Ancestor Bless: I built a thousand-year-old family

Chapter 674 One year!The battle between the two shepherds!

The world is full of swords and swords, ready to fight.

Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan faced off in Jizhou. Yuan Shao exercised great restraint and waited for an excellent opportunity.

Gongsun Zan kept trying to pressure Yuan Shaojun, but he never found an angle that allowed the Youzhou cavalry to charge and kill.

Cao Cao and Liu Bei entered the stage of fighting for food and grass before they had a fierce confrontation on the Yanzhou battlefield. Everyone was waiting for the decisive battle when the food and grass were about to run out.

Jiangdong Sun Jian prepared his army and began to prepare to enter Danyang County. Before that, Zhou Yu had already rushed to Danyang County in person to meet his father, Zhou Shang, the governor of Danyang County.

When the Zhou family in Lujiang was most prominent, it was natural that there were two consecutive generations and three princes. Zhou Yu's father was once the magistrate of Luoyang, which was a very important position. The magistrates in the important areas of the capital were automatically promoted to one level.

After the death of Zhou Yu's father, Zhou Shang is now the most prominent official of the Zhou family in Lujiang, the prefect of Two Thousand Stones.

Although Zhou Yu was not Zhou Shang's biological son, Zhou Shang valued Zhou Yu very much and praised Zhou Yu as the unicorn son of the Zhou family. It must be Zhou Yu who prospered the Zhou family.

Seeing Zhou Yu coming at this moment, although Zhou Shang knew that Zhou Yu must be Gongzi Chu's lobbyist, he still welcomed him in kindly.

Zhou Yu openly hoped that Zhou Shang could join Prince Chu and offer Danyang County. After hearing this, Zhou Shang just said: "Since ancient times, anyone who surrendered to Chu can be regarded as a vassal.

Does Prince Chu want me to be a minister or a vassal? "

The meaning of this sentence is to ask whether he can still be independent. There is no need for so many twists and turns between Zhou Shang and Zhou Yu. He said directly: "Gong Jin, the most difficult thing in the world is to surrender without hesitation!

I am the prefect of two thousand stones. Where can I be placed in this Yangzhou?

Those subordinates under my command who follow me, are they willing to defect to Master Chu? "

Zhou Yu heard this and said in a deep voice: "Uncle, these are not problems. It is impossible for everyone in this world to benefit.

Looking forward and backward is not what a wise man does.

You are the governor of Danyang County, and you are not a puppet of those nobles. Besides, aren't those Danyang nobles willing to defect to Young Master Chu? "

Zhou Shang looked at Zhou Yu and said with a smile: "It seems that you really recognize this Young Master Chu, and you even said such words.

But haven’t you always wanted to go north to the Central Plains to compete with the heroes of the world?

I'm afraid Mr. Chu can't realize your wish, right? "

Zhou Yu also smiled and said: "Who can say for sure what will happen in the future?
There is neither Huaisi nor Jingchu in Jiangdong now, and it is not even as good as the Qingji Wu Dynasty in the Zhou Dynasty. It is too far away to go north to the Central Plains now.

Even though Young Master Chu has the ambition to defend his territory, the general trend of the world is like the Yangtze River rolling eastward, so how can anyone disobey it?

After defeating Sun Jian, does Yuan Shu want to fight?
Does Liu Biao want to fight?
In order to protect the east of the Yangtze River, we must protect the Yangtze River. In order to protect the Yangtze River, we must protect the Huaihe River. If we have the Huaihe River, we feel unsafe in the west.

After all, from west to east, overlooking Jiangdong, and going down the river to attack Jingchu, occupy Nanyang and Xiangyang.

When that day comes, he will have to do some things even if he doesn't want to do them. "

Zhou Shang couldn't help laughing when he heard this. He was sure that his nephew must not have said these words to Young Master Chu.

Zhou Yu knew what his uncle was laughing at, but he also knew very well that Young Master Chu knew these things.

Now we are just stuck here, without a good solution, just muddle along.

Zhou Shang laughed and said immediately: "In that case, my uncle will submit to Master Chu, but there are still things to do before that."

