Chapter 344 Quan Daxi
Let’s talk about Gu Yong’s official sent by his subordinates, Xing Da, a native of Kuaiji, to send the official documents he wrote to Jiangling camp to meet Sun Quan.
This matter was very urgent. Xing Da quickly rushed, crossed the river, and finally arrived at Jiangling Camp.
At this moment, there were only more than 20,000 naval troops left in Jiangling Camp. All infantry troops had been pushed up and confronted the Guan family. The remaining naval troops were used as support.
Sun Quan did not have the courage to use the navy as an infantry army and suppress it. Because if the matter was defeated, there would be no one to connect with the people and lose everything.
Sun Quan sent Gu Yong as the prefect of Changsha and ordered Lu Su to go to Youjiangkou to mobilize taxes, and there was nothing else to do, and he just waited for the two of them to repay him all day long.
On this day, Sun Quan was idle and was bent his bow with Ling Cao, who was left behind in the camp, to entertain him.
However, Guan Ping brought Gan Ning to Liu Bei, which changed not only Gan Ning's fate, but also Ling Cao's fate. This Jiangdong tiger general was not shot to death by Gan Ning as in history.
Currently, he is one of the generals under Sun Quan.
The man has a square face with tiger eyes and a strong figure, and ape's arms are good at shooting.
On the training ground, there was an arrow target. Ling Cao rode a red horse, holding a strong bow, wearing a narrow-sleeved robe, riding a horse and setting it up, bending his bow and shooting archery endlessly.
The arrow bag was cleared, and all ten arrows were in the center of the red heart, with a remarkable record.
After Ling Cao cleared the arrow bag, he rode his horse to Sun Quan and said, "Lord." Sun Quan was wearing a narrow-sleeved black robe, and was also holding a bow and riding an arrow bag on his back.
The Sun family is a general. Sun Jian, Sun Ce and Sun Yi are all talented as powerful generals, and they can shoot when riding horses. Although Sun Quan is not as good as his brothers, he is also skilled in archery and horses.
"The general is true and good at shooting." Sun Quan first praised Ling Cao, and then asked the personal soldiers around him to pull out the arrows of the target. Sun Quan clamped his feet and rode his horse to shoot. He also rode his horse back and forth ten times, shooting out ten arrows, but only six arrows hit the red heart, and the rest fell outside the red heart.
"But I haven't shot an arrow for a long time and I've become much more unfamiliar." Sun Quan said.
"Mr. Wu doesn't have to worry about it. After all, riding and shooting is just a small path. Marquis Wu is the real skill to rule Jiangdong." Ling Cao said with a smile.
"Hahahaha." Sun Quan laughed, and at this time, Sun Quan's chief clerk, Kan Ze, stepped in, holding a piece of silk cloth in his hand.
Sun Quan immediately handed the bow to Ling Cao and turned over and dismounted.
Kan Ze had a very young face and elegant demeanor, and was a Confucian scholar of the world. He came to Sun Quan with a silk cloth and said, "Wu Hou, this is written by Lu Su, and it was very smooth to dispatch taxes from four counties."
When Sun Quan heard this, he showed joy on his face. He looked at Lu Su's documents carefully. Although Lu Su was not in tune with the daily routine, he was extremely experienced in dealing with things.
Let’s not talk about Changsha, Wuling, Lingling and Guiyang counties. They are very far apart from each other and have no possibility of connecting them. They are also afraid of Jiangdong Bingfeng and dare not refuse to follow.
After Lu Su took office and issued documents to the three counties, the three counties tried their best to plunder food, wealth and provide military food.
The military rations obtained are more than 10% or 20% or 20% or 30%. If you dispatch 20% or 30% or 30% or 30% or less from Jiangdong, you can transfer 20% or 30% or 30% or less.
This is more profitable.
"Lu Zijing is indeed good." Sun Quan exclaimed and was overjoyed.
Kan Ze and Ling Cao were also smiling.
But there were good news one after another. A sound of horse hooves sounded, but Changsha official Xing Da entered the horse. There was nothing to do in the military camp, and the horse could not be driven, otherwise it would be possible.
Xing Da was originally a minor official from the Sun Quan shogunate, so he naturally recognized Sun Quan. He turned over and dismounted, took out the bamboo tube, handed it to Sun Quan, and said, "Wu Hou, this is Gu Changsha (Gu Yong), a handwritten letter."
Sun Quan also thought of another evil in Jingnan. Shamoke took the bamboo tube and took out the silk cloth. After seeing it, Sun Quan frowned and snorted coldly: "A stupid worm with money greed."
As he said that, Sun Quan handed the silk cloth to Kan Ze who was beside him. After Kan Ze saw it, he handed it to Ling Cao. Ling Cao actually doesn't matter. What am I a general?
But since Kan Ze handed it over, he took a look. After Ling Cao looked at it, he frowned and said, "Wuhou, although Shamoke is powerful among the barbarians in Wuxi, I also heard that his soldiers are vulnerable. He is so arrogant. I ask to lead tens of thousands of soldiers to defeat them."
But people like Shanyue and Wuxi barbarians are really birds of a feather. However, Shanyue’s combat power is much stronger than Wuxi barbarians.
Like a Jiangdong general like Ling Cao, everyone has the experience of suppressing Shanyue. Give Ling Cao a deputy general, Ling Cao was confident that he could defeat Shamoko.
This is not bragging, but really can be done.
But defeat may not be annihilation. In the deep mountains and forests, Shamoko can lead the tribe to migrate and escape. To truly destroy Shamoko, it will take several years, or even ten years.
