Chapter 1240 Descend the river to meet Fang Yuan
PS: Thank you 'xiaoshi' for voting for your valuable monthly pass! Thank you!
Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu basically talked about all the details with Lu Su in Moling, and the rest was Sun Ce's final confirmation, Sun Ce thought about it, and still felt that he should go to Moling in person, as for why, Sun Ce's reason for his subordinates was that since it was an agreement between the two sides, it should naturally be sworn by the leaders of both sides.
Of course, only he knew what Sun Ce was thinking in his heart, Sun Quan privately told his sister, who would go to Miyun to study soon, that the eldest brother went to Moling because the eldest brother wanted to tell the world that he was not afraid of Fang Zhi's article at all.
Mrs. Wu wiped her tears and sent Sun Ce onto the big ship heading east, the faces of the generals who saw them off were heavy, and Sun Ce even felt a little sluggish and cold.
The big boat went down the river, and the next morning arrived at Moling, there was no fanfare on the wharf, Lu Su and Zhu Zhi came to greet Fang Zhiwen on behalf of him, and Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao.
Zhang Zhao was relatively speechless when he saw Sun Ce, and he had all kinds of tastes in his heart! Sun Ce didn't know what to say, and after the two sighed relatively, Sun Ce smiled and waved his hand:
"Mr. Meng will not give up, and I hope to be able to assist him wholeheartedly in the future1
"To serve the Lord, the subordinate branch should be 1
Zhu Zhi looked at the way the monarch and the minister thought, the corners of his mouth curled, and Lu Su stepped forward to salute, Sun Ce and Huang Gai looked at Zhu Zhi angrily, Zhu Zhi was calm, and even slightly disdainful of Sun Ce's mind.
"In Xia Lusu, on behalf of my lord, I greet my lord. Lord Sun has worked hard all the way, please go back to the post house to rest first, and the meeting will be arranged tomorrow. ”
"Forget about the inn. Let's live in Mr. Zibu's house for the time being. ”
"Then the Lord is free."
Huang Gai snorted coldly, and muttered in a loud voice: "Fang Zhiwen has such a big shelf." ”
Zhu Zhi pursed his lips as if he couldn't hear it, and Lu Su continued to lead the way with a smile, not at all.
Zhang Zhao shook his head, whether it was in terms of official position or seniority, there was no possibility for Fang Zhiwen to be there, if it was from the point of view of fame. Fang Zhiwen didn't have to be present, Huang Gai was a little self-deprecating when he said this, but fortunately, people didn't bother to bother with Huang Gai.
Sun Ce grabbed Huang Gai's wrist. Shaking his head to signal him not to cause trouble, Huang Gai snorted
On the same day, the news of Sun Ce's arrival in Moling spread, and Sun Ce arrived at Moling. It is equivalent to drawing a phased end to the Moling Incident. It represents that Sun Ce and Fang Zhiwen have reached a compromise, as long as they reach a compromise with Fang Zhiwen, players have all kinds of speculations.
The news reached Cao Cao's ears, Cao Cao knew that it was too late for him to think anything, and the envoy he sent to Jiujiang was estimated to be in vain, Cao Cao must now begin to face this reality, the trade route in the south will also be completely cut off, and he is facing an unprecedented dangerous situation.
The next day. After Sun Ce carefully cleaned up, accompanied by Zhou Yu, Zhang Zhao and Huang Gai, he went to Yangzhou Assassin's Mansion to meet Fang Zhiwen.
Fang Zhiwen stood halfway up the ladder. There is only Taishi Zhaorong by his side, and Lu Su and Zhu Zhi are standing at the bottom of the steps, which can be regarded as giving Sun Ce enough face, and Fang Zhiwen will not be stingy with this superficial effort.
"Nephew Sun Ce has seen Uncle Fang and Aunt Fang, and the two adults are fine1
"Okay, okay, the virtuous nephew is exempt, so that the mother and family can be fine1
"Thank you Uncle Fang for remembering, my mother and younger siblings are very good."
"The virtuous nephew is heroic, You Sheng is his father, if Wentai is alive, he will be extremely pleased."
"Uncle Fang praised it falsely, the little nephew was incompetent, and he lost all his father's family business, and he was extremely ashamed when he thought of the nonsense back then."
"Hehe, the virtuous nephew is weak, but it has just begun, there is no need to be arrogant, let alone conclusive, the so-called things are man-made, the road is under the feet, what will happen in the future, who can be sure! Please come in and talk about it. ”
"Uncle Fang's lesson is that Uncle Fang and Aunt Fang will invite first."
Everyone entered and sat down as the guest of honor, Zhu Zhi sat in Fang Zhiwen's lower position, followed by Lu Su, Sun Ce couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.
"Virtuous nephew, let's talk about business, let's talk about it after the personal friendship."
"Uncle Fang said very well, public first and then private, as it should be."
"Hehe, Zijing, you start1
Lu Su said yes, took out a scroll, and handed it to Zhang Zhao on the other side.
"Lord Sun, this is the final draft agreement decided after consultation between the two parties, I will interpret it one by one, if you have any comments, please feel free to put them forward."
"I see, please"
Lu Su spent half an hour interpreting the text one by one, these agreements are quite detailed, after all, they are something that a few smart people have been tossing for a long time, and it is not easy to find some loopholes.
"Uncle Fang, the little nephew doesn't have any opinions, does Uncle Fang have any other opinions?"
