Volume 2 Heroes in Troubled Times Chapter 10 Winning the Central Plains Section 15
Chapter 10 won the Central Plains 15th Festival in March, quarrying rocks. Zhou Yu's navy marched into the quarry, and Cheng Pu, Zhang Hong, Jiang Qin, and Zhou Tai led more than 500 warships along the river, ready for battle.
Zhou Yu took a small boat and hurried to Sun Ce's handsome boat. Cheng Pu, Zhang Hong and other Jiangdong civil and military officials saw Zhou Yu's grim expression and rushed straight towards him with murderous aura, and they were all frightened and uneasy.
There was no Sun Ce, Sun Ben, Sun Quan and others on the handsome boat, Zhou Yu already knew it in his heart, and he split his head and asked, "How is Brother Bo Fu's injury?" Cheng Pu and the others' faces changed suddenly, they opened their mouths, and they didn't dare to speak for a long time.
Zhang Hong was more calm, he barely squeezed out a smile, bowed down and said: "Gongjin misunderstood, Lord Sun was forced to withdraw his troops quickly. There was a rebellion in the Yuhang and Qiantang areas of Huiji County, and the thieves were very loud......"
"Hmph......" Zhou Yujian raised his eyebrows, glared at Zhang Hong, and sneered a few times.
"Gong Jin, we have been defeated in the Eagle Shooting Pavilion near Chaohu Lake, and the morale of the army has been dispersed, and any more fighting will only increase casualties. At this time, although the army lost the Lujiang River, it could ensure that Jiangdong did not lose ......"
"Jiangdong is not lost? It's a joke. Lujiang was lost, Jiujiang was not taken, and the two counties in Jiangbei were all controlled by Cao Cao, and he could call him at any time. And there is a rebellion in Jiangdong, and he is too busy to take care of himself, how can he have the spare strength to resist Cao Cao's attack? We were attacked before and after, how could Jiangdong not lose? Zhou Yu slapped his palm on the desk and roared angrily,
"Do you have any brains? When death is on the verge of death, we can't trust each other and work together to defend Jiangdong, but we are suspicious of each other here and wary of each other. The enemy is in Jiangbei, in Jingzhou, not in Jiangdong, not in my own home, not me Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu's roar echoed in the cabin, hitting the hearts of Jiangdong generals heavily.
Cheng Pu and the others looked ashamed and bowed their heads silently.
"What is the extent of Bo Fu's injuries?" Zhou Yu stood up suddenly, waved his arms vigorously, and shouted,
"If Bo Fu is in danger, the Jiangdong Naval Division must use all their warships to defend more than 1,000 miles of the river from Wujun Dantu to Yuzhang Chaisang to prevent Cao Cao and Liu Biao's joint attack. The infantry armies of the four counties of Jiangdong must also immediately open up the major cities in various places to deter and suppress the rebels who take advantage of the opportunity to start an uprising, so as to quickly stabilize Jiangdong and ensure that Jiangdong is not lost. ”
"If Bo Fu's injuries are not serious, there is no need for you to abandon Lujiang and retreat to Jiangdong. You should join me in defending Wancheng and Juchao, waiting for an opportunity to defeat Cao Cao and Yuan Yao, retake Lujiang, and occupy Jiujiang County. The importance of the two counties of Jiangbei to Jiangdong is self-evident, and the loss of the two counties of Jiangbei will not only be under the attack of the enemy, but also lose the forward position of attacking the Central Plains in the north, and the difficulty of going north to conquer will be greatly increased in the future. Cheng Pu's heart moved, and he stopped talking.
Zhang Hong hesitated for a long time, and finally squeezed out a few words,
"The adult is seriously injured, but it has been controlled and his life is safe." Zhou Yu sneered and strode out of the cabin.
