Wujun.
Sun Quan was filial piety, and Jiangdong could not be without people, so Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao took on this responsibility.
But Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao are a bit similar, but not exactly the same.
Many people in later generations said that Zhang Zhao was a surrender faction, but they were very disdainful of Zhang Zhao. However, in fact, in Jiangdong, Zhang Zhao had a high prestige, and the so-called surrender faction was just a God's perspective from the long river of history by later generations. If they really entered the game, they might see different situations.
Sun Ce trusted Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao very much, and could even be regarded as entrusting Jiangdong affairs to Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao, some of which were like ministers of life. In this regard, Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao both had the authority to plan strategies and safeguard the overall interests of Jiangdong, and also had the responsibility of urging Sun Quan to follow the "right path".
However, Zhou Yu rarely gives direct advice to Sun Quan. Most of the time he visits privately and indirectly, while Zhang Zhao is different. In many cases, Zhang Zhao is basically similar to Sun Quan's teacher commander, but Sun Quan's stupidity is somewhat rebellious, one is not convinced, the other is not convinced, and after one fight, he will make up and then make up, and will make up for his whole life.
This is something that Zhang Zhao can know from his self-sentences after Sun Quan later proclaimed himself King of Wu. "In the past, the Queen Mother, King Huan did not take his old ministers as his majesty, but his majesty to his old ministers, so he thought about his integrity and repays his kindness. After the loss, he could be described, but his intentions were shallow and short, disobeyed the orders of great power, and divided himself into seclusion, abandoned the ravines, and did not seek to be introduced again, so he could serve the country. However, the foolish mind was to serve the country, and he was determined to be loyal and beneficial, and he was only able to complete his life. If he changed his mind and thoughts, he would be able to gain favor by stealing honor and gaining favor, this is what the minister could not."
In other words, in Zhang Zhao's heart, he felt that his burden was very heavy.
Zhang Zhao positioned himself as Sun Quan’s teacher, or an elder in another sense.
So when I saw that Sun Quan was not in personnel affairs and as an elder, would I have to persuade him?
Of course, we need to persuade, and we should speak directly in person with confidence.
Then Sun Quan had an additional "teacher". He was late and was told, skipped classes, and even occasionally smoked cigarettes and drank a small wine. He was said clearly, and Sun Quan had to lower his head to say that he was wrong before he could give up. Would it be annoying to others?
Sun Quan still knows some things, otherwise he would be like those fools in later generations...
However, Sun Quan couldn't help it. Another time, Sun Quan was so angry that he used soil to seal off all Zhang Zhao's door, saying that Zhang Zhao would never come out for the rest of his life!
As a result, Zhang Zhao even asked someone to seal the door from the inside with soil, indicating that since he couldn't say it, he couldn't come out!
Sun Quan had no choice but to let someone scatter the soil outside.
Zhang Zhao still won't come out.
Sun Quan jumped and ordered someone to burn the door.
Zhang Zhao still won't come out...
In the end, Sun Quan cried out in anger, so he had to put out the fire and waited at the door until Zhang Zhao's son pulled Zhang Zhao out, and the farce between both sides came to an end.
"Zhao Ke is harsh and powerful. Quan often said, "I dare not be rude to Zhang Gong." All the people feared him." This is that everyone from Jiangdong admired and respected Zhang Zhao. This is that Sun Quan was already full of wings. When Zhang Zhao was old, Sun Quan still expressed his respect for Zhang Zhao. The king and his ministers quarreled for the rest of their lives and supported each other for the rest of their lives. So simply saying that Zhang Zhao surrendered when Cao Cao went south, he said that Zhang Zhao was a wolf-hearted and a dog-hearted person, which was a very evil. It was a bit too much. It was like many things. Many people must look at them in a comprehensive way, and they cannot simply say that they are good or bad.
Zhou Yu is now thinking about something, maybe it’s good or maybe it’s bad…
Zhou Yu was looking through the new documents with one hand, holding the other hand around his mouth and coughing twice.
Zhou Yu's body has never returned to its peak state. In a sense, it is not only Zhou Yu, but once a person gets sick after some years, he will weaken after getting sick, and it is basically impossible to recover. Just like a machine wears off, it will always make some noise when it is running.
Zhou Yu's machine has also been operating in Jiangdong for many years.
