Soldiers come to the world

On the surface of the vast and bright river, a fleet of ships is going down the river mighty and mightily. The fleet did not hoist their huge sails, but they are flying red flags, which are particularly dazzling under the blue sky and white clouds. , This is probably the largest wedding fleet in history, with more than 100 warships and [-] troops, stretching for tens of miles, and the momentum is spectacular.

On the boat of the main four thousand stone building headed by Liu Jing, Liu Jing stood on the third floor with his hands behind his back, overlooking the river in the distance. After more than a year, he came to Jiangdong again. The two moods were completely different.

The first time he was trying to win over the Jiangdong Alliance and fight against Cao Cao. With a humble attitude, he did not hesitate to endure Sun Quan's humiliation of recognizing Liu Qi as the Lord of Jingzhou at the same time, and he did not hesitate to conspire for a good treatment. Create the illusion that Xun Yu visited Jingzhou.

But this time, he accepts the bow of the loser with the attitude of a winner. Of course, he also needs to reconcile with Jiangdong, so that he has no worries, and goes westward with all his strength to seize the greatest geostrategic advantage. Come, also with the utmost sincerity.

Although he was about to become a bridegroom, he was not very excited. At this time, his thoughts flew to Bashu thousands of miles away, thinking about how to capture Bashu, Hanzhong and Guanzhong, and lay the most solid foundation for him to eventually win the world.

"Zhou Mu, Liyang County is ahead!" On the deck, a soldier shouted.

Liu Jing also saw a dark city appearing on the north bank in the distance, and there was a smile in his eyes, Zhao Yun should have been waiting for him on the pier.

. . . . . . . . . .

Zhao Yun had been waiting on the pier for a long time. Behind him, [-] elite soldiers were lined up, ready to board the boat and return to Jingzhou. [

At this time, Liu Jing's big boat slowly stopped on the pier. When Liu Jing appeared on the ship's side, the five thousand elite knelt down on one knee, and everyone shouted in unison, "See Zhou Mu!"

The movements were neat and uniform, and the shouts were loud and clear, Liu Jing couldn't help laughing. When did Zhao Yun learn this kind of "collective etiquette"?

Looking at Zhao Yun again, he was glaring fiercely at Li Qun, Li Qun's face, and there was a trace of uneasiness on Li Qun's face. Only then did Liu Jing realize that this matter had nothing to do with Zhao Yun, but it was also hurtful.

He smiled and waved to the soldiers, "Brothers have worked hard, please get up!"

The soldiers stood up, their movements still very neat, Liu Jing stepped off the big boat, Zhao Yun hurriedly greeted him, bowing and saluting, "See the state shepherd for humble positions!"

There were more than a dozen generals following behind Zhao Yun. Under such circumstances, Liu Jing changed his address to Zhao Yun, "General Zhao, excuse me!"

He also praised the generals behind Zhao Yun: "This Eastern Expedition, everyone did a perfect job and successfully completed the task. I will give you a lot of rewards to commend your achievements."

Everyone was overjoyed and saluted together to thank them. The generals went to arrange for the soldiers to board the ship. Then Zhao Yun smiled at Liu Jing: "Congratulations, brother!"

Liu Jing smiled wryly, "I came all the way to Jiangdong to mobilize the people, just because the mother-in-law wanted to see the son-in-law, and thinking about it would give me a headache."

"This is also human nature!"

Zhao Yun also smiled slightly and said: "When someone marry their only daughter to you, they naturally want to see their son-in-law. I heard that Princess Shangxiang of Jiangdong is beautiful and virtuous. It is also a blessing for a virtuous brother to marry her."

It was rare for Zhao Yun to joke like this. Liu Jing was in a good mood, patted his arm and smiled, "Since brother said so, then accompany me to Jingkou."

"I also have the same intention, to be a guard for my brother!"

The two looked at each other and laughed together. At this moment, a soldier rushed over and bowed down to report: "Report to Zhou Mu, the governor of Jiangdong Zhou is here."

