Soldiers come to the world

Outside Wuchang City, Xu Shu sent Lu Su to the boat. Xu Shu cupped his hands and said with a smile: "I hope Zijing will return soon after asking Marquis Wu for instructions. hour."

Lu Su only forced a smile, "I will do my best!"

"Zijing, take care!"

The boat left the wharf of Wuchang gradually. Lu Su stood at the bow of the boat, staring blankly at the torrential water of the Yangtze River. County pain?

But they have actually been occupied by the Jingzhou army. Apart from acknowledging the reality, is it possible for Jiangdong to win it back?

Lu Su couldn't stand the river wind blowing, he couldn't help but want to shout to vent his inner resentment

At the same moment when Lu Su left Wuchang and returned to Jiangdong, the situation in Bashu also experienced some subtle changes. Both the Dongzhou scholars and the local Bashu factions felt threats from the outside. This threat began when Cao Jun went south.

Liu Zhang panicked and sent Fazheng as an envoy to Cao Jun to test Cao Cao's purpose. Although Cao Cao was defeated in Chibi, Liu Zhang's uneasiness could not be dispelled. Liu Jing's strong rise made him feel very uneasy. There is an urgent need to build a fence on the east side.

At this time, Liu Bei expressed to him the wish of the two families to jointly deal with Liu Jing. Liu Bei's proposal was supported by the local faction in Bashu. [

However, Liu Zhang is not a very independent person. He is not firm enough, has a cowardly personality, and is easily influenced by others. These defects should not be the character of a monarch in any case, and this is also related to Liu Zhang's own experience.

In the fifth year of Zhongping, Liu Yan suggested to Emperor Han Ling to set up the governor of the prefecture to manage the military and political power in various regions, and he himself served as the governor of Yizhou. Stay and never return to North Korea.

In the "rebellion" of Li Cui a few years later, Liu Yan's eldest son and second son were killed, and Liu Yan also died of illness in resentment. Liu Zhang took over his father's post of Yizhou shepherd, and it has been 15 years.

Liu Zhang is nearly fifty years old, with a medium build. Years of fine clothes and good food have made him a little fat. His slender eyes are always twinkling suspiciously. Liu Zhang has no ambitions. His greatest expectation is to let him live again. 20 years of rich life, in this way, he is also satisfied with his life.

In the Chengdu prefectural office, Liu Zhang sat on a large couch inlaid with white jade and gold, squinting his eyes to listen to Zhang Song's report.

Zhang Song is a native of Chengdu and the leader of the Northern Sichuan faction among the three major local factions in Bashu. He knows very well that Liu Zhang is not the master of success. With the balance of power, seeing the era of Southern Hegemony approaching, Bashu has gradually lost its hold.

At this time, everyone had to choose their own seat. Zhang Song, as the leader of the Bashu faction, naturally rejected Liu Jing, the lord of Jingzhou. He had a good impression of Liu Bei and strongly supported Liu Bei's entry into Shu.

"I got the news that Liu Jing's army had succeeded in attacking Zigui County. Obviously, Liu Jing was preparing to attack Bashu. I was very worried that the prefect of Badong Pang would secretly help the Jingzhou army. I suggested transferring Pang Xi to strengthen the defense of Badong County. .”

After a while, Liu Zhang asked slowly: "You mean, Pang Xi and Liu Jing have collusion?"

"I don't dare to say that, but Liu Jing is more in line with the interests of Dongzhou people. If Zhou Mu doesn't control the power of Dongzhou people as soon as possible, Yizhou will be "disrupted" by them."

Although Liu Zhang is not a man of great talent and generality, he is considered to have the intelligence of a normal person. For more than ten years, Dongzhou scholars have told him how they were oppressed by Bashu native factions. Bashu accused Dongzhou scholars of infringing on the interests of Shu people. Calluses are already heard.

At this time, Zhang Song reminded him to pay attention to defend Liu Jing, but Zhang Song's sword was pointed at Pang Xi, which really annoyed Liu Zhang.

