Chapter 267: Unification of Jiangdong

When Zhang Fei began to scold the first sentence in the direction of Xiangyang, Liu Bei knew that Zhang Fei was 'playing drunk'.

But Liu Bei did not immediately come forward to stop it, and there was Liu Bei's 'careful thinking' in this.

I, Liu Bei, came to you Liu Biao 'sincerely', but you Liu Biao is more powerful than a thief to prevent me.

If my Liu Bei's subordinates don't scold you, this is too unreasonable.

If you don't scold Liu Biao, it either means that I Liu Bei has other plans, or it means that I Liu Bei is a cowardly 'shrinking turtle'.

Neither of these was what Liu Bei wanted to see, so Liu Bei did not immediately come forward to stop Zhang Fei and let Zhang Fei 'play drunk'.

By the time the soldiers came to confess, Zhang Fei had already scolded a lot, and if he continued to scold, it would not be acting, but revenge.

Therefore, Liu Bei looked shocked, and immediately called Guan Yu to the tent, and said to Guan Yu with a solemn face: "Yun Chang, Yide is 'playing drunk' again, you should hurry up and take care of it." It's a very moment, and many people are watching, and woe is coming out of their mouths! ”

Guan Yu naturally understood what Liu Bei meant, and could only sympathize with Zhang Fei very much in his heart: "Third brother! This scene has made you miserable! ”

But then I thought about it, "It just so happens that I haven't beaten Yide for a long time, and my hands are a little itchy, this opportunity is not bad!" Then I was quickly relieved in my heart.

Zhang Fei's 'drunken madness' is not the first time that it has happened in Liu Beijun, and of course, according to Zhang Fei's love for wine, it will not be the last time.

Despite this, Zhang Fei did not dare to drink unscrupulously, because Liu Beijun had a figure he was afraid ofβ€”Guan Yu.

The reason why Zhang Fei, who is an alcoholic, is afraid of Guan Yu is that he can't beat him; Second, I don't know when Guan Yu will change his face, because Guan Yu's face has always been so red; The third is that when Guan Yu beat him, he was really beaten, and he was beaten mercilessly.

Guan Yu, who received the order, strode towards the outside of the tent.

came to Zhang Fei's side, didn't say a word, and before Zhang Fei could react, he put Zhang Fei to the ground with three strikes and five divisions.

I only heard Guan Yu's angry voice coming: "I have told you many times that you are not allowed to drink and make trouble in the army, what's the matter?" Think my words don't work? ”

"Woo~Woo~"

It turned out that I didn't know whether Guan Yu did it intentionally or unintentionally, and while putting Zhang Fei to the ground, he also pressed Zhang Fei's face to the ground with one hand.

Therefore, Zhang Fei could only answer Guan Yu's question in this way.

The moment Zhang Fei was put down, many thoughts appeared in his heart.

The first thought was: "The second brother's martial arts have increased again, at least at the level of the nine grades." ”

The second thought was: "The second brother's brain must be broken." Second brother! Look at me when you do it, you put my face on the ground, how can I answer you? ”

The third thought was a little aggrieved: "You really fight!" I didn't want to make trouble, I was acting, really acting. I'm not drunk, isn't this an excuse to scold Liu Biao's bastard a few words and vent his anger for my eldest brother. ”

Three hours later, Liu Biao knew about the scene that happened in Liu Bei's army.

I saw Liu Biao smile, and then said to a personal soldier beside him: "You go and tell Wang Du and let him lead people back!" ”

After thinking for a moment, he said to another personal soldier: "You go and tell Liu Bei that I will allow him to expand his army and provide him with food, but he will defend Nanyang County for me." ”

Looking at the figures of the two pro-soldiers in the distance, Liu Biaoxin said: "Liu Xuande, whether you are a dragon or a tiger, in my Jingzhou, you are honest." ”

......

This year is a year of great battles.

Han Cheng and Yuan Shao in Youzhou, Cao Cao and Liu Bei in Xuzhou, in Yangzhou, are naturally not so calm.

Since Yuan Shu arrived in Yangzhou, Yangzhou has been Yuan Shu's territory, and Yuan Shu is a well-deserved 'big brother'.

After Yuan Shu's death, his younger brother Yuan Yin, son-in-law Huang Yi and others led Yuan Shu's remaining soldiers and horses, escorted Yuan Shu's body and his many wives and children, and took refuge in Liu Xun, the Taishou of Lujiang County in Anhui County.

Liu Xun turned out to be Yuan Shu's subordinate and was very loyal to Yuan Shu.

In 195 AD, Sun Ce led his troops to capture Lujiang County.

In order to limit the development of Sun Ce's power, Yuan Shu appointed a close confidant, Liu Xun, as the Taishou of Lujiang County.

Liu Xun took office effortlessly.

Liu Xun knew his ability, so after arriving in Lujiang County, he showed a polite corporal and a friendly appearance.

Soon after, he got the admiration of Liu Ye, the 'talent of the world', and Liu Xun was overjoyed.

With Liu Ye's assistance, after several years of development, Liu Xun's power is getting bigger and bigger, coupled with the old department of Yuan Shu who has just defected to him, for a while, Liu Xun has become the largest force in Yangzhou.

If there is only Liu Xun's force in Yangzhou, then it is indeed a good 'good thing' that the power is strong.

However, at this time, there were still many forces in the Yangzhou region, and the most competitive with Liu Xun was Sun Ce, who occupied the eastern part of Danyang County, the northern part of Huiji County, and the entire Wu County.

