At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

Upon hearing the news, Sun Ce's eyes widened on the spot, and he yelled "Shanyue Bandits", and was about to stand up to attack.

As a result, as soon as he moved his body, he suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood and fell on the bed and passed out. Zhou Yu didn't react, and after he reacted, he hurriedly sent someone to call a famous doctor.

Zhou Yu's heart was in a mess, completely messed up, it was difficult to keep calm in this situation, so it was impossible to go on an expedition, and it was absolutely useless, so Zhou Yu had to entrust this matter to Wu Jing.

Zhou Yu asked Wu Jing to lead [-] troops to attack Danyang County and Shanyue in Yuzhang County to support Huang Gai and Han Dang.

The tide of rebellion in Jiangdong seems to be far from over.

At the same time, Wei Jun on the north bank of the river was happily accepting a large reward specially arranged by Guo Peng.

Because the army defeated Sun Ce, killed many Wu generals, and wiped out the main force of the Wu army, Guo Peng was very happy, and waved his hand to the southeast front army with a big reward.

The reward order had arrived long ago, but the content of the reward arrived later.

Zhang Liao was named Marquis of Mayi County, and [-] households were actually sealed. He was promoted to the general of Wei Guozheng Nan, and officially became the commander of the southeast front army. He was responsible for guarding the southeast war.

Xu Huang's promotion to General Hengjiang of the Wei State fulfilled his long-cherished wish of getting rid of his status as a general of Zhonglang and becoming a general. He was very happy.

The rest of the generals each have their own rewards.

Although Yu Jin and Zang Ba, Gu Yong and Mao Jie did not make great contributions, they were also rewarded for their contributions in sitting in charge, supporting and preparing logistics.

Soldiers who made great achievements in battle were rewarded with money, cattle and wine, and some soldiers who made great achievements were rewarded with promotion to military ranks. The whole army was allowed to drink and eat meat to celebrate.

Their families are rewarded with cloth, oil rice, fish meat and a certain tax reduction, and they will receive special care in the local area.

Guo Peng also intentionally rewarded the Southeast Front Army with a larger scale than the Central Plains Front Army.

Because for some time in the future, he really intends to shift the strategic focus to the southeast, first solve the Sun Wu forces in Jiangdong, and then talk about other things.

The war in the Northwest has come to an end. Guo Peng stayed in Guanzhong to deal with government affairs. When the government affairs are almost done, Guo Peng will return to Yecheng, and then arrange for the transfer of Yecheng’s Cheqi Dajun Mansion to Luoyang , I am resident in Luoyang for office matters.

Guo Jia's words moved Guo Peng, and they were also verified. Guo Peng got some inside information about the retreat of the Shu army before he learned that Sun Ce was beaten by Zhang Liao when he went north.

Anyway, this matter is inseparable from Liu Zhang. Liu Zhang must have participated in it and did some bad things.

The grain transportation road collapsed several times, and Liu Zhang was in Hanzhong, but he was extremely slow in responding to this matter, and he did not send a special person to deal with it. Eventually, the frontline Shu army ran out of food and had to retreat.

This ingenious hand-holding and micro-manipulation has the demeanor of Song Gaozong and Zhao Gou recalling Yue Fei with twelve gold medals.

They are all examples of ignoring the interests of the country for the benefit of the ruler.

Of course, it cannot be said that this is not the national interest, because success will inevitably be accompanied by fierce political struggles - who is the most suitable leader?

Without the Northern Expedition, at least there would be no political problems, and the Northern Expedition would definitely have political problems.

The emergence of political problems will also damage the interests of some countries.

If a country wants to achieve great things, political struggles must be controlled within a certain range. At least, political struggles must not arise because of who is the top leader. If the status of the top leader is questioned, it will be over, and no big things will be achieved. .

A shrewd leader will inevitably choose the former, first stabilize his position, and then talk about other things, without exception, so the upper limit of the leader's ability is the upper limit of the achievements of the country and the team.

Liu Zhang, Zhao Gou, raccoons of the same feather.

Someone Guo treated them with a sneer and indifference.

Liu Zhang, with porpoise ears, is nothing to worry about.

Liu Jingsheng, an old man, is nothing to worry about.

Sun Bofu, a young hero, is a threat enough to exist, but unfortunately he was defeated by his own black technology.

Sure enough, sure enough, science and technology are the primary productive forces.

Can the backward and reactionary Sun Wu regime compete with a powerful regime like itself?

Guo doesn't think so at all.

In late November, Guo Peng received a bulletin from the Linzi Camp.

It is said that Jia Xu has already started in Lujiang County to instigate and remotely command the centrifugal forces in Jiangdong, and command them to launch a rebellion against Sun Wu in Lujiang County, and launch an attack on the Wu army that was just defeated.

The first wave of independent rebellion has been put down by Zhou Yu and others, but during the second wave of rebellion, Shanyue's forces also joined in.

