Chapter 181: Sun Quan's thoughts
Yuzhou Mountain, the terrain is flat, and there is a little damp sea breeze blowing through, and there is a trace of saltiness in the sea breeze.
When this place was quickly controlled by the warships of the Jiangdong Navy, Sun Quan directly made conditions, and Xue Zhou, who became a prisoner of the order, did not hesitate at all, and soon chose to surrender to Jiangdong.
In fact, one of the reasons why Xue Zhou is so cheerful is because the Jiangdong Army is now in control of the lives of all of them.
Another reason, for Xue Zhou, Jiangdong is also a more promising overlord in the world, Jiangdong can absorb them, it may not be a good thing, there is a good saying, can be an innocent good citizen, who wants to be a pirate whose descendants can't raise their heads.
And Yuzhou Mountain is actually not a place to stay for a long time, there are tens of thousands of households here, tens of thousands of people, and there is an extreme lack of food, which can be supported now.
Xuzhou Tao Qian didn't pay attention to them, they could naturally survive, but if one day Xuzhou changed a shrewd owner and noticed their small island, there was no need to attack them directly, as long as they blocked the food, they could starve them to death.
Over the years, Xue Zhou has been thinking about it, constantly considering other ways out, and once wanted to take refuge in one of the princes.
But in this era, the names of the Yellow Turban Army are all traitors of the imperial court, although the imperial court exists in name only, but the world is still the Han Liu family, Xuzhou, Qingzhou, and some famous county guards or princes in the two places are unwilling to accept them People with Yellow Turban background.
Ordinary thieves, bandits, and princes are willing to take them in, but the reputation of the Yellow Turban Army is too great, although the Yellow Turban Rebellion has passed for many years, but the Yellow Turban Rebellion of that year covered almost the entire Han Dynasty, leaving too deep influence.
Now Sun Quan represents the Jiangdong Sun family and is willing to take them in, which may be a good thing for them, which is why Xue Zhou is so happy.
After Xuezhou surrendered, Zhou Yu arranged the fleet's warships and began to plan to transport these people out of Yuzhou Mountain, after all, Xuzhou is not Jiangdong, it is not within the control of Jiangdong, and Yuzhou Mountain is not a place to stay for a long time, so it is not suitable for so many people to live here.
It is easy to arrange this group of people, and now that Jiangdong has opened up overseas Yizhou, Zhoushan and other places are extremely in need of people who have been cleared of wasteland, and with the survival of the Jiangdong fleet, they can evacuate here without knowing it.
……
On the coast, waves crashed on the shore, Xue Zhou's straight body stood on a rock, his eyes stared at the groups of people in Yuzhou Mountain, and the warships docked on the sea under the arrangement of the Jiangdong Navy, he was a little reluctant in his heart, but he seemed to be relieved.
Over the years, these yellow turban people have been a big stone in his heart, and his whole person seems to be out of breath.
Xue Zhou led this group of pirates, in Xuzhou Haixi, Ju County, Guangling area continued to go ashore to loot, the looted things were exchanged for food, just to feed this group of Yellow Turban people, the Xuzhou uprising failed that year, this is what he owes them.
Sun Quan once promised that Jiangdong would treat this group of people well, and he believed that Sun Quan did not need to lie to him, after all, even if Sun Quan wanted to kill them, it would be a matter of one word.
This group of people can really be stable, which can be regarded as an explanation for the Yellow Turban Army that once failed in the uprising.
"Qu Shuai, are we going to surrender Jiangdong like this?" Behind Xue Zhou, a strong man, with some indignation in his expression, asked in a low voice.
"Huang Lin, I know you're not convinced, but when people are under the eaves, they have to learn to bow their heads, and you also see the strict military might of Jiangdong's army, if we don't surrender, there will be a river of blood here, can you stop them?"
Xue Zhou put his hands behind his back, heard the words, and didn't look back, without glancing at the first military general under his command, just turned his back and said coldly: "As long as they can treat our people well, surrender is not necessarily a bad thing, you show me the people under your command, if anyone dares to move, the first one will kill him!" ”
Huang Lin is a military general with outstanding martial arts, with the cultivation of Qi Realm, and he has been Xuezhou's right-hand man over the years, but when the Jiangdong Army was stationed, although he was beaten suddenly, he still fought back, but he was knocked down by Pan Zhang, who was a tiger soldier under the car, and he was naturally a little unconvinced.
"But Qu Shuai, they will take us in, why don't they even give you a position, what kind of recruitment is this! The people who have gathered us don't care! ”
Huang Lin gritted his teeth, he knew that Xue Zhou was right, if these pirates started a war with the Jiangdong Army, it would not take much, just those three thousand mighty cavalry could make their island bleed.
Jiangdong Army recruited them, he actually didn't have any opinions, but Xue Zhou didn't even have a position, which made him unwilling.
