Zhou Yu died.

Until Zhou Yu's coffin was loaded into a carriage and transported back to his hometown in Lujiang, Zhao Feng had a feeling of unreality. The heroic Jiangdong Zhoulang in history died young after only living to the age of 27, and he didn't even have a descendant. Although the direct executor who killed him was Sun Quan, Zhao Feng was by no means without responsibility. Zhou Yu is different from Lu Bu, he was afraid that he would not be able to kill him, but for Zhou Yu, he really didn't expect things to develop to this point. Knowing this, Zhao Feng himself couldn't say whether he would be willing to use the original divisive plan.

Shanyin County, where Huiji City is located, is next to Wu County, and a few days later, Zhou Yu's brother Zhou Shan welcomed back his brother's coffin in Wu County, and Liu Bei, who was in Wu County, still met him in his busy schedule. This unlucky guy who was chopped off by Zhang Fei in history is still just a teenager less than twenty years old, and his eyes are already red and swollen from crying at the moment. Liu Bei comforted a few words, seeing that Zhou Shan still had some talents, so he named him the magistrate of Juchao County, and asked Lujiang to guard Lu Jun to take care of the Zhou family.

Since Huiji was breached, Liu Bei spent no more than two days pacifying the counties under the rule of Huiji County. So far, the strategic plan of the Xuzhou Army to conquer Jiangdong has basically been realized. Jiangdong from Sun Quan down, except for those who died in battle, and Tai Shici who was in Luling, the rest either surrendered or were captured. Now Liu Bei is sitting in Wu County, discussing the aftermath with everyone.

First of all, the first point, Sun Quan's disposal. Since being captured, Sun Quan still chose to surrender relatively simply, and Liu Bei has also met once or twice these days. For Sun Quan, after seeing Zhou Yu's tragic situation, everyone in Xuzhou, especially the military generals led by Zhao Feng, were indignant, and they all said that it was best to kill this kind of person to prevent future troubles. And Zhao Feng knew very well that Sun Quan was by no means the kind of person who was willing to condescend to others. Historically, he once proclaimed himself a vassal to Cao Pi, but in the end he established himself as emperor. Besides, the Sun family has been entrenched in Jiangdong for many years and has a huge power, so it won't be fun if he is allowed to resurrect.

However, Lu Su and Pang Tong, and even Lu Jun's father and son, who had a deep blood feud with the Sun family (Lu Kang and Lu Ji both died at the hands of the Sun family), did not agree with killing Sun Quan immediately. Lu Su and Pang Tong believed that if Sun Quan was killed at this moment, it would inevitably lead to uncertainty, and secondly, Tai Shici of Luling and Sun Jing and Zhuge Jin of Jiaozhou should fight against Liu Bei to the end. The losses of the Xuzhou army in Jiangdong for half a year were not small, and it was not the best strategy to fight them like this again. Lu Jun believes that the power of the great clans in Jiangdong is intertwined, and if Sun Quan is killed rashly, the people's hearts here will inevitably be turbulent, so they do not agree to kill Sun Quan at this time.

"What if you don't kill?" Liu Bei thought about it for a while, and knew that if he was released in Jiangdong, he was afraid that he would resurge, so he could only place him in Xuzhou or Yuzhou. At this time, Lu Su pondered for a long time, and stepped forward and said: "My lord, since Sun Quan is willing to surrender, you can first order him to persuade Tai Shici and Sun Jing to surrender." The lord then played the imperial court, enshrined him as the Marquis of Yue, and ordered him to lead the four counties of Jiaozhou, such as Jiaozhi, Yulin, Guanzhu, Gaoliang, etc., and that's it! ”

"I'm afraid Zijing's words are inappropriate, if Sun Quan is far away in Jiaozhou, what if he says that he will change for a long time?" Zhao Feng hurriedly objected, and Liu Bei also looked at Lu Su with some confusion, not knowing what the purpose of his proposal was. Lu Su said unhurriedly: "At present, Sun Quan can't be killed, and it is not appropriate to let him go to Jiangdong, if he is placed in Xuzhou or Yuzhou, I am afraid that Cao Ying will make a big fuss about it, so it is better to exile him to the four southern counties of Jiaozhou." After a pause, Lu Su said again: "The population of the four southern counties is less than 400,000, and the local Cham people and the Han people have a long history of grievances. Moreover, the four southern counties are far away in Lingnan, as long as our army holds the two counties of Cangwu and Nanhai, he Sun Quan will not want to go north to Jiangdong. For the rest of his life, he can only be a second Shixie. ”

"Then if he doesn't give up, what if he still attacks?" Zhao Feng was really not at ease with Sun Quan's character, so he hurriedly asked again.

