New Story of Lv Bu - chapter 1239
In the third year of Jian’an of the Han Dynasty, on the first day of October, Yangzhou, Wujun, Qu’a, within the county government, above the lobby.
Sun Ce is above the top, Sun Quan, Sun Ben, Sun Fu and Jiangdong civil servants Wen Dongwuxi, all together, are discussing Jiangdong’s future strategic policy. In the past few days, several news that shocked the world came one after another. First, Yuan Shaochangyi was defeated, hundreds of thousands of troops disappeared, and Yuan Shao died of suicide. Immediately afterwards, Yuan Shu, the emperor of the Zhong family, died in terror outside the city of Xiapi.
Liu Xuande abandoned all the infantry, led more than 10,000 cavalry, rushed to Jiangling day and night to join Liu Biao. After just half a day, Cao Mengde had no choice but to abandon Tanxian County and flee to Xiangyang in the footsteps of Liu Xuande. In the territory of Yuzhou, Liu Xuande and Cao Mengde were repeatedly blocked by the governor of Yuzhou Han Sui and General Linghua Lu Linghao, and they were defeated and fled. Fortunately, Jingzhou Mu Liu Jingsheng reached out and accepted them. At this time, the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang had only 800 fine riders, and Cao Mengde was better, and only a thousand fine riders. From this day on, the Central Plains war launched by Wen Wang Lu Bu came to an end, and the Han army swept across Qingzhou, Yanzhou, and Xuzhou.
The three brothers of Jiangdong Tiger Wucheng Hou Sunjian, the eldest brother Sun Qiang, younger brothers Sun Jing, and Sun Jian ranked second. Sun Qiang and his wife died early. His eldest son, Sun Ben, is called Boyang, and his second son, Sun Fu, is called Guoyi. Sun Jingsheng had five sons, Sun Song, Sun Yu, Sun Jiao, Sun Huan, and Sun Qian, all of whom were still young at this time. Sun Jian had five sons. Sun Ce, Sun Quan, Sun Yi, Sun Kuang, and Sun Lang, except for Sun Ce and Sun Quan who are already adults, the other three sons are still very young. Therefore, in the second generation of the Sun family, Sun Ben and Sun Fu are very important.
Therefore, Sun Ce had to listen carefully to the opinions of Sun Ben and Sun Fu when he was dealing with military affairs and government affairs. Civil officials and military commanders discussed for more than an hour, and finally formed two opinions. The civil servants headed by Zhang Zhao believed that the power of King Wen was too great. With the power of one state in Yangzhou, it was determined that King Wen could not stop the process of unifying the world. Why not send a special envoy to return to the land and unify Yangzhou at the same time. The military commanders headed by Sun Quan, Sun Ben, and Sun Fu believe that this world is still to be fought, and it is not too late to surrender. At that time Zhou Yu left Zhenjiang Capital and led the army to fight Chen Deng, but was not in Qu’a. But he sent an emissary to affirm that he agreed with Zhang Zhao’s opinion.
When the discussion reached this level, the two groups were at a loss and refused to give in. It was really impossible to continue the discussion. Ever since, everyone stopped arguing and looked up at Sun Ce, waiting for him to deal with it. “You gentlemen! In my opinion, Zibu’s opinions should be adopted. Send envoys to return to the court, and at the same time try to restore Yangzhou!” Sun Ce took the case and finally set the tone.
“No! I’m waiting to obey the general’s order!” The civilian generals replied. Only Sun Quan, Sun Ben, and Sun Fu looked at each other, quite convincingly. “Everyone! Raise troops tomorrow, follow me to expropriate the counties of Jiujiang and Luling!” Sun Ce Zhenyi stood up. “Nuo!” Jiangdong’s civil servants and military commanders respectfully saluted them, and slammed their promises, and they all cleaned up their clothes and walked away.
