Chapter 2818: Loyalty is worthless, let alone sending the wrong person
?? Chen''s Shipyard is not the largest shipyard in Jiangdong, but its scale is not small.
Those who want to do business in Jiangdong have no connections. It is almost impossible to get a firm foothold.
Just like businessmen saying they don’t love money, or officials saying they don’t love power, it’s okay to just listen, but you’d be stupid to believe it.
??The news that Yang Yi had apprehended the manager of Chen''s Shipyard was like hundreds of wild ducks flying around, causing unrest in all directions.
When Sun Quan received the news, his face turned green, and then turned purple.
Angry.
When he was about to send someone out, he was stopped by Zhou Yu.
Brother Gongjin…』
?Sun Quan felt a little uneasy.
?At the beginning, he also said that he must respect, obey, and be stable, but in the end, he took off the pants of the Lujiang faction? And it was the chief bookkeeper who was promoted by himself who did it. This pile of yellow mud was so precise that it was either **** or shit!
?Zhou Yu looked at Sun Quan''s expression carefully. He didn''t say anything immediately, but thought about it in his heart. He more or less guessed that the incident at Chen''s Shipyard was not ordered by Sun Quan, at least not at the moment. Of course, it is not ruled out that Sun Quan had made an explanation before, but then he couldn''t find any excuse for a while, and it was delayed until it happened by chance.
?Sun Quan’s heart was racing.
In fact, it was exactly what Zhou Yu guessed.
Xiao Quanquan had spent a lot of time trying to catch pigtails before. Not only Yang Yi, but also those like Lu Yi and Qin Bo were all doing this. However, everyone in Jiangdong was covering up for each other earlier. Yang Yi The others didn''t find any clues. Now they finally caught a pig''s tail in their hands. Why don''t they hold on tightly?
So speaking of it, Sun Quan’s fault is somewhat his own.
?But Sun Quan couldn’t recognize it at the moment! There''s no lid on the pot in his hand! It''s not that Sun Quan didn''t take responsibility... Well, let''s leave this issue aside for now, but it''s the moment of power transfer. How could he do such a thing?
Thinking of this, Sun Quan couldn''t help but resented Yang Yi for not opening his eyes.
?? Chen Wu had just left for the front line not long ago. No matter how big the matter was, he would wait until Chen Wu came back. How could he just poke Chen Wu in the back?
But Sun Quan didn''t know that this was Yang Yi''s temper. On the surface, he looked like a stable person, but in fact, he was not too stable when thinking about problems. Otherwise, historically, he would not have rushed to a safe place. They put pressure on Wei Yan, but in the end he ordered Wei Yan to burn down the plank road. The army was almost unable to retreat, and even his own life was almost lost on the road.
If he is a tolerant person, he must have waited until he was absolutely safe before going to the match. If Zhuge Liang hadn''t secretly ambushed Ma Dai on Wei Yanhou''s neck, Yang Yi would probably have died several times based on Yang Yi''s bad moves. .
??The same is true for Yang Yi now, and this matter is not handled steadily enough.
?Sun Quan was sweating slightly.
Zhou Yu saw this and sighed slightly, "I''ll take care of this." Pass my post and ask Mr. Chen to pay a visit..."
“Brother Gongjin...” Sun Quan explained, “This is really not what I meant...”
Zhou Yu nodded, "I know." Both Chen and I are from Lujiang, so it is more appropriate for me to say this. If something like this happens in the future, you should think more about the hussar’s method of winning the field..."
As to whether this is what Sun Quan really meant, it is actually not that important. Because many times, even if Sun Quan didn''t directly say what he meant, someone would still come to him.
How many people in the past and present have been able to help the tiger?
It''s just that he knows Sun Quan''s temper to a certain extent, and he will listen to the smooth talk. Even if he doesn''t get angry, he will complain, just like Zhou Yu''s advice several times before, and that time. Got Sun Quan''s gratitude?
Chen Wu has a reputation as a chivalrous man.
There are also knights from Lujiang.
??The big man may be the reason for the founding of the People''s Republic of China, Liu Tou, or it may be the legacy of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The knight-errant style is quite strong, but the knights are also divided into three, six or nine grades.
This level is not distinguished by personal force.
The lowest level ranger, such as Dian Wei.
Dian Wei was indeed a fierce man. When he was young, in order to avenge his friends, he hid in a car and killed county officials. He fled all the way and was pursued by many officials, but no one dared to really catch him. But Dian Wei is still alone after all. He has no subordinates, so no matter how powerful he is, he will inevitably die on the battlefield.