It's like the Shanyue in Jiangdong, killing one wave, and there is another wave.
At present, it seems that even in thirty years, it is difficult to eliminate Shanyue.
As long as there are mountains, there will be mountains.
Sun Quan knew this, so he immediately rejected Ling Cao's request to send troops. After Sun Quan rejected Ling Cao's request to send troops, he said to Xing Da: "There are still gold and cloth here. Mr. Xing rests for one day and will take gold and cloth to Changsha tomorrow."
"No." Xing Da Yingnuo said, and then went down to rest under the leadership of the soldiers. Sun Quan smiled at Ling Cao and said, "General Ling is a little restless. This stupid insect is to calm down first. When the Gu and Guan family are done, they will order the general to lead the troops and attack Shamoke."
"No." Ling Cao agreed with a loud voice.
In general, Sun Quan was happy.
Lusu went south to the mouth of Youjiang River and mobilized taxes to serve as military food, which was very successful. Gu Yong controlled Changsha very smoothly, He Qi controlled Changsha's army and trained soldiers in full swing.
Shamoko is just a fool, and you can get rid of some money and money.
Is it still a matter of things that can be solved with money?
Then, first appease it, then wipe it out.
Wealth is going around in circles, aren’t you going to come back?
I heard that Shamoke was greedy for money and must have accumulated countless wealth. If you wipe it out, you might even make a profit.
In short, Sun Quan was in a very good mood and was very happy.
On that day, Sun Quan plundered the wealth in the military camp. This was prepared in advance by Sun Quan. If a war broke out, the soldiers could be rewarded immediately.
Today it was cheaper. The next morning, Xing Da led a team of people to escort gold, silver and wealth to Changsha. When he arrived in Changsha, Yan Hui escort gold, silver and wealth to Shacheng and gave the money to Shamoke.
After Shamoke got the money, although Ma Liang told Shamoke that this was the money that Shamoke had obtained through his own efforts, Shamoke still only took most of it and took half to Ma Liang, asking Ma Liang and Xiao Shun to reward the soldiers and improve the food for the soldiers.
This greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers.
This is to use your family’s money to train my soldiers and then attack your family.
And this matter is just an episode.
The world is generally peaceful.
Shi Xie in Jiaozhou was as stable as an old dog, Liu Zhang in Yizhou did not rebel, and Shanyue in Jiangdong did not rebel.
Gongsun family in Liaodong continues to be a little transparent person.
Although the princes of Guanxi in Liangzhou occasionally had friction, they were generally stable.
After Cao Cao withdrew his troops and returned to the north, he trained his troops and prepared for the western expedition. And the Guan family was both training troops and waiting for the autumn harvest.
Sun Quan is also waiting for the autumn harvest.
Harvest is not a matter of one place, it is often a large area of things.
The autumn harvest in the entire northern Jingzhou, southern county and Xiangyang area is over. More than one million people may need the Guan family to provide military rations until the autumn harvest next year.
So the Guan family's Fangling, Jiangxia and Hanzhong were not affected, and they were all large in population and produced a lot. There is still hope for next year.
Under such circumstances, the Guan family is vicious, hoping that Hanzhong, Jiangxia and Fangling will have a good harvest, while Jiangdong will have a drought and poor harvest, and even a dead harvest.
The so-called mountain cross means mountain people. The environment in the mountains is bitter. If the autumn harvest is a good harvest, it will naturally be peaceful. If the harvest is not enough, the mountain cross will definitely take action.
As the saying goes, whenever the food is not harvested, the mountains begin to move.
Before Sun Quan launched his troops this time, the generals of Jiangdong were all distributed in the vast land of Jiangdong and guarded the city. Young generals like Xu Sheng were all county magistrates.
Huang Gai was also in charge of four county towns in Jiangdong.
The general led the elite troops to defend the city separately. People say that the four battles in the Central Plains were also the four battles in some ways.
There is no solid rear at all.
In history, Sun Quan often sent troops to the north to attack or guarded against the Wei army, and had mountain and Yue actions, but the rear was unstable, and Quan refused to surrender, and then both sides stopped their troops.
Shanyue is a time bomb.
As for the Guan family cursing and Sun Quan's expectation, Sun Quan won. After Cao Cao withdrew from the army, not only the Jiangdong area, but also the Jianghuai area, Jingzhou, Yizhou, and the entire south of the Han Dynasty, there were basically good weather.
It is September and the fields are full of food, so this year it will definitely be a bumper harvest.
In this environment, it is not easy for Shanyue to rebel because of sufficient food. The people of Jiangdong could have enough food. Before that, Zhang Zhao listened to Sun Quan's order and recruited troops in Jiangdong to defend the county town.
If there is food to eat, the new soldiers are of course very high morale.
It is said that Jingzhou area is also a bumper harvest. The grain produced in the four counties of Jiangxia, Changsha, Wuling, Guiyang and Lingling in Jingnan is a lot of money and grain.
Abandoning all kinds of losses, it can support more than 100,000 troops ahead, with 30% of the expenses. The road to grain is no longer long, no longer one.
For Jiangdong, the overall behavior is great.
The news summary was that Sun Quan and his side were cheering and cheering. However, the Guan family was very sad and sighed, and only felt that the future was much darker.
Turning back to Shacheng, the whole south is full of good weather, and naturally includes the range of barbarian activities in Wuxi. On the small plain outside Shacheng, rice is full and golden.
The farmers smiled happily, their faces filled with joy of harvest, and their sense of happiness. Shamoko, who defected to the Guan family, couldn't sit still in the city, so he turned over and took his horse with his guards, and went to the valley to see Ma Liang.
