When it comes to Hanshou, many people will be familiar with it.

However, most people know that Hanshou originated from the title of "Hanshou Tinghou", the second master of Guan Erye in the Three Kingdoms period.

Hanshou has a long history. As early as the Western Han Dynasty, it was established and named Suo County.

In the third year of Yangjia in the later Eastern Han Dynasty, that is, in 134 AD, it was renamed Hanshou.It is adjacent to Dongting in the north, and Yuanshui and Caoshui flows through the territory, directly entering the river and sea, so the water transportation is quite convenient.

It's just that Cao Peng didn't understand why Xun Yu asked him to set up the Governor's Mansion in Hanshou.

Seeing the confused look on Cao Peng's face, Xun Yu smiled and said in a deep voice, "Ah Fu thought that the prime minister asked you to supervise Jingnan just for Liu Bei?"

"Is not it?"

"Of course!"

Xun Yu took a deep breath, walked side by side with Cao Peng, and climbed the Zuotang city wall.

There were guards accompanying them to protect them, but they were so far away that they couldn't hear their conversation at all.As for the others, they couldn't get close to them, which made their conversation extremely safe and convenient.Holding hands to make Tang battlements, he raised his eyes and looked east, without saying a word for a long time.

After a while, Xun Yu said softly, "The prime minister's desire to attack Jiangdong has not stopped."

"what?"

"Don't get me wrong, the prime minister doesn't want to conquer now.

However, Jiangdong is uncertain, so how can there be a unified theory?Not to mention the word Zhongxing... However, the prime minister also knows that now is not a good opportunity for conquest.As you said, the naval army has not yet been completed, and there are no generals who are good at naval warfare. Conquering Jiangdong will inevitably be difficult.Jiangdong's terrain is complex, still better than Jingchu.If you can't succeed in the first battle, it will inevitably waste people and money, and the cost will be huge, so the prime minister is also very cautious.

To seize Jingnan, the prime minister had two intentions.

One is to use the terrain of Jingnan to train troops so that the problem of terrain and terrain can be avoided when attacking Jiangdong in the future; the other is to train the navy and find a training place for the navy... Hehe, Ah Fu now knows what the prime minister's intention is? "

Cao Peng opened his mouth wide and nodded after a while.

However, he seemed to come to his senses all of a sudden, turned his head to look at Xun Yu and said, "Military Master, what do you mean, the prime minister wants to dismiss Cai Mao?"

"It's just sooner or later."

Cao Peng was not surprised by Xun Yu's answer.

For Cao Cao, the navy is of great significance.He will definitely not hand over 10,000+, or even hundreds of thousands of navy troops, to Cai Mao.Not to mention Cai Mao's ability, just the word loyalty alone is not enough.How could Cao Cao give him the navy?

Seeing Cao Peng's reaction, Xun Yu said in a low voice: "The Prime Minister's intention is to let the Dongting navy separate from the Jingzhou navy.

Before the navy retreated, the prime minister had arranged for the deputy governor Du Bohou to withdraw 2 people from the Jingzhou navy and station them in Dongting.In name, it was to resist the Boluoyuan Jiangdong water army, but in fact it was to start a new one, taking advantage of the convenience of Dongting, to imitate Jiangdong Chaisang water army's drills and training.On the one hand, let Cai Mao contain the Jiangdong water army and consume the strength of the Jingzhou water army; on the other hand, let Du Bohou train the water army.You know this matter and I know it, and no one else should know about it. "

Cao Peng understands!
Cao Cao is building his own navy team...

Although there is a navy on Tangling Island, it has been established for too short a time and its foundation is too weak.Zhoucang's navy centered on Dongling Island, and with Xuzhou's support, it was able to cross the lower reaches of the river and block the river's estuary.However, it would be unrealistic to conquer Jiangdong with the Tangling Island navy.And Cai Mao controlled the Jiangdong navy, but he didn't let Cao Cao feel at ease.So under the pretext of letting Du Ji take a break, he mobilized elites from the Jingzhou navy to recuperate in Dongting Lake and practice the navy, which is equivalent to establishing his own navy.

Du Ji was once a trilogy of Cao Peng.

Cai Mao would definitely not be happy with his distribution of power in the army, but he couldn't refuse.

Now that Du Ji is gone, and he is returning to his old boss's subordinates, Cai Mao will not only not notice, but will even be very happy.And Bo Luoyuan's Jiangdong navy just gave Cao Cao an excuse... In this way, Cao Cao's arrangement is really very comprehensive.

Cao Peng secretly praised Cao Cao's meticulousness.

At the same time, he also understood Xun Yu's intention to set up the Governor's Mansion in Hanshou.

