"Wow~ It's indeed a fruit that has been iced with deep well ice. It's so cool and refreshing.","
"I think it would be more convincing if you could eat those fruits yourself instead of throwing them to me."
"When drinking, isn't it common sense to put the fruits used to soak the wine on the plate?"
"But isn't it strange that you praise the taste of fruit but never take a bite of it?!"
"Yeah~ It's quite strange."
"So you finally realized the problem with what you just said."
"Hmm, as expected, the verbose little fish baby looks so interesting."
"You~ were~ just~ talking~ about the~god~horse~!!!"
"The weather is really hot today. It was so cold last winter, so why is it so hot before spring is over?"
Seeing Sun Ce rolling back and forth on the jade mattress, Zhou Yu sighed silently, but the smile remained on his face.
Some time has passed since the Yu Jiqiu incident. The drought in Jiangdong is still very serious. Although there have been several rains in addition to the heavy rain in Yu Jiqiu, those incidents are not long and continuous drizzle.
The sun looks so beautiful after the rain
Powerless, the earth is still dry, and even the water level in Zhenze (today's Taihu Lake) has dropped significantly. Occasionally, you can still see those small lakes that are almost dry with their mouths opening wide, as if they are accusing them in this way.
The fish holding something turned up its white belly.
Probably under such circumstances, Sun Ce has become less and less fond of living in his villa, which can be regarded as the most luxurious in the entire Wu County. Instead, he dug three feet into the ground, no, maybe three feet? Anyway, Zhou Yu
I don't like this gloomy environment.
Although to be honest, it is much cooler here than on the ground. It is also very quiet. For an elegant person like Zhou Yu who spends his free time either playing the piano or reading, it is a good place to enjoy himself, but there is always something wrong with staying here.
Zhou Yu, who was extremely depressed, couldn't let himself accept this kind of place no matter what - only the existence of good gay friends could make him endure until now.
But Sun Ce really likes the look of this place. He was listless outside, as if he didn't want to do anything or say anything, which was completely inconsistent with his sunny boy setting. But when he came here, he looked
It's a very eerie place, but it's like you believe in some evil god and you are resurrected with full health, just like the legendary demon king who will eventually be defeated by the brave can only stay in his castle with a style that is always different from other places.
inside, rather than a generally normal place.
However, what is a good gay friend? Isn’t that what you want to be with until the moment when the world is destroyed?
Of course, if one of the parties pulls out any weapon at this time, even an embroidery needle will do, then kill the other party and say coolly in front of the other party's unconscious body, "I never killed you."
If you treat him as a friend or something, then it must be a masterpiece. And if you then hold the other person's older sister, sister, or even mother's lover in your arms... then it's a masterpiece, isn't it?
Ahem, how could something with such an obviously wrong style of painting appear in the text? As for the extras... (Looking at the sky)
"Recently, it feels like you have lost interest in the demon named Yu Ji."
Perhaps he really couldn't stand a sunny boy acting cute in front of him. Zhou Yu tried to divert Sun Ce's attention by using things that could arouse Sun Ce's interest. However, the reason why he mentioned Yu Ji was just like what Zhou Yu said.
I don’t know why, but Sun Ce, who originally wanted to scream and kill him just hearing this name, seems to have lost interest in it. No, it can’t be said that way. It should be said that he is no longer as interested as before.
The reaction was violent.
"That guy? Gongjin, aren't you looking for traces of him and his accomplices? Anyway, there won't be any very happy results for a while. Then it's better to put it down for the time being and invest your energy in something more worthy of investment.
things."
"What is it? Is it possible that the reason why you have been constantly deploying troops and generals recently is for this 'new interest'?"
"Didn't you, Gongjin, do the same thing a while ago? Keep sending your men to Jingnan and so on."
"That's also because I have the foundation left by Uncle Wentai. Otherwise, even if I want to do something there, it won't be easy."
