Chapter 598: Lu Bu's careful thoughts
The potter felt that he had mistaken his younger brother.
Tao Ying is a person who can never be seen through.
When we first met today, all the states that Tao Ying showed were indeed very different from the Tao Ying that the potters knew in the past, and at that time, even made the potters have some illusions, thinking that his younger brother was indeed much more mature than before, much more capable, and much more powerful.
But it is clear that the real situation is not as simple as the potter thinks.
His brother is still such a good calf.
Tao Ying's bones still carry the same share as he did back then...... Stupid and stupid.
What does this child really look like an uncle? Is this also human talk?
Not to mention letting the child's mother hear it, the potter wants to kick him to death now.
The potter suspected that Tao Ying was pretending to be mature when he first saw him, and even reciting words.
On the carriage, Yuan Wan and Mrs. Feng couldn't help but glance at the pottery merchant lightly after listening to Tao Ying's words, and then they couldn't help it, turned their heads and laughed secretly.
"Big brother, look! He's still cheering at me! β
The potter rolled his eyes and reached out to drag Tao Ying away from the carriage.
"Everyone is asleep, and they are still having a good time, hurry up, don't be embarrassed here."
β¦β¦
The next day, the Tao family gathered in the conference hall to discuss the establishment of the emperor.
The time is roughly set after the beginning of spring next year, and the emperor's enthronement ceremony will be carried out, and now the potters need to prepare palaces, temples, high platforms, and other trivial things in Nanchang City.
Although Jiangnan is rich and does not lack materials and manpower, the current season is approaching the end of the year, and it is almost a few months away from the beginning of spring next year.
The potter's subordinates were not idle in Nanchang City, and their subordinates had their own division of labor.
Tao Ying also asked Hua Yan to invite the elders of Baiyue to send people to congratulate him at the enthronement ceremony next year, expressing his submission to the new emperor who is about to be established as an emperor, so as to strengthen his momentum.
And the potter himself is not idle, everyone is in charge of internal affairs, and he needs to be in charge of external affairs.
Before Liu Xi, the Son of Heaven, officially ascended the throne, what the potters needed to do was to communicate with Lu Bu.
If you want to put pressure on Liu Biao, Fu Wan and others who established the emperor in Jiangling, there is no doubt that as Sima Yi said, it is necessary to jointly suppress Lu Bu and Sun Ce in Huaidi at this moment.
Some time ago, the two of them fought with Huang Zu, although they captured some states and counties, but the progress was not rapid.
Lu Bujun and Sun Cejun are both strong soldiers, it stands to reason that it shouldn't be like this, how can Huang Zu sacrifice his own shortcomings, learn from the strengths of the other, and defend very well.
He asked the soldiers of Jiangxia County to control the waterways and wharves and ferries, and gathered the warships, tightly controlled the main waterways, and sent out the warships, and the waterways marched together, blocking LΓΌ Bu and Sun Ce from his place of governance.
Huainan is a rich land, when Yuan Shu killed Yangzhou Thorn Shiwen, occupy Shouchun, at that time Jianghuai was densely populated, grain and grass were abundant, and there were many warships, which was very rich.
But it's a pity that no matter how rich a family is, it can't withstand the scourge of a loser.
Yuan Shu is a vain person, and he wants to compete with Yuan Shao everywhere, so since he occupied Huainan, he was extravagant and promiscuous, and he was expropriated and expropriated, making the Jianghuai region dilapidated, the people starved to death, and the people were separated.
In addition, Yuan Shu did not know the destiny of heaven and forcibly competed with the pottery merchants, and he was still unrepentant after repeated defeats at his hands.
When Chen Wen, the original Yangzhou assassin, was alive, the warship wealth accumulated was either damaged and lost after several fierce battles between Yuan Shu and the potters, or they were confiscated by the potters.
The people of Huainan also migrated to Jinling City or Hangzhou City in a large way, resulting in a huge population loss in the originally rich Huainan land.
And Lu Bu and Sun Ce took over such a mess under such circumstances.
As long as the population is properly managed and appropriate policies are formulated, the losses can be recovered sooner or later with the foundation of the Jianghuai land, but the warships cannot be conjured out of thin air without the right financial resources.
The number of warships and supporting facilities of Sun Ce and Lu Bu can only be described in one sentence.
Fighters in the garbage, no one.
This is because of the short legs in this army, Lu Bu and Sun Ce's strategy of expanding their territory to Jiangxia, and they were blocked by Huang Zu in a daze.
