Chapter 134 Everyone, no, gentlemen!!

Chapter 134: Everyone, no, gentlemen!!

"Lord Jian, are you still unwilling to come out?" Liu Wu asked indifferently.

A young official said: "Sir, Lord Jian..."

"Ma Liang, you called the wrong person." Liu Wu interrupted him.

Ma Liang quickly changed his words and said, "My lord, Lord Jian still doesn't want to come out. He said that a minister should not serve two masters."

In history, Ma Liang was Guan Yu's chief clerk. Now, all four counties in southern Jing had surrendered to Liu Wu, and Ma Liang was naturally among them.

Such a capable person was naturally promoted by Liu Wu early on to be Chen Dao's deputy.

Historically, Ma Liang was very capable in pacifying the Wuling barbarians.

"Well, I see."

"Ma Liang, get ready. You will go to Wuling County with Chen Dao to take up your post soon..."

"Yes, my lord."

After saying this, Liu Wu stood up and walked out of the hall.

He mounted his horse, waved his whip, and rode away in a cloud of dust.

In a moment,

Liu Wu had already arrived at the Public Security Dungeon and passed through three doors before he arrived at the door of a cell.

In the cell,
Liu Wu saw a man over fifty years old with messy hair and lifeless eyes sitting on a haystack.

He pushed the door open and walked in: "Uncle, why are you still here?"

The man who was over fifty turned his head and looked at Liu Wu, and sighed: "Now you own thirty counties in Jiangbei and four counties in Jingnan. How powerful are you?"

"What are you doing here? Walk, walk, walk..."

Liu Wu was no longer the superior he used to be, but just a junior. "I'm here to pick you up, uncle. Don't be stubborn, just follow Liu Wu."

Jian Yong shook his head and only heard him say, "A minister should not serve two masters. Liu Wu, I will not serve you."

Liu Wu said, "I heard that my uncle was imprisoned here because he was instigating a mutiny in the city. He wanted to welcome me into the city. Is that true?"

"That's true, but I'm not doing this to surrender to you!" Jian Yong began to get excited: "I'm doing this to prevent Liu Xuande from being stubborn again!"

"I did this to make Liu Xuande do what he should do, so that he would be forced to hand over his foundation to you!"

“But I failed.”

"You two are finally at war, the victors are the kings and the losers are the bandits. As an official of Liu Bei, you want to kill..."

Before Jian Yong could finish his words "If you want to kill me, then kill me", his words were interrupted by Liu Wu.

In fact, Liu Wu did not allow him to say this at all: "Liu Wu knew that his uncle was a loyal and righteous man, but now Liu Bei has gone to Jiangdong."

"I have prepared a ship at the dock, and there are two hundred soldiers escorting it. Uncle, please go to Jiangdong."

Jian Yong said, "Don't worry about me, just go away."

Liu Wu: "Uncle, you're not going to Jiangdong?"

Jian Yong: "No."

Liu Wu: “Why?”

Jian Yong: "He killed Sun Qian, which is really chilling. I, Jian Yong, will no longer work for Liu Xuande."

Sun Qian!

This is an old man who has followed Liu Bei for many years.

At that time, Liu Bei led his troops to charge outside the city of Gong'an. Sun Qian went up to stop him, but was beheaded by Liu Xuande.

Such a scene chilled the hearts of many people.

"In that case, uncle can go wherever he wants in the future."

"A carriage has been prepared for your uncle outside the prison, and all the money for the journey is also on the carriage."

"Also, Sun Qian has been buried with great honor. His tomb is ten miles west of the city..."

After saying this, Liu Wu turned around.

I wanted to leave.

It was not until this moment that Jian Yong's expression finally became somewhat moved: "Although you have crawled out of a sea of ​​blood and corpses since you were a child, you still have some humanity. There are some things you do better than Liu Bei..."

Hearing this,

Liu Wu stopped and looked back at Jian Yong. He couldn't help but say with regret: "When I first met my uncle, I was two or three years old. I was starving at that time. My uncle came on horseback that year and brought me a bag of food."

“To avoid gossip from the neighbors, my uncle didn’t even go into the house.”

"Before leaving, my uncle secretly stuffed a few copper coins into Liu Wu's arms..."

"Liu Wu still remembers it, does your uncle still remember it?"

Jian Yong was stunned.

He was looking straight at Liu Wu at this moment, as if he was seeing this person for the first time.

"That winter, there was a severe drought in Hebei. I was cold and hungry and couldn't stand it any longer..."

"The sheepskin coat my uncle gave me was stolen. I had no choice but to walk dozens of miles with my mother to find my uncle..."

