Liu Jing added: "After I leave, Xiangyang will be managed by Huan Jun, Lai Jun and Bo Miao."
Shi Huanjie, the commander on the right, Lai Gong, the commander-in-chief of the school, and Deng Zhi, the prefect of Xiangyang, all came out to make promises.
Liu Jing chose three of them to guard Xiangyang. In addition to their abilities, Huan Jie was the brother-in-law of his younger brother Liu He, Lai Gong was the brother-in-law of his sister-in-law Lai Ci, and Deng Zhi was the clan brother of his wife Deng Yuan. All three of them were related to Liu Jing by marriage.
.Only with these three people guarding his home, he can lead the army with peace of mind and not worry about the home front.
Then Liu Jing turned his eyes to Liu Zong and entrusted him: "Brother Cong, Han Gongfu, and Wen Zhongye will all lead their troops south to conquer Yuzhang. I will leave all matters in the north to you."
"...!"
Liu Zong was stunned on the spot and was speechless for a long time. He used to be the first commander of the navy under Liu Jing. It was not until Liu Jing took control of Xiangyang and appointed him as the prefect of Zhangling to guard the north and guard against Cao Cao that he returned the navy.
Military power.
In this attack on Yuzhang, the navy will undoubtedly be the main force. He originally thought that he would be the best choice for the navy commander. However, Liu Jing was a bit beyond his expectation. Han Guang and Wenpin were brought along, but
Only I didn't take him with me.
Liu Jing saw Liu Zong's hesitant expression and seemed to be unhappy, so he felt a grudge and explained softly: "Brother Cong is good at water warfare. If he is in the front line of the army, he will definitely defeat Jiangdong Zhoushi."
When Liu Zong heard this, his face turned slightly, and Liu Jing changed the topic and said: "However, in the current expedition to Yuzhang, all the army has been sent out, and the rear is empty. If Cao Mengde sends his troops to sneak out of Wancheng at this time and peek into Miannan, even if Jingchu has dangerous mountains and rivers, Jincheng
It is not strong enough to rely on, and the foundation may be in danger of overthrowing. There must be a general, both inside and outside the president, to be ready for unexpected events, and this person must be my brother."
Liu Zong stroked his short beard and finally showed off his face. Liu Jing's concerns were not unreasonable. Cao Cao was cunning and cunning, and he might not be able to do such a thing as a sneak attack on Jingzhou. And he had a reputation for being a general and a strategic commander.
He is a relative of Liu Jing. Who is more suitable to stay in Jingzhou than him?
Thinking of this, Liu Zong made a decision in his heart, nodded and said: "Okay, Zhongda can just go eastward with peace of mind, I will guard the door tightly. If Cao Mengde comes in person, I will refuse it for Zhongda. If Cao Mengde sends someone to come, I will do it for him."
Zhongda broke it."
"Good." Liu Jing held up his hands and said with a smile, "I have nothing to worry about since I have my brother to guard the house."
Speaking of Cao Cao, Huan Jie raised his concerns, "Are we sending troops to conquer other countries? Are we sending envoys to make promises? If we don't notify the court in advance, it seems to be overstepping our bounds. If we notify the court, we may be rejected by Duke Cao.
If you lose the name of righteousness, how can you punish me?"
"The Art of War says: 'When generals are out, the emperor's orders will not be accepted.' The meaning of the Spring and Autumn Annals: 'When a great official goes out to the border, he can stabilize the country and benefit the country, and he can do it professionally.'" Pang Tong said calmly: "General
He was awarded the post of General Annan by the country and was entrusted with the task of stabilizing southern Xinjiang, honoring the royal family, and fighting against the unjust. These were his responsibilities. There was no need to report to Xu Du. He only needed to send people to Hefei, Jiujiang, to inform Liu, the governor of Yangzhou, before sending troops.
It’s just delicious.”
Pang Tong's suggestion made everyone's eyes light up. Liu Fu was the governor of Yangzhou under Cao Cao. According to Jiujiang and Lujiang counties in Huainan, he was the nominal immediate superior of Sun Bi, the prefect of Yuzhang.
