In the Eastern Han Dynasty, it wanted to go from Shanyin in Huiji to Dongye, that is, from today's Shaoxing, Zhejiang to Fuzhou, Fujian, and the land route was completely blocked. The two places are separated by Huiji Mountain, Tiantai Mountain, among which the mountains are hundreds of miles of people are sparsely populated, even if there are people, they are all uncivilized Shanyue, and most of the Han people go into the mountains without returning, so they must take the waterway. It is at least 800 miles from San'in to Dongye by boat, which is equivalent to 400 kilometers, and the distance is quite long.

Dongye was the first place in the Qin Dynasty, and it was renamed Donghou Guan in the Eastern Han Dynasty, so the two place names are often mixed in the history books. Yu turned over and accompanied Wang Lang to Dongye by boat, Shang Sheng, the official of Donghou, originally refused, but after Yu turned into Chengxiao to take righteousness, Shang Sheng not only took Wang Lang in, but also was willing to raise troops for him to resist Sun Ce.

Since Wang Lang had settled down in Dongye, he also knew that Yu Fan still had an elderly mother in Shanyin, so he let him go home. Yu turned back to Shanyin, and Sun Ce had already comprehended Ji Taishou. Sun Ce treated him with great courtesy, continued to let him do his original gongcao, and treated him as a gift. Later, Sun Ce went around to solicit and often brought Yu Fu with him.

As soon as Sun Ce captured Huiji Shanyin, the bandits Huang Longluo and Zhou Bo took advantage of the chaos. Sun Ce took Dong Raid to the conquest, and Dong Raid was really brave, killing Huang Longluo and Zhou Bo, and stabilizing the situation in Huiji. Sun Ce sat in Shanyin, while observing and recruiting talents, he also hoped to use the strength of the locals to pursue Wang Lang. At this time, there were two people who were favored by Sun Ce, one was Han Yan, the magistrate of Yongning County, and the other was He Qi, the magistrate of Taimo County. He appointed Han Yan as the governor of the southern region and promoted He Qi as filial piety in order to win over these important local officials.

Huiji County has 14 county seats, and the mountains and mountains in the territory are all places where Shanyue gathers, and people who can be the county magistrate in Huiji have a set of ways to coexist with Shanyue. Or it is to collude with Shanyue and fish the villagers. Or is it like He Qi who has repeatedly broken through the mountains and mountains, and his reputation is powerful. so that they do not dare to offend. For Sun Ce, Pingding Huiji naturally has to rely on local snakes like Han Yan and He Qi in order to get twice the result with half the effort. Sun Ce first sent Han Yan to conquer Dongye, but Han Yan was defeated and returned, so Sun Ce reassigned He Qi as the southern lieutenant and asked him to deal with Wang Lang.

Shang Sheng, the official of Donghou, heard that the famous He Qi was coming. He couldn't care about Wang Lang, who came to him, so he was so frightened that he hurriedly sent an envoy to beg for surrender. He Qi threatened Shang Sheng on the one hand, and advised Shang Sheng on the other hand, and Shang Sheng finally surrendered the seal and prepared to surrender. Two of his subordinates, Zhang Ya and Zhan Qiang, were unwilling to surrender, and actually killed Shang Sheng, one claiming to be the supreme general, and the other claiming to be the Taishou of Huiji, and fought against Sun Ce.

He Qi had considerable prestige among Shanyue, and he secretly sent Shanyue to sow discord between Zhang Ya and his son-in-law He Xiong. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the two sides to fight each other, they sent troops in a big way and conquered Dongye in one fell swoop. Even if Sun Ce really ordered the slaughter of the city, he still let Wang Lang go. After Wang Lang broke Dongye City, he helped his old mother and wanted to escape to Jiaozhou by boat, but he was caught up by Sun Ce's soldiers at sea, and the arrows hit the cover of the ship before he came out to surrender. Sun Ce got Wang Lang and always hoped that he could be used for himself, but Wang Lang would rather die than give in. Sun Ce was angry. Because Wang Lang has a good reputation in the sea, he does not dare to kill him arbitrarily. had to put him under house arrest in Qu'a.

