Chapter 348: Jiangdong's Situation
Sun Ce said in surprise: "Since Gaozu swore an oath to kill the white horse, my Han cannot be the king of the opposite sex, and this King Wu child does not dare to hope for it." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Jin Liang laughed loudly and said: "Those who open up the territory and expand the territory for thousands of miles are all crowned kings, this is the title system that will be promulgated by my father in the future, and the ten-order and thirty-level title system will be implemented at that time, I hope that Ce'er can live up to my father-in-law's expectations, and I hope you can reorganize the glory of your ancestor and grandson!" ”
Jin Liang's painting pie is very large, which makes Sun Ce full of longing for the future, and the small ambition in the depths of his heart can't withstand the desire to establish a great achievement and expand the territory for the Han Dynasty.
Jin Liang looked at Sun Ce's expression, and knew that this young man was attracted by the big cake he had drawn, so he said very frankly: "With Ce'er's talent, there is no problem in sweeping Jiangdong, and it can compete with Yuan Shao and Liu Biao, who have the two major states of Jingzhou and Yuzhou, and they will not fall behind, but if you want to use the power of one state to extinguish Yuan Shao and Liu Biao, I am afraid it is unthinkable." After you pacify Jiangdong and sweep away Youzhou Gongsun Zhan, Sili Dong Zhuo, Yanzhou Liu Dai, and Xuzhou Tao Qian for your father, you should fight with you in the north and south, attack Liu Biao and Yuan Shao together, and destroy them together.
Before Yuan Shao's demise, I was not worried, and your decision-making after Yuan Shao's demise was exactly what I was worried about.
If you listen to the words of some villains, have undeserved ambitions, and vainly try to send troops from Jiangdong to plot the world like Wu Yue in the Spring and Autumn Period and Xiang Yu at the end of Qin, your father-in-law put his words here today, if you are like that, you will only end up like Xiang Yu! There are 50 million people in the Han Dynasty, 5 million in Yizhou, 5 million in Yangzhou, and the remaining 40 million are in Jiangbei, for my father, I can train 800,000 elite soldiers from 40 million people, and for my father there will be 200,000 elite cavalry at that time, how many soldiers and horses can you train from Jiangdong, and the most ideal result for you to divide Jiangdong is only to divide the river and rule the southeast, but when I am my father and I lead a million troops to the south, who will be buried with you in those Jiangdong families? When the time comes, you will not be able to stand on your own, but it will bring disaster to the Sun family of Wu County, and affect the reputation of the martial saint, I don't think this is what your father wants to see in the spirit of heaven.
Ce'er, if you follow the plan we just made, after pacifying Jiangdong, fight against Yuan Shao and Liu Biao, and after avenging your father, you will raise the sailors, pacify the islands of the East China Sea and the South China Sea, expand the territory of the Han Dynasty in the sea of thousands of miles, and be crowned the king of Wu by the Han court.
The same is the king, the one is more relaxed, the one is more comfortable, the one is longer, there is no need to say more for the father! ”
Jin Liang spoke harshly, and Sun Cehan quickly knelt in front of Jin Liang and said, "Father-in-law, Ce'er really doesn't have such ambitions, please father-in-law." ”
Jin Liang stared at Sun Ce, and said with a cold smile: "Ce'er, I don't hide it from you father-in-law, leaving your mother, younger brothers and sisters, it is indeed a hostage, it's not that I don't believe in you, it's that I don't believe in some characters in Jiangdong, they have always instigated you to set up yourself as a king for their own fame and fortune, I'm afraid that you can't withstand their persuasion, thinking that you are full-fledged and can be the king and hegemon, then it's a big mistake!" ”
Sun Ce hurriedly kowtowed and defended himself: "Father-in-law, please rest assured, the child will always be a loyal servant of the Han Dynasty, and will never rebel against the Han and stand on his own. "There is a layer of implication in Sun Ce's words, if you Jin Liang usurped the Han first, then it is no wonder that I Sun Ce.
Although Sun Ce swore with his words, and Jin Liang also said that he believed him, those hostages were still pressed on Xiangyang.
