The Three Kingdoms

However, Sun Quan, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, the core members, will leave Liaodong and return to Jiangdong in a maximum of two months. This piece of territory they have spent countless efforts on single-handedly won is also the base for capturing Youzhou in the future. There is absolutely nothing to lose.

There is not much time left for them, that's why they are so anxious, trying every means to stabilize and settle down in Liaodong.

The environment in Liaodong is no different from that in Jiangdong. It is very complicated, with internal and external troubles.

Now the Jiangdong army has only been stationed here for less than a month, and has no influence. Although Gongsun Du is considered to cooperate with the transfer of power, there are still many internal problems.

The most important thing is that a large number of positions are vacant. Sun Ce quickly took down many officials with the momentum of thunder, eliminating the hidden danger of Gongsun Du, but this also left a big gap in the management of Liaodong today.

Of course, it is not difficult to fill this gap. After all, they have Jiang Dong's support behind them. With Jiang Dong's background, there is no pressure to fill the positions of these officials.

And their current foreign aggression is the foreign tribes. Around Liaodong, they are adjacent to countless foreign tribes. Among them, Goguryeo and Karasuma are the biggest hidden dangers, and there are many other scattered small tribes.

However, Gongsun Du can be regarded as a strong prince, who has been suppressed a lot in recent years, and there has been a period of calm recently.

Sun Quan's worry is that now that Gongsun Du is not around, Gongsun Du's influence will naturally be gone. I am afraid that these foreign races will have thoughts. Once these foreign races are ready to move, they have not yet integrated internally, and there will naturally be big problems .

People who are not of our race must have a different heart. If you want them to submit, you have to conquer them personally. However, it is not suitable to raise troops in Liaodong now.

The area of ​​Liaodong is neither big nor small.

This piece of black mountains and white waters is indeed vast and boundless, with no end to the north or east. Liaodong County, Lelang County, Xuantu County, plus Liaodong Shu Kingdom, the four counties constitute the northeast border of the Han Dynasty, but the population But it is pitifully small, the land is large and the population is sparse, showing a desolate state.

When Gongsun Du was in charge of Liaodong, although he claimed to have a population of one million, Sun Quan and others checked the files these days, and when they were carefully added up, it was only in the early 80s, which is not as good as a Wu County in Jiangdong.

The population is too small, and the distribution is very scattered, it is difficult to develop.

"Now that Gongsun Du is not here, our first point is to defend Liaodong. If we want to defend Liaodong, we must have enough troops!"

"I grew up in Liaodong, and I am somewhat familiar with Liaodong. Liaodong is surrounded by enemies except for the border areas near the coast. There are too many Mahan people, Goguryeo people, Buyeo people, Karasuma people, and Xianbei people. "

"Gongsundu fought against Goguryeo last year, and he was afraid of Goguryeo. In three to five years, Goguryeo dared not visit. Now the biggest enemy is Karasuma."

"The Karasuma tribe is a major problem that has been difficult to solve in Liaodong. It is entrenched in the east, west and north of Liaodong, and there are many Xianbei tribes among them."

"Actually, there seem to be quite a few remnants of Liu Yu in Liaoxi and Yuyang, which are adjacent to the Liaodong vassal state. They may not have no plans for Liaodong, and this must be guarded against."

"The most important thing now is to fix the captains of the counties, otherwise the hearts of the soldiers will not be settled!"

"The hearts of the people below are still a little turbulent. I think that in terms of policy, it is still important to stabilize Liaodong."

The atmosphere in the lobby was strong. The two brothers, Sun Quan and Sun Ce, took the lead, and everyone below let go, expressing their opinions and expressing their understanding and thoughts on Liaodong.

This is also a benign discussion meeting that Sun Quan wants to see. Only by brainstorming can the most perfect strategic plan be come up with.

"Brother Gongjin, how many Liaodong troops have we recruited since Gongsundu surrendered?" During the round of discussion, Sun Quan stared at the sand table, then suddenly turned his head, looked at Zhou Yu, and asked in a low voice.

"In total, there are a little more than 8, and it is still being reorganized. These are Gongsun Zan's troops. If you want to use them, you have to disperse them or transfer them away from Liaodong."

Zhou Yu's eyes moved slightly, and he said softly: "Among these soldiers and horses, half of them are cavalry. In Liaodong, there is no shortage of war horses."

The total strength of Liaodong is about [-]. Although this battle was thunderous, it started very quickly and ended very quickly. It was just a defense and an assault, and it was won, but wars are always wars, and there are still casualties. There were tens of thousands of casualties.

Except for the [-] troops stationed in Lelang, the remaining soldiers of Liaodong County were all concentrated in Liaodong County. Gongsun Kang and Gongsunyu came out to save Gongsundu.

Xuantu and Liaodong vassal states are obviously empty, so they must be allocated quickly, so that the Liaodong vassal state and Xuantu county cannot remain empty.

