Chapter 1028 The fig leaf of the tyrant

Zhou Yu wanted to implement the scorched earth policy, collect all the stored grains and destroy all the crops in the field. + From carriages and wooden plows to pots, pans and spoons, all the damage that cannot be taken away.

If it is implemented, millions of people in Jiangnan will inevitably suffer a catastrophe.

However, this was definitely an excellent idea for Sun Quan. However, Sun Quan was still very worried and said, "Qin Zijin's kindness is fake, and he will definitely not care about the lives and deaths of the people. If he catches up, what should we do? Even if he can't catch up for a while, it takes time to transport the population to Yizhou, and he will always catch up."

Zhou Yu, the commander-in-chief who made this poisonous plan, disappeared with a hideous face, regaining his former elegance, and said with a smile: "Emperor, the coastline is long, so let's choose a hidden place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It takes time for Qin Feng to find us, and it is not that easy to capture. In addition, the emperor can take one step first, stay and leave as much as you can."

When Sun Quan heard this, he nodded and said, "So which route should we take? Where can we find places that are easy to defend and difficult to attack?"

At this time, the Grand Governor Zhou Yu’s understanding of Jiangdong was reflected. He had already made a comprehensive plan and said, “We will walk from Shangrao County, pass through Jungong Mountain and Huaiyu Mountain.”

These mountains are among the Nanling Mountains in later generations. Zhou Yu planned to pass through Nanling and head south.

Zhou Yu continued: "Then arrive in Wuxing and enter Jinji Mountain on the Beilun Peninsula from Wuxing. This Jinji Mountain is closest to Yizhou on land. The terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. We will station on the wide coastline and walk in batches. We can also build fortresses in Jinji Mountain to resist the Qin army."

This Jinji Mountain in Beilun was also a famous coastal defense base in later generations. The mainland extended here, and it is indeed the closest place to Yizhou except for the island.

At this time, Lu Xun was happy when he saw Sun Quan. He hurriedly went out to work and said, "Your Majesty, the materials obtained from scorched earth can be used to buy Shanyue people in the mountains and let them resist Qin Feng's pursuit for us!"

Zhou Yu looked at the young Lu Xun, and he knew that Lu Xun was talented. In the years to come, he would be the only one who can accompany Sun Quan to the end. Zhou Yu praised it and said, "What the Deputy Governor said is very much. The Nanling Mountains will block Qin Feng. If he does not travel through time, it will inevitably take a lot of time to go around. If he travels through time, the Shanyue people in the mountains will make him suffer. No matter how things develop, it will be beneficial to us."

Sun Quan was overjoyed and thought that this was his chance to make a comeback. He would take the people to Yizhou and counterattack the mainland in the future or re-establish the country in Yizhou. It would be better than staying here and waiting to die.

Zhou Yu also reminded: "To prevent spies from the Qin army, only inform local aristocratic officials to take the people to the coastline, along the coastline, south or north, and then inform them when they are close."

So, Sun Quan sent countless loyal guards as envoys to any area that had not been occupied yet. He told the local officials and gentry this news. He asked them to collect supplies and carry the people. He either traveled on land or drove ships to concentrate along the coastline to the central part. He also asked them to strictly block the news of where they went. He strictly controlled the people who were held, and ran to kill all one to avoid being noticed by the Qin army.

The news first spread in Yuzhang County, and to a limited extent, the aristocratic families knew that the people were still kept in the dark. After the big families in the city got the news, they first analyzed it themselves. They owned huge land. It can be said that the Eastern Wu had no land except the official land, and the people had no land.

The wealthy families were basically a little better than slaves for the tenants on their land. All the wealthy families had the blood of the people in their hands. Emperor Hongwu's policy guessed that their land was gone and that it was too difficult for them to be. So the wealthy families responded one after another.

They sent representatives to see Sun Quan. As long as Sun Quan agreed to allocate land to them in Yizhou, they would pay money and help Sun Quan transfer. Analyzing such a thing would be beneficial to Sun Quan. Moreover, Yizhou is vast and has a vast area and is not below the six counties in Jiangdong.

