"Piff, how dare you say that about my elder brother?"
Seeing that Wang Lei was so disrespectful to Liu Bei, Zhang Fei immediately blew his beard and glared, planning to take action!
"Third General, don't be impulsive!"
Zhuge Liang quickly stopped Zhang Fei.
Now they still have to live in Yizhou. If they really conflict with the local faction, they might even be kicked out.
"Okay, okay, don't argue anymore!"
Liu Zhang finally stood up and spoke,
"Now that Jiangdong has been eliminated by Cao Wei, even if we continue to argue, it will be meaningless."
"It's better to prepare early from today to deal with Cao Wei's future attack."
Seeing him speak, everyone bowed their hands and said yes.
After concluding the discussion, Liu Bei and others left the Prefecture Mufu and headed towards their residence.
"Uncle Liu Huang, please stay!"
Zhang Song's voice came from behind Liu Bei. He turned around and saw that Zhang Song and Fazheng were walking up quickly.
"I wonder what's wrong with you two gentlemen?"
Zhang Song looked around and whispered,
"Uncle Liu Huang, how have you considered the suggestions made a few days ago?"
Liu Bei looked hesitant.
A few days ago, Zhang Song found Liu Bei and expressed his hope that Liu Bei would kill Liu Zhang and replace him as the shepherd of Yizhou.
However, Liu Bei cherished feathers and did not want to be a disloyal and unjust person, so he did not agree.
Seeing Liu Bei's silence, Fazheng sighed,
"Yizhou Mu has a generous personality, but he doesn't know people well and has no ability. If it weren't for him, how could we sit back and watch Jiangdong's destruction?"
"It won't be long before Cao Wei invades Yizhou. How can we resist Cao Wei with just the ability of Zhou Mu?"
"Zi Qiao and I urged Zhou Mu to keep Uncle Liu Huang because he was extremely capable, kind-hearted, cherished the people, and wanted to benefit the people of Yizhou."
"And now that Yizhou is in danger, why didn't Uncle Liu Huang make a decision earlier?!"
Liu Bei let out a long sigh,
"I appreciate your kindness."
"It's just that Yizhou Mu accepted Bei in times of crisis. How could Bei repay kindness with enmity?"
Zhang Song and Fazheng still wanted to say something, but Liu Bei waved his hands extremely resolutely and left with Zhang Fei.
Looking at his back, the two of them looked helpless.
Seeing Liu Zhang's incompetence, they lured Liu Bei to Sichuan, hoping to assist him in accomplishing great things.
But he didn't expect Liu Bei to insist on loyalty so much.
This can't help but make them a little disappointed!
At this moment, a soft voice came from the side,
"Don't be anxious, you two. Although our Lord is benevolent and righteous, he is not helpless."
The two looked up, and it was Zhuge Liang who spoke.
Zhang's eyes lit up and he said quickly,
"Mr. Kong Ming has always been smart, but what's his plan?"
Zhuge Liang shook his feather fan gently and smiled lightly,
"This matter is quite simple. Since my master is unwilling, why not let Yizhou Mu take the initiative to force him?"
Zhang Song was stunned for a moment, but before he could react, Fazheng on the side suddenly said,
"Mr. Kong Ming means...to take the initiative to report Uncle Liu Huang, saying that he intends to seize Yizhou?"
"That's pretty much what it means."
Zhuge Liang nodded slightly.
"This is not a bad idea."
Zhang Song stroked his hands and smiled,
"Once Liu Zhang takes the initiative to attack Uncle Liu Huang, no matter how loyal Uncle Liu Huang is, he cannot sit still and wait for death!"
"In this case, we should discuss it carefully!"
Fa Zheng also agreed.
When the time was agreed upon, and after further discussion, they left separately.
…
Kuaiji County.
The administrative office is Shanyin County.
In the county government hall, Yang Ling was talking to Pang Tong and others.
More than a month has passed since the First World War in Lou County.
During this period, with the help of Huang Gai, Lu Su and others, the forces that originally belonged to Sun Quan in Yangzhou either surrendered or were wiped out.
The entire Yangzhou also fell completely under Cao Wei's control.
"My subordinates sent troops to search the coastal areas of Kuaiji County, but no trace of Sun Quan was found."
Pang Tong and Sun Quan had a hatred of exterminating their family.
Coupled with Jiangdong's initial decision, Sun Quan may come back at any time if he is not arrested.
Therefore, Pang Tong also spent a lot of effort to find Sun Quan's whereabouts.
"In that case, Sun Quan has only three ways to go."
Yang Ling looked at the sand table, touched his chin and said,
"Either land in Jiaozhou, or go north to join Gongsun Kang of Liaodong, or... go to Yizhou Island."
Yizhou Island was later known as Taiwan Island. As early as the Eastern Han Dynasty, the imperial court had discovered the island and named it Yizhou.
Over the years, Sun Quan has also sent many men to the island.
First, conquer the local indigenous people and manage them as a population.
Secondly, they are also cultivating wasteland on the island to increase food output.
If Sun Quan had not fled to Jiaozhou or Liaodong, there would be only one possibility.
"What the general said is absolutely true, and I think so too."
Pang Tong nodded.
"In this case, you first send someone to inquire and see if Sun Quan has fled to Jiaozhou. If not, send someone to Yizhou to have a look."
Yang Ling ordered.
There is a saying that if you cut the grass without removing the root, it will grow again when the spring breeze blows.
Although when Sun Quan escaped, there were only a few thousand people around him.
But after all, the Sun family has ruled Jiangdong for so many years, and he still has considerable appeal in Jiangdong.
It would be disgusting enough if this kid harassed her from time to time and caused some trouble in the future.
So if possible, Yang Ling still wants to deal with him directly once and for all.
"Subordinates obey orders!"
Pang Tong cupped his fists and said.
At this moment, Zhou Cang walked in quickly and saluted Yang Ling.
"General, your Majesty's envoy has arrived!"
Yang Ling was stunned for a moment, then put down the official work at hand and stood up.
"Come on, follow me out of the city to meet you!"
Not long after, Yang Ling led Pang Tong, Zhao Yun, Dian Wei and others out of Shanyin City.
I saw a group of people stopping at the city gate.
The leader was none other than Wu Zhi, who had had a rift with Yang Ling before.
Enemies are extremely jealous when they meet!
The two looked at each other, and Wu Zhipi smiled and said,
"General, you're welcome and safe!"
"I didn't expect it to be Wu Shizhong."
Yang Ling also smiled,
"Shizhong Wu came all the way to Yangzhou. It seems his butt doesn't hurt anymore?"
As soon as these words came out, Dian Wei, Xu Chu and others all burst into laughter.
Wu Zhi's old face suddenly turned into black coal!
Being scolded in public has become a shame that he will never be able to wash away!
However, Yang Ling mentioned it in public again. Wasn't this pointing at the monk and calling the thief bald?
But being angry, Wu Zhi couldn't get angry. He could only hold back his anger and said coldly,
"Your Majesty has a decree, please ask the general to take it!"
Let's play for fun, make trouble for trouble, don't take Cao Pi as a joke.
Yang Ling bowed and saluted, and said seriously,
"I accept the order!"
"Your Majesty has a decree. The general has put down the Jiangdong rebellion and has made outstanding achievements. He has specially ordered the general to return to Beijing immediately to receive his reward."
"As for Jiangdong's military and political affairs, leave everything to Wu Zhi, the servant!"
