The Three Kingdoms become stronger when they get treasures

Chapter 196 Zhang Wu Has a Son
The problems facing Jiangdong were similar to those of Jingzhou. With Jingzhou, the great enemy, on the side, Sun Quan could not fully expand his strength northward.Just like this battle of Hefei, Zhou Yu would not have left Hefei to support Chaisang if Zhang Wu hadn't made trouble behind his back. If Zhou Yu hadn't left, Hefei might not have been lost.

So after the Battle of Hefei, the first person Sun Quan hated was not Cao Cao, but Zhang Wu.Now Sun Quan has also made up his mind to eliminate Zhang Wu first after regaining his strength.

Zhang Wu also started to make preparations as early as after he took control of Jingzhou, such as developing new warships; when resisting the joint attack of Cao Cao and Sun Quan, he began to make arrangements, such as releasing chained ships.

Now it depends on who will jump into this pit first, Cao Cao or Sun Quan. If Zhang Wu is asked to choose one, he hopes it will be Sun Quan.

After this tripartite war, whether it was Cao Cao, Sun Quan, or Zhang Wu, they all stopped and focused on dealing with the funeral and restoring their strength.

Fighting a war is not only about killing many soldiers, but also spending a lot of money and food. From this point of view, there is no winner for the three parties.Although Cao Cao reoccupied most of Nanyang County, [-] to [-] soldiers died, and countless food and grass were consumed. In the end, Sun Quan destroyed it in Huainan.

At first, Sun Quan wanted to unite with Cao Cao to carve up Jiangxia and Nanjun. As a result, more than 2 soldiers were killed and injured and did not break through the blockade of Jiangxia's navy. Later, he took the opportunity to attack Hefei, gaining first and then losing.Then he was attacked by Xia Houyuan's thousand cavalry and suffered heavy losses. Even the veteran Huang Gai was killed in battle, and finally withdrew back to Jiangdong in despair.

Although Jingzhou achieved the expected results on both battlefields, it also lost more than 2 soldiers and cost a lot of money and food.But Zhang Wu felt that overcoming this difficulty was a victory, and neither Cao Cao nor Sun Quan would be able to attack Jingzhou again for at least two years.

Fortunately, the weather in Jingzhou has been good in the past two years, and the grain harvest has been bumper every year. The people in Jingzhou are very happy.The people were happy, and Zhang Wu was also very happy. It didn't matter if he was a little tired, because the rain in many places was actually summoned by Zhang Wu using the skill of "calling the wind and calling the rain".

But Zhang Wu's skill can only summon the rain, but cannot stop the rain from God himself, so what should I do if there is heavy rain in some places and floods will occur?Just dig a canal. Anyway, Jingzhou has a well-developed water system, and it drains into the river and the big river. Anyway, it all flows to the east of the river.

In the autumn of the ninth year of Jian'an, Zhang Wu's wife, Ma Shi, gave birth to a son. Zhang Wu was overjoyed and held a grand banquet in the Governor's Mansion. Major officials from all over the country came to congratulate him. Gan Ning also came from Jiangxia.

Zhang Wu has been a man for two lifetimes, and finally became a father. His feelings are indescribable.

"Brother, congratulations! Hahahaha, let me see my little nephew!" Chen Sun happily congratulated Zhang Wu.

"Congratulations, brother! Let me see my nephew too, hahahaha!" Gan Ning also happily congratulated Zhang Wu.

Both of them got married and had children, and they both had several children. They used to worry about Zhang Wu's childbirth. Now that the eldest brother finally has a child, the two of them finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Not only Chen Sun and Gan Ning, military generals like Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Ding Feng, but also civil servants like Mi Heng, Hua Tuo, and Ma Liang were all happy that Zhang Wu finally had an heir, and they all let go of a worry in their hearts .

It is very important for the leader of a power group to be excellent, but it is also important to have a legal heir.Since ancient times, there are countless examples that prove that a power group developed very smoothly during its entrepreneurial period and achieved certain achievements, but it was because there was no suitable heir or the heirs fought with each other, which eventually led to the disintegration of the power group.

Leaving aside, let’s talk about the Yuan Shao Group. If after Yuan Shao’s death, the Yuan Group has a successor that everyone believes in and can work together to resist Cao Cao, even if it can’t turn defeat into victory, at least it won’t perish so soon.After Yuan Shao's death, the strength of Yuan's group is still very strong.

Although Zhang Wu only has one son now, and he doesn't know whether this son will be a qualified heir in the future, it is better than nothing!Besides, with the lord's wisdom, the power of his mother's Ma family, and the teachings of so many top talents such as Mi Heng, Pang Tong, Xu Shu, etc., how could the eldest son of the lord be any worse?

Besides, with the first one, there will be a second one, and there will always be a suitable one if you have more.

Therefore, now the cohesion of Zhang Wu Group is stronger, and Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Ding Feng and others are also happy to congratulate Zhang Wu from the bottom of their hearts.

Zhang Wu also responded one by one with a smile on his face. He said to Huang Zhong: "Han Sheng, I heard that a concubine in your house is also pregnant. I also congratulate General Han Sheng, the hero has a son!"

A flower appeared on Huang Zhong's face, as if he was ten years younger. He stroked his beard and said, "Huang is able to have today, thanks to the Lord. I was already disheartened. Huang is an old man, trusting and reusing Huang not only makes his loyalty famous in the world, but also makes my Huang family continue to live forever. Huang is willing to go through fire and water for his lord in this life!"

Wei Yan and Ding Feng also felt the same way. If Zhang Wu hadn't appreciated and reused them, they wouldn't have known where they were now, and they didn't know when they would be able to stand out. So they also said in unison:

"The final general will be trusted and reused by the lord, and I am willing to go through fire and water for the lord for generations!"

Zhang Wu was also quite touched, how you treat others, others will treat you in the same way.Zhang Wu treats his own people with "respect" and "trust", and what they return to Zhang Wu is "loyalty" and "fate".

"Okay, brothers, since we are together, we will have the same blessings and share the same hardships. I, Zhang Wu, only treat people with the word 'sincerity', and I will never treat those who have made merit. Come, go in and drink!"

Liu Bei brought Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others to celebrate Zhang Wu. Seeing this situation, he not only admired Zhang Wu's sincerity and trust in treating his subordinates, but also lamented the loyalty and service of Huang Zhong and others.

Zhuge Liang was also quite emotional, such a way of employing people, no wonder Zhang Wu was able to achieve such an achievement in just a few years, and a large number of top civil and military talents were gathered under his command. Call it a "hero".

Zhang Wu named his son Zhang Ming.

Mi Heng praised: "The word 'Ming' is well obtained! The sun and the moon shine together, which is called Ming. "Book of Changes" says: The sun and the moon push each other, and the Ming is born. .Where Ming is the best, it is called Mingming. "Book of Rites·University Chapter" says: The way of learning lies in Ming Mingde."

Zhang Wu doesn't understand these things, he just thinks Zhang Ming is quite easy to pronounce, after Mi Heng's explanation, it turns out that this name has so many meanings, which is very good!
