Zhang Fen is not a big shot, and Zhang Bai is not either. Compared with their father and brother, they are almost as transparent as they are. In the Jiangdong record, they are just a few strokes, or even one or two names.
No one likes to be a small person, and everyone thinks they will become a big person one day.
This day may never come.
But it is precisely because of these little people, and people who are smaller than those who are not even considered as characters, that the entire Three Kingdoms are constructed...
The four thief heads mentioned by Zhang Fen are Jin Qi, Mao Gan, Chen Pu, and Zu Shan.
That is, a small person.
When Liu Biao entered Jingzhou, he promoted the publication to Xiangyang alone, powerful enough, wise and brave enough, but in fact, Liu Biao just licked two families, the Cai family and the Kuai family. He first hooked up with the smaller Kuai family, and then used the name of Kuai family to marry the Cai family, and squeezed into the circle of the Jingzhou gentry as quickly as possible. Liu Biao, who had obtained support from the Kuai family in Jiangling and the Cai family in Xiangyang, was almost invincible.
The thief is almost the shrimps that are eaten among the small fish.
The shrimps are not the lowest level, because there are even lower aquatic plants and insects down.
There is a problem that many people may be attracted by Liu Biao's propaganda, forget or ignore a fact, why did the Kuai family say that the clan thief can be summoned and whispered, and wanted to let the clan thief come with a document and a verbal message? Then they set up an ambush and killed a bunch of clan thief leaders and gave the clan thief subordinates to Liu Biao as a gift for meeting. Why did the clan thief subordinates feel happy and would not be sad or retaliated for their boss being killed?
Therefore, a conclusion surfaced.
The sect thief was originally the dark side of the big family in Jingzhou, and he raised a dog!
Just like the Green Hair Sect was wailing and making a scene of arresting hawks and dogs, the big family who paid money and made money and asked the dog to go for a trip. Can the dog refuse? If something happens, the dog will be punished and will be given a lot of fur and flesh. Can the dog refuse?
The dark side of the wealthy Xiliang family is the horse thief.
The dark side of the big surname in Sichuan and Shu is the rice thief.
The people in Jingzhou are thieves.
In Jiangdong, it is naturally a bandit.
Jin Qi, Mao Gan, Chen Pu, and Zushan are the four major bandit leaders near Jiangdong.
Have a name and a surname, and look decent.
Of course, there are also some scattered bandit leaders, not even had their names and surnames. Anyway, at this point in time, the economy in Jiangdong may not have developed much, but the bandits have developed a lot. Among the people at the bottom, these bandit leaders are giants with sharp minions, while in the eyes of the upper class, these are just domesticated hawks.
In the Zhou general's mansion, the courtyards, buildings, flowers and plants stand solemnly, and the moonlight is like water.
Occasionally, the sound of footsteps of soldiers patrolling and the sound of gentle collisions of armor leaves added a bit of solemnity to the calm scenery.
In the flower hall, Zhou Yu and Lu Su sat opposite each other.
In the corner, there is a copper crane furnace with green smoke curling.
There seemed to be a little sound of piano coming from the backyard, subtle and ethereal.
Zhou Yu closed his eyes and listened quietly.
I don’t know how long it took, but after the piano sound fell and disappeared without a trace, Lu Su asked softly: “There are rumors about the four thieves now, how should we deal with it?”
Zhou Yu said: "Don't pay attention. This is mostly a complaint from the side branches, so each family will deal with it themselves. If the handling is not effective, don't blame the ruthless laws of the country..."
In Jiangdong, the clan has a great power. If you want to shut up alone, you don’t need to send someone from the official to arrest him.
Zhou Yu's judgment was correct. The sounds that came from Wujun were just caused by uneven internal organs in the clan. They only needed to deal with them by themselves, and these noises would disappear quickly.
As for the four thieves and so on, Zhou Yu didn't care about it at all. It's not that Zhou Yu underestimated the enemy, but that these thieves were not as good as the weather. Although they boasted that there were thousands or even tens of thousands of soldiers, in fact, they could only fight hundreds, at most, not more than two or three thousand.
Moreover, after the public is grievance and suffering, there will inevitably be people's anger that needs to be vented. At that time, these bandits will be the best targets of venting. Now we will deal with it early. Wouldn't it be bad if we really have nowhere to vent when the public is angry?