Zhou Yu knew what was going on. It was nothing more than exiling or killing those who were unwilling to surrender to Master Chu.

This is all standard procedure. Every time a place is occupied, a large number of scholars will flee. This is why.

Zhou Shang's speed was very fast, and Danyang County quickly changed its flag and honored Luo Chu as Yangzhou Mu, and did not recognize Sun Jian's Yangzhou Mu status that was canonized by the Chang'an court.

Zhou Shang's statement soon spread among the counties in Jiangdong. Scholars in Jiangdong and Jingzhou called the dispute between Sun Jian and Luo Chu the "Two Shepherds' Battle."

Behind Luo Chu were the local nobles in Jiangdong and the scholars who were living in exile who were optimistic about him. Behind Sun Jian were Yuan Shu from Runan in Yuzhou and his own team.

Who will become the master of Jiangdong?
Most people are optimistic about Luo Chu and not Sun Jian.

The gentry were quite resolute in defending their territory, just like the first generation of nobles who died if they were defeated and died if they abandoned their land. Their fighting power was quite strong.

After Zhou Shang confirmed his surrender, Luo Chu set off from Wu County to Danyang County. He came to review an elite army under Zhou Shang's command, the Danyang soldiers!
The reputation of the Danyang Army had already been reflected in Wu's attack on Chu during the Zhou Dynasty, but it was not called Danyang County at that time.

It is called in history books - "This place has dangerous mountains, many fruitful people, a good martial arts practice, noble strength, and a place of elite soldiers."

In the wars of the Han Dynasty, Danyang soldiers have always been the focus of deployment. Whether they went north to fight against the Huns or went south to annihilate the Shanyue barbarians, Danyang soldiers were everywhere.

Tao Qian, the former governor of Xuzhou, was able to control Xuzhou by relying on the powerful combat effectiveness of thousands of Danyang soldiers, but he died directly in the rebel army. The Danyang soldiers either died in the rebel army or fled to their own homes.

Zhou Shang also had about three thousand Danyang soldiers in his hands. After Luo Chu came to Danyang County, he said proudly: "Three thousand Danyang soldiers are all brave men, and they can fight with more than ten thousand soldiers without retreating or being defeated." ! If Sun Jian really dares to invade, we will definitely let him see what Jiangdong Iron Wall is."

Luo Chu looked at those fierce soldiers, with fierce and unruly looks in their eyes, and knew that these were definitely the best among the best.

The so-called elites have two points. First, they have good physical fitness. Second, they are not afraid of death. With good physical fitness, they can complete various combat objectives. If they are not afraid of death, they can withstand extremely high battle losses.

In the era of cold weapons, an army that can withstand [-]% of battle losses will be victorious in any battle against an army that can only withstand [-]% of battle losses.

The Suwang Temple Army, the best in the world, is so strong because it can fight to the last man. 3000 people can be used as 1 or even 2 people.

It is often recorded in the history books of the Western Regions that "Wu Shuang Hou sent [-] troops to the temple and fought with more than [-] cavalry. The enemy was routed and he rushed thousands of miles to kill his leader."

Dare warriors are known as the strongest army in the world because they can withstand extremely high battle losses!
Of course, these Danyang troops cannot reach the level of dare warriors and temple troops, but Luo Chu knows that this will be one of his trump cards in guarding Jiangdong from now on.

Now the importance of the elite army is gradually being taken seriously.

The Xiliang warlord is so stupid, but with the Xiliang Iron Cavalry here, he is still living quite freely.

As time passed, the events of that year gradually became known to people. The reason why Wushuang Hou Luokong was defeated so easily by Dong Zhuo was because Dong Zhuo had an elite group called the Flying Bear Army, whose leader was the one who now occupies Guanzhong. Li Jue.

However, this flying bear army was annihilated before it even showed its power, under the earth-shattering punishment of Wushuang Hou. The rebel army was defeated, and all the elites were useless.

But even if the Flying Bear Army didn't see it, everyone in the world could see how powerful the Xiliang Iron Cavalry was once it exceeded [-] people. Gongsun Zan's white-horse followers were all elites in the world. Once they stepped onto the battlefield, they would be It's an extremely headache-inducing existence.

