Chapter 2 Jianghuai and Jiangdong
Originally, the side hall was full of joy after a meal, but the words on the light curtain directly caused the indoor temperature to drop by more than ten degrees, and it seemed that a cold wind blew.
"Jiangdong rats, you are really untrustworthy! Sun Quan! I swear to kill you!" Liu Bei was furious, and Kong Ming had to comfort him gently.
"Don't worry, lord!"
It has been more than two years since Kong Ming visited him three times. He knows the feelings of the three sworn brothers too well.
"Since what the light curtain said is something that has not happened in the future! Isn't this the ancestor of the Han Dynasty warning the lord to let General Guan avoid this disaster?!"
A good advice finally made Liu Bei's IQ online again. The handwritten letter from his second brother on his chest also reminded him: The second brother is now following Zhou Gongjin to fight Nanjun, and he is so lively now!
Liu Bei, who calmed down, became more nervous:
"Kong Ming... Will we be traitors in the future?"
Kong Ming couldn't answer, and the words on the light curtain were still telling at his own pace.
【We all know that Dongwu was a regime established by the Jianghuai external forces to suppress the local forces in Jiangdong. To put it bluntly, it was to cut the leeks of the local nobles and make room for their subordinates such as Cheng Pu and Han Dang. 】
【Historical records show that Sun Ce was killed by Xu Gong's three followers, but how these three followers sneaked into Jiangdong and how they accurately found Sun Ce who was alone, and who prepared weapons for them, etc., are not clearly stated in the history books, but we have reason to believe that the Jiangdong nobles played a very shameful role in it. 】
【Sun Quan and Sun Ce are very different. They have neither determination nor perseverance, and their methods tend to be gentle. But the Jiangdong nobles will not forget the blood debt with the Sun family, and Sun Quan will not quickly take the Jiangdong nobles as confidants. This is the root cause of the unrest in Jiangdong Sun Wu. 】
"Accurate!" Kong Ming praised while copying, and was deeply touched by the internal contradictions of the Sun Wu group.
Before the Battle of Red Cliff, Jiangdong was like a raging fire, and the grievances between the Jianghuai faction and the Jiangdong nobles were almost irreconcilable.
The Jiangdong nobles did not care whether their lord was surnamed Sun or Cao. Sun Quan, Zhou Yu and other Jianghuai factions from outside were determined to fight Cao to the end.
In this situation, Liang Ming was sent to Jiangdong as an envoy, and he temporarily tied the Jiangdong nobles to Sun Quan's chariot after a debate with many scholars, and finally won a great victory in Red Cliff.
[So how was the fragile balance between the local faction and the foreign faction in Jiangdong broken? To understand this, we must first pay attention to a person who is often overlooked in Red Cliff: Pang Tong, who is as famous as Zhuge Liang. ]
[Pang Tong is familiar to everyone, but the impression of drama fans is still that he offered a series of tricks to help Zhou Yu with fire attack, and later surrendered to Liu Bei, and finally died in Luofengpo, which can be called a premature death. ]
Pang Tong surrendered to me? Liu Bei's face suddenly burst into an unconcealable smile. He has always been in a state of thirst for talents, and often feels that the talents under his command are not enough.
When he met Sima Hui, Sima Wei said, "There are Fu Long and Feng Chu here." I didn't expect that these two would eventually come to his command!
As for dying young in Luofengpo in the future... it doesn't matter at all! Isn't it enough to strictly order him not to approach Luofengpo?
Luofengpo, it doesn't sound like a good name. Why is Shi Yuan so careless? Liu Bei has already begun to sigh for his future counselor in his heart.
