The days were spent in a superficial calm, and after more than a year, everything that should have happened happened. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Liu Qi died of illness, and Liu Bei officially served as the pastor of Jingzhou.

Baqiu New Town has been almost built, good harvests have been achieved in all tuntians, and grain has been continuously transported from the four counties in the south of the Yangtze River to Jiangling.

Ge Liang built many military stations along the Yangtze River, and built the beacon tower in advance for Guan Yu to prevent the sneak attack of Eastern Wu, and their communication method used Morse code, using fire light or drum sound to transmit information, and it was transmitted regularly every hour, and if the information was not received, it meant that there was a situation.

Not only that, Ge Liang also obtained Liu Bei's consent, and also began to build a city on the south bank of Jiangling, named Jing'an City, and divided Baqiu from Changsha County, merged with several counties of Wuling County on the south bank of Nan County, and newly established Yueyang County, transferred Liu Pan to serve as the Taishou of Yueyang County, and the original Changsha County Taishou was changed to Fu Kuang.

Zhuge Jun had already opened up large tracts of fertile land along the Yuanshui and Yangtze rivers, with the support of various counties, and in addition to the soldiers' fields, a part of them was allocated to the free people for cultivation, but the young and middle-aged among them were required to participate in the military training organized by the officials and soldiers during their leisure time.

Guan Yu trained the navy on the front line of the Yangtze River, and the warships traveled back and forth between Jiangling and Baqiu, and he also suggested that additional liaison boats be sent between the various military stations in Geliang to ensure the smooth flow of information on rainy days.

Zhou Yu, who was in Jiangxia, felt the hostility of Jingzhou, but Ge Liang always replied that he was transporting grain, and asked Zhou Yu if he could use the grain to exchange some sea salt from Dongwu, saying that he had caught a lot of fish, and there was not so much salt to pickle, and it would be too wasteful to eat it all.

Zhou Yu felt that these were all lies, and reported the vision of Jingzhou to Sun Quan, and asked Sun Quan to send Lu Su to Jingzhou to negotiate.

Ge Liang rushed to Baqiu to inspect the grain requisition, and happened to meet Lu Su on the river.

"Brother Zijing, I went to Jingzhou in a hurry last year, and we met this year, but I must do my best to fulfill the friendship of the landlord."

Lu Su felt that it would be better to discuss it privately with Ge Liang first, so he replied across the boat and asked, "Where are you going?" ”

Ge Liang ordered to set up a springboard between the two boats, and came over to pull Lu Su's hand: "Brother Zijing, I was about to go to Baqiu to collect grain, and Baqiu has just passed here, why don't you stay with me for a few days, and then go to Jiangling together?" ”

Lu Su had this intention, but looked at the details of their newly built Baqiu City, so he ordered the bow of the ship to be turned.

Ge Liang took Lu Su into the new city and showed him the granaries in the city, where a large amount of newly harvested grain was piled up.

"Zijing, thanks to God, this year's wind and rain are smooth, Jingzhou doesn't have to worry about running out of food in the past two years." Ge Liang squinted his eyes and smiled.

Lu Su had to believe that this city seemed to be indeed used to stack grain, and he didn't see how many soldiers were stationed there.

Ge Liang deliberately led Lu Su to walk around the entire city, and finally asked, "Zijing, I haven't had time to ask what is the official business of going to Jiangling to see my lord this time?" ”

Lu Su carried Sun Quan's letter in his arms, and he didn't know how to say it: "That's it, it's been a long time since I have been in contact, send me to consolidate the alliance between the two sides." ”

When he arrived in Jiangling, Lu Su presented Liu Bei with a letter from Sun Quan, but fortunately, what he said was ambiguous, and he relied on his own on-the-spot performance, and explained it in whatever way he wanted.

Back in Jiangxia, Lu Su told Zhou Yu what he had seen and heard that Baqiu was indeed used to collect grain and store grain, and it was really hard to say that people had intentions against Jiangdong.

