Soldiers come to the world

Chapter 472 Meeting at Ganlu Temple

() "I have also heard that there are Yizhou and Danzhou overseas. In the past, the first emperor sent Xu Fu to lead five hundred boys and girls to Danzhou, but there was no news."

Sun Quan shook his head and smiled again: "A few years ago, overseas people who called themselves Danzhou came to Kuaiji County to buy goods. It is said that Danzhou has a population of tens of thousands of households and is thousands of miles away. I guess that Danzhou should be when Emperor Guangwu came to pay tribute. The Japanese slave country.

As for Yizhou, fishermen often mention that there is a large island hundreds of miles east of Jian'an County, where many natives live. However, Jian'an County has not yet taken it, and there is no plan to capture this large island for the time being. "

Speaking of this, Sun Quan glanced at Liu Jing and said with a smile, "Is my brother interested?"

Liu Jing nodded, "To tell you the truth, brother, I'm really interested."

Sun Quan narrowed his eyes and smiled, "If you are interested, I will give you Yizhou, and I will send someone to help you take Yizhou, how about it?"

"What's the point of this?"

Liu Jing said haha ​​casually, but he was thinking quickly in his heart. He didn't quite understand why Sun Quan became so magnanimous. To take Yizhou, he had to start from Jian'an County and needed logistics supplies from Jian'an County. Sun Quan was not afraid that he would be in the southeast. Got a foothold?

Of course Sun Quan knew the consequences of giving Yizhou to Liu Jing, but it was a long-term matter. He wanted to solve the urgent need now. He said with a smile: "If you feel embarrassed, how about we talk about Yuzhang County?"

It was only then that Liu Jing understood what Sun Quan meant. It turned out that Sun Quan was still planning for Yuzhang County. He smiled quietly, "Brother, please tell me!"

"What I mean is that Yuzhang County is actually not important to my virtuous brother, but it is very important to Jiangdong. I suggest giving it to Jiangdong, but I don't want my virtuous brother to suffer. I can exchange two conditions. I wonder if we can Talk again?"

"Brother, please continue to talk, I'm all ears."

Sun Quan saw that Liu Jing didn't refuse all the time, a glimmer of hope suddenly lit up in his heart, and he said hastily: "One condition is Yizhou, I have already agreed to it just now, and the other condition is probably very interesting to my virtuous brother, that is, the waterway of the Yangtze River. The Yangtze River waterway to the west of Wankou is assigned to Jingzhou, that is, we use Wankou as the boundary on the Yangtze River, and Yuzhang County belongs to Jiangdong."

In fact, what Liu Jing was considering was not Yizhou, but the Xiying Islands between Yizhou and Jian'an County are about three hundred miles away from the mainland and a hundred miles away from Yizhou, which is the Penghu Islands of later generations. Establishing a logistics supply point will be a crucial move for him to seize the southeast coast in the future.

Although Yuzhang County is a large county in the south with a large population and a relatively developed economy, if he Liu Jingzhi is not in the south, then Yuzhang County is only an important strategic buffer zone for him, but Liu Jing also knows that for him who wants to be in the Jiangdong, which is developing in the south, and Yuzhang County are indeed very important.

It seems a little uneconomical to exchange Yuzhang County for a foundation on the southeast coast. More importantly, he was able to merge Yizhou into the territory of the Central Plains. This is another great achievement. In comparison, Yuzhang The county seemed insignificant.

What's more, Sun Quan promised to give up the Yangtze River waterway about [-] miles west of Wankou to Jingzhou, which further strengthened Jiangxia's security. Of course, the strategic position of Yuzhang County is also very important. The safety of Changsha County.

Thinking of this, Liu Jing smiled happily: "The reason I want Yuzhang County is to ensure the safety of Changsha. If Jiangdong agrees not to garrison troops in Yuzhang County, but only to administer government affairs, we can talk about it again."

It can be said that the gains and losses of Yuzhang County are related to Sun Quan's prestige and status. Although the two parties agreed to hand over in one year, there is no impenetrable wall in the world. The news of Yuzhang's ceding to Jingzhou will still spread sooner or later. It will be a hard blow.

As for Liu Jing's condition of not being able to garrison troops, there is no problem at all. Jiangdong's garrison in Yuzhang County has never exceeded a thousand people.

"Then we'll make a deal!" Sun Quan looked at Liu Jing eagerly.

"In principle, it's settled like this. As for some details, such as how Jiangdong supports Jingzhou to take Yizhou, etc., let us go down and discuss!"

