"Report, send a battle report from the front!" In the spring of Yangzhou Shouchun, Liu Mang sat in the main hall and sent a battle report from Jiangdong.

This has been more than half a month since Sun Ce played.

"Bring it up." Liu Mang waved his hand to the herald below, and a war report was sent to Liu Mang's hand, this Jiangdong fight is really fierce, where are these two brothers brothers, they are completely enemies, even if it is the enemy 1, it is basically a 24-hour siege of the city, unless the moon does not come out and the light is not good, otherwise it has been attacking the city and attacking the city.

In just half a month, Sun Ce's command has killed more than 10,000 people in battle, and countless people have been injured. Sun Quan on the city wall couldn't stand it well, and the corpses were almost piled up on half of the city wall.

"This Sun Ce and Sun Bofu are really capable of fighting." Liu Mang looked at the battle report and said, he still remembers this Sun Ce's siege of the city, when the battle of Anhui City was fought, Liu Mang almost died in the hands of Sun Ce.

"He, Sun Ce, is not able to fight, but does he have any other options besides fighting? If the lord sends troops, then Sun Quan will die for Sun Quan's life. He, Sun Ce, has to fight if he doesn't fight. Zhuge Liang on the side sneered and said.

If the Yangzhou army sends troops, a city is naturally not a problem, Zhang Zhao's strategy is outdated, when we were in Yuzhou, our Liu Bei Liu Da'er had finished this trick, and the final outcome was that the entire city was slaughtered, and the Yangzhou army died more than 30,000 people in the first battle. In order to give an explanation to these Yangzhou soldiers, Lu Bu also wanted to warn others not to play this trick, so Dingcheng was really left behind.

If Yangzhou sends troops and horses to attack the current Huiji, then Sun Quan, as the culprit, will not have a way to live. Liu Mang wanted to be loved by the soldiers in Yangzhou. It was necessary to kill Sun Quan to comfort the souls of the soldiers who died in the Yangzhou army. If you spare Sun Quan's life, then other enemies will follow suit, so Sun Quan will die, and now Sun Ce will attack it is different, fight to the death, no matter how big the loss is, it will be the death and injury of the Jiangdong army, and Liu Mang will pay a little money and grain and grass at most. Liu Mang doesn't care at all, in this way, even if Sun Quan is defeated and Huiji is attacked, then Liu Mang doesn't need to kill Sun Quan, at most the people of Jiangdong hate these two people to the bone, what does it have to do with him Liu Mang.

So the more fierce Sun Ce is fighting now, it means that the more he wants his younger brother Sun Quan to live.

"Send another batch of grain and grass to Sun Ce, and let him work for the army." Liu Mang smiled and said to the Hubu Shangshu Mizhu on the side.

"The lord doesn't need to send grain and grass, and then allocate 5,000 gold to Wu Hou." Zhuge Liang said.

"Huh?" Liu Mang was a little confused.

"Lord, until now, his Sun Ce's grain and grass will only eat more and more. And what he lacks most now is not food and grass, but money? Zhuge Liang said with a smile.

Liu Mang saw Zhuge Liang's smile, thought about it, and then understood. Sun Ce's soldiers and horses are fighting less and less, and there are more casualties, the grain and grass that was originally given to the 50,000 army to eat has now become only 30,000 people to eat, and in a few days, more people will die, and in the end the grain and grass will only be more and not less, so it is not necessary to give grain and grass, but it is different to give gold and silver, you Sun Ce is going to die in war, you die more, then there will be more pensions naturally needed, and the gold sent by Liu Mang just came in handy.

"Good! According to Kong Ming's words, he sent 5,000 gold to Wu Hou and asked him to fight hard, and he would have a reward after the fight. Liu Mang said with a smile.

"Lord, Liang has something to ask for Lord." Zhuge Liang suddenly spoke.

"Huh?" Liu Mang was stunned for a moment, when did Zhuge Demon Evil talk so well, on weekdays, Zhuge Demon Evil was uncomfortable if he didn't raise the bar with Liu Mang, so Liu Mang sometimes called him Zhuge Villager angrily, but this time Zhuge Liang put his posture very low.

"Kong Ming has something to say." Liu Mang waved his hand at Zhuge Liang and said.

