Who is in charge of Jiaozhou in Battle of Red Cliffs? When did Sun Quan get to Zhou?
Before Battle of Red Cliffs, the forces in JIAOZHOU area were already complicated. In short, there are three main forces. First, the power of indigenous scholars; The second is to remotely control Cao Cao's influence in the north; The third is the infiltration of Liu Biao's forces in Jingzhou.
The representative of the indigenous gentry is Shi Xie. Shi Xie's ancestral home is Lu Wenyang (now Ningyang, Shandong). As early as Wang Mang's rebellion, he avoided disaster and came to Jiaozhou. It spread to the sixth generation, that is, Shi Cishi, Shi Xie's father, and was appointed as the magistrate of Rinan by Emperor Huan of Han Dynasty, so Shi Ci was able to make a fortune. Shi Xie studied in Luoyang when he was young, and studied under the famous scholar Liu Ziqi. He is quite accomplished in Zuo's Family Biography in the Spring and Autumn Period, and he can be a scholar, leaving a good impression on the literati in the Central Plains.
Later, Shi Xie returned to Jiaozhou from Luoyang and served as the magistrate of Jiaozhou County, which is located in the hinterland of Jiaozhou and has the largest population. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was great chaos in the world, and the central government's control over the localities went from bad to worse. Because Jiaozhou is remote, the imperial court is beyond its reach. In the eighth year of Jian 'an (203), Zhu Fu, the secretariat of Jiaozhou appointed by the Eastern Han court, was killed by local ethnic minorities. Therefore, Shi Xie quickly let his three younger brothers, Shi Yi, Shi Yuanyou and Shi Wu, occupy Hepu, Jiuzhen and Nanhai counties respectively. In this way, the seven counties of Jiaozhou were easily won by the Shi brothers, and most of Jiaozhou fell into the hands of Shi. More importantly, since Jiaozhou has not been ravaged by war, Shi Xie is modest and generous, and likes to make friends, which makes him an excellent scholar. To this end, Xu Jing, Liu Ba, Cheng Bing, Kan Ze, Xue Zong, Hui Yuan and other Central Plains scholars have defected to him. Most of these people came with their clansmen. Others poured into Jiaozhou, and the population of Jiaozhou naturally soared. Therefore, this also means that the strength of history has gained unprecedented expansion.
Chen Shou described it in the History of the Three Kingdoms as follows: The Stone Evil Brothers are the first of the four counties, and the male crown is in the state, which is thousands of miles away from the imperial court, so they are highly respected in this state. In and out, bells rang, flutes rang, cars rode all over the road, and dozens of local ethnic minorities often waited on both sides of the road to burn incense and worship. Wives and concubines travel in gorgeous cars and sedan chairs, and their children are often escorted by a large number of military forces. This is a precious moment! Even in the early Han Dynasty, Wei Tuo, known as the King of South Vietnam in Jiaozhou, could not compare with his prestige and ostentation and extravagance!
Of course, it is impossible to win the world in the north by occupying Jiaozhou. Stone evil is also very self-aware and has no ambition to dominate the world. Therefore, although Shi Xie has actually become a local tyrant in Jiaozhou, at this time, he did not blatantly "pull the pole" and "pull the banner" like Cao Cao, Yuan Shao and Sun Quan. He still bowed to the court of the Eastern Han Dynasty, "paying tribute in vain" (The History of the Three Kingdoms, volume 49, Biography of Stone Rest), and sent messengers to Xuchang many times to pay tribute to the Emperor Han. At this time, the master of the Eastern Han Dynasty has become Cao Cao. At this time, Cao Cao's main task is to unify the north of China, but the south is also in preparation. Since Jingzhou was occupied by Liu Biao and Yangzhou was occupied by Sun Quan, Cao Cao could not directly exercise his rule over Jiaozhou in the name of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but Cao Cao still tried to take advantage of the tradition that the Han Dynasty had the right to appoint and dismiss officials in this area to exercise administrative control over it.