Sun Ce couldn't eat for several days because of this, and his mouth was full of bubbles.
If you can't kill Huang Zu to avenge your father and Sun Jian, not to mention that you can't take a Huang Zu by joining forces with Lu Bu, it would be too embarrassing to spread it.
But the problem is that in the absence of a warship of the right size, they do have naturally short legs.
Seeing that at the end of the year, Zhang Xian, who rebelled in the south of Jingzhou, temporarily withdrew his troops, and Lu Bu and Sun Ce, who were fighting Liu Biao with Zhang Xian, also temporarily withdrew their troops to rest because of the current situation.
And the potter is taking advantage of the current juncture to send people to communicate with these two tiger generals, and take advantage of the matter of the new Son of Heaven to win more benefits in the hands of these two people.
Although the potters supported Sun Ce and Lu Bu back then, the potters felt that Sun Ce and himself were still not close enough, and the two had a gap back then, even if Sun Ce had grown up and understood personnel over the years, but the potters felt that they were still not too good with him.
Hit the first time I saw the year and felt that I didn't deal with the people, I hope it will be good in the future, and the poor relationship is a lifelong thing, and I can't change it, this is called fate.
Therefore, the potter still planned to start with Lu Bu first. Although Lu Bu has a hatred for winning Ferrari with himself, after all, it is an acquired discord that can be improved.
β¦β¦
Jiujiang County, Shouchun City.
The land of Jianghuai has always been divided by Sun Ce and Lu Bu, and Lu Bu is in charge of Jiujiang and Lu'an.
Compared with Sun Ce, it was far more difficult for Lu Bu's subordinates to govern than Sun Ce.
After all, Sun Ce is the son of Sun Jian, and with Zhou Yu and other sons of the two generations as assistants, whether it is to obtain the support of the family in the local area or to accommodate the talents of the Shi clan, he is far better than Lu Bu.
Lu Bu's subordinates, except for Chen Gong, were all the heroes of Bingzhou who followed him back then, and those people were all veterans who fought on the battlefield all year round, killing people one by one, but if they were to govern a land of thousands of miles...... I'm afraid it's enough to choke.
At the level of these barbarians, let alone governing a county, it is enough for them to govern a community.
Today, Sun Gan, the special envoy of Xuzhou, came to meet Lu Bu on the order of the Taifu potter, and presented him with gifts, expressing condolences on behalf of the potter.
Since the generals of Bingzhou withdrew their troops from Jiangxia, there was no battle during this time, so they were all very idle, and they lived very chicly, and they had nothing to do but drink.
The same goes for Lu Bu.
Lord Wenhou is also idle day by day, drinking wine and eating meat all day long, and has a very comfortable life.
But it may also be because Shu Shuang is too hard, and when he is middle-aged, Lu Bu actually began to get rich.
Not only did the double lower shell come out, but the original abdominal muscles also became a small belly, and a cold face actually became fleshy, looking round and bulging, and the edges and corners were all gone.
Sun Qian had previously visited Lu Bu as an envoy for the potter, but when he saw it this time, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and blurted out on the spot.
"Wen Hou, why did you become like this?"
As soon as Lu Bu heard Sun Qian's words, his face suddenly sank.
What kind of envoy is this surnamed Tao? So can't speak! It's infuriating.
Who's fat?
"Eat! How? Lu Bu gritted his teeth.
After Sun Gan subconsciously blurted out his words, he regretted a little in his heart, this broken mouth, but he offended Lu Bu by not opening the door for a while.
He hurriedly took the words back: "I haven't seen you for many years, I can't imagine that Wen Hou has become more and more blessed than back then, and his body is more powerful than back then, it is really not less than it was back then, it is really gratifying."
When Lu Bu heard this, he couldn't help laughing.
This guy is also broad-minded, Sun Gan praised him for two sentences, and he forgot about the offense of the right talent.
"Mr. Sun is worthy of being an important person around Mrs. Tao, and he really has a vision, don't look at General Ben who seems to be fat, but in fact, he is even more brave than he was back then...... Actually, I have all muscles, and I don't have any fat at all. β
After that, Lu Bu patted his stomach with a smile, his stomach fell one after another, and the big meat was so big that he couldn't even hang up on his lion belt.
Sun Qian's eyelids jumped.
is a good number one general in the world, and he actually became like this, which is really grinding over the years.
