After passing Jiangxia County, Guo Ye ordered Wei Yan to lead 20,000 troops to land on the north bank of the Yangtze River, and then captured Lujiang County and then headed north to occupy Hefei.

Dianman led his army of 30,000 to land in Danyang County on the south bank, and swept away the south of the Yangtze River, including Wujun, Kuaiji County, Jian'an County and other places. Guo Ye himself took the last 30,000 troops and continued to go east along the river. Destination: Jianye!

The autumn wind is bleak, the weather turns cold, Jianye City is in chaos, and the city gates are wide open, and what comes into view is a scene of chaos and chaos. All orders are in chaos. The origin of all this is the annihilation of 100,000 troops in Jiangdong in Yiling, and Guo Ye led 80,000 troops to fight over the world.

Jianye is located at the northern end of Danyang County, and news of the fall of major cities and counties in the southern part of Danyang County spread every few hours. Dianman led his army to an unstoppable force, or in other words, some yamen runners responsible for the security of the city could not resist the regular army. Almost all the counties where the Taiping Army passed by surrendered the city.

The river was surging, and the sound of war drums shook from the magnificent Yangtze River. The warships filled with flags slowly came into view. After a while, the warships docked and the energetic Taiping soldiers landed.

After Guo Ye landed, Zhang Yi brought a horse for him. Guo Ye turned over and ordered the 30,000 troops to set up a formation and advance towards Jianye.

Outside Jianye City, a group of Jiangdong civil officials stood outside the city, and Zhang Zhao, who was headed, held a surrender in his hand. This was written by King Sun Quan of Wu. At this moment, Sun Quan had already given up all unnecessary resistance.

The 30,000 troops were heading to Jianye under Guo Ye. The brilliance of autumn made people feel a little pleasant. Guo Ye rode on the horse and looked down at Zhang Zhao. At this time, he was qualified to be condescending, but after thinking about it, he turned over and dismounted, walked slowly to Zhang Zhao, reached out to take the surrender watch and opened it to read.

Surrendering to a young man in his early twenties is definitely a scandal of losing all face. Even Zhang Zhao, the important official appointed by Sun Ce, could not bear the face. With his eyes closed, he seemed to be in a state of meditation, and was actually ready to wait for Guo Ye's humiliation.

Success and defeated the enemy, Sun Quan was defeated, and Guo Jia was defeated. Such a simple and clear fact declared a turning point in the fate of millions of people.

"The Duke does not need to be too polite. He was ordered to come to the west without intention to kill. He was both moral and talented. He assisted the Sun family in governing Jiangdong for twenty years. He was virtuous and had orderly ruled under the rule, which was very popular. He had a heartless request from the subordinates. There was still chaos in the six counties in Jiangdong in a short time. I dare to ask the Duke to clear Jiangdong and bring peace to the world."

The words from Zhang Zhao's ears made him suddenly open his eyes and stare at Guo Ye, who looked calm and had no strange colors in front of him. However, Gu Yong behind Zhang Zhao seemed to have been calm as if he had predicted it. Others whispered and caught him off guard. Read h-u-n-mix*h-u-n-mix*small-shut-network

Please remember

Why is Guo Ye so polite to Zhang Zhao? Whether it is the title or words, they all reveal a bit of humility and respect. Did Zhang Zhao collude with the enemy in advance?

impossible.

Even though Zhang Zhao always disagreed with Jiangdong's decisive battle with foreign enemies when the Jiangdong disaster was about to face, it was also a reason for this.

Zhang Zhao was an important official of Sun Ce. Sun Ce’s last words were clearly stated on his deathbed, giving Zhang Zhao a room for surrender or bringing the Sun family to compromise.

Then why should Guo Jia's eldest son, now the prince, be so polite to Zhang Zhao? Logically, Zhang Zhao's important internal affairs minister should be the person who was the first to be replaced after Guo Ye captured Jianye, in order to prevent accidents.

In this regard, Zhang Zhao, who was covered in white hair, couldn't figure out what Guo Ye was going to do.