Therefore, after Zhu Fu died in the eighth year of Jian 'an (203), Cao Cao immediately sent Zhang Jin to succeed him as the secretariat of Jiaozhou. However, Zhang Jin nominally manages the whole state of Jiaozhou, but there are not many places where he can actually set foot. And he is a disappointing master, who not only does not make progress, but also often "wears a red handkerchief, burns incense and drums, reads evil books, and uses clouds to help" (The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, volume 46, Biography of Sun Ce, cited Biography of Jiangbiao), pretending to be a ghost, trying to become immortal. In the 11th year of Jian 'an (206), he was killed by the Ministry of Regional Scenery. At this point, the majesty and power of the Eastern Han court in Jiaozhou also fell apart. Jingzhou Liu Biao took advantage of the geographical advantage and quickly sent Lai Gong as the secretariat of Jiaozhou, and Wu Ju as the satrap of Cangwu, taking control of the northern part of Jiaozhou. In this way, the southern part of Jiaozhou was occupied by scholars, the northern part was infiltrated by Liu Biao's forces, and Cao Cao's forces were eliminated, leaving no place to stand.
After Yuan Shao's father and son were destroyed, Liu Biao has become the established goal of Cao Cao's going south, and the two are incompatible. In this situation, if Cao Cao didn't want to make a fatal accident, he had to rely on Shi Xie, who was kind to the court. Moreover, the seven generations of the Shi family have lived in Jiaozhou, and they also have four counties, which are quite impressive in terms of popular support and military strength. Therefore, Cao Cao fired a series of "sugar-coated shells" at Shi Xie, and appointed Shi Xie as a corps commander in southern Suiyuan, General Anyuan and Hou Ting, the capital of Longdu. In the 15th year of Jian 'an (2 10), in the name of Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty, he further "added (Shi Xie) the dance of nine tin and six women" (Book of Jin 15, Geography).
In fact, all Cao Cao's actions are meaningful and constantly adjusted according to the changes in the situation. In the eighth year of Jian 'an (203), Cao Cao sent Zhang Jin as the secretariat of Jiaozhou. In the same year, the secretariat of Jiaozhou was changed to "Zhou" and Zhang Jin was promoted to "". According to the practice of the Eastern Han Dynasty, only states with large population and important strategic position are called "states" administratively, and the county chiefs become "state shepherds". Otherwise, it can only be called "Secretariat of History" and "Secretariat of History". This sudden administrative promotion is obviously due to the increasingly prominent strategic position of Jiaozhou, which also means that Cao Cao wants to use Jiaozhou to make a difference. The author believes that Cao Cao's move is not only to strengthen control over the region, but also to deploy military operations. Because, in August of the same year, according to Guo Jia's plan, Cao Cao suspended the attack on Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang and pretended to attack Jingzhou, with the intention of making the Yuan brothers kill each other by delaying the troops, and then the fisherman benefited. Surprisingly, however, "in the next few days, Cao Cao wants to level Jingzhou first" (The History of the Three Kingdoms, Volume 25, Biography of Xin Pi). As we all know, military deployment is no joke. The author believes that Cao Cao dared to recalculate his abacus, probably because Zhang Jinhui cooperated with himself in Jiaozhou, and may even have reached a tacit understanding with Zhang Jin, attacking Liu Biao's influence in Jingzhou. Although this action finally failed to be implemented, it also means that Cao Shi's capture of Jingzhou has been put on the agenda. After that, Cao Cao sent Zhang Xiang to Jiaozhou to contact Zhang Jin and Shi Xie. Xu Jing, who was in Jiaozhou at that time, hit the nail on the head in the letter entrusted by Zhang Xiang to Cao Cao: "(Max Zhang) is also the foreign aid of the country and the first step (Cao Cao)" (The History of the Three Kingdoms, Volume 38, Biography of Xu Jing).
In the 14th year of Jian 'an (209), Cao Jun defeated Chibi, but Cao Cao's ambition to unify the whole country became more and more fierce, so the remote control of Jiaozhou naturally could not be relaxed. In the fifteenth year of Jian 'an (2 10), Cao Cao did not hesitate to seal the stone evil with the "Dance of Nine Tin and Six Shu". Its intention is not difficult to speculate, that is, to win over the Stone Association, make friends with Jimmy, and make a "long-term investment" for going south again.
