Chapter 220 Liaodong Strategy
The original Pingzhou Pastoral Mansion is now re-listed as the Pingzhou Thorn History Mansion.
In the wide lobby, in the corners of the four corners, the brazier flames, wisps of heating are thick, and the cold outside the house is isolated, but the atmosphere of everyone is still a little gloomy.
After the direction of the development of the navy was set, everyone began to gather around the sand table, you and I said a word, each expressed their opinions, there was not a word to talk about, there was only one topic, the stability and subsequent development of Liaodong.
"If you have any views on Liaodong, let's talk about it." When Sun Quan saw this atmosphere, everyone was obviously a little jealous.
"To each his own, whether it is right or wrong!" Sun Ce's gaze was horizontal, and he said loudly.
The two brothers had already spoken, and everyone didn't have so many worries, and began to strategize about the future strategy of Liaodong.
Now the overall situation of Liaodong has basically been decided, although there are still some county towns in Xuansu and Liaodong subject countries that are deadlocked and unwilling to surrender, but there is no big problem.
Now that Gongsun Du, Gongsun Kang, and Gongsun Yu have all gone to Jiangdong, they want to be loyal, and they have no object, they are just surviving, and it is not difficult for Jiangdong to take over Liaodong completely, at most it will take time.
However, Sun Quan, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, the core bones, will leave Liaodong in two months at most, and return to Jiangdong.
There is not much time left for them, so they are so anxious and try their best to settle down in Liaodong.
The environment of Liaodong is not as good as that of Jiangdong, which is very complicated, with internal and external troubles.
Now the Jiangdong Army has been stationed here for less than a month, and it has no influence, although Gongsun Du is considered to cooperate with the transfer of power, but there are still many internal problems.
The most important thing is that a large number of positions are vacant, and Sun Ce quickly won many officials with the momentum of thunder, eliminating the hidden dangers of Gongsun Du, but this also makes a big gap in the management of Liaodong today.
Of course, it is not difficult to fill this gap, after all, they have Jiangdong behind them, and with Jiangdong's background, they want to supplement the positions of these officials, and there is no pressure on them.
And their current external trouble is the foreign tribe, around Liaodong, adjacent to countless foreign tribes, among which Goguryeo and Karasuma are the biggest hidden dangers, and there are many other scattered small tribes.
However, Gongsun Du is also a strong prince, and he has suppressed a lot over the years, and there has been a period of calm recently.
Sun Quan's worry is that now that Gongsun Du is not there, Gongsun Du's influence will naturally be gone, and these foreign races may have thoughts, once these foreign races are ready to move, they have not yet completed their internal integration, and there will naturally be big problems.
If it is not my race, its heart will be different, and if you want them to surrender, you can only subdue them in person, but now Liaodong is not suitable for raising troops.
This part of Liaodong is not big, but it is not small.
This piece of black mountain white water is indeed vast and boundless, to the north, to the east, there is no end, Liaodong County, Lelang County, Xuansu County, plus Liaodong Shu Kingdom, four counties, constitute the northeast border of the Han Dynasty, but the population is small and pitiful, the land is sparse, showing a desolate state.
When Gongsun Du was in charge of Liaodong, although it claimed to have a population of one million, Sun Quan and others checked the files these days, and when they added it up, it was only over 800,000, which was not as good as a Wu county in Jiangdong.
If the population is too small and scattered, it will be difficult to develop.
"Now that Gongsun Du is not here, our first point is to hold Liaodong, if we want to hold Liaodong, we must have enough troops!"
"I grew up in Liaodong, and I am somewhat familiar with Liaodong, except for the border areas near the coast in Liaodong, Liaodong is considered to be enemy on all sides, Mahan people, Goguryeo people, Buyeo people, Karasuma people, Xianbei people, too many."
"Gongsun Du fought against Goguryeo last year, which can be regarded as a fear of Goguryeo, and it can only be three or five years, Goguryeo does not dare to visit, and now the biggest enemy is Karasuma."
"The Karasuma tribe is a major problem that has always been difficult to solve in Liaodong, entrenched in the east, west and north of Liao, and there are many Xianbei tribes among them."
"In fact, in the land of Liaoxi and Yuyang, which are adjacent to the subject countries of Liaodong, there seem to be many remnants of Liu Yu, and they may not have no intentions in Liaodong, which must also be guarded against."
