Chapter 648: Yuan Shu secretly harbors the desire to become emperor
Sun Ce led his army to attack for several days, but failed to break the city. He was planning with the generals in the bathroom. Suddenly a man walked out from one side. Sun Ce saw that it was his uncle Sun Jing. He quickly got up and asked, who would let the two men go? The seniority is there.
Sun Jing's nickname is Youtai, which means he is the younger brother of Sun Qiang (who died young) and Sun Jian. He has five sons, namely Sun Hao, Sun Yu, Sun Jiao, Sun Huan, Sun Qian and Sun Jian. Five or six hundred people from Xiangqu and the clan thought of it as a guarantee, and they all attached themselves to it.
Sun Jing said: "Wang Lang is holding on to the city, and it is difficult to evacuate it. Most of the money and food in Kuaiji are stationed in Chadu. The land is dozens of miles away from here, and the main route of the road is there. It is better to use troops to occupy it first. It is said that we are unprepared to attack it." , it is a surprise, I must lead the army to the front line, and it will be defeated!"
"This plan is to attack the enemy's heart. If you don't save him, you will definitely die!" After hearing this, Sun Ce said with great joy: "My uncle's wonderful trick is enough to defeat the thief!"
Sun Ce immediately ordered bonfires to be lit at each gate, false flags, and suspicious troops, and he withdrew the siege to the south overnight. Cheng Pu hurriedly came and said: "With Bo Fu's soldiers, Wang Lang will definitely come out of the city to catch them, and we can use surprise troops to defeat them."
After hearing this, Sun Ce laughed and said, "Don't be anxious, General Cheng. Gong Jin has made preparations this morning, and we can only take the city tonight." Then he ordered the troops and horses to set off.
When Wang Lang heard that Sun Ce's army and horses had retreated, he invited everyone to watch on the enemy tower. He saw fireworks going up below the city and the flags were scattered. He hesitated. Zhou Tingjin said: "Sun Ce is leaving. He designed this trick to doubt my ears. But Send out troops to attack."
Yan Baihu narrowed his eyes and pondered for a long time before saying, "Sun Ce is here to investigate, is he going to investigate for corruption? I will order my troops and General Zhou to pursue him."
Wang Lang was shocked and turned pale, and said anxiously: "Chadu is where we store grain. We need to be on guard. You lead the troops first, and I will respond later."
Yan Baihu and Zhou Ting led five thousand soldiers out of the city to pursue them. They were about twenty miles away from the city when the first watch was approaching. Suddenly, there was a drum sound in the dense forest and torches were lit. Yan Baihu was startled. He reined up his horse and ran back. He was the first to stop him. , looking into the firelight, they saw five hundred fine cavalry led by Sun Ce blocking the road. Zhou Ting came to fight with his sword, but was stabbed by Sun Ce with a spear. He turned his horse and fled, and the rest of the people surrendered.
Yan Baihu fought his way out and headed towards Yuhang, followed by more than a hundred cavalry. Wang Lang asked that his army had been defeated before and he did not dare to lead his army back to the city. He led his men to run across the sea, and soldiers went east and west along the way. It's everywhere.
Sun Ce led his army to seize the city, and immediately went out to pacify the people. Within a day, he saw a man carrying Zhou Ting's head to surrender to Sun Ce's army. Sun Ce looked at this man. He was eight feet long, with a square face and a broad mouth. When asked about his name, he was from Huaiyin, Linhuai (today's northwest of Huaiyin, Jiangsu Province). His surname was Bu, Zhi, and Zishan. This was an unexpected surprise, so he was appointed Sima of another department.
(According to records in the Book of Wu, the ancestor of Bu Zhi was Yang Shi, a senior official of the Jin Dynasty in the Zhou Dynasty. Because his fiefdom was in Bu, he took Bu as his surname. Among the Houbu clan, Uncle Bu was one of the seventy disciples of Confucius. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, some members of the Bu clan who were generals were granted the title of Marquis of Huaiyin for their merits, and the Bu clan became a large clan in Huaiyin. Bu Zhi was a descendant of the Bu clan of the Huaiyin gentry, and Sun Quan's wife Bu Zhi was of the same clan. In the chaos of the late Han Dynasty, Bu Zhi moved to He fled the chaos in Jiangdong. After arriving in Jiangdong, he was alone and lived in poverty. Later, he met and became friends with Wei Jing (ziziqi, later an official of the State of Wu) who was from Guangling at the same age. The two of them were self-sufficient by growing melons during the day and worked hard at night. Study books. He gradually learns various knowledge and skills extensively, and has read all kinds of books thoroughly. He has a generous and profound character, and can bend his ambitions and humiliate himself.)
From then on, the east road was flat. Sun Ce ordered his uncle Sun Jing to guard it. Ce then returned to the army. He also ordered Zhu Zhi to be the prefect of Wu County, and then he returned to Jiangdong. At this time, a man with a blue flag came to report: "Sun Quan and
Lu Fan was guarding Xuancheng. Suddenly, mountain bandits broke out and attacked from all sides. Sun Quan helped Lu Fan mount his horse. Dozens of thieves came to attack them with swords. The situation was critical. Sun Quan abandoned his horse and had no armor on his body. He raised his sword to kill the thieves.
