Chapter 530: Layout of Jiangxia County! [Seeking Monthly Votes]
After everyone left, Li Yu leaned on the sofa and was about to take a break when Liu Xie, wearing a Spiderman T-shirt and shorts, walked into the study.
It was the middle of winter in the Three Kingdoms world, and water turned into ice, but the real world was the hottest time of the year. Every time Liu Xie came, he had to change his down jacket and cotton coat into summer clothes to avoid getting prickly heat.
Seeing that Li Yu was alone, Liu Xie asked:
"Sir, aren't the elders of the master's wife coming today?"
"Yes, they just had dinner and went out for a walk... They have seen the jade seal, you can take it back later, it's a waste to leave it in the B&B, it's better to leave it with you."
"Okay!"
Liu Xie opened the refrigerator, took out a chocolate from it, tore open the package and took a bite, and then said:
"Just now Xun Chen reported from Wancheng that Sun Ce asked him and Pang De to borrow troops, and promised to offer Jiangxia County to the court after killing Huang Zu, and then lead the troops to advance eastward. Once the court army arrived in Jiangdong, he would surrender... He also chose 076 as his intercom code."
It was the second half of the night in the Three Kingdoms world. Xun Chen contacted Chang'an as soon as he arrived at the radiation range of the Wancheng signal tower. After listening to the report, Liu Xie hurried to the real world.
Li Yu did not expect that the little tyrant who was appointed in a time of crisis did not establish himself:
"How true are his words?"
"Xun Chen thinks it should be the truth. Before the student came, he specially burned incense in front of the statue of Zhang Tianshi and asked for divination by drawing lots, and got a very good lot."
A very good lot?
It seems that Lao Zhang has already recognized this matter.
I really did not expect that Lu Bu, who was originally a slutty operation to take advantage, actually became the righteous and righteous Uncle Lu in Sun Ce's eyes.
If Sun Ce can return to his heart, the process of unifying the Han Dynasty will be faster.
In the future, he can also lead his troops to Japan to show off his power and make the Jiangdong little tyrant become the Japanese little tyrant, or go to Southeast Asia and become the Nanyang little tyrant.
Liu Xie asked:
"Sir, Sun Ce will see the original work of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" sooner or later. When he finishes reading the whole book, will he have the idea of establishing himself again and start a rebellion?"
Li Yu did not know how to answer this question.
However, thinking of the series of breathtaking actions of Comrade Jerry after Sun Ce's death, Sun Ce would probably beat up his good brother after reading the original book.
Li Yu said:
"First influence him subtly, and wait until Lu Bu's army reaches the south bank of the Yangtze River, and then show him the original book. I believe he will make the right choice."
"If you don't show him the book for a lifetime, will it be better?"
Li Yu shook his head:
"No need, in case someone wants to use him to make trouble, and deliberately say some words in the book, it will have a greater impact on him... Zhou Yu can change himself after reading the original book, and he can definitely do it too."
The reason why Sun Ce wanted to establish himself in the original book was because Sun Jian got the jade seal, and after Sun Jian died, Sun Ce kept it for at least two years.
After such a long time, even a fool would have the idea of destiny.
Now that Lu Bu has intercepted the jade seal in advance, the Sun family has never encountered this thing, and Sun Jian regarded himself as a loyal minister until his death.
In this case, Sun Ce's idea of independence should be much less, or even nonexistent.
Of course, no matter what, we should still be on guard. When Lu Bu sees Sun Ce, he should ask him to swear in front of Lao Zhang's statue as soon as possible to register first.
If Sun Ce can become a loyal minister and good general of the court, then the talents originally belonging to Jiangdong can be recruited.
For example, Jinfan Thief Gan Ning, this guy who was born a bandit, should have abandoned the bandit and become a minor official in Shu County according to the timeline.
After Liu Yan died, he had become a clerk with a rank of 600 stones.
Unfortunately, Liu Zhang was weak and did not like Gan Ning's temper. This guy simply went east along the Yangtze River to seek a wise master.
First, he surrendered to Liu Biao, but Liu Biao, who only liked scholars, let him go when he heard that he was a bandit. Then he went to Huang Zu, but Huang Zu, who was born in the Anlu Huang family, still did not like him.
Even though he shot Ling Cao to death and made great contributions, Huang Zu did not express any opinion. Instead, he secretly sent people to incite Gan Ning's brothers who followed him from Shu County to rebel.
This bandit who was despised by the gentry in Jingzhou was a master of both naval and land warfare.
The intercom code 076 was originally prepared for him, but Sun Ce intervened and took away this number representing amphibious warfare.
After Lu Bu found Gan Ning in Yizhou, he had to choose a new code.
In addition to Gan Ning, more than half of the twelve cats in Jiangdong have not appeared, and there is no trace of the two civil officials. They should all be from the court by then.
