Chapter 458 Undercurrent Surges

Jiang Xia.

"Following heaven's fortune, the emperor ordered that during the tenure of Jiangxia prefect Huang Zu, Jiangxia Road did not pick up relics, and the door was not closed at night. The emperor commended his achievements, and specially named Huang Zu the Marquis of Shuyang, hereby."

Liu Ye handed the emperor's edict to him and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Marquis Shuyang."

Huang Zu laughed, and stretched out his hand to take the emperor's edict from Liu Ye: "Where is it, I would like to thank the emperor and General Cheqi for their appreciation."

"I have already ordered my subordinates to set up a banquet, and please invite Mr. Ziyang to take a seat." Being named Shuyang Marquis, Huang Zu felt refreshed, and immediately invited Liu Ye to a banquet.

"No." Liu Ye waved his hand and said: "The imperial court recruited, I dare not waste time, I have to leave now."

"Okay." Huang Zu said to Su Fei, the governor under his command: "Su Fei, you will send a gift to Mr. Zi Yang."

"promise."

After Liu Ye came to Danyang County, and after Zhou Yu took over Sun Ce's edict from the emperor, he urgently wrote to Sun Ce to rush back to Danyang County. At this time, Sun Ce had pacified Kuaiji County and was dealing with the aftermath. Seeing the urgent words in Zhou Yu's letter, he led Jia Hua and more than a hundred cavalry to rush back to Danyang County from Kuaiji.

"Gongjin!"

A familiar aura came over his face, and Sun Ce rushed into the meeting room and stretched out his hand.

Clasping both hands tightly, Zhou Yu smiled and said, "Should Yu call Brother Bo Fu Wu Chenghou or Sun Diu Ni?"

Sun Ce smiled boldly: "My brother, why do you need so much red tape? Even if someone becomes a general one day, Gong Jin will still call me Brother Bo Fu more pleasantly."

Zhou Yu smiled, while Sun Ce asked, "Gong Jin hastily sent me back to Danyang County, what's the matter?"

Zhou Yu said solemnly: "Brother Bofu, when Liu Ziyang came to Wanling that day, someone left him for a banquet, but he said that he was busy with business, and the second emperor's edict had not yet been issued. Do you know that the second emperor's edict was issued?" Where are you going?"

Sun Ce frowned: "Where?"

"Jiang Xia!" Zhou Yu asserted.

"Huang Zupifu?"

Hearing this, Sun Ce's Yingwu's face twisted slightly, two rough breaths came out of his nostrils, and he punched hard on the table, making a dull sound.

If there is anyone Sun Ce hates the most in this world, then there is no doubt that it must be Huang Zu. As the so-called hatred of killing his father and taking his wife away, Sun Jian invaded Jingzhou with the support of Yuan Shu, but he fell into Kuai Liang's plan to ambush and was shot and killed under Yanshan Mountain by random arrows.

The planner was Kuai Liang, but the executor was Huang Zu.

Today, Huang Zu sits in Jiangxia and guards the east gate of Jingzhou for Liu Biao.

"Bo Fu, I know you hate Huang Zu very much, but now is not the time." Zhou Yu held Sun Ce's hand and said seriously, "Huang Zu hasn't done anything important recently, but Liu Yuqing insists on ordering Liu Ziyang to reward him." Huang Zu, clearly wants to 'remind' you intentionally, so that you don't forget the revenge of killing your father."

Sun Ce said bitterly: "I don't need him to remind me, I will never forget the revenge of killing my father in this life!"

Zhou Yu shook his head: "Liu Yuqing imitated Bian Zhuangzi's assassination of the tiger, and wanted to lure Bo Fu to lead your army to fight Huang Zu, while he himself was reaping the benefits."

"Although our army has pacified Jiangdong, there are still many lurkers everywhere." Zhou Yu persuaded: "Na Xu Gong, Yan Baihu and others have been operating in Jiangdong for many years, and there are many dead soldiers and private parties under their command. Now they are lurking in various places in Jiangdong. It’s just that you are afraid of Bo Fu’s reputation and dare not act rashly.”

"If you, Bo Fu, lead your troops to attack Jiangxia from the west, Liu Biao can't be indifferent, and you must support Huang Zu." Zhou Yu said solemnly: "Now that Liu Biao dominates the nine counties of Jingxiang and has an army of 100,000 people, if our army can compete with Huang Zu If we get entangled, the jumping clowns in the Jiangdong land will definitely jump out, and our career will be in danger by then."

Sun Ce dissatisfied: "Isn't this just right? They usually lurk everywhere in Jiangdong, and they can't find them, so they just jumped out and killed them all."

Zhou Yu shook his head and said earnestly: "Bo Fu, during the Warring States period, Le Yi led the coalition forces of five countries to conquer more than 70 cities in the Qi State. After a few years, they were unpopular. Now you and I have calmed down Jiangdong in a few months, so we need to be more careful."

After all, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu are Jin Lan's sworn friends. He sighed: "Well, tell me, what should our army do next?"

Zhou Yu said seriously: "There are three main things our army needs to do now."

"First of all, although Jiangdong has been pacified, I don't know how many private parties of dead soldiers have been buried in the dark." Zhou Yu said slowly: "Our army needs to send people to investigate all over the place and lure them out one by one. Kill them, otherwise they will sooner or later become our army's confidantes."

Sun Ce pacified Jiangdong. In history, Cao Cao once lamented that "the lion is difficult to fight for the front", but in fact the word "fast" hides a great disaster.

First of all, Sun Ce was killed by Xu Gong's retainers. After Sun Ce's death, Jiangdong was in turmoil, and the position of his successor Sun Quan was shaky. Fortunately, Zhou Yu led troops into Wujun and supported Sun Quan, which stabilized the situation.

But even so, Jiangdong was turbulent afterwards. First, Sheng Xian, the prefect of Wu County, launched a rebellion, and then there were rebellions by the local wealthy Lu He, Qin Lang and others in Wu County.

Why did Sun Quan, who had already occupied the six counties in Jiangdong, fail to expand his sphere of influence when Cao Cao pacified the Central Plains, campaigned in Hebei, and expanded his power rapidly? Sun Quan's lack of experience is one aspect. In addition, the successive rebellions in the six counties of Jiangdong have also held back the Jiangdong Army.

"Secondly, now that our army has regained Kuaiji County and Yuzhang County, it is adjacent to Shanyue." Zhou Yu said solemnly: "Shanyue is mixed with hundreds of thousands of people, which will definitely hold back our army. However, our army can also use war to support war, and gain population and soldiers by crusade against Shanyue."

Sun Ce nodded: "Well, how about appointing He Qi to attack Shanyue?"

"Yes." Zhou Yu praised: "He Gongmiao is brave and careful in using soldiers. It is perfect to use him to attack Shanyue."

"Since this is the case, appoint He Qi as the captain of Fuyue." Sun Ce ordered: "Give Gong Miao Rui 2,000 soldiers, and one should be recruited by yourself."

It took Cao Cao 7 years to pacify Hebei. Before the Battle of Guandu, Sun Ce had already dominated the six counties in Jiangdong. The mountain descended and rebelled again.

Chen Shou even said bluntly in "Three Kingdoms": The more mountains are better for rebellion, the more difficult it is to move, so Sun Quan did not hesitate to resign from the Wei family. It means that the Shanyue tribe is difficult to pacify, and they come out to rob their homes at every turn, so Sun Quan does not expand his territory outwards, and he is a vassal to the Wei State. Although it is a bit exaggerated, it can also be seen from this
