The news of Sun Ce being defeated and killed in Moling quickly spread.
Shouchun's Yuan Shu sat on the main seat, playing with the jade seal that Sun Ce had presented.
"My lord, I heard that Sun Ce defeated Moling and was killed!”Yang Hong smiled at Yuan Shu.
"Humph! Sun Ce was a child, so what if he lent him 3,000 soldiers? Did he think he could take down River East?”
"That Liu Yao has some combat strength and actually killed Sun Ce!”
Yuan Shu continued to play with the jade seal with disdain.
"That's right! He did not expect Liu Yao to have a son who could kill Sun Ce. It's a little beyond my imagination. With Sun Ce's martial strength, there was probably no one in the entire River East who was stronger than him!”
Yuan Shu sneered," I think Liu Yao set up an ambush to kill Sun Ce. How could his son have the ability to do so?"”
"My lord is wise. Should we send someone to subdue Liu Yao?”
"Let's not bother about Liu Yao for now. There are more important things to do next!”Yuan Shu looked at the jade seal and said thoughtfully.
……
Yanzhou Prefecture Overseer's Mansion.
Cao Cao sat on the main seat, while the civil and military officials stood on both sides.
When they heard the report from the scouts, they also knew about Sun Ce's defeat at Moling.
"I originally thought that with Sun Ce's ability, he would be able to subdue Jiang Dong. However, I overestimated him!”Cao Cao said.
"Cough cough!"
Xi Zhicai stood out. At this moment, his face was pale and his body was trembling unconsciously, as if his body had been hollowed out.
"Zhicai, are you alright? You're not in good health now. You have to take care of your rest!”Cao Cao looked at Xi Zhicai with concern.
Xi Zhicai followed him to war, and the talent he displayed was deeply loved by Cao Cao.
"My lord, it's fine. According to the scouts, it was Liu Yao's son, Liu Ji, who killed Sun Ce in front of the battle. This kid was amazing!”
"Liu Ji, I didn't expect Liu Yao to have such a powerful son."”
Xun Yu stood up and said,"Liu Ji has killed Sun Ce now. I think he will attack Jiangdong next!"”
"Very likely!" Cao Cao nodded.
However, the matter in River East did not have much to do with them for the time being, so it was fine to chat.
Now, they were concerned about what was happening in Chang 'an.
How's Chang 'an?" Cao Cao looked at Xun Yu.
"Currently, Chang 'an is still guarded by Guo Si and Li Jue. The two of them are fighting each other, and Chang' an is in chaos!”
"There's internal news that His Majesty has the intention of returning to Luoyang.”
Xun Yu reported respectfully.
Xi Zhicai's pale face revealed a smile.""Return to Luoyang? If His Majesty wants to leave Chang 'an, we can help him!”
"Oh? What do you think?" Cao Cao looked at Xi Zhicai with interest.
Xi Zhicai said slowly," If His Majesty really intends to return to Luoyang, Guo Si and Li Jue will not let His Majesty go so easily. His Majesty might escape. At that time, we can invite His Majesty to Yanzhou in the name of saving His Majesty. With His Majesty here, what will happen to the heroes of the world?"”
Cao Cao thought about it and immediately understood. He saw through it and nodded at Xi Zhicai with a smile.
……
After Liu Ji inherited the position of Yangzhou Overseer.
He stayed in Moling City while Liu Yao returned to Qu 'a to recuperate due to illness.
Looking at his father, Liu Ji wanted to find a way to cure Liu Yao's illness.
Although he had transmigrated in the future, he had also fused with the memories of this life. The relationship between father and son was also engraved in his heart.
At this moment, he placed his hopes on the system.
The system might reward him with a few Rejuvenation Pills if he completed the system mission!
Previously, he had received a reward for subduing Taishi Ci. Now, he could try to complete the mission given by the system to obtain a reward!
Moreover, now that he had the territory, he also had soldiers.
Since he had returned to the Three Kingdoms, he had to do something big.
Ding! [System Quest triggered: Retake River East. Reward for success unknown. Failure will not be punished!]
The system's voice sounded in Liu Ji's mind!
