Chapter 158: Sun Quan, Jia Xu
In the fifth year of Jian'an, that is, in the year 200 A.D., April!
Sun Quan, who was only nineteen years old, succeeded to the lord of Jiangdong, but at first his throne was not very stable, many people doubted Sun Quan's ability, and had the idea of voting for a new master, but fortunately, relying on the support of Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu and others, Sun Quan gradually appeased Sun Ce's old department.
Soon, Sun Quan promoted and selected a group of trusts, such as Lu Su, Zhuge Jin, Lu Xun, Gan Ning and others, all of whom became the pillars of Jiangdong in the future.
And Sun Quan seems to have a special preference for young people.
For example, when Luo Tong was appointed as the prime minister of Wucheng, he was only 20 years old.
When Zhu Ran was Yuyao, he was only nineteen years old.
Hu Zong was only eighteen years old when he was engaged in Jin Cao.
When Sun Shao was a lieutenant of Chenglie, he was only seventeen years old.
When Lu Ji played Cao Peng, he was only sixteen years old.
And when Ling Tong was worshiped as the captain of the thief school, he was only fifteen years old.
Under the leadership of Sun Quan, the land of Jiangdong set off a more violent storm of youth.
At that time, there were many Yue people living in the mountainous areas south of the Yangtze River in China, and these Shanyue people were fierce, supported troops and built villages, and did not obey the jurisdiction of local counties, which posed a huge threat to Sun Quan's rule.
In this regard, Sun Quan adhered to a tough attitude of resolute suppression, sent LΓΌ Fan to Poyang, Cheng Pu to Le'an, He Qi to Shangrao, and let Zhao Fan also govern Haidu, in addition, Huang Gai, Zhou Tai, Zhu Ran, Zhu Zhi and many other famous generals of Eastern Wu participated in the suppression of Shanyue, although this cost Sun Quan a lot of energy, but did not play a very good effect, the main reason is that Sun Quan in dealing with the issue of ethnic relations, did not do the same as suppression, attack the heart, but blindly armed suppression.
In this regard, Sun Quan was obviously inferior to Zhuge Liang later.
Zhuge Liang captured Meng Shu seven times, pacified Nanzhong, and basically relieved the worries of Shu in the first battle, but the Shanyue problem stubbornly plagued Sun Quan's life.
Even more serious than the Yamagoe problem was the rebellion of the local county guards.
When Sun Ce was there, he appointed Li Shu as the Taishou of Lujiang.
After Sun Ce's death, Li Shu looked down on Sun Quan, who had not dried up, and with the support of some Jiangdong clans, Li Shu began to recruit troops and horses, expand the army, and wanted to tie Cao Cao in the north to compete with Sun Quan.
In this situation, Sun Quan showed maturity and political wisdom beyond his own years, on the one hand, he wrote a letter to Cao Cao, fame and profit, and on the other hand, he sent troops to attack the city of Anhui with lightning speed.
Li Shu hurriedly asked Cao Cao for help, but Cao Cao really hesitated, causing Li Shu to finally break the city and be killed.
Luling Taishou Sun Fu was the cousin of Sun Quan and Sun Ce, and followed Sun Ce to the east and west, and made great achievements, but after Sun Ce's death, Sun Fu thought that Sun Quan did not have the ability to keep Jiangdong, so he sent envoys to secretly communicate with Cao Cao.
After Sun Quan found out, he quietly arrested Sun Fu in the name of summoning, executed all the cronies around him, divided and disintegrated his troops, and finally moved Sun Fu to Wudong and put him under house arrest to death.
In the eighth year of Jian'an, that is, in 203 AD!
In order to avenge his father, but also to remove the threat from the western part of Yangzhou, Sun Quan led Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Lu Fan, Zhou Tai and others to begin the eastward expedition to Jiangxia to defend Huang Zu.
Huang Zu chose to stick to Xiakou and avoid fighting!
Sun Quan couldn't attack it for a long time, and when he heard that Shanyue rebelled again, he had to retreat and return.
In the ninth year of Jian'an, that is, in 204 AD.
Sun Ce and Sun Quan's younger brother, Danyang Taishou Sun Yi was assassinated, Sun Quan hurriedly led his troops to Danyang, wiped out all the rebels, and appointed his cousin Sun Yu as Danyang Taishou.