When he walked near the hatch, Zhou Yu stopped, turned his head to look at the panicked group of Jiangdong officials, and said hatefully: "Please tell Brother Bo Fu that at this time Jiangdong is in danger, please believe me." I, Zhou Yu, am not a jackal, nor a treacherous, and I will not take advantage of my brother's precarious situation to provoke infighting and seize the inheritance of others. Now Jiangdong is like a crumbling warship struggling on the rough sea, and we are all shipwrecked on this warship. If we want to survive and defend Jiangdong, we must treat each other with all sincerity and help each other in the same boat, otherwise, the ship will be destroyed and people will die, and everyone will see you under Jiuquan. Zhou Yu kicked open the door of the boat and walked away.
Zhang Hong suddenly thought of something and hurriedly chased him out,
"Gong Jin, Gong Jin...... Let's give up Lujiang for the time being, don't fight anymore. Zhou Yu didn't look back, just waved his hand and left quickly.
In late March, Sun Ce's naval division Chen Bing was on the front line of Dantu and Wuhu, and Zhou Yu's naval division Chen Bing was on the first line of Chungu and Chaisang, confronting Cao Cao's army across the river.
At the same time, the Jiangdong infantry army quickly rushed to the major cities of Danyang, Wu County and Huiji County, patrolling day and night to prevent accidents.
One of Zhou Yu's infantry troops stayed in Nanchang, and the other marched east by boat, stationed troops in the areas of Wancheng, Juchao and Quarry Rock.
Cao Cao kept his promise and led his army to withdraw to Jiujiang County. After Cao Cao severely damaged the Jiangdong Army, he completely gained a foothold in Jiujiang County.
However, he was worried that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu would join forces to counterattack Jiujiang from the direction of Liyang, and at the same time, he also wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of Yuan Yao and Sun Ce to seize Lujiang, consume the strength of both sides, and prepare for him to attack Lujiang and go south to Jiangdong after stabilizing Xuzhou and Jiujiang County.
So he didn't hesitate at all, generously gave up Lujiang County, returned to Shouchun to rectify the army first, and went to accumulate grain and grass.
Yuan Yao's forces were limited, and although he took Shucheng with victory, in the face of Zhou Yu's fierce counterattack, he not only failed to hold Shucheng, but even lost Longshucheng (now Shucheng County, Anhui, at the eastern foot of Dabie Mountain), and finally had to retreat to Lu'an and Anfeng.
Zhou Yu was worried about the situation in Jiangdong, and was worried that Cao Cao would take the opportunity to attack Lujiang again, so after thinking twice, he decided to give up going north to attack Yuan Yao, and instead ordered the army to stick to the line of Wancheng, Juchao and Shucheng, and stationed heavy troops in Quarry Rock, ready to enter Danyang at any time to save the crisis.
April of the fourth year of the Han Dynasty (200 AD). At the beginning of April, Danyang County, Yangzhou, Moling (now Nanjing).
Mrs. Sun and the Jiangdong officials tried their best to find the best healer to treat Sun Ce, but none of the best healers in the world today were in Jiangdong.
Master Xiangkai is in Hebei, Master Huatuo is in the Central Plains, Master Zhang Ji (Zhang Zhongjing) is in Nanyang, and the best doctor in Jiangdong is Master Yu Ji, but this person was killed by Sun Ce.
The murderer will be killed, Sun Ce failed to escape this curse, and finally couldn't support it. When he was dying, Sun Ce grabbed his mother with one hand and his wife Qiao with the other, and burst into tears.
He repeatedly told Sun Quan, who was standing by the bedside, to serve his mother well and not let his mother suffer such pain again.
"In this life, I am most sorry for my mother. I did not listen to my mother, and I killed and poked me wantonly, and my sins were so great that I have today. After I die, you have to listen to your mother, don't make the same mistake again, remember, remember. "Sun Quan cried and worshipped and was taught,
"Big brother, you're gone, how can I defend Jiangdong?" Sun Ce closed his eyes and let out a long sigh.
