Chapter 194: Jiangdong generals have disputes
Jiangdong soldiers and horses are now roughly divided into three parts, the first is the 50,000 elites commanded by Sun Ce himself, most of these 50,000 soldiers and horses are the elite divisions that have followed Sun Ce for many years, and they are also the most powerful and elite army combat power in Jiangdong, so they are personally commanded by Sun Ce; The second part is the 50,000 naval army commanded by Zhou Yu, the 50,000 Jiangdong naval army was personally trained by Zhou Yu, and it is also one of the world's best naval forces, this 50,000 naval army is an important reliance on the Jiangdong side across the Yangtze River to divide the Jiangdong land, as long as the 50,000 naval army is not destroyed, it is impossible for the enemy army to attack the hinterland of Jiangdong; The third army is the 20,000 soldiers and horses commanded by Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai, and the 20,000 soldiers and horses garrisoned by Peng Ze are for Sun Ce to control Yuzhang County and monitor the soldiers and horses of Chai Sang Yueyun and Gan Ning!
These 120,000 troops are already the absolute combat power of Jiangdong, and the rest of Jiangdong has no other organized army except for a few soldiers and horses in Shanyue, and among the three soldiers and horses, the 50,000 elite soldiers in the land of Dantu are the most elite, and it can be said that whoever masters these 50,000 soldiers and horses can control the land of Jiangdong.
Cheng Pu's question is very important, it can almost be said that he is asking who can take over Sun Ce's position as the lord of Jiangdong!
Even if Zhou Yu led the army to contain him, most of the 50,000 troops were loyal to the Sun family, or they did not have the intention of replacing the Sun family, and they did not want to make a mistake to replace the Sun family. But even if it is not for the sake of making trouble, as long as any of them controls the 50,000 soldiers and horses, they can still hold the initiative in selecting the lord of Jiangdong, and then as long as this person supports whoever takes over the position of the lord of Jiangdong, then whoever can easily win, such a support is not small!
In troubled times, soldiers and horses are the biggest capital!
These 50,000 soldiers and horses are the most important foundation in Jiangdong, and they naturally want to control them in their own hands, even if they are not in their own hands, they must ensure that these 50,000 soldiers and horses are in the hands of people of their own faction, otherwise their own interests will be difficult to guarantee!
This matter is too important, and everyone wants to control the initiative, but no one wants to make suggestions at this time, so as not to be seized by others and attacked.
Sun Ce was assassinated, and it was inevitable that the army would be unstable, and Sun Ce's aftermath also needed to be dealt with urgently, so all these things had to wait until the person in charge was determined before anything could be done. Cheng Pu, as the general of the Sun family, was naturally very anxious in his heart, and seeing that the situation was deadlocked, Cheng Pu inadvertently gave Huang Gai a look and asked him to say a few words first to break the tranquility at this time.
Huang Gai, Cheng Pu and Han Dang are all Sun's generals, and now Han Dang has gone out of the camp to arrest the murderer, and now only Huang Gai can give Cheng Pu a hand. Huang Gai knew that this matter was urgent, and he did have some thoughts in his heart, so he nodded silently and gave Cheng Pu a look, and then stepped forward and said: "The lord was suddenly assassinated, and I am naturally very sad as a general and a courtier, but although the lord is dead, but the foundation he left behind is still there, and we are deeply favored by the lord, no matter what, we must help the lord stabilize the foundation and smoothly hand it over to the next Wu Hou of the Sun family. ”
Everyone relies on the Sun family to rise, and they are all vested interests in Jiangdong Foundation, although they each have their own careful thoughts, but they will not sit back and watch Jiangdong Foundation collapse no matter what! Everyone nodded and said, "What General Huang said is very true, we think it is true, I don't know what the general thinks?" ”
Huang Gai and others first followed Sun Jian for many years, and then followed Sun Ce all the way to the south and the north, they had a very deep friendship with Sun's children, in addition to Sun Ce, Huang Gai and Sun Quan had the best relationship, otherwise when Sun Quan sent reinforcements before, Huang Gai would not take the initiative to ask for orders to go to support.
Now that Sun Ce is dead, and he has not left a will, according to reason, the next Wu Hou should have Sun Ce's son Sun Shao to serve as the post, but Huang Gai and others are old and sophisticated, how can they not know the harm of the Lord Shaoguo's suspicion, not to mention that if it is still a troubled world today, if Sun Shao is allowed to take over Wu Hou's position, I am afraid that the Jiangdong foundation will not last long. In Huang Gai's view, Sun Quan is sensitive and studious and good at learning Corporal Lixian, and he is the best successor of Sun Ce, if Sun Quan settles Wu Hou's position, Jiangdong Foundation will definitely be preserved!
Huang Gai pondered for a moment, and finally made up his mind, and said: "This 50,000 army is the foundation of Jiangdong's foothold, and it should be handed over to the Sun family, and now the lord's brother Sun Quan is in Dantu City, in my opinion, we should welcome Sun Quan into the camp and let him take over the 50,000 army, only in this way can we live up to the high expectations of the lord!" ”
Yu Chuan and other children of the Jiangdong Shi clan also have a very good relationship with Sun Quan, if Sun Quan takes over the Jiangdong foundation, it will also be a good thing for them, hearing Huang Gai's words, Yu Quan and the others are silent and do not speak; Huang Gai's words were also in Cheng Pu's mind, and Cheng Pu saw that no one objected, and said: "Since this is the case, then I will ...... wait."
"General Cheng is slow, and he thinks that welcoming Sun Quan into the camp is inappropriate!"
Just when Cheng Pu was about to play with the words, a voice suddenly came, and everyone turned their heads to look, only to see that this person was none other than Sun Ce's number one favorite Tai Shici!
In his opinion, although Sun Ce has been assassinated, he is not without heirs, so his inheritance should be inherited by his son Sun Shao! Now if Sun Quan is allowed to take over the 50,000 soldiers and horses, then it is conceivable who will fall into the hands of this Wu Hou, Tai Shici will naturally not sit idly by and watch this happen!
Tai Shi Ci is brave and loves soldiers like a son, he has led the army alone several times and has made great achievements for the Sun family, he has a high prestige in the army, and many of the generals who Sun Ce subdued are also the first to look forward to it, for Tai Shi Ci's words, Cheng Pu naturally does not dare to think about it too much, if this matter is not handled well, I am afraid that the Jiangdong Army will immediately break out into a big chaos!!
Cheng Pu took a breath to suppress the anger in his heart and said, "Since General Ziyi doesn't agree with the public remarks, I don't know what good plan you have?" ”
Tai Shi Ci stepped forward and bowed to everyone, and said: "The lord ordered us to lead the army, which can be said to be an extraordinary grace of faith, and now that the lord has been assassinated, we naturally have to deal with the matter behind him, only in this way can we live up to the grace of the lord!" Although the lord was assassinated, he still has heirs, and this Wu Hou's position should be inherited by Sun Shao, the son of the lord! These 50,000 troops are the foundation of Jiangdong, but General Huang wants Sun Quan to take over, I don't know what his intentions are? ”
