In mid-April, news of Dong Zhuo's death came from Chang 'an. Zhao Xin thought that the general direction of history had not changed. This was very beneficial to him, indicating that his next goal of entering Jiangdong was more feasible.
At this time, Cao Cao defeated the Black Mountain Army in Dongjun and gained 20,000 troops. Cao Cao led his troops to attack Sui Gu and defeated Sui Gu with 20,000 troops. He also attacked the Xiongnu in Neihuang and defeated the Xiongnu. His momentum was great. Cao Cao devoted all his efforts to managing Dongjun, Puyang, and other places. He learned from Zhao Xin and opened a recruitment hall. Cheng Yu, Yu Jin, and others came to join Cao Cao. Cao Cao had 50,000 to 60,000 troops under his command. From then on, his power gradually became stronger.
Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan also stopped fighting. Yuan Shao began to focus on governing Jizhou, while Gongsun Zan extended his tentacles to Youzhou, plotting to seize Liu Yu's Youzhou land and control the entire north.
At this moment, Guo Jia came to see him and brought Sun Jian's old friend to see Zhao Xin.
Seeing Zhao Xin, Sun Jian's subordinates Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, and the others came up and said in unison,""Greetings, Great General! "
Zhao Xin thought to himself," Your lord Sun Jian was killed, and you came to join me in defeat. I am your lord, but you call me Great General. Isn't this obvious that you don't want to submit to me?" I still have to feed you guys with good wine and meat. Isn't it a big loss for me? Thinking of this, I'm very unhappy.
Seeing Zhao Xin's gloomy face, the Sun family's generals did not dare to speak.
Guo Jia saw that Zhao Xin was obviously unhappy and couldn't help but be surprised. He didn't know what was going on, but when he thought about the details just now, he suddenly understood and couldn't help but be dissatisfied with the actions of the Sun generals. Guo Jia didn't have much friendship with them, but seeing that they had made Zhao Xin unhappy, he couldn't be bothered to speak up for them.
Seeing that Guo Jia was still beside him, Zhao Xin was afraid that Guo Jia would feel awkward, so he said to Guo Jia,"Fengxiao, go back first! Guo Jia was very grateful when he heard Zhao Xin say this. He was the one who brought them here in the end. Now that the situation was awkward, he quickly left.
Zhao Xin said to the old generals of the Sun family,"Generals Huang, Cheng, and Han have known each other for a long time. As for the others, please introduce them to me. " Cheng Pu quickly introduced the others. They were Sun Ben, Zhu Zhi, and Lu Fan. Zhao Xin said faintly,"It's not a big deal to meet you today. I just wanted to ask you what your plans are for the future." "
Zhu Zhi saw that Zhao Xin's tone was not right and hurriedly said,"In the future, we will naturally follow Great General to make contributions. "
Zhao Xin said,"I don't have any strong points. As long as you follow me wholeheartedly, I will not treat you badly in the future. However, if someone wants to play tricks under my nose and is half-hearted towards me, I will not be lenient." He looked at everyone and said,"I heard that the eldest son of X Wen Tai, Sun Ce, Sun Bofu, is already nineteen years old and has great ambitions. I wonder what will happen to you if I face Sun Bofu in the future?" "
Everyone was impressed. It was only Sun Ben's idea to join Zhao Xin, and Sun Ben was only using Zhao Xin as a springboard to train Sun Ce's army. Therefore, everyone was fine with it. In their hearts, if Sun Ce were to cause trouble in the future, everyone would naturally join Sun Ce.
