Chapter 2549 Jiaozhou and Guangzhou, Sun Ce enters Qin


    Chapter 2546: Guangzhou, Jiaozhou, Sun Ce enters Qin


    Zhuyazhou is Hainan Island in later generations.


    In this era, Zhuyazhou actually did not have much population. Before the Yellow Turban Uprising, there were only one or two thousand people in total.


    After the Chu State captured Jiaozhou, a large number of Baiyue people who were dissatisfied with the rule fled to Zhuyazhou and survived here, which allowed Zhuyazhou to gradually survive.


    After completely pacifying the Baiyue of Jiaozhou, the State of Chu did not let Zhuyazhou go. It only took a few thousand soldiers to occupy this place and established Zhuya County, also known as Zhuyazhou.


    Then Zhuyazhou became the foundation of the Chu State''s naval army and the prison for exiling important prisoners, and Sun Ce, the former crown prince of the Wu State, was detained here.


    After Sun Ce was captured alive by Guo Ziyi in Jiangxia, he was initially imprisoned in a prison in Xiling City.


    When Sun Wu''s army was approaching Xiling, Sun Ce was in the city. However, behind the high walls of Xiling City, Sun Wu did not carry large-scale siege equipment and failed to break through Xiling City, so he missed Sun Ce.


    After Liu Xiu saved Xiling City, he was worried that the Wu army would follow Sun Wu and repeat the siege of Xiling again, so he simply transferred Sun Ce to the capital Changsha.


    On the way to Changsha alone, Wu carried out three rescues, and all the secret spies lurking in Chu became active.


    However, Liu Xiu was obviously prepared for this and did not let Sun Jian''s rescue plan succeed, and he also ambushed many masters from the Eastern Wu.


    After Sun Ce was transported to Changsha, Sun Jian''s eyes also focused on Changsha, and sent a large number of secret agents to inquire and wait for an opportunity to rescue Sun Ce, but he did not know that Sun Ce had been transferred by Liu Xiu again, and was also transferred to Zhuyazhou, which was isolated overseas.


    In order to rescue Sun Ce, Sun Jian sacrificed a large number of spies and broke through the Changsha Heavenly Prison twice, but still failed to find Sun Ce''s traces.


    When things developed to this point, Sun Jian was slow and realized that Sun Ce had been transferred again, so he gave up sending people to rescue him secretly and negotiated with Chu State to prepare to redeem Sun Ce.


    Sun Jian never gave up saving Sun Ce, and Sun Ce has been trying to find a way to save himself, but Chu State''s supervision of him was too strict.


    Liu Xiu not only blocked Sun Ce''s skills, but also put medicine on food and made him weak, and also took turns monitoring for 24 hours. Sun Ce had no chance of escape from prison.


    After several trials, he failed and suffered a lot, Sun Ce realized that it was impossible to escape by himself, so he had to give up escaping from prison and wait for rescue from the outside world.


    The reason why Sun Ce felt it was a rescue rather than a redemption was that after knowing the conditions of Chu, he even felt that Liu Xiu had too much appetite and had no sincerity in peace talks.


    If the Wu State really ceded the three counties of Yuzhang and Lujiang County, it would be completely surrounded by Chu State. What is the difference between it and the destruction of the country?


    Even if the father, Sun Jian, was willing to agree, the civil and military officials of the Wu Kingdom could not agree.


    Therefore, Sun Ce felt that it was unlikely to negotiate to redeem himself, and Wu should choose to send someone to rescue him.


    Sun Ce waited and waited, not waiting in Changsha, nor in Jingnan, until he was transferred to Zhuyazhou, and he was completely desperate.


    Where is Zhuyazhou?


    It is an isolated island south of Jiaoguang and Guangzhou, a wilderness hanging alone overseas.


    How could the father guess that he was locked up in this place where the birds don’t poop?


    Why is it said to be Jiaotong-Guangzhou?


    Sun Ce also learned after being imprisoned in Zhuya Prefecture that not long ago, the State of Chu divided Jiaozhou into two states.


    After the Chu State occupied Jiaozhou, it first conquered Baiyue and then implemented a new policy. After years of governance and no war broke out for a long time, even the poor Jiaozhou gradually flourished and its economic population grew rapidly.


    Today, the Han people + Baiyue people + other barbarians in the seven counties of Jiaozhou, as well as the captured and captured Ruan Yue slaves, have reached more than 2.7 million;


    It is no longer the poor state with a total population of less than one million.


    In order to more conveniently govern Jiaozhou, Liu Xiu decided to follow Ying Haohe and establish Hezhou, and Yang Guang established Haizhou, and divided Jiaozhou into two prefectures.


