The first part talked about the family background of Huang Zuniu's failure, the extreme prosperity of father and son being too conservative, and the lack of pattern exposed by killing You Heng. Next, we will continue to talk about the internal and external troubles of Liu Biao's infiltration and the continuous intrusion of the Sun family outside, how can Huang Zu stand in the nineteenth year of Jiangxia, just like Yan Laoxi in Shanxi.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="2" > Sun Ce to recruit Huang Zu</h1>
Like his father Sun Jian, Sun Ce was a rare military wizard in history, and the army he led always showed indestructible combat effectiveness.
(Indestructible Sun Ce)
In 209, Sun Ce captured Liu Xun's Lujiang Commandery (庐江郡) with a strategy of moving the tiger away from the mountains. Liu Xun fled to the territory of his ally Huang Zu and built fortifications to resist, and Huang Zu also sent his son Huang Zhi to lead 5,000 water troops to rescue him. Sun Ce defeated Liu Xun and Huang Jie together, and took advantage of the victory to attack Huang Zu's ruling post, Shaxian (present-day Jinkou, Jiangxia District, Wuhan).
Liu Biao wanted to infiltrate his own forces into Jiangxia, which was not an infighting on the surface, and Sun Ce attacked Jiangxia, which was a common foreign enemy that must be solved first, so he sent his nephew Liu Hu and the general Han Xi of Nanyang to Shaxian to rescue Huang Zu.
So the famous Battle of Sha Xian broke out, Sun Ce took advantage of the wind direction, the upper wind set fire, smoke Huang Zujun could not open his eyes, the fire through the wind to devour Huang Zu's super fleet. Huang Zu was defeated and escaped alone, seven of his wife and daughter-in-law's men and women's families fell into the hands of Sun Ce, more than 20,000 people below Liu Hu and Han Xi were killed in battle, tens of thousands of drowned people in the water, and Sun Ce captured more than 6,000 ships.
(Huang Zu suffered heavy losses in the Battle of ShaXian)
In this battle, Sun Ce brought out almost all of his belongings, the Eastern Wu all-star lineup participated in the battle, and Zhou Yu's inspiration for the Chibi Fire Attack later may be inspired by this!
Huang Zu should have the most powerful water army in the country at that time, and the strength of the army was probably above Liu Biao. Sun Ce believes that Huang Zu is very "cunning" and is Liu Biao's main minion, and now that he has defeated Huang Zu, Liu Biao is a matter of hand to hand. In his eyes, it was more difficult to beat Huang Zu than to beat Liu Biao.
To tell the truth, it was normal for Huang Zu to be fought by Sun Ce in such a battle until liberation, and with Sun Ce's military talent, it was very normal for Cao Cao to be beaten like this by him. According to Sun Ce's domineering spirit of pursuing Liu Xun and attacking Huang Zu by taking advantage of the victory, he should now take advantage of the victory to attack Liu Biao, but the record of Sun Ce's crusade against Huang Zu in the Book of Wu suddenly stopped, and there was no explanation, only to know that Sun Ce finally did not occupy an inch of land in Jiangxia and withdrew to Jiangdong.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="23" > Who won Sun Ce and Huang Zu? </h1>
This is a supernatural event, the withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan needs a reason, is It that Sun Ce suddenly found out in his conscience? It must have happened later that made Sun Ce have to leave Jiangxia as quickly as the US military, but the Book of Wu refused to report truthfully like the BBC.
The U.S. military once beat the Taliban very badly, so although it was finally withdrawn from Kabul, the U.S. military was the final victor in the Afghan war? Even Americans dare not say that. In the same way, can Sun Ce, who withdrew from Jiangxia, be said to be the victor of such a war? The final winner was precisely Huang Zu, who had been beaten very badly in the early stage.
(To repel the invaders is to win)
However, in this battle, Huang Zu was indeed seriously injured by Sun Ce's beating, and he was able to drive away Sun Ce in the end, absolutely inseparable from Liu Biao's strong support. Huang Zu is still alive, the prestige in Jiangxia is still there, and Sun Ce is really too powerful, and he still needs Huang Zu to shield himself from arrows in Jiangxia, although the strength of Huang Zu is not as good as before, but he still has to continue to support him as Jiangxia Taishou, and Liu Biao of course has more penetration and influence on Jiangxia.
In exchange for benefits, or in return, Huang Zu probably handed over Zhangling County to Liu Biao at this time, and Liu Biao successively appointed such big figures as Cai Mao and Ku Yue as Zhang Ling Taishou and vigorously "de-Huang Zuhua".
Liu Biao owned the three counties of Nan County, Nanyang, and Zhangling, while Huang Zu only had Jiangxia County left, and his strength was not as good as before, and it would take time to recover.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="16" > Sun Quan's first crusade against Huang Zu</h1>
Four years later, in 203, Sun Ce's successor, Sun Quan, gained a foothold in Jiangdong, and with Zhou Yu and Lu Su established a strategic direction for first unifying the south of the Yangtze River, and also launched a war against the first target, Huang Zu.
