Soldiers come to the world

Liu Jing couldn't help but startled, unexpectedly someone wanted to see him in Jiangling City, he couldn't think of who it would be for a while?

"Bring him up!"

Not long after, several soldiers brought up a scribe in his thirties. Under the firelight, Liu Jing recognized him at a glance. It turned out to be Fazheng, whom he met once in Xiangyang last year. Liu Jing was a little surprised. How could Fazheng be in Jiangling?

Fazheng stepped forward with a smile and saluted, "I just thought, how could the warship on the river be Jiangdong army? It should be Jiangxia's navy army, and I guessed it right."

Liu Jing thought about it, and he suddenly guessed why Fazheng appeared in Jiangling. It must be Liu Zhang who sent him to investigate the situation in Jingzhou. The Battle of Chibi changed the interests of all parties. It would be strange if Liu Zhang turned a blind eye. [

Thinking of this, Liu Jing asked quietly, "Brother Xiaozhi, how did you think that it was not the Jiangdong army, but the Jiangxia army?"

"If Jiangdong warships appear on the river west of Chaisang, there is only one possibility, that is, the Chibi War has not yet ended. Now that the Chibi War has ended for several months, how can Jiangdong Army's warships appear on the river in Jiangling? I think Liu Zhoumu will not let wolves into the house for a so-called covenant."

Liu Jing secretly admired his insight, Fazheng saw the current situation very accurately, but Liu Jing wanted to know whether this judgment on the situation in Jingzhou was Fazheng's personal opinion, or the official interpretation of Yizhou as a whole.

Liu Jing smiled and said: "This is not a place to talk, can Xiaozhi come to the city with me to talk?"

Fazheng bowed slightly and saluted, "I would like to have a talk with Zhou Mu."

. . . . . . . .

Liu Jing did not enter the city again. He ordered Li Yan, the new governor of Nanjun, and Chen Shuo, the school captain, to control Jiangling, and asked Sima Yi to assist them. He returned to his boat with Fazheng.

In the cabin, Liu Jing invited Fazheng to sit down and ordered the sergeant to serve tea. Liu Jing smiled and said, "Why did Xiaozhi come to Jiangling?"

Fazheng smiled faintly, "I didn't come to Jiangling specifically, but I went to Wuling to look for Uncle Liu Huang under the order of my lord. I was about to return to Yizhou, and happened to meet with Jiangling."

Liu Jing was even more puzzled. Liu Zhang had already had something to do with Liu Bei. This was unexpected. Of course Liu Jing knew that Liu Bei was going to seek Yizhou, but he didn't expect Liu Bei to move so quickly. Liu Zhang had already responded. .

But what Liu Jing didn't expect was that Fazheng told himself about this frankly. Does this mean that Fazheng has the intention to take refuge in himself?

But this matter should not be abrupt, Liu Jing took a sip of tea, and asked again: "Uncle Liu Huang is in a difficult situation now. He was originally the weakest one, but he was attacked by Cao Cao again, and nearly half of his troops were lost. In some remote places, the strength is even weaker, so for him, Yizhou is the last chance, is your master planning to hand over Yizhou?"

Fazheng sighed, shook his head again and said: "My lord's thoughts are elusive. On the one hand, he seems to understand the stakes and advocates uniting the weak against the strong, because he thinks that Liu Huangshu is not strong enough to annex the interests. On the other hand, he listened to the astrological words of the witches and believed that Liu Huangshu was his lucky star in Baoyi Prefecture."

Speaking of this, Fazheng's heart was full of frustration. Liu Zhang had let him down too much, not to mention that he listened to the witch's words in an absurd way on military and state affairs.

More importantly, Liu Zhang decided to unite with Liu Bei, and wanted to ask Liu Bei to guard the gates of Bashu for him.

Liu Jing laughed. Historically, Liu Zhang considered using Liu Bei as a barrier in Yizhou because he was afraid of the threat of Cao Cao, but the result was to lure wolves into the house. Now that Cao Cao has been defeated, could it be that Liu Zhang thought of fighting with him because he was afraid of himself? Does Liu Bei cooperate?

After thinking for a moment, Liu Jing asked, "I don't know where the cooperation between Liu Bei and Liu Zhang has reached?"

"It's just a preliminary contact now. It is estimated that Liu Bei will send people to Yizhou for further negotiations soon. However, this matter is very confidential, and not many people in Yizhou know about it."

Liu Jing walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, he suddenly turned around and asked with a smile, "Why did Xiaozhi tell me such a secret thing?"

"Liu Zhang is not the lord who guards the land, and sooner or later Yizhou will be a dish on other people's plates." Fazheng said calmly.

"Then why doesn't Xiaozhi consider Liu Bei? He belongs to the royal family of the Han Dynasty, and his benevolence and righteousness spread throughout the world. Even a three-year-old child knows his reputation. It seems that Xiaozhi is not interested in him. Why?"

Fazheng shook his head, smiled wryly and said, "Maybe I am a more down-to-earth person and don't pay much attention to these false names. Frankly speaking, Uncle Liu Huang can't take on the important task of unifying the world, let alone revive the Han Dynasty. What's the point?"