    Among the seven counties of Jiaozhou, Nanhai County, Cangwu County, Hepu County and Yulin County were assigned to Guangzhou.


    In addition, Nanhai County was divided into Nanhai and Longyan counties.


    Cangwu County was divided into Shaoguan and Cangwu counties.


    Hepu County was divided into three counties: Guangzhou, Hepu and Zhuya.


    Yulin County was divided into two counties: Yulin and Nanning;


    Guangzhou, which has re-produced administrative planning, has: Guangzhou, Hepu, Zhuya, Nanhai, Longyan, Shaoguan, Cangwu, Yulin, and Nanning, a total of nine counties and ninety-six counties, with a total population of 2.2 million;


    As for the three counties of Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen and Rinan, which are too remote, and the Honghe County that are robbed from Ruan and Yue, a total of four counties and thirty-six counties are still owned by the newly born Jiaozhou, with a total population of 500,000.


    After Jiaozhou was divided by Liu Xiu, the sixteen prefectures in China became seventeen prefectures, namely: Sili, Ji, You, Bing, Liang, Qing, Yan, Xu, Yu, Yang, Jing, Yi, Jiao, Guang, Hai, He, and Ying;


    The territory of the State of Chu has also become: two counties in Jingbei, four counties in Jingnan, half counties in Yangzhou, nine counties in Guangzhou, and four counties in Jiaozhou;


    Since Liu Xiu divided the division based on the former Jiaozhou, there was only one Honghe County that expanded in the counterpoint, and did not expand much territory.


    In contrast, Yang Guang''s Haizhou was seized from the Qiang people, while Ying Hao''s Hezhou was seized from the Huns.


    Therefore, Liu Xiu did not receive a system reward like Yang Guang and Ying Hao when he set up Guangzhou this time.


    If Liu Xiu can expand New Jiaozhou to seven or eight counties in the future, it will be equivalent to a new state, and the system will also reward it.


    However, since Liu Xiu built so many chassis in Siam, he only retained one Red River County. As a strategic buffer, he has no interest in the barren Nanyang so far.


    Back to the topic, after Sun Ce was imprisoned in Zhuya Prefecture, he knew that no one would come to save him, because no one could guess that he was imprisoned here.


    But what Sun Ce never expected was that Sima Yi guessed the place where he was detained, but the people sent by Sun Quan did not come to save him, but to kill him.


    In order to successfully get rid of Sun Ce, Sun Quan sent two master-level killers, two half-step master-level killers, and eight top-class killers to come to Zhuyazhou to find Sun Ce''s traces.


    Before Sun Quan took power, the strongest man under his command was only half a step into the Grandmaster.


    But when he became King of Wu and took over the power of the State of Wu, he could easily send two master-level killers, as well as ten half-step masters and top-notch masters, which shows that Wu''s foundation is still very profound.


    Twelve killers successfully climbed to Zhuyazhou. After some search, they quickly locked in a prison, and Sun Ce was detained in prison.


    When Sun Ce learned that someone was robbing prison, he shouted excitedly and revealed his location. But when the visitor was imprisoned, when he waved his sword at him without saying a word, Sun Ce was frightened and sweated.


    At this time, his skills were blocked, and his cartilage was scattered, and he was weak all over. He was no match for any of the killers.


    At the critical moment, Meng Sheng, the Supreme Elder of the Mo family, who was hidden in prison, was a swordsman at the level of a half-step master. He rescued Sun Ce in time and cleanly cut all the assassins under the sword.


    After Meng Sheng returned the sword to the sheath, he sneered: "There is a master around Sun Quan, and he was able to find this place."


    Sun Ce looked at the corpse in the prison and gritted his teeth, "Don''t even think about getting rid of our brothers'' relationship. This assassin must have been sent by Liu Xiu."


    Meng Sheng gave Sun Ce a blank look and said indifferently: "Just deceive yourself."


    After saying that, Meng Sheng ignored Sun Ce, returned to his cell and began to use his skills to regulate his breathing.


    As the supreme elder of the Mo family, Meng Sheng was locked up with Sun Ce because Liu Xiu did it on purpose.


    The purpose is to keep a close eye on Sun Ce to prevent him from escaping prison and also protect Sun Ce''s safety.


    Meng Sheng originally thought that this trip was useless. He only needed to stay in prison for a few months before he could return to the Mo family to continue his retirement.


    After all, Zhuyazhou is too remote. No one would have thought that Sun Ce would be locked up here, but he did not expect that the masters of Wu had really come here, just to kill Sun Ce.