Hanshou is located in the middle of Dongting, Lingyang, Zuotang and Yuannan, and is close to Linyuan. It is indeed the best choice.

"In this way, I will set up the Dudu Mansion in Hanshou."

"Very good!"

Seeing that Cao Peng already understood, Xun Yu didn't repeat himself, "I'll take a rest overnight in Zuotang, let's go tomorrow... I have ordered someone to arrange it in Hanshou. You go to Linyuan first, and after meeting Lai Gong, go to Han Longevity. After three days, Lingming and Wenchang will arrive, and we will go to Yuannan together."

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Cao Cao made Cao Peng the governor of Jingnan, which is equivalent to returning the military administration to Cao Peng.

But the problem is that although Cao Peng has had the experience of being alone, he is young after all.And his opponent this time is different from before.Although it is not the first time that Liu Bei has confronted Liu Bei, the current Liu Bei is not the same as Liu Bei when he was in Nanyang...

It is definitely a good thing for Cao Peng to have Xun Yu's help.

Among the five masterminds of Cao Cao, Xun Yu's ability must not be underestimated.When he defected to Cao Cao, Cao Cao praised Xun Yu as "my son's house".Although most of the time, Xun Yu's performance is not outstanding, but in fact the most indispensable is Xun Yu.

After all, Xun Yu's vision, strategy and overall situation are all outstanding.

Even Guo Jia is not as good as Xun Yu.

Cao Peng felt that it was an excellent opportunity for him to have Xun Yu's help.Therefore, he didn't feel restrained by others, but secretly entertained in his heart.

Since the beginning of spring in Jian'an 13, the river has become lively all of a sudden.

There were constant ships traveling between the two sides of the river, including envoys from Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and even those as far away as Yizhou.

After Liu Zhang won the position of Da Situ, he immediately became high-spirited.

Perhaps in his opinion, in the upcoming war, the voice of Yizhou cannot be absent.So Liu Zhang sent people to Jiangdong and gave Sun Quan three hundred strong men... well, at least that's what Liu Zhang said in the letter.But when Sun Quan saw the three hundred 'strong men', he almost cried!The so-called strong men were probably 20 years ago...all of them were gray at the temples and looked thin and thin. The youngest was in his forties, and the oldest was almost sixty.This is a 'strong man', or a 'lord'!

According to historical records, Liu Zhang donated three hundred old soldiers to Jiangdong.

The point is, on that 'old man', a group of veterans...

But Sun Quan still couldn't refuse, and even had to pay a considerable price for the three hundred 'old soldiers'.

Needless to say, gold, silver and treasures are reciprocal.Sun Quan had no choice but to pinch his nose and respect Liu Zhang as "Da Situ", but in his heart, he was going to fuck Liu Zhang's eighteenth generation ancestors all over again.This guy shouldn't be an official, but a businessman, and he will definitely make a lot of money.

Xun Yan is here!
Zhong Yao is here!

Xu Xuan is here!

Chen Qun is here...

In a short period of time, the northern celebrities came to Jiangdong one by one, which made the Jiangdong gentry feel a little panicked.

And the envoy sent by Yizhou was not waiting for him, Huang Quan, one of the four great masters in Central Sichuan, was also well-known.In contrast, Liu Bei's envoy seemed a little less famous. Zhuge Liang, a young man in his thirties, although he had a prominent position under Liu Bei's account, was obviously inferior to Xun Yan, Zhong Yao and others.Naturally, the hospitality he received was not comparable to other people...

Wu County has become a place where heroes gather.

Conspiracy after conspiracy, verbal swords again and again, although there is no shadow of swords and swords, but the murderous intention hidden behind it is better than fighting on the battlefield.

Sun Quan was harassed by envoys from all sides, and his head hurt.

As night fell quietly, Sun Quan returned to the mansion.

He sat on a large chair that had just been made and patted his forehead lightly.

Unlike the Battle of Chibi in history, Cao Cao's conquest of Jingchu this time did not reveal his ambitions for Jiangdong.On the contrary, Cao Cao showed enough goodwill, conferring officials and honoring titles, rewarding gold and silver, not to mention proposing marriage, which flattered Sun Quan.

Similarly, it is precisely this reason that makes Jiangdong relatively stable.

The generals did not have that sense of crisis, and the civil servants did not talk about the time of surrender.The two sides behaved very calmly, mostly observing from the sidelines to observe the changes in the situation.Of course, the Jiangdong gentry represented by Zhang Zhao seem to be more inclined to Cao Cao, hoping that Sun Quan can live in peace with the Cao family instead of being at war.The military generals, mainly veterans such as Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, still insisted on uniting with Liu against Cao, but they did not form antagonism with Zhang Zhao and others as in history.Their reason is also very clear: the lips are dead and the teeth are cold...