The big stone that Sun Quan had been pressing on his heart finally disappeared, and he felt extremely relieved in his heart. He patted Liu Jing's shoulder heavily and smiled, "It's really my sister-in-law!"

The banquet held in Ganlu Palace is simple yet grand. It is said that it is simple because there is no mountain of meat and wine on the banquet. Mrs. Wu is a Buddhist believer. All dishes are mainly light, with many vegetables and fruits. Put some fresh fish and shrimp, and the wine is also fruit wine.

But the banquet was very grand, with the best carved red sandalwood tables, gold clasps, suet white jade pots, silver plates inlaid with gold threads, silver fungus cups with yellow mouths, and gold-plated copper bottles. In this way, there are also musicians and dancers, and there are hundreds of maids serving meals.

Most of the people present at the banquet were from the Sun family. Mrs. Wu was seated as the chief, and the eldest daughter-in-law Qiao was sitting beside her. On the other side was the soon-to-be-married heroine Sun Shangxiang. Attend.

On the left are Marquis Wu Sun Quan and his wife Xie. Below are Sun Quan's other two concubines, Xu and Bu. On the right is Liu Jing. On the bottom are the in-laws and matchmaker Qiao Guolao and his wife, and the witness Lu Fan. He and his wife, Liu Shi, and Zhao Yun, the reception envoy, who can also be regarded as the man's family, attended the family banquet.

Mrs. Wu glanced at the banquet and found that Sun Ben hadn't arrived, so she turned her head and asked the steward, "Why didn't the patriarch come?"

The manager hurriedly said: "Returning to the old lady, Sun Taishou said that he was unwell and couldn't come."

The old lady felt a little displeased, she glanced at Sun Quan, the reason was very clear to her, she wanted to take this opportunity to ease the internal conflicts in the Sun family, but since Sun Ben didn't appreciate it, let him do as he pleases!

"Today is a reception banquet for Yanqing, and it's also a family banquet. I hope everyone can be more casual and don't be too restrained!"

Mrs. Wu smiled and said the opening remarks, then said to her daughter Shang Xiang: "Go and pour your husband a glass of wine!"

There was a lot of knowing laughter from the banquet, which was really surprising. Although Sun Shangxiang was already Liu Jing's wife in name, they hadn't gone through the marriage ceremony, and there was still such a distance between them in actual marriage.

According to the etiquette system, they really shouldn't meet, just like getting married in a small family, Liu Jing wants to use a big boat to welcome Sun Shangxiang to Jingzhou, and then pay homage to the church to get married, but this is impossible, as Jiangdong's face, they must get married in Jiangdong , and then return to Jingzhou together.

This meant that their marriage was different from that of a small family. Mrs. Wu knew this very well. She hoped that her daughter could see her future husband-in-law before marriage, so she uncharacteristically asked her daughter to pour wine for Liu Jing. In fact, it is also a kind of win over the future son-in-law.

Sun Shangxiang stood up shyly, and slowly walked in front of Liu Jing with a suet white jade jug. Liu Jing's face was also a little red, and he felt a little embarrassed, but he unexpectedly found that the long dress Sun Shangxiang was wearing turned out to be a light red one. The fine linen dress, he felt a little weird, what's going on?Is Jiangdong also advocating simplicity?

At this time, Sun Shangxiang knelt down in front of him and carefully filled a glass of wine for him. Although her face was blushing and her expression was shy, when she got up, her long eyelashes were raised, and a pair of bright star-like eyes were deep. He took a deep look at Liu Jing with a challenging smile in his eyes.

Liu Jing's heart suddenly heated up. If it is said that Sun Shangxiang's every move, appearance and smile are completely different from that of a lady, but the smile in her eyes is a bit wild, with a kind of challenge. He likes it. This kind of woman is full of personality and full of challenges.

Sun Shangxiang walked back to her seat and sat down. Mrs. Wu patted her hand approvingly. At this moment, Liu Jing stood up with an earcup and said with a smile: "Thank you, my mother-in-law, for holding a reception banquet for my son-in-law, and thank you all relatives for joining us." This big family is Liu Jing's honor, and it is also the favor of my mother-in-law. I would like to express my deep gratitude for this glass of wine, and I will drink it as a respect!"

He raised his glass and drank the wine in one gulp, which attracted applause from all the halls. With the sound of a cloud board, a group of dancers entered the pool, with long sleeves and dancing, graceful and graceful. The maids were also busy pouring wine and serving dishes. Everyone toasted to Liu Jing one by one, Liu Jing didn't delay, drank five or six cups in a row, and still didn't change his face.

