Chapter 306: Jingzhou
Let's say that the land of Jingzhou is long from north to south, narrow from east to west, like a towel shape. It has a total of seven counties, the northernmost is Nanyang County, Cao Cao was in this county at the beginning and Liu Biao's Zhang Xiu to the death, and then Zhang Xiu surrendered, half of Nanyang was lost, Liu Biao sent Liu Bei to garrison Xinye, and then to prevent Cao Cao.
To the south of Nanyang County, there are two counties, Nanjun County and Jiangxia County. Nanjun is in the west, leaning on Yizhou, and Jiangxia is in the east, leaning on Yangzhou. Liu Biao's seat of governance is in Xiangyang City in the north of Nanjun, and Jiangling, another important military place, is in the south of Nanjun, so it can be said that this county is his base camp. And Jiangxia County to the east of Nanjun was also very important, and he sent his eldest son Liu Qi to be the Taishou.
When Liu Cong surrendered, the other six counties all surrendered with Liu Cong, and only Jiangxia Taishou Liu Qi had not surrendered, so the Sun-Liu coalition army was essentially the combined army of Sun Quan, who commanded Yangzhou, and Liu Qi, who commanded Jiangxia County. Although Liu Bei was an important minister under Liu Biao and led the army to Liu Qi, he was also a general under Liu Qi, and he was not qualified to form an alliance with Sun Quan.
When Cao Cao arrived in Jingzhou, he also took Nanjun as his base camp, and the sailors went east to conquer Jiangxia County, which did not surrender, and wrote a letter to Sun Quan to ask Sun Quan to surrender. However, then Zhou Yu led the troops to come, and in the battle of Chibi, Cao Cao was defeated, and Cao Cao could only lead the defeated army and retreat to Nanjun.
At this time, almost half of Cao Cao's army died, and there were not many people available. This battle was lost too badly, and it was easy to lead to instability in the rear, so he left the general Cao Ren and the general Xu Huang of Hengye to guard Jiangling, and the general Lejin to defend Xiangyang, and he returned to the old nest with the main force.
Zhou Yu fought such a big victory, of course, he took advantage of the victory to pursue. How can such a victory be right if you don't take the opportunity to grab land. So Cao Ren defended the city, Zhou Yu attacked the city, and the two fought in Nanjun for a whole year.
Cao Ren is the most powerful military general of the Cao family, and in the "Fu Zi" written by Fu Xuan of the Jin Dynasty to judge history, it is said that Cao Da Sima's bravery, ancient warriors can not compare, and among the generals under Cao Cao, only Zhang Liao can compare with him. Of course, even Zhang Liao is a little worse than him.
But Cao Ren is powerful. met a god general of Zhou Yu's level. can only be beaten to the head full of bags. In the end, he abandoned the city and fled, and the counties of Nanjun saw that Cao Ren led the troops to run, and immediately looked at the wind and surrendered.
But the people who surrendered in the southern county. Most did not surrender to Zhou Yu. Instead, he surrendered to Liu Qi. Why surrender Liu Qi? It's simple. Zhou Yu has been mixing in Yangzhou, and the people in Jingzhou are not familiar with him, but who is Liu Qi? The son of Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao.
These prefectural orders. Basically all of them were appointed by Liu Biao, and Cao Cao came to Jingzhou as a newcomer, but he had not yet gained a firm foothold, and he did not have time to change. So they saw that Cao's army could no longer hold Nanjun, so they surrendered to Liu Qi together, and in their eyes, Liu Qi was the rightful heir of Jingzhou.
Zhou Yu saw that so many people had surrendered to Liu Qi, and it was hard to say anything, after all, the two families were now an alliance, and the great enemy was Cao Cao, and he wanted to use Liu Qi's prestige to stabilize Jingzhou. So he gave a piece of land to Liu Qi, and the two of them shared Nanjun.
In fact, Liu Qi was already seriously ill and dying at this time, so the power fell into Liu Bei's hands. Liu Bei is Liu Biao's minister, and he once served as General Zuo and Yuzhou Mu, with a high prestige, and he replaced Liu Qi in charge, and basically no one has an opinion.