Such a ranger can only be considered the lowest level. No matter how high his personal force value is, he cannot withstand a group of kitchen knives. The better ones, at least a good man with three stakes and some subordinates who can help, are mid-range rangers. . Such as Xu Chu. Xu Chu is also a knight-errant, but he is also a powerful person in the area. He has more or less knights working for him, and he can pull up some if he really wants to build a team.
The ones further up are the heroes.
For example, Lu Su. When Lu Su was young, he was good at fencing, riding and shooting, and he had a heroic demeanor. When he was young, his family had two warehouses of grain and grass. Zhou Yu passed by and made friends with him for the first time. Lu Su was so happy that he not only gave him a warehouse of grain and grass, but also gave him a warehouse of grain and grass when he met Yuan Shu The army came to intercept. Lu Su then asked his elders to leave first, and he immediately rode up with his guards and swords, cut off the rear in person, and beheaded some of Yuan Shu''s soldiers who were chasing him. He scolded the rest before he retreated.
So Lu Su seems to be a civilian official, but he can also do the work of a military general.
As for people like Guan Yu, they are considered a rare breed. It was only after Guan Yu rejected Cao Cao that this reputation of loyalty really took off. Otherwise, if Guan Yu defected to Cao Cao, then there might be nothing wrong with Guan Erye in future generations.
Chen Wu had many rangers gathered in this way. Most of these rangers were brave and aggressive, fearless of life and death. After Sun Ce captured Lujiang, in order to recruit these people, he made Chen Wu the warlord and commanded these brave warriors. Aggressive people.
Looking at it from another perspective, which general doesn’t like his subordinates to be extremely brave? If you say you can completely control these brave soldiers, who would quit and let others supervise them?
Therefore, it can be generally inferred that when Sun Ce conquered Lujiang, he was generally unable to immediately absorb the knights and warriors of Chen Wu and others, and could only temporarily separate them and let Chen Wu command them. It may have been with the intention of slowly absorbing the differentiation in the future, but Sun Ce himself did not live long, and he was assassinated before he could truly conquer these people.
??After Sun Ce was assassinated, Sun Quan took over Jiangdong. Chen Wu was transferred to supervise the fifth school. He was kind, generous and willing to give alms, and many people from his hometown and visitors from far away relied on him. He was especially favored by Sun Quan, who visited his home several times.
??Whether Sun Quan really respected Chen Wu from his heart or had to do so, it''s hard to say. Anyway, after Chen Wu died, Sun Quan ordered "to bury his beloved concubine and return to 200 families."
?Besides life and death, there is no big deal, but to cut off people''s financial resources is to force life and death to meet each other.
?? Chen Wu''s family does not have any natural mineral resources. If he has to support his followers, how will he get the money?
Zhou Yu told Sun Quan that Fei Qian''s Juetian Law and related laws were used to restrict these people, but the hussar''s methods have always been far-reaching. They are as gentle as water when they first meet, and can be thunderous when they explode. They cannot be like Yang Yi. If you hit here and there and hit here and there, you will lose the rules and it will be easy to scare others away.
Zhou Yu looked at Sun Quan who could not sit still, so he said: "Yang Wei is loyal, but it is inappropriate... My lord does not need to punish him, just wipe it out." 』
?This is not that Zhou Yu is protecting the short Lujiang River faction, but as Zhou Yu said, it is inappropriate for the time.
??Sun Quan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Zhou Yu didn''t look angry. At the same time, he opened the small notebook in his heart and made a note for Yang Yi...
With Zhou Yu''s mediation, the situation at Chen''s shipyard was quickly calmed down, and Yang Yi released the captured steward of Chen''s shipyard. Chen''s Shipyard, on the other hand, handed over an almost unrelated big man, He, who took the blame and was charged with negligence in recording and improper handling of affairs.
??Yang Yi returned to her mansion with a sullen face, but couldn''t help but throw the paperweight on the spot!
Throw the inkstone?
That doesn’t need to be thrown.
The paperweight is solid anyway, so it can still be used after being dropped.
?Yang Yi was very angry. He didn''t know that Chen Wu was in front of the battle, but in Yang Yi''s eyes, it was indeed an excellent opportunity to defeat the three factions of old, middle and young!
The old school cannot move because this is the core strength of Jiangdong. Whether it is Huang Gai or Cheng Pu, they are at least at the level of governor. They are the stabilizer of Jiangdong. In addition, they are deeply rooted and cannot be touched easily. And the younger generation has even less reason to mess around.
