Chapter Forty-Eight: Completion of Account Splitting Preparations for each
"General Zhao, Brother Zijing, this is Mr. Zhang Zhao Zhang Zibu, one of the two Zhangs of Jiangdong, who is known as General Junzhong of my Jiangdong Mansion. Mr. Zibu, these two are famous figures in Xuzhou, this is the military priest sacrificing wine Lu Su Lu Zijing, and it is also Yu's old friend, when the lord raised the army, Duomeng Zijing generously donated money; This is even more famous, it is General Zhao Botao of Pengcheng Taishou Zhao Feng! After a lot of chatter, Zhou Yu finally introduced the two sides of the negotiation.
"Look up for a long time!" The two sides were polite again, and Zhao Feng also found an opportunity to look at Zhang Zhao in front of him, and what was more surprising was that he looked like he was in his forties, unlike the gray-haired old man in the TV series. In fact, Zhang Zhao was only 42 years old at this time, and his quality of life was not bad in a high position, and he was not as frail and sickly as his brother Zhang Hong, so he was naturally well maintained.
Of course, the reason why Zhao Feng is so interested in this Zhang Zhao is purely because this old brother's performance in the entire "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is too "outstanding", first of all, the Battle of Chibi took the lead in shouting for surrender, and then Sun Quan's ideas were not used much, and there were many bad things. It is true that the real Zhang Zhao is not so unbearable, but his talent in internal affairs, Lao Luo, really didn't give him too many opportunities to perform.
"Mr. Zibu is a great talent in the world, and it is really a blessing to see him today!" Zhao Feng also responded to some polite words, Zhang Zhao has always been used to being flattered, and he also replied at the moment: "General Zhao is young and promising, and he is already a high-ranking official in the state and county at the age of the weak crown, and Zhao Shen feels that the future is terrifying!" ”
After the politeness was over, he began to talk about business, "My lord General Sun is the Yangzhou pastor canonized by the imperial court, and now the Yuan Shu rebel has been exterminated, and the two counties of Lujiang and Jiujiang are under my rule." Zhang Zhao said first. After a pause, Zhang Zhao said again: "Of course, Taiwei Liu led his troops to fight bloodily this time, how can he not gain half of it?" The two counties of Anfeng and Yiyang originally belonged to Yuzhou, and this time they will be returned to their original owners and taken over by General Guan Yunchang, I don't know what the two of them think? ”
Ruthless, really ruthless, this is Zhao Feng's first thought. took the entire territory of Yangzhou first, but pretended to be generous and handed over Anfeng and Yiyang to Liu Bei, this wishful thinking was crackling! Zhao Feng naturally couldn't let him get his wish, and said with a smile at the moment: "Zhang Gong's words are wrong, I think that although the Lujiang River was captured by General Sun, if it weren't for General Zhang and General Gao's raid on the East Gate, I'm afraid that the battle situation at this time is not yet known." As for this Jiujiang County, except for Shouchun, which was attacked by three families, the thirteen counties were all pacified by my Xuzhou. What's more, Li Tong and other county commanders have already defected to my lord, if Duke Zhang asks my lord to evacuate this place, won't he let my lord be that untrustworthy villain? ”
The meaning of Zhao Feng's words is also very clear: Your brother didn't fight much, but the city wanted to occupy it for nothing, how could there be such a cheap thing in this world? Zhang Zhao didn't care, but continued: "Having said that, but now my lord is the pastor of Yangzhou, and Jiujiang is the boundary of Yangzhou, so it should be governed by my lord." It is true that Taiwei Liu is anxious to conquer the traitors, but he can't occupy the magpie's nest because of this! ”
Zhao Feng smiled slightly, he had already thought of his rhetoric, and then said: "General Sun is the pastor of Yangzhou, but it is difficult to conclude whether this Jiujiang County is considered the boundary of Yangzhou." Let's just say that the two counties of Anfeng and Yiyang originally belonged to Yangzhou, but later belonged to Yuzhou. Now Jiujiang County is at the junction of Xuzhou and Jiangdong, how can it no longer belong to Xuzhou? ”
"This!" Zhang Zhaowan didn't expect Zhao Fengfeng to say this, so the two of them debated one by one, and after a while, Lu Su and Zhou Yu were also added to the lineup. Zhao Feng came from later generations, and knew the true meaning of bargaining in this negotiation, and the condition in his mouth was to become the same as Zuo, Anfeng and Yiyang, and even willing to let Ruyin a few more counties. But Zhang Zhao is also Wang Ba's heart to eat scales, and he has to bite Huainan and hold on, and the focus of the dispute between the two sides is here.