"Humph!"
At this time, Xue Zhou turned his head, stared at his beloved general, snorted coldly, and said: "Huang Lin, how many times have I said that you have to be calm in everything you do, you are just too impulsive and can't hold your breath." ”
"What do you mean by Qu Shuai?" When the big guy heard this, he was a little confused.
"You don't have to worry about this matter, since Jiangdong has incorporated us, we will wait for it, now, you immediately take your people to assist Zhou Dudu, appease our people in Yuzhou Mountain, let them settle down, and let our group of people leave Yuzhou Mountain smoothly and arrive in Jiangdong."
Xue Zhou waved his hand and said.
This time Sun Quan suddenly landed from Yuzhou Mountain, he didn't believe that the Jiangdong Army was just here for their pirates, the Jiangdong family had a big business, and what they could pay attention to could only be of the same level.
Obviously, Jiangdong landed from Yuzhou Mountain this time, just for Xuzhou, and he had heard a little about the changes in Xuzhou.
"No!"
Huang Lin's big head nodded helplessly and walked on.
There are two thousand pirate troops under the command of Xue Zhou, which is not elite, but it is also well-trained, and it is this team that has allowed him to gain a foothold in Yuzhou Mountain over the years, and the leader of this team is Huang Lin.
…………
"The eldest prince, the right prince!"
On Yuzhou Mountain, a house, above the lobby, Sun Quan and Sun Ce were looking at the map, looking at the detailed map of Xuzhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou and Yuzhou.
"Xue Zhou, come, let me ask you, do you have eyeliner and fine work on the shore of Yuzhou Mountain?" Sun Quan's face was a little solemn and asked.
Originally, he went north to Liaodong, but he always felt that this time Xuzhou had changed greatly, and they could intervene in it and seize some benefits, and even, he had a bold idea in his heart.
This time the changes in Xuzhou, the changes in the situation, and the cohesion of the two heroes, may not be an opportunity for him, maybe he can eradicate the future overlord in advance.
After all, he has landed from Yuzhou Mountain now, no one knows about them, and he will not guard against them, not counting the navy, he has 3,000 chariots and tiger warriors, 3,000 overlord iron horses, plus 2,000 pirates in Xuezhou, this is a big force, if it is taken by surprise, it can definitely affect the battle situation in Xuzhou.
However, at the critical time, he didn't want to participate in it, after all, the Jiangdong army landed from here, and once it was exposed, it reminded some princes that the Jiangdong army could land from any place on the coastline and raid, which would make some shrewd people watch out for them from this direction in the future.
"Of course, there is."
When Xue Zhou heard this, he nodded hurriedly, and said loudly: "In Juxian, Haixi, and Guangling's salt desecration, we all have fine work, otherwise there is no accurate news, how dare we go ashore to grab grain." ”
"Has there been any news coming back lately?" Sun Quan Q&A.
"Well, I'm going to ask the person below who is responsible for collecting information." Xue Zhou pondered for a moment before he whispered.
"You call your guy in charge of gathering information."
"No!"
In less than a quarter of an hour, a man in his thirties, wearing a cloth coat and a scarf on his head, somewhat like a scholar, like a bamboo pole, and his face was very thin, appeared in the house with Xue Zhou's figure.
"A certain family is far away to meet the two sons." Lu Yuan is the person in charge who has never collected news from the shore in Xuezhou, and he has read books, and he can be regarded as a strategist in Xuezhou.
"Lu Yuan, can you tell me about the recent news in Xuzhou?" Sun Quan's eyes moved slightly, glanced at him, and asked.
"Gongzi Quan, a major event that has happened in Xuzhou recently, not long ago, Yanzhou assassin Cao Cao's father was killed by Zhang Min leading the troops after Tao Zhijun had just incorporated the Yellow Turban in Mount Tai, and now Cao Cao was furious, claiming to lead 300,000 troops, and killed Xuzhou."
"Three hundred thousand troops, isn't this a scare? Does Cao Cao have so many troops? Sun Ce, who had been quietly looking at a combat map next to him, suddenly raised his head, his eyes burst into a cold light, and said with a sneer.
"300,000 is definitely not, this is an exaggeration, it is just a big momentum, but this time Cao Cao is surging, 150,000 troops are indispensable, and now he occupies Yanzhou, recruited a group of Qingzhou soldiers, and won half of Yuzhou, with more than 200,000 troops under his command, 150,000 troops, to fight in Xuzhou, it is very suitable."
Sun Quan squinted, stared at the map, moved slightly in his heart, and said secretly: Cao Song is dead, Cao Cao is going to send troops to Xuzhou, Cao Cao was furious like thunder in history, there was a massacre of the city, in the area of Surabaya, a big killing, I don't know if it's true.