Of course, it is also possible that they may surrender to other powerful families in Jiangdong and then be eliminated by the court army.
In the original work, the little tyrant Sun Ce had to toss for five or six years, and he had to pull and beat them, which was considered to make the Jiangdong powerful families more obedient. Now that the court directly intervenes, the resistance of these powerful families may be more intense.
After all, Sun Ce just wants them to be obedient, but the imperial court wants to seize their land and dig up their roots.
Let's consider Yizhou and Yuan Shao and Cao Cao first... Li Yu rubbed his temples. He also drank a few cups with his elders at noon. Now he was a little sleepy because of the alcohol.
He took a sip of the slightly cold tea on the table, and Liu Xie beside him quickly refilled the hot tea:
"Sir, after Jiangxia County is in hand, how should I govern it?"
Li Yu thought for a while and said:
"Find a minister with a higher official position in the court to go there, so as not to be unable to suppress the Anlu Huang family... Doesn't Zhou Yu have a cousin working in the court?"
"Yes, his name is Zhou Zhong, and he is Zhou Yu's cousin."
Cousin is a name for relatives in the Han Dynasty, which roughly means the son of a grandfather's brother. He is called a cousin, which is one level further than a cousin.
Among peers, those with the same father are brothers, those with the same grandfather are cousins, and those with the same great-grandfather are cousins... and except for the five mournings, they are further cousins or clan brothers.
"What is Zhou Zhong's position?"
"He was Guanglu Dafu earlier, and recently he is planned to be one of the nine ministers, the Grand Minister of Agriculture."
The Grand Minister of Agriculture is an official position in charge of finance among the nine ministers, and his functions overlap with those of the Minister of Works. However, the court now has a more detailed Ministry of Revenue, and the Minister of Works and the Grand Minister of Agriculture are both turning to nominal positions.
As Zhou Yu's own family, and the Zhou family is a large family in Lujiang, Zhou Zhong is more suitable to be in charge of Jiangxia.
Liu Xie reacted as soon as he heard Li Yu's words:
"Once we receive the war report from Wancheng, I will appoint Zhou Zhong as the governor of Jiangxia and the governor of the county. If he can quickly clear the entire county of Jiangxia, I will give him the title of Marquis of Mianchi Pavilion."
On the surface, it seems that a high-ranking official of the Nine Ministers was demoted to be the governor, but the title of Marquis of Mianchi Pavilion was immediately restored. In addition, there is a Marquis of Mianchi Pavilion waiting in the future. I guess Comrade Zhou will be grateful for a while.
The marquis of the Han Dynasty, from low to high, were Guannei Marquis, Duting Marquis, Ting Marquis, Duxiang Marquis, Xiang Marquis, and Xian Marquis. If Zhou Zhong could obtain the title of Marquis of Mianchi Pavilion, his status in the family would immediately become transcendent.
Among the celebrities in the Three Kingdoms period, there were quite a few who obtained the title of Marquis of Pavilion, such as Hanshou Pavilion Marquis of Lao Guan, Yicheng Pavilion Marquis of Liu Bei, Wansui Pavilion Marquis of Xun Yu, Yishou Pavilion Marquis of Yu Jin, Lingshu Pavilion Marquis of Xun You, Weiyang Pavilion Marquis of Guo Jia, etc.
Those who can obtain the title of Dutinghou or above alive are all people who have made great contributions.
From this perspective, it is really amazing that Lu Bu can obtain the title of County Marquis. This is also the reason why Cao Cao could not behead him on the White Gate Tower. His rank is too high, one level higher than the titles of all the people present.
Cao Cao had no choice but to strangle him to death in the way he dealt with the nobles, and then beheaded him for public display.
In the original novel, Lao Guan was captured alive by Sun Quan, but he did not think he would be beheaded because he had the title of the Han Dynasty. Everyone was a marquis. At most, he would pay some land in exchange, and then apologize and make amends when he saw his elder brother.
As a result, Sun Quan did not follow the moral principles of martial arts and killed Lao Guan right away, changing the course of history.
Liu Xie asked:
"After Huang Zu's death, the Anlu Huang family will definitely be in turmoil. If it is not handled properly, Jiangxia may fall into civil strife."
The Anlu Huang family really needs to be considered. Li Yu was looking through the famous people with the surname Huang in the Three Kingdoms period with his mobile phone, and suddenly saw a name that did not play many roles in the original novel - Huang Kui.
Huang Kui is an original character in Romance of the Three Kingdoms. He is the son of Huang Wan and the direct descendant of the Anlu Huang family.
In the original novel, Huang Kui secretly mixed with Ma Teng, who was summoned to Beijing, and prepared to rebel and kill Cao. However, Huang Kui's concubine Li Chunxiang had an affair with Huang Kui's brother-in-law Miao Ze and secretly told Miao Ze about it.
