Chapter 347: "Painting Cakes"

It was Lu Fan who sent Sun Ce back to their pavilion, and Lu Fan put forward Jin Liang's last request: "The general admires General Huang Gai more and hopes that he can stay and serve the imperial court, and if Sun Ben is in your army, it will affect your command of the army, and the general wants to keep Sun Ben in the army." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Among the three veterans of Eastern Wu, Cheng Pu's impression of Jin Liang is only because he is the oldest and the oldest, and there is no bright spot in addition to this, Han Dang is good at bows and arrows, riding skills and extraordinary strength, charging into battle every time he fights, taking the lead, but he seems to be a little brave and unstrategic, and Huang Gai is not only brave and strategic, but also good at governing the place, Huang Gai is serious, good at training soldiers, every time he fights, his troops are brave and good at fighting. In history, Sun Quan ascended the throne, the mountains are more and more unwelcome, Huang Gai is active in the front line of Zhenfu Shanyue, nine counties before and after, where Xiping is located, Cao Cao launched the battle of Chibi in the thirteenth year of Jian'an, Huang Gai offered Zhou Yu a fire attack strategy, and personally went to the deception to surrender, burned the warship, and severely damaged the enemy. Jin Liang felt that Huang Gai's talent was no less than Huang Zhong, and even surpassed, Jin Liang wanted him to be alone, and the direction of the monopoly was Liu Biao, who had a grudge against him.

As for Sun Ben, at one time, his position in Sun Jiajun was higher than that of Sun Ce. Sun Ben's father is Sun Jian's elder brother Sun Qiang, Sun Ben's parents died early, his younger brother Sun Fu was still a baby, and Sun Ben raised Sun Fu alone. Sun Ben was the county governor and postmaster at the beginning, Sun Jian raised troops in Changsha, and Sun Ben abandoned the official to follow Sun Jian. Sun Jian died in battle, and it was Sun Ben who led Sun Jian's troops to support the coffin, not Sun Ce.

Historically, Yuan Shu migrated to Shouchun, and Sun Ben went to attach. Yuan Shao appointed Zhou Ang, the auditor, as the Taishou of Jiujiang, and Yuan Shu was furious and sent Sun Ben to attack Zhou Ang and defeat him at Yinling. Yuan Shu then cousin Sun Ben led the history of Yuzhou assassination, transferred to Danyang Duwei, marched to capture the general, and participated in the Pingshan Yue. After Yuan Shu occupied Shouchun, Liu Xuan, the assassin of Yangzhou, moved to Qu'a and expelled Sun Ben, who had to return to Liyang. Soon, Yuan Shu ordered Sun Ben and Wu Jing to join forces to attack Liu Xuan's generals Fan Neng, Zhang Ying and others, but failed to break through. Sun Ce later came to Jiangdong and helped Sun Ben and others defeat Zhang Ying and Fan Neng, and pursued Liu Xuan, who was defeated and took Yuzhang. In the second year of Jian'an, Yuan Shu was proclaimed emperor in Shouchun, when Sun Ce sent back Sun Ben and Wu Jing to report to Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu appointed Sun Ben as the Taishou of Jiujiang, but Sun Ben did not obey and abandoned his wife and children and returned to Jiangnan. When Sun Ben arrived, Sun Ce had pacified Wu County and Huiji, and conquered Liu Xun and Huang Zu of Jiangxia with Sun Ce, and when he returned to the army, he knew that Liu Xuan was sick and died, so he pacified Yuzhang, and Sun Ben led Yuzhang Taishou, and later sealed the capital Tinghou.

As soon as Sun Ce heard that Jin Liang wanted to keep Huang Gai in Xiangyang, he hurriedly said to Lu Fan: "Mr. Ziheng, there are already few soldiers under Ce, and General Huang is a wise and brave general, if he is not assisted, it may be difficult to pacify Jiangdong against Yuan Shao." ”

Lu Fan said with a smile: "General Bo Fu doesn't need to worry too much, Jiangdong is so heroic and talented, you should be able to recruit a lot for you to drive when you arrive in Jiangdong." ”

Sun Ce was at a loss and said, "Mr. Ziheng, can you tell Ce, what are those heroic talents in Jiangdong that can be requisitioned?" ”

Lu Fan shook his head lightly and said: "The Great General has a book of great Han virtues, which records the talents of various places, Bo Fu, you can go to the Great General to inquire." ”

Sun Ce's handsome face showed a hint of cringe and said, "The general is afraid that the general will not tell me?" Originally, Jin Liang was still digging the foot of the wall from himself, how could he be willing to keep some heroic talents for him to drive?

