Time flies, two years have passed.
Although Yangzhou¡¯s military strength has not increased much, its economy has undergone earth-shaking changes.
One of them is that commercial tax is five times higher than agricultural tax, making it the most important revenue for the government.
Coupled with the development of banks, the government can be said to be extremely wealthy.
Lu Su used to have insufficient money, but now he has too much money and doesn¡¯t know how to use it.
So, Liu Ke decided that everyone should use it together. He let go of his hands and lent a large amount of money to students to do business, and many people made a fortune.
Because it¡¯s so easy to make money now. As long as the goods from Yangzhou are shipped out, people will rush to buy them. The profit of 20 to 30% is still small.
Of course, there are also cases of bankruptcy, but they are only a minority.
After the new businessmen earned their first pot of gold, Liu Ke restricted their outbound policies and then guided them into the production industry.
Thousands of workshops, large and small, appeared in Dongyang City overnight.
Furthermore, Yangzhou people opened noodle restaurants, steamed bun shops, pharmacies, etc. all over the country. Originally, Yangzhou businessmen planned to eat alone, but Liu Ke's "war theory" calmed them down and began to seek cooperation with local powerful people.
"Otherwise, once the war breaks out, no matter who you are, they will all be robbed.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT out of the gate, an upstart local boss insisted on opening hundreds of stores in Jingzhou. As a result, Sun Ce and Liu Biao got into a fight and suffered heavy losses.
He came to the government to complain, and Lu Su threw him into a trap.
Yangzhou businessmen finally woke up and reduced their holdings one after another. It's good to make some money, but don't be greedy.
As for the battle between Sun Ce and Liu Biao, we have to start from half a year ago.
Sun Ce sharpened his sword and raised an army of 200,000, but he finally couldn't help but attack Liu Biao.
He raised an army of 150,000, claiming to be 300,000, and went directly to Xiangyang.
Liu Biao was not a vegetarian and led an army of 200,000 to fight.
At the beginning, Zhou Yu planned to fight steadily and step by step, with the main force confronting Liu Biao, and then divide his forces to capture the empty Jiangxia County.
But Sun Ce believed that as long as Liu Biao's main force was defeated, the entire Jingzhou would be at his disposal, so why bother dividing his troops.
"And after dividing the troops, we still have to worry about Liu Biao suddenly going crazy and attacking, so that the main force cannot resist at all.
"The war will not be won overnight. If we capture Jiangxia, we can dampen the morale of Liu Biao's army and further undermine their fighting spirit." Zhou Yu said.
His words are not unreasonable. Such a large army battle is originally a step-by-step process.
"It's not necessary. As long as you set up your battle position and move forward bravely, you can win." Sun Ce said, but he didn't take Liu Biao seriously at all.
"Gong Jin, elder brother is right. If the battle is delayed for too long, let alone whether Dongyang Hou will intervene, Yuan Shu and Liu Yan may take action." Sun Quan analyzed.
Since escaping from death, Sun Quan has gradually matured and won Sun Ce's love.
No, Sun Quan immediately jumped out to speak for his eldest brother.
Zhou Yu surprisingly found that he had been persuaded by Sun Quan. He only considered it from the perspective of the war situation, not from the overall situation in the world, and couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.
Looking around, Sun Ce had a low official position and had no allies.
??And Liu Biao is a Jingzhou pastor, representing orthodoxy, and there are many friendly forces around him.
Therefore, this battle must be fought quickly.
The three generals Huang Gai, Cheng Pu, and Han Dang also agreed with Sun Ce's decision.
Sun Ce has always been a headstrong person. After taking Jingnan, he was called the "little overlord" by Liu Ke. This title is very appropriate for his character, and he himself admires Xiang Yu.
It¡¯s great if Zhou Yu agrees, but Sun Ce will do that even if he doesn¡¯t agree.
Sun Ce¡¯s 300,000 troops were pressing down on the country, and Liu Biao had already been prepared.
"My lord, Sun Ce is said to have an army of 300,000, so we might as well call him 500,000!" Cai Mao suggested.
Then Liu Biao adopted this suggestion.
Therefore, all the princes snickered that there were actually 800,000 troops fighting in the small Jingzhou.
However, war is not funny at all.
Sun Ce first defeated Cai Mao's vanguard and killed 30,000 men.
Cai Hao was so frightened that he ran away in a hurry.
Sun Ce¡¯s army clearly had countless powerful generals, but he didn¡¯t use any of them.As a pioneer, Cai Mao was directly afraid of being killed by him.
Liu Biao had no time to punish Cai Mao, so Sun Ce led the army to Xiangyang.
However, Liu Biao was still hesitant whether to attack or to hold on.
Cai Mao was defeated so quickly that his army was trapped in Xiangyang before it had time to dispatch.
Kuai Liang suggested that Liu Biao call for reinforcements, and Liu Biao agreed. Now he has no decision-making ability at all.
¡°As long as it is a suggestion put forward by his subordinates, he will nod.
Kuai Liang didn¡¯t want to go to Yangzhou himself, so he sent a minion there.
That little guy had a very bad temper and his tone was very arrogant. He directly shouted at Liu Ke:
"Your position of Zongzheng was given to you by the lord. Now that the lord is in trouble, do you have no conscience at all?"
Liu Ke threw him out without even remembering his name.
The envoy returned to Jingzhou and made things even more jealous. Liu Biao could only sigh.
Sun Ce was so courageous that he directly led his army to attack the city. There were obviously more soldiers in the city than the attackers.
"Liu Jingzhou, do you have this much courage?" Sun Ce shouted.
They promised to work hard, but now Liu Biao is hiding in Xiangyang, leaving Sun Ce helpless.
In Xiangyang City, in addition to Cai Mao, Liu Biao's generals also included Wenpin and Huo Jun.
Huo Jun is now responsible for guarding the city. He said: "You can get my head, but you can't get this city."
Sun Ce not only admired him, but also wanted to get rid of him quickly.
"Brother, why not send someone to pretend to be Yangzhou reinforcements and sneak into the city." Sun Quan said.
Is this possible?
Although Sun Ce didn¡¯t quite believe it, he decided to give it a try.
Zhou Yu stopped him and added: "No, if we pretend to be the Yangzhou army, we will reveal our secrets, but Yuan Shu's army is different!"
Sun Ce¡¯s eyes lit up, he realized that there were people in his headquarters who were very good at Yuan Shu, and it was effortless to pretend.
On the same day, Liu Biao received a document from Yuan Shu, to the effect that the Jingzhou area north of the Yangtze River belonged to him, and he immediately sent troops.
Liu Biao was feeling disheartened after being rejected by Liu Ke. Yuan Shu suddenly became so enthusiastic that he was finally moved.
So, two days later, "Yuan Shujun" successfully sneaked into the city and took control of the city gate.
Sun Cejun, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately rushed in.
There was a bloody storm throughout Xiangyang City. More than 300,000 troops fought together for three days and three nights.
It¡¯s hard to imagine that street fighting could last so long.
In the end, Sun Ce's military skills were superior and he captured Xiangyang, while Liu Biao's main force was completely lost.
Liu Biao died from random arrows while escaping.
Every county in Jingzhou hung up the white flag and surrendered, and Sun Ce became the uncrowned king of Jingzhou.
In order to win over the people in Jingzhou, Sun Ce ordered Liu Biao to be buried lavishly.
At this point, there is one less Han clan member among the princes. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
