After several moves were blocked by Zhao Yun with the scabbard, Sun Shangxiang mistakenly thought that Zhao Yun was belittling her, so she said coquettishly, "Zhao Zilong, how dare you despise me? I order you to draw your sword."

Xu Shu, Jian Yong, and Liu Bei walked aside, and they were startled when they heard Sun Shangxiang yelling, then Xu Shu said with a smile: "Mrs. Sun's temper is like a fire, and it's my lord who can hold it..."

Zhao Yun neither drew his sword nor answered, Sun Shangxiang was so angry that he jumped up and down, she jumped aside and acted like a baby to Liu Bei: "Xuande...look at him..."

"Zilong, just draw your sword..." Liu Bei smiled, then turned to ask Xu Shu, "Yuan Zhi hasn't come for a long time, what's the matter today?"

Xu Shuxin said that it's because I haven't come for a long time, it's obvious that you are obsessed with the land of gentleness, and you have long forgotten that there are tens of thousands of soldiers in Jingzhou.

"Kongming sent a letter. Liu Qi died of illness in Jiangling a few days ago. Please return to Jingzhou to discuss important matters..."

Before Xu Shu finished speaking, everyone heard the crisp sound of weapons colliding, and Sun Shangxiang's saber was cut into two pieces by Qing Zhijian instantly.

Chapter 149 The Confident Sun Quan

"Zhao Zilong, you won, what kind of broken sword is this..." Sun Shangxiang threw the broken sword on the ground, and walked towards Liu Bei angrily.

"I will be convicted at the end..." Zhao Yun cupped his fists in apology.

Liu Bei heard the important point and knew that Sun Shangxiang had to be kept a secret about Jingzhou, so he handed over his double swords, "Zilong is a famous sword, Qingzhi, which can cut iron like mud. Madam, use my pair of swords to try." try."

The double-strand sword was much heavier than Sun Shangxiang's original saber, because she didn't use it well, so she gave it back to Liu Bei after dancing twice, "What did Master Xu and my husband just say? Why does it seem like there is something important?"

"Really? It's nothing serious..." Liu Bei forgot to catch the sword while controlling his expression.

Xu Shu quickly took it for him, and then played a simple set of swordsmanship in his hands, which directly stunned Sun Shangxiang.

Isn't this Xu Yuanzhi a civil servant?Why do you feel that your swordsmanship is stronger than your own, and who are your husband's followers?

"My lord's sword is also good." Xu Shu finished the rescue for Liu Bei, and handed back the double-strand sword.

"Husband, Master Xu also knows swordsmanship?" Sun Shangxiang was in disbelief.

Liu Bei laughed and said, "Yuan Zhi was a knight-errant when he was young, and his sword skills are not low."

"My husband's tent is full of talented people... Master Xu, what were you talking about just now?" After Sun Shangxiang sighed, he changed the subject again.

Xu Shu nodded, "I said that my brother, General Sun, sits in Jiangdong. This general who seeks captives and the prefect of Kuaiji does not match his status. My lord is now Jiangdong's son-in-law. He should be promoted to the court for General Sun."

"Xuande, is that so?" Sun Shangxiang was still puzzled.

Liu Bei looked serious, "Yuan Zhi's words are very kind, I want to show that Zuo Zhongmou is a chariot general and Xuzhou shepherd..."

Sun Shangxiang smiled happily when she heard it, she took Liu Bei's hand and said, "Since my husband has such a heart, let's go see brother right now."

"Madam, go and change clothes first, and I will come after a few chats with Yuanzhi and Xianhe."

"okay……"

After Sun Shangxiang left, Liu Bei hurriedly asked, "Yuanzhi, Xianhe, tell us about the Jingzhou incident in detail."

Xu Shu raised his head and gave Zhao Yun a wink. Although Zhao Yun sometimes lacked emotional intelligence, he knew that Xu Shu was letting him watch the wind, so he walked quickly to the path outside the garden.