However, a considerable part of Cao Cao's energy in the latter half of his life was spent on dealing with Han worshippers, and he failed to successfully go south all his life. Judging from the results, Cao Cao's "forward-looking investment" seems to have little profit. However, after careful consideration, the author found that Cao Cao had a more practical plan, that is, to give Shi Xie the "Dance of Nine Tin and Six Shu" in this year. Battle of Red Cliffs and Cao Cao suffered an unprecedented fiasco in their lives. They were badly weakened and fled in a panic. His authority in the imperial court was shaken, and his political opponents accused him of being "arrogant and rude". For this reason, Cao Cao specially concocted the well-known "Let the princess know his own story" and tried his best to defend himself in order to stabilize the internal situation. On this point, the academic community has fully understood it, so I won't repeat it here. The stone evil did not have any merits in the Eastern Han Dynasty, but Cao Cao suddenly added "Nine Tin and Six Shu" at this time, which is really a hidden mystery. In my opinion, this move should not only win over Shi Xie, cooperate with him to attack Sun Quan again, but more importantly, consolidate his position and authority with the help of the surrender of the diplomatic forces, and help himself to be at a disadvantage in the DPRK.
As mentioned earlier, Liu Biao of Jingzhou took advantage of the opportunity that Zhang Jin was killed by the Ministry of Regional Scenery. In the 11th year of Jian 'an (2006), with the help of geographical advantages, Lai Gong was quickly appointed as the secretariat of Jiaozhou, and Wu Ju was the satrap of Cangwu, thus taking control of the northern part of Jiaozhou. Below, let's analyze the reasons why Liu Biao actively infiltrated Jiaozhou. Compared with Cao Cao, Liu Biao's motivation is relatively simple. Although Liu Biao occupies eight counties in Jingzhou, "the land is a thousand miles away, and there are more than 100 thousand in armour" (Volume 6 of Liu Biao Biography of the Three Kingdoms), he has certain strength.

2 bankruptcy planned by Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang
How could such an important strategic place and Zhuge Liang not know? However, due to the concealment of historical materials, the relationship between Shu Han and Jiaozhou has not been discussed in detail so far.
In fact, when Zhuge Liang conceived the national territory for Liu Bei in Longzhong Dui, he unconsciously included Jiaozhou. At that time, Liu Bei was living in Liu Biao's house. Zhuge Liang believes that Liu Biao can't keep Jingzhou after all, and his demise is imminent. He earnestly advised Liu Bei to take his place, and further analyzed and said: "Jingzhou is bordered by Han and Mian in the north, Wu Hui in the east, and Ba and Shu in the west" (The Story of the Three Kingdoms, Volume 35, Biography of Zhuge Liang). The "South China Sea" mentioned here is the floorboard of JIAOZHOU area. Although Zhuge Liang mentioned Jiaozhou here to highlight the importance of Jingzhou, it also shows that Zhuge Liang has keenly seen that Jiaozhou is the "profit" of the strategic rear.
In addition, the words "Zhu Rong" and "Yi Yue" in "If there are Jing, Yi, and Yan resistance, Zhu Rong in the west and Yue in the south" in Volume 35 of the History of the Three Kingdoms and Zhuge Liang Biography are generally understood as ethnic minorities in the west and south of Yizhou. However, the concepts of "Zhurong" and "Yiyue" here are defined on the premise of "crossing Jing and benefiting", which should also include the ethnic minorities south of Jingzhou, that is, Jiaozhou, where many ethnic minorities live together. Only from the word analysis, the "Yue" in Nanfu Yiyue cannot refer to the ethnic minorities in Yizhou, and the most reasonable explanation refers to the ethnic minorities in Nanyue (Jiaozhou area).
Finally, it is the ideal national territory pursued by Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, and it is also the strategic basis for Shu Han to compete for the world in the north. The author believes that if Shu Han wants to ensure the stability of "crossing Jing and benefiting", it must consider the role of Jiaozhou in guarding Jing.
