Chapter 339: Jiangdong Tiger

readx;

In 187 AD, the fourth year of Hanzhongping, at the beginning of February, the four princes who attracted the attention of the world began to make big moves, except for the princes Liu Tai who led his troops north to resist the enemy, the other three looked like they were not willing to be lonely, such as Cao Ying in the Lianghuai region to open the newly formed 20,000 water divisions, and the general was the water thief Ganyun in Poyang Lake. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info But what is intriguing is that Cao Ying actually pulled the recruits to practice the surname of water around Poyang Lake, isn't this groundbreaking on the head of Wuhou Liu Bei?

In 187 AD, the fourth year of Hanzhongping, in mid-February, Yangzhou Mu and Wuhou Liu Bei held a military exercise in Moling, and ordered the newly formed sailor recruits to go to Poyang Lake to familiarize themselves with the water surname, so as to improve the combat power as soon as possible after the warship was built, and this time the commander of the sailor did not fall to the expected Xiang Fei, but it was a little speechless, or for Cao Ying, the station of this naval division recruit was on the opposite side of Cao Ying's water division, which looked a little-for-tat accident.

Cao Ying was training in Poyang Lake, and Liu Bei was naturally very annoyed, but now at the same time, the Han bureaucrats, Poyang Lake is not Liu Bei's alone, and Liu Bei can't say anything, so he can only target Cao Ying's actions in this way, so that Cao Ying can retreat as soon as possible.

The affairs of the south are temporarily put aside, temporarily transferred to the side of Hedong, the movement in Hedong is relatively large, because Dong Zhuo's appetite is very big, very big, as a mere guard, Dong Zhuo actually dared to order the recruitment of 100,000 soldiers, which made the entire Hedong region complain, tens of thousands of old and weak women and children because of their resistance to Dong Zhuo's tyranny, did not want their young and strong to enlist in the army, was killed by Dong Zhuo, arrested, the situation was more chaotic than the Yellow Turban Rebellion, what is surprising is that the Hedong Weilord, who was supposed to uphold justice, did not have any opinions, And also funded and sponsored Dong Zhuo's army expansion.

After the recruitment of 100,000 soldiers was completed, Dong Zhuo directly sent 10,000 Xiliang iron cavalry to send these recruits to Longxi for training, Hedong is on the edge of Luoyang, Dong Zhuo's move will naturally touch the nerves of Emperor Ling, when the recruits recruited by Dong Zhuo just left Hedong, the holy decree of the imperial court was transmitted to Hedong, asking Dong Zhuo to give an explanation, otherwise Dong Zhuo would be questioned.

Dong Zhuo is a shrewd person, he has always been in contact with the Ten Standing Servants, in order to settle this matter, Dong Zhuo did not hesitate to take out countless rare treasures for people to send to Luoyang and hand them over to the Ten Standing Servants, and then borrow the hands of the Ten Standing Servants to give them to Emperor Han Ling, the meaning is obvious, this matter should be settled with money.

Emperor Ling didn't know what to think, after Dong Zhuo sent countless money and food, he really ignored it, at this time, the court was relatively deserted since Yuan Kui left, Emperor Ling didn't say it, He Jin kept his mouth shut, who would dare to talk nonsense? However, it is worth investigating that after Emperor Ling put these money and grains into the West Garden, he took them all out in less than a few days, and mobilized craftsmen to start building weapons and armor, which seems to have made a big move.

In 187 AD, in the fourth year of Hanzhongping, at the end of February, Emperor Ling rewarded Sun Jian, who had just returned from Yongliang, as the Marquis of Wucheng in the Chongde Palace, and the general of the captive was broken, and Changsha Taishou also led Lingling County, Guiyang County, and Wuling County! In an instant, Sun Jian went from an ordinary warlord to a prince of Jingnan! Emperor Han Ling is such a big hand!

The main reason why Sun Jian is only coming back now is that the rebellion in the Yongliang area was born, in order to appease the local people as much as possible, Sun Jian was left in Wudu by Zhang Wen, the former general of the chariot cavalry, to monitor the movements of all parties at any time.

The reason why Sun Jian came back this time and got such a big reward, the biggest credit is still on Zhang Wen as a captain, Zhang Wen saw that the Yongliang war had completely subsided, and Sun Jian, who had outstanding military achievements, had not received any reward, how could he say that in the past? After all, during the Western Expedition, Sun Jian was still Zhang Wen's deputy general.

