Chapter 218: I Don't Kill Bofu, But Bofu Dies Because of Solitude
In the morning light, the huge city gate was closed, like a dormant beast, with gatekeepers standing solemnly on both sides.
Because it was too early, the streets were extremely quiet.
But overnight, a government announcement was posted everywhere in Jiangling City, and this announcement instantly caused a wave of waves.
After hearing the news, countless people went out and stood at the announcement office. The literate people were reading the announcement loudly.
Such a big thing.
Zhuge Jin, Jiangdong's envoy, naturally got the news immediately and came outside the crowd to look at it.
Zhuge Ke had already squeezed into the first row, and he looked at the announcement seriously.
A man dressed as a scribe read to everyone, "The Han and the traitors are not at odds with each other, and the king's industry is not at peace... The Sun-Liu alliance was originally working together to fight against the Cao thieves, but recently due to the ownership of Jingzhou, the Sun-Liu alliance has had frequent frictions. In order to avoid the alliance, During the break, both parties discussed and reached an agreement."
"... General Zuo of the Han Dynasty, Marquis Ting of Yicheng, the leader of the Yuzhou pastoralist, the emperor's uncle Liu Bei; Hou Tinghou of the Han Dynasty, General Dangkou, Guan Yu, the prefect of Xiangyang; Lord of the Jiangdong Kingdom, Marquis of Wu, General Chariot and Cavalry, and Xuzhou pastor Sun Quan, all contributed to their efforts It flourished in Hanzhong."
"It is hereby agreed that for a period of one year, if the leader of the Eastern Wu Kingdom invades the Han bandits from the north and captures a county in Hefei, the bandit general Guan Yu will fulfill the agreement of "the Xiang River is the boundary". From then on, the three counties of Jiangxia, Guiyang, and Changsha will belong to the east of the Yangtze River. Within one year, the ruler of Soochow will not be able to capture Hefei, and the agreement with the Xiang River as the boundary will be abolished on the spot. From then on, Jingzhou will have nothing to do with Soochow! I hereby declare to the people of Jingzhou."
After reading this long paragraph, one of the common people slapped his head, a bit confused by the monk Zhang Er.
"Why are the three armies of Jiangxia, Guiyang, and Changsha going back and forth and giving way? What does this mean?"
An old man next to him answered: "It's a long story. In the 13th year of Jian'an, the Sun-Liu alliance severely damaged Cao Cao in the Battle of Chibi. So far, the seven counties of Jingzhou were divided up by the three families of Uncle Liu, Wu Hou and Cao Cao."
"The Cao thieves occupied Nanyang County, the largest county in the north of Jingzhou, and Jiangxia County north of the Yangtze River. Wuhou took Jiangxia County south of the Yangtze River and most of Nanjun. Liu Huangshu took Nanjun south of the Yangtze River, as well as Changsha and Lingling in the south of Jingzhou. The four counties of Guiyang and Wuling."
"Later, after the Battle of Nanjun, Cao's bandits retreated to Xiang and Fan. Zhou Yu, the governor of Jiangdong, led the governor of Nanjun and divided the southern part of Nanjun to Liu Huangshu. Liu Huangshu then stationed troops in the public security. Later, the governor of Zhou died of illness, and Liu Huangshu went to the Marquis of Wu. Borrow Jingzhou."
"Wuhou was unwilling to lend it, but with the support of Lu Su, the new governor of Jiangdong, he still lent Nanjun to Liu Huangshu. So far...Liu Huangshu had a complete Nanjun, and he fought against Cao Cao in the north, and thus captured the base. Yizhou!”
Speaking of this, the old man paused, stroked his beard, and continued: "Since Uncle Liu Huang entered Shu, there have been rumors that Jiangdong sent envoys to Bashu to reclaim the lent Jingzhou land. Zhuge Military Advisor proposed "Xiang River is the boundary", and Jiangxia, Guiyang, and Changsha were divided into Soochow, but our Guan Gong refused to recognize it and refused to hand over the three counties to Jiangdong. This matter was spread in Jiangdong, and after that... This is announced!"
No wonder the old man told it in such detail.
