Chapter 531: The Lord is Suspicious and the Dead Minister is Suspicious
Jiangxia was moved to Exian by Sun Quan, and renamed Wuchang, and built the city of Xiakou on the north bank of the Yangtze River and at the entrance of the Han River.
Sun Quan had previously fought Hefei, leaving only 3,000 soldiers and horses for Cheng Pu.
And these 3,000 people will be dispersed to the two cities of Xiakou and Wuchang.
Liu Pan had more than 10,000 elite soldiers in Youxian County, and had great hopes for the recovery of Jiangxia, which was a newly built fortress, and all grain, grass and military supplies had to be transported from Jiangdong.
A plan to encircle the point and send reinforcements was formed in Liu Pan's mind, and he deliberately marched east along the river with great fanfare, intending to cross the river again on the south bank of Xiakou.
This is a multiple-choice question for Cheng Pu, Liu Pan wants to see if he can save Xia Kou.
If you don't save it, you will get a military fortress in vain, and then use Xiakou as a base to attack Wuchang and Chaisang.
Liu Pan didn't know that Cai Mao was pitting himself, and he was still thinking that waiting for him to take Xiakou would be equivalent to choking the Han River and the Yangtze River, and he didn't have to worry about the grain road being attacked by Cheng Pu.
At that time, he only needed to ask Liu Biao to send some naval reinforcements, and Liu Pan would have the confidence to lay down Yuzhang again.
Of course, although Liu Pan's idea is good, it still needs a little luck.
He hoped that the civil strife in Jiangdong would last a little longer, and that as long as there were two or three months, Liu Pan's idea would be realized.
The sequelae of the defeat in Hefei were serious, and more than 20,000 people were lost in the first war, and there were countless people who wore linen and filial piety, so that Sun Quan's prestige in the army fell again, and the apportionment fee could not be recovered, so there were complaints in the three worlds of Jiangdong military, government and people, and the three worlds.
The house leak happened to rain overnight, and Yao Ji's account book incident spread, igniting the fuse for Sun Quan's resignation, and people frequently went to Danyang to contact Sun Yi, hoping that he would come forward to inherit Sun Ce's legacy.
Sun Quan was stunned at first, but soon calmed down, knowing that as long as he had military power, no one could replace him.
Therefore, the first thing he did when he returned to Wu County was to announce that the Wu Hou Mansion would cut down on food and clothing, use the money saved for bereavement pensions, ensure that there would be no mutiny in the battalions, and implement a curfew policy in the county, and ordered the city defense army to arrest the rumor-mongers on a large scale to ensure that the order of the people is not disorderly.
In addition, Sun Quan strengthened his surveillance of Zhang Zhao, he was Sun Ce's trusted minister, and it would be a little troublesome to follow the coaxing.
As for Danyang Taishou Sun Yi, Sun Quan did not pay attention to and deal with the tandem, and even publicly mocked himself on many occasions, saying that he was weak in virtue and talented, and if someone could really pick up the burden, he was very willing to abdicate and make way for Xian.
Sun Quan's three-plate axe was swung down, which had a certain effect, but he was still openly laughing at himself one moment ago, and the next second he set off a killing in Wu County.
In order to fulfill his promise to Sun Ben, Sun Quan found Zhou Yu's personal soldiers as evidence, accusing the inner servant Huo Chun of poisoning and killing the master, and limited Huo Chun to surrender voluntarily within one month.
Huo Chun had already been buried in the belly of the fish, and it was impossible to surrender, but he became an accomplice in poisoning Zhou Yu because of Zhou Shan's small kindness, and was finally wiped out by the three clans.
Sun Quan's hot hand shocked some Xiaoxiao and won the favor of many generals in the army.
After all, after so long, he is still investigating the truth, and even if such a lord has weak military ability, he is still a master.
Although he regained the trust of the military, Yao's account books were often haunted by the people, and Sun Quan's large-scale search and arrest could not be stopped, which made him determined.
The account books are from Yao Ji, Yao Ji is from Hefei, and the spearhead should have been pointed at Long Xiang.
Sun Quan was insecure and suspicious by nature, he believed that the two sides had just ended the war, Jiangdong and Huainan were separated by a long river, and the biggest beneficiary of his behavior of destroying his reputation with account books was not Long Xiang.