"It was only today that I realized that my mother's words were right. If I listen to my mother, even if I die, how can I leave such a crisis for you to struggle with. ”
"How many times did my mother persuade me to treat Gongjin as my brother and trust him, but I couldn't do it. Maybe it's because Gong Jin is better than me in everything, I have hated him since I was a child, and I wanted to surpass him since I was a child, but I am still worse than him. What especially haunts me, and what makes me hate myself the most, is that whenever I get into trouble, the first thing that comes to mind is always him. Although Gong Jin is younger than me, he is like my brother, every time he receives my request for help, he does not hesitate to come to me without hesitation and give me the greatest help. When I went south to fight Jiangdong, he helped me open up the situation, and when I went north to fight Yuan Shu, he helped me enter Shouchun. When I went west to fight Jingzhou, he helped me kill Huang Zu and avenged my father. Today, I'm going to die, and I still have to ask him for help, hoping that he can help me hold Jiangdong and help you sit in Jiangdong. Sun Ce raised his head with difficulty, slowly opened his eyes to look at Sun Quan, and said word by word: "Remember, Gongjin is your elder brother, your elder brother, you have to trust him as you trust me." When you are in trouble, you must ask him for help. Whenever and wherever you are, you must be the first to think of him, the first to ask him for help, he will help you out of danger, he will help you achieve great things. ”
"Big brother......" Sun Quan was slightly stunned, hesitated for a moment, and did not speak. Sun Ce sighed bitterly, lay down on the couch weakly, looked at Mrs. Sun and said sadly: "Mother, Zhongmou, like me, doesn't believe in Gongjin, it seems that he can't keep the foundation of Jiangdong." If the situation becomes more and more critical, you take the whole family to vote for Gongjin and keep the blood of the Sun family. Mrs. Sun cried bitterly, raised her hand and gave Sun Quan two slaps,
"Your brother's life is gone, is there anything wrong with his words?" Sun Quan knelt on the ground, kowtowed again and again to plead guilty, raised his hand and swore that he would definitely regard Zhou Yu as a brother and trust him absolutely.
"I know what you're worried about, but if you think about it carefully, you know that Zhou Yu will never dare to send troops to the east and compete with you for the three counties of Jiangdong." Sun Ce saw Sun Quan swearing by the curse, so he was a little relieved and explained to him in a low voice,
"After the Central Plains War, the situation in the world has changed, and Hebei is like a rainbow and will soon sweep the world. In order to prevent Li Hong from usurping the Han Sheji, Yuan Shao, Liu Biao, Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others were eager to recover and prepared to join forces to fight Hebei again. But whether it can defeat Hebei, no one knows. In this case, the Yangtze River became the last barrier to prevent Li Hongquan from taking the world, and the stabilization of Jingzhou, Yangzhou and Yizhou became the most urgent task for the coalition forces. ”
"At present, although there is Zhang Xian's rebellion in Jingzhou, Liu Biao will soon be able to calm down. The dispute between Liu Zhang and Zhao Wei in Yizhou is estimated to take a while to determine the winner, but the day the two of them divide the winner is the day when Yizhou is lost. I can be sure that Yuan Shao and Liu Biao are both eyeing Yizhou at the moment, and they will send troops to attack when the time is right. The situation in Yangzhou is the most chaotic. The two counties of Jiangbei were taken away by Cao Cao and Yuan Yao, and the four counties of Jiangdong were occupied by me and Gongjin. But no matter whether Cao Cao and Yuan Yao competed, or Gong Jin and I competed, in the end, it was not the attacking sides that benefited, but other opponents who were eyeing each other. ”
"After my death, if the three counties of Jiangdong are not well controlled, there will be a rebellion. Jiangdong rebelled, and Cao Cao and Yuan Yao in Jiangbei would definitely take advantage of the situation to go south, and Jiangdong would immediately fall into a crisis. Jiangdong is in a crisis, and the most nervous is not us, but Gongjin. ”
"Gongjin now has only one Yuzhang County, his west is Liu Biao, north is Cao Cao and Yuan Yao, east is us, surrounded by enemies on three sides, the slightest carelessness is the annihilation of the whole army. Therefore, he was most worried about chaos in Jiangdong, so that Cao Cao and Yuan Yao would get the opportunity to take advantage of the situation. Cao Cao and Yuan Yao hit Jiangdong, how could Liu Biao let go of such an opportunity? At that time, we can withdraw to Wu County and Huiji, but Zhou Yu is divided and surrounded, and there is no escape, and he will die overnight. The reason why Zhou Yu is currently clinging to Anhui City and living in the nest is precisely to prevent this from happening. And the reason why I evacuated Lujiang in a hurry was precisely to drag his army in Lujiang, so that even if he had the intention to seize the three counties of Jiangdong, he would not have time to divide his troops. ”
"The situation in Koto has become a dead game. If Gongjin wants to survive, he must defend the Lujiang River, he must ensure the stability of the three counties of Jiangdong, and he must work together with me. After my death, in order to ensure the stability of the three counties of Jiangdong, Gongjin had to help you wholeheartedly. Otherwise, Koto is lost, and everyone is finished together. ”
"What about the future? What will happen in the future? Sun Quan asked. Sun Ce probably said that he was tired and didn't speak for a long time.
