Chapter 141: The Messenger
Sixteen years of Jian'an.
Cao Cao adopted the advice of the strategist Jia Xu and skillfully used the discord strategy. The Ma-Han coalition army was broken, and its troops were directed at Hanzhong.
When the news came, there was chaos in Hanzhong. Its owner, Zhang Lu, was frightened and turned around and ran away, without the slightest hint of resistance.
And the one who is most afraid is Liu Zhang, the owner of Yizhou.
He and Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao are worthy of being relatives in the same room, and both of them are also people without any ambitions.
They just want to keep their own one-third of an acre of land.
It's a pity that they are in this troubled world. As the saying goes, the tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop.
None of this is something they can control!
Step by step, things developed as Xu Tian expected.
Liu Zhang finally adopted the advice of the strategist Fa Zheng and welcomed Liu Bei into Sichuan!
……
Jingzhou is recuperating after this period of time, and everything is becoming a reality according to Xu Tian's vision.
A workshop called "Sweet Factory" for making cane sugar was quickly built.
Sugarcane grown in large quantities is transported in a steady stream.
Jingzhou, no! The first sugar workshop in the whole world began to officially operate...
On the other hand, the professional team led by Zhao Si has also achieved good results.
Although compared to the real effect of Xu Tian's imagination, this is still too far away.
But as it stands, it's pretty good.
The harvest per acre was more than one-third of what it had been.
Such achievements are enough to be proud of the world.
Just when Jingzhou was developing drastically and the people were well-fed.
Xu Tian received the news that Liu Bei had entered Yizhou.
Guan Yu stayed in Xiakou, guarding their only place to stay.
Xu Tian walked back and forth above the lobby with his hands behind his back.
He knew that Cao Cao's suggestion would definitely not be adopted, and the reason why he did this was because he wanted to find out Cao Cao's attitude towards him.
Xu Tian wanted to know where Cao Cao's tolerance limit was.
Knowing this, he can understand what to do next.
But now it seems that his expectations have been met.
As for Liu Bei, Xu Tian did not send troops to contain and block him.
Of course, he understands very well that he can't stop it!
The most important thing is that this is what Xu Tian wants to happen.
Only when he is truly in the situation of the Three Kingdoms will he have his own chances.
That's why he won't upset the balance.
Shen Du and Pang Tong, who were standing under the hall, kept staring at Xu Tian who was walking back and forth.
Of course, they wouldn't know what Xu Tian was thinking, they just thought that he was thinking about the current situation.
That's why the two of them are here.
"What do you think about the current situation?" After a long time, Xu Tian's question echoed in the silent hall.
"Your Lord!" Pang Tong took a step forward and spoke first. "In my opinion, we should send troops at once. Attack Natsuguchi! ”
"Huh?" Xu Tian was shocked.
"The letter from the lord to the prime minister has not received a reply, which is enough to explain the problem!
It seems that the prime minister has begun to be suspicious of the lord.
If you don't reply, you just want the lord to make his own decision!
And now the best way is to attack Xiakou and take Guan Yu, so that it goes. We can not only complete the temptation of the prime minister, but also take Xiakou to regain the lost territory, the best of both worlds! ”
After speaking, Pang Tong stood aside. His eyes flickered as he looked at Xu Tian.
Xu Tian didn't speak, just turned his head to look at Shen Du.
"I don't dare to agree with the intention of the military advisor!" Shen Du arched his hand slightly and said lightly.
"Oh?" Xu Tian looked at Shen Du with interest.
Pang Tong also looked at it with blazing eyes.
"Our top priority at the moment should be to make money!" Shen Du said indifferently. "Everything we do now is at a critical juncture, so I think we should do it wholeheartedly!"
Xu Tian saw that this Shen Du was a very realistic person.
What he says and does is based on the actual situation and the decision is made.
For Shen Du, Xu Tian likes it very much.
"That's a good word!" Pang Tong on the side was silent for a moment, and asked with a frown. "But it takes too long to do all this. Nowadays, if you only rely on Jingzhou's resources, it is far from enough! ”
"So, we need to expand the market!!"
Hearing Shen Du's very confident words, Pang Tong sighed. "Lu Gongzi has been worrying about this matter all day long, but what? Little effect! ”
"What we need now is an opportunity, and there's an opportunity right now!"
Speaking of this, Shen Du was suddenly a little excited. He first looked at Pang Tong, who was a little puzzled, and then turned his head to look at Xu Tian.
He knew that Xu Tian must have understood what he meant.
Xu Tian exhaled a long breath, he looked at Shen Du with satisfaction and nodded.
"I'm about to discuss this with you! Now that our old rival Zhou Yu has passed away, this may be an opportunity for us!
So, I need a messenger! ”
As soon as Xu Tian's words fell, Shen Du immediately clenched his fists and said.
"Don't let it go!"
………
Soochow, Chaisang.
Sun Quan knelt in numb clothes and sat in the room, holding the letter left by Zhou Yu before his death.
In addition to recommending Lu Su to take over his position, the rest were all various methods on how to seize Jingzhou.
Zhou Yu never forgot until he died, but he still failed to help Sun Quan take Jingzhou and achieve hegemony!
Sun Quan was saddened...
Lu Su, who was also dressed in filial piety clothes, slowly walked into the room, and there were still undried tears on his face.
"Meet the Lord!"
Lu Su bowed.
"Look at this!" Sun Quan handed over the wooden tablet in his hand. "Gong Jin recommended you to take his place!"
For this, Lu Su was not surprised.
After a moment, Lu Su put down the wooden tablet. He whispered to Sun Quan.
"Lord! Today's situation is unpredictable, Cao Cao has defeated Ma Chao and Han Sui!
Hanzhong will also be his sooner or later, if Cao Cao gets Yizhou again. By then, we'll be in real danger! ”
"What is Zijing's good plan?" Sun Quan hurriedly asked.
"Now Liu Bei has been invited to Yizhou, if it is not expected. Liu Bei should be one step ahead and take Yizhou!
So, our biggest thing right now. It is necessary to ensure the stability of the Sun-Liu Alliance, once we join forces.
It is guaranteed that Cao Cao can be thousands of miles away! ”
Sun Quan was silent soon after. He seemed to remember something, and his face was a little difficult to look at.
"Don't forget that Jingzhou is also in Cao Cao's hands, and this Jingzhou Mu Xu Tian. Recently, the movement has been very frequent.
The greater his power in Jingzhou, the more unfavorable it will be to us! And according to the inside line in Jingzhou, what did Jingzhou Mu Xu Tian teach them, and now almost the whole Jingzhou is manufacturing.
So, I always feel a little uneasy! ”
Lu Su was also silent, in fact, the person he was thinking of uniting was not Liu Bei......