"I was starving and cold, and I couldn't walk any more halfway. It was snowing, and although my mother held me in her arms, I had already lost consciousness..."

"My mother and I just thought we were going to die."

"But my mother and I didn't die. When I woke up, we were already at my uncle's house."

"It turned out that my uncle came to deliver food in the snow, and happened to see me freezing on the road..."

"My uncle's broth is delicious."

"The bed at my uncle's house is really warm..."

"When I was at my uncle's house, I was thinking, if only Liu Wu was my uncle's son, then we wouldn't have to suffer from hunger and cold..."

Liu Wu said this,

Jian Yong's tears were already flowing down continuously.
He covered his face and cried, using his sleeves to cover his eyes. He was too embarrassed to even look directly at the child he had watched grow up: "I heard that you ran away on a snowy night. I was still in Chengdu at that time. I rushed back to persuade your father, but he didn't listen at all!"

"Who could have expected that you have already established a career in Jiangbei..."

Liu Wu took a deep breath, bowed deeply, and said, "If it weren't for my uncle, Liu Wu would have died young!"

"I have no way to repay my uncle for saving my life..."

At this moment, Jian Yong's emotions could no longer be contained. With tears streaming down his face, he stood up and grabbed Liu Wu's arm: "Awu, Awu!"

"How could I not know how frustrated you are?!"

"You have suffered too much and endured too much pain..."

"I, Jian Yongrong, really misjudged Liu Xuande!!!"

……

……

The next day,

Dawn!

In the meeting hall of Gong'an City.

Many civil officials and military generals gathered at this moment!

Liu Wu, who was sitting on the main seat, was writing a memorial with his head down.

Yes, memorials.

Submit a memorial to the emperor!

When Liu Wu put down the wolf hair brush in his hand, everyone's minds were immediately lifted...

"Teacher, I have submitted a memorial to the Emperor, asking you to be the military advisor and to supervise the military affairs both inside and outside the country."

Pang Tong nodded slightly.

From then on, he, Fengchu, became the chief military advisor of the great prince Liu Wu.

There are so many military strategists in these troubled times, but he, Fengchu, will be the only one who can be recognized by the emperor.

Liu Wu: "Bo Yan." Lu Xun stood up and bowed, saying: "My lord."

Liu Wu said: "I will submit a memorial to the emperor to recommend you as the deputy governor of Jingzhou."

Beijia is an official in the provincial government who is in charge of all affairs.

His status was extremely high, second only to the governor of a province. According to the Han system, even when the governor of a province went on tour, he did not ride in the same carriage with the inspector, but rode in a separate carriage.

Lu Xun quickly expressed his loyalty: "My lord, I will definitely fulfill my mission!"

Needless to say, he was very excited.

Liu Wu’s strength is no weaker than Jiangdong now!
And Lu Xun is the deputy governor of Jingzhou, and his status is comparable to Zhang Zhao of Jiangdong...

Even if the Jiangdong Lu family went back hundreds of years, there would be no one with a higher rank than him.

As soon as Lu Xun withdrew, Liu Wu said, "Mi Zhu."

Mi Zhu immediately stepped forward and said, "I am here."

Liu Wu said calmly, "I have recommended you to be the governor in the memorial. You will have to worry more about finance and taxation in the future."

Zhizhong, also known as Zhizhong Congshi, was in charge of the documents of all the Caos. His position was second only to Beijia and was equivalent to a deputy governor.

His position is higher and his power is greater than when he followed Liu Bei!

The difference is that before, he only managed 48 counties in Jingnan under Liu Bei, but now he is in charge of Jingnan, Jiangbei, and part of Huainan, a total of 89 counties!

No one is better suited to manage money than Mi Zhu.

Liu Wu knew very well that Liu Bei had been defeated in battles over and over again for so many years, but he still managed to make a comeback. This was partly because of his good character.

But the more important reason is that the golden toad Mi Zhu keeps spitting out gold coins for him.

From now on, this golden toad belongs to him.

"Jian Yong."

After Liu Wu's voice fell, Jian Xianhe slowly stood up. Liu Wu hurriedly said, "Uncle, just sit down. I have recommended you to work for Jingzhou in the memorial. I will need your help in the future."

The Congshi was an official under the Zhou Mu, responsible for assisting the governor in handling administrative and military affairs within the state.

Jian Yong bowed and said, "I obey your command."

Jian Yong is still quite disciplined...

Military strategist Pang Tong!

Don't worry, Lu Xun!
Zhizhong Mi Zhu!

Engage in Jian Yong!
From this moment on, the core of Liu Wu Group's military and political power has been determined, and their talents are beyond doubt! !
"Wei Yan! You are the governor of Nanjun, and you will lead an army of 20,000! Station them in Jiangling and Gong'an."

