Chapter 407: Battle of Jiangdong (2)
In fact, the situation in Jiangdong is also intertwined and extremely complicated.
Since Sun Ce was killed, Sun Quan took charge of Jiangdong, and it has become more and more obvious. The local scholars, foreign ministers, and poor scholars were already entangled. In addition, after Sun Jian's death, he left Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, and Han Yi to run the old department; After Sun Ce's death, there were Zhou Yu, Zhang Zhao and other old departments. And Sun Quan had his own shogunate long before that, and he formed a force.
In short, there are also many contradictions within Jiangdong.
He Qi was picked up by Sun Ce, and he even emerged under Sun Ce.
In fact, Sun Ce left a good hand for Sun Quan. But the problem is that Sun Quan is unwilling to rely too much on Sun Ce's old department, because then there will be more trouble. If Sun Ce's old department is appointed, how should Sun Ce's son grow up in the future? This is a very real question, how dare Sun Quan take this lightly?
Before Sun Ce died, there was a last word of 'asking Zhang Zhao if you don't decide on internal affairs, and Zhou Yu if you don't decide on foreign affairs'.
But after Sun Ce's death, Zhou Yu was in Chaisang all the year round, saying that he was training a navy, but in fact it was to avoid Sun Quan's suspicion. And Zhang Zhao showed unparalleled talent under Sun Ce. But after arriving under Sun Quan, it was bleak. The most obvious example is that Jiangdong has been in trouble several times, and Zhang Zhao does not seem to have made a great effort.
In the battle of Chibi in history, Zhang Zhao surrendered, which is a clear proof.
Sun Quan has his own team.
Wen has Lu Su Zhuge Jin, Wu has Zhou Tai Ding Feng, how can Zhang Zhao be reused?
Later, he used Zhou Yu in the Battle of Red Cliffs, which was also a last resort. Zhou Tai and others are not enough to control the overall situation, and Zhang Zhao and others are unwilling to do their best for him. Cheng Pu Huang Gaide is highly respected. It was also difficult to fight Cao Cao.
Only Zhou Yu. There is only Zhou Yu......
Sun Quan in this case. Helplessly using Zhou Yu does not mean that he and Zhou Yu are unraveled, it is more of a helplessness.
He Qi's situation was extremely similar to Zhou Yu's, and even worse than Zhou Yu's.
Zhou Yu could hide in Chaisang and ignore the outside affairs, but He Qi wanted to stay in Huiji and continue to work for Sun Quan. However, Sun Quan could not really believe him. Therefore, he could only show that he was frivolous, and his entry and exit of carriages and horses were extremely luxurious, in order to show Sun Quan that he had no ambitions. One can imagine how bored He Qi was in his heart.
He Gongmiao has always been grateful to Sun Ce.
When Sun Shao's family was in Fuchun, he gave Sun Shao's mother and son a lot of care openly and secretly, and he was also a loyal person.
This talent is not inferior to Zhou Gongjin.
It's a pity that he doesn't have Zhou Gongjin's background and fame, and he can only survive in Huiji. Now Sun Quan ordered him to preside over the navy. and asked him to preside over the battle of Leadtang Bay, which was really out of desperation. I believe. He Qi is also very aware of this. If he fights this battle well, it will arouse Sun Quan's suspicion; If you don't play well, you will be deposed by Sun Quan's excuse. β
Xun Yu Zhengyan explained, Liu Chuang listened to it on the side, but nodded again and again.
"In this way, He Qi still has some loyalty to Sun Ce?"
"Exactly!"
"In that case, then I'll lobby for a bit or two."
Liu Chuang thought about it, then nodded and responded to the matter.
Now Mrs. Da Qiao and Sun Shao both live in Zhuge Liang's house, because Sun Shangxiang is there.
