Sun Ce borrowed 10,000 soldiers, 2,000 war horses, and 100,000 stone grain from Jin Liang, and won the official position of General Yangzhou, and left satisfied. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Lu Fan is the general staff of the Yangzhou Corps, and went south with Sun Ce, Sun Jian's old department Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Zhu Zhi, Sun He and others are all in the Yangzhou Corps as brigade commanders, but the following battalion commanders, captains, two chiefs, Wu Chang and other grass-roots officers are all grass-roots soldiers drawn from the Jinliang Guards Division, loyal to Jin Liang, although most of the grass-roots soldiers are from Xuzhou and Yangzhou, but they also followed Jin Liang to fight for several months, and the lord in their eyes is Jin Liang instead of Sun Ce, Sun Ce's status in their eyes was barely a little higher than that of Guan Hai of the Qingzhou Corps, and the appointment of all officers must pass Lu Fan's review, and the appointment of officers at or above the brigade commander level must be reported to Xiangyang Jinliang.

No matter how Sun Ce swore his oath, Jin Liang still couldn't believe that this little overlord who swept Jiangdong would willingly be a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, and some institutional constraints were necessary.

The reason why Jin Liang lent Sun Ce soldiers and horses, the first consideration is to curb the development of Yuan Shao in Jingzhou, and the second consideration is that Sun Ce helps Jin Liang to pacify Jiangdong, no matter whether Sun Ce is good or bad in the future, Jin Liang only needs to deal with Sun Ce alone, and will not be like Sun Ce is now to eliminate more than a dozen large and small forces in Jiangdong, which is annoying, and the third consideration is to use Sun Ce to develop Jiangnan, the current degree of development of Jiangnan is very low, most farmers plow the fields and even have no cattle and ploughs, it is better to let Sun Ce develop first, It's better than Jin Liang to come over and develop it in a few years, and another consideration is to let Sun Ce gather Jiangdong talents together, and when Jin Liang comes over, he can take it under his command. It's better than these talents scattered to other forces.

Jin Liang looked at Sun Ce's distant back, and said to Guo Jia beside him: "Fengxiao, I haven't asked you. This time Sun Jian died in battle, and Sun Ce defected to Xiangyang, why didn't I receive any news? ”

Guo Jia laughed and said, "Lord." When Sun Jian died in battle and Sun Ce fled to the Yellow River, it coincided with your wedding to Cai Shangyi, how could we use such news to touch the bad luck of the lord, and the Military Affairs Yuan deduced the order you might issue according to your strategic thinking, so that Gan Ning and Dong Xi sent sailors to save Sun Ce. Are you not satisfied with this, my lord? ”

Jin Liang shook his head lightly and said, "I never believe in anything like bad luck, such a major situation, no matter what I am doing. In the future, you must inform me as soon as possible, and leave it to me to decide. As for judging whether the matter is important or not, there is filial piety to you. ”

Jin Liang was originally very dissatisfied with the fact that these strategists of the Military Affairs Yuan had killed them first and then played this time, but thinking that he had authorized them before, it was inconvenient to be angry, but limited the scope of decision-making for them.

After sending Sun Ce away, Jin Liang summoned all the strategists of the Military Affairs Yuan and all the senior generals in Xiangyang to discuss the matter. Discussing a topic that Jin Liang had just thought of, he said: "After Yuan Shao occupied Jingzhou and Yuzhou, his power expanded extremely rapidly, and his troops were strong, and he no longer took our court seriously, and it was expected to be in the near future. He will definitely raise troops to the north, and we are now fully focused on pacifying the north, unable to advance south, how to curb Yuan Shao's development? ”

The military dean Shi Fuzhu opened the curtain on the wall with a smile on his face, revealing a huge map, which was a map of the territory of the Han Dynasty.

