Half a day later, when Liu Bei walked out of the dense forest under the guidance of Fazheng, they were surprised to find that the field in front of them had become a flat river.

Countless acres of fields are lined up, farmers are doing farm work, and smoke is everywhere in the countryside.

Unconsciously, tears flowed from Liu Bei's eyes.

"The country of abundance is the country of abundance!"

The people behind Liu Bei walked out cheering, they laughed and jumped happily, it was too difficult to flee all the way, flee from Jiangxia to the south of Wuling, and then cross Wuling and enter Yizhou.

Liu Bei held Fa Zheng's hand and cried bitterly: "Thank you Xiaozhi for coming to find it, otherwise I don't know when I will be able to walk out of these five mountains." ”

Fa Zheng said with a smile: "Millions of people in Sichuan are looking forward to the king, and they are already looking forward to it. ”

Liu Bei's expression was stunned, and he heard a different flavor from these words.

Fa Zheng then approached him and said: "Envoy, Liu Jiyu is not the hero, I have contacted several people to conspire for a great cause!" ”

"This ......"

Liu Bei was in a trance for a while, but found that the people around him were looking at him firmly.

Liu Bei hesitated for a long time, didn't make up his mind, just said: "Xiaozhi, please lead me to Chengdu first." ”

Fa Zheng's expression flashed with regret, so he had to lead Liu Bei away.

When they were gone, an old man hobbled here, staring in the direction they were leaving.

It is already strange that such an old body can walk through the five mountains, and what is even more strange is that he actually arrived very early, but Fa Zheng and the others did not notice him at all.

"Liu Bei must enter Yizhou, and no one can stop him."

The old man pinched his fingers and muttered to himself.

……

In Jiaozhou, Cao Wu's troops were stationed on the bank of the Baiteng River on this day, cleaning up the battlefield while cleaning up the mess.

Cao Jun's losses were also large, but Cao Wu's move made the living soldiers feel that it was worth it.

The general who has the right to open the palace personally worships the dead soldiers, and makes a grand wish, all the fallen soldiers, on top of the original pension of the imperial court, plus a pension of the northern mansion, the living soldiers, and those who have military merits will also be rewarded.

These soldiers came all the way to Jiaozhou for rewards, and after receiving these promises, not only did there be no grievances in the barracks, but the atmosphere was warm.

The Cangwu soldiers on the east bank also arrived on the west bank, and their rewards were much less than those of Cao's army, which also made them want to practice their skills more and more and achieve more results.

In the night, Cao Wu invited the generals, everyone was extremely happy, and when the banquet was halfway through, it was reported that Jiaozhou Mu was full of favors.

Man Zhong came with Zhuge Liang, and the two of them got the letter of Cao Jun's victory, and immediately rode fast horses here.

As soon as the pet entered the camp, the generals were startled.

I saw this old minister, shirtless, carrying a few wattles, and bowed to Cao Wu when he came in.

Cao Wuzheng was drinking, and immediately got up and helped him up.

Zhuge Liang next to him sneered: "The state pastor has to be like this, and I didn't persuade him." ”

Full of favor said: "All kinds of things in the future, I underestimated the general, and I hope the general will forgive me for all the formless things before!" ”

He was referring to impeachment, of course.

Cao Wu is not the Holy Mother, although the full favor impeached him out of public intentions, but he was also punished by the state of exile, and this matter has been closed in Cao Wu's heart.

Today, Manzhong mentioned it again, which made Cao Wu feel a little embarrassed.

He asked the left and right to give the full favor a seat, and personally untied the thorn behind the full favor.

"In the future, Jiaozhou will still count on the state pastor, and I was suspicious before, don't take it to heart!"

Cao Wuqian asked Man Pet to sit, but Man Pet refused, Cao Wu walked to a pair of armor standing next to the banquet, took off the armor, took it over and put it on for Man Pet, and said: "Mr. Man is the Son of Heaven shepherd, when he overcomes thorns and thorns, governs Jiaozhou, and must not let Jiaozhou fall into the hands of thieves again!" ”

This sentence said that when he was full of favor, this cool minister, finally accepted Cao Wu's arrangement and sat in the position of Cao Wu's left hand.

