After Liu Xuan's death, his old department had no one to attach to in the Yuzhang area, Sun Ce then sent Tai Shi Ci to pacify and collect, and Yu Zhang at that time was too shou Hua Xin was also inactive, although he was morally noble, but obviously not an enterprising leader, seeing Hua Xin like this, Sun Ce then crusaded against Yu Zhang, and collected the last piece of the puzzle in Jiangdong.

【Taishi Fu Soldiers】

After Liu Miao died in Yuzhang, more than 10,000 of his subordinates had no one to attach, so Sun Ce ordered Tai Shici to pacify the soldiers. Both left and right said: "Tai Shi Ci will go north and not return." Sun Ce said with deep confidence: "Ziyi, he has abandoned me, who else can he go to?" Instead of his candied farewell, he took Tai Shici's wrist and asked, "When can I come back?" Tai Shi Ci replied, "It's only sixty days." "Sure enough, I returned as scheduled.

According to the "Biography of Jiang Biao", Sun Ce said to Tai Shici at that time: "Liu Biao used to reproach me for Yuan Shu's crusade against Lujiang, and I understood what he meant, but this was not the case at the time. Why? At that time, thousands of soldiers under my father's command were under Yuan Shu's command. I wanted to achieve great things, so I had to succumb to Yuan Highway and ask him for my father's old department, and only for the second time did I get back more than a thousand people. Then Yuan Shu asked me to attack Lujiang, and I had no choice in that situation. However, Yuan did not observe the observance of his courtiers, gave up self-reliance, and did not listen to my advice at all. However, the eldest husband was alive, how could he abandon the righteousness, so I broke with Yuan Shu, which is the beginning and end of my friendship with Yuan Shu and the beginning and end of my relationship with him. Now that Liu Miao has died, I regret that I did not discuss the world's major affairs with him while he was alive. Now his son is in Yangzhou, I don't know how Hua Ziyu takes care of him, what is the situation of Liu Xuan's old department, you are Liu Xuan's hometown, and he was engaged in the past, I hope you can visit Liu Xuan's son on my behalf, and inform his subordinates of my intentions, if you are willing to come, you will bring it, it doesn't matter if you don't want to come, you can comfort it. At the same time, I hope you can see how the ability of the county guard Huaxin is, see if the people of Luling and Poyang have attached themselves to him, and how many generals and soldiers you want to bring are up to you. ”

Tai Shi Ci saw Sun Ce treating him like this, and replied with gratitude: "My Tai Shi Ci has an unforgivable sin, and your belly is as big as that of Duke Qi Huan and Duke Wen of Jin back then, which is too good for me." The ancients treated this kind of kindness with life and death, and there is nothing to say about it. Now that the fighting has stopped, it is not suitable to bring a lot of soldiers, and you asked me to bring dozens of people, enough for me to pass. ”

After Sun Ce first sent Tai Shi Ci out, many people were not convinced, and there were many people who talked about it, all saying that Tai Shi Ci could not be believed, some people said that Tai Shi Ci might be left in Yuzhang by Hua Xin, as his own staff officer, and some people said that Tai Shi Ci was preparing to take refuge in Huang Zu, and deliberately took advantage of this to go north, and they all agreed that Tai Shi Ci could not be sent out. However, Sun Ce said: "What you said is not right, my judgment will not be wrong, although Tai Shici has the courage and courage of others, but he is not the kind of person who has scheming." He has the heart of a warrior, obeys morality, attaches importance to promises, and since he has promised me, then he will not fail me even if he dies, so don't worry about it anymore. ”

Later, Tai Shici really returned, and everyone was convinced.

Sun Ce finally succeeded in seizing the brief opportunity after Liu Xuan's death, subdued the remnants of his forces, and once again established his prestige, his popularity increased greatly, and he also won the allegiance of the fierce general Tai Shi Ci.

【Marching into Yuzhang】

After Tai Shici returned from Yuzhang, he not only brought the remnants of Liu Xuan, but also specific news about Yuzhang, and this information helped Sun Ce determine the strategic policy for Yuzhang.