Although Sun Ce's territory is large, he has few soldiers and horses, and there is little food. Therefore, he didn't dare to confront Liu Xun head-on, so he could only use some other means.

If there were enough soldiers, horses, and food, how could Sun Ce, the 'little overlord of Jiangdong', choose other means?

After all, for Sun Ce, try not to use his brain for things that can be solved by hand.

Too tired!

As a result, Sun Ce sent an envoy with a humble attitude and abundant wealth to ask Liu Xun to attack Shangyu City on his behalf, and promised to form an alliance with Liu Xun.

For the sake of the rich wealth and Sun Ce's humble attitude, Liu Xun believed Sun Ce's words and sent troops to the city.

After Liu Ye heard this, he persuaded Liu Xun: "Lord, Shangyi City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is not a place that can be easily captured.

Sun Ce is ambitious, and he has long been eyeing our Lujiang County.

If we send troops, Sun Ce will definitely take advantage of the emptiness behind us and send troops to attack us.

When the time comes, we can't take the city when we attack, and we will come to the end of our retreat without a place to return! ”

Liu Ye's 'golden and jade good words' are a fart to Liu Xun!

With my current strength, Yangzhou is the first, and Sun Ce dares to come?

Therefore, Liu Xun laughed and said, "Ziyang, you think too much. You didn't see the humble look of Sun Ce's envoy, how could he send troops? You can rest assured. You stay in the city, this year, we are in the city of Shangyu for the New Year. ”

Persuaded, persuaded!

When Liu Ye saw Liu Xun's 'self-righteous' appearance, he could only warn himself in his heart:

"The power is so strong that people can lose themselves inflated! Only by failing can it sober up!

Alas! So much has been said, so be it! If you can save Liu Xun's family as much as possible, please protect his family! This is his last loyalty. ”

After Liu Xun sent his troops, Sun Ce really led the army to come.

Liu Ye knew that the generals in the city and the remaining men and horses would not be able to resist Sun Ce's attack.

arranged people in advance to send Liu Xun's family out of the city, and then took Liu Xun's family and family members in the direction of Shangyu City.

At the same time, Liu Xun lost his troops under Shangyu City, and heard that Lujiang County was captured by Sun Ce, and regretted that he did not listen to Liu Ye's words.

After meeting his family and Liu Ye, he went to Cao Cao.

After several months of conquest, Sun Ce has accounted for five of the six counties in Yangzhou.

For Sun Ce, who pursues perfection in everything, this is imperfect.

In December, Sun Ce led his army to attack Shaxian, the garrison of Huang Zu, a general under Liu Biao.

Liu Biao hurriedly sent his nephew Liu Hu and Han Xi, a native of Nanyang, to lead a spear team of 5,000 people to support Huang Zu.

In mid-December, Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, LΓΌ Fan, Cheng Pu, Sun Quan, Han Dang, and Huang Gai each led a force to attack Shaxian's Huang Zu's army.

Huang Zu was unable to resist the simultaneous attack of these seven people, and finally had to flee alone, so that his wife and children were captured by Sun Ce.

Liu Hu, Han Xi and others who came to help were also killed by Sun Cejun.

In this battle, Sun Ce captured more than 10,000 people, captured more than 6,000 large and small ships, and piled up a mountain of property, laying the foundation for the establishment of the Jiangdong Navy in the future.

After defeating Huang Zu, Sun Ce continued to lead his men and horses to attack Yuzhang County.

When he arrived in Nanchang County, Sun Ce said to Yu Tuo: "Yuzhang County is famous for guarding Huaxin, but his combat ability is average, and he is definitely not my opponent.

If he does not belong to me, as soon as the drums of my siege of the city sound, the battle will begin, and it will be a scene of misery.

Go into the city, and tell him what I mean. ”

Yu turned the order into the city, met Yuzhang County Taishou Huaxin, and stated the stakes.

Hua Xin knew that Sun Ce was good at using soldiers, so he tidied up his clothes and welcomed his arrival.

In this way, Sun Ce took Yuzhang County bloodlessly.

Sun Ce buried Liu Xuan's coffin in his hometown of Muping County, Donglai County, and brought back his orphaned Liu Ji and other sons, a move that was praised by Wang Lang, the Taishou of Huiji County.

Liu Xuan had prestige because of his honesty during his lifetime, and Sun Ce did so, which attracted the hearts of a large number of scribes.

Subsequently, Sun Ce stayed in the army to protect Zhou Yu to guard Baqiu County, appointed Tai Shici as the lieutenant of Jianchang, and stationed troops in Haihuang County to resist Liu Biao's nephew Liu Pan, so that Liu Pan did not dare to attack Yangzhou in the slightest.

Sun Ce's 'iron-blooded' methods and gentle means of winning people's hearts allowed him to quickly stabilize Yangzhou and achieve the goal of unifying Jiangdong.

At this time, Cao Cao, due to years of conquest, the soldiers were tired, and he was no longer able to raise troops to the east.

After hearing the news that Sun Ce had unified Jiangdong, he could only sigh: "It's hard to compete with him!" ”

He married his younger brother's daughter to Sun Ce's younger brother Sun Kuang, and married Sun Ben's daughter for his son Cao Zhang, using these means to stabilize his rear, so as to compete with Yuan Shao and Han Cheng for the Central Plains.

In the following months, Yuan Shao and Han Chengdu chose to recuperate very tacitly.

Of course, everyone knows that this is just the calm before the storm.

The three parties are recruiting troops and horses to gather combat strength, and in the coming year, there will be another big war.
