Zhou Tai was not good at speaking, and after Ling Cao said this, he stood there, muttering and muttering for a long time before he could put this sentence in his mouth. He saw him sitting there and muttering, "I didn't have lunch, so I was weak all over!"

After hearing this, Ling Cao sneered in his heart and shouted disdainfully: "You and I are both martial arts practitioners, how could you not know that you will lose faster after eating!"

Zhou Tai's face turned red when he was talking, and Zhou Yu, who was beside him, was thinking about the idea of ​​surrendering Zhou Tai. This is why he was very powerful. Zhou Yu had all the sights of the battle in the water just now. There was nothing more convincing than seeing it with his own eyes.

After thinking for a while, Zhou Yu saw that Zhou Tai seemed honest and not good at speaking, and immediately smiled and said, "Does Zhou Zhuangshi have the word "express"?"

Zhou Tai replied in wonder: "Of course, I am Zhou Tai, and the name is Youping!"

Zhou Yu came forward in person and was about to untie the rope for Zhou Tai, but Ling Cao hurriedly stopped him. Ling Cao heard him exhorting: "Mr. Zhou Tai is very good this time and is comparable to me. In my opinion, it is better to tie it up, so as not to hurt you if he takes action!"

Zhou Yu shook his head slightly, continued to untie the rope for Zhou Tai, and said, "Brother Youping, I don't think you are a very evil person, how could you be so immersed in such a situation?"

Seeing Zhou Yu untied himself, Zhou Tai was moved. His lips squirmed a few times, and finally sighed and replied: "Oh, I was from Xiacai, Jiujiang. If the officials had not robbed, bandits, and water thieves were rampant in the countryside, causing the family to suffer and not be able to eat, who would have come out to do such a business?"

It turned out that Zhou Tai was also from a poor family. It was because there were many siblings in the family and his parents were afraid of not raising them. This allowed Zhou Tai to make a living by himself, saving him from starving to death at home.

Zhou Tai was strong and honest, honest, straightforward and very likable. At a young age, he followed the people of all over the countryside to fish and make a living. However, the good times did not last long. The court's tyrants and miscellaneous taxes became heavier, and several of Zhou Tai's brothers and sisters starved to death.

It was the climax of the Yellow Turban outbreak. Zhou Tai and his friend Jiang Qin decided to go into the water to become a bandit, and simply started a business of licking blood from the knife.

After hearing Zhou Tai's heartfelt complaints, Zhou Yu said indignantly: "Brother Youping doesn't know that there are many officials like this in Jiangdong. My lord Sun Ce just can't bear to have to endure the exploitation of evil officials after the disaster. Then he sent troops to quell the chaos and was ready to return the people of Jiangdong. Brother Youping is very skilled in martial arts and is also from a poor family. Why not fight with us and use the sword in his hand and the sword in his palm to create a peaceful and prosperous era?"

Zhou Tai said ashamedly: "I have heard of what Sun Taishou did in Wu County in the past few years. He is really a good official. Forget it, since he has been defeated by General Ling, then I, Zhou Tai, will surrender. In the future, the hundred kilograms of flesh will be handed over to Sun Taishou."

Seeing that Zhou Tai was willing to surrender, Zhou Yu was very happy and asked him to gather his subordinates. In the end, he recruited more than 800 subdued bandits, ten battleships, more than 100 small warships such as crafts, and several ships of food, grass and other supplies, which was a great harvest.

After subduing Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai recommended Dong Xi, a Kuaiji native, to Sun Ce. Dong Xi, whose name is Yuan Dynasty, is very burly and has extraordinary force. Compared with Zhou Tai, he is not distinguished.

At this point, the five generals under Sun Ce were Xu Sheng, Ling Cao, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin and Dong Xi. As the results were spread, some of Sun Jian's former old subordinates gradually returned to Sun Ce's tent, just like Wu Jing, Zhu Zhi, Sun Ben and others.

Speaking of Wu Jing and Sun Ben, they also have some relationship with Sun Ce. They were Sun Ce's uncle and Sun Ce's cousin. When Sun Jian first died, Sun Ben suggested that Sun Ce join Yuan Shu, but Sun Ce decisively refused, obeyed Zhou Yu's words, and occupied Wu County. From then on, the two brothers also had a gap.

Now, Sun Ce has captured most of the land in Yangzhou, and it is a time when talents are urgently needed. Those people have gradually returned to the Sun family, just because they are going back and Sun Ce is honest and Zhou Yu is afraid of conflicts between words, so he asked Sun Ce's uncle and Wu Jing to come out to help.

Today, all counties and dozens of counties in Jiangdong know the name of Sun Lang.

On this day, Sun Ce brought Xu Sheng and Zhou Tai and Zhou Yu to the outside of Shu County.

These days, the Lu family in Lujiang County did not make any moves. Zhou Yu naturally saw this strange phenomenon, so he guessed that the Lu family wanted to surrender. However, the Lu family was really deep in Lujiang County, and ordinary people could not understand each other. So Sun Ce decided to come in person and visit him.

Sun Ce and his party dozens of people blatantly walked into Lujiang County.

When Lu Kang learned that Sun Ce had come in person, he specially sent his son Lu Yen to greet him.

Looking at the Lu brothers with different styles, Sun Ce's heart was ups and downs, because the Lu family had too many talents. Even if Sun Ce owned most of the land in Jiangdong and had tens of thousands of soldiers under his command, he still had to rely on the Lu family's breath.

The Lu family originally intended to surrender, but when they saw Sun Ce, they naturally would not put on any airs. Lu Yan respectfully introduced Sun Ce and others to the home, allowing him to meet the Lu family's leader, Lu Kang.