In the 20th year of Jian 'an (2 15), Wu and Shu tore up their alliance for the south county and exchanged fire. To Liu Bei's great disadvantage, Cao Caobing entered Hanzhong, and Zhang Lu, the leader of Hanzhong local government, surrendered to Cao. Yizhou was seriously threatened, and the northern line of Shuhan was in an emergency. In order to avoid the passive situation of fighting at both ends, Liu Bei had to settle for the second best and renegotiate with Sun Wu to divide Jingzhou. Since then, only Nanjun, Lingling and Wuling in Jingzhou have been completely occupied by Liu Bei, while Changsha and Guiyang, which were originally Liu Bei's counties, were divided by Sun Wu. At this time, Sun Wu has firmly controlled Jiaozhou, and Changsha County borders Yangzhou and Guiyang County in the east and Jiaozhou in the south. Such an investigation shows that this is not just a question of Wu's territorial expansion. Sun Wu's strength in Dongwu and the south, coupled with the hostility of Cao Cao in the north, has formed a powerful encirclement of Shu Han in Jingzhou.
It is an indisputable fact that the steep mountains and rivers between Jing and Yi have seriously affected the mobile reinforcement ability of the Shu army. Many scholars often regard it as one of the main objective reasons for Guan Yu's loss of Jingzhou. However, the author believes that it is difficult to preserve the territory of Jingzhou in Shu and Han dynasties only from the state of being surrounded on three sides at that time.
The author believes that before this unfavorable situation appeared, Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang could not be unsure of Jiaozhou's strategic position, and this hidden danger should also be estimated. Then, why didn't they attack Jiaozhou immediately after Battle of Red Cliffs? The reason is not complicated, mainly because Liu Bei just had his own foothold, serenaded himself, and even did not completely get rid of the situation of putting his grandson under the fence. If you go south, you have no chance of winning, but you are in danger of being attacked by Sun Quan from the rear.
Later, after all, neither Liu Bei nor Zhuge Liang wanted to occupy Jiaozhou. After the establishment of the Shu-Han regime, Liu Bei took Fang Deng as the viceroy, whose jurisdiction was in the southeast frontier of Yizhou, adjacent to Sun Wu. It is speculated that Liu Bei's intention is to appease the local ethnic minorities, but also to guard against the Ukrainian forces in Jiaozhou and enter Jiaozhou at a certain time. After Fontaine's death, Li Hui succeeded to the throne, and Liu Bei led the secretariat of state affairs with his "envoy" (The History of the Three Kingdoms, volume 43, Li Huichuan). The "leading the secretariat of JIAOZHOU" here is not really a secretariat of JIAOZHOU, but a "remote leader".
"Remote collar" is a unique administrative system in the history of China, especially in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. In fact, it is to set up prefectures and counties in the territory that other countries have not yet incorporated into the territory, and appoint secretariat, state shepherd or satrap to govern their own territory. In wartime, the purpose of doing so is to show strategic contempt for the enemy; Second, let someone lead a state remotely before the war, and promise that if he wins the land after the war, he will change from remote leadership to real seal, so as to stimulate his fighting enthusiasm. The most representative example is that in 229, Shu and Wu made an alliance again, vowing to jointly attack Cao Wei, and signed an agreement in advance to divide the territory of Cao Wei equally: "Yu, Qing and Xu, you belong to Wu, Yan, Ji, He and Liang belong to Shu. The state is bounded by Hanguguan (The History of the Three Kingdoms, Volume 47, Biography of Master Wu), and each state appoints its own "state shepherd" on the envisaged site.
Although "remote command of the state secretariat" has no great practical significance, it is only a psychological comfort to Liu Bei, but it shows that Liu Bei's mentality of coveting the state is very clear.
3 Sun Quan's management of Jiaozhou
According to Sun Quan's original intention, it is necessary to take Yizhou first. As soon as Battle of Red Cliffs was over, Zhou Yu suggested to Sun Quan that Cao Cao had just suffered a heavy defeat here and returned to Yecheng, where he was attacked by his political enemies. He is scrambling to deal with internal contradictions, and I'm afraid it's impossible to make a comeback for a while. Therefore, I ask General Sun Yu to take this opportunity to seize Shu and then destroy Zhang Lu. Hanzhong will contact Ma Chao of Liangzhou as foreign aid. When the time comes, we will attack Cao Cao from the north and south, and it will be just around the corner to win the north.
