    Two flowers bloomed, one for each. When Sun Ce died, Sun Quan came to power, the sun and the moon changed, and the six counties in Jiangdong changed hands, a hundred thousand troops led by Xiao Yi went north to Xuzhou and stationed themselves under the important town.  In Pi City, on the one hand, we are recharging our strength and reorganizing our troops; on the other hand, we are collecting grain and grass to replenish military supplies!

    As the saying goes: "Kill one thousand enemies, but lose eight hundred." In the Battle of Huainan, the Jiangdong army was defeated miserably. More than half of the troops were lost, and they retreated to their hometown in despair. Similarly, as the victor, Cao Jun also paid a heavy price.  , tens of thousands of soldiers were killed or injured, and a large amount of ordnance, food, grass, and war horses were consumed It is not an exaggeration to say that there were "five tuberculosis and seven injuries"!

    No matter how elite the army is, after a big battle, it needs to be well repaired before it can be put into new battlefields. Therefore, Xiao Yi temporarily stationed his troops in Xiapi, supervising the generals of various ministries every day to treat the wounded and replenish equipment.  Some regained their combat effectiveness and went north to rescue the Guandu battlefield!

    As for the issue of food and grass, it is the top priority of Cao Ying Group. The war has been going on for more than half a year. Cao Ying has invested hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and the number of young and strong civilians exceeds one million. As for the food and grass consumed, it is countless.  The treasury stores of Sizhou, Yuzhou and Yanzhou have been exhausted. In order to raise food and grass for the army, Xun Yu and Xun You, a group of internal affairs officials, worked hard day and night, almost turning their hair gray!

    The land of Xuzhou has a large population, prosperous commerce, and the benefits of fishing and salt. It is known as the "rich southeast". Xiao Yi stationed his troops in Xiapi City just to get a batch of grain and grass to support the Guandu battlefield. Otherwise, 100,000  As the army moves forward, logistical supplies become even more difficult. In less than a month, Cao's army will be completely defeated!

    The problem is that this food and grass is difficult to raise. Since the war started, Xuzhou has provided money and food and civilian labor to support the two major battlefields in the south and north. The consumption of materials has been extremely alarming. In the words of the governor Chen Qun: "The treasury is empty, money and food  None, if we continue to forcefully recruit people, the people of Li will eat each other!"

    Xiao Yi believed half of Chen Qun's words. The governor worked day and night and had fulfilled his duties. Xuzhou's treasury was indeed empty and the people's power was exhausted, but there was still a lot of food and grass.  , just not in the official treasury, but hidden in the private treasury!

    Xuzhou has a profound cultural heritage and a large gathering of noble families. These powerful families occupy a large amount of land and population, and are involved in commercial operations, amassing countless amounts of money. In their private warehouses, there are mountains of gold and silver, and countless amounts of grain and grass. If they can allocate some of them,  It will be enough to support the Guandu battlefield and maintain the consumption of hundreds of thousands of troops!

    Of course, it is not easy to pluck hair from a wealthy family. As the governor of Xuzhou, Chen Qun also thought about this. As a result, he ran into obstacles everywhere. He was spitted countless times, but no wealthy family was willing to donate food. This  It¡¯s not that he lacks ability, it¡¯s because he has no choice but to do so!

    Mencius once said: "Government is not difficult, and you don't want to offend a wealthy family." As the governor of Xuzhou, Chen Qun wanted the place to be safe and the government orders to go smoothly. Naturally, he did not want to offend a wealthy family, so he could only persuade him with good words.  They didn't dare to use force to intimidate them, but in the end they had little effect. Besides, the Chen family, a famous family, how could they betray their own camp?

    "This is the military order of Grand Sima: All wealthy families and powerful people in Xuzhou will come to Xiapi City within five days to participate in the celebration banquet of the Southern Expedition. Anyone who dares to refuse will be dealt with according to military law!"

    It is said that the nobles are as fierce as tigers and cannot be touched easily. Xiao Yi doesn't believe this evil. He even touches the tiger's butt and plucking some hairs out to see if it's their neck that's hard or his own knife that's faster?

    Of course, Xiao Yi's dare to challenge the wealthy family is not just reckless. He naturally has some basis. First of all: he has served as Xuzhou Mu and has been in power for more than a year. He has a large number of contacts and profound influence on the wealthy family.  Jushi is very understanding and can achieve "know yourself and the enemy, and be victorious in every battle!"  ¡¯

    Secondly, he is now the great Sima of the dynasty, and is out of the ranks of local officials. He is no longer in his position and does not pursue political affairs, so he does not have to worry too much. Now that he has a hundred thousand soldiers in hand, and with both soft and hard tactics, who among the noble clans dares not to  Be obedient, they know exactly what the methods of 'Ghost Face Xiao Lang' are!

    Finally, Xiao Yi is not afraid of the revenge of the nobles. He has a high position and a large number of soldiers. In today's world, the only one who can restrain him is his father-in-law. However, Cao Cao has always promoted the children of poor families and suppressed the nobles. In order to  How could he punish his son-in-law for raising military rations?

    Based on the above three points, Xiao Yi set up the "Hongmen Banquet" and invited the noble clans to come. As long as they come to Xiapi City, they will fall into a trap. If anyone dares not to come, it will be easier.  Anyone who disobeys military orders will be executed, no chickens or dogs will be left alive, and all property will be confiscated!

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ??Jian's old tribe, Tuogu Laochen, or in other words, they are loyal to the Sun family. It doesn't matter who is the head of the family, as long as the person's surname is Sun!

    The other faction is Zhou Yu, Gan Ning, Jiang Qin, Xu Sheng, Zhou Tai They were recruited by Sun Ce and treated like brothers and sisters. Therefore, they were only loyal to Sun Ce and not to the Sun family. Now Sun Ce  After their death, their loyalty naturally transferred to Sun Shao!

    In the past, when Sun Ce was alive, the generals of the two factions united together, fought bravely, and created a huge foundation. But now, with the brother-in-law and Sun Quan taking the throne, the situation is completely different. Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han Dang  The veterans will naturally support the second son, Sun Quan, and continue to be loyal to the Sun family. But Zhou Yu, Gan Ning, Jiang Qin and others may have other ideas, right?

    Xiao Yi reported to the court and conferred official titles in order to promote Sun Shao and let everyone in the world know that he was the legitimate son of the Sun family and the young master of the Jiangdong Group. A few years later, the news of Sun Ce's death was announced. After Sun Quan came to power, he would  We are faced with a difficult question, who will be his successor - his son?  nephew?

    If Sun Quan is selfless and appoints his nephew as his successor, then everything will be fine. However, if Sun Quan is selfish and makes his son his successor, it will inevitably cause an uproar and the generals in Jiangdong will be divided into two and start a fierce war.  Infighting, as a result, the demise of the Sun family is just around the corner!

    It's not Xiao Yi's insidious methods, nor the use of orphans and widowers. The princes' struggle for hegemony is a competition in military, political, diplomaticall aspects. If there is no problem within the Jiangdong Group, how can others sow discord? In a word, Sun  It is better for the family to cry than for the people of Jiangdong to cry. At worst, after the world is pacified, let's give the orphans and widows wealth and peace!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