"The most important thing now is to set the captains of each county, otherwise you won't be able to set the hearts of the soldiers!"
"There is still some turmoil in the hearts of the people below, and I think that above the policy, it is still necessary to stabilize Liaodong."
The atmosphere in the lobby was strong, with the two brothers Sun Quan and Sun Ce taking the lead, and everyone below also let go, expressing their opinions and expressing their understanding and thoughts about Liaodong.
This is also a kind of benign discussion that Sun Quan wants to see, brainstorming in order to come up with the most perfect strategic plan.
"Brother Gongjin, how many Liaodong soldiers and horses have we collected after Gongsun Du surrendered?" During the round of discussion, Sun Quan's eyes stared at the sand table, and suddenly turned his head, looked at Zhou Yu, and asked in a low voice.
"Combined, there are a little more than 80,000, and they are still being rectified, these are Gongsun Zhan's troops, if you want to use them, you have to break them up, or transfer them out of Liaodong."
Zhou Yu's eyes moved slightly, and he said softly: "Among these soldiers and horses, half of them are cavalry, and there is no shortage of war horses in Liaodong." ”
The total number of troops in Liaodong is about 100,000, although this battle was thunderous, very quickly started, very quickly ended, just a defense, a surprise attack, and won, but the war is always a war, there are still casualties, including tens of thousands of casualties.
Except for the remaining 30,000 troops stationed in Lelang, the rest of the Liaodong County were concentrated, and Gongsun Kang and Gongsun Yu poured out of the nest in order to save Gongsun Du.
Xuansu and the Liaodong vassal state are obviously a little empty, so they must quickly distribute it, and they can't let the Liaodong vassal state and Xuanwu County remain empty.
"Eighty thousand? Gongsun Du's troops are quite a lot, this part of the troops, we have to strip the navy of 20,000, and, we borrowed 20,000 Jiujiang troops from our homes, and now continue to defend Liaodong, but there are borrowed and repaid, we must return 20,000 soldiers and horses to the family, the battle in Liaodong cost so much, it costs money and energy, it's time to give some results, send 20,000 cavalry to the family, how? Sun Quan squinted his small eyes and asked.
Among the arms in Jiangdong, what is lacking is cavalry, there are 20,000 cavalry, whether it is fighting Jingzhou or Dajiaozhou, there is an absolute guarantee of mobility.
"That's a good idea!"
Zhou Yu and Sun Ce glanced at each other, and after a moment of silence, Sun Ce nodded directly and made a decision.
"However, the remaining troops are relatively small, which is not enough to suppress the stability of Liaodong." Zhou Yu's brows furrowed, now that Liaodong is surrounded by enemies, this bit of soldiers and horses is a little empty.
"Not necessarily, even if we take out the side, there are still 40,000 troops left, plus 20,000 Jiujiang Army, when the time comes, we can still recruit tens of thousands of young and strong, and train them, there are almost seventy or eighty thousand soldiers and horses, as long as there is no major battle, stable dìng Liaodong, it can still be done."
Sun Quan groaned and said softly.
"It's a bit early to say this now, the biggest question at the moment is who my father will send to guard Liaodong, Pingzhou Assassin Shi has not arrived for a day, and it is useless for us to say anything." Sun Ce sighed and said.
They arranged this qiē, in the final analysis, to pave the way for the upcoming Pingzhou Thorn History, but if the Pingzhou Thorn Shi is a tough person, he may not all accept their advice.
"That's right, now we have to do a good job of transition and quickly stabilize Liaodong, and we still have to wait until the new Pingzhou Thorn History comes before we can formulate a new strategy."
Sun Quan nodded, with a trace of sorrow in his eyes, and said: "But Xuansu and the subject country of Liaodong have become empty now, I am afraid that something will happen, if someone takes the opportunity to station, it will be troublesome!" ”
For Jiangdong, Liaodong is really a defender, so the candidate for the Pingzhou Assassin must be an absolute loyal minister, and Liaodong is a place of four battles, and those who guard Liaodong must have a certain ability to command soldiers and horses.
This candidate, even if it is Sun Jian, is not easy to choose.
"That's it, tomorrow, I'll go to Xuansu!"
