After Sun Jian's army marched south, another day passed.
Yangzhou, Jiujiang County.
The county seat is located in Shouchun City.
In the Provincial Governor's Office, Chen Wen, who was close to sixty years old, sat on his high seat.
The civil and military officials under his command stood on his left and right.
At this moment, everyone, including Chen Wen himself, had a cold expression on their faces.
The atmosphere in the hall was extremely awkward. It was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
They were all waiting for the news of Chen Yu's return!
However, they had originally agreed to return in a day. Now, there was an extra day and he had yet to return.
Seeing this, a young man beside Chen Wen said with fear,"
"Father, did Chen Gongwei abandon us and escape?”
"Back then, he said with certainty that he would definitely be able to trick Sun Jian into coming here!”
"Could it be that he has been exposed and escaped? If that's the case, what should we do if Sun Jian attacks us in anger?”
This person was called Chen An, the only son of Chen Wen.
At this point, he looked at Chen Wen and complained,
"Father, your son has long said that Yuan Shu is unreliable!”
"That Sun Jian could even defeat Dong Zhuo, how can we be at ease if we provoke him?"
"Vile beast!"
However, before Chen An could finish his sentence, Chen Wen had already looked at him coldly and said in a deep voice,
"If you say such alarmist words again, drag him out and slap him!”
"This…"
When Chen An heard that, he immediately shrank back and covered his mouth.
"Sigh!"
Looking at Chen An's state, Chen Wen could not help but sigh slightly.
He had been a wise man for his entire life and had been an official for dozens of years.
How could she give birth to such a useless son!
Who do you think I took this risk for?
He could only blame himself for being muddleheaded and agreeing to Yuan Shu's request to go against Sun Jian!
Anyway, he didn't have many years left to live. It wasn't a bad idea to hand Yangzhou over to Sun Jian!
How could she be possessed!
Unfortunately, he had already done it, so he could only do it to the end!
Sighing, he looked at his number one general, Qiao Rui, and said,"
"Zihua, do you think what An 'er said will happen?”
Hearing this, a burly general stood up and cupped his hands.
"Lord, in my opinion, Chen Gongwei shouldn't have escaped. He won't have the chance to escape!”
"I heard that Sun Jian has a strategist named Baili Ruozhong. This person has sharp eyes and is good at analyzing strategies. This general is only worried that he will see through our strategy!”
"Once this person sees through our plan, Chen Gongwei will definitely die!”
"Chen Gongwei hasn't arrived yet, so I feel that it's very dangerous!”
When Chen Wen heard this, he frowned and said,"
"Then in your opinion, what should our army do?”
Qiao Rui hurriedly said,"
"Our army can send out scouts to investigate the movements of Sun Jian's army. At the same time, send out troops to lie in ambush on the outskirts of Shouchun to prevent the enemy from ambushing us!”
"Sigh, this was done!"
Chen Wen sighed again and waved his hand."
"If that Chen Gongwei doesn't return, Zihua, you can lead an army of 20,000 and go out of the city to lie in ambush!”
"Yes!"
Qiao Rui didn't say much and cupped her hands in agreement.
However, just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard a voice from outside the door.
" My lord, Mr. Chen is back!"
Hearing this, everyone in the hall was stunned. Following that, Chen Wen led the way, Qiao Rui and Chen An said happily,"
"Mr. Chen, you're back?"
Chen Wen immediately beamed and said,
"Quickly pass it on!"
"Yes!"
The man obeyed the order and left. In a short while, he brought Chen Yu in.
Chen Yu was dressed in brown, with a strand of beard floating in the air. He entered the hall with a smile.
Chen Wen saw his smile and felt much more at ease. He quickly smiled and said,
"Sir, did you succeed?"
Everyone raised their ears and looked at Chen Yu with great attention.
Seeing this, Chen Yu stroked his beard and smiled proudly. He immediately bowed to Chen Wen and said,
"I didn't fail you. Sun Jian was overjoyed when he heard that you wanted to hand Yangzhou over to him.”
"In his excitement, he pulled the external official to rest in the camp for a night before returning late!”
"If you cause the prefect to worry, I will be very afraid!”
His words were filled with confidence, and he immediately solved everyone's doubts.
"Hahahaha…"
When Chen Wen heard this, he stood up and laughed,"
"Sir is indeed a genius!"
As he spoke, he got off his seat and smiled.
"Yuan Gonglu is so talented that he needs Mister's assistance!”
After ingeniously roping in Chen Yu, he asked again,
"Then, in your opinion, can our army take action?”
"That's right!"
