"Please come quickly." Sun Quan immediately waved his hand.
He also wanted to go to war and capture Jiangxia, but he could not ignore Sun Shangxiang. Not to mention his mother's pressure, if he ignored Sun Shangxiang and attacked Jiangxia, the world would also say that he was heartless and unjust.
Although he is indeed quite unkind and unjust in history.
"Liu Ba of Jingchu, pay homage to the Marquis of Wu." Liu Ba entered the Chinese army's tent and bowed to Sun Quan.
Sun Quan looked cold and said, "Did Liu Biao send you here?"
Liu Ba shook his head: "No, my lord is Liu Cong, the heir of Jingzhou, and Master Zhoumu is the old master."
Sun Quan was a little surprised that Liu Biao had actually established an heir, but now was not the time to ask this question, so he asked again: "What do you mean you are here?"
Liu Ba smiled and said: "I came here specifically to stop the war between the two families. My lord Liu Cong is already on his way to Jiangxia, followed by an army of 20,000."
"After my lord arrives in Jiangxia, Marquis Wu need not worry about Miss Sun's safety. He will have his own way to make Miss Sun eat."
"If the Marquis of Wu retreats, my lord will definitely return Miss Sun to Wu. From what I can tell, this matter was only done by Huang Zu's son, Huang She, and my lord will definitely punish him severely."
Sun Quan snorted coldly: "Huang Zu shot my father, and his son captured my sister. Can the Huang family defeat my Sun family?"
"If I retreat like this, won't the world laugh at me and say that I am afraid of Liu Cong?"
Zhou Yu also said: "My lord is right. If Liu Cong is willing to offer the six counties of Shaxian, Zhu, Jinchun, E, Anlu and Xiazhi to make amends for my lord and lady, I, Jiangdongfang, can withdraw his troops."
"
Jiangxia's fourteen counties, three of which are Shaxian, E, and Xiazhi, are on the south bank of the Yangtze River, and the remaining eleven counties are on the north bank of the Yangtze River. Zhou Yu's opening will include the six counties on the south bank.
After Liu Ba heard this, he also felt that Zhou Yu's lion opened his mouth and said slowly: "This is absolutely impossible, Wu Hou, Cao's thieves are about to go south, and the southern princes can no longer waste each other. Wu Hou is a wise king, and he plans for Jingzhou in the east of the Yangtze River.
It is right for the two families to stop fighting."
Sun Quan snorted and said nothing. Lu Su came out and said: "Envoy, even if we do not cede six counties, the three counties on the south bank must be ceded. And I will be compensated with 500,000 stones of grain and grass from Jiangdong."
Although Lu Su and Zhou Yu had a fierce quarrel just now, it was just different ideas. These two people were important ministers of Jiangdong, so they naturally planned for Jiangdong.
Now Jiangdong people no longer worry about Sun Shangxiang's safety. Liu Cong's arrival in Jiangxia means that Jingzhou's top officials are paying attention to this matter. Even if Liu Cong is ignorant, Liu Biao behind him will not let anything happen to Sun Shangxiang.
Since there is no need to worry about the young lady's safety, it is natural to plan for Jiangdong's interests.
Liu Ba could only continue to answer: "I can't make the decision on this matter. Let me go back and report it to my lord."
At the gate of Jiangxia City, Huang Zu led Jiangxia Wenwu to greet Liu Cong.
"Hey!" After Liu Cong dismounted, he almost fell down. Wei Yan and Huo Jun quickly went up to help him.
He rode for eight hundred miles a day and a night, and his muscles ached all over his body, and his clothes stuck to him.
Liu Cong waved his hand: "Don't worry about me, go see the military advisor."
The same goes for Pang Tong. He was a scribe. Although he knew martial arts, he didn't exercise often. Wei Yan let go of Liu Cong's arm and stepped forward to support Pang Tong.
Pang Tong shook his feather fan and said, "Lord, I'm fine. Let's enter the city first."
Huang Zu brought Jiangxia Wenwu and came forward to pay homage and said: "Huang Zu, the governor of Jiangxia, pays homage to the young master. A war is imminent and I am unable to meet you from afar. Please forgive me, the young master."
