The Three Kingdoms become stronger when they get treasures

Chapter 28
Jiangdong currently does not have the strength to defend the territory that originally belonged to Jiangxia, because the Shanyue tribe has not yet been completely conquered, and they ran out from time to time to add chaos and restrained a large number of Sun Quan's troops.In the original work, from the time Sun Jian moved to fight in Jiangdong, to Sun Ce laying the foundation, to Sun Quan establishing the country and proclaiming himself emperor, until Sun Hao perished, Shanyue's rebellion never stopped.

Moreover, Shanyue occupies most of Soochow's territory, with a large number of people and a very wide distribution. Most of Soochow's cities are surrounded by Shanyue.

In order to pacify Shanyue, most of the generals of Soochow had the experience of leading the army to attack Shanyue. Lu Xun only came to prominence when he pacified Shanyue, was appreciated by Sun Quan, and was reused.

Although a lot of energy was restrained, it also brought rich harvests to Soochow. It not only trained generals, trained a group of elite soldiers, but also increased the population of Soochow.In the later period of Wu State, more than half of the soldiers were Shanyue people.

Therefore, it is impossible for the current Sun Quan to send a large army to attack Jiangxia, unless he does not care about his rear. With Jiangxia's current army, it is no problem to defend.

Therefore, after Zhang Wu returned to Jiangxia City, he arranged for Gan Ning to guard the water and land, and Chen Sun to guard the city. He rode a Lu horse to go to Xiangyang to report his meritorious service to Liu Biao.This is the first time in so many years that Jiangdong has won a big victory. No matter how you say it, you should give some rewards. If you really don't have one, you have to go to Xiangyang to brush up your reputation and prepare for moving to Xiangyang in the future.

Before leaving, Zhang Wu asked Ni Heng something, asking him if he knew Liu Qi, Liu Biao's eldest son, and if he had any friends who could talk to Liu Qi.

You Heng thought for a while and said, "I'm not very familiar with the eldest son. When I was under Liu Biao's tent, I didn't have much contact with him. However, I have a good friend named Zhao Jian, who used to be a minister, Li Jue, Guo Sizhi, etc. When he took refuge in Jingzhou during the chaos, Liu Biao respected him very much, and the eldest son also respected him very much, and often came to ask for advice."

"Oh? There are such people in Jingzhou, why haven't I heard of them?"

Mi Heng briefly explained Zhao Jian's situation.It turned out that Zhao Jian used to be Situ Wang Yun's subordinate. During Dong Zhuo's time, he served as a minister and was in charge of the court's selection and appointment of talents. Impressed.

Later, in the great chaos in Chang'an, Situ Wang Yunzhu killed Dong Zhuo, but he was killed by Li Jue and Guo Si who came to avenge him later. All officials and common people dared not collect Wang Yun's body. Only Zhao Jian gave up his official position in Pingling Ling. , Go to Chang'an to gather and mourn for Wang Yun.Later, Li Jue and Guo Si fought endlessly, and Zhao Jian went south to Jingzhou.

In the official history, after Cao Cao pacified Jingzhou, he conquered Zhao Jian. He had a very high evaluation of Zhao Jian. He once held Zhao Jian's hand and said, "It's too late to meet each other." source.

What a talent!He is talented, able to adhere to principles, and is very loyal. Zhang Wu is lacking this kind of talent now, so he couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Zhengping, can you invite Zhao Shangshu to work in Jiangxia?"

You Heng squinted at Zhang Wu, with a sneer on his face, and said, "He doesn't even want to be a minister, so he cares about your Jiangxia official? Give him your partial general?"

Damn, I can bear it, one day I will sew your mouth shut!

Zhang Wu could only say embarrassingly: "Pretend I didn't say it, pretend I didn't say it! So is Mr. Zhengping's relationship with this Zhao Shangshu firm?"

"I don't have any of your friends who are not iron!" Mi Heng said proudly.

Iron is good, rely on parents at home, rely on friends when going out, I believe you.

