At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

At the same time, the Wuyue War between Sun Ce and Liu Yao also came to an end.

Several months of fierce fighting were interspersed with Sun Ce asking his cousin Xu Kun to lead an army back to aid Zhou Yu to quell the rebellion, which made Liu Yao last for a while. , Liu Yao still couldn't bear it.

The Vietnamese army was defeated, the Wu army was victorious, Yuhan County was captured, and Nanchang City was not defended. Liu Yao was defeated and fled all the way south with not much strength left.

He fled to Xingan County and Shiyang County successively, but he failed to hold on. Sun Ce led his troops to pursue and beat him fiercely, without leaving any way for him to survive.

Liu Yao had no choice but to turn west, fled to Pingdu County, and entered Ancheng County in Jingzhou, trying to seek Liu Biao's asylum.

As a result, who would have thought that Sun Ce would cross the border and chase into Jingzhou, besieging Ancheng County, and Liu Yao was so angry that he vomited blood.

Liu Yao was originally in poor health. He lived in turmoil for a long time and could not get rest, so he died soon.

After Liu Yao's death, Fan Neng, the last general in the army, was so disillusioned that he took Liu Yao's body and hundreds of remnants out of the city and surrendered to Sun Ce.

Sun Ce was satisfied when he saw Liu Yao's body, so he withdrew his troops, left Jingzhou, and continued to attack other counties in Yuzhang County.

Less than a year after the establishment of the Yue Kingdom, it was destroyed by Wu Gong and Sun Ce. It is a tragic kingdom. It was destroyed by Sun Ce before the inheritance was even settled.

If we say that this is the troubled times of the Warring States Period, the process of this troubled times is really too fast.

Sun Ce, a stunned young man, doesn't talk about politics at all, he is completely reckless, but he really gave him a world of recklessness.

The experienced Liu Yao was killed by him in this way.

But despite this, there are still many people who disobey Sun Ce's rule. None of the gentry with the four surnames of Wu, Danyang County and Yuzhang County in Kuaiji County are willing to obey Sun Ce.

Except for a small number of tyrants who were frightened by him, most Jiangdong people still opposed him and did not recognize the rule of the Duke of Wu established by him.

Before, when Sun Ce and Liu Yao fought fiercely, more than a dozen local tyrants from Danyang County united against Sun Ce's feudalism and statehood, and attacked Wu County, causing Zhou Yu to be devastated.

It took a lot of effort to put down the rebellion, and now Liu Yao has been eliminated, and his prestige has been established. It seems that the situation is good, but it is not.

Sun Ce was too stubborn, didn't know the art of compromise, and lacked gentle means. He tried his best to suppress Jiangdong people, which made Jiangdong people's perception of him extremely bad. Jiangdong scholars were unwilling to become an official and did not help him.

If I can't beat you, I won't cooperate with you. What's the matter, can you still force me?

There is really no way to force this matter, so Zhou Yu is also very helpless in the face of the shortage of talents.

So Sun Ce looked around and found that he could only invite scholars from Jiangbei to Jiangdong to help Sun Ce.

For the time being, military management can be used to control the place, but in the long run, these generals who only know how to fight but can't govern can't manage the place well. If they want to govern the place, they must have the children of the gentry with professional knowledge.

That's fine, if Jiangdong people don't help, we will ask Jiangbei people to help.

Which Jiangbei people should I ask for help?

Sun Ce discussed with Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu looked at Sun Ce a little depressed, and then told him that Jiangbei is either Tao Qian's territory or Guo Peng's territory, where to recruit talents?

Sun Ce blinked his eyes, and then looked expectantly at Zhou Yu, whom he worshiped as a former general of Wu.

"Gongjin, why don't you write a few letters to your friends and invite them to Jiangdong to serve as officials?"

Looking at Sun Ce's expectation, Zhou Yu couldn't shirk it, so he thought of the friends he had made with his family and himself in the past, and tried to write a letter to ask if they would like to come to Wu to serve as an official.

Zhou Yu had never experienced this feeling of being isolated and excluded before, but now he understood that the Sun regime might not have a good foothold in Jiangdong.

Forget about people from Jiangbei and Xuzhou. People from other states are all under the rule of Guo Peng. With such a powerful Guo Peng as a choice, will they come to Jiangdong?

Jiangbei is about to be unified, there will be no more divisions, and there will be no more chaos. Without these prerequisites, how could Jiangbei scholars rashly go south?

As a result, as soon as the letter was sent out, rebels appeared in Yuzhang County and Kuaiji County to resist Sun Ce's rule and refused to recognize Sun Ce's rule of Jiangdong as Wu Gong.