"Big Brother ......"
"It's your business in the future, and I can only help you so much." Sun Ce spread out and held Mrs. Sun's hand, and gently touched Sun Quan's face,
"The future will be your world." That night, Sun Ce died at the age of twenty-six. In early April, Zhou Yu received an urgent letter from Mrs. Sun, and after learning that Sun Ce had died of his injuries, he immediately set off to Moling to pay respects.
Zhou Yu's subordinates repeatedly dissuaded him. At this moment, the situation in Jiangdong was critical, and Sun Quan was very likely to kill Zhou Yu, but Zhou Yu had made up his mind and insisted on going to Moling.
Sun Quan and Jiangdong officials greeted each other thirty miles outside Moling City. Sun Quan is a brother and extremely respectful.
When he arrived at the foot of Moling City, Zhou Yu saw Mrs. Sun, Wu Jing, Sun Jing and others personally greet him, and he was so excited that he burst into tears, bowed to the ground, and called him his mother.
Mrs. Sun hugged Zhou Yu, thinking of the dead Sun Ce, she couldn't help but feel sad and cried loudly. After paying tribute to Sun Ce, Zhou Yu and Sun Quan and other Jiangdong officials discussed the situation in Jiangdong, and they all felt that the mountain rain was coming, and the situation was grim.
Early the next morning, Zhou Yu prepared to leave under the pretext of the tense battle situation in Lujiang. Sun Quan, Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong and others tried their best to keep them, but Zhou Yu was very resolute.
Sun Quan had no choice but to accompany him to the inner mansion to bid farewell to Mrs. Sun. Hearing that Zhou Yu was leaving, Mrs. Sun suddenly burst into tears.
"Why is Gongjin leaving? Jiangdong is so critical, can't you stay and help Zhongmou? Zhou Yu's eyes were slightly red, and he was silent.
Sun Quan took the opportunity to persuade again, Zhou Yu's face was difficult,
"I have already said that as long as I, Zhou Yu, am here in one breath, when Jiangdong is safe, please rest assured that the boss and Zhongmou are safe."
"Gongjin, stay, even if I beg you." Mrs. Sun grabbed Zhou Yu's hand and cried and said,
"Jiangdong is in danger, but Zhongmou is young and unable to control the three counties, so he asked Gongjin to stay and help."
"It's not that I don't want to stay, it's that the situation on the front line is too tense." With tears in his eyes, Zhou Yu said helplessly,
"Once the news of Bo Fu's serious injury and death spreads, Cao Cao and Yuan Yao in Jiangbei and Liu Biao in Jingzhou will inevitably take the opportunity to attack in two ways. As long as they break through the Yangtze River natural danger, I will no longer have a way to save the situation. Old Madam Sun shook her head,
"Since Gongjin is determined to leave, let's take the three counties of Jiangdong with you." Zhou Yu was taken aback and hurriedly knelt on the ground,
"Mother, the situation in Jiangdong is extremely serious, the only way to keep Jiangdong is to defend the Yangtze River, please Mother take the overall situation first, don't force me." Sun Quan also knelt beside Mrs. Sun at this time, holding Sun Ce's seal ribbon in his hand, and handed it over respectfully.
