Chapter 331: Pulling Shanyue

Sun Ce felt a wave of pain coming like a wave, and his body was covered in cold sweat. He gritted his teeth and waved to Cheng Pu. Lu Fan called him to the couch and said in a deep voice: "Demou, Ziheng, I... I have entrusted Yuzhou to Zhongmou. Zhongmou is young, you two are in charge of martial arts, and you hope to do your best to assist Zhongmou."

Cheng Pu and Lu Fan couldn't help but kneel down in front of the couch and cried, "Don't worry, lord, we should be brave and devote ourselves to our efforts!"

Sun Ce thought about it and said again: "Yuzhou is poor and surrounded by strong enemies. If you cannot gain a foothold, in order to protect the future of our Sun family and the soldiers, you can go south to surrender to Gongjin. We are as close as brothers, which is not a shame..."

Sun Ce said, his voice getting lower and weaker.

Everyone in the room knelt down, burst into tears, and nodded constantly.

That day and night, Sun Ce passed away. Before he died, he suddenly sat up from the bed and shouted loudly: "God doesn't bless me! God doesn't bless me!", and then vomited blood and died.

After learning about Sun Ce's death, Zhou Yu felt very sad and wrote: "Who can dominate the Bofu? Every time he opens the history books, he wants to see the scale. One thousand sweeps the rivers, and the seventeen successes have never been successful since ancient times. The lady from Jiangdong dreamed of a man who broke through Jingzhou and was in the middle of the spring. She died before she could succeed, which made the hero cry."

After writing, Zhou Yu burst into tears. He repeatedly told Sun Ce to be careful and pay attention to safety, but he eventually died at the hands of an assassin. The Sun family lost both Sun Jian and Sun Ce, and the fourteen-year-old Sun Quan, who was only fourteen years old, had insufficient prestige and qualifications, and it was inevitable that the separation would be broken.

At this time, Zhou Yu had returned to Moling. The troops of Chen Yu in Haixi had been completely destroyed by Zhao Yun, and four thousand enemies were captured. Zhao Yun's general Xu Yixiao and his general Chen Mu, and Chen Yu escaped alone. Even the wife and daughter of the family had no time to take them away. They went to the north overnight to surrender to Yuan Shao, and were later appointed as the Gu'an Commander by Yuan Shao.

Haixi is located on the north bank of the Yangtze River, not far from Guangling. Chen Gui, Chen Deng and his son who were stationed in Guangling had no contact with Zhou Yu. According to the information sent back by Jingwuwei, under the force of Yuan Shu, the Chen father and son recently had close contact with Liu Bei, who was expanding his army in the East China Sea, and there was a possibility of turning to Liu Bei.

Zhou Yu ordered Zhao Yun to quickly bring the prisoners and the food and supplies in Haixi City back to the south of the Yangtze River, and use Jiang Qin's Jinfan Army sailors to support the riverside. Among the people of Haixi, if anyone thinks of settled in Jiangnan, they also need to send troops to escort across the river.

Another good news is that Gao Shun led the camp to defeat Zulang in Shexian and Yixian. Jiao Ji's Shanyue soldiers killed 3,000 enemies and captured 5,000 enemies. More than 3,000 enemies were scattered and fled into the deep mountains. Zhou Yu's most concerned Shanyue Zong, Zulang, was captured by Gao Shun alive. After being persuaded, Zulang had already been thrown into Gao Shun's tent. Jiao Ji refused to transform and surrendered and rebelled again. He was beheaded by Gao Shun on a 10-li slope outside the city of Yi County.

Zhou Tai's Feilong Army also reported that the Feilong Army was good at mountain combat, and the individual quality was not lower than that of Shanyue Qingshang. This time they scattered into small groups to sneak into the mountains near Jingxian, looking for Shanyue people, and had already captured more than 100 mountain villages. According to the plan, the soldiers of the Feilong Army captured all the young and strong people in the mountain village and took them back to the city of Jingxian to guard. The rest of the Shanyue people in the mountain village were moved to the foot of the mountain and resettled according to the civil settlement system. So far, more than 20,000 Shanyue people have been moved down the mountain.

