476 Gong Jin, I'm not afraid
Liu Biao is like this, and Liu Zhang is not much better.
Liu Biao rode into Jingzhou alone, he has that prestige, Liu Zhang is already the second generation, Liu Yan is dead, Liu Zhang was just pushed to the position by a group of Liu Yan's local subordinates.
Since Liu Zhang's inauguration, he has always done what others say, and he has very little control over his courtiers and generals.
One of the two major groups under his command is the Dongzhou group headed by Pang Xi and others, Liu Zhang used Pang Xi to guard Brazil County, as the Brazilian Taishou, and was specifically responsible for resisting Zhang Lu in Hanzhong.
The second is Zhao Wei, the general of Zhengdong Zhonglang, who defeated the heroes of Gan Ning and others, and he was the representative of the local people in Yizhou to lead the army and defend Liu Biao in Jingzhou.
One of them defended the north and the other to the east, protecting Yizhou from enemies from the north and east.
Of course, there is no other way to enter Shu.
Yizhou seems to be very safe, but it is not the case, for no other reason, that is, Liu Zhang is too "weak", which causes the ministers and generals to deviate from morality.
People see that you are strong, they think that you are wise, and they feel that they have hope to follow you, so if you can't show this, but you occupy such a good place, it is inevitable that people will want to rebel.
Zhao Wei is like this, and so is Pang Xi.
Fortunately, the two of them share the military power, each as a representative of different groups, and their interests are difficult to reconcile, so there is no possibility of joining forces, if the people of Yizhou were not so xenophobic, it is estimated that Liu Zhang would have been overthrown long ago, and Zhao Wei would have already mastered Yizhou.
No, neither side can tolerate the other.
Liu Zhang is a person with little ability, inheriting his father's position is purely lucky, and now his control over Yizhou is also very weak, the news that Guo Peng wants to seal the state and establish a state has reached Yizhou, and the ministers have a lot of discussions about it, but Liu Zhang has little opinion.
Some people think that Liu Zhang should express his position and say some of his own opinions, such as opposition and the like, because the Han Empire did not have this rule, but Liu Zhang felt that more things were better than less things, so he simply did not comment on this, everyone felt at ease, and it was better for everyone to go their own way.
Liu Zhang's statement is undoubtedly a manifestation of incompetence in the eyes of local powerful factions.
In Zhao Wei's view, this is even more so.
So Zhao Wei began to step up his contact with the major scholars in Yizhou, and planned to discuss with them, let them support him to create Liu Zhang's rebellion, and let Liu Zhang obediently hand over the position of Yizhou pastor.
Yizhou people are in charge of Yizhou people, this is the king's way, right?
As a result, in the country of abundance, a fierce rebellion is quietly brewing.
The two powerful clans surnamed Liu, who occupied the prefecture and county, had no opinion on this matter, but Liu Xuan, who was in Yuzhang County in panic, had a very good opinion on this, and he was very dissatisfied with this matter, so he personally wrote a recital to the imperial court to oppose this matter, and asked for some support by the way.
He was indeed in a difficult situation, and he hoped that the imperial court could slightly restrain Sun Ce's power that was making trouble in Jiangdong.
Can the imperial court really do it?
joke, Liu Miao is already sick and rushed to the doctor.
After crossing the river from Lujiang County to Jiangdong, Zhou Yu took all his own defection to Sun Ce, which made Sun Ce extremely moved, and immediately appointed Zhou Yu as the Zhonglang general, and then exterminated the remnants of Yuan Shu with Zhou Yu.
Sun Ce and Liu Xun had a big battle, fighting for many months without winning or losing, which made Sun Ce very difficult, until Zhou Yu crossed the river to vote and designed for Sun Ce to deal with Liu Xun.
Sun Ce regained the lost territory, and then turned around to deal with the centrifugal forces of Wu County and Danyang County.
After the battle with Liu Xun reached a stalemate, the clan forces of Wu County and Danyang County rose up, and under the leadership of a commander-in-chief named Zu Lang, they gathered tens of thousands of people to make enemies of Sun Ce, and responded to Yuan Shu's crusade, which once brought great trouble to Sun Ce.
However, soon, after Zhou Yu brought the news that Yuan Shu was exterminated by Guo Peng, the centrifugal forces were disheartened, and Sun Ce eliminated Liu Xun in one go, annexed his subordinates, turned around and conquered Zulang, and won three battles and three victories, eliminating a lot of clan forces.
As a result, the foundation of the Sun family in Jiangdong was stabilized.
With Zhou Yu's battle plan, Sun Ce was like a fish in water, and he fought successively, killed a large number of opposition forces, regained control of Wu County and Danyang County, and not only that, but also further marched to Huiji County to occupy Huiji County.
Huiji County is the hometown of the famous general Zhu Jun of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the Taishou at this time was the original Tao Qian's subordinate, Wang Lang, Wang Lang learned that Sun Ce was coming to him in Huiji County, and immediately actively deployed defenses.