"So, since Jingzhou has its own problems, and those damn Bingzhou people have been provoked in the north, although I hate those bastards and scum. But I have to admit that they are indeed a group of guys like hungry wolves, and they will be provoked casually.
They are definitely not a wise choice, but since those idiots in Jingzhou have done this, it is good news for us."
"so what?"
"Avenging my father... this can probably only be used as a cover. With our current strength, being able to eat Jiang Xia is already the limit. Although I don't want to admit it, I have to say that Jiangdong has not yet figured out this mess. If we continue to
Plus, those people from Jingzhou are even more disgusting than the people from Bingzhou.
We even need to worry about whether the two sides will join forces and turn their backs on foreigners. So it’s better to leave that group of people to Bingzhou to deal with the headache. I hope they can use their own resources that have not been placed in the right place at all.
The brain has given Bingzhou people enough trouble."
"There's one more thing you didn't say."
"As expected of my little fish baby, my mother is the one who gave birth to me, and Gongjin is the one who knows me~!"
"I would gladly accept the compliment if you would take back that title that makes me want to kill you."
"That sentence is a whole, and that title is a sacred and inseparable part of the whole."
"Do you think I am a person who only knows how to protest verbally?"
"Eh? Gongjin, aren't you? Speaking of which, we haven't sparred for a long time, why not take this opportunity..."
"Stop it, let's go back to the original topic."
"(Mumbling quietly) Another good opportunity has been missed. Gongjin is really too sharp, it's not fun~"
"Bo Fu~ What did you say just now!!!" Well, although it was just a verbal threat, Xiaoyu Baobao, oh no, it was Zhou Yu Gongjin's sinister face stuck in front of him.
The power still made Sun Ce shudder.
Hmm. Sometimes the underground environment is indeed not suitable for a certain big boy with sunshine attributes.
"I just said... I just said: 'That guy named Huang Zu, my father could easily defeat him before, so I will not let my father's reputation be tarnished. This time I will use his head to sacrifice him.
Worship my father’s heroic spirit’.”
Within two days, a flag that could cover the sky and the sun was raised in Niuzhu, an important stronghold in the northern part of Danyang County. The mighty army and surface warships on the road formed a huge team. The surrounding gentry, common people and other forces were shocked.
The spies were all amazed by it, especially the navy consisting of ships and battleships, which was the focus of everyone's observation.
"Quan, the family will be left to you. After I leave, you will be the backbone of the family, so you must never act on impulse or be careless, because I believe you will not want to know the consequences of doing so."
"Don't worry, brother. I will definitely protect my mother and younger brothers and sisters, and I will definitely keep the legacy that my brother has created. And compared to my more willful brother, I will listen to my mother's words more."
"You stinky boy. However, seeing you like this makes me feel relieved. The rest is up to you. But I believe that with your qualifications, brother Quan, you will not let me down. I have been looking forward to it."
When we brothers are galloping on the battlefield together."
"Hehe, if we are talking about attacking the city, I may still be far behind my elder brother, but if we defend the city, there will definitely be no more problems."
"That's good. In that case, I can safely take Zhou Youping away. The task of this water battle is very heavy."
"Brother, feel free to take him away. It's not like I don't have trustworthy people around me. Whether they are civil servants Qin Wenbiao, Chen Zizheng, Gu Yuantan, Yu Zhongxiang, or military generals such as Dong Yuandai and Lu Dinggong, they are not inferior to the civil servants and generals under my brother.
"
"Very good. In this case, I can rest assured to attack Liu Biao and avenge my father!"
"I sincerely wish my eldest brother a victorious return. I also hope that my third brother will not become a burden to my eldest brother and not lose my reputation as a good man of the Sun family. It is best to bring back Huang Zu's head, otherwise the bet between us will be ruined."
I’ll lose if I ask you out~”
"Long-winded second brother, don't worry. I will never let you read the joke behind you, second brother. And my mother asked me to remind you, second brother, before leaving, but you must keep an eye on your little sister. If she sneaks away,
You’re gone. Don’t blame me for not reminding you when mother wants to hit you.”
