lays the foundation for Yuan Shu plot
Zhou Yu 's family background can be comparable to that of the three officials of the fourth generation and the third generation? (Who proposed the Jiangdong version of Longzhong?)
The territory controlled by Yuan Shu mainly includes Jingzhou in the north and Yuzhou in the south.
Yuan Shu's original strategic intention was to conquer the entire Yuzhou territory (Yuanzhou Runan County is the old nest of the Yuan family). As a result, his ally Sun Jian's 's combat power was too strong. Not only did he drive Dong Zhuo from Luoyang , but he also defeated Zhou Yuzhou governor sent by Yuan Shao ( Shu's brother Shao was defeated because he did not rebel, and he sent him to Zhou Xin to capture Jian Yuzhou. Shu was angry, and he beat Xin away)
With Sun Jian's current strength, he will quickly control the entire Yuzhou territory, which made Yuan Shu unacceptable.
must get this Jiangdong tiger away.
And there is an enemy that is most suitable for Sun Jian to the south: Liu Biao .
Sun Jian's original territory was in Jingzhou, but was taken down by Liu Bing alone. You can move this article: Why can't the person with the strongest force in the late Eastern Han Dynasty ? (The most important thing in winning the world is strategy!)
Yuan Shu's proposal was exactly what Sun Jian wanted. He quickly reorganized his troops south, defeated Huang Zu , and then led his troops to cross Hanshui , surrounding Xiangyang .
Liu Biao stayed behind closed doors and sent Huang Zu to mobilize soldiers at night. Huang Zu returned with his troops, and Sun Jian fought again. Huang Zu was defeated again and fled to Xianshan .
With Sun Jian’s first-class combat power at the end of the Han Dynasty, it seemed only a matter of time before he conquered Xiangyang, but at this moment, the situation reversed.
Sun Jian ran away fiercely when he chased Huang Zu. When he was negligent and crossed Xian Mountain alone, he was shot and killed by Huang Zujun. (When the wood is straight, the steel is strong, the steel is broken. Sun Jian is generally worthy of being "brave and firm" in his life, but he believes too much in his own force and eventually ruined the good situation.)
After losing his maximum combat power, facing the aggressive Liu Biao, Yuan Shu did not dare to compete with him, and voluntarily withdrew from Nanyang and focused on Yuzhou ( skills are not able to win)
Yuan Shu is surrounded by strong enemies. The northwest is the most terrifying combat power of Liangzhou Army in the late Eastern Han Dynasty Li Jue , Guo Si , and to the east is the seemingly powerful Tao Qian .
After Yuan Shu weighed the trade-offs, he chose to expand his power northward. under the name of Jin Shang , the imperial court appointed Yanzhou , and Cao Cao , and snatch Yanzhou.
Yanzhou boss Liu Dai died, Li Jue of Chang'an sent Jin Shang as the governor of Yanzhou to take office. But on the way, I heard that the entire Yanzhou area is now full of Yellow Turban thieves. Because Yuan Shu and Li Jue have a good relationship, Jin Shang ran to Yuan Shu ( Li Jue entered Chang'an and wanted to form Shu as a helper, so he was awarded the Left General, Fake Festival )
Yuan Shu always thought that Cao Cao was still the small warlord with only a few thousand soldiers. He didn't even think about how powerful Cao Cao's combat power would be after having Qingzhou Army !
Both sides fought at Kuangting. Even with the attacks of the Black Mountain bandits and the Huns, Yuan Shu was still defeated (Shu led the army into Chenliu and stationed in Fengqiu. The remaining bandits of Heishan and Xiongnu in Fuluo and others assisted the Sword, and fought with Cao Cao at Kuangting, and was defeated. Shu retreated to Yongqiu)
Cao Cao then drove Yuan Shu from Yanzhou to Yangzhou Jiujiang County .
This time, Yuan Shu suffered heavy losses. Not only did Yanzhou not take it, but Yuzhou's foundation was also lost.
, who was eager to recover the losses, Yuan Shu set his sights on Yangzhou, led the governor of Yangzhou, and began to manage Yangzhou ( and rushed the rest to Jiujiang, killing Yangzhou , the governor Chen Wen and leading it himself, also known as Xuzhou Bo)
Yangzhou is bounded by Yangtze River as the boundary, and is divided into two parts:
part is Lujiang and Jiujiang counties between Jianghuai .
part is Danyang, Wujun , Yuzhang , and Kuaiji.
Danyang, Wujun, and Kuaiji CountyThe northern part of Kuaiji County is the concept of "Jiangdong", which is the famous "Three counties of Jiangdong".