Unexpectedly meeting Zhou Yu here, Liu Jing immediately ordered: "Please come to Dudu Zhou!"

Zhou Yu also heard the report. When a powerful fleet from Jingzhou arrived, he immediately realized that it was Liu Jing who had arrived.

In fact, the settlement agreement between the two parties has been signed, and Tai Shici, Lu Meng and others were also released ten days ago. For Jiang Dong, the withdrawal of the Jingzhou Army from Liyang is imminent.

Zhou Yu had no choice. He sent people to see Zhao Yun several times, hoping that he could withdraw troops as soon as possible according to the agreement between the two parties, but Zhao Yun only replied with one sentence, "I have not received the order to withdraw troops!" '

Now that Liu Jing's arrival finally gave Zhou Yu a glimmer of hope, he hurried over from the mine.

"Liu Zhoumu, don't come here!" Surrounded by more than a dozen guards, Zhou Yu walked quickly and laughed loudly from afar.

Liu Jing smiled, stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "I didn't expect to see Gong Jin here, what a pleasant surprise!"

"I hope to meet Zhou Mu in Jingkou and celebrate Zhou Mu's wedding, but I can't help it. If General Zhao doesn't leave, I have to stay here."

When Zhou Yu said this, he glanced at Zhao Yun meaningfully. The implication was to remind Liu Jing that the Jingzhou Army in Liyang should withdraw.

Liu Jing naturally understood his reminder, he smiled and said: "Don't worry, Gong Jin, because I can't dispatch so many warships at the moment, so I'm two days late, and now I'm queuing up to board the ship, and Gong Jin can go back to Jingkou too. .”

Only then did Zhou Yu notice that the Jingzhou army was queuing up to board the ship. He couldn't help being pleasantly surprised, and the little resentment in his heart disappeared. He was overjoyed, and hurriedly cupped his hands to apologize, "Please forgive my stupid eyes, I didn't see the army is evacuating. Don't be offended!"

Liu Jing smiled slightly, looked back at Zhao Yun, and said to Zhou Yu: "General Zhao is going to Jingkou with me, can Gong Jin do you a favor, take my boat, and we will go to Jingkou together."

Now that Liu Jing has spoken, Zhou Yu has to give this face anyway, but he wants to arrange for Li Yang to take over. He thought for a while and said, "Of course I would like to go with Zhou Mu, but please give me some time, and I will arrange it."

"Gongjin just go back and make arrangements, I'll leave early tomorrow morning!"

Early the next morning, Jingzhou's wedding fleet left Liyang and continued towards Jingkou. On Liu Jing's building boat, there were two more guests, one was Zhao Yun and the other was Zhou Yu.

Zhao Yun was worried that Liu Jing would go deep into the tiger's lair alone. He insisted on following Liu Jing, and Zhou Yu and Liu Jing were on the same boat. On the surface, it was Liu Jing's invitation, but Zhou Yu readily agreed. Deeper intentions.

After the disastrous defeat of the Jiangdong Army's western expedition, the balance of the entire south was broken, Jiangdong fell into a trough, and Liu Bei was appointed as Jiaozhou Shepherd, Liu Jing signed a settlement agreement with Cao Cao, and had frequent contacts with Bashu.

Jiangdong has been sensitively aware that a new "tide" of competition is about to set off in the whole south, so what kind of strategy Liu Jing will adopt is especially important to Jiangdong.

However, in the absence of mutual trust between Jingzhou and Jiangdong officials, it was extremely necessary for Zhou Yu to develop a personal friendship with Liu Jing.

In the viewing cabin, the soldiers packed a table of food and drink, and Liu Jing and Zhou Yu were sitting and drinking, sharing the friendship of the Battle of Chibi.

"What does Zhou Mu think Cao Cao's real intention is to station troops in Hefei?" Zhou Yu asked.

In fact, Zhou Yu certainly knew that Cao Cao's stationing of troops in Hefei was related to Jiangdong's internal instability, but he wanted to know Cao Cao's real strategic arrangements. He believed that Liu Jing's vision would be able to see through Cao Cao's appearance.

