Chapter 59 Draw the salary from the bottom of the kettle
"Father, what's the matter?" Sun Yu saw her father's expression like this, and knew that there must be a reason for it, so she quickly asked.
"Ruan's leader said that Shi Wu of the Shi family ran to them and wanted to conspire with him to recapture Jiaozhou, but now he has taken it down." Sun Jing was a little surprised. No one expected that at this time, the only remaining "old immortal" of the Shiwu family would run out again.
"Didn't Shi Wu turn to Liu Bei? Why did he come to Jiaozhou again?" Sun Yu was also extremely surprised to arrive at this. Sun Jing pondered for a long time, and finally said uncertainly, "It seems that Liu Bei wants him to come to Jiaozhou to disturb here. Fortunately, he was taken down by Ruan Fugui. Otherwise, with the old connections of the Shi family, he may really make him do something." Speaking of this, Sun Jing was also secretly glad. Fortunately, Shi Wu went to Ruan Fugui, who was used to seeing the wind and rudder. Otherwise, if it were someone else, he might have been plotting how to attack Bushan County now.
"Well, I'm really looking for my own death. He didn't think about it. Our Sun family has occupied Jiaozhou for six years, and even Shi Xie has turned into a headless ghost. How can it be his turn to be arrogant? Sun Yu was a little disdainful. Although Sun Jing agreed with her son's words, she still asked people to inform Ruan to take Shiwu to Bushan County, where Yulin County is located, before making plans.
The seven counties of Jiaozhou, namely the seven counties of Nanhai, Cangwu, Gaoliang, Zhuya, Yulin, Guanzhu and Jiaozhi. Its jurisdiction is probably today's Liangguang region and Hainan Island, as well as some places in eastern and northern Vietnam. Jiaozhou has fertile land and rich products. The rice can be cooked three times a year, and there are many fishing grounds near the sea. However, due to the scarcity of people, it has not been fully developed.
In Jiaozhou during the Three Kingdoms period, the Han people and Cham people lived as a mixture. Specifically, the Cham people were mainly distributed in the two counties of Jiaozhi and Yulin, that is, later Vietnam and Guangxi. Compared with the Han people, the Cham people are undoubtedly more backward, and the whole people are still composed of large and small tribes. However, the Cham people are very ambitious. They have always wanted to expel the Han people from Jiaozhou so that their family can dominate, so the two ethnic groups have been attacking and killing each other. When Shi Xie was in Jiaozhou, although he was also a local snake, he was powerless to completely settle the dispute between the Han and the Chams, so he had to live in his own territory. As for Zhang Jin, the governor of Jiaozhou sent by the imperial court, Suo's surname was killed by the Cham people. Since then, for a long time, the position of Jiaozhou governor has been vacant. It was not until the Sun family occupied here that the situation improved. Sun Ce first replaced the Shi family to occupy Jiaozhou, and Sun Quan followed Zhao Feng's method of dealing with Shanyue to calm down several large Cham tribes and mixed the people of the two ethnic groups, which slightly eased the contradiction.
The leader of Ruan mentioned by Sun Jing and Sun Yu was Ruan Fugui, the leader of a large tribe of the Cham people in the past. After Sun Quan pacification of several tribes, he saw that his tribe could not compete with it, so he led his troops to surrender. As for Shiwu, he is the last man of the Shi family. Although when he was in Jiaozhou, the Shi family and Ruan Fugui were still a little friends, but from time to time, the Sun family was now occupying Jiaozhou. Ruan Fugui actually tied him up and gave it to Sun Jing in the face of Shiwu who came to lobby him to join forces against Sun Jing.