Chen Yu smiled and said,
"In my opinion, there is no time to lose. The provincial governor can order General Qiao to lie in ambush outside the city.”
"Sun Jian is just an ordinary person. He has just obtained a large province and is definitely not on guard. Once he enters the city, I can use a hidden arrow to kill him!”
"Once Sun Jian dies, the army outside the city will take advantage of the situation to attack. How can Sun Jian's army not be defeated?”
Hearing Chen Yu's words, the smiles on Chen Wen and the others 'faces grew wider.
When he heard that Sun Jian's army had been defeated, Chen Wen clapped his hands and said with a smile,"
"In this way, once Sun Jian is defeated, our army can use the excuse of dying at the hands of the rebel soldiers to wipe out everything!”
"Mister is really a genius!"
He looked at Chen Yu with burning eyes and sighed in his heart. How could such a talent be under Yuan Shu?
It was exactly what people loved!
Chen Yu smiled faintly at Chen Wen's praise.
He was already laughing coldly in his heart!
Did this old man really think that he was Yuan Shu's subordinate?
If Yuan Shu hadn't heard that Sun Jian had been praised as the governor of the state, he would have panicked and advised him to come. He had also promised to appoint Sun Jian as the governor of Xuzhou when he killed Chen Wen in the future.
Without this premise, who would be willing to take this risk with their reputation!
That Baili Ruozhong under Sun Jian was also a little too sharp!
If not for his alertness, he would probably have died two days ago!
Fortunately, Sun Jian didn't seem to notice!
Yangzhou should be saved!
With this thought in mind, Chen Yu cupped his hands and said,
"Since the provincial governor is fine, Yu will go down and rest first!”
"Everyone, please wait for Sun Jian to arrive!”
When Chen Wen heard this, he waved his hands and said,"
"Sir, you can go on your own."
When Chen Yu heard this, he immediately walked away slowly. However, he had only taken two steps when he heard Chen Wen's voice behind him.
"Mister, when will Sun Jian arrive?”
"If not tomorrow, then the day after tomorrow!"
Chen Yu said indifferently and had already drifted away. The corners of his mouth curled up as he said,
"Baili Ruozhong is nothing more than this!"
......
At the same time, Zhao Yun had arrived at Zhongli City with 3,000 cavalrymen. She raised her spear and said,"
"General, listen up. I'm under the new governor of Yangzhou, General Sun Polu!”
"I've been ordered to accept Zhong Li!”
"Quickly open the door. If you don't open it, don't blame me for being impolite!”
Although he only had 3,000 cavalrymen, he still had a strong aura. Hearing this, the general's expression changed drastically.
After a long silence, he quickly shouted to the city,
"Do you have any proof of what you said?"
Zhao Yun hurriedly took out the silk book that Chen Wen had sent over and said,
"Governor Chen's silk book is here. If you don't believe me, you can go up and take a look.”
When the general heard this, he said in a deep voice,"
"Someone come down from the city and take a look!"
After saying that, he fished the soldiers down the city and took the silk book to the city tower.
Holding the silk book, the general said to the county magistrate,"
"Magistrate, it really is Provincial Governor Fang Yin!”
"Recently, I've heard that Governor Chen has already given up his position to Sun Jian.”
The county magistrate looked at the silk book and pondered for a while before saying in a deep voice,
"Open the door!"
With a creak, the gate of Zhongli City opened.
When Zhao Yun, who was below the city, saw this, his square face was already filled with smiles!
Advisor Jun's move was really brilliant!
With a wave of propaganda, a silk scroll, and a replica seal, he could seize a city!
He really didn't dare to think of such a playstyle!
With this thought in mind, he immediately led the army to take over Zhongli County.
On this day, such a scene almost covered the entire north of Shouchun!
Yicheng, Zhongli, Dangtu, Ping 'a, Xiacai, Yinling, West Quyang.
Other than Shouchun, almost all the cities did not encounter any resistance!
When they saw the silk book Chen Wen had given Sun Jian, they did not think much about it and offered the city to the new provincial governor.
At the same time, the news that Chen Wen was going to give Yangzhou to Sun Jian was spread by the spies to the southern counties!
......
A day later.
In Shouchun City, Chen Wen's hand that was holding the document was trembling uncontrollably!
Finally, his anger reached its peak. He threw the silk book to the ground and glared at Chen Yu.
"Chen Gongwei, I want an explanation!”
"Didn't you say that Sun Jian was already here?”
"Now, not only has he not arrived, but the matter of me surrendering has already spread throughout the world. What do you want me to do?”
He looked at Chen Yu coldly, no longer as harmonious as before.
