Sun Ce did not imitate Gongsun Zan and sent people back to dispatch reinforcements. He did not plan to attack the city. Under Zhou Yu's plan, he had already made a fuss to capture Shouchun City, so he just had to wait.

So, Sun Ce, who had nothing to do for the time being, asked someone to bring Zhang Xiu up.

After Zhang Xiu was captured, he was tied up tightly and it was difficult to move. This was what he looked like when he was brought up.

Seeing this, Sun Ce cursed his subordinates: "Bastard, who told you to treat General Zhang Xiu like this?"

Afterwards, he left his seat and untied Zhang Xiu himself.

"General Zhang Xiu, I have offended him many times, I hope I will forgive you!" Sun Ce sincerely bowed and apologized to Zhang Xiu.

"No, I dare not take it!"

Zhang Xiu came in and showed a look of looking at death, but Sun Ce's attitude made him feel very fond of him. At the same time, he didn't expect that Sun Ce would be so angry with him with such an attitude, which made him stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say.

"General Zhang Xiu, you are a hero. Why are you willing to be inferior to Gongsun Zan like useful people?" Sun Ce asked Zhang Xiu.

"As the situation is forced, I have to do it."

Zhang Xiu's answer was a bit bitter. He was a prince at least, but he wanted to follow Gongsun Zan as a guard. It was not nice to spread and would damage his face.

"Gongsun Zan is ruthless and unrighteous, abandons the general and fles."

Sun Ce said to Zhang Xiu: "Why don't you and me work together to create a great cause?"

Zhang Xiu remained silent. Faced with Sun Ce's sincere solicitation, he felt mixed emotions, but in the end he shook his head and said, "I appreciate the goodwill of the general, but Xiu may not be able to agree."

“Why?”

Sun Ce asked a little strangely, "Do you still have to go back and work hard for Gongsun Zan? Continue to be a guard for him?"

Zhang Xiu remained silent again, and he didn't know how to answer. If Sun Ce let him go, he would definitely not return to Gongsun Zan. As for his way, he didn't think about it well.

Sun Ce came to Zhang Xiu and said to him with a sincere expression: "General Zhang Xiu, if you are willing to defect to me, I will share wealth and honor with you, and life and death with you."

"General!"

Zhang Xiu was moved by Sun Ce's sincerity. After being moved, she finally knelt down and said to Sun Ce: "Thank you with the general's love, Xiu Yuan surrendered!"

"Very good."

Sun Ce was overjoyed and hurriedly helped Zhang Xiu up and said, "With the help of the general, Ce will be more wings."

Then he took off his brocade robe and put it on Zhang Xiu, which made Zhang Xiu even more confused.

After recruiting Zhang Xiu, Sun Ce was overjoyed and immediately held a banquet for Zhang Xiu and drank happily.

After the banquet was halfway through, someone came to report that Zhou Yu was back.

"Gongjin is back?"

Sun Ce's face turned red with a shout, "Let him in quickly. Today I got a powerful general and let him see him too."

The tone was like a child getting a fun toy and couldn't wait to show it off to another child.

Zhang Xiu knew that Zhou Yu and Sun Ce could assess Jiangdong, and Zhou Yu put a lot of effort into it. He also knew the relationship between Sun Ce and Zhou Yu. When Zhou Yu came in, he politely saluted Zhou Yu.

"General Zhang Xiu, I have long admired the name of Daqi."

Zhou Yu came to Zhang Xiu, held his hand tightly, and said happily. Zhou Yu looked handsome and looked handsome when he smiled. His expression was really happy, making people feel that his happiness came directly from his heart.

Zhang Xiu was impressed by Zhou Yu's demeanor, and his favor for Zhou Yu rose sharply. He looked at Sun Ce who was sitting in the head casually. Although his posture was indecent, his every move made people feel very comfortable.

Zhang Xiu suddenly understood why these two people were able to pacify Jiangdong. At the same time, he was full of longing for his future in Jiangdong.

"Reported, Yuan Shu envoy asked for a visit outside the door."

Suddenly someone broke in, interrupting Zhang Xiu's longing.

"The messenger of Yuan Shu?"

When Sun Ce heard this, he sat upright, looked at Zhou Yu and said slowly: "Let him come in..."

Yuan Shu's envoy was quickly taken to the big tent. When Sun Ce saw that he was an acquaintance.

"Isn't this the prefect of Danyang?"

Sun Ce spoke with a sarcasm and said, "Or now we call you Taichang?"

The visitor was Yuan Yin, Yuan Shu's consul.

After Sun Ce captured Danyang, he was appointed as the prefect of Danyang by Yuan Shu, but when he took office, he was expelled by Sun Ce and even the city could not enter.

Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor and empress, and Yuan Yin was appointed as Taichang by Yuan Shu.

Of course, this position of Taichang is a joke in the eyes of others. Emperor Yuan Shu was not an orthodox, but a pseudo-emperor. The position of minister he enthroned was naturally incorrect.

Yuan Yin knew that his so-called Taichang position was nothing in the eyes of Sun Ce and others, but he might have been beheaded for credit because of this.

So Yuan Yin was very clever and did not mention any of his official positions. He saluted Sun Ce and said, "Runan Yuan Yin met with the Ming Han General and the Governor of Yangzhou."

If the Yuan family in Runan was placed before, Sun Ce would never dare to sit so carelessly, because the Yuan family of the fourth generation and three dukes had a great influence and was slightly disrespectful, a large group of people would wear it.