Jia Xu spent a little money, sealed some official positions, and united with some leaders of the Shanyue armed group, prompting them to launch a sabotage attack on the Sun Wu regime.

With the backing of the forces of the State of Wei, the Jiangdong local tyrants and the forces of Shanyue faintly showed signs of unity. Such signs made the generals of the State of Wu unable to respond in time and fell into a decline.

At the same time, Guo Peng got another important piece of information.

Sun Ce seems to have been seriously injured in the previous battle, and his life and death are unknown.

After he returned from the defeat, he did not appear in public, and Zhou Yu was the one doing the talking. The Wu regime also seemed to be worried about this, and there were not a few people who had doubts about it.

Because of this, Jia Xu got the information easily and told Guo Peng about it.

When Guo Peng learned that Sun Ce was seriously injured and his life and death were unknown, he suddenly felt that this world was very strange.

But how did Sun Ce get seriously injured?

who did it?

Guo Peng ordered his subordinates to investigate this matter in the sequence of the Southeast Front Army, and no matter what, they must find out the hero who seriously injured Sun Ce.

Originally, what he was worried about was only Sun Ce. If Sun Ce was gone, the Sun Wu regime could really wait for it to collapse on its own, and it would no longer be a force that could threaten its southeast defense line.

On my side, I can easily wait for the good news.

You don't need to do it yourself, you don't need to conquer it yourself, the Jiangdong people will subvert the Sun Wu regime by themselves.

Even if he can't be overthrown, he will do his best to resist and weaken him, so that he can win Jiangdong without much effort and become the master of Jiangdong.

Delicious.

Chapter 600 Six hundred nine

Of course, Guo Peng still hopes that the Sun Wu regime can be strict and not be like Jingzhou.

Liu Biao really has no power, not even qualified to be used by Guo Peng as a tool man, not even as good as Liu Zhang.

At any rate, Liu Zhang still has Dongzhou soldiers to use, but Liu Biao has nothing.

Guo Peng didn't even know who to support to weaken the strength of Jingzhou's powerful gentry.

Regardless of Sun Ce's death or not, the chaos in Jiangdong is doomed, and this chaos will surely become one of the best reliance for Guo Peng to fish in troubled waters.

Of course, there is no problem. The tide of rebellion in Jiangdong will never fade away so easily.

The Sun Wu regime had been broken by the Wei army, and the ghosts were crying and howling, and the officers and soldiers did not dare to look north, for fear that the Wei army would cross the river to fight.

Even if it appears to be very strong in the face of local rebellion, in everyone's opinion, the Sun Wu regime no longer has the deterrent power it used to have.

Before, Han Dang and Huang Gai also led the army to break through Shanyue, but this time, when the Shanyue Group made a big move, Huang Gai and Han Dang were defeated.

the reason is simple.

The leaders of the Shanyue Group set up military flags with the words "Wei" and "Guo" written on their troops, just like the Wei army on the north bank of the river.

In front of the formation of the two armies, the leaders of Shanyue unfurled the battle flag, and the Wu army on the opposite side suddenly turned pale with fright, collapsed collectively, and dared not even fight.

When the Shanyue thieves rushed over, Wu Jun took the road and fled. No matter how Huang Gai and Han Dang tried to stop them, it was useless.

Wu Jun was beaten to death by the Wei army in the north of the Yangtze River. When he saw the Wei army flag, he thought it was the Wei army crossing the river to attack. He was frightened out of his wits, and the Shanyue armed group rushed up and defeated the Wu army. lost.

This was of course guided by the secret agents of the Linzi camp. The Shanyue armed group learned a trick. Before Wu Jing led the army to come to support, they defeated the Wu army several times in a row, took advantage of a wave, and killed a lot of people. Wu Jun.

The Shanyue group cannot be called a nation. They often occupy mountains as their bases, so they are also called mountain people.

Shanyue's production method is the same as that of the Han people living on the plains. They also focus on agriculture, planting grains, and because there are mines in the mountains, they have mastered the smelting technology and made their own soldiers.

They scattered in large groups, lived in small groups, practiced martial arts well, and relying on the dangers of mountains, they formed armed groups, whose leaders were generally called Zongshuai, Dashuai and the like.

For the big warlord forces, it is in a semi-independent state.

Among this group of people were the natives of the undeveloped Jiangnan land, the Han Chinese who fled to the mountains to survive because they couldn't bear the exorbitant taxes, and even the tyrants who went to the mountains en masse to escape the war. The composition was quite complicated.

In a nutshell, it is a group of bandit armed groups living in settlements, a characteristic group force produced because of the powerlessness and chaotic state of the Han regime's jurisdiction over the south of the Yangtze River.

Since they are bandits, although they also farm, but in times of famine, bandits have one more means of robbery than ordinary people. If they can't survive, of course they will come to rob, and this has touched the local government. You didn't discuss your interests.

