The Shi family almost monopolized the entire Jiaozhou, and the most important thing is that the Shi family has an excellent reputation in Jiaozhou, a very high reputation, and a wide range of contacts, even if Sun Quan wants to conquer Jiaozhou by force, he may not be able to completely own Jiaozhou.

In Sun Quan's view, if you want to own Jiaozhou, it is obviously not feasible to seize it by force, and the Shi family is deeply rooted in Jiaozhou, and it is simply wishful thinking to uproot it.

For a while, Sun Quan was in trouble, and he didn't know how to act, as if he had reached this place, and it had become a stalemate.

Sun Quan worked hard to bring the army to Jiaozhou, who would have thought that he would encounter such a situation, and now he is not retreating, nor is he attacking, and he is completely in a dilemma.

"Gong Jin, Gong Jin, if I knew that Jiaozhou was like this, I would definitely not lead the army to come easily, and now I am in a dilemma, you can make me miserable." Sun Quan sighed heavily, frowned, and said to himself.

Just when Sun Quan was at a loss, Zhu Huan quietly came to Sun Quan's side, holding a bag in his hand and offering it directly to Sun Quan.

Sun Quan glanced at it and asked, "What is this?" ”

Zhu Huan said: "Before the last general left for Chaisang, the governor of the capital personally handed it over to the last general, saying that he would wait until he arrived in Jiaozhou, and then hand it over to the lord, which could help the lord take the entire Jiaozhou." ”

"Why didn't you take it out sooner?" Sun Quan complained about Zhu Huan while opening the bag, only to see a letter stuffed inside.

Sun Quan hurriedly read the letter, and when he read it, he smiled and said, "Gong Jin's clever plan, it's really amazing!" ”

It was Zhou Yu who suggested that Sun Quan attack Jiaozhou. Zhou Yu has coveted Jiaozhou for a long time. When Sun Ce was alive. He once suggested to Sun Ce a plan to attack Jiaozhou. However, at that time, Jiangdong was in the double crisis of a fierce war with Shanyue and an economic blockade, so Sun Ce had no intention of taking care of anything else, and this plan was temporarily shelved.

After Sun Ce's death, Sun Quan fought a beautiful self-defense counterattack with the help of Zhou Yu, won the battle, and also killed Chen Deng, to a certain extent. laid the foundation of Sun Quan's prestige in the hearts of the soldiers. After that, although Zhang Yan has not taken any action against Jiangdong, but Jiangdong is a small area, and it is caught in the threat of Liu Biao and Zhang Yan, and during the economic crisis, the loss of Jiangdong people is serious, and if Jiangdong does not open up its territory and expand its jurisdiction, Jiangdong is likely to gradually perish.

Under such a premise, Zhou Yu proposed to Sun Quan a plan to attack Jiaozhou. Prepare to use Jiaozhou as the rear base of Jiangdong.

Of course, Zhou Yu wanted to attack Jiaozhou. It's not overnight, and I also have a more comprehensive understanding of Jiaozhou, and I know that the prestige and super popularity of the Taoist Xie family in Jiaozhou can't be conquered by force. But Zhou Yu did not explain all this to Sun Quan, but simply said that Jiaozhou has many people and few troops, and it is not the opponent of the Jiangdong Army at all, and Jiaozhou can be easily taken.

The reason why Zhou Yu deliberately said this, and did not tell Sun Quan the real truth, was because he was worried that Sun Quan did not have the courage to break the boat, so he could only deceive Sun Quan to Jiaozhou now, and then explain the specific situation to him in detail, and Zhou Yu had also made a series of plans, so that Sun Quan could easily control Jiaozhou.

Sun Quan combined Zhou Yu's clever plan, and immediately acted according to Zhou Yu's plan.

Zhou Yu said in the letter that although the Shixie family was extremely prosperous in Jiaozhou, and the brothers and nephews of the clan all served as the county guards and held important positions, not all the people of the family could be as generous and powerful as Shixie, and the Shixie clan became law-abiding under the constraints of Shixie, and there was no phenomenon of bullying men and women, let alone oppressing the people.

However, no one is perfect, no gold is barefoot, as long as the character and preferences of the scholar family are secretly collected, they can do what they like, and skillfully set up a clever game, introduce the people of the scholar family into a good bureau, and then add fuel to the fire, so that the nature of the scholar family is exposed, and those illegal things are done. In this way, they can seize the handle of the Shi family, threaten the Shi family, and force them to comply. If the people of the Shi family are unwilling to comply, then these things will be infinitely magnified, and the reputation of the Shi family in Jiaozhou will inevitably affect the prestige of the Shi family in Jiaozhou and the image of the people in the minds of the people.

And Zhou Yu clearly told Sun Quan in the letter that he should not think about time, stay in Jiaozhou for as long as he wanted, and he must take Jiaozhou at all costs. However, to understand the combination of grace and power, when necessary, you can go to meet with Shixie in person, because to take Jiaozhou, you still have to rely on the people of the Shi family, after all, the Shi family has been in Jiaozhou for many years, and it is not something that can be uprooted overnight.