Lu Su smiled slightly, and said with a natural expression: "In this way, the lord can justifiably destroy him!" At this time, Pang Tong also said: "I have heard that Sun Quan is a filial son, and now he can let his mother and the Sun clan stay in Wucheng's hometown, and only let Sun Quan and Sun Yi's brothers go south, so that they can also prevent them from rebelling again." ”

"Lord, although Sun Quan is a filial son, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not follow Zhang Lu, so he still kills and saves his heart!" Zhao Feng always felt a little unsafe, and strongly recommended Liu Bei to kill one hundred. Liu Bei pondered for a long time before he spoke: "Since I have won Jiangdong, I am still afraid that I will not be able to defend Jiangdong because of the princes?" If you kill it, it will inevitably put the surrenderer in danger. As soon as these words came out, Zhao Feng and the others couldn't say anything more.

Another is that the Yangzhou family is too powerful, not only in the economic and political dominance, but also in the military, compared to the four major families in Xuzhou, the influence is not at the same level, Liu Bei is also a headache these days. Zhao Feng discussed with Lu Su and others, and suggested that Liu Bei should not use too drastic means against them, and that it was best to let those subjugated old ministers in Jiangdong go to Xuzhou and Yuzhou to take up posts, and at the same time transfer officials from Xuzhou and Yuzhou to Jiangdong, so as to weaken their local influence through this method of being officials in other places. Moreover, the military side absolutely cannot tolerate them having such a great influence, but fortunately, in this battle of Jiangdong, many big families have suffered heavy losses, and only the Gu family and the Zhu family are relatively intact among several big families. Zhao Feng suggested that the policy towards them was land, industry, and official positions, and that all domestic servants should not be moved, but the private soldiers in the establishment system must be abolished, and at most only a few hundred family guards could be retained, and thousands of family soldiers must not be used as before. Finally, most of the graduates of the third phase of Xuzhou College, who will graduate soon, will serve in Jiangdong in the future, fundamentally shaking their foundation.

Liu Bei wants to sit firmly in Jiangdong, and he can't do without the support of these families. But relying too much on them will inevitably lead to the opposite. Historically, the political situation in Soochow has been very chaotic, mainly due to the fact that the power of these wealthy families is too large. Now that Zhao Feng and Lu Su have drawn up these plans, they can temporarily reduce their influence without causing too fierce conflict. Of course, this is also based on the fact that Liu Bei has two other states under him, and the strength is strong enough to act like this. Judging from the later results, it was not bad.

At that moment, Liu Bei wrote a good chapter and prepared to show Sun Quan as the pastor of Jiaozhou, so that he could lead the four southern counties of Jiaozhou. At the same time, it was to invite the imperial court to show Zhao Feng as the pastor of Yangzhou, and to merge Nanhai County and Cangwu County into Yangzhou.

"Lord, how can I be a Yangzhou pastor!" Zhao Feng was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly refused. There are still two jokes about fighting a war or something, and this party is really not this piece of material. Yangzhou is one of the larger states in the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, including Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, and Jiangxi provinces in later generations. Liu Bei shook his head when he heard this: "Bo Taoxiu wants to be too humble, with your prestige today, it is more than enough to sit on one side." With you sitting in Yangzhou, it is enough to make Sun Quan and the people of Jingzhou dare not act rashly. Zhao Feng repeatedly excused himself, but Liu Bei was just not allowed. In the end, Zhao Feng said helplessly: "In this case, please send more people to help me take care of this place." Feng is lazy and has a surname, unless it is a march to fight, other things may not be able to be done. Liu Bei glanced at Zhao Feng with some surprise when he heard this, and finally nodded lightly.

A few days later, Liu Bei's letter was sent to the Xuchang Imperial Court, and it was decided by Prime Minister Cao Cheng, who was in Guandu. "Liu Bei has already pacified Jiangdong?" Cao Ying looked at the recital, and suddenly felt a little unhappy.

