Sun Quan will not accommodate Liu Bei!
If he accepted the power from Liu Bei, he would definitely be very happy. But taking in Liu Bei? Sun Quan was not willing to do that kind of thing that would endanger a tiger. Remember when Tao Qian invited Liu Bei, but ended up giving Xuzhou to Liu Bei; Liu Biao accepted Liu Bei
, but it caused Jingzhou to suddenly become torn apart.
This was a very ambitious guy, and Sun Quan had to seriously consider it.
However, if he was asked to take over Changsha County, Sun Quan would have no choice but to...
You must know that two generations of the Sun family, father and son, have never stopped longing for Jingzhou. Since Sun Quan succeeded to the throne, although he tried his best to restrain his ambitions, his ambitions for the nine counties of Jingxiang have become more and more intense. Only
However, due to Cao Cao, Sun Quan had no chance to take action. Now Liu Bei has sent Changsha County up, which is undoubtedly a huge temptation for Sun Quan. With Changsha County, he can not only further expand his territory in Jingnan, but also let the Jiangdong Navy run rampant.
The river even extends to Yunmengze.
How could Sun Quan refuse such a huge temptation?
The strong man Liu Bei cut off his wrist and gave way to Changsha.
To be honest, it was a last resort. In the current situation, it was too difficult for him to gain a foothold in Jingzhou. Especially after the Wuxi barbarians surrendered to Cao Cao, Cao Cao was able to control part of the Wuling Mountain barbarians. Even if Liu Bei still had Fei in his hands.
Touman can be used, but he is still severely restrained.
In this case, Liu Bei had no choice but to give up Changsha and march westward to Bashu.
Maybe, someone will ask!
Since Liu Bei's character was so bad, how could Liu Zhang agree to let Liu Bei enter Sichuan?
In fact, when Liu Zhang invited Liu Bei to Sichuan, there was a fierce quarrel in Bashu. Many people did not agree to allow Liu Bei to enter Yizhou, but after repeated consideration, Liu Zhang decided to admit Liu Bei.
The situation in Sichuan is not optimistic.
With the flood of all kinds of bad currency, prices in Bashu have skyrocketed, and supplies have also become scarce.
Cao Peng's strategy for Yizhou is similar to the strategy of the United States in later generations. I spend money and purchase various resources as reserves. When you are short of resources, I will be able to control most of the resources.
Xichuan, the land of abundance!
But if we say we are rich in materials, we are speaking relatively.
Cao Peng continued to increase trade with Bashu through various caravans affiliated with the Hexi Chamber of Commerce.
At the same time, the northern currency was unified and bad currency was prevented from circulating.
This situation resulted in Xichuan's currency continuing to depreciate. Even if Liu Zhang made adjustments at the beginning of the year, the effect was not obvious. The most frightening thing is that the northern currency continues to penetrate into Xichuan.
It is not easy to create a beautifully crafted Jian'an treasure.
Unless the government uniformly distributes the Jian'an Chongbao, if the Jian'an Chongbao is cast privately, not to mention whether it can be made well, but the labor cost will probably exceed the value of the Jian'an Chongbao itself. As a result, the Jian'an Chongbao gradually began to replace the Han Five that was popular in Xichuan.
The baht became a hard currency. Even if Liu Zhang had the intention to stop it, the corruption of the market left him helpless and helplessly watched the people's livelihood in Xichuan face collapse.
Under this situation, Nanman, who originally had a good relationship with Liu Zhang, began to have commotion...
The four counties in Nanzhong are places where Han people and indigenous people live together.
Yong Kai, a powerful man in the south, was ambitious. Taking advantage of the chaos in Xichuan, he united with the governor of Zangda, Gao Ding, the indigenous chief of Yuexi, and Meng Huo, a powerful man in the south. They openly declared that rejecting Liu Zhang's decree was tantamount to independence.
Meng Huo was quite famous in Nanzhong.
Whether among the Han people or the indigenous people, he is very trustworthy.
At the beginning of the 13th year of Jian'an, Meng Huo secretly rebelled against the local indigenous people. The masters of the thirty-six caves in Nanzhong rose up at the same time, proclaimed themselves kings, and broke away from the jurisdiction of Xichuan. Under Meng Huo's instigation, they launched repeated attacks to test Liu Zhang's bottom line.
Under such circumstances, a huge crisis has arisen in Xichuan. Economic corruption, the threat of the Southern Barbarians... Liu Zhang and his son have notified Xichuan for more than 20 years, and they are facing a huge crisis that has never happened before.
People's hearts are floating and prices are soaring!
Zhang Lu of Hanzhong was also eyeing the enemy and tried to launch an attack on Xichuan.
Under the internal and external troubles, Liu Zhang was unable to cope with it. At this time, Liu Bei also faced a crisis.
So someone suggested to Liu Zhang: If Liu Bei cannot live in Jingnan, why not let him go to Sichuan and garrison Yuexi County to resist the southern barbarians?
At that time, Yizhou was engaged in Huang Quan, but he persuaded Liu Zhang: "Liu Bei is a powerful man, and his ambitions should not be taken lightly. When he was desperate, Liu Biao took him in. But this man was in Jingzhou, but he bought people's hearts, won over Liu Biao's important officials, and gained control of Jingzhou's internal affairs.
, the situation was in chaos. Otherwise, how could Cao Cao capture Jingxiang without losing any blood?
If we invite this person to Sichuan now, I am afraid that Xichuan will be in danger.
