"What do you say? Liu Bei surrendered to Xu Tian? ”

Koto.

Wuchang, in King Wu's mansion, Sun Quan looked at Lu Xun in front of him in shock.

This news is simply incredible to him, who is Liu Bei? actually surrendered to Xu Tian directly.

Sun Quan instinctively thought that Han Chu would unite directly.

If that's really the case, it's bad news for Koto.

As if he understood what Sun Quan thought, Lu Xun immediately clenched his fists and spoke.

"The king doesn't have to worry that the two countries of Han and Chu will unite..."

"How?" Sun Quan stood up directly.

"The king, please think about it, it is impossible for Liu Bei to really surrender to the king of Chu. Then Xu Tian had only two options in the face of Liu Bei's surrender.

Or, kill Liu Bei directly, the most direct consequence of this is that Yizhou will be completely offended, and the two families will become mortal enemies.

With Xu Tianzhi's cleverness, he would never do this!

In addition, there is only one possibility left, that is, he will use Liu Bei to get unimaginable benefits from Yizhou.

This is beneficial to them now, and there is no harm to them, so according to the following point of view, there is only trading between them, not cooperation.

I'm afraid this is also the reason why Liu Bei chose to surrender! ”

Lu Xun's analysis dispelled Sun Quan's concerns.

But immediately he thought of something else.

"That Cao Zhen's father and son also fell into the hands of Xu Tian, and in terms of the current situation, they are certain to die.

In this way, the war between Chu and Wei will continue, and it will be more intense, then our opportunity will come! ”

"King Shengming.." Lu Xun smiled and bowed to Sun Quan...

...

Since Chaisang was taken by Xu Tian, it has become an important hub of Jingzhou's commercial network, just like Xiakou.

In just a few years, the speed of development here has surpassed that of almost all castles in Koto.

In these years, there have been wealthy businessmen from Jiangdong who have come here with their families.

Chaisang City has become a second merchant's paradise.

At the beginning, when Xu Huang was sent here by Xu Tian, he didn't take this place seriously.

In his opinion, this is just the gateway to Jiangdong, a strategic place, and it only needs to be guarded.

It's just that as time went by, his shock never stopped.

Xu Huang discovered for the first time that the people could still be so rich.

It's a simple transfer of the goods a few times, and a lot of money will come to you.

The people became rich, and the wealthy merchants were more numerous, and naturally the army began to grow stronger.

The current Xu Huang can say that his army is the best army in the Jiangdong territory.

Whoever disagrees, you can come to the war and try it.

This kind of strong self-confidence comes not only from the strength of the army, but also from the prosperity of the people.

As long as the people have money, the army will be strong from the third.

For this point, Xu Huang has had a deep understanding since he came here.

I don't know when it began, as long as there was any need for the army, the rich merchants in the city were more active than anyone else.

They'd rather send it than send it less.

It's like the good wine that Xu Huang uses to entertain Huang Zhong now, which was donated by the wealthy merchants in the city.

In Chaisang City, in the General's Mansion, Xu Huang was welcoming Huang Zhong's arrival with a table full of sumptuous wine and food.

"General Huang. It's been a long time since you've been here, and you're going to have to drink whatever you say today! ”

After Xu Huang personally poured a glass of wine for Huang Zhong, he said with a laugh.

Huang Zhong, who was already full of white hair, agreed boldly.

"Okay, Gongming, I'll listen to you today, but we have to get down to business first!"

Xu Huang put the hand of the wine jug for a moment, and turned his head to look at Huang Zhong suspiciously.

Maybe it's because it's been quiet here for too long, and Xu Huang can't wait for something big to do.

Otherwise, he felt like he was about to rust.

"Come on, look at this..."

Huang Zhongshen took out a secret letter from his arms and handed it to Xu Huang.

Putting the flask aside, Xu Huang wiped his hands on his body, and then opened the envelope.

After a few breaths, he took a deep breath and put the secret letter away.

"I thought these rumors were some kind of strategy of the king, but I didn't expect that Liu Bei and Cao Zhen were really arrested by the king!"

Xu Huang sat opposite Huang Zhong very excitedly, with a look of shock on his face.

"Yes, when the old man received this secret letter, he also stayed for a long time before he recovered!"

As he spoke, Huang Zhong picked up the wine bottle in front of him, raised his head and drank it all.

In fact, not only them, but whoever hears the news is unlikely to believe it.

Liu Bei and Cao Zhen's fame is too great, and being able to make these two people surrender at the same time is impossible in the eyes of the world.

"That's what the old general just said?"

Xu Huang picked up the wine jug again, poured another glass for Huang Zhong and said.

"Not only that, but now that the king has won such a major victory, the problem arises.

Now the king is in Chang'an, clamping down Liu Bei and Cao Pi, and the king is also lacking skills at the same time.

In such a situation, who does it advantageous? ”

"The old general is saying... Sun quan? ”

Xu Huang immediately understood what Huang Zhong meant.

Yes, the two of them are now in control of Jiangdong's life.

Most of Jingzhou's troops were used by Xu Tian on the Chang'an front, so now they are here again, and it has become the most dangerous place again.

"According to the old man, now Sun Quan may have begun to move!

This is a perfect opportunity for them, otherwise they will never have another chance to wait for the king's victorious return! ”

Huang Zhong's expression was very solemn, he had thought of this situation a long time ago, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.

"So, according to the old general's meaning, what should we do now?

Anyway, I've already thought about it, no matter what, I have to hold this place and wait until the king returns! ”

"Gongming, do you think Sun Quan will only think of Xia Kou and Chaisang?"

Huang Zhong's slightly chilling words immediately woke up Xu Huang, and he glared and muttered.

"Got them to think of.... Jingzhou! ”

If it is really as Huang Zhong said, Sun Quan's purpose will be Jingzhou, then this matter will be serious.

There must be no problems in Jingzhou, otherwise Xu Tian will become a lost dog, and even the old nest will be copied.

And Xu Huang suddenly thought of a more serious problem.

Both Xiakou and Chaisang were hubs of Jingzhou's commercial network, where a large number of wealthy merchants and money gathered.

Once these are in the hands of Sun Quan, isn't it equivalent to giving the other party an inexhaustible money bag?

"Gongming, do you remember that before the king left, he wrote you and me a letter?"

Just when Xu Huang was more and more frightened the more he thought about it, Huang Zhong suddenly said...
