In one day, Xiangping City changed hands.
When it was dawn, the noise in the city gradually stopped. Sun Quan stepped straight into the Liaodong Hou Mansion, not entering the main hall first.
He stood in front of the steps of the main hall, held Gongsun Gong's arm, and asked him to recognize Gongsun Yuan's body first.
Gongsun Yuan died of a sharp blade, covered in blood, his face was twisted, which was very horrifying. Gongsun Gong tried his best to lift his spirits, looked at it, and sighed softly, "Yes, this is Wen Yi. Wen Yi is a strong and powerful person, and he should have been my Gongsun..."
Before he could finish speaking, Sun Quan waved his hand: "Drag the body out and behead him and his family and children, all beheaded."
Dozens of soldiers roared in unison: "Yes!"
Gongsun Gong was trembling all over and wanted to say something. Sun Quan asked Jiang Qin again: "Have you dealt with the unsubmissive people in the city?"
Jiang Qin was the old general who followed Sun Ce to Jiangdong in his early years. He was very experienced among the generals of Jiangdong today, second only to Han Dang. In recent years, he was in poor health, so Sun Quan took him as his guard and led the lawsuit. This time, Jiangdong made every effort to go to Liaodong. Jiang Qin knew that this was a critical moment that was related to life and death, so he followed him with illness.
After hearing Sun Quan's interrogation, Jiang Qin went out and said, "I have reported to the Marquis of Wu that those who refuse to surrender are Du Bo, Qu Chief, and civil and military officials under the Marquis of Liaodong. I personally supervised the beheadings; all the soldiers and minor officials below Qu Chief were beheaded."
"Yes." Sun Quan nodded with satisfaction and asked again: "How many people have been killed?"
"Not counting the results of the fight when entering the city, after entering the city, they searched the Du Bo, Qu Chief and above and civil and military officials, and there were 43 people. There were 1,259 ordinary soldiers below Qu Chief. All 1,302 heads were hung on the top of the city, and their bodies were abandoned in the wilderness outside the city. In addition, General Pan Zhang came to report that he intercepted more than 200 people from the East Hu tribes in the city who tried to escape, half of whom were rude and nonsense, and he killed them directly to intimidate the rest."
"Okay, okay, very good." Sun Quan smiled with his hands.
He turned and asked again: "Since all those who are dissatisfied have been dealt with, what about those who are subdued? Huishu, how have you placed them?"
Zhang Wen, the general of the auxiliary rank of the Central Army, flashed out: "Report to the general, the people who surrendered in the city, including General Wang Jian, Han Qi, the commander of the city gate, Guo Xin and Sima Bi Sheng, they have summoned the city officials and more than 2,000 soldiers. Together with the commander Sushu, who had previously assisted our army, were coming to the Liaodong Marquis' Mansion and begging to pay homage to the general."
"Since that's the case..." Sun Quan smiled and said, "General Gongsun, you and I will meet them together, show that everything is settled, and then reward these loyal ministers and patriots with thick rewards, do you think?"
Gongsun Gong refused to answer.
Sun Quan frowned and asked again: "General Gongsun?"
When Gongsun Gong heard that Jiangdong Army had killed more than a thousand people directly, he was already trembling, as if he was unstable. When Sun Quan asked, his face pale and no blood was left: "Sun, General Sun, what did you say?"
"I said, how can you and I meet the loyal ministers and patriots in Xiangping City together?"
Gongsun Gong smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I dare not, I dare not."
Seeing that he was so scared that he was so scared that he was about to comfort him, he heard Gongsun Gong say, "General Sun, I heard that the climate in Jiangdong is gentler than that in Liaodong, right?"
“That’s natural.”
Gongsun Gong was silent for a long time and whispered: "General Sun, I have been sick and weak for a long time. I want to live in Jiangdong. I wonder if you can agree?"
Sun Quan laughed: "Of course it's good. Haha, General Gongsun, I will send someone to build a mansion for you so that you can live in Jiangdong comfortably..."
Gongsun Gong interrupted Sun Quan: "I want to leave today."
"What?"
Gongsun Gong tried his best to face Sun Quan and took a deep breath: "I feel relieved when Sun Che is riding in Liaodong. I am not hesitant and need rest urgently, so I want to leave today. Well, take my wife and family to Jiangdong."
Sun Quan quickly exchanged eyes with his subordinates, and then laughed: "Whether or not, General Gongsun's health is important."