"It's really Shiwu!" In Jiaozhou Mufu, Sun Jing also sighed slightly when she saw Shi Wu tied up like a zongzi and was escorted into the hall by two big men. However, Sun Yu, who is not very rich in life experience, is not in the mood to sigh, or just sighing is not enough to make him happy. At that moment, Sun Yu stepped forward and kicked Shi Wu, and then said proudly, "Shi Wu, there is a way in heaven, you don't go, and hell has no way to break in. If you don't let the good General Jingzhou do it, you have to come to Jiaozhou to die. You really want to die and can't blame others!"
Shi Wu was kicked and staggered, but he quickly stabilized his body and stared at Sun Yu fiercely and said, "The dog thief of the Sun family, all 34 people in our family died in your hands. But if I have a breath, I will also avenge this deep hatred!"
"Well, I wish you could be so arrogant when you die!" Sun Yu said with disdain. At this time, Ruan Fugui bowed to Sun Jing and said, "Lord Sun, this man came to our tribe and asked us to help him recapture the state. I don't dare to deal with it privately, but I'll catch it for the adults to make a deal.
"Thank you for your hard work!" Sun Jing nodded and motioned. At this time, Ruan Fugui said again, "The end of the year is approaching, and we have also brought this year's tribute. Please check it."
"It's great!" Seeing that Ruan Fugui was so interesting, Sun Jing also encouraged him to say a few words. Then she ordered a banquet to entertain Ruan Fugui to celebrate the capture of Shiwu. At the same time, Feige sent a letter to tell Sun Quan, who was in Wu County.
"Lord Sun, Mr. Sun, please!" Ruan Fugui toasted with a humble face. Sun Jing and Sun Yu were not as good as him. After drinking a few cups, they were already a little more. However, this Ruan Fugui is a good man who sees the wind and the rudder. At the beginning, he immediately surrendered at the sight of defeat. This kind of person is often very good at the wine table. Under his attentive persuasion, Sun Jing and Sun Yu, the master, drank a lot.
"Lord Sun, I don't know when Sun Zhoumu can go back to Jiangdong?" Ruan Fugui drank another glass of wine and suddenly asked.
"The Lord returned to Jiangdong, and he should not come back again in the future. If Ruan Tou has something to do, he can go to Jiangdong by himself. Sun Jing said lightly. As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a rude voice outside the door, "Please ask Lord Sun to go to Jiangdong first!"
"Huh?" Sun Jing was a little surprised when she heard the words. She looked up and saw that it was the two big men who were escorting Shiwu who entered the door, but this was not a key problem. The key was that there was a person behind them, who was Shiwu. Of course, there is no rope on the body.
"Who are you?" Sun Jing's half-drowsy head suddenly woke up and was asking herself, but she saw a group of warriors coming from the door, and their hands were full of guys.
"I am Zhang Nan, the captain under the command of Uncle Liu Huang, the Duke of the State of Qi. This is Feng Xi, a broken captain!" The first person arched his hand and smiled. Sun Jing was really shocked. She quickly got up and shouted harshly, "Ruan Fugui, what's going on?"
Ruan Fugui had been hiding behind Zhang Nan for a long time. Hearing Sun Jing's question, he leaned out his head and replied with a smile, "Lord Sun, these two generals asked me to help them bring Shiwu to see you. I don't know anything else. You'd better tell them directly!"
"You little man!" Sun Jing said angrily, turned her head and roared outside, "Guards, come on, take them down!" At this time, Sun Yu, who was not very drunk, was also awakened by his old man's lion roar. He rubbed his eyes but didn't understand what had happened.
"I won't bother you, Lord Sun. We have packed up your guards. We have more than 500 brothers, all of whom followed the tribute team led by Ruan. There are still thousands of brothers outside the city. We have opened the gate to let them in. In a word, now Bushan County, no, Yulin County no longer belongs to you!" Shi Wu also came forward and laughed at this time, but the murderous spirit in the words was still obvious.
