Chapter 364

"Second brother, Brother Buchang sent someone to pick us up, there must be his deep meaning. According to his words, if we cooperate with him in this crusade and be more active in Xiangyang, we will definitely be able to win together! Liu Shang seems to want to avenge his father more than his second brother. Of course, this is a troubled time, and only the father's identity can add points to the two brothers.

Now Liu Cong wants to take advantage of the identities of the two brothers, and he, Liu Shang, doesn't want to miss such a good opportunity. That's right, from his father Liu Dai and father Liu Xian, they are all pastors of a state! The world is still the Han family, and the country is still the Liu family. Liu Bei has used such an identity as a clan relative of the Han family, and Liu Cong has been using it. Why can't their brothers, the wicked?

Just when the two brothers were discussing, the order of the imperial court arrived, and Liu Shang was promoted to Wuchang Order! This Wuchang City, Liu Shang once passed by, although it is not as prosperous as Xiangyang, but the area is larger than Chaisang. This Liu Cong really didn't break his promise!

"Lord Liu, the prime minister is invited!" The herald was on two errands, and he read the decree and asked someone to do it together.

……、

"Prime Minister Liu Shang!" Although Liu Cong privately asked Liu Shang's brothers to call him the eldest brother, in the Prime Minister's Mansion Chamber, Liu Shang did not dare to be rude.

"Ziyu, Wuchang is adjacent to Yuzhang, you have to work hard. originally wanted to directly promote you to Yuzhang Taishou, but some people in the court refused. Besides, you are still young, and Yuzhang is under the control of Sun Quan, so I hope you will make achievements after you arrive in Wuchang, so you can convince the public! You can rest assured, as long as your merits are enough, the prime minister will definitely recommend it to the imperial court as soon as possible...... By the way, if you have enough qualifications, do you dare to go to Yuzhang to take office? ”

"Thank you Prime Minister for cultivating! Do everything according to the Prime Minister's orders!" Liu Shang is a smart man, among the three brothers, he is the youngest but the smartest. Liu Cong was going to promote him so soon, naturally not because of any merit, but because of his special status. Yuzhang is too guarded, Liu Shang has never thought about it before. But now that Liu Cong is preparing for the Eastern Crusade, he must find an excuse.

If Sun Quan recognized the Xiangyang court, then it would not be too much for Liu Cong to take Liu Shangzi as a county guard to inherit his father's title. If Sun Quan agreed, Liu Shangjin County would definitely fall to Liu Cong without hesitation. If Sun Quan does not agree, he will inevitably be rejected by the public opinion of the imperial court, and he will also offend Liu Shang.

Of course Sun Quan will not agree! So if Liu Shang dares to go to Yuzhang recklessly, it will definitely be a return. When the princes were in power, the kings often preferred to seal their subordinates as parents of the territory occupied by the enemy, as a sign of their determination to unify China. It's like Liu Cong is now the pastor of Jingzhou, but Cao Cao has the history of Jingzhou Thorn, Yangzhou Thorn History, etc., but these officials can't take office.

Liu Cong's promise to Liu Shang to be an empty county guard also made Liu Shang understand that there is no free lunch in the world, and if necessary, Liu Shang will even put himself in danger! Of course, the main purpose of Liu Cong's move was to provoke Sun Quan!

As an ally, if there is no unpleasantness, Liu Cong really has no reason to send troops.

Liu Shang knew that Liu Cong was really testing himself. I went to Wuchang to prepare for going to Yuzhang, Jiangxia originally bordered Yuzhang, and Wuchang was closer to Chaisang. Liu Shang's mind was spinning quickly, he needed to think carefully before answering, although he thanked Liu Cong for his cultivation for the first time, if it ended here, Liu Cong would think that Liu Shang was willing to go to work!

Of course, Liu Shang's mood is complicated, and Liu Cong's doing this is not insidious, although he wants to use Liu Shang as cannon fodder, but he is honest and honest. If Liu Shang agreed, even if there was any accident in the future, his second brother and other family members would definitely be treated well by Liu Cong. If it refuses, then the Wuchang Order will come to an end. It is impossible for Liu Cong to hand over such an important grain production and naval army to a distant relative.

"Shang Chengmeng will not give up on the prime minister, my second brother and I have today is completely given by the prime minister, not to mention Yuzhang, even if the prime minister asks Shang Ling to be a county guard, Shang will definitely do everything possible to take office!"

"Well, if Sun Quan knew your identity, he would definitely try his best to obstruct it. Therefore, this matter should not be rushed. However, after you go to Wuchang, you must use your connections as soon as possible to gather together Lingzun's old department and some people who rebelled against Sun Quan......"

"Xia Guan understands!"

Liu Shang went to Wuchang to take up his post, and Liu Cong's layout in the cultural attack on Jiangdong was basically completed. Jin Yiwei has infiltrated Wu County and other core areas of Sun Quan's rule, and continues to collect intelligence and assist Lu Liuming.

And Lu Liuming sneaked back to Qu'a with a few cronies, and he used this as a base camp for the battle. The mission is to see the movements of the Sun clan, and at the same time continue to spread rumors that have been prepared for a long time. For example, Sun Ce died strangely, such as Zhou Yu died......

Liu Shang, on the other hand, began to gather Liu Xuan's old troops in Wuchang, intending to disperse Sun Quan's forces. The soldiers are divided into three ways, each with its own plan! Liu Cong has made up his mind to capture Jiangdong.