Liu Bei was secretly happy when he saw that everyone had come to join Liu Qi. He immediately named Liu Qi as the assassin of Jingzhou and led his troops south. Jingzhou has a total of seven counties, Nanyang County, Nan County, Jiangxia County in the north, Lingling County, Guiyang County, Wuling County and Changsha County in the south. Of course, Liu Bei was not satisfied with Jiangxia and Nanjun, he wanted to get the whole of Jingzhou.
The Taishou of the four counties in the south was actually appointed by Liu Biao, and Cao Cao was beaten away by Zhou Yu before he had time to change his newcomer. They saw that Jiangxia County and Nanjun in the north had been owned by Zhou Yu and Liu Qi, and they could no longer vote for Cao Cao, and Liu Bei crusaded in the name of Liu Qi, the son of Liu Biao, the assassin of Jingzhou, so they surrendered together. After all, Liu Biao is their old boss, Liu Biao is dead, and he should listen to Liu Qi.
Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, almost pacified the world, Liu Bei had no Son of Heaven to coerce, but he coerced the son of Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao, and also pacified Jingzhou.
Sun Quan saw that most of the county towns in Nanjun had taken refuge in Liu Qi, and he went to the four counties of Jingnan without bloodshed, and there was no way. Who made the father of the family Jingzhou pastor? The reason why she was able to lead Yangzhou was not also to inherit her sister's inheritance? It may be doubtful to inherit his sister's territory with his sister, but Liu Qi, as the eldest son of Liu Biao, inherited his father's Jingzhou, but there is nothing wrong with it.
However, Jingzhou has just recovered, and Liu Qi, who has been seriously ill, died of illness.
Liu Qi died, and Liu Bei knew that his chance to take the throne had come. When he was in Xuzhou, he had such an opportunity, when Tao Qian died, let him in Xuzhou, but unfortunately he didn't grasp it. Now that he is nearly fifty years old, the time is running out, and this time he must grasp it.
Liu Bei originally hung the title of General Zuo and Yuzhou Mu, and his name was very big, and he had been mixed in Jingzhou for so many years, although he was not reused by Liu Biao, but his popularity and connections were not low. If he wants to take Liu Qi's class, he only needs to see Sun Quan's attitude. If Sun Quan supports him, then he can handle everything smoothly, if he doesn't support him, it will be difficult to say whether others are too willing to serve him as the master.
At this time, Cao Cao and others were also discussing the ownership of Jingzhou. Most people think that Sun Quan will kill Liu Bei, but Cheng Yu said: "Sun Quan is young, his reputation is not obvious, and he is not feared by the sea." Cao Gong is invincible in the world, and even if Sun Quan is strategic, he can't stop him alone. Liu Bei is known as a hero, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are also ten thousand enemies, and Sun Quan will definitely use their fame to defend us. When Liu Bei got Sun Quan's help and gained a firm foothold, Sun Quan wanted to kill but couldn't kill him. ”
Sure enough, things were just as Cheng Yu expected. When Liu Bei saw that Liu Qi was dead, he immediately ran to Sun Quan and asked Sun Quan what he meant on behalf of the generals of Jingzhou.
Zhou Yu believes that Liu Bei should be put under house arrest at this time, otherwise Jingzhou will be owned by him, just like a dragon, and it will not be a thing in the pool. And Sun Quan felt that Cao Cao was in the north and it was difficult to resist, so he should recruit heroes and put Liu Bei under house arrest, which would damage his reputation. And even if Liu Bei is placed under house arrest, Jingzhou may not immediately submit to him, in case it makes more mess and gives Cao Cao a chance, it will be troublesome.
Of course, Liu Bei is also very good at being a person. Although he theoretically inherited Liu Qi's Jingzhou, it was due to Sun Quan. After all, the Battle of Chibi was won by Zhou Yu, and without Zhou Yu, Liu Qi would not even be able to keep Jiangxia Taishou. Therefore, he did not inherit Liu Qi's Jingzhou, but borrowed land from Sun Quan to support people, after all, he had too many subjects.
"Are you saying that you are borrowing the land of Jingzhou from me?" Sun Quan thought about it.
At this time, another important minister under Sun Quan agreed to lend land to Liu Bei, and this person was Lu Su. In the battle of Chibi in front, everyone had to surrender, but only Zhou Yu and Lu Su were the main battle. Now Chibi has won big. Lu Su's status in Sun Quan's heart has also risen. Heard that Lu Su agreed to borrow land. Sun Quan did not adopt Zhou Yu's opinion, but married his sister to Liu Bei and appointed Liu Bei as the pastor of Jingzhou.