With Sun Jian's request, and the words of the powerful gate valve of Nanyang in the past, Emperor Han Ling also knew that he couldn't hold on, but Emperor Han Ling never thought about it, but there was no good excuse to withdraw Sun Jian, Sun Jian's loyalty to the Han Court, Emperor Han Ling also understood, in the past few years, Sun Jian has been far away from his hometown, fought in the south and north for the Han Dynasty, and has experienced hundreds of battles, second only to Cao Ying and Liu Bei, if you don't give a reward, you can't say it, right?

In fact, in the Jingnan region, it is nothing to give a reward to Sun Jian, after all, the Jingnan region is adjacent to Wulingman, and the population is not very large, except for a Changsha County, which can be described as a real barbarian land.

Sun Jian was very satisfied with Emperor Ling's reward, after all, Changsha is Sun Jian's second hometown, Yangzhou is occupied by Liu Bei, it is impossible at present, where else is there besides Jingnan? After Sun Jian thanked Emperor Ling at the court, he took thousands of pieces south to start a new journey.

Emperor Ling's reward, Sun Jian was happy, and some of the men who had been saved were happy, but there was one person who was not happy, and that was Ding Yuan! Although Jingnan is a barren land, there are also four large counties, aren't they? If you draw troops to form a tribe, you can make up at least fifty or sixty thousand people, and Emperor Ling's reward can make Ding Yuan's heart hurt.

But sometimes as a courtier is so helpless, Ding Yuan's allegiance to Emperor Han Ling, that is not many people can compare, since it is the meaning of Emperor Han Ling, there is no way, in addition to rebellion, it can only be a territory, a huge Jingzhou land, but divided into two pieces, as a Jingzhou pastor, Ding Yuan, is really tragic enough.

In Sun Jian's opinion, with the Holy Intention of Emperor Han Ling, Ding Yuan would let Jingnan out even if he was reluctant, but Sun Jian still had a little regret in his heart, if it was Jingbei, it would be more perfect

Nanyang Wancheng, outside the city Sun Jianjun temporary military camp.

"Lord, this is a thank you gift from the lord of Wancheng to the lord back then." Cheng Pu held the account book in his hand, walked into Sun Jian's Zhongjun tent with a smile on his face, and shouted loudly before he saw Sun Jian himself.

Looking up, Cheng Pu suddenly saw a young man who looked thirteen or fourteen years old, with a tiger's head and a tiger's brain, wiping a shining spear in his hand, sitting in the camp tent for a long time. How could Sun Ce be in the army?

"Cheng Pu has seen the young master" As Sun Jian's eldest son, Sun Ce, who has always been famous for his bravery, naturally received Cheng Pu's worship, and saw Cheng Pu respectfully bowing to Sun Ce.

"Huh? Uncle Cheng, are you here? Sun Ce had been concentrating on wiping his weapon, Cheng Pu entered, Sun Ce naturally saw it, but he didn't say anything, and after Cheng Pu saluted, he stood up modestly and greeted Cheng Pu.

"Young master, is the lord inside?" Seeing that although Sun Ce looks like a tiger, he has the style of a generation of heroes, Cheng Pu is very happy, is Sun Ce's little trick still hidden from Cheng Pu? I don't mind that in the Sun family, Sun Ce is Sun Jian's best heir.

"It's easier inside." Sun Ce nodded, smiled at Cheng Pu and said, although the camp tent is an ordinary camp tent, it has an internal and external wind, and it is separated by a curtain tent in the middle, after all, Sun Jian, who is the lord, also needs privacy.

"Demou is here, sit, sit first." As soon as Sun Ce's words fell, a big man in civilian clothes walked out of the inner tent, the big man was naturally Sun Jian, after going to the armor, Sun Jian actually looked a little beautiful, there are many talented people in Jiangnan, and it is true.

"The last general has seen the lord" Cheng Pu suddenly saw that Sun Jian had a little red mark on his mouth, and his old face suddenly turned red, thinking that in the curtain tent, maybe there was someone else, it seems that it is not the right time to come now.

"Well, come and sit down, let's talk about it, why did Demou come to find Jiansuo?" Sun Jian saw Sun Ce pouting at himself again and again, his expression suddenly froze, wiped his lips slightly, and said with an embarrassed smile.

Today, Sun Jian is very happy, because not only his favorite eldest son is here, but also Sun Jian's wife Wu, Wu is a great beauty, otherwise he would not be able to give birth to a bowed waist like Sun Shangxiang, who fascinated Liu Bei.

