Chapter 315: There are also foreigners in the south
"What do you mean?" Dong Xi sneered and said, "Even if you want to put money on Liu Bei's face, you can't be shameless! In terms of development, our lord is sitting in six counties and 81 states in Jiangdong, and the people are prosperous and the country is rich.
Can you compare to Liu Bei who only has one county?"
"Yes! Six counties in Jiangdong and eighty-one states! Tsk tsk!" Jian Yong suddenly asked: "How many of the six counties in Jiangdong are being harassed by Shanyue?"
"Sanjun Xin Dong replied subconsciously, but he quickly reacted and said angrily: "How dare you deceive me?
"Why do you have to say it so harshly?" Jian Yong said with a smile: "I didn't expect General Dong to be so honest! There are six counties in Jiangdong that are harassed by Shan Yue. No wonder he knows
"Your sixth Dong Xi's face turned red. He said forgivingly: "How good is Liu Bei? With a state and county that has not yet been conquered, trying to support a hundred thousand soldiers, I really don't know whether he is ignorant or an idiot! Although I have Jiangdong
The mountain is full of diseases, but it is just a disease caused by the disease. There are also Wuxi barbarians in Wuling. I want to see what Liu Bei will do!"
"My lord has his own idea, don't bother the general!" Jian Yong said with a smile: "At the very least, if my lord wins Lingling, he will have the land of two counties, and Jiangdong will only have one more county than my lord. By then,
Our lord can not only compete with Jiangdong, but also seize Xichuan. As long as we are fast enough, my lord's great cause will be just around the corner! By then, Prefect Liu will be the biggest hero of our army, wouldn't it be better than entering Jiangdong as the icing on the cake?"
"Haha..." Dong Xi laughed and said, "Sir, I am not as good at eloquence! However, if Liu Bei wants to enter Xichuan, he has to ask my master if he agrees! Liu Du, after talking for so long, I am also a little impatient!"
My lord has said that if you surrender, you will still be the prefect of Lingling.
Of course, if you are afraid of Liu Bei's revenge, you can also change your county to be the governor!"
"Are you serious?" Liu Du's eyes lit up. He didn't want to be a prefect where the two armies were fighting.
"If it's not true, why should I say it?" Dong Xi laughed and said, "Look at how carefree Zhao Fan, the governor of Guiyang, is now under my lord!"
"Liu Du was originally optimistic about Sun Ce, but when Dong Xi said this, he immediately wanted to make a decision.
"Father!" Playboys are often too ambitious. Liu Xian is not as ambitious as Liu Du. He whispered in Liu Du's ear: "No matter who we seek refuge with, we cannot leave Lingling, because our foundation is here! If
If you leave Diao, you will be misunderstood by others!"
"How do you say this?" Liu Du frowned and said, "Lingling is already a battlefield, and it is really dangerous here!"
"My father has been operating in Lingling for many years. Are you willing to give up like this?" Liu Xian glanced at Dong Xi, lowered his voice and said, "Besides, if you go to other places, you can change the Ju Bo Fu if you want."
Change, withdraw if you want? By then, even if Sun Ce kills us father and son, what will happen?"
"This can't be done!" Liu Du said hesitantly: "Sun Ce has already promised me, how can he break his promise?"
"Father!" Liu Xian said anxiously: "You must be on guard against others!"
Come on!" Liu Xian smiled and said: "General Wei, I have been in Lingling for twenty years, and I really don't want to change places. If General Sun agrees to my permanent residence in Lingling, I will not care about the resistance of the previous ears.
, I will open the city and surrender!"
"Please think again, Prefect Liu!" Seeing that Liu Du wanted to surrender to Sun Ce, Jian Yong became anxious. One more county would give him more hope, and Liu Bei's 100,000-strong army would be less likely to be disbanded!
"Mr. Jian, there is no need to say more!" Liu Du said with a smile: "Although I also feel for Mr. Xuande, unfortunately his strength is too weak, and I don't want to take risks with him! However, I don't want to kill the envoy if the two countries are at war.
