On this day, news of the great victory in the south spread back to Jianye.
The troubles over the mountains have been eliminated.
What is Shanyue?
There are many Baiyue people in Jiangdong, such as Yan Baihu, the prefect of Wu County. There is another county to the south of Wu County and Kuaiji, called Jian'an, where there are more people and it is basically the territory of the Baiyue people.
During the late Han Dynasty, taxes were heavy and heavy. Zhang Jiao called himself "the Great Master" and started the Yellow Turban Rebellion. The Baiyue people also took the opportunity to rebel. However, unlike the Yellow Turban Army who became bandits after losing Zhang Jiao, the Baiyue people did this from the beginning.
The Baiyue people do not have a common leader, and multiple tribal leaders each occupy the mountain as king. In addition to conquering each other, they also burned, killed and looted Wujun and Kuaiji in the north. Later, he even openly recruited bandits, bandits, and yellow turban bandits to expand his strength. Even Yan Baihu, a member of his clan, was furious and deeply ashamed, calling them "Baiyue people like bandits."
Later, this idea spread for some reason, and the people in Jiangdong even classified them as a foreign race, called "Shanyue".
Four months ago, Pan Lin, Peng Qi, Peng Shi, Zu Lang, Jin Qi, Mao Gan, Huang Luan and many other Shanyue leaders formed an alliance and formed an army of 100,000 Shanyue troops to march into Kuaiji County to plunder food and money.
On the Chu State's side, General Gan Ning followed Sun Ce's orders and led generals Cheng Pu, Zhu Zhi, and Huang Gai to attack with 50,000 elite troops.
After a month of fierce fighting, Yamagotsu's army retreated. However, the victorious Gan Ning was not satisfied with this. He divided his troops into two places and attacked Jian'an by land and water.
After another three months of bloody fighting, Jian'an, a county that had been out of Han control for many years, finally returned to the rule of Chu.
The people of Jianye are very excited, but even more proud. In comparison, Wujun and Kuaiji have completely turned into a sea of joy.
"I heard that the battleships modified by the Mohists and Gongshujia played a great role this time. In water battles, their combat power is much higher than that of stern ships and building ships."
Zhang Zhao put down the military newspaper in his hand with some emotion.
Everyone firmly believed in Shanyue's defeat, but no one expected that Gan Ning would resolutely lead the army to pursue Jian'an without asking Sun Ce for instructions. You must know that there is Shanyue's home base, which is completely different from fighting in Kuaiji. But under such circumstances, Gan Ning wiped out Shanyue and regained Jian'an County in just three months.
Ji Shu was also surprised. He and Zhou Yu's original plan was to raise 100,000 troops to recapture Jian'an County when the Chu State became more powerful, completely clearing the hidden dangers behind the Chu State, and then began to conquer the Shu State.
"When the country is weak, thieves and bandits run rampant everywhere; when the country is strong, thieves and bandits stop everything. Unexpectedly, Xingba allowed us to complete our plan two years ahead of schedule."
Ji Shu excitedly took the military report from Zhang Zhao and read it carefully.
Zhang Zhao also understood what this meant, he looked at Ji Shu with interest and said.
"Many talents also emerged in this battle, such as Ling Tong, Lu Meng, and Zhu Ran. They all shined. Xingba was very quick, and he immediately promoted Lu Meng and Zhu Ran to the rank of commander-in-chief and included them in his brocade. Fan Jun, I think he is ready for the next battle."
"I heard that Cao Cao and Liu Bei have been having constant friction recently, and Cao Cao is preparing to send troops to attack Xuzhou. While the two tigers are fighting each other, wouldn't it be nice for us to quickly swallow this fat piece of Shu?"
Hearing what Zhang Zhao said, Ji Shu suddenly felt that time was running out, and he frowned slightly.
Indeed, if Cao Cao and Liu Bei really fight, this will be a godsend. Having solved the hidden danger of Shanyue, the Chu State can devote most of its troops to the Yizhou battlefield. Once Yizhou is captured, the Chu State will immediately replace Wei and become the number one prince in the world.
Ji Shu felt that he needed to reorganize the surrounding intelligence with Zhou Yu and choose the most appropriate time to conquer Shu.
"Hey, Dong Zhuo's envoy is about to arrive. Should we prepare for this?"
"This is too troublesome. There are a lot of etiquette and other things to arrange. Let's leave it to the second brother and Zigang."
"Hmm~~"
Zhang Zhao raised his eyebrows, then pointed at Ji Shu with a wicked smile.
It turns out you think so too!
The two looked at each other and smiled without saying a word.
After having some fun, the two of them continued to deal with other reports. Zhang Zhao suddenly shouted in a weird voice.
"In the Drunken Dream Tower, a general from the Chu Kingdom was surprised to be jealous of the famous prostitute Xing'er, and they started fighting!"
Ji Shu was stunned for a while. Is it necessary to report to them for such a romantic and foolish affair?
Could it be that the news has spread among the people and has had a bad impact?
