Chapter 010: Jiangdong is coming
After Cao Rui came to power, Sun Quan thought that there was an opportunity, so he personally led his troops to attack Jiangxia County, where Wenpin was stationed, and also sent Zuo General Zhuge Jin and others to attack Xiangyang, but they were all unfavorable.

However, Sun Quan eventually sent Hu Zong, Zhou Yi and others to quell Peng Qi's rebellion.
【Koto Attack】
Cao Rui ascended the throne in May of the seventh year of the Huang dynasty (226), and Sun Quan sent troops to capture Jiangxia in August of the same year, and then ordered the troops of Wu Zuo's general Zhuge Jin to attack Xiangyang in two ways.
At that time, Sun Quan invaded Jiangxia County, Jiangxia Taishou Wenpin held the city, and the ministers of the court and the central government played one after another to ask for troops to be rescued. Emperor Cao Rui of the Ming Dynasty said to them: "Sun Quan's army is good at water warfare, and the reason why the Wu army dared to turn to the land siege without water warfare this time was just to take advantage of the lack of strict defense and make a surprise attack. But at that time, they can compete with them, and they do not have a clear advantage, so they will not last long. ”
Sun Quan attacked Shiyang with 50,000 people, surrounded Wenpin, and the situation was urgent; However, Wen Ping held on to the city, Sun Quan could not attack repeatedly, and he was stationed for more than 20 days without results, so he had to withdraw the army and horses. Wen Ping heard the letter, Kaesong led the troops to pursue, and broke the Wu army and returned. As a result, the number of households increased by 500, and the total number of households was 1,900.
According to the record in "Wei Luo", there are some discrepancies between the record and this biography: Sun Quan personally led tens of thousands of troops to Jiangxia. At that time, it was raining heavily, and most of the city gates in Jiangxia had collapsed, and the people were scattered among the fields, and it was too late to return to the city to repair the defense project. When Wen Ping learned that Sun Quan was coming, he didn't know what to do at first, but later thought that the current situation could only be deterred by suspicion. So Wen Ping ordered all the people in the city to hide, not to let Sun Quan see it, and he could not afford to lie in the house. Seeing this, Sun Quan was really suspicious, and said to his generals: "The north (Cao's group) thinks that this person (referring to Wenpin) is a loyal minister, so he entrusts him with this county, and now our army is so big that he is silent, in this case, if he does not have a secret plan, then there must be external help." So he did not dare to attack and retreated.
Prior to this, Emperor Ming had sent Shi Xunyu to comfort the soldiers on the border, and when he learned the news of the invasion of the Wu army, he gathered soldiers and horses from various counties along the way to Jiangxia, plus a total of more than 1,000 cavalry from the cavalry guards around him. Arriving outside Jiangxia City, Xun Yu commanded the army to take advantage of the mountain situation to raise fire to attack the Wu soldiers, and the Wu army retreated.
In December of the same year, the Eastern Wu generals Zhuge Jin and Zhang Ba led their troops to invade Xiangyang. Sima Yi, the general of the Fu army, commanded the Wei army to break the Wu army and behead Zhang Ba. Cao Xiu, the general of the expedition to the east, also defeated the other Eastern Wu armies in Xunyang. At that time, Wu General Shende was stationed in Anhui City, and Cao Xiu broke it, killed Shende, and surrendered Wu generals Han Zong, Zhai Dan and others. Then he increased the number of towns by 400, and the first 2,500 households, moved to Da Sima, and became the supreme commander of Cao Wei's army, and the governor of Yangzhou was the same.
【Peng Qi's Rebellion】
In the winter and December of the fourth year of Huangwu (225), when Emperor Wen was still there, the thief Kou Pengqi of Poyang proclaimed himself a general, attacked the counties, and led tens of thousands of people to rebel.
More than a year later, Sun Quan took Zhou Yi as the Taishou of Poyang, attacked Hu Zong, captured him alive, and put down the rebellion.
