Before the New Year Festival in the eighth year of the Chu calendar, Liang Mao, who had been in Liaodong for a long time to "endure humiliation and burden", finally "returned" to Chu State.

Liang Mao is actually not from Chudi, when he was a magistrate before, before going to Liaodong, he also served in Xuzhou and Qingzhou.

However, since he contacted Gan Ning and began to "cooperate" with the Chu State, he not only sent his children to the Chu State, but also ...... I also have a greater sense of belonging to the Chu State.

Now this is the first time that Liang Mao has set foot in his "homeland......

Bai Tu also greeted Liang Mao eagerly, not only at the gate of Jinling City, but even pulled him and Gongsun Kang to ride with him, and even ...... In terms of eagerness, Gongsun Kang felt that he was the companion!

If it weren't for Liang Mao, Bai Tu probably wouldn't have asked him to get in the car.

That's right, now Gongsun Kang has also come to the Chu State, even including most of the relatives of the Gongsun clan!

As for that small part, it is the second who failed to break through and was killed and captured.

Gongsun Kang didn't regard Chu as his homeland, but he knew that Chu was his lifeline......

With his importance to the Wei State, even if he can escape to the Fried Seafood Peninsula or even to Goguryeo after breaking through the siege, I am afraid that the Wei State will not give up the pursuit.

However, when he crossed the sea to the Chu State, the Wei State really had nothing to do with him.

When Liu Yi first mentioned this matter to him, Gongsun Kang was so angry that he wanted to cut people, but after Liu Yi's tearful persuasion and analysis, Gongsun Kang also had to admit that this was his only "life".

Originally, even if he understood this, Gongsun Kang would not be willing to come to Chu State......

After all, Chu Guo looked at his "active service", at most, he did not pursue the previous discord, as for what he wanted to establish and what treatment he wanted to vote for, he didn't even think about it.

However, Liu Yi then used Gongsun Kang's heirs to persuade him, and he also talked a lot of nonsense, saying that the Gongsun family had been in Liaodong for two generations for 30 years, and the people's hearts were stable......

Gongsun Kang believed that he could play a role in the Chu State, that is, he could get the corresponding treatment, so that he would not be put under house arrest or ridiculed as soon as he arrived in Jinling, so he half-agreed with half a push.

However, seeing that this had arrived in Jinling, Gongsun Kang became more and more uncomfortable.

Unlike Zhang Lu, Gongsun Kang was full of ambition before, and even broke the contract to attack the ports of Chu.

Now he wants to be a vassal to the State of Chu, and it is not a "country of vassals", but a real and willing subordinate...... How can there be no gap in Gongsun Kang's heart?

Especially when he saw Bai Tu, he unabashedly regarded Liang Mao as the protagonist, and regarded him, the king of Yan, as a supporting role......

But it's all here, and it's too late to regret it!

Even if Gongsun Kang was not convinced, he tried to be patient.

When he arrived in the main hall of Jiangshan Pavilion, in front of the King of Chu and his ministers, Gongsun Kang even bitterly stated that he was deceived by the King of Wei and the Marquis of Qi.

In a word......

Turning his face with the State of Chu was the result of the King of Wei and the Marquis of Qi deceiving him, and now he has repented, hoping that the King of Chu can do the right thing for heaven and dominate the mountains and rivers.

At the same time, he also did not forget that according to what Liu Yi said, he "voluntarily" gave up the title of Marquis of Yan who was a villain, returned Jiuxi, and was only willing to accept the title of Chu State and contribute to the construction of Chu State.

Bai Tu doesn't tell how much truth there is, anyway, people are already in Jinling, so it doesn't matter if the "emotion" is true or not - anyway, Bai Tu didn't really want to use him!

However, on the surface, he still encouraged and comforted Gongsun Kang, and named him the Marquis of Shicheng, which was also hereditary, but there were only 2,000 households in Shiyi, and ...... Shicheng County, just on Jinling Road!

The feudal marquis of Chu State only has the right to manage the fiefdom and does not have the right to manage the fiefdom, that is, he can only get the agricultural tax of the number of households in the eup, and he has no master-slave relationship with the peasant households under the yi, so he can only choose to collect the agricultural tax according to the standards of the imperial court, or...... Less tax.

And the food is in Jinling Road, which undoubtedly leaves Gongsun Kang in the capital completely, and can only be a Hou Ye with some food in the future, but no real power.

At the same time, Liang Mao was also named the county marquis, the same hereditary replacement, the same 2,000 households, and later awarded the official Ministry of Rites and Rites.

Obviously, in Bai Tu's heart, Liang Mao is the first credit of Yanhou's investment......

At the New Year's Day banquet, it was even more obvious that Liang Mao was arranged in the first few rows, and Bai Tu often @ him at the banquet, looking like he was looking at him, and Gongsun Kang was just arranged in an inconspicuous corner, although there was a marquis, but the county marquis of Chu State had no privileges, and no one in the officialdom took care of him at all.

The civilians in the market respect the dignified county lord very much, but it is only respect, and more importantly, it is ...... In Gongsun Kang, he didn't dare to try at all, how would he be punished if he bullied the civilians.

Of course, although Gongsun Kang was only made a county marquis with no real power, and gave him a house in Jinling, since he had accepted Gongsun Kang, the role he should play, Bai Tu would not be wasted.

The state of Chu had sent an envoy to inform the state of Wei, ordering it to return "Liaodong of the state of Chu".

Wei naturally ignored this, and even blamed Chu instead and accepted Gongsun Kang, a chaotic minister and thief.

However, this kind of verbal battle will not be able to achieve results, and both sides know that they are bound to fight the Bohai Sea once this year to see who is the real Bohai overlord!

If Cao Cao wins, the state of Chu will withdraw from the coastal areas of eastern Jizhou and southern Youzhou, as well as its influence on Liaodong and the fried seafood peninsula, will be greatly weakened, or even ...... It is likely that the Wei State will have Longwang Shu set its sights on Bozhou.

And if Bai Tu wins, then the state of Chu will completely stand in the Bohai Rim region, which can almost be said to be ...... In the future, the sea will be based on Bai Tu's words, and all places close to the sea will be the "danger zone" of Wei and Qi.

The coastal counties don't have to think about development and tuntian, because if the Wei state loses to the Chu state at its doorstep, it will mean that the Chu navy can easily land from anywhere!

The navy is not like the army, and it can still develop and catch up, if the Chu State can win this, it will definitely sweep the coastal area, and will not give the Wei State any opportunity to build large coastal ports and shipyards in the future.

And after the contradiction between Wei and Chu became clearer, the most uncomfortable person in Chu was not Xiahou Juan.

After all, Xiahou Juan and Bai Tu have a good relationship, and they also have a daughter, even if Chu will meet Xiahou Yuan on the battlefield in the future, she will try her best to capture her, but she can also see it.

But Cao Pi is a little uneasy......

Wei State is now only a piece of paper away from completely turning his face with Chu State, but there is not even anyone who pleads to let him go back!

Although it may not be possible to release the person if he asks for a white picture, but now Wei doesn't seem to have this intention at all, which makes Cao Pi more and more depressed......

But my sister is my sister, and Xiahou Juan has already begun to arrange the marriage for him - Cao Pi has also reached the crown this year, even in Chu State, he has reached the age of marriage.