    After Meng Sheng left, Sun Ce''s face suddenly turned pale. How could he not see that the assassin used Jiangdong''s sword technique?


    Although Sun Ce has been locked in prison, it does not mean that he does not know what happened outside. Liu Xiu will send people to tell him what happened outside.


    Therefore, Sun Ce knew that his position as crown prince had been abolished, and that his father Sun Jian was dead and his second brother Sun Quan succeeded to the throne to become the new king of Wu.


    For this reason, Sun Ce also blamed himself for a long time, and for the first time he felt regretful.


    Why didn''t he listen to Wang Shusun Wu, just for Wu Zhiqi, and went deep into the army alone, resulting in the entire army of Jiefan, the strongest combat power of the Eastern Wu, being wiped out, and even he was captured alive by the Chu State.


    It’s just because Jiang Xia’s defeat in this battle and was captured alive this time, Sun Ce lost too much.


    After all, the position of King Wu should have belonged to him, but none of these belonged to him.


    The position of crown prince was gone, and his father was dead. All of it was gone, and all of this was because of his recklessness.


    So, whenever Sun Ce thinks of this, he feels extremely blameless and even feels a little discouraged.


    He wanted to atone for his sins and make up for his mistakes, but his second brother Sun Quan had succeeded to the throne and became the new King of Wu. Even if he went back, he could only surrender.


    Sun Ce knew that his second brother Sun Quan had just succeeded to the throne, which was a critical period for establishing his prestige. If he went back now, it would undoubtedly be the biggest obstacle for Sun Quan to take power, so the other party had the possibility of getting rid of him.


    But Sun Ce was unwilling to believe this from the bottom of his heart, and he was more willing to believe that it might be Liu Xiu doing it on purpose.


    Liu Xiu found several masters who knew Jiangdong swordsmanship to assassinate him, and then deliberately asked Meng Sheng to save him in order to separate the relationship between him and Erdi.


    That''s right, it must be. Sun Ce comforted himself in his heart.


    A few days later, the Wu-Chu negotiations officially ended, and the Wu State agreed to withdraw from the six cities including Anhui County in exchange for the Chu State to release Sun Ce and prisoners of war.


    The State of Chu secretly escorted Sun Ce, who was imprisoned in Zhuya Prefecture, to Lujiang County. After successfully accepting the six cities, he released Sun Ce to Sun Wu as agreed.


    The moment Sun Ce saw Sun Wu, he almost cried excitedly, but when he saw the other released prisoners of war, he couldn''t help but change his color and said, "Wait, where is Li Lu?"


    Seeing that there was no Li Lu in the released prisoners of war, Sun Wu couldn''t help but say coldly: "Please keep your promise and release General Li Lu."


    Pang Tong couldn''t help laughing when he heard this, "Our Chu State has not violated the agreement. All prisoners of war are here. General Li Lu has surrendered to our Great Chu, so naturally it is not here."


    "You fart, how could he surrender?" Li Yang said angrily.


    "That''s the truth, do you believe it or not?" Pang Tong chuckled.


    "you…"


    Li Yang wanted to have an attack, but was stopped by Sun Wu.


    "Okay, I''m thinking of a way later, and I''ll go back first."


    After returning to Shucheng, Sun Wu met with Sun Ce alone and said with a serious look on his face: "Bo Fu, you can''t go back to Jianye."


    Sun Ce''s expression changed suddenly and he hurriedly asked, "Uncle, why is this?"


    "The Eastern Wu is no longer the Eastern Wu of the past. You should understand that going back now is not a good thing for you, Zhongmou, and Eastern Wu." Sun Wu said with a complicated look on his face.


    Sun Ce understood what Sun Wu said, and after a long silence, he spoke, "If you don''t go back to Dongwu, where will I go?"


    "Go to Daqin. Xiang''er is in Luoyang now. You can stay in Luoyang for a year and come back after Xiang''er gets married."


    Sun Wu said seriously, he was also doing good for Sun Ce. After all, if Sun Ce returns now, it will only become a thorn in Sun Quan''s eyes. Whether he can survive is a question.


    When Sun Ce heard this, he couldn''t help but clench his fists, but finally let go weakly and said in pain: "What should I do with the funeral of my father?"


    Sun Wu did not answer. A line of clear tears flowed across Sun Ce''s eyes and said bitterly: "Okay, my nephew is willing to enter Qin."


    Hearing this, Sun Wu felt relieved. He was really afraid that Sun Ce would be as reckless as before and insisted on returning to Eastern Wu regardless of everything. However, it seems that Sun Ce''s temperament has indeed become much more calm after being captured this time.