The full hall of generals, full of favorites, regardless of seniority or official position, sits in the position second only to Cao Wu, and no one has any objections.

Next, Cao Wu arranged Zhuge Liang to start with his right hand.

Many generals looked at this scene and were a little jealous, but no one had any objections.

Lu Xun stood up and said: "Brother Zhuge has a plan to make a decision, and the four counties are all equal, and the credit can be the first this time." When we went south, the two of us made a bet to win or lose in Jiaozhou, and now it seems that I lost! ”

This time, Lu Xun commanded the battlefield on the west bank, but in fact, if Zhuge Liang had not used the barbarians of Jiuzhen and Ninan to take down the army that Zhou Yu had placed on the sea ship, the west bank might have been defeated.

Zhuge Liang only took a month to solve the situation in Jiuzhen and Rinan counties, and he even made a decision, he didn't shoot much, and he was not on the frontal battlefield, but the credit was the greatest.

Everyone here knows about this, they admired Lu Xun's military array dispatch before, and now they see that Lu Xun admires Zhuge Liang, and they can't help but think a little more about the strength of Beifu.

Zhuge Liang said a few words of humility, but Lu Xun raised his glass and drank heavily, drank all the wine in the cup, turned the cup upside down, and not a drop of wine flowed out.

Everything is in a word, Zhuge Liang is no longer humble, he doesn't like to drink by nature, but he still raises his glass and drinks it all in response.

"Good!"

Cao Wu raised his glass and said: "Today I received a proverb, called the dragon goes out to sea, the phoenix falls into the mountain, the blood stains the river, and the southeast changes." Now it seems that the phoenix chick Pang Tong has fallen from the mountain, and Wolong Zhuge has really returned from the sea! ”

Everyone savored the details of the words, and they all raised their glasses and drank bitterly, and the atmosphere of the banquet was high.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Cao Wu explained the remaining matters of Jiaozhou to Man Chong.

After this war, 10,000 of the 30,000 Cangwu soldiers remained, and 20,000 of the 70,000 Jiaozhi soldiers remained, of which 10,000 were taken away by Lu Meng and did not know where to go.

The entire Jiaozhou army is actually empty.

Considering that Li Dian was wounded and it was difficult to return north, Li Dian selected 5,000 Cao troops to be stationed in Jiaozhou, and when Jiaozhou had its own strength, Li Dian's Cao army could cooperate with the situation in the Central Plains and set off from Jiaozhou as a large army to attack Jiangdong.

Li Dian heard that he had the opportunity to attack Jiangdong and made contributions, so he readily agreed, but he felt that he was so injured that he would not be unable to return north.

Jingnan generals Liu Xian, Bao Long, and Chen Ying also stayed with them, and they each had their own rewards, and Jingnan was close to Jiaozhou, which was convenient for exchanges between the two places in the future.

With the army as the foundation, Manzhong's face was a lot ruddy, and he even persuaded Cao Wu to drink.

This old state pastor can really drink, and when the house is drunk, he is still awake.

He looked around, only Diao Chan behind Cao Wu and Zhuge Liang, who hadn't drunk much, were still awake, so he said to Cao Wudao, who was also awake: "General Beifu, Mr. Zhuge is here, I learned that the Shixie family is rampant, although it is stable, but the wealth of the whole state is in the hands of one family." Now that Shixie and Wu Ju are gone, Jiaozhou can finally breathe. I thank you for the people of Jiaozhou! ”

Cao Wu raised his glass and touched him, and said, "Jiaozhou will be handed over to Mr." ”

Man nodded heavily.

For this gentleman, he has been operating in Jiaozhou for more than 20 years, and has governed Jiaozhou as rich as the north.

With him in the south, no matter how critical the Central Plains is, there is no need to consider that Jiaozhou will betray.

Because of the word full of favor, there is no Nantian Little China in this world, because Nantian is China.

When he was as old as Shi Xie, he returned to the capital and became the third duke.

However, this is for a later date.

At the moment, Cao Wu still has a place to go, which was set before the war.
