Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 171 Unifying Jiangdong (1)

It is said that the Taoist surnamed Yu Mingji came to Jiangdong three or four years ago, accompanied by two disciples who preached everywhere, called Taiping Qingdao.When he first came, it seemed that he was not short of money. He sent medicines for the people's medical treatment without receiving a penny. His reputation quickly spread in Jiangdong, attracting a large number of believers, and there were many blind followers.

When there are believers, some people donate money and things. Yu Ji, apart from continuing to treat the people's diseases, often gives charity everywhere, without leaving money or things.As a result, his disciples became more and more, and the number of disciples around him quickly increased from two to 200, and the scale of his travels was mighty.

With a great reputation and more people under his command, many wealthy families began to scramble to make friends, especially the old men and old ladies of the noble families trusted him, called him a living god, and scrambled to ask him to call his family to preach the scriptures, talk about good and evil, Talking about cause and effect, people flocked to worship wherever he went.Of course, these people are not good men and women, but because they are getting older, they start to worry about karma and reincarnation, so as to accumulate some virtue for themselves.

Sun Ce joined the army and killed countless people. He is a character who blocks and kills demons and Buddhas. He does not believe in ghosts and gods, nor in heaven.But he is still wary of such a huge momentum. Of course, the little bully is domineering and domineering. If there is a voice in Jiangdong, it can only be my Sun Ce's, and it must not be second.However, these people are unarmed civilians, and Sun Ce will not be able to lift the whip and butcher's knife as the cornerstone of Jiangdong's future management.

It's just that Sun Ce is too busy, and unifying Jiangdong is the top priority.Now there is no time to care about any Taoist priests, stability and expansion are overriding everything, Sun Ce must rush to take Jiangdong in a flash before he attracts the attention of the princes and the states and counties in Jiangdong raise their vigilance.As long as you don't raise the flag to directly oppose Sun Ce, you can be patient for a while.Sun Ce engaged in a showdown, searched for big households, and after preparing food and grass, he led his troops across Zhejiang and approached Kuaiji County.

Wang Lang, the governor of Kuaiji, was originally Tao Qian's subordinate, because Tao Qian trusted the Cao brothers a lot, and the Xuzhou gentry actually controlled the power. Wang Lang and Zhao Yu resigned from their official posts.Wang Lang was named the prefect of Kuaiji, and he has been in office for more than two years.Wang Lang worked hard in Kuaiji, and was deeply loved by the local people and supported by the rich.

Hearing about Sun Ce's attack, Cao Yufan thought that Sun Ce's army was too powerful and advised him to avoid Sun Ce's attack for the time being. Wang Lang believed that he was appointed by the court and was a righteous teacher. Let him drive straight in, and send troops to block Sun Ce in Guling.Sun Ce launched several attacks, but Wang Lang's defense failed.

Sun Ce's uncle, Sun Jing, offered a strategy and suggested attacking from east to west. After advancing from Chadu and bypassing the enemy's army, they should catch them by surprise and attack them by surprise.According to Sun Ce's plan, he lit torches all over the camp at night, and ordered the soldiers to speak and move loudly, showing that they were increasing their troops and preparing for a strong attack the next day, so as to confuse and restrain the frontal enemy. .

Wang Lang was still busy preparing to meet the enemy head-on, when suddenly a large group of troops appeared from behind. Out of surprise, he sent Zhou Xin to lead his troops to fight hastily, and Sun Ce beheaded Zhou Xin.Zhou Xin was originally a general of Yuan Shao's army. He was sent by Yuan Shao to Yuzhou to compete with Yuan Shu and was defeated by Sun Jian. Zhou Xin returned to his hometown Kuaiji to regroup and join Wang Lang, but unexpectedly died at the hands of Sun Jian's son Sun Ce.Zhou Xin has a younger brother named Zhou Shan. Although Zhou Shan is young, he is courageous. He vowed to avenge his elder brother, and later he took refuge under Sun Quan's command.

