Chapter 105 Proposal to build a new capital

After the ceremony, Sun Quan asked everyone to sit down because Sun Quan was more human rights and equal thinking, and put them on the Grand Master's chair, which was no longer the futon of the past. Then Sun Quan asked Chen Nian to pull out a map near the Yangtze River and said to everyone:

"Wu County is in a plain area, with no danger to guard in the southeast, west and northwest. Moreover, the six counties of Jiangdong and the newly-defined Jiaozhou and Jingnan are all south of the river. Wu County is no longer suitable as the center of Jiangdong. I want to find a suitable place to build a big city as my capital of Jiangdong. You are all talented people in Jiangdong. Let's talk about their own suggestions. Teacher, let's talk first!"

Zhang Zhao was named by Sun Quan, but he didn't know about this matter in advance. Sun Quan just came back. Who knew that the first thing was not to discuss rewards or ask about political affairs. It turned out to be the one who moved the capital. So he said: "I also think that Wu County is indeed not suitable. It lacks military protection and is not very convenient to control the local area. You can choose one south of the river, preferably on the edge of the river, so that it will not be far away from the Central Plains."

When Sun Quan heard this, Zhang Zhao was still very fooling, but he liked Moling, so he continued to ask: "Everyone, do you have any more specific suggestions? Zijing, all the three old uncles talk about their ideas."

After hearing Sun Quan's words, Lu Su stood up and looked at the map that Chen Nian had put on, and then said, "I think Moling is good. I have been here. The tiger occupies a dragon plaque and has a lot of atmosphere."

Cheng Pu, Huang Zhong and Han Dang did not express any opinions on this, but said: "Just rely solely on the lord!"

When Sun Quan saw Gu Yong sitting there without saying a word, he deliberately said, "Zijing said it well. Yuan Tan, you are also a famous scholar in Jiangdong, tell me what you think!"

Gu Yong was stunned when he saw Sun Quan suddenly named him, and then he had to say, "I think Lu Su's words are very good. I only express one attitude. The lord builds a new capital. I am willing to donate money, grain and slaves to contribute my meager strength to my lord's great cause."

When Sun Quan heard that Gu Yong was compromising with him on behalf of the Gu family, so that the Zhang family and Gu family of Jiangdong gentry could handle it. When he saw his father-in-law Bu Wei, he had to ask, relatives, and asked, "My father-in-law, what do you think?"

Bu Wei immediately stood up and bowed and said, "How dare I? Just call me by my lord by my name! I also suggest building it in Moling!"

Sun Quan knew that everyone was not mentally prepared for this, so when Lu Su mentioned a place, he agreed. When the problem happened, it would be Lu Su's affairs. Therefore, Zhang Zhao did not talk about the place, but was a veteran of the political arena, an old fox. So he said, "Then let's settle Moling. I will think about how the city is built. Everyone will go back and think about it. I think the important task of building the city this time will be left to my father-in-law and Yuan Tan. Teacher, you have to give them some support."

Sun Quan did not have the opportunity to discuss it, so he threw the task out directly. You, Gu Yong, have to work hard, then you will be responsible. At that time, you can do as much effort as you want, and Gu Yong's ability is also good. Gu Yong was also very happy to hear it. This at least means that Sun Quan gave him a chance, and he will be safe after he seized it. Bu Ying, as Sun Quan's father-in-law, was naturally happy, at least his son-in-law was still facing him.

"The two are responsible for building the city. After returning, I first think about how to build the city. Five days later, I will give me a general idea. It is best to have a sketch of the city planning. If you need help, find a teacher to transfer someone!" Sun Quan put forward his own request. Of course, Sun Quan himself had to go back and plan, and he would definitely not follow others', but the opportunity still needs to be given to others.

After Zhou Yu stabilized Changsha, he asked Sun Yi to send a letter to Sun Quan, asking for the candidates for the prefect of Changsha County and the arrangements of each county, and then arranged to pacify the other three counties. Since the county magistrate of Changsha County had been killed by Huang Zhong and Huang Zhong had not received any punishment, it was estimated that the possibility of persuading surrender was relatively small. Everyone would probably suspect that Huang Zhong's murder was arranged by Jiangdong.

Zhou Yu arranged for the navy to defend the city first, and then he took the Eighth Division to Lingling. Liu Du, the prefect of Lingling County, had already discussed with his subordinates and had to resist to the end. He was afraid that if he was killed inexplicably like Han Xuan, he heard the news that Zhou Yu brought five thousand people, so he discussed with his beloved general Xing Daorong and his son Liu Xian that Xing Daorong would have no rivals in Lingling. His self-confidence was simply overwhelming, and he said arrogantly: "Zhou Yu only has five thousand people to attack, and I only have five thousand people, so I will guarantee that he will not be left with a single armor!"

Liu Du was also confused by Xing Daorong's confidence and said excitedly: "I have General Xing Daorong, why not be afraid of Zhou Yu's children! Daorong, I will ask my son Liu Xian to go with you and give you 8,000 people. This is all my Lingling family. You must take Zhou Yu back to your hometown for me."

Liu Xian immediately said happily: "Father, don't worry. I will definitely cooperate with General Xing. You will be waiting for us by a good celebration wine!"

Zhou Yu marched with his men and horses. When he was still ten miles away, he received an inquiry report that Lingling County had actually left the city and was lined up, waiting to fight with him. After seeing the inquiry, Zhou Yu laughed. He really didn't understand where they got their confidence. He dared to run out of the city. He was too disrespectful to Zhou Gongjin. But in war, isn't it a good thing for the enemy to be stupid?

Zhou Yu called Puyang Xing, the commander of the 8th Division, and told him the information. Then he explained: "The enemy has already set up a formation under the city. You can take your people to kill me directly. If you want to kill the enemy, you will not leave any more prisoners if the enemy surrenders. We are still short of people in Jiangdong. Tell your brothers that after the war, you will go to the city for lunch. Liu Du has prepared hot meat buns for us!"

Then Puyang Xing arranged for the messengers to shout in unison: "Brothers, go to the city for lunch after the war!" Thousands of people shouted together. Liu Xian and Xing Daorong under the city heard the shouts of Jiangdong's army, and felt as if they had met a group of fools. Xing Daorong said to Liu Xian: "Young Master, this Zhou Yu was kicked by a donkey in the head! He was so arrogant! He was so arrogant. Otherwise, we would rush forward and solve them earlier!"

Liu Xian had no objection when he heard this and said, "The general is confident, so we will rush forward. It will be more powerful and more beneficial to rush forward!"

So the two of them rushed towards the Jiangdong Army with their troops. Zhou Yu soon received the information. Only then did he know what a fool is. He could wait for his leisure, but he still wanted to charge. After you run for a while, you were almost wasted your energy. I will be done with another charge, so I asked someone to send Puyang Xing, asking him to wait for Lingling's men to run for a while, and then suddenly launch a charge when they get closer.

About half an hour later, the two armies could see each other clearly, and they were less than 500 meters apart. At this time, Puyang Xing ordered the army to launch a charge. The speed of the Eighth Division's eruption far exceeded that of Lingling's men. Moreover, the people led by Xing Daorong didn't have much physical strength to run away, and they were blocked by the Eighth Division's charge. The eight thousand people in Lingling were like a flood encountered a dam. The front could not move, and there was no place to go behind. Many soldiers directly hit their own people and fell.
