Chapter 1316: Sun Liu

Bai Xiaowen is still very confident in recruiting Hua Xin.

After Hua Xin took refuge, Bai Xiaowen was of course "overjoyed", and then made Hua Xin the Yilang, and granted him the position of Counselor of the Da Sima Mansion.

Hua Xin didn't expect to be so respected by Bai Xiaowen, so he thanked him naturally, thinking to himself, Yuan Xi is in such a high position at such a young age, and yet he can be respectful to a corporal, no wonder he has gained such a great reputation.

After being appointed as an official, Hua Xin is one of his own.

Bai Xiaowen asked: "You have been in Jingxiang and Jiangnan, so you should be more aware of the situation there. I heard that some time ago, there were frequent wars between Jingzhou and Jiangdong?"

Hua Xin replied: "Liu Biao has been in a slump ever since Xudu was defeated. The Sun family in Jiangdong is indeed powerful. A gathering of talented people, both civil and military, took advantage of the situation and sent troops to attack Jingzhou. Within half a month, they occupied the five counties in Jingxiang. .”

Bai Xiaowen nodded and said, "I've heard for a long time that Sun Ce is a tiger in the east of the Yangtze River, and he is as brave as Lu Bu. But I don't know who else is in his camp?"

Hua Xin said: "Writers include Lu Su, Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, etc., all of whom are famous men of the time; warriors, including Tai Shici, Sun Yi, Zhou Tai, etc., are also brave and fierce generals. There is also Zhou Yu's literary and military Shuangquan, and recently conquered the Jinfan bandit Gan Ning, the army is even stronger."

Bai Xiaowen had heard of these names before.

However, the general named "Sun Yi" still made Bai Xiaowen curious: "What is the relationship between this Sun Yi and Sun Ce?"

Hua Xin said: "Sun Yi is the third son of Sun Jian, the prefect of Changsha, and the third younger brother of Sun Ce. He is only sixteen years old, but he is already an adult, and has the courage that should be undue. Sun Ce loves him very much and always keeps him by his side."

Bai Xiaowen was secretly surprised, but he smiled and said: "Forgive me for a sixteen-year-old boy, what skills can you have?"

Hua Xin said seriously:

"Duke Yan should not be underestimated. Sun Yi is brave and not under Sun Ce; more than a month ago, some subordinates made trouble and got him drunk during the banquet, intending to assassinate him; Sun Yi was stabbed several times, bleeding everywhere, and still acted As usual, all the traitors will be counter-killed.

"Later, Sun Yi also made great achievements in the attack on Jingxiang. If Liu Bei hadn't given his full assistance and saved the remaining counties and cities, Liu Biao might not have a place to bury him when he died."

Bai Xiaowen nodded: "Then who is under Liu Bei's account?"

Hua Xin said: "In Liu Bei's tent, the military generals were stronger than the civil servants. Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Zhao Yun were all enemies. However, they recruited Xu Shu, Zhuge Liang and other talents, and they were like fish in water. Zhuge Liang was called 'Wolong', If it weren't for his strategy, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to keep the remaining cities."

Zhuge Liang's early appearance had already been known to Bai Xiaowen when he entered the world of the Three Kingdoms plane.

In addition to feeling regretful, Bai Xiaowen also knew it in his heart.

It seems that Sun Yi under Sun Ce's account should have been cut in by a top awakened person.

According to the rules of the spirit world, the real Sun Yi was hacked to death by a general, and then the top awakened person took over the identity of the dead Sun Yi and killed the rebellious general on the spot.

And under Liu Bei's account, there should be no powerful awakened people to join.

If there are powerful awakeners, they will definitely "get ahead" early, just like Sun Yi.

The awakened ones mentioned by Hua Xin who have never made their mark will definitely not affect the progress of Bai Xiaowen's unification.

Bai Xiaowen asked again: "Liu Biao's former subordinates,

Such as Cai Mao, Zhang Yun and others, are they still there? "

Hua Xin didn't expect the dignified Lord Yan to be quite familiar with the people in Jingzhou, so he replied cautiously: "Cai Mao was killed in the battle with the Sun family; Zhang Yun was under Liu Bei's command to assist in the drill of the navy. In addition There are also counselors such as Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue, who still respect Liu Cong as the main one."

