Sun Quan has a suspicious character, and it is not easy to win his trust.

After repeated analysis and derivation, Lan Tian finally asked Hu Ke to adopt methods such as raising first and then suppressing, showing loyalty, playing hard to get, etc.

In fact, the risk involved is very high. Once Sun Quan kills for no reason, all subsequent strategies will be useless. Fortunately, Zhang Zhao assisted at the critical moment.

Zhang Zhao was actually very helpless. The Huaisi faction pushed for many overseas expansions, whether it was Jingzhou, Jiaozhou or Hefei, but all ended in failure. This made the conflict between them and the Jiangdong gentry more and more serious. It felt very uncomfortable to be under the influence of others.

Yes, Zhang Zhao just wanted to leave a way out.

When Sun Quan saw that Hu Ke did not refute anymore, he thought that the other party had been directly convinced. Thinking of this, he was actually a little proud while twirling his purple beard.

"I don't care whether you are Yu Xiu or Hu Ke. As long as you are willing to be loyal to Jiangdong, you must have a big tree. If you want to achieve something, you must have a big tree. After all, Shi Xie is old and cannot protect you for the rest of your life." Sun Quan continued.

advice.

Hu Ke hesitated for a long time, and finally said slowly: "I want to think about it..."

"It's okay to think about it. There's no one around here to think about. I'll come back in a few days." Sun Quan said and turned to leave.

Hu Ke cupped his fists and bowed lightly without saying anything. He knew that something would happen if he agreed readily just now, because Lan Tian said that this was not in line with Sun Quan's "personality", and he would be very suspicious if he got something too easily.

Sun Quan has not yet lifted his doubts about Hu Ke. In the conversation in prison just now, he was testing each other's words. This is very familiar to a veteran who is well versed in politics. He is still waiting for the details of the other two to go to Jiaozhi.

Only after multiple confirmations can we decide whether to keep Hu Ke or not.

After all, being able to be reused by Shi Xie and still able to survive under Lan Tian's hands, Xi Zuo still had some means. When Sun Quan left, he ordered the prison chief to take special care of Hu Ke for the time being. In addition to not continuing to torture, he also had to pay attention to his diet.

full.

Zhang Zhao was still waiting when he returned to the palace. He asked Sun Quan expectantly: "My lord, what did Yu Xiu say?"

Sun Quan replied nonchalantly: "Yu Xiu said that we should think about it."

Zhang Zhao frowned and said, "My lord, you condescended to condescend, but this guy doesn't know what's good or bad? Such a person who is ignorant of current affairs will not be able to accomplish anything big even if he is subdued..."

"Zi Bu and I have exactly the opposite views. He is loyal to his old master Shi Xie and does not want to betray him at will. Such righteous men can set an example for the officials in Jiangdong." Sun Quan said meaningfully.

In the ninth month of the golden autumn, the spy sent by Sun Quan to Jiaozhi returned to Jianye and finally found out all the details about Hu Ke.

Sun Quan heard that Hu Ke was quite strategic, and was highly valued and appreciated by Shi Xie and Shi Hui. Finally, Shi Xie was worried that Lantian would annex Jiaozhi, so he sent Hu Ke to the South China Sea to monitor, which made Shi Hui very angry.

That's why Sun Quan's careful work can find the entry point.

Sun Quan once again came to the cell to persuade him to surrender. There was no news from both sides for nearly a month, as if there had never been an agreement before. Sun Quan was quite satisfied with Hu Ke's actions.

When we met again in prison, Hu Ke was in much better spirits than the last time we met because the food had become better, and his cleansed face became less disgusting.

"Have you thought about it?" Sun Quan asked.

Hu Ke nodded and said: "I can play for Jiangdong, but I must meet one condition."

"Tell me and have a listen."

Sun Quanxin said that there are conditions for this. This is the first time I have seen him in all my years. Do you really think you are as talented as Lu Zijing?

Hu Ke said quickly: "Wei Yangong has been kind to me. If I decide to serve Jiangdong today, can I help the young master return to Jiaozhou?"

