Sun Jian believed that Sun Shangxiang was the daughter of destiny and could bring great benefits to the Sun family in Jiangdong.

However, it will be at least sixteen years later when Sun Shangxiang grows up.

Huang Gai came to visit Sun Jian: "Lord, there are two people, Zhou Tai from Jiujiang, and Jiang Qin avoided the chaos and hid in Chaisang. Hearing that the lord recruited soldiers and was eager to seek talent, he came to surrender."

Sun Jian was slightly moved: "But please ask them to come to the mansion to discuss matters, and I will see if they have real talents and knowledge."

Sun Jian wanted to attack Huainan, and he knew that relying solely on himself and the four generals of Jiangdong, he might not be able to conquer Hefei with strong defense. He had to recruit more talents to increase his chances of winning.

Not to mention Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, they are from Jiujiang, and are familiar with the terrain of Huainan.

Soon Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin were invited to Sun Jian’s mansion to meet Sun Jian.

Both of them were tiger generals, and Zhou Tai was even more powerful, which made Sun Jian’s eyes lit up.

Sun Jian even believed that Zhou Tai's force was still above the four generals of Jiangdong, second only to him.

Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin were both cosmic generals Hou Jingfu was in trouble in Huainan and fled to Chaisang to avoid the chaos. He heard that Sun Jian was recruiting soldiers here and lacked a team, so they came to surrender.

Sun Jian's power has not yet grown, so he chose to surrender to Sun Jian at this time. Although the possibility of Sun Jian becoming bigger and stronger is relatively small, it also means that he can be reused and will soon become an old minister of Sun Jian's power.

Sun Jian intended to win over the two, so Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin defected to Sun Jian's disciple.

Jiang Qin mentioned something: "A group of water bandits appeared in Poyang Lake recently. They called themselves Liangshanpo. The person in charge seemed to call themselves timely rain Song Jiang. There seemed to be a few capable people under this man. If the lord could conquer this man for his own use, perhaps the chance of winning would be greater when attacking Huainan."

"Song Jiang?"

Sun Jian has never heard of this person.

But it is not surprising.

The entire Eastern Han Dynasty had a vast territory, with bandits, water bandits, horse bandits, nomadic tribes, mountain and Yue, and Qiang people, and it was impossible to clear out all bandits and water bandits in a short period of time.

Even in Chutian's territory, there are many water bandits and bandits. For example, in Huainan, there are bandits on every hill.

The Langya Kingdom, which was only Chutian, was used to train troops for a long time, and the bandits were almost extinct.

With so many water bandits, Sun Jian could not know the names of the leaders of each water bandit.

Zhou Tai also heard about the timely rain Song Jiang: "He should not be an ordinary water bandit. I heard that three or four years ago, Chu Zimou of Langya Kingdom and Tao Qian and other Yiren lords competed for Xuzhou. This Song Jiang was the general of one of the Yiren lords of the East China Kingdom. Later, he was defeated and disappeared. Now it seems that he fled to Poyang Lake, recruited several good players, plundered the people in Poyang Lake, and said that he was also known as the rich and helped the poor."

The information Zhou Tai found was correct.

During the process of unifying Xuzhou, Song Jiang caused some trouble to Chu Tian. However, Chu Tian focused on Le Yi and Yang Ye, and directly ignored Song Jiang's timely rain, so that Chu Tian did not ask about Song Jiang's whereabouts.

Song Jiang followed his lord to flee from Xuzhou. On the way, the lord was killed by the water bandits, but Song Jiang found a way to conquer the group of water bandits and headed south. Finally, he chose to use Poyang Lake as a stronghold and robbed everywhere for a living.

Poyang Lake was not originally the territory of Tongque. There were many lords near Poyang Lake, attacking each other, which gave Song Jiang the opportunity to rise.

Song Jiang attracted more fishermen, and the villagers joined his own ranks of bandits to strengthen their subordinates, while absorbing the remnants of defeated soldiers and defeated generals from various lords around him. After a few years, he actually gathered tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, owning a thousand ships (including fishing boats).

Sun Jian focused on pacifying the lords of Yuzhang County. If it weren't for Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin's reminder, he wouldn't have known that there was a person like Song Jiang in Poyang Lake.

Song Jiang annexed some of the military generals of the surrounding lords, which means that if Song Jiang is conquered, Sun Jian's power can grow.

Before asking for a meeting with Sun Jian, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin were obviously ready to perform their merits: "We have figured out the location of Liangshanbo. As long as the general intends to subdue this bandit, we two can be pioneers."
