Chapter 1214: Crazy
Lu Xun wanted to implement the scorched earth policy, and all the grain stocks were confiscated, and all the crops in the fields were destroyed, from the large carriages and wooden plows to the pots and pans, and all the destruction that could not be taken away.

If this strategy is carried out, hundreds of thousands of people will be wiped out on their way to retreat.
However, this is definitely an excellent idea for Sun Quan. However, Sun Quan was still very worried and said: "Li Yi's benevolence is fake, he will definitely not care about the life and death of the people." If he catches up, what are we going to do? Even if he can't catch up for a while, but it takes time to transport the population to Yizhou, he will always catch up. ”
The hideous face of Lu Xun, the governor of the Great Metropolitan who had come out of this poisonous scheme, disappeared, regained his former elegance, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the coastline is long, let's choose a hidden place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack." It takes time for Li Yi to find us, and it is not so easy to capture it. In addition, the emperor can go first, and the ministers stay, and they can send as many people as they can. ”
Sun Quan nodded when he heard this, and said, "So which route should we take from?" Where to find a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack? ”
At this time, it was reflected that the Metropolitan Governor Lu Xun had an understanding of Jiangdong, and he already had a comprehensive plan, saying: "We will go from Ningguo County, cross Tianmu Mountain and Zheshui to Huiji County. Our destination is Cheng County, opposite the Tianmen Water in Huiji County. This county is the closest to Yizhou on land. And backed by Jinji Mountain, there is Tianmen Water in the east, the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. ”
The Jinji Mountain of this county is also a famous coastal defense base point in later generations, it is the operational command center of the Zhenhai Campaign of the Sino-French War in 1885, the Qing Dynasty patriotic general Ouyang Lijian once commanded the operation here, achieved a great victory in the main battle, and wrote a glorious page in the history of the Chinese nation's resistance to aggression.
The mainland extends here, and it is indeed the closest point to Yizhou except for the island.
At this time, Jiang Gan saw that Sun Quan was happy, worried that the Holy Grace would be monopolized by Lu Xun, so he hurriedly went out of class and said: "Your Majesty, the materials obtained can be used to buy the Shanyue people in the mountains, so that they can resist Li Yi's pursuers for us!" ”
Sun Quan was overjoyed, and thought that this was an opportunity for him to make a comeback, coercing the people to go to Yizhou, whether it was **** in the future, or re-establishing the country in Yizhou, it was better than staying here and waiting for death.
Lu Xun also reminded: "To prevent the Tang Army's spies, we only inform the local officials of the gate lord clan to take the people to the eastern part of Huiji County, and do not inform them of the specific place of going to sea first, and then notify them when it is near." ”
So, Sun Quan sent his loyal Ouchi guards as emissaries to any areas that had not yet been occupied to tell the local officials and nobles the news. Let them gather supplies and coerce the people. Either by land or by boat, they concentrated in the eastern counties of Huiji County. And let them tightly seal the news of where they went, strictly control the coerced people, sit together, and kill them all, so as not to be detected by the Tang army.
………………
The news first spread in the area near Wanling, and it was still spread to a limited extent, and the gate lord clan knew that the common people were still kept in the dark, and even the blue jade who was stationed in Xuancheng and watched Wanling City from afar was also kept in the dark.
After the gate lord clans in the city got the news, they first analyzed it themselves.
As one of the few places in Jiangdong that has not suffered from the Yellow Turban Rebellion over the years, the power of the Gate Lords clan is very strong, and they control almost everything in the local area. In many places, even the influence of Sun Wu's official power was extremely limited.
Because of their strong control, the gate lords are naturally more free to do whatever they want, and for the tenants on their land, they are basically a little bit stronger than slaves. The gate lords have the blood of the people in their hands.
And once the Tang Dynasty occupies Jiangdong, according to the policy of Emperor Wude of the Tang Dynasty, it is estimated that these gate lords will not only lose their land, but also have enough people.
Although these clan lords are extremely vicious to the common people, they also have some self-knowledge, knowing that with their strength, they can't resist the powerful Tang army at all.
In that case, the only way to do this is to run away. As a result, the gate lord clans responded to Sun Quanlai. They sent representatives to ask for an audience with Sun Quan, and as long as Sun Quan promised to allocate them land in Yizhou, they would contribute money and people to help Sun Quan transfer.
An analysis of such a thing is good for Sun Quan. And the current Yizhou is no different from the wild land, there are not many local people, and when they go to Yizhou, there will naturally be countless lands.
So, after discussing with Lu Xun, Sun Quan decided with a wave of his hand: "Whoever brings more people and more materials will share more land!" ”
The gate lord clan was very excited after hearing this, and they also began to play with their lives for the sake of the land in Yizhou in the future.
