After a long period of surprise, Chen Wen asked in a daze,"
"Qiao Rui, what did you say?"
"What do you think happened to the northern counties?"
Looking at Chen Wen's expression, Qiao Rui felt bitter and said,"
"My lord, the northern counties have all surrendered to Sun Jian!”
"Right now, Sun Jian is rushing toward our army!”
"Impossible!"
However, before he could finish his sentence, Chen Wen's old face had already turned extremely pale as he said,
"Impossible!
"In just three days, how could he make the northern counties surrender without a sound?”
"Our army has no news at all!"
"Even if he fought city by city, it would take at least half a month!”
He looked coldly at Qiao Rui and shouted angrily,"
"Qiao Rui, how dare you lie to me?"
When Chen Yu heard this, it was as if she had grabbed onto a life-saving straw. She hurriedly pulled Qiao Rui and said with certainty,
"Did General Qiao hear wrongly?"
However, it would have been fine if he hadn't moved. Qiao Rui immediately glared at Chen Yu and said,"
"It's all because of your good plan!"
When Chen Wen heard that it was related to Chen Yu, he immediately looked at her coldly and said,
"How is it related to him?"
When Qiao Rui heard this, she immediately gritted her teeth and said,"
"My lord, do you know how Sun Jian made the counties surrender?”
He pointed at Chen Yu and said,"
"It was this person who went to tell Sun Jian that the lord wanted to offer Yangzhou and handed over the silk book!”
"In the end, not only did Sun Jian not make a move, he even made a dozen copies of the silk book and sent a large number of spies. He told everyone that the lord wanted to offer Yangzhou!”
"Once this news spread, everyone thought that the lord had already decided to offer the province.”
"And that Sun Jian actually used this as an excuse to go around persuading the northern counties to surrender with our army's silk books!”
"The northern counties believed it to be true. How could they resist when they saw this silk book?”
"That's right. Sun Jian took down the northern counties without any effort!”
"Right now, Sun Jian has already formed an encirclement and is approaching our army in Shouchun!”
As he spoke, he said in a voice that sounded like he was crying blood,
"My lord, our army has no way out!”
However, before he could finish his sentence, he saw Chen Wen's face turn green and white. He looked at Chen Yu coldly and said,
"Is this the brilliant plan you mentioned?"
"What a brilliant plan!"
At this point, he no longer trusted Chen Yu.
Sun Jianjun hadn't discovered his plan yet!
If he hadn't discovered it, how could this have happened?
His every move was clearly forcing him to make a fake reality.
He was really offering Yangzhou!
Otherwise, these 30,000 troops would not be here to deliver, but to attack!
The current situation was even more dangerous than the direct transaction back then!
Chen Yu was stunned by the bad news.
Why was that?
Just what part of him had been exposed!
Didn't Sun Jian say that he would set off on the same day?
If Sun Jian was suspicious at that time, why did he still hold a banquet to entertain him?
Questions came one after another, causing his mind to be in chaos.
"Why exactly?"
"Why exactly?"
Chen Yu muttered, his heart filled with doubt.
However, at this moment, Chen Wen looked at Chen Yu coldly and said in a deep voice,
"Men, tie this person up!”
As soon as he finished speaking, four or five soldiers suddenly appeared in the hall and pounced on Chen Yu like wolves and tigers.
When Chen Yu saw this, his body trembled. He struggled and hurriedly raised his head.
"Old Chen Wen, what are you doing!"
Qiao Rui was also shocked,"
"My lord, what is this?"
However, when they took a look, they saw Chen Wen's old face was already filled with a gloomy expression as he said,
"Men! Seal the mouth of this scoundrel sent by Yuan Shu to sow discord and tie him up!”
"An 'er, bring my provincial governor's seal here. We will open the city gates and welcome Sun Polu to take over Yangzhou!”
After saying that, he looked coldly at Chen Yu and then walked out of the hall.
At this moment, Chen Yu, who heard Chen Wen's words, immediately stopped struggling. His face was already ashen.