Zhou Yu's plan is actually just a reprint of Longzhong Dui, which is similar. From this point of view, it is not just the ambition of Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang to "cross the Jing and benefit". Sun Quan accepted Zhou Yu's suggestion and secretly took Shu alone. Unexpectedly, Zhou Yu died of illness in Baqiu. Later, Sun Quan advised Liu Bei to go west together. In order to protect his own safety and occupy Yizhou alone, Liu Bei obeyed Yin Guan's plan. On the one hand, he agreed to Sun Quan's proposal, on the other hand, he refused to say that the situation in his newly occupied territory was unstable and he could not make a move. After careful consideration, Sun Quan found that it was too risky to go west alone, and his retreat might be blocked by Liu Bei.
In contrast, it is more feasible to attack Jiaozhou from the south. First, Liu Bei has gained a firm foothold by relying on Sun Wu's influence, and it is impossible to be embarrassed with Sun Quan everywhere; Second, Wuling, Changsha, Lingling and Guiyang all belonged to Liu Bei at this time. Even if Sun Quan was blocked by Liu Bei when he entered Lingling and Guiyang from the south, Sun Quan could mobilize troops from Lingling and other counties to escort his troops from the east. What's more, Sun Quan can March south of Yangzhou, reducing the chance of friction with Liu Bei.
In the fifteenth year of Jian 'an (2 10), Sun Quan took advantage of Cao Cao's new defeat and sent Bu Zhinan to levy. Wu Jun is under great pressure, and all the chiefs in Jiaozhou bow to their knees. Only Wu Ju, the satrap of Cangwu, who was planted by Liu Biao, died because of "infidelity and infidelity" and was framed by oracles (The History of the Three Kingdoms, Volume 52, Biography of Oracle Inscriptions). Wu Ju doesn't want to be controlled by Wu, and some contradictory behaviors are inevitable. However, Wu Fang failed to point out what his "infidelity" was, so he cut it off quickly, which seems to be hiding something.
The author thinks that Bu Zhi's plan is twofold: First, because Wu Ju and Liu Bei are old friends and have a very harmonious relationship, before Battle of Red Cliffs, Liu Bei repeatedly said that he would invest in Wu Ju in the south. After Liu Bei plundered Guiyang, which is adjacent to Cangwu, it was impossible not to communicate with Wu Ju. In this regard, Wu Fang cannot be without worries. Cutting off Wu Ju is equivalent to cutting off Liu Bei's tentacles into Jiaozhou. Second, it is still a stopgap measure for the chiefs of Jiaozhou to surrender. When Bu Zhi killed Wu Ju, he made an example to show that Wu Fang had enough strength and firm determination to control Jiaozhou. Facts have proved that Bu Zhi's move has achieved remarkable results. Shi Xie saw that Cao Cao's remote control could not solve the urgent need, so have it both ways abandoned Cao Cao and voted for Wu.
"The guest of southern soil (Jiaozhou) begins from now on" (The History of the Three Kingdoms, Volume 52, Oracle Biography), that is, Jiaozhou area has always been a guest of Jiaozhou, but there seems to be a lot of information worth discussing behind it. In fact, Bu Zhi's southbound journey "only led a thousand soldiers to shoot officials", and Zhu's record was even less, with only 400 people. It's not that Sun Quan and Bu Zhi don't want to eradicate the local forces of the Shi family, but that there is Cao Cao in the north and Liu Bei in the west. The situation is not easy, and it is inconvenient to take out a large number of troops, so we can only imprison and rule Jiaozhou.