"Where did Zhou Youping go?" Zhou Yu asked.
"Report to the governor, it's almost time to calculate the time, and it's time to arrive at Peninsula Port."
Zhou Yu put down the writing in his hand, then narrowed his eyes slightly and looked into the distance.
In politics, there is only interests, no charity.
"Governor!" The soldiers from the hall reported, "The envoy of Lu is here."
Zhou Yu came to his senses and said, "Ask!"
Soon, Lu Su came into the hall and greeted Zhou Yu.
When Zhou Yu saw Lu Su, he led Lu Su to the side of the hall and faced the map of Jiangdong. "Look at Zi Jing, I want to move the soldiers from Wu County to Moling, but I wonder what Zi Jing has to say?"
Lu Su was stunned for a moment, then asked in surprise: "But has there been a change in Jingzhou?"
Zhou Yu neither said yes nor said no. He just clicked on the map and repeated it, "What do you think Zijing thinks?"
Lu Su pondered, looking at the map, but did not answer immediately.
Zhou Yu did not urge him, and stood aside and watched on the map.
After a while, Lu Su said: "Governor... I'm afraid there will be many troubles when moving the army at this time..."
Although Sun Quan asked Zhou Yu to represent all military command at present, it was not a one or two day journey from Wujun to Moling, representing the directional adjustment and change of Jiangdong's political core and even the overall strategy.
Zhou Yu nodded, indicating that Lu Su was right.
Zhou Yu naturally knew this.
The political situation in Jiangdong has been unstable since Sun Ce was assassinated and Sun Quan succeeded to the throne.
Zhou Yu pointed on the map, "Kuaiji, Wujun, Danyang, Yuzhang, Luling... This is the place we control... As for the deep and dangerous places, it has not been followed... And the heroes in the world are all in a rapid and powerful way, covering the prefectures and counties, and the time is too late..."
Lu Su was silent. In fact, it was not only external reasons, but also internal to the Sun family, but also had many contradictions.
In history, after Cao Cao annexed Yuan Shu, he began to covet the six counties of Jiangdong. After hearing that Sun Ce was dead, Cao Cao wanted to "attack Wu due to the demise". After Sun Quan received the information, he was very panicked and sent envoys to Xu County to kneel down. According to historical records, when Gu Hui visited Cao Cao, he "could deal with Wanshun", but he also bluffed and over-promoted the stability of the situation in Jiangdong, so he was ridiculed and ridiculed by Cao Cao. In the end, Cao Cao had to worry about the north first, so he did not send troops to attack Jiangdong when Sun Ce died.
And the current line is actually similar, it is just Cao Cao's concerns, which have moved from Yuan Shao to Fei Qian. Guanzhong is right beside Cao Cao's bed, and the threat is far greater than that of Jiangdong. Moreover, Cao Cao's current naval army has only the remnants of Jingzhou, and it is not as costly as the 100,000 Jingxiang soldiers in history, so it is still a bit difficult to cross the river to fight. So overall, Cao Cao did not target Jiangdong specifically at the moment.
At the same time, in order to show his trust and sincerity for Sun Quan, Cao Cao not only acquiesced to trade with Jiangdong in a limited area, but also gave Sun Quan a reward under the name of the emperor.
This gave Sun Quan more time and energy to focus on the contradictions within Jiangdong.
Zhou Yu's eyes fell on Wujun on the map...
Wujun is located in the center of the Taihu Plain. It was the capital of Wujun in the Qin and Han Dynasties. It was also the place where Sun Jian’s ancestors served in official positions. However, the ancestors were ancestors, and Liu Bei could also say that the entire Han Dynasty belonged to his ancestors.
Jiangdong currently has Wujun as its core focus, which actually continues Sun Ce's strategy at that time. Sun Ce led the army to cross the river to make a strategy. His confidant Zhu Zhi was the commander of Wujun at that time. He actively cooperated with the cooperation to defeat Xu Gong, the prefect of Wujun at that time. After that, Sun Ce used Wuxian as the ruling center, and his family's small relatives also lived there.
After Sun Quan came to power, he still used Wu County as his capital. The main force of the Jiangdong army also followed Sun Quan to station near Wu County, went out to war and returned after the matter. Is there any benefit in this model? Yes, but the same also brings disadvantages.