At this time, there was a celebrity in Huainan named Liu Ye. Liu Ye, whose name is Ziyang, is a native of Huainan Chengde, and is the descendant of Fuling King Liu Yan, the son of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu. Liu Ye was well-known when he was young, and he is said to be a talented person. When Liu Ye was seven years old, his mother died. When his mother was dying, he said: “Your father’s (Liu Pu) servant has the disposition to frame others. I am worried that there will be chaos after my death. I hope you and your brother (Liu Huan) will get rid of this person when they grow up.” Liu At the age of thirteen, Ye killed the waiter whom his father favored according to his mother’s death, and then frankly pleaded guilty to his father. Liu Pu was furious at first, but after knowing Liu Ye’s motives, he also admired him very much and didn’t criticize him.
Runan Xu Shao Xu Zi will be good at observing people. At that time, he took refuge in Yangzhou. After seeing Liu Ye, he admired Liu Ye very much and said that Liu Ye has the talents of the world. Xu Zi will be good at getting to know each other, and he has long made a conclusion in this world, but everyone doesn’t believe his words. When Liu Ye was in his twenties, the world was in chaos. Most of the powerful in Yangzhou were unwilling to restrain the strong and support the weak and were cunning and brutal. There are Zheng Bao, Zhang Duo, Xu Qian and others in Yangzhou who support their own soldiers. Among them, Zheng Bao is the most brave and decisive, with outstanding talents and strength, and is jealous of the locals.
At that time, Zheng Bao wanted to take the people across the Yangtze River to the south of the Yangtze River. He fancyed Liu Ye as a celebrity of the local Gao clan and wanted to force him to advocate this strategy. Liu Ye was scared when he knew it, but Zheng Bao was not found. At this time, Lu Bu sent the messenger Sima Yi to Yangzhou, Liu Ye went to see the messenger, discussed the current situation, and asked the messenger to stay with him for a few days. During this period, the two negotiated a settlement.
Zheng Bao then took hundreds of people to greet the angel Sima Yi with cattle and wine, and waited for Liu Ye. On the other hand, Liu Ye gave Zheng Bao a party outside the middle door, while he and Zheng Bao had a dinner party, and secretly asked someone to kill Zheng Bao by the opportunity of a toast. But Zheng Bao turned out to be a bad drink, and he paid attention to them, so that man didn’t dare to start. Liu Ye then personally beheaded Zheng Bao with a saber, and beheaded his head, threatening his tribe: “King Wen has orders, and those who dare to move will be guilty of the same crime with Bao.” The tribesmen were shocked and scared when they saw this, and ran away. Back to the camp
At that time, there were thousands of elite soldiers in the camp. In order to prevent them from causing chaos, Liu Ye rode Zheng Bao’s horses to the gate of Zheng Bao’s camp and told some leaders about the misfortune and welfare. Eventually everyone kowtowed their heads to welcome Liu Ye. After Liu Ye entered the camp, he pacified the masses and convinced them to persuade them, and even elected Liu Ye as the new leader. But Liu Ye saw the decline of the Han family and he was also a royal clan, and did not want to support soldiers, but the current situation forced him to accept it. Thousands of Zheng Bao’s subordinates were all subdued by the town, so the angel Sima Yi made a decisive decision and appointed Liu Ye as the general general to lead the thieves.
After Yuan Shu died in horror, his subordinates Yang Hong and Zhang Xun wanted to go to Sun Ce, but they were intercepted by Lujiang Prefect Liu Xun, and all were captured. And Yuan Shu’s cousin Yuan Yin, son-in-law Huang Yi and others were also awed by Lu Bu’s power and did not dare to guard Shouchun, carrying Yuan Shu’s coffin, leading Yuan Shu’s family and the men and women of the trilogy to the city of Anhui to defect to Liu Xun. At this time, Yuan Shu’s old ministry was mostly under Liu Xun’s command.
Yuan Shu’s prime minister, Yan Xiang, refused to defect to Liu Xun, intending to lead his troops to stick to Shouchun, but was attacked by the former Lujiang prefect Li Shu. Yan Xiang was defeated and killed himself. The generals Chen Ji, Chen Lan, Lei Bu, and Lejue under Yan Xiang’s command each gathered the remnants of soldiers and distributed them between the Jianghuai River and Huaihe River. After Yuan Shu died, his generals were divided into two parts, one was Jianghuai generals, and the second was Lujiang Liu Xun.