More than ten people were killed, and then a thief jumped on his horse and held a spear, and went straight to Sun Quan. Sun Quan grabbed the gun, dragged him off the horse, took the spear and horses, and fought a bloody path, protecting Lu Fan and leaving. The remaining thief
They all fled at a distance, but Sun Quan was shot twelve times, his wounds swollen, and he was about to die in a matter of seconds."
Sun Ce was horrified when he heard this. Dong Xi came out from his tent and listed him as one of Sun Ce's subordinates and said: "Although a certain person was not talented, he once fought with the pirates and suffered several arrows. He was recommended by a doctor from the Kuaiji County official and he recovered in half a month."
"
"Yu Fan?" Sun Ce asked in surprise: "Could it be Yu Fan or Yu Zhongxiang?"
Dong Xi nodded and replied: "Exactly."
Sun Ce first ordered Zhang Zhao to invite Yu Fan and Yu Zhongxiang, telling him that he was still appointed as a meritorious officer and asked him to seek medical treatment. He also led troops to see his younger brothers Sun Quan and Lu Fan. Not long after, Dong Xi invited Yu Fan and Yu Zhongxiang to come.
Meet Sun Ce in Xuancheng.
As soon as he saw Yu Fan arriving, Sun Ce hurriedly bowed to him and said, "I dare not treat you like a county official. I would like to share what happened today with you."
"I don't dare, I don't dare." Yu Fan thanked him.
Immediately, Yu Fan led the doctor to see Sun Ce. Sun Ce saw that this man's face was as pale as gold, his brows were full of heroism, and he had an aloof appearance, so he asked: "Who is sir?"
"I am a native of Dengzhou, Henan. My surname is Zhang and my given name is Zhongjing. I am a scattered doctor traveling in Jiangdong!" Zhang Ji replied in a neither humble nor arrogant tone.
Sun Ce treated him as an honored guest and asked Zhang Ji to look at the wounds. After Zhang Ji looked at them, he chuckled and said, "This is easy to do. I have a friend whose surname is Hua and whose name is Tuo and whose character is Yuanhua. He is the best at this disease. I also
Instead of studying it, he will be cured in one month." Sun Ce was overjoyed when he heard this and thanked Zhang Ji again and again.
In order to vent his anger, Sun Ce sent troops to exterminate the mountain bandits. After that, the whole south of the Yangtze River was peaceful. Sun Ce assigned officers and soldiers to guard the passes. There were more than 100,000 soldiers. The civil and military officers were all loyal. Sun Ce thought that when his father Sun Jian was there, his subordinates
The generals were all promoted to the second level. On the one hand, they wrote petitions to apply to the court, on the other hand, they made friends with Cao Cao, and on the other hand, they sent letters to Yuan Shu to urge him to obtain the jade seal.
Let’s leave Sun Ce aside for now, and let’s talk about this Han clan clan member, the unlucky Yangzhou governor Liu Yao. Liu Yao was defeated and left Dantu, followed closely by Xu Shao, Xu Zijiang and his three sons Liu Ji and Liu Shuo.
, Liu Shang.
When they arrived at Dan Tu, Liu Yao turned to Yi, Sun Shao, Zuo Rong, and Xue Li. However, not long after, Sun Ce defeated Yan Baihu, and news about Wang Lang came. Liu Yao panicked and hurriedly tried to help everyone.
Negotiate.
Xu Shao, Xu Zijiang, said: "Kuiji is rich and prosperous, but the policy is greedy, and it is poor in the corner of the sea. It is impossible to go there. It is not as good as Yuzhang, which is connected to Yuyang to the north and Jingzhou to the west. If you can recruit the officials and people, send envoys to contribute."
, I heard from Cao Yanzhou that although there is Yuan Highway between them, he is a jackal and cannot last long. I accept the king's order, Meng De and Jing Sheng will help each other." Liu Yao deeply believed this and acted according to Xu Shao's plan.
Liu Yao went back to the south of the Yangtze River to protect Yuzhang and stationed at Pengze. Zuo Rong arrived first. He actually killed Xue Li during the banquet and annexed his family. He also falsely accused Xue Li of wanting to rebel and surrender to Sun Ce. Liu Yao did not doubt that he was there, but he actually did it.
Believed.
Later Liu Yao ordered Zuo Rong to assist Zhu Hao, the governor of Yuzhang whom he appointed, to attack Zhuge Xuan, the governor of Yuzhang appointed by Liu Biao, the shepherd of Jingzhou. At this time, Xu Shao and Xu Zijiang said to Liu Yao: "Ze Rong, this person, has never been
He doesn't care what others say about him. Zhu Hao has a loyal and honest personality, is easy to confide in others, and is gullible to others. Zhu Hao must be instructed to be on guard against Zuo Rong!"