The trick of stigma, Sun Quan used it on Sun Ben, and it worked very well.
Since there is no cure, Sun Quan simply treats the root cause.
In October of the tenth year of Jian'an, Sun Yi was assassinated by the general Bian Hong, and the news shocked Jiangdong.
Sun Quan was gathering his ministers at that time to discuss the payment of taxes from the coming year, and then take out a part of the compensation for the fallen soldiers, when he heard the news of Sun Yi's death, he was stunned and then angry.
"How dare a thief kill his master? It seems that Huo Chun's three clans are not enough to deter these rebels, so I will raze the three clans of the Bian family! ”
After Sun Quan finished speaking, he looked at Zhou Shan and asked, "Did Bian Hong catch it?" The mastermind must be asked, he will not assassinate and kill the third brother for no reason. ”
"Ugh"
Zhou Shan looked embarrassed, lowered his head and replied in a low voice: "After Bian Hong's murder, he wanted to escape from the mountains, but he was caught up and shot by the soldiers led by the concubine."
"What? Hmph, what a coincidence."
Sun Quan's blue eyes widened, and he slammed the table and got up.
"The lord is angry, and it is not appropriate to conclude that the concubine is not suitable to kill people and kill people, and he has no motive to kill at all, it is best to send someone to find out, so as not to wronged a good person."
Yu turned his temperament and liked to make troubles, and when he saw Sun Quan attaching himself to the concubines of the county, he still didn't hold back his temperament.
Sun Quan stared at Yu for a long time, and then waved his hand to signal him to sit down, stroked his purple hair and said in a deep voice:
"Zhong Xiang sits quietly, how can there be no motive? Before my expedition to Jingzhou last year, Sheng Xiaozhang (Sheng Xian) repeatedly made negative remarks and bewitched the army, so he was arrested and died in prison. ”
"Wouldn't that be too far-fetched?"
Yu swallowed his saliva, and said in his heart that you are all guilty of slander, and there is no real evidence at all.
"Zhong Xiang's suggestion is safe, and it is not wrong to find out."
Sun Quan saw that Yu had doubts, so he turned his head to look at Sun He, and instructed: "Brother Lao went to Wanling to find out the truth about Shubi's assassination. ”
"Yui." Sun He got up and answered.
"That's right." Sun Quan stopped him again: "I remember that the Danyang County Cheng Dai was also a filial piety who was promoted by Sheng Xiaozhang, and my brother also checked it together." ”
"Okay, I'll go get ready first."
Sun Heyan turned around and walked out of the hall, Yu Xuan glanced at Gu Yong, and said in his heart that the lord said this publicly, even if the concubine and Dai Yuan were not guilty, it would be very troublesome.
There were a lot of people in the council hall, and some people rushed to Wanling to report the news before Sun He set off.
Since Sun He was ransomed, he has stayed in Wu County without new appointments, and Sun Quan has not allocated troops and horses, but he relied on the important ministers of the clan and only brought fifty generals to Danyang to investigate the case.
Since ancient times, the lord suspected the death of his ministers, and the concubines and Dai Yuan were greatly disappointed in the Sun family, so they designed to trap Sun He.
While blocking the news from the outside world, the two sent people to cross the river to Hefei to see Long Xiang, intending to sacrifice Danyang County for Neiying.
Although Concubine Lan and Dai Yuan were thoughtful, Sun Quan was like being able to pinch and calculate, and a few days after Sun He was killed, he immediately ordered his troops and horses to go to Wanling.
Although they received a report from friends in Wu County, the two of them were also frightened, and hurriedly took their families and subordinates, and hundreds of people fled west by boat.
was clearly rejected by Long Xiang, and Fei Lan sent someone to Jingzhou for help.
At this time, if there was no reply, he had to run, and he didn't prepare enough ships in a hurry, so many relatives couldn't take them away, and then he was hit by Sun Quan's butcher's knife.
Sun Quan did his best to punish the widows of the concubine and Dai Yuan, and cried in front of Sun Yi's tomb.
After two days of showing off in Wanling, Sun Quan was about to lead the army back to Wu, but Sun Yi's wife Xu came to the door.
