Chapter 240: Sun's youngest son
When Sun Ce died, Sun Quan ascended the throne, the sun and the moon alternated, and the six counties of Jiangdong changed hands, the 100,000 army led by Xiao Yi went north into the territory of Xuzhou, and was stationed in the important town of Xiapicheng. Second, collect grain and grass to replenish military supplies!
As the saying goes: 'Kill a thousand, lose eight hundred', the battle of Huainan, the Jiangdong army was defeated, more than half of the men and horses were lost, and they retreated to their hometowns in disgrace, and the same way, as the winning side, the Cao army also paid a heavy price, the soldiers were killed and wounded tens of thousands of people, and a large number of ordnance, grain and grass, war horses and ...... were consumed, and it is not too much to say that it is 'five tuberculosis and seven wounds'!
No matter how elite the army is, after a big battle, it must be repaired well before it can be put into the new battlefield, so Xiao Yi temporarily stationed his troops and urged the generals and colonels of all departments every day to treat the wounded and replenish equipment, so as to recover their combat effectiveness as soon as possible and go north to rescue the officers to cross the battlefield!
As for the problem of grain and grass, it is the top priority of the Cao Ying group, the war has been going on for more than half a year, Cao Ying has invested hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and the young and strong people have exceeded one million, as for the grain and grass consumed, it is countless, the treasury storage of Sizhou, Yuzhou, and Yanzhou has been exhausted, in order to raise grain and grass for the army, Xun Yu and Xun Yu A group of internal affairs officials have worked hard day and night, almost with gray hair!
The land of Xuzhou, with a large population, developed commerce, and the benefits of fishing and salt, is known as 'rich armor southeast', Xiao Yitun's troops went down to Picheng, just to get a batch of grain and grass, and to support the official battlefield, otherwise, the 100,000 army will be drawn over, and the logistics supply will be more difficult, and in less than a month, the Cao army should be defeated on the whole line!
The problem is that this grain and grass is not easy to raise, since the start of the war, Xuzhou has sent money and grain, and at the same time supported the two major battlefields in the south and north, and the consumption of materials is extremely amazing, in the words of Thorn Shi-Chen Qun: "The treasury is empty, there is no money and grain, and if you want to forcibly requisition, the people of Li will eat people!" ”
For Chen Qun's words, Xiao Yi believes half, this Lord Thorn Shi has worked hard day and night, and has fulfilled his duties, Xuzhou's treasury is indeed empty, and the people's power has been exhausted, but there is still a lot of grain and grass, but it is not in the official treasury, but hidden in the private treasury!
Xuzhou has a deep heritage, the scholars gathered, these big families, occupy a large amount of land, population, and meddled in commercial operations, gathered countless money, their private treasury, gold and silver piled up, grain and grass countless, if you can draw out a part of it, enough to support the Guandu battlefield, to maintain the consumption of hundreds of thousands of troops!
Of course, it is not an easy thing to pluck the hair from the big gate valve, Chen Qun, as the assassin of Xuzhou, has also moved his mind in this regard, but he has hit a wall everywhere, and his saliva has sprayed countless times, but none of the gate valves are willing to donate food, this is not his lack of ability, he really has a last resort!
Mencius once said: "It is not difficult to govern, and you must not offend the giant room", Chen Qun, as the assassin of Xuzhou, wants the place to be safe and sound, and the government decree is smooth up and down, so he naturally does not want to offend the gate valve giant room, so he can only persuade each other with good words, and dare not coerce by force, but the result has little effect, besides, their Chen family, which is a famous family of gate valves, how can they betray their own camp?
"The great Sima military order of the book: Xuzhou's gate valve giant room, powerful households, within five days, will all come to Picheng to participate in the celebration banquet of the Southern Expedition, and those who dare to resign will be engaged in military law!"
It is said that the gate valve is as fierce as a tiger, and it is easy to touch, Xiao Yi doesn't believe in this evil, and he has to touch the tiger's buttocks, and then pluck some hair down fiercely, to see if their necks are hard, or their own knives are fast?