Lu Fan smiled and said: "Bo Fu, you have worshiped the general as your father-in-law, you are all a family, if you don't talk about the two families, the general will never hide anything from you." The general once conquered those Jiangdong talents, but unfortunately most of the talents are attached to their homeland and do not want to come to Xiangyang, Bo Fu you were ordered by the emperor to go to pacify Jiangdong, as soon as the righteous division arrives, Jiangdong heroes will look at the scenery from. ”

Lu Fan thought in his heart, those Jiangdong families were unwilling to leave their homeland, they could not be used by the lord, and they could not be cheapened by Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others, and it was the best choice for the lord to recommend him to Sun Ce.

The next day, Sun Ce went to visit Jin Liang and asked to see the book of virtuous people of the Han Dynasty.

Jin Liang not only took out the book of Han Virtuous and Good Men cheerfully, but also spread the map of the Great Han Territory on the table for Sun Ce to read.

Jin Liang pointed to a place in Yangzhou. smiled and said to Sun Ce: "Ce'er, this is Wu County, that is, your homeland. There are not only hundreds of your relatives there, but also many capable people. Gu Yong, a native of Wu County, Wu County, was a senior disciple of Cai Yong, the imperial master of the dynasty. But he is only twenty-four years old, but he knows how to deal with government affairs and can assist you in handling political affairs. Zhu Huan, a native of Wu County, Wu County, is fifteen years old, although he is young, he is very courageous and can be a general. Ling Cao, a native of Yuhang, Wu County, is chivalrous. If you have the courage, you can be a general. In addition, Zhang Wen, a native of Wu County, and Wu Cang, a native of Wucheng, are both talented in governing politics and can be used. ”

Sun Ce's admiration for Jin Liang arose, as a native of Wu County, his understanding of the talents of his fellow villagers was not as good as that of Jin Liang.

Jin Liang pointed to another place and said, "This is Huiji County, there are two virtuous people you should pay close attention to." He Qi, a native of Huiji Shanyin, has a deep strategy. You can let him pacify Shanyue.

This person is nearly twenty-eight years old, talented and civil, and easy to learn, and the most commendable thing is his personality. If this person is by your side, he can always persuade you, so that you will not repeat the mistakes of Lingzun.

This is Lujiang County, Lujiang Songzi Chen Wu, deep general, benevolent and giving, the township and distant guests rely on it, can not but rely on it. ”

Jin Liang lit a place and said with a smile: "This is Guangling County, Xuzhou, although it is not Jiangdong, but there are two talents, you must mention, you can be friends with the talents mentioned above, you need to take these two talents as teachers, one is Zhang Zhao, the other is Zhang Hong, and the two have great talents." In addition, there are people from Guangling County, Qin Song's character list, Chen Duan's character is positive, and these two talents also want to be recruited. ”

After talking about these characters, Jin Liang smiled and asked Sun Ce: "There is one person who can be your deputy, you lead the army, he leads the army, and the two roads go hand in hand, and they can sweep Jiangdong. ”

Sun Ce laughed loudly and said: "Father-in-law, are you talking about Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin, who are from Shu County, Lujiang? ”

Jin Liang nodded and smiled: "It's this person, Ce'er, you know a lot about Gong Jin's talents, and you don't need to say more for your father." As a father, I hope that your brothers will cooperate sincerely to sweep Jiangdong together and fight against Yuan Shao and Liu Biao's traitors. ”

The Gu Yong, Zhu Huan, Ling Cao, Zhang Wen, Wu Cang, He Qi, Yu Tuo, Chen Wu, Zhang Zhao, and Zhang Hong recommended by Jin Liang on this are all refusal to go to Xiangyang because of the long distance that Jin Liang has made many expeditions, among which Gu Yong, Zhu Huan, Zhang Wen, He Qi, Yu Tuo and others are all prominent families in Jiangdong, and the others are also local wealthy families, and they refuse to leave Jiangdong, which is also reasonable, and Jin Liang does not have much resentment towards them. Jin Liang recommended them to Sun Ce, so that they would not be used by Yuan Shao in the future.