Mrs. Qiao didn't have any familiar people on Liu Chuang's side, so she was naturally closer to Sun Shangxiang...... In the past, Liu Chuang was not there, and Mrs. Qiao could be arranged to live in the General's Mansion. But now that he is in Luoyang, Liu Chuang is the prime minister, and Mrs. Qiao continues to live there, which is not suitable. After Liu Chuang agreed to Jia Xu and Xu Shu, he left Xun Yu.
"Uncle, I have something I want to ask."
Xun Yu seemed to have guessed the question Liu Chuang wanted to ask, and without waiting for him to speak, he nodded and said, "That incident does have something to do with Sun Quan. β
"Oh?"
Liu Chuang looked at Xun Yu in surprise, "Uncle knows what I'm going to ask?" β
Xun Yu said with a smile: "Of course I can guess what the prime minister wants to ask."
In fact, this incident was planned by Bong Hyo, during which he encountered something that made his plan go smoothly. Later, he speculated that it should be related to Sun Quan. Otherwise, his plan would not have been so successful. β
Liu Chuang gasped, and his face showed a look of horror.
"Actually, the prime minister doesn't have to be surprised.
This thing...... It's complicated on the inside. Speaking of which, although Sun Ce and Sun Quan are compatriots of the same mother, Sun Jian is particularly fond of Sun Ce, which inevitably makes Sun Quan feel guilty. In addition, after Sun Ce occupied Jiangdong, he was also a little suspicious of Sun Quan, and even drove him to Yuzhang for a time, which made Sun Quan even more dissatisfied. Sun Zhongmou is ambitious, and he is unwilling to live under his father and brother, so he has long had the intention of being self-reliant. When he was a lieutenant in Fengyi, he had a group of talents around him to help him, which fueled his ambitions. But Sun Bofu was in his prime, and Sun Quan knew very well that if Sun Ce did not die, he would have no future. β
Since ancient times, there have been countless examples of brothers turning against each other.
The grievances between the two brothers Sun Ce and Sun Quan were unexpected by Liu Chuang.
After listening to Xun Yu's words, he couldn't help but sigh.
Ambition and ** this thing, sometimes better than the flood beast......
In fact, in history, after Sun Quan became emperor, the contradiction between him and Sun Ce was also expressed. Sun Quan was proclaimed emperor and divided his family. But his posthumous posthumous title of Sun Ce is quite strange, and posthumously posthumously crowning King Huan of Changsha is tantamount to excluding Sun Ce.
In later generations, there was a saying that Sun Ce's death was related to Sun Quan.
It's just that Liu Chuang didn't believe it before. Now hearing Xun Yu say this, he can't help but sigh with emotion, feeling that Sun Quan is ruthless.
"Uncle, I still have something I want to ask for."
"Prime Minister, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
"I don't want to sit idly by in this war with Koto.
But I also know that Wen Yuan is in Hefei, Bo Yan is in Jiaozhou, and Yuan Zhi went to help Xingba, so the odds are quite good. I don't want to get involved, but I don't want to sit back and enjoy it either. I don't know if my uncle has any clever plan to help me in the Jiangdong war? β
Liu Chuang is an idle person, if you let him stay in Luoyang, I'm afraid it will make him very uncomfortable.
Xun Yu understood Liu Chuang's thoughts, smiled slightly, and said softly: "Why is it difficult for the prime minister to help the Jiangdong war?"
Today, Jingxiang is stable. There won't be much trouble.
Fazheng and Fa Xiaozhi sit in Wancheng. Enough to guard against a qiΔ danger.
The prime minister now moved the capital to Luoyang. The image of the Han dynasty has been revealed. At this time, why not hunt in the east, on the one hand, he can appease the people of the world, and on the other hand, he can also exert pressure on Jiangdong and make it chaotic. β
Togashi?
Liu Chuang's heart moved, and he had an opinion.
Yes, now he has moved the capital back to Luoyang. It is time to take advantage of this opportunity to further stabilize the situation.
Although Liu Chuang unified the north, his foundation was not very stable after all. Especially the land of Henan, he took it over from Cao Cao. In other words, the places in Henan are not stable, and officials of all sizes are also suspicious of Liu Chuang's arrival...... At this time, Liu Chuang should patrol the hunt on behalf of the heavens, further strengthen the luck of the Han family, and stabilize the hearts of the people.
