The Three Kingdoms become stronger when they get treasures

Chapter 342

In the winter of the 14th year of Jian'an, Jingzhou Mu Zhangwu attacked Jiangdong, and Sun Quan and his son were killed by Huang She.In order to stabilize the situation in Jiangdong, Zhang Wu married Sun Shangxiang, the younger sister of Sun Quan, as his concubine, made Sun Ce's son Sun Shao inherit the title of Marquis of Wu, made him a rebellious general, and recruited Jiangdong generals in the name of Sun Shao.

Afterwards, Zhang Wu was named General of Chariots and Riders by the emperor, opened the mansion, and had a holiday.Zhang Wu then enfeoffed all the ministers and ordered the generals to divide their troops and garrison various places.

At the end of the year, Zhang Wu led his army back to Xiangyang to expand the Cheqi General's Mansion. His wife, Mrs. Ma, lived in the center, two Mrs. Liu lived in the west courtyard, and Mrs. Sun lived in the east courtyard.

Da Qiao's mother and son and Mr. Qiao were arranged in another yard by Zhang Wu.

As the saying goes, a little farewell is better than a newlywed.Zhang Wu has been fighting abroad for a long time, and he has only stayed at home for a few days in the past six months. Now it is the end of the year and winter, and he is unwilling to fight again. Therefore, Zhang Wu spent time with his wife and children after returning home.

As the main wife, Ma Wei was naturally favored the most, and she jokingly said to Zhang Wu: "Congratulations to your husband for marrying another wife, it's a pity that I didn't drink the wedding wine!"

Zhang Wu hugged Ma Wei in his arms, stroking her plump body while smiling and said, "Haha, Madam is jealous? Let's hold a family banquet tonight and ask Shang Xiang to toast you!"

Ma Wei said coquettishly: "I am not jealous! I heard that there are so many beauties in Jiangdong, but my husband only brought back one when he conquered Jiangdong. Isn't it a bit rare!"

Zhang Wu laughed again, and said, "A lot, a lot! Your husband is not a person who is greedy for beauty, and everything is for our family. I can't help myself, haha!"

After finishing speaking, Zhang Wu picked up Ma Wei and walked into the bedroom.

After comforting the main wife, the other concubines and concubines could not be left out. Fortunately, the number is not too many, and Zhang Wu's body can still complete the task.

After watering and fertilizing the house flowers, Zhang Wu certainly didn't forget the wild flowers growing outside.

Ever since Xiao Qiao was taken over by Zhang Wu, she has always been somewhat self-blame and ashamed, but also has some inexplicable expectations.

Now her father and sister have also come to Xiangyang, and they finally met their relatives. Xiao Qiao hasn't explained how she came to Xiangyang, but her father Qiaogong is very happy to point out the relationship between her and Zhang Wu.

Xiao Qiao felt ashamed, but Mr. Qiao felt that this was a great happy event, and advised Xiao Qiao to cherish this opportunity. The future of the Qiao family rested entirely on her.

It's no wonder Mr. Qiao is so excited. He thought that his two daughters married the two most powerful people in Jiangdong. In the future, he and the Qiao family must be prosperous. Compared, but certainly not too bad.

But unexpectedly, the short-lived Sun Ce died only a few months after marrying Da Qiao!

Aren't you cheating!
What's even more deceitful is that Sun Ce didn't let his son succeed him!

This made Da Qiao and Qiao's family miserable.

Da Qiao is still a widow at a young age. Not only did she not have any children, but she also had to raise the three children left by her ex-husband!

Although the Qiao family has a high status on the surface, they have no real power at all. If the Qiao family's children can become county magistrates, they have to find other connections.

But due to the willingness of her status, Da Qiao can't remarry yet.

Later, the same bad luck befell Xiao Qiao again, who was also widowed at a young age.