But this ruling state is not static, but gradually strengthened. In the twenty-fourth year of Jian 'an, the battle of Xiangfan broke out, and Monroe "crossed the river in white" and captured Guan Yu alive, eventually taking Liu Bei's Jingzhou territory into his pocket. At the same time, Sun Quan quickly adjusted his strategy in order to change communication into a state of direct control. At this time, Shi Xie also saw the situation clearly, further improved the relationship with Sun Quan, and took the initiative to send his son to Sun Wu's capital as a proton. In order to ensure his own interests, Shi Xie attached great importance to Sun Quan, not only paying tribute and offering rare treasures every year, but also "inducing Yizhou to be named Lv Yong" in view of Sun Quan's desire for Yizhou. , and the rate of the county people to make it far out of the East "("reflection "volume 49" Shi Xie Chuan "). So before Shi Xie died, the relationship between them was still relatively harmonious. But it can also be said that Shi Xie has basically surrendered to Sun Wu and became Sun Quan's foreign minister. Of course, this is only one step away from Jiaozhou's official entry into Wu Shang.
In AD 22 1 year, Cao Pi awarded Sun Quan the title of "General's envoy to supervise the state" and presented him with "Nine Tin", among which "Zhuhu" and "Tin" were specially awarded because of Sun Quan's contribution to "Huairou Baiyue (a minority in Jiaozhou)" (The History of the Three Kingdoms, Volume 47, Biography of Wu Zhu). In 229, Shu and Wu formed an alliance again. In order to ease the tension between the two countries, Zhuge Liang "returned the state of diplomatic relations to Wu and solved the problem of secretariat" (volume 43 of the History of the Three Kingdoms, biography). Although all the above are diplomatic means, it can also show that Wei and Shu recognized Wu's ownership of Jiaozhou to a certain extent. In addition, the war in this period mainly occurred between Wei and Shu, so Sun Wu could deploy enough troops to run Jiaozhou.
Therefore, Sun Wu took advantage of Shi Xie's death to make a new strategic adjustment to Jiaozhou. Sun Quan and Wu Jun Commander-in-Chief Lv Dai made a very careful plan to ensure the victory of the war.
First, weaken the strength of the stone. Shi Xie's son, Shi Hui, was appointed as General Anyuan by Cao Cao as the prefect of Jiuzhen County at the southern tip of Jiaozhou, and sent his confidant Chen Shi to take Shi Xie's place. Compared with straddle toe, Jiuzhen is remote and has a small population. Sun Quan's intention surfaced, obviously to eliminate the traditional influence of scholars in Jiaozhou area and make Jiaozhou become a state directly under the central government from Jimi.
Second, the divided states are Jiaozhou and Guangzhou. Take Nanhai, Cangwu, Yulin and Hepu in the north as Guangzhou, and General Dai Liang as the secretariat. Established Jiaozhou in Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen and south of Rinan, and appointed Lv Dai as the secretariat. Doing so can not only play a leading role, but also boost morale. Moreover, the four armies of Nanhai, Cangwu, Yulin and Hepu, which are close to the mainland of Wu, have a deep maturity and can be used as bases for attacking Jiaodian, Jiuzhen and Rinan counties occupied by the stone family. However, this is only a stopgap measure during the war. The warring States abolished Guangzhou and restored the original administrative system.
However, the scholar badge is not a fuel-efficient lamp. He appointed himself the cross-toed satrap and sent clan forces to attack Dai Liang. In Jiaozhou, the Shi family is "attached to a country because of its eternal favor" (The History of the Three Kingdoms, Volume 60, Biography of Lv Dai), that is to say, the influence of the Shi family is deeply rooted and cannot be underestimated. While Sun Wu is fighting a war to usurp power and occupy the magpie's nest, we must cut the gordian knot and leave no future trouble for Shi Hui and his gang, otherwise, once it turns into a protracted war, the gains and losses will be incalculable.
Lv Dai, commander-in-chief of Wu Jun, saw this clearly. When formulating the strategic policy, he said: Although Shi Hui is ready to confront us now, it is impossible to expect us to come suddenly. If we can go into battle lightly and sneak into enemy positions quickly, we will surely defeat the enemy by surprise. Otherwise, "the seven counties are full of people, and the cloud responds. Although there are wise men, who can figure it out? " (The History of the Three Kingdoms, Volume 60, Biography of Lv Dai)
As a result, as expected by Lv Dai, Shi Hui was in a state of panic and panic in the face of the Lv Dai army "falling from the sky". Finally, in order to survive, he had to lead six brothers, with bare back and bare chest, to offer a humble apology to Lv Dai.