"Sun Zhongmou is young after all, how can he resist Er Liu!" Guo Jia was not too surprised by this result. Cao Ying frowned when he heard this: "I thought that Sun Zhongmou would drag Liu Bei, but I didn't want him to be defeated so quickly." At present, Liu Bei plays Zhao Feng as Yangzhou pastor, what can he do? ”

"I heard that Liu Bei and Liu Biao agreed to divide Jiangdong, Liu Biao only took the two counties of Yuzhang and Luling, and now Yangzhou except for these two counties are owned by Liu Bei, and the reason why the court is just for show." Guo Jia said with a smile. After a pause, Guo Jia said again: "Jingzhou Cai Mao Cai Deqi Xiaochang is military, virtuous and noble, and can be a pastor in Yangzhou." Zhao Feng, this person is still young, so let him be the Taishou of Lujiang. ”

"Cai Deqi Xiaochang military, virtuous and noble?" Cao Hong, who was on the side, heard Guo Jia's eight-character comment on Cai Mao, and his expression was immediately extremely strange. Not only him, but the rest of the generals in the tent were also stunned, only a few strategists and Cao Ying smiled silently.

"The herald enshrined Cai Mao as the pastor of Yangzhou, led the Marquis of Wu, and the general of Zhendong; Sun Quan was the pastor of Jiaozhou, the Marquis of Lingyue, and the general of Zhennan; Zhao Feng is the Taishou of Lujiang. Cao Ying finally clapped his head. After a few days, the edict was issued, and Cai Mao, Sun Quan, and Zhao Feng were in different moods.

"Cai Mao is the pastor of Yangzhou?" Liu Bei was also very surprised to learn that the imperial court had arranged such an arrangement, and immediately understood that this was Cao Ying's sowing discord. "Cao Mengde is really not idle, no matter what, lord, it will be easier to clean up Cai Mao in the future." Zhao Feng didn't care much about whether he could be the pastor of Yangzhou, but this Cai Mao was close at hand, so he had to deal with it carefully. Liu Bei comforted him, and saw that Zhao Feng really didn't care, so he just did.

As for Sun Quan, as a prisoner, after receiving this edict, the entire Sun family was secretly relieved. In any case, it shows that Liu Bei at least doesn't want to kill Sun Quan. Although Jiaozhou is far away, it is better than going to Huangquan. At that time, Sun Quan also wrote a letter to Tai Shici, who was stranded in Luling, and Sun Jing and Zhuge Jin, who were in Jiaozhou, to surrender to Liu Bei. It's already mid-May.

But Liu Bei and Sun Quan's matter is simply not a matter compared to Cai Mao in Jingzhou. "Congratulations to Deju, after sitting in Yangzhou, everyone should watch each other and live in harmony!" In the lobby of the Jingzhou Pastoral Mansion, all the civil and military personnel except Kuai Liang, who was sick in bed, were all present, and Liu Biao, who was over half a hundred years old, smiled at the freshly baked Cai Mao with a smile.

"The Lord is serious!" Cai Mao hurriedly said humbly, but the trace of complacency in his eyes was obvious, he was originally just Nanyang Taishou, and now he can be a governor, and he can be regarded as a smooth progress. Hearing this, Liu Biao hurriedly said: "Deju, you are also a state pastor now, please take back the word lord." You and I are in-laws, and it is better to match the words. After a pause, Liu Biao said again: "When it is said that it is agreed with Xuande to divide Jiangdong, Wujun and other places are now owned by them. When De Jue arrives there, he still needs to get along with him, lest I see Xuande later, and it will be difficult to speak. ”

"Mao has her own measure!" Cai Mao's words are authentic. Liu Biao didn't seem to care, and immediately ordered someone to set up a banquet to celebrate Cai Mao's promotion. Cai Maozhi was so proud that he returned drunk. I don't know if I'm drunk and confused, Cai Mao vaguely felt that Liu Biao's eyes were not quite right when he looked at him.

After a few more days, Tai Shici of Luling led his troops to Wu County to meet Liu Bei and officially surrender after receiving Sun Quan's handwritten letter, and Liu Bei treated him well. Sun Jing and Zhuge Jin of Jiaozhou heard that the general trend had gone, so they did not be tough, Sun Jing sent Zhuge Jin to Jiangdong to officially surrender, Liu Bei also treated him well, and at the same time let Sun Quan and Sun Yi brothers go to Jiaozhou to take office. The day after the Sun brothers left, Liu Bei also officially announced that he would move the administrative office from Xuzhou City to Shouchun.
