Chapter 203: An important town in Jiangbei

The lonely sail is far away and the blue sky is endless, and only the Yangtze River skyline can be seen. -----------Tang Dynasty. Li Bai "Yellow Crane Tower to Meng Haoran's Guangling"

It is said that the special envoy of the Qinglong Army, Bu Ou Buzi Mountain, sat firmly on the Diaoyu Tai, coarse tea and light rice, and finally waited for Huang Zu's son Huang Shot nine days later.

Huang Jie came to test it, wanting to see the chips in Chen Long's hand and the conditions proposed, so he specially brought his friend You Heng. You Heng was originally from the northern plains, and he was very famous. Some people recommended him to be an official with the magistrate, but they all disliked him for being too arrogant, and he was sent back and forth, and he didn't want to lose a reputation for killing virtuous people in his own hands. You Heng wandered around like this, plus traveled to the mountains and rivers, and recently arrived in Jingzhou. Liu Biao and the scholars of Jingzhou had heard and admired Youheng's talent and reputation, and after he came, they treated him with great respect, and the articles and speeches he wrote could not have been settled without Youheng's opinion. Liu Biao once drafted the music with several literati, everyone did their best, when You Heng happened to go out, when he came back, he saw the music they had drafted, and in the laughter, he tore off the music and threw it on the ground, and asked for a pen and paper to wave it again, and the words and semantics were very apt and considerable. Liu Biao was very happy on the surface, doubling down on him, but he was not very happy in his heart. Later, You Heng insulted and belittled Liu Biao, Liu Biao felt more and more ashamed and could not tolerate it, remembering that Jiangxia was too protective of Huang Zu's impatient temperament, so he gave You Heng to Huang Zu again.

Huang Zu was also able to treat You Heng well at the beginning. You Heng did the clerical things for Huang Zu, and he handled it very appropriately. Huang Zu always took You Heng's hand and said, "Sir, this is exactly what I want, and it is the same as what I want to say in my heart." "You Heng looks at Huang Zu with Ni's eyes every time, as if to say that you are a big old man.

Huang Zu's eldest son, Huang Jie, has become a particularly close buddy with Youheng. Huang Zu hid for many days, did not see Chen Long's envoy, and was really undecided, not only unwilling to give up Jiang Xia, but also afraid of losing a favorable opportunity to surrender, and was listed by Chen Long as a blacklist that must be eliminated. Today, on the order of my father, I came to test Bu Fei, but I actually wanted to know if I could still be the lord of Jiangxia after surrendering to Long Chen.

Huang shot a little temptation, but he didn't expect that Bu Yu was as stable as Mount Tai, so he asked You Heng to make a bet with Bu Ou, wanting to draw the ground as a prison and trap Bu Yu here, becoming a bargaining weight in Huang Zu's hands to negotiate with Chen Long. Huang Shot took the parrot as the theme, so that they each made a parrot Fu, I thought that You Heng was quick and quick, the first in the world, and it was a matter of minutes to win the step owl, but Unexpectedly, You Heng finished writing a beautiful parrot Fu with a lot of style, and then looked at the step bird, and he had already thrown away the bald pen and looked at You Heng proudly.

Seeing this, You Heng was also secretly frightened, and the two exchanged bamboo rolls and read each other's articles carefully. Huang Jie's face was not good, and when he saw You Heng nodding while reading Bu Fei's article, he didn't wait for the two of them to finish reading it, and raised his voice: "Zishan really deserves his reputation, and he is disrespectful. I think Zishan and Zhengping are both geniuses, and this bet is about winning or losing, so I will stop it. Saying that, Ling Youheng left, and Bu Yu said: "Huang Gongzi is invited!" Zhengping, you and I exchange articles, keep them as a souvenir. Your eyes lit up, and you nodded slightly, which is very rare for the arrogant You Heng.

Huang Shot went out and said loudly to the doorman: "Mr. Zishan wants to go wherever he wants, let him come and go." "After that, I went out with Youheng.

Bu Fei was overjoyed when he heard this, this was the lifting of the ban on himself, that is, he agreed to go to the City Lord's Mansion to meet Huang Zu. It seems that Huang Jie's opinion should be biased towards surrender.

Sure enough, Huang shot back and came to his father's study to meet him, and he did his best to be a bird, and he was not under Youheng. Huang Zu groaned in his heart when he heard this, he didn't expect such a talent to be willing to be subordinate to Chen Long.

Huang Zu, in fact, is also a famous family, and he is not really a big boss. He was originally a member of the Luhuang clan of Jiangxia, and in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the Jiangxia Huang clan was a famous scholar family, that is, the famous minister Huang Xiang clan. It's just that at that time, the Huang family also valued martial arts and light literature, Huang Zu learned martial arts since he was a child, and he also had a big name in Jiangxia when he became an adult. After Liu Biao was appointed as the assassin of Jingzhou, in order to quickly stabilize the situation and reuse the power of local wealthy clans, Huang Zu was recommended, so he was appointed as the Taishou of Jiangxia.

And Liu Biao's control over Jiangxia has always been relatively weak, so Huang Zu has always regarded himself as a local warlord, and he is inseparable from Liu Biao, concentrating on running Jiangxia strongholds. The geographical location of Jiangxia is very important, close to the vast Yangtze River moat, not only militarily established a strong naval army, but also economically controlled the Yangtze River shipping, wharves are lined up, sails are like forests, it can be described as a rolling source of wealth. In the official history, Sun Jian, Sun Ce, and Sun Quan wanted to seize Jiangxia for several generations, but they were shot to death by Huang Zu.

