Chapter 1779 The Unlucky Dongwu
Chapter 1777: The unlucky Dongwu
Most of the troops in the Eastern Wu were competing with Liu Xiu for Jiangxia County, while the remaining troops were busy encircling and suppressing Japanese pirates, and they were unable to win for a long time, which also made the country more rebellious.
Shanyue in Yangzhou is like Baiyue in Jiaozhou and Wulingman in Jingnan. They are both ethnic minorities entrenched in the territory of the Han Dynasty.
The difference is that the Wuling Man has been conquered by Liu Xiu, and Baiyue has also surrendered to Liu Xiu''s military power and dared not cause trouble. However, the problem of Shanyue has not been eradicated by the Eastern Wu, which has always been the most troublesome problem in the Eastern Wu.
Since occupying Jiangdong, Sun Jian sent troops to attack Shanyue several times, and he won a great victory every time. Shanyue''s strength has been greatly weakened. However, the remaining Shanyue is entrenched in the deep mountains and forests. If he does not come out on his own initiative, it will be impossible to completely eliminate it.
Seeing that Shan Yue was already afraid of being beaten by himself and did not dare to come out to cause trouble, Sun Jian temporarily stopped his idea of ??completely clearing up Shan Yue and instead curbed the growth of his neighbor Liu Xiu.
What Sun Jian didn''t know was that Shan Yue was not afraid of being beaten by him, but just hiding it and restoring his strength.
Shanyue people generally hold grudges, and during Sun Jian''s attack on Shanyue, countless Shanyue people died at the hands of the Eastern Wu, and the two sides had already formed a mortal enemy.
Therefore, taking advantage of the internal and external difficulties of Eastern Wu, the various tribes of Shanyue rose up to rebel.
The leader of Yuzhang Mountain Yue Zulang, Danyang Mountain Yue Fei Zhan, Poyang Mountain Yue Peng Hu, Lujiang Mountain Yue Chen Ce, Kuaiji Mountain Yue Huang Lu, Yong''an Mountain Yue Shi Dan, Qian Tangshan Mountain Yue Peng Shi, Linchuan Mountain Yue Dong Si... and other thirteen mountains and tribes all over the country raised their troops to rebel. For a time, there were beacons everywhere in Jiangdong.
The total population of Shanyue is hundreds of thousands, and among these Shanyue rebels, the strongest one is Yuzhang Zulang, with a population of 100,000 and a soldier of 20,000.
The remaining Shanyue rebels were nearly 10,000, and the fewest were thousands.
As the rebellion was launched together, the momentum was extremely huge and had already shaken the foundation of the Eastern Wu.
Sun Jian, who was far away in Jiangxia, saw that the Japanese pirates had not been wiped out and the victims had not yet settled, but Shanyue launched a rebellion, and the scale was so large that it completely made the good Wu Kingdom a sieve, and there were loopholes everywhere, so he was naturally furious about this.
Sun Jian never expected that Shanyue, who was regarded as vulnerable by him, would give him a fatal blow at this time, and he secretly regretted why he left this hidden danger.
Although Shanyue is having fun in the territory of Wu, as long as the main army of Eastern Wu returns, it will be a matter of time to deal with these Shanyue, which are not even equipped with weapons.
But once the Eastern Wu withdraws troops from Jiangxia, Huang Zu alone will definitely not be able to stop Liu Xiu, which is equivalent to giving Jiangxia to Liu Xiu. By then, Chu will have an absolute geographical advantage over Wu.
The dispute between Jiangxia is related to the dispute over national destiny between Wu and Chu. Whoever can seize Jiangxia first will have an absolute advantage, so Sun Jian will support Huang Zu at all costs.
But for the current Eastern Wu, the most important thing is no longer to compete for Jiangxia, but to quickly extinguish the rebellion in the country. Otherwise, even if Jiangxia is obtained, if Jiangdong is occupied by the rebels, it will be more than worth the loss.
