In the spring of the eleventh year of Jian'an, Liu Chuang performed the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky in Luoyang and became the prime minister of the Han Dynasty.

This represents Liu Chuang's official entry into the center, and it is also the thing that Liu Chuang's old department is most looking forward to in the past. Liu Chuang's entry into the main center also indicates that old people like Xu Chutai, Shi Ci, and Xu Sheng, who initially followed Liu Chuang, will have a great future.

Tai Shici, as one of the parts that followed Liu Chuang for the longest time, was naturally very happy.

On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Tai Shici held a banquet in Liyang to celebrate Liu Chuang becoming the prime minister of the Han Dynasty and moving the capital to Luoyang. This was originally a very happy thing, and Tai Shici, who had always been cautious, was inevitably slack. But it was this moment of laxity that led to a tragedy. He never expected that just when he was throwing a banquet, Zhou Yu suddenly crossed the river and attacked Liyang...... For this sneak attack, Zhou Yu can be said to have worked hard and racked his brains.

The situation in Jiangdong was turbulent, Lu Xun's troops divided into two routes, led his troops to attack from Jiaozhou, bypassed Tailing Mountain, captured Nanye, and Chen soldiers were in Yuzhang Shuinan. And Liu Yong led another army of soldiers and horses, and he was already a supervisor of the army, and cooperated with the Zhou Cangshui army to attack the eastern harem and occupy Dongzhi.

This Dongzhi is the later Fuzhou City, Fujian Province.

At this time, Dongzhi was not the southeast pearl of later generations, located in the wilderness, and there were no people in a radius of 100 miles.

But Dongzhi is indeed the gateway of Huiji, and after Liu Yong occupies Dongzhi, with the navy of Zhoucang, he can continue to launch attacks on the coastal areas of Huiji. The two lines of soldiers and horses directly threatened the safety of the southeastern part of the country. But in fact, this is not the biggest threat to Jiangdong.

Since November, Gan Ning has led his troops to launch several attacks on Hangzhou Bay from the sea.

If it weren't for the fact that Huiji Taishou He Qi had already taken precautions, and the Jiangdong Navy had begun to take shape, maybe the entire Hangzhou Bay would have been under Gan Ning's control. The two sides fought several fierce battles on the front line of Hangzhou Bay, and Ganning had a slight upper hand, but it was difficult to land.

He Qi, as a famous general left behind in the Sun Ce period, may not be as famous as Zhou Yu, but in terms of ability, he is not inferior to Zhou Yu at all. Although Gan Ning took advantage of the boats, it was not an easy task to defeat He Qi's Jiangdong Navy...... In addition, what frightened Sun Quan the most was Zhang Liao, who was stationed in Hefei.

Who is Zhang Liao?

Lu Bu's eight strong generals, Liu Chuang's top ten generals.

Although Zhang Liaotun's troops in Hefei did not take any action, the continuous attack on Jiangdong and the momentum that had been created had already made Danyang panic. At this time, although Sun Quan had already overcome the chaotic situation after Sun Ce's death, his rule over Jiangdong was far from his control of Jiangdong in the late Three Kingdoms period in history.

Zhang Liao stationed 80,000 troops in Hefei, coupled with the threats of Gan Ning, Lu Xun and others in the east and south, the whole Jiangdong fell into panic.

In desperation, Sun Quan had no choice but to find Zhou Yu to discuss countermeasures.

And Zhou Yu's attitude is very clear: Anyone up and down Jiangdong can surrender, but only you, Sun Quan and Sun Zhongmou, can't surrender.

In the end, Sun Quan decided to hand over the Dajiang defense line to Zhou Yu.

To be honest, Zhou Yu is indeed very attentive.

Initially, he wanted to send someone to contact Liu Biao and contact Liu to fight against Liu. But the problem is that Jingzhou is now singing and dancing, and Liu Chuang did not show his intention to use troops in Jingzhou at all, and even crowned Liu Biao as the great Situ and led Jingxiang.