Chen Wen's attitude was clear in just two sentences.
Chen Wen wanted to turn the show into reality and push him out as a scapegoat!
In his despair, he smiled bitterly and said,
"Old Chen Wen, you're really scheming…Sob, sob, sob.“
Before he could finish his sentence, his mouth was already covered with a rag.
......
Outside Shouchun City, Sun Jian's army had already arrived five kilometers outside the city.
Sun Jian took the lead, followed closely by Baili Ming.
As the northern counties surrendered, Sun Jian was already feeling proud of himself.
Jiujiang County had more than 500,000 people, and more than half of them were in the northern counties.
Now that they had taken over the counties, they already had half of their foundation!
As he walked, he smiled and said,"
"In your opinion, will Chen Wen offer the city directly?”
"Yes!"
Baili Ming smiled and said,"
"Chen Wen still hasn't sent out his troops, which means that he's most likely already made up his mind!”
"Our army only needs to wait for news!”
"Good!"
Sun Jian's heart calmed down when he heard this, and his eyes kept looking forward.
Now that they had taken over Jiujiang, they had already reached the final step.
Once Chen Wen made his decision, he would immediately receive the seal of the governor of Yangzhou and a complete Jiujiang as his foundation!
Jiujiang County was much better than his remote Changsha!
"Report!"
Just as Sun Jian was thinking about it, an order suddenly sounded,
"My lord, our scouts have reported that the gates of Shouchun City have been opened. The governor of Yangzhou, Chen Wen, is already waiting at the city gates with his subordinates!”
"He's here!"
Hearing this, Sun Jian's eyes lit up.
When the generals behind him heard this, they were all overjoyed and said,
"That old Chen Wen can't take it anymore!"
"This is offering the city!"
Sun Jian listened to everyone's words and couldn't help but smile. However, because of his previous record, he still turned his gaze to Baili Ming and said,
"Advisor Jun, what do you think about this time?"
Hearing this, Baili Ming smiled and said,"
"It must be true this time!"
As he spoke, he cupped his hands and said,
"Ming congratulates my lord!"
After receiving Baili Ming's affirmation, Sun Jian was completely relieved. He immediately ordered the army to move in the direction of Shouchun.
After walking for about an hour, they saw a towering city.
Below the city, there was a dense crowd of civil and military officials.
Before Sun Jian's army could arrive, Chen Wen had already dragged his old body and bowed,
"This old man, Chen Wen, welcomes Sun Polu!”
As soon as he said that, the subordinates all bowed and said,
"We welcome the general!"
Seeing this, Sun Jian hurriedly rode his horse over and helped Chen Wen up with a smile.
"There's no need to be so polite, Provincial Governor Chen!"
"Just wait for me in the city. Why do you need to go out of the city to welcome me?”
Chen Wen was helped up by Sun Jian. When he heard these words, his face darkened.
How could he not know that there was a hidden meaning behind Sun Jian's words!
But now that he was being held by Sun Jian, he could only smile bitterly and say,
"General Sun has come from afar. If you don't come out of the city to welcome him, how can you show your sincerity?”
As he spoke, he hurriedly shouted back,
"An 'er, quickly bring the seal of my Provincial Governor here!”
"Yes, sir! Father!"
When Chen An heard this, he hurriedly carried the tray to Sun Jian and knelt down shakily.
On the tray was a square seal and a silk book.
Seeing this, Sun Jian smiled at Chen Wen and said,"
"Provincial Governor, what is the meaning of this?"
Chen Wen hurriedly explained,"
"I have already said that I would invite General to come and hand over the position. Now that General has received the seal of the provincial governor, the position of provincial governor will be handed over to General!”
"I admit that I am old and am willing to retire and return to my hometown.”
As he said that, he fell to his knees with a thud.
"General, please accept the seal. This old man knows that only you can take charge of the six prefectures and eighty-one counties of Yangzhou!”
When Chen Wen knelt down, Qiao Rui led the civil and military officials to kneel down and said,"
"General, please accept the seal!"
