The Three Kingdoms started from fooling Jia Xu

Chapter 244 Prisoner!return!
Yuzhou, Xudu.

In the prime minister's mansion, Xun Yu's face was gloomy.

After a long time, he still couldn't contain his anger. He slapped the wooden table in front of him and shouted violently: "Stupid, stupid. Everyone in the Sun family is an idiot,"

"Lingjun, why are you so angry?" In the hall, Man Chong was stunned for a moment. He had rarely seen Xun Yu so angry, so he couldn't help clasping his fists and asking.

"It's fine if Sun Ce loses to Zhang Xiu in Jiangdong, and Sun Quan loses to him like a thunderbolt. Now that Zhang Xiu already sits in Jingzhou and Yangzhou, his strength may only be comparable to Yuan Shao."

Xun Yu said solemnly.

Zhang Xiu's strength is definitely not what you see in front of you. This person is more cunning and has countless foreign objects. Before, he could defeat Cao Cao three times with only one state, but now...
"Sitting on Jing and Yang?" Man Chong was stunned for a moment, the Sun family fell so soon?What the hell did you say that Jiangdong is the foundation of the Sun family?The basics are like this?

Damn, it really is Jiangdong Xiaoba.

"Lingjun, Zhang Xiu's entry into Yangzhou will present a multi-pronged attack on our army, so we must guard against it." Although Man Chong doesn't know the art of war, Yangzhou Hefei can directly penetrate Henan and Xu, which can be described as a sharp edge.

Xun Yu shook his head, "Zhang Xiuxin occupies Yangzhou, so he probably won't consider going north in a short time."

After finishing speaking, Xun Yu was a little worried, and added: "But I'm not afraid of [-], just in case. In this case, I will send a letter to the lord."

"If there is no progress in the battle in Guanzhong, then hurry up and retreat in the autumn harvest, prepare to emigrate to Xuzhou, and let Yuan Shao take over the Central Plains, otherwise I'm afraid it will be too late."

Speaking of this, Xun Yu stopped hesitating and took up a pen to write. The general content was that Jiangdong had fallen into the hands of Zhang Xiu. He was worried that Zhang Xiu would force him to attack rashly, so he asked Cao Cao to come back.

After a while, put pen to paper.

Xun Yu blew two breaths of hot air, then stuffed it into the bamboo tube, then took out two white papers, wrote a letter to each, and said to Man Chong:
"In addition to the lord's letter, one of these two letters is addressed to Yuan Shao and the other to Liu Zhang. Remember, the messenger must personally deliver the letter to the two of them."

"In today's world, the only one who can check and balance Zhang Xiu is Yuan Shao, and after Zhang Xiu wins Yangzhou, his next goal is very likely to be Yizhou, so make preparations in the morning."

"No!" Man Chong immediately nodded in response.

Looking at the back of Man Chong retreating, Xun Yu looked anxious and let out a sigh of relief.

Jian'an three years, midsummer.

Zhang Xiu, Mu Zhangxiu of Jingzhou, led a total of [-] soldiers and horses on land and water. It took more than two months to completely pacify the six counties of Yangzhou, beheading Sun Ce and a group of generals.

The whole Sun family was captured and taken to Xiangyang, and Lu Su, Zhang Zhao, Zhou Tai and other civil and military officials surrendered.

So far, the Sun family in Jiangdong was defeated, while Zhang Xiu dominated Jing and Yang, occupying almost the entire Yangtze River Basin.

At the same time, with Nanyang, Lujiang, and Jiujiang as the boundaries, set up important towns, Yecheng, Yangquan, and Shouchun respectively, with strong walls and clear fields, waiting for the secret.

The number of people under Zhang Xiu's command exceeded 800 million in one fell swoop, and the Minyin was prosperous. After the soldiers under his rule incorporated Jiangdong's elite, they expanded to 15 standing troops and [-] local troops in one fell swoop.In terms of military strength, only Jizhou Yuan Shaoneng is stronger than Zhang Xiu.