"Eighty thousand? Gongsun Du's military strength is quite a lot. We have to strip [-] of this part of the military strength to the navy. Also, the [-] Jiujiang Army we borrowed from our family will continue to guard Liaodong now, but I have to pay back [-] soldiers and horses to my family. The campaign in Liaodong cost so much money and energy. It’s time to give some results. How about sending [-] cavalry to my family?” Sun Quan squinted his small eyes and asked road.

Among the troops in Jiangdong, what is lacking is cavalry. There are [-] cavalry. Whether it is fighting Jingzhou or Dajiaozhou, there is an absolute guarantee of mobility.

"That's a good idea!"

Zhou Yu and Sun Ce looked at each other, and after a moment of pondering, Sun Ce nodded and made a decision.

"However, the remaining troops are relatively small, not enough to suppress the stability of Liaodong." Zhou Yu frowned. Now that Liaodong is surrounded by enemies, this army is a bit empty.

"Not necessarily. Even if we remove the side, there will still be [-] troops left, plus [-] Jiujiang Army. At that time, we can still recruit tens of thousands of young and strong, and train them. There will be almost [-] to [-] soldiers. Ma, as long as there is no major battle and Liaodong is stabilized, it can still be done.”

Sun Quan pondered for a while, and said softly.

"It's a bit early to talk about this now. The biggest problem at present is who father will send to guard Liaodong. The governor of Pingzhou has not arrived for a day, so it is useless for us to say anything." Sun Ce sighed and said.

They arranged all this, after all, to pave the way for the upcoming governor of Pingzhou, but if the governor of Pingzhou is a tough person, they may not accept all their suggestions.

"That's right, now we have to do a good job in the transition and quickly stabilize Liaodong. We still have to wait for the new governor of Pingzhou to formulate a new strategy."

Sun Quan nodded, with a hint of sadness in his eyes, and said: "But Xuantu and the Liaodong vassal state have become empty now, and there may be some accidents. If someone takes the opportunity to settle in, it will be troublesome!"

For Jiangdong, Liaodong is really regarded as guarding one side, so the candidate for the governor of Pingzhou must be an absolute loyal minister. Also, Liaodong is a place where four wars have been fought, and there must be someone who guards Liaodong. A certain ability to command troops and horses.

This candidate, even if it is Sun Jian, is not easy to choose.

"Well, tomorrow, I'll go to Xuantu!"

Sun Ce stood up, and said in a deep voice: "Before the new governor of Pingzhou and the governor of Xuantu County come, I will stabilize Xuantu, inspect Xuantu's frontier defense line, and organize the officials of Xuantu County. Let Xuantu settle down quickly, and don't let Goguryeo and the Xianbei people in the north of Xuantu take advantage of it."

"Let me go to the Liaodong vassal state. The situation here is more complicated. We and Youzhou are allies, but the remnants of Liu Yu who are still entrenched in Liaoxi still need to be deployed." Zhou Yu said softly.

"Then I'll take care of the house!"

In such a cold weather, Sun Quan didn't want to run around, so he stayed in Xiangping, which was more comfortable.

Everyone's discussion didn't dissipate until the evening. Except for the navy's policy, there was no finalized Liaodong strategy.

In the following time, the three people led by Sun Quan, Sun Ce, and Zhou Yu began to take the stabilization of Liaodong as the first goal, and promulgated various policies. In fact, it is not difficult to stabilize Liaodong. There is only one innate condition, food.

In Liaodong, where there is food, it can be stable, but for Jiangdong, there is really no shortage of food. Today's Jiangdong farms have made small achievements, and the food gap has already been made up early.

……

The next day, Sun Ce took the overlord's cavalry to Xuantu, Zhou Yu took the chariot to the Liaodong vassal state, and Le Lang had already been sorted out by Li Nie, a somewhat insidious man.

For the time being, the land in Liaodong has finally stabilized roughly.

But after all, a new person in power was replaced, one emperor and one courtier, and all the officials in Liaodong were swept away by Sun Ce's boldness, and there were always many turmoil.

Sun Quan was very busy every day. He kept meeting the local tycoons and merchants in Liaodong.

He was almost in a daze, but luckily he had a powerful person beside him, Li Nie, to assist him, otherwise he would not be able to handle the entire government affairs of Liaodong.

Li Nie was worthy of being Dong Zhuo's confidant back then. He was familiar with strategy and dealt with government affairs vigorously and resolutely. Liaodong's affairs were in his hands and everything was in order.

The days passed bit by bit, and the whole Liaodong began to gradually adapt to Jiangdong's power. Among them, opening warehouses to release grain, and rectifying the powerful... One policy after another showed Jiangdong's toughness and ability, and won a lot. people's hearts.

During this period of time, Sun Quan relied on the recruiting center to recruit not a few talents from Liaodong. Those who were suitable for Liaodong were directly sent to work after passing the assessment, and those who were capable but not suitable for Liaodong were directly sent back to Jiangdong by boat.

In the fifth year of Chuping, at the end of the first month, there was no news of the appointment of General Zhengdong's Mansion, and finally it was long overdue. The first governor of Pingzhou, Sun Jing.