Fang Zhiwen shook his head with a smile, glanced at Sun Ce and a few people around him, and said: "This agreement is very perfect, but no matter how perfect the agreement is, it depends on people to implement it, and whether or not the agreement can be faithfully completed is much more important than the agreement itself." I know that the virtuous nephew and his subordinates probably feel very unwilling, dissatisfied, and even aggrieved and angry in their hearts, and what I want to tell the virtuous nephew is that these emotions can be had, but they must not be allowed to spread into action, which will be disastrous. ”
Sun Ce's face darkened, and he lowered his head slightly, trying to hide the unyielding and angry in his eyes.
"The virtuous nephew may think that what I said is very inauthentic, and I am suspected of saying cool things, and even threatening the virtuous nephew. If you think like this, you are wrong, now I don't need to threaten the virtuous nephew, let alone have the leisure to say cool words, the virtuous nephew is not a person, you must take responsibility for the tens of millions of people behind you, therefore, this advice you need to think carefully. ”
"Uncle Fang is very right, the little nephew will definitely understand it carefully."
"Huh. The virtuous nephew is still unwilling, since I said it today, I will talk about it. Jiangdong has never been from the Sun family, not before, and not in the future, because you don't have the ability to control Jiangdong, how much responsibility a person can have, Jiangdong is too big. The virtuous nephew can't afford it, no matter how much unwillingness you have in your heart, this is an irrefutable fact. If you really have the ability, this fact will not be formed, so, don't do anything outside of the ability! That's all there is to it. Virtuous nephews are good at their own devices. ”
Sun Ce raised his head. Looking at Fang Zhiwen, who looked flat, his eyes were still full of unwillingness, but he decided not to hide anymore, unwilling is unwilling, the biggest unwillingness is not to lose Jiangdong, but to be underestimated by the world, if you want to wash this point, you can only use actions to speak. There is really no point in using your mouth.
"Uncle Fang's teachings are like gold, and the little nephew remembers them in his heart. Don't dare or forget! and in the future, it will be handed down to future generations, and it shall be a precept.1
Fang Zhiwen smiled casually: "Very good, sign and use the seal, it's better to get up and walk than to sit and talk1."
After the agreement was signed, Sun Ce was not in the mood to stay, and immediately took Zhou Yu, Zhang Zhao and others to board the ship and return to Jiujiang to prepare for crossing the sea.
After sending Sun Ce and his entourage away, Lu Su came back to report to Fang Zhiwen, Fang Zhiwen was writing something on the desk, Taishi Zhaorong and Huang Xu were not there.
"The Lord"
"Zijing, people sent away?"
"Sent away."
"It's hard work, but Zijing still needs to go to Luoyang to meet with Liu Bei and discuss the blockade of Cao Cao."
Lu Su smiled and said: "This matter is the duty of the subordinates, and I dare not say anything bitter." ”
Lu Su thought for a while and said, "Isn't the lord worried that Sun Ce will repeat?" ”
"Zijing thinks they will have a relapse?"
"It's hard to say, especially for the local clans, it's probably not easy to get them out of their homes1
"You underestimated Sun Ce, maybe he is about to take this opportunity to get rid of the constraints of the world this time, and those who don't want to go will either be purged or thrown to us."
"If this is the case, I am afraid that Jiangdong will not be peaceful in the future, relying on Lord Zhu's army, I am afraid that it will not be able to do it, and the lord will not be able to stay here."
"Well, I have already ordered Hansheng and Dingyuan to go south, and Zhixin has also been transferred to Danyang, so I am not afraid of Jiangdong's instability, to be honest, I would like to see how Jiangdong will be unstable."
Fang Zhiwen said with a smile, but a trace of cold anger flashed in his eyes.
"Lord, I'm afraid I still have to communicate with the Tianxia Association about this matter, if the aliens in the south intentionally interfere, it will also be a troublesome matter."
"South? They can't keep themselves busy, and the things in the central and southern parts are getting bigger and bigger, so where do they have the time to take care of the north. ”
"Then Liu Bei and Cao Cao probably won't sit idly by, right?"
"That's why you want to go to Luoyang, just to block the possibility of Liu Bei's intervention from the surface, as for Cao Cao, he will follow him, if he doesn't come to toss us, we have to toss him! Moreover, after our army took control of Jiangdong, it basically completely surrounded Cao Cao, and Cao Cao would be too disappointing if he wanted to come to Jiangdong to make some small moves1
"The lord is saying that this time he will go to Luoyang, but he needs to be a little more high-profile1
"Naturally, by the way, stop in Xiangyang and reach some control agreements with Liu Bei on the Yangtze River waterway or something, you can make a big fanfare1
"Hehe, my subordinates understood1
Fang Zhiwen smiled: "Cao Cao is a smart person, he doesn't need to beat the drum with a hammer, and he should grasp the proportions of the period by himself1."
"The subordinates will take care of it, please rest assured." After a pause, Lu Su asked again: "There is still a question for the subordinates, why did the lord deliberately arouse Sun Ce's anger?" ”
"If he doesn't have the heart to do anything in Yingzhou, he wants to wash away his incompetent reputation, so he can only prove himself on the battlefield in Yingzhou, isn't it good1
"But he may hold a grudge! If hatred continues for generations to come"
Fang Zhiwen waved his hand casually, with a relaxed look on his face:
"Hehe, Zijing thinks too much, the affairs of the children and grandchildren will be dealt with by the children and grandchildren, we can't manage so much, not to mention that life is very boring if there are no competitors."
Lu Su was stunned for a moment, and then nodded with emotion: "The subordinates understand that 1 is unfinished to be continued...