In the second year, Sun Ce led the army south, exterminated the bandits and heroes in the south of Wu County, and led troops to fight them, all of which were defeated. Yan Baihu saw that Sun Ce's army was strong and difficult to resist, so he hurriedly strengthened the fortifications. and sent his younger brother Yan Yu to negotiate peace. Yan Yu arrived at Sun Ce's military camp and asked for a separate meeting with Sun Ce, Sun Ce entered the camp and split the seat in half with a knife, Yan Yu was so frightened that his body twitched. Sun Ce smiled and said, "I heard that you can jump while sitting." I'm athletic, so I'm kidding you. ”

Yan Yu replied: "I think it's rude for you to use the knife." Sun Ce saw that this guy was a wreck, so he picked up the halberd and threw it at Yan Yu, stabbing Yan Yu to death on the spot.

When the news of Yan Yu's death came back to Yan Baihu's camp, everyone was deeply frightened. Sun Ce took advantage of the situation to attack and defeated Yan Baihu's troops. After Yan Baihu's defeat, he fled south to Yuhang and joined his old friend Xu Zhao.

Cheng Pu volunteered to lead the troops to take advantage of the victory to pursue the revenge, Sun Cenian relieved his old chief Sheng Xian in Xu Zhao, and now he took in his friend Yan Baihu in distress, quite chivalrous, and decided to let him go, no longer rush to kill.

Sun Ce pacified the local forces in the southern part of Wu County, punished their heroes, and stabilized the situation in Wu County. Danyang County is located in the south of the Yangtze River in Anhui Province today, and the area of Jiuhua Mountain and Huangshan Mountain in the southwest of the county has always been the place where the thieves gathered.

In order to take revenge on Sun Ce, Yuan Shu secretly contacted the bandit leaders of the seven dangerous mountain counties, and agreed to raise troops together to fight Sun Ce. Sun Cecai pacified the powerful forces in the south of Wu County, and when he heard that there was a change in the west, he hurriedly sent his cousin Sun Fu to guard Liyang in the north of the Jiangbei to prevent Yuan Shu from taking the opportunity to cross the river and attack, and personally led the army west to Danyang to crusade against the bandits.

These seven counties that broke out in turmoil were all in the southern part of present-day Anhui Province, and the three more certain counties included Xuancheng, the easternmost county, and the three counties of Xuanxian and Lingyang. The other four counties should also include Chungu, Wuhu, She and Yi according to the geographical location to the west of Zhuo County. When the bandits were in turmoil, Sun Quan, who was only sixteen years old, was stationed in Xuancheng, at this time there were less than a thousand soldiers in the city, and they were carelessly broken into the city by the bandits, and in an instant thousands of bandits poured into the city, Sun Quan rode on his horse, and the bandits had already been in close contact with the guards around him, and the blade even cut into Sun Quan's saddle.

At this critical moment, everyone was wasted, only Zhou Tai was desperately guarding Sun Quan's side, and everyone was inspired by Zhou Tai and fought desperately to kill the enemy. finally repelled the bandits, but Zhou Tai had already been wounded by twelve wounds and almost died because of the protector. If it weren't for Zhou Tai's efforts to protect him this time, Sun Quan would probably die here.

Zu Lang is Sun Ce's sworn enemy, Sun Ce was attacked by him five years ago when he was recruiting troops in Danyang, and almost lost his life. This time, Sun Ce led his troops to Lingyang to crusade against Zulang, and the process was also thrilling. In the process of encirclement and suppression, Sun Ce was surrounded by bandits, and it was all thanks to Cheng Pu and another cavalry to serve as personal shields on Sun Ce's left and right to escort Sun Ce to break through.

Sun Ce finally captured Zu Lang alive, Zu Lang was terrified, thinking that he would not be able to live this time, but Sun Ce said to him: "Back then, you led the crowd to attack me, and the knife was cut on my saddle, but today I am about to make a contribution, so I will naturally give up the old hatred, only use it, I will not embarrass you, you don't have to be afraid." Zu Lang was both surprised and delighted by Sun Ce's sudden generosity, and hurriedly kowtowed to apologize, and Sun Ce immediately appointed him as a thief Cao to follow the crusade against the bandits.

