Chapter 493 Sun Ce led the Shanyue people to rebel?
In fact, the cause of this incident was Zhou Yu.
He had previously decided to take Lujiang and Yuzhang counties first, and then go north to support Liu Bei.
After the addition of these two counties, the territory equivalent to Jiangdong has approximately doubled in a short period of time.
This caused Jiangdong's originally small military strength to be even dwarfed by comparison.
Therefore, Zhou Yu asked Sun Quan to recruit as many soldiers as possible in the rear and collect food and grass.
But the problem is that the six counties of Jiangdong were not the land of plenty that they later became. In the era of the Han Dynasty, Jiangdong did not develop into what it would be in later generations.
Therefore, there are not many Han people here to begin with, and in order to ensure the supply of food and grass for the coming year, it is impossible to transfer Han people regardless of the consequences.
Ever since, Sun Quan set his sights on the Shanyue tribe.
You must know that the Shanyue tribe in this era was a very good source of soldiers, but some of them did not have a good relationship with the Han Dynasty.
The Shanyue people did not form a unified political power, and often lived as a tribe. Fights often broke out between their various tribes.
It can be said that the combat effectiveness of the Shanyue people is actually quite impressive.
In addition, the people of Shanyue were poor, so some tribes living on the edge of Han Dynasty began to come into contact with the Han people.
They are an important source of mercenaries in the Jiangnan area. As for the Shanyue people who are closer to the mountains, they are more hostile to the Han people.
The conservative Shanyue people felt that those tribes that had contact with the Han people were traitors to the Shanyue people, so both sides were very hostile.
Once the harvest is bad, these two groups of Shanyue people will work in the high mountains.
Therefore, the combat effectiveness of the Shanyue people is not weak, and they are very excellent mountain soldiers.
Originally, there was a team composed of Shanyue people in the Jiangdong camp all year round. The most famous one was the "Jie Fan Army" that showed great success in the Battle of Yiling.
The main force of this Jiefan army was the Shanyue people.
Let’s not go into details, let’s just say that this time, due to Zhou Yu’s plan, there was a shortage of troops in Jiangdong. In order to alleviate this unfavorable situation and not affect farming, Sun Quan asked for the forced conscription of Shanyue people.
Generally speaking, when Jiangdong recruits Shanyue people, they recruit them from the peripheral and well-connected Shanyue tribes.
But this time, the number of people requested was too many, so Sun Quan sent people to go inside the Shanyue people, that is, those Shanyue tribes with whom they had not good relations, to carry out forced conquest.
Since the recruitment was compulsory, and the officials sent to be responsible for the forced recruitment were also quite hostile to the Shanyue people.
How should I put it? After all, the Shanyue people like to make sneak attacks on Han territories from time to time and often kill people, so the relationship is definitely not good.
Various reasons came together to produce one result, that is, the Jiangdong official sent to recruit did not complete the quota assigned by his superiors, so he took it for granted and plundered the Shanyue people's village.
Force the Shanyue people to hand over Qingzhuang and force them to join the battle sequence in Jiangdong.
Since it is robbery, coercion and other violent methods, conflicts will definitely occur, and people will die if there are conflicts.
As for the immortals, the people who were beaten to death this time were Ayima’s tribesmen.
Ayima wanted to come forward to argue, but the Jiangdong official responsible for the forced conscription took a fancy to her and wanted to take Ayima away.
What can Sun Ce do now?
As a result, Sun Ce immediately jumped out and showed everyone what the courage of an overlord means!
A pair of fists as big as sandbags directly taught the Jiangdong official how to behave.
Those Shanyue people who had been oppressed followed Sun Ce and attacked the soldiers from Jiangdong who came to conquer.
If Sun Ce had not considered that these soldiers were his former soldiers, I am afraid that none of these people would have been able to leave the mountain.
Originally, when the matter reached this point, it should be over. But the official did not recognize Sun Ce at first, and was afraid that after he returned, he would not complete the task and almost cause a rebellion among the Shanyue people.
Therefore, after he returned to the Wujun Prefecture, he told the Wujun Prefect about the extravagant matter.
However, in his words, the whole thing was Sun Ce's fault.
The prefect of Wu County is also a ruthless person. He feels that now that his master is plotting the land north of the Yangtze River, Yuzhang and other places must ensure stability.

So, while he wrote to Sun Quan, he also asked people to prepare for an encirclement and suppression of the Shanyue people near Wujun in Yuzhang.
But Sun Ce saw that he had let the other side go a step further, but the other side didn't appreciate it. In addition, he himself also had a bad temper.
There were also a series of reasons why he was attacked by Sun Quan in the past, so Sun Ce directly decided to take the Shanyue people and fight them out.
He wanted to have a good chat with Sun Quan of Jianye and ask him why!
Sun Ce's Shanyue tribe was the first to respond, and then took the initiative to contact other nearby villages.
In less than two days, thousands of young people gathered.
There is a reason why Sun Ce is called the Little Overlord of Jiangdong.
For example, he relied on more than a thousand young men from several nearby villages to defeat the two thousand Jiangdong soldiers who came to encircle and suppress them through sneak attacks.
Then Sun Ce took the initiative to reveal his identity, and all the Jiangdong soldiers who came to encircle and suppress him directly surrendered to Sun Ce.
As a result, in just ten days, Sun Ce not only defeated the more than 10,000 Jiangdong troops who came out from Wu County to encircle and suppress him, but also directly invaded most of Wu County's land.
And under his command, there were not only more than 10,000 Han troops, but also 20,000 Shanyue people, with a total strength of more than 30,000.
Thirty thousand troops came to the city, and the prefect of Wu County recognized Sun Ce, so he surrendered directly.
Wu Commandery fell in less than ten days, which directly shocked Sun Quan who was still in Jianye.
When Sun Quan knew that his brother had returned with an army and a king, the first thing he did was not to plead guilty.
Instead, they sent people to control all the high-level officials in Jiangdong, especially the family members of military commanders.
Among them were Sun Ce's first wife Da Qiao, Zhou Yu's wife Xiao Qiao, as well as Han Dang, Huang Gai, Cheng Pu and other family members of the generals who followed Sun Ce to conquer the world.
Moreover, he also hid the news of Sun Ce's return, deprived the veteran generals of their right to lead troops, and gave the task of encircling and suppressing Sun Ce to the generals he promoted.
In this way, the civil war belonging to Jiangdong began.
The question is, how can the generals promoted by Sun Quan be Sun Ce's opponents?
Moreover, three of the original twelve tiger ministers in Jiangdong were in the hands of Liu Xie, and veterans like Huang Gai were kept in cold storage by Sun Quan.
So, how could a young general like Ling Tong be defeated by Sun Ce?
Therefore, Sun Quan's side was defeated again and again, and Sun Ce was about to defeat Jianye.
Sun Quan, who had no choice but not wanting to die and felt that he had controlled Zhou Yu, thought of asking Zhou Yu to return to Jianye (using Xiao Qiao and other relatives of Zhou Yu to control him).
But even so, Sun Quan did not say in the letter that the leader of the Shanyue people was Sun Ce, but only told him that it was the Shanyue rebellion.
At that time, Cheng Pu told Zhou Yu the real situation.