After seeing Lu Kang, Sun Ce hurriedly said, "Prince of Wu County, Sun Ce, pay homage to Duke Lu!"

Lu Kang is already in his twilight years. At this time when the Lu family decided on a major event, Lu Kang still showed the family character deep in his heart.

Seeing that Sun Ce was the first to speak, Lu Kang knew that Sun Ce had fallen behind. He smiled faintly and said, "Premier Sun is not in Wujun's management area. What's the point of doing when I come to Lujiang?"

Sun Ce laughed and said, "I was recommended by General Cavalry. At the beginning of this year, he was named the governor of Yangzhou by the emperor. Inspection of Lujiang was originally the responsibility, so why did Mr. Lu ask me like this?"

It turned out that since Liu Yao was killed, Sun Ce had written to Yang Fan and asked him to express his reputation as the governor of Yangzhou. When Yang Fan saw that Sun Ce had already exposed his fangs, he followed the boat, as Sun Ce wanted and praised his heart.

Lu Kang was stunned when he heard this. He learned from Liu Yao that Sun Ce did not have any appointment as the governor of Yangzhou. At this time, Sun Ce said it again. This behavior immediately aroused Lu Kang's displeasure, and then said in a deep voice: "Oh? The court has appointed Prefect Sun as the governor of Yangzhou? Why don't I know? Could it be that Prefect Sun, you have conferred it on yourself!"

Sun Ce took out the governor's seal and appointment document from his arms, and asked Lu Yan to hand it to Lu Kang for inspection.

After realizing it, Lu Kang was extremely surprised and thought to himself that in just over a month, Sun Ce received the emperor's appointment document. It can be seen that Sun Ce and Yang Fan had an extraordinary relationship. At this moment, Lu Kang even made up his mind to hold his head.

Thinking of this, Lu Kang quickly stood up and solemnly said to Sun Ce: "The prefect of Lujiang County, Lu Kang, have met the governor of Sun!"

How dare Sun Ce accept Lu Kang's visit? He immediately stood up and helped Lu Kang up, and said with a smile: "Hey, Mr. Lu must not do this. Although my official position is above you, you are an elder after all, so don't give this great gift in the future!"

Lu Kang smiled and said, "I don't know what Governor Sun wants to see? I can let the people below lead you there."

Seeing that Lu Kang was full of officialdom, Sun Ce was not good at taking advantage of the situation, so he frequently winked at Zhou Yu, intending to make him speak out.

But Lu Kang had a good attitude, as if he was a low-ranking official, and he looked like he was following Sun Ce's leader. Even if Zhou Yu was quick-witted, he didn't know how to speak to Lu Kang. After all, the Lu family had a lot of resources, not only Sun Ce, but even Yuan Shu, Liu Bei and others were staring at him. As long as there was a little chance, they would be besieged like flies.

For example, Zhou Yu felt that Lu Kang was not unaware of the situation today, but was pretending to be crazy and stupid to them. The reasons for this were nothing more than two points. First, the Lu family was still waiting for the price to be sold and unwilling to express their opinions; second, the Lu family was waiting for Sun Ce to speak first, so they could set aside the price.

No matter which point it is, it is very unfavorable to Sun Ce.

Seeing Sun Ce at this time, Zhou Yu organized the language in his heart and asked Lu Kang: "Next Zhou Yu, I have met Mr. Lu, but I wonder how Mr. Lu thinks of the world today?"

When Lu Kang heard this, he knew that the show was coming. He replied slowly: "Oh? Zhou Junzhu can become the right-hand man of governor Sun at a young age, and his future is limitless! As for Zhou Junzhu's problem, this world is of course the Liu family's world, and the country is also the country of the Han family. The question Zhou Junzhu asked really makes me puzzled! Could it be that Zhou Junzhu has any other understanding? Why don't you talk about it to open my eyes?"

Lu Kang is a mature person, and he speaks and does things well. This hand makes Zhou Yu feel like he is using force on cotton.

Zhou Taixin's new recruitment in Sun Ce was urgently needed to show this. Even a honest man like him could understand this. But Lu Kang was talking about it. Not only did he not comment, but he also wanted others to say it first. When he saw Zhou Yu being frozen there, Zhou Tai said in a muffled voice: "Premier Lu, I don't agree with what you said. Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Han Dynasty has been in turmoil, and then Dong Zhuo led his troops to Beijing, which has trampled the majesty of the Liu family to an end. Look, this Yu

Yuan Shu, Xuzhou Liu Bei, Yanzhou Cao, who are the officials personally appointed by the emperor? Who has the final say? Now, my lord has four counties in Yangzhou, with more and more wings and more abundant soldiers and food. To the west, you can invade Jingzhou, attack Liu Biao's old man, and avenge the old master; to the north, you can compete with Yuan Shu, Liu Bei and others for the Central Plains; to the south, you can also be involved in Jiaozhou. Everyone says that Mr. Lu is a wise man in the world, so you can't see that the world has lost its deer, right?"

Everyone in the venue was shocked to hear this. Sun Ce, Zhou Yu and others were surprised by this Zhou Tai. They usually looked honest and unthinkable. When this critical moment came, they all spoke to the point. And the Lu family all showed strange expressions, and they showed their ambitions in front of outsiders. Isn’t this obviously asking the Lu family to make this choice in public?

Lu Kang smiled bitterly several times, glanced at the man who seemed to be honest, and felt extremely helpless, and thought to himself, you have said this in public, wouldn’t it just give the Lu family two paths?

After thinking about it, Lu Kang said in embarrassment: "Governor Sun has great ambitions, and I can't wait, but..."