He said with a smile: "My lord, after more than a year of hard surveying and mapping by agents at all levels of the Ministry of Military Intelligence and all levels of the Ministry of Military Affairs, the territory map of the entire Han Dynasty is generally complete, and what is missing now is a detailed map at the county and township pavilion level. ”

Seeing that Jin Liang nodded with satisfaction, he smiled and untied a large cloth covering the large table in the middle of the chamber, and what caught Jin Liang's eyes was a huge sand table, which was stacked with reference to the large map on the wall, with hundreds of small flags inserted on it, marked with three different colors: white, gray and black.

Jin Liang smiled and asked, "Gonghe, these flags don't seem to represent the deployment of troops, right?" ”

Pointing to the various flags, he patiently explained: Now the world is in chaos, the localities are divided, and there are hundreds of forces bustling, although the forces are complicated, they can be completely divided into three kinds, one is friendly and marked by a white flag, one is hostile and marked with a black flag, and the other is neutral and marked with a gray flag.

The first kind of friendly force is the place where the edict of our Xiangyang court can take effect, among which Liangzhou Mu Huang Fu Song, Bingzhou Mu Zhu Jun, Yangzhou General Sun Ce, Yuzhang Taishou Zhu Hao, Pingbei General Zhang Yan are completely obedient to our Xiangyang Imperial Court, the imperial court edict is issued, they all obey it, in addition, there are Dongjun Taishou Cao Cao, Jibei Xiang Bao Xin, Taishan Taishou Liu Bei, Chen Liutai Taishou Zhang Miao, Guangling Taishou Zhang Chao, Youzhou Mu Liu Yu is selectively obedient to our Xiangyang Imperial Court, as long as the imperial edict does not harm their interests, They will comply, in addition, there are Wuwei Taishou Ma Teng, Jincheng Taishou Han Sui, Yangzhou Assassin Shi Yuan Shu, Jiaozhou Assassin Shi Tuxie is a great **, is to our court promise them great benefits or forced by the opponent pressure, will join forces with us, the most typical is the previous invincible Yuan Shu, he was forced out of Nanyang by his brother Yuan Shao and defeated Jiujiang, was besieged by Yuan Shao, Tao Qian, Liu Xuan, and had to bow to our Xiangyang court, which is considered a prince that our court can strive for allegiance.

The second type of hostile forces, roughly including Yuan Shao, the assassin of Jingzhou, Liu Dai of Yanzhou, Liu Biao of Yuzhou, Xianbei of the west, and Zhang Lu of Hanzhong, we are hostile to Yuan Shao, on the one hand, because he snatched Han Fu's official position as the assassin of Jingzhou, and after the robbery, he declared himself the assassin of Jingzhou without the approval of the imperial court, on the other hand, out of fear of the crazy expansion of his power; He was hostile to Liu Dai because he instigated the Yanzhou family coalition army to wait for an opportunity to attack Xiangyang and refused to meet the Son of Heaven in Xiangyang, and he was hostile to Liu Biao because he instigated the Yuzhou family alliance army to attack Xingyang County, which was controlled by the Central Army, not to mention Xianbei in the west, and Zhang Lu in Hanzhong because of the discord between Tongtian Sect and Wudou Midao's religious beliefs. In addition, Dong Zhuo, who occupies the division, is also classified as a hostile force, although we have formed an alliance with him against the Kwantung family, but we control Hedong County and Shangjun, and we are eyeing Chang'an and Luoyang, always shouting to recover Luodu, Dong Zhuo is still unable to sleep, and there is often friction between the Xiliang Army and the Central Army.