"Eh! Eh Eh?! Third brother, when you said this, I remembered that my little sister was still pestering me to come to see my eldest brother off in the morning. Just now I was wondering why the always lively little sister was silent now, ugh
Wow, third brother, you tricked me!"
As a result, because of the words of Sun Yi, the third eldest son of the Sun family, there was a slight commotion in the originally neat expedition queue.
But soon, the small-scale commotion caused by the accident subsided, because...
“Brother~~~Brother Ce~~~~~it’s so embarrassing for people like this! o(￣e￣*)”
Riding on a tall white horse covered in oil, Sun Ce's smile looked like a ghost with gusts of sinister wind. What he held high in his hands by his collar was a man with an expression of infinite regret on his face.
It is better to say that she is a little loli than a younger one. Although the bun with a pouting face is very cute, in the eyes of the three brothers, she is the most terrifying naughty child.
Well, from a certain point of view, the little princess of the Sun family is healthy and lively to the point of being excessive. If she is not careful, she will stage a bad play such as "The Counterattack of the Naughty Child". However, it is more complicated to judge from her ability to run etc.
After a lot of physical activity, the various insanity caused by it at home is definitely not the only one like today.
Therefore, it is indeed not unnecessary for his mother, who deeply understands his temperament, to give him an extra warning before leaving.
No, Zhier Moruomu, from now on, this kind of advice is completely necessary!
If it hadn't been discovered in time, this little princess from Jiangdong might have sneaked into a box among Sun Ce's personal guards... Sun Ce didn't care about what happened next, but when he returned home, he would be
It’s completely imaginable how your old mother will nag you. And if a little princess wants to die and suffocates herself to death in a box...
Sure enough, this world with naughty children crawling all over the floor should be destroyed.
Finally getting rid of the naughty kid who accidentally entered, the mighty army was finally able to set off normally.
Well, it was originally supposed to be a solemn expedition ceremony, but why now it always feels like it has turned into a joyful atmosphere. Everyone is standing there with flushed faces and trembling shoulders. It looks like it is very hard.
appearance.
Sun Ce turned his questioning eyes to the good friend beside him, but what he got was that the other person turned his face aside with the same expression as those ordinary soldiers, as if there was something that he couldn't tell the person involved.
then……
"Mr. Cheng, just tell me what you have to say. I trust you very much."
"Well... my lord, I actually think it might be more appropriate for you to change into a cloak."
Well, Sun Ce immediately understood what Cheng Pu said, and behind this was a history of blood and tears.
Well, I won’t tell others that when I wake up and suddenly find that my face has a lot of strange symbols and so on in the eyes of everyone who can’t help but laugh, I won’t tell others that my armor occasionally has a few more.
He has a bad face, especially he won't tell others that the weapons in his martial arts field may occasionally have some problems, so he should develop a good habit of checking them himself beforehand.
All in all, it was just a naughty kid who embarrassed himself at home, but now he was embarrassed in front of the entire army... If the army hadn't already set off, it would be impossible to suddenly turn around and go back to give the naughty kid a good beating. Sun Ce really had the urge to explode.
.
Wasn't it just that he rejected the request of a certain youngling to join the army? Although it was said that these were all for the sake of the other party, since the last time he followed the army and showed off his power in Yuzhang, a certain youngling seemed to have awakened to something.
His attributes are the same. Unfortunately, as a filial son, Sun Ce obviously cannot be too indulgent to his sister's "unreasonable" demands.
In the end, he used this method to "retaliate" against himself. Should I say that he was truly a lawless brat?
Sighing, Sun Ce asked his personal guards to get rid of the cloak that obviously needed to be buried in the dark history. Sun Ce looked at Hope with a deeper look.
"It's not that I don't want to fulfill your wish. It's just that this battle is too dangerous around me. Really, I really can't let you and others fall into such fatal danger for me. I,
I will definitely protect you!"