Zhao Xin looked at everyone's stunned expressions and knew that everyone was thinking of him as a sucker like Yuan Shu. In the Three Kingdoms, it was said that Yuan Shu treated Sun Ce very poorly. Zhao Xin thought that Sun Ce and Sun Jian's old subordinates had planned this. When Sun Ce became an adult, they found an excuse to pull him out. Only an idiot like Yuan Shu would fall for it. Although Sun Ce said that he was borrowing troops and even used the jade seal as collateral, the world was already in chaos at that time. Even the emperor was just a chess piece in the hands of others. This jade seal was only useful to people like Yuan Shu who had the ambition to claim the throne. Although the Han Dynasty was in decline, the world was still the Han Dynasty's world in name. If anyone publicly opposed the Han Dynasty's world, everyone would probably treat that person as a delicious meal to eat. As soon as Yuan Shu became emperor, he was destroyed by others. Sun Ce also contributed to this.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xin said," How about this? I won't force you. If you are sincere in following me, you have to be loyal to me. If not, I won't make things difficult for you. You can go and seek refuge with Sun Ce. I will give you a few days to consider. Go and think about it first." "
After a few days, everyone came to see him. "Have you made up your mind today?" asked Zhao Xin. "
"We are willing to follow the Great General to the death," the generals said in unison. "
Zhu Zhi stepped forward again and said,"Great General, Sun Polu has treated us very well. We have thought about it for a few days and have come up with a plan. We can serve the Great General without making Sun Bofu our enemy." "
"Tell me," said Zhao Xin. "
Zhu Zhi said,"Sun Bofu is young and brave. He can be used by the Great General. We have recruited Sun Bofu to serve the Great General together. What do you think?" "
Zhao Xin thought to himself," You guys want to play tricks, but why don't you learn? You still call me Great General. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance that you've brought Sun Ce here. Isn't it the same plan as before?" It's just that the method is different. When you find an excuse, won't you just leave? You're looking down on me too much. So he said,"This is a wonderful plan. Then call Sun Bofu over." "
Everyone was filled with joy as they bowed to Zhao Xin and left.
In May, news came from Chang 'an that Cai Yong had been imprisoned by Wang Yun.
In Zhao Xin's residence, Zhao Xin said to the anxious Cai Yan,"Yan 'er, don't worry. I'm sure Wang Yun and the others won't treat my future father-in-law badly. I'll send someone to Chang' an to ask them to hand him over." After comforting Cai Yan, Zhao Xin said to Diao Chan beside him,"Chan 'er, accompany your sister Cai Yan well. I'll go and do this immediately. "
At Zhao Xin's office, Zhao Xin summoned Guo Jia and said,""Fengxiao, how dare Wang Yun and the others imprison Mr. Cai Yong? What do you think we should do about this? "
"My lord, I'm afraid I'll have to call you father-in-law after some time," Guo Jia said with a smile. "
Zhao Xin said,"Fengxiao, let's talk about this later. Let's settle this matter first." "
Guo Jia said,"I'm afraid the lord is too worried. Now, the lord only needs to send a letter and they will obediently release him and send him to the lord." "
Zhao Xin said," That's right. Why didn't I think of that? Fengxiao, your brain is still better. How about this, Fengxiao? You will write this letter. The wording must be tougher. You must let them know that I, Zhao Xin, am not someone who can be easily offended." "
"My lord, I'm afraid you've gone around in such a big circle just to get me to write this letter!" Guo Jia smiled bitterly. "
Zhao Xin laughed and said,"Fengxiao is really getting more and more powerful. He can't hide such a small matter from you." "
In Chang 'an, Wang Yun called Lu Bu and the others to discuss. "Zhao Xin from Runan sent a letter asking us to release Cai Bo and send him to Runan. What do you think we should do about this?" Wang Yun asked. "
Lu Bu said,"Regarding the matter of Cai Bo, from the moment we imprisoned Cai Bo, we have already greatly humiliated Zhao Xin. Now that Zhao Xin is willing to let it go, we naturally can't wait." "
"Now that the rebels Li and Niu Fu have led hundreds of thousands of troops to attack Chang 'an," said Wang Yun,"we might as well take Cai Boyu hostage and ask Zhao Xin to send troops to help us. What do you think of this plan? "
Lu Bu said,"You don't have to worry about these bandits. I'll go out of the city tomorrow and kill them all." "
Li Su said," This plan is very inappropriate. I'm afraid it will anger Zhao Xin. Now Chang 'an is in troubled times. We shouldn't offend Zhao Xin." "
When Shi Sunrui heard Wang Yun say such words, he was afraid that his stubborn temper would flare up again. He could not change his mind for a while and said," How about this, we first release Cai Bo, send someone to monitor him, and then send someone to inform Zhao Xin that there are many bandits outside Chang 'an City and the situation is chaotic. We invite Cai Bo to stay in Chang' an for a period of time. When the situation stabilizes, we will send someone to send Cai Bo to Runan. In this way, Zhao Xin will have nothing to say. What do you think? "
"Lord Pushe, this is a wonderful plan. We will do it this way," said Li Su. "Wang Yun had nothing to say.