Sun Ce had no choice but to continue to invest in the vigorous anti-insurgency war, vowing to suppress the resistance of the Jiangdong gentry and powerful, completely subdue them, and let them obediently be his servants.

Needless to say, he quite enjoyed it.

Fighting on the battlefield is much better than playing politics.

However, it would be great if all political problems could be completely resolved by means of war.

Zhou Yu was a little confused about this, but he couldn't stop Sun Ce, and he didn't know whether he should stop Sun Ce, let alone what consequences he would have if he rashly stopped Sun Ce.

He vaguely knew the reason, but he knew more clearly that the word compromise was not something Sun Ce could easily do.

Sun Ce was unwilling to compromise, and Liu Biao was naturally unwilling, especially when he was unable to achieve his wish to establish the Kingdom of Chu, Liu Biao was very angry.

Then suddenly I heard that Sun Ce crossed the border to attack Liu Yao, and besieged Ancheng County in Jingzhou, causing the death of the people in Ancheng County, and then left in a big way.

Liu Biao was about to explode.

"Little Sun Ce! Huangkou Lizi! What qualifications does he have to pretend to be Duke Wu? He even killed the clan, does he still have the Han family in his eyes?! It's all like this, do you want me to continue to endure it?!"

Liu kicked the case table in front of him with a red face.

Liu Biao got really angry, he had already decided that if this group of people didn't support him, he would forcefully order Liu Pan to attack Yuzhang County and fight Sun Ce well.

It doesn't matter if you lose the battle, the misfortune will be brought to the east, and Sun Ce will be lured to Jingzhou, so that Sun Ce can fight well with the gentry and powerful people in Jingzhou.

Don't you want to be safe?

I don't want you to be safe!

Liu Biao's desire for revenge will never disappear.

Chapter 506 Five hundred six I really feel unfair for the general

At this time, both Cai Mao and Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue realized that Liu Biao's patience had reached its limit.

If you continue to let him endure and keep him from venting, it is estimated that there will be big problems.

So afterwards, Cai Mao discussed with Kuai, let Liu Biao vent, let him relax, and continue to be tense like this. After all, Liu Biao is still Jingzhou Mu, isn't he?

Both Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue felt that what Cai Mao said made sense.

So Liu Biao was able to summon all the troops to Changsha, join Liu Pan's troops in Changsha, and Liu Pan personally commanded them to attack Yuzhang County eastward.

Sun Ce attacked the city of Jingzhou without saying hello, and regarded it as a declaration of war, so Liu Biao did not need to declare war on Sun Ce, and could attack Yuzhang County immediately.

Liu Pan immediately sent troops to attack Yuzhang County after receiving the order.

So the Wuyue War just ended, and the war between Wu State and Jingzhou started again.

I don't know how Sun Ce will feel after hearing the news.

Anyway, this has nothing to do with Tao Qian. Tao Qian's enemy has never been anyone else, but the centrifugal forces within Xuzhou.

He encountered great resistance in establishing the Duke of Xu.

However, relying on the suppression of the two armies, he still established Xu Gonguo. Even so, there were not many people who opposed him.

To this end, Tao Qian decided to strengthen the strength of the two armies to ensure his own security and power.

His large-scale military expansion expanded Cao Bao's army to 2, while Zang Ba's army was limited to 1.

Tao Qian held a mobile force of 3 people, deterred the powerful Xuzhou gentry, and made Xuzhou people dare not act rashly.

But the resistance of Xuzhou people is getting stronger and stronger.

They would never do the thing of raising a local emperor in a state, so, led by the Chen family, the resistance of Xuzhou people began.

Chen Deng sent someone to contact the Mi family quietly, and Mi Fang, who was in charge of Mi Zhu's stay in Xuzhou, was in charge of serving as the liaison between the Mi family and Mi Zhu, and sent this matter to Qingzhou to let Mi Zhu know, and then Mi Zhu would contact Guo Peng to guide the matter remotely. .

Before the crusade against Xianbei, Mi Zhu reported the matter to Guo Peng to know, but Guo Peng did not agree.

Because he wanted to attack Xianbei in the north, he didn't have time, so he asked Mrs. Chen to be patient for a while, and wait until he finished cleaning up the Xianbei people.

Now that the news of Guo Peng's victory came, Mrs. Chen was no longer willing to endure Tao Qian's harsh treatment, so she couldn't wait to resist.

Guo Peng understood the thoughts of the Chen family and the Xuzhou people, so he nodded and allowed the matter to proceed.