Sun Bofu, who can be regarded as the most powerful general in Jiangdong and even in the entire south of the Yangtze River, will one day feel powerless?
If this news spreads, many people will probably be surprised.
However, it was obviously impossible for Sun Ce to let others know that some ominous changes were taking place in his body. And because of this, the Jingzhou Army led by Sun Ce's army to move westward, or to be more precise, Huang Zu
The Jiang Xia army immediately became nervous. Before even seeing the shadow of Sun Cejun, Huang Zu's letter asking for help had already arrived on Liu Biao's desk.
No wonder Huang Zu was so frightened. The memories left to him by the Sun family and his son were really too bad.
In the past, Sun Jian's army fought fiercely with the Jingzhou army in the northern Jingzhou area. I think Huang Zu was also a high-spirited and promising man at that time. Especially with the support of Liu Biao, he successfully suppressed the unruly heroes in Jiangxia and brought them to the throne.
Jiangxia County was built into a "personal kingdom" under his control, and the Jiangxia navy was Huang Zu's strongest trump card in separatist rule under Liu Biao.
But just when he was satisfied, the nightmare appeared.
The navy he trusted was no match for Sun Jian's navy that roamed the Xiangjiang River. His sailors were killed by the wolves and tigers under Sun Jian's army. And the crossbows he had pinned his hopes on
, could not shoot through the barrier of Sun Jian's army, but gave Sun Jian's army hundreds of thousands of arrows in vain, and those military resources became an important weight for the collapse of Jiangxia army.
Lien Zhan was defeated in a row, Lien Zhan was defeated in a row, and even he himself became one of the many prisoners captured by Sun Jian's army.
Shame, as long as I think about it, there is only shame.
It's terrifying to think that the Sun family man who once led the troops in Sun Jian's army and constantly charged back and forth among his troops but was unstoppable is now coming back with more and more powerful troops. The top and bottom of Jiang Xia's army are terrified.
I felt a deep chill all over my body.
Sun Cejun simply looked like he wanted to swallow up the entire Jingzhou, which gave Huang Zu a reason to ask for help from Jingzhou.
Perhaps the mere county of Jiangxia could not compete with Sun Ce's army who had mobilized Jiangdong to invade, but if Liu Biao's Jingzhou army was added, although the outcome was still unknown, Huang Zu's heart still felt a little better after all.
Confidence.
At least before the formal battle, this kind of behavior would help Huang Zu and his men retain their little fighting spirit.
Sun Cejun did not attack directly from Niuzhu to Jiangxia. Instead, he chose to pause and rest in the middle.
The rest place they chose was Chaisang County in the newly acquired Yuzhang County. It is located in the north of Yuzhang County and on the south bank of the confluence of the famous Yangtze River Waterway in Pengli Zexi. The name of Chaisang County is
It comes from the nearby Chaisang Mountain.
In fact, in addition to this name, Chaisang also had an alias of "Jiujiang" at the earliest. According to the famous Western Han Dynasty scholar and Confucian scholar Liu Xin (the person who later changed his name to Liu Xiu, which made the prophecies think it came true), Chaisang was a
Dihu and Hanjiu Rivers (i.e. Ganjiang River, Po River, Yu River, Xiu River, Gan River)
, Xushui, Shushui, Nanshui, Pengshui) into Penglize. According to current theory, the Yangtze River Basin is within the waters under the jurisdiction of Jiujiang City today, and the rivers adjacent to Poyang Lake and the three provinces of Jiangxi, Hubei and Anhui converge here, and hundreds of rivers
Guiyi rushes towards the sea, so the water in this place is vast. The river surface is magnificent, so there is a beautiful scenery.
It can be seen from this that this place must be a hub for water transportation, and naturally it has become a battleground for military strategists.
Of course, anyone familiar with the geography of the Han Dynasty knows that although Chaisang is nicknamed Jiujiang, there is a Jiujiang County hundreds of miles away above the head. Is there also the so-called Jiushui River flowing into the river there?
