Chapter 156: Everyone is happy
The battle of Sanyin completely became Zhang Liao's free time.
Sun Jing, who was inexplicably defeated, was guarded by the guards led by his two adult sons, Sun Wei and Sun Yu, and still died under the chaotic knives of the wolf riders and Xiliang soldiers in Bingzhou.
In addition, He Qi, the fierce general who suppressed the Shanyue riot in the south of Huiji, was also killed by Zhang Liao's knife in this battle.
There are about 5,000 soldiers under He Qi, as the saying goes, there are no weak soldiers under strong generals, and these 5,000 soldiers under He Qi are all elite soldiers. When Sun Ce marched westward, considering the large number of Shanyue tribes in Huiji County, he did not transfer soldiers and horses under He Qi, the southern governor of Huiji.
Coupled with the five or six thousand soldiers and horses under the command of Sun Jing and Sun Wei and Sun Yu, these 10,000 regular Jiangdong soldiers were the main force to resist Zhang Liao's army.
But the reason why he was defeated and died cannot be blamed for Zhang Liao being too fierce, if you want to blame Sun Jing, you can only blame Sun Jing for having a problem with her strategy, and if you want to blame He Qi for being too high-profile.
In fact, Sun Jing used the strategy of delaying the advance of Zhang Liao's army by using the powerful forces in various places to gather the powerful forces of the Huiji County clan to deal with the general invasion. But Sun Jing and Huiji County faced Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan, who were powerful in Jiangdong in history, and this guy only relied on seven or eight hundred dead soldiers to kill Sun Quanzhong's heavy Chinese army to lose their armor, and only relied on seven thousand Hefei defenders to beat 100,000 Sun Wu's army all over the ground looking for teeth.
At that time, there were only Li Dianle Jin who was the general next to Zhang Liao, but in this battle, Zhang Liao was surrounded by four people from Wenhou Eight Strong.
In that battle, Sun Quan relied on Zhou Tai to take the knife for him, Ling Tong and Gan Ning fought side by side, and paid the heavy price of Chen Wu's death in battle and Song Qian's Xu Sheng's injury, and finally escaped after the support of 3,000 trouble-relieving soldiers under He Qi.
However, in the Battle of Shanyin, He Qi had not yet relied on the elite soldiers of Shanyue to form Sun Wu's elite troops to relieve trouble, and although He Qi's force value was high among the Jiangdong generals, it must not be as high as the freak Chen Wu at his peak.
In addition, because He Qi was extravagant by nature, the armor and weapons he used were extremely eye-catching, so it was not surprising that he was the first to die under Zhang Liao's knife.
There are also Sun Jing, Sun Wei, Sun Yu, father and son, the three of them tied together may not be able to beat Zhou Tai, so it is completely normal to be trapped and killed in the chaotic army.
As for the powerful leaders of the large and small clans of Huiji County who were killed and injured in this battle, none of them were comparable in force to Ling Tong, Gan Ning, Song Qian, Xu Sheng and others, so the ending of being completely wiped out in the first battle was actually not very shocking.
In a word, after Zhang Liao massacred 60,000 Huiji soldiers and civilians in Shanyin, he finally subdued Huiji County. The three counties of Jiangdong have basically been controlled by Zhang Xiu so far.
At the end of September of the third year of Jian'an, Sun Ce, who drove Huang Zu back to Jiangxia County, was finally killed in Chaisang, Yuzhang. Before his death, Sun Ce vetoed the proposal of Zhang Zhao and most of the Jiangdong elders to support Sun Ce's third brother Sun Yi, who had the style of his eldest brother Sun Ce, and insisted on letting his second brother Sun Quan succeed him to the title of Marquis of Wu.
That night, Sun Ce summoned Sun Quan alone, the first Zhang Zhao and the second brother of Sun Wu Wenchen, and was killed in several earth-shattering roars in the second half of the night!
The next day, Zhang Zhao supported Sun Quan to succeed Sun Ce, read Sun Ce's will, and led Sun's civil and military forces to bow to Sun Quan. And to the imperial court, hoping that the big county of Yuzhang would be Poyang, Yuzhang, and Luling, and at the same time officially show Sun Ben as Yuzhang Taishou, and Lü Fan, who was the first to follow Sun Ce, as Poyang Taishou, and Sun Ben's brother Sun Fu as Luling Taishou. Finally, it was hoped that the imperial court would allow Sun Quan to succeed Sun Ce as the Marquis of Wu and give Sun Quan the title.