The third intermediate force is the Beiping Taishou Gongsun Zhan, the Liaodong Taishou Gongsun Du, the central and eastern Xianbei, Wuhuan, Xuzhou Thorn Shi Taoqian, Yizhou Mu Liu Yan and other forces. The hostile and neutral forces did not respect the edicts of the Xiangyang court, but the neutral forces would not help the hostile forces, and even they still had contradictions with our hostile forces, such as Maodun of Wuhuan, although he was canonized by the imperial court, but because of the historical problems left over from Zhang Ju, Zhang Chun, and Qiu Liju, he did not trust our Han court, but he has always been hostile to the western Xianbei; Although Gongsun Zhan of Beiping Taishou is currently hindered by Lu Taishi's face, he seems to be very respectful to the imperial court, but we all know Gongsun Zhan's temperament, he is by no means a person who has lived under the people for a long time, sooner or later he will have the action of disobeying the imperial court, Gongsun Du is even more self-reliant as the king to dominate Liaodong, and the central and eastern Xianbei are afraid of the power of our Xiangyang, and take a lukewarm attitude towards the Xiangyang court; Although Tao Qian listened to the words of Wang Lang and others and befriended the Luoyang court, he did not have a bad relationship with the Xiangyang court, which can be regarded as a source of left and right; Yizhou Mu Liu Yan really doesn't care about anyone and wants to be a guardian dog. ”

Jin Liang stared at the flags on the sand table, the white flags were placed crosswise with the black flags and the gray flags, and there were white goodwill forces next to the black forces that Jin Liang's central army whip was out of reach, which made Jin Liang think of a diplomatic professional word: "Long-distance friendship and close attack?!" ”

He said with a smile: "It is the close attack of distant friends, the alliance with the distant forces, and the conquest of the neighboring forces, which can not only prevent the elbow of the neighboring forces, but also make the enemy suffer from both sides and cannot compete with us." This is Fan Sui's strategy to the Qin State, after the Shang Dynasty changed the law, the Qin State became stronger and stronger, its strategic goal was to annex the Six Kingdoms, unify China, and the Six Kingdoms near and far were the enemies that the Qin State wanted to destroy. In terms of the balance of power, Qin was stronger than each of the six countries, but weaker than the union of the six countries. The Qin State could only be wiped out one by one. So among the six countries, which one should be fought first and which one should be fought last? This is why Fan Sui has a close attack from afar, hiding his own targets, pretending to be friendly to distant countries, and first attacking neighboring countries. The king of Qin adopted Fan Sui's strategy of attacking from afar and closely, and finally defeated each of the six kingdoms and unified China. ”

After the planning of Fu Zhu, Tian Feng, Guo Jia, Jia Xu and other strategists, Sun Ce, Yuan Shu, and Zhu Hao were arranged in Jiangdong to curb Yuan Shao's development on the basis of pacifying Jiangdong, and at the same time sent people to Jiaozhou to meet with Jiaozhou Assassin Shi Xie, convey the will of the Xiangyang court, and seal Tuxie as the general of Jiaozhou Mu and Zhennan, harassing Yuan Shao from the south and restricting Yuan Shao's development.

Shi Xie was born in Guangxin, Jiaozhou, his ancestors were from Shandong, and moved to Jiaozhou to avoid the chaos in the last years of Xinmang, and passed on the sixth generation to his father. Shi is a local wealthy family, Shi Xie's father Shi Ci once served as the Taishou of Ninan during the reign of Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty. When Shi Xie was young, he studied "Zuo's Spring and Autumn Period" with Liu Ziqi, a native of Yingchuan, and was later promoted as filial piety, and made up Shang Shulang, after the death of his father Shi Ci, Shi Xie was promoted to Maocai, and was appointed as the commander of Wu County, and was later appointed by the Han Dynasty as Jiaozhi Taishou.

At that time, Zhu Fu, the assassin of Jiaozhou, collected heavy taxes from all over the country, causing resistance and was killed, and the imperial court sent Zhang Jin as the new assassin Shi, but Zhang Jin "gave up the holy scriptures in front of him, abolished the laws of the Han family, tasted the head of the Jiang Patou, burned incense on the drum and piano, read the evil Taoist books, and helped the clouds", and soon killed the general of the department. After Yuan Shao, the assassin of Jingzhou, learned of this, he sent Lai Gong to take Zhang Jin's place, and at the same time sent Wu Ju to serve as the Taishou of Cangwu. In order to avoid Yuan Shao's power being too strong, at the behest of Jin Liang, the Xiangyang court issued an edict appointing Shi Xie as the assassin of Jiaozhou, in charge of the seven counties of Jiaoluan.

