Chapter 441 Sun Quan surrenders, Liu Bei is furious
"Overlord, King Wu Sun Quan is here."
Having previously wiped out the Japanese in Yizhou, Zhou Tai was naturally the first to return.
Now, after some rectification, Sun Quan was finally willing to lead his men and their families back to the mainland.
After all, being alone overseas is not a problem at all, and the king who has tens of thousands of subjects under his command is really boring in front of him.
At this moment, Sun Quan has completely lost his previous ambitions.
Even a Japanese can abuse you casually. Even if you have ambitions, you have no strength, right?
"My subordinate Sun Quan pays homage to the overlord!"
Looking at Sun Quan with a face full of vicissitudes of life, Xiang Ji couldn't help but sigh.
It is indeed not an easy task to expand the territory. This Sun Quan seems to be several years younger than that Sun Ce, right?
In terms of age, Sun Quan is only as old as Sun Ce back then.
But what about now? This damn thing is almost turning into a little old man.
"Very good, Sun Quan, if you are willing to submit to the lonely king, the lonely king will not treat you badly.
Yizhou, I will give it to you, the lonely king, as a fiefdom for your Sun family.
Also, Sun Quan, don’t call yourself the King of Wu from now on, just call yourself Marquis of Yi.”
Xiang Ji didn't get a cent from Sun Quan's reward. Yizhou was his own territory. Even Sun Quan's title of King of Wu was taken away by Xiang Ji and he was given a marquis instead.
However, Sun Quan had no complaints about this. Instead, he was overjoyed and thanked Xiang Ji repeatedly.
You know, Sun Quan was just a member of the grass-roots team before.
With less than 10,000 soldiers and tens of thousands of civilians, even a king might not be as big as a medium-sized town.
If Yizhou had not been exposed, then Sun Quan could still close his door and become the king of Wu, and even after hundreds of years of development, Yizhou might gradually become stronger.
But the question is, Yizhou has been exposed. Is it too long to live a long life by claiming the title of king and seeking self-reliance under the nose of King Chu?
Sun Quan didn't know what to think, but Sun Quan himself would never do such a stupid thing, otherwise he wouldn't have chosen to leave when he knew that Wu was defeated and his eldest brother's life was in danger.
To put it bluntly, everything is actually for the continuation of the family and for one's own prosperity and wealth.
Sun Quan could no longer be satisfied with Xiang Ji's current reward.
You know, before, he thought that he was at best like Yuan Shang, and could just give a letter to any city or county.
But I never expected that this overlord would be so generous, not caring about the land of Yizhou, and actually give him all the rewards.
Sun Quan absolutely did not believe that Zhou Tai, who went to Yizhou, did not report anything to Xiang Ji.
Yizhou is as large as a mainland state, so it's really not too small.
Nowadays, the population is sparse and cannot be cultivated too much. Otherwise, it is probably not weaker than any other state on the mainland.
But how could Sun Quan understand? Xiang Ji knew much more about Yizhou than he did.
It's not that Xiang Ji is generous, but that there is simply no way.
Based on the current productivity and transportation volume, Xiang Ji cannot directly govern Yizhou.
Management is inconvenient, and whoever you assign will basically become a local bully.
Rather than that, it would be better to continue to let Sun Quan do the development.
At the very least, Xiang Ji gave him the entire Yizhou, so he must not be willing to go to Huohuo, right?
As long as it develops for hundreds of years, Yizhou will develop and the mainland's shipping capacity will also increase, and its governance over Yizhou will naturally improve.
Xiang Ji didn't believe that he, a small Yizhou, would dare to establish a separatist regime after leaving the mainland?
As long as Sun Quan continues to develop Yizhou, tens of millions of years from now, Yizhou will always be a part of the descendants of China.
This is Xiang Ji's plan.
Of course, Sun Quan did not win Yizhou in vain.
All the civil and military personnel under his command belonged to the Chu State and became Xiang Ji's ministers.
Sun Quan has no objection to this. After all, you have to look at other people's faces to eat. If you keep a small team, aren't you looking for trouble?
Although there were no outstanding generals among Sun Quan's generals, Xiang Ji was still very satisfied with Lu Xun.
Once this kid is trained, he will definitely be no weaker than Lu Meng.
As for Sun Quan's other gift to himself, Xiang Ji also accepted it without ceremony.
Sun Shangxiang, Gong Yao Ji!
Why didn't Xiang Ji know Sun Shangxiang's name?
When Sun Quan fled during the previous annihilation of Soochow, Xiang Ji speculated that this little bitch had escaped with his brother.
The result was exactly as Xiang Ji expected, but he never thought that Sun Quan would be so sensible and take the initiative to send this little girl over to Xiang Ji.
After sending Sun Quan away who was extremely grateful, Xiang Ji naturally returned to the harem to try out the famous Sun Shangxiang.
Humph, Liu Bei, if we go by history, I have already ridden two of your women. In comparison, your head must be full of green, right?
With the pleasure of revenge, Xiang Ji walked into the palace installed for Sun Shangxiang.
Not to mention the tenderness.
At the same time, Liu Bei, who was missed by Xiang Ji, did not have green hair on his head, but his face turned blue and purple.
Actually, it's not a big deal.
It's just that the letter Xiang Ji wrote to Liu Bei was published by an accident.
Of course, this is not Liu Bei's fault.
Anyone who sees that annoying person playing around will naturally beat him out.
Liu Bei originally thought that the thing would be disposed of by the Huangmen in the palace, but he never thought that it would be discovered by his precious son Liu Chan.
At a time when he was young and eager to learn, when he saw the letter his father threw out, Liu Chan naturally wanted to read it.
However, Liu Chan, who was not very knowledgeable, really could not understand the contents of the letter.
Therefore, Liu Chan could only take the letter and go around looking for people to ask.
By asking this question, all civil and military officials of the Shu Han and Manchu dynasties knew the information on the letter.
Although Liu Bei's start was not glorious, after all, he is now the emperor of Shu Han and his boss.
No matter what happened in the hearts of the ministers, their appearance remained the same as before.
But Liu Chan's young mind was not enough for the officials to know, and they even took him out of the palace privately to study with his friends.
This time, Liu Bei was in tragedy.
The whole of Chang'an knew about Liu Bei's past scandals.
For the sake of face, the ministers would naturally not mention it.
But the people are not used to you.
Passed on, passed on, and naturally it reached Liu Bei's ears deep in the palace.
Now that Liu Bei is the emperor, the issue of face is huge.
Those things in my past have long been whitewashed by the gunman who found me and turned into a matter of enduring humiliation and not sticking to trivial matters.
Now comparing the contents of the letter with that of the King of Chu, Liu Bei was completely disgraced.
"Come here! Send the order! Tell my second brother and ask him to send troops immediately! I will destroy that title!"