Unexpectedly, now that Sun Quan is destroyed by Zhang Wu, his Qiao family has ushered in a turning point. The new overlord of the south of the Yangtze River has actually taken a fancy to Duke Qiao's youngest daughter. This is really a great thing!
If Duke Qiao knew that Zhang Wu not only took a fancy to and occupied his youngest daughter, but also wanted to occupy his eldest daughter, I don't know what Qiao Gong would think.

Do you scold Zhang Wu for being greedy, or are you happier?
Da Qiao looked at his father's excited look and his younger sister's flushed cheeks, recalling the scene that happened in Wu Hou's mansion, he was a little scared, and also had some inexplicable feelings, not knowing when that kind of encounter would happen to him.

Therefore, when Zhang Wu took the time to comfort Xiao Qiao, he found that Xiao Qiao was less resistant and more active. He was overjoyed and used all his abilities to love Xiao Qiao.

After learning about the Qiao family's thoughts, Zhang Wu paid a special visit to Qiao Gong again, and asked Qiao Gong to recommend some of the Qiao family's children. He would take special care of them and arrange them to be civil servants or generals.

Of course, the children of the Qiao family who want to become an official must have some real skills. After all, there is still an assessment.

The Qiao family has developed in Jiangdong for so many years, and there are still some children who can show their talents. Moreover, when Mr. Qiao served Yuan Shu, he was not a small official. The Qiao family is more or less a big family.

Zhang Wu also told Mr. Qiao that if he wanted to be a civil servant, he had better start at the grassroots level. After gaining grassroots work experience and taking care of him, it would not be difficult to become a prefect in the future.

If you want to follow the path of military commander, you'd better go to Gan Ning's subordinates and become a low-level navy officer, because Gan Ning will lead the army to go out soon, and he will have military merits, so he can be promoted.

Qiao Gong was so happy beyond words that he almost knelt down to thank Zhang Wu for his kindness, but Zhang Wu quickly helped him up.

Zhang Wu said: "Mr. Qiao, don't be like this. Although the matter between me and Xiao Qiao cannot be made public for the time being, but speaking of it, Mr. Qiao is also my father-in-law. To provide some convenience for the Qiao family is what I should do!"

Anyway, whoever is used is not used, and who is promoted is not promoted?Since he slept with the woman from the Qiao family, he must give the Qiao family some benefits. On this point, Zhang Wu has always been very generous, and the brothers of the Ma family are all in high positions.

After Jiangdong is pacified, the most important thing is to digest the territory and expand its strength.

According to the spy report, Cao Cao had already started to mobilize grain and grass and store it in Chang'an for the conquest of Hanzhong.

Although the area of ​​Hanzhong is not very large, its location is very important.

Huang Quan, a native of Shu, once said: "If Hanzhong is lost, Sanba will be weak. This is to cut off the arm of Shu." That is to say, if Hanzhong is lost, then the Bajun, Badong and Brazilian counties in Yizhou will be destroyed at any time. Facing the enemy's attack, if the enemy breaks into the land of Sanba, they can attack Shu at any time.

Yang Hong also said: "Hanzhong is the throat of Yizhou, the chance of survival, if there is no Hanzhong, there will be no Shu."

Therefore, Hanzhong is the gateway of Yizhou and the throat of Yizhou's connection with the outside world.

Hanzhong is located between the Daba Mountains and the Qinling Mountains, bordering Guanzhong in the north and Bashu in the south.There is the Han River flowing through it, and it is long from east to west. It can lead to Longyou in the west and Nanyang Basin in the east. From Nanyang Basin, you can enter the Central Plains in the north and Jingxiang in the south.

Everyone knows that the road to Shu is difficult, and it is difficult to go to the blue sky. It is very difficult for a single person to walk, but it is even more difficult for an army to move.But if Hanzhong is held by Cao Cao, then it can be used as a base for attacking Shu, and you can enter Shu from Jinniu Road or Micang Road.

However, due to various reasons, Cao Cao has not freed up his hands to attack Hanzhong until now, leaving Zhang Lu at ease in Hanzhong for so many years.