Liu Chuang released enough kindness to Liu Biao.

And the Jingzhou scholars were even more reluctant to be enemies with Liu Chuang, and most of them built a new army and Liu Biao.

In this case, Zhou Yu had the intention to unite with Liu Biao, but he had nowhere to start. However, Jiangxia Liu Qi secretly sent someone to come and expressed his willingness to help Zhou Yu. But who is Liu Qi? It's just a son who is not favored. Even if he is very capable and is more in charge of Jiangxia, it is difficult to give Zhou Yu much help......

However, Zhou Yu finally reached an agreement with Liu Qi.

After all, cooperating with Liu Qi can free Zhou Yu from the Jiangxia battlefield and no longer be constrained by Jingzhou.

The two sides decided to quit the army, and Zhou Yu led his troops to secretly arrive at Lujiang from Peng Lize...... He is originally from Lujiang and has a lot of prestige in Lujiang. The song is wrong, and the legend of Zhou Langgu is still circulating in Lujiang. Mei Zhoulang's name still has the influence of tomatoes. Zhou Yu secretly arrived at the nest, and then sent someone to contact Sun Jing. Sun Jing, Sun Jian's younger brother and Sun Quan's uncle, has no rival prestige in Jiangdong, and also shoulders the position of Danyang Taishou.

Before Zhou Yu came, Sun Jing had always been presiding over the battle.

Even if Zhou Yu was appointed by Sun Quan, he still had to maintain enough respect for Sun Jing on the scene.

Subsequently, Sun Jing said that she couldn't afford to be sick.

The reason why Tai Shici is lax is because of this.

Sun Jing said that he couldn't afford to be sick, and his vigilance weakened a lot...... But he didn't expect that this was just a ploy by Sun Jing and Zhou Yu. When Tai Shici relaxed his vigilance, Zhou Yu dispatched troops in Juchao, secretly dispatched dead soldiers, and mixed into Liyang City. On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Tai Shici held a banquet, and Zhou Yu realized that the time was ripe.

While the city was celebrating, Zhou Yu sent the dead soldiers who had infiltrated Liyang to suddenly seize the city gate and let Jiangdong soldiers and horses attack Liyang. At the same time, Sun Jing's troops even broke through Niuzhu, attacked across the river, and joined forces with Zhou Yu to conquer Liyang.

Tai Shi Ci had a chance to break through, but when he knew that Liyang was lost, he felt extremely ashamed.

Therefore, he stayed in the city and fought to the death, but in the end, because of the large number of Jiangdong soldiers, he died in Liyang City......

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Liu Chuang's eyes were closed, and there was a touch of sadness on his face.

He listened carefully to Sima Yi's statement, and suddenly slapped the book case, "Ziyi, why are you so stubborn?"

Where there is life, there is hope. If you live, you will eventually have a chance to take revenge, but if you die in battle now, it will break my liver and intestines. ”

The scenes of acquaintance with Tai Shici flashed in Liu Chuang's mind.

Ten years have passed, Tai Shici has followed him for ten years, seeing that his great cause is about to be accomplished, but he doesn't want to die in battle.

Zhou Yu, Sun Quan!

Liu Chuang gritted his teeth, raised his head after a while and asked, "Ziyi's corpse, have you taken it back?" ”

Sima Yi hurriedly said: "Zhou Gongjin is a rule-talker, and after occupying Liyang, he sent Ziyi's body back.

Wen Yuan had ordered someone to collect Ziyi's body and was on his way to Luoyang. ”

"Yuan Fu, do you know?"

"We've just gotten the news...... He was going to ask his lord for war, but I persuaded him. ”

"Let him immediately lead the Fei Xiong Wei headquarters to meet Ziyi's coffin, and then send someone to Liaoxi to inform Ziyi's wife and ask her to come to do it. Zhongda, Ziyi has been with me for ten years, following me and me in my most difficult times, never abandoning. Now that he is gone, my heart is truly sad...... You wait for me to handle his funeral**, and then bury him on the bank of Luoshui. ”

"Whoa!"