Shixie was grateful for the kindness of the Xiangyang court, and immediately sent Zhang Min to thank him and offer tribute, and was worshiped by the Xiangyang court as "General Zhennan" and named "Marquis of Longdu Pavilion". The current Xiangyang court can only control the north, Shixie is nominally loyal to the Han Dynasty's Jiaozhou pastor, in fact, has become a warlord who divides the counties in Lingnan, Shi's relatives mostly hold important positions in Jiaozhou, such as Shixie's three younger brothers, respectively served as Hepu Taishou, Jiuzhen Taishou and Nanhai Taishou.

Jin Liang was temporarily out of reach, so he could only let Tuxie divide his territory, adhering to the strategy of long-distance friendship and close attack, and co-opted Tuxie to deal with Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao's Jingzhou area is the later generations of Hunan, Hubei provinces and Henan Province of Nanyang City, he sits on two provinces and one city, is not enough, after the Yuzhou assassin Liu Biao as a vassal, he is ready to the north of Yanzhou, but also ready to the east of Yangzhou, Xuzhou to open up, at the same time, he will also extend his tentacles to the south of Jiaozhou.

Jiaozhou in the south, which is the Liangguang and Vietnam-Nanbei in later generations, was occupied by Jiaozhou Mu Tuxie. Because Yuan Shao's tentacles stretched too long, threatening the Tujia rule over Jiaozhou, Tuxie listened to the idea of the strategist Cheng Bing, and also adopted the strategy of distant friendship and close attack, and then sent an envoy to the Xiangyang court to show goodwill, and also sent an envoy to Chengdu to make friends with Yizhou Mu Liu Yan, and sent an envoy to Jiangdong to make friends with Yuan Shu, Sun Ce, Zhu Hao and others in Yangzhou, and at the same time sent troops to drive out Lai Gong and Wu Ju, Tu Xie later acquiesced in Wu Ju's rule over Cangwu.

Jin Liang stared at the map of the territory of the Han Dynasty, and his good impression of Tuxie spontaneously arose, because Jiaozhi County, which Tuxie had previously served as Taishou, was clearly the Yue-Nanbei of the later generations, and the entire county was outside the boundary line of the later generations.

According to legend, when the Linyi invaded Jiaozhou in the last years of the Jin Dynasty, the Linyi people had excavated Shixie's grave, and were shocked to see his complexion, and resealed his tomb. No. "Shiwang Immortal".

Jin Liang thought of the self-defense counterattack in later generations, and couldn't help but sigh, a good Jiaozhi County was abandoned by those unscrupulous descendants in later generations. It has become a paradise for those monkeys, and many of our good boys have spilled their blood there.

After sending an envoy to seal Tuxie as the general of Jiaozhou Mu and Zhennan, Jin Liang also wrote a letter to Tuxie. I hope that he will continue to open up the borders of the Han Dynasty, and promise to set up the territory opened up by Tuxie as a separate county, and make Tuxie the king of the county, so that he can enjoy the taxes of that Annan county for generations.

Guo Jia disagreed with Jin Liang's letter and said: "My lord, Tuxie was born in Confucianism, and when he was young, he studied "Zuo's Spring and Autumn Period" with Liu Ziqi, a native of Yingchuan, and later personally wrote "Spring and Autumn Scripture Notes", "Ram Notes", and "Gu Liang Notes" to the world, and his most trusted advisor Cheng Bing was also a Confucian student. Cheng Bing followed Zheng Xuan at first, and later took refuge in Jiaozhou in the northern wilderness, during which he studied the righteousness of the Five Classics with Liu Xi, so he went around the Five Classics and was appointed as the chief historian by Shi Xie. Jiaozhou, which was headed by Confucianism, had more than enough self-preservation and insufficient progress, and the lord had high hopes for him and was inevitably disappointed. ”

Jin Liang laughed. Or let people send the letter to Tuxie, Tuxie and Cheng Bing read Jin Liang's letter, looked south, and sighed in unison: "Wild land, what's the use of expanding it!" ”

Jin Liang learned that Tuxie was not enterprising. Fang Cai sighed that Guo Jia was wise enough to know people, and he still hoped that the Jiaozhou assassin Shi Buqi and the Jiaozhou general Lu Dai he cultivated would complete the mission for himself, and this mission would take at least fifteen years from now on.