Miao Ze reported to Cao Cao, and all the hundreds of people in Huang Kui's family and Ma Teng's family were beheaded, leaving no one alive.
Miao Ze, who had made a contribution, asked Cao Cao to marry Li Chunxiang, but Cao thought this guy was too unkind and unjust, so he simply beheaded the adulterer and the adulteress together, out of sight, out of mind.
"What position does Huang Kui hold now?"
"He is a Langguan with a rank of 400 stones under Guanglu Xun, and he has nothing to do every day."
"Then let him go to Jiangxia and serve as a longshi for Zhou Zhong, and use his status as a direct descendant of the Huang family to ease the emotions of Huang Zu's family."
Liu Xie's eyes lit up:
"Sir, with such arrangements, Jiangxia will definitely be worry-free!"
Li Yu smiled and said:
"Compared with the internal problems of Jiangxia, we should also consider the external situation. As soon as Sun Ce took over Jiangxia County, it is estimated that Yuan Shu will send troops to occupy it. Liu Biao is also not at peace, and it is certain that There will definitely be some action. "
"Mr. Wenhe has visited Huang Gai twice recently. This general beside Sun Jian has obtained the approval of Mrs. Wu to serve as an official in the court. If he is willing, I plan to appoint him as the county Sima of Jiangxia or the commander of Jiangxia to lead the troops of Jiangxia. If Yuan Shu sends troops, I believe General Huang will be happy to smash his head. "
Damn, Jia Xu is awesome. Sun Ce sent Huang Gai to Chang'an to protect his family, but Old Jia turned this general who likes to be whipped against him with just a few words.
Awesome, Jia Xu at full power is really different.
The master and apprentice were chatting when Mu Guiying came in stealthily. Seeing that the elders were not there, she took the fruit plate on the table and grabbed a handful of grapes to stuff into her mouth, intending to eat something to calm her nerves.
Liu Xie asked:
"Didn't Third Master's Wife have enough for lunch?"
"I ate enough, but I was a little hungry after leading the cavalry in training for two rounds... Husband, are you and Sister Zhou going to get engaged?"
"Yes, we'll get engaged the day after tomorrow at noon."
Mu Guiying asked:
"Do we need to bring gifts to the banquet?"
"No need to bring gifts. Just go with you if you want to eat that day. Neither of our families cares about these. We'll make a big deal when we get married, and have a Hanfu wedding."
I hope that by then, my mother and godmother can come out of the book world and attend the wedding.
Mu Guiying sat cross-legged on the sofa and put the fruit plate on her legs:
"Do you have any other plans after you get engaged?"
Seeing her expectant look, Li Yu patted his head and said with a smile:
"When the time comes, I'll let Zhang Daoling and Taibai Jinxing go to your father to propose marriage, and settle our marriage... By the way, will the old village chief Mu drive them out?"
"Ha, no, my dad has a vegetable garden now. When he's not busy, he listens to music and secretly learns square dancing."
Good guy, Mu Yu completely regards himself as a retired veteran.
When several people were chatting in the study, it was already four o'clock in the morning in Jiangxia County of the Three Kingdoms world.
In a forest outside Huang Zu's camp, Sun Ce squatted on the ground, and Hou Cheng beside him operated the drone, and had a complete understanding of the situation of the entire camp.
"Okay, the front and back gates of the entire camp will be in chaos after the gasoline is sprinkled. We must make a good layout in advance."
Sun Ce came over to look at the map and said to Cheng Pu:
"Mr. Cheng led a thousand cavalry to guard the back door. Once they see Huang Zu, they must intercept him. If he runs into Xiling County, it will be very difficult to take revenge."
"Don't worry, young master, I will capture Huang Zu alive and avenge my lord!"
There are at least 30,000 troops in Huang Zu's camp. It is difficult to annihilate them all by robbing the camp, so we have to find a way to make them chaotic.
Sun Ce thought about it and planned to lead his army into the enemy camp himself. Hou Cheng controlled the drone to support and try to prevent the Jiangxia army from stopping the counterattack, and then they could fight slowly.
Soon, a strategy was formulated. With the help of modern equipment such as drone walkie-talkies, this night attack had a better chance of success.
Everyone took advantage of the night to enter the predetermined attack position. Two super-large firefighting drones took off, carrying gasoline to the sky above the Jiangxia army camp, and began to sprinkle gasoline on the haystacks near the general's tent and the stable.
Many torches were set off in the camp, and gasoline fell like raindrops and was ignited all at once. The whole camp immediately burned fiercely.
Sun Ce rode a warhorse and rushed to the camp first with the Overlord Spear.