"Jingzhou earthquake on the [-]th of October, many houses near Jiangling collapsed, the eldest son Liu Qi was sick in bed, he was frightened to death by the earthquake..." Xu Shu said softly.

Liu Bei shook his head and sighed after hearing this, "It's really embarrassing..."

"Liu Qi died of illness suddenly, my lord should hurry back to Jingzhou as soon as possible, don't covet the gentleness of this place..." When Xu Shu was speaking, Jian Yong yanked at the skirt of his clothes, thinking that it was only a few days since Zilong was reprimanded.

Liu Bei smiled mysteriously, and then explained in a low voice: "Kong Ming told me to hide my clumsiness as much as possible in Jiangdong. This time, when I came to Wu County to marry my wife, Zhou Gongjin proposed to put Sun Quan under house arrest. If I don't indulge myself like this, how can Sun Zhongmou look down on me? "

"My lord, you and Zilong are in..." Jian Yong was very surprised.

Liu Bei stroked his beard and said: "This is a trick to pretend to be insane, and it was obtained by Kong Ming from the lecture hall."

"Kong Ming is really cunning. He was already very intelligent, but he actually went to steal his teacher..." Xu Shu deliberately joked.

"Hahaha, what's the situation in Jingzhou now?" Liu Bei asked with a smile.

"In Jiangling, there are Pang Shiyuan and Huang Hansheng to stabilize the situation, and there is Lan Ziyu outside to help in the name of funerals and disaster relief. We will wait for the master to go back and take control of the universe." Xu Shu said with enthusiasm.

"Then how do we get out?" Liu Bei asked again.

"Showing that Sun Quan is a chariot general and Xuzhou shepherd, the other party must be happy, and the lord will use the excuse to go back to Jingzhou for the funeral. It will be a matter of course." Xu Shu nodded and said.

Then, as Xu Shu expected, Sun Quan was overjoyed and hosted a banquet in honor of Liu Bei.

At the banquet, Liu Bei mentioned that Liu Qi died of illness, and he wanted to go to Jingzhou for the funeral. The Jiangdong officials all saw that it was profitable.

"Since Liu Qi is dead, Jingzhou is a land without an owner. Xuande is my Jiangdong son-in-law. I am willing to share Jingzhou with you." Sun Quan proposed to Liu Bei with a smile.

"I don't know how to divide Zhongmou?" Liu Bei frowned.

"Xinye County is not small enough to check and balance Xiangyang. It is better to let Gongjin go to take Jiangling, and Xuande goes to take the four counties in southern Jing. I will play Xuande as the shepherd of Jingzhou."

Jiangling, an important town along the Yangtze River, is also the center of Jingzhou where Lu Su divided the world into two parts. Unfortunately, it was taken away by Liu Qi last time. This time, Sun Quan wanted to seize the opportunity.

"My lord, no, Jiangdong contributed the most in the Red Cliff War. Although Liu Shijun gave up Xinye, but now Xu Qi has four Jingnan counties, I Jiangdong only exchanged one southern county. It is really difficult to convince the officials..." Panyang prefect stepped The stallion went out of class to persuade him.

After hearing this, Sun Quan's expression was solemn, and he said seriously: "Your gentleman, I have already opened my mouth just now, how can I change it at will?"

Bu Zhi cupped his hands and said: "Jiaozhou Lai Gong and Wu Ju have a bad relationship. Since Yangzhou borders Jiaozhou, why don't you go to the emperor to mediate on your behalf? But I heard that Xuande Gong and Wu Ju have an old relationship..."

Liu Bei could see now that the Jiangdong officials probably knew that Liu Qi died of illness, and Sun Quan and Bu Zhi sang together for the purpose of plotting against Nanjun and Jiaozhou. Fortunately, Lan Ziyu arranged everything first.