However, facing the threat of Cao Cao's hundreds of thousands of troops, Cheng Pu and others did not dare to express clearly that they would send troops to assist Liu Bei.

After all, Cao Cao did not say that he would attack Jiangdong, and even in the face of Jiangdong's provocation, Cao Cao ordered the navy to retreat and exercise sufficient restraint.If under such circumstances, Sun Quan insisted on sending troops, he would not only face revenge from Cao Cao, but also a rebound from the Jiangdong gentry.

There are many aristocratic families in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Although they still have the form of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, they occupy a pivotal position in politics.

When most of Jiangdong believed that they should stick to Jiangdong and support Liu Bei conditionally.

But if it is said to send troops to help with great fanfare, no one agrees.

Sun Quan was also undecided. After being quarreled during the day, when he returned to the mansion, he still felt the inexplicable pressure...

"My lord, please see Mr. Ma."

"Ah, please!"

Sun Quan hurriedly got up and gave instructions, and after a while, he saw a man in black walking into the hall.This man looked like an eagle watching a wolf, his cheeks were thin and sharp, revealing a fortitude.It's just that the face was covered with scars, which made people dare not look directly at it.He stepped forward and bowed his hands, "Ma Da interrupted me late at night, I hope my lord will forgive me."

"Zhong Zixiu, please be more polite, please sit down quickly."

The age of this motor is a bit older than Sun Quan's, in his early thirties.

When speaking, there is a strong Hanoi accent in his accent, which shows that he is from the north.

Zhongzi is his nickname.

As for its meaning, no one knows.

This person originated in Yuzhang and was recommended by Gu Yong, the prefect of Yuzhang.Although he is not very old, he is calm and capable, with quick thinking.At the same time, he is also very low-key, rarely expressing his ideas in front of everyone.So that most of the time, people will ignore the existence of this person.

But for Sun Quan, this Mr. Ma Zhongzi, with a big heart, is a remarkable figure.

"My lord, are you still worrying about Cao Liu?"

"Ok!"

Sun Quan patted his forehead gently, and said with a wry smile: "Zi Jing Ziyu, insisting on sending troops to assist Liu Bei, said that if Liu Bei dies, Jiangdong will be in danger; but Zibu and others said that Cao Cao served the emperor to order the princes. There is no fault. Now he is in the name of righteousness, conquering Jingchu, and has not peeped at Jiangdong. If he sends troops at this time, Jiangdong will not act in the name of righteousness, and will bring terrible disasters.

I also understand Zijing Ziyu's thoughts, and I also have the intention to send troops.

But Jiangdong's soldiers and horses are good at water warfare... The land of Jingchu is densely covered with mountains and rivers. If you land and fight rashly, if you don't do it well, you will get into trouble.

Zhongzi, what do you think? "

Sun Quan was a very decisive person, and he rarely showed such embarrassment in front of others.

It's not that he didn't know Cao Cao's plan, but he couldn't find a suitable solution.Cao Cao didn't conflict with him at all, and even had a tendency to back off.Cao Cao's soldiers and horses did not enter the territory of Jiangdong, so Sun Quan could not find a suitable excuse.

At the same time, Sun Quan is also very aware of his own strengths and weaknesses.

If it is a water battle, he may not be afraid of Cao Cao.But in the event of a land battle, Jiangdong's soldiers and horses are not only inferior in numbers, but also inferior to the northern army's prestige and prestige of winning Youzhou's victory, and their morale is high.In this case, should he send troops, or not?

Sending troops may not be useful.

If you don't send troops, you will die sooner or later.

Sun Quan's entanglement lies in this...

Ma Da laughed, with a hint of treachery in his laughter.

"When I was in Yuzhang, I heard that when Sun Kuaiji was dying, he asked Zhang Zhao for internal affairs, and Zhou Yu for foreign affairs. Now it is difficult for the Marquis of Wu to make a decision. Why not send someone to ask Zhou Dudu for advice? He is in charge of Jiangdong. The Navy must know the depth of this best."

"This one……"

Sun Quan showed hesitation.

In fact, he had thought of Zhou Yu a long time ago, but he couldn't make up his mind whether he should send someone to ask.

Zhou Yu, who was close to Sun Ce, remembered that it was Sun Ce, not the Sun family.He and Sun Ce are the best friends of the general manager, and they fought together and fought side by side, so they have a high prestige in Jiangdong.And Sun Quan took over the seat of Marquis Wu from Sun Ce, but Sun Ce also had a son.Moreover, Zhou Yu and Sun Ce are brother-in-law, so there is inevitably a gap between Zhou Yu and Sun Quan.

Sun Shao is growing up day by day, gradually becoming like a father.