The news of Liu Bei borrowing Jingzhou has long been spread in Jingzhou and Jiangdong, and it is not difficult for those who are interested to find out.
However, there are not many people who know as well as this old man.
Zhuge Jin, on the other hand, looked at the notice and listened to what the old man said, and he felt like he was falling into an indescribable confusion.
What's going on?
What is going on?
After he came to Jiangling, he met Guan Yu once, and was almost given an "expulsion order" by Guan Yu with sharp words.
Have the two parties talked about it?
Have you reached any contract?
Zhuge Jin looked confused.
But on this notice...
What is "negotiation by both parties"? What is "reaching an agreement"?
We haven't even discussed it yet, but have we reached a hammer agreement?
Subconsciously, Zhuge Jin felt that this announcement was fake, from the wording to the sentence construction, to the content... it was all fake, so fake!
But unfortunately, the seal at the bottom of the announcement is extremely clear.
——Seal of General Dangkou.
——Hou Yin, Shouting of Han Dynasty.
——Guan Gong’s seal.
It can be said that whether they are sealed by Liu Bei, sealed by the emperor, or recognized by Guan Jiajun, there are many of Guan Yu's three seals and ribbons.
In other words, this notice is not just something children play around with, it is real, real!
There was a lot of discussion around him.
Some scribes shook their heads, "Doesn't this mean that for one year, it depends on whether Jiangdong can win Hefei."
"If we can get it, the agreement on the demarcation of the Xiang River is valid, and the three counties of Changsha, Guiyang, and Jiangxia will be given to Jiangdong. If not, then the ownership of Jingzhou will be completely settled, and there will no longer be any talk of 'borrowing' Jingzhou by Uncle Liu Huang."
"
The scribe deliberately emphasized the word "borrow" in his words.
And this word is the core and key of this notice...and even the Sun-Liu Alliance.
A girl asked: "Then, can Jiangdong conquer Hefei?"
Needless to say, as soon as this question was raised, it immediately aroused widespread discussion.
"Isn't Cao Cao's main force in Hanzhong? Then Hefei is isolated and helpless? If we can't defeat it, then Jiangdong is too weak?"
"It's hard to say. I heard that General Cao Ying stationed in Hefei was Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan. I'm afraid you have forgotten the Battle of Bailang Mountain in the 12th year of Jian'an? I heard from merchants in the north that Zhang Wenyuan was crazy to kill in that battle!"
"So what if you kill him like crazy? A clever woman can't make a meal without rice. No matter how powerful Zhang Wenyuan is, can just a few people stop Soochow's invasion with the power of the whole country? I'm afraid you don't know, but recently the Marquis of Wu has been building
We have assembled 100,000 troops and are ready to march north to Hefei at any time!"
For a time, the discussion on whether Jiangdong could capture Hefei intensified.
The issue of the ownership of the three counties of Changsha, Guiyang, and Jiangxia has also become the focus of discussion among the people in Jiangling.
The more Zhuge Jin looked at it, the more he felt frightened. He gritted his teeth.
After all, he has a good temper, but at this moment, his brows are inevitably filled with anger.
He said harshly: "Is this... is this bullying me, Jiangdong No One?"
Zhuge Jin wished he could just go and intercept the notice and tell everyone that he was the Jiangdong envoy and had never discussed it with Guan Yu, let alone reached such an agreement.
Unexpectedly, his son Zhuge Ke caught him before he had an attack.
Zhuge Ke whispered: "Father...this notice will be announced to Jiangling and everyone will know it. This is a great joy for me in Jiangdong!"
Hmm…
Zhuge Jin looked at his son Zhuge Ke with suspicion.
Zhuge Ke smiled brightly, but he still suppressed his voice, but his tone could not stop throbbing. "My child has understood that with outstanding talents and achievements that can build a country, the one who wants to win the three counties east of the Xiangshui River is none other than our Zhuge Ke.
No one belongs to you!"
this…
Zhuge Jin became even more confused. For a moment, he even felt that not only did he not understand this "notice" from Jiangling City.
Even...even his son can't see through it!
etc?
What does Ke'er mean?
Under this notice, he had the idea to go to Jiangxia, Changsha, and Guiyang?