Sun Ce stood up and said in a deep voice: "Before the new Pingzhou Thorn History and Xuansu County Guard come, I will stabilize Xuansu, inspect Xuansu's frontier defense line, and sort out the officials of Xuansu County, so that Xuansu can quickly settle down, and don't let Goguryeo and the Xianbei people in the north of Xuansu take advantage of it." ”
"I'll go to Liaodong's vassal country, the situation here is more complicated, we are allies with Youzhou, but the remnants of Liu Yu who are still entrenched in Liaoxi still need to be deployed." Zhou Yu said softly.
"Then I'll take care of the house!"
In such a cold weather, Sun Quan didn't want to run around, so he stayed in Xiangping, which was more comfortable.
The discussion of the people did not disperse until the evening, and apart from the policy of the navy, there was no determination of the strategy of Liaodong.
In the following time, the three people led by Sun Quan, Sun Ce, and Zhou Yu began to take stabilizing Liaodong as the first goal, and promulgated various policies.
Liaodong this place, there is grain can be stabilized, and for Jiangdong, it is really not bad for grain, today's Jiangdong Tuntian, a small success, the gap in food, has been filled in the morning.
……
The next day, Sun Ce took the overlord Tie to ride Xuansu, and Zhou Yu took the car to get off the tiger to go to the Liaodong vassal country, and Le Lang had been combed by Li Ne, a somewhat insidious adult.
For the time being, this land in Liaodong has finally stabilized roughly.
However, after all, it was a new person in charge, a son of heaven and a courtier, and the officials of the entire Liaodong were swept away by Sun Ce's boldness, and there was always a lot of turmoil.
Sun Quan is very busy every day, constantly meeting with the local heroes in Liaodong, as well as businessmen, he does not refuse to come, and he will meet anyone who comes to the door, so that it is for the stability of Liaodong, and the second is for the waterway of Jiangdong and Liaodong.
He was almost busy, but fortunately there was a great power around him, assisted by Li Ne, otherwise he would still be a little unable to play with the government affairs of the entire Liaodong.
Li Ne is worthy of being Dong Zhuo's confidant at the beginning, he is familiar with strategy, and he is also vigorous and resolute in handling government affairs, and the affairs of Liaodong are in his hands, and they are reasonable.
The days passed little by little, and the entire Liaodong began to gradually adapt to the power of Jiangdong, which opened warehouses to release grain, and rectified the strong and strong...... The policies of each item show Jiangdong's toughness and ability, and win a lot of people's hearts.
During this time, Sun Quan's recruitment hall also gathered a lot of Liaodong talents, those who are suitable for Liaodong, after the assessment, are directly sent to work, and those who are capable and not suitable for Liaodong are sent back to Jiangdong directly.
In the fifth year of the first Ping, in the second half of the first month, the appointment letter of the Zhengdong General's Mansion, which had not had any news, was finally belated, and the first recognized assassin in Pingzhou, Sun Jing.
The officials of the Assassin Mansion led by Sun Quan couldn't help but laugh when they greeted Sun Jing outside the city.
"I really didn't expect that it was my uncle who came!" He sighed in his heart.
It seems that Sun Jian also lacks talents in his hands now, if it weren't for the fact that there are really not many people who are in charge, and no one can use it, he will send his henchmen and younger brothers to this bitter cold place?
With Sun Jing coming, there were dozens of officials, and this was a talent that Sun Jian forcibly cut down from several counties in Jiangdong in order to completely stabilize Liaodong.
"Uncle, I really didn't expect my father to send you." Sun Quan immediately greeted him, and he hadn't seen Sun Jing for a while, but it was very suitable for Sun Jing to guard Liaodong.
Sun Jing is capable, has led soldiers, and has also handled government affairs, and is even more loyal to Sun Jian, who is the only one who guards Liaodong.
"There's no way, your father probably saw that I was too comfortable recently, and he threw me here directly as if he was a strong man." Sun Jing was dressed in a white robe, wrapped in a thick cotton coat, looked at this more and more mature nephew, and said with a smile.
"With my uncle coming, I can rest assured." Sun Quan said.
This is true, if someone else comes, he is really a little worried, after all, this is the territory that he and Sun Ce have single-handedly defeated.
"Zhongmou, you two brothers are really powerful, you can take Liaodong without saying a word." Sun Jing put his hands behind his back, walked on the road of Xiangping City, and sighed.
"It's just luck, and it's up to my uncle to stabilize it." Sun Quan said modestly.
"Merit is merit, at a young age, don't be too modest, a little vibrant, don't learn from your father, he was originally an arrogant person, and he acted like a polite scholar all day long." Sun Jing waved his hand and said with a smile.
