Chapter five hundred and ninety seventh brothers meet
Sima Yi's words made the pottery merchant quite happy, but also quite confused.
Xuzhou plus Jiangdong, under the rule of the pottery merchants, there were ten counties and hundreds of cities. The territory was so vast that the pottery merchants were a little confused. Why did Nanchang, the seat of Kuaiji, have to be chosen among so many cities?
city.
The pottery merchant looked at Sima Yi with some interest and said curiously: "Zhongda, tell me what you think?"
Sima Yi looked around, and then whispered to Tao Shang: "Teacher, establishing an emperor in Nanchang has three advantages."
"Which three points?"
Sima Yi began to analyze the pottery merchant one by one: "First of all, according to Mr. Guo's school affairs report, Liu Biao and Fu Wan of Jingzhou have decided that Fu Wan and Liu Bei will jointly protect Liu Qiong and establish the emperor in Jiangling City.
The city belongs to the south of Nanjun, and its city is located on the bank of the Yangtze River. If the teacher wants to establish an emperor, the capital must first be targeted at the puppet dynasty, and its strategic position must be tit for tat with the puppet dynasty's capital, forming pressure on the puppet dynasty."
The pottery merchant nodded and agreed.
Sima Yi continued: "From a geographical point of view, apart from Jinling, Hangzhou, Suzhou and other cities, only Nanchang is feasible. However, the three major cities are the teacher's hard work for several years. If they can be handed over to the Han so easily.
It is a pity that Shi should be the capital city. After all, the teacher's reputation in Jiangnan over the years is unparalleled. Most of the reasons are due to the prosperity of the three cities and cannot be easily put aside by others. Therefore, now the teacher can only choose Nanchang."
The pottery merchant looked Sima Yi up and down, secretly saying that his vision in this kind of matter was indeed much higher than that of ordinary people.
"What are the other two points for making Nanchang the capital?"
Sima Yi said: "After defeating Yuan Shu, the teacher lent a lot of county towns to Lu Bu and Sun Ce. Now they have occupied Jiujiang, Lujiang and Lu'an. When we fought against Yuan Shao in Guandu, the two generals joined forces with Zhang Xian.
They fought with Liu Biao and occupied some border towns in Jiangxia County, but they were still unable to capture Huang Zu's base. These two tigers and wolves were now anxious. The teacher decided to make his capital Nanchang City, and then continued to have close friendship with Lu Bu and Sun Ce, taking charge of them.
supply from the rear, allowing them to continue their fierce attack on Jiangxia County. With the combined efforts of the two parties and three people, the pressure exerted on the puppet government must be huge."
It was Lu Bu and Sun Ce, and the capital city of Nanchang would actually have such a chain reaction. This incident surprised the pottery merchant. It seems that Sima Yi really made a lot of decisions about the matter of the Jing emperor when he returned home.
of hard work.
For a baby who works so hard, he should at least be rewarded with a piece of candy later.
"third?"
"Nanchang is close to Baiyue. In recent years, it has also been the territory of the Fuyi Zhonglang general. The Fuyi Zhonglang general has managed Baiyue in an orderly manner in these years. The southeastern border is devoted to him and respects him very much. He is also the person whom the teacher trusts most.
, is also the uncle of the emperor. We will put the emperor in Nanchang City, and Fuyi Zhonglang will take care of him on his behalf, so the teacher can rest assured."
The Fuyi Zhonglang general mentioned by Sima Yi refers to Tao Ying.
Tao Shang looked at Sima Yi deeply for a while, and then suddenly said: "I have taught you for six or seven years, and it was only today that I realized that you are really not a kind person. If you are a good emperor, there are so many dark things around you."
Every corner has made you wonder... your kid is mentally unhealthy."
Sima Yi said aggrievedly: "Teacher, please touch your conscience and carefully think about what you have done over the years... Let's go to this place, which one is not a kind person?"