"Lu Yuan, do you know Ju County?" Sun Quan squinted suddenly.
"This nature, Ju County is under the nose of our Yuzhou Mountain, if we don't understand Ju County, how can we be safe in Yuzhou Mountain." Lu Yuan nodded hurriedly.
"Xue Zhou, if we want to take Ju County in the name of the Yuzhou Mountain Pirates, can you do it?" Sun Quan's eyes lit up.
"Can it be, after all, Ju County is not big, less than a thousand county soldiers, and the combat effectiveness is not strong, but this is Donghai County, and the military soldiers of Donghai County will not let us go, even if we take it, we may not be able to hold it." Lu Yuan and Xue Zhou looked at each other, Lu Yuan nodded, and Xue Zhou sighed.
"Very good, Xue Zhou, you immediately lead two thousand people under your command, go ashore, and quickly take Ju County, I will let my subordinate Hu Shi send troops to assist you, remember, in the name of the Yuzhou Mountain Pirates, you must not reveal your identity as a Jiangdong Army."
Sun Quan pondered for a moment before he cut through the categorical way.
"Childe, why do we want to take Koma County?" Xue Zhou's eyes moved, and he didn't understand.
"Don't ask, do it!" Sun Quan glanced at him and said coldly.
"No!"
Xue Zhou felt a chill in his heart and nodded.
"Lei Ding!" Sun Quan shouted, and outside the room, a big man in armor strode in and bowed to Sun Quan to receive the order.
"You led the previous 1,500 people to get off the Hushi, assist Xuezhou, take Ju County, put away your banners, remember one thing, from now on, you are pirates, no matter what, you must not reveal your identity as the Jiangdong Army, I don't want anyone to know that you are the Jiangdong Army." Sun Quan said coldly.
"No!" Lei Ding never doubted Sun Quan's orders.
Xue Zhou, Lu Yuan, and Lei Ding felt that they had walked out of the house, and began to assemble their teams and prepare to land in Ju County.
After the three of them left, Sun Ce was also a little puzzled, looked at Sun Quan with a puzzled gaze, and asked, "Second brother, aren't we going to land in Liaodong, what are we going to do in Ju County?" Do you want to fight Xuzhou? ”
"It's impossible to fight Xuzhou, and we don't have the ability, but Xuzhou has changed a lot, and I want to see if we can take advantage of it." Sun Quan's gaze moved coldly, bursting out with a scorching light.
"Zhongmou."
At this time, Zhou Yu walked in, stared at Sun Quan, and asked, "Is this group of people on Yuzhou Mountain going to be sent away?" ”
"Yes, Yuzhou Mountain may become a military town of the Jiangdong Navy in the future, but there can't be a common people, because sooner or later this place will be exposed, once the people of Xuzhou react, it is very dangerous, first they will send it to Zhoushan, we don't have so much time to send it to Yizhou at once." Sun Quan thought for a moment and said.
"I understand, there are tens of thousands of households in Yuzhou Mountain, there are quite a few people, and the fleet can't finish one trip, so we should just take two trips, and we may have to stay for a few days." Zhou Yu nodded, and then asked, "What about the landing in Liaodong?" When are we going to Liaodong. ”
"Liaodong will put it aside, I'm going to go to Xuzhou now."
Sun Quan squinted, looked at the two, and said, "Big brother, Brother Gongjin, don't you want to meet Cao Cao and Liu Bei for a while?" It's a rare opportunity. ”
"Cao Cao?"
The eyes of the two lit up, but they were a little moved. In the first battle of Yuzhou, Yuan Shu had already declined, and Cao Cao became a major overlord of the Central Plains, and in Jiangdong, he was as famous as Yuan Shao of Hebei in the north.
"Liu Bei? Zhongmou, are you talking about Liu Bei, who fought against Lu Bu in the past? Zhou Yu's eyes flashed with pride, and he suddenly said: "He doesn't seem to be in Xuzhou, and if there is no such No. 1 prince today, what kind of hero is this person." ”
Obviously, Liu Bei has not yet entered his Zhou Yu's gaze.
"Brother Gongjin, don't underestimate Liu Bei, in the heart of a certain family, Liu Bei is a male lord in the world who can compete with Cao Cao in the world, although this person is not famous now, but it is just bad luck, the ability of several generals under his command, the eldest brother is clear." Sun Quan's face was solemn and said.
Liu Bei is too resilient, he has been defeated repeatedly, defeated again and again, in Sun Quan's heart, he is even more terrible than Cao Cao, and according to the history of the Three Kingdoms, he will soon become the new lord of Xuzhou, adjacent to Jiangdong, not to be underestimated.
This time, Liu Bei will definitely appear, but Sun Quan wants to see if he can enter Xuzhou smoothly under the middle eyelids.
