The soldiers stationed in Jingzhou received Zhou Yu's order early, and did not make the slightest difficulty to the Yan army under the Yuan Qi department, but gave the green light and let the Yan army drive straight in, and came to Xiangyang City smoothly. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Twenty miles outside Xiangyang City, Zhou Yu, a famous Jiangdong general, dressed in white, stood quietly on the side of the road with his hands down, quietly waiting for the upcoming Yuanqi. Behind him, Lu Meng, who was wearing helmets and armor, and Lu Xun, who was only 14 years old, stood on the left and right sides of Zhou Yu, respectively, and behind him were Ding Feng and a group of old Jiangdong generals and Jingzhou officials who had recently returned to Jiangdong. Zhou Yu, who replaced Sun Ce to guard Jingzhou, put on the highest scale of the welcome lineup to show his respect and welcome for Yuan Qi.

The sound of horses' hooves like thunder sounded, and the iconic outfit of the Yuan Qi White Horse Gold Armor Mixed Yuan Halberd first appeared on the horizon and jumped into the eyes of Zhou Yu and the others. Immediately afterwards, Xu Chu and Dian Wei, two hideous tiger generals, appeared in the left rear of Yuan Qi, while the handsome and dashing Zhao Hu and Ma Yue appeared in the right rear of Yuan Qi, in sharp contrast to Xu Chu and Dian Wei. What remains eternal is the momentum that they radiate together, full of desire for victory, and the momentum of never giving up.

The jade unicorn brought up a cloud of smoke and dust, and galloped in the direction of Zhou Yu like lightning, until it was still ten steps away from Zhou Yu's body, Yuan Qi, who was sitting on horseback, shook the reins slightly, and shouted softly: "Don't move!" The psychic unicorn immediately retracted its speed, and its strong and powerful four hooves were like four thick steel nails, nailed to the ground fiercely, and instantly restrained its galloping steps.

Seeing that Yuan Qi stopped, Zhou Yu took two steps forward with a smile on his face, and arched his hand towards Yuan Qi and said, "The last general, Zhou Yu, see the regent." With Zhou Yu's greetings. The rest of the dozens of officials immediately saluted Yuan Qi with their fists and greeted him in unison: "See the regent, the regent Chitose Chitose Chitose!"

Yuan Qi sat on horseback and said with a smile: "It's all a family." These politeness is waived, let's get even. Gong Jin, you have also learned red tape now. ”

The smile on Zhou Yu's face became a little thicker, and he said humbly: "Etiquette must not be wasted." The regent had a long journey, and asked him to go into the city to rest. "Sun Ce and Sun Quan brothers, although they have not officially announced to the world. joined the camp, but they have always regarded themselves as disciples of Yuan Qi, their attitude has a profound impact on Jiangdong civil and military officials, and Zhou Yu has great respect for Yuan Qi, so he is very interested in Yuan Qi. There is almost no big difference with those enemy soldiers against Yuanqi.

In a burst of laughter, Yuan Qi and Zhao Hu and other important ministers led a thousand hundred battles to return, and with Zhou Yu and others entering Xiangyang City, the rest of the elites set up temporary camps outside the city under the command of Gan Jing. As a place of rest.

When he came to the palace in Xiangyang City, Zhou Yu gave up the seat that originally belonged to the position of Jingzhou Mu, and insisted on asking Yuan Qi to sit on it, but Yuan Qi did not refuse, strode to the main seat in the hall, and sat down steadily. Zhou Yu and other officials from Jiangdong and Jingzhou sat on the main seat on the left side of Yuan Qi's hand, while Zhao Hu and other generals sat on the guest seat on Yuan Qi's right hand. After everyone sat down, Zhou Yu took the lead in speaking: "Lord Regent, General Bo Fu is on his way. I believe that within five days, we will be able to reach Xiangyang. Although Sun Ce was Zhou Yu's lord, in front of Yuan Qi, Zhou Yu did not call him so, but changed his name to Sun Ce as General Bofu. fully expressed his respect for Yuan Qi, and also showed Sun Ce's respect for Yuan Qi.

Yuan Qi smiled and said: "Bo Fu, this person is good at everything, but he is too anxious, isn't it the same when he goes to Jianye alone? ”

Zhou Yu said with a smile: "Actually, Jiangdong has great respect for the regent from General Bofu down, and I heard that the regent is coming to Jiangdong this time, and Jiangdong is looking forward to it." When saying this, Zhou Yu intentionally or unintentionally accentuated the tone of the key words, and gave Yuan Qi a euphemistic hint at the mentality of Jiangdong civil and military officials towards Yuan Qi.

In fact, strictly speaking, Zhou Yu's approach, without Sun Ce's permission, to reveal the internal movements of Jiangdong to outsiders can already be regarded as betrayal, but if the object is Yuan Qi, it is another matter. In the core leadership of Jiangdong, nine out of ten people have never regarded Yuan Qi as an outsider, especially Sun Ce, Sun Quan brothers and Zhou Yu, the Sun brothers are the disciples of Yuan Qi, in Yuan Qi here learned a lot of lifelong benefits, Yuan Qi is naturally very kind, but Zhou Yu can never forget, when the Sun family in Jiangdong was desperate, it was Yuan Qi who stretched out a rescue hand, free of charge to lend Sun Ce 20,000 elite soldiers, to help Sun Ce make a comeback, is the so-called icing on the cake is easy, it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow, Yuan Qi's actions at that time, so that Zhou Yu felt sincerely admired, to this day, Zhou Yu still has not forgotten his original commitment to Yuan Qi: never to be the enemy of the prince for lifeAlthough Yuan Qi has now jumped from the original champion Hou to the current regent, this promise is still valid in Zhou Yu's heart!