"Nephew understands!" Sun Quan circled his head, and now only a close person like Sun Jing had the courage to reprimand him.
"Where's Bo Fu?"
Sun Jing kept coming to the Pingzhou Mu Mansion, but he didn't see Sun Ce, which was a little strange.
"He went to Xuansu, Xuansu's new county guard is still in the air, and now he must be stable Xuansu." Sun Quan's analysis of the Tao.
"So that's the case, I thought that this little rabbit cub had stiff wings, and he didn't greet me or come to see me."
Sun Jing said loudly.
"Uncle, you have traveled a long distance, first rest for a few days, get used to the weather here, Liaodong affairs, I will report to you in a few days." Sun Quan said respectfully.
"Okay!"
Sun Jing is also tired, the weather in Liaodong is still in an extremely cold weather, the ice and snow have not melted, he is a Jiangdong person, and he is very uncomfortable.
……
"Liaodong, Youzhou, Jizhou!" Above the lobby, there was some silence, and Sun Quan's figure stood next to the sand table, his eyes gloomy.
"Childe!"
At this time, Li Nie wore a robe and walked in.
"Come!" Sun Quan beckoned and asked softly: "Lao Li, now that we are allies with Youzhou, there will be a big war between Youzhou and Jizhou, where should Liaodong go?" ”
"Childe is thinking about Liaodong in the future, should he help Gongsun Zhan, or should he sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight?" Li Nie quickly understood what Sun Quan meant.
"That's right!"
Sun Quan squinted his eyes and said: "Gongsun Zhan is not Yuan Shao's opponent, I feel that he will lose to Yuan Shao sooner or later, and if Youzhou falls into the hands of Yuan Shao, I am afraid that our life in Liaodong will be sad." ”
"But we don't have the ability to help?" Li Nie's eyes were sharp, and he said softly: "Liaodong's self-defense is okay, if you send troops to Jizhou, it will be very reluctant." ”
"Sending troops to Jizhou, I don't think about it, but have you heard a message from a subject country in Liaodong recently!" Sun Quan asked.
"Childe means that Liu Yu is a remnant."
Li Nie's face was slightly surprised: "Recently, there are indeed rumors that Liu Yu's remnants are in Qi Zhou, Xian Yufu, Xian Yuyin, these loyal ministers left by Liu Yu, and Liaoxi has been taken, and I heard that the tens of thousands of cavalry of Karasuma and Xianbei who are still colluding intend to avenge Liu Yu. ”
"If at this time, Yuan Shao sends troops at the same time, do you say that Gongsun Zhan, who was caught up and down, can he carry it?" Sun Quan asked.
"It's hard!"
Ligne shook his head.
"We and Gongsun Chan are allies after all, for the sake of Youzhou, we can't watch Gongsun Chan lose, the battle between Gongsun Chan and Yuan Shao, we can't take care of it, but we can send troops to involve the remnants of Liu Yu."
Liaodong has just been taken, and it is still a trick, and the foundation is unstable, so Youzhou is not at all something that the current Jiangdong army can capture, and within two or three years, Jiangdong will not have this ability.
However, Sun Quan can't watch Youzhou fall into the hands of Yuan Shao, Youzhou is in the hands of Gongsun Zhan, it is good to take it, if it is in the hands of Yuan Shao, it will be a big problem.
Youzhou, he is determined to win.
"So, what does Childe mean?" Li Nie's eyes moved slightly, and he asked with some confusion.
"I'm just discussing with you, the next thing, it's always my uncle who makes the decision, but before leaving Liaodong, I must give my uncle a detailed strategic plan for Liaodong." Sun Quan said softly.
"Childe, will you also return to Jiangdong with you?" Ligne was somewhat silent.
"Of course!"
Sun Quan knew Li Ni's worries and said, "As long as you keep a low profile, there are not many people in Jiangdong who can recognize you." ”
"Childe, don't forget about Jì, Cai Zhonglang." Li Nie smiled bitterly, there are really not many people in Jiangdong who can recognize his appearance, even Sun Jian has never seen him, but there is one person who can remember him, Cai Yong.
"Don't worry, Cai Zhonglang will settle it personally." Sun Quan was stunned for a moment, stretched out his hand and patted his forehead, how could he forget this stubble, with Cai Yong's temper, if he knew that Li Nie, a chaotic minister and thief, would not turn the sky upside down.