Wang Lang's Gong Cao Yu always knew Sun Ce's bravery, so he persuaded Wang Lang to avoid his edge and hold on to the city, but Wang Lang refused, and he must face Sun Ce head-on, and he also prepared his army to meet the enemy.
"As an important minister of the imperial court, can you retreat in the face of thieves?"
Wang Lang insisted on not retreating.
Wang Lang is really not a soft persimmon, Sun Ce personally commanded the army to jointly attack several times, but failed to defeat Wang Lang, but was repelled by Wang Lang several times.
Later, it was Zhou Yu and Sun Ce's uncle Sun Jing who offered advice together, and Sun Ce found Wang Lang's weakness, personally led the army to defeat Wang Lang's army, captured Shanyin, the capital of Huiji County, and took Huiji in one fell swoop.
Wang Lang was defeated and forced to flee, but he was caught by Sun Ce not long after he fled, Sun Ce persuaded Wang Lang to surrender, Wang Lang resolutely refused to surrender, and Sun Ce did not dare to kill him because of his identity, so he had to put him under house arrest.
So Huiji County was also pocketed by Sun Ce.
Having said that, the Huiji County occupied by Sun Ce is actually like that, along the area of Hangzhou Bay, extending to the seaside, there are several county seats, and further south, there are several county seats, continue to go deeper, and it will be gone.
Today's Zhejiang and Fujian areas are almost no man's land, and the Han government has not set up even a county here, which means that there are no Han people in these places, and there are no resources worth developing, all of which are occupied by the Shanyue people, and they are wild lands.
Huiji County is really large, covering most of Zhejiang and almost all of Fujian, and the number of hukou is not as large as that of a large populous county in the Central Plains of Hebei.
The so-called occupation, that is, the occupation of the county seat, is almost not the territory of the Han Dynasty when it comes out of the county seat.
Even so, it was a great victory for Sun Ce, and after this victory, Zhou Yu suggested to Sun Ce, suggesting that Sun Ce submit a table to the imperial court and ask for a decent position as a name for the occupation of Jiangdong.
Sun Ce only has the military position of Zhonglang General at present, and he is used to dominate the entire Jiangdong, which is obviously out of place.
Sun Ce had just finished writing the recital, and as a result, the news came that the imperial court was going to give Guo Peng a feudal state.
"Feudal state, become a prince, build a country, build a temple, worship ancestors, inherit future generations, such a reward is the reward that men should pursue."
Sun Ce couldn't help but sigh.
Zhou Yu also sighed again and again.
"General Guo's merits are so great that they are no longer something that ordinary county marquis can reward, but despite this, I didn't expect General Guo to get such a reward, how can it not be fascinating?"
Sun Ce looked at Zhou Yu.
"It's a pity that I'm just a lieutenant general now."
Zhou Yu understood what Sun Ce meant.
"But you're my bosom friend, and you won't change anything."
"Hahaha!"
"Hahahaha!"
The two looked at each other and laughed, each understanding each other's mind.
After a long time, Sun Ce's expression became serious.
"Is General Guo friend or foe?"
"It's hard to say, General Guo did not continue to conquer Jiangdong, but returned to Yecheng, in this way, he should not cross the river, and he will not come back in a short time, but if he wants to come back, he will definitely get what he wants, Bo Fu, do you plan to be an enemy of General Guo?"
Zhou Yu looked at Sun Ce seriously.
"Lujiang is very important to me, I need Lujiang, so that I can better attack Jiangxia, kill Huang Zu, and avenge my father."
Sun Ce also looked at Zhou Yu very seriously.
"General Guo set up a guard in Lujiang, leaving the defenders, Bo Fu, I don't recommend that you be hostile to General Guo now, our strength is very weak, it is not wise to provoke General Guo at this time, even if there is a big river and natural danger, it cannot be a guarantee of safety for us."
"I know that I won't enter Lujiang for the time being, and Yuzhang County is my next target."
Sun Ce faced the north and took a deep breath: "But, Gong Jin, I'm not afraid, I know the strength of General Guo, but I'm not afraid, it is enough to make people feel happy to be able to compete with heroes like General Guo." ”
"Bo Fu ......"
Zhou Yu stood behind Sun Ce.
"General Guo joined the army at the age of nineteen, and in eleven years, he has achieved such a great cause, how can he not make people yearn for it! General Guo is a hero, and I want to be a hero! Sun Bofu will never be nameless, and he will never admit defeat easily, Gong Jin, are you willing to help me? ”
Sun Ce looked back at Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu stared at Sun Ce's face and smiled.
"If I don't want to, I should stay in Lujiang and prepare to be General Shi Guo and be your enemy, but I don't want to."
"Good!"
Sun Ce held Zhou Yu's hand tightly: "I really want to know how far we can go." ”
"Me too!"
Zhou Yu also held Sun Ce's hand tightly.
Two young men who were only 21 years old clasped hands tightly together, dreaming of a better tomorrow together.
They don't seem to care what their final outcome will be.