As for some people who say that Sun Ce and Sun Quan attacked Huang Zu successively, they were revenge for Huang Zu's shooting of Sun Jian, and this pattern is small. Sun Jian died on the battlefield, and the shroud of the soldier Ma Ge is glory, does this need revenge? The two armies fought each other as their own masters, and Sun Jian was still the invading side, so the Sun brothers fought Huang Zu, and they were not even embarrassed to use this as an excuse. In the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the two families wrote that Liu Biao Huangzu stopped and killed Sun Jian who returned home, which was artistic processing.
(Huang Zu's water army was already weaker than Eastern Wu))
Sun Quan's battle was a more luxurious lineup than the last time Sun Ce, and Huang Zu's strength was no longer as good as it was then. Sun Jun defeated Huang Zu's water army, but could not defeat Huang Zu's new rule, Xiakou City, and the general Ling Cao was shot by Gan Ning during the battle.
However, this time it was good, and the reason for Sun Quan's withdrawal was explained, and a large-scale rebellion occurred in Jiangdong.
Sun Quan could not defeat Huang Zu's Xiakou City and retreated. Can the victor of this war be said to be Sun Quan? After repelling the invading Sun Quan, does Huang Zu have the right to say that he is the victor? The Three Kingdoms BBC "Book of Wu" is again very ambiguous, detailing the content of the Sun family's victory in the battle, while using a hades filter, or even not reporting the true situation of Huang Zufang at all.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="25" > Huang Zu and Su Fei argued for power</h1>
Under Liu Biao, Wen Ping, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan and other Nanyang people were suppressed by the Xiangyang clique and could not be reused, and it was reasonable for the foreigners Gan Ning to feel that the future was uncertain. Gan Ning took the brothers who rebelled in Yizhou to prepare to go to Jiangdong to surrender to Sun Quan, but he could not pass Huang Zu's Xiakou, so he voted for Huang Zu, and Huang Zu's need to restore strength was of course welcome.
(Factional struggle victim Ganning)
After Huang Zu's water army was defeated, Gan Ning shot Ling Cao, and Sun Jun stopped chasing him, saving Huang Zu's life. However, Huang Zu reused Gan Ning for this reason, so that Gan Ning wanted to leave Sun Quan again.
Su Fei, the governor of Jiangxia, saw Gan Ning's thoughts and invited him to drink, and the words he said revealed the reason why Huang Zu refused to reuse Gan Ning.
It turned out that Su Fei had recommended Gan Ning to Huang Zu many times, and Huang Zu was unwilling to reuse it, and even lured Gan Ning's men. Huang Zu and Gan Ning had no vendetta or complaint, so why did they do this to him? Could it be that Ganning's men were all more powerful than him? The problem lies precisely in the fact that Gan Ning is the person recommended by Su Fei.
Su Fei was a native of Yiyang, Nanyang County, and after Huang Zu was severely injured by Sun Ce, Liu Biao placed Su Fei in Jiangxia as the governor of Jiangxia. This governor was equivalent to the commander of the military region, the second in command of Jiangxia, not permanent, and Liu Biao was specially set up for the military power of Huang Zu. As the number one military and political leader, Huang Zu naturally will not be happy, you Su Fei recommended Gan Ning, indicating that Gan Ning is your person, I reuse your people to divide my military power, is not self-destruction of the Great Wall? You Gan Ning just have a great ability, I don't dare to use it!
(Huang Zusu Fei fights for power)
I don't know if Su Fei really has the grace of knowing Gan Ning, but Su Fei has a great contradiction with Huang Zu at a glance. As soon as he opened his mouth, he first provoked the relationship between Gan Ning and Huang Zu, and then let Gan Ning go.
Huang Zu's forcing Gan Ning to take away would make him lose the hearts of the people in Jiangxia, and su Fei's influence would become greater. But Su Fei's investment in Gan Ning was definitely worth the money, and later Gan Ning felt that his kindness had died in front of Sun Quan and saved his life.
Su Fei gave Gan Ning advice, and he first recommended Gan Ning to Huang Zu as the governor of Huang (邾, in present-day northwest of Huanggang, Hubei), that is, the county order, and then asked Gan Ning to make a decision on the issue of going to stay.
The county order was not an army formation, no longer under the control of Su Fei, and was within the scope of Huang Zu's management, so Huang Zu agreed. Later, Gan Ning recalled some of his original subordinates and re-gathered hundreds of people to defect to Sun Quan, which played an important role in the later elimination of Huang Zu's forces.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="35" > written on the back</h1>
After Sun Ce attacked Huang Zu, Huang Zu suffered heavy losses and lost Zhangling County, and his strength and influence in Jiangxia were not as good as before. Liu Biao installed Su Fei to Jiangxia to divide Huang Zu's military power, causing political internal friction between factions in Jiangxia, and Gan Ning, the victim of factional strife, was pushed toward the enemy, and internal friction breeded serious corruption and dissatisfaction in Jiangxia.
However, the hundred-footed insect died but did not stiffen, and Huang Zu still had the strength to thwart Sun Quan's two attacks, and even took the initiative to send troops to counterattack Jiangdong. However, quantitative changes accumulate to qualitative changes, and the Huangzu forces that are downhill will eventually go to extinction.
Longer, the next part will continue, so stay tuned!