Jiangxia is located in the eastern part of the Jianghan Plain and the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. The Jingjiang section of the Yangtze River and the Han River, the largest tributary of the Yangtze River, traverse the whole territory, dividing the north bank of the Yangtze River into three, forming a pattern of three towns across the river, which was the largest water and land transportation hub in Chinese mainland at that time. At that time, the south of the Yangtze River is expected to be quickly reunified.

Therefore, for Jiangxia, an important town in Jiangbei, Chen Long is bound to win this time.

The Jiangxia local system began in the Western Han Dynasty and was Shaxian County, Jiangxia County. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, successively built the city of the moon and the city of Lushan by the Yangtze River, and built the city of Xiakou in the snake mountain, Huang Zu was the Taishou of Jiangxia, and the county was set up in the "moon city" located in the turtle mountain, and the high place of the turtle mountain on the side of the river of the "moon city" was built by Huang Zu. Looking at the Yangtze River from the castle, the endless horizon, the mist is miserable, the white sails are dotted, the green mountains are like daisies, the scenery is absolutely beautiful, the so-called "lonely sail is far away and the blue sky is exhausted, only the Yangtze River skyline is seen." ”

The foot owl and the servant are no longer grounded, along the main street to the castle at the height of the moon city, along the road is really prosperous, the goods from all directions are piled up, and the characters of various local dialects are mixed, showing the true color of Kyushu's thoroughfare.

Come to the foot of Turtle Mountain, see a grand bluestone castle, standing on the top of Turtle Mountain. Bu Fei and so on, the scenery is beautiful, is lingering when he is forgetting to return, intercepted by a team of guards on the mountain road, Bu Yu said unhurriedly: "I am Lingling special envoy Buzi Mountain." Please report to Huang Taishou, and say that I have something important to see. ”

The compound in the first half of the castle was where Huang Zu usually worked, and after receiving the reward from Huang Ji, Huang Zu was quite upset. In the face of the merger of the strong, Huang Zu originally intended to defend his position in Jiangxia to the death, but in the face of the famous Chen Long, Liu Biao is still not an opponent, does he really want to break the net?

When his subordinates came up, Huang Zu ordered someone to set up a knife and axe hand in the lobby, and he wore it all over his body, and brought Huang Jie and You Heng to meet Bu Yu. Bu Fei looked at the bright steel knife of the knife and axe hand, stood with a smile, and said proudly: "Huang Taishou, do you want to take my head today?" A knife is enough. ”

Huang Zu originally wanted to get off the horse, but he didn't expect that Bu Yu was not afraid of death at all. Huang Zu's face was a little unbearable, so he had to order the sword and axe hand to retreat. Bu Fei waited for the knife and axe hand to walk cleanly, and then bowed and said, "Huang Taishou still wants to listen to what he wants." Since this is the case, I will analyze the benefits and disadvantages for Taishou. ”

"My lord Chen Long has always had the ambition of unifying the world, not for himself, but for the people to live and work in peace and contentment as soon as possible, I am afraid that Huang Taishou has also heard of his concept of political consultation. For this ideal, my lord has been looking for like-minded people in the world. Now, my lord has a strong army, and the unification of Jingzhou is only his first step, and Liu Biao can't stop it, let alone the general? ”

"Today, although my Buzi Mountain is not well-known, I still come at the risk of death, and I am willing to dedicate myself to the ideals of the Lord. If Huang Taishou can't see it, please take my head; But I believe that the head of the Taishou will soon be retrieved for me by my lord. With that, he sneered slightly, and looked at Huang Zu who was seated without fear.

Huang Jie said angrily: "Buzi Mountain! How dare you be so rude! ”

Huang Zu raised his hand to stop Huang Jie, sneered, looked at Bu Yu and said, "I have seen a lot of madmen who are not afraid of death, if it weren't for Xiao'er coming back and saying that you have some talent, I wouldn't have seen you." Since you're here, what kind of ideal ideas or whatever, it's too far away and spacey, why not say something practical. Your lord Chen Long, what does he want to do with Jiang Xia? What if it falls, and what if it doesn't?"

Bu Fei nodded and said, "Huang Taishou is still willing to listen to me, and he is indeed a wise general." My lord-in-law holds the second son of Liu in Jingzhou, and Liu Biao has promised to exchange Jiangxia for Liu Cong, as evidenced by letters. As he spoke, he handed the letter to Huang Jie, Huang Zu took it, read it roughly, and his expression darkened.

Bu Yu observed the words and continued: "If Taishou does not surrender, now my Changsha naval army is in Dongting, and the newly designed war ships will attack the Yangtze River at any time, and Liu Biao will also raise troops to cooperate, not Taishou can resist, and when the time comes, Taishou and the people in the city, and the Yueyue Castle will be burned together, which is not what I want to see." ”

"If the general is willing to surrender, then our lord must use people without doubt, the general can be the chief general of the Jiangxia Yangtze River Water Army of the Qinglong Army, and Huang Zhong and Huang Hansheng jointly guard Jiangxia, but they need to move out of this castle and set up another general's mansion. Taishou and Huang Hansheng are the same commanders of the same army, and they will never break their promises. ”

When Huang Zu heard this, his brows tightened, and he only listened to Bu Fei continue: "As long as my lord Huang Taishou is sincere in taking refuge, he can ensure that the Huang family is still a Jiangxia clan. But in the future, the Lord and the people will drive the world, and Jiangxia will naturally have other generals to guard it. ”

Huang Zu frowned, stood up and waved his hand: "I know what your lord means, but if I surrender without a fight, won't I make the world laugh!" Go back and let your lord let the horses come!" My Jiangxia Navy may not be afraid of you. ”

Before Bu Fei could speak, suddenly a voice sounded: "Huang Zu, you dead old man!" I think the conditions are good, why are you still so stubborn! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was dumbfounded, wanting to know who was so bold, and listening to the next breakdown.
