Emperor Road of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 348 Thunder on the Ground

In the second year of Jian'an, a strange phenomenon occurred in the dying Han Dynasty.Its frontiers, such as Liangzhou and Youzhou, are full of wars and wars, but the four prefectures of Yan, Xu, Yang and Jing have fallen into a strange calm.

This calm is indeed strange, it is the tranquility before the storm, like an undercurrent under the surface of the water.

Although the princes of the four states did not fight, they were all preparing for a battle, or a small-scale battle.Like Lu Bu, although he stabilized the situation in Xuzhou, he still could not completely remove Liu Bei.Liu Bei not only confronted him, but also often sent troops to harass him.

Another example is Sun Ce, although he did not send troops to deal with Liu Yu immediately, he was actively preparing for the war.On the one hand, he tried his best to wipe out the resistance forces under his rule; on the other hand, he strongly supported Zhang Zhao's work, which gradually stabilized Jiangdong.I believe that after he stabilizes Jiangdong, he will definitely point his sword at Liu Yu and never stop dying.

Speaking of Sun Ce, one has to talk about Guo Jia who came to Yangzhou.Historically, Sun Ce died at the hands of assassins, but judging from Liu Yu's experience, Sun Ce probably died of Cao Cao's conspiracy.That's right, when Cao Cao wanted to fight Yuan Shao, he really couldn't keep Sun Ce, and sending someone to assassinate him was undoubtedly the best way.

This time Guo Jia went south with the idea of ​​killing Liu Yu and Sun Ce.But it's a pity that Liu Yu didn't kill him after all.Liu Yu failed to kill, it stands to reason that Guo Jia would have killed Sun Ce more carefully, otherwise one of them failed, wouldn't he be ashamed?But Guo Jia didn't do this, Liu Yu didn't die, and he gave up killing Sun Ce.

Ordinary people may not understand it, thinking that Guo Jia dare not deal with Sun Ce.But when Cao Cao heard the news, he laughed and understood what Guo Jia meant.In fact, Guo Jia's meaning is not difficult to understand, it is nothing more than keeping Sun Ce to contain Liu Yu.

Sun Ce and Lu Bu withdrew their minions and lurked in Jiangdong and Xuzhou, so Liu Yu naturally had no fighting.For Liu Biao, such a good old man, it is absolutely impossible for him to start a war with Liu Yu.As for Cao Cao, he was very busy and didn't have the energy to deal with Liu Yu at all, otherwise he would not have been able to flatter and kill Liu Yu, but would have personally led the army to attack Liu Yu.

It has to be said that although the peaceful second year of Jian'an was an illusion, it gave Liu Yu a buffer time.One spring and autumn not only made Huainan a bumper harvest, but also made Liu Yu get rid of the embarrassment of food shortage; it also made Huainan a big city, and everything was on the right track.

Although he was just on the right track, there was no other way, and the one-year period was cut off after all, but at least he could support Liu Yu to fight.If there is no such buffer year, Liu Yu may be defeated in the first battle.

"Yuanzhi, this spring, you and I will have a good harvest in this city. Haha, look at this golden area, it really is a bumper harvest."

The busy summer is over, and everything is on the right track, Liu Yu and others are gradually relaxing.No, they joined hands with the city leaders to watch the people harvesting the crops with smiles.

Xu Shu was more composed than before, standing there with a sense of majesty, presumably because of more than a year of training, "My lord, these days, the officials in the village should pay attention, otherwise it will be bad if it rains suddenly."

"Well, don't worry about this, Bohou will pay attention to it. By the way, Yuan Zhi, your mother is in good health." Liu Yu is also more imposing than before, looking like a dragon and a tiger.

Hearing that Liu Yu cared about his mother, Xu Shu couldn't help showing a smile on his face, and said: "Young master has a heart, and my mother's health is much better. I think it's just that I felt unwell when I first came here, but now it's not a serious problem."

Xu's mother was taken to Shangcai a long time ago, then sent to Gebei, and then sent to Shouchun.The old man couldn't stand the bumps several times, so he was always sick.

In fact, not only Xu's mother came to Shouchun, but Liu Han, Zhen Mi, Zhao Hongyi and the families of the generals have all moved to Shouchun.Even the common people who accompanied Shangcai at the beginning also moved here.

"It's fine. If there's anything wrong with my aunt, I'm guilty." Liu Yu said some gossip, but couldn't help but talk about the business again, "Yuanzhi, how is the reorganization of the armies?"

"My lord, this matter has already been completed, but because of the running-in, it has not been officially ended." At this time, Xu Shu was familiar with the military camp. "In addition, the defense change has also been completed along with the reorganization. General Taishi Still guarding the Lujiang River, the difference is that Ruxukou has arranged for General Gan Ning."

"Hehe, we should let Xingba come to this navy, and we should build our own navy, otherwise what will we do if we capture Jiangdong in the future. Yuanzhi, let someone tell Xingba that I asked him to build a good one." Saijun, otherwise you will be questioning him." Liu Yu still attaches great importance to Suijun, after all, he must deal with Sun Ce.

Xu Shu was interrupted by Liu Yu, so he stopped to remember Liu Yu's words, and then continued: "General Xu and General Zhao, one is in Linhuai, and the other is in the front line of Shouchun. They are as stable as Mount Tai. As for Pingchun Shiyang, there are General Wei and General Xiahou, while Ge Pei was taken over by General Chen. Such a defense is as solid as gold."

Even Wei Yan was also called a general by Xu Shu. It can be seen that after Liu Yu's promotion, not only the civil servants like Bu Ying were promoted, but also the generals like Wei Yan were promoted.For example, Wei Yan is now a veritable general. Although he is only a general with a miscellaneous name, he is still a general after all.Another example is Xu Chu and others who were generals before, and they were also promoted to senior miscellaneous generals.

"Yuan Zhi, you, when did you learn to brag about yourself?" This was of course Liu Yu's joke, so he still doesn't believe Xu Shu.

While the two of them were talking, Lu Su suddenly rushed over in a hurry, and it seemed that something really happened.

"Zijing, what's the matter?" Liu Yu stopped talking with Xu Shu, turned around and asked in doubt.

Lu Su was a little out of breath, but he still said quickly: "My lord, the envoy from Zhang Xiu asked to see me, and said I have something to discuss with you."

"Oh, the envoy of Zhang Xiu, come at this time?" Liu Yu's eyes lit up first, and then he fell into deep thought, wondering why Zhang Xiu sent an envoy here now.

Unable to figure out why, Liu Yu didn't continue to think about it, but jokingly said to Xu Shu and Lu Su, "Yuanzhi and Zijing, follow me to meet the envoy and see what tricks he has."

"Cough cough, young master, Zhang Xiu sent envoys here, thinking it's nothing more than a matter of alliance. Now, young master, Cao Cao is not in a hurry, but Zhang Xiu is still threatened by Cao Cao from time to time..."

Before Xu Shu finished speaking, Lu Su showed a smile, accepted Xu Shu's words, and said, "What Zhang Xiu wants is nothing but the support of the young master."

After finishing speaking, he and Xu Shu looked at each other with smiles in their eyes, as if they were confidantes.

After hearing the two of them finished speaking, Liu Yu showed a strange smile on his face, and said: "No matter what, since General Zhang sent an envoy, I still have to treat him politely, otherwise if it spreads, won't people say that I am Shouchun is rude."
