Chapter 42 The fate of the Sun and Zhou families
Compared with the Hanzhong conspiracy, the Changsha Tigers prefer to defeat their opponents in an upright manner.
After the riot in Ou Xing subsided, Sun Jian's ruthless tactics scared the young and Dangerous boys who had escaped death and fled to other counties.
Zhou Chao, the boss of Lingling County in the south of Changsha, and Guo Shi, the boss of Guiyang County next door, took in many of their younger brothers who had taken refuge, and their strength increased greatly.
Once there are more people and horses, new ideas will come to mind.
Kill someone and set him on fire with a golden belt, and give him a wife!
According to the court rules, the Tigers of Changsha could not control Lingling and Guiyang, so the two gangsters decided to join forces to rebel.
Learning from the lessons of the Changsha defeat, both sides chose the same day to launch a sudden attack.
Sure enough, the underworld gangsters successfully broke into the two counties and prefectures, killed the officials, occupied the city, and coerced the poor to rob the rich.
The number of rioters increased and chaos spread rapidly.
Wang Rui, the governor of Jingzhou, lived in Jiangling, Nanjun, in the north of the state.
When he learned of the riots in southern Jingzhou, he organized his subordinates to discuss matters, report to the court, gather military supplies and other matters.
While Wang Rui was planning step by step, Sun Jian seized the opportunity and immediately sent troops to quell the chaos.
Some people in the Changsha County Government were puzzled: sending troops privately might attract criticism, and it would be a big deal if the court held them accountable.
Sun Jian laughed when he heard about it: "I am a warrior, and I only know the word "conquest". Now I am crossing the border to suppress the rebellion. I am loyal to the emperor, love the country, protect the border and the people, and I will die without complaint!"
The Tiger of Changsha, which has always been bold, looked at the cards in the north. Not only did it occupy Youzhou and Yongzhou, but it also took a few pieces of meat from Jizhou and Bingzhou, and it was still leisurely.
Therefore, after taking the position of county guard, in addition to fully manning 2,000 county soldiers, Sun Jian also forcibly established 2,000 armed logistics battalions transformed from bandits.
These days, the hands are quick and the hands are slow. After more than a month of training, it’s time for the new boys to see their blood.
What I didn’t say was that the entire army was dispatched, divided into two groups, and a two-pronged attack.
At this time, Zu Mao, a fellow from Fuchun, came to seek refuge because of his reputation. Like Sun Jian, he also held swords with both hands and was both wise and brave.
Sun Jian was very happy and decided to deal with the Lingling Zhou Dynasty personally, and let Zu Mao deal with the weaker Guiyang Guo Shi.
Two thousand regular county soldiers suddenly arrived, and they were led by the Tigers of Changsha. The Zhou Dynasty thanked guests behind closed doors and practiced magical skills, although the turtle lived long.
Kicking away the "no fight" card that greeted him, Sun Jian took out the diamond, which was specially designed to break turtle shells.
"Siege the city!"
Sun Er, who had a hot temper, jumped up and down on the ladder to avoid the messy arrows and climbed to the city first.
Jumping off the crenel, Sun Jian opened his bow from left to right, his swords flying like auspicious snow, the gods blocking and killing the gods.
The personal guards behind him swarmed up, chasing Zhou Chao, and slashed at him.
From the city head all the way to the county government, there were corpses lying along the way, and the blood splashed everywhere formed a gurgling Red River, as if the God of Death was walking through it.
Zhou Chao panicked and stepped into the gate of the county government. He wanted to rely on the high-walled mansion to resist, and shouted loudly: "Close the door, close the door...Ah!"
"Poof!"
A long knife accurately penetrated his body from the back of the heart.
After a breath, Sun Jian stepped forward and swung his sword with one hand, causing blood to flow like a fountain.
Lingling gangster, his head is missing.
Seeing Sun Jian's madness and ruthlessness, the morale of the gangsters in Lingling dropped to zero and collapsed in an instant.
Zu Mao, who was in charge of Guiyang, took on the important task for the first time and used all his abilities to attack the city continuously and broke the city in two days.
Finally, Zu Mao cornered Guo Shi in the governor's house and chopped him into godmother hot sauce.
The reason why the insurrectionists swirled and annihilated was not only because they did not expect the Han army to be so fast, but also because most of Sun Jian's men had experienced battles and practiced rigorously day and night, so they fought more efficiently.
Ten days later, when Wang Rui had finished everything and led his troops south to Lingling Guiyang, Sun Jian had already begun to reorganize the prisoners.
Wang Rui was aware of the unrest among the people, and a strong general like Sun Jian could intimidate the princes in the state. He not only turned a blind eye to his control of the three counties, but also went to the court to praise Sun Jian greatly.
Therefore, Sun Jian, the tiger of Changsha, the governor of the three counties, paid homage to the generals and was granted the title of Marquis, General Zhonglang, and Marquis of Wucheng.