After the banquet, Luo Chu praised: "Zhou Shanggong, if you want to defend Jiangdong, if you don't have such an elite army at your disposal, defending Jiangdong will be empty talk.

It is an honor for Chu that you are willing to surrender and have such a strong army. "

Zhou Shang bowed and said: "Young Master is sitting in Jiangdong. The Zhou family in Lujiang all admires Young Master. If he were not in an important position, hundreds of thousands of people in this county would not be able to leave him. When Young Master issued the order to recruit talents that day, a certain person signed his seal and left."

Zhou Shang spoke so politely because after reviewing the army, Luo Chu still made Zhou Shang the governor of Danyang.

This shows that Luo Chu has no idea of ​​replacing him yet, which makes Zhou Shang feel a little relieved. After all, his status is too high. The prefect of two thousand stones cannot be underestimated in today's world.

He took refuge in Luo Chu. It was really not easy for Luo Chu to arrange a suitable position for him. In Yangzhou, apart from the position of state pastor, it is really not easy to find a position higher than the prefect. .

He guessed that Luo Chu wanted to wait until the battle with Sun Jian was over before making any arguments. Zhou Shang also felt that it was best to maintain the status quo now.

Luo Chu picked up the wine bottle and touched it with Zhou Shang from a distance. After drinking it, he said: "Duke Zhou Shang, Sun Jian wants to lead the army to enter Danyang County. You have been guarding Danyang for many years, so you will still lead the army to resist.

Benzhou will lead the army of Wu County to suppress the battle from behind. As for the logistics and food, there is no need to worry about it. Wu County will bear all the responsibility. The soldiers who have made meritorious service will be rewarded according to regulations, and the soldiers who died in the battle will be given pensions one by one.

We must thwart Sun Jian's attempt to enter Danyang County and Wu County and safeguard the peace of Jiangdong. "

Zhou Shang bowed his hands and said in a deep voice: "Shang accepts your order!"

The counties in Jiangdong were at war with each other, and many powerful men came to defect with their own soldiers. Among them, there were quite a few who were fierce generals at a glance. For example, one of them was named Zhou Tai, who was born with supernatural powers. When Luo Chu saw it, Very happy.

In Luo Chu's opinion, with Zhou Tai's talent, as long as he is trained, it may not be impossible to become a general who can defeat thousands of enemies.

Jiang Qin, who came with Zhou Tai, was also a tiger general, which surprised Luo Chu. He now had a shortage of civil servants and advisers.

There are Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong in domestic affairs, Zhang Hong and Lu Su in foreign affairs, Lu Su in military strategy and strategy, and Zhou Yu and Lu Su in generals. What is lacking now are those fierce generals who can lead the army into battle.

You must know that even Han Xin, Han Wu and Mu had a group of old brothers of Emperor Gao as partial generals to lead the troops to execute orders. For example, his great uncle Luo Xiao also had a group of Taiping army commanders to execute orders.

Now that we have obtained these powerful generals, with a little training, we can greatly enhance our combat effectiveness.

Sun Jian only felt that everything was not on his side. He really felt what it meant to be full of constraints.

When he led a group of generals and soldiers who followed him in the south and north into Danyang County, what he saw were [-] Danyang elite soldiers and the Wu County army pressing behind the Danyang soldiers.

Densely packed and overwhelming, countless flags were flying above the military camp. No one could count how many there were.

This battle is difficult!
----

Since the First Zhuxia War lasted for a long time, both sides experienced numerous emergencies as well as political and military events during the war.

The "Ermu Controversy" was a local war fought for dominance in Jiangdong during the Zhuxia War.

The result of the war was that Luo Chu defeated Sun Jian's strategic goal of entering Jiangdong, forcing Sun Jian to adjust his strategic direction and shift his efforts to the Central Plains, and affected the strategic goals of Xuzhou and Jingzhou.

One move affected the whole body, which had a great impact on the first Zhuxia War that lasted for several years.

The impact of the "Ermu Controversy" on the war situation cannot be ignored during the First Zhuxia War. ——"History of War in the Late Eastern Han Dynasty"