Guo Ye stepped forward and held Zhang Zhao's arm, and said sincerely: "My father said that the one who manages Jiangdong is as meticulous as a starting point, the public must be the one who comes to Jiangdong. To be honest, when you come to Jiangdong, you are an outsider. If you are not careful, you may make a big mistake. Will the public be willing to see Jiangdong destroyed by war?"

Zhang Zhao's face was complicated. After thinking about Guo Ye's words carefully, he felt very heavy.

The Taiping Army swept across Jiangdong. They were "invaders" to Jiangdong, and they could even be said to be unscrupulous. It is foreseeable that the conflict with the people of Jiangdong is very likely to trigger a massacre.

Since Sun Quan had surrendered, Zhang Zhao had no room for resistance with these civil officials, but he only hoped that the Taiping Army would not poison Jiangdong.

"I understand the prince's intention."

Zhang Zhao finally spoke without giving up or agreeing. He was going to go to the next level first to see the effect.

Guo Ye nodded solemnly. He understood what Zhang Zhao meant, and at least he had to see how he treated the Sun family and talk about something else.

Everyone gave way, and Guo Ye led his army into the city. When the people fled in panic on both sides of the road saw the arrival of the Taiping Army, they immediately ran away. Wherever Guo Ye passed, there was a moment of silence, and only the heavy and orderly footsteps of the Taiping Army were heard.

Sun Quan stayed in the Wu Palace. Not long after his name was changed, he rose from a marquis to a lord. Sun Quan stood in a more glorious position than his father Sun Jian and his brother Sun Ce, but was disillusioned in the blink of an eye.

The Taiping Army swarmed into the royal palace, and the palace was empty and bleak.

The door before the lobby was closed, and the Taiping Army had already evaporated the inside and outside the palace. Guo Ye, who was full of armor, stood in front of the lobby and wanted to push the door in, but he pressed his hand on the door panel but stopped. He turned his head and looked at Zhang Yi, who was slightly green but with his head raised and his chest was solemn.

“Get out.”

Zhang Yi protected his heart and asked back, "Where may be an ambush inside?"

“Get out.”

Guo Ye paid any attention to his problem and ordered indifferently.

Zhang Yi pressed the handle of the knife backwards. If any incident occurs, he immediately drew his sword and rushed in.

Scream

Guo Ye pushed open the door of the lobby with both hands, and the light shone into the outside, illuminating the floor in the hall. The depth of the light was in the middle of the lobby, where there was a solemn gray-black coffin.

The lobby was empty, Guo Ye stepped in and looked up. There was a person sitting in the main seat, dressed brightly and neatly. Sun Quan, wearing a crown, looked very calm. He was kneeling and straightened his back and held a sword in his hand.

"Not even Guo Ye, pay homage to the King of Wu."

Guo Ye respectfully bowed to Sun Quan, although after he bowed, Sun Quan's vision would be blocked by the coffin.

"Hmph, it turns out that you have the same father as your son. At this moment, the first move you saw Gu was not drawing a sword. But Guo Ye, when you met Gu, you carried weapons with your arms, this sincerity was really limited."

There was no soldier or soldier around him, but Sun Quan was still not angry and his mightyness was extraordinary.

Guo Ye stood up, untied the sword around his waist and turned around and threw it away, and threw it outside.

Turning around again, Guo Ye stared at Sun Quan with expressionless face and said lightly: "My father asked me to tell the King of Wu with a word. Two tigers cannot be withheld in one mountain. The Guo and Sun families must have a family that withdraws from the stage of fighting for dominance. Now my father is lucky enough to win, but please let the King of Wu give up success or failure. Our army will not kill the Sun family. The title of King of Wu is reduced to a marquis, passed on to his descendants, and enjoy wealth forever."

After saying that, Guo Ye bowed respectfully again, stepped back, stood outside the door, and closed his eyes and waited.

Sun Quan knelt on the main seat, and he already understood what Guo Jia meant.

He must die, but the Sun family can be preserved.

Is this a condition to negotiate?

Absolutely not.

This is the command.

Irresistible.