The most direct and obvious disadvantage is that the space in Wujun is too small, which leads to constant internal strife. Is Wujun a good place? It is indeed, since the Spring and Autumn Period and Chu State, this place is a land of fish and rice. The warm climate and the fertile soil in the downstream are a good place for farming and fishing without worrying about irrigation.
But the problem is that the Han Dynasty is not large in the alluvial plains in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. In later generations, such as Nantong, Qidong, and even Chongming Island, they are still soaked in the water or nurturing, so the space in Wujun to the east is not very large.
Without room for development, the cake is so big. Of course, if you eat more, I will eat less. The conflicts in Jiangdong some time ago have intensified. There are many factors, but the struggle of land is never a big problem that cannot be avoided.
Lu Su is a young strategist in Jiangdong. Well, it can't be considered very young, but it's younger than Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong. Lu Su once proposed a grand strategy of laying out Jiangdong, stabilizing the rear, and then seeking development. Now Zhou Yu needs to adjust his layout, so naturally he needs to communicate with Lu Su first.
At first, when Lu Su came to Jiangdong, Sun Ce did not favor him, so that Lu Su once wanted to return to Jiangbei, but was stopped by Zhou Yu, which was quite like Xiao He chasing Han Xin under the moon. Then the strategy proposed by Lu Su at that time was somewhat different from Zhang Hong's strategy at that time...
Is Zhang Hong's suggestion that after conquering Jiangdong, he sent troops to the north, eliminated warlords from all over the country, and controlled Emperor Xian of Han.
But it was also because of Zhang Hong's strategy that Sun Ce's death eventually led to the death of Sun Ce.
Because we were going north, we must have food, grass, and utensils. The situation in Jiangdong was not stable at that time, and Sun Ce was very anxious. He couldn't talk about it for a few words, so he picked up the knife and wanted to threaten these Jiangdong clans. What was the result?
At first, Sun Quan also inherited Sun Ce's last wish and had some ideas about Emperor Liu Xie, but Lu Su clearly told Sun Quan that this proposal was difficult to achieve. He then put forward his own suggestions, saying that "only to compete with Jiangdong to observe the world's provocations." We must first take steady steps, base ourselves on Jiangdong, observe and wait for changes in the national military and political situation, and then make decisions.
And it is not just waiting and watching. He can take advantage of the opportunity to attack Jingzhou and control the upper and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and then become the foundation of the emperor. Sun Quan deeply agreed. Although he did not say that he would become "Emperor Sun" in the future, he promoted and rewarded Lu Su despite his opposition. "Zhang Zhao was not as humble as Su, and he destroyed him. Yun Su was young and rough and unusable. He did not mind, and he valued him more and more. He gave Su's mother clothes, curtains, and miscellaneous things to live in, making him rich. "
Under the influence of such a strategy, Sun Quan did achieve good results. The invasion of Lujiang, Jiangxia, and Jingnan can be said to be the result of this grand strategy. However, with the expansion of the front line, the original focus of defense in Wujun was a little lost. Although Sun Quan asked Zhou Yu to station in Chaisang, Chaisang's troops were basically only defense. It would be difficult to attack.
Cao Cao was adjacent to Sun Quan in Jiangbei, and spanned Jingnan, Jiujiang, Lujiang, Guangling and other counties from east to west. The troops deployed by Sun Quan in the face of these counties also differed. The defense line was focused on the south of the Yangtze River, or the outposts were established in Jiangbei.
The most important of the above three counties is Jiujiang County, which guards the important water and land routes from the Central Plains to Jiangdong.
The waterways connecting the Jianghuai River mainly go from Feikou on the south bank of the Huai River, Shuofeishui goes south, through Shouchun, and through the Jianghuai hills to Hefei. That is, the new city built and stationed by Cao Cao, then goes south to Chaohu Lake through Shishui, and goes south from Ruxushui at the east entrance of Chaohu Lake to Ruxushui enters the river. There are also land routes along the way, which can advance water and land to protect each other.
You can also go east from Juchao at the east entrance of Chaohu Lake to pass through Xiaoxian Mountain, and land to Liyang, cross the river in Hengjiangjin to Niuzhu on the other side. Niuzhu is also garrisoned by Sun Quan Water Village, and most of the new recruits of Sun Quan's naval army are trained here.