Among them, Zhuge Liang led the soldiers from Eastern Wu and the soldiers from Jingzhou, a total of [-] elite soldiers, guarding Yangzhou and Shouchun. At the same time, he was also responsible for managing government affairs, almost coordinating the entire Yangzhou.

Huang Zhong led [-] elite troops from Jingzhou to defend Yecheng.

Liu Ye and Zhang Liao led [-] infantry, and [-] iron cavalry guarded Yangquan. The entire Jianghuai River Basin was already densely covered like an iron barrel.

Admiral Gan Ning, deputy commander Jiang Qin, and surrendered general Zhou Tai mobilized [-] sailors from Jingzhou to supply water from Chaohu Lake, connect the Huai River basin, and enter the Huai River.

Wenpin commanded thousands of people and stationed in Changsha to secure Jingnan and deter Jingnan Shanyue and Shixie of Jiaozhi.At the same time, Zhang Xiu mobilized Xi's family from Xiangyang to take control of Changsha and leave the territory.

Huo Jun commanded [-] elite troops and [-] local troops to guard Yizhou in the west, waiting for the secret.

Xiangyang was guarded by the commander of Wei Yan with more than [-] Jingjia to make Jingjing small. In addition, Jia Xu, Chen Qun, Cui Jun, Shi Tao, Kuai Liang, Zhang Zhao, Lu Su and other civil servants stayed with Xiangyang, responsible for handling government affairs.

As soon as this news came out, the world was shaken, all the princes looked sideways, and the most terrified of them were Shi Xie of Jiaozhou and Liu Zhang of Yizhou.

For this reason, Shi Xie specially proclaimed his minister to pay tribute, but instead of listening to the imperial court's call, he recognized Zhang Xiu as the king. At the same time, he sent people to send countless gold and silver treasures.

The most important thing is that he is a little scared. Jing and Yang are both adjacent to him. Can Zhang Xiu not deal with him?

No matter what, let him lick Zhang Xiu first, let him be cool for a few years before talking about it. After all, Jiaozhi is located in a remote, poor village, and I just hope that Zhang Xiu will not look down on this small place.

Otherwise, as long as Zhang Xiu thinks about it, the intercourse will last at most half a year, and it will also be under Zhang Xiu's command.

West of Xiangyang City,

More than twenty miles away, Wollongong.

On Wollongong, in addition to Zhuge Liang's original thatched cottages, some thatched cottages and gazebos were newly built.

Outside the thatched hut, Zhang Xiu specially arranged for people to transplant some fruit trees, stone piers, etc., together with the small fenced yards around it, it is quite artistic.

At this time, on Wollongong, a big boss, Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin, also ushered in.

Guo Jia, who was originally bored, his eyes lit up the moment he saw Zhou Yu. Although there is no shortage of food and drink here, it is too boring. He drinks and entertains himself every day.

Guo Jia put down the jug in his hand and looked at Zhou Yu up and down. The latter was handsome and upright, and immediately stepped forward suspiciously: "Are you Zhou Yu?"

Zhou Yu was slightly surprised, and looked at the soldier who led him over, the latter had already left.

Seeing that Zhou Yu didn't deny it, Guo Jia almost confirmed his guess, because after he was arrested, Zhang Xiu would definitely attack Yangzhou, but he didn't expect it would happen.
Guo Jia immediately raised his eyebrows and said, "Zhou Yu, you, the great governor of Jiangdong, have been arrested? Could it be that Sun Ce has already been defeated?"

"Defeated, Jiang Dong has already belonged to Zhang Xiu." Zhou Yu replied with a downcast expression.

Zhang Xiu didn't give him a chance. If he had been given a chance, Jiang Dong would never have lost so simply, and Sun Ce would not have died so quickly.

Guo Jia was taken aback, and did everything he could?
He was horrified, how long has it been?Zhang Xiu has already conquered Yangzhou, how strong is he?

Thinking of this, Guo Jia shook his head, stretched out his hand and signaled: "Gong Jin, since we are here, there is no need to think too much, come on, no one has been drinking and playing chess with me for a long time, how about a game of chess?"

