It didn't take long for all the ministers and generals under Liu Xiu's command to gather in the main hall. , the latest chapter access: Π¨Π¨Π¨.79xs.Π‘ΠΎΠ .
After the people saluted, they took their seats.
Liu Xiu looked around at everyone and said, "Today's Yangzhou has become stable. There was a navy under Lu Xun on the river, and the Wei army could not go south. Everything was in order, and the king was ready to set off for Xiangyang. Before leaving, make certain adjustments. β
When everyone heard this, their expressions were solemn.
Lu Ji, Lu Xun and others have their own arrangements, and they will not be modified.
Zhang Zhao, Gu Yong, Zhu Zhi and others don't need to adjust if they want to return to Xiangyang with Liu Xiu.
What really needs to be adjusted is the arrangement of the army.
Huang Zhong had previously been stationed in Jiaozhou and was responsible for the stability of Jiaozhou.
Now, Huang Zhong is unwilling to go back.
For no other reason, Huang Zhong wanted to participate in the next battle.
Liu Xiu knew Huang Zhong's thoughts, looked at Huang Zhong, and ordered, "Huang Zhong." β
"The last general!"
Huang Zhong stood up, a little apprehensive in his heart.
Liu Xiudao: "Wu County is very close to Taihu Lake, and with the navy under Lu Xun stationed, Wu County is safe. It will be redundant for you to lead the army to be stationed in Wu County again. β
"In addition, the 'Jiao' state also needs the army to be in charge. β
"You led the army of the Second Army and retreated to Huiji County to station. β
"First, to prepare for the future attack on Wei, and second, to remotely control the situation of 'Jiaozhou'. β
Liu Xiu made arrangements directly.
In Huang Zhong's heart, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "The last general will obey the order!"
As long as he does not return to the 'Jiao' state, and can prepare for the attack on Cao 'Cao' in the future, Huang Zhong feels that it is worth it.
Liu Xiu waved his hand, and Huang Zhong retreated to his seat.
Liu Xiu's gaze fell on Tai Shi Ci again, and said, "Tai Shi Ci." β
"The last general!"
Tai Shici then stood up and saluted with his fists clenched.
Liu Xiu said: "Mobilize all the soldiers of the Fourth Army and prepare to withdraw to Jiangxia." β
"Whoa!"
Tai Shi Ci clenched his fists in response.
Liu Xiu bowed slightly, and Tai Shici returned to his seat.
After the two armies were arranged, Liu Xiu looked at Lu Xun again and said, "Lu Xun." β
"The last general!"
Lu Xun stood up and saluted respectfully.
In the past few months, Lu Xun has been in the naval camp for most of the time, on the one hand, to rectify the soldiers, and on the other hand, to supervise the craftsmen to build ships.
To form a real navy, you have to have real big ships.
Without a ship, everything is empty talk.
Therefore, Lu Xun is most concerned about the matter of craftsman shipbuilding.
Liu Xiu said: "Shipbuilding is not an overnight thing, even if there are difficulties, but you can't give up. β
"This king is still the same old saying, what you want, what this king gives. What you lack, this king will make up. β
"Finally, there must be a navy worthy of the name. β
"However, when training the navy, we must also pay attention to the stability of Yangzhou. β
Liu Xiu said: "Originally, your uncle served as the assassin of Yangzhou, and it was impossible for you to stay in Yangzhou, so you should enter Xiangyang as an official." But this king believes in you and in your abilities, and I hope that you will live up to your high expectations. β
Lu Xun saluted and said: "The last general will definitely live up to the king's high expectations." β
Liu Xiu's words, Lu Xun also understood.
Lu Ji and Lu Xun are both members of the Lu family, and Lu Ji has the final say in Yangzhou's political affairs, and Lu Xun has the final say in Yangzhou's military affairs.
In such a situation, it is easy to form a monopoly.
It's just that in the current situation, Lu Xun is the most suitable candidate.
Another reason is that Liu Xiu can control the Lu family, as long as Liu Xiu is here, neither Lu Xun nor Lu Ji can rebel.
As for the future, Liu Xiu will naturally have to adjust.
Lu Xun's heart was like a mirror, and when he returned to his seat, he also secretly warned himself to remember Liu Xiu's point.
Liu Xiu, Lu Ji and other officials who stayed in Yangzhou talked about various things one by one.
In the end, Liu Xiucai gave the order to set off.
With Liu Xiu's order, the troops stationed in Wu County began to pull out the camp.
