Of course, I don’t want Jiang Dongjun to continue to grow and develop.
So he sent someone to send a letter to Sun Ce.
He demanded in a tough tone that Sun Ce must defeat Lu Kang and capture Lujiang within 6 months!
This made Sun Jian scratch his head a little.
Attacking Lu Kang was impossible.
Sun Ce is not an ungrateful and blind wolf, so how could he attack Lu Kang, who was kind to him?
But the problem is.
Yuan Shu was powerful and held territory in more than 10 counties.
There are nearly 200,000 soldiers and horses under his command.
If you really want to compare with Zhen'er, Jiang Dongjun is far from Yuan Shu's opponent.
How to do it?
After Sun Ce, Zhuge Jin and others discussed.
Still decided to adopt Liu Ye’s suggestion.
First write a letter to Lu Kang and ask for his opinion.
Let's see if we can continue to sing a double act and temporarily deceive Yuan Shu.
It's just that Sun Ce's letter has just been written and he hasn't had time to send someone out yet.
Lu Kang's messenger arrived at Longshu County one step ahead of schedule.
Sun Ce opened the letter and read it.
Lu Kang actually told him to attack Shu County!
It turns out that Lu Kang is old.
Recently, my physical condition has been getting worse and worse.
Lu Kang, who was lingering on the sickbed, was worried about leaving Lujiang to others.
So he intended to let Sun Ce take charge of Lujiang.
But Lu Kang also knew that if he gave up Lujiang explicitly.
It will definitely arouse Yuan Shu's suspicion.
Maybe he would take advantage of Sun Ce's unstable foothold in Lujiang to send troops to attack.
In that case, the people of Lujiang would be tortured by the war.
Lu Kang didn't want to see this happen.
I wanted to change the double act with Sun Ce into a bitter meat trick.
Let Sun Ce legitimately enter Shu County by means of military conquest.
Then take over the entire Lujiang River.
The changes on Lu Kang's side completely disrupted Sun Ce's overall plan.
"Sigh... I didn't expect the old man's physical condition to be so bad."
"Gongyou, please put aside what you are doing and go to Shu County with the courier to see if you can do anything for Mr. Lao."
Yu Laoliang is not only good at alchemy.
His first skill, Taiping Qingling Dao, also has the miraculous effect of curing diseases and saving lives.
Skill effect:
Enter Taoism through medicine, and the medical skills and country management attributes will be increased by 5%.
Asking Yu Ji to go to Shu County to diagnose Lu Kang was the only thing Sun Ce could do for Lu Kang.
Yu Laoliang stared at Sun Ce's clear eyes for half a minute.
It was confirmed that Sun Ce was asking him to go and heal Lu Kang with all his heart, instead of doing other things.
I couldn’t help but sigh in my heart:
There are probably not many people in the world today who can keep the spiritual altar clear and clear in troubled times, and who are not obsessed with power.
Fortunately, Yu Ji followed the lord.
It is one of them.