The pottery merchant lowered his head and pondered for a long time. Finally, he waved his hands dejectedly and said, "Okay, I admit, I'm not a kind person...it's me."
…
After making up his mind, the pottery merchant immediately opened an altar to worship heaven on the earthen platform in Pengcheng, paid homage to Liu Xie, and mourned those who died in the Fanxian disaster. Then he made arrangements for Pengcheng's defense, and then led a group of people. Civil and military officials, including their own children, went to Nanchang City to arrange matters concerning his enthronement.
A group of people arrived at Nanchang City, and Tao Ying and his wife Hua'er came out to greet them personally.
"elder brother!"
"younger brother!"
The two brothers hugged each other tightly. After not seeing each other for a long time, Tao Ying seemed to have matured a lot, and seemed to be a little less childish than before, but the extremely urinary simplicity in his bones seemed to have not been affected. Change.
After Tao Ying met with the pottery merchant, he asked Yan Baihu, Yan Yu, He Qi, Lu Dai, Liu Yao and others who had assisted him over the years to meet the pottery merchant respectively, and then a large group of people came in groups. Walking inside Nanchang City.
The pottery merchant and Tao Ying rode side by side and talked to each other.
"Second brother, you have managed our Tao family's Yuzhang and Kuaiji counties very well in recent years. In recent years, I have been paying close attention to reports on the improvement of the southeastern border. If I can provide you with resources, I am my brother. It has always been good, and you have lived up to the expectations that father and I have for you... Especially in appeasing Baiyue, you have done a good job. Now Fuyi Zhonglang will use Tao Ying's name in Baiyue. It can be said that he is very prestigious among the various ministries, and his father is also very happy in Pengcheng."
Tao Ying chuckled, touched his head and said, "It's all the capable people arranged by my eldest brother for me. Lu Dai, He Qi and others are all great talents. It's thanks to them that everything goes smoothly for my younger brother."
The pottery merchant shook his head and said: "That's not only that, you have a lot of control under your own control, which is far from what it was back then."
Tao Ying blushed and looked very shy. He was not like this on weekdays. He was just a little embarrassed when facing his brother's praise.
After all, besides Tao Qian, the pottery merchant was the person he respected the most.
"Brother, how is your father now?" Tao Ying asked curiously.
As soon as he mentioned Tao Qian, the potter's face suddenly showed a helpless smile.
After the Battle of Guandu, when the Tao merchant returned to Pengcheng, he made a special trip to visit Tao Qian and Wang Yun, who were learning qigong from Yu Ji.
To be honest, Yu Ji's starting point was to teach them how to cultivate their bodies and minds, so that they could stay healthy.
The problem is that Wang Yun and Tao Qian have high aspirations. Not only do they want to live longer... they have not given up on their dream of immortality.
After the two of them finished practicing qigong with Yu Ji on weekdays, they secretly thought about practicing some side tricks.
The pottery merchant had nothing in common with them. The two old men started talking about difficult words such as "the fairy sword transformed into shape and ascended". The pottery merchant felt that he could not talk to them on the same level.
Two old men who dream every day that they can destroy the world with just one finger will not get along well with their filial son.
"My father is in good health. My second brother doesn't need to worry too much."
Tao Ying suddenly said "Oh" and said nothing more. After all, he still trusted his brother very much.
"By the way, brother, where is our nephew? He is the emperor who ascended the throne this time. I want to see him?"
Tao Ying's request was normal. After all, he was a nephew and the future emperor of the world. It was Tao Shang's key to establishing an emperor. There was nothing wrong with Tao Ying being anxious to see it.
The pottery merchant accompanied him to the carriage at the rear, where Yuan Wan and Mrs. Feng were taking care of little Liu Xi.
Xiao Liu Xi was sleeping soundly now. He was lying in Mrs. Feng's arms with a sweet look on his face.
Tao Ying stared at the child carefully for a long time, then suddenly grinned and said sillyly:
"Brother, this kid is so good-looking... He really looks like his uncle!"
