Jianye is Moling, which is the Nanjing of later generations. Sun Quan heard that Xiangshi said that Moling had a royal spirit, so after successfully becoming the lord of Jiangdong, he moved his administrative office from Wu County to Moling, and then changed Moling to Jianye, indicating that he wanted to establish an ambition to dominate the empire.

It's just that it's useless to just get a good name, the most important thing is to have strength. The defeat in the Battle of Chibi can be said to have shattered Sun Quan's ambitions. And the loss of Wu County forced Sun Quan to a dead end. The imperial court did not accept Sun Quan's request for peace, and Sun Quan seemed to have no choice but to burn the jade and stone.

Lü Meng, Jiang Qin, and Xu Sheng, who also fought out of the siege of the Han army and rushed to converge, returned to Jianye with the remnants of the defeated army, and also brought back the bad news of the loss of Wu County. Before Jianye did not become the seat of Jiangdong, Wu County has always been the center of Jiangdong, and even if Sun Quan moved the office to Jianye, Wu County is still the foundation of many Jiangdong families.

The most important thing for the family is the continuation of the family, and now that the foundation is lost, people's hearts are naturally panicked, and when it is necessary to appease people's hearts, Sun Quan, as the lord of Jiangdong, did not show up.

Sun Quan is busy! Not only did he have a headache about the Han army's strength, but he also had to worry about how to deal with the voices of opposition within the Sun family. Sun Jing's "defection to the enemy", in Sun Quan's view, is a concrete manifestation of the Sun family's readiness to give up on themselves and support his brother Sun Ce. Originally, the Jiangdong family had already begun to separate from Sun Quan with the disadvantage of the war, and now the Sun family has made up for it, so that Sun Quan can really feel the situation of his current lonely family.

According to Sun Quan's thoughts, he really wanted to kill Sun Jing with one sword. If there was no Sun Jing secretly linked, there would not be such a big turmoil within the Sun family, and if there was no Sun Jing to take the lead, the Sun family would only remain neutral, and there would be no obvious tilt towards his brother Sun Ce.

Sun Quan wanted to kill Sun Jing to eliminate the hatred in his heart, and even wanted to deter people by killing Sun Jing, but the reality made it impossible for Sun Quan to do this "very happy" thing. Sun Jing is one of the most senior people in the Sun family today, except for Wu Guotai, who is Sun Jing. Wu Guotai took the initiative to retreat to the second line because of Sun Quan's assassination of Sun Ce, and did not ask about the world, and Sun Jing naturally became the leader of the Sun family. Within the Sun family, Sun Quan did not know how many supporters Sun Jing had, and he was afraid that if Sun Jing was moved, it would exacerbate the dissatisfaction with him within the Sun family. Originally, the family had the intention to abandon Sun Quan and turn to the arms of the imperial court, if he lost the support of the Sun family, Sun Quan would not even have the last bit of confidence to keep Jianye.

Originally, Sun Quan could also go south to avoid trouble, but the house leak happened to rain overnight, although the whereabouts of He Qi of the He family in the Chibi War were unknown, but He Qi's eldest son He Da used the influence of the He family in Huiji to erect a counter-flag after the First Battle of Chibi, and publicly announced that the Huiji belonged to the imperial court. In this way, Sun Quan's road to the south was blocked, and Wu Jun lost it again, and Sun Quan really became a turtle in an urn now, trapped in a lonely city.

If Sun Quan doesn't want to die, he can only open the city and surrender, so that there is a glimmer of life. But Sun Quan did not do that, and the reason why he chose to fight the court to the end may be that his brother Sun Ce had led a large army to Jianye City.

In order to get the position of the lord of Jiangdong, Sun Quan blacked out his brother regardless of brotherhood, and at that time, Sun Quan was confident that he could do better than his brother and bring the Sun family to further glory. And now, not to mention the brilliance, the Sun family is almost over.

On the contrary, Sun Ce has been prosperous since he was taken in by the imperial court, although he could not let the Sun family achieve the goal of dominating the world, but it was not difficult to become a wealthy family. With today's trust in Sun Ce, Sun Ce's future is bright, but on the other hand, Sun Quan is about to lose his fingers.

The people who were optimistic about Sun Quan at the beginning were about to regret their intestines, but the road was chosen by themselves, and they had to stick to it whether it was good or not. Even if you want to change jobs and take another path, it depends on whether the person walking on that road is willing or not.

There are many families in Jiangdong, but only the Gu and Lu families don't have to worry. Gu Yong, the head of the Gu family, and Cai Yong have a master-apprentice relationship, Liu Xie apprenticed to Cai Yong, and naturally had a friendship with Gu Yong, as for the Lu family, Lu Xun, the previous head of the Lu family, is now a governor in the Han army. Now that the imperial court has recovered Jiangdong, it needs the head snake to appease the people's hearts for the imperial court, and the Gu and Lu families are the most suitable candidates.