He had thought that everything would be fine after Sun Jian came, killed him, and covered up!
However, he never expected Sun Jian to be so calm as to publicize this matter!
Now, the entire Jiujiang knew that he was going to surrender. If Sun Jian died suddenly, he would be the biggest suspect!
He was already at this age, and he did not want to lose his chastity in his later years!
Therefore, at this moment, he wished he could kill Chen Yu with his eyes.
However, Chen Yu was not in the mood to notice Chen Wen's expression. His delicate brows furrowed together as he muttered,
"It shouldn't be. Sun Jian didn't come according to the rules!”
Didn't they say that he was a boor? How could he be so calm!
This result was really beyond his expectations!
However, he was not an ordinary person. In his surprise, he quickly cupped his hands and said to Chen Wen,
"Lord Provincial Governor, even so, we cannot be sure that the enemy has seen through this plan!”
"As long as we wait for Sun Jian, we will still have a chance!”
"You!"
Faced with Chen Yu's discrimination, Chen Wen's face turned red.
"Do you know that this book has already spread all over Jiujiang County? If I kill Sun Jian, how will I face the world in the future?”
When Chen Yu heard this, she immediately forced herself to say,
"Milord, we don't care about trifles when we achieve great things. Now that we've already set up a plan to ambush Sun Jian, although this matter is a secret, it's hard to guarantee that it will be exposed in the future!”
"What kind of person is Sun Jian? If I expose myself, I can escape, but where can Milord go?”
"It's better to go all out and strike first before Sun Jian finds out!”
When Chen Wen heard this, his face turned from red to pale.
So he had unknowingly walked onto a dead end?
For a moment, even with his shrewdness, he couldn't help but lower his head and ponder.
When Qiao Rui saw this, she quickly cupped her hands and said to Chen Wen,"
"My lord, the enemy has made such a strange move. I'm afraid they've already seen through our plan.”
"If we surrender now, there's still a chance!”
"If it had been a few minutes later, Sun Jian would have been difficult to deal with!”
When Chen Yu heard this, he immediately said coldly,
"Provincial Governor Chen, don't listen to this person's words. Did Milord forget what happened to Wang Rui?”
"Sun Jian is a ruthless person. He definitely won't let you off!“
Chen Wen's face fell when he heard the name Wang Rui.
When Sun Jian went north, he killed Wang Rui.
If they really knew that he dared to plot murder, how could they allow him to live!
His old eyes swept across Chen Yu's face and said,
"Are you sure that Sun Jian really didn't notice?”
At this moment, Chen Yu had no way out. He could only grit his teeth and say,
"I'm sure!"
When Chen Wen heard this, he did not say anything more. He looked ahead coldly and said,
"Qiao Rui, quickly follow the plan and prepare for the ambush!“
When Qiao Rui heard this, she turned pale with fright and said,"
"Lord, you can't!"
"Don't say anymore!"
Chen Wen's face was expressionless as he said in a deep voice,"
"Hurry up and go!"
"Sigh!"
When Qiao Rui saw this, she let out a long sigh and turned to leave.
Seeing that Chen Wen had made up his mind again, Chen Yu immediately smiled and said,
"Provincial Governor Chen, Sun Jian must still be watching. Our army cannot be impatient. Once he arrives, we can kill him!”
Chen Wen wanted to say something when he heard the sound of footsteps. The sound of " report " echoed throughout the hall.
Hearing this, Chen Yu quickly smiled and said,"
"It must be Sun Jian!"
As Chen Wen listened, a glimmer of hope finally appeared on his expressionless face. He looked at the soldier.
But the next second, the soldier knelt on one knee and said,"
"Report, our Jiujiang Prefecture's Zhongli County has surrendered to Sun Jian!”
"What did you say?"
Chen Wen and Chen Yu's eyes widened at first, and then their voices instantly raised by an octave!
They looked at the soldiers in disbelief.
Sun Jian didn't come?
What replaced it was a battle report?
Chen Wen glared at Chen Yu and shouted angrily,"
"Didn't you say Sun Jian would be here soon? Why did you go to Zhong Li?”
At this moment, Chen Yu was already stunned and did not know what to say!
However, at this moment, Qiao Rui rushed back into the hall with a pale face and shouted,"
"Lord, bad news!"
"Our scouts have reported that the northern counties of Shouchun have all surrendered to Sun Jian!”
"Right now, Sun Jian is leading an army of 30,000 toward Shouchun!”
Hearing this, Chen Wen and Chen Yu widened their eyes in disbelief!
All the northern counties surrendered?
How was this possible?
