Chapter 48 The ledger is completed and prepared separately
"General Zhao, Brother Zijing, this is Mr. Zhang Zhao and Zhang Zibu, the general of my Jiangdong Mansion, known as one of the two Zhangs in Jiangdong. Mr. Zibu, these two are famous figures in Xuzhou. This is Lu Su and Lu Zijing, a military master, who sacrificed wine, and is also an old friend of Yu. In the past, when the lord rose up, Duo Mengzijing was generous. This is even more famous. He is General Zhao Feng and Zhao Botao, the governor of Pengcheng!" After talking a lot, Zhou Yu finally introduced all the negotiating parties.
"I've been looking forward to you!" The two sides were polite again. Zhao Feng also looked for an opportunity to look at Zhang Zhao in front of him. What was more surprising was that he looked like an old man in his forties, unlike the gray-haired old man who appeared in the TV series. In fact, Zhang Zhao was only 42 years old at this time. In addition, his high quality of life was not bad, and he was not as weak and sickly as his brother Zhang Hong. He was naturally well maintained.
Of course, the reason why Zhao Feng is so interested in this Zhang Zhao is purely because this brother's performance in the whole Romance of the Three Kingdoms was too "outstanding". First of all, the battle of the Red Cliff took the lead in shouting to surrender. After that, the ideas for Sun Quan were not very useful, and there were many bad things. Admittedly, the real Zhang Zhao is not so unbearable, but his talent in internal affairs did not give him too many opportunities to show.
"I've heard for a long time that Mr. Zibu is a great talent in the world, and now I'm really lucky to see him!" Zhao Feng also responded to a polite word. Zhang Zhao has always been used to being flattered. At present, he also replied, "General Zhao is young and powerful, and he is already a high-ranking official in the state and county at the age of weak crowns. Zhao deeply feels that he is awesome!"
After being polite, he began to talk about business. "My lord, General Sun, is the Yangzhou herdsman of the imperial court. Now Yuan Shu's rebels have been killed. The two counties of Lujiang and Jiujiang have been under my rule." Zhang Zhao said first. After a pause, Zhang Zhao said again, "Of course, Lieutenant Liu also fought with blood this time. How can he get nothing? The two counties of Anfeng and Yiyang originally belonged to Yuzhou, but now they will be returned to the original owner and taken over by General Guan Yunchang. What do you think?
It's really cruel. This is Zhao Feng's first idea. First, he took the whole territory of Yangzhou, but pretended to be generous and handed over Anfeng and Yiyang to Liu Bei. This is a good idea! Naturally, Zhao Feng couldn't let him do what he wanted. He smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang said this. I think that although the Lujiang River was captured by General Sun, if it hadn't been for General Zhang and General Gao's raid on the East Gate, I'm afraid that the situation at this time will not be known. As for Jiujiang County, except for Shouchun, which was attacked by three families, the thirteen counties were all pacified by my Xuzhou. What's more, Li Tong and other county magistrates have defected to my master. If Mr. Zhang asked me to evacuate here, wouldn't he let me be the untrustless villain?
The meaning of Zhao Feng's words is also very clear: Your brother didn't fight much, but he wanted to occupy the city for nothing. How can there be such a cheap thing in the world? Zhang Zhao didn't care, but continued, "That being said, now my lord is the herdsman of Yangzhou. Jiujiang is the boundary of Yangzhou, and it should be governed by my lord. It's true that Lieutenant Liu is in a good job to suppress the traitors, but he can't occupy the magpie's nest because of this!"
Zhao Feng smiled. He had already thought about it for a long time, and then said, "General Sun is a shepherd of Yangzhou, but it is difficult to determine whether Jiujiang County is the boundary of Yangzhou. Let's talk about the two counties of Anfeng and Yiyang, which originally belonged to Yangzhou, but later belonged to Yuzhou. Now that Jiujiang County is at the junction of Xuzhou and Jiangdong, how can it no longer belong to Xuzhou?
"This!" Zhang Zhaowan didn't expect Zhao Summit to say this, so the two of them debated one by one, and soon Lu Su and Zhou Yu were also added to the lineup. Zhao Feng comes from later generations and knows the true meaning of bargaining in this negotiation. The condition is to become the same as left, Anfeng and Yiyang, and even willing to let Ruyin a few more counties. However, Zhang Zhao was also determined by the king. He insisted on biting Huainan and not letting go. The focus of the dispute between the two sides was here.