[But the veil of the novel is lifted. Pang Tong is a native of Jingzhou, the son of Pang Degong, a big family in Xiangyang, Jingzhou. Later, he was also recruited as Gongcao. Strictly speaking, he is a minister of Liu Biao. ]
[Later, Cao's 800,000 troops came over, and several counties in Jingzhou became separatist. Later, Zhou Yu attacked Nanjun, and Pang Tong directly became Zhou Yu's subordinate. Did the audience taste something? 】
【Yes, Pang Tong changed sides smoothly! In-depth analysis shows that this was actually a kind of loyalty from the local nobles in Jingzhou. After the Battle of Chibi, Zhou Yu's reputation was known to the world, and his deterrent power was fully utilized. What else could they do if they did not pledge allegiance? You should know that Zhou Yu once killed many Jiangdong nobles together with Sun Ce. Jingzhou and Jiangdong are neighbors, so they are very clear about these things. 】
【But unfortunately, Zhou Yu died not long after. Pang Tong traveled thousands of miles to Jiangdong to mourn Zhou Yu, and then he directly surrendered to Liu Bei. 】
【It is not difficult to guess the inside story. Pang Tong probably represented Jingzhou to negotiate the terms, and they failed to reach an agreement in the end. 】
【Here, in the novel, there is also a story about Zhuge Liang making Zhou Yu angry three times. Of course, we all know that it is a fabrication in the novel. The historical Zhou Yu was magnanimous and magnanimous. Praised as "a great hero in the world, a handsome and romantic man in Jiangzuo."]
[As for the cause of death, the official history records that Zhou Yu was hit by a stray arrow when attacking Nanjun, and died of illness in Baqiu on the way to conquer Shu the following year. Most likely, he was infected with inflammation after being shot and never recovered, leading to his death.]
"Three times of angering Zhou Yu?" Zhuge Liang was stunned. What was this? And why did he want to anger Zhou Yu? Zhou Gongjin is now the Grand Commander of Dongwu. He has just defeated Cao Cao and is about to conquer Nanjun and defeat Cao Ren. He is in the limelight. As for Lord Xuande... Now he can't say that he has nothing, but he can only say that he is penniless, and he has no grudge against Zhou Yu...
"Zhou Gongjin is actually dying soon?" Liu Bei murmured.
Guangmu said a lot just now, but he didn't mention Zhou Yu at all. Liu Bei was still confused at the time, but he didn't expect that it would be an early death. Sun Quan lost his right-hand man, and it can be foreseen that it will be more difficult to control the Jiangdong nobles.
Zhao Zilong sat aside and quietly recorded what the light screen said, not easily expressing his opinion.
[Zhou Yu's death led to a series of consequences, such as the Jingzhou nobles who could only kneel down and act like dogs in front of Zhou Yu dared to negotiate with Sun Quan. ]
"The idea of lying down and being a dog..." Liu Bei shook his head and wanted to say it was ridiculous, but in the end he changed it to a kinder word: "It is insulting to gentlemen."
"This ancestral apparition seems to be showing us the things of future generations." Kong Ming did not forget to shake his feather fan even in winter and said with a smile: "Just like the pre-Qin Dynasty did not care about King Zhou Shangtang, maybe our nobles at this time are From the perspective of future generations, it’s not worth mentioning.”
[What do the Jingzhou gentry want? All powerful people from ancient times to the present have wanted more or less autonomy. It would be nice to think that the imperial power would not go to the countryside. In fact, the Jingzhou gentry also succeeded. After Liu Biao's death, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun recommended Liu Cong, born of Cai's daughter, to succeed Jingzhou as pastor, thus achieving the goal of Jingzhou's tyrants to control Jingzhou themselves. 】
[Now that Zhou Yu is dead, Sun Quan cannot promise the Jingzhou gentry the right to autonomy, so the Jingzhou people have found a new target: Liu Bei! At that time, Uncle Liu Huang had no one, so whether he wanted to take over Jingzhou, he had to rely on Jingzhou's powerful people, and what happened to Liu Biao might be repeated in Uncle Liu. 】
[Therefore, after Pang Tong defected to Liu Bei, he later borrowed Jingzhou to go along with the flow. Jingzhou's powerful people were defying Sun Quan, and Sun Quan himself was eager to get rid of this burden so that he could concentrate on dealing with the internal conflicts that broke out due to Zhou Yu's death. 】
[From 208 AD to 219 AD, this was a period of rapid development for Liu Bei. He captured Yizhou in territory; Huang Zhong and Ma Chao came to surrender in terms of gathering talents; military victory in the Battle of Hanzhong, Huang Zhong's formation defeated Xia Houyuan and Guan Yu The seven armies flooded shocked China. 】
[As the saying goes, Liu Bei's uncle Sun Quan couldn't sit still because he was afraid that his brother would suffer hardship and he was also afraid that his brother would drive a Land Rover! 】
[Lü Meng and Lu Xun teamed up to play a trick of crossing the river in white clothes, launched a fatal sneak attack against their allies, completely captured Jingzhou, and chopped off the head of Guan Yu and Guan Ping. 】
[In the same year that Guan Erye was killed in a sneak attack, Lu Meng also died of illness in a very cooperative manner. Therefore, when Liu Bei attacked Wu two years later, Lu Xun became the only choice to lead the army. 】
[After Lu Xun burned the camp for 800 miles in the Battle of Yiling, Sun Wu inevitably fell into a situation where the host and the guest changed positions, which led to the later struggle between the Jiangdong wealthy family and the Sun Wu royal family becoming more intense, and eventually their demise. 】
[How can a regime that is busy with internal strife talk about unifying the world? 】
Liu Bei looked at the picture in the light curtain in trance:
Zhou Yu, with a handsome face, lay in Xiao Qiao's arms and sighed, "How can I be bright when I am born with Yu!"