Liu Bei was very happy to see that Sun Quan had given Jingzhou to himself. He cousin Sun Quan was a general of chariots. Led Xuzhou pastor. To the north of Yangzhou are Yuzhou and Xuzhou. Liu Bei himself hung the title of Yuzhou pastor for many years, of course, he couldn't bear to give it to others, so he let Sun Quan lead Xuzhou. Anyway, it's Cao Cao's territory, so I don't feel distressed how to give it away.
The history books say: "Cao Gongwen has the right to prepare the land industry, so he writes the book and writes on the ground." ”
The person who understands Liu Bei best is still Cao Cao, and the person who understands Cao Cao the most is also Liu Bei.
With the help of Sun Quan, Liu Bei has another state, this time it is like a dragon getting water, which cannot be copied.
In 2o8, the Battle of Red Cliffs. In 2o9, Zhou Yu defeated Cao Ren, Nanjun surrendered, and the four counties of Jingnan also surrendered. In the same year, Liu Qi died of illness, and Liu Bei, with the support of Sun Quan, became the new pastor of Jingzhou.
In 21o, Zhou Yu fell ill and died. He was Chinese New Year's Eve and 5 years old. He lived ten years longer than Sun Ce, but he also died young, and Sun Quan wept bitterly for it. Therefore, to dominate the world, you must first live long enough, if Cao Cao is as short-lived as Zhou Yu, what will history be?
When Cao Cao was thirty-five years old, he actually escaped from Luoyang and rebelled against Dong Zhuo. If he dies at that time, I'm afraid his reputation will be as loud as Bao Hong and Zhao Rong. What, who are Bao Hong and Zhao Rong, you ask? When they were young, they were the eighth lieutenants of the West Garden together with Cao Cao......
"It's been 21o years, time flies so fast!" Shen Feng sighed.
Zhou Yu withdrew from the stage of history, and Shen Feng took her, Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao and others to the territory. Ten years have passed in the game, but in Shen Feng's eyes, only ten months have passed. In the past ten months, Shen Feng pacified Hedong County, and successfully squeezed out Zhong Xuan, becoming the lieutenant of the imperial court, and in Yangzhou in the south, he also helped Xiao Xiang pacify the six counties of Yangzhou, making Xiao Xiang the actual master of Yangzhou.
When Shen Feng unified Sili and Yangzhou, Liangzhou, Yuzhou, and other places were also unified by other players, and now if you want to conquer the city, it is basically a battle at the state pastoral level.
However, the imperial court did not allow large-scale civil strife, Youzhou Mu Ye Fan, and the state Mu Li Xiefeng started a war, occupying half of the state, Cao Cao threw out a holy decree, let him withdraw his troops. Ye Fan refused to withdraw, but Cao Cao's army went on an expedition, Ye Fan was defeated, and it took a lot of effort to stop the war, and the position of state pastor was almost lost.
Seeing that Ye Fan had suffered a big loss, all the state pastor-level figures did not dare to start a war easily. Only Liangzhou, which Cao Cao couldn't control, was led by Lin Feng to constantly attack Sanfu. In terms of strength, Lin Feng's Xiliang Iron Cavalry was obviously stronger than Shen Feng's female soldiers, so Shen Feng could only stick to Sanfu, wait for work, and stalemate with Lin Feng.
"Lin Feng can't toss for a few days, Cao Cao is about to go west. When Cao Cao defeats the horse, I'll see who else he can rely on. Xiao Xiang said.
"Lin Feng can only lead Liangzhou to surrender, and once he surrenders, the north will be unified, and he can't attack us at will, otherwise Cao Cao won't allow it." Fang Yu said.
"Next, there are three major NPC forces, and the state pastors dare not move, it seems that they can only show internal affairs, and when Cao Cao dies, the world will collapse!" Xiao Xiao sighed.
"It's good for us, we need time." Shen Feng said.
"What are you going to do?" Fang Xue asked.
"Last time, the cheese was promoted in Jingzhou very unsuccessfully, and now that Liu Bei is leading Jingzhou, I can still let Liu Bei sell it vigorously with the relationship between Zhao Yun and Shang Xiang. And Shang Xiang is newly married, so I should accompany me more. ”
"Cut!" Fang Xue gave Shen Feng a roll of his eyes. (To be continued!)