"Alcohol is fine, but chess is free."

Zhou Yu strode forward, grabbed the wine jar on the side of the stone table, and directly raised his head to take a few sips. He somewhat lost his energy.

After drinking half a pot, Zhou Yu fell down on the stone pier with an indifferent expression, shook his head and said in a daze, "I lost this battle, but Bofu died tragically. It's all my fault."

"Hehe," Guo Jia took a sip of the turbid wine and said with a light smile, "Why should Gong Jin blame himself? It's no shame to lose to Zhang Xiu, because he has too many strange things under his command."

Before Zhou Yu could ask, Guo Jia continued to smile and said, "Gong Jin, now Zhang Xiu sits in Jing and Yang. There are nearly ten million people in these two places, and he has already become one of the largest princes in the world."

"Who do you think is most likely to rule the world today?"

"Why do you need to ask more questions? It is naturally Yuan Shao. It is said that he is about to take over Youzhou. By then, he will be sitting in Qingyou and Jizhou, with tens of millions of people and more than [-] Jia."

"What's more, he is still the son of the Yuan family. He is a descendant of the Yuan family, and his disciples and old officials are all over the world. He may have the greatest chance of unifying the world. Even Zhang Xiu can hardly compare with him."

Zhou Yu drank his sorrows away with wine, and replied after a little thought.

"Yuan Shao?" Guo Jia chuckled, "I had the honor to worship him as a disciple, but this person is scheming, lenient at home and taboo at outside, has many etiquettes, listens to slander and confusion, and confuses right and wrong. Although his strength is strong, he can But it is difficult to rule the world.”

"It's hard for Yuan Shao to rule the world?"

Zhou Yu stopped drinking, showing a bit of surprise. In today's world, there are too many people who approve of Yuan Shao. As long as Yuan Shao arrives, he must be the first to respond.

But such a hero is so unbearable in Guo Jia's eyes?He couldn't help frowning: "You mean Zhang Xiu will beat Yuan Shao?"

"It's not difficult to win, but it's also not easy."

Guo Jia replied, "Originally, I thought that the only lord in the world today is the hero of the world, but I met Zhang Xiu."

"This person seems to be able to see through the future. Although he relies on only a few thousand remnants of soldiers, he is able to beat my master every time, and has repeatedly defeated my master."

"Moreover, this person took out countless strange things, such as foreign objects that can transmit sound for thousands of miles, or demon fire that can shake the world, etc. It is not easy."

Guo Jia was a little emotional. After speaking, he took another sip of the dirty wine, maybe he drank a little too quickly. He coughed twice, shook his head with a wry smile and said:

"Actually, sometimes I thought that Zhang Xiu is just a common man who was born in Xiliang. Although he has a reputation as a hero when he was young, he is definitely not a resourceful person."

"It is even said that when he was in Chang'an, he was also unknown, but after Zhang Ji's death, not only did he seem to have changed, but he became less aggressive and more calm. This is very puzzling."

Listening to Guo Jia's words, Zhou Yu was slightly stunned.

He had heard this before, but Guo Jia's analysis made him hesitate, he hesitated a little and said: "You mean that Zhang Xiu may have changed himself?"

Guo Jia shrugged, not knowing himself.

"If there is no such person, I am afraid that the only one who can confront Yuan Shao is my lord, but now, the situation of the world may depend on Zhang Xiu."

After finishing speaking, Guo Jia said with emotion, "Since Cao Cao was born, how could Zhang Xiu be born?"

He was really looking forward to what Zhang Xiu would do when he met Yuan Shaona, the fourth generation and third prince, even if he had no hesitation, but these famous families under his command, I'm afraid.
The two drank and sighed there,

Besides Zhou Yu, on the other side of the mountain, Sun Quan was arranged there, a few thatched huts, and some chickens, ducks and other poultry were raised in the outer fence.

Not far away, there is a pig pen, a sheep pen, and a cowshed where many pigs, cattle and sheep are raised, and they look like cubs, which makes Sun Quan a little confused.

