"What's wrong with my father-in-law?" Gan Ning was in a hurry and turned up directly from the haystack.
Liu Bei waved his hand: "Xingba, don't worry." ”
The little official took a breath and said, "Lord! Liu Qi, the son of Jingzhou, led 20,000 elite soldiers, came directly to Chaisang from the waterway, outflanked the Eastern Wu army from the back road, and the military division made a quick decision, ordering General Guan, General Zhang, General Chen, and General Zhao to lead the army to attack before and after, and defeated the Wu army, Sun Yi, the lord of Eastern Wu, whose life and death are unknown, and it is said that he went to Xunyang with dozens of horses. ”
"What!? Even the son Liu Qi is here? Liu Bei couldn't believe it: "Where are they?" ”
"My lord! They were coming this way. The little official arched his hand.
Gan Ning let out a long breath, no matter what, his own lord should be fine.
"Let's go! Go out and greet you. Liu Bei waved his hand, with an excited smile on his face, but as soon as he raised his foot, he stopped, glanced back at Tai Shici and Gan Ning, and explained: "Ziyi, Xingba!" After all, there is a difference between friend and foe, and I have to be wronged. ”
Gan Ning arched his hand and said, "It's okay! But don't tie it too tightly. ”
Liu Bei laughed: "Left and right!" Help me take care of Xingba and Ziyi. ”
*********
Chaisang City, in front of General Zuo's mansion.
Liu Bei personally led the team, all the officials greeted each other together, and all the wealthy and gentry of Chaisang City were present, and the scene was extremely grand.
"Uncle! Don't come unharmed. ”
Liu Qi turned over and dismounted, smiled and bowed.
Beside him were Xu Shu and Wei Yan, Liu Bei saw these two, and then suddenly realized, it turned out that Xu Shu and Wei Yan were helping, no wonder there would be such a big victory.
Liu Bei returned the salute with both hands: "The virtuous nephew defeated the lord of Eastern Wu, but it is really a great achievement, and the future life is terrifying!" ”
"The banquet has been prepared in the hall. Please! Liu Bei waved his hand and made a petition.
"Uncle Huang, please first!" Childe Liu Qiqian gave way.
"Let's be together with our uncle and nephew!"
With that, Liu Bei took Liu Qi's hand and entered the mansion together.
Above the banquet. Liu Bei picked up the three-legged wine bottle: "Everyone, drink a full glass for your son Liu Qi." ”
The ministers raised their glasses together, covered their faces and drank them all.
"After today's battle, no matter how good Zhou Yu is, the Jiangdong Bureau is bound to go and not return. After all, this country is the country of the Han Court, and the country of His Majesty is also. ”
Liu Bei made a color to the next Liu Qi.
Liu Qi understood, and immediately said: "What Uncle Huang said is very true, I waited for His Majesty to be blessed, so that we could defeat the Sun Thief of Eastern Wu, I hope you all raise your glass and wish Your Majesty the revitalization of the Han Dynasty and Kuang Fu Sheji." ”
The courtiers again raised their glasses and drank them all.
In fact, Liu Bei's words were addressed to the gentry and wealthy people present, because they were the real people of Jiangdong, and it was far from enough to rely on Liu Bei's strength to completely govern Jiangdong. It is necessary to rely on the strength of the local scholars, and letting them see the situation clearly and make the right choice is the most important step in governing Jiangdong.
Whether it is coercion and temptation, or words and intimidation, in short, they must clearly realize that the Jiangdong Sun clan has become a thing of the past, and the future tense of Jiangdong is far away and close at hand.
There are many smart people in the scholar clan, and they immediately understood the meaning of Liu Bei's words. An old man in the seat, full of white hair, only a wisp of beard under his chin still glowing with ink, this person is more than seventy years old. He was a well-known elder in the city of Chaisang.
"Lao Yu is the patriarch of the Chaisang Chen clan, he is seventy and eight this year, to put it mildly, the Han family is declining today, and the dynasty has collapsed, causing traitors to be in charge. Etiquette and religion are not prosperous, Rao is so, but the Han Court is the Han Court after all, Your Majesty is Your Majesty after all, and after a hundred years, even if the old decay is in the ground, it is still the people of the Han family! ”
This speech was sonorous and powerful.
Liu Bei couldn't help but praising his palms: "There are loyal and righteous people in the Han Dynasty, so why worry about traitorous ministers? Why worry about the immortality of the captivity? Why don't you regain your former glory.
"Those who offend me as a strong man, although they are far away, will be punished", every time I think of General Chen Tang's bold words, I always think of the prosperity of the Han Dynasty, expand the territory, and promote the majesty of the Han Dynasty! ”
In the hall, Kong Ming had an idea, and said: "We will swear allegiance to Your Majesty, as a Han minister, and die as a Han ghost." ”
"As a Hanchen, die as a Han ghost!"
Immediately after that, all the people in the temple shouted in unison, and the sound was like a torch, resounding throughout the temple.