He held back his displeasure and said, "I know Liu Jing's ambitions, so I will naturally consider how to defend against him, but at this critical juncture, I still hope that there will be no 'chaos' inside Bashu, and that everyone will agree to the outside world. This is what I want to hear. suggestion."

Seeing that Liu Zhang misunderstood what he meant, Zhang Song hurriedly wanted to explain, but Liu Zhang yawned impatiently and said, "It's already noon, and I'm a little tired. Let's talk tomorrow if you have anything to do!"

Zhang Songnai had no choice but to stand up and say goodbye. Seeing him walking away, he couldn't help but snorted coldly, got up and said, "Go back to the back house!"

Several confidantes surrounded Liu Zhang and went to the back house, until they came to Wenxiangyuan. The so-called "courtyard" is actually equivalent to a palace, a complex of dozens of towers and pavilions, where Liu Zhang's favorite Yun's concubine, Yun's nickname is Yuzhu, she is tall and slender, and her skin is as white as jade. Everyone also calls her Yuzhuji. Zhang has many wives and concubines. Yuzhuji has been married to Liu Zhang for two years. Liu Zhang's love for her never diminished.

Yun is about 20 years old. She is the youngest daughter of Yun Shao, a businessman in central Sichuan. The father and brother were high-ranking officials and nobles, and at the same time awarded her father the most fertile [-] hectares of land in the suburbs of Chengdu.

Therefore, there is a popular slang in Chengdu in the past two years, "it is better to have a daughter like Yuzhu than to read through thousands of books." '

The Yun family had already heard about Liu Zhang's arrival, she put on a long emerald makeup, and led a group of servant girls to wait at the door, when Liu Zhang's figure appeared, she immediately went up to meet him and knelt down, and said softly, "My concubine Yu Jier welcomes the general!"

Liu Zhang quickly helped her up, and narrowed his eyes with a smile, "I was upset at first, but when I saw Ai Ji, I didn't have any worries at all."

Yun Shi stood up softly and weakly, leaning half on Liu Zhang's body, whispering in his ear: "The concubine has set up a banquet, and I would like to have a drink with the general."

"Okay! It's exactly what I want."

Liu Zhang put his arms around her willow waist, and the two of them entered the inner hall, where a table of banquets had already been set up, Yun took off his outer robe for Liu Zhang, and took his arm to the table, she pursed her lips and held out her jaded hands Poured a glass of wine for Liu Zhang, "The general is late, I want to punish the general first."

"Yu Zhu'er punished me, of course I want to drink!"

Liu Zhang picked up the wine glass and drank it down, and Yun took up the silver pot and filled him with wine, then asked seriously: "Just now the general said that he was upset, and something went wrong, why don't you give Yuzhu a cup of wine?" Tell me, I am willing to relieve the general's worries."

"Hey! It's actually nothing wrong. The ministers are attacking each other with threats from Jingzhou, which is annoying."

"The general is talking about Liu Jing?"

Liu Zhang was taken aback, "Ai Ji also knows about Liu Jing?"

Yun's eyes turned into crescent moons, and she said softly: "General, have you forgotten what my father does? He often goes to Jingzhou to do business and has a lot of knowledge. In fact, the general can ask my father, rather than asking those who don't know. And ministers with selfish motives are much stronger, the general said, right?"

Liu Zhang is a very soft-hearted person. He was also tempted by what my concubine said. He could ask Yun Shao, so he smiled and said, "When I take a nap, I will ask Mr. Yuezhang in the afternoon."

"The general is necrotic, come on! I'll toast the general."

In the afternoon, a middle-aged man in his fifties hurried into Liu Zhang's official room under the guidance of his guards. This man was Yun's father, Yun Shao. In Jingzhou and Bashu, selling cheap and selling expensive, gradually I have a little savings in my hands.

Yun Shao began to think about developing in the officialdom. Through various pursuits, his relationship with Pang Xi, the prefect of Bashu, became very close. With Pang Xi's help, he finally let Liu Zhang meet his daughter Yuzhu, and the result was a great success. He was deeply favored by Liu Zhang, and Yun Shao himself became the most noble relative in Bashu.

