Chapter 528: Liu Feng is back
Chapter 528: Liu Feng is back (second update)
Fourteen years of Jian'an, winter.
This season, many big things have happened in the world. Cao's soldiers and horses were frequently moved, and all the baggage was piled up to Xiangyang.
Zhou Yu and Liu Bei led an army of 80,000 to attack Jiangling. But the famous general Xu Huang relied on the strong city of Jiangling and the remnants of the 30,000 or 40,000 Cao army.
Garrisoned for months.
The two sides had countless corpses under Gangneung City, and rivers of blood flowed.
There is also Liaodong Gongsun Kang, who also took advantage of Cao Cào's weakness to unite Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang's brothers, who were far away in Wuhuan, to attack Youzhou.
and Zhang Liao's 20,000 people fought one after another, and each other won and lost.
On the Xiliang side, Ma Teng and Han Sui also took the opportunity to merge because of Cao Cào's weakness, and countless princes of Xiliang and Yongzhou gradually became a situation of more than ten princes.
Except for the local princes of Jiāo Prefecture and Yizhou, the whole world was almost caught in húnluàn. The outbreak of war is more divided than the original group of heroes.
When Lu Bu, Yuan Shu and others were still alive, there were even more, but fortunately.
Even in the seven counties under Liu Feng's rule, there was a constant wind. It is constantly rumored that some big clans were killed by Xu Shu and his army because of abnormal movements.
The most ruthless time, a certain Guiyang clan was wiped out by the three clans.
Xu Shu usually looks like a Confucian general, but he also has an iron-blooded side, in order to consolidate Liu Feng's power and eradicate dissidents in his own territory. No toleration.
For this reason, he did not hesitate to stain his hands with blood, and he was absolutely loyal.
However, there are still some places in the seven counties that are very stable. For example, Jiujiang, which is under the jurisdiction of Huang Zhong. This place is a partial county established by the four cities of Chaisang in the past.
Now, because it is in the rear, a city where Han people and Shanyue people live together. There were five castles in total.
One county of five cities is still on the small side.
But the population is 300,000, which is more than the population of some of the prosperous counties in the north.
In this place, because of the last time Liu Feng took natural disaster prevention measures, there were very few deaths and injuries among the people. Liu Feng also appointed good ministers, and the taxes were very small.
There is no big family, and it is strong. The will of the people. In addition to the five cities of xiǎoxiǎo, there are 35,000 people in the Huang Zhong department.
Such a terrifying number of troops deterred some of the only careerists. It can be said that almost no one in Jiujiang dared to rebel on the charge of killing their heads.
Even if Liu Feng is really dead.
The security that comes with an absolute army, and the spending power that comes with the size of the population. Jiujiang County is also one of the most prosperous counties under Liu Feng's rule.
There is an endless stream of merchant ships coming and going every day.
On this day, there was still a caravan composed of several large ships, which crossed the defense line of Soochow, and came to the vicinity of the largest ferry in Jiujiang.
This caravan ships are very different, and at a glance, it is clear that it is a caravan formed by the joint efforts of several merchants. Very ordinary look.
But the leader of this caravan knew that his team was not simple. At least one big ship is sharp.
The leader of this caravan was surnamed Bi and was named. It is a powerful patriarch in Moling County, who is not very big. Such a strong and powerful is nothing in the Shi clan, and Jiangdong, which is full of heroes.
But what I want to say is that this ability is top-notch. As the patriarch of such a small family, unite the families that are almost as big as xiǎo, and unite. Against those big families, big businessmen.
Over the years, with the development of his own side, he has vaguely become a first-class figure in Jiangdong. The energy is so great that it must not be looked at.
But Bi Wei is a person who is very cautious and never looks down on people because of his power and wealth. Because Bi Wei knows very well that a mountain is higher than a mountain.
If one day you bully others and offend people who are more powerful and wealthy than you, it will be a disaster.
Originally, this caravan set off from Moling, passed through Jiujiang, and finally arrived in Shudi. This road has to be walked three or four times a year.
They knew the way, and because the caravans were so numerous, few fools dared to rob them.
The journey was smooth sailing at first, until a large ship asked to join them on the way, claiming to be from Wu County, afraid of encountering thieves on the way, hoping to go with them.
Jiangdong people have always been very xenophobic, and in the current war period, they are afraid of encountering something and causing themselves to be burned, so Bi Wei refused on the spot.
I thought this was the end of it.
But when Bi Wei led everyone to sail to the Lujiang River, he encountered the largest group of thieves in the Jianghuai River, a water thief under Lei Xu.
The two sides fought against each other and lost the battle. Just when he was in despair, the big ship he had rejected appeared earlier.
On that day, there was a great shock. Several large ships and one or two thousand water thieves were killed by more than 100 soldiers who cut melons and vegetables.
saved Bi Wei, who was almost desperate.
At that time, Bi Wei wanted to board the ship to thank and apologize. On that day, Bi Wei learned that the owner of the ship was surnamed Lu, and he was a very young Wu Jun.
Thinking of the guards in this ship being so strong, Bi Wei guessed that this person might be a disciple of the Lu clan of Wu County, and he was also an important one.
Immediately knotted jiāo's heart.