"No one knows the general's grave, and the actor's family affairs are known to the world. That's all, let's punish him and treat it as a way to rectify the atmosphere. Zi Bu, who is involved in this?"
Seeing Ji Shu moaning feebly, Zhang Zhao smiled and handed him the report.
"Haha, see for yourself."
Zhang Zhao's mysterious behavior only made Ji Shu's ominous premonition deepen. He took the report and read it carefully. The further he looked down, the darker his face became.
A name that impressed Ji Shu was mentioned here, Pan Zhang. Unexpectedly, he would dare to use his power to rob a civilian girl in broad daylight in full view of the public. The Chu army was known for its strict military discipline and kindness to the people. This Pan Zhang was just a slap in Sun Ce's face.
It is enough to punish Pan Zhang. Although this man is brave and brave, he is greedy for money and lust and is of no use. What annoyed Ji Shuzhu was that Zhou Tai, as a general of Chu State, was involved.
"This guy Youping! Even if he's visiting a brothel, he actually makes such a big fuss. Are you afraid that others won't know about it? I'll talk about him after the court meeting tomorrow, otherwise he will have Zigang impeached sooner or later."
······
"Military advisor, actually I am on a secret mission!"
When Ji Shu went to talk to Zhou Tai, he explained to Ji Shu this way.
Ji Shu stared at Zhou Tai with wide eyes, almost doubting his own ears.
"Are you sure you're on a 'secret' mission?"
Ji Shu bit the word "secret" very hard, and Zhou Tai fell into a brief silence. Seeing no one around him, he pulled Ji Shu into a corner and spoke in detail.
"Actually, that's what happened. The Second Military Advisor often sees me and doesn't visit brothels occasionally..."
"You still don't admit it! You just wanted to say 'you often visit brothels', right?"
Ji Shu grabbed Zhou Tai's little tail and pointed at Zhou Tai's nose and asked.
"No, I didn't! I'm not! Oh, strategist, please don't interrupt, I hate you so much!"
Of course Zhou Tai would not admit it, so he quickly changed his words and changed the subject.
"Speaking of which, the Second Military Advisor saw that I occasionally visit brothels, so he asked me to check out this 'Xing'er' girl."
Ji Shu looked suspicious.
"You're talking nonsense. Why did my second brother ask you to test it? He doesn't have the guts to visit a brothel now."
You say it as if you have the guts to do it. Zhou Tai coughed lightly and said solemnly.
"Of course the Second Military Advisor didn't ask me to investigate for his own sake, but he received news that this 'Xing'er' girl is probably a member of 'Onizuka', lurking in Chu State to win over officials and collect intelligence. "
Onizuka!
How long have you not heard this name?
Ji Shu's expression suddenly became serious. Zhou Tai might just do it as an ordinary task, but Ji Shu knew that Zhou Yu must have put all his energy into this matter.
"Then what results have you found so far?"
Zhou Tai groaned and hesitated for a while.
Just when Ji Shu thought it was Zhou Yu who told him to keep it secret and was about to stop asking, he spoke.
"It's probably true. Miss Xing'er is extremely talented and beautiful. She is obviously the number one in Zuimenglou, but she is extremely low-key. When things happen, she deliberately minimizes the impact. In addition to my interactions with the children of various aristocratic families, I also I found that she also looked at the declining Cai family in a different light."
The Cai family? Are you going to join forces with Cai Mao?
Although Ji Shu was shocked, the Chu State today was no longer the Jiangdong it was back then. He didn't believe how much trouble these aristocratic families could make.
"In that case, you should report it to your second brother. I won't care about this matter."
Ji Shu was talking about the report, but Zhou Tai's eyes suddenly wandered and he didn't dare to look at him.
Thinking of Zhou Tai fighting for Miss Xing'er, he couldn't help but doubt.
"You haven't reported to your second brother yet, have you?"
"Well, there's no need to worry about this. Once I find out clearly, I'll report it to the Second Army Division when I'm sure."
Damn it, this guy is really attracted to that woman.
"You want to die! Fortunately, you told me the truth. Do you think Gongjin's layout will only arrange for you? If he learns about things through other channels, your loyalty will be doubted by him."
"Although Gong Jin is usually gentle and generous, if he has anything to do with something detrimental to Bo Fu, he will be more ruthless than anyone else!"
Zhou Tai swallowed, but did not flinch.
"Is it so scary? Why don't I report it later? I have to wait until I find out the matter. Maybe I can convince Xing'er to join us and provide us with information about 'Onizuka'!"
The second half of the sentence is probably the reason why you delayed reporting to Zhou Yu.
How can it be?
Ji Shu now seriously suspects that Zhou Tai has a fever and is going crazy. He was about to continue persuading, but was interrupted by Zhou Tai.
"Forget it, military advisor, don't worry about this. I will take care of it."
After saying that, Zhou Tai ignored Ji Shu, turned around and left quickly.
"Hey, Youping! Youping!"
Ji Shu stood there so angry that he wanted to smash something.