"Mother, my son is incompetent and unable to bear the heavy responsibility of the three counties of Jiangdong, please let my mother hand over the three counties of Jiangdong to my brother." Zhou Yu was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat
"Wow" came out, and his whole body trembled. If you don't stay today, this head won't be saved anyway.
"Gong Jin, take the three counties of Jiangdong." Old Madam Sun held the seal ribbon in her hand and slowly sent it to Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu knelt on the ground, looked down at the cold ground, and smiled bitterly,
"Mother, I listen to you, I'll stay."
"Gong Jin......" Mrs. Sun hugged Zhou Yu excitedly, crying silently,
"Son...... Thank you......" Sun Quan summoned the Jiangdong officials to discuss urgently. Hearing that Zhou Yu was going to stay in Moling and assist Sun Quan in stabilizing the four counties of Jiangdong, the Jiangdong officials suddenly cheered, and the panic and sorrow in their hearts disappeared in an instant, and the haze shrouded in the sky over Moling immediately disappeared.
Sun Ce was a general who commanded the three counties of Jiangdong. Zhou Yu is the general of Jianwei Zhonglang and the leader of Yuzhang County.
The official positions of these two people were enshrined by decree of the Son of Heaven. Although Sun Quan has fought a lot of battles with Sun Ce and made a lot of contributions, so far he is only a school captain, and he has no official documents from the imperial court, so to put it bluntly, he is a commander of Sun Ce's personal department.
According to the laws of the Great Han Dynasty, he was not qualified to supervise the military administration of Jiangdong after Sun Ce's death, and he had no right to command and dispatch Zhou Yu and the county guards with Sun Ce's seal.
If you want to dig deeper, Sun Quan's practice is a major crime of rebellion to kill the nine clans. Now the people of the three counties of Jiangdong can raise troops at will, and there are very good reasons.
What qualifications does Sun Quan have to take charge of the three counties of Jiangdong? Are the three counties of Jiangdong the private property of his grandson's family? Regardless of whether it was according to the laws of the Great Han Dynasty or according to the family patriarchal law, Sun Quan was not qualified to supervise the three counties of Jiangdong, nor was he qualified to inherit Sun Ce's army and property.
Sun Quan is now a complete Han rebellion, a family rebellion, and everyone will be punished. However, Sun Quan is very smart, he will not do such a stupid thing, become the target of public criticism, and plunge the three counties of Jiangdong into the abyss of war.
According to the law of the Great Han Dynasty, the captured general Sun Ce died, and the military and political affairs should be led by Shi Zhangzhao, the head of the general's mansion.
When the new appointment of the imperial court is down, Zhang Zhao's acting authority can be handed over. Zhang Zhao was a famous scholar in Pengcheng, Xuzhou, and belonged to the Liuyu scholars in Jiangdong, and was the first subordinate to follow Sun Ce south to Jiangdong.
Although he was very famous in the Jianghuai area, he was not recognized by the clan of the gate lord in Jiangdong, and he could not help Sun Quan quickly stabilize the three counties in Jiangdong.
Of course, he can't control the powerful Jiangdong generals. Now that Zhou Yu is staying in Moling, the most difficult and difficult problems faced by Sun Quan have all been solved.
Zhou Yu was a general in Jianwei, a high-ranking official in Jiangdong after Sun Ce, and he nominally supervised the military administration of the four counties in Jiangdong, which was completely in line with the provisions of the Great Han Law.
The county officials of Jiangdong and the generals of the Jiangdong Army at all levels could not raise objections. Zhou Yu had an army in his hands and was strong in force, and his open support for Sun Quan was tantamount to a sudden increase in Sun Quan's strength.