Although Sun Ce has passed away for nearly ten years, Sun Quan's position has become increasingly stable.However, Sun Ce's influence cannot be ignored...

Especially Cheng Pu's old generals, whenever they mentioned Sun Ce, they always had a look of nostalgia.

This is also one of the main reasons why Sun Quan imprisoned Sun Shao in Fuchun.Of course, Sun Quan did not hope that one day his seat would be taken away by Sun Shao.Sun Shaode is his father Yu Yin, and Jiangdong has a backer like Zhou Yu, which is a big threat to Sun Quan after all.Originally, Sun Shao was gradually forgotten under Sun Quan's suppression.I don't want Cao Cao to come to Jiangdong suddenly to marry his daughter to Sun Shao!
This also made Sun Quan nervous immediately.

At the same time, Sun Shao, who had been suppressed for eight years, once again appeared in everyone's sight.

Sun Quan is a very black-bellied person, and his methods are extremely cruel.The marriage between Lu Xun and the Gu family back then made Sun Ce a little nervous.It was Sun Quan who made the move, trying to poison Gu's daughter, and through Lu Xun's cousin Lu Wan, provoke the relationship between the Gu and Lu families and destroy the connection between the Jiangdong gentry.Unexpectedly, when he saw that he was done, he was inadvertently crashed by Cao Peng.Later, it was Gu and Lu who handed over their private soldiers, which made Sun Quan feel at ease.However, it can be seen from this that Sun Quan is a person who uses unscrupulous means to achieve his goals.

If Sun Shao did not attract the attention of the world, Sun Quan would not mind trying to get rid of Sun Shao.

But it was also the soft-heartedness back then that made it extremely difficult for him to do anything now.Now Sun Shao is not only concerned by the Jiangdong gentry, but also by Cheng Pu and other veterans.At the same time, Wu Guotai went to Fuchun to a large extent, which made Sun Quan dare not act rashly.

Zhou Yu...Zhou Yu!
Sun Quan hesitated for a long time, "If that's the case, then I will trouble Zhong Zi to go to Chaisang."

"It's up to the mark."

"Zhongzi, you said that Cao Cao asked for a marriage, should I agree?"

A look of surprise flashed in Ma Ma's eyes, "Marquis Wu, why did you refuse?"

"This one……"

Ma Da laughed and said: "Sun Shao is the son of Sun Kuaiji, and he is also the son of Marquis Wu. Now is the critical time for Jiangdong, and it is also the time when he is serving the Sun family and sharing the worries of Marquis Wu. Da believes that the world today is a group of heroes. From the beginning, it is quite similar to the Warring States period. Why didn’t Marquis Wu send Young Master Shao to Xudu to get married, so that he could express his position to Cao Cao and gain more time to prepare?”

Send Sun Shao to Xudu?

Sun Quan's eyes lit up suddenly, looking at Ma Da, he suddenly smiled.

It's more like being a proton than getting married.In this way, Sun Shao's departure from Jiangdong will further weaken the influence Sun Ce left behind.At the same time, for Sun Quan, it is tantamount to solving a confidant's trouble.Even if Cheng Pu and the others wanted to support Sun Shao, how could they support him?Could it be that they still have to go to Xudu?Without Sun Shao, Sun Quan's position will be more stable.

"What Zhongzi said is very true."

Sun Quan showed joy and agreed.

"However, Liu Bei's side, how should we solve it?"

If Zhou Yu wants to send troops, should I agree?

Ma Ma laughed and said, "My lord's decision is too much to say. But it doesn't matter whether you send troops or not. The important thing is how your lord can get more benefits from this matter. Although Liu Bei said, he wants to give up Guiyang. However, Guiyang is not up to him and Liu Bei can make a decision. You must know that although he occupies Changsha, his foundation is not stable. If the master wants to win Guiyang, it is best to have a famous teacher... I don’t know what the master thinks?"

Ma Ma said goodbye and left!

But Sun Quan no longer feels sleepy.

From Ma Da's words, he heard a hint of mystery.

If you want to get Guiyang in a legitimate way, regardless of whether Liu Bei wins or loses, you can be invincible.

He can secretly support Liu Bei to resist Cao Cao through Guiyang.At the same time, strengthen Jiangdong's power to prevent future conquests by Cao Cao.

The motor is not in favor of sending troops!
But he agreed and gave Liu Bei a certain amount of help, so that Liu Bei could restrain Cao Cao's troops...

Well, that should be the meaning!The meaning hidden in what Ma Da said just now should be roughly the same.

However, how to proceed requires a more detailed plan.

Sun Quan closed his eyes, and after a while, he suddenly put on his clothes and walked out of the bedroom.

"Come on!"

"Here!"

"Please come here, Zijing, I have something important to discuss with him."
