Everyone sees the crisis in Jianye City. Liu Yao's defeat is not only a military failure, but also a serious political and psychological failure.
This failure severely damaged the Jiangdong clan's confidence in Liu Yao and his confidence in defeating Sun Ce, and thus began to shake his choices in his past, as well as his views and expectations for Liu Yao.
Late at night, a series of practical and psychological effects brought by Liu Yao's defeat during the day were still fermenting rapidly, and the strange people in the city began to become restless. I heard that there were a lot of rumors and destructive tasks in Jiang Cheng, and these snobbish strange people began to become unstable.
Many aristocratic people are gathering in Zhang Ying's mansion, including Yu Fan, who lives in Jianye. Everyone is no longer interested in discussing the results of today's battle. They have said everything they should say and understand. Whether it is the military and political significance of the battle, everyone actually has a formed view in their hearts.
"Zhongxiang, if you are smart and foresighted, no one here can compare with you. Now the situation is in danger, please give everyone an idea!"
Zhang Ying's words were a preemptive move. In fact, it is not difficult to guess what everyone is thinking at the moment. The question is who will be the first to speak. The first person will definitely be known as a villain who repeatedly changes his power in the future. Zhang Ying doesn't want to be this person, so he turned his eyes and pushed this good thing to Yu Fan.
As Zhang Ying said, Yu Fan is the smartest among the Jiangdong clans here, and how could he not see Zhang Ying’s plan? However, since Zhang Ying had already spoken, Yu Fan was supposed to be fired.
"Haha, Lord Zhang has been too rewarded. I am just a fool in the mountains and fields. If the prefect is wrong, he can only make an errand work in the prefect's house. As the saying goes, loyalty and duty are despicable. Although I am despised, I understand this truth. I will naturally fulfill my responsibility for my own errand work. As for what everyone has, I cannot force it."
Yu Fan's words were very obscure, but everyone understands them. Yu Fan means that he is responsible for his duties. Therefore, he can only stand firmly with Liu Yao. As for what everyone should do, everyone has their own freedom. The so-called "forced" is a pun. It also means that Liu Yao cannot force it.
Zhang Ying secretly scolded Yu Fan for cunning in his heart. This seemed to give advice, but after thinking about it carefully, saying it would be like not saying it.
"Zhongxiang, if Jianye is lost, what are Lord Liu's plans?"
"How can I know this? It's nothing more than collecting remaining troops in Wanling and resisting the entire way, or going to Wujun or Kuaiji for help."
"Can't you persuade Cai Mao to help and restrain Sun Ce's son?"
"It's time and time. Now Liu Bei is in great power, so he should ask for Liu Bei, not Cai Mao. However, even if Liu Bei is willing to send troops, he may not have any good intentions, let alone Jianye is in danger now. Liu Bei is far away from water and cannot save the fire near him!"
"In this way, Jianye cannot be held back, and Wanling may not be able to last long. If this is the case, wouldn't it be a plan to make a long time. It would be better to avoid the time when the jade and stones were burned!"
"That's right, if Jianye City is destroyed, Sun Ce will take revenge on his own, and he will suffer others and benefit himself, and he will regret it!"
"Why don't you move south with your family now!"
"Wanling may not be able to be defended! Where can I move?"
"If this is the case, it's better to go straight to Kuaiji to avoid it."
"A person can leave it, but the land cannot be taken away!"
"Or, or you can meet with Sun Ce. Let's see what he said. Maybe there is room for reconciliation?"
"This idea is also feasible, just treat it as a dead horse as a living horse. If Sun Ce receives some benefits and withdraws the army, we can accept it!"
"Agree! This matter is carried out quickly, otherwise it would be too late for Sun Ce to advance as a result of his victory."
"This...is probably not great. If Lord Liu knew about it, he would think we would betray him!"
"What Lord Liu, for his own selfishness, he has been fighting with Sun Ce for many years and has been busy with money and money, but he can't even keep the safety of Danyang. He is a parent official. Now that we are in a disaster, we are all thanks to this person. In this situation, why should we act according to his expression again!"
"It's true that Liu Yao is greedy and reckless, and has nothing to do with us. I believe Sun Ce will understand our difficulties, understand the helplessness of the people of Danyang, and try to save Danyang from the ravages of the war!"
Zhang Ying felt a little stunned. Although she wanted to take out everyone's thoughts, she couldn't stop the momentum when she spoke. Everyone criticized Liu Yao from suspicion to condemnation, and finally everyone criticized Liu Yao in a wide range of words. It seemed that Liu Yao was the only one who was right between Jiangdong and Sun Ce, and had nothing to do with others.
He was so shameless that he was so arrogant that he was indignant that he was so angry that Zhang Ying blinked and didn't know what to say. The Zhang family's ancestors were in Kuaiji, and he just wanted to leave. He really didn't think so much about it.
Yu Fan looked at the performances of everyone here with some amusement. This is the aristocratic race. Aristocratic races never put morality first, but profit is the first. At this important moment of interest, who cares about morality and loyalty? Everyone is thinking about the continuation of the family and the interests of the tribe.