There are still a few people Jin Liang who did not recommend to Sun Ce, namely Lu Su, Kan Ze, Yan Ji, and Bu Qi.

The real Lu Su is different from the humble gentleman in the romance, the Battle of Chibi and the post-war Dongwu was able to divide three points, on the surface it is the credit of Zhou Yu, but in fact it is the work of Lu Su's planning, it is Lu Su who proposed to unite with Liu Bei to resist Cao Cao, it is Lu Su who proposed to lend Nanjun and let Liu Bei help him resist part of Cao Cao's strength, if there is no Lu Su, Dongwu will face Cao Cao, and it is difficult to say whether the outcome will be said.

The reason why Jin Liang did not recommend Lu Su was because he didn't want Lu Su to come out to stimulate Sun Ce's ambitions. In the official history, after Lu Su saw Sun Quan, he proposed, "Emperor Gao in the past wants to respect the righteous emperor but does not get it, and Xiang Yu is harmful." Today's Cao Cao, Xiang Yu in the past, why did the general have to be Huan Wenhu? Suppressing the theft, the Han family cannot be revived, and Cao Cao cannot be eliminated. For the general's plan, the only way to stand in Jiangdong is to watch the provocation of the world. There is no suspicion of such a scale. Who? The north is honest and multi-tasking. Because of its many affairs, he eliminated Huang Zu and invaded Liu Biao, which was extremely popular with the Yangtze River, according to it, and then built the emperor to map the world, and the cause of this high emperor was also. "Stimulated Sun Quan's ambition to the roof.

In the Battle of Chibi, it was Lu Su who said, "To investigate the opinions of the people, I want to mistake the general, and I am not enough to do big things." Today, Su can meet the ears, such as a general, not also. Why? Today, Su welcomes the exercise, and the operation should be returned to the township party. Taste its name, still do not lose Cao engaged, take the calf car, from the officials, to the travel Shilin, tired officials so do not lose the state and county. The general welcomes the exercise, and wants to return in peace? I hope to make a big plan as soon as possible, and don't use everyone's opinion to "strengthen Sun Quan's determination to resist Cao Cao."

If Jin Liang is in Sun Ce's position, the first talent to be recruited is Lu Su, as soon as Lu Su meets Sun Ce, Sun Ce's ambition may be aroused, and Sun Ce will wholeheartedly think about using Jiangdong to fight for hegemony, but Jin Liang is committed to unifying the Han Dynasty and does not want to have a self-reliant Jiangdong force, so Lu Su has become the target of Jin Liang's assassination if he can't get it.

The key to Lu Su to Sun Ce's command is Zhou Yu, once Zhou Yu arrives under Sun Ce, he will quickly recommend his friend Lu Su, as soon as Lu Su arrives, he will sell his own strategic overall situation, advocating Sun Ce to be the king and hegemon, which Jin Liang cannot tolerate, so Jin Liang stepped up to let people frequently conquer Lu Su, and at the same time prepare for the worst, if Lu Su is persuaded by Zhou Yu to defect to Sun Ce, he will send someone to assassinate Lu Su.

