Jianye.
Deng Zhi was extremely disappointed and didn't want such an ally.
But now, due to the situation, we cannot start a war with Cao Wei and Sun Wu at the same time.
Otherwise, we must let these Soochow thieves see the power of the Jingzhou navy!
Although Deng Zhi felt unhappy, he was able to enlighten himself.
"If we can have five million stones of food, we can solve Jingzhou's urgent need!"
"His Highness said that as long as you give him five million stones, he can return a miracle."
"Deng Bomiao, Deng Bomiao, you can't even get five million stones of food. You are a waste!"
Deng Zhi did not intend to return to Jingzhou directly, but wanted to make a round trip.
Unfortunately, as soon as they reached the riverside, they saw several menacing Shanyue people.
"But the Han Dynasty envoy?"
"Our boss has been looking for you for a long time!"
"What do those Soochow dogs have to say? They are wasting such time!"
Deng Zhi was completely puzzled. He only knew that his Highness plotted against Pan Lin and Fei Zhan.
Could it be that his little brother wanted to take out his anger on him, the messenger?
"Sex does not change the name, sitting does not change the surname, the Han Dynasty envoy Deng Bomiao!"
Deng Zhi glared at several Shanyue people, but saw that they had changed their attitude.
"I told you earlier, come with us quickly!"
"I heard that Jingzhou is short of food, but our boss is very concerned about it!"
"Yes, yes! The boss always brags that he is a big man, a lieutenant general, am I saying she is just farting!"
"Exactly! If he were really a great general, how could he lead us Shanyue to rebel against Soochow?"
Deng Zhi was confused after hearing this, so he was invited on board by several Shanyue people.
"Who is your boss?"
"You will find out when you go in. The fewer people who know about our boss, the better!"
Deng Zhi was quite puzzled, but after all, he was no match for these Shanyue people, so he could only walk into the cabin.
"But Deng Bomiao?"
The man in front of him was of Shanyue blood, his bold and unrestrained personality, and his muscular muscles all made Deng Zhi think that this man was a fierce general.
"That's right! What's the matter with the leader inviting me here?"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
The leader of Shanyue burst into laughter, "Have you heard Cheng Wu's name?"
Cheng Wu?
Deng Zhi's eyes widened, "You...are you General Cheng Wu who has been following His Highness for a long time?"
"I heard that after you saved General Ziyi, you left without saying goodbye!"
"Over the years, Your Highness has asked us to search for you a lot!"
Cheng Wu felt warm in his heart and sighed: "I didn't expect that Young Master still remembers me, Cheng Wu!"
Hearing this, Deng Zhi nodded and said, "Who knows, back then Deng Ai, Huang Shan, Cheng Wu, Ma Su, Wei Yan and others were all close ministers of His Highness!"
"Now, except for General Cheng, the other four are already indispensable generals for the Han Dynasty!"
"General Cheng, although you are from Shanyue, how could you..."
Cheng Wu smiled calmly: "I still have a nickname now. They all call me King of Shanyue!"
"Pan Lin was attacked that day, and Fei Zhan was useless, so he was killed by Lu Boyan."
"Shan Yue is about to fall apart. Without Shan Yue's restraint, I'm afraid Sun Quan's only goal is Jiangdong."
"I can only go to Shanyue, integrate the troops, and fight against Sun Quan again. This can be regarded as containing the forces of Wu Commandery and Kuaiji."
Hearing this, Deng Zhi suddenly realized that no wonder three of the six counties in Jiangdong could not act rashly.
It took a long time, and it was all thanks to Cheng Wu.
"If I hadn't heard that the young master was in trouble this time, I wouldn't have planned to show up easily."
"I have prepared five million stones of food! Bo Miao only needs to follow the merchant ship to Jingzhou!"
"Don't worry, these merchant ships are trying to deceive others. In order to bribe Soochow officials, I spent a lot of money!"
Cheng Wu snorted coldly: "Young master will conquer Jiangdong one day, and I will lead the Shanyue troops to attack from the rear. When the time comes, attack from both sides, I will definitely defeat Soochow!"
Deng Zhi nodded, Cheng Wu's appearance was too timely!
Not only did he provide food, he also laid important chess pieces for Liu Mang to attack Jiangdong in the future.
Of course, the premise is that Cheng Wubie was eliminated by Sun Quan and others before Liu Mang attacked Jiangdong.
"General Cheng is so righteous! On behalf of the people of Jingzhou, I would like to thank you!"
Deng Zhi bowed and Cheng Wu wanted to help him, but Deng Zhi didn't allow it.
"General Cheng, you deserve this gift!"
"Bo Miao, we are all our own people, no need to be polite!"
Cheng Wu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Soochow has always regarded me as a thorn in its side. I can't leave Shanyue for too long."
"Bo Miao returns to Jingzhou as soon as possible!"
"Please give me a message for the young master, saying that Cheng Wu is waiting for the day when the young master comes to regain Jiangdong!"
After saying that, Cheng Wu and others jumped directly into the water to cover up their actions.
Immediately, the boatman was ordered to sail, and the merchant ship that followed went straight to Jingzhou Public Security Port.
"General Cheng Wu, Deng Bomiao will never let you down!"
…
Jingzhou, Xiangyang.
The food problem has not yet been solved, but Liu Mang already has new ideas.
"Renovate the temple? When did you become a Buddhist, Your Highness?"
"Sir, temples are not important, even Taoist temples are fine!"
Liu Mang said casually, "Tell those great monks and old Taoist priests that when hiring disaster victims, you only need to give them one meal a day!"
"These people are full of good men and women, and they have hidden a lot of food!"
"You talk about Amitabha, but in this time of famine, you can't save all sentient beings."
Pang Tong nodded. Buddhism was flourishing in the Han Dynasty, especially in the south, where there were so many Buddhist temples.
There are four hundred and eighty temples in the Southern Dynasty, and there are many towers in the mist.
As for robbing these monks of food, Zhang Fei did make some suggestions.
But it was quickly denied by Guan Yu and others. If they did not even spare the food stored by the monks and Taoists, were the Han army bandits or an army?
In the end, Liu Mang came up with this trick. When most Buddhist and Taoist temples were already dilapidated, he let the temples hire disaster victims to work in the name of repairs.
"Your Highness, do you really think you only need to provide two meals and someone will help repair the temple?"
"Fajing, what's the matter with you old bald ass? Will my eldest nephew still lie to you?"
Zhang Fei was furious when he heard this and grabbed the host's neck.
"Third General! Third General! We are all old acquaintances!"
"When my wife went to the temple to pray for blessings, I didn't ask her for a penny more for the sesame oil!"
Zhang Fei then let go of Fa Jing's presiding, "If your Tianwang Temple hadn't been famous in Jingzhou, I would have burned it down!"
"Don't worry, when those victims go to work, I will send someone to follow them! There won't be any trouble!"
With Zhang Fei taking action, Fa Jing, the presiding officer, felt relieved. This was Liu Mang's intention.
With Tennoji's treasures at the forefront, other Buddhist temples can safely use these victims to work.
"Work-for-relief, I did it earlier than Roosevelt!"
Liu Mang smiled lightly, but his plan didn't stop there!
"Mr. Pang, I leave it to you to provide relief through work!"
"By the way, let all the people who are willing to earn hundreds of dollars build roads!"
"The wars during this year have caused a lot of damage to the roads! There are also any water conservancy projects, please get them all for me!"