Let's talk about the journey alone. With the cooperation of Jinyiwei, they set off from Wuchang and arrived at Chaisang along the waterway, stopping for a while and then going down the river...... By the time they came to Qu'a, Jiangdong's rumors about Sun Ce's strange death had already spread!

That's what people are all about, in the past, when they fought every year, the rumors definitely didn't spread so quickly. There have been almost two years of peace now. Even bandits rarely appear. So when they heard that Sun Ce's death was strange, many gossip doors suddenly came to their senses!

He personally experienced the battle more than ten years ago, so the description of the details is very detailed. The course and outcome of the battle are reasonable, and there is no room for others to disbelieve them.

Yes, Sun Ce himself is a little overlord, a Jiangdong Tiger. And at that time, there were more than a dozen Jiangdong fierce generals beside him. Just three Xuchang's doormen can kill Sun Ce, who is quite skilled, in front of more than a dozen Jiangdong?

At that moment, someone was already seriously injured, which shows that Sun Ce and Xuchang's disciples had a fierce fight! Moreover, the fighting time was long enough, and the fierce generals behind Sun Ce had time to detect the abnormality before Sun Ce was injured and surround Sun Ce in the center. But no one seems to do it! It's worth suspecting.

When the news reached Sun Quan's ears, Sun Quan was also shocked, he was not at the scene of his brother's death. But it is not too much to say that Sun Ce died strangely, but it is definitely not as rumored. At least the Sun clan has gained a firm foothold in Jiangdong, and the best medical officer should be able to get it. With Sun Ce's strong body, even if he was stabbed by the enemy, he should recover quickly with the treatment of the medical officers!

Of course, Sun Quan would not suspect that he was doing tricks, but now that he thinks about it, could it be that there was something wrong with the medical officer at that time? Thinking of this, Sun Quan broke out in a cold sweat! If this is the case, then those who know will definitely be the first to think after hearing the rumors whether it was arranged by Sun Quan!

Sun Quan is very depressed, someone is more depressed than him. Revisiting the old place, full of emotion. Although the rumors spread quite smoothly, the thought that he was only a stone's throw away from his father's killer was just a stone's throw away, but he couldn't act rashly, and he felt very aggrieved. However, Lu Liuming still held back, he knew that Liu Cong's expedition to the east was almost ready.

So his wish now is to look forward to Liu Cong's army breaking through Wu County as soon as possible and capturing Sun Quan alive! It's not necessarily a bad thing for people to be worried about it, but it's definitely not a good thing for Sun Quan to be remembered this time.

Not only the people in the county, but also the county lieutenant generals and some low-level civil and military officials in Jiangdong who did not know the truth muttered in private......

Everyone heard the rumors, and Sun Shao naturally heard about it soon. At first he was adamantly unconvinced. But after continuous processing and interpretation, the rumors have reached the point where they can be true.

Sun Quan may not be able to do the same thing as killing his brother and father, but if his father Sun Ce's life hangs by a thread...... Sun Shao, who grew up, knew that his father Sun Ce and his uncle-in-law Zhou Yu and Wen Taowu were far superior to Sun Quan. Not to mention the bones. Sun Ce is known as the little overlord, and Zhou Yu led the troops at the age of eighteen...... Why did two people with strong abilities and good health die early?

Sun Shao, who couldn't think of an answer, didn't dare to ask those famous generals in Jiangdong. Although most of them were their own father's subordinates. But after all, it is now the uncle who is in power. If Sun Shao asks about the cause of his father's death, I am afraid that Sun Quan will know it in less than half a day, then Sun Shao will definitely be very passive, and his uncle, who has always been kind, may strengthen his vigilance and even cut the grass to the roots......

Of course, Sun Shao was even more worried that this was the enemy's conspiracy, and if he went to inquire everywhere at this time, he would undoubtedly announce to the world: Sun Ce's death is suspicious! Just fall for the enemy's tricks! Sun Shao is not stupid at this point.

No one else can ask, but your own mother can. Sun Shao thought about it again and again and decided to find an opportunity to ask his mother in detail about what happened back then. Sun Shao's mother, Sun Ce's wife Qiao Shi (Da Qiao), heard her son ask about her husband's death, and immediately taught Sun Shao a hard lesson!

"This is obviously a discordant ploy of the enemy, dividing your uncle and nephew. When your father died, he was only the lord of Yangzhou, and he was not the prime minister or the son of heaven who had the power in the world. And after the scuffle at that time, the situation was very unclear, even if your uncle had that mind, how could the generals beside your father be fighting for the tiger? ”

"The child is wrong, please let the mother calm her anger!" Although Sun Shao was very dissatisfied with his mother's explanation, he obediently admitted his mistake and immediately got up and went out. Of course, he knew that the virtuous mother was trying to prevent his uncle and nephew from turning against him, and he didn't want to mention the events of that year at all.

But Sun Shao is a young man with strong curiosity, not to mention that this matter is also related to the mystery of his father's life and death. Sun Quan was naturally unwilling. If it doesn't work clearly, then it can only be carried out secretly, from the side, and the micro-service private interview......

Sun Shao, who had made up his mind, soon appeared on the street of Wuxian County. In this era, the most suitable place to inquire about the news is undoubtedly the tavern. Sun Shao entered a tavern very casually, and this Sun Shao was already half a guy, so the guys in the tavern didn't stop Sun Shao.
