"Haha. (Novel Network)" Liu Feng laughed.

Now not only has Shouchun been obtained, but Liu Kuan has also agreed on behalf of Liu Xun to guard Shouchun for a while. Everything has been perfectly resolved.

Six counties.

Although these six counties are a little longer and narrower, and the defense range is a little larger, they are indeed six counties. And what makes people proud is that these six counties are not counties in the same state.[

It is a county in three states.

Hanzhong belongs to Yizhou, Shouchun belongs to Yangzhou, and the rest belongs to Jingzhou.

The new wild forces can be said to have spanned three states. They accomplished all this in a short period of time, which was something Liu Feng never thought of.

It is worth rejoicing.

The gratifying things are not limited to these. The reason why Liu Xun made up his mind to defect to Xinye was because he defeated the princes from all directions and captured Hanzhong.

It can be said that enemies such as Cao Cao, Sun Ce, and Liu Cong single-handedly promoted this incident.

If this group of people knew that if they beat him, they would not kill him, but they would gain the second county, they would definitely be angry to death.

Happy, happy.

………………………

Wu County.

Sun Ce withdrew his troops from Linhuai and retreated all the way back to Wu County, the heart of Jiangdong.

This battle was a heavy loss for Sun Ce. His troops were lost, Zhou Yu's troops were lost, and the crucial Linhuai was lost.

Not only did the hegemony fail to grow, it actually retreated.

At the critical moment, Zhang Zhao died again.

After returning to Wu County, Sun Ce had no time to feel sad, angry or regretful. He smoothed away the sadness, anger and regret in his heart and began to take care of Zhang Zhao's funeral affairs.

Whether it was choosing a burial place or conducting a funeral, Sun Ce took care of it all. This was Sun Ce's consideration for his veteran minister who had followed him for many years.

In addition, Sun Ce was also busy selecting talents to replace the deceased Zhang Zhao. The people Sun Ce selected were Gu Yong and Zhuge Jin.

Although these two people are very young, they are both very talented.

During Zhang Zhao's absence, the two of them handled various matters in Jiangdong properly, which relieved a lot of the burden on Sun Ce's shoulders.[

On this day, Sun Ce was reading in the study of Wuhou Mansion. Instead of reading a book on war, he was reading Han Feizi instead.

During this battle, Sun Ce finally realized his shortcomings and began to think about running the country.

"Wu Hou."

Not long after, Zhuge Jin walked in and paid homage to Tao.

"What's the matter with Ziyu?" Sun Ce put down the bamboo slips in his hand and asked. Now was not the time to do something, Sun Ce was a little surprised.

"The spies under my account found a strong man in Jiangxia. His surname is Gan and his name is Ning. He is a brave general." Zhuge Jin reported back.

"Oh?" Sun Ce raised his head, a little surprised. Since Zhuge Jin said he had courage and general strategy, it must not be simple.

After Zhang Zhao's death, Sun Ce felt that there was a shortage of talents under his command, so he ordered Zhuge Jin to establish a system for finding talents, including some spies.

There is no need to do anything, just walking around and wandering west to find talents for Jiangdong.

During this period, Sun Ce also acquired many talents. This Gan Ning was not the first one.

"Then recruit him." Sun Ce said with a smile.

"No." Zhuge Jin stopped him after hearing this.

"Why?" Sun Ce frowned.

"Although Gan Ning has outstanding abilities, he also has an arrogant personality. We should not send ordinary unknown people there. The minister should go there in person to lobby for entry into Jiangdong."

Zhuge Jin said.

Sun Ce felt that he was overkill. Zhuge Jin was now an important minister in Jiangdong, so he went to Jiangxia to recruit a talent.

There are ** copies.

But Zhuge Jin's expression was very solemn and his eyes were very firm.

This completely cleared Sun Ce's doubts. This Gan Ning must have attracted Zhuge Jin's attention. He might be a talented general.

"Okay, Ziyu will go there."

Sun Ce ordered.

"Promise." Zhuge Jin was overjoyed and agreed.[