In Runan, after Guo Jia showed Zhao Xin the letter from Chang 'an, Zhao Xin flew into a rage and said,""These bastards, I gave them face, but they didn't take me seriously at all. They said that the road was unstable, and they wanted to detain Mr. Cai to threaten me. Wang Yun, one day I'll let you see my power! "Fengxiao, what do you think we should do now?" "
"Lord, I originally thought that this matter could be settled with a letter, but now it seems that I still have to think about it carefully." After pondering for a moment, he said,"My Lord, since they say that the road is unstable, we'll send a team to pick them up and see what they say." "
"Fengxiao, don't you know that this is just an excuse?" Zhao Xin asked. "
"My lord, it's precisely because this is their excuse that we can send people to shut their mouths." At that time, even if the lord wants to fall out with them, the reason will be on our side. "
Zhao Xin said," Mm, Fengxiao, what you said makes sense. Since that's the case, Fengxiao, go pick 300 people and write a letter to thank them for taking care of Elder Cai these days!" "
After Guo Jia left, Zhao Xin was extremely distressed. These days, Cai Yan had been thinking about it day and night, and her entire person had become thinner. The last time he comforted her, he had boasted, but he did not expect that this matter would actually not be completed. He did not know how to face Cai Yan when he went back.
When they arrived at the residence and saw Cai Yan, Cai Yan came up and asked again,""Big brother, is there any news today? "
Zhao Xin couldn't bear to lie to her and said," Yan 'er, don't worry. Chang' an has already released your father. However, Chang 'an has been a little restless these days. They were afraid that the road would be unsafe, so they didn't send your father to Runan. But don't worry, I've already sent hundreds of people to Chang' an to pick up your father. I think there will be news soon." "
Cai Yan felt much more at ease and said to Zhao Xin,""Big Brother, thank you so much. It's been hard on you these days for this matter. "
Zhao Xin said," Yan 'er, do you still need to thank me? You've lost a lot of weight these days. Do you know that my heart aches when I see you? If you want to thank me, then you should happily wait for your father to come every day. Eat more food every day and chat with Chan' er every day. That way, I'll be at ease." "
Cai Yan said,"Big Brother, you can rest assured, I will listen to your words." "
Zhao Xin said,"That's right. Otherwise, when my future father-in-law comes to Runan and sees you like this, he will think that I've mistreated you. At that time, I'm afraid I'll be taught a lesson." "
Cai Yan said,"How could that be? My father also admires you very much." "
Zhao Xin said,"This has nothing to do with appreciation." He paused for a moment and said,"Yan 'er, after we bring your father here, we'll settle the marriage. What do you think? "
Cai Yan was greatly embarrassed and buried his head, unwilling to speak. "Yan 'er, if you don't say anything, it means you agree." "
Cai Yan said anxiously,"How could he agree?" Zhao Xin said,"I don't know how strong I am as the Pingnan General. If you don't agree, when the time comes, if it is snatched away by others, I'm afraid it will be too late for you to cry." "
Cai Yan said angrily,"You dare!" Zhao Xin put his arm around Cai Yan's shoulder and said,"Of course I wouldn't dare, but Yan 'er, if you want to control me quickly, then you should have agreed earlier! "
Seeing that Cai Yan's mood was a little better, Zhao Xin could not help but become happy.