With Yuan Qi's shrewdness, he naturally understood Zhou Yu's hints, and inferred from this that the vast majority of the high-level people in Jiangdong are still inclined to submit to obedience, as for the remaining very few people, I am afraid that they are all famous local families in Jiangdong, and they are not sure what kind of impact Guishun will bring to their families, so they are still in a wait-and-see attitude。 In the world, it is absolutely not allowed to appear as a special being.

With a knowing smile on his face, Yuan Qi said softly: "Let's wait for Bo Fu's arrival with peace of mind......

As Zhou Yu said, four days later, Sun Ce led five hundred iron horsemen to Xiangyang. On the day Sun Ce arrived in Xiangyang, he ordered Jingzhou to be completely returned to the hands of the Yan army, and the Jiangdong army would withdraw to Jiangdong unconditionally with only weapons and armor after the arrival of the Yan army. Yuan Qi was not polite, and ordered Xu Shu, who was guarding Yizhou, and Zhu Hao, who was guarding Guanzhong, to send 50,000 troops over to take over Jingzhou. At the same time, Yuan Qi also officially appointed Pang Tong as the first Jingzhou Mu, leading the old officials of Jingxiang, and Chen Ying, who was originally a general of Jingxiang and later followed Mount Tai to Yizhou, stayed to assist Pang Tong. With Pang Tong's popularity and connections in Jingxiang, Yuan Qi believes that Pang Tong will definitely govern Jingzhou in an orderly manner, after all, Pang Tong grew up in this land and water, and he is very familiar with the customs and customs of Jingzhou, and no one can be more suitable to be in charge of Jingzhou than Pang Tong.

That night, Yuan Qi and Sun Ce were alone in a room and had a secret conversation. Sun Ce unreservedly divided the factions within Jiangdong that supported and opposed the return to Shun Yuanqi, and clearly told Yuan Qi to know. Sun Ce was not a cowardly monarch, on the contrary, his temper was extremely strong, and Yuan Qi did not advise him much for this. The reason why a strong person like Sun Ce willingly submits to obedience, in addition to his private feelings for Yuan Qi, another important factor is that Sun Ce clearly sees that he has occupied more than half of the world, and Yuan Qi's rule has won the hearts of the people, and the regime is like an iron plate, it will only become stronger and stronger, and will never collapse halfway, it is no exaggeration to say that in today's situation, there are faint signs of prosperity and perdition, between survival and destruction, Sun Ce will of course choose the former.

Returning to Shun and officially serving his master Yuan Qi is also a decision made by Sun Ce after joint consultation with his brother Sun Quan, these two proud protégés of Yuan Qi, knowing that Yuan Qi's chest is better than heaven and man, they believe that under the leadership of Yuan Qi, Jiangdong and even the whole world will only get better and better, and the people can also live a good life of peace and stability. It is also their ambition to end the situation of division as soon as possible and let the world complete the unification, which is deeply influenced by the Yuan Qi and adheres to the Yuan Qi thinking.

Sun Ce accompanied Yuan Qi in Xiangyang for nearly a month, Yizhou's Yan army took the lead in coming to Jingzhou, the arrival of the 50,000 army, plus the old Jingzhou army, is enough to maintain the normal order of Jingzhou, in order to prevent the Central Plains' Yugong Zhaolie sent troops south to invade Jingzhou, Yuan Qi ordered Gan Jing to lead 20,000 Qilin naval troops to stay temporarily to assist Pang Tong to defend Jingzhou, at the same time, Sun Ce also put his subordinates Ding Feng, The two generals of Ling Tong stayed in Jingzhou and left behind 30,000 Jiangdong troops together to help Pang Tong stabilize the situation in response to the possible southern invasion of Ugong Terulie. After the arrival of the 50,000 troops in Guanzhong, Ding Feng and Ling Tongzi would lead the 30,000 Jiangdong army to withdraw to Jiangdong.

In the past month, Yuan Qi personally surveyed the terrain of the Linjiang River in the north of Jingzhou, personally arranged the defense line in more than a dozen dangerous places, and ordered Pang Tong to build fortifications as soon as possible, place red-clothed ballistas and thunderbolts and other large weapons of destruction, and also let Gan Jing lead his troops to station in these fortifications on the same day, which can not only resist the southern invasion of Ugong Terulie, but also lay a solid foundation for the future soldiers to divide into two routes and form a north-south attack on Ugong Terulie.

After arranging the general direction, Yuan Qi threw all the matters in Jingzhou to Pang Tong, and became the shopkeeper himself, no longer asking about the affairs of Jingzhou, but leading the troops to Jianye with Sun Ce. Next, with the help of Sun Ce and Sun Quan brothers, Yuan Qi will realize the great cause of dividing the Jiangdong region into the territory and forming a great encirclement of Ugong Terulie in the Central Plains.