Lu Su nodded, "Governor, is it still not moving in the area of Wuling?"
Zhou Yu nodded, "Don't move."
Wuling was in ruins, and local county officials asked for help, and reported several times a day, like a pig about to be put on a slaughter platform, with a sarcastic howling sounds extremely shrill.
Zhou Yu didn't want to pay attention to it at all.
Wuling Mountain Barbarians are indeed a stubborn disease in Jiangdong. It is not difficult to defeat them, but it is too difficult to eradicate them.
At this time, Jiangdong needs to concentrate its main forces and march into Sichuan and Sichuan. As for the Wuling area, it can only be put first...
And according to the usual experience of the Wuling riots, although the momentum was rapid during the initial riots, it would soon be difficult to agree on the opinions of the various tribes and villages of the rebellious Wuling Mountain Manchus. Some people wanted to stop when they saw the good, some wanted to make another profit, some claimed to be brave and invincible in the world, some were worried about being revengeful in Jiangdong, and they would argue with each other, and then they would be like a sand tower, and when the water rushed, it would collapse with a loud bang.
The more you force Wuling, you may have to let these fools gather, well, the sand gathers closer...
What's more, most of the officials in the Wuling area are children of Jiangdong gentry, and they are also the channels for these big families to suck the blood and fat of the people. Now that they have been cut off, the ones who have suffered even greater damage are the big surnames in Jiangdong. Why bother to worry about these guys?
If you only care about making money and getting empty salary in your county, and make the soldiers in your county empty, then you should die if you can't stop the rebellion of Wuling Mountain Barbarians!
only……
This time, something seemed to be wrong with the rebellion of Wuling Mountain Barbarians.
Shamoko.
This name, which has appeared frequently in the Wuling area's urgent news recently, made Zhou Yu feel a little uneasy, but he couldn't figure out what it was for...
His health has been getting worse recently. The disease will not cause him to die immediately, but the pain is tormenting him every day and every second.
He doesn't want to die.
His body also doesn't want to die.
So whether it is his will or his body, he is struggling to fight against the virus, but he is unable to get the key. This disorder of the immune system in his body, as well as symptoms such as cough, runny nose, headache, soreness and weakness, are all invading Zhou Yu's vitality, and knocking Zhou Yu's spirit, making Zhou Yu increasingly inclined to simpler, direct, and even somewhat rough means.
Because he really didn't have enough energy to think too much, he could only focus on the things in front of him. As for the future...
A few years ago, Zhou Yu was still saying that Sun Quan was too anxious and asked Sun Quan to prepare for ten years or achieve the foundation of the Sun family in 20 years, because at that time, Zhou Yu also thought that he could live for twenty years or at least ten years, but now he does not have this confidence. He doesn't know whether he can survive next year.
The more you think, the more worried and uneasy you are, the more difficult it is to get rest and the weaker your body becomes.
This is a vicious cycle, like a bottomless abyss, gradually sliding down, and the faster it slips.
Just like a big man.
Like Jiangdong.
"Zhuobi Haotian, I would rather not be proud of me... Cough cough, cough cough cough..." Zhou Yu recited with some emotion, but I don't know if it was because the sound was too loud and too fast, or the airflow touched the trachea, causing him to cough again, and then it became more and more out of control.
"Governor!" Lu Su hurried forward, stroking Zhou Yu's back while calling the doctor.
The doctor who was on standby quickly came in, and the servant and maid surrounded him again.
Seeing this, Lu Su was about to leave, but Zhou Yu held him back.
『…』Lu Su was stunned, and then he knew that Zhou Yu had probably not finished his work, so he nodded and said, "I'll go to the next hall to wait..."
Zhou Yu then let go of his hand.
Lu Su temporarily left the flower hall, his heart full of worries.
Zhou Yu was very ill, and the same was true for Jiangdong.
For Jiangdong, the Jiangdong gentry family is a disease, and the Vietnamese barbarians in the mountains are also a disease, while the Sun regime has a congenital underdeveloped body, struggling hard and seeking a path to survival.
"Mr...." Xiao Qiao's crying sound came from the flower hall.
Lu Su sighed slightly.