Sun Ce's mother, Mrs. Wu, his four brothers, Sun Quan, Sun Yi, Sun Kuang, Sun Lang, and his sister Sun Shangxiang, all stayed in Xiangyang, Sun Ce's brother Sun Ben also stayed in Xiangyang, and those younger brothers of the Sun family, who were not yet fifteen years old, such as Sun Ce's uncle Sun Qiang's younger son Sun Fu, and Sun Ce's uncle Sun Jing's children, Sun Hao, Sun Yu, Sun Jiao, Sun Huan, and Sun Qian, all stayed in Xiangyang, and they stayed in Xiangyang and entered the military academy in the Central University Hall, and what was instilled in them was the ideological education of loyalty to the Han and loyalty to Jin Liang.
Among the younger brothers of the Sun family, the most fearful of Jin Liang and even want to get rid of it quickly is the blue-eyed Sun Quan, Sun Quan is only ten years old, he has been born with a big mouth, his eyes are bright, he is young and old, and the other Sun brothers began to complain a lot, but as time went by, they slowly got used to it, and there were a lot fewer complaints, on the other hand, Sun Quan did not have any complaints from beginning to end, and he was obedient to all arrangements.
Sun Ce's second younger brother, Sun Yi, is only eight years old, but he already has the style of his brother Sun Ce, loves to practice martial arts, is brave and decisive, but has courage and no strategy, if he cultivates it, he can be a fierce general. After Sun Yi's death, Fei Lan wanted to occupy his wife Xu, Xu's pretended to agree, and privately summoned Sun Yi to get close to the old generals Sun Gao, Fu Ying, Xu Yuan and others designed to kill Yan Lan and Dai Yuan to avenge Sun Yi. Sun Yi, the beautiful and wise wife Xu, still doesn't know where to dig mud, even if Jin Liang wants to take it for himself, it is unthinkable, because Sun Yi's fate was changed by himself.
Sun Ce's third brother Sun Kuang, except for inheriting Sun Jian's title of Marquis Wucheng and marrying the daughter of Cao Cao's younger brother, didn't see any talent, because he died in his early twenties, and now he is only six years old, and he can't see the appearance of early death, and he also stayed in the general's mansion as a hostage.
Sun Ce's fourth brother, Sun Lang, is Sun Jian's youngest son and Sun Ce's concubine, and has always been despised by Sun Quan. Sun Lang is also known as Sun Ren, and the name Sun Ren was used by Luo Guan, Zhang Guan, and Li Daili on Sun Shangxiang. After Sun Quan ascended the throne in history, in the first year of Wu Huangwu, Wei attacked Wu, Wei general Cao Xiu out of the cave, Lu Fan led the army to Yuzhi, Sun Lang was the general of Dingwu Zhonglang, set fire to Fan Order, burned Mao Mang, and returned to Wu with a lack of military resources. Although Sun Lang is not valued by Sun Ce and Sun Quan, after all, he is still Sun Jian's son, so he should stay in Xiangyang as a hostage.
Sun Ce's younger brothers are all pressed in Xiangyang, once Sun Ce disobeys Jin Liang's intentions and wants to be self-reliant, he will be assassinated as in history, when Jin Liang's army goes south, Sun Ce'er is less than ten years old, and the dragons in Jiangdong are leaderless, waiting to be wiped out.
Jin Liang did not immediately send troops to Sun Ce, but asked him to wait for the situation in Yangzhou to change, while studying at the Military Academy in the Central University Hall in Xiangyang, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Huanjie, Zhu Zhi, Wu Jing, Sun Jing, Sun He all followed Sun Ce to study in the crash course in the Military Academy, Jin Liang instructed them to study here not to learn any military books and war strategies, but to let them slowly accept the military culture of the Central Army, accept the edification of Jin Liang's thoughts, to put it bluntly, it is a four-month brainwashing, Let them establish a minimum of loyalty to Jin Liang.
Sun Ce didn't understand why Jin Liang said that the situation in Yangzhou would change greatly, and he thought that Jin Liang deliberately left them here to waste time, but after waiting for more than four months, the news from Yangzhou convinced him.