"I'm a little confused right now, so you can go down first.

By the way, remember to inform Wen Ruo and Mr. Wen He to come over, I have something to discuss with them......"

"Understood."

Sima Yi also knew that Liu Chuang was in a bad mood at the moment.

Tai Shici was the first old man to follow Liu Chuang, although he later ranked at the bottom of the top ten generals, but his status was incomparable even to Zhao Yun and Zhang Liao. Now, Tai Shici's death in Liyang is definitely a huge blow to Liu Chuang. At this time, Liu Chuang needed to be quiet, and it was indeed not suitable for discussing business. This is also the reason why Sima Yi did not let Tai Shixiang come to Liu Chuang...... Because he knew very well that Tai Shixiang came to see Liu Chuang at this time, not only would it not alleviate Liu Chuang's sadness, but would intensify Liu Chuang's anger and even make unreasonable decisions.

Liu Chuang is Sima Yi's cousin, and now he is everyone's expectation and sustenance.

Sima Yi would never let Liu Chuang do anything wrong...... Zhuge Liang is no longer by Liu Chuang's side, and Sima Yi takes on the role of Liu Chuang's adviser.

After Sima Yi left, Liu Chuang sat quietly in the room alone.

After a long time, he stood up, walked behind the railing, and looked at the drizzle outside, but the sadness in his heart became more and more intense.

As time passed, as his status changed, there were fewer and fewer old people who followed him at the beginning...... Uncle, far away in Dongzhi; Buqi went to Jiaozhou. Lü Dai sat in Zhongshan, and Guan Hai stayed in Youzhou.

Calculated carefully, there are few old people left who followed Liu Chuang to fight from Qu County back then.

In addition to Chang Sheng and Pei Wei, only Xu Sheng was by Liu Chuang's side...... As for the people who followed Liu Chuang from Jiangdong to Runan back then, it seems that only Xiao Ling is still there. Liu Chuang took a deep breath and tried to stabilize his mind.

At this moment, footsteps sounded behind him.

Liu Chuang turned around and saw Elk and Zhuge Ling standing behind him, Xun Dan, Lu Lan, Zhen Mi, Du Zhen and Mrs. Gan behind Elk.

"Why are you here?"

Seeing Lu Jin and the others, Liu Chuang couldn't help but be stunned.

Lu Jin said softly: "Prime Minister, Fang heard bad news, General Ziyi returned to heaven."

The concubine was worried that her husband would be sad, so she came to visit. ”

"I ...... It's okay! ”

Liu Chuang tried his best to stabilize his feelings, and said in a deep voice: "Ziyi's coffin will be sent to Luoyang in the next few days, and I will hold a funeral for him." It will take some time for his wife to arrive in Luoyang, so these ** will pay more attention to Yuan Fu on my behalf.

Ziyi is gone, and it is even more sad to think about Yuanfu......"

"Concubine, understood!"

After talking to Elk and others in the house for a while, Liu Chuang's mood improved a lot.

At this time, Deng Ai came in to report that Xun Yu and Jia Xu had arrived. Liu Chuang stood up, and Lu Jin and the others hurriedly said goodbye. He walked out of the room, stopped again, and called out to him: "Lingyan, later, you will send someone to tell Second Brother Sù and ask him to build a high platform in the North Palace, called Lingyan Pavilion." ”

"Huh?"

"He said, I want to make Ziyi, Gongmei, Gongliu and Xue Zhou all be ranked in the Lingyan Pavilion and leave their names in history."

Elk was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly agreed.

Now the one who is responsible for the construction of the imperial city is Lu Fang.

It is not a difficult task to build Lingyan Pavilion...... But from Liu Chuang's words, Elk Jin can still hear a different taste.

++++++++++++++++

The Prime Minister's Mansion is not a palace.

Xun Yu Jia Xu has been waiting for a long time.

They also hurried to the temple after receiving the news.

In addition to the two of them, Lu Yu, Sima Fang, and Xu Shu were all waiting outside the palace, all with worried expressions on their faces.