Speaking of this, Fazheng looked at Liu, "I am filial piety and I can see the number of people directly. I believe that with my own eyesight, the only one who can revive the Han Dynasty is the emperor's ear!"

Fazheng said his goodbyes and left. Liu stood in front of the boat and fell into deep thought. Of course he wanted to take Bashu, link Jingchu together, and then take Hanzhong and Guanzhong. If Jiangdong's threat is not resolved, he will have to worry about the future, and it will be difficult to seize Bashu, and if he does not make a wedding dress for Liu Bei, he must fully consider this matter.

At this time, Sima Yi's voice came from outside the door, "Is Zhou Mu looking for me?"

"Please come in!"

Sima Yi walked in, bowed and saluted, "See Zhou Mu!"

"You don't need to be too polite, join the army, please sit down!"

After Sima Yi sat down, Liu Xian asked, "How is the situation in Jiangling City?"

"There is a lot of food. Cao Jun couldn't transport it away for a while, and he didn't burn it. There are about [-] shi in storage, and there are a lot of military tents and other supplies, but the population is too small, and only about [-]% of the original is left. Now only military function."

Liu nodded, "The population of Jiangling followed Liu Bei, but I believe they will come back slowly. The key now is to control Jiangling and not give the south bank army any chance to go north, including Liu Bei and the future Jiangdong Army."

"This subordinate also means the same thing. Recapturing Jiangling City is the first step of victory. We will take our time in the future."

Liu invited Sima Yi here not to talk to him about Jiangling. Li Yan and Huo Jun are enough in Jiangling. Liu wanted to talk about Yizhou with Sima Yi. Who did you meet today?"

"This subordinate doesn't know!" Sima Yi shook his head.

"I met Fazheng, the envoy from Yizhou today. Do you know this person when you join the army?"

"I know, the name is Xiaozhi, and he is very famous in Guanzhong. I heard that he didn't do well in Bashu."

Liu laughed and said, "It's this person, but he didn't come here to send me here, but to Liu Bei's place."

Sima Yi was stunned, why did Liu Bei's envoy come to Jingzhou Mu?Could it be

Liu smiled and told Sima Yi about his conversation with Fazheng, and Sima Yi couldn't help laughing, "Congratulations to Zhou Mu for winning another talent!"

"We can't talk about it now, and he didn't express his allegiance to me. He just said that he would try his best to help me win Yizhou. I want to hear his thoughts on joining the army."

Sima Yi had also considered a strategy for taking Yizhou, and combined with Fazheng's words, he probably had a plan. [

"I think we can make a breakthrough from Liu Zhang's weakness. What he wants most and what he fears the most, as long as we hit the key point, we can hold Liu Zhang by the nose."

Liu smiled slightly, "Sima Canjun and I want to go together, I want to ask Canjun to be an envoy to Bashu for me."

Sima Yi immediately stood up and saluted: "This subordinate is willing to serve the state shepherd!"

Before Liu finished speaking, he stared at the dark river surface outside the cabin and said slowly: "You treat yourself as Zhang Yi envoy Chu, with only one purpose, to buy me time."

. . . . . . . .

At the same time that Jiangxia Army disguised itself as Jiangdong Army to cheat Jiangling City, Jiangdong General Cheng Pu also led more than [-] warships to Qichun County.

The section of the Yangtze River from Chaisang to Xiakou is jointly managed by Jiangxia County and Qichun County. The warships of the Jiangdong Army can sail freely on the side close to Qichun, but after passing Xiakou, they are Anlu County and Jiangxia County. The waters are the exclusive waters of Jiang Xia's army.

The warships of the Jiangdong Army could not go west again unless they got permission from the Jiangxia Army, but what Cheng Pu waited for was the flat refusal of the Jiangxia Army.

In the cabin, Cheng Pu listened to his eldest son Cheng Zi's report with a gloomy face. He had sent his eldest son to negotiate twice, but was rejected twice.

In particular, Gan Ning responded decisively. The warships of the Jiangdong Army could only sail on the side of Qichun County and could not enter the waters of Jingzhou, otherwise the safety of the warships would not be guaranteed.

"Reporting to father, the boy did not go to find Gan Ning this time, but to go to Xu Shu, the chief historian. Although Xu Shu's tone was very polite, the meaning was very clear. If we want to cross the border and travel westward, we must obtain Liu Zhoumu's permission."

Cheng Pu held back the anger in his heart, and asked coldly, "Have you asked where Liu is going?"

Cheng Zi lowered his head and said with some panic, "This is exactly what the child wants to report to his father. From Xu Shu's point of view, it seems that Liu led the navy to go west."

"what!"

Cheng Pu became impatient. If Liu led the army to march westward, it would either be Xiangyang or Nanjun. Could it be that Liu also heard some news and went to occupy Jiangling first?

Cheng Pu anxiously paced back and forth in the cabin, he couldn't be passive like this, he had to take action, otherwise he couldn't explain to Marquis Wu.

Thinking of this, Cheng Pu made up his mind, no matter what, his fleet must pass, but. . . .You can try it out first.