『……The four peony trees, the swords are graceful. The chaos is not barbaric, and the country is not lost. The people are not rich, and the disaster is caused by the ashes. In the case of sorrow, the country is frequent. The country is not despised, and the heaven is not my general... The heaven is not my general..." Lu Su suddenly remembered the poem "Sang Rou" that Zhou Yu had recited before, and even chanted softly. His heart was filled with complex emotions, which filled his entire chest and made him feel very uncomfortable.
I don’t know how long it took, but the coughing sound gradually subsided, and then the doctor and servant gradually retreated.
A servant found Lu Su and bowed to invite him.
Lu Su sighed slightly and returned to the flower hall.
Everything seems to be no different from the original one.
It's just that there is a scent of medicine in the air...
"The governor needs more rest..." Lu Su whispered, "Is it okay to tell the story as long as possible?"
Zhou Yu nodded.
Lu Su didn't say nonsense and asked directly: "Then the two generals of Zigui Huang and Zhu..."
Zhou Yu pondered for a moment, then said, "The land of Sichuan and Shu is not the main place to fight... Jiangdong still needs to leave some troops to deal with the unexpected... Send the newly recruited soldiers to the place where Zigui Huangzhu, and the rest of the troops remain unmoved..."
This is Jiangdong's helplessness.
If Sichuan and Shu can be opened up, it will undoubtedly have a great promotion for Jiangdong. It will have great gains in both strategic depth and economic development. However, Jiangdong cannot attack Sichuan and Shu at all. It must retain at least half of its troops to deal with various problems in its basic base.
Lu Su should have paused for a while, and asked again: "If this is the case... the lord's place is also to remain unmoved?"
This sentence is a bit obscure, but the meaning is very clear.
During this period, Jiangdong's front line suffered setbacks and was tightly affected, while Jiangdong's rear was eating tacitly, with blood flowing between the teeth, and countless unjust souls swallowed.
The battle report of Huang Gai's attack had been reported to Zhou Yu, and he described the words and actions of Zhu Huan and Zhu Zhi and others in detail, and prepared the front-line military arrangements of Jiangdong. It can be said that Jiangdong's offensive momentum has temporarily stagnated. Although the entire strategy of attacking Sichuan and Shu did not clearly state anything, it can be seen that Huang Gai's confidence has declined slightly, not as confident as when he first set off.
Zhou Yu felt that the question about Zhuge Liang mentioned by Huang Gaixu seemed to be a bit too exaggerated.
Because concealment and lies are the generals' guild, more or less.
No matter how honest Huang Gai is, he cannot say that he is careless or that his strategy has loopholes. He can only say that Zhuge's little thief is too cunning and the enemy is too cunning...
For Zhou Yu, who can only use letters and war reports to understand the situation on the front line, he cannot take things lightly or be completely convinced. If he really does not care about the whole support of the front line, if there is any mistake in the basic foundation of Jiangdong and cannot be defeated before, is it equivalent to letting the Sun regime go directly to wander and get out of power?
So Zhou Yu could only use some materials and manpower as much as possible under such extremely complex and difficult circumstances...
Under the weak Jiangdong economic foundation, we must not only care about the front line and take care of the rear, ensure that soldiers, money and food, but also not force large households too much, ensure that the core of the Sun Quan central government is unwavering, and take care of the interests of local gentry without damage, so...
Money cannot be born out of thin air, nor can it be said that the left pocket goes to the right pocket, and then the left foot can be directly converted into money and property, and then it will be lifted up and ascended...
As for the work-for-relief, it is even more bloody. Those who die on the construction site are buried directly in the field. Even so, the food that you eat and drink every day is still impossible to be extra for no reason, and it still has to be consumed...
No one is willing to give up benefits in the upper structure, and the upper structure sets rules and masters violence, so who will give up benefits? Under such conditions, who will endure and endure, and persist, then persist?
It is reasonable that large-scale refugees appeared in Jiangdong for no reason.
A refugee is a prisoner of sin.
Household registration is the fence for raising cattle and sheep. Which cattle and sheep escaped from the fence is an unforgivable sin for the feudal dynasty. So isn’t it natural for these sinners to forgive their sins with labor, sweat, and flesh?
This time, the refugee tide has reduced the total population of Jiangdong, especially the total number of refugees fleeing to the north, which means that local management will be simpler. Refugees are equivalent to trouble. It must be the common voice of many local officials in Jiangdong. Now, arresting criminals openly and sending them to the battlefield is equivalent to eliminating local hidden dangers?