Wei Wenchang accepted the order: "Yes!"

Wei Yan is the chief military general, and no one can snatch it from him.

Liu Wu lowered his head and said, "General Gao Shun is not here today, but I have recommended him as the governor of Jiujiang and he will lead an army of 10,000 to garrison Hefei..."

"Gan Ning was appointed governor of Jiangxia, commanding 25,000 naval forces stationed in the cities of Xiling and Xiakou."

Gan Ning quickly stood up: "Yes!"

His voice even had a slight tremor...

Twenty-five thousand naval forces!
I am now qualified to compete with Jiangdong Grand Commander Zhou Gongjin...

Now Liu Wu is not worried about Gan Ning's loyalty at all.

Moreover, Liu Wu’s current capital is in Xiling, and Gan Ning is right under his nose, which actually means he is his deputy.

……

"Old General Huang Zhong is the governor of Changsha, but the military affairs of Lingling and Guiyang counties are also under your jurisdiction. Lead 10,000 troops and take charge of the southern border."

Commanding three counties can be said to give Huang Zhong enough face. Because Jiaozhou in the south must be guarded, Huang Zhong is the most suitable local snake.

You know, his former master Han Xuan was only in charge of Changsha.

"Huang Zhong obeys the order!"

Liu Wu could sense that General Huang Zhong was a little flattered...

……

"Chen Dao is the governor of Wuling. He leads 5,000 soldiers. Together with Ma Liang, he will recruit another 5,000 Wuling barbarians and train 10,000 white-eared soldiers for me."

"promise!"

……

"Mi Fang, you will be the governor of Lujiang. I will give you 5,000 soldiers. But when you are in Huainan, you must follow the lead of General Gao Shun!"

"promise!"

Liu Wu knew that Mi Fang was unreliable, but he still had to reward him.

Lujiang is sandwiched between Gao Shun's Jiujiang and Jiangxia, and is not important, so let him come out to make a cameo appearance.

……

Another ten thousand are Liu Wu's personal troops, who will be stationed in Xiling.

All these add up to 80,000 troops, plus there are 10,000 prisoners to be exchanged with Jiangdong, so that will be an army of 90,000 at that time!

Close the memorial!

Liu Wu: "Expedite it and send it to Xuchang."

Soldiers immediately took over.

Liu Wu slowly stood up from his seat, looked around at the civil and military officials, and smiled, which was rare: "Everyone, no, it should be the gentlemen..."

Good gentleman,
Everyone in the hall couldn't help laughing.

After a while, Liu Wu asked again: "What are you waiting for?"

"Let's all take up our posts immediately."

next moment,
The hall was solemn, and everyone bowed: "Yes!!"

In today's chaotic world, Liu Wu naturally has the final say on matters in his territory, and sending them to the emperor is just a formality.

Today, the Xiling Group has finally grown bigger and stronger and has reached a certain scale!
……

……

The army is returning!

The mighty Jingzhou navy filled the river surface and sailed downstream...

In the center of the fleet, inside the cabin of the main ship with the large flag hoisted,

Liu Wu was playing chess with Jian Yong.

Chess board, chess pieces, chopsticks, dice, and the "chess" for throwing chopsticks.

Each side has six pieces, distinguished by black and white...

Liubo chess is a chess game with a long history. Legend has it that it was first created by Wu Cao, a minister of King Jie of Xia, and became popular in the Han Dynasty.

The veteran player Jian Yong had won three games in a row. He didn't want to bully the weak player anymore, so he asked, "My lord, when do you plan to go to Xuchang to meet the emperor?" Liu Wu, who had just learned the game not long ago, was still thinking about Liubo chess and said casually, "Sun Quan is in Xiling. Let's go see him first, then the emperor."

"Sun Quan is in Xiling?" Jian Yong frowned. As a new member of Xiling Group, he didn't know about this yet. "Why is Sun Zhongmou in Xiling?"

Liu Wu raised his head and said, "Uncle, there was a great victory in Hefei not long ago."

"General Gao Shun captured Sun Quan alive and was originally going to send him to Gong'an. When our army returned to Xiling, we took him directly to Xiling City."

After Liu Wu finished speaking, Jian Yong was completely dumbfounded.

Liu Wu had captured Cao Cao alive before.

Now Sun Quan has also been captured alive...

They were all taken to Xiling...

This Xiling is really a happy city for heroes in the late Han Dynasty...

"No!" Jian Yong suddenly realized, "Sun Quan has been captured alive in Xiling. Who will Liu Xuande go to in Jiangdong?!"

Liu Wu spread his hands: "I don't know either..."