The lord needs to think twice. Although Xichuan is now in some chaos, it is not ungovernable. At the beginning of the year, the lord ordered Liu Ba to serve as an official and take over the affairs of Xichuan. Although he did not make any achievements, it was more or less calm.
Under such circumstances, inviting Liu Bei to Sichuan is tantamount to inviting a wolf into the house, so the Lord must not be careful."
Huang Quan, courtesy name Gongheng, was from Langzhong, Brazil.
Historically, he first served Liu Bei, then surrendered to Cao Wei and became a general of chariots and cavalry.
At this time, Huang Quan was the chief secretary of Liu Zhang, so he naturally tried his best to persuade Liu Bei and tried to prevent Liu Bei from entering Sichuan.
Liu Zhang was moved after listening to Huang Quan's persuasion!
Yes, Liu Bei's reputation is not very good. Chaos will occur wherever he goes, which is really not reassuring.
Originally Liu Zhang had given up on this idea, but unexpectedly his son-in-law Fei Guan heard about it.
Fei Guan, named Bin Bo, was from Jiangxia, Jingzhou.
This person had a very close relationship with Liu Zhang. Liu Zhang's mother was Fei Guan's clan aunt. Fei Guan came to Sichuan when he was young, and Liu Zhang favored him, so he married his daughter to Fei Guan. Therefore, although Fei Guan was from Jingzhou,
But in Xichuan, he was quite prestigious and was favored by Liu Zhang. Shifei Guanzheng was young, not even 30 years old, and usually lived with his wife in the Prefectural Mufu. On this day Liu Zhang came home, looking sad.
Fei Guan stepped forward to ask.
Liu Zhang told Fei Guan his idea, "Wu Yi said that Liu Bei could be invited to Sichuan to resist the Southern Barbarians.
However, Huang Gongheng disagreed and believed that Liu Bei's entry into Sichuan was like inviting a wolf into the house.
I also know that Liu Bei has always been ambitious. But I have to admit that this man is indeed a good fighter. He repeatedly defeated Cao Cao, and it was not a crime of war. In fact, his strength is not as good as others. If he had guarded Nanzhong, he would have been better.
It makes me worry-free.”
Upon hearing this, Fei Guan immediately expressed his opinion.
"Liu Bei is a clan member of the Han Dynasty, and he and his father-in-law share the same clan.
Now that the Han Dynasty is in decline and my father-in-law is the chief minister, I should contact the Han clan clan members in order to revive the Han Dynasty in the future.
Liu Bei is now desperate.
If my father-in-law takes me in, I will be grateful. Besides, Nanzhong is desolate and cold, and most of them are indigenous barbarians. He is stationed in Nanzhong and has not much influence on my father-in-law. My father-in-law only needs to attack the water and land chokepoints to make this man
He was honest and did not dare to act rashly. I thought that sending Liu Bei to Sichuan now would not be a bad thing.
Huang Gongheng was from Xichuan.
Although he is talented, he is very territorial and rejects outsiders, making it difficult for Xichuan to let go of the old and adopt the new. In my opinion, he still has selfish motives. If Liu Bei enters Sichuan, I am afraid it will ruin his good deeds."
"Yeah?"
Liu Zhang was originally a person with soft ears.
Fei Guan was his son-in-law and a member of his mother's tribe, so he naturally had more faith in Fei Guan.
Under Fei Guan's persuasion, Liu Zhang finally agreed to invite Liu Bei to Sichuan. In order to avoid the opposition of Huang Quan and others, Liu Zhang suddenly issued an order three days later, appointing Huang Quan as the chief of Guanghan and transferring him from Chengdu to take up the post.
Later, Liu Zhang ordered his general Wu Yi to go to Changsha to welcome Liu Bei into Sichuan.
At this time, Liu Bei ordered Ma Liang to go to Jiangdong to discuss matters. Sun Quan was naturally very happy when he heard that Liu Bei was leaving Changsha. After discussing with Ma Liang, Sun Quan decided to give Liu Bei three thousand troops and horses, as well as countless supplies of food and grass. In return,
, Liu Bei gave up Changsha County, and when Cao Cao was ill, Sun Quan quickly captured Linxiang.
But Liu Bei, without realizing it, jumped out of Changsha County, led his troops and joined forces with Chen Dao in Youyang.
In early September of the 13th year of Jian'an, Cao Cao's navy and Jiangdong's navy clashed at the mouth of Sanjiang.
The Navy Commander-in-Chief, Cai Mao, made a mistake in his command, causing the Navy to suffer heavy losses. The Commander-in-Chief of the Jiangdong Navy burned the warships of the Jingzhou Navy, and beheaded Zhang Yun, the Deputy Commander of the Navy. The Jingzhou Navy suffered nearly one-third casualties...
The defeat of the navy is a trivial matter!
The most important thing is that after this battle, the Jiangdong navy opened the passage to Yunmengze and ran rampant on the river.
Cao's army lost the cover of the navy and was naturally at a disadvantage.
Although Du Ji later fought to the death to recapture Sanjiangkou, in terms of the overall situation, not much changed.
Cao Cao was ill and was furious when he learned that the navy had failed.
He finally made up his mind to take back control of the navy. So he ordered Xu Huang to lead his troops to capture Cai Mao in the navy camp and escort him back to Xiangyang. At the same time, Cao Cao ordered Gan Ning, the governor of Hefei, to serve as the commander-in-chief of the navy.
One position.
Who is Gan Ning?
The former Bajun Jinfan thief.
However, he was born under Cao Peng and had great military exploits.