Xun Yu's construction made Liu Chuang quite excited. After a moment of thought, he readily agreed.
"When the time comes. I would like to hunt with the Prime Minister. β
According to Liu Chuang's thoughts, he hoped that Xun Yu would stay in Luoyang.
But Xun Yu offered to follow Liu Chuangdong to hunt...... Liu Chuang couldn't help but be a little puzzled, but he didn't know how to ask.
That night, he told Zhuge Ling and others about the incident, but Zhuge Ling made a joke.
"The husband also knows that the hearts of the people in Henan are unstable.
If Mr. Xun stays in Luoyang, with his relationship with the Cao family, it is inevitable that he will be taken advantage of by the villain. The reason why he wants to follow his husband is to avoid these troubles. The husband wants Mr. Xun to stay in Luoyang because he wants him to take care of the overall situation. But in fact, if Mr. Xun stays, it will make another wave and make Luoyang chaotic. β
When Liu Chuang heard this, he suddenly realized.
Indeed, Xun Yu stayed in Luoyang, which was a bit troublesome.
"Since this is the case, let the father-in-law come to Luoyang immediately.
The situation in Jizhou has stabilized, and it is most appropriate for the Zhangren to come to preside over the overall situation. With his father-in-law and uncle in charge, I believe that Luoyang will not give birth to any chaos. β
The father-in-law that Liu Chuang said was not Lu Bu, but Xun Chen.
Now Xun Chen worships the history of Jizhou, but in terms of ability and qualifications, he will be safer if he sits in Luoyang.
"As for Sun Shao's matter......"
Elk thought for a while and said, "Shao followed his mother to the north, and he also had three years.
Calculating the age, this child is almost ten years old, and it is time to set a family affair. Since the husband intends to use Sun Shao to appease Jiangdong, why not get closer to him? I see that the pheasant slave is very close to Sun Shao on weekdays, so it's better to ......"
If Sun Shao becomes Liu Chuang's son-in-law, Liu Chuang will have sufficient reasons to pacify Jiangdong.
It's just that Liu Pheasant is Zhuge Ling's daughter...... Liu Chuang was quite moved by Elkling's thoughts, so he looked at Zhuge Ling.
Zhuge Ling thought about it for a while, and said with a smile: "Sun Shao, this child, is a little irritable, and sometimes he is more impulsive. But this child's nature is good, and he has also taken care of the pheasant slave in the past two years. The concubine doesn't have any opinions...... In this way, I'll find Shang Xiang another day to find out, I believe that Mrs. Qiao will not object, what does the husband think? β
Sun Shao and Liu Pheasant, from the initial unpleasantness, now have a lot of contacts.
Liu Chuang is quite satisfied with Sun Shao, but ......
"Let me think about this again."
Recruiting Sun Shao as a son-in-law has many benefits.
But the problem is that Liu Chuang is not willing to exchange his daughter's happiness for this benefit.
He didn't say yes right away, but put the matter down. At the same time, he asked Zhuge Ling to test Mrs. Qiao's tone to see if Mrs. Qiao was willing to let Sun Shao come out to help Liu Chuang.
To Liu Chuang's surprise, Mrs. Qiao did not show too much resistance to helping Liu Chuang.
And what about Sun Shao?
seems to have a lot of hatred for Sun Quan and Zhou Yu.
Hearing that he could help Liu Chuang deal with Sun Quan and Zhou Yu, he agreed to this matter without saying a word.
A few days later, Tai Shici's coffin was sent to Luoyang.
Liu Chuang ordered a funeral for Tai Shi Ci, and then ordered Tai Shi Xiang to go to Runan, and after meeting Guo Jia, he set off for Hefei.
Tai Shici was buried on the bank of the Luoshui River, posthumously to the Marquis of Xin.