According to the "Biography of Sun Zibei", at the beginning, Peng Qi claimed to raise troops to revolt and conquer Wu for Wei, and some ministers suggested that they would take the opportunity to attack Wu and they would definitely succeed. Emperor Ming asked Sun Zi, a native of Taiyuan, who was in Zhongshuling, and Sun Zi said: "The strong clan of Poyang has had several incidents before and after, but the number is not large, and the knowledge is shallow, and they all dispersed soon. In the past, Emperor Wen had analyzed the situation of Wu in detail, saying that our army killed 10,000 Wu soldiers and civilians in Dongpu and captured more than 1,000 warships, but in a few days, the Wu army gathered people and ships together; Jiangling was besieged for several months, and Sun Quan only led 1,000 or more soldiers to be stationed at the east gate of Jiangling, while there was no major turmoil ~ turmoil in Wudi; This is clear evidence that they have strict law and discipline and that they have upheld each other. Based on this, it can be inferred that after Peng Qi's incident, I am afraid that it will not become Sun Quan's confidant. At this point, Peng Qi really failed.
【Cao Wei and Sun Wu】
Before Cao Rui took power, Cao Wei and Jiangdong forces have been negotiating for a long time, earlier Cao Cao and Sun Ce, Sun Quan and so on were in a semi-alliance relationship, and later Cao Cao was powerful, Sun Quan joined Liu Bei to fight against Cao Cao, and then Liu Bei rose, Cao Sun and Cao Sun jointly suppressed it, and the relationship between Sun Quan and Cao Wei during the Cao Pi period was once extremely close, but it broke down with Sun Quan's dishonesty, and Cao Pi began to suppress Sun Wu for a long time.
During the Sun Ce period, Sun Ce began to need the imperial court as foreign aid because he had just become independent, and Cao Cao and others also needed Sun Ce to restrict Yuan Shu and Liu Biao, so the two sides formed a semi-alliance relationship, but later Sun Ce was powerful and was ready to take the initiative in the north, but because he was assassinated.
When Sun Quan first came to power, the situation was unstable, and Cao Cao failed to take Jiangdong into account in order to clean up Yuan and Liu Biao, so he let Jiangdong fight against Jingzhou, and when Cao Cao pacified the north and occupied Jingzhou, Jiangdong naturally became his next target.
In order to confront the powerful Cao Cao, Sun Quan and Liu Bei began to work closely, and the combined forces of the two sides successively defeated Cao's army at Chibi and Jiangling, initially reversing the situation, and later Cao Cao and Sun Quan launched a long-term tug-of-war on the Jianghuai line, Sun Quan was twice blocked from Hefei in the north, and Cao Cao could not cross the Yangtze River in the south.
Sun Quan chose to sue for peace and strike after a long period of fruitless tug-of-war, when Liu Bei's rapid development also caused Sun Quan's worries, in the Xiangfan War, Sun Quan in order to seize Jingzhou, united with Cao Cao, betrayed Cao Cao, Sun Liu broke up, Cao Wei and Jiangdong began a period of peace.
After Cao **, Cao Pi ascended the throne, Sun Quan in order to prevent two-sided battles, a big win over Cao Pi, Cao Pi just got the position, did not pay attention for a while, was Sun Quan wanted, and then Cao Pi finally found that Sun Quan was insincere, so he went south, and the relationship between Wei and Wu broke down, after that, Cao Pi went south three times, and Wei basically suppressed Jiangdong.
After Cao Pi's death, Cao Rui came to power. Compared with his father, the situation faced by Cao Rui was much worse, at that time Shu Han had recovered its national strength, and Sun Wu was bullied by Cao Pi and wanted to get it back from his son, so when Cao Rui was in power, he mainly defended Shu and Wu, which was very different from Cao Cao's attack and defense before, and Cao Pi's large-scale pressure.
In the early days of Cao Rui's rise to power, Sun Quan was ready to take advantage of the situation, but in fact did not pose any threat to Cao Wei, but lost his troops, so later Sun Wu changed his policy and adopted the strategy of luring, and let Cao Wei suffer a big loss, but the overall situation did not change much.
This era is the era when Zhuge Liang and Sun Quan join forces to fight against Cao Rui, but in the face of the young and old Cao Rui, even the almost perfect Zhuge Liang and the far-sighted Sun Quan have no choice.
