Chapter 32: Sun Ce's Decision
After Ye Zhao repaired a little in Aocang, he went down the river, led the army to cross the river from Puyang when Ji Ling captured Chenliu, and threatened Cao Cao's army stationed in Muye from the east.
The war in the north is not mentioned for the time being, Yangzhou, Jiujiang County.
It has been three years since Yuan Shu was defeated at the beginning, but he was defeated and retreated in the confrontation between Runan and Lu Bu, and in the past three years, Sun Ce has not rashly provoked a war again, not because he doesn't want to, but because those families in Jiangdong have made a lot of trouble.
Originally, according to Sun Ce's idea, that is, suppression, with iron and blood, to kill a stable rear, at the beginning, he also did this, but after the defeat of Runan, it gave Sun Ce a great blow at the same time, but also gave Sun Ce a lot of inspiration.
In fact, Sun Ce and Lu Bu have similarities, they are both the kind of princes who started with brave generals, the difference is that Lu Bu will generally collapse for a long time after failure, while Sun Ce has the resilience of a wolf, after failure, he will be frustrated, but he will summarize the experience and lessons of failure.
The last time he fought with Lu Bu, Sun Ce was given a great shock, obviously although Lu Bu was good at fighting, he was not as good as himself in administrative matters, but in the first battle of Runan, in the end, it was Lu Bu who won the hearts of the people, and he was not only defeated on the battlefield, but also lost to Lu Bu in the hearts of the people.
This made Sun Ce frustrated and frustrated at the same time, but also a little puzzled, he never thought that he was a person like Lu Bu who could only fight and did not know how to govern, and for the next three years, Sun Ce was studying this problem, which also made him gradually discover the crux of this.
It is not so much that Lu Bu won the hearts of the people, but that Lu Bu's policies were easy to win the hearts of the people, and Lu Bu's political strategy was taken from Guanzhong, and it was also the product of Lu Bu's continuous opening of the back door to the privileged class, even so, it could help Lu Bu win the hearts of the people, which shows the influence of the new policy in Guanzhong.
Therefore, in the past three years, Sun Ce has constantly sent people to inquire about the political strategy of Guanzhong, and with the help of Zhou Yu and Lu Su, in accordance with the political strategy of Guanzhong, he began to formulate a set of ways to strengthen the country suitable for Sun Ce.
After all, the success of Ye Zhao's new policy in Guanzhong and Shuzhong has its chances, Shu is closed, Ye Zhao is the main guest, and Guanzhong has experienced Dong Zhuo, Li Dao, Guo Yan and the scourge and brilliance of warlords from all sides, plus Ye Zhao secretly started, the Guanzhong family is also withered, and it is impossible to resist Ye Zhao's high-pressure policy, so Ye Zhao's almost antithetical policy can be successfully promoted.
But Jiangdong is different, Jiangdong is full of families, and all industries of Shinong industry and commerce are controlled by the family, even with Sun Ce's strength, he also chooses to suppress the local family and win over the strategy of foreign families to stabilize Jiangdong, so in Sun Ce's hands, almost all of the core Wenchen generals under him are from outside Jiangdong, such as Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, and Lu Su, all of whom are not Jiangdong people, but they are the core figures who support Sun Ce's power framework.
If they are really in accordance with the policy of Guanzhong, not to mention the Jiangdong family, I am afraid that Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong will be the first to turn their faces with him.
In the past three years, Sun Ce has been looking for a way that can be as fair as Guanzhong, and not let the family talents around him leave him because of this, in fact, not only him, Cao Cao has also been seeking such a path over the years.
It's a pity that Ye Zhao's rise has its irreproducibility, because Ye Zhao's layout of the family began after entering Luoyang, and promoted the printing technology under the pretense of Liu Hong's hand, attracting the family's anger to Liu Hong's head, while he gained a good reputation as a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty.
For example, Xi Zhicai, Li Ru and later Fa Zheng and Guo Jia, almost all of these people can resonate with Ye Zhao in concept, or in other words, there are not so many interests in the family, and they can do things with Lu Bu wholeheartedly.
As for now, Ye Zhao has become a big trend, even if it is a talent from the family to join, he can only follow Ye Zhao's set, if he is willing to join, if he is unwilling, Ye Zhao will not beg you, anyway, there is really no shortage of people today, there is no way to cultivate top talents, but talents who can do things abound.
But Sun Ce is different, the top building determines the will of the lower level, in fact, this is also the reason why Cao Cao and Sun Ce are difficult to transform, Cao Cao and Sun Ce almost all started by relying on the family, and now that the career is successful, it is unrealistic to want to kick the family away, if you want to follow Guanzhong, you can only break the wrist of the ruthless strong man, but if the situation is like today, if the strong man really breaks his wrist, I am afraid that he will not even have time to give you back breath, and he will be swallowed by the increasingly powerful Ye Zhao.
