Previously, Shi Xie and Sun Quan were generally on equal footing. Sun Quan was in Jiangdong and Shi Xie was in Jiaozhi, so their statuses were relatively equal. Sun Quan also showed some goodwill to Shi Xie, and the tone and wording in the letters he exchanged was extremely polite.

But is that because Shi Xie has some domineering spirit, and if he shakes Sun Quan, he will instantly become superior?

Obviously not.

The reason why Sun Quan was polite to Shi Xie was just because Sun Quan had just ascended to the position of lord of Jiangdong. Having a "friend" who was the governor of Jiaozhi would be good for stabilizing Jiangdong. Just like Sun Quan showed off before that he could contact

Liaodong, like hooking up with the Gongsun family, means that one is very capable and has broad connections.

Just like some airborne veterans in later generations would like to show off some muscles at the beginning, just to convince the public, it is not really about how strong the relationship with Shi Xie is.

Now the foundation of the Shixie clan has been dug up by Liu Bei. Even though Sun Quan is honest, caring, and fond of fighting, the gap in status is already very obvious. If the Shixie clan directly finds Sun Quan, they will probably kneel down immediately.

He fell to the ground and offered his knees to show his loyalty to Sun Quan.

Shi Xie, an old fox, also knew that it was impossible to kill Jiaozhi with just these "good brothers" and "good friends". He would also need the power of Sun Quan. What he originally wanted was to build momentum first, and then gather such

A group of people will then go to find Sun Quan. In this way, they can still maintain a relatively high profile, and then negotiate with Sun Quan to obtain a more ideal deal.

But Shi Xie's intelligence level is quite good when compared with the local natives in Jiaozhi. However, when used against the nobles and powerful men among the Han people, it becomes a little uneasy...

In addition to the gentry in Lingling and Guiyang, the local tycoons were basically all cheated, killed, or deceived in the last round or the previous round of fighting, and their prices rose.

Without memory, Shi Xie's current strategy is naturally impossible to implement at all, and no one is willing to step in for Shi Xie.

When we drink, we are still brothers. After drinking, we no longer have this brother. This is not the exclusive property of future generations.

Under such a situation, the Shi Xie clan was naturally very angry, but those in Lingling Guiyang who could still survive after years of multi-party wars were not kind people. If they really wanted to turn against Shi Xie and others, they would not be kind.

I couldn't get any advantage, so I had no choice but to pick and choose, picking out the soft persimmons from hedgehogs and porcupines...

This soft persimmon is Lai Gong.

Lai Gong is also a loser. Lai Gong is the 73rd generation grandson of King Lai Shuying. He was originally a powerful man in Lingling. For a while, he was tyrannical in Zhuangtianwubao. He is just a very upright person and has great righteousness.

, and then he was naturally targeted by Liu Biao, who had not yet been able to control Jingnan at that time. With some instigation, Liu Biao made him the "Jiaozhou Governor"...

Well, I believe everyone is familiar with the title of "Jiaozhou Governor" given by Liu Biao. But Lai Gong didn't know it at the time. He was really waiting for Liu Biao to turn this "Jiaozhou Governor" into the Han Dynasty Minister for him.

The official Jiaozhou governor issued by Taiwan and recognized by the state.

But in fact, Liu Biao just wanted these people in Jingnan to compete with each other, and then he could profit from it, so Lai Gong waited and waited. What he waited for was not the official edict from the court, but the Cang who also belonged to Liu Biao.

Governor Wu's attack.

Lai Gong had no knowledge of military affairs at all. Even though his family had some knowledge and manpower, the outcome on the battlefield was not determined solely by the number of people. Therefore, he was beaten from a first-class powerful family in Lingling to a third-rate local squire and became a

The "soft persimmon" that Shixie chose at the moment...

Lai Gong was helpless when facing the Shi clan and others who came to him. If they couldn't come up with any strategy, these Shi clan people would have to "theory" about the problem of the "Jiaozhou governor" back then. You must know that Shi Xie is the current one.

The Lord of Jiaozhou, the Grand Administrator of Jiaozhi, the Zhonglang General of Suinan, and the Governor-General of the seven counties of Jiaozhou.

So Lai Gong had no choice but to give Shi Xie an idea, asking Shi Xie to "recruit" people from Shan Yue. He said that if Shi Xie used the money to eat and drink, he might as well use the money to recruit Shan Yue, form an army, and then gradually expand it, so that he could eventually counterattack.

Jiaozhi, or simply stand on one's own feet...

As for this "recruitment" method, you can refer to Liu Biao's "riding into Jingzhou alone".

Shi Xie and others discussed it and felt that Lai Gong's plan was a good one, so they started to implement it, just like how Liu Biao recruited the clan thieves. On the one hand, they bribed the people of Shanyue, and on the other hand, they also used deception and abduction to eliminate those who refused.

The obedient Shanyue people were okay at the beginning, but they collapsed later on, because after all, Shanyue was different from the clan thieves, and Shi Xie was different from Liu Biao. The same strategy did not have the same effect. Shanyue felt that he had been influenced by his IQ.