"The eldest son's bones are not yet cold, and Bei is in disarray now, why not go to the funeral first?" Liu Bei suggested.

Sun Quan saw that Liu Bei seemed to be angry, and felt that it was too early to say these words. Liu Bei and Liu Qi had a good friendship, so he said awkwardly: "Jiangdong is neighbor to Jingzhou, so we should go to the funeral with Xuande. Ziheng will work hard for you." Once."

"Wei." Lu Fan got up to answer.

Before leaving, Sun Quan secretly summoned Lu Fan and said: "According to the secret report sent by Jingzhou spies, Pang Tong and General Huang Zhong have controlled Jiangling. When you go to the funeral, you must develop internal support as much as possible, so that it will be convenient for Gongjin to seize Nanjun.

In addition, Lantian, the prefect of Lingling, is Liu Qi's confidant. This person is quite prestigious in Jingnan counties. Ziheng can say that with a lot of money. If Liu Xuande can't take the four Jingnan counties, I don't mind taking two more Jingnan counties. "

"As Liu Qi's confidant, how can he be moved by property?" Lu Fan was puzzled.

Sun Quan recalled Lantian's market-like behavior when he was in Chaisang. He had long defined this person as a greedy mediocre person. This kind of person is best at judging the situation.Liu Qi has died of illness now, Lan Tian will definitely vote for my "future" under my Sun Lang's command.

"Zi Heng can do it with confidence. You can make more promises. I expect this person will be useful to Jiangdong." Sun Quan said confidently.

"Wei." Lu Fan kept it in his heart.

In the early morning of the next day, Liu Bei and his party went upstream in a boat with Lu Fan.

When passing through the waters of Jiangxia, Guan Yu led hundreds of sailors, Zhang Fei, and Zhuge Liang to meet them on the river. They did not stop at Jiangxia to rest, but continued to Jiangling.

Jiangling City seemed to be facing a great enemy. Gao Shun's camp was stationed outside the city, and Huang Zhong's Jiangling defenders were patrolling inside the city.

Lv Fan was startled as he walked along. These soldiers were well-trained and well-equipped. If there was no internal response to storm the city, Zhou Lang might repeat the same mistakes that Xiangyang had made.

1 Fifty Chapters Don't do things with money?

Jingzhou has been in turmoil for a long time since Liu Biao's death. Both the gentry and the common people hoped for stability, and it gradually calmed down after Lantian recaptured Jiangling.

Liu Qi settled in Jiangling and was assisted by Pang Tong. The ministers who had been excluded by Cai Mao, Kuai Yue and others gradually gathered together. Seeing that Jingzhou had returned to its former prosperity, Liu Qi was frightened and died in the earthquake.

Thanks to Pang Tong and Lan Tian's prompt handling, even though Liu Qi died so suddenly, Jiangling was still in a stable state.

Liu Qi was one of the feudal lords who came to express condolences for officials and friends from all over the country. He stopped in the funeral palace in the city and the funeral period was one month.

Lu Fan originally wanted to take advantage of the chaos to develop some internal support, but after arriving in Jiangling, he knew that there was no chance at all. After thinking about it, he could only pin his hopes on Lan Tian.

Lan Tian came to Jiangling for the funeral as the prefect of Lingling. In order to avoid suspicion, he, Zhao Fan, Han Xuan, and Gong Zhi all lived in the Jiangling post house.

After mourning Liu Qi, Lu Fan did not return directly to Jiangdong, but secretly went to the Jiangling Posthouse to look for the Lantian whom Sun Quan had mentioned.

After the two met and exchanged pleasantries, Lu Fan cut to the chase and asked, "Unfortunately, Liu Jingzhou passed away early. I wonder what the prefect Lan's plans are for the future?"

"I don't understand what General Lu means..." Lan Tianxu asked with eyes wide open.

Lu Fan glanced at Lan Tian, ​​twirled his beard and said with a smile: "Young Master died of illness and has no successors. Prefect Lan supervised Jingnan as his confidant. Don't you mean to be the Lord of Jingzhou?"