He pointed to a general and a close servant beside him: "General Gongsun, this is my subordinate Yangwei General Sun Huan, and this is my servant leader Gu Li. I asked them to arrange a trip to Jiangdong and ensure their safety... Do you think this is good?"
"very good."
"Then take General Gongsun down!" Sun Quan waved his hand and signaled.
Sun Huan pressed his waist knife and stood beside Gongsun Gong. Gu Li said politely: "Please General Gongsun."
Gongsun Gong looked idly. As the two left, he never looked back at his extremely familiar convention hall.
Sun Quan stood in front of the main hall and watched Gongsun Gong's figure disappear behind a corridor. He heard a chirping in the air, breaking the silence of the morning. Looking calm, it turned out to be a big bird building a nest in a big tree in the courtyard, flapping its wings and flying straight into the clouds.
Sun Quan turned around and went into the hall.
The old saying goes, those who steal the hook will be punished, and those who steal the country will be princes. Now that the plot of a reversal has ended, the one who wins the victory must be a prepared hero. Even if the troubled times come to an end, they will never tolerate a polite, weak and incompetent leader!
Sun Quan tried his best to maintain a calm attitude. In fact, when he turned his back to the generals, he could not suppress the ecstasy expression on his face. He suppressed his voice and said in a deep voice: "Those who are waiting outside, let them come in! Let them meet the new master of Liaodong!"
The generals bowed together and said, "As for your order!"
After ten months, Jiangdong's successor fleet continued to cross the sea and arrived in Liaokou and Dajin one after another.
The soldiers and horses in Jiangdong had the largest stronghold of Xiangping City, and then they divided into multiple groups to attack Liaoyang, Pingguo, Anshi, Xinchang and other places.
Since there is the precedent of Xiangping City, the plots staged in Xiangping City will also be staged in other places one by one. It is nothing more than surrender under the banner of Gongsun Gong, and then using the inside line in the city to give generous gifts of gold and silk to buy the guards. If they are not successful, they will attack again.
Wherever you go, the momentum is like a broken bamboo. By the end of the month, all counties in Liaodong will be peaceful.
Jiangdong prohibited the plunder of soldiers, and appointed county magistrates from various places, dozens of heads, and dispatched pavilions and other grassroots officials to capture thieves and other grassroots officials to be distributed in various places to directly lead local government affairs. So the people were all in a state of peace, as if they had not known that they had changed a new lord.
The Gongsun clan was dominated by Liaodong for decades, with tens of thousands of armored soldiers and hundreds of thousands of civilians, overthrowing the prosperous country in the east of the sea, and countless powerful clans were unknown. In terms of strength on paper, the Gongsun clan was not bad at all compared to the Jiangdong Sun clan, which was half a remote place in Yangzhou. However, Jiangdong suddenly raised an army and swallowed it, and within ten months it swept the territory thousands of miles away and replaced it. Why is this?
After decades of turmoil, heroes in the world have emerged. How many forces have been striving to seize the power of the country in troubled times and become heroes in one side. If these people can succeed for a while, they are not mediocre. The civil and military officials under their command may have extraordinary courage or extraordinary wisdom. However, once they try to compete for the competition, the power of most people will suddenly disappear. Why is this so?
By looking at the three families of Cao, Liu and Sun, you can know the reason.
A powerful leader like Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan, even if his power is still weak, he attaches importance to clarifying the system and rules, and according to the law to establish a shogunate. For example, Xun Yu made special contributions to Cao Cao, Zhuge Liang made Liu Bei, and the two Zhangs made Sun Quan in this regard.
Because the system is perfect and the system is clear, it is possible to win the wisdom and strength of all the world, so that those who hold this position are called this talent, which is suitable for the top and bottom. Because the system is perfect and the system is clear, the broader the territory, the deeper the control over the local area, the greater the power to mobilize, and the stronger the centripetal force of the Chinese military subordinates of the regime.
Among the three families, the Jiangdong regime has always been loose. This is because the Jiangdong scholars were too powerful in their local power and vaguely confronted the center. But even the loose Jiangdong regime was once one of the world's major players, and it was to allocate the power of the shogunate according to the cause of the emperor! Its complete system and orders to command the army of strictness, even if it was not as good as that of the monkey-winning Gongsun clan, which was the best in the monkey, was still ten times more powerful than the Liaodong Gongsun clan!
Although the Sun family and Cao and Liu had suffered several setbacks before, Sun Quan always exhausted the manpower and material resources of the four counties in Jiangdong to maintain a huge and sophisticated military and political system.
He endured humiliation for several years just to wait for an opportunity.