The original Yangzhou assassin Chen Wen was the former official of the Yuan family, and he was equal to Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, but he naturally did not show mercy to Sun Ce, who had a gap with Yuan Shao, and Chen Wen still had thirty or forty thousand horses, so Jin Liang did not let Sun Ce go over before Chen Wen died. Jin Liang probably knew that Chen Wen died at the hands of Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shu, who couldn't get along in Nanyang, ran to Huainan, killed Chen Wen, and embezzled his power.
Sure enough, history repeats itself, Nanyang Taishou Yuan Shu was squeezed out by his cousin Yuan Shao, the assassin of Jingzhou, who he had always looked down on, Dong Zhuo, who occupied the Sili area, saw that their brothers were not in harmony, and robbed by fire, Yuan Shu was forced out of Nanyang, and the Nanyang area was half of Yuan Shao and Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shu was forced to retreat to the east to protect Yongqiu, and to Shouchun in the south, and the guard Chen Yu did not let him enter the city, Yuan Shu retreated to Yinling, gathered troops to attack Chen Yu, and Chen Yu fled back to Xiapi. Yuan Shu led the rest of the army to Jiujiang County. Temporarily attached to the Yuan family's former official Yangzhou assassin Chen Wen.
Like Yuan Shao's embezzlement of the foundation of Han Fu, the former official of the Yuan family, Yuan Shu took a fancy to the rich Jiujiang County in Huainan and assassinated Chen Wen. falsely claimed that Chen Wen died of illness, annexed his subordinates, and established himself as the assassin of Yangzhou. Occupy the entire territory of Jiujiang County, with Yang Hong as the long history, and Zhang Xun, Ji Ling and others as generals. Liu Xun, Hui Qu and others led private soldiers to run, Chen Ji, the surname of Danyang County, also secretly communicated with Yuan Shu, plus those Yuan protégés who were stupid all over the world and did not take Han Fu and Chen Wen as a lesson, Yuan Shu quickly gained a firm foothold in the rich Jiujiang.
Yuan Shu actively contacted Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai, the thieves of the Huai River in Jiujiang County, coerced and lured, and did everything he could. Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin looked down on Yuan Shu's style and refused to cooperate with Yuan Shu.
Yuan Shu also sent the general Ji Ling to lead his troops to attack Zhenrong, which was entrenched in Xuzhou and Xiapi.
Zhenrong is a native of Danyang, Yangzhou, and once gathered two or three hundred brave and ruthless people to cross the river to Xuzhou to attach to Tao Qian, and Zhenrong treated people politely. On the surface, he was a humble gentleman, but Tao Qian was deceived by him and made him the prime minister of Pi, the governor of Guangling and Pengcheng. Zhen Rong then indulged in unauthorized killing, and cut off the luck of the three counties into his own pocket. Then he used the money from the robbery to build temples, cast Buddha statues, read Buddhist scriptures, and recruit Buddhist disciples, and for a while, more than 5,000 families came to attach themselves to them from near and far. Zhenrong believes in Buddhism, often set up wine and rice on both sides of the road for almsgiving, stretching for dozens of miles, the common people come to watch and eat tens of thousands, the cost is hundreds of millions.
Although Zhen Rong was supported by his followers, he was not good at using soldiers, and it was difficult to resist Ji Ling's offensive and was defeated. Zhenrong couldn't stand on his feet, and was forced to go south with tens of thousands of people, relying on Zhao Yu, the Taishou of Guangling. Zhao Yu was also deceived by the face of the Buddhists of Zhenrong and trusted him very much. Zhen Rong suddenly showed his hideous face at a banquet, killed Zhao Yu in the seat, killed and plundered the army, and then crossed the river to Hushu County, Wu County.
The news that Chen Wen was assassinated by Yuan Shu reached Xiangyang, Sun Ce and others were surprised and delighted, when Chen Wen was there, there was still some prestige, which could deter Wu County too Shou Shengxian, Danyang Taishou Zhou Xin and other county officials, Sun Ce went to open up at that time, it was much more difficult, and now the difficulty is significantly reduced.
The ministers of the neutral family in the Xiangyang court all thought that they should issue an edict to condemn Yuan Shu, but they were stopped by Jin Liang, Yuan Shu was Yuan Shao's enemy, and the enemy's enemy was his ally, so it was not appropriate to condemn him.