In the Lujiang area, Sun Quan adopted a strategy to plunder and abandon the Lujiang area in the north of the Yangtze River and use it as a buffer zone. In fact, in the Lujiang area in the north of the Yangtze River, rivers and lakes are spread out, Anhui water dives south and flows into the Yangtze River, forming a fertile alluvial plain nearby. Due to the warm climate, water sources and rainfall are quite abundant, which is very beneficial to the development of agriculture, but it is well connected and there is no danger to guard.
Therefore, Sun Quan also has outposts in this area and farms normally, but it is not the focus of defense. Once there is something, he will immediately evacuate the walls and clear the fields. The only defensive force is also placed on the port to ensure smooth communication between the east and west, and rely on the navy to defend.
After all, for Sun Wu, who was separating Jiangdong, the Yangtze River waterway is not only a natural barrier to defend against the enemy, but also a lifeline for the communication between the middle and lower reaches, and cannot be broken easily.
As for Guangling County on the side road, it is basically a buffer zone for Cao Cao and Sun Quan.
Due to frequent wars, the people's livelihood and army in Guangling County were repeatedly destroyed and have long been greatly weakened.
When Sun Ce was alive, he attempted to capture Guangling County to open the road to the northern Central Plains, but it was not successful. After Sun Quan took office, he focused his attention on Jiangxia and Jingzhou areas and adopted Lusu's "north defense and west attack" strategy. Guangling County gradually became marginalized until the last battle of Sun Quan's "surprise attack" Guangling...
However, this also led to the original strategic structure of "defending north and attacking west" beginning to deform.
Having stabbed Cao Cao once, could it be that he still expects Cao Cao not to hold grudges?
Although Sun Quan used troops this time to capture the city and plunder the population and wealth, the territory did not actually increase. Moreover, because Sun Quan broke the tacit understanding on the Guangling line, the original overall strategy of "defending north and attacking west" had to face adjustments, and he had to beware of the possible revenge of Cao Cao.
Under such circumstances, Zhou Yu proposed to move the troops of Wu County west to Moling for this purpose. You should know that Jiangdong had faced two families, one Liu Biao and one Cao Cao, but now it is completely bordering Cao Cao, and it may become a battlefield from west to east. It was originally deviated from the direction and focused more on Wu County in the rear, so it is not suitable for garrisoning troops.
If Cao Cao really provoked war in Nanjun, Jingzhou, would the soldiers of Wujun move or remain unmoved?
I moved, from the east to the west, not to mention the long journey, I might be threatened by Hefei New City halfway, and at the same time, the Guangling Line may also be attacked by Cao Cao...
If Cao Cao successfully controls Jingnan and then controls the Changsha area of ​​Jingzhou Nanjun, it will create strong pressure on Jiangdong on both sides. Even if Sun Quanneng and the Jiangdong gentry are in harmony, uh, if they reach an agreement, they may not be able to compete with the simultaneous attacks in several directions.
"Chaisang, stare at Jingnan, Hefei, Moling watches Jiujiang and Lujiang..." Zhou Yu lit on the map, "In this way, we can protect the river up and down, and serve as a supporter. No matter where we attack, we can rush to help within three days. With less and more, Jiangdong can be stable... Cough cough, cough cough...
Zhou Yu seemed to have said a little too much, and he started to cough.
"Come here! Get some water!"
Lu Su shouted quickly, then returned to the table with Zhou Yu, sat down again, and after thinking for a while, he said, "The Governor's concerns are certainly not bad. If he moved troops to Moling, it would be beneficial to Jiangdong's defense...but, the Governor, at this time, although the Governor was fully in power... Should he send someone to report to the lord..."
Lu Su is a man who is wise and stupid. He seems to be a little slow in everything, but his heart is more transparent than anything else.
How is Sun Quan like? Lu Su is not sure?
Even if Zhou Yu was re-mobilizing soldiers to set up defenses at the moment, it was considered by the entire Jiangdong defense system, but for Sun Quan, it was tantamount to Zhou Yu taking advantage of Sun Quan's absence to move Sun Quan's life. Among the soldiers around Wu County, the most types of soldiers are the most, of course, the basic base of Sun's family, and the Sun family veterans. In this way, he was adjusted to Moling, and there was no Sun's power in Wu County...
Thinking of this, Lu Su was stunned and looked at Zhou Yu, "Governor... Could it be..."