"I'll take over the position of governor of Yangzhou!"
His voice resounded throughout the entire city. The people watching outside the city were all pointing and discussing curiously.
When Sun Jian saw this, a faint smile appeared on his face.
This Chen Wen had ultimately chosen to be less dignified!
He wanted to use these actions to exchange for his life.
As expected by the military counselor!
Immediately, he hurriedly helped Chen Wen up and said,
"Lord Chen, why must you do this?"
"Please get up!"
"I'll agree to this provincial governor!"
At this moment, Baili Ming and the other generals had already arrived on horseback. When they heard that Sun Jian had become the governor of Yangzhou, they were overjoyed.
Baili Ming dismounted and said,"
"Congratulations to the lord for taking up the post of provincial governor!"
As soon as he spoke, the generals immediately dismounted and said,"
"We congratulate the lord on his appointment as the provincial governor!”
At the same time, the three armies shouted in unison. Their voices shook the heavens and earth, scaring Chen Wen and his subordinates so much that their faces turned pale.
Sun Jian laughed loudly and hurriedly declined.
Seeing Sun Jian's joy, Chen Wen hurriedly said,
"Provincial Governor Sun, this old man will retire and return to his hometown.
"This…"
Sun Jian paused and was still hesitating when he heard Baili Ming come forward and say with a smile,"
"Lord, since Lord Chen wants to retire and return to his hometown, we will naturally agree!”
"In my opinion, the Lord should agree!”
When Sun Jian heard Baili Ming's words, he did not think too much about it and waved his hand.
"Forget it, you can go!"
When Chen Wen heard this, it was as if he had been granted amnesty. He hurriedly bowed to Baili Ming and said,
"Thank you, Mister!"
"Thank you, sir!"
But when Baili Ming saw this, he smiled and said,
"However, since Lord Chen wants to go, other than this provincial governor's seal, isn't there something else you need?”
Hearing this enigmatic question, Chen Wen was stunned at first, then his eyes revealed a hint of determination.
"There is such a thing!"
"Men, bring that spy from Yuan Shu's army here!”
Qiao Rui immediately understood and sent someone to bring Chen Yu, who was tied up like a dumpling.
As soon as Chen Yu arrived and saw Sun Jian, Baili Ming, and the others, he immediately began to struggle frantically.
At this moment, Chen Wen was focused on saving his life. He pointed at Chen Yu and said,
"General Sun, this person is Yuan Shu's spy. If we didn't investigate earlier, we would've missed the big event!”
"Fortunately, this person revealed his identity yesterday. Only then did we know that this person was a strategist under Yuan Shu and was plotting to harm the general.”
As he spoke, he said with a righteous expression,
"This person is up to no good. General, please kill him to make people happy!”
Sun Jian and Baili Ming immediately looked at Chen Wen with disdain.
No wonder this old fellow could become the provincial governor!
All these actions were completely like the actions of a shameless politician.
After a moment of disdain, Sun Jian looked at Chen Yu on the ground and said,
"How should we deal with Military Advisor?"
Chen Yu, who was lying on the ground, looked at Baili Ming with a hint of hope in her eyes.
But when Baili Ming saw this, he smiled and said,"
"My lord, have you forgotten? Didn't we say it before?”
"After this, I have to give Yuan Shu a big gift!”
"Isn't this gift right here?"
Hearing this, Sun Jian was stunned for a moment before he laughed out loud.
"Yes, yes, yes. If Military Advisor hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten about it!”
With a smile, he said coldly,
"Men, chop off this spy and send his head to Yuan Shu!”
"Yes!"
When the personal guards heard this, they hurriedly went forward and lifted Chen Yu up. As he struggled, they pushed him away.
Chen Wen breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Chen Yu had been killed and that Baili Ming and Sun Jian did not mention it again.
Now, his life was saved!
While he was rejoicing, Sun Jian and Baili Ming entered Shouchun together and officially took over Jiujiang Prefecture.
Sun Jian, who had been wandering around without anyone to rely on, finally had a place to settle down!