Liu Xiu also took Fa Zheng, Ma Yan, Zhang Zhao, Zhu Zhi, Gu Yong and others, all of whom set off together, leaving Wu County for Xiangyang. This time back to Xiangyang, Liu Xiu took the waterway, not the land route.
The army marched westward along the Yangtze River, heading straight for Xiangyang.
This news soon spread to Guangling County.
Cao Pi got the news and sent it back to Yecheng.
Cao 'Cao' learned the news of Liu Xiu's withdrawal to Xiangyang, and was also waiting for Yang Xiu's negotiations, whether he could recapture Zhang Liao and Xun Yu depended on Yang Xiu.
On this day, Cao 'Cao' summoned Sun Quan.
in the main hall.
The host and guest are seated.
Cao 'Cao' looked at Sun Quan and said, "Zhongmou, this king has just received news that Liu Xiu has completely stabilized the situation in Wu County. Now, along the Yangtze River, we went westward to Xiangyang. Now that the king has received the news, it is estimated that Liu Xiu has returned to Xiangyang. β
Sun Quan's face was a little pale, and his expression was depressed.
The news of the defeat of the Wu State was already known to Sun Quan before.
Now hearing the news of Cao's '', Sun Quan was even more like being struck by lightning, and sat in a daze, his expression a little distracted.
He took the initiative as a hostage in exchange for a glimmer of life in Wu State.
Unexpectedly, it failed in the end.
Sun Quan came back to his senses and said, "King Wei, in the past, Liu Xiu and the Wei alliance attacked the Wu State. But in the end, it was Liu Xiu who monopolized Yangzhou and annexed Wu. Liu Xiu insulted King Wei like this, can King Wei swallow this breath?"
When Cao '' this, his expression turned cold.
Regarding the attack on Wu State, Cao 'Cao' was also quite unhappy.
However, Cao's '' is not to blame Liu Xiu for tearing his face and tearing apart the alliance, but to blame the Wei ** team for failing to succeed.
Liu Xiu secretly had the intention of annexing the state of Wu.
And the same is true of Wei.
It was only the defeat of Zhang Liao and Xun You that caused Cao 'Cao' to be very passive, which made it difficult for Wei to move forward.
Cao 'Cao' said: "There is a battle between this king and Liu Xiu. β
Sun Quan's mind turned, and he said, "King Wei now, does he want to exchange Zhang Liao and Xun You back? Hehe, I'm afraid it's impossible." Liu Xiu is extremely treacherous, and he is not a person who will easily 'hand' over Xun You and Zhang Liao. Especially these two people are quite critical, and it is impossible for Liu Xiu to 'hand' people. I would suggest that the King of Wei go to war directly. β
Cao '' is a person with personal ideas, and he will not be easily 'bewitched' by others.
Sun Quan's intention was to let Wei and Chu 'fight' as soon as possible.
It's just that Cao 'Cao' has his own ideas, and he smiled and said: "When to start a war, this king has his own measure." It's just Zhongmou, this king is thinking about a question, does Liu Xiu care about your life or death?"
When Sun Quan heard this, he chuckled in his heart.
What does Cao mean by ''?
Sun Quan said: "What does King Wei mean by this?"
Cao 'Cao' stroked the 'flower' white beard under his chin, and smiled: "If Liu Xiu didn't marry Sun Shangxiang, you would be of no use in the hands of this king." β
However, Liu Xiu just married Wu Guo. β
"Since they are married, Liu Xiu and you are in-laws. β
"Liu Xiu is a cunning and 'yin' person in politics and in marching and fighting, but it is undeniable that Liu Xiu is quite a man. β
"With Sun Shangxiang here, this king still has a chance to recapture Xun You and Zhang Liao. β
Cao '' and said with a smile: "Now, it's up to Yang Xiu." β
Sun Quan suddenly understood.
Cao's intention was to use him as a bargaining chip and then negotiate with Liu Xiu.
Sun Quan sat down on the ground in a gloomy manner, and he was even more disappointed in his heart. Liu Xiu is cunning, and Cao's '' is not a fuel-efficient lamp. In the hands of Cao Cao's 'Cao', he became a bargaining chip for Cao 'Cao' and Liu Xiu to negotiate.
Cao '' and waved his hand, and a 'waiter' came in.
Cao 'Cao' instructed: "Take King Wu down to rest, so that you can serve for your life." β
"Whoa!"
The 'attendant' responded and left with Sun Quan.