"Lord, the most urgent task now is to suppress the Shanyue rebellion, so it is better to withdraw your troops as soon as possible." Zhang Zhao said.
Although Sun Jian also wanted to withdraw his troops and suppress the rebellion, Jiangxia was too important after all, the dispute over national destiny was too important, so he couldn''t help but hesitate.
After thinking for a long time, Sun Jian couldn''t make a decision, so he looked at Sun Wu and asked, "Brother Wu, what do you think?"
Sun Wu smiled bitterly and said, "Retreat the troops. Now even Jiangdong is no longer stable. When we first expel Japanese pirates and suppress Shanyue, we are considering others." Hearing Sun Wu''s words, Sun Jian sighed helplessly and cursed, "Damn Shanyue, and the **** Japanese pirates, I will never let them go."
The implication is to agree with withdrawing troops to suppress the rebellion.
This time, when he was competing with Liu Xiu for Jiangxia, Sun Jian came with the determination to win, but he did not expect to be defeated by Liu Xiu on the battlefield, but he lost to Liu Xiu for no reason because of the attack of Japanese pirates and the Shanyue rebellion in the country.
This time, it means losing Jiangxia. Even if Wu quells the domestic rebellion, the situation of Wu may not be very good in the confrontation with Chu in the future.
As soon as he thought of this, Sun Jian couldn''t help but envy Liu Xiu''s luck. He obviously did nothing, but he won a national war for no reason.
There is no one else in this luck.
"Oh, God helps Chu but Wu."
Sun Jian couldn''t help but sigh, his heart full of reluctance and helplessness.
The news that Sun Jian wanted to withdraw his troops and return to suppress the rebellion was like a bolt from the blue for Huang Zu.
Huang Zu Huang Xie and his son came to lobby one after another, but no matter what they said, Sun Jian only asked back: "If Jiang Xia also faced such a situation, will you ignore the rebellion in the country and do your best to help me Wu?"
This alone made Huang Zu and Huang Xie and his son speechless. If they were in Sun Jian''s situation, they would definitely make the same decision as Sun Jian.
Huang Zu and Huang Xie and his son also knew about the situation in Wu. It was obvious that it was impossible to leave Wu to help Jiangxia resist Chu.
But without the assistance of the Eastern Wu, how could the Jiangxia army be able to stop the Chu army with the strength of the Jiangxia army alone?
As all the 100,000 Eastern Wu troops evacuated Jiangxia, Jiangxia prefect Huang Zu fell ill directly in helplessness and despair. His eldest son Huang Xie was ordered to take charge of everything in Jiangxia''s army, but it was also difficult to escape the fate of the country.
After the Wu army withdrew from Jiangxia, it was divided into two parts. A unit of 70,000 troops was led by Sun Jian to suppress the Shanyue rebellion in various places. The other unit of 30,000 naval troops was led by Sun Wu. It went straight to the estuary along the Yangtze River, detoured through the Wu army and Kuaiji County, and was responsible for extermination of the Japanese pirates rampant in He and the two counties.
Jiangxia seemed to be a bad place for Dongwu, but as soon as he left Jiangxia, the fortune of Dongwu immediately improved.
On the eighth day after the Wu army withdrew from Jiangxia, Sun Ce defeated the rebels of Mount Yue of Kuaiji and killed his leader Huang Lu, and Kuaiji Shanyue was quickly pacified.
On the ninth day, Sun Wu, who went east to wipe out the Japanese pirates, rushed through the Danyang territory and killed his leader Fei Zhan. Danyang Shanyue was quickly pacified.
On the 13th, Sun Jian first defeated Yuzhang Shanyue, killed more than 5,000 enemies and returned. He later defeated Zulang several times, and finally convinced him and surrendered to the Wu army.
As soon as Zulang surrendered, the largest Shanyue rebellion in the Eastern Wu was quelled, and the turmoil in the territory was relatively stable, not as critical as before.