Zhou Xin was killed, Wang Lang's army was unable to withstand Sun Ce's attack, and was defeated one after another. Wang Lang did not dare to return to Kuaiji and took Yu Fan to escape to Dongye by boat.

Kuaiji was originally the capital of the Yue State in the Spring and Autumn Period, but it was already a large county in the Han Dynasty. The local big families mainly include the Yu family, the He family, the Wei family, and the Xie family.When Sun Ce occupied Kuaiji, the big households and noble families expressed their positions one after another. Yu Fan fled with Wang Lang, and the He family sent his son He Qi to join Sun Ce. Sun Ce used him as a general. However, Wei Teng has a stubborn temper and doesn't give anyone face, often offending Sun Ce.The Xie family betrothed their prostitute daughter to Sun Quan as his wife.

Sun Ce called He Qi Xiaolian, and sent He Qi to continue to pursue Wang Lang. Wang Lang was desperate and gave up resisting and was captured. He Qi first handed over the certificate to Sun Ce.

Wang Lang was very famous in Shilin, so Sun Ce sent Zhang Zhao to persuade Wang Lang to join him, but Wang Lang refused to surrender, because Wang Lang was an upright official, and Sun Ce did not kill him, but provided firewood and rice on time.Sun Ce paid a personal visit to Yu Fan as a friend, and Yu Fan surrendered to Sun Ce, and Sun Ce was used as an assistant, so Kuaiji was pacified.There were still sporadic rebellions in various places. He appointed He Qi as the southern captain in charge of countering the rebellion, restraining the Shanyue people, and led his troops back to Wujun.

In less than two years after Sun Ce sent troops, he expelled Liu Yao and Yan Hu, captured Xu Gong and Wang Lang, and occupied Wujun, Kuaiji and Danyang.There are thirteen counties under Wu County and eleven counties in Kuaiji, and Danyang is still under the rule of his uncle Wu Jing.Sun Ce had no intention of resting for a period of time. After solving the southeast, he set his sights on the southwest. His next target was Yuzhang, which had [-] counties under its rule.

Before dispatching troops, Zhou Yu tricked Yuan Shu and came to Wujun via Juchao.When Sun Ce heard that Zhou Yu had returned, he went out to greet Zhou Yu in person, awarded Zhou Yu Jianwei Zhonglang General, and immediately assigned him 2000 soldiers and [-] cavalry.Lu Su also came with Zhou Yu. Lu Su came to Jiangdong not only because of Zhou Yu's persuasion, but also to escape the war.

After talking, Sun Ce was very surprised by Lu Su's talent. He seemed to be inferior to Zhou Yu in terms of wisdom and Zhang Zhao in terms of planning, but he had great foresight and an overall view. Beishou, in terms of governing Jiangdong, advocated the integration of Jiangbei and Jiangdong gentry, gradually weakening the power of local gentry.

Just when it was about to be reused, Lu Su's grandmother did not survive the fatigue of the journey and the climate was not acclimatized to death. Lu Su sent his grandmother's coffin back to Dongcheng for burial.

According to Lu Su's strategy, if he wants to attack the south and defend the north, he must first take Lujiang County, especially Wancheng, the important town of Lujiang.Sun Ce and Zhou Yu led troops to attack Wancheng. Liu Xun, the prefect of Lujiang appointed by Yuan Shu, faced the aggressive Sun Ce and chose to swallow his anger. After all, he was snatched from Sun Ce as the prefect.Liu Xun shrunk his line of defense and gave up Wancheng. Sun Ce's strategic goal had been achieved and he no longer attacked Lujiang.In Wancheng, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu obtained two daughters from Duke Qiao in the city, both of whom were beautiful and beautiful, and they were called Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao respectively.

Sun Ce married Da Qiao himself, Zhou Yu married Xiao Qiao, and they became brother-in-law again.Originally a marriage that was snatched, after some gorgeous packaging, it became a love story of a man and a woman.The beauty of Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao was even more legendary.