So, after discussing with Zhou Yu, Sun Quan waved his hand: "Whoever brings more people and supplies will be more land!"

The wealthy families were very excited when they heard this. They started to fight for their future land in Yizhou.

A day later, Sun Quan and Zhou Yu were pondering the scorched earth policy in the conference hall.

At this time, Lu Xun came in joy and said, "Good news, Your Majesty!"

"What good news?" Sun Quan couldn't get excited when he saw Lu Xun.

Lu Xun smiled and said, "The statistics of the entire Yuzhang county have come to light. There are a total of hundreds of families following them, with more than 20,000 private soldiers. The ministers have ordered them to destroy the village and bring the people to Yuzhang county town to gather."

"More than 20,000 private soldiers!" Sun Quan couldn't help but stand up.

Lu Xun shook his head and smiled, saying, "At the beginning, I didn't consider that these big families were in Jiangdong for hundreds of years, with deep foundations, and their servants and private soldiers followed these big families for several generations, so I listened very much. If they could be integrated all of them, their strength would not be below the official one..."

"Okay, okay..." Sun Quan was afraid that no one would follow him, so he finally smiled, "Han Xin used troops, and the more he would be better. He followed me to Yizhou to rebuild the Great Wu Kingdom."

However, Sun Quan soon became frowning again. Zhou Yu's plan was very vicious and would inevitably leave a bad reputation. In order to be able to return legitimately in the future, there was also a fig leaf. So Sun Quan looked puzzled and revealed it in a vague way.

Zhou Yu, who was standing aside, thought about it and said, "Your Majesty, this matter is easy to talk about. I can summon the people of the whole city to listen to the emperor's lecture. The emperor can talk about the three generations of the Sun family's pleading on Jiangdong, and let the people voluntarily accompany him..."

When Sun Quan heard this, he became unhappy and said unhappy: "If the people are unwilling to accompany you, how can I have my face? Isn't it even more unfavorable to my reputation?"

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "The emperor was wrong. Those who didn't want to accompany him were treason. Those who were punished by treason were killed by the nine clans. Just arresting them to Yizhou was already a great blessing!"

"The emperor's kindness is so great!" Sun Quan was stunned when he heard this, then ecstatic and said, "Yes, yes, yes, yes, what is not followed is treason. I just took them to Yizhou and only caught them to Yizhou. It is already kind as a saint! Okay, Zhou Yu. Very good, just do it..."

When Lu Xun heard the answer between the king and his ministers, he thought to himself: "If you steal all the people, is it treason if the people don't agree? This policy that only tyrants have implemented since ancient times is actually his emperor's kindness! This remark is really a fig leaf for the tyrant, and it is much more fierce than the cousin's archway!"

Lu Xun's big eyes flashed at Zhou Yu, and he suddenly "looked at the elegant governor with admiration". He never expected that Zhou Yu, who was gentle in the past, would be so sinister after turning his face. This really caused the entire Jiangdong elders to die.

So, on the morning of the next day, 20,000 soldiers and horses from the city were dispatched to drive away 200,000 people and came outside the south gate.

"What happened? Why did we get out of the city?"

"I don't know..." For a moment, the 200,000 people gathered together like villagers who were driven to the threshing ground by the Japanese, trembling and did not dare to move.

I saw 20,000 Eastern Wu soldiers holding weapons. I was on the periphery and saw who was disobedient and punched and kicked, like a group of evil sharks staring at the fish.

Suddenly, the cry of a woman came from east to west. The fish-like people looked up in horror. They saw many soldiers escorting more people.

These people are mainly young and young girls. Men push carts full of goods, or carry large and small bags. Their daughters are holding soft and soft things. More people are coming one after another, and these people are the people brought by the wealthy families in all parts of Yuzhang County.