"My lord must promise me first!" Zhuge Liang is a scoundrel, and he wants Liu Mang to agree first, otherwise he won't get up.

"Okay, okay, okay, promise you." Liu Mang is very comfortable in his heart, this Zhuge villager also has a time to ask for a brother, but Liu Mang is still a little frowned, even Zhuge demons ask for people, this matter is not very easy to do.

"Liang wants to ask for an official position for Liang's brother!" Zhuge Liang said to Liu Mang.

"Zhuge Jin?" Liu Mang thought of who Zhuge Liang's brother was.

"Exactly! Liang wanted to ask for the position of the left attendant of the Ministry of Justice. Zhuge Liang said to Liu Mang.

The left squire of the ministry? This official position is really not small, the secretary is Lu Su, the left servant of the ministry is Lu Su's deputy, in addition to Lu Su is his biggest, and even if Lu Su is not there, this person is the temporary secretary of the ministry, and the responsibility of the ministry is to supervise and assess all the officials in Yangzhou, this right is not small. It is precisely because the position of the left servant of this ministry is very important, so Liu Mang is another person who will never abuse people.

Liu Mang thought about it, Zhuge Jin still has the ability, the original trajectory is to achieve the official position of General Yuzhou Mu, although it is only far from Dongwu, but in this way, it is also a country.

The ability is there, and there is another is character, if this person bends the law for personal gain, then the left waiter of the ministry can't give this person, and it seems that Zhuge Jin doesn't want to be that kind of cunning person, Sun Quan sent Zhuge Jin and his younger brother to discuss the demarcation of the border, and in the end the two of them did not talk about the slightest private matter, which proves that this person's virtue is still good.

Liu Mang nodded, "Yes!" "Liu Mang's Yangzhou is really short of officials, and it's not bad for Zhuge Jin to do it, especially now that Lu Su is not there. The ministry needs a person who can be dispatched.

"Lord!" Liu Mang had already agreed to Zhuge Liang, but Zhuge Liang was still squirming over there, which made Liu Mang very puzzled.

"What's wrong? Does Kong Ming still have anyone to recommend? Liu Mang asked suspiciously.

"No, no! Liang also has one more thing to ask the lord. Zhuge Liang said to Liu Mang.

"Let's talk about it together." Liu Mang rolled his eyes at Zhuge Liang.

"Can the lord go and invite my brother?" Zhuge Liang said embarrassedly to Liu Mang.

Okay! This feeling is that I have to go and ask Zhuge Jin to be an official. It turned out that after Sun Ce surrendered to Liu Mang, although Sun Ce came back, Zhuge Jin still had to leave. Because Koto is no longer the Koto it used to be. He, Zhuge Jin, is no longer a long envoy. Jiangdong will naturally have an official court sent by Liu Mang, the king of Shu, to take over, so Zhuge Jin will leave Jiangdong and go back to Jingzhou after completing the affairs of Yiqiē.

"No way!" Liu Mang didn't even think about these two words.

"Is the lord very embarrassed?" Zhuge Liang was a little gloomy, "Lord, my brother has great talent, enough to be worthy of the position of the left waiter of the ministry, and I hope that the lord will cherish it." ”

"No, it's not embarrassing! What's so embarrassing about this, what is the most precious thing in the world, not money. It's not jewelry, it's this talent! Zhuge Jin is talented, and I, the king of Shu, just walked up. Liu Mang was stunned not because he was embarrassed, but because he was shocked that he almost missed a great talent, fortunately, Zhuge Liang warned himself and asked him to invite Zhuge Jin, if Zhuge Liang hadn't told him, Zhuge Jin would have left, what Liu Mang had always thought was that since you Sun Ce had surrendered, the group of younger brothers below Sun Ce were not all his Liu Mang's younger brothers. But I didn't expect these little brothers to be able to leave by themselves. Liu Mang counted with his fingers. In addition to Zhou Yu, the governor of Sun Ce, there are also Lu Meng Lingchao, and even those veterans such as Huang Gai or something are all talents, if one is missed, Liu Mang will not cry to death.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" Thinking like this, Liu Mang became even more anxious. "Kong Ming quickly follow me."

"Your lord?" Zhuge Liang was even more confused, not understanding why Liu Mang was here.