In fact, it is not difficult to achieve this goal due to the geographical conditions of Jiangnan densely covered with rivers and countless lakes and rivers. But when it comes to the origin of the name of Jiujiang County, it does come from the "Huhan" mentioned by Liu Xin.
"Nine waters flow into Pengli Zeye".
Jiujiang County is obviously hundreds of miles away from Penglize. Even driving on the highway takes several hours. Why does the name of Jiujiang come from Penglize?
In fact, this story goes back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
The word county appeared very early, but in the Western Zhou Dynasty, the county was still a very small administrative unit. According to the system of the Zhou Dynasty, there can be four counties in a county. You can imagine how big this county can be. And
It was from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period that the county gradually assumed its status during the Han Dynasty.
In order to consolidate the centralization of power, the Jin State established some local management agencies that were not hereditary, and each agency managed a county. Because this method was indeed very effective in strengthening centralization of power. So
The princes all over the world followed suit one after another. For example, the State of Chu established a county named Jiujiang with Penglize and Jiushui of Huhan as the core.
This should be the origin of the name Jiujiang.
However, the Jiujiang County established by the Chu State at that time was simply unimaginably large - it included almost all the areas of Lujiang County, Jiujiang County and Yuzhang County in the late Han Dynasty. Today, it is estimated that it can be used as a provincial-level administrative
The unit exists.
When it came to the Qin Dynasty, the land was redefined and divided into thirty-six counties. Which counties were among the original thirty-six is not a professional issue for us to study. We only need to know
According to the division at that time, long
The Yangtze River divides Penglize into two parts. The north part belongs to Jiujiang County, while the south part belongs to the newly added Lujiang County. Because Chaisang is located on the south bank of the Yangtze River, it belongs to Lujiang County. Even if it is divided like this, but in general
The name Jiujiang is pretty reliable.
But what needs to be known is that in ancient society, due to the inconvenience of information transmission, the larger the area under the jurisdiction of the administrative unit you established, the easier it was for unstable factors to appear. Whether it was administrative orders or disaster relief and counterinsurgency, there would be inconsistencies.
One delay.
So in the Han Dynasty, the original Jiujiang County was divided into... three. Not only did Lujiang County move from Jiangnan to Jiangbei, pushing the original Jiujiang County to the west, there was also a small Lu'an County in the north, and Jiangnan County
The land was assigned to Yuzhang County.
Well, it can be said that the current layout of counties and counties in the late Eastern Han Dynasty was basically formed during the Western Han Dynasty.
As for why Yuzhang County is still so large, it is obviously because it is vast and sparsely populated, which is really not suitable for dense administrative divisions. It is similar to the large provincial administrative units such as Xinjiang and Tibet in New China.
After this area received more development, the Soochow regime naturally further divided this area into four counties: Yuzhang, Luling, Tongchuan, and Poyang.
And precisely because of this step-by-step evolution, the name Jiujiang is getting further and further away from its "birthplace". As for when the name later returned to its original place, that is also not what we are going to discuss today.
"Gongjin, this is a good place."
"Indeed, if we train our navy, train our soldiers, and stock up on food and grass here, within five years, if we are an overlord who wants to devour the world, he can use this place to attack Jiangxia, Nanyang, and Jiujiang to the north, making the enemy unable to defend himself. For
Plan to divide the river and rule it
The hero, with this place, he can control the entire Yangtze River waterway, making it impossible for northerners to cross the natural dangers of the Yangtze River, and then continue to lie dormant and wait for new changes in the world. Even a mediocre person can get a relatively safe result by relying on this place.
"
"So Gongjin, what kind of person do you think I am?"
"Haha~ The dignified 'Jiangdong Little Overlord' actually asked himself what kind of person he is. Isn't this the biggest joke in the world~!"
"Hahahaha, you're right, I said too much. I did ask a stupid question just now!" (To be continued...)