This reduces the mouth that originally had to consume food, which means reducing the amount of money.
As for open source...how to open source in winter? Right?
At the same time, it may also allow Jiangdong’s wealthy family and the Sun family to cultivate the emotions of some comrades in the process of joining hands to eat and drink flesh and blood...
If a person wants to gain something, he will lose something.
There are so many benefits, of course there are disadvantages.
That is, the victim...
Some sacrifices are inevitable when planning for major events.
Is the word sacrifice? For all ages, the three animals have been dominated by pigs, cattle and sheep. Who would have used tigers, leopards and dogs as the three animals?
Even so, Zhou Yu also knew in his heart that doing so was actually drinking poison, and there were great consequences.
This tide of refugees was killed and injured, and the biggest sinner was himself. If Zhou Yu hadn't nodded in agreement and coordinated in the center, the storm would have never been so rapid, and it would have been so fast when cutting flesh and blood.
Just because of myself, I have to let Jiangdong embark on this most difficult path.
Stop, don't you walk?
no.
All have reached this point, and after investing so much in sunk costs, Zhou Yu can't help but stop moving forward.
In the process of continuing, in addition to Zhou Yu as the leader, there is another very important core element, which is Sun Quan.
If Sun Quan must be able to bear it and persevere, if he shakes a little, he may be wasted all his previous efforts.
Although Lu Su’s problem is short, it actually represents concerns about Zhou Yu and Sun Quan. Now the front line is only a small defeat, and there are problems, but it cannot be considered very big. However, if the stalemate continues, the money and food continue to be consumed, or they may suffer certain setbacks, and the defeat is passed to Jiangdong, how will Sun Quan deal with it?
If Sun Quan suddenly takes some measures that should not have been taken by then, Zhou Yu has worked hard to lay out the overall strategy, and he would have to be ruined immediately.
"The place of the lord..." Zhou Yu's voice was very low, "I will go and persuade him..."
Lu Su was silent.
When the child grows up, the older he grows, the more rebellious he becomes. It is really hard to confirm whether it will be effective.
Maybe Sun Quan thinks that it is just right to push the people’s anger and resentment to deal with the Jiangdong gentry? At that time, the front line has not yet achieved success, but the rear is in chaos, so it is really...
The cold wind is blowing, the shadows of trees are swaying, and the moonlight is clear.
Zhou Yuliang said softly after a long time: "Zi Jing... I have something to ask for it, I hope Zi Jing should not refuse..."
Lu Su responded, "Please tell me, Governor."
Lu Su did not stomp his chest and stomped his feet, and sweared that he could do it. If he couldn't do it, he would hit the sky, but no one doubted the determination represented by just a few simple words.
"Zi Jing..." Zhou Yu raised his head and looked faint, "If... something unexpected happened..."
"Governor!" Lu Su straightened his waist and leaned forward slightly, "How can the Governor..."
"Now I can't die for the time being..." Zhou Yu interrupted Lu Su, "But... this person is dead... At that time, he will be troubled by Zijing... Someone heard that there are three mountains in the east, namely Nanshan Zhongshan and North Mountain, each with people, and women are respected... If it is someone...
Zhou Yu turned his head slightly and looked towards the backyard. "If Shou was not with someone, I would like to ask Zijing to take his people out to sea to find a mountain to help him become the queen... I made a statement first and promised that when the world was peaceful, I would definitely sail in the sea... Now, haha, that's all..."
Zhou Yu has a wife in her husband, but Xiao Qiao is just a concubine, or a wife Ru.
The relationship between Zhou Yu and his wife is obviously not as deep as that between him and Xiao Qiao. This is also a normal phenomenon for the current gentry. Most of the marriages of children of the gentry are mostly political or interest-related, and have nothing to do with personal emotions.
In addition to Xiao Qiao, Zhou Yu also has a considerable number of private soldiers from home. After Zhou Yu's death, most of these private soldiers will follow the wife of his wife and accompany Zhou Yu's children to protect Zhou Yu's children.
However, there are also some people who completely use Zhou Yu as their loyalty to follow the ancient etiquette to commit suicide and bury themselves with them.
If these people are not allowed to commit suicide, to some extent, it insults the faith of these people, so Zhou Yu entrusted them to Lu Su together so that these people can have other tasks to continue living, such as helping Xiao Qiao become the queen in Sanshan...