Kan Ze is a great talent who has been overlooked, and his historical contribution to Eastern Wu is no less than that of the four governors. Kan Ze was born in a peasant family, he was studious when he was young, because his family was poor and had no money to buy books, so he copied books for people, so as to read a wide range of books and study knowledge, not only for Confucianism, but also for the calendar, mathematics, so he is famous. Kan Ze was the first to see through Zhou Yu's bitter plan to beat Huang Gai, and then volunteered to offer a book of fraud to Cao Cao, Cao Cao still did not change his face after seeing through it, laughed, and made Cao Cao believe in the book of fraud, and he was a key figure in the bitter meat plan, and also a key figure in the victory of the Battle of Chibi; Later, when Liu Bei drove the imperial expedition to Eastern Wu, it was Kan Ze who recommended Lu Xun to Sun Quan as the governor, which indirectly saved the fate of Eastern Wu and saved Eastern Wu from falling immediately, showing his great wisdom, this scribe from a poor peasant family, at a critical time, was much better than the kneeling and surrendering performance of those ministers of Jiangdong, and it was precisely because of this that Jin Liang was reluctant to recommend Kan Ze to Sun Ce.

Yan Liang is valued by Jin Liang because he is a really talented person, and there are many strategists who give him advice, Jin Liang is not rare, and the rarest thing he is now is those talents with real professional talents. When Yan Jian was young, he concentrated on learning, good at "poems", "books", "rites", etc., and Zhuge Jin, Bu Qi are equally famous, and the relationship is very close, he is simple and kind, and people are kind, Yan Jian wrote China's earliest tidal science monograph "Tide Theory", in addition to the author of "The Book of Filial Piety".

Bu Qi is a descendant of the Huaiyin Shi clan Bu clan, and Sun Quan's wife Bu is of the same clan as him. At the end of the Han Dynasty, Buqi moved to Jiangdong to avoid chaos, and after arriving in Jiangdong, he was alone, and lived a difficult life, and then met and made friends with Wei Jing, a Guangling man of the same age, and the two were self-sufficient by planting melons during the day, and studied hard at night. Buqi learned a wide range of knowledge and skills, all kinds of books were not read through, he had a broad and deep personality, and was able to bend his temperament and humiliate himself. In history, he guarded Xiling for 20 years, and Cao Wei's border soldiers all admired his prestige. He has a generous temperament, is very popular, moody and emotional, and always behaves very respectfully both internally and externally, and once replaced Lu Xun as the prime minister of Soochow.

Once Sun Ce was really told by some people to be moved to stand on his own, when Jin Liang personally led the army to attack Eastern Wu, those Jiangdong families would take into account their own interests, and they would persuade Sun Ce to surrender as they did during the Chibi War, and even secretly colluded with Jin Liang.

Sun Ce looked at the talents recommended to him by Jin Liang, and after a little calculation in his heart, he found that the talents of the generals were still much less, so he bowed down and said, "Father-in-law, the child has something to ask for?" ”

Jin Liang smiled: "Ce'er, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Sun Ce's handsome face showed a look of embarrassment and said: "Father-in-law, there are many rivers in Jiangdong, and there is a need for a great water master, how can the soldiers under the command of the child and the soldiers recommended by the father-in-law have very few water war talents, the father-in-law, the child was rescued by the general Dong Raid under the command of the father-in-law, and I deeply feel that this person is familiar with water warfare and wants to ask my father-in-law for this person." ”

Jin Lianglang laughed loudly: "Ce'er, Zhou Yu, He Qi, Ling Cao, and Chen Wu are all good at water warfare, how can it be said that there are no water warfare talents." By the way, my father-in-law will recommend two more people to you, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, who are from Jiujiang, although these two people are water thieves in Jiujiang and loot for a living, but they also have a way to steal, they are righteous thieves, they have more than 1,000 water thieves under their command, if they can be subdued, they can be a big help for your water master. After winning Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, you can order Zhou Yu to lead Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin to train the navy in Poyang Lake, and the 20,000 navy army can control the Yangtze River, so that Yuan Shao's rebels cannot run rampant on the Yangtze River. ”

Among the Jiangdong talents who helped Sun Ce and Sun Quan's brothers establish the foundation of Jiangdong in history, there are now Lu Xun, Lu Meng, Zhuge Jin, Gan Ning, Lu Fan, Lu Dai, Dong Xi and others under Jin Liang's command, among these people, Jin Liang only transferred Lu Fan to be Sun Ce's general staff, which is actually the director of the army, and other talents Jin Liangcai did not want to give Sun Ce, Jin Liang felt that the team he now recommended to Sun Ce was enough for him to pacify Jiangdong against Yuan Shao, and if he gave him more talents, Sun Ce would have ambitions that he should not have.