"Fortunately, there was a countermeasure!" Zhao Feng and Lu Su saw that they had almost talked. They made eye contact and decided to play the cards. At the moment, Zhao Feng said, "Since General Sun doesn't want to give us Huainan for nothing, I have a proposal to replace Huainan with one place."
"Where? General Zhao, don't say An Feng Yiyang. Zhang Zhao was also very wary, for fear that he would be fooled out.
"Of course not. My Lord is willing to replace Huainan with Jiaozhou. How about it?" Zhao Feng said with a smile. This is also discussed with Liu Bei yesterday, which is the final limit for Xuzhou.
"Jiazhou?" Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu were also stunned and felt incredible. What means does Lieutenant Liu have to make us occupy Jiaozhou? Zhang Zhao couldn't help asking, and Zhou Yu was also at a loss.
"Hehe, Wu Ju, the governor of Cangwu, is my master's life and death. If I send a letter from my lord, Wu Taishou is willing to give up Cangwu County. Today, the Jiangdong army has occupied the South China Sea. If it can go down to Cangwu again, with the plot of the governor of Zhou, the seven counties of Jiaozhou, don't it mean that it can be determined? Zhao Feng said with a smile.
Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao looked at each other and nodded. Zhang Zhao then said, "It's really difficult for us to make the decision. I'll make a plan after I return it to my lord!"
"Zhang Gong, please!" Zhao Feng smiled with a smile. At present, Zhang Zhao hurried back to the camp to ask Sun Ce for instructions, but Zhou Yu stayed here waiting for Zhang Zhao's news. Looking at Zhao Feng, Zhou Yu suddenly smiled and said, "General Zhao's mouth is really powerful. I finally understand why Brother Zijing left Jiangdong and went to Xuzhou."
Lu Su couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he heard the words, but Zhao Feng laughed and said, "If Governor Zhou is willing to come to Xuzhou, the future must be unlimited, and it is much better than nesting in this corner of Jiangdong!"
"Huh?" Zhou Yu was a little speechless about Zhao Feng**'s naked digging of the wall, and then smiled and said, "How can General Yu Mengsun go somewhere else? I have received General Zhao's kindness!"
I don't want Zhao Feng to wave his hand and said, "Governor Zhou, don't blame me for Zhao Feng for saying bluntly that this land in Jiangdong is not the foundation of hegemony. The power of all families is crisscrossed, so it is easy for General Sun to calm down Jiangdong, but it is difficult to sit firmly in Jiangdong. What's more, Governor Zhou came from a poor family. I'm afraid it's not easy to have a good day!"
"This!" Zhou Yu couldn't help but be a little stunned, and then secretly admired Zhao Feng's insight. Although he has been highly respected in Jiangdong over the years, in fact, Zhang Zhao and other scholars and doctors did not pay much for him. If it hadn't been for their own military power, I'm afraid they would have been excluded by them long ago. Lu Su saw his friend's gloomy look and hurriedly persuaded him.
Soon, Zhang Zhao hurried over and said that Sun Ce agreed to replace Huainan with Jiaozhou. In addition, Lujiang County and Anfeng County belong to Sun Ce, and Yiyang belongs to Yuzhou. However, the specific delivery needs to wait for Wu Ju on the other side of Jiaozhou to react. Zhao Feng also knew that the empty check was not easy to guarantee. He nodded and said, "It's very good. My lord has already written a letter, and it can be sent to Wu Taishou. When Wu Taishou sends it to Cangwu, General Sun can withdraw from Huainan! In addition, we must not hurt Wu Taishou's surname, otherwise my lord and Wu Taishou are friends of life and death, and we will never give up. The reason why this article was added is purely because Zhao Feng remembered that Wu Ju was killed by Dongwu Buqi in history. Now if he harmed his surname for no reason, Liu Bei would not bear it.