He had wanted to subdue Jiang Dong, but now that the system had given him a mission, he was even more determined.
Liu Ji also gathered the civil and military officials.
"Now that Moling has been pacified, it's time to deal with the outside world. I plan to further subdue River East!”Liu Ji said in a dignified manner.
Xu Shao was also the first to step forward, his eyes carrying a hint of ridicule."Prefecture Overseer, after the battle with Sun Ce, our soldiers are exhausted and have no time to recuperate. Moreover, the previous Prefecture Overseer was unable to subdue River East.”
"That's right! Prefecture Overseer, you have to think twice! If you can't win and are defeated instead, then the great cause your father gave you is very likely to be ruined.”
Ze Rong also stood out to agree.
"Of course I have my own way. I am informing you now, not listening to your opinion. The matter of subduing River East is imperative.”
Looking at Liu Ji's firm gaze, Xu Shao knew that the newly appointed Liu Ji was showing him his might. His own power would probably be slowly weakened.
Xu Shao met Liu Ji's gaze." I don't agree to subdue Jiangdong. You're ruining your father's foundation!"”
Liu Ji looked at Xu Shao indifferently." This is a chaotic world. It's an era where the strong prey on the weak. If you don't strengthen yourself now, then you'll be swallowed up by others!"”
"But…"
Xu Shao was about to speak when Liu Ji walked up to him."In the future, you don't have to come to discuss matters with me.”
As soon as he said this, everyone knew what was going on. Liu Ji wanted to remove Xu Shao's authority.
"Liu Ji, you're going to kill the donkey when you're done grinding!”
"What's there to talk about killing the donkey when it's done grinding? Did you make any contributions in the previous battle? He only knew how to sow discord! Men, bring Xu Shao down to rest."
Hearing Liu Ji's words, the soldiers also came up to take Xu Shao away. The latter had an angry expression and directly flicked his sleeves and left.
Seeing Xu Shao being taken away, Zuo Rong's expression was ugly. Knowing the consequences of angering Liu Ji, he immediately didn't dare to speak.
Liu Ji looked at Zhang Zhao, Taishi Ci, and the others.
"Do you have any objections?"
Zhang Zhao also stood up." My lord, I support your idea, but how do you plan to subdue River East?"”
Liu Ji nodded at Zhang Zhao.”
"Taishi Ci, listen up!"
"I'm here!"
Taishi Ci stood up and said firmly. Liu Ji had given him a chance to show off, and now he was loyal to Liu Ji.
"Take 10,000 soldiers to subdue Yan Baihu.”
"Understood!"
Taishi Ci cupped his hands and retreated.
"Jiang Qi, Zhang Ying!"
"I'm here!"
"The two of you will lead 20,000 soldiers to attack Wang Lang of Kuaiji!”
"Understood!"
Jiang Qi was also touched. They didn't expect Liu Ji to trust them so much, entrusting them with such a heavy responsibility as soon as they joined.
At this moment, Zhou Tai looked at Liu Ji and smiled foolishly."My lord, what about me?"
Liu Ji smiled at him.”
"Good!" Zhou Tai said firmly.
Liu Ji smiled indifferently." We'll split into three groups. We'll form a corner and conquer Jiangdong!"”
"Here!"
The soldiers shouted in unison.
At this moment, Zuo Rong looked at Liu Ji.”
"You can stay in Moling!" Liu Ji said indifferently.
He knew that Ze Rong was not a good person and was weakening his strength. If he dared to do anything, Liu Ji wouldn't mind getting rid of him.
" Alright..." Ze Rong looked depressed. He knew that Liu Ji was using him as a figurehead now...
Relying on Liu Ji's series of arrangements, Zhang Zhao was also very appreciative in his heart.
He had thought that his young lord was actually so wise and brave. He was really a genius!
Just as he was thinking. Liu Ji looked at him.
"Zhang Zhao!"
"Your subject is here!"
"I appoint you as the chief historian of Yangzhou and you will be in charge of Yangzhou's internal affairs!”
"Thank you, my lord!"
……
After assigning the tasks, everyone began to take action.
