Yang Hong and Zhang Xun, both civil and military, can be regarded as two very important figures among Yuan Shu's subordinates and generals. Sun Quan had stayed with Yuan Shu in the past, so he had naturally dealt with them both. Although he was not too close, he knew something about them. Especially Yang Hong. Yang Hong has always been a pro-Sun Ce faction under Yuan Shu. When Sun Ce fell out with Yuan Shu and Yuan Shu wanted to attack Jiangdong, it was Yuan Shu who was dissuaded by Yang Hong.
Therefore, Sun Quan would not be surprised that Yang Hong and Zhang Xun came to vote. With Yuan Shu currently in a desperate situation, it would be strange for his subordinates not to secretly consider the future.
However, although Sun Quan was not surprised, he was still quite surprised, because after all, Yang Hong and Zhang Xun were no different than the others. They were important figures under Yuan Shu. If they were not really desperate, they would usually not leave Yuan Shu. Is it possible that Yuan Shu was still preparing to resort to deception when he was desperate? Even if Yang Hong and Zhang Xun really pretended to surrender and planned a small Guangling, which was about to be attacked by Lu Bu, what significance would it have to Yuan Shu? Is he specifically making himself uncomfortable?
Sun Quan thought about it and didn't think there was any problem. In the end, he believed that Yang Hong and Zhang Xun had really come to join him. The sudden appearance of such a new force will be very powerful for Sun Quan's next plan! Otherwise, with Sun Quan's current manpower in Guangling, it would still be very difficult to secure the city and defeat Lu Bu.
"Where are they now? How many people did they bring?"
With excitement, Sun Quan couldn't help but ask.
"This..." The young general who came to report looked a little embarrassed, but he still answered honestly, "In total, there should be three to five thousand people, but most of them are the old, weak, sick, disabled and family members. .When these people came over, they were very miserable, as if they hadn’t eaten for a long time.”
"Hmph! What kind of defection is this? This is simply an escape!" Wu Jing immediately snorted coldly, and his face, which had been excited just now, suddenly turned gloomy again. This is not a help in times of need, but another group of dragging people.
At this time, Sun Quan's face also looked a little bad. He didn't care about raising these thousands more people, but it was too different from what he had expected at the beginning. One second I was on the verge of reaching the peak of my life, and the next second I was back to the bottom.
Sun Quan thought for a while and said,
"No matter what, Yang Hong and Zhang Xun are both talented people. Now is the time to employ people, and they have turned their backs on the dark side, so we have no choice but to accept them."
"Of course there is no problem in accepting Yang Hong and Zhang Xun. But these people all hold high positions under Yuan Shu. Now that they are here with us, they will inevitably be a little squeamish. Zhongmou, I think it is better for me to go and take a look first. You don't have to do it for the time being. It's best to come forward." Wu Jing said immediately.
"My uncle is right." Sun Quan nodded, "Then this matter will trouble my uncle."
Wu Jing hugged Sun Quan and left immediately.
Sun Quan silently watched Wu Jing's leaving figure and sighed secretly in his heart. Sure enough, the Jiangdong nobles all subconsciously had a xenophobic mentality, and even Wu Jing, a close relative of the Sun family, could not avoid this kind of thing. Once outsiders come and establish a foothold, they will compete with them, the original elders, for interests. Especially for people like Yang Hong and Zhang Xun who hold high positions of power in their old employers, you can't just arrange for a minor official to come over, right?
If Zhang Xun and his two men really came to surrender with heavy troops, then Wu Jing wouldn't be able to say anything. But now that the two of them came to surrender in dire straits, it would be inevitable that they would add insult to injury. Let me first rub your nerves and let you know your current situation and status. Naturally, you are embarrassed to raise any too high demands. You can just find a position according to your duties.
I have to admit that it is really difficult to win the world. The external enemies are becoming stronger than the last, and internal contradictions are also emerging in endlessly. Think about Cao Cao in history. Externally, he grew up in the cracks and even defeated Yuan Shao with a small number and a large number. Internally, he had countless political enemies, including Emperor Xian, who was always trying to assassinate him. It is really not easy for Cao Cao to succeed in this situation!
Just when Sun Quan was still lamenting that it was difficult for him to deal with such a close relationship, Wu Jing unexpectedly came back soon.
"Yuan Shu is dead!"
Before Sun Quan could ask, Wu Jing gave the answer. As soon as he was convinced, he immediately came back to report this important matter to Sun Quan, without giving any thought to imposing authority on Yang Hong, Zhang Xun and others.
"Dead?" Sun Quan was stunned and asked quickly, "How did you die?"
In his opinion, even if Yuan Shu reaches the end of his rope, he should be able to survive for a year and a half. Although I haven't paid much attention to the changes in Yuan Shu's side recently, isn't this development too fast?
"Cihang Jingzhai's hand." Wu Jing replied in a low voice.
"...I see." Sun Quan narrowed his eyes, "Under the protection of the Demon Sect, Cihang Jingzhai can also succeed. That little girl Shangguan Di is not easy either."
"I heard that the Demon Sect also suffered heavy losses this time." Wu Jing looked at Sun Quan and said. He understood that Sun Quan also had some connections with this Demon Sect.
Sun Quan's eyes flashed, and he felt worried for no reason. Then he shook his head and pushed this worry to the back of his mind.
"So, Yang Hong and Zhang Xun didn't abandon the dark side and join the bright side, but they switched over because Yuan Shu's regime was gone? Then why didn't they just stay in Shouchun?" Sun Quan said a little strangely. Staying in Shouchun, not to mention self-reliance, no matter which princes attack in the future, if you take the initiative to open the door and surrender, the ending will be much better than now, right?
"Today's Shouchun is occupied by people from the Demon Sect. Zhang Xun and Yang Hong couldn't cope with it, so they were kicked out as a last resort." Wu Jing replied, paused, and suddenly said, "However, if it was just Zhang Xun and Yang Hong, that's fine, as far as I know, many of the people who came here this time are from the Yuan family." Wu Jing reminded Sun Quan.
"Zhong Mou, in my opinion, Zhang Xun, Yang Hong and others can be taken in, but Yuan Shu's relatives and family members must not be kept. Yuan Shu committed a major crime of rebellion, and the three Yi tribes are considered minor. Just be afraid. Cao Cao deliberately caused trouble and said that we are harboring the traitors, but that is unreasonable and unexplainable!" Wu Jing said to Sun Quan.
Sun Quan glanced at Wu Jing and said seriously,
"Uncle, one cannot be ungrateful, let alone unfaithful. I know what you are worried about, but it is precisely because of this that I must take in the Yuan family!"
Wu Jing was worried that because Sun Quan's wife was a lady of the Yuan family, he felt sympathy for the Yuan family. But in Sun Quan's view, it is precisely because of this that he wants to protect the Yuan family. This is Sun Quan's promise to Yuan Yuan, and it is also his responsibility as a man!
That's right, Sun Quan is just protecting his shortcomings! He is nepotistic! This is not only reflected in Yuan Yuan, but also in Wu Jing. Otherwise, Sun Quan would not have just acquiesced in letting Wu Jing give Yang Hong and Zhang Xun power.