"Okay, that's it." The team leader said something to Sun Quan, and immediately said: "Sun Quan, you have taken care of these chickens and ducks. If you don't want to starve, then feed them well."

"The lord has confessed, if you can't even raise these poultry and livestock, there is no need to stay in this world."

"Raise them?" Sun Quan was dumbfounded.

What the hell is this shit?He is the majestic Lord of Jiangdong, although he has only served for less than a month, but after all, he is considered independent, but Zhang Xiu actually insulted him so much?
Let him feed these vulgar things?
Damn it, he, Sun Zhongmou, would rather die than surrender, never bow to reality,

"If you raise them, you will have food to eat. Otherwise, if one of these poultry and livestock is missing, then you probably won't be able to live so peacefully."

The team leader finished speaking and left.

Half a day later, in the woods on the hillside.

Sun Quan had already changed his clothes. He was holding a whip, and looking at the herd of cattle and sheep, he pouted the corners of his mouth, showing a smile that was uglier than death.

Cough cough, in fact, herding cattle and sheep is very good, really good.

In Zhang Xiu's words, it's a pity to kill this group of people, it's better to be imprisoned directly, and you can keep something for yourself if you keep it.

Afterwards, Xun Yu, Xu You, Tian Feng, etc., Zhang Xiu, all the great sages who were unwilling to surrender, were taken into custody by Zhou Yu, named Juxian Pavilion.

And here, it is the Prison Dragon Pavilion that imprisoned Sun Quan.

At that time, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Quan, Yuan Shao, Liu Zhang, etc., including Liu Xie, can't run away, and they can even separate their concubines. At that time, cough cough
Of course, these are things to follow.

……

Jingzhou, Xiangyang.

In Xiangyang City, Zhang Xiu has returned in triumph.

After this period of development, Xiangyang City became more prosperous, especially because Jingzhou was properly controlled, and the number of thieves decreased, so that countless merchants came to trade.

Among them, many merchants from Yizhou came to buy cloth. The cloth in Jingzhou is really high quality and cheap. Although the Shu brocade is very good in workmanship and material, it is expensive.

But Jingzhou's cloth, no matter hemp or silk, is much lower than the market price.

Zhang Xiu bid farewell to Jia Xu and others, and he went straight back to Zhang's mansion. After leaving for several months, he felt very nostalgic.

Along the way, the streets are full of traffic, the flow of people is like weaving, and there is an endless stream of hawkers and merchants. Although it is midsummer, the enthusiasm of others does not diminish at all.

He even saw that the ice cubes he had developed before were being used to freeze various fruits and juices at this time, and he really had some business acumen.

In addition, there are several different fireworks in the city, which are restaurants, but the mode of eating has changed slightly.

And on the whole street, most of the people's clothes were replaced with new ones. Cloth was cheap now, and the people bought some, and Zhang Xiu also made them some money during this period.

"Boss, pack some of these fruits for me."

Zhang Xiu came to a small shop, looked at the middle-aged man and said gently.

The middle-aged man looked excited and looked at Zhang Xiu. It was this man. Although he had never seen him before, he made the people of Jingzhou live a more prosperous life.

"Okay, okay!" The middle-aged man recovered.

He used the small bamboo weaves next to him to put small fruits in it desperately, and specially brought two jars of his own fruit wine to Zhang Xiu, and handed them over with embarrassment.

"How much?" Zhang Xiu still spoke warmly.

"Duke Ming really ruined the grassroots. The family of the grassroots is able to have what it is today. It is all thanks to him. Let alone a few small fruits, even if Duke Ming wants the life of the grassroots, the grassroots will have no regrets."

The middle-aged man blushed and said.

"This can't be done. It's really because I am the lord of Jingzhou, so it can't be like this." Zhang Xiu waved his hands quickly, but he didn't manage Jingzhou very much.

"Ming Gong, you want the grass people to be spurned by thousands of people in Jingzhou, poke my spine, Ming Gong can eat a few small fruits from me, that is the blessing of the grass people's cultivation for hundreds of generations."

The middle-aged man cried out in pain.