He decided not to act himself in this battle, but to entrust the task of the commander-in-chief to Yu Jin, General Zhendong. Since Jin was in charge of this battle, he asked Chen Gong to be his assistant, leading Gao Lan, Yan Liang, Zhu Ling, Jiang Qi and several others The general and [-] soldiers went south to Taishan County to join Yujin.

Yu Jin has always led troops to station in Taishan County, and the five thousand Taishan soldiers under his command have always been the mobile troops prepared by Guo Peng for Xuzhou to deter Xuzhou.

It has never come in handy before, but now, it finally comes in handy.

When Yu Jin learned that Guo Peng appointed him as the coach of the war to win Xuzhou, he was very excited and felt that he finally had the opportunity to show his ability.

So Yu Jin immediately mobilized his troops and arranged for his subordinates to make preparations. When Chen Gong and his team arrive, they can start to fight.

Because of the internal support of Xuzhou people, this battle does not require too many troops. Guo Peng mobilized [-] troops from Jizhou Camp to go south, and let [-] troops from Taishan County join them. A total of [-] troops are enough Get over this war.

Guo Peng knew very well that Tao Qian's enemies were not only himself, but also his own people.

Not all of the group of people he thinks are his own.

This is not the first time Chen Deng has come to drink with Zang Ba.

He really likes to drink with Zang Ba, because Zang Ba has a good capacity for alcohol, and the two of them can't stop drinking. The only pity is that Zang Ba doesn't eat fish sticks, because Zang Ba thinks that the raw food has a strong fishy smell. For him who could always smell blood, it was an unpleasant smell.

He chooses to eat cooked food, which must be fully cooked, otherwise he will not eat it.

So Zang Ba ate barbecue, and Chen Deng ate raw fish, and they both ate with gusto.

"Is it really okay to eat raw food? I really can't stand the fishy smell."

Zang Ba looked at the crystal clear fish slices in front of Chen Deng with some disgust.

"Hahahaha, don't you really want to try Xuan Gao? After you try it, you will be able to taste the most pure and delicious food itself. Compared with these baked things, it is completely incomparable."

Chen Deng obsessively picked up a piece of fish, put it in his mouth and tasted it slowly, as if he was eating some delicious delicacy.

Zang Ba felt a little nauseous.

"Yuanlong Yaxing, anyway, I, a vulgar person, can't understand it. I still like to eat cooked food, which is full of chewiness. Only when I eat, I can feel that I am really alive."

Zang Ba cut off a large piece of roasted wild boar, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it, enjoying it all over his face.

There was a gleam in Chen Deng's eyes.

"I heard that our Duke Xu has added more troops to Cao Bao. Cao Bao's Danyang camp has about 1 troops, and Xuan Gao's Taishan soldiers seem to be in the early [-]s?"

Chen Deng said such words seemingly indifferently.

Zang Ba was stretching out his chopsticks to pick up the meat, but his movements froze when he heard this, and then he put the roast meat into the bowl as if nothing had happened, and ate it in one bite.

"I know this matter. General Cao is a fellow villager of Mr. Xu, and I... am from Yanzhou. Isn't this justifiable?"

"That said."

Chen Deng said with a smile: "The general has made no less contributions to Xu Gong than Cao Bao. Why does Xu Gong treat Cao Bao so favorably and treat the general so harshly?"

Zang Ba raised his head and looked at Chen Deng with a sharp gaze.

"Will Yuanlong also say such a thing?"

"It's not that I am willing to say such a thing, but that I really feel unfair for the general."

Chen Deng shook his head, and said: "The general is loyal to Xu Gong, but Xu Gong can't trust the general. Whoever it is, will feel unfair for the general."

"Chen Yuanlong."

Zang Ba looked at Chen Deng calmly: "You said this for Guo Zifeng, right? You have already joined Guo Zifeng? What position does Guo Zifeng promise you?"

"Inspector of Xuzhou."

Chen Deng didn't hide it: "Wei Gong promised me to be the governor of Xuzhou, and I will govern Xuzhou for Wei Gong."

"What about me? Since you are here as a lobbyist for Guo Zifeng, what position will I take?"

Zang Ba's face remained calm.

"Duke Wei promised to use the general as the prefect of Guangling, the county marquis of Huaxian County, and the general of Wei Guoping Nan to garrison Guangling. In the future, he will use the general to cross the river and attack Jiangdong."

"Tao Gongzu used me as General Xu Guozuo, which is a heavy general. Guo Zifeng asked me to be General Wei Guoping Nan, a miscellaneous general. Would I surrender?"

Zang Ba smiled.

Chapter 507 five hundred seven

Chen Deng didn't pay attention to this kind of problem.

Because he knows very well that this kind of problem cannot be regarded as a problem at all.