Bai Xiaowen understood, no wonder Liu Bei was much more nourished than in the Romance. It turned out that his biggest stumbling block, Cai Mao, the pillar of the Cai family of the wealthy Jingxiang family, had been broken.

Without Cai Mao, Mrs. Cai is a little widow, and of course she can't be successful. Wasn't Liu Cong, a child, killed by Zhuge Liang at will?

As for the other civil servants of Liu Biao's former ministry in Jingzhou, everyone who played Zhuge Liang was either killed or marginalized sooner or later. The best result is to submit to Liu Bei.

"Sun Ce and Liu Bei, are they still attacking each other?" Bai Xiaowen asked the point.

Hua Xin shook his head and said: "I heard that Zhuge Liang wrote a letter to Sun Ce, and the two families stopped fighting for the time being to make peace. At present, Liu Bei protects Liu Cong in the nine counties of Jingxiang, and occupies four counties. The remaining five counties are all in the Sun family. hands."

Bai Xiaowen said with a smile: "It seems that the Sun and Liu families are all on guard against Gu!"

Hua Xin said: "Sun Liu is afraid of Duke Yan's power, so he stopped his troops and made peace. The Duke should slow down. If he rushes to attack the south of the Yangtze River, it will be difficult for Sun and Liu to join forces."

Bai Xiaowen nodded in approval. Hua Xin's ability to say such a thing is enough to show that he is also knowledgeable.

Bai Xiaowen was not in a hurry to go to the south of the Yangtze River. After all, in the romance, Cao Cao suffered a big loss at the hands of the Sun Liu coalition army, which made him unable to unify the world in his lifetime.

In Bai Xiaowen's view, it is better to take the land of Liangchuan first, so that Liu Bei cannot occupy Xichuan!

At that time, there will be thirteen states in the world, and Bai Xiaowen will own ten states. After accumulating enough strength, find a way to wipe out Sun Liu in one fell swoop and complete the unification.

Hua Xin stayed in Yedu, and Bai Xiaowen sent Hua Xin's deputy envoy back to Jingzhou with the imperial edict.

Regarding Liu Cong's succession, Bai Xiaowen did not obstruct it, but happily named Liu Cong the Jingzhou Shepherd. As for the request in the letter, please designate Liu Bei as General of Xiangyang and temporarily take care of Jingzhou affairs, Bai Xiaowen did not agree, but instead designated Liu Bei as Jiangxia Prefect.

At present, Jiangxia is already in Sun Ce's domain. It is not difficult to guess what Bai Xiaowen's intentions are for being appointed an official.

Especially with Zhuge Liang on the other side, Bai Xiaowen's abacus can be seen even more.

However, this is a conspiracy. I have the emperor in my hand, and I am happy to seal it up like this. You can fight it whatever you want.

Within a few days, the good news came back to Yedu.

With the help of Li Shuyi, Cecilia and others, Zhang He defeated the horse bandits in Bingzhou, killed more than a thousand enemies, and captured four hundred good horses.

Bai Xiaowen was overjoyed and rewarded Zhang Yun heavily.

However, among Zhang He's reports, there was one item that caught Bai Xiaowen's heart.

When suppressing the horse thieves in Bingzhou, Zhang Yun discovered that the base of these horse thieves was in Yunzhong County, Bingzhou.

And Yunzhong County is the territory of the Hu people, and there are Hu tribes such as Xianbei and Karasuma.

Moreover, the horse thieves killed were only a small number of Han people, and most of them were Hu people.

From this, we can know what happened to the horse thief in Bingzhou. If the Hu people cannot be severely injured, then the Bingzhou horse thief may revive and cannot be eradicated. Do you want Da Sima to conscript himself once and for all?

After Bai Xiaowen thought about it, the reply he gave was to order Zhang Xi to lead the victorious army and continue to conquer the alien races in the north, and the food and grass would be raised by the governor of Bingzhou.
