Jiangxia City.

The snow fell, and the whole earth was covered in silver, which was extremely enchanting.

Liu Bei was wearing a mink fur, standing under the eaves of the corridor, stretching out his hand, and the snowflakes submerged into the palm of his hand, melting, until he disappeared, and it was cold.

Liu Bei retracted his hand, sighed, rubbed it, with a faint smile, and said softly: "It's finally over." ”

On the side behind him stood Zhou Yu, dressed in civilian clothes, with his hands crossed in front of his chest, and sighed: "Yes, it's finally over, although the Cao thief is not dead, he will not dare to take care of it in three or five years." The lord can take the opportunity to strengthen his strength, first collect Jingzhou, and then enter Sichuan and Shu, so that he can truly win the world and compete with Cao thief! ”

"Hmmm! That's the only way to do it now. Liu Bei tightened his grip, glanced at the heavy snow, and turned back to the house with a little reluctance, "Gong Jin! You are an old minister of Jiangdong, and you have a lot of prestige in Jiangdong, I plan to let you and Zijing stay in Jiangdong, I don't know what you think? ”

Zhou Yu was slightly stunned, but it was only for a moment, and then he was indifferent, he seemed to have expected such a result.

Liu Bei approached the charcoal fire, stretched out his hand to roast it, and his body gradually warmed up, then he turned to the top and waved his hand to signal Zhou Yu to sit next to him for a while.

"Gong Jin! How, do you have faith? ”

"Lord!" Zhou Yu rubbed his eyebrows, frowned slightly, a reluctant smile hung on the corner of his mouth, and shook his head: "You know, my ideal is to win the Central Plains, and finally help the lord create a new big man."

"Gong Jin! I understand. ”

Liu Bei nodded very affirmatively, waved his hand to stop Zhou Yu, and said: "It's still early to win the Central Plains, I can promise you first, sooner or later, let's walk into Xuchang, Luoyang, and the palace together!"

However, at this moment, Jiangdong has been decided, and the southern mountains are constantly in turmoil. Cao Cao in the north is still a thief, bandits are emerging in an endless stream, and stabilizing Jiangdong makes the people live and work in peace and contentment, which is not a virtuous general!

Gong Jin. Jiangdong can't live without you! ”

"My lord! I"

Of course, Zhou Yu understood his father-in-law's intentions, and knew that he was the most suitable person to settle Jiangdong, but he was still a little unwilling.

"Remember the world map I gave you?"

Liu Bei interrupted Zhou Yu directly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and staring at Zhou Yu with a hint of longing in his eyes.

"Of course I do." Zhou Yu nodded. He snorted lightly, as if reminiscing about the scene of that night, and said with interest: "I still remember Southeast Asia, Taiwan, North Korea, Dongying, and so on. ”

Zhou Yu's words clearly carried a faint sense of yearning, the pleasure of going on an expedition overseas and expanding the territory.

Liu Bei took a deep breath and asked, "Do you know why I asked Kong Ming and his wife to design the Zhiyuan Ship?" ”

Zhou Yu was slightly stunned, and this sentence directly pulled him back from the fantasy space: "Lord! It's hard to do it."

"It is to conquer the vast sea!"

Liu Bei nodded heavily, and said, "Gong Jin!" Jiangdong has never been able to get out of a remote corner, because of what? Sailors! As the so-called success is also a water army, defeat is also a water army. The navy is Koto's advantage. But at the same time, it is also the disadvantage of Jiangdong, and only by changing the way of thinking can we break through the original limitations, and this vast sea is the future of Jiangdong. ”

Zhou Yu nodded with a little understanding, and seemed to agree with Liu Bei's opinion very much.

Seeing that Zhou Yu did not object, Liu Bei also smiled lightly, and said: "The so-called outside must first be settled inside, without a stable and stable rear, how can you gallop the world?" So Gongjin, I let you stay in Jiangdong, not just for you. It's also for me, for the future of the Han world! ”

Such words caused a lot of emotion in Zhou Yu's heart, he was slightly stunned, and then clenched his fists and said, "Lord! I understand. I will certainly live up to your high expectations. ”

"Hmmm! I believe you. ”

Liu Bei replied calmly, leaned lightly on the railing next to the seat, looked at the heavy snow outside the house with far-reaching eyes, and said softly: "Do you remember Dongying and North Korea?" ”

"Yes."

"It is an island country, and North Korea continues to go north to the bitter cold land of Liaodong, and it is only separated from Dongying and North Korea by a sea. It's Qingzhou! ”

Zhou Yu couldn't help but gasp, as a military strategist with great strategic vision, Liu Bei's words clearly pointed him in the direction.

Liu Bei squeezed out a smile at Zhou Yu knowingly, and said, "Gong Jin! You're a surprise soldier I've prepared, but don't let me down! ”

At this time, Zhou Yu really accepted Liu Bei's decision, and his eyes were very firm and said: "Lord! Yu is determined to live up to high expectations. ”

"Hmmm! I know that. ”

Liu Bei waved his hand and continued: "Gong Jin! Don't underestimate these overseas lands, they are of great use to me. ”

Zhou Yu sighed, leaned forward, and asked, "Lord! Could it be that in addition to landing in Qingzhou, is there any other use? ”

"It's nature."

Liu Bei smiled lightly and replied with certainty: "For example, in Southeast Asia, Jiangdong is rich in land and can harvest crops twice a year, while Southeast Asia!" We can harvest three times a year, so will we still be short of food? Dongying Island country, all resources are quite scarce, but there is no shortage of gold and silver minerals, if it can be mined, still worry about the national strength is not strong enough?

For example, after the Battle of Chibi, if the Cao thief does not die, then its momentum is still there, and it will only take three or five years to recover as before, and if we are defeated, the Cao thief can level the Eastern Wu in one fell swoop and recover the world. ”

When Zhou Yu heard this, he bowed deeply: "The lord's words made Yu Mao stop, and Yu Ding made every effort to stabilize Dongwu, subdue overseas forces, and help the lord achieve hegemony through the ages!" ”

Liu Bei smiled: "With your words, I am relieved." ”

At this moment, the attendant Ah San came to the house and said, "Lord! Mr. Tian asked to see him. ”

"Yuan Hao?" Liu Bei beckoned: "Let him come in." ”

After a while, Tian Feng came to the house and said, "Lord! Jiangling sent a letter, Cao Cao ordered Cao Ren to lead 10,000 troops to garrison Xiangyang, and ordered Cao Hong to lead 8,000 troops to garrison Fancheng, and he led the remnants back to Xuchang. ”

Liu Bei snorted and nodded, "Sure enough!" Cao Thief's move is tantamount to giving up the southern part of Jingzhou, which is to protect the northern part of Jingzhou. ”

Tian Feng arched his hand slightly: "Lord! According to Feng's opinion, at this time, we should go all out to capture Xiangfan, as long as we take Xiangfan, it is equivalent to taking the entire territory of Jingzhou. ”

"The last general seconded."

Zhou Yu waved at Liu Bei and said: "Cao Ren and Cao Hong have been following Cao Thief all the year round and ordered these two to be stationed here in Xiangfan, which shows that Cao Thief still has no heart for Jingzhou. ”

Liu Bei groaned slightly, immediately stood up, and ordered: "Order the three armies, cross the river and rush to Jiangling tomorrow, be sure to complete the assembly in the shortest possible time, and make every effort to take Xiangfan!" ”

Tian Feng intervened and responded: "No! (To be continued.) )