Yun Shao walked into the official room, knelt down and saluted, "I pay homage to Zhou Mu!"

Liu Zhang quickly helped him up, "Don't do this, Aunt, we are relatives, so we should treat each other with common courtesy."

"Thank you Zhou Mu, I don't know if Zhou Mu came to me, what's the matter?"

"Just chatting, Ah Weng, please sit down!"

Yun Shao sat down. In fact, he knew why Liu Zhang was looking for him. He had already greeted his daughter.

Liu Zhang pondered for a moment and asked, "Ah Weng often travels to and from Jingzhou, what do you think of Liu Jing?"

Yun Shao chuckled, "In the past, Jingzhou was controlled by the four great families of Cai, Kuai, Huang, and Pang, but since Liu Jing came to power, he suppressed these four great families very severely. Now, there is only a little old man left, and the Pang family also handed over the land to concentrate on teaching. Now there are basically no rich families in Jingzhou, and the power of the government has increased accordingly. It should be said that Liu Jing is still a very capable and courageous person .”

Liu Zhang nodded, "I also heard that Cao Cao praised him very much, but does Ah Weng think he really wants to plot against me in Bashu?"

"It's hard for me to say."

"Ah Weng is a man of insight, but it doesn't matter."

Yun Shao thought for a while and said: "I also know some people from the government in Jiangling. I heard from them that Liu Jing classified the enemies into three classes. The first is Cao Cao, followed by Sun Quan and Liu Bei, and the third is the state shepherd and Heilongjiang. Zhang Lu, if he wants to seek Bashu, I think he will consider it sooner or later, but it should not be now."

"How do you say that?" Liu Zhang asked quickly.

"Judging from his enemies, he should deal with Liu Bei first, to eradicate his worries, and then consider Bashu. Before Liu Bei is wiped out, I don't think he will consider Bashu for the time being. Otherwise, Liu Bei will take advantage of the emptiness of Jingzhou and attack him. It’s not worth the loss.”

Liu Zhang nodded slowly, he actually had a feeling of seeing the sun behind the clouds, "It's still Ah Weng who has insight!"

After pondering for a while, Liu Zhang asked again: "But why did he want to occupy Zigui?"

Yun Shao chuckled, "I know Zigui's position very well. Liu Jing's occupation of Zigui should be aimed at Liu Bei, not the state shepherd. He is afraid that Liu Bei will occupy Bashu and become his strong enemy. Once Liu Bei attacks from the west, Sun Quan will attack from the east. Attacking and being attacked, Jingzhou will be finished. To put it bluntly, Liu Jing hasn't put Zhou Mu in his eyes yet, and his formidable enemy is actually Liu Bei."

Although it made Liu Zhang feel a little uncomfortable, he also let it go. Compared with Liu Jing's attention, Bashu is more important to him. At this time, Yun Shao said again: "Actually, I think Liu Bei is our great enemy. , far surpassing Liu Jing."

"How do you say this?" Liu Zhang was a little puzzled.

"It's actually very simple. Liu Jing has a rich and prosperous Jingzhou. He has no shortage of foundations, but Liu Bei is not. He occupies Jingnan, with a small population and barren land. It is difficult to save and raise soldiers at all, just like I do business. Without capital, what he desires most at this time is to occupy a rich land. He can't beat Liu Jing in Jingzhou, and he is not strong enough to deal with Jiangdong, so he will definitely attack Bashu. Didn't Zhou Mu think of it? Why would he want to Greatly build Wucheng County? And station heavy troops there."

Liu Zhang suddenly realized, and he said bitterly: "Zhang Song misunderstood me, if Ah Weng hadn't reminded me, I would have almost ruined a big event."

Yun Shao narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Actually, what Zhang Biejia has to deal with is not Liu Jing, but Dongzhou scholars. It's like doing business. Liu Jing is just a merchant who receives goods, and has little influence on Zhang Biejia. The colleagues who eat in the restaurant are enemies."