It's like drinking a donkey to quench their thirst, knowing that doing so can only lead to their own destruction in the end, but in order to survive, they have to do this, even if Ye Zhao has opened a new era, they still have to rely on the family to obtain temporary survival.
If at the beginning, the family was an arm, then now, as Ye Zhao changed the ideology of the people in the world a little bit, the family has become a cancer, and it is also a symbiotic kind, from this point of view, Lu Bu has not had so many burdens, so he can follow the Guanzhong political system without any burden, but unfortunately, Lu Bu does not have Ye Zhao's courage to stick to principles, so the original good political system has been gradually deformed, but even so, Lu Bu's political form is stronger than Sun Ce in terms of the stability of the people's hearts.
In the past three years, although Sun Ce has made several improvements, it is just some light and meager endowments, restricting the sale of land, but there has been no public ownership of the family's private land, around the determination of the little overlord, in this matter, he can't do it as simply as Ye Zhao, not to mention Zhang Hong, Zhang Zhao, and Lu Su who were recruited later, that is, Sun Ce's brother Zhou Yu, who was also from a family, such a situation, how can he move the entire class?
"Bo Fu! There's news! Zhou Yu came in with Lu Su and said solemnly to Sun Ce.
"Oh?" Sun Ce retracted his thoughts, looked at Zhou Yu and smiled, "A good thing? ”
"I don't know if it counts, but for our army at the moment, it can be regarded as good news." Zhou Yu sighed.
"What?" Sun Ce was puzzled.
"Cao Cao was defeated by Ye Zhao in Aocang with a water attack, 100,000 elites were wiped out, Cao Cao also fled to Jizhou, Ye Zhao is taking advantage of the victory to pursue, I am afraid that he has crossed the river at this moment, if nothing else, Cao Cao's defeat this time is only a matter of time." Zhou Yu took a deep breath and said.
The loss of 100,000 elites, even if Cao Cao still has troops in his hands, firstly, it is too late for these armies to be brave and good at fighting, and secondly, they are distributed in all directions, and it is difficult to assemble as soon as possible, and Ye Zhao obviously has no intention of giving Cao Cao a chance to rejoice.
"So fast?" Sun Ce raised his eyebrows, and his face became a little difficult to look at.
Although the two sides were hostile, and Cao Cao was also a huge stumbling block for Sun Ce to capture the Central Plains, but in the same way, Sun Ce still admired Cao Cao's ability very much, and when he heard the news that Cao Cao was defeated or even might be defeated, Sun Ce still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
"It's a little fast, but now isn't the time to talk about it!" Zhou Yu walked straight to Sun Ce, spread out the map and pointed to the map and said: "Bo Fu look, Cao Cao's defeat is imminent, but Ye Zhao's main focus is on the land of He/North in addition to occupying Chen Liu, that is to say, Ye Zhao's purpose this time is very clear, what he wants is He/North, as for the land of the Central Plains, Ye Zhao didn't want to care, at least before occupying the land of Hebei, he didn't want to care, but this is an opportunity for our army." ”
"Cao Cao can't be destroyed!" Sun Ce took a deep breath and said.
Even if he has the ability to capture the Central Plains, I am afraid that he will not have the extra strength to face Ye Zhao by then, and whether he wants to or not, in fact, now Cao Cao is indeed the strongest one except for a few princes, if Cao Cao is defeated, Sun Ce can only shrink Jiangdong.
"It really can't be destroyed!" Zhou Yu nodded approvingly and said: "Therefore, we want to possess the land of Qingxu and Xuzhou, if Ye Zhao captures the river/north, our army can border Ye Zhao, it seems that the battle line is extended, but these two states are close to the sea, it is the time for my Jiangdong water army, at least the supply does not have to worry, you can take the waterway to transport it to all parts of the coast, as long as we can seize the land of these two states, we can truce with Cao Cao, and the two families will jointly deal with Ye Zhao, and at the same time form an alliance with that Liu Biao, please Liu Biao send troops to the land of Sichuan and Shu!" ”
"Will Cao Cao agree?" Sun Ce frowned and said, if the river/north is lost, Cao Cao will only have a broken Yanzhou and Yuzhou left, and Cao Cao will be willing to give up Qingxu Erzhou?
"Because he is Cao Cao, he will understand that for him, this is the best way, we can resist Ye Zhao together, otherwise, if we don't let our army border Ye Zhao, then he can only fall into the dilemma of being attacked on his back!" Zhou Yu looked up at Sun Ce, his eyes flashed and said: "This is the opportunity for our army to rise, and it is also the only opportunity for the princes to join forces to deal with Ye Zhao, Bo Fu must not hesitate!" ”
"Good!" After looking at the map for a long time, Sun Ce finally nodded slowly.