Sun Quan asked playfully: "What do you think? My right-hand general Wei Ziqi was innocently killed, and Shi Yan was not executed. It is considered my kindness."

Hu Ke swallowed his saliva after hearing this: "Then can I take care of him in the future? You see, the eldest son is already in his sixties, and he really doesn't have much time left to live..."

Most of the Shi's family lived long lives. Sun Quan thought that Shi Ren didn't know how long he would live, but leaving him in Jiangdong would be of great use to him, so he responded with a smile: "Know your kindness and never forget your master, and I will naturally help you."

"

Hu Ke was so excited that he knelt down and knelt down, clasped his fists and shouted: "I, Yu Xiu, have finally met the Master of the Ming Dynasty. From now on, I am willing to go through fire and water for him without hesitation."

Seeing that Hu Ke surrendered to him, Sun Quan asked the jailer to open the cell door, and then asked someone to take Hu Ke to bathe and change clothes.

Hu Ke went on a "business trip" to Jiangdong and was in jail before he started working. But now he finally managed to see the moonlight after the clouds cleared. He took a shower and changed clothes before entering the palace to see Sun Quan.

Because he is a professional soldier, Hu Ke has a tall and strong figure. After changing out of his prison uniform, he looks particularly energetic. Not only does his eyes look charming, but he also walks boldly and with dignity.

"The last general has met my lord." Hu Ke looked at Sun Quan and saluted with his fists clasped.

Sun Quan was very happy to see Hu Ke's rebirth. He smiled and said, "Let me introduce to you. This is Zhang Zibu, my Jiangdong military advisor..."

"I have admired the name of military advisor for a long time." Although Hu Ke was worshiping Zhang Zhao, when he compared him with Liu Bei's military advisors, he was still a judge of superiority.

Zhang Zhao bowed his hand in return and asked hesitantly: "I don't know what to call..."

Just as Hu Ke was about to answer Zhang Zhao, Sun Quan quickly interrupted and asked: "You called yourself Yu Xiu in Jiangdong, and you called yourself Hu Ke when you were in Jiaozhou. What on earth..."

"My original name was Yu Xiu, also given the courtesy name Zicheng, and I was born in Jingzhao. When Li Jue caused trouble in Chang'an, my family fled south to Jingzhou where all the people died. I changed my name to Hu Ke from then on. Later, when Cao Cao went south, he moved to Jiaozhou in order to survive.

He went down and started sailing and doing business, and finally he was appreciated by Duke Wei Yan in Jiaozhi, and he kept using the name Hu Ke. The Lord knew what happened next..." Hu Ke explained.

After hearing this, Zhang Zhao nodded and said: "Rhetoric establishes sincerity, then sincerity should be famous in Jingzhao?"

"A person with a low level of cultivation should be from a poor family..." Hu Ke lowered his head and clasped his fists, looking a little uncomfortable.

Seeing this, Sun Quan comforted him: "Ze Cheng, don't belittle yourself. There are many children from poor families in Jiangdong. As long as you work hard, you will get ahead."

"Thank you, Lord." Hu Ke clasped his fists.

"What does the Owl Sect Zicheng want to do when he comes to Jiangdong?" Zhang Zhao asked curiously.

Hu Ke was stunned for a moment, and then explained: "General Lan built a new city of Guangzhou next to Panyu. The city is larger than Chang'an, but the population is very sparse. There are desolate open spaces everywhere in the city, so he printed

To promote the 'Impression of Guangzhou' to attract people from other states and counties to go..."

Sun Quan snorted coldly: "Owl is a complete idiot. He may not be able to take away the people even if he robs. What's the use of relying on these despicable methods? I think he still wants to use my hand to murder Zecheng's life."

"I feel scared when I think about it now..." Hu Ke followed Sun Quan's words.

Sun Quan frowned, "I have read the "Lingnan News" that Zecheng mentioned. Owl likes to use this method the most, and it is the same against me and Cao Cao. Thinking about it, it is really hateful. This person is treating me Jiangdong.

With such hatred, I must find a way to grasp the trends in Jiaozhou. If I don’t know, can you give me some tips?"