"Fortunately, there was a countermeasure!" Zhao Feng and Lu Su saw that they were almost talking, and the two made eye contact and decided to play the hole cards, and then Zhao Feng said: "Since General Sun is unwilling to give us Huainan for nothing, I have a proposal, which is to replace Huainan with one land." ”
"Where? General Zhao should not say that it is Anfeng Yiyang. Zhang Zhao was also very vigilant, for fear that he would be fooled and fainted.
"Naturally not, my lord is willing to replace Huainan with Jiaozhou, how about it?" Zhao Feng said with a smile. This is also the last floor of Xuzhou that was discussed with Liu Bei yesterday.
"Jiaozhou?" Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu were also stunned by each other, and they both felt incredible. "What means does Taiwei Liu have to make us occupy Jiaozhou?" Zhang Zhao couldn't help but ask, and Zhou Yu was also at a loss.
"Hehe, Cangwu is too guarded by Wu Ju, but it is my lord's friend of life and death. If my lord goes with a letter, Wu Taishou is willing to give up Cangwu County. Now that the Jiangdong Army has occupied the South China Sea, if it can go down to Cangwu again, with the strategy of the governor of Zhou, then the seven counties of Jiaozhou can be determined? Zhao Feng said with a smile.
Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao glanced at each other and nodded, and Zhang Zhao said: "It's really difficult for me to make decisions about this matter, wait for me to return to my lord, and then make plans!" ”
"Gong Zhang, please!" Zhao Feng smiled genuinely. At that moment, Zhang Zhao hurriedly said goodbye and returned to the camp to ask Sun Ce, but Zhou Yu stayed here and waited for Zhang Zhao's news. Looking at Zhao Feng, Zhou Yu suddenly smiled and said: "General Zhao's mouth is really powerful, I finally understand why Brother Zijing left Jiangdong and went to Xuzhou." ”
Lu Su couldn't help but be a little embarrassed when he heard this, but Zhao Feng laughed and said: "If Governor Zhou is willing to come to my Xuzhou, the future will definitely be limitless, much better than nesting in this corner of Jiangdong!" ”
"Huh?" Zhou Yu was a little speechless at Zhao Feng's naked digging of the wall, and then smiled: "Yu Mengmeng's grace to General Sun's knowledge, how could he go elsewhere?" General Zhao's kindness, Yu Xin's heart! ”
I didn't want Zhao Feng to wave his hand and said: "Governor Zhou, don't blame me Zhao Feng bluntly said that this land in Jiangdong is really not the foundation of the king's tyranny. The power of the various families and clans is intertwined, so it is easy for General Sun to pacify Jiangdong, but it is difficult to sit firmly in Jiangdong. Besides, Zhou Dudu was born in a poor family, so I'm afraid that this day will not be easy! ”
"This!" Zhou Yu couldn't help but be a little stunned, and then secretly admired Zhao Feng's insight. Although his status in Jiangdong has been extremely respected in these years, in fact, Zhang Zhao and these scholars have not bought his account much. If it weren't for their own military power, I'm afraid they would have been excluded by them a long time ago. Lu Su saw that his friend's expression was gloomy, and hurriedly persuaded him.
Not long after, Zhang Zhao hurriedly came and said that Sun Ce agreed to replace Huainan with Jiaozhou. In addition, Lujiang County and Anfeng County belonged to Sun Ce, and Yiyang County belonged to Yuzhou. But the specific delivery will have to wait for Wu Ju to react on the Jiaozhou side. Zhao Feng also knew that the blank check was not easy to guarantee, so he nodded and said, "Very good, my lord has already written a letter, and it can be sent to Wu Taishou without saying anything." When Wu Taishou is sent to Cangwu, General Sun can withdraw from Huainan! In addition, you must not hurt Wu Taishou's surname, otherwise my lord and Wu Taishou are friends of life and death, and they will never give up. The reason why this article was added was purely because Zhao Feng remembered that Wu Ju was killed by Dongwu Buyu in history, and now if he killed his surname for no reason, then Liu Bei couldn't bear it.
