What is both soft and hard?

For Zhou Yu, it’s just a carrot and a stick.

All people in aristocratic families have to pay for money and food, and those who don’t pay for the money will search their homes!

Of course, these are all big sticks, and carrots are real things: official positions!

That's right, the aristocratic family has provided manpower, material resources and financial resources. If this war is compared to a company, then all the aristocratic families will become shareholders. Zhou Yu's move is to tie the Jiangdong aristocratic family together.

Of course, this is not easy, and Zhou Yu naturally knew that if he was given a month or even longer, he would never consider using this domineering method.

But now there is not much time left!

Zhang Liao stationed troops in Xiakou and was always eyeing Xiakou. Liu Bei lost Jiangling, which also means that Liu Bei could no longer resist Cao Cao's army. Cao Cao's army was very likely to attack Jiangdong with all its might. At this moment, time is life, and Jiangdong has no time!

Although Zhou Yu did not have the surname Sun, his feelings for Jiangdong were actually no less than Sun Quan.

This was once the place where he and Sun Ce dreamed of setting sail, but unfortunately...

Zhou Yu shook his head and decided not to think about this. He raised his head. At this moment, there were already many people standing in front of Zhou Yu.

Cheng Pulu Meng Xu Sheng Gan Ning...

This small room carries the present and future of Jiangdong.

Zhou Yu knelt on the seat cushion, but his eyes were shining with strange light.

Tonight’s Chaisang, no, it’s Chaisang these days, and it won’t be too peaceful.

"Everyone, before that, I and the gentry had already given an ultimatum. They wanted them to hand over all their private soldiers and food within three days. If they don't hand over, they would have to die!"

As soon as Zhou Yu finished speaking, Lu Meng's expression changed.

"Grandmaster, this move will be too much. It should be noted that even the first lord dare not kill him!"

Zhou Yu could hear Lu Meng's voice, and he was reminding himself.

Before, Sun Ce wanted to kill Wei Teng, but later, Sun Ce's mother, Mrs. Wu, stood in front of the water well and said, "If you want to kill Wei Teng, I will jump down." Because after you want to kill Wei Teng, everyone will definitely oppose you."

Why?

Just because Wei Teng is one of the four major families, the Jiangdong family is too powerful, so Sun Ce did not dare to kill him.

The four major families don’t even dare to provoke Sun Ce. Do you Zhou Yu dare to provoke?

In fact, when Sun Quan took office, he also wanted to kill someone: Yu Fan, but because the Yu family is also one of the four major families in Jiangdong, Sun Quan endured this breath.

People who dare not touch the former lord and the current lord dare to touch, dare you to touch?

Are you afraid that it will harm our Jiangdong?

Da da da da da ~

Zhou Yu tapped the table couch in front of him without saying anything, but his eyes were very clear. In other words, he was very firm!

So what about the four major families? This is related to the life and death of Jiangdong. If Jiangdong is destroyed, I still care about your four major families?

Sun Ce and Sun Quan did not dare to provoke the four major families before, and there was a reason why he swallowed his anger at them.

The first is that their position was unstable. Sun Ce had only 3,000 troops at that time. He relied on 3,000 troops to attack Jiangdong, so he naturally had to rely on the power of the Jiangdong gentry. Therefore, he could only swallow his anger against the four major families.

The same is true for Sun Quan. His younger brother's step brother's career was first promoted, so he naturally had to rely on the gentry.

Second, Sun Quan and Sun Ce swallowed their anger at the four major families, more for the future of Jiangdong.

Whether in the army or on-the-job civil servants, most of them are from the four major families. If they want to kill the four major families, it will definitely be a damaging force for Jiangdong, so they will not do this.

But what do I, Zhou Yu, rely on you? What should I take into account?

Not to mention that Jiangdong is not mine, even if it is mine, I am afraid of you as a ghost at this time of life and death!

Not convinced.

kill!

Don't follow.

kill!

Kill and kill!

Kill until you all!

"I have my own conclusion about this matter, Mr. Cheng."

"I am here." Cheng Pu stepped out of the line and bowed to Zhou Yu.

"The people of the four major families are listed one by one in the local and military lists. After that, they will be monitored. If they dare to make other moves, kill them!"

Lu Meng frowned. He thought this behavior was too murderous, but after thinking about it, Lu Meng felt that he was the best way, so he just stepped out and shrank back.

"Grandmaster!" Gan Ning, wearing a brocaded suit, walked up. He wore a Confucian crown on his head, and the brocaded suit was red and black, and he looked energetic.

"What's wrong with Xingba?" Zhou Yu smiled and looked at the boy in front of him.

Ganning, whose courtesy name was Xingba, was from Linjiang, Bajun (now Zhong County, Chongqing). He was a famous general of Sun Wu during the Three Kingdoms period. He was appointed as the prefect of Xiling and General Zhechong.

Among all the generals in Jiangdong, Taishi Ci is the first, so Gan Xingba has to rank second.

In the 13th year of Jian'an, Gan Ning led his troops to Sun Quan and began to make achievements. He successively defeated Huang Zu and occupied Chu Pass, followed Zhou Yu to attack Cao Ren to capture Yiling, followed Lusu to suppress Guan Yu, guarded Xiling, captured Zhu Guang, and led more than a hundred people to attack Cao's camp at night, with great military achievements.

Sun Quan once said: "Meng De had Zhang Liao, and Gan Xingba was the only one who was able to fight against each other." He was righteous and wealthy, and was deeply supported by his soldiers. Chen Shou praised him as the "tiger minister of Jiangbiao".

Although this person has no contribution at this time, he has already won Zhou Yu's favor?

Gan Ning knelt on the ground and bowed to Zhou Yu, with a reluctance on his face.

"This move by the governor offended all the aristocratic families. Is that worth it?"

Zhou Yu knew that Gan Ning was also here to comfort him. His eyes suddenly felt a little confused, but soon he shook his head and his eyes became firm.

"I, Zhou Yu, alone, have a life, death, honor and disgrace. If I can get peace in Jiangdong, it will be worth it!"

Zhou Yu said this with a smile, but the eyes of the listeners were already filled with tears.

What Zhou Yu did today can allow Jiangdong's power to be integrated in a short period of time, but what after that?

The reason why the four major families were afraid of Sun Ce and Sun Quan was naturally their reason. Who can bear the Jiangdong?

"Okay!" Zhou Yu roared and the man stood up.

"You are all military generals, why are you crying? Get out of your place!"

"promise!"

The generals bowed and bowed to Zhou Yu, then slowly retreated, leaving only one Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu's figure is thin. At this time, he is alone in the courtyard. He is not only thin, but also a little lonely!

Zhou Yu's eyes were tearful, and he picked up the wine glass on the table and bowed to a portrait on the wall.

"Bo Fu, do you still remember that you and I were also drinking and chatting in Shouchun. Now, it has been seventeen years, and now you and I have been separated by yin and yang for more than seven years!"

Clang!

Zhou Yu threw the wine glass in his hand to the ground, wiped the tears from his face with his cuffs, and his eyes became very firm!

"Now that Cao's army is approaching, but Bo Fu please rest assured that I will definitely save this Jiangdong for you, sure!"
Chapter completed!
