Chapter 854 (1/2)

Under the guidance of Tai Shici, Zhang Xian finally met Zhou Yu. As soon as he met, although Zhou Yu was young, he had an inexplicable demeanor and heroic temperament all over his body.

”I'm Zhang Xian in Changsha to see governor Zhou.”

”Hehe, governor Zhang, please get up quickly.”

Zhou Yu lifted Zhang Xian to his feet with a smile and said with a smile, ”Liu Biao was not from the south of the Yangtze River, but he stole the high position of animal husbandry in Jingzhou and extorted money from the people in the south of the Yangtze River

Zhang Xian praised: ”Jiangdong sun's righteous deeds have been heard of for a long time.”

”Ha ha, I'll go into the city and talk about it.”

Zhou Yu took Zhang Xian's hand and walked into the city of Linxiang. After some conversation, Zhang Xian finally agreed to Sun Quan's accession to Jingnan.

Zhang Xian, the county of Changsha, was the leader of the three counties in Jingnan. Since Zhang Xian has been subdued, it has become much easier to persuade the other two counties.

After persuading Zhang Xian, Zhou Yu immediately sent taishici to take Sun Quan from Yuzhang County, and left taishici to guard Yuzhang county to guard against Cao's attack.

Taishici is now the leading general in Jiangdong army, and Cao's army occupies most of Jiangdong. Only when taishici guards Yuzhang can Zhou Yu be relieved.

Outside the city of Changsha, Zhou Yu, Zhang Xian and the generals of Jiang Dong army were waiting outside the city.

In the distance, more than 1000 military horses escorted a carriage slowly, with a red water Unicorn flag on it.

”The Lord is here. I'll meet him in person.”

A group of generals headed by Zhou Yu welcomed Sun Quan's chariots and horses into Linxiang City, and Sun Quan's safety was finally guaranteed.

”The Lord, if you want to own Jingnan and win the support of Jingnan army and people, you have to rely on these gentry in Jingnan. I hope the Lord can open some preferential policies to them.”

Zhou Yu gave Sun Quan a hand.

Sun Quan nodded and said calmly, ”Gongjin, please.”

From the governor of Yuzhang County, he became the leader of Jingnan. However, Jiangdong army was not strong enough. If he wanted to get Jingnan, he had to pay some price.

”These clans are allowed to own private soldiers and purchase some land from the poor...”

every time Zhou Yu said a word, Sun Quan could not help frowning. In fact, Sun Quan had much to rely on when he was in Jiangdong. The four most famous clans in Jiangdong are Zhu Lu, Gu and Zhang. These families provide private soldiers to support the sun clan in Jiangdong in military and political terms. In exchange, Sun Quan appointed the younger generation of the four families as officials, such as Gu Yong and Zhu Huan.

However, the demands of Jingnan gentry were too much. They almost became independent small kingdoms one by one.

”My Lord, it's only a matter of time before we can clean up these gentry as long as the army is still in the hands of our army.” Zhou Yu spoke to Sun Quan in a deep voice.

Sun Quan pondered for a while and sighed: ”OK, promise to come down, but they want to show me as the governor of Jingnan!”

In the spring of the sixth year of Jian'an, Jiang Dong army, who was dormant in Yuzhang County, suddenly attacked Liu pansuo's headquarters which was besieging Linxiang city of Changsha County from behind. They cooperated with the garrison in the city and defeated Liu pansuo's headquarters and successfully occupied Changsha County.

In April, the prefects of Changsha County, Lingling county and Guiyang county jointly went to the imperial court and denounced Sun Quan as the governor of Jingnan.
