"The trees are tinkling, and the birds are chirping. They come from the deep valley and move to the trees." [Poetry·Xiaoya·Logging]
When Lu Fan learned that Meng was not good at fighting the battle, he immediately suggested that Sun Ce send Jiangdong's old soldiers to cross the Qiongchi River by boat and make a circle to attack the enemy camp from behind.
This is the key battle to complete the battle. If it fails, Sun Ce will have to wait for Gan Ning's reinforcements to arrive, even if he has Zhou Yu's support, he will have to stand aside in the next battle. Therefore, for this raid, Sun Ce left Lu Fan behind
He led the wounded soldiers to defend the city, pretending to be a show of force, while he, Zhu Zhi, Chen Wu and others took a boat to cross the pond.
The Meng family and the Yong family were not familiar with the art of war and were negligent in water warfare. They actually suffered a huge defeat that night. The camp was burned for a while and they fled to the south of the county overnight.
At this time, Annan General Ju Jun, who had come all the way, also entered Yongchang County. Together with the county meritorious officer Lu Kai and others, they wiped out the sporadic rebellions in the county, and then led his troops directly towards Yizhou County, fighting with those who were still holding on.
Wang and his wife, Li Hui and others recovered nearly half of the counties.
After the defeat, Meng and others were able to collect the remaining troops and march again after repairing. However, they heard that there was an attack on the rear on the way. The whole army suddenly lost their fighting spirit and hurriedly returned to the division. As a result, on the way, they met Colonel Ju Jun.
Wei Huojun stopped him and fought to the death, but failed to break through Huo Jun's camp.
Yizhou County, Qin Zang.
When the Meng family and the Yong family were arguing over whether to continue to unite in one place and advance the army at the same time, or to break up into pieces and disperse to the mountains and forests, a group of soldiers and horses that had just arrived were huddled in the dense forest not far away.
, watching with eager eyes the barbarians who came out of the mountains and forests and came to the plains to fight with the people.
"Looking at the appearance of this army, I'm afraid there are only about two or three thousand men." A young man spoke with a unique Jiaozhou accent and said to a round-faced man next to a big tree: "General Annan means that we cannot allow them to flee into the mountains.
This battle must be fought to defeat Bingzhou, and only when Liangzhou and Pinghu are defeated can we be able to answer the question to the imperial court."
"That's why the general sent you here. Otherwise, why would he be willing to let you fight in a normal battle?" The round-faced man held his hand on the handle of the knife and chuckled.
This young man is Liu Yan, the only cavalry captain under Ju Jun. He controls hundreds of Jiaozhou elite cavalry. He is usually regarded as a treasure by Ju Jun, and now he has sent him to the battle formation at the last moment. The round-faced man who is leading him is
It was Wei Yan, the lieutenant under Ju Jun's command. He and Huo Jun were both talented generals brought by Ju Jun when he was ordered to collect county soldiers from Jingzhou and go south to Jiaozhou.
"How far are General Gan's troops and horses?" Wei Yan stared at the barbarian camp in the distance and began to plan for a while which weak area to break through if there was a surprise attack.
Liu Yan hesitated for a moment and said: "The mountain road ahead is dangerous and the information is difficult to find. I don't know the trace for a while."
"Then don't wait any longer. Huo Zhongmiao is very good at defending. He can fight for several days. If he continues to defend, the Meng's barbarians outside the city will have to disperse on their own." Wei Yan said like a compliment, but also like a complaint.
: "Although Governor Sun joined forces with General Gan this time, his troops suffered too many casualties. I'm afraid he won't be of much use when he comes here as a vanguard... No wait! I'll be there in a moment.
Go to war!"
"Here you go!" Liu Yan said happily. During this march, he naturally wanted to make more military exploits. Now that the final great achievement was just around the corner, how could he let foreign troops get a share of the pie?
So Liu Yan sent the order, and everyone waited patiently for a moment, only to see wisps of smoke rising from the enemy camp. Wei Yan stared at it for a while, and then shouted: "Kill!"
Yizhou County, Dianchi County.
Ju Jun was talking at length by the vast Dian Lake with Wang and his wife, Cuan Xi, Li Hui, and Huang Gai, Wu Ban and others who came from the south of the Jianwei Kingdom to help. He, with a slight frost on his temples, was a bit more mature than before.
, the fierce and upright temperament in the past actually calmed down a bit at this time: "All the kings have contributed to the imperial court. After this battle, they must be memorialized one by one and presented to the emperor for commendation."
As he spoke, he looked at Sun Meng, the reporter beside him, who nodded in confirmation.
"Excuse me, general, what will happen to the court next after the Tianbing rebels against Nanzhong?" said the Prime Minister of Yizhou County and his wife. After the death of Yizhou Prefecture Shen Changbin, he became the scholar with the highest official position in Yizhou County.
.
The question he asked actually affected the minds of other people. In fact, everyone knew more or less that the rebellion by the barbarians in South China was probably due to the policies implemented by the imperial court that infringed on the interests of the local clan lords and barbarian chiefs. This time
The rebellion spread to Yizhou and Jingzhou with great momentum. Although Xu Huang's decisive battle at the beginning and the vulnerability of the barbarians made many Han powerful people afraid to take action for the time being, everyone still couldn't help but wonder about the court's determination after this incident.
It will not be weakened.
Ju Jun knew what they were thinking. Although he was guarding the remote Jiaozhou, he was very well-informed about some information because his family member Jushu served in the court: "Jiaozhou Shishi, you should have heard about it? I don't think you have such a powerful surname.
, the power in Jiaozhou can almost turmoil the counties, but with the imperial edict, haven't all the Wubi tribes been dismantled? Who dares to disobey the imperial court?"