But it’s no wonder that they are. They are not only for themselves, but also for the interests of the huge ethnic group. Speaking of which, they are also a group of poor people carrying heavy responsibilities. So Yu Fan just listened quietly, nodded silently, and did not comment.
But at this point, it is impossible for Jianye to defend it. As for whether Wanling can be defended, it depends on Liu Yao's ability. The aristocratic forces in Jianye are very large, and Liu Yao may not be able to do anything to them, but Wanling's is relatively weak. Maybe Liu Yao can really be suppressed. Otherwise, Liu Yao can only flee south or go west to join Liu Bei, the brother of the clan, in order to take revenge in the future.

"Pa" a tea cup shattered on the ground, Liu Yao's face looked heavy and he was trembling with anger or fear.
"It's unreasonable! It's unreasonable! This group of villains who change their minds! villains!!"
"Sir, it is rare for Lord Yu Fan to tell this truthfully. Although what the Jiangdong clans did in order to protect the interests of their families is despicable, it is not difficult to understand."
Shi Yi stroked his beard and said coldly. Xu Shao just nodded lightly. Xu Shao had nothing to say about these aristocratic families. Xu Shao was good at observing people, that is, he was good at guessing people's hearts. Naturally, he knew that what Shi Yi said was the truth, and people's hearts were like water, and he just followed the trend. It was really not worth being angry.
"Disgusting? It's not just disgusting. That's disloyalty and unrighteousness! It's a traitor! I'll take troops to kill these bastards now!"
"No!" Xu Shao hurriedly stopped him: "If this is the case, the soldiers' mutiny will only be in front of him. At that time, I am afraid that the lord will not have bloody slaughtered the aristocratic race, but will be harmed by the aristocratic race!"
Liu Yao was stunned. Then a huge sense of powerlessness surged in his heart. He knew that Xu Shao was right. At this moment, Liu Yao seemed to understand the reason why the late emperor scolded the aristocratic race. The aristocratic race always puts the interests of his family first. Therefore, it is okay for the aristocratic race to share power and interests with the royal family, but there are conditions for sharing risks. Now that Liu Yao's general trend is unfavorable, these people immediately fell to Sun Ce. If Sun Ce's general trend one day was unfavorable, these people might have fallen to the other side.
"Haha... OK, OK! What a group of snobs, I understand. I understand! Sun Ce, Sun Ce, let's see you today, and in the future, how you are betrayed!"
Shiyi and Xu Shao looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly. What Liu Yao said might be a moment of anger. But it may not be an extremely accurate prediction. Sun Ce's success also relies on the aristocratic clans, and may be burdened by the aristocratic clans in the future and end up with the same consequence as Liu Yao now.
"grown ups......"
"The two of you have no more words. I want to lead your army to abandon Jianye and go south to gather troops in Wanling to fight Sun Ce. What do you want to wait? If the two want to stay in Jianye, I will not force you, nor will I force you."
"Sir, don't have to do this. We must follow the saddle and horse. Although we are weak and cannot fight, we can still be able to cheer!"
"Okay! True love is revealed in times of adversity. I am ashamed of my two high-hearted and kind-hearted officials. If I cannot repay it in this life, I will repay it to you in the next life!"
....................................................
The aristocratic tribes in Jianye City came to Jiang overnight to send a gift to Sun Ce. Sun Ce originally wanted to slaughter Jianye to establish his authority, but Zhang Zhao disagreed. If the aristocratic tribes insist on Jianye to resist to the end, then it would be natural for Sun Ce to slaughter Jianye. It can not only shock the Jiangdong tribes, but also take the opportunity to weaken the Jiangdong tribes' control and influence on Jiangdong.
But now these aristocratic races are here to take the initiative to lose sincerity. If all the people who take the initiative to lose sincerity are also washed away, will anyone still surrender voluntarily in the future? If every battle will last forever and every city will fight to the end, this is definitely not a good thing for Sun Ce.
Therefore, even though Sun Ce really wanted to kill people and indirectly killed his father, he had to admit that Zhang Zhao's opinion made sense. He had to resist the strong murderous intent in his heart. Instead, he had to treat these villains who were changing with a smile, because these people could bring benefits to Sun Ce. For the sake of interests, for the benefit of the entire Sun family, and for the interests of everyone in the entire Sun Ce military camp, Sun Ce had to throw his will aside and had to throw his father's hatred aside. This was the sacrifice of a politician.
On the second day, Sun Ce sorted out all the Jianye soldiers who died in battle at the city and sent them back to Jianye City. In Jianye City, the people were crying. Under such circumstances, all kinds of rumors were flying everywhere, but the finger pointed out that Liu Yao, who insisted on fighting against Sun Ce, was the hero who originally protected the Jiangdong clan, became the culprit who harmed Jiangdong overnight!
On November 5, the poor Liu Yao evacuated Jianye with soldiers willing to follow him at night and headed towards Wanling overnight. Liu Yao left the city and the aristocratic tribes of Jianye welcomed Sun Ce. Jianye's giant city changed hands easily. Jianye lost, and Danyang County was in a state of despair. There was an isolated city in Wanling and could not be helped. How could Liu Yao defend it?
