My Ji Han Dynasty was prosperous in martial arts, but I have always convinced people with virtue

Chapter 46 Submission
Since Dong Zhuo entered Luo, the world has been in chaos, and Jiaozhou has been in a delicate balance range.

Its internal forces check and balance each other, and its overall strength is not enough to compete for balance in the world.

Troubled times have an end after all.

Three-thirds of the world has emerged, with Cao, Sun and Liu standing in a tripod, and Jiaozhou is sandwiched between the Sun and Liu, and is extremely vulnerable to influence.

Not long ago, Sun Quan sent envoys to Jiaozhou again. Unlike the last time Buzhi entered Jiaozhou to show off his force, Sun Quan gave considerable benefits.

The spokesperson of the Kingdom of Shu in Jiaozhou is Wu Ju, the prefect of Cangwu, which is not enough to convince the whole Jiaozhou.

Now that Sun Quan is here again, the local forces in Jiaozhou are still very excited.

However, the local forces in Jiaozhou are still cautious after all. It is good that Sun Quan can give considerable benefits, but the southern four counties of Jingzhou are now under the jurisdiction of the State of Shu, and the army of the State of Shu can enter Jiaozhou more conveniently.

In addition, the local forces in Jiaozhou heard that all the barbarian kings in Nanzhong surrendered to Shu, and more than a million people joined them. They were worried that it would affect Jiaozhou, so they sent people to investigate.

The people who came were Shi Xie's family, Shi Xie's younger brother Shi Yi.

Shi Yiben thought that even if the Nanman people surrendered, there should not be much change in a short period of time.

But the development of the situation was beyond his imagination.

The Kingdom of Shu invested a lot of resources in the Nanzhong area.

After Shi Yi saw Fenghai City, the first city under construction in the Kingdom of Shu in Fenghai County, he was very surprised.

Shu sent officials, craftsmen and soldiers to build the city, and a lot of fields were developed around it, and there was even a seaport under construction on the coast.

What is even more rare is that the Nanman people and the Han people lived in harmony without disputes.

Surprised in his heart, Shi Yi continued westward and met the prince of Shu in Guangnan County.

Liu Chan took Shi Yi to visit the whole of Guangnan County, not hiding anything.

Especially when Shi Yi saw the Garden of Harvest and the South China Sea Dock, his heart was unparalleled.

Liu Chan looked at the shocked Shi Yi, first pointed to Harvest Garden, and said.

"This is what the ancestors left. Based on this, within three years, hundreds of thousands of acres of land can be opened up. After ten years, the grain produced by just one county in Guangnan County can supply [-] troops for the northern expedition."

Then, Liu Chan pointed to a small sea boat just built by the Heixian tribe and said.

"This sea-going ship can carry a large amount of cargo across the ocean. Jiaozhou and Yizhou are originally separated by mountains. With this sea-going ship, travel is cheap."

Shi Yi had a deep understanding of the meaning of Liu Chan's words.

Jiaozhou and other states are isolated from each other because of the terrain.

But now with this kind of sea-going ship, Nanzhong can reach Jiaozhou, even Yangzhou, Xuzhou and even Youzhou.

Now this ship is loaded with cargo, but what if it is loaded with soldiers?

Fear arose in Shi Yi's heart, and he felt a huge threat.

Liu Chan didn't seem to notice it, and after the routine reception, he asked the accompanying officials to continue to greet Shi Yi.

On the banquet, Shi Yi saw a lot of local specialties and seafood in Nanzhong.

These corals, pearls, and even sea animal oil are very rare in Jiaozhou, but at a banquet in a newly developed Nanzhou area, they seemed to be free of money, and they were everywhere.

Shi Yi was in Guangnan County, where he was entertained for a month with good food and drink, and then sat on a sea boat presented by Liu Chan, carrying a full load of goods, and returned to Jiaozhi County contentedly.

As soon as Shi Yi returned to Jiaozhi, Shi Xie approached him and asked about the situation.

"Brother, between Wu and Shu, Angelica will return to Shu."

Shi Xie originally wanted to ask his younger brother to investigate the situation, but the other party went to Nanzhong once, and the change was greater than Shi Xie's imagination.