The ministers of the Xiangyang court unanimously recommended that Liu Xuan, Donglai, Qingzhou, be the assassin of Yangzhou. Jin Liang vetoed it at the moment, he felt that Liu Xuan, as the brother of Liu Dai, the assassin of Yanzhou who opposed him, would only stand on his opposite side and become an obstacle to Sun Ce's unification of Jiangdong.
Who knew that Liu Miao learned that there was a lack of Yangzhou Assassin History, went straight to Luoyang, asked to see Dong Zhuo, got the edict of the Han Emperor, for the Yangzhou Assassin History, Liu Miao scattered his family wealth, recruited thousands of soldiers and horses, in view of Yuan Shu's occupation of Shouchun in Jiujiang County, he did not dare to be its edge, so he crossed the Yangtze River in the south and stationed troops in Qu'a, Wu County. Xue Li, the prime minister of Pengcheng, who was forced by Tao Qian to move to Moling County, south of the Yangtze River, and Xiapi Xiangzhurong, who occupied Hushu County, also served Liu Miao as the leader of the alliance. Liu Miao took Fan Neng, Yu Mi, Zhang Ying and others as generals and actively expanded his power.
Jin Liang immediately declared Liu Xuan's Yangzhou assassination history illegal, and Shunshui appointed Yuan Shu as the Yangzhou assassin and asked him to attack Liu Xuan.
At this time, the Taishou of Huiji County was also replaced by Wang Lang, Wang Lang had worshiped Langzhong for being familiar with the scriptures, and served as the magistrate of Hanqiu County, and later abandoned the official mourning because of the death of his teacher Yang Ci, and was later promoted to filial piety and honesty, and was dismissed and did not want to be killed. Later, he was promoted to Maocai by Xuzhou Thorn Shi Tao Qian, and was engaged in Xuzhou governance. At the beginning, Tao Qian was a minister to the Xiangyang court, and later Yang Biao and Zheng Tai were strangled by Jin Liang in the Xiangyang rebellion, Yang Biao was the son of Wang Lang's mentor Yang Ci, Wang Lang and Zhao Yu and Peiguo Minister Chen Qi suggested that Tao Qian send an envoy to Luoyang to show allegiance to Emperor Han Xian in Luoyang, and cut off contact with the Xiangyang court. Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty praised him after receiving the chapter, and with the consent of Dong Zhuo, he promoted Tao Qian to the general of Xuzhou Mu and Andong, Zhao Yu and Wang Lang were promoted, and Wang Lang was appointed as the chief inspector. After Wang Lang arrived at Huiji, he saw that the local people still worshiped Qin Shi Huang and shared the temple with Xia Yu. Wang Lang believed that Qin Shi Huang was a virtuous monarch who was unworthy of the people's sacrifice, so he banned this behavior. His behavior was appreciated by the auditor Yu Tuo, who went to take refuge and was appointed as Gong Cao.
Wang Lang, the Huiji Taishou, was naturally not recognized by Jin Liang's Xiangyang court, and Jin Liang instructed Yuzhang County Taishou Zhou Shu to attack Wang Lang. How could Zhou Shu fall ill and die, Jin Liang appointed Zhu Hao as the Taishou of Yuzhang County according to history, and he reorganized his troops to cooperate with Sun Ce to attack Wang Lang.
Zhu Hao is the son of Zhu Jun, the current state pastor, the right car general, his father came from poverty, so Hao is also from the Hanmen, is also the son of the tiger of the gate, good at using soldiers, because his father supports the Xiangyang court, Zhu Hao also supports the Xiangyang court, and gets the edict of the Xiangyang court, he immediately set off from the state and went to Yuzhang to take office.
Although Zhu Hao is good at using soldiers, he is good at promoting sincerity and trusting people, treating people generously, having the style of an elder, treating people with sincerity, and having a pure heart.
