The beginning of the Three Kingdoms Cheng Yuanzhi

Chapter 221
After Sun Quan fled south, Cheng Yuanzhi led his army across the Yangtze River smoothly, stationed in Wanling (later Xuancheng), dispatched soldiers and horses to take over cities in various places, and in the name of Emperor Liu Xie, issued a list to calm the people.


Wanling City Guard Mansion, Chamber of Commerce.

There was a lot of voices, and many generals of the Northern Army and generals from Jiangdong gathered together.

Cheng Yuanzhi looked around, and said kindly: "It's all thanks to the ability of the princes to be able to sit in the east of the river. I will act as a representative to the imperial court, and please seal and reward you!"

Everyone cupped their hands in unison and said, "Thank you, Prime Minister!"

There were too many people, the sound echoed in the room, shaking off some dust on the beams.

Cheng Yuanzhi waved his hand lightly to part the dust, and said with a slight smile, "Everyone, now Sun Quan is leading [-] remnant troops to flee south to Jiaozhou, what should we do?"

After all, he looked at Guo Jia, the number one think tank.

After Guo Jia arrived in the south of the Yangtze River, he seemed to be acclimated to the climate, his complexion was very poor, he often coughed, and he looked like he was about to die.

Cheng Yuanzhi was very worried about this, but he had no good solution.

Before, he had invited many famous doctors to treat Guo Jia, but limited by the times and medical technology, there was not much improvement.

Guo Jia pondered for a moment, and said: "Cutting the grass does not remove the roots, and the spring breeze blows and it will regenerate."

Cheng Yuanzhi shook his head: "People's hearts are not enough, since I have Jiangdong, how dare I look back at Jiaozhou?"

"Sun Quan is not an incompetent lord, nor are Zhou Yu and Lu Su incompetent. The reason why our army is invincible and invincible is all because of the right time, place and harmony. Furthermore, Jiaozhou is remote, and it is useless for this poor bandit to pursue ah."

After all, he said to Guo Jia earnestly and earnestly: "When the soldiers arrived here, there are many people who are not acclimatized. Besides, our army and Jiangdong soldiers have fought dozens of times here, and the corpses are scattered all over the place. There are still many things that need to be dealt with. The most urgent thing is to deal with it. Stay safe."

Suddenly, Guo Jia counted his fingers. After a while, he cupped his hands and said, "My lord, Jia is short-sighted."

Cheng Yuanzhi waved his hand and said, "Feng Xiao is too modest. The reason why our army was able to successfully cross the river is due to Feng Xiao's strategic planning. At this time, the overall situation has been decided. You should go back to Xudu immediately to recuperate."

Guo Jia smiled and said: "Thank you for your concern, my lord. Jia will just obey your orders."

The two people in the hall are deeply in love with each other, and the practice of ignoring everyone in the hall made the scene a little silent for a while.

Sugai came over with his ear and whispered: "Commander, pay attention to the influence, there are still many people here."

who?

Cheng Yuanzhi looked up and was startled.

Good guy, there are hundreds of civil and military people in the hall, all with wide eyes, looking over with relish.

Although in this day and age, the union of a man and a woman is only for carrying on the family line, and true love is true love between a man and a man, but such hot scenes between monarchs and ministers are rare.

They have a lot of talking points at once, so why don't you look carefully.

Seeing this, Guo Jia looked embarrassed and hurriedly left.

Cheng Yuanzhi seemed like a normal person, and said with a smile: "How to govern Jiangdong, I need to listen to your opinions."

Everyone clasped their fists together and said: "We will follow the prime minister's arrangement, and ask the prime minister to make it clear."

Cheng Yuanzhi waved his hands and said: "No, no, everyone, please speak freely. As the saying goes: 'Three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang'. There are three hundred people in the hall. This matter should be discussed and discussed."

Among the advisers who went out with the army, Yang Xiu and Ju Shou had the highest positions, they were startled when they heard the words, the former asked: "Prime Minister, who is this Zhuge Liang?"

At this time Zhuge Liang was still high in Wolongzhong, studying and farming with peace of mind. He was not known to the world, and Yang Xiu naturally didn't know either.

Cheng Yuanzhi patted his forehead, and explained: "Zhuge Liang is a high-ranking scholar in Longzhong, and he is listed as a crouching dragon and phoenix chick alongside Pang Tong of Xiangyang. He is a crouching dragon, and his intelligence is unparalleled. Therefore, there is a saying among the people."

Hearing this, Yang Xiu curled his lips, disapproving.

After seeing Guo Jia's unconstrained strategy, he didn't feel that anyone in the world would dare to pretend to be Crouching Dragon in front of Guo Jia.