Liu Ye judged the situation and thought that the defeat of these thousands of remnants would be of no avail, so he handed over these thousands to Liu Xun, the prefect of Lujiang County. Liu Xun was very strange and asked why. Liu Ye said: “There is no discipline in Zheng Bao’s army. The tribe has always relied on looting the people for profit. I have always had no talent, and I have to reorganize them, which will inevitably cause resentment and the situation will not last. So I leave these people under your jurisdiction. “Because of the too many subordinates hosting Yuan Shu, Liu Xun sent his cousin Liu Kai to collect food and grass for the clan leaders. The leaders of the Shang Liao Zong Party failed to meet Liu Kai’s request, so Liu Kai notified Liu Xun and asked him to send troops to attack.
At this time, Sun Ce’s army was about to capture the two counties of Jiujiang and Lujiang, and agreed to Yangzhou. Seeing that Liu Xun was so powerful and difficult to attack, Zhang Zhao was sent as a special envoy to confuse Liu Xun. After Zhang Zhao arrived at Lujiang, he immediately humbled and went to see Liu Xun, pretending to be humble and obedient to Liu Xun, saying: “The people of Shang Liao clan have repeatedly bullied the county. I plan to attack them, but the journey is far inconvenient. Shang Liao is very wealthy. I hope you will join forces to fight against him. I am willing to send troops to serve as foreign aid.” He also bribed Liu Xun with jewellery and a lot of Gebu.
Liu Xun was overjoyed, and both inside and outside congratulated him. Only Liu Ye disapproved. Liu Xun asked him why, and Liu Ye said: “Shang Liao is small, but the castle is strong, the trench is deep and wide, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and will not be conquered within ten days. The army is trapped under the strong city and the rear is empty. After attacking us, it is difficult to defend himself. In this way, the general cannot enter the enemy city, retreat and become homeless. Therefore, if the army must go out, disaster will come today.” Liu Xun refused to listen, so he immediately sent troops to crusade. Shang Liao.
When the army arrived in Haifa, the leader of the sect heard the wind and all ran away, leaving only the empty city, and Liu Xun did not grab anything. In the expedition, the soldiers were exhausted and found nothing. At this time, Sun Ce led his troops to attack Huang Zu to the west and went to Shicheng. He heard that Liu Xun was in Haifa, so he assigned his cousins Sun Ben and Sun Fu to station 8,000 people in Pengze. He and Zhou Yu, also the prefect of Jiangxia County. Leading 20,000 people to attack Liu Xun’s base area, Wancheng, conquered the city, and captured the families of Yuan Shu and Liu Xun, as well as more than 30,000 people in the trilogy.
Sun Ce recommended Li Shu from Runan as the prefect of Lujiang County. He allocated 3,000 soldiers to guard the city of Anhui, and moved the rest of the captured people to Wu County under his control. Liu Xun led his army back to Pengze, where he was intercepted by Sun Ben and Sun Fu and was defeated. Liu Xun retreated to Liuyi and asked Huang Zu for help. Huang Zu sent his son Huang Shot to assist Liu Xun at the rate of five thousand navy soldiers. Sun Ce came to attack Liu Xun again. Liu Xun was defeated and went west to Mu Liubiao in Jingzhou. Huang She also escaped. After this battle, Sun Ce finally captured the land of Lujiang County.
Sun Ce recruited more than 2,000 soldiers under Liu Xun, captured 1,000 ships, and took advantage of the momentum to attack Huang Zu. On the eighth day of November, Sun Ce marched to Shaxian. Liu Biao sent his nephew Liu Hu and general Nanyang Han Xi to lead 5,000 soldiers armed with spears to rescue Huang Zu. On the 11th, during the battle between the two armies, Sun Ce led Zhou Yu, Lu Fan, Cheng Pu, Sun Quan, Han Dang, and Huang Gai to attack the Huang Zu army at the same time. Finally, Huang Zu escaped alone. A total of seven of his wives and children were captured by Sun Ce. Liu Hu and Han More than 20,000 people in Xibing were killed, more than 10,000 people drowned after diving, and more than 6,000 warships were captured by Sun Ce. The property piled up like a mountain. In this battle, Sun Ce captured Lujiang.