Even the day is jiāo, and Bi is impressed by the temperament of the young man surnamed Lu. Whether it is talking or Feng Yi, it shows that the child surnamed Lu is the child of the top family.
Bi Wei was even more convinced that this person was a disciple of the Lu family.
On this day, after coming to Jiujiang Ferry, Bi Wei also wanted to invite the children surnamed Lu to have dinner together. But after the ship docked, the children of the Lu clan boarded Mén first.
When Bi Wei heard the report from his subordinates, he was overjoyed and hurriedly got off the boat. Under the boat, there is a young man in his twenties and a dignified appearance.
"Lu Gongzi came just in time." A bright smile appeared on Bi Wei's face, and he bowed and stepped off the boat.
"The old man is planning to dine with Chen Gui and them, and Lu Gongzi must go with him." Bi Wei smiled at this Lu disciple.
The so-called Chen Gui is the owner of another ship in this caravan.
"No, our destination is in Jiujiang." The Lu family disciple shook his head with a smile and said. Immediately, he raised his fist again and said: "This time I am here for Mr. Xiang, thank you Mr. for taking care of me all the way." ”
This Lu family disciple is Lu Xun, along the way, Liu Feng wanted to form a group with Jiangdong people in order to hide people's eyes, but no one accepted it.
It wasn't until I met Bi Wei that I was with it. Successfully crossed the Jiangdong water pass along the river.
This thank you is a must.
"What? Didn't Childe say that the purpose of this trip was Shudi?" Bi was surprised.
"Hehe, this trip is a bit secretive, and it is not appropriate to reveal it to others. At the beginning, xiǎozi lied to Mr. and asked Mr. not to be surprised. Lu Xun said to Bi Wei calmly.
Lu Xun admitted so frankly that this trip was secretive. Although Bi Wei was a little unhappy with Lu Xun's concealment, he reluctantly accepted it.
"Take care, sir, xiǎozi is leaving." After a delay for a while, Lu Xun felt the time and said goodbye.
"Take care." In this way, what else can be done, Bi Wei can only reluctantly say goodbye to this Lu disciple.
Bi Wei felt extremely regretful in his heart, and he missed the opportunity to marry the Lu family. But when Bi Wei raised his head, he was stunned.
I saw that after Lu Xun went back, he straddled a war horse. But this is not the most important, the most important thing is that Lu Xun can only succumb to the side.
In the middle of it was a very luxurious carriage. The fierce guards were all around the carriage, and it seemed that the real masters were the people in the carriage.
Could it be that this xiǎo son claims to be a disciple of the Lu family and is deceiving the old man? This was Bi Wei's first thought. But then it was overturned, because it was unlikely.
Such a person, who has a bearing, self-cultivation, and a good conversation. must have been born in those big families and claimed to be the Lu family, and it would never be wrong.
But this Lu disciple now looks more like a retainer. Could it be that Sun Quan, the lord of Jiangdong, is sitting in this carriage?
Will Sun Quan leave Jiangdong? Unlikely.
But even if it's not Sun Quan, it's an extremely prominent person.
Thinking that he had missed such a character on the road, the regret in Bi Wei's heart suddenly increased tenfold.
Pounding xiōng paused, shouting pity.
"Why is Brother Bi so annoyed?" The owner of a ship traveling with Bi Wei, Chen Gui came to Bi Wei's side and asked strangely.
Bi Wei began to pour bitter water on Chen Guida. Chen Gui was dumbfounded when he heard this, on the southeast side, someone actually used the children of the Lu family as retainers.
This, they actually lost the opportunity to set with such a powerful figure Jiāo. Really, a presumptuous businessman.
Soon after, the rest of the caravan also gathered. After hearing this, everyone was full of remorse.
For the remorse of these businessmen, Liu Feng naturally couldn't hear it. Even if he heard it, Liu Feng would only smile slightly.
Ignore it.
Businessmen seek profit. Today you are in a prominent position, and he is married. If the sun sets in the coming day, I'm afraid you will change your face again.
This is true for most of the world's merchants. For example, Mi Zhu and others pay attention to righteousness and become officials, but they are very few big businessmen.
This journey is really boring for Liu Feng.
After arriving at Jiujiang, Liu Feng did not plan to continue to take the boat, but should take a carriage and return to Jiangxia by land. In addition to this, Liu Feng also wanted to meet Huang Zhong.
Find out what has happened in the past few days. The most important thing is to ask Pang Tong if Xu Shu and these people are developing according to the plan.
Is the time for the Northern Expedition really come?
"Cheer up some jīng gods, and you're about to see your mother." Next to him, Sun Shangxiang said to Sun Shao.
Although Sun Shao is a native of Jiangdong, he has never taken a boat from Xiǎo Jinyi Yù food. Along the way, it is a sea route and a river road.
Let this xiǎo guy vomit up and down, almost prostration. Until now, he is still crying with a sad face and hanging his head.
"Hmm." I have long heard Sun Shangxiang say that his mother is still alive. Sun Shao's eyes lit up slightly when he heard this, and his head suddenly became much better.
Liu Feng smiled slightly when he heard this, Sun Shao can see Da Qiao, and he can also see his wife. I don't know, what happened to Xiǎo Qiao and Huan'er.
Whether it was produced or not.
Liu Feng thought expectantly.