Liu Cong looked at him. He was wearing armor and a beard. He looked like a qualified general. Historically, Huang Zu had indeed made certain contributions to the defense of Jiangxia, and he was quite capable. Otherwise Liu Biao would not have let him go.
He became the governor of Jiangxia.
Liu Cong waved his hand and said: "Get up and go to the city."
In the prefect's mansion, Liu Cong asked while eating his rice: "Where is Zhang Yun?"
"Young Master, Governor Zhang is leading the navy on the river. I have sent someone to summon him." Huang Zu said.
Liu Cong nodded and said vaguely: "Which one is Gan Ning?"
Next, a person at the end was stunned for a long time, then came out of the queue and kowtowed: "Young Master, I am the last general Gan Ning."
Liu Cong licked the rice grains at the corner of his mouth, stared at Gan Ning for a long time, and nodded with satisfaction. He was tall and unruly, and his face was full of rebelliousness. No wonder Huang Zu couldn't tolerate him.
Most people really can't bear this look of being the boss and the second child who needs a beating.
Liu Cong sat up, walked to Gan Ning and helped him up, saying, "I have long heard of the reputation of Jin Fan (Gan Ning was once called the Jin Fan Thief). The general is brave. Su Fei told me about it when he came."
"Huang Zu, how many troops and horses are there in Jiangxia?" Liu Cong asked.
Huang Zu thought for a while and said: "The general will send two thousand soldiers and horses to the beacon tower along the coast, and two thousand people from each of the six border counties. There are still eight thousand people in the city, uh, and the young master's four thousand people."
Liu Cong nodded and said: "Where are Gan Ning's old troops? How many people are there? Where are they now?"
Huang Zu opened his mouth and replied: "About eight hundred people are in the city. The last general asked him to lead people to guard Shaxian County, but he refused to go. The young master should punish Gan Ning for his disobedience and disrespect."
Liu Cong waved his hand and said: "Let this matter go. There is no need to mention it again. We will mobilize another 1,200 people to join Gan Ning's old troops. We will appoint Gan Ning as the rebel commander and Su Fei as the deputy general. Follow me from now on!"
Huang Zu was anxious: "Young Master, you can't do that."
Gan Ning was overjoyed: "Thank you so much, my lord!"
Liu Cong ignored Huang Zu and struck Gan Ning on the chest.
Please be patient and don’t be so reckless and impatient in the future.”
For the first time, Gan Ning felt that he was being taken seriously. He knelt down excitedly and said, "The general will definitely live up to my lord's high expectations."
Liu Cong turned to look at Huang Zu and said, "Where is your son?"
Huang Zu was stunned for a moment, then my son said: "Young Master, the general has already grounded him and will never cause trouble again..."
"Bring it up and let me take a look." Liu Cong interrupted him impatiently.
"This?" Huang Zu hesitated for a moment, then asked someone to call Huang She.
After a while, two soldiers led Huang She into the hall. Huang She was tied up and brought in, yelling, "You two bastards, if you dare to do this to me, I will ask my father to kill you in the future."
Seeing everyone in the hall, Huang She did not panic. When he saw his father Huang Zu, he shouted: "Father, let the child go quickly. The child knows that he was wrong."
Huang Zu scolded: "You traitor, why don't you pay your respects to the young master?"
Huang She followed Huang Zu's eyes and saw Liu Cong sitting at the top, and asked doubtfully: "Young Master? Father, isn't he Liu Biao's son?"
"Didn't I just catch Sun Shangxiang? You've locked me up for so many days, what's the point of Jiangdong's rotten fish and shrimps to be afraid of?"
"Sun Jian died in your hands. Father, I say, you should stand on your own based on Jiangxia and don't care about Liu Biao and Sun Quan."
"Ah! You traitor!" Huang Zu shouted angrily, rushed forward, kicked Huang She to the ground, slapped his ears several times, then knelt on the ground and said to Liu Cong, "Young Master, on weekdays
I have spoiled this rebellious son, he has been spoiled, please forgive me, young master."