"Why should you be like this, it's just a small defeat, and it doesn't hinder the overall situation."

When Liu Chuang came to the palace and saw that everyone was nervous, he smiled and said.

Seeing Liu Chuang say this, everyone also breathed a sigh of relief. Xun Yu and the others were very scared that Liu Chuang would lose his heart because of Tai Shici's death. Now it seems that Liu Chuang still maintains his calmness, which also makes everyone feel inexplicably relaxed.

"Today, Zhou Yu commanded 30,000 troops, and the troops entered Xiaoyaojin."

Liu Chuang sat down on the main seat, signaled that everyone did not need to be restrained, and then said in a deep voice: "Ziyi is gone, I am like a brother." If this revenge is not avenged, how can it make the loyal ministers blind? I want to personally lead the soldiers and horses, go to Hefei to supervise the battle, and vow to kill Zhou Yu and avenge Ziyi. ”

When Xun Yu heard this, he hurriedly got up and said, "Prime Minister, you don't have to do it yourself." ”

"Oh?"

"I know what the prime minister thinks is that he is worried that the defeat of Liyang will cause turmoil.

Today, when the son goes north, it is even more necessary for the prime minister to sit in the center, how can he act rashly? Besides, I have inquired that although Zhou Gongjin is stationed in Yaojin, he has been blocked by Wenyuan. Now Wenyuan has stabilized the situation in Hefei, if the prime minister goes to Hefei at this time, I am afraid that Wenyuan will be constrained. I heard people say that the prime minister once said: There is no doubt about employing people. Wen Yuan is talented, and the lord knows it very well. With him sitting in Hefei, it is that Zhou Lang, and he doesn't want to bargain...... However, Zhou Yu's troops in Lujiang are not a long-term solution after all...... I recommend one person, as long as he goes to Hefei, he will be able to help Wen Yuan defeat Zhou Yu. ”

"Who?"

"That's Guo Jia, Guo Fengxiao!"

Liu Chuang's heart moved, revealing a look of contemplation.

Guo Jia went to Nanyang to preside over the overall situation, and now that Youfa is in charge of Nanyang, Guo Jia will inevitably be constrained.

Instead of letting him stay in Nanyang, it is better to let him go to Lujiang.

Liu Chuang narrowed his eyes and said softly: "Wen Ruo, that Zhou Gongjin was resourceful and should not be underestimated. ”

"Don't worry, if you say that the person in the world who knows Zhou Gongjin best, it must be Fengxiao.

When Sun Ce was alive, Duke Cao made Fengxiao the governor of Jiangdong. He began to study the situation in Jiangdong from the third year of Jian'an, and told me more times that Zhou Yu was powerful. He knows Zhou Yu very well and believes that Zhou Gongjin is definitely not an opponent of filial piety. ”

Xun Yu's words revealed a meaning.

Cao ** has been peeking at Jiangdong since very early on, but he has no chance.

However, he appointed Guo Jia, a ghost, to plan the situation in Jiangdong, and before that, Guo Jia already knew Jiangdong well.

Want...... The death of Sun Bofu is afraid that it was due to Guo Jia's handiwork.

Liu Chuang nodded lightly, "In this case, I ordered Fengxiao to go to Lujiang immediately, worship the general of the military division, and help Wenyuan avenge Ziyi." In addition, he ordered Tai Shixiang to accompany him on the expedition, and then ordered people to go to Yecheng to recruit Xiao Ling and Xiao Zisheng to Hefei.

Pass on my order that Gan Ning should increase the speed of landing at Leadtang Bay, and it is necessary to speed up the progress of the battle against Jiangdong......"

"Slow!"

Just when Liu Chuang's order was issued, Xu Shu suddenly stood up.

"Yuan Zhi, what do you think?"

Xu Shu said with a smile: "In today's Jiangdong war, the lord has set up a three-way plan to advance simultaneously, but it is actually a two-sided attack.

