Sun Ce spent a lot of effort.
After some hard talking, Mr. Qiao was calmed down.
It's not that Sun Ce doesn't want to marry Da and Xiao Qiao.
In fact, he had just occupied Shu County and had not yet completely pacified the entire Lujiang River.
The situation remains unstable.
Now is not the time to think about personal marriage.
If Sun Ce started this way, would the tens of thousands of Jiangdong troops under his command still have the heart to fight?
Everyone is thinking about what to do if they get a wife?
Duke Qiao also knew that what Sun Ce said was reasonable, so he no longer persisted in this matter.
However, when he returned to Wan County, he left Da and Xiao Qiao in Shu County.
Then he left without looking back.
It is very similar to the father-in-law who left his daughter to his future son-in-law in later generations, then turned around and left.
Sun Ce sent a small team of soldiers and horses to escort Duke Qiao, and then set aside two largest courtyards in the prefect's mansion.
There is a courtyard for two mothers and the children of the Sun family.
The other courtyard is for Diao Chan and Xiao Qiao to live.
Family matters have been settled.
Sun Ce focused his energy back on fighting.
Lujiang County has a total of 12 counties.
Including Shu County, where the government is located, Jiangdong Army has occupied 5 counties.
Most of the remaining seven counties are Lu Kang's old tribe, or they are members of the Lu family.
There are not many soldiers and horses in the county.
There is no need for Sun Ce to personally take action and send a few generals to walk around symbolically.
All 7 county towns are obtained.
What really gave Sun Ce a headache was the various things that happened after Lujiang was pacified.
Fortunately, Zhuge Jin, Yu Laoliang and Liu Ye were there to support them.
In fact, he shared a lot of burdens for Sun Ce.
It took more than a month to finally stabilize the situation in Lujiang.
The system delivered the task rewards on time.
"Ding!"
"Congratulations to the host for successfully occupying the entire territory of Lujiang County and completing the 'Restore Glory Series Mission' - 'Long drought brings nectar'!"
"Get the first step mission reward: SSS-level civil servant Wang Meng."
"After the host completes all series of tasks, he will receive the ultimate prize, come on!"
who?
Wang Meng?
The great man who assisted the former Qin Emperor Fu Jian to unify the north?
A famous politician or military strategist in history?
This is a werewolf!
A bit more ruthless than ruthless people!
The system is proof.
Civil servant: Wang Meng, courtesy name Jinglue (SSS level)
Age: 25 years old
Official position: None
Martial Arts: 23
Strategy: 95
Republic of China: 95
Managing the Army: 61

[Skill 5], Talents of generals and prime ministers: generals and prime ministers, versatile in both civil and military affairs.
The strategy value and the management value are both as high as 95. Isn’t this the standard for becoming a general or a prime minister?
Hey hey hey...
Sun Ce was left grinning and laughing.
The lack of talented civil servants is Jiangdong Army's biggest shortcoming so far.
After successfully recruiting Wang Meng, this shortcoming was instantly made up for!
"Ding!"
"The host has received the reward for the first step of the task and triggered the second step of the task: when the gold list was named."
"Choice 1: Self-proclaimed Lujiang Prefect. Reward: 1,000 sets of fish scale armor and 500 medium-sized war horses."
"Option 2: Go to Shouchun, gain Yuan Shu's trust in person, and Yuan Shu will report the host's military exploits to the court. Reward: 1 random SSS-level civil servant and general."
"Option 3: Stay the same in response to all changes and wait for Yuan Shu's recommendation. Reward: 1 random SSS-level civil servant and general, 1,000 medium-level horses."
Thinking about the three options given in the task.
Sun Ce felt that it was still necessary to go to Shouchun in person and meet Yuan Shu in person.
Yuan Shu definitely doesn't want Sun Ce to become the next Lu Kang.
He just wanted Sun Ce to be a knife in his hand.
If his guess is correct, Yuan Shu will most likely appoint his confidants to take over Lujiang.
Really bring Lujiang into your own sphere of influence.
Then he turned around and gave Sun Ce a title that was only in name and title.
This is not what Sun Ce wants to see.
After comprehensive consideration, Sun Ce chose the second option.
And it was immediately put on the agenda.
Early the next morning.
Sun Ce handed over Lujiang affairs to Zhou Yu, Zhuge Jin and others.
Then he left Shu County with two personal gatekeepers and Yan Yun's Eighteen Cavalry.
From Xiang'an County in the northwest of Lujiang River, it enters Jiujiang County.
Then rush all the way north to Shouchun.
While on the road.
Sun Ce found that the living conditions of the people along the way were very bad.
It's not even as comfortable as it was during the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
The reason.
It's still Yuan Shu's fault.
Yuan Shu came from the Yuan family of "Four Generations and Three Dukes".
I have never lived a hard life since I was a child, and I have no idea about the hardships of the people at the bottom.
After the crusade against Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shu took the opportunity to rise.
He suddenly became a powerful prince, and together with Yuan Shao in the north, he was known as the twin stars of the Yuan family.
He has no experience as a grassroots official and directly controls powerful forces.
Yuan Shu could no longer appreciate the hardships of the people.
Moreover, the Yuan family may be naturally dandy-minded by nature.
Whether it is Yuan Shao in the north or Yuan Shu in the south.
Surprisingly consistent and extremely enjoyable.
Half of the taxes collected from the land were to satisfy the two brothers' inhumane material life.
The burden on the people will naturally be heavier.
The Yellow Turban thieves just grabbed a handful and left.
Very few thieves will fight back.
But what about Yuan Shu?
He wants to rob the common people for the rest of his life!
What a vampire!
Sun Ce, who witnessed the hardship of the people living with his own eyes, became more determined about his future path.
Being poor means being alone.
If you achieve it, you will benefit the world.
Jiangdong Army is still in its infancy and does not have enough ability to help all the people in the world.
But at least, Sun Ce would never let the people of Lujiang suffer such humiliation!
A red warning line stretched across Sun Ce's heart.
Completely isolate him from Yuan Shu.
Sun Ce secretly made up his mind.
After this trip to Shouchun, we must seize the time to make Jiangdong Army stronger.
Completely get rid of Yuan Shu's interference!
When the time comes in the future, Sun Ce will lead the Jiangdong soldiers.
Stand on the opposite side of Yuan Shu.
With your own hands, pull this number one prince in the south down from the altar!
Walk all the way and see all the way.
Feeling emotional all the way.
Shouchun City finally appeared in Sun Ce's sight.
Sun Ce was instantly shocked by the majestic city in front of him.
Impregnable, majestic, magnificent...
All the words of praise that can be thought of are not enough!
Where is this county town?
It is clearly more magnificent than the imperial capital Luoyang that Sun Ce once visited!
No wonder the people along the way live in poverty.
The value of the wealth they produced may have been thrown into this city by Yuan Shu!
After gathering the financial resources of more than 10 counties, Yuan Shu built this Shouchun City!
Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong were also shocked.
"Oh my God, this city is too majestic, isn't it? Compared with here, our Shu County is just a shabby thatched house!"
"I'm afraid Shouchun can be ranked among the top five cities in the world."
Sun Ce rode Wu Zhui and passed between the two gatekeepers.
Said in a low voice:
"Let's go into the city!"
What he didn't say was that the future owner of this majestic city might not be who it is!
Four generations and three princes?
The prince and general Xiang Ning have the guts!