Perennial marching and fighting, few men can stand it, Sun Jian is also a man, and he is also a big hero with strong blood, maybe Sun Jian is a rare lover, in the past two years, he has endured not touching any woman, and today when the Wu family came, he immediately ignited Sun Jian's surname fire, and he didn't care about the eldest son outside the curtain tent, and directly hugged the back curtain that Wu entered

"Lord, this is the account book that has just been counted, and the gate lords in Wancheng have given the lord tens of thousands of truckloads of grain and hundreds of truckloads of gold, silver and copper coins to thank him for saving his life" Cheng Pu nodded, and said to Sun Jian with a smile, as if he had forgotten Sun Jian's indecent situation.

"Oh?" Sun Jian frowned, took the account book sent by Cheng Pu, and carefully flipped it up, the more he turned it, the more happy his face became, as a general, who didn't like it when he saw Qian Liang? Fighting on the front line all year round, there is often a shortage of food and grass in the army, and the feeling of hunger is uncomfortable.

"The land of Nanyang is worthy of being my Han Emperor's hometown, with this batch of money and grain, after arriving in Jingnan, I am not afraid that there will be no military funds to recruit new troops." With a thick smile on the corner of his mouth, Sun Jian glanced at Sun Ce, and then looked at Cheng Pu and said.

"The lord wants to recruit soldiers?" Cheng Pu was stunned, Sun Jian's idea was proposed for the first time, and it was not surprising that Cheng Pu was surprised, after all, the expansion of the army would easily touch the royal family in Luoyang.

"Of course!" Sun Jian replied without thinking: "If the major princes are ready to move today, if there is no territory, since Your Majesty handed over Jingnan to General Ben to take care of, General Ben naturally has to make some achievements, think about it, how many soldiers are left from Jiangdong now?" If the army is not expanded, how will the huge four counties of Jingnan be governed in the future? ”

"Well, Daddy missed one thing, the most important thing is to pacify Wulingman first, Wulingman is the cancer of my Han Dynasty, often go down the mountain to rob the township, if you can pacify Wulingman, Daddy's official position will definitely soar" Sun Ce on the side couldn't help but be lonely and said loudly, in Sun Ce's words, it can be heard that Wulingman is not in Sun Ce's eyes at all, a little child, he actually has such courage, and he deserves to be known as the little overlord of Jiangdong in the future.

"Wulingman?" Sun Jian squinted his eyes and smiled, looking a little disapproving, maybe Sun Jian has greater ambitions, where is this ambition? Could it be that Sun Jian wants to pacify Shanyue or Nanban?

"By the way, why did the young master come to the barracks today, could it be that something happened in Wu County?" Cheng Pu suddenly raised a question, Wu County is where the Sun family and all the soldiers and their families are located, and there must be no mistakes, otherwise it will be troublesome at that time.

"It's not a big deal, it's just that Liu Bei's little boy recruited soldiers in Wu County, and even caught soldiers in my grandson's house, Ce'er couldn't stand it, and threw these county soldiers out in public, didn't he come here to avoid trouble now?" Sun Jian smiled, although he looked a little blamed, but his eyes were very proud, eleven or twelve-year-old children, can solve more than a dozen county soldiers, can't it explain Sun Ce's ability?

"Then will Liu Bei be embarrassed by the small family I am waiting for?" Cheng Pu frowned, a little uneasy, and continued: "This Liu Bei started from the end of Wei, occupies the name of the Han clan, and has great ambitions, but he is actually a bandit, if it is not for His Majesty's favor, how can he be qualified to be named Marquis of Wu?" ”

"Oh, although Liu Xuande has hundreds of thousands of soldiers, he is just a bandit, and what he hates the most is that Danyang County actually fell into the hands of Liu Xuande, and Danyang County is the best source of soldiers for foot soldiers." Sun Jian's face was a little angry, indeed, Jiangdong is Sun Jian's hometown, if it wasn't occupied by Liu Bei, maybe Jiangdong would be given to Sun Jian.

"Hey, it's useless to talk too much, that's it, well, Demou, this time I went to Xiangyang, you have to take someone to Xiangyang City to order a batch of ordnance, with Ding Jianyang's bearing, I shouldn't be embarrassed." Shaking his head, Sun Jian knew that there was no point in scratching again, so it was better to avoid talking about it.

"No!" Cheng Pu bowed to Sun Jian, and had no opinion, since he wanted to expand the army, the first thing to bear the brunt of was naturally the weapon armor, the weapon armor built in Jingzhou was not as good as Xiangyang, so it was natural to order it in Xiangyang, anyway, Sun Jianjun was not short of money and food at present, right?