This person must be Yelang's arrogant generation, so he said: "How is his intelligence compared to Guo Junshi?"

Cheng Yuanzhi thought for a while and said objectively: "The military strategy may be slightly inferior, but it may be better in other aspects."

so smart? ! !

Everyone was astonished to hear that Cheng Yuanzhi, who is now so powerful in the world, praised a mountain villager so much.

This has touched the blind spot of their knowledge.

Zhuge Liang, they really don't know each other.

After a while, Ju Shou came out and said: "I have never heard of Zhuge Liang. If he has such abilities, why don't my lord send an imperial decree to Nanyang and call him to serve the court!"

Cheng Yuanzhi shook his head and smiled wryly: "It's not that I don't want to, but I can't. It's hard to invite such a great sage."

Please, just ask Liu Bei how he feels at this time.

Besides, Zhuge Liang lives under Liu Biao's nose, how can he invite him?
If I went to Longzhong in person, would Liu Biao send troops to kill me?

Most likely it will!

Ju Shou was stunned: "Is this person really so amazing?"

Cheng Yuanzhi nodded: "This is not a lie."

Cheng Yu came out and said, "Prime Minister, why don't you ask the imperial decree to go to Longzhong for a try? Anyway, if you are idle, you are idle."

Yes, no one stipulates that Zhuge Liang must defect to Liu Bei, why can't I give it a try?

Cheng Yuanzhi's heart skipped a beat.

In the original time and space, Zhuge Liang defected to Liu Bei because he had no choice. He looked down on Liu Biao, and Cao Cao didn't know there was someone like him...

Thinking of this, Cheng Yuanzhi smiled and said: "Good plan! Zhongde, you go back to Xudu immediately, please draw up an imperial decree, go to Longzhong in person, and invite Zhuge Liang to come to Xudu as an official."

Cheng Yu cupped his hands and said, "The Prime Minister is also asked to write this attached letter."

The imperial decree is an imperial decree, and an accompanying letter still needs to be written.

The imperial decree represents the attitude of the emperor Liu Xie, and this letter represents the attitude of the ruler Cheng Yuanzhi.

I can't handle my ancient prose. Cheng Yuanzhi pondered for a while, and ordered: "Well, let me tell you to write it. If there is any inconsistency in the wording, you can help me correct it."

Cheng Yu quickly responded: "Yu Ding will write according to what the Prime Minister said, and I guarantee that the words will be correct."

Cheng Yuanzhi lowered his head slightly, and said in a deep voice: "I have admired the high name for a long time, and I almost want to ask Mr. to come out of the mountain to help me calm down the world and reappear the state of the past. I sent people to Longzhong to look for it twice before, but they never came back. Full of melancholy!"

"I am secretly thinking that the Han Dynasty will be peaceful, and there is a shortage of capable ministers in governing the world. Today, I look up to Mr. Lu Wang for his kindness and loyalty, to show Lu Wang's great talent, and to give to his wife's ambitions. If you can see the letter and promise, the world will be very lucky! The society is very lucky! , I will lead civil and military troops out of Guo Baili to meet him, first come to Buda, and wait for the master to come to order."

Originally, there was a section of "Liu Bei in Xinye, he didn't want to serve the court, but fled from Xinye, and wanted to do something against the sky, I hope you will carefully observe it", Cheng Yuanzhi thought again and again, and still concealed this section. "

Cheng Yuanzhi had just finished speaking, and Cheng Yu had already finished writing. After writing, he read it carefully from beginning to end, shook his head and recited it softly, and then sighed: "Good article, I only know today, and the prime minister's literary talent is also extraordinary." .”

This flattery was a bit loud, Cheng Yuanzhi blushed when he heard this, he quickly waved his hands and said, "It's over, it's over."

This letter is originally the letter left by Liu Bei when he asked Zhuge Liang for the second time, and it was slightly modified.If Cheng Yuanzhi wrote it himself, it must be: "More money, less work, close to home, high salary to catch fish, Zhuge Da come quickly!"

Cheng Yu didn't feel embarrassed at all, and still praised: "This is what Yu said from the bottom of his heart."

After finishing speaking, he dried the handwritten ink, folded it and put it in his sleeve, cupped his hands and said, "Na Yu is going now!"

Cheng Yuanzhi got up and sent him to the bank of the river, Yin Yin gave a few instructions, and watched Cheng Yu cross the river.

On the way back to Ma Wanling, I suddenly realized that I had forgotten to discuss the matter!
How to govern the Jiangdong family is imminent.