According to the "Biography of Jiang Biao", Tai Shici said to Sun Ce after he returned: "Hua Xin's character is indeed noble, but he is not strategic, he has no clear local planning, and he can only defend himself." Danyang Yuzhi occupied Luling without authorization, and falsely claimed to have received an edict to establish himself as a taishou. The people of Poyang led another sect to defend the border, and did not accept the chief officials sent by Ziyu (Hua Xin Ziyu), saying: 'We have another county, and we need the imperial court to send Zhentai to guard it, and we will come to greet it'. Ziyu not only can't control Luling and Poyang, but recently there are a lot of people in Haidu, five or six thousand families have gathered as a clan, and they can only pay rent to the county, (he) issued an edict and no one comes, and Hua Xin can only stare dryly. ”

Sun Ce laughed when he found out, and then strengthened his determination to annex Yuzhang.

In the fifth year of Jian'an (200 years), Sun Ce defeated Huang Zu and marched east to Yuzhang, garrisoning Jiaoqiu (north of Xinjian County, Jiangxi), and said to Yu Tuo: "Huaxin is famous all over the world, but it is by no means my opponent. If you don't join it early, it will be inevitable that the golden drum will shake in the future, the battle situation will begin, and the lives will be ruined. Go into the city, and tell him what I mean. ”

According to the record of "Hu Chong Wu Calendar", Yu turned the order into the city, saw Yu Zhang too shou Hua Xin, Chen Ming's interests, Hua Xin replied: "I stay in Jiangnan all the year round, I really want to return to the north, since Sun Huiji is here, then I will leave." Yu turned back and reported to Sun Ce, so he marched. Hua Xin opened the door to welcome, and Sun Ce said to Hua Xin: "The prince of the mansion is old and famous, and people near and far respect him, and I, Sun Ce, am young, so I should give you the gift of a disciple." Then he bowed to Hua Xin.

According to the "Jiangbiao Biography", after Yu turned away, Hua Xin invited Gong Cao Liu Yi to discuss together, and Liu Yi persuaded Hua Xin to open the city gate and surrender. Hua Xin resisted a little at first, so he said: "I was appointed by Liu Tingshi and the imperial court, I am a regular official, and I have the responsibility to defend the land. ”

Liu Yi said: "Wang Jingxing (Wang Lang) was also used by the imperial court, and at that time, the people were strong, and they were not forgiven in the end, what are you worried about?" So Hua Xin surrendered and was treated as a guest by Sun Ce.

After Sun Ce seized Yuzhang, he divided a part of it and set up Luling County, appointing Sun Ben as Yuzhang Taishou, Sun Fu as Luling Taishou, and Zhou Yu as the protector of Baqiu. At that time, there was Liu Pan, the son of Liu Biao, who was very brave and made several times in Ai and Xi'an counties. Sun Ce then divided Haidu, Jianchang as a total of six counties, and Tai Shici as the governor of Jianchang, and ruled Haidu, and supervised the generals to reject Liu Pan. Liu Pan has since disappeared and ceased to be a coward.

【Death of Tai Shi Ci】

Tai Shi Ci is seven feet seven inches long, has a beautiful beard, has long arms, and is good at archery. He once followed Sun Ce to conquer the thieves in Mabao. The thieves cursed on the edge of the barracks, holding on to the beams of the building, Tai Shici drew a bow and an arrow, and an arrow pierced the man's hand and nailed it to the beam, and the tens of thousands of soldiers surrounded by him were all praised. That's how wonderful it is. When Cao Cao heard Tai Shici's reputation, he sent him a letter, sealed it in a small box, and when he opened it, there was no letter in it, but it was filled with the Chinese herbal medicine Angelica, which meant that Tai Shici should surrender to him.

After Sun Quan came to power, he entrusted him with the management of the affairs of the south, considering that Taishi Ci could subdue Liu Pan. In the eleventh year of Jian'an (206), Tai Shici died, and his son Tai Shixiang became the captain of the Yue Cavalry.

According to the "Book of Wu", when Tai Shici was dying, he sighed: "The eldest husband was born in the world, and he should carry a three-foot long sword to ascend to the Son of Heaven." Now I haven't followed my will, but I'm going to die! ”