Guo Ye stood outside the door to leave the last dignity of Sun Quan, the King of Wu.

If the Taiping Army were asked to take action, Sun Quan might not be able to accept it himself.

He slowly pulled out the sword, and a cold light suddenly appeared. Sun Quan reached out and brushed the sword, closed his eyes and sighed.

"Father and brother, I am ashamed of the Sun family."

The sword tip flew across his throat, and Sun Quan leaned over and fell on the table, blood dripping, scarlet and dazzling.

Guo Ye opened his eyes and turned around and left. At the same time, the civil officials in Jiangdong ran over, crying loudly, and screaming that the King of Wu rushed into the lobby.

The Taiping Army has occupied Jianye City, and the order in the city is gradually recovering, but it looks more like martial law, with people closing their doors and no one on the road.

Guo Ye stood outside the gate of the palace, closing his eyes and listening to the crying sounds coming from the palace.

About an hour later, Zhang Zhao, who was crying in tears, and Gu Yong, who was also in tears, walked out.

"The Sun and Wu tribes removed all their official positions and moved them back to Wu County to enjoy the marquis' food and salary."

When Guo Ye faced these two people, he straightforwardly told the arrangements for the Sun family.

Sun Quan is the banner of the Sun family. When he died, it is difficult to find a successor who can achieve success. The Wu family, which has made outstanding contributions to the Sun family, must also suppress and restrict it.

Although Zhang Zhao was in a very sad mood, Guo Ye's words still made him bow to him gratefully. Guo Jia did not kill him all, and it was already a perfect ending. It was a good ending for him to put both the military generals and civil officials of the Sun and Wu families.

As long as the people of these two tribes do not make trouble and make mistakes, they can live a wealthy life with considerable income, and the heroes fail to fight for dominance in the world. What else can they demand in such an ending?

In this way, Zhang Zhao eliminated all worries. In order to prevent the Sun family from failing to compete for the world, Sun Ce reminded Zhang Zhao to surrender in order to protect the Sun family. Now, Zhang Zhao has fulfilled Sun Ce's last order.

If you want to quickly settle the six counties in Jiangdong, if you have Zhang Zhao's help, you will definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort. Whether in the officialdom or the civilians, Zhang Zhao is well aware of these situations.

Gu Yong, who was beside him, sighed in his heart: Guo Jia, took another step forward in the chess.

In the jurisdiction of Zhang Zhao, Zhang Zhao knew everything from the officialdom to the money, grain and taxes of Jiangdong. With Zhang Zhao, Guo Jia could calmly deal with the turbulent situation in Jiangdong after Sun Quan's death.

Just as Guo Ye and Zhang Zhao were discussing how to transition this situation smoothly, a fast horse galloped on the road to the right of the royal palace. The horse was wearing green clothes, with an anxious expression. It was Lu Xun.

Guo Ye was surprised that Lu Xun would appear here, and Lu Xun dismounted in front of the palace. Without looking at Guo Ye, he rushed straight into the palace. Half an hour later, Lu Xun walked out with tears on his face.

"Boyan, my father often talks about you. Jiangdong has produced heroes since ancient times, and you are the leader of this younger generation. The Sun family in Jiangdong has withdrawn from the world to fight for hegemony. As if they are overturned today, only Cao Wei will survive. It is better to assist my father and create a new prosperous age together!"

Guo Ye walked to Lu Xun and said this straight to the point.

But Lu Xun was not grateful. He looked up and sneered, saying, "I'll go to Cao Pi, with my family background, and it's no problem to have a single official or a half position. Why do you have to go to your Guo family to beg for mercy?"

Guo Ye looked heavy and asked back: "One official and half of your position? Your family background? Under Cao Pi's rule, how many people have ancestors who were three ministers and nine ministers? How many can you rank? How many descendants can you rank? With your talent, you should be an important minister, but if you go to Cao Wei, you will be limited forever, and your descendants will be the same. Are you willing?"

Lu Xun sneered even harder and said, "So what?"

Guo Ye stretched out his hand and said sincerely: "Boyan, together with me, change this distorted world with his own hands."