Jin Liang frowned slightly, and said with an embarrassed look: "Ce'er, compared with you, there is a shortage of generals in the water army under your father-in-law, there are only three people, Lu Dai, Gan Ning, and Dong Xi, and Dong Xi will not send it to you." ”

Sun Ce said with a smile: "The child has also heard of the names of Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin, if these two people are to serve, then they will not work hard to attack the general." ”

Jin Liang ordered someone to take a map of the world that he had drawn and put it on the table.

Jin Liang stared at the map, and he was thinking about whether he should tell Sun Ce about his worries about him and his expectations for him.

Sun Ce was surprised: "Father-in-law, where is this map, why can't the child understand it at all?" ”

Jin Liang had made up his mind not to tell Sun Ce what he expected of him, but Sun Ce took the initiative to ask questions, and Jin Liang had to explain to Sun Ce: "Ce'er, this is the world map. This world is divided into three parts of land and seven parts of the ocean, and in three parts of the land, our Han accounts for less than one-twentieth of it. ”

Sun Ce's eyebrows jumped, and he pointed to the dark blue area in surprise and said, "This large area refers to the ocean?" ”

Jin Liang nodded, pointed to the sea area east of Wu County, and said, "Not bad." This deep blue area is full of ocean, and the East China Sea that you have seen before is only a small part of it, and the Bohai Sea that we saw is like a pond compared to this vast ocean. ”

Speaking of which. Jin Liang sighed deeply and said: "Even so, we can't occupy all of the Bohai Sea, East China Sea and South China Sea, and we have to share them with those small countries. ”

Sun Ce's handsome face was full of confusion and said, "Father-in-law." What is the use of this ocean after it is occupied? ”

Jin Liang shook his head and sighed: "Ce'er, you grew up by the sea since you were a child, why are you so ignorant of the sea?!"

It seems to you that there are so many islands in the south of the South China Sea, the Wa Archipelago in the east of the East China Sea, the Goguryeo Peninsula on the other side of the Bohai Sea, and there are countless small islands around these large islands, many of which have gold and silver minerals to be mined. There is also a lot of fertile land to cultivate, and there are countless fish and shrimp in the sea to eat, and these seas, together with larger seas, sell the silk, tea, and porcelain of our Han Dynasty to other countries of the world through ocean-going trade, and earn their gold and silver specialties, and control these seas can control the ocean-going trade.

In addition, there are many minerals on the seabed, and if there is a way to dig them out. Sitting on this ocean is like sitting on a large treasure mountain. ”

Sun Ce still looked at Jin Liang suspiciously: "Father-in-law, how do you know so much?" The child remembers that you have always lived in Bingzhou. ”

Jin Liang smiled mysteriously and said, "Regarding this point, you go to your godfather Fu Han Heavenly Master Yu Ji tomorrow to explain, and he will tell you." ”

Sun Ce doesn't dwell on this issue. He continued to ask, "Father-in-law, do you want the child to send troops to occupy these islands and oceans?" ”

Jin Lianglang laughed and said: "Ce'er, for my father, we take the estuary of the Yangtze River as the boundary, the waters south of the Yangtze River belong to you, and the waters of the north of the Yangtze River belong to you to remediate, and the waters of the north of the Yangtze River belong to the Lu Dai Bohai Sea Division."

My father hopes that you will order Zhou Yu to prepare for the establishment of the Yangtze River Naval Division, and form an East China Sea Division to occupy the islands of the East China Sea, especially this Yizhou Island, and after occupying Yizhou Island, you can march to the Japanese Islands. When you occupy Jiaozhou in the future, you will prepare a South China Sea naval division to occupy this Hainan Island, and continue to march into the small countries of Funan and Tangmingpuer, and then occupy this southeast island. ”

Jin Liang made a very solemn promise: "Ce'er, for my father, I hope that you can turn the East China Sea and the South China Sea into the inland sea of my Han Dynasty, and when the time comes, my father will definitely go to the sky, make you the king of Wu, and Yongzhen Southeast Sea Frontier for generations!" ”