At the beginning, Taoguang was obscure, in exchange for today's scenery, the Gu and Lu families were grateful to the imperial court, and they naturally did their best. And these two families know the situation of the Jiangdong family very well, who is the heart of the imperial court, who is Sun Quan's diehard, that is clear, with their assistance, it is very convenient for the imperial court Zheng Bi'e to be a friend and a friend.

After Sun Ce captured Wu County, Sun Quan really became a rabbit tail in Jiangdong and couldn't grow his tail, and those who had vowed to live and die with Sun Quan also changed their minds and began to secretly plan to seek a way back for themselves. Sun Quan saw these things in his eyes and remembered them in his heart, but in order not to exacerbate the contradictions, Sun Quan did not make a noise, at least before Lu Meng and others led the troops to withdraw to Jianye, Sun Quan was not sure to turn his face with those people.

But with Lu Meng and others leading tens of thousands of remnants of the defeated army to withdraw to Jianye, Sun Quan's confidence has increased a little, and there is no need to be polite to those who have bad intentions. In front of the people of the city, without exception, the north was beheaded to show the public, and the heads were hung on the high flagpole to set an example.

Not to mention, this trick is really effective, at least those who have the intention of finding another way to make a living stopped for a while, and they didn't dare to be so blatant anymore, and Sun Quan's ears were cleared for a while, but with Sun Ce and the generals of the Han army gathering in Jianye, Sun Quan's "good days" came to an end.

……

Compared with Sun Quan, who was already in a desperate situation, Liu Bei's situation was obviously better, at least he still had a place to live in Jiaozhou. After the failure to recapture Changsha, Liu Bei retreated to Guiyang, and after Zhang Fei arrived in Guiyang with Shamoke, Liu Bei returned to Jiaozhou under the escort of Fu Tong to continue recruiting troops. And the target of this conscription has changed from the original Han to barbarians.

When the catastrophe is coming, he can't think about the future, if he can't repel the Han army this time, Liu Bei will have no future. He could learn from the barbarians to hide in the deep mountains and dense forests, but in that case, it would mean that Liu Bei gave up the dream that he had insisted on for decades, which Liu Bei was unwilling to give up until he died.

There are many people who die for their dreams in this world, and it is not uncommon for Liu Bei to refuse to bow to reality and insist on his dreams. And for the sake of his dreams, Liu Bei can no longer care about what kind of evil consequences the armed barbarians will bring to the Han people. He opened his treasury and placed countless gold, silver, and jewels in front of the greedy barbarians.

Money talks! The yellow and white things made the barbarians lose their minds, and they made up nearly 100,000 young men for Liu Bei, and these 100,000 young men can be said to be the last capital that Liu Bei can use to fight against the imperial court, and it can also be said to be the essence of all the barbarians in Jiaozhou.

If it is not of my race, its heart will be different! Liu Xie is a staunch supporter of this statement. As Liu Xie from later generations, the blood of the Han people flows in his body, and the starting point of the consideration is naturally to start from the interests of the Han people. The great integration of nationalities that was glorified in the history books of later generations, and the Wuhu Rebellion in China, which was deliberately mentioned or not mentioned, was a history of suffering and humiliation for the Han people.

Liu Xie admired Ran Min, no matter what his starting point was for issuing the order to kill Hu, but it was his order to kill Hu that changed the situation in which the Han people were wantonly bullied and killed by the Hu people, and the Han people were still the beneficiaries in the end. However, later generations called Ran Min a villain who undermined national unity and hindered national integration. Sometimes Liu Xie really wants to ask if those who say this are Han Chinese? If so, it is a traitor who forgets his ancestors. If not, then it is excusable, his enemy, my hero. Just like the war criminals enshrined in the shrine by the Japanese in later generations, they are unforgivable war criminals for all the countries in the world that have been invaded by Japan, but for the Japanese, those war criminals are their heroes. The fact that the Japanese regard those war criminals as heroes also shows that those Japanese did not think that the aggression of the past was wrong, and they did not repent, so we need to be vigilant at all times and not be deceived by the superficial goodness.

Liu Xie came from later generations, and he had no other way than to be indignant at the shameless behavior of some countries in later generations, at most he asked himself not to use the goods of those countries and not to watch the mentally handicapped programs of those countries. But now the opportunity has come, Liu Xie is the son of the Han Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty is the most powerful country in this continent at this time.