Huang Zu's Jiangxia governor was appointed by the imperial court. Some people think it's not whether Liu Biao needs him, but whether he recognizes Liu Biao as his leader. However, only Huang Zu himself knows that as long as Liu Biao lets the navy block the river and surround the city, Jiangxia will be defeated for two consecutive years.
I can't keep it for a month.
Jiangxia relied on Jingzhou to supply military supplies and logistics. Therefore, Huang Zu had always regarded Liu Biao as his leader. Even though he was greedy for money and did some dirty things in Jiangxia, Liu Biao turned a blind eye.
Liu Cong said nothing and took out his sword. Amid everyone's astonishment, he swung the sword down and cut the rope around Huang She's body.
He threw the sword next to him and said, "Come on, get up, get up and kill me with your sword."
Huang She didn't know whether he was frightened by the sword or something, but he didn't move. Liu Cong continued: "Come on, get up and kill me with a sword, that's it? You still want to encourage your father to stand on his own feet? You still want to be a young man?
host?"
"You don't even have the courage to pick up a sword and kill people, so why are you proclaiming yourself king?"
"Come on, get up and kill me with your sword. This will force your father to rebel. Don't you want to be the young master? When your father conquers Xiangyang, the entire Jingzhou will belong to you and your son."
"You only know how to play with women? You only know how to bully good people? When you meet someone stronger than you, you don't dare to move? What else can you do with such a waste?"
"Ah! I'll kill you!" Suddenly, Huang She shouted, picked up the sword on the ground, and stabbed Liu Cong.
"She'er, no." Huang Zu wanted to stop him, but it was already too late.
Liu Cong dodged Huang She's sword, slapped him in the face with a big sword in his backhand, and continued to sarcastically say: "That's all you can do?" Then he yelled at Huang Zu, "Don't worry about it!"
Huang She stopped talking and continued to chop at Liu Cong with his sword. Liu Cong blocked it with his scabbard, then pulled the scabbard and hit Huang She hard on the wrist.
Huang She lost his sword in pain, and Liu Cong continued: "You can't hold the sword firmly, and you still want to kill someone?"
Huang She stopped picking up the sword and punched Liu Cong again.
Liu Cong slapped him in the face and scolded: "Your father stationed in Jiangxia, killed Sun Jian, conquered Sun Quan, and retreated from Zhang Liao. What about you? Besides relying on your father's reputation to dominate and prosper, what else can you do?"
"Your father is just such a son. If you cause trouble and die outside, what do you want him to do?" Bang!
"Your father is my general in Jingzhou, a good general, and someone I am ready to reuse. You persuade him to rebel?" Bang!
"A real man performs meritorious deeds on the battlefield, lives in temples, comforts the people, and leaves his name in history. Only then can he live up to his life's ambitions. Do you want to live like this for the rest of your life?" Bang!
"Because you bastard, the two sides went to war, and you are still alive because of your father. Do you understand?" Bang!
Liu Cong said a word and slapped him. By the end of the slap, Huang She was squatting on the ground holding his head.
Liu Cong picked up the sword and inserted it into the scabbard. He walked to Huang Zu, took out Liu Biao's warrant, handed it to Huang Zu and said, "I said I want to use you in an important position, not just words. My father and I both know your talents."
"It's the father's fault if a son doesn't teach. Look at your son. I heard that you are still greedy for money? Is this how you set an example for your son?"
"How can I reuse you with such behavior? You are also an elder of Jingzhou, and you have let me and my father down like this?"
Huang Zu looked at the order in his hand, was stunned for a moment, then knelt down in the tunnel and said: "The general will eventually realize his mistake, and the general will make amends and live up to the high hopes of the lord and the young master."
Liu Cong nodded and continued: "Isn't it just for the family fortune to fight on the battlefield for a lifetime? I understand your greed for money, isn't it just to leave more wealth for your children and grandchildren?"
"But look at your son. If you leave a mountain of gold, he can be ruined. Do you believe it?" Liu Cong pointed at Huang She.
Huang Zu sighed: "Young Master is right, I spoiled him too much in the past."
Liu Cong nodded with satisfaction: "It's good if you can admit it. Your son just dared to attack me, and he was still a little bloody. There is still a chance to change his ways."
"Take him down and teach him well. Xingba, take me to see Sun Shangxiang."
