Chapter 169
Looking at Sun Ce’s headless corpse, Zhou Yu couldn’t return to his senses for a long time.
But.
Zhou Yu also knew that after all, he underestimated Gu Yi.
He naively thought that with Sun Shangxiang’s relationship, Gu Yi~ would leave Sun Ce’s life.
But actually.
Even if Sun Ce marries a few more sisters and violates Gu Yi’s core principles, it is categorically impossible to survive.
“Your Honor, it is my personal will to encourage Bo Fu to be your enemy.”
“There is no relationship between him and the Lujiang Zhou family.”
“Can Prime Minister Cheng spare more than a hundred members of the Zhou family?”
Zhou Yu laughed miserably.
Hearing this, Gu Yi couldn’t help but laugh.
“Zhou Gongjin, you are also a wise man in the world.”
“If Sun Bofu really kills me and succeeds in occupying the south, how can you people from the Lujiang Zhou family not be attached to him?”
“At that time, as long as Sun Bofu is still alive, your Lujiang Zhou family will be a meritorious noble.”
“One man has the way, and the chicken dog ascends to heaven.”
“So, do you dare to say that all this has nothing to do with the Lujiang Zhou family?”
Zhou Yu was silent.
In fact, although so far, the Zhou family has not provided Sun Ce with particular help.
But if Zhou Yu did not have the consent of the family.
How could he join Sun Ce, the “executioner of the family”?
Plainly.
If Sun Ce successfully seizes the south, the Lujiang Zhou family will receive a large dividend.
But now, Sun Ce has lost.
“Take Zhou Gongjin down.”
“Execution in a quarter of an hour.”
Gu Yi waved his hand, and the guards beside him hurriedly responded.
He personally executed Sun Ce because Sun Ce betrayed Gu Yi to some extent.
But Zhou Yu is different.
Zhou Yu is not Gu Yi’s subordinate, there is no betrayal relationship, and it is enough to be executed by the guards.
With several states in the world having been captured by Gu Yi, some small things, naturally it is impossible to bother Gu Yi for too long.
Soon.
Zhou Yu was also executed.
Before the execution, he begged to kill himself.
It’s just that the guards beside Gu Yi didn’t give him this opportunity.
As for the Lujiang Zhou family.
Gu Yi’s plan was to put all men over the age of six to death, and those over seventy and children under the age of six to the border of Liangzhou.
All women, all under military control.
Later, like the historical Cao Cheng Prime Minister, these women may be remarried and married to soldiers in the army who did not marry.
The historical Prime Minister Cao Cheng, in addition to his own love widow. In addition to women, the system of matching subordinates is also a major feature.
Of course.
The women who married were also widows who had lost their husbands.
But.
These women were basically widows taken from the enemy, not their own soldiers killed, and their widows were forcibly remarried. (emphasis added)
Therefore, although Prime Minister Cao Cheng loves Ren Qi, he has done a relatively good job of protecting the families of his own fallen soldiers.
For their own bachelor soldiers, the marriage system can also be regarded as a kind of care.
……
After dealing with Sun Ce and Zhou Yu’s affairs.
Gu Yi received Su Fei again on the shore of Niuzhu.
This battle can be won, Su Fei and Jiangxia Water Army can be said to be indispensable.
“Wen Heng, after this battle of the Southern Expedition, the imperial court will officially canonize you as the governor of the water army.” (Su Fei’s character is suspected to be Wen Heng, but I haven’t found the exact record, and it is tentatively Wen Heng.) ）
“The Jiangxia Water Army will also double its original size.”
“In the future, don’t let Prime Minister Ben Cheng down!”
Gu Yiyu said seriously.
Hearing this, Su Fei’s face showed joy, and he immediately swore an oath:
“Su Wenheng, the best of you, will go to the soup for the prime minister, and do not hesitate!”
Under Gu Yi’s account, what kind of position is the most valuable?
Of course, it was the group of heavy ministers Wen Wu who could follow Gu Yi at any time to make merits!
For example, Zhao Yun, Lv Bu, and Hua Xiong.
Don’t see that they did not participate in the battle of the southern expedition this time.
However, as long as it involves the campaign to the north, the participation rate of these fierce generals is almost 100%.
Besides.
And for the trolls.
In fact, most of the northern princes regarded the water army as a dispensable thing.
No way, the territory is almost all land, and there is no need for water troops at all.
But here in Gu Yi, he didn’t have any intention of despising the water army.
In the era of cold weapon wars, cavalry was a worthy king.
But in the era of thermal weapons, cavalry will gradually degenerate into a class eliminated by the times.
Gu Yi’s goal was not just to unify the inherent territory of the Qin and Han dynasties.
His goal is to be at the forefront of the times and build an “invincible fleet” that can run rampant overseas!
Of course.
This is really far worse for the current industrial level.
In the original history, the earliest fleet to go to Yizhou was Yan Wen Zhuge Zhi sent by Sun Shiwan.
But only two voyages.
Due to various epidemics and the wind and waves at sea, the original 10,000 people have been reduced to more than 4,000.
This incident made Sun Shiwan quite angry.
In a fit of anger, he directly executed Yan Wen and Zhuge Zhi.
His initial purpose in sending his fleet to Yizhou was to plunder the population.
But in this way, the population did not plunder much, but also damaged many soldiers.
With such a loss-making transaction, how can Sun Shiwan, a stingy person like Sun Shiwan, continue to do it?
As a result, the process of developing Yizhou slowed down.
As for the matter of going to sea to explore, the voice of the internal opposition in Soochow also became louder, and finally it was not done.
But now.
