Chapter 22
Sun Quan calmed down for a moment and continued to ask: "The Shanyue outbreak is not serious, if it is not serious, it can be suppressed with a small number of troops temporarily. "
Huang Gai sighed and said, "Wu Hou, you should know that this time of the year was the time when Shanyue was the most violent. "
When Sun Quan heard this, he clenched his fists tightly, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
There are priorities, although Chai Sang is important, it can't threaten the foundation of Jiangdong for a while, but if the Shanyue problem is not handled well, Sun Quan should burn his eyebrows.
So what exactly is Yamagoe?
The main groups in Shanyue are the remnants of Baiyue and the bandits and grass bandits, that is to say, they are a bit similar to the nature of the Yellow Turban Army.
It is estimated that there are at least a million people in Shanyue, who hide in the mountains, do not obey the government's management, and occasionally come out to plunder.
The looting of surrounding villages and the plundering of cities and state capitals have seriously threatened Sun Quan's rule.
When Sun Ce raised his army, the mountains were rampant, and at the beginning of Sun Quan's accession to the throne, the mountains were raging.
It can be said that now is the most serious time for the Shanyue problem, and Sun Quan cannot take it lightly no matter what.
"The issue of Shanyue cannot be delayed, let's gather troops first and suppress the riots in various places. "
Sun Quan looked very unwilling, and then said: "What should Chaisang do over there? If Liu Jue takes advantage of the Shanyue outbreak and raises troops to invade Jiangdong, what should we do?"
At this time, Zhang Zhao stood up and said: "Marquis Wu, it seems that there is only one way now, that is, to send an envoy to take the initiative to make peace with Liu Jue. "
Sun Quan clenched his fists and said, "Peace, isn't that the initiative to bow to Liu Jue?"
Zhang Zhao said: "Wu Hou, now is not the time to be rash, now only by appeasing Liu Jue can we concentrate on dealing with Shanyue, and the issue of Chaisang can be discussed later." "
Huang Gai also said: "What Lord Zibu said makes sense, you might as well make peace with Liu Jue first, and when we clean up Shanyue, it's not too late to recapture Chaisang." "
"Now it seems that there is only one way. Although Sun Quan was very unwilling, he could only agree to this method.
When the conquest of Shanyue is completed, you can extract the young and middle-aged among them and enrich them into the Jiangdong army, and you can get at least 10,000 or 20,000 troops, and then attack Chaisang, and the chance of victory will be greater.
"Liu Jue, let you be proud for a moment for the time being!" Sun Quan's blue eyes flashed with a hint of anger.
......
Not to talk about the affairs in Jiangdong, at this time, more than half a month has passed since Liu Jue captured Chaisang.
Liu Jue had already transferred Yi and Huo Jun to Chaisang according to his own ideas, and at the same time, they also brought 5,000 soldiers and horses to enrich the city defense of the four cities of Chaisang.
Xiakou is now safe, and Liu Jue has asked Ma Liang to manage the affairs there, and at the same time let Deng Long and Wei Yan train the navy day and night.
Xiling has not changed for the time being, with Xiang Lang, an experienced person, Liu Jue can put a hundred hearts.
As for the defense of Wuchang, Liu Jue handed it over to Su Fei to manage, this person still has some skills, otherwise he would not become Huang Zu's right-hand man.
Although there is no movement on the Jiangdong side now, but at this time, Chaisang has 13,000 troops, no matter what moves Sun Quan takes, Liu Jue has the confidence to deal with it easily.
As Chai Sang gradually settled down, Liu Jue also began to prepare for the future.
The first thing Liu Jue had to do, of course, was to summon the skilled old blacksmiths in Jiangxia and Chaisang to teach them the method of filling steel.
These old blacksmiths who have been beating iron for decades, after hearing the steel filling method, were all shocked on the spot, and almost wanted to offer Liu Jue as their grandfather.
In their eyes, this is simply an epoch-making technology, and as for the frying method, it can be thrown directly into the garbage.
In order to prevent the leakage of the steel filling method, Liu Jue deliberately found a piece of land and had dozens of wooden houses built, surrounded by a two-meter-high wall, as the residence of these blacksmiths.
Not only are there soldiers guarding around to prevent idle people from entering, Liu Jue also warned these blacksmiths that if anyone dares to leak a word, the whole family will not want to live.
The old blacksmiths were frightened and nodded like little chicks.
Don't blame Liu Jue for being ruthless, if the steel filling method falls into the hands of Cao Cao or Sun Quan, it can directly increase their strength several times, and then it should be Liu Jue who has a headache.
With the steel filling method, 100 steel is no longer a rarity, and a large number of sharp weapons can be cast.
In addition to the steel filling method, Liu Jue also spent 50,000 merit points to purchase the casting method of the Su Iron Knife in the system.
Su iron knife is a famous steel knife born in the Northern and Southern Dynasties after the emergence of the steel filling method.
Unlike all weapons made of iron or steel in this era, the Sutetsu Sword uses hard steel to create the blade and flexible wrought iron to create the back.
In this way, the iron knife is both rigid and soft, which not only saves expensive steel, but also makes the knife not easy to break when chopping.
According to records, the Su Iron Knife was very sharp, and it was able to cut through 30 pieces of iron armor with a single sword.
In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, it was simply an artifact-like existence.
After hearing the casting method of the iron sword, those blacksmiths all stayed in place one by one, and then their excited expressions almost felt like they could die at night.
These old blacksmiths had never imagined that weapons could be crafted in this way, which simply refreshed their understanding.
No way, this is a technology hundreds of years later, so it's no wonder that these old blacksmiths aren't shocked.
With the most core casting process, those blacksmiths immediately took action, hoping that tomorrow they would be able to create a Su Iron Knife.
Liu Jue looked at these old blacksmiths, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile.
When he has the Su Iron Knife, let alone Sun Quan of Jiangdong, even if Cao Cao goes south in the future, he will have the confidence to kill the other party and lose his armor.