So we can only focus on the middle generation. And from Yang Yi''s point of view, most of these generations followed Sun Ce back then. Now that Sun Quan has been replaced, it is an original sin in itself to fail to make a clear decision to surrender to Sun Quan!
??Yang Yi didn''t want to knock Chen Wu to death, he just wanted to shake the mountain and knock the tiger. At the same time, Chen Wu himself was a ranger and was surrounded by ordinary people. Even if he really lost face, what''s the harm? It''s just the idle men in the market who have gained some power. Why should we worry about the face of these libertines?
This is naturally the consistent thought of the gentry disciples. Yang Yi originally thought that he and Sun Quan were of the same mind. As soon as he made a move, Sun Quan stepped forward to mediate. On the one hand, he could stabilize the situation, and on the other hand, he could also beat the black-hearted thieves. However, he never expected that it was Zhou Yu who sent someone When he came out, the fire was extinguished before it even started.
The key is to make outsiders laugh!
Politics is all about compromise. Naturally, many people are not satisfied with this result, but that’s it.
?It’s just that this time, Zhou Yu will mediate, and what about next time?
…（o□`o）…
??Things in Jiangdong are difficult to go smoothly, and neither are the battles in the Western Regions.
Eight years of Taixing, spring, late February.
The rainy season here in the Western Region is biased towards the summer season, so after the first few rains continued, it gradually stopped. There won’t be such a long period of rainfall in the next period of time, and then it will probably be June when there will be longer-lasting rainfall, and the rainfall belt will move south.
?Hence, this period of time is used to rush on the road, which is naturally the best window for marching.
After the weather became clear, the ground soon became dry and hard.
Lü Bu personally led the army and continued westward.
?The clouds of spring rain dispersed, and the dark clouds of war shrouded the Western Region.
?In order to boost the morale that was somewhat scattered due to the rain, Lu Bu also specially held an expedition ceremony again, and then led an army of 200,000 to the west in a mighty manner.
Lu Bu''s plan was to conquer Chigu again before the summer rainy season came, and then repair around Chigu. After the rainy season passed, he would immediately advance troops, and then conquer Dawan before winter.
Lü Bu was full of ambition.
Wei Xu has been very busy during this period. On the one hand, he is trying to make up for his previous shortcomings. On the other hand, he really wants to help Lu Bu achieve the feat of defeating Dawan again.
After all, if there is such a merit as the victory of Dawan, then almost all the previous deficits and wages can be wiped out!
War naturally requires the consumption of various items, food and grass, so weren’t all the previous accounts simply checked off?
Since the accounts of materials, food, grass and money have been written off and settled, doesn’t it mean that there are no more charges? This is like the later feudal dynasties opening warehouses to release grain in the name of disaster relief, adding more cold water to make porridge, and the previous grain rats will naturally cease to exist.
There is no shop like this after passing this village!
?So Wei Xu naturally kept encouraging Lu Bu and patted his chest to show that there was no problem! Even if he is busy day and night and is almost exhausted, he still grits his teeth and says he is a real man!
And Lu Bu, who may not be very clear about it, couldn''t help but sigh with emotion when he saw that Wei Xu had worked so hard for a period of time, and his jaw was tired. He felt more and more that since his brothers and subordinates were so supportive and willing to follow him to make contributions, it was natural. I feel that Dawan must be defeated!
?It''s a pity that if Lu Bu could read more, he might be able to understand that Li Guangli''s attack on Dayuan was actually not easy...
?Dawan is really not something that can be defeated just by fighting.
??At that time, Li Guangli, the general of the Second Division, led fifty school captains and captains, 60,000 cavalry, 60,000 war horses, 10,000 camels and donkeys each, and fully loaded with grain and grass to conquer Dawan.
Nowadays, Lu Bu has a full army of 40,000 people. There are slightly more horses, but only 50,000. Of course, there are not many camels, and there is even less food and grass.
??Li Guangli also brought a number of craftsmen during his western expedition to prepare for the attack, while Lu Bu only brought some craftsmen with the army to repair the damaged utensils along the way, and the number was not very large.
??At that time, Li Guangli went on an expedition. In order to ensure logistics, Emperor Wu sent 180,000 county and state troops to station in the four counties of Hexi. He also used 100,000 cattle to transport grain and grass to seven families in the world. As a result, two new types of troops have even emerged. One is the "private servant", that is, a person who rides his own horse, uses his own weapons, and even brings his own servants to fight, providing strength and equipment. The second is "Milkers", which refers to volunteers who volunteer to join the army. These people are not as rich as those who are private servants, and they only contribute their efforts but not the equipment.