Liu Jing raised his earcup and said with a smile: "Cao Cao stationed troops in Hefei, and he could enter the Yangtze River through Chaohu Lake, but according to my information, Cao Cao did not build large-scale ships in Hefei. Obviously, this is not an attack on Jiangdong. Gesture, of course, if someone from Jiangdong is willing to send a boat to Jiangbei, Cao Cao is of course willing to visit Jiangdong, it depends on his luck."

Liu Jing meant that Cao Cao didn't intend to attack Jiangdong, but at the same time reminded Zhou Yu to guard against Sun Ben's collusion with Cao Jun and send ships to Cao Cao.

Zhou Yu nodded silently. Liu Jing's reminder was very necessary. Luo Lin, the magistrate of Wuhu County, was Sun Ben's confidant. If Sun Ben's desire for profit ordered Luo Lin to collect civilian ships and give them to Cao Cao, the consequences would be disastrous. Control the local government along the river.

"Why does Zhou Mu think that Cao Cao didn't build large-scale ships in Hefei? Is it because of the lack of national power?" Zhou Yu asked again.

"It has something to do with the lack of national power, but I think the more important reason is that Cao Cao's attention is on the west, and he actually can't take care of Jiangdong for a while."

"In the west?"

Zhou Yu thought for a while, and immediately understood, "Does Zhou Mu mean Ma Chao?"

Liu Jing nodded, "Ma Chao and Han Sui have [-] armored soldiers, and the cavalry and pikemen are especially sharp. Cao Cao's troops in Guanzhong are weak, only Zhong Yao's [-] troops, and the dangerous pass in the west of Guanzhong has been occupied by Ma Chao. Once Ma Chao rebelled, he would annex Guanzhong. If the Yellow River was frozen, he might even cross the river with iron horses, enter Bingzhou, and attack Yedu. For Cao Cao, Ma Chao was like a thorn in his back. "

Zhou Yu knew that Liu Jing must have a secret connection with Ma Chao, otherwise he would not easily say that Ma Chao rebelled. After all, if there is no civil strife in Jiangdong, Cao Cao will take advantage of it. Zhou Yu sighed low, feeling a little sad .

At this time, Liu Jing asked again with a smile: "I heard that Marquis Wu has the intention of expanding to the south. Is he planning to take Jian'an County?"

Zhou Yu didn't want to hide this point. In fact, Zhang Hong had "revealed" the truth during the negotiations. He nodded and said, "The main consideration is to take the three counties of Jian'an, Luling, and Linchuan, and at the same time consolidate Linhai County. suggestion?"

Liu Jing smiled and said: "After taking Jian'an County, I naturally want to continue to take Nanhai County, but I heard from Jiangdong that transportation to the south is the biggest problem. I suggest that we can take the sea route, develop settlements along the coast, and expand inland from point to point. In this way, it will be much easier to choose Jian'an County or Nanhai County."

Zhou Yu changed his mind, he thought about the problem of the boat, and tentatively said: "But if you go by sea, you will break through the limit of a thousand stones, does Zhou Mu think it's okay?"

Liu Jing laughed, "I remember that the limit in the contract is a thousand stone warship, so what's the problem with building a large merchant ship?"

Zhou Yu was overjoyed, as if a big door opened in front of his eyes, allowing him to see the beauty of the outer limit, yes!Taking the sea route and building a large merchant ship, Jiangdong will naturally march to Jiaozhou.

Thinking of Jiaozhou, Zhou Yu immediately thought of Liu Bei again, his heart was shocked, and he looked at Liu Jing, only to see a sly smile in Liu Jing's eyes, Zhou Yu suddenly realized, he and Liu Jing looked at each other, the two of them together Laugh out loud.

There is no need to talk about it anymore. Liu Jing gave up Jiaozhou to Jiangdong, which means that Jingzhou's next target must be Bashu, and then Hanzhong and Guanzhong. Zhou Yu's heart has been completely enlightened. There will be no conflict of interest with Jingzhou.