"Can you please write a letter to Zhao Shang, asking him to persuade the eldest son to come to our Jiangxia County as the prefect?" Zhang Wu said his purpose.

"Let the eldest son come to Jiangxia as the prefect? ​​What's your idea?" After getting along for so long, you Heng also understood that Zhang Wu was a rough warrior on the surface, but in fact he was full of plans, and some things were even far-reaching. Wonderful.

"I heard that the eldest son is having a hard time in Xiangyang. Coming to Jiangxia can avoid disaster. Although Liu Jingzhou has no great talents, he has allowed the people of Jingzhou to live a stable life for more than ten years. The people of Jingzhou are still grateful to the Liu family and his son. Yes. If Liu Jingzhou dies, it will be easier to take Jingzhou in the name of the eldest son!"

"Hahahaha..., my lord is really good at calculating. Cao Cao 'coerced the emperor to order the princes', and the lord wanted to 'coerce the eldest son to order Jingzhou'. There is a difference between the two approaches and the same results!"

It's a joy to talk to a wise man.

"Those who know me, sir! Please, sir, help me write a letter of victory and present it to Liu Jingzhou."

"No problem, get your pen and ink!"

With a flick of a pen, Mi Heng wrote a private letter and an official document in one go without adding any points to the text.

So Zhang Wu rode Lu Ma and took a few guards to Xiangyang.

Zhang Wu had also occupied Xiangyang City for a period of time, so he felt familiar with this place, so he went straight to the Prefectural Mufu to ask for an audience with Liu Biao.

Liu Biao ordered Zhang Wu to be passed on.

"The subordinate general Zhang Wu pays homage to Master Zhou Mu." Zhang Wu saluted.

"Excuse me, General Zhang is here again, why?" Liu Biao's voice was old.

Zhang Wu knew that Liu Biao was not going to live long. According to the original book, he died seven years later. Now he doesn't know if there will be any changes.

"Not long ago, the lower official took advantage of the emptiness of Jiangdong's defense and took the initiative to lead the army to attack. He regained the Shaxian and other places occupied by Jiangdong, defeated his Lingtong, and captured Jiangdong's general Han Dang alive. He came here to report the victory to Master Zhou. Please have a look at the document, Master Zhou." After speaking, Zhang Wu took out the document written by Ni Heng from his pocket and handed it to the people around Liu Biao.

After taking the document, Liu Biao did not open it and read it, but said: "I have heard about this. General Zhang defeated the Jiangdong Army, captured Jiangdong General alive, and regained the lost territory. There will be rewards of his own. But why didn't Han Dang escort him to Xiangyang?"

"Lord Zhou Mu, I will interrogate Jiangdong's military situation. After getting the information, I will escort him to Xiangyang and let Lord Zhou Mu deal with it."

Zhang Wucai would not send Han Dang to Liu Biao.

Sun Quan ignored Liu Biao's request and killed Liu Biao's confidant general Huang Zu. It is hard to say whether Liu Biao would kill Han Dang to vent his anger.If Han Dangruo died, Sun Quan would also attack Jiang Xia desperately to appease people's hearts. Liu Biao is happy, but Zhang Wu will bear the consequences. He is not a fool.

Zhang Wu came to report his victory and actually had another purpose, which was to test whether Liu Feng valued him and whether he trusted him.

If Liu Biao trusts and values ​​Zhang Wu, he will take advantage of this military achievement and appoint Zhang Wu as the governor of Jiangxia. Zhang Wu will try his best to help him guard Jiangxia for two years. Even if he wants to take Jingzhou, he will wait until Liu Biao's death before taking action.

But if Liu Biao still doesn't trust him and is wary of him, then don't blame me for being ruthless, Zhang Wu will make plans early.

Sure enough, after that, Liu Biao never mentioned the matter of appointing Zhang Wu as the prefect of Jiangxia. He only rewarded some property and asked Zhang Wu if he would like to come to Xiangyang to serve as Sima of Zhennan General's Mansion.