Lan Tian opened his eyes wide, and thought to himself, good guy, what are you doing here?

Could it be that someone in Jiangdong saw through my identity and came here to make a divorce now?

"General Lu be careful, Tian An keeps his own, how can he put Jingnan in danger?" Lan Tian said coldly.

Lu Fan laughed, "Ziyu is a sincere and honest person, just now he can play with each other, but the new lord of Jingzhou may not be able to use you like a prince..."

Seeing that Lan Tian did not speak, Lu Fan continued: "Jingzhou is the place where the Fourth World War was fought, and it cannot be defended unless there is a master. The last time Liu Jingsheng died of illness, Cao Cao went south. Now it is not Zhou Gongjin who is guarding Xinye. The iron hooves of Cao's army may have reached Jiangling. Under the city..."

"What exactly is General Lu trying to say?" Lan Tian was puzzled.

"Cao Thief is cruel and innocent. In today's world, Jiangdong is the only one who can resist Cao Thief. Whether it is for the sake of the people in Jingnan or for his own future, Prefect Lan should have made plans early. My lord is very sincere to make friends with Ziyu." Alright..." Lu Fan analyzed.

"General Sun intends to..." Lan Tian hesitated to speak.

Lu Fan looked around and said in a low voice, "Prefect Lan has been in Jingnan for a long time, so he should know Haihun Taishi Ziyi. As long as Ziyu can bring Jingnan back to Jiangdong, my lord promises that you can stay here forever..."

Lan Tian understood now that Sun Shiwan asked Lu Fan to win him over, intending to use Jiangdong's model to cultivate another Taishici. In name, he made Jingnan belong to Jiangdong, but in fact he made himself the emperor of Jingnan.

"Then let me think about it..."

Lan Tian is no longer an ignorant young man in Xuzhou. He has held power in Jingnan for several years, met too many people of all kinds, and his speech has gradually become artistic. At this time, he is ambiguous, and if he does not give a positive answer, there will be room for maneuver in the future .

In November, Pang Tong, General Huang Zhong, Guan Yu, Governor of Jiangxia, and Lantian, Governor of Lingling, supported Jingzhou Mu Liubei as the Lord of Jingzhou.

In the morning, the officials of Jingzhou attended Liu Qi's funeral, but Lu Fan did not accompany him but stayed in the post house to wait. Lan Tian said that he would give himself an affirmative answer today.

But waited and waited, but waited until Liu Bei became the lord of Jingzhou, and Lan Tian was still one of the four major supporters. After thinking about it, Liu Bei should have given greater benefits, but where is there Lan Tian in the city?

This guy, is avoiding me?

Lu Fan had no choice but to go to Liu Bei, and after meeting, he cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations, Mr. Xuande..."

Liu Bei looked helpless, "The officials in Jingzhou warmly supported him, this is unexpected for Bei..."

Lu Fanxin said, what are you pretending to do with me?Among the four supporters, who would be enthusiastic except Guan Yu?When he was mourning, he saw Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang flirtatiously. The two were old acquaintances when they were in Xiangyang, and even the nickname came from the same person.

What Lu Fan couldn't understand the most was Lan Tian. He had been in contact with Lan Tian these days, and he had no conversations with Lan Tian. In addition to the many banquets, he also made a lot of promises to him in the future.

Sun Quan is undoubtedly very accurate in judging people. Lan Tian is really 'greedy', everyone says that greedy people are easy to deal with, but Lan Tian is not moral at all, he eats and takes and does nothing.

Now that the four Jingnan counties are handed over to Liu Bei directly, it will be difficult for Sun Quan to reach out to carve up Jingzhou. At this time, Lu Fan really feels like he has a broken tooth and can only swallow it in his stomach.