After stabilizing the Shi brothers, I finally found an opportunity, set a trap and killed them. Pei Songzhi quoted Sun Sheng's words to express his opposition to Lv Dai's breaking his promise and killing six demoted brothers. It is believed that "(Shi) Hui brothers were naked and entrusted by their hearts, so Adai died because of it, so as to make use of it" (quoted in Shi Jiezhuan, Volume 49 of the History of the Three Kingdoms), and therefore accused Sun Quan of being short-sighted and treacherous. The author thinks that Sun Sheng and Pei Songzhi accused politics and military affairs with benevolence and righteousness, and did not understand Sun Wu's strategic intention, so what they said was naturally biased. In order to expand the strategic rear, Sun Quan urgently needs to change Jiaozhou from a prison area to a municipality directly under the central government, and it is out of date to continue to appease Jiaozhou. Based on this strategy, it is natural to cut off the indigenous scholars, otherwise it will be difficult to ensure the safety of Sun Wu's rule in Jiaozhou.
Later, Sun Quan's measures to deal with other scholars' surnames further proved this point. Shi Xie's younger brother Shi Yi, Shi Yi and Shi Yi's son did not take part in the rebellion directly, so Sun Quan pardoned them. But before long, the three of them, together with Shi Xie, worked as a proton taxi in Sun Wudu's capital, all of which were abolished as Shu Ren. A few years later, Shi Yi and Shi Huang were also killed by Sun Quan for an excuse.
Lv Dai handled it properly and won a great victory, catering to Sun Quan's political ambition, and Jiaozhou was formally incorporated into Sun Wu's territory. Sun Quan rewarded Lv Dai and made him the general of Zhennan, stationed in Jiaozhou.
After Sun Quan's influence penetrated into Jiaozhou, Jingzhou and Jiaozhou became an organic whole, which greatly extended Sun Wu's western border defense and threatened Yizhou on the whole. Moreover, Sun Quan also used Guan Yu's loss of Jingzhou, which dealt an unprecedented blow to Shu Han. He deliberately made Liu Zhang's son Liu Chan lead Yizhou secretariat and placed him at the junction of Jiaozhou and Yizhou, so as to seduce Liu Zhang's old men and provoke contradictions among factions within Shu Han's regime.
As mentioned earlier, Sun Quan colluded with Shi Xie to induce Lv Yong, an aristocrat in Yizhou, to rebel against Shu Han. Leading Sun Quan eastward and demoting the satrap Zhang to Soochow had a bad influence on the situation in the southeast of Yizhou. After Liu Bei's death, Zhu Bao, the satrap of Xi 'an, and Gao Ding, the king of Yue, rebelled one after another. Zhu Bao also colluded with Lv Yong, which really caused considerable pressure and panic to the Shu-Han regime in troubled times, and the whole South Yizhou could not be saved.
Zhuge Liang sized up the situation. On the one hand, he sent the eloquent Deng Zhi to Wu Dong to make peace with Sun Quan. On the one hand, he led the army south and put down the unrest in the south in time. However, the threat of Jingzhou and Jiaozhou to Shu Han cannot be taken lightly after all. Before the demise of Shu Han, there were three main frontier defense sites: Jiangwei in Hanzhong, Luoxian in Badong and Huoyi in South China. Badong is at the junction of Jingzhou and Yizhou, while South China connects Jiaozhou and Yizhou. Two of the three places are aimed at Sun Wu.
After the defeat of Shu, Wargo was bewitched by Zhong Hui and became suspicious of Wargo, so he quickly returned to Luoyang. But Wargo didn't understand that he was still very worried about Si Mazhao. He wrote many times: "Today, Shu is all about life, and Wuhui in the east should be settled as soon as possible." "Today, Wu is not a guest, and the situation is even with Shu. You can't stop and often collide with the plane" ("The History of the Three Kingdoms")
Undoubtedly, the central government not only expanded the territory of Wu, but also pushed the national strength of Wu to the peak. Since then, Sun Quan has taken the Pearl Cliff, defended his ears, attacked Yizhou, explored Yizhou, and joined forces with Gongsun Yuan. He is ambitious and wants to compete for the Central Plains.