Sun Quan completely followed Zhou Yu's strategy, summoned Han Dang, Huang Gai, Zhu Huan, Pan Zhang, Tan Xiong, Ling Cao, Zhu Ran and other generals, and after some orders, several generals each led a small team of people to secretly infiltrate the seven counties of Jiaozhou, and began to secretly collect the habits of everyone in the Shi family except Shi Xie.

For Sun Quan, this is a long-term plan, which will waste at least a month, and possibly even longer. Sun Quan was seated in Longchuan County, and the Longchuan County Commander had also made it clear that he would surrender to Sun Quan, and told Sun Quan all the information he knew about the Shi family.

There are four brothers in Shixie, Shixie is the eldest son and grandson of the family, and the other three younger brothers are Hepu Taishou Shiyi, Jiuzhen Taishou Shiyi, and Nanhai Taishou Shiwu, among them, Shiyi and Shixie are close in age, because they are influenced by Shixie, so Shiyi's personality and temperament are also similar to Shixie. The third brother is a person with a weak personality, although he has a bachelor's degree, but he is timid and afraid.

In terms of personality, the biggest difference with Shixie is Shiwu, Shiwu is as his name suggests, his personality is violent and abnormal, and Shixie is a half-brother, and he is almost a dozen years younger than Shixie, and he is born with a penchant for dancing with guns and sticks, and he is also famous for his courage and ruthlessness.

Shi Wutian is not afraid of the ground, but he doesn't know what the reason is, Shi Wu is only afraid of his eldest brother Shi Xie, and he is very jealous of him, what Shi Xie said, he can only do it. So even if Shiwu's personality is violent, under Shixie's restraint and discipline, he also behaves in a decent manner, at least there has been no big mistake.

Among Shixie's three sons, the eldest son Shiyi is lustful, and the second son Shihui is a gambler, but only the third son Shigan has a higher character and has the style of his father's legacy.

Sun Quan had a certain understanding of the people of the Shi family, so he began to think about how to lay it out, find out the handle of the Shi family, and then force him to comply.

Half a month later, the rest of the generals sent their own people back to report to Sun Quan the situation of the taxi family under surveillance.

Shiwu is brave and ruthless, Shiyuan is lustful, and Shihui is good at gambling, which is basically the same as what the Longchuan County Order says. Therefore, Sun Quan decided to remove the people who were monitoring Shiyi, Shiyu, and Shigan, and strengthen them to Shiwu, Shiyuan, and Shihui, and focus on finding a breakthrough point from these three people.

After that, Sun Quan's subordinates closely monitored Shiwu, Shiyuan, and Shihui, and at the same time, Sun Quan also figured out how to deal with these three people.

Sun Quan's first person to attack was Shiwu, Shiwu was the Taishou of the South China Sea, and his governance was located in Panyu City, which was close to Longchuan City, and Sun Quan also came to command in person.

After Sun Quan arrived in Panyu City, he used a lot of money to buy off a family member in the Taishou Mansion, and asked this family member to report to him, wanting to know the itinerary of Lu Taoist Shiwu.

In the afternoon of the same day, the family came to report and told Sun Quan that Shiwu was going to go out hunting tomorrow, and the location was chosen in the Fanshan Mountain outside Panyu City.

After Sun Quan got the news, according to the characteristics of Shiwu, he arranged for Han Dang and Huang Gai to pretend to be woodcutters and go to Fanshan first.

Early the next morning, Shiwu rode a war horse alone and left Panyu City with a bow and arrow.

Panshan is in the south of Panyu City, Panyu has good public security, the people in the territory live and work in peace and contentment, and there are no thieves, so Shiwu does not need to consider the problem of safety at all. In addition, the warrior is brave and fierce, and he is confident that his strength is high, so he is not afraid of someone assassinating him at all.

Because of this, Shiwu would choose a person to go out hunting, and his subordinates would not dare to disobey, otherwise, they would be severely punished.

Shiwu rode a war horse and soon came to the foot of Fanshan, and then rode his horse to climb and walk on the road up the mountain.

This mountain Taoist warrior has walked more than a thousand times, and he is also very familiar with Fanshan, and even knows every grass and tree in the mountain well.

And for the sake of beauty, Shiwu let people plant a lot of kapok on the mountain for viewing, every year from March to April, when the kapok blooms, the mountain is purple and red, it is beautiful in a flash, it is simply a sea of flowers.

It's a pity that it's the October season, and the kapok on Fanshan is not open, and it lacks a sense of beauty.

This season, it is almost cold in the north, but because Panyu City is located in the south, the temperature is high, and the weather at this time is still like early summer.

Shiwu walked aimlessly on the road up the mountain, his eyes searched everywhere for the prey in the mountain, over the years, the birds and beasts in the mountain were almost killed by him, so every year Shiwu would capture some beasts from other places and keep them in captivity in the mountain, so that in the autumn, you can hunt.

Shiwu had a base on the mountain dedicated to raising wild beasts, and at this time, he was going to go to that base and then let the beasts be released for him to play.

When he walked halfway up the mountain, Shiwu suddenly heard a fight, he hurriedly reined in his horse, stopped to listen, and walked in the direction from which the sound came, and walked less than a hundred meters into the woods, and saw an open place, two woodcutters dressed as people were holding sharp blades in a duel, and the fight was difficult to solve, every move and style were extremely rare, in his opinion, these two people were masters in the world.