Twenty thousand private soldiers and evil slaves escorted 100,000 people. The people had no force and could not resist.

When the people who were driven out of the county town saw it, they suddenly felt an ominous premonition.

Amid the buzzing whispers, Sun Quan wore a brand new dragon robe and climbed the city gate tower. He looked far away from both sides and found that more and more local families were coming with the people. He felt that Zhou Yu's plan would be implemented smoothly. With the support of these families, it was no problem to go to Yizhou to rebuild Dawu. As for the others, Sun Quan didn't think so much.

When Sun Quan waved his hand, the horses galloped out from the city gate, and circled around the people, shouting: "Sujing, silence, the Emperor of Great Wu is going to speak..."

The periphery was full of fierce soldiers holding swords and guns, and the people dared to be disobedient. They all closed their mouths, and some crying children were even covered by adults.

Sun Quan waved his sleeves with his hands, opened his blue eyes, and flicked his purple beard, and his voice was like a bell. He said to all directions, "I, inherit the foundation of my father and brothers and establish the Great Wu Kingdom. You and others are all the people of the Wu Kingdom. Now, the tyrannical Qin gangs and the country is in danger... and the prosperity of the country is responsible..."

When Sun Quan said this, he signaled Zhou Yu on the side. Zhou Yu took out the edict and began to recite: "The Great Wu has reached the point of life and death. In order to win the war against Qin, it is necessary to transfer strategically. All the people of Wu must pay off all the money and food, the middle-aged people must join the army, and capable women must contribute to the logistics........... cannot leave a useful item to the enemy, and all those that cannot be taken away will be destroyed..."

The simple and straightforward meaning is that the middle-aged man and young woman take all the items in the house and follow Sun Quan, and destroy what cannot be taken away.

As soon as these words came out, the people outside the city were in an uproar.

Someone shouted, "What should we do with our parents, wife and children?"

Sun Quan was not easy to interfere with, so naturally there was Zhou Yu, the governor on the side, who saw that he had lost his former elegance and angrily scolded: "For the sake of the Great Wu Kingdom, some sacrifices are inevitable!"

"What!" The people never thought that the elegant governor would say such inhumane words, and they were stunned.

In the crowd, many old people started crying: "Son, don't go, don't leave me alone..."

Many children started crying, "Don't leave me..."

After a short period of time, hundreds of thousands of people were in trouble. All the young people shouted: "We will not leave our hometown!"

"We won't leave..."

"Why take away our property!"

The crowd started to stir.

Sun Quan had expected this and signaled Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu immediately shouted: "Don't be in trouble. The Sun family has given us great kindness. At this time of crisis, we should serve the court..."

Some of the people also knew the truth, and immediately shouted and warned others, shouting: "You want to confiscate our property, you are bandits and bandits. You also want us to abandon our parents, wives and children. Such behavior is even worse than beasts! You dare to slander the people and treason. You have never seen such a despicable and shameless person!"

"Sun Quan is a tyrant!"

"For thousands of years, there have been countless countries changing, and I have never seen such a tyrant who is invincible!"

"Everyone, run away and go to Emperor Hongwu!"

The crowd outside the city became even more riot, and many people began to hit the cordon around. They saw Sun Quan's purpose and wanted to escape as soon as possible.

Sun Quan was red in his eyes and furious in his face. He said so much just to find a fig leaf. At this moment, he pulled out the ancient ingot knife and pointed at the people under the city angrily, shouting: "Disobeying orders means treason, treason and killing the nine clans! But I am kind and open my mind, just confiscating the property, strong men, girls ascend to the army, and old and weak are exiled on the spot!"

There are also passionate people among the people. After hearing this, they angrily scolded: "Shameless Blue-eyed Child, you rob our things, kill our young and old, and say that we are treasonable, shameless! Shameless!"

Sun Quan was so angry that he danced on the top of the city and shouted, "Come on, start the execution. If you don't follow, start the killing!"

"Wow!"

"Wow~, the Blue-eyed Child must die a little..."