The battle situation in Hefei, Shu is not worried...... With the courage of Wenyuan Gongming, supplemented by Mr. Guo's strategy, the overall situation can be determined; However, the opponent of General Xingba is not an idle person. I have heard that Naheqi is resourceful and has a high prestige in Huiji. This person must not be taken lightly, and I am afraid that Xingba is not his opponent. Jinxing occupies the advantage of living boats, and it only has a slight advantage. Once landed, the Jiangdong waterway crisscrossed and crisscrossed, and it was difficult for the big ships to exert their power, and Xingba was extremely unfamiliar with Jiangdong, so it was difficult to have a chance of winning.

Shu dared to ask for his life, went to help Xingba, and hoped that the lord would agree. ”

Since Xu Shu returned from Liangzhou, he has been very low-key.

He worshiped the captain of the Yue Cavalry, and was in charge of the East Cao of the Thirteen Cao of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and his status was only under Xun Yu, who was in charge of the West Cao.

Liu Chuang was also a little moved when he heard Xu Shu speak.

He looked at Sima Fang and Xun Yu, but saw that the two nodded in agreement.

"Yuan Zhi is willing to go, and General Xingba will be able to win."

At this moment, Jia Xu, who had been silent, spoke: "But I have a Jianyi, if Yuan goes straight to Jiangdong, he can lead one person."

With the help of this person, he will definitely be able to occupy Leadtang Bay without a single soldier. ”

Xu Shu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said: "Mr. Wenhe doesn't say it, Shu also intends to order."

It's just that I don't know if the person who Shu and Mr. Wenhe are talking about is the same person? ”

Jia Xu said: "In this case, why don't you and I write this person's name in the palm of our hands to see if the person you and I choose is the same?" ”

What's to be done?

Liu Chuang looked at the scene in front of him, and had a feeling that Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang were planning a fire attack.

However, he was also very interested, and he didn't know what kind of person Jia Xu and Xu Shu were thinking! Liu Chuang thought about it carefully, and couldn't think of who the important person Jia Xu and Xu Shu said was. At that moment, he ordered someone to take pen and ink, and Jia Xu and Xu Shu each held a stroke and wrote in the palm of their palms. Xun Yu, Sima Fang and others looked at the two with a smile, as if waiting for the two of them to reveal the final answer.

After a while, Jia Xu and Xu Shu wrote their names in the palm of their hands.

After the two looked at each other, they stepped forward, stretched out their hands, and spread their palms. Afterwards, Xu Shu and Jia Xu laughed.

"Yuan Zhi has this preparation, I believe that he will be able to succeed immediately."

Liu Chuang was confused, and asked in surprise: "Yuan Zhi, Mr. Jia, what are you ......?"

Xu Shu and Jia Xu glanced at each other, walked up to Liu Chuang, and stretched out their hands, "Prime Minister, if you get this person, it is better than 100,000 armor soldiers."

However, to get this person out of the horse, I am afraid that the lord will have to put a lot of effort into it. ”

Liu Chuang looked over and saw two words written on Xu Shu's palm: Sun Shao; And Jia Xu's palm reads Sun Ce's son.

Sun Shao?

If it weren't for Xu Shu and Jia Xu mentioning it, Liu Chuang would have almost forgotten about this person.

Isn't this little guy the one who had a conflict with Liu Pheasant at the beginning, and was later accepted by Tong Yuan as a person who entered the house and closed the door**?

Speaking of which, since the beginning of last year, Liu Chuang has not paid attention to this little guy anymore.

He only remembered that Sun Shao had followed Tong Yuan to Luoyang before, but he didn't know anything about the situation now.

"Sun Shao? I remember he was not even ten years old, so what could he do? ”

Liu Chuang said with a smile: "Even if this little guy has Tong Yuan to teach martial arts, but after all, he is young, how can he be He Qi's opponent?" ”

On the side, Xun Yu stood up and said: "Take him forward, not to let him fight on the battlefield, but to let him persuade He Qihe Gongmiao to surrender." ”