In the course of the sudden death of Sun Ce and the imminent appointment of Sun Quan, it was not uncommon for there to be turmoil or rebellion, and Sun Quan used his old political scheming and vigorous skills to cultivate his own power, eliminate dissidents, and consolidate his undisputed position as the lord of Jiangdong.
In the twelfth year of Jian'an, that is, in 207 AD, Sun Quan led his troops to attack Huangzu again, but as soon as the army reached the halfway point, the news came that his mother was critically ill, and Sun Quan had no choice but to withdraw again.
A year later!
Sun Quan personally led the land and water army to conquer Huang Zu for the third time, this time Sun Quan was determined to win, he worshiped Zhou Yu as the former governor, Dong Xi, Ling Tong, and LΓΌ Meng as the vanguard.
In the fierce battle, Ling Tong, who was less than twenty years old at the time, showed great bravery, and he successfully attacked and broke through the defense line of Huang Zu's army first.
Huang Zu was defeated and killed on the way to escape.
Most of Jiangxia County in Jingzhou was owned by Sun Quan.
After this battle, Sun Quan controlled the waters of the Yangtze River from Xiakou to Chaisang, which greatly improved the safety and security of the Yangtze River defense line in Jiangdong!
Compared with Sun Ce and Sun Ce, although the development ability is insufficient, it is still more than enough to defend the success, especially at this time Cao Cao, Li Yang and Yuan Shao are fighting fiercely in the north, and there is no time to look south, which also gives Jiangdong a rare opportunity for development, so Sun Quan took this opportunity to stabilize the interior, accumulate strength, and make sufficient preparations in advance for the future world.

Nanyang County, Wancheng, Taishou Mansion, in the study!
Han Bao held Li Yang's handwritten letter to himself and read it carefully.
After a long time!
Han Bao took out the flint and lit the letter, and after the letter was reduced to ashes, he slowly paced in the study with his hands behind his back.
Since the crossing, Li Yang's writing has been based on Zuobo paper.
"Jia Xu?" Han Bao said with words in his mouth: "There is a talent that has passed through the heavens and latitudes, and the ability to be unpredictable?" Is there such a person in the world? β
In the letter, Li Yang praised Jia Xu as rare in the sky and difficult to find on the ground, and he hated to summon him immediately to his command for his own use!
Thinking that Han Bao had no advisers around him, Li Yang personally repaired a letter and ordered Han Bao to send someone to Zhang Xiu's army to invite Jia Xu to Wancheng for his own use!
Li Yang specifically stated in the letter that no matter what means are adopted, Jia Xu will be summoned to his command at all costs.
Finally, Li Yang emphasized that he must not be used by others!
After a long time!
"Someone!" Han Bao called out of the study!
The soldiers pushed the door in, saluted, and said, "I don't know what the lord commands?" β
Han Bao took off the seal ribbon from his waist, handed it to his own soldiers, and said: "You personally take a team of people and horses to Xinye, hold my seal ribbon, and invite Jia Xu to come and talk!" β
"No!"
The soldiers took the order and left!
Two days later!
Jia Xu appeared in front of Han Bao with an unknown face, and said, "I don't know what the prince called me?" β
Han Bao looked Jia Xu up and down, and saw that he had a clear face and a thin figure, and there was nothing surprising about him, so he unconsciously looked down on him by three points.
Han Bao didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, so he went straight to the point and said, "Your Excellency is a person from Wuwei County?" β
Jia Xu was shocked, and after a long time, he nodded helplessly!
"Have three sons?" Han Bao raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "The eldest son, Jia Mu, the second son, Jia Wan, the youngest son, Jia Ji?" β
Jia Xu's right eyelid jumped up unconsciously, and said, "I don't know what the prince wants?" β
Han Bao hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, and said: "Brother admires Mr.'s talent, and took all your family members to settle in Liaodong, sir... Mr? β
Han Bao said, but saw that Jia Xu's eyes were dark, and he almost couldn't stand steadily!
Seeing this, Han Bao hurriedly stepped forward to help, and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, sir, my brother is virtuous and good, and he will not harm the three sons of your mansion for no reason!" β