Because of Yuan Shao's indispensability, Tu Xie suddenly became vigilant, and joined forces with Jin Liang to curb Yuan Shao's development, Jin Liang's strategy of distant friendship and close attack was initially realized, and then in the next step, at the suggestion of the strategists of the Military Affairs Yuan, Jin Liang instructed the Xiangyang Imperial Court to send envoys to Yizhou to make friends with Yizhou Mu Liu Yan and jointly curb the expansion of Yuan Shao's power.

Liu Yan is a descendant of King Lu Gong of Han, with the identity of the Han Dynasty clan, worship as Zhonglang, successively served as the Yang Ling, Jizhou Thorn History, Nanyang Taishou, Zongzheng, Taichang and other officials, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty in the fifth year of Zhongping, when the dynasty power declined and the world was in turmoil, Liu Yan put forward a major proposal to the court that affected the history of the Three Kingdoms, that is, to use the clan and important ministers as the state pastors, and to override the Thorn History and Taishou in the local area, and monopolize the power to stabilize the people. The imperial court adopted this suggestion, but the result was the formation of warlords in various regions, and the state ministers, including Liu Yan, were basically no longer under the control of the imperial court after taking office.

At that time, Yizhou Thorn Shi Jian gathered in Yizhou, and greed became a trend. Liu Yan, who originally wanted to lead Jiaozhou to avoid trouble, heard that Yizhou had the spirit of the Son of Heaven, so he asked the court to be the pastor of Yizhou. So Liu Yan was sealed as the Marquis of Yang City and went to Yizhou to rectify the rule of officials. Before Liu Yan arrived, Xu Jian had been killed by the Yellow Turban thief Ma Xiang, but Ma Xiang, who had just been proclaimed emperor, was defeated by the army organized by Jia Long in Yizhou. Jia Long then welcomed Liu Yan into Yizhou, and the place of governance was set in Mianzhu. Liu Yan then sent Zhang Lu, the leader of the "Five Buckets of Rice Dao", to Hanzhong with Sima Zhang Xiu of the other department to attack Hanzhong Taishou Sugu. After Zhang Lu gained power in Hanzhong, he killed Zhang Xiu, cut off the traffic, and beheaded the Han envoy, and the Liu and Zhang families had a grudge. Liu Yan cut off communication with the central court on the grounds that rice thieves were blocking traffic.

Liu Yan further attacked the local heroes internally and consolidated his own power, so Yizhou was in a semi-** state. When the princes of the world crusaded against Dong Zhuo, Liu Yan also refused to send troops and defended himself. Qianwei was too guarded by Ren Qi and Jia Long, who had previously made meritorious contributions to quelling the rebellion, raised troops against Liu Yan, but was defeated and killed by Liu Yan. Under the chaos in the Central Plains, tens of thousands of displaced people in Nanyang and Sanfu entered Yizhou, and Liu Yan was all incorporated and called "Dongzhou soldiers". Although this military force caused a lot of civil troubles, it also became a decisive force in pacifying Zhao Wei's civil strife after Liu Zhang's succession.

After Liu Yanbing became strong and strong, he had a strange thought, remembering that he had heard people talk about "Yizhou has the spirit of the Son of Heaven", so he made a car weighing more than 1,000 and wanted to be the emperor. coincided with the arrival of the edict of the Xiangyang court at this time, and Liu Yan naturally ignored it.