When Liu Jing sent troops to attack Sun Bi, regardless of sentiment or reason, he should inform Liu Fu.
Moreover, unlike Cao Cao, Liu Fu has neither the qualifications nor the ability to interfere with Liu Jing. He must report it to Xu Du and let the court decide. This round and round will take at least ten days and a half. By then, Liu Jing is afraid that he will have already
Entered Yuzhang.
Liu Jing was secretly thinking about the possibility of using his position as governor of Yuzhang as bait to drag Liu Fu into the water. If he was willing to openly oppose Sun Quan, it would have the effect of dividing Jiangdong.
However, this matter is probably useless, because the decision-making power is not in his hands, but in the hands of Cao Cao.
Cao Cao would definitely not sit back and watch him annex Jiangdong. Before the Yuan family in Hebei was pacified, he would probably instruct Liu Fu to support him, or even join forces with Sun Quan to jointly resist his invasion.
Although they were destined to be enemies, the envoy still had to be sent. Liu Jing glanced at everyone in the hall and asked: "Who is willing to send an envoy to Hefei for me?"
"General, I'd like to go." Yang Yi stood up and left the table, volunteering for orders.
He had taken part in the scientific examination before and only ranked tenth. He felt that his ranking was lower than expected, and he was not reused afterwards, so he was eager to make contributions and achieve results.
Liu Jing had already made arrangements for him, so he shook his head and refused and said: "Wei Gong has military talents. He will go on an expedition with the military adviser this time and cannot be an envoy."
"No." Yang Yi stepped back knowingly.
"General, Zhen is willing to send you to Hefei." Xi Zhen recommended himself after Yang Yi.
Xi Zhen is charming and good at talking, so he is indeed a good candidate to be sent as an envoy. Liu Jing nodded and said: "Okay, I will send Wen Xiang as an envoy to Hefei."
Next, Liu Jing asked about the servants, military resources, food and other matters one by one...
The meeting lasted for more than an hour. Just as Liu Jing was about to end the meeting, he suddenly received a report from Wuguan's servant that Ma Teng's second batch of horses and mules had arrived. It was roughly the same as before, totaling about 2,000, with half military horses and half pack horses.
This was such an unexpected surprise that Liu Jing had given up all hope. Unexpectedly, Ma Teng rushed to send the urgently needed troops and horses before dispatching troops.
Ma Teng is indeed a man of his word. He said that he would send at least two thousand more horses and mules in half a year, and he really did what he said.
"Sun Tzu's Art of War" says: "An army will perish if it has no food, and it will perish if it has no hard work." The current war is imminent, and food is the life of a military strategist. At this time, food must no longer be traded, and iron tools must be restricted and freed up.
The shortfall was filled with gold, silver, and South China Sea treasures.
Although Ma Teng is not a rare treasure in the South China Sea, there are many people who like it because he has a famous surname in Guanzhong, a military general, and a Qiang leader. It can be said that he is a treasure, and he has no worries about sales.
…………
Since this year, Jingzhou has been preparing for war with all its strength. Especially in the recent period, it has even been too lazy to cover up. Jiangdong is not blind, how could it not notice it.
Last year's Jiangxia defeat and domestic turmoil greatly damaged Jiangdong's vitality. Now it is far from recovering, and they are unwilling to go to war with Liu Jing. However, this is not up to them. They can only use up their people's resources to repair boats and build more equipment.
, accumulate military resources extensively to prepare for offensive and defensive use.
One night at the end of August, Sun Quan had just finished his political affairs and was about to undress and go to bed. Suddenly he heard his younger brother Wu Qi crying outside the door and asking for an audience. Sun Quan's heart suddenly "thumped".
Wu Qin is the second son of his uncle Wu Jing. He has been living in Danyang with Wu Jing. Now he has traveled hundreds of miles to cry for permission. This must be bad news.
"My uncle has been ill recently, could it be...!" Thinking of this, Sun Quan rushed out of the dormitory anxiously and rushed to the lobby to see Wu Qi.
As soon as Sun Quan came out, Wu Qi immediately threw himself in front of him, fell to the ground and cried loudly: "Brother, sir, sir...he is gone!"