As civil unrest breaks out, the number of officials in the imperial court increases, and excessive salaries and military expenditures empty the national treasury, which can only plunder the people even more harshly.
In this way, a vicious circle and eventual collapse are inevitable.
Jingzhou has been a land of plenty and plenty since ancient times.
Therefore, under the three auras of the Tiger of Changsha's reputation, strong army, and territory, more and more counselors and generals came to join him, further solidifying the foundation of Sun Jian's southern hegemony.
The fourth year of Zhongping, early September.
Two handsome young men came to Changsha together.
Sun Ce, the eldest son of Sun Jian, was thirteen years old and came from Shouchun to visit his father.
Zhou Yu, nephew of former Taiwei Zhou Zhong, was thirteen years old and traveling with his friend Sun Ce.
Sun Ce was extraordinary in military prowess, strong in body, and even more ambitious and heroic than Sun Jian.
Zhou Yu has a slender figure, handsome appearance, noble aspirations, and outstanding talents.
The Zhonglang general Wu Chenghou, who controls the three counties, is in the midst of the spring breeze.
I was overjoyed to see Qilin'er come to visit her relatives, and to see Zhou Yu's handsome appearance and well-connected family background.
If you want to dominate a country, force alone will not last long. The Zhou family of Lujiang is a well-known figure in the world and is an excellent help, so you must give it to them.
Zhou's family is high in the temple, and he has an insight into the changes in the government and the public. One of the main reasons why the party members failed was that they had no soldiers to rely on.
Therefore, the Tiger of Changsha frequently sent autumn spinach, which Zhou Zhong accepted with a smile and intended to broaden Sun Jian's circle of contacts.
In this way, the Sun and Zhou families came together fatefully.
Sun Jian, who was busy with everything, was recruiting troops and horses in Guiyang, Lingling. At the same time, he took his son and Zhou Yu with him, teaching them by words and deeds, and cultivating them carefully.
When the Tigers of Changsha expanded their territory and reputation, the Hanzhong prefect was not idle either.
Recommended by Bao Xin, the cavalry commander of the Northern Army, a very important counselor came from afar.
The visitor is from Dongwuyang, Dongjun, Chen Gong and Chen Gongtai.
Boss Cao is a man of literary and military skills who is eager for talent. He is definitely the one recognized by his good friend Bao Xin in Dongdu.
He immediately appointed Chen Gong as his military advisor and was responsible for organizing the staff and military police.
The overall "Yonghua" of Hanzhong is no lie.
Farming, tea plantations, finance, industry and commerce, entertainment, education, and medical care were all presented in front of Chen Gong like a treasure.
Chen Gong, who originally just came to see the scenery in the poor and borderline area, became interested.

The place is not bad, the soldiers and horses are strong, boss Cao is also very benevolent and righteous, Cao Ang looks good and is planning to plot in Bashu, which is interesting.
Chen Gong, who took office, had an upright temperament and put forward three opinions to the point.
Article 1: The military garrison puts the cart before the horse. Professional people do professional things, and the land is rented out to farmers, but the harvest is less. Isn’t it good to greatly increase the military’s combat effectiveness?
Boss Cao humbly accepted: Change it immediately, change it immediately!
Article 2: It is not advisable to monopolize business. There are many wealthy businessmen in Hanzhong. Let them do it. It will save more trouble to collect taxes and concentrate on grabbing the territory. Will the money come in faster?
Boss Cao nodded in agreement: Yes, yes!
Article 3: Liu Yanshu has deep roots, and attacking by force is not as good as outwitting him. Showing weakness and submissiveness will slow down his military morale, and then bribe internal agents from within Shu County. In just a few months, major things can be accomplished. Isn’t it half the result with half the effort?
Boss Cao was sincerely convinced: OK, OK, everything depends on the military advisor!
At the beginning of October, Boss Cao took his son, military advisor and Cao Hong to bring gifts and, accompanied by Zhang Lu, rushed to Chengdu to pay homage to the Tu Emperor Liu Yan.
Cao Cao understood the rules, took care of everything, and received a lot of praise. Coupled with the generous gift list, Liu Yan finally had a psychological balance.
When they met, the local emperor emphasized enough to rely on his elders and sell his elders, half beating and half encouraging.
Generally speaking, it is considered acquiescence that Cao Cao occupied Hanzhong.
Cao Cao acted very submissive, and his beautiful words were like the tide of Qiantang, one after another.
In this way, Liu Yan was so blown away that he turned to Liu Yan. He was in a high mood and was very interested. He left Hanzhong Prefect and continued to find Lu Xiangu to practice and stay together.
In private, Cao Cao and Zhang Lu visited key civil and military officials respectively to screen out those who could be bribed.
Back in Hanzhong, after careful planning, Chen Gong formulated a specific action plan.