At this point, the Shanyue troubles that had always worried Zhou Yu were temporarily calmed down. Since the main force of Shanyue bandits in various places was eliminated, Shanyue people could no longer cause any storms within at least three years.

Zhou Yu quickly ordered Gao Shun to lead the soldiers of the trapped camp to return to Chaisang to rest immediately, and at the same time, they digested all the Shanyue prisoners and organized them into the trapped camp. Zhou Tai ordered Zhou Tai to continue to lead the Feilong army to fight near Shexian, Yixian and Lingyang. According to the combat methods of Jingxian, the Shanyue people hidden in the mountains should be moved to the plains as much as possible. This not only solved the hidden dangers of Shanyue people's rebellion, but also added a lot of fresh blood to each county, which was conducive to the expansion of the township and the economic development.

The door sounded lightly, and Zhang Zhao walked in slowly and said, "Lord, what's the matter with calling me?"

Zhou Yu had defeated all the time in Piao Tianwen, and only a few remaining enemies retreated into the mountains. General Youping was also constantly moving Shanyue people who lived in the deep mountains to the plains. In this way, the troubles of Shanyue have been eliminated." Zhou Yu said gently.

Zhang Zhao frowned slightly and bowed, "Lord, I think the troubles of Shanyue have not been eradicated."

"Oh, I'd like to hear it carefully." Zhou Yu replied.

"The Shanyue people are collectively named with the ancient Yue people and other indigenous descendants as the core. Over the years, wars have occurred frequently, and many Han people have also lived in the deep mountains, and we also call them Shanyue people. Nowadays, there are millions of Shanyue people in the six counties of Jiangdong. Although our army won a great victory and killed the generals of the clan, it was difficult to go far. The remaining enemies can be blocked by the deep ground, and their strength has not been greatly damaged. They can gather again at any time and attack our people." Zhang Zhao looked solemn.

"In your opinion, what should we do?" Zhou Yu also felt that he was a little optimistic and asked with a voice.

Zhang Zhao replied: "My lord, for the sake of this plan, we should focus on comforting. The main army of the Shanyue people has been severely damaged, and it is a great time to recruit comfort. The lord can issue official documents to order all counties and counties to sort out the vacant wasteland and post them everywhere. As long as the Shanyue people are willing to go down the mountain to live, they can rent fertile land and exempt three years of taxes. The farm tools and seeds needed for farming will be supplied by the government."

"Well... this idea is very good. The attack by force is just a temporary solution, with the goal of punishing the evildoers. In the past, the Qin general Wang Jian led his troops to the south of the Yangtze River and surrendered to Baiyue. Because the people of Yue were tough and difficult to control, the First Emperor adopted a migration policy and forced the people to move into the areas developed by the Han people. However, the people of Yue were forced to move, and the labor service was heavy, so they combined it with the steep mountains and rivers, and then went to the deep mountains for the people to form the mountain. Now, if they want to truly pacify Shanyue, they have to let them take the initiative to go down the mountain, be managed by us, and learn our culture. After a long time, there will naturally be no hidden dangers." Zhou Yu nodded.

"However, in the process of recruiting Shanyue, there is one thing that is particularly important." Zhou Yu's eyes were filled with wisdom and continued, "Shanyue people, like me, Han people, will be the same common people as they follow the government, and there is no distinction between high and low. The government should not treat them as untouchables or beasts, but treat them equally. As long as we can do this, Shanyue can submit to them with conscience."

Zhang Zhao twisted his gray beard with his hands and laughed: "The lord is very concerned. If the policies to treat Shanyue people and Han people are different, over time, even the Shanyue people who settle down the mountain will rebel."

I know what happens next, and listen to the next chapter to explain it.