However, because of the complex, mountainous and watery terrain in the south of the Yangtze River, and the general combat effectiveness of the mountain people, it is quite difficult to exterminate this group of people.

It took decades for the Sun Wu regime to basically solve the problem of Shanyue, and when it was Guo Peng's turn, Guo Peng certainly would not let this group of people go.

Now send people to contact, under the guise that everyone has a common enemy, in-depth understanding and contact.

It is necessary to find out their political ecology and economic ecology, as well as the level of combat effectiveness, social organizations, etc., and more importantly, to find out where they live, as well as mountain roads, trails, secret roads, etc., and buy some people as Linzi camps. internal response.

After everything is clarified, it is probably time for Guo Peng to go south to Jiangdong.

At that time, the Sun Wu regime and this group of people, Guo will not let anyone go.

Know their settlements, know their routes, know their combat effectiveness level, find out their details...

Still want to stay semi-independent?

dream.

In addition to the population controlled by the Jiangdong gentry tyrants, the Shanyue Group also has a large number of people that can be obtained. The Sun Wu regime has obtained hundreds of thousands of nearly one million people from Shanyue. Of course, Guo can also obtain a large number of people.

Of course, the premise is to completely wipe out Shanyue's power.

Someone Guo will allow an armed group of bandits to threaten his rule?

I'm sure you didn't discuss it.

Right now, a group of prestigious and powerful Shanyue Zongshuai, such as Mao Gan, Jin Qi, Fei Zhan, Pan Lin, etc., have started traditional rebellion operations within the scope of their respective activities.

They tried their best not to deal with the Sun Wu regime. Anyway, the Sun Wu regime's strength has been greatly weakened, and it can no longer threaten them so sharply.

After this wave of Shanyue outbreaks in Yuzhang County and Danyang County, where Shanyue's power is particularly strong, the Soochow army is already on the defensive and unable to resist.

It wasn't until the army led by Wu Jing killed Han Dang and Huang Gai that the situation eased a little.

"Shanyue's thieves used the banner of Wei Gong's soldiers on the north bank of the river to play tricks to shake the morale of our army. Our army was newly defeated and its morale was taken away. When the soldiers saw the Wei army's flag, they quickly panicked and lost their fighting spirit, so they were broken by Shanyue. .”

Huang Gai was very annoyed and told Wu Jing how he was defeated by Shanyue here.

After Wu Jing learned about it, he also felt that the problem was serious. The soldiers in the army suffered from Weiphobia. They were afraid when they saw the flag of the Wei army, thinking that they were fighting with the Wei army.

"A big defeat, the army's morale was shaken, and the morale was taken away. Seeing the Wei army's battle flag, he had no choice but to escape. What should we do in the long run? It will definitely not work like this!"

Wu Jing saw that not only the soldiers, but even the middle- and lower-level officers, including some Zhonglang generals, showed fear and even fear of the Wei army.

They talked about Wei's discoloration, and their words were full of retreat, and they didn't dare to fight at all. If this continues, how can they fight?

Wu Jing found that the problem was very serious.

Wu Jing thought for a long time, but decided to tell Zhou Yu what happened here, and let Zhou Yu find a way to solve it.

The only one who can think of a way right now is Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu is indeed smart, but Zhou Yu also has a limit. After Sun Ce vomited blood and fell into a coma due to anger, Zhou Yu hadn't slept well for a while after busy work, so that the circles under his eyes were black and his spirit was listless.

Sun Ce remained awake, Zhou Yu had to sit in command, and the chaos in Shanyue in Danyang County and Yuzhang County could only be handed over to a few veterans.

At this time, the rebellion jointly launched by Shanyue and the local tyrants broke out again in Kuaiji County, gathering tens of thousands of people, the momentum was huge, and the situation that had just stabilized became chaotic again.

Zhou Yu dared to pat his chest and said, if it wasn't for the instigation of someone behind it, and the person behind it had connections with the forces of the Wei army in Jiangbei, he would have written the word Zhou upside down.

But right now, he really doesn't have any extra manpower to use, so he can only ask Sun Jing to take command of the expedition, lead Dong Xi and Ling Cao, and send [-] troops to Kuaiji County to kill the culprits, and he himself leads the remaining [-] people Sitting in Wu County.

If the heavens still have pity on Sun Wu, let Sun Wu tide over the difficulties, everyone can win, and the rebellion will be quelled smoothly.

If God does not take pity on Sun Wu, then...

Then there is no way, this cannot be reversed by manpower.

Zhou Yu could only beg God to open his eyes and let Sun Ce recover. Sun Ce's prestige is more or less meaningful to Jiangdong. He can't beat Guo Peng, but he can beat others.

But God does not seem to intend to take pity on the Sun Wu regime.

Chapter 601. 610 Will you still be Sun Bofu's best friend?

At the beginning of December, the weather was cold, and Sun Ce's physical condition was deteriorating.