The unattractive-looking Pang Tong had an arrow in his chest. He stared at the sky and sighed helplessly: "Today's death is destiny!"
Another talented man "Liu Bei" was crowned emperor in Chengdu, and then the scene changed to show a group of Sun Wu soldiers crossing the river disguised as merchants. In the end, the Guanzi flag on the city was cut down and trampled into powder in the muddy water.
The other "second brother" was ordered by Sun Quan to cut off his head and offer it to Cao Cao. The other "Liu Bei" was angry and raised an army. As a result, he watched Yiling being burned all over the sky and turned into ashes.
The scene turned again, and "Liu Bei" with a blank face was telling "Kong Ming" his last words: "If the heir can assist, assist him; if he is not talented, you can take it yourself."
[So in the view of Lord UP, after Yiling, Sun Wu completely lost the world! 】
[Okay, let’s stop here for this issue. Pay attention to likes and don’t get lost. In the next issue, we will continue to talk about how the Cao family lost this world! 】
"Is this... my future with the Han Dynasty?" Liu Bei said in a seductive voice.
His ally was stabbed in the back, his second brother was beheaded, and he himself was burned to death from anger, heart attack, and illness.
The opening title at the beginning of the light curtain further explains that the "Ji Han" he established died after his second death, and that although the world was divided into three parts, it eventually returned to the Jin Dynasty.
"Lord, why don't you hurry up and give it a like!" Kong Ming reminded while sorting out the manuscript he had just jotted down in a hurry. It seems that these few words are the key to continuing to see the manifestations of the ancestors.
Liu Bei looked confused and tried to imitate the icon on the light screen and gestured like a thumbs up: "Is this so?"
A golden light flashed on the light screen, and then a text appeared: [Update next video in one month]
Liu Bei was relieved. It seemed that he had made the right mistake by accident, but then he became worried about another thing: "Kong Ming, do you think we need to make up for some sacrifices?"
"My lord, don't worry." Kong Ming pondered for a while and said boldly: "In my opinion, most of the people in this light curtain are from later generations, and we are his ancestors, so it is best not to use livestock."
"That makes sense!" Liu Bei clapped his hands. He had trained under Lu Zhi after all, and then he had an idea. He looked around and simply took off the jade pendant on his waist:
"Since we are facing the younger generation, it is not appropriate to treat them like animals. It is better to face them with a normal mind."
Liu Bei simply pulled out a piece of paper, filled it with pen and ink, wrote a note, and handed it to the light curtain along with the jade pendant:
"Future descendants, this information of yours is priceless. We hope you will have more spiritual manifestations. This jade pendant is not worth mentioning, so I have the right to thank you in advance!"
The light curtain seemed to understand, a ray of light flashed, and the jade pendant in Liu Bei's hand disappeared.
When the matter came to an end, Kong Ming frowned and looked at the text of the light curtain recorded in his hand, and said softly:
"My lord, if there is such a manifestation, it is best to recall the two generals Guan and Zhang back to discuss it. The next thing needs to be planned in detail."
"Ah, that's what I planned too." Liu Bei also knew clearly how important and powerful information it is to grasp the future opportunities, and it was rare for him to show his heroic side at this time:
"Kong Ming, we will never let the tragedy of our second brother happen again!"