Sun Quan's bad premonition came true. He was extremely sad for a moment. While helping Wu Qi up, he asked in a solemn voice: "My uncle is in his prime, why did he abandon us?"
Wu Qi shed tears and said: "My lord, I went to mourn my aunt, so I mourned and ruined my body. Recently, I contracted a bad disease, and I can't afford it anymore..."
Wu Jing lost his parents and was raised by Mrs. Wu. The two siblings had a deep affection for each other. Wu Jing was so sad about the death of Mrs. Wu, who was both his sister and mother, that he lost weight and contracted diseases.
This reason.
After hearing this, Sun Quan became even more sad and sighed in his heart: "Now there is a powerful enemy on the side, eyeing the east of the Yangtze River, eager to devour it, and then rush forward. Before the confrontation, we can't help you. What can we do?"
Sun Quan knew that now was not the time to feel sad, so he comforted Wu Qi a little, and then immediately sent people to summon civil and military officials to discuss countermeasures.
The guards at the door scattered out, and not long after, Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu, Zhu Zhi, Xu Kun, Lu Fan, Lu Su and others arrived one after another.
When Jiangdong officials heard that Wu Jing had died of illness, their expressions changed. Sun Quan sighed: "The terrain of Danyang is dangerous and difficult. It is adjacent to the three counties of Wu, Kuaiji and Yuzhang. It has thousands of miles around. It is a must-defend place and must not be tolerated.
Lost. Now my uncle has met with misfortune, and his two sons have not yet been crowned, so it is difficult for them to take on the important responsibilities. Who do you think can be the governor of Danyang?"
Danyang is not only an extremely important geographical location, but also has strong folk customs, good martial arts skills, and noble strength. It is the location of the best soldiers in the world. Sun Quan will never hand it over to outsiders.
All the ministers also knew this, so the first thing they considered was the Sun family members and relatives.
"How about Zhaoyi?" Zhang Zhao pondered for a moment and nominated Sun Jing, the general of Zhaoyi, who was Sun Quan's uncle. He was generous and resourceful, and could take on the important task of Danyang Prefect.
"If this is not your ambition, I cannot give in." Sun Quan shook his head and objected. Although his eldest son, Sun Hao, had coveted his position at the beginning of his heirship, Sun Quan still trusted and respected his uncle Sun Jing very much. The problem is that
Sun Jing was determined to live in seclusion and did not want to be an official.
Zhou Yu nominated Xu Kun. The latter accompanied Sun Ce in the Jiangdong campaign. He conquered Danyang and served as the governor of Danyang. He was replaced by Wu Jing after he returned to Wu from Guangling. It was most appropriate for him to succeed Danyang.
Xu Kun also believed that he was the only one to do it, but Sun Quan objected again and said: "Brother, my confidant should stay in the middle and be cautious when discussing military and national affairs, and cannot be given distant posts."
Xu Kun had many subordinates under his command, all of whom were elite in Danyang. When Sun Ce was still alive, he was quite wary of him. He did not want him to serve alone outside, but recruited him back to serve under his side. Sun Ce was like this, and Sun Quan naturally did not dare to let Xu Kun go.
It's a foreign job, let alone a place as important as Danyang.
Sun Quan rejected both of them, and everyone was silent for a while. Zhu Zhi said: "The ancients said: 'To promote a virtuous person, one should not avoid relatives and enemies.' I recommend Shu Bi. There are many evil people in Danyang, and if they let go of the dangerous mountains, they will become powerful bandits.
If the soil is leveled, the army will be strong. Shu Bi is brave and fierce, like his father and brother. If he serves as the governor of Danyang, he will be able to eliminate the harm of the powerful bandits and strengthen the army..."
Shubi refers to Sun Quan's third brother Sun Yi, whose first cousin is Shubi. As the governor of Wu County, Zhu Zhi once promoted Sun Quan and Sun Yi as Xiaolian, and was the leader of the two, so when recommending Sun Yi, he had
Don't avoid the words of relatives and enemies when promoting good people.
Sun Quan also liked Sun Yi in his heart, and asked everyone in the hall for their opinions. They all said yes, and immediately decided to make Sun Yi the prefect of Danyang.