Gu Yi did not mean to reduce the Jiangxia Water Army, but also wanted to double the original expansion.
This move is naturally to pave the way for the future cause of going to sea.
After accepting Su Fei, Gan Ning came over with a grievance on his face.
I saw him “poof” and half kneeled on the ground, and said aggrievedly:
“Prime Minister, you can’t be thick and thin!”
“The number of Jiangxia Water Army has doubled, so what about our Bashu Water Army?”
Seeing Gan Ning’s aggrieved appearance, Gu Yi couldn’t help but smile and soothed:
“Xingba, your merits have always been remembered by Prime Minister Ben.”
“After Wen Heng becomes the governor of the Jiangxia Water Army, Ziyi will serve as the governor of the Bashu Water Army.”
“As for you, you will be the governor of the water army in the future!”
“Official positions and various treatment are equivalent to the generals of the four conquests.”
“Other than that.”
“In the future, the fleet under your command will not only be the Bashu Water Army and the Jiangxia Water Army, which are about 100,000 people.”
“Even 150,000, 200,000, it’s extremely possible!”
“Bang!”
It was as if a huge pie had fallen from the sky, smashing Ganning’s eyes to Venus.
Most of the water army governors!
All kinds of treatment are equivalent to the four conquest generals!
How could this temptation not make Gan Ning’s heart move?
“Xingba, are you satisfied now?”
Gu Yi quipped. (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）
Gan Ningle touched the back of his head.
As the saying goes.
Children who cry have milk to eat.
Under Gu Yi, Gan Ning received unprecedented courtesy and respect.
For Gu Yi, he was naturally loyal.
And the 50,000 Bashu water army under Gu Yi was also the result of Gan Ning’s years of hard work and night training.
For such a Gan Ning, Gu Yi naturally couldn’t treat him badly.
Followed by.
Gu Yi also emphasized the merits of Huang Zhong, Tai Shici, and Xu Sheng.
Liu Bei’s three defenders Ling Cao, Chen Wu, and Dong Zheng who remained in Niuzhu had died at the hands of Huang Zhong, Xu Sheng, and Tai Shici.
The defenders of Niuzhu are also dead of death, wounded by wounded, and descended by falling.
With the capture of Niuzhu.
The six counties of Jiangdong have been completely torn apart.
Next.
How should Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang respond?
……
Chai-san
In the council chamber
After receiving the news that Chen Wu, Ling Cao, and Dong Zheng had died and Niu Zhu had been lost, Liu Bei quickly summoned his subordinates Wen Wu to come to the meeting.
It has to be said.
After receiving the support of the Koto family.
The number of talents under Liu Bei has grown explosively.
First of all, on the left are the four patriarchs from the four great families of Jiangdong.
These four people are not necessarily very talented, but their political status is not low.
Moreover, their sons or grandchildren are all important ministers of the Sun 100,000 era in the original history.
For example, Lu Xun’s grandfather Lu Kang;
Gu Yong’s father, Gu Hong;
Zhu Huan’s eldest uncle Zhu Yong;
Zhang Wen’s father, Zhang Xian;
These four people are the most powerful people in the six counties of Jiangdong!
The reason why Liu Bei was able to quickly become the lord of Jiangdong.
The biggest reason is the support of the four major families.
And in addition to these four.
Some “scattered people”, or family talents who had been exiled here from the north, were also sitting in Liu Bei’s council chamber.
For example, Zhuge Xuan, Zhuge Jin, and Zhuge Liang.
Another example is Zhang Zhao, Zhang Xi, and Cheng Bing.
But.
Very embarrassing.
Even if there are many people meeting in the chamber.
But no one was willing to take the initiative.
The loss of Niu Zhu meant that Gu Yi could send troops in the direction of Chaisang at any time.
Or divide the army to attack Wu County and even Poyang.
All in all.
The six counties of Jiangdong are crawling at any time under the feet of Gu Yi’s “evil wolf.”
His gaze swept over everyone.
Liu Bei’s face was simply difficult to see the extreme.
I thought that Sun Ce’s defection, even if he couldn’t kill Gu Yi directly, would make Gu Yi’s army rout.
But who would have thought that it would be Sun Ce who was counter-killed?
In the battle of Niuzhu, the army under Gu Yi did not lose too much.
On the contrary, it was also supported by Su Fei and Jiangxia Water Army.
The total number of troops is even more than before.
Besides.
Liu Bei had no confidence at all that he could win against Gu Yi on land.
Although Gu Yi did not bring cavalry this time.
Plus the elusive Jinfan thief…
No matter which angle you look at.
Waiting for Liu Bei, it seems that they are all cool songs!
Just as Liu Bei was about to speak to break the silence in the council chamber.
Suddenly.
A herald soldier came in from outside with a beaming face and reported:
“Lord Qiyu!”
“Wang Lang couldn’t hold on, abandoned the city and fled.”
“The entire Huiji County has been completely captured by the two generals Guan Zhang!”
“Now, the two generals are on their way back from the squad.”
“In five days at most, they will return to Chaisang with their troops!”
Hearing this war report, Liu Bei immediately stood up excitedly.
Don’t look at so many talents.
But in Liu Bei’s heart.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are the foundation of his existence.
is his most trusted brother!
More than ten years across the battlefield.
If it weren’t for the shelter of Yu Zhang Fei and the two.
Liu Bei has probably been gazed countless times.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei defeated Wang Lang and captured Huiji County.
It also meant that the six counties of Jiangdong were completely brought under Liu Bei’s rule.
Although the next is about to face Gu Yi’s conquest.
But with Guan Zhang, the two returned with troops.
How much do you have to have to win?
… Every….