"Duke Xuande of Wujun discussed with my lord to carve up Jingzhou. Now the general will occupy this place without any effort. How can Fan Youyan return to Jiangdong?" Lu Fan smiled wryly.

Liu Bei comforted: "Ziheng told Zhongmou truthfully that Bei was flattered by the kindness of the officials and people in Jingzhou, but in this way, I can also share the pressure on Cao Jun for Jiangdong. In the future, Zhongmou will send troops to Hefei again, and I will send troops to respond... "

"Earlier, Buzishan said to mediate Wu Ju and Lai Gong, Mr. Xuande will take all the benefits, right?" Lu Fan took the next best thing and moved his idea to Jiaozhou.

Liu Bei responded with a smile: "Everything in Jingzhou is still undecided. Bei is still in a hurry. How can he have the energy to intervene in the disputes in Jiaozhou? If Zhongmou wants to make peace for Jiaozhou, please feel free..."

"Then I'll tell the lord..." Lu Fanxin said that it's not too bad.

Before returning to Jiangdong, Lu Fan went to Sun Shangxiang's residence to bid farewell.

When Liu Bei got married in the bridal chamber in Wu County, Liu Bei saw that Sun Shangxiang's room was full of swords and guns, and the maidservants stood on both sides with swords hanging on both sides. Liu Bei was frightened and mistakenly thought it was an ambush.

Under the eaves, Liu Bei could only have fun with Sun Shangxiang under pressure. When he returned from Wujun, hundreds of servants accompanied him.

After taking over Jingzhou, Liu Bei was busy with government affairs and couldn't stay with Sun Shangxiang all the time, so he set up a special courtyard for her, and still enjoyed fencing with his servants, and appointed Zhao Yun as the guard of General Yamen.

After Lu Fan arrived at the other courtyard, he saw that the layout of the courtyard was the same as that of Jiangdong, and he couldn't help sighing that Liu Bei was careful.

Zhuge Liang had been planning the Jingzhou incident. Sun Shangxiang believed that Liu Bei was lucky, so he was quite embarrassed when he saw Lu Fan.

"Xuande got Jingzhou by chance. My husband is honest and honest. This move was not his intention. Ziheng can explain the truth to his brother when he goes back, and I will also write a book to explain it for you." Sun Shangxiang said.

"Thank you, Miss." Lu Fan cupped his hands in return, thinking that Miss is still young after all, Liu Bei has been in the world for decades, if he is really honest and honest, can he live to this day?

"Jingzhou and Jiangdong are accessible by water, so Ziheng can come here often if he has nothing to do. What can I ask for parting?" Sun Shangxiang asked politely.

Lu Fan thought for a while, and then said coldly: "Fan has nothing to say. Lingling Lantian was Liu Qi's confidant in the past. This person's character is really not good. If the lady is free, you can tell Mr. Xuande..."

Chapter 151 Earthquake Relief

Lan Tian and Sun Shangxiang are old acquaintances, they met for the first time in Chaisang and Zhou Yu's other courtyard, at first they were furious because of this fellow's attitude, and later they met again in the funeral palace where Liu Qi's coffin lay.

Sun Shangxiang's impression of Lantian was mediocre, when Lu Fan suddenly spoke ill of him, she frowned and asked back: "Is a poor character able to become Liu Qi's confidant? I think the prefects of Jingnan counties admire him very much. Its power stabilizes Jingnan..."

Lu Fan smiled wryly: "This guy is acting like a bully, and using his power to extort a lot of property from me. Giving this person so much power is tantamount to raising a tiger..."

"Is there such a thing?" Sun Shangxiang patted the case and stood up.

"How dare Lu Fan lie to Miss, anyway, tell Mr. Xuande to be more careful..."

Lu Fan confessed a few more words, and then left Jiangling with Congren and went back to Jiangdong.

The reason why there is no Lantian in Jiangling City is because he led people to rescue Liu Bei after supporting Liu Bei.
