Chapter 006: Entering Jiangdong

After Sun Ce went south, he went forward and was unstoppable, and Liu Xuan, who had just gained a foothold in Qu'a, was not his opponent at all, and was driven out by Sun Ce desolately, and then Sun Ce appeased the people in the local area and initially gained a firm foothold in Jiangdong.

At that time, Sun Ce had "Erzhang" under his command, and Wu had Zhou Yu, Lu Fan, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, and Huang Gai, who were already full of talents, and initially formed their own forces.

【Stabilizing Gangnam】

After Sun Ce crossed the river, he fought and was invincible, and no one could resist his offensive, so that when the people heard that Sun Ce was about to arrive, they were all lost in despair, and even officials from all over the country abandoned the city and fled and hid in the mountains.

However, Sun Ce managed the army well, after he arrived, the troops under his command were ordered not to plunder, a chicken, a dog, a vegetable of the people, could not be touched, the people were not harassed, the people were very happy, and they rushed to comfort Sun Ce's army with beef and wine.

At the same time, Sun Ce is handsome, humorous, open-minded, can accept the opinions of others, and is good at using talents. Therefore, whether it was a scholar or an ordinary person, everyone who had seen him did their best for him and was willing to die for him, so Sun Ce won the hearts of the people.

Then Sun Ce defeated Liu Xuan, the pastor of Yangzhou, Sun Ce entered Qu'a, he comforted and rewarded the soldiers, issued a lenient order, and notified the counties: "All the villagers, old friends and subordinates of Liu Xuan, Zhenrong and others, who surrendered and surrendered before, will not be blamed for the past." If you are willing to become a soldier, only one person from your family will be exempted from the burden of servitude for the whole family; Those who do not want to be soldiers again are not reluctant. In just ten days, conscripts poured in from all sides, and received more than 20,000 soldiers and more than 1,000 horses.

At this time, Sun Ce's prestige shook Jiangdong. Later, Yuan Shu recommended Sun Ce to act as the general of Yankou.

【Strict Military Discipline】

Historically, Sun Ce's troops were able to have strict military discipline and Lu Fan's contribution was inseparable. Earlier, Sun Ce's power was getting bigger and bigger, and Lu Fan saw it in his eyes, so he said to Sun Ce: "Now, the general's career is becoming more and more prosperous, and there are more and more subordinate generals, but there are still incomplete places in the army's discipline, I am willing to temporarily serve as the governor to help the general govern." ”

Sun Ce said: "Ziheng, since you are a scholar, and your subordinates command heavy troops, and have made military achievements abroad, should you be allowed to relegate yourself to such a small official position and manage the small things in the army?" ”

Lu Fan said: "Otherwise, I am now abandoning my hometown to follow the general, not for my wife and children, but for the sake of doing a good job in the affairs of the world." For example, if we go across the ocean in a boat together, if one thing is not reliable, everyone will suffer. I did this for myself, not just for the general. ”

Sun Ce smiled, unable to answer. After Lü Fan came out, he took off his single clothes, changed into a military uniform that was convenient for horseback riding, held a whip in his hand, and reported to Sun Ce's office, claiming to be the governor of the capital, so Sun Ce gave him Fu Chuan and appointed him with all the work he should be in charge of. Since then, the atmosphere in the camp has been serious and harmonious, military discipline has been strict, the ban has been thoroughly implemented, and even Sun Cejun has been able to maintain peace everywhere he goes.

When he was in Jiangdong, Zhang Hong once told Sun Ce that if Sun Ce went south, he would support him with his friends, and after Yuan Shu let him go, Zhang Hong really came as promised.

In addition to Zhang Hong, Zhang Zhao in Xuzhou also took refuge with Sun Ce at this time, when Sun Ce appointed Zhang Hong as the captain of the Zhengyi School, and Zhang Zhao as the long history, often let them stay alone, and follow him on the expedition alone, as his own support. In addition, Qin Song and Chen Duan, who are from Guangling, also participated in the decision-making.

Sun Ce treated Zhang Zhao with the courtesy of a teacher and a friend, entrusting him with all major administrative and military affairs, and even went to the church with him to meet his mother. Whenever Zhang Zhao received letters and letters from the northern scholars, they attributed the credit to Zhang Zhao alone. Zhang Zhao wanted to hide it but did not announce it, and he was worried that he would be suspected of having a personal affair, so he took into account that there might be something wrong with the report, and he was in a dilemma, and he was not at ease. When Sun Ce heard this, he smiled happily and said: "In ancient times, Guan Zhong was the prime minister of Qi State, and people opened their mouths and closed their mouths, while Duke Qi Huan dominated the princes and was respected by the world. Now that Zibu is very virtuous, I can reuse it, won't his fame be mine? ”

【Koto Vision】

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Yangzhou had a total of six counties, namely Jiujiang County, Lujiang County, Danyang County, Wu County, Huiji County and Yuzhang County. Among them, Jiujiang County and Lujiang County are basically north of the Yangtze River, and the other four counties are south of the Yangtze River.

At that time, the strongest force in Yangzhou was Yuan Shu, including Sun Ce's forces, Yuan Shu had already controlled Jiujiang County, Lujiang County, Danyang County, and Wu County, and only Huiji County and Yuzhang County were not in Yuan Shu's sphere of influence.

After Sun Ce defeated Liu Xuan, the main enemy was basically entrenched in Huiji County and Yuzhang County, but at the beginning, Sun Ce's foundation in Wu County was not very stable, Wu County Taishou Xu Gong and Yan Baihu and other forces were hostile to Sun Ce, and at the same time Liu Xuan also fled to Yuzhang County, he turned to the imperial court and Liu Biao, trying to make a comeback, and Wang Lang in Huiji was a subordinate of the former Xuzhou Mu Taoqian, and he was not very interested in Sun Ce, and Huiji was also one of Sun Ce's goals later.

Overall, Sun Ce's defeat of Liu Xuan and the occupation of Qu'a was only the beginning of Sun Ce's unification of Jiangdong.

But it is undeniable that Liu Miao as the pastor of Yangzhou, Sun Ce defeated him in one fell swoop, which is of far-reaching significance, after the failure of Liu Xuan, the nominal boss of Yangzhou, Sun Ce has actually removed the biggest obstacles.

Liu Miao is the highest governor of Yangzhou appointed by the imperial court, controls the military and political power of Yangzhou, and his strength and status are far above those Taishou, although Yangzhou has been stolen by Yuan Shu at that time, and even Shouchun of the state governance office is also in his hands, but after Liu Miao came to Yangzhou, after rectification, he was still able to confront Yuan Shu for a time, but even so, Liu Miao was not his opponent at all under Sun Ce's military situation, and was beaten and fled.

Liu Xuan's defeat added great prestige to Sun Ce, making him rise in Jiangdong overnight, but Sun Ce was still under Yuan Shu at that time, although he defeated Liu Xuan, but those local officials did not recognize the Yuan Shu group suspected of rebellion, so in Wu County, Huiji's resistance to Sun Ce did not stop, and Sun Ce wanted to unify Jiangdong and continue to work hard.

And Sun Ce did not mean to slow down at all after defeating Liu Xuan, he then pacified Wu County and went south to crusade against Huiji, Jiangdong is destined to usher in a new master, and the journey of Xiaobawang will continue.