Sun Quan was sixteen at the time.
When the Sun family was recuperating in Yuzhang County, Zhang Xiu finally integrated the three counties of Jiangdong almost completely. Especially after the news of Sun Ce's death reached Jiangdong, the large-scale resistance and resistance of the ordinary people in Jiangdong to Zhang Xiujun finally came to an end.
Most of the clans in Jiangdong were killed and slaughtered, some of the lucky ones were confiscated and moved to other places as commoners, and a small number of them either sneaked into the mountains to fight against Zhang Xiu's army or absconded south to the Jiaozhou area, which made those Shanyue tribes who were promised money, grain and iron tools by Zhang Xiu and Tai Shici open the meat.
After about three months of southern expeditions, the battle of Jiangdong also came to an end. Not to mention that Zhang Xiu expanded the territory and population after this war, just saying that Zhang Xiu recruited talents in Jiangdong is enough to make Zhang Xiu's group and the Cao Cao group that dominates the Central Plains and the Yuan Shao group that dominates Hebei side by side.
In terms of Wenchen strategists, Zhang Xiu got and was able to appoint Gu Yong of Wu County Gu Houzhi, Zhuge Jin and Lu Su who traveled to Jianghuai, Buqi who took refuge in Jiangdong from Huainan, and Yan Xuan, an all-round talent who took refuge in Jiangdong from Xuzhou, although he was born in the surname Kan of the Huiji clan, he belonged to Kan Ze of the Hanmen of the side branch, and Wu Cang and others who were born in the Hanmen of Wu County.
As for the generals of the unified army, Zhang Xiu's hearts include the ape-armed marksman Tai Shi Ci, the marshal Zu Xun, the young brave general Xu Sheng, and the young depressed Lu Xun, although it is slightly less than the Wenchen who was subdued, but the quality is definitely satisfactory to Zhang Xiu.
In addition, there is also the general Quan Rou, Deng Dang, who was captured in the Battle of Lingyang, finally surrendered Zhang Xiu, of course, Zhang Xiu's intention to recruit Deng Dang was to collect Deng Dang's brother-in-law who was still in the army and was not known - Lu Meng.
As for Huang Gai and Dong Xian, who were also captured in the Battle of Lingyang due to exhaustion or wounds, under Zhang Xiu's kind solicitation, they would rather die than surrender, and scolded endlessly, Zhang Xiu finally had no choice but to behead these two people, and buried their bodies with other Eastern Wu generals Chen Wu and Song Qian who died in battle.
In fact, when it comes to this, everyone must have discovered one thing, the Jiangdong talents recruited by Zhang Xiu are either just people who have taken refuge in Jiangdong instead of Jiangdong, such as Zhuge Jin, Lu Su Buqi, Yan Gan, Xu Sheng, Deng Dang, Lu Mengtai, Shi Ci and others. Either it is a poor family or a suppressed target who has nothing to do with the wealthy family of Jiangdong, such as Zu Lu Xun Kan Ze Wu Cang belongs to this category.
The only exception is Gu Yong, who was forced by the circumstances to be soft and born in the fourth surname of Wu County. Of course, the Gu family is also a special category in the family.
As for those Wenchen generals who were born in Jiangdong families, they either died at the hands of Zhang Xiujun, or retreated to Yuzhang with Sun Ce. Ling Cao, Zhu Zhi, Zhu Ran, He Qi, Dong Xi and others all let Zhang Xiu be buried with the wealthy family in Jiangdong.
This situation is actually something that Zhang Xiu does not want to see.
Zhou Yu, who had been recruited with great effort, began to deviate from himself because he betrayed the alliance to attack Jiangdong and blackmailed Sun Ce; In this life, it is difficult to see Huang Gai and Zhou Yu stage a classic bitter trick that is willing to fight and suffer. In addition, because of the cruel suppression policy of the powerful family of the family, Zhang Xiu knows that he is now disgusted and scolded by the powerful people of the world, which Zhang Xiu actually does not want to see.