"Bastard!" Sun Jing was furious, kicked over the table, and then pulled out her waist knife to prepare to resist. Zhang Nan and Feng Xi both hit each other. Both of them had better martial arts than him. In addition, Sun Jing was a little dizzy after drinking. Soon, he was kicked to the ground by Zhang Nan in the middle and lower abdomen. Then he put several steel knives on his neck and had to be caught. Zhang Nan ordered Sun Jing and his son to be escorted. At the same time, he ordered people to take the seal of the state animal husbandry and write several urgent documents. They all said that Yu Lin was being attacked by the Jingzhou army, so that the defenders of the other three counties could come to the rescue as soon as possible. At the same time, Gan Ning was notified, but when the defenders of the three counties went out, they immediately took advantage of the three counties.
"If it weren't for Mr. Shi Guangyuan's clever plan, I'm afraid it will take some time to calm down Jiaozhou." Zhang Nan sighed while writing a letter. Feng Xi heard his words and said with a smile, "Have you forgotten that when you were in Jingnan, even General Zhao admired Mr. Shi's talent. What's the point of this strategy?
"That's true!" Zhang Nan smiled and then asked, "You see, General Zhao should have calmed down Jiangdong now, right?"
"I think so. Those rats in Jiangdong are not enough for our army to conquer." Feng Xi nodded and said that he never thought that his old boss was now a state pastor. While talking, Zhang Nan's three forged documents have also been written, stamped with the real Jiaozhou animal husbandry seal, and sent to Jiaozhi, Gaoliang and Guanzhu counties respectively. As long as the defenders are dispatched, Gan Ning will lead people to take down the city immediately, and the defenders will become homeless lonely ghosts, with no shelter or supplies to help. In the end, they will get twice the result with half the effort.
Naturally, this is not known to Sun Quan and Zhao Feng in Jiangdong. The former has not received Sun Jing's flying pigeon letter at this time, and even if he received it, he could only get an outdated error message. As for the latter, it is leading the army to slowly advance to Poyang City.
"The defenders of Poyang are only 4,000, and most of them are county soldiers, so it is not difficult to take Poyang City. The only thing to worry about is the Sun Gao sailor in Poyang Lake. If he comes to raid the rear army when we attack the city, he will inevitably be a little embarrassed." In the advancing army, Zhao Feng said to Pang Tong.
"Yes, I didn't expect Sun Quan to get a sailor in Jiaozhou. We really underestimated him." Pang Tong sighed, but soon he comforted Zhao Feng and said, "Sun Quan's sailor is only more than 10,000 people, and it has nothing to do with the overall situation. The general only needs to send an army to guard against him when he is attacking the city. The defenders of Poyang City are not enough, so they can go down in one drum. When Poyang City is captured, Sun Gao's sailors have no logistical support. If they don't go ashore, they can only cultivate immortals on Poyang Lake!"
"That's good! Now it's November, and we have been fighting for nearly two months. Originally, we wanted to solve the problem of Sun Quan to let the soldiers celebrate the New Year at ease, but now it seems that it is difficult to achieve. Zhao Feng sighed.
"It's better to let Sun Quan be completely defeated once and for all. If I had known this, I shouldn't have kept him in the first place. Pang Tong was a little angry.
"Who would have expected that this one could make a scene in Jiaozhou? It's good to completely eliminate this future trouble. With the capital of the five southern states, we can compete with Cao Wei!" Zhao Feng changed the topic. Once Jiaozhou was paculated and Cao Wei occupied the north at the same time, the two sides almost tied in the total population. However, the grain production in the south is much higher than that in the north, which is incomparable to Cao Hen. Zhao Feng firmly believed that if there was a protracted war, Cao Yan would definitely not be able to hold on first.
"General, Poyang City is less than 40 miles away from the front, and the defenders in the city have not moved yet." Just as Zhao Feng was thinking about the big problem, the scouts sent before came back to report.
"The order goes down, camp 20 miles away from the city, and send more people to investigate the movement of the garrison." Zhao Feng came to his senses and ordered. At present, the army has been stationed and is ready to attack the city next time.