Feudal dynasties are generally the emperor's final say! Liu Xie loves this rule to death. He can clean up whoever he wants, and he doesn't need to think about the international repercussions. If you are to be destroyed, you will be destroyed! If the future generations have nothing to do with you, then go directly to your ancestors to settle accounts! Destroy your ancestors, and see how you non-human things come out again to disgust and harm people!

No one knows why Liu Xie has such a bad impression of certain foreigners, and he doesn't care about the reason. Liu Xie is the emperor, and those who don't understand will not be unhappy with Liu Xie for a bunch of wild people who have not yet fully evolved. There are still only a very small number of virgin in these years, and even Confucianism, which is known for its benevolence, will not argue with Liu Xie about what benevolence and righteousness are for a group of barbarians who have not accepted Sinicization. For Liu Xie, who doesn't care about the evaluation of future generations, doing what he wants to do and destroying the people he wants to destroy is the most important thing.

Liu Xie didn't care about Sun Quan's life or death, although Sun Quan, a person who doesn't take face seriously, is more difficult to deal with than Liu Bei. But now that Sun Quan has been trapped in a lonely city in Jianye, the court does not accept Sun Quan's request for peace, and Sun Quan has no curse, except to die in battle or surrender, there is no third choice.

Compared with Sun Quan, Liu Xie was more interested in Liu Bei, especially when he learned that Liu Bei borrowed 100,000 troops from the barbarians in Jiaozhou at any cost to prepare to fight with him again, Liu Xie was so happy. The massacre of races, Liu Xie did not have this idea for their ethnic groups, except for trying it on the two ethnic groups now.

Although the Jiaozhou barbarians are barbarians now, in later generations, most of them are one of the fifty-six ethnic groups. For these barbarians, Liu Xie still needs to be treated differently. These Jiaozhou barbarians are hiding in the deep mountains and dense forests, and it is impossible for Liu Xie to stay in Jiaozhou in order to find these barbarians. Now that Liu Bei has gathered these barbarians together, it is tantamount to saving Liu Xie time, because of this matter, Liu Xie even has the idea of sparing Liu Bei's life.

Of course, ideas are just ideas, Liu Xie estimates that even if he is willing to spare Liu Bei's life, Liu Bei may not appreciate it. So the idea of sparing Liu Bei's life is to think about it, whether he should be ruthless or down. The most important thing at the moment is to take Guiyang before Liu Bei arrives with the barbarians, and then cut off Liu Bei's arm.

Zhang Fei is Liu Bei's diehard loyalist, and after decades of getting along day and night, no one knows Zhang Fei's temperament better than Liu Bei. So when he left Guiyang, Liu Bei did not appoint Zhang Fei as the chief general of Guiyang, but let Huo Jun, who was good at guarding, serve as the guard, Zhang Fei only acted as a general under Huo Jun, responsible for sharing Huo Jun's worries, at least until he led the reinforcements back.

For Zhang Fei, Huo Jun did not dare to instruct, even if Liu Bei warned Zhang Fei in person not to be disrespectful to Huo Jun, Huo Jun did not want to conflict with Zhang Fei, who was notoriously hot-tempered. Zhang Fei also knows this, except for showing up every day, he doesn't meet Huo Jun on weekdays, so as not to make Huo Jun play abnormally because of his presence.

Zhang Fei is quite accurate about his positioning at this time, he is a general in Guiyang, only responsible for fighting, competing with the generals in the Han army, and does not interfere in other matters. And Huo Jun also let go of his worries because of Zhang Fei's attitude, and played normally to disintegrate the Han army's offensive again and again.

Guiyang is not a big city, even if it is strengthened and expanded by Liu Bei in the later period, it still cannot be compared with a big city like Changsha. The main reason why the Han army responsible for attacking Guiyang did not attack smoothly was that the Han army itself was careless and did not prevent Zhang Fei's surprise attack, which led to serious losses of the Han army's siege equipment. Liu Xie was unwilling to use his life to fill the big hole in the siege war, so Guiyang was still in the hands of Liu Beijun. However, Huo Jun's good days are coming to an end, and as the siege equipment in the Han army is gradually completed, the day when the Han army will launch a general attack on Guiyang is getting closer and closer.

Standing at the head of Guiyang City, looking at the continuous camp of the Han army outside the city, Huo Jun couldn't help but sigh lightly. Huo Jun was very careful and didn't dare to let others know, for fear of affecting the morale of the army, but he didn't expect this sigh to be heard.

"Zhong Miao, but you're worried about the siege equipment outside the city?" Jian Yong asked Huo Jun out loud.

“…… Yes, Mr. Xianhe, Huo Jun is indeed worried about this matter. Huo Jun didn't hide his prison guard, and admitted in a low voice.