I'm embarrassing you! Someone, send Mr. Jian out of the city!"
"Prefect Liu, please think twice..." Jian Yong was anxious and didn't know what to say. He would only think twice. Who didn't know that Liu Du asked Jian Yong to enter the city just to force Sun Ce to his bottom line, but Sun Ce unexpectedly
A general was sent and he miscalculated!
"Think twice!" Seeing Jian Yong's reluctance, Liu Xian said angrily: "Xing Daorong, throw him out! If he continues to gibber, I will give him to General Sun as a meeting gift. I think
General Sun will probably like it!"
"What the young master said is true!" Dong Xi was most afraid of Liu Du colluding with Liu Bei. If Liu Xian really gave Jian Yong to Sun Ce, he would completely break with Liu Bei!
"I'll take my leave!" Jian Yong was not stupid either. He didn't want to be sent to Sun Ce's army.
"Huh!" Dong Xi snorted coldly, seemingly annoyed that Liu Xian failed to give Jian Yong to Sun Ce.
In order to prevent Liu Bei from taking advantage of Sun Ce's surrender, or to worry about Liu Du being unsteady, Sun Ce led his army to Lingling City early the next morning, and the general guarding Lingling City was Dong Xi. Although Liu Du did not understand Sun Ce
Why was he so anxious? But with Dong Xi's army stationed, he was relieved, and Sun Ce also followed the agreement and let Liu Du continue to be the prefect of Lingling.
"Too much bullying!" Jian Yong returned to Wuling and after reporting Lingling and his party to Liu Bei, Xu Zhumeng slapped the table and said, "Brother, give me 50,000 soldiers, and I will go and defeat Lingling!"
"Sit down!" Liu Bei said with a bitter smile: "If we can send troops to Lingling, why should I send Xianhe to take risks? Dong Xi is right, the Wuxi barbarians have started to make trouble, we must send troops to quell the rebellion first, otherwise we will not be able to save even Wuling.
!”
"Wuxi Barbarians?" Wei Yan asked very puzzledly: "I heard that Wuxi Barbarians have always been friendly with the Han people, why are they making such a fuss?"
"It's not that damn Jin Xuan!" Gong Zhi, as the prefect of Wuling, immediately stood up and explained: "As a member of a noble family, Jin Xuan always looked down on the poor, let alone the barbarians! In order to expand his army, he attacked the Wuxi barbarians.
The barbarians complained about the forced conquest. Logically speaking, this situation should be appeased, but he chose to lead his troops to suppress the spread of the wings.
Gong Zhi did not continue, but Liu Bei had already understood. He smiled bitterly and said: "This damn Jinxuan will still cause trouble to me after he dies! Gong Zhi, now that you are the governor of Wuling, why don't you appease those barbarians?"
"My lord, after what happened to Jin Xuan, the Wuxi barbarians no longer trust the Han people, and I used to be a Wuling official, so the barbarians don't trust me even more!" Gong Zhi sighed with a bitter look on his face. When Jin Xuan made things difficult for the barbarians, he also
He tried hard to persuade him, but Jin Xuan refused to listen. In fact, the reason why Gong Zhi opposed Jin Xuan was also related to Jin Xuan's attitude towards the poor and barbarians!
"Send someone to communicate!" Liu Bei said coldly: "If the Wuxi barbarians don't know what to do, don't blame me for using troops against them!"
"Lord, I have sent out several waves of people!" Gong Zhi said with a bitter smile: "None of them have come back!"
"What? You dare to detain our people?" Xu Zhu said angrily: "Brother, this trend cannot last forever, otherwise where will the majesty of our army be?"
Okay!" Liu Bei stood up and said: "I can't defeat Liu Zhang, Cao Cao, and Sun Ce, and now even the little barbarians are bullying me. Wen Chang, Zhong Kang, follow me to send troops to Wuxi Barbarians, Ziyi and Jian Yong.