Of course, Xiao Yi dared to challenge the gate valve giant room, and he was not blindly brute, he naturally relied on it, first of all: he served as the pastor of Xuzhou, and has been in charge of power for more than a year, with a large number of contacts and deep influence, he knows a lot about the gate valve giant room, and can do 'know yourself and know your opponent, and win all battles!' ’
Secondly, he is now the great Sima of the dynasty, out of the ranks of the magistrates, not in his position, not in his government, so there is no need to scruple too much, now 100,000 male soldiers in hand, under both soft and hard, who dares to disobey the gate lords of the Shi clan, what is the means of 'ghost face Xiao Lang', they are clear!
In the end, Xiao Yi is not afraid of the retaliation of the scholars, he is in a high position and has heavy troops, if he is today, he can be restrained, that is, his father-in-law, but Cao Cao has always promoted the children of the Han family and suppressed the lords of the Shi clan, in order to raise military rations, how could he punish his son-in-law?
With the above three points, Xiao Yi set up a 'Hongmen Banquet' and invited the scholars to come, as long as they came to Xiapi City, they would fall into the trap, if anyone dared not come, it would be easier, disobey the military order, behead all over the house, leave no chickens and dogs, and confiscate property!
All of a sudden, all over Xuzhou was boiling, those gate valve owners, knowing that there was no good fruit to eat, still brought rich gifts, sat on gorgeous carriages and horses, and gathered in Picheng, of course, they were privately connected in series, who won and who lost in the end, but also depends on the level of means?
…………………………………………………………………………………………
Late at night! - Outside Xiapi City - Xuanjia Army Camp - Inside the Chinese Army Tent!
Xiao Yi was wearing a hundred flowers robe, lying on the wolfskin soft couch, the rib wound was neatly bandaged, exuding a strong smell of medicine, but the whole person was full of energy, tasting a pot of good tea, since he was injured, he had never touched the wine, he could only replace the wine with tea, comfort himself, not that he didn't want to steal a few sips, there was really a powerful overseer - Daoxiang!
The little girl is thirteen years old this year, cardamom years, innocent and cute, definitely a little beauty embryo, according to the rules of the Han Dynasty: 'women fourteen and Tai, can have children', therefore, Daoxiang is also a big girl, you can talk about marriage, free choice of husband!
As a disciple of Hua Tuo, Daoxiang has superb medical skills, and with the relationship between the Hou Mansion and the Hou Mansion, there is naturally no shortage of suitors, but the little girl wanders around the big tent all day long, looking at Xiao Yi's eyes, the sweetness almost drips honey, and the hidden little caution can be seen by people!
This is not surprising, Xiao Yi has a heavy army, outstanding military achievements, known as the 'first general of the Han Dynasty', and his appearance is also in the past, so it is naturally easy to attract the attention of women, I don't know how many daughters of ministers and celebrities of the prestigious family are secretly admiring him, 'marry a wife should marry the daughter of the Cao family, and marry a ghost-faced man if you marry', this is not an empty word!
For this matter, Xiao Yizhi doesn't mind anything, is it the so-called following the customs, the civil and military officials of the Han and Manchu dynasties, that is not a group of wives and concubines, it is reasonable to have one more lady by himself, but no, this matter should not be rushed, it is better to let Daoxiang grow up, and then it is not too late to officially marry!
In addition to taking care of daily life and changing the wound medicine, Daoxiang also helped deal with some government affairs, such as sorting out the secret reports everywhere, and then reading them to Xiao Yi one by one......
On February 25, the Jiangdong people suspended Zhenjiang City and held a large-scale military parade, the second son-Sun Quan replaced his brother, holding the Qingming Sword, inspected the people and horses of various departments, and gave wine, meat, cloth, and silk, and the morale of the whole army was greatly boosted!
On March 8, the Jiangdong people arrived in Wu County, the generals returned to the station, drilled the men and horses, Zhou Yu went to Poyang Lake, set up a naval army, recruited soldiers, built warships, and prepared to rebuild a Jiangdong naval army!