"But I heard that the Shi clan's relatives are occupying important positions in all states and counties, and the edict is about to be issued. How could they..." Cuan Xi hesitated to speak in confusion.
Ju Jun sneered and said: "Before coming, the Hepu Grand Administrator Shi Yi, the Nanhai Grand Administrator Shi Wu and others did conspire to rebel. Fortunately, they discovered it in time. The army came and the rebels were wiped out. As a result, the Shi clan declined. After that, the court
There will be no further obstacles."
Everyone took a breath and felt that Ju Jun's methods were too cruel. Such a local rich man actually killed someone at his will. You must know that Shi Xie is still serving in the court.
"The prince has been dismissed from office because of this, but the emperor thought that he was ignorant and had no fault, so he pardoned the remaining crimes and allowed him to return to his hometown." Ju Jun knew that these people in front of him were in a remote place and had delayed news from the court because of their barbarism, so he
I said a few more words: "I heard on the way here that after returning to Jiaozhou, Shi Gong took the initiative to demolish the wall of the dock, disbanded the tribe, and faithfully paid tribute to the land and acres of land and other records. For this, the emperor rewarded him with a Guannei Marquis.
, and also allowed his son Shi Hui to study in the Imperial College."
After saying this, Huan Zhi, a member of the Jiaozhi people around Ju Jun, also said that what he said was true. Moreover, he was also from a wealthy family in Jiaozhou. He had many private soldiers in his family. He also actively cooperated with the court's actions. He was now highly valued by Ju Jun.
He will be transferred to serve in northern counties on the same day.
Everyone in the audience was silent after hearing this, but they all knew in their hearts that the imperial court only wanted to take back the private soldiers of powerful families and resolve internal instability. It gave sufficient preferential treatment to powerful people who actively cooperated, unlike some short-sighted people.
No room is left for people to worry about.
After a while, Wu Ban said: "This is the emperor's virtue. If the scholars had done this earlier, why would they do it today?" He looked at Wang and his wife, Li Hui and others, and said: "The barbarians in the south have been defeated, and the imperial court has made great plans.
Naturally, we must travel unimpeded, otherwise, how can we be worthy of the soldiers’ lives?”
Ju Jun nodded in agreement, and was about to speak when he saw a rider coming from outside, holding a victory report from a distance, saying that Wei Yan, Huo Jun completely defeated the Meng family, the Yong family rebels, and the building general Gan Ning arrived late.
, but the forward Sun Ce abandoned his baggage and came to fight with light troops, which happened to cut off the Meng family's retreat and beheaded the thieves chieftain.
From now on, Wei Yan and others only need to lead their own troops to exterminate the barbarians who are still defending their strongholds in the mountains and forests, and the Nanzhong counties can be considered completely stable.
Jujun was overjoyed when he heard the news, and hurriedly said to the scholar Sun Rui: "Quickly write a report of success and submit it to General Nan, and then send an order to Sun Ce, the commander-in-chief of Na surrender, and order him to command the troops and horses to wipe out the remaining thieves in Nanzhong. Please invite General Gan again.
Go south along the Yangtze River and serve in front of the Nanjun Army. As for Wei Wenchang and other troops, they all followed me into Zangke to assist Wuling in the east."
News of Nanzhong's great victory soon reached Xu Huang's ears along the river. Xu Huang immediately boosted his morale and ordered partial general Xu Shang, Zhonglang general Huang Zhong, and captains Guan Ping, Lu Chang and other generals to attack with all their strength. In the end, it was Huang who
Only when Zhong kills Samoko will the battle finally come to an end.
The barbaric chaos in the southwest was gradually calmed down. On the one hand, Xu Huang began to track down the powerful families who secretly colluded with the barbarians. On the other hand, he wrote down the merits and demerits of the generals one by one and submitted them to the emperor.
When the emperor who was far away in Chang'an received this news, it was already near the end of the year. He immediately summoned everyone to discuss the matter: "In this battle, Xu Huang should play the leading role. He will increase his settlement by 2,000 households first, and wait until the south is completely peaceful."
Yes, there is another reward."
He roughly had an idea in his mind, and roughly stated the rewards for the rest of the people. They were nothing more than the title of feudal lord and the increase of food and towns. He also made some adjustments to the counties in Nanzhong to resist the meritorious king and his wife.
He was appointed the prefect of Yongchang, changed the vassal state of Jianwei to Zhu Ti Commandery, appointed Cuan Xi as the prefect, Wu Ban as the prefect of the county, and Zhang Yi as Zhu Tiling.
Cao Cao simply wrote down the matter, and was going to discuss the name of the feudal lord and the number of fiefdoms in detail later, and asked directly: "With rewards, there must be punishments. Sun Hao and other generals fled in fear of thieves, almost delaying the important event. What should the court do?"
Please leave it to Your Majesty to decide what kind of treatment to take."
"Don't ask me everything." The emperor did not pick up the ball and asked the other party: "Mr. Cao, please make an idea for me first."
"That's the case..." Cao Cao waved his sleeves and said, "I have Sun Ce who is willing to use his merits to punish his crimes, but I think this trend will never last, so it is better to kill Sun Hao in front of the army, and his younger brother Sun Yu
If the crime is not serious and there is still remorse, the officer can be dismissed and ordered to return home."
"It's up to you." The emperor agreed without hesitation, and then added: "Ju Jun temporarily stationed himself in Nanzhong and asked Sun Ce to lead his troops through Yongchang to the south. He heard that there was a road leading to Tianzhu, so he ordered him to visit
To appease the people, establish prefectures and counties for the imperial court on the spot."
Cao Cao looked to the left and right and saw that Zhao Wen, Xun Yu and others were all silent. Apparently they all understood that the emperor's new territory was a lie, and that the emperor's release of the Sun family was true.
I just don’t know what’s the point of doing this now that Sun has become so weak?