Among them, Danyang County and Kuaiji County are mostly mountainous, which brings great difficulties to the subsequent battles of SunceHong Kong.
Yuan Shu now only has one Jiujiang County, which is still far from the real Yangzhou governor. If you want to be justified, you must take over Jiangdong and develop.
Yuan Shu chose to attack Danyang County first.
Why?
Because the prefect of Danyang is Zhou Xin from the Zhou family in Kuaiji.
Kuaiji Zhou family should not be underestimated. They have strong influence in Jiangdong, and the three brothers have successively served as governor and prefect.
Zhou Xin once appointed Taifu Chen Fan as his army, and was later recruited by the Taiwei Gongfu and moved to the position of Taishou Danyang. After Cao Cao was defeated in the Battle of Bianshui, he helped the latter recruit tens of thousands of Danyang soldiers in Danyang.
Zhou Yi is a subordinate of Yuan Shao and was appointed as the governor of Yuzhou by Yuan Shao.
Zhou Ang is also Yuan Shao's general and serves as the prefect of Jiujiang.
The Zhou family's actions show an attitude: among the heroes in troubled times, they are most optimistic about Yuan Shao from Hebei!
Then Yuan Shu, who was enemies of Yuan Shao, naturally became the enemy of the Zhou family.
Because Sun Jian was from Wujun, Jiangdong, and most of his subordinates had Jiangdong clans, Yuan Shu decided to send Wujun people to Wu Jing to cross the river to attack Zhou Xin.
Sun Jian's old subordinates were still quite powerful. He defeated Zhou Xin and took over the Danyang County and the county governor Wanling ( Yuan Shu led the prefect of Danyang to attack the former prefect Zhou Xin, so he occupied his county)
If you want to truly rule Danyang, Wu Jing also has to face a more difficult opponent: the Grand Marshal Zulang of Jing County, Shanyue.
Shanyue has appeared many times in the history of Sunwu . Its group is mainly mountain people distributed south of the Yangtze River in Yangzhou. Their people are rebellious and brave and good at fighting.
One of the five famous powerful soldiers in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the "Danyang Soldier", was recruited from Shanyue in Danyang. This place is famous for its elite soldiers!
Danyang soldiers are famous for their good fighting.
Western Han Dynasty Generals Li Ling once led 5,000 Danyang warriors into the Huns more than 2,000 miles, and surrounded them for Shanyu . The Huns' army could not win and was ready to withdraw. If there were no spies within the Han army, Li Ling would create a military miracle of defeating the cavalry with less and defeating the infantry alone.
When we arrived in the Three Kingdoms, Tao Qian, one of the heroes, also relied on the Danyang soldiers to establish a foothold in Xuzhou. Zhou Xin also helped Cao Cao recruit Danyang soldiers to help him make a comeback.
Many famous generals of Sun Wu, such as Huang Gai , Han Dang , etc., have served as the prefect of Danyang. The later powerful ministers Zhuge Ke also rely on their role as the prefect of Danyang, and only by holding heavy troops can we intimidate other political enemies.
Zulang's troops are mainly engaged in Jingxian in Danyang.
With the elite troops left by Sun Jian, Wu Jing found that he could not beat Zulang. Yuan Shu had to transfer the governor of Yuzhou, Sun Ben to Danyang Duwei and sent him to help Wu Jing attack Shanyue.
Sun Ce came to Danyang under this background.
To Yuan Shu's surprise, Sun family was very united. With the help of his uncle, Sun Ce soon recruited hundreds of Danyang soldiers and participated in the battle to fight Zulang. Sun Ce, who had just debuted, led his troops for the first time and almost suffered a great defeat (Ce then went to Danyang Yijiu, obtained hundreds of people, and was attacked by the commander of Jingxian Zulang, and was almost in danger)
Cao Cao Bianshui was defeated. Sun Ce lost to Zulang. Famous generals must go through the tempering of blood and fire to grow!
For Sun Ce, his current task is not to stay in Danyang and Shanyue to fight for his life. What he has always been thinking about is the old subordinates left by his father.
Sun Ce then returned to Shouchun and went to find Yuan Shu to ask for the team left by his father every now and Yuan Shu was annoyed, so he returned the more than 1,000 people in Sun Jian's team that had not been separated to Sun Ce (so he went back to see Shu again, and Shu used more than a thousand soldiers to return to Ce).
Many times, thick-skinned is really one of the necessary conditions for success!
Here we can also see that Yuan Shu is too thief. You see, he sent Wu Jing across the river, but the old subordinates of Sun Jian who were the best at fighting have never handed over. Among them are Cheng Pu , Huang Gai, Han Dang and other Dongwu generals who have always followed Sun Jian.