"That's nature!" Zhang Zhao also agreed with a bang. So in the next day, both sides were busy taking over their respective territories. Liu Bei was transferred to Xu Sheng, the former Xia Pi Cheng, to serve as the Taishou of Yiyang, but Xia Pi was left to Wu Ju to take office. In the letter to Wu Ju, Liu Beiyi reminisced about the past, but more often explained the current situation to Wu Ju. Although Jiaozhou is located in southern Xinjiang, Sun Ce and Liu Biao both covet it. Zhang Jin, the pastor of Jiaozhou appointed by the imperial court, has long died, at present, there are seven counties in Jiaozhou, the Shixie brothers occupy four counties, and the remaining Nanhai County has been laid down by Sun Ce, Zhuya County is now Hainan Island, and the lonely overseas people are beyond the reach of the whip, and the remaining Wu Ju of Cangwu County is not a sworn friend of the Shixie brothers, and there are not many elite generals, but they are still the first line to resist Sun Ce's army. If it weren't for the mountains and mountains of Lingnan that he could barely resist, Wu Ju was afraid that his bones would have melted.
So Liu Bei asked him to leave Jiaozhou, a place of right and wrong, and come to the rich Xuzhou to be an official, presumably Wu Ju would come happily. For Sun Ce, as long as he can break through Cangwu, the remaining four counties of the Shixie brothers are not blocked by mountains, which means that they can be broken. Thinking of this, Zhao Feng was also full of emotion: in history, Lao Liu wanted to defect to Wu Ju before Chibi, but now it is Wu Ju who has come to join him, and history has been changed too much by himself.
As for replacing Huainan with Jiaozhou, this proposal was also proposed by Zhao Feng to Liu Bei. Now Jiaozhou is mainly a tripartite force, the Shixie brothers, Wu Ju and Sun Ce. The Shixie brothers have always been attached to Liu Biao, Wu Ju is his own little son, and Sun Ce and Liu Biao do not share the same day, so naturally they will not let go of the Shixie brothers. Therefore, if Wu Ju, who was left in the middle, could be allowed to get out of the matter, the remaining Sun Ce and Liu Biao would inevitably be pinched, which would also involve Sun Ce a lot of energy. Liu Bei thought deeply of this, and Zhang Fei and others admired Zhao Feng's overall view.
Wu Ju hasn't come yet, but he has to pass. At present, the two sides are also busy with their own affairs, and the people of the counties of Jiujiang County have gradually settled down after Liu Bei promulgated various measures to reassure the people, and no longer migrate to Jiangdong on a large scale. According to Li Tong's estimates, there are only 60,000 or 70,000 people who actually run, and this number is acceptable. As for the 90,000 soldiers, under Ji Ling's call, nearly 60,000 defected.
In ancient times, the transportation was inconvenient, and when Wu Ju arrived in Xuzhou, it was almost two months later. "Xuande Gong, it's been a long time!" A middle-aged scribe who looked to be about the same age as Liu Bei greeted Liu Bei from afar in the carriage, and then simply jumped down and ran straight over.
"Brother Haochen, it's been almost twenty years since Jingshiyi!" Liu Bei also sighed. Now that Wu Ju has arrived, Sun Ce has also kept his promise and evacuated all the troops from Huainan. Liu Bei did not restore the name of Jiujiang County, but combined the eight eastern counties to establish Nantong County, with Zang Ba as the county guard; The six counties in the west are still Shouchun County, guarded by Zhang Liao, and the two counties are bounded by Shouchun to defend Jiangdong. The original Guangling County was re-appointed by Chen Deng, who had recovered his health.
"The next time we meet, it's going to be a fight!" Zhao Feng looked at the Jiangdong Army who retreated in a neat and orderly manner, and his heart was full of emotion. Now that Sun Ce is gone, Liu Bei will also return to Xuzhou. As a result, on the way back, the military doctor who accompanied the army diagnosed that Mrs. Mi, who came to visit Liu Bei, was pregnant.
"I, Liu Beirong, have been horses for half my life, and I can finally have a little blood and bones!" Liu Bei couldn't hide his joy. Zhao Feng calculated the time, this child obviously shouldn't be the Adou who couldn't be helped. It seems that because of his arrival, Liu Bei is not so displaced, and even the child was born early. It's just that Liu Bei is really powerful, and Mrs. Mi came to visit him more than a month, and now she is already a month pregnant.
"The sword is not old!" Zhao Feng thought a little spoofed, and at the same time ended his nearly year-long southern and northern wars, and returned to Xuzhou with Liu Bei's army.