Zhou Yu shook his head and said, "Zijing, don't be too honest, be careful of being deceived by others." ”

Lu Su couldn't think of anything wrong, and asked Zhou Yu: "If the two families want to go to war, there is no reason to repair the granary to the forefront, right?" ”

Zhou Yu still didn't believe it, but he didn't have the energy to care about these anymore, and he occasionally felt a cold a few days ago, and he couldn't be cured yet.

Seeing that his condition was getting worse day by day, and knowing that his days were numbered, Zhou Yu gave Sun Quan a soothing position and suggested that Lu Su take over his position, and he died young soon after.

Ge Liang was relieved to get the news that Zhou Yu died of illness and Lu Su took over, it seems that this history has not changed much for the time being.

After all, it didn't take long for Liu Zhang to invite Liu Bei to Shu, and at this time, the new general of Jiangdong would not make up his mind about Jingzhou for the time being.

Sure enough, in the spring of the second year, Cao Cao ordered Zhong Xuan, the lieutenant of the division, to lead an army to attack Zhang Lu in Hanzhong, and when the news reached Yizhou, Liu Zhang was afraid.

Although Zhang Lu seized Hanzhong and was his enemy, he knew that Zhang Lu was not capable of attacking Yizhou, and if Cao Cao occupied Hanzhong, he was afraid that he would not be able to fight against him.

Zhang Song, who had been holding back for more than two years, was overjoyed when he heard the letter, and the opportunity finally came, sighing and coming to see Liu Zhang: "Lord, Cao Cao has many powerful people, and there is no doubt that Zhang Lu will win." If Cao Cao takes Hanzhong and takes advantage of the situation to attack Yizhou, we will be in danger. ”

Liu Zhang was even more depressed by Zhang Song's bitter face: "Yes, how should this be good?" ”

Zhang Song rubbed his palms violently and paced back and forth five or six times before he suddenly woke up and said to Liu Zhang: "Lord, Cao Cao only fears Liu Bei and Liu Yuzhou in this life, and the two fought in Jingzhou before, and Liu Bei won a complete victory. It seems that only Liu Bei can resist Cao Cao, he is now an ally with us, and he is a relative of the Han family with the lord, it is better to invite him to crusade against Zhang Lu first, and then ask him to resist Cao Cao in Hanzhong, then we Yizhou will be safe. ”

"This ...... But Liu Bei is an outsider, will he really help us resist Cao Cao? Liu Zhang was a little tempted, and a little hesitant.

Zhang Song analyzed: "Lord, Liu Bei has been an enemy of Cao Cao all his life, how can he not fight Cao Cao wholeheartedly, and if he refuses to help, if Yizhou is occupied by Cao Cao, then he will go down the river to attack Jingzhou, and then send troops from Xiangfan all the way to attack, Jingzhou will not be able to be saved." He doesn't think about you, he has to think about himself. ”

"This ......" Liu Zhang hesitated, still unable to make up his mind.

Zhang Song continued to increase: "Lord, why are you still hesitating?" Now we in Yizhou not only have external troubles, but also internal disasters. ”

"What?" Liu Zhang stood up suddenly, "Sir, why do you say this?" ”

"My lord." Zhang Song looked anxious, "Your lord, you are too loyal, and now the generals in the state such as Pang Xi, Li Yi and others, relying on their previous great achievements, are arrogant, and they have long had different intentions." If Cao Cao doesn't come to attack Yizhou, the lord can still suppress them, but once Cao Cao attacks, they will definitely defect to the enemy, and then I'm afraid that the lord won't be able to stop him if he wants to. Now only by inviting Liu Yuzhou to suppress them can we ensure the safety of Yizhou. ”

Liu Zhang had to think that Zhang Song was reasonable, over the years, there were too many people who disobeyed him, Zhang Lu was originally an official in Yizhou, and he rebelled against Hanzhong; Zhao Wei also colluded with the surname of Shuzhong to rebel, and forced himself to stay in Chengdu......

"What Mr. said is very true, I will write a letter to invite Liu Yuzhou to enter Shu." Liu Zhang made up his mind.