"Let's go, let's go to Jiangdong, my talents, my generals, you have to wait for me." Liu Mang directly picked up Zhuge Liang and rushed out, and soon Liu Mang boarded the warship of the Yangzhou army, and Lu Xun directly sent the flagship to him, in order to escort Liu Mang to Jiangdong.

"Madame, it's windy on the river, let's go to the cabin." A woman above the flagship was staring at the other side of the Yangtze River with her eyes shining, her eyes lingering on the scenery of the Yangtze River, as if she wanted to carve this qiē into her eyes.

"Your Majesty, it doesn't matter if you are a concubine!" The woman whispered.

"How can it not matter, you can get cold these days!" Liu Mang blamed the woman.

"Husband, you are really!" The woman blushed suddenly, because Liu Mang said that the past few days were really unspeakable, and now people say that the eldest aunt or something is very indifferent, and it doesn't even matter if a man goes to buy an aunt's towel, but in ancient times, it was the last thing that a woman was shy about.

"Well, I'm afraid I won't have to see it when I go to Jiangdong." Liu Mang coaxed the beauty in his arms, but the beauty in his arms was obviously unwilling.

"If you don't go in again, I'll let Bo Yan arrange a boat for you to send you back." Liu Mang threatened, and the woman reluctantly walked into the cabin.

Liu Mang looked at the woman's back, turned his head and looked at the scenery on the Yangtze River, and couldn't help opening his mouth to come, "Rolling the Yangtze River, the passing water and waves sweep away the heroes." Success or failure turns empty, the green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times. ”

"Good sentence, good sentence!" A complimenting voice sounded, Liu Mang didn't need to turn around to know who it was, white eyes, he Liu Mang didn't know that this was a good sentence! You have to know what the owner of this word says, it is also a generation of Confucianism.

"Bo Yan, these days, are you still used to being the commander of this naval army?" Liu Mang directly ignored the Zhuge villager, but asked Lu Xun on the side.

"This, this uncle, thank you for the cultivation of the lord." Lu Xun knelt and hugged his fist at Liu Mang, Lu Xun was very grateful to Liu Mang, their Lu family has been completely dilapidated since his grandfather Lu Kang, and the Lu family is even more in crisis, and he is about to be kicked out of the ranks of the scholars.

"It's not my cultivation, it's your ability!" Liu Mang shook his head and said, "Bo Yan, if you are ruthless to me, you have no chance to take revenge." Liu Mang said to Lu Xun. Lu Xun Lu Jiana and Sun Ce have a deep hatred, although Lu Kang was not killed by Sun Ce himself, but Sun Ce was forced to die, and it was Sun Ce who made the Lu family ruined, and now Sun Ce has also surrendered to Liu Mang, Sun Ce's sister Sun Shangxiang has become Lu Xun's housewife, it can be said that Lu Xun will not have a chance to take revenge again. Liu Mang won't let Lu Xun kill Sun Ce!

"Xun doesn't hate!" Lu Xun said to Liu Mang.

"Huh. Don't hate? Don't dare. Liu Mang smiled bitterly and shook his head. How can a family feud be forgotten all at once?

Liu Mang's words made Lu Xun silent. Indeed, Lu Xun will not hate Sun Ce? No! He is very Sun Ce, if it weren't for Sun Ce, their Lu family would not be like this, his grandfather would not have died, his grandfather is basically equivalent to Lu Xun's father, but what can he do if he hates it, now he Lu Xun married someone from the Sun family (Sun Shangxiang's maid married Lu Xun, Liu Mang simply let Miss Sun recognize the little maid as his sister) The eldest lady of the Sun family has become his housewife, and now Sun Ce is also going to surrender. They are about to be officials in the same temple, how can he do it?

"Bo Yan, hate is hate, hate or not hate, manly husband, you have to live a chic life, love and hate clearly," Liu Mang patted Lu Xun on the shoulder.

"My lord?" Zhuge Liang on the side was about to remind Liu Mang as soon as he heard this, you said that this lord didn't want to alleviate the contradictions under his hands, you still provoked, did you want this Lu Xun to kill Sun Ce? If Lu Xun kills Sun Ce. Then Lu Xun can't live. Colleagues kill each other, capital crimes.

"Go aside!" Liu Mang waved his hand at Zhuge Villager.