After finishing Tai Shici's funeral, it was already February.
Liu Chuang immediately made an edict, announced to the world, and sent troops to Jiangdong......
At this time, Xu Shu had quietly left Luoyang with Sun Shao and went to Xuzhou to join Ganning.
Liu Chuang, on the other hand, ordered the conscription of soldiers and horses, and ordered Xiahou Yuan to be the general of Zhichong and enter Xuzhou. Meantime. Liu Chuang also took this opportunity. The Togashi Plan was announced. The route of his hunt this time. It was set in Xuzhou. As soon as the news came out, Jiangdong was in an uproar. In everyone's opinion, Liu Chuang's so-called Dongzhan is just a cover, and its real purpose is to cross the river from Xuzhou and attack Danyang.
Evidence?
Just look at the soldiers and horses that Liu Chuang brought with him this time to hunt in the east, you can see the clues.
Arrowblade Rider, Tiger Ben Army, and Tiger and Leopard Rider...... Three elite teams with a total of 30,000 soldiers and horses set off with Liu Chuang. These three elites can be said to be the strongest soldiers and horses under Liu Chuang. Now the three go hand in hand. How can Jiangdong not be chaotic?
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Peiguo, Qian County.
A fast horse stopped outside the gate of Caofu's ancestral house, and the knight on the horse was dusty, rolled the saddle and dismounted, and then stepped forward quickly, grabbed the door knocker and slapped it hard.
Since Cao Cao's death, Madame Bian has returned to help Ling, and Cao's mansion has been closed.
When the retainers in the house heard someone knocking on the door, they hurriedly opened the small door and poked their heads out.
"The eldest son's family letter. Please ask the lady and the second son to receive it. β
When the retainer heard this, he hurriedly let the knight in.
He knows. The eldest prince in the mouth of the knight is Cao Pi, the commander of Yanjing; And the second son he is talking about naturally refers to Cao Zhang.
After a while, Mrs. Bian, Cao Zhang, and Cao Xian came to the middle hall.
"What's the matter with Zihuan, who is in such a hurry?"
The messenger took a letter from his bosom, took a few quick steps, and presented it with both hands.
Cao Zhang stepped forward to take the letter and handed it to Mrs. Bian. Mrs. Bian opened the letter, looked at it twice, and handed it to Cao Xian.
The content of Cao Pi's letter is simple.
He first told Mrs. SΓΉ Bian that he had arrived in Yanjing, and everything was fine.
The environment in Yanjing is not as difficult as imagined, and even compared to Xu Du, it is not inferior. After that, Cao Pi put his heart into his heart and explained the situation to Mrs. Bian. In fact, after Cao Pi received the news that the Han Emperor was going north, he understood Liu Chuang's intentions. In the letter, he told Mrs. SΓΉ Bian: This is the end of my life, and I guess I will not have the opportunity to enter the court...... But if my Cao family wants to glorify the lintel, it is far from enough to rely on Cao Xian and Liu Xing.
Although it is said that Cao Cao's old subordinates will help the Cao family, this favor is used less than once.
As Liu Chuang's foundation becomes more and more solid, those old ministers of the Cao family will be able to give less and less help to the Cao family...... The Cao family wants to glorify the lintel, and nephew Liu Xing is the key. If the Cao family can't give Liu Xing strong support, I'm afraid it will be difficult for a long time. I heard that the prime minister intends to hunt in the east, and Ziwen must accompany him...... Ziwen can now wear filial piety to accompany him, so as not to leave the center for too long, and then the relationship between people will be weak. And Cao Xian should also return to Liu Chuang's side as much as possible. Only by following Liu Chuang's side can he ensure that Liu Chuang takes care of the Cao family, otherwise there will be trouble.
The content of the letter is basically like this.
After Mrs. Bian saw it, she also agreed.
"Ziwen, your brother wants you to go back as much as you can, and follow the prime minister to hunt Xuzhou, what do you think?"
Cao Zhang's heart is also a little contradictory.