Three years ago, when Liu Miao's army was defeated and defeated, Tai Shici fled to the Wuhu mountains, was supported by the bandits, became the king of the mountain, and also called himself Danyang Taishou in Lingxian County. This time, Sun Ce went to the crusade and captured Tai Shici in Yongli. Sun Ce later personally untied him, took his hand and asked, "Do you remember the battle of the Divine Pavilion back then?" If you had arrested me at that time, what would you have done with me? ”

Tai Shici was not only straightforward, but also replied with a sense of humor: "Then it's hard to say." ”

Sun Ce laughed when he heard this, and replied: "I just need talents like you to make achievements together!" With that, he appointed him governor on the spot.

At this time, Yuzhang came with the news of Liu Xuan's illness and death, and Sun Ce was very emotional when he heard it, so he said to Tai Shici, who was Liu Xuan's subordinate: "Liu Zhoumu scolded me for attacking Lujiang for Yuan Shu, saying that my division was unknown and my behavior was despicable. The reason why I did this was because the thousands of soldiers and horses under my late father at that time were all in the hands of Yuan Shu, and I was bent on achieving my career and had to obey his wishes. Back then, I asked Yuan Shu twice to return my father's old department, and it took me twice to get back more than 1,000 people, and he still asked me to attack Lujiang, and the situation forced me to go. But after that, he didn't abide by his duties as a minister, conspired to be disobedient, and he didn't listen to persuasion, so I broke off my friendship with him, and the relationship between me and Yuan Shu is like this! Now that Liu Miao is dead, I can't wait to debate this matter with him in his lifetime. Now I heard that several of his sons are in Yuzhang, I don't know how Hua Xin treats them? What about the intentions of his people? You and Liu Miao are fellow villagers, and you were his subordinates back then, so you helped me visit Liu Miao's sons, and by the way, I announced to Liu Miao's subordinates that I was quite welcome if I wanted to follow me, and if I didn't want to follow me, I would appease them. In addition, we will also observe how Hua Xin is an official, and whether the people in Luling and Poyang are attached to him. It's up to you how many soldiers and horses you want to bring. ”

Tai Shici said: "I have an unforgivable sin, the general's measure is like Qi Huan and Jin Wen, there is nothing to say under it, and I must do my best and die." According to the opinion of the following, it is not advisable to have too many soldiers, as long as dozens of people accompany them. ”

Sun Ce personally took care of Taishi Ci Yan, and before leaving, the two said goodbye to their wrists, and Sun Ce asked, "When can I pay it back?" ”

Tai Shi Ci replied: "It's only sixty days." With that, he led the soldiers and horses to Yuzhang.

After Tai Shi Ci left, everyone talked about it, some said that he and Hua Xin were both from Qingzhou, and they were afraid that they would stay by Hua Xin's side to drive him, and some said that he would make a detour to Jiangxia and return to the north, and everyone was not optimistic that Tai Shi Ci would come back, only Sun Ce believed in him. Later, Tai Shici really came back on the appointed date, and he reported to Sun Ce what he had seen in Yuzhang: "Hua Xin is a virtuous person, but he has no talent for strategy, let alone any ambition, just to protect himself." In Luling, there is a Danyang man named Yuzhi, who falsely claimed to be named Luling Taishou. The marshal of Poyang blocked the troops to defend the border, did not accept the local officials sent by Huaxin, and said that they had become an independent county and were only willing to accept the Taishou sent by the Han Dynasty. Not only was Hua Xin unable to subdue the rebellion of Luling and Poyang, but even five or six thousand people gathered as a party on the upper wall near the sea. ”

Sun Ce clapped his hands and laughed when he heard this, so he had the idea of annexing Yuzhang and dominating Jiangnan. Later, when Sun Ce's class returned to Wu, he let Zu Lang and Tai Shici, who had surrendered, be the leaders of the army, and all the troops were honored.

Sun Ce pacified the counties in the western part of Danyang this time, and his Gong Cao Yu also followed. In one of the battles, after Sun Ce killed the thief marshal, he ordered his subordinates to hunt down the rest of the party.

Yu Chuan was startled when he saw Sun Ce alone, and hurriedly asked where the left and right guards had gone. Sun Ce replied: "It's all gone to chase the bandits." (To be continued......)