A day later, Sun Quan and Lu Xun were pondering scorched earth policy in the conference hall. At this time, Jiang Gan happily ran in and said, "Your Majesty, good news!" ”
Sun Quan couldn't lift his motivation when he saw Jiang Gan, but he still asked casually: "What good news?" ”
Although Jiang Gan was a little unhappy in his heart, he had no choice but to take Sun Quan, so he had to pretend not to see it, and said: "The statistics around Wanling have come up, and there are hundreds of large families following, and there are more than 10,000 family members and private soldiers. The minister had ordered them to destroy the village and bring the people to Wanling City to gather. ”
Sun Quan was startled and exclaimed, "More than 10,000 private soldiers?!" ”
Jiang Gan shook his head and smiled, and said, "At first, the minister didn't expect it. Wanling is the county of Danyang for a hundred years, and it is a large city in Jiangdong, with fertile land and a large population. These big families have been operating here for hundreds of years, and their roots are deep, and the private soldiers of the family have followed these big families for several generations, so they are very obedient. If it can really be integrated, the power is not under the official......"
Sun Quan was afraid that no one would follow, so he finally smiled and said repeatedly: "Okay! Good! Good! Han Xinbing, the more the merrier. They all followed me to Yizhou and rebuilt the Great Wu Kingdom. ”
However, Sun Quan soon frowned again, Lu Xun's strategy was very vicious, and it would inevitably leave infamy. In order to be able to justifiably return in the future, there is also a need for a fig leaf.
So Sun Quan looked embarrassed and vaguely expressed his concerns.
Lu Xun on the side pondered for a while and said: "Your Majesty, this matter is easy to say, the minister can gather the people of the whole city to listen to His Majesty's lecture." Your Majesty can talk about the kindness of the three generations of the Sun family to Jiangdong, and let the people voluntarily accompany him. ”
Sun Quan was not happy when he heard it, the three generations of the Sun family did have favors to the people of Jiangdong, but mainly his father Sun Jian and elder brother Sun Ce, as for himself, he has been rampant in Jiangdong since he took power, and the people don't know what to say about him behind their backs. If they were to be gathered, it would be counterproductive.
So, Sun Quan said unhappily: "If the people are unwilling to accompany them, how can I save my face?" Isn't it even more bad for reputation? ”
Lu Xun said with a smile: "Your Majesty is wrong, what you don't want to accompany is treason, and the crime of treason is to kill the nine clans, just arrest them and go to Yizhou, it is already the emperor's grace!" ”
Sun Quan was stunned when he heard this, then he was ecstatic, and said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes, if you don't follow, you are treason." I opened the net and only arrested them to Yizhou, which is already a saint's mercy! Okay, good, that's it! ”
Jiang Gan listened to the answer of the pair of monarchs and ministers, and pondered in his heart: "You robbed the people of the essence, and if the people don't agree, it is treason?" This policy, which has only been practiced by tyrants since ancient times, is still the emperor's grace! This remark is really a fig leaf for tyrants, much more fierce than the memorial arch of the table! ”
………………
On the morning of the second day, 10,000 soldiers and horses in Wanling City went out, drove 100,000 people, and came to the south gate.
"What's wrong? Why let us out of town? ”
"I don't know......"
……
For a time, 100,000 people were like villagers who had been driven to the threshing floor by devils, trembling and gathering together, not daring to move.
I saw 10,000 Dongwu soldiers holding weapons, and they were on guard on the periphery, and whoever was disobedient would be punched and kicked, and it was like a group of vicious sharks staring at the fish.
Suddenly, a woman's cry was heard from east to west. The fish-like people looked up in terror and saw many soldiers carrying more people to their feet.
These people are mainly young and young women. Men push carts full of goods, or carry large bags and small bags. And the woman is holding the soft thing.
More people have arrived one after another, and these people are the people entrained by the big families near Wanling.
More than 10,000 private soldiers and evil slaves escorted 100,000 people, and the people had no force and could not resist.
When the people who had been driven out of the city saw this, they suddenly had a sense of foreboding.
In the midst of the buzzing voice, Sun Quan wore a brand-new dragon robe and climbed the city gate tower. He looked into the distance on both sides and found that more and more local gate lords were coming, carrying the people. He felt that Lu Xun's plan would definitely be implemented smoothly. And with the support of these big gatekeepers, it is logical to go to Yizhou to rebuild Dawu. As for the rest, Sun Quan didn't think about it so much.
I saw Sun Quan beckoning, and the war horse galloped out under the city gate, and in the circle of the people, shouting: "Quiet, quiet, Emperor Wu wants to speak!" ”
The periphery is full of fierce soldiers with knives and guns, where do the people dare to be disobedient? One by one, their mouths were tightly closed, and some crying children were even covered by adults.
Sun Quan waved his hand sleeves and said in a voice like a Hong Zhong: "I, inherit the foundation of my father and brother and establish the Great Wu Kingdom." They are all the people of the state of Wu. Now, the violent enemy is Koubian, and the national disaster is at the head of the ......"
When Sun Quan said this, he gestured to Lu Xun on the side, and Lu Xun took out the edict and began to read: "Great Wu has reached the time of life and death, and in order to win the war against the Tang State, a strategic shift is needed. All the people of Wu must hand over all their money and food, the middle-aged people must join the army, and the young and strong women must contribute to the logistics...... You can't leave a useful item for the enemy, and destroy everything that you can't take away......"