After Cao Cao's death, he seemed to have matured a lot all of a sudden. On the one hand, he wanted to stay and continue to keep filial piety for Cao Cao, but on the other hand, he also knew that what Cao Pi said was true. If he leaves the center for too long, it will not be a good thing for the Cao family.
"Second sister, what do you think?"
Cao Xian thought about it, and then said to Mrs. Bian: "Zihuan's intentions, I already understand.
I'll leave for Luoyang tomorrow, and Ziwen will come with me when the time comes......"
Mrs. Bian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she heard this.
Although Cao Cao passed away, the Cao family was unprecedentedly united. Next, the Cao family will put all the resources on Cao Zhang's body. Cao Pi's voluntary withdrawal also indicates that Cao Zhang can get more resources.
"So it is as you say."
When Mrs. Bian said this, her eyes turned and fell on Cao Zhi, who was silent on the side.
He hesitated for a moment and said softly: "Ziwen, you go to Luoyang this time, and bring Zijian over by the way."
He is fifteen years old, which is the age of study. I heard that the prime minister is going to reopen Taixue, you take Zijian this time, and let him enter Taixue to study. β
Cao Zhang glanced at Cao Zhi and nodded in agreement.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
In March of the 11th year of Jian'an, Liu Chuang ordered Xun Chen Sima Fang to stay in Luoyang, and he led an army of 30,000 Yafeng, Tiger Ben and Tiger Leopard to leave Luoyang.
This time in the east hunt, Liu Chuang also brought his family.
Elk, Xun Dan, Zhuge Ling, Cao Xian, Zhen Mi, Mrs. Gan, Du Zhen and Lu Lan accompanied him, and Zhao Yun and Xu Chu guarded him. After Cao Zhang arrived in Luoyang, Liu Chuang did not ask too much, but directly worshiped Cao Zhang as the captain of the shooting sound and took over the tiger and leopard riding.
The 30,000 army set off in a mighty way, and the first destination was chosen in Qu County.
For this reason, Liu Chuang specially sent someone to pick up Xu Sheng and his wife and let them follow them. In the past, there were thirty-six thieves who accompanied Liu Chuang out of Qu County, and now there are very few left. Guan Hai is in Youzhou, and Liu Yong is in Jiaozhou, so it is impossible to come. After all the calculations, only Liu Chuang's godbrother-in-law Xu Sheng remained, and Liu Chuang naturally wanted to take him with him this time when he revisited his hometown.
It's just that Liu Chuang's trip also caused countless people to panic.
After Jiangdong Sun Quan got the news, he immediately sent someone to transfer Sun Jing from Danyang and ordered him to garrison Dantu.
At the same time, he also ordered Jiang Qintun's troops to support Sun Jing at any time, and ordered Pan Zhang's troops to strengthen the garrison of Dantu. It can be said that Liu Chuang's eastern hunting also made Jiangdong noisy, and the grass and trees were all soldiers. Although Zhou Yu thought that it was impossible for Liu Chuang to send troops from Xuzhou, he could not guarantee the current situation.
Just when Sun Quan was frantically deploying troops, the situation in Jiangdong changed again.
Liu Yong raised troops from Dongzhi and approached Yongning, which was later where Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province, was located; And Lu Xun defeated the Jiangdong soldiers and horses in Nanye, and after conquering Gan County, he went north along the Ganshui River and approached Luling. In desperation, Sun Quan ordered Cheng Pu to lead his troops south and garrison Shiyang; Later, he recruited soldiers and horses, with Ding Feng as the main general, and stationed troops at the end of the army, intending to prevent the Han army from going north.
After Liu Chuang received the news, he couldn't help laughing.
He said to Xun Yu: "It seems that this Jiangdong is blue-eyed, but now it is chaotic." β
Xun Yu smiled and said nothing, only nodded slightly.
Indeed, Sun Quan is really messed up at this time, and then it only depends on Xu Shu and Zhang Liao, what kind of means they will use! (To be continued......)