"That's natural!" Zhang Zhao also made a promise. So the next day, both sides were busy taking over their respective territories. Liu Bei was transferred to the former lower Picheng Xu Sheng as the governor of Yiyang, but the lower Pi was left to Wu Ju to take office. In the letter to Wu Ju, Liu Bei first talked about the past, but more to explain the current situation to Wu Ju. Although Jiaozhou is located in the southern border, both Sun Ce and Liu Biao covet it. Zhang Jin, the governor of Jiaozhou, appointed by the imperial court, has been dead for a long time. At present, in the seven counties of Jiaozhou, the Shi Xie brothers occupy four counties. The remaining Nanhai County has been taken down by Sun Ce. Zhuya County is now Hainan Island, which is out of reach of overseas people. The remaining Wu Ju in Cangwu County is neither the best friend of the Shi Xie brothers, nor many elite soldiers, but still Resist the front line of Sun Ce's army. If it hadn't been for the majestic mountains in Lingnan, Wu Ju would have been able to melt his bones.
So Liu Bei asked him to leave Jiaozhou, a place of right and wrong, and come to the rich Xuzhou as an official. Presumably Wu Ju would come happily. For Sun Ce, as long as he can break through Cangwu, the remaining four counties of the Shixie brothers are not blocked by mountains, which also means that they can be broken. Thinking of this, Zhao Feng also sighed with emotion: In history, old Liu once wanted to go to Wu Ju before Chibi, but now it is Wu Ju who came to go to him, and the history has been changed too much by himself.
As for replacing Huainan with Jiaozhou, this proposal was also proposed by Zhao Feng to Liu Bei. Now Jiaozhou is mainly a three-party force, the Shi Xie brothers, Wu Ju and Sun Ce. The Shi Xie brothers have always attached to Liu Biao, while Wu Ju is his own little son, and Sun Ce and Liu Biao do not share the same day, so naturally they will not let the Shi Xie brothers go. Therefore, if Wu Ju, who is left in the middle, can get out of the matter, the rest of Sun Ce and Liu Biao will inevitably be pinched to death, which can also involve a lot of Sun Ce's energy. Liu Bei deeply believed this, and Zhang Fei and others were even more impressed by Zhao Feng's overall situation.
Wu Ju hasn't come yet, but he always has to pass. At present, the two sides are also busy. After Liu Bei issued various security measures, the people of Jiujiang County have gradually settled down and stopped migrating to Jiangdong on a large scale. According to Li Tong's estimate, only sixty or seventy-seven people actually ran, and this number is acceptable. As for the surrender of 90,000 soldiers, at the call of Ji Ling, nearly 60,000 people came here.
In ancient times, the traffic was inconvenient. When Wu Ju arrived in Xuzhou, it was almost two months later. Lord Xuande, I haven't seen you for a long time!" A middle-aged scribe who seemed to be about the same age as Liu Bei greeted Liu Bei in the carriage, and then simply jumped down and ran straight over.
"Haochen virtuous brother, it's almost 20 years since I left the capital!" Liu Bei also sighed. Now that Wu Ju has arrived, Sun Ce also kept his promise to withdraw all his troops from Huainan. Liu Bei did not restore the name of Jiujiang County, but combined Dongba County to set up Nantong County, with Zang Ba as the county guard; Xiliu County is still Shouchun County, with Zhang Liao as the county guard, and the two counties take Shouchun as the boundary to jointly defend Jiangdong. The original Guangling County was re-empted by Chen Deng, who had recovered.
"Next time we meet, we're going to fight!" Zhao Feng looked at the Jiangdong Army retreating neatly and orderly, and his heart was full of emotion. Since Sun Ce has gone, Liu Bei will also return to Xuzhou. As a result, on the way back, the military doctor who accompanied the army diagnosed that Mrs. Mi, who came to visit Liu Bei, was pregnant.
"I, Liu Bei, have been a horse for half a lifetime, and I can finally have a little bone and blood!" Liu Bei can't hide his joy. Zhao Feng calculated the time. Obviously, this child should not be the one who can't afford to help. It seems that due to his arrival, Liu Bei is not so wandering, and even the child was born early. It's just that Liu Bei is really powerful. Mrs. Mi came to visit him for more than a month, and now she has been pregnant for a month.
"The knife is not old!" Zhao Feng thought spoofly, and at the same time, he also ended his nearly year's southern and northern battles, and returned to Xuzhou with Liu Bei's army.