So far, Sun Quan has not fully controlled the Jiangdong Army. The composition of the Jiangdong Army is very complicated, with Sun Jian's old subordinates, such as Cheng Pu, Han Dang and others.
There are troops brought by Sun Ce from Jiangbei, such as Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai and others. There are generals recruited by Sun Ce from Jiangdong, such as Dong Xi, Tai Shici and others.
There are parts of Wu Jing, Sun Jing, Sun Ben and others. Among these people, Sun Jian's old subordinates and Wu Jing, Sun Jing, Sun Ben and other clan armies naturally obeyed the orders of Old Madam Sun after Sun Ce's death, so as not to be involved in the struggle for family power.
Behind Sun Quan was Mrs. Sun, and Sun Quan was rightfully supported by these armies. However, Sun Ce's personal troops and Jiangdong generals loyal to Sun Ce would not obey Mrs. Sun, and it was this part of the army that Sun Quan could not directly control.
And this part of the army turned to be the main force of the Jiangdong Army, which made Sun Quan's position shaky and full of crises.
Zhou Yu stayed in Moling, and the main force of the army was in the area of Wancheng, Juchao and Quarry Rock. If there is a slight disturbance in Moling, Zhou Yu's army can quickly kill it.
The Jiangdong generals were forced to threaten, even if they were very dissatisfied with Sun Quan, they did not dare to openly provoke, let alone be dissatisfied, and plotted against each other.
Under Zhou Yu's escort, Sun Quan could smoothly inherit Sun Ce's army and property, and gradually establish and consolidate his own power.
In addition, the most important point is that Zhou Yu came forward to take charge of Jiangdong's military and political affairs at this moment, and he could use his many advantages to help Sun Quan quickly stabilize Jiangdong.
Zhou Yu was born in a high-ranking family in the Huaishui area, and has a deep relationship with many wealthy people in Jiangdong.
In the process of stabilizing Jiangdong County, he adopted a completely different approach from Sun Ce. Sun Ce wielded a knife to kill, and Zhou Yu tried his best to appease.
Time has proved that Sun Ce was wrong, and the situation in the three counties of Jiangdong is still unstable, and after his death, it is on the verge of collapse.
Zhou Yu was in charge of the Jiangdong military and political affairs, and with what he had done in Yuzhang in recent years, he could completely gain the trust of the wealthy men of Jiangdong, and take this opportunity to improve the relationship between the Sun family and the wealthy men of Jiangdong, ease the contradictions between the two sides, and stabilize the situation in Jiangdong as soon as possible.
Zhou Yu stayed in Moling as a general of Jianwei Zhonglang, and shared Jiangdong affairs with Shi Zhangzhao, the head of the general's mansion.
There are too many problems in front of Zhou Yu at this moment. The first priority is to give Sun Quan a legal identity.
If Sun Quan can't get the legal identity of being in charge of Jiangdong for a long time, something will inevitably happen to Jiangdong, and even the Sun family may fight hard.
After Sun Ce was seriously injured, he obviously considered this problem, so he asked Sun Ben to rush to Hebei as quickly as possible.
When Sun Jian went north to crusade against Dong Zhuo, Sun Ben followed the campaign and had friendships with many generals in Hebei.
In this Central Plains War, the Jiangdong Army participated in the coalition army, so it was difficult to rebuild the old friendship with Li Hong in Hebei.
In order to ensure the success of the peace talks, Sun Ben could only be sent north, and at present, he is the only one in Jiangdong who is qualified to lobby for this.
Originally, there was a more suitable candidate, that is, Zhu Zhi, but Zhu Zhi, Sun Fu and Lu Su were wiped out in the Central Plains War, and his life and death are still uncertain.
The most important reason why Sun Ce wanted to switch to Hebei was to use Hebei's force to drag Cao Cao in Xuzhou in order to protect Jiangdong, but Zhou Yu, Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong and others thought that Sun Ce's method was a big trick.