Wait for the scribes to guard Wuling!"
"Yes!" Everyone bowed to accept the order. Wei Yan and others took the order arrows and rushed to the school field to prepare for battle.
Outside Lingling City, Sun Ce's army has withdrawn to Changsha. In the Changsha Prefect's Mansion, Sun Ce summoned the generals and discussed the military situation. To be honest, Sun Ce really didn't want to take advantage of Liu Du, but he had no choice. The Shanyue people became more and more violent.
If we don't send troops to suppress the watermark pressure of Zhanyi, Jiangdong will be unstable!
"Damn Shan Yue!" Jiang Qin punched the case with a ferocious look on his face. As a Jiujiang native, he knew Shan Yue very well.
These foreigners living in the mountains often exchange some things with the Han people. But sometimes, these foreigners do not exchange, but rob. Although they are not as bad as the Xiongnu and Wuwan Dacaogu, they buy and sell by force, and are cruel and domineering.
It has brought considerable harm to the people of Jiangdong.
The imperial court once sent troops to conquer, but when those Shanyue people saw the imperial army arriving, they burrowed into the mountains and led the imperial army in circles. The watermark team, which allowed the imperial army to spread its wings, was defeated without a fight. Every time they went on an expedition, the imperial court wasted on food and grass.
After too many times, the court would ignore it! Even if individual governors and governors wanted to take care of it, they could not do anything about it, and in the end they could only end up compromising.
"We have to find a way to deal with the Shanyue people!" Sun Ce frowned and asked: "Zijing, you are the most capable person in our army, what do you think we should do?"
Lu Su smiled bitterly and said: "My lord, Shanyue has been suffering for a long time. Although I have methods, I can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause!"
"It doesn't matter what the indicators are, it's still about treating the root cause. As long as there is a way!" Don... Ce smiled and said, "Let's talk about it!"
Lu Su said: "To deal with foreigners in the north, we usually keep the walls strong and clear the fields. We can try it too!"
"Zijing, the south is different from the north. The north is mostly flat plains, but the south has many mountains and forests. How can we strengthen the walls and clear the fields?" Sun Ce frowned and asked, "Is it possible to burn the mountains and forests to gold?"
"Of course not!" Lu Su said with a smile: "We sealed the watermarks of Zhangzhanyi and blocked the important roads, prohibiting the people from exchanging goods and food with the Shanyue people, and trapped the Shanyue people to death in the mountain towel!"
"This..." Sun Ce asked with a smile: "The Shanyue people will not sit still and wait for death. What should we do if they resist and attack the prefectures and counties?"
Zhou Tai said with a smile: "If the Shanyue people resist, wouldn't they be captured in one fell swoop?"
"How can it be so easy!" Sun Ce said with a smile: "The Shanyue people can't win. If we drill into the mountains, why don't we go into the mountains to conquer? Otherwise, the hatred will be over, and they will sneak attack the prefectures and counties from time to time, and we will be in trouble! Just like this
This time, at a critical moment, Shanyue sent troops, and we had to compromise with Liu Du. If we were facing Liu Zhang this time, Cao Cao and his men would be in danger!"
After Sun Ce finished speaking, the entire hall fell silent! You know, it took a lot of time for Soochow in history to conquer Shanyue. It was precisely because of Shanyue that Sun Quan was unable to hunt north. Just imagine, the richness of Jiangdong
No less than Jingzhou, Jingzhou has more than 200,000 horse infantry naval troops, so why does Soochow have only 70,000 to 80,000 people? It’s not that Soochow has no soldiers, but that a large part of its troops are restrained by Shanyue!
"Report!" Just when the atmosphere in the hall was getting more and more dull, a pawn rushed into the big tent and said: "To inform my lord, a gentleman came outside and said that he has a way to solve my lord's problem!"
"What?" Sun Ce said happily: "Please tell me soon (To be continued)