"But this hatred is also separated. You see that although Sun Ce forced Lu Taishou to death, but at that time he was also his own master, and now Sun Ce is an official in the same hall as you, you can't kill him, but it doesn't mean that you can't retaliate against him, for example, your official position is bigger than him, and you are his peak, so when he sees you, he naturally wants to bow down and kowtow, think about it, in such a scene, his enemy kneels down in front of him and respectfully faces himself, isn't this feeling very cool" Liu Mang's words changed direction, making Zhuge Liang even more confused

"Let Sun Ce surrender at my feet? Bow down and prostrate? Lu Xun thought about it along Liu Mang's train of thought, he seemed to see Sun Ce kneeling in front of him and shouting to him Marshal General, kill a person and agree, it is not easy for you to let him kneel in front of you.

The more Lu Xun thought about it, the more his eyes lit up, and he knelt down directly towards Liu Mang, "Lu Xun, thank you for your public explanation." Lu Xun's bitterness in his heart for many days was finally revealed, after Lu Xun took his wife, and after Sun Ce surrendered, Lu Xun was depressed, but the enemy could not take revenge in front of himself, how bad this feeling is, if Sun Ce is killed, then it is not good for the lord, and it is not good for his wife, and it is still Lu Xun who sent Sun Ce back to Jiangdong the day before yesterday. Now that Liu Mang is so enlightened, he is immediately much more comfortable.

"Hehe, it's good to understand, it's good to understand!" Liu Mang nodded, he was really afraid that Lu Xun and Sun Ce would have a quarrel, you must know that Sun Ce is Liu Mang's brother-in-law, and Lu Xun is Liu Mang's confidant.

"Lord!" Lu Xun spoke again.

"So? Bo Yan, still haven't figured it out? Liu Mang frowned and asked.

"No, my lord, Xun, the commander of Jiangxia, doesn't want to do it." Lu Xun said to Liu Mang, "Xun is willing to step down as commander, go to General Gan Ning to accept him as a captain, and gallop the sea with the general." I also hope that the Lord will be perfected. "There is a reason for Lu Xun's request, that is, the group of sailors who went to the sea with Gan Ning came back and laughed at Lu Xun's subordinates for being a bunch of landlubbers.

What are landlubbers, they are elite sailors, they are the people who defeated the Jiangdong Army and the Jingzhou Army, the two overlords of the Yangtze River, how can they be called landlubbers, but after listening to the explanations of those Gan Ning's soldiers and horses, they were silent one by one, and indeed compared to the vast sea, their landlubbers in the stream are indeed nothing.

So what Lu Xun has always wanted is to gallop the sea.

"Haha! It turns out that Bo Yan is talking about this! Rest assured, two years at most, or as soon as a year and a half, you will have the opportunity to gallop the sea. Liu Mang said to Lu Xun.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Lu Xun was overjoyed, and thanked Liu Mang.

Liu Mang did not deceive Lu Xun This is indeed the case, the inland river navy will always be a landlubber, only when it goes to sea and enters the sea, that is the real navy that Liu Mang needs, the reason why Lu Xun's soldiers and horses are still there two reasons, the first reason is that Jingzhou has not yet been taken, so the navy is still needed to deal with Jingzhou, and there is another reason that Liu Mang has not yet built the warship he wants, and now Gan Ning has Galen ships in his hands, this kind of warship, in the inland river it is the overlord, in the open sea, it is really small, and even the far sea can't go out, now Gan Ning is just touching the coastline and acting, once there is a strong wind, he has to go back to avoid the wind.

Such a navy can only be used to do business with Liaodong, waiting for Liu Mang's warships to be built, then Liu Mang will completely remove the inland water army, and at most leave a battalion of soldiers and horses to maintain order on the Yangtze River, which is equivalent to the marine police, and all other naval forces have been transformed into navies, so Lu Xun's request is not a request at all, and Liu Mang can of course agree.

When Liu Mang was thinking, soon the warship arrived on the other side of the Yangtze River, outside the Jianye Water Army Barracks, and now the Jianye Water Army Barracks is hanging on the battle flag of the Yangzhou Army, and the garrison inside is naturally also the Yangzhou Army to take over, Sun Ce has already pulled down his 50,000 troops Huiji and Sun Quan are dead, so the current Jianye City is completely under Liu Mang's takeover. (To be continued......)
