Chapter 254 I Can Treat Your Face
Lujiang is difficult to fight. Lu Kang, who is 70 years old, holds the city. Shucheng, the capital of Lujiang County, united as one, has caused Sun Ce to fall into a tough battle for more than a year.
Someone said, Sun Ce’s good brother, Zhou Yu, a local snake in Shu County? Why don’t you come to help?
I really can't help this. I attacked Lu Kang, who is well-known and aristocratic family in my hometown. The reputation of the Zhou family is probably a big fame. In fact, although Zhou Yu is similar to Sun Cezhi, the family is a family after all, and it will take time for Zhou Yu to be the leader of the family.
Lujiang was in a tough battle, and Sun Ce kept asking Wu Jing and Sun Ben to support his troops. Gradually, Danyang's troops became a little empty.
As mentioned earlier, Liu Yao and Lu had a good relationship. Liu Yao was very dissatisfied with Sun Ce's attack on Lu Kang, the prefect of Lujiang, and became angry and wary of Wu Jing and Sun Ben.
It just so happened that Liu Yao had a rough idea of Wu County and Danyang County. A lot of people gathered around him. He simply took advantage of the empty troops of Wu Jing and Sun Ben to drive them out of Jiangnan and stationed in Liyang in Jiangbei.
After more than a year of siege and siege, Sun Ce finally exhausted Lujiang City. After more than 100 people starved to death by the family, Lu Kang finally couldn't stand it anymore and opened the city to surrender. Less than a month after the city was sacrificed, Lu Kang died of anger.
After Sun Ce tried his best to take down Lujiang, he not only failed to get the position of Lujiang prefect who Yuan Shu promised to him, but also lost his uncle Wu Jing's prefect of Danyang. This made the Sun family very angry. Yuan Shu was too bad.
The carrots in front of Sun Ce's face were constantly being changed, but they couldn't eat them. Yuan Shu was very afraid of Sun Ce and was very strict in preventing Sun Ce. Although Yuan Shu's skills in controlling people were not very good, they were better than letting Sun take advantage of him.
Sun Ce, who was in vain in the bamboo basket, had soaring political experience. He learned from his mistakes and began to prepare for independence.
After Liu Yao occupied Danyang, he officially started a war with Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu appointed his old official Hui Qu from Langya as the governor of Yangzhou, leading Wu Jing and Sun Ben to counterattack Danyang, and asked them to fight across the Yangtze River as soon as possible.
Liu Yao appointed Zhou Shang as the prefect of Danyang. The Zhou family in Shu County, Lujiang, served as an official in the court for generations and was a family that even Yuan Shu was a little afraid of. Zhou Shang was also the uncle of Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin.
Liu Yao defended very strongly, and Wu Jing and Sun Ben and others still couldn't cross the river after fighting for a year. Yuan Shu, who was eager to open up the second battlefield of Xuzhou, was very disappointed, but he couldn't fight on both sides.
At this time, Sun Ce also ran to Yuan Shu to ask for Sun Jian's old subordinates, saying that he wanted to help his uncle beat Liu Yao.
Yuan Shu felt that Sun Ce wanted to make contributions in Jiangdong, but there was no hope for him. Liu Yao, Wang Lang, Xu Gong and Yan Baihu, none of whom were easy to meet, so he reluctantly agreed to Sun Ce's request and gave Sun Jian's old team to Sun Ce.
Sun Ce led his troops to Liyang and prepared to start his Jiangdong strategy.
Cang Yaozu sometimes imagined that after Sun Jian killed Wang Rui, he occupied most of Jingzhou south of Nanyang, which was a perfect lord. Unfortunately, Sun Jian could not ignore the call of his old boss. Zhang Wen and Zhu Yan were all waiting in Luoyang for him to kill the traitor Dong Zhuo.
Sun Jian himself also had a great grudge against Dong Zhuo. The princes challenged Dong to get military achievements for free, and it would not be possible not to go. However, after this trip, Jingzhou was far away from him, which became the eternal pain for Sun.
After Sun Jian's death, Sun Ce kept mourning for three years, which is 27 months. Many people say that Sun Ce should immediately attack Liu Biao to take revenge and take Jingzhou, killing two birds with one stone.