Liu Bei backhanded his hand to show quietness, his eyes fell on the old man, and a faint smile bloomed at the corner of his mouth: "I remember that there is a son in the Chen old clan, whose name is Wu, right!?" ”
The old man of the Chen family was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood, and promised: "Indeed, as the imperial uncle said, this son is the grandson of the old man, and after the banquet is over, the old man will recall him to serve the imperial uncle in a letter of resignation." ”
"It doesn't have to be!" Liu Bei seemed to think about it, and said lightly: "Instead of forcing it to follow, it's better to go with the flow." Do not do unto others as you would have them do unto you? ”
The old man of the Chen family arched his hand: "Thank you Uncle Huang for your comfort, but please rest assured that Uncle Huang will never allow his grandson to continue to be obsessed, no matter what Uncle Huang is, it must be so for the old man." ”
"Okay." Liu Bei simply responded.
The banquet ended quickly, it was very smooth, all the rich gentry expressed their attachment, after all, even the four major families all fell into the hands of Liu Bei, and what did they use to express their resistance.
Grace and power!
The defeat of Sun Yi, the lord of Jiangdong, can be regarded as setting up the "might", and the gun is in his own hands, but what should this "en" do? After all, the matter of boiling sea salt is a blank check, and the novelty will not be too strong, so it is still necessary to give these people some direct interest stimulus, otherwise it will be difficult to appease their hearts.
Chaisang City changed hands overnight, there is basically no major change in the city, and according to the current pattern of Chaisang City, whether it is commerce or agriculture, all have been saturated, and the industries of the Zhu family and the Zhang family are on the basis of being shared together, and there is little significance as a gift.
Originally, Liu Bei used the soldiers and horses under the command of Gongzi Liu Qi to level Zhou Yu's troops, but Gongzi Liu Qi resolutely refused, and insisted on personally leading the army to kill Sun Yi and exterminate Zhou Yu, which is also reasonable, Liu Bei's troops are less than 5,000, and Gongzi Liu Qi does have 20,000 elite soldiers under his command, why should people attach to you? Besides, Gongzi Liu Qi entered Jiangdong this time to make meritorious contributions in the army, how could he give up this opportunity to beat the water dogs. But this also happened to fulfill Liu Bei's wish, you beat your water dog, and I will take my Hanchengchi.
Liu Bei sent two teams, the first route was led by Fu Zhu and Zhang He to the south of Yuzhang County, the second route was led by Chen Zhi and Tian Feng to the east to Poyang County, and the rest of the people stayed in Chaisang and continued to recruit troops and horses to build equipment.
The attack on Jiangdong requires a large number of warships and a large number of sailors, fortunately, Liu Bei has ordered people to train a group of sailors when he was in Jiangxia, which is indeed very useful at this time, the warships have built a batch in Jiangxia, and a batch of them have been captured in the Chaisangshui military camp, which is more than enough to supply more than 2,000 troops.
Immediately followed by Kong Ming and the Ma brothers to take over the work of Fu Zhu, measuring the land, census the population, and registering the book, but this time it was not limited to Chaisang itself, but followed the traces of the attack of the two armies, and wherever they fought, they did it.
And Zhao Yun and Guan Yu are responsible for continuing to recruit troops, Zhang Fei led people to build ordnance, not only the city defense equipment, but also the siege equipment, such as ladders, rushing cars, catapults, and these things have their own captured Eastern Wu army.
********
After all, the northerners are the northerners, and it is unwise to abandon the war horse and support the boat, and after all, he will go north one day to enter Xudu, meet the Son of Heaven, and support Sheji.
Northern! It was the home of the war horse. Therefore, the iron rider cannot be lost after all, and it cannot be lost!
Liu Bei worked hard all night, drew something on the silk letter, dried the ink, picked it up and looked up and down, and was very satisfied with this work.
"Someone." Liu Bei shouted.
A guard turned into a guard outside the door, hugged his fists and said, "Lord! ”
"Invite Ziyi and Xingba to me."
The guards were stunned and didn't know what to do.
Liu Bei came to his senses and sighed: "It's the two people locked up in the firewood room in the backyard." ”
The guard arched his hand: "No." With that, he turned and walked away.
After a while, Gan Ning and Tai Shici came to the main hall under the guidance of two guards.
Liu Bei beckoned, and his face was filled with excitement: "Xingba, Ziyi, you come and show you something." ”
Gan Ning and Tai Shici were a little at a loss, but they still followed Liu Bei to the other side of the hall, where there was a pattern made of silk letters, but the pattern was painted with neither landscapes nor birds and animals, but a lumpy thing pieced together by crooked lines.
Gan Ning swallowed a mouthful of saliva, pointed to this strange picture, and said puzzledly: "Dare to ask Uncle Huang, what is this?" ”
Liu Bei didn't answer directly, but just smiled silently: "Do you know how big this world is?" ”
Gan Ning and Tai Shici were even more stunned, and they seemed to be even more confused about what Liu Bei wanted to do.
Liu Bei pointed to a small piece on the map: "This is the land of China, there is a country here, completely located on the ocean, of course, this island has not been developed so far, it is called Taiwan." And there's an archipelago here, and I'll call it the Malay Archipelago! Looking here, it's called the Mediterranean. There are also these two continents with the same leaves, one in South America and one in North America. The world is big, but our vision is small. ”
Tai Shi Ci and Gan Ning stared at the world map in front of them with a stunned expression, as if they couldn't believe some novelties in Liu Bei's mouth, after all, these things don't exist at all in this era, and when anyone accepts a new thing, there will be a process from doubt to real acceptance, and Tai Shi Ci and Gan Ning at this time are in the stage of doubt.
"Want to see these places?"
Without the slightest cover-up, Liu Bei said excitedly. (To be continued.) )