Sun Ce's captive general, Zhou Yu's Jianwei Zhonglang general, and the Taishou of Jiangdong counties were all worshiped by the Son of Heaven of the Nanyang Imperial Court (the earliest Son of Heaven was in Changyi, Yanzhou, and now in Nanyang, he should be called the Son of Heaven of the Nanyang Imperial Court), and Jiangdong has always respected this Son of Heaven.
Once the course changes, it is very likely that Jiangdong will rebel one after another. Now, except for the dead Sun Ce, including Sun Quan, they all think that in the current situation, switching to Hebei and betraying the Son of Heaven of the Nanyang Imperial Court is equivalent to giving Cao Cao and Liu Biao an excuse to attack Jiangdong.
This is a big mistake. Zhou Yu made a decision immediately, and sent a messenger to Nanyang in a hurry to ask for an official position for Sun Quan.
"If Boyang (Sun Ben) and Hebei negotiate peace, and the Son of Heaven of the Jinyang Imperial Court also worships an official position, how is it good?" Zhang Zhao asked.
"Just take it." Zhou Yu said indifferently,
"Now that Jiangdong is in danger, stepping on two boats is the safest way. If Cao Cao and Liu Biao attack us, we will surrender to Hebei and ask Hebei to send troops to attack Xuzhou. If Hebei threatens the survival of Jiangdong, Cao Cao and Liu Biao will definitely negotiate peace with us, so we will help them fight Hebei, take the opportunity to consume the strength of Cao Cao and Liu Biao, and then look for opportunities to attack Jiangbei and Jingzhou to expand Jiangdong's strength. Zhou Yu's suggestion was approved by everyone, but Zhou Yu's proposal on the localization of Jiangdong officials was strongly opposed by Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, Qin Song and others.
In order to quickly stabilize, restore and develop the four counties of Jiangdong, Zhou Yu suggested that Sun Quan appease the wealthy men in Jiangdong and rely on the Jiangdong scholars to govern Jiangdong, which he believed was the simplest, quickest, and most effective way to solve the current crisis in Jiangdong.
Although Sun Ce has killed the rich men of Jiangdong in the past few years, some influential gate valve clans with the largest power and the most extensive foundation in Jiangdong have not been killed.
For example, the four great families of Wucheng in Wu County, Zhu, Lu, Gu, and Zhang. The Zhu family has Zhu Huan, the Lu family has Lu Ji, the Gu family has Gu Yong, and the Zhang family has Zhang Yun.
These four great families are all in one city, and they are famous in Jiangdong. Huiji County also has four major families, Yu, Wei, Luo, and He.
The Yu family has Yu Translation, the Wei family has Wei Teng, the Luo family has Luo Tong, and the He family has He Qi. At present, except for Yu Fu and Wei Teng, almost no one in these families has been established in the General's Mansion, which is obviously very detrimental to the stability and governance of Jiangdong.
At present, the officials in the Jiangdong Prefecture mainly come from three places. One is the Liuyu scholars, such as Zhang Zhao from Pengcheng in Xuzhou, Zhang Hong from Guangling in Xuzhou, and Lu Fan from Runan, this kind of scholar has the most, and most of them occupy a prominent position in the Jiangdong Prefectures.
One is the scholars in the Huaishui area, such as Zhou Yu in Shucheng and Lu Su in Linhuai, this kind of scholars are mainly concentrated under Zhou Yu, and there are not many in Sun Ce's mansion.
The second is the local scholars in Jiangdong, and there are many scholars in the provinces at present, but they are mainly the Sun clan and relatives, and there are very few scholars like Yu Chuan who were born in the Jiangdong gate lord family.
Zhou Yu's proposal touched the interests of the Liuyu scholars, and it was understandable that it was fiercely opposed.
Sun Quan didn't dare to make up his mind without authorization, so he went to consult Mrs. Sun. Mrs. Sun supported Zhou Yu's proposal, and he said to Sun Quan, your brother has repeatedly warned you to trust Gong Jin, why did you forget it in a blink of an eye?
You go and invite Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong, and I'll talk to them. Jump to