In history, in the second year of Xingping, Liu Xuan, the assassin of Yangzhou, ordered Zhu Rong to assist Zhu Hao, who was appointed by Liu Xuan, to attack Zhuge Xuan, who was appointed by Liu Biao, the Mu of Jingzhou, and Xu Shao, Liu Xuan's adviser, said to Liu Xuan: "Zhu Rong behaves perversely, ignores morality, and never cares about what others say about him; Zhu Hao's personality is loyal and honest, easy to put his heart into his heart, and credulous others, so he must instruct Zhu Hao to strictly prevent Rongrong! Liu Miao didn't believe Xu Shao's words. After Zhen Rong arrived in Yuzhang County, he killed Zhu Hao by killing Zhao Yu and Xue Li, and became the Taishou of Yuzhang himself. Liu Xiang was furious when he learned about it, and led his troops to attack Zhenrong, and his subordinates were scattered, and Zhenrong fled to the mountains, where he was killed by the people in the mountains and Shanyue, and dedicated the head of Zhenrong to Liu Xuan.
Jin Liang focused on the appointment of Zhu Hao in the edict to be careful of the villain Zhenrong, and at the same time warned Sun Ce, who was about to go to Jiangdong, to be careful of Zhenrong, Jin Liang later simply issued an edict, ordering Yuan Shu, Zhu Hao, and Sun Ce to send troops together to cut off Zhenrong, destroy all the Buddha statues he erected, and announce the evil deeds of Zhenrong in the past to the world, so that the people of the Han Dynasty can clearly understand what the good men and women of the so-called Buddha are!
The current situation in Jiangdong is very complicated, and Yuan Shu occupies Jiujiang and Lujiang counties, looking for opportunities for development; Liu Miao occupies the area of Qu'a in Wu County, which is regarded as occupying the lower reaches of the Yangtze River; Wu County is too conservative and prosperous, and Wu County Governor Xu Gong is not in harmony, and he is poor to deal with Yan Baihu, a thief in the territory, and has no time to take care of anything else; Zhou Xin, the inspector of the Danyang Taishou Society, relied on the elite soldiers of Danyang and rested on his laurels in the county; Wang Lang, the Taishou of Huiji County, is located outside the dispute, and he has just taken office, so he can only protect the county and the people.
In addition, Yan Baihu of Wu County, Zulang of Jing County of Danyang County, Zou He and Qian Tong of Wucheng County of Wu County, Wang Sheng of Jiaxing of Qianhepu Taishou, Xu Zhao of Yuhang County of Wu County, etc., each gathered more than 10,000 or thousands of people, forming countless small separatist forces in Yangzhou, and the people felt bitter.
Chen Wen was assassinated by Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu was promoted by Jin Liang as the assassin of Yangzhou, and Yuan Shu needed Jin Liang's support to confront the increasingly powerful Yuan Shao, so he had to establish an offensive and defensive alliance with Sun Ce in Jiangdong, and Zhu Hao, Yuzhang Taishou, also joined this alliance, and Wu County Taishou Shengxian, Danyang Taishou Zhou Xin, membership Taishou Wang Lang, and Wu County Marshal Yan Baihu felt threatened by Sun Ce, so they followed the persuasion of Liu Xuan's strategist Xu Shao and joined the alliance of Liu Xuan, the assassin of Yangzhou, appointed by the Luoyang court.
In this way, Jiangdong is the two major forces supported by the Luoyang court and the Xiangyang court are competing.
Jin Liang learned from the intelligence of the Ministry of Military Intelligence that Yuan Shao, the current assassin of Jingzhou, Yuan Shao Yuan, originally owned the two major states of Jingzhou and Yuzhou, with a population of 9 million, and almost all the families in the territory supported him, and each sent people to join, Yuan Shao's violent army was extremely fast, and now he has 150,000 troops under his command, but Jingzhou is demobilized and vast, with Nanyang County, Jiangxia County, Nan County, Changsha County, Wuling County, Lingling County, and Guiyang County, Yuan Shaogang drove Yuan Shu away from Nanyang County, the most populous county, and is carving up the 36 counties of Nanyang with Dong Zhuo, who occupies the division. Moreover, Wuling County and Lingling County are barbarian and chaotic, and there are some small and medium-sized separatist forces in each county, Yuan Shao wants to transfer people to quell the chaos, and there is no time to go north for the time being.