On March 12, Mrs. Da Qiao worked all the way, accidentally injured the fetus, and gave birth to a baby boy prematurely, which was named Sun Shao, the eldest son of the Sun family, but did not celebrate, but just set up a banquet in the inner house, and Xiaobawang did not attend......
………………………………………………………………………………
"Sun Quan paraded on behalf of his brother, Zhenjiang docked for three days, Da Qiao gave birth to a son prematurely, but he didn't celebrate it in a big way...... From this point of view, the little overlord-Sun Ce, I'm afraid that the star has fallen! ”
After listening to the secret report, Xiao Yi jumped up, looked at the southeast direction, with a look of lamentation on his face, and combined all kinds of information, he determined that Sun Ce had passed away, and since then he has lost a strong opponent, and his life will be much more boring!
As for Sun Quan, he has a tough personality and is still talented, but he is a qualified commander, but this person has a dark heart, is unkind, and cannot be called a hero of the world, at most he becomes a 'Goujian', he can only be an enemy, it is difficult to be a confidant, as for the ability to expand the territory, it is too far behind Sun Ce!
"Order all the troops to lower the military flag by half, and point diagonally to the southeast, without error...... In addition, send someone to Jiangdong again, send a good horse, a pair of bows and arrows, congratulations to Bo Fu, happy to get a noble son, I will also play the imperial court, canonize Sun Shao as Guanglu doctor, 2,000 stones! ”
The Jiangdong side did not mourn secretly, concealed the news of Sun Ce's death, Xiao Yi didn't want to debunk them, but just expressed his condolences in his own way, as for giving gifts and canonizing official positions, on the one hand, it was to appease orphans and widows, no matter what, Sun Ce was also defeated in his own hands; On the other hand, it is to bury a nail and provoke internal disputes in the Jiangdong Group!
The strength of the Jiangdong Group is not that the soldiers are strong and strong, nor that the money and food are sufficient, but that they are united and united, and it is by relying on this cohesion that Jiangdong can resist the strong enemy and finally dominate the party!
However, as long as there are people, there will be conflicts of interest, and the Jiangdong group is not monolithic, and their biggest weakness is in the military generals, who come from different backgrounds and represent different interests......
The Jiangdong generals were divided into two factions, one was the veteran faction, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang, Zhu Zhi, and Lu Fan...... They are Sun Jian's old department, Tuo Gu's old minister, or rather, they are loyal to the Sun family, it doesn't matter who is the head of the family, as long as this person's surname is Sun!
The other faction is Zhou Yu, Gan Ning, Jiang Qin, Xu Sheng, and Zhou Tai...... They were recruited by Sun Ce and treated like siblings, so they were only loyal to Sun Ce alone, not to the Sun family, and now that Sun Ce was dead, their loyalty was naturally transferred to Sun Shao!
In the past, when Sun Ce was alive, the generals of the two factions united as one, fought bravely, and created a huge foundation, but now, brother to brother, Sun Quan is on the throne, the situation is completely different, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang...... A group of veterans will naturally support the second prince Sun Quan and continue to be loyal to the Sun family, but Zhou Yu, Gan Ning, Jiang Qin and others may have other thoughts, right?
Xiao Yi played the imperial court and canonized the official title, just to hold up Sun Shao, so that everyone in the world understands that he is the son of the Sun family and the young master of the Jiangdong Group. Nephew?
If Sun Quan is selfless and appoints his nephew as the successor, then everything is easy to say, but if Sun Quan is selfish and makes his son the successor, it will inevitably cause an uproar, and the Jiangdong generals will also be divided into two and start fierce infighting, so that the time for the demise of the Sun family is just around the corner!
It's not that Xiao Yi's methods are insidious, nor is it the use of orphans and widows, the princes are competing for hegemony in the world, which is military, political, and diplomatic...... In a word, the Sun family is crying, it is better than the people of Jiangdong crying, it is a big deal to calm the world, give the orphans and widows a wealth and peace!