But there's no way not to do that. Zhang Xiu knew that for their own selfish interests, the ambition and desire for control of the family would continue to grow with the increase in strength, and eventually reach the point where it would affect the foundation of the survival of the country and the nation.
Everyone has a heart for self-interest, and Zhang Xiu does not deny the rationality of the existence of selfishness, and even Zhang Xiu agrees with the view that selfishness has promoted the development of society to a certain extent. But that is only to a certain extent, and sometimes it seems that it is not very important because of the selfishness of nature, and the accumulation of each person will affect the luck of a country and a nation.
Just relying on Zhang Xiu to see this, it is actually difficult to change this. Therefore, it is very necessary for Zhang Xiu to recruit a group of talents who are more public than selfish by his side, and bring a group of civil and military generals who can change history before the country.
And at present, there is still no shortage of this kind of people in the three countries.
……
Of course, regardless of whether the Xudu Imperial Court controlled by the enemy Cao Cao allowed it or not, Zhang Xiu would make personnel appointments and placements to the Jiangdong land under his actual control.
Because of the need to appease the Shanyue tribe, Zhang Xiu divided Danyang County into Danyang and Xindu counties. And He Kui served as the Taishou of the new capital county where Shanyue lived. The former Guangling Taishou Han Song was appointed as the Taishou of Danyang, Shu Shao was transferred to the Taishou of Huiji County to suppress the Xiaoxiao Diao people, and Gu Yong, who performed well and made Zhang Xiu extremely satisfied, was promoted to the Taishou of Wu County.
After that, Zhang Xiu left the general Ji Ling, General Qiao Rui, to lead 40,000 Huainan troops to defend Jiangdong and defend Yuzhang County in the west. In addition, Quan Rou was appointed as the governor of Danyang, and Xu Sheng was his countersign. Zu Xun is the new capital captain, and Taishi Cidai will be the capital captain. Deng should do the matter of the governor of Wu County, and Lu Meng was with his brother-in-law. These people were appointed by Zhang Xiu to pacify Jiangdong and clean up the Liukou.
In addition, Zhang Xiu resigned from his post as the Taishou of Jiujiang, and appointed the important minister Yuan Jian as the Taishou of Jiujiang, and Liu Ye remained unchanged on behalf of the Lujiang Taishou, but he divided the counties of Lujiang County in the west of the Jiangxia Army as the new Qichun County, and Yuan Jian served as the youngest Qichun County Taishou under Zhang Xiu's rule from his younger brother Yuan Ba.
From then on, Zhang Xun and Lu Mian's 40,000 troops also began to be stationed in Qichun County, which was specially designated as a military stronghold.
In addition, Kan Ze, Buqi, Yan Xuan, Wu Cang and others were left by Zhang Xiu to serve in the four counties of Jiangdong, and Xu Yan and Wang Kai, two soy sauce-level strategists, were sent to Lujiang and Qichun to serve. Zhuge Jin, Lu Su, and Lu Xun accompanied Zhang Xiu.
Finally, Zhang embroidered himself. After leading the army back to Huainan with Zhang Liao, Zhang Xiu appointed himself as the assassin of Yangzhou and led all affairs in Yangzhou. Yan Xiang Yang Hong and others should be promoted together with the master Bo Changshi.
Finally, at the end, there is one of the most inconspicuous appointments in Zhang Xiu's performance. The original Danyang guarded Yuan Yin, because he did nothing during his tenure in Danyang and killed the wealthy family, he was the fuse and the first person to slaughter Jiangdong for Zhang Xiujun, so he was transferred back to Shouchun. Zhang Xiubiao played the original Shouchun Palace as the Shouchun Palace of the Han Dynasty, Yuan Yin was demoted to the Shouchun Palace Commander, and his nephew Yuan Yao was appointed as the Shouchun Palace Captain.
So far, Zhang Xiu's southern expedition has been fruitful, and Zhang Xiu's group has been rewarded or rewarded, and they are all happy.
Of course, as for whether Cao Cao, Sun Quan, Liu Biao, Huang Zu, and even Yuan Shao are happy, Zhang Xiu does not know.
Because at this moment, I, Zhang Xiu, have grown from a middle-class prince who may be wiped out at any time to a heroic man who looks down on the world.