Shi Xie always knew that his younger brother was cautious, to put it in a bad way, he was a little timid.He has changed so much now, Shi Xie is very curious.

"Why?"

"The land of Nanzhong is not a barbaric land. It is God's help that the Kingdom of Shu has won it. Moreover, the situation has been divided between the grandson and Liu. Lu Meng attacked Jiangxia and did not move close. He was afraid and did not retreat. He is not a real man! The king of Shu is a wise minister, and there is also a prince Liu Chan, who is so heroic. My family will return to it, and it will be great!"

After listening to his younger brother's words, Shi Xie felt a little moved.

The situation is stronger than the people, Shu has occupied the six counties of Jingzhou, how many people can Soochow send?
But the problem is that Shi Xie is not ranked among Liu Bei!
Wu Ju, the prefect of Cangwu, is an old acquaintance of Liu Bei, and he is his spokesperson in Jiaozhou.

Shi Xie voted to Shu now, after all, after Wu Ju, will he be reused?

Shi Yi picked up many good goods from Nanzhong, and moved them to Shi Xie.

The other party saw it and was also very shocked.

"Brother, the Kingdom of Shu is currently developing Nanzhong, but going to Nanzhong from Bashu is not as convenient as going to Nanzhong from our place. If we join, we can gain great benefits. Shu is preparing for the Northern Expedition at this time, and with our help, we should be happy to see it succeed. On the Chengdu side, let's send envoys first to test Liu Bei's intentions."

Shi Xie followed Shi Yi's suggestion and sent envoys to Chengdu.

Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard about it, and immediately rewarded Shi Xie with a lot of property, and transferred Wu Ju back to Chengdu for Shi Xie's peace of mind.

Seeing this, Shi Xie no longer hesitated, and his family belonged to the Kingdom of Shu.

In the winter of the 19th year of Jian'an, Jiaozhou was officially included in the territory of Shu.

Shi Xie was granted the title of General Zuo and transferred to be the prefect of Changsha.

A large number of children of the gentry in Jiaozhou also entered the Shu Kingdom, especially the three counties of Nanzhong and participated in the construction.

Jianye.

After receiving the news that Jiaozhou was attached to the Kingdom of Shu, Sun Quan was already very upset.

Even the good news that Lu Meng and Gan Ning took advantage of Cao Wei's unpreparedness to attack Lujiang County, captured Wancheng, and captured tens of thousands of people was not enough to dilute this unhappiness.

Watching Liu Bei take advantage is even more uncomfortable than seeing him suffer.

What made Sun Quan even more upset was his cheap nephew, Liu Chan.

This kid is young, but he is good at doing business. He has supported many big business groups around him, and his business is booming.

Shu brocade in central Sichuan, ivory, coral, and pearls in southern China, these precious items were sold all over the world.

Especially Shu brocade, which is hard currency, linked to gold, can be used as currency.

Of course, if that's all, Sun Quan doesn't care.

But that kid actually started a gambling stall business, and the gambling was quite special.

Liu Chan supported the handicap, betting whether he can win Hefei?
The direction that Soochow can expand is Jingzhou, Huainan, and Jiaozhou.

Sun Quan used a strategy of attacking east and west, occupying Cao Wei's Wancheng, and Jiangxia City was naturally unable to fight.

Jiaozhou voted for the Kingdom of Shu, and the only direction he can go is Hefei, which is guarded by Zhang Liao.

After capturing Wancheng, anyone could see Sun Quan's next intentions.

Taking advantage of Cao Wei's main force in the Guanzhong area, he quickly captured Hefei.

"One hundred for one?"

After Sun Quan heard the odds set by his cheap nephew, he couldn't believe it, and even repeated it again.

"One hundred for one!"

Sun Quan experienced a brief moment of astonishment, and burst out laughing.

"Since my nephew wants to play, Gu will pay [-] yuan to play with him."

Then, Sun Quan glanced at the Eastern Wu generals.

"Do you all know how to play?"

"Don't worry, my lord. To show our determination, we have already invested all our wealth in it. When the time comes, we are afraid that Liu Chan's son will not be able to pay for it, so we must be ashamed of Wenpin."

In the court hall, there was a burst of laughter and harmony.