When he was about to reach the camp gate, he put on night vision goggles, picked up the steel crossbow, aimed at the guard in the arrow tower and pulled the trigger.
The steel crossbow arrow flew over with a whoosh and pierced the guard's head.
Sun Ce's personal soldiers took the hooks and pulled the barricades at the camp gate aside. Two Wancheng soldiers holding flamethrowers immediately joined and started to set fire to the camp gate, forcing the defenders inside to retreat.
As soon as he got some gaps, Sun Ce rushed into the camp first, deliberately picking officers with complete armor to kill, so that Huang Zu could not organize an effective counterattack in the first time.
At this time, the camp was already in chaos. Sun Ce led more than a thousand troops and three thousand Wancheng troops to kill in.
The Sun family's troops had played a friendly match with the Bingzhou army led by Lu Bu at Hulao Pass, but they were almost slaughtered by the Bingzhou army that could not control their strength.
Since then, they have had a strong psychological shadow on the Bingzhou army.
The current court army was formed on the basis of the Bingzhou army at that time. Now that they can fight side by side, Sun Ce's troops are eager to fight.
They were beaten by the Bingzhou army before and had no power to fight back. Now it's time to let the soldiers of Jiangxia feel the taste of despair!
While Sun Ce was showing off his killing skills, Hou Cheng saw the situation at the stable through the drone and quickly contacted the captain of Wancheng:
"The Cavalry Battalion should hurry to the stable. Jiangxia has few horses. Try to take all the horses away... Pay attention to the burning haystack. Don't set the granary on fire. These grains are very useful and cannot be wasted."
Under the guidance of Lu Bu, the whole army is now more capable of living. The previous practice of burning grains and grass during the war has now been completely eliminated. Even if they set fire, they only set a haystack to help with the fun, and the grains must not be touched.
After the drone returned, Hou Cheng filled it with gasoline and set fire around the back door to prevent the Jiangxia army from escaping in batches, which would increase the difficulty of the next attack on Xiling City.
After doing this, the next step is to reap the fruits of the battle.
The soldiers of Wancheng have undergone overnight combat training. They wear brand new steel armor, hold sophisticated weapons, and fight in groups.
In a melee, once they disperse, they are easily killed. But if they form a group, the sword and shield soldiers are responsible for defense, the spearmen are responsible for stabbing, and the archers are responsible for long-range harvesting. Everyone cooperates with each other and can quickly open up the situation.
The killed party will feel that there are enemies everywhere and no place is safe, and fall into more disorderly chaos.
In ancient wars, as long as chaos breaks out, it is basically equal to defeat.
Sun Ce was killing, and Hou Cheng's voice came from the headset:
"In the barracks on the left, Huang Zu led his personal soldiers to kill, intending to lift the barracks fence and escape to Xiling. Bo Fu can lead people to block his way."
"Thank you, Brother Hou, for your advice!"
I didn't expect the walkie-talkie to be so easy to use. Sun Ce clumsily pressed the answer button to thank him, and then led the blood-thirsty personal soldiers to chase in the direction of Huang Zu's escape.
Under Hou Cheng's aerial command, Sun Ce quickly caught up with Huang Zu who had just escaped from the camp.
"Huang Zu, don't run away, save your life!"
Hearing the shout, Hou Cheng couldn't help but slap his forehead. This guy is really an honest kid. Why are you shouting? Just lead people to chase after you at full speed. Huang Zu might think you are one of his own.
Now, this shout immediately increased Huang Zu's speed by 20% and his vigilance by 50%.
He still has too little experience in fighting enemies. I will teach him more when I go back.
Sure enough, hearing Sun Ce's voice, Huang Zu grabbed the whip and whipped the horse's butt hard, and deliberately lowered his body to reduce the probability of being hit by arrows.
There was a forest not far away. He thought that as long as he rushed in, relying on the darkness, he should not be caught up.
However, Huang Zu could never have thought that Sun Ce had quietly put on night vision goggles.
Sir, the times have changed... Hou Cheng shouted in his heart, and contacted Cheng Pu with the intercom, asking him to lead the cavalry to come to support.
After receiving the intelligence, Cheng Pu immediately led the cavalry to kill, and he and Sun Ce surrounded Huang Zu.
Seeing this, several generals under Huang Zu immediately chose to break through, but in the dark, they could not see the situation clearly, and were stabbed to death one by one by Sun Ce wearing night vision goggles.
"Sun's son, the two armies are fighting for their respective masters..."
Before Huang Zu finished speaking, he was stabbed in the stomach by Sun Ce holding the Overlord Spear, and fell off the horse.
Sun Ce got off the horse, silently cut off Huang Zu's head, took off the night vision goggles, and his eyes were already full of tears. He held Huang Zu's head and knelt down in the direction of Sun Jian's death:
"Dad, your son has avenged you!"