??As for Lu Bu''s current logistics and transportation, he only relies on himself. There are no seven subjects, let alone "private followers" and "strugglers".
??When Li Guangli attacked Dayuan, he divided his troops into two groups, taking the northern route and the southern route. He eliminated all those who were restless among the countries in the Western Regions. This was a complete shock to the countries in the Western Regions. At the same time, in order to win over Wusun and take care of the safety of his flanks, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not hesitate to sacrifice his royal dignity and let Princess Xijun marry for the second time...
But when it comes to Lu Bu, although the troops are divided into two groups, the southern front of the Western Region is basically empty. Well, in fact, it was not completely empty. Lu Bu sent an envoy to Congling to contact the descendants of the Meng family. It was somewhat of a helping hand, but no matter how you calculated it, it was too thin.
It''s just that Lu Bu doesn''t care about this.
Throughout his life, most of his plans were improvised.
?However, Lu Bu was not inferior to Li Guangli in commanding troops and horses. At least the speed of his march shocked the people of the Western Regions.
Among the countries in the Western Regions, heading west from Yanqi is Qiuci.
??Qiuci is a veteran dish in the Western Regions.
As soon as Lu Bu left, there was news from Kucha.
?The king of Qiuci’s surname is Bai.
Bai Su.
??Qiuca is an interesting place, as it is the intersection of four major civilizations.
India, Greece, Persia, China.
There are many grottoes in Qiuci, including the Kizil Grottoes, which are earlier than the Dunhuang Grottoes, and there are many large and small grottoes with or without names. These many grottoes mean the prevalence of Buddhist culture. , Buddhism originated in India and spread to the Western Regions at that time through the Silk Road. This was the Indian part of Qiuci that accounted for a large proportion. It was mainly influenced by religion.
In Qiuci, China has a greater influence on the economy. From the Han Dynasty to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Chinese was not only one of the main languages ????in Qiuci, but Chinese coins were also the most important currency in circulation in Qiuci. There is no need to mention the other utensils and items.
The earliest human race in Kucha should be the Indo-European race, that is, the Aryan race is a branch of ancient Europeans. Among the murals in the Kucha Grottoes, there are some obviously Greek-style portraits, and the native language of Kucha The Kucha language is also biased towards the Tocharian dialect of the Indo-European language family.
?In addition, under the invasion of Kushan Parthian, Kucha naturally also has some Persian style...
Because it is relatively close to China, there are more people in Kucha who prefer China.
When Lu Bu went on an expedition, the people of Kucha were inevitably a little worried.
After Bai Su got the news that Lu Bu was continuing his journey to the west, he immediately summoned his men for discussion. However, before they could come to any conclusion, Lu Bu had already appeared at the border of Qiuci with his troops, frightening Qiuci. Shivering up and down.
??Lü Bu was known as a flying general in later generations, and it was not entirely without purpose.
??And the whole road from Yanqi to Qiuci is basically Pingchuan. As long as you are used to the high cold and weak atmosphere of the Western Regions, if you run this way, it will be far beyond the average value of eighty days.
Due to improvements in logistics and horse equipment, Lu Bu''s cavalry can now cover about two hundred miles in a day if it marches quickly. If it is accelerated, it is possible to cover three to four hundred miles.
?Of course, if you rush to run, it may cause a lot of damage to the war horses...
?At about two hundred meters per day, even if Lu Bu''s flying general''s BUFF was functioning normally, it scared Qiuci and others to death. Bai Su, the king of Qiuci, has also led troops. He knows what the general marching speed is. Therefore, after calculation, he naturally thinks that Lu Bu leads all elite troops!
Before, Bai Su felt that Lu Bu had fewer troops, and had some inner murmurings, but at this moment he put them aside. After all, if Lu Bu had all elite soldiers under his command, even if it was calculated one to three, it would still be worth hundreds of thousands. We have troops, and claiming 200,000 is not too much!
??So Bai Su quickly ordered his younger brother Bai Shan to personally bring grain, grass, cattle and wine to Lu Bu''s place to express his condolences and express his welcome to the Han army and not to take any hostile actions against the Han army.
??But what Bai Su didn''t expect was that Bai Shan was not a good guy. Bai Shan had his own little ideas...