Some people also say that Sun Ce should return to the army to attack Lujiang immediately and then occupy Jiangdong. Yes, not keeping his father's filial piety can indeed save valuable time, but he cannot afford the price Sun Ce has to pay.
Sun Jian fought in the east and fought, and finally accumulated a little reputation, but he was still looked down upon by old guys like Lu Kang. If Sun Ce dared not to keep his father's filial piety for three years, then there would probably be no one under Sun Ce's subordinates. Not only is there no one now, but there will be no one in the future.
These 27 months are very important. Although Sun Ce has grown up during this period, he also realized the importance of a strategist and invited Zhang Hong to leave, it is indeed a pity that the time he wasted was delayed. The momentum of the Sun family's rise was interrupted, and it is still difficult to start again.
In history, Sun Ce attacked Lu Kang, Lujiang in 194, and fought for more than a year, just because he had no counselors and few soldiers. Of course, the old man Lu Kang was also stubborn and looked down on the old Sun family.
In the end, half of the people in the Lu family starved to death. Lu Kang couldn't hold on anymore. He died of worries and anger not long after surrendering. From then on, Lu Gong hated the Sun family deeply and changed his name to Lu Xun. Sun Le, the Sun Le. He was determined to drive out the Sun family, but in the end, it seemed that he could not succeed. After all, the hatred would dissipate with time. Moreover, Sun Ce was assassinated and died.
The reason why Sun Ce killed the famous scholars and wealthy families in Jiangdong when he pacified Jiangdong was to kill the mess quickly, pacify Jiangdong as soon as possible, and regain the wasteful time in the previous few years.
It can be said that Sun Ce's plan was successful, or that Sun Ce's plan failed. Sun Jiabofu, who was particularly envious and jealous, was also particularly able to attract hatred. In the end, he followed his father's footsteps at the age of 26.
After Emperor Sun ascended the throne, he was decisive in the family and outside the family, killing many people very much. The main reason is that he was not convinced that there were too many wealthy families in the Sun family. The Sun family could only dominate but not kingly ways. Domineering things, once they drove, it was easy to stop the car.
Tao Qian is still alive now, and it will not take Liu Bei until the end of 194 to obtain Xuzhou. Yuan Shu has no idea to attack Xuzhou yet, nor has he asked Lu Kang for food. The battle between Sun Ce and Lu Kang will not start for half a year.
So time is still there, everything is just right.
It was almost a year before Sun Ce crossed the river and fought and attacked the Niuzhu Mountain Camp. As for how Sun Ce integrated the interior and how he was invincible as a god descending to earth, he was all occupied by the six counties in Jiangdong, so I won’t say it for the time being.
Wang Rui's courtesy name was Tongyao, and was from Linyi, Langya (now Linyi City, Shandong Province). He was a minister of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the uncle of Wang Xiang, the Taibao of the Jin Dynasty who was begging for li. He was born as a filial and honest person and was moved to the governor of Jingzhou.
However, Liu Yao still used Zu Rong and Xue Li to station troops near Moling City (it should have occupied the important land of Shitou City in later generations) as the second line behind the river bank defense line to consolidate Moling.
Liu Yao underestimated Sun Ce's ability and did not make a correct judgment. Since the defense line on the river bank was lost, he should recruit the old troops to retreat to Niuzhu, or add the place where the Xierong Xue Li was stationed around Moling to consolidate the food storage. Although Niuzhu was dangerous, the risk of the profits and other dangerous things had proved that it could not be stopped. How safe can Niuzhu be? On the contrary, in order to avoid the pursuit of Zhang Ying's naval army, Sun Ce quickly captured Niuzhu camp and supplemented the equipment and food in the camp. The battle of Qu'a was basically over.
The Niuzhu Camp was earned by Zhou Yu and Zhou Shang. Liu Yao was too confident in his defense line, but Zhou Shang and Zhou Yu's betrayal was too sudden. After Sun Ce broke through the defense line and crossed the river, he failed to respond in time, resulting in repeated defeats. Xue Li, who was near Moling, was later defeated by Sun Ce, so Liu Yao had to escape to Yuzhang. His later contribution was to kill the evil thief, Zurong.