Seeing Liu Jing's boldness, Mrs. Wu liked it even more, she smiled and asked again: "I heard that Jingzhou civil servants and generals are full of talents, but who is the number one martial artist in Jingzhou?"

Liu Jing chuckled: "There are five tiger generals in Jingzhou, the first general is my righteous brother Zhao Yun Zhao Zilong, the second general is veteran Huang Zhong Huang Hansheng, the third general is Gan Ning Gan Xingba, and the fourth general is Jingzhou famous general Wen Hiring Wen Zhongye, the fifth will be Wei Yan and Wei Wenchang."

Mrs. Wu didn't realize that the general who was sitting next to her was Zhao Yun, so she came to her senses and said to Zhao Yun, "Could it be that this general is General Zhao Zilong who fought hundreds of thousands of Cao's troops at Changbanpo."

Zhao Yun got up and cupped his hands, saying, "Don't dare to be the last general!"

Mrs. Wu sighed again: "7 I heard from my late husband that the most powerful general in the world is Lu Bu Lu Fengxian, but there is another strong general at Gongsun Zan in Youzhou who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Lu Bu. This person is Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong. Today When I saw him, he was indeed a strong man!"

She poured a full cup of wine from the wine cup on her table, and said to the maid: "Bring this wine to General Zilong for me, and I will toast General Zilong for my husband."

The maid brought the wine to Zhao Yun, Zhao Yun bowed to thank him, drank the wine in one gulp, saluted with fists together, and sat down.

At this moment, Lu Fan smiled and said, "The old lady may not know that Liu Zhoumu is actually a powerful general who can defeat ten thousand people. If the five tigers of Jingzhou were ranked by force, he would only be behind General Zhao Yun, but in terms of strategy and literary talent, I am afraid that there is no general in the world. can be compared to him."

Mrs. Wu was very surprised, she laughed and said, "So my son-in-law is so humble?"

Liu Jing shook his head, "Mr. Lu has praised me too much. I have only practiced martial arts for a few days and read a few books. How dare I stand shoulder to shoulder with famous generals and talents in the world."

Sun Quan whispered a few words to his wife, Mrs. Xie, Mrs. Xie understood, and said with a smile: "I have heard for a long time that Uncle Zhoumu is known as the leader of the Eight Talents of Jingzhou, and his literary talents are brilliant. Fan?"

Liu Jing hurriedly declined, but Sun Shangxiang said: "Liu Jun is the Lord of Jingzhou, why did you bow your head in Jiangdong?"

After finishing speaking, she looked at Liu Jing with a pair of beautiful eyes and a smile. Everyone tried to persuade her, but Liu Jing could only nod her head, "If that's the case, then Liu Jing made a fool of herself."

Mrs. Wu was overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered her left and right to say: "Bring up the pen and paper!"

Several maids brought the table and spread the paper, Sun Shangxiang stood up gracefully and said, "I would like to study ink for you!"

She knelt aside, studying ink for Liu Jing. Liu Jing thought for a while and said: "I have always liked Yuefu poetry, and I especially like long and short sentences, so I present a long and short sentence of Yuefu with the theme of the heroes of Jingzhou and Jiangdong to thank my mother-in-law for her love!"

He wrote with a brush: "The great river goes east, the waves wash away, and there is a man of the ages. To the west of the old base, the humanity is the Red Cliff, the hero of Jingzhou. The rocks pierced through the sky, the stormy waves hit the shore, and thousands of piles of snow were rolled up. The mountains and rivers are picturesque. How many heroes."

When he accomplished it with one stroke, all the hall immediately applauded, Qiao Guolao stroked his beard and praised: "What a picturesque country, there are so many heroes at a time, if you don't have the mind of the world, it is difficult to write this Yuefu poem, wonderful! Wonderful!"

Sun Quan was also amazed in his heart, he smiled and asked: "What a Jingzhou hero, Chibi, but I don't know where my Jiangdong hero is?"

Liu Jing smiled slightly, and continued to write: "I think back in Jiangdong, when the two Qiaos got married for the first time. They were majestic and heroic, with feather fans and scarves. While talking and laughing, the mast and scull were wiped out in ashes."If you travel in the motherland, you should laugh at me passionately, and you will be born early.Life is like a dream, and one statue is still in Jiangyue. '

Sun Shangxiang murmured in a low voice, "Life is like a dream, and one is still in the river moon." Her gaze was a little dazed, at this moment Liu Jing put down her pen, bowed to Mrs. Wu, but accidentally saw Da Qiao, and found that her eyes were filled with tears.
