The general trend of the world is changing rapidly, and at this time, there are no instant communication devices like mobile phones. Flying pigeons are already the fastest way to send messages. Cihang Jingzhai is based in Jingzhou. In recent years, the farther away from Jingzhou, the harder it is to control. Sometimes, by the time the news comes back, it is already too late to make a decision.
For example, Liu Yu, the shepherd of Youzhou who was far in the north, was killed by Gongsun Zan. By the time Cihang Jingzhai discovered the clues, the distant water could not save the nearby fire. Therefore, many times, Shangguan Di feels powerless and beyond her reach. Maybe it's because of her lack of ability. Shangguan Di can't control the overall situation like Shi Zimiao. The only thing she can do is to concentrate her strength and grab what she can in front of her!
In this regard, Shangguan Di is somewhat self-aware. She only cares about one thing and the other, but in the end she may not care about anyone at all.
"It's a pity that the great situation left by Master has been broken like this."
Shangguan Di sighed silently in his heart. Before becoming the master of Cihang Jingzhai, Shangguan Di didn't understand Shi Zimiao's overall view at all. Just imagine, if Liu Yu, the pastor of Youzhou, was still there, then in the world today, there would be Liu Zhang in Yizhou, Liu Biao in Jingzhou, and Liu Biao in Yangzhou. Yu, once these three places are connected and form a strong alliance, then the entire south, including Bashu, and half of the country will be under the control of the Han Dynasty. They can advance, attack, retreat, and defend, so that they will be in an invincible position. Then Xuzhou in the east was occupied by Liu Bei after Tao Qian's death. From then on, all the three directions of east, west, south and west were in his hands, and their power was integrated into one.
At this time, as long as the three parties work together, Yuan Shu and Cao Cao, who are caught in the middle, will be in trouble. Will they be their opponents? Finally, after concentrating all their strength, they joined forces with Liu Yu in Youzhou in the far north, and attacked Yuan Shao in the middle from north to south. In this way, except for the northwest of Chang'an and other places outside the pass, the entire Central Plains returned to the rule of the Han Dynasty!
However, the embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed in an ant nest. No matter how good the situation was, after Gongsun Zan suddenly killed Liu Yu, a series of chain reactions occurred. Except for Liu Zhang of Yizhou and Liu Biao of Jingzhou, these Han clan members, whether Liu Bei of Xuzhou or Liu Yao of Yangzhou, now have some difficulty in protecting themselves, let alone uniting.
Shangguan Di didn't think as far ahead as Shi Zimiao. Of course, now that Liu Yu was dead, even if she wanted to think about it in the long term, she couldn't think about it in the long term. Therefore, Shangguan Di set a goal for himself: the first step is to unify the entire south!
Unifying the south seems complicated, but in fact, apart from some petty bandits, the only obstacle is Yuan Shu. As long as Yuan Shu is destroyed and the middle passage is opened, Liu Biao, Liu Yao, Liu Bei, and Liu Zhang of Bashu can all be connected through the Yangtze River waterway! Therefore, Shangguan Di was to take charge of Shouchun at this time. Once Yuan Shu dared to proclaim himself emperor, it would be logical to destroy him. But before that, Shangguan Di was most worried about Liu Bei and Liu Yao. Both of them had unstable local foundations. As long as they could stabilize their position during this period and not lose their chain, at least the situation in the south would be good for Shangguan Di. I think I can still control it.
At present, Liu Bei seems to be in some danger. Now Lu Bu has been defeated by Cao Cao and is temporarily attached to Liu Bei. His relationship is somewhat similar to that of Liu Yu and Gongsun Zan. But the more this happens, the more Shangguan Di is worried that Liu Bei will follow Liu Yu's example. Follow in the footsteps. As for Liu Yao in Yangzhou, he seems to be in a good situation. He firmly defends the Yangtze River defense line, preventing the coalition forces of Sun Ben, Wu Jing and Yuan Shu from crossing the river. One day, Liu Yao may even counterattack and cause trouble to Yuan Shu. This makes Shangguan Di Extremely looking forward to it.
"Master Zhai Zhai... Here is a letter for you." A disciple of Cihang Jingzhai suddenly appeared and said cautiously.
"Letter?" Shangguandi raised her pretty eyebrows and asked a little strangely, "Who gave it to me?"
It's not that no one will send a letter to Shangguan Di, but this disciple's reaction is a bit strange. Of course, this disciple is familiar with Shangguan Di, and his identity will definitely not be a problem. So, it can only be that the person who wrote the letter is ambiguous.
"I don't know." The disciple shook his head slightly and whispered very cautiously, "I picked it up outside."
"What!"
Shangguan Di stood up suddenly. Someone put the letter in, but they didn't even notice it. What if the other person didn't come to deliver the letter, but to kill someone? Moreover, what worries Shangguan Di the most is when they were exposed!
Shangguan Di was not worried about her own safety, but during this period, too much important information came in and too many important instructions came out. If they were exposed very early, then Shi Zi Miao had to wonder, did her instructions really get through successfully? It wouldn't have been intercepted halfway! What's more, is there some more important information that hasn't been transmitted at all?
"Give me the letter!"
Shangguan Di immediately took the letter into his hand and hurriedly opened it. His expression changed several times as he looked at the contents of the letter.
"Sun Quan..."
······
At the same time, a dark room
Yu'er looked at the note in her hand,
"Oh? Are you ready to start? Little brother, are you too impatient?" He said, suddenly smiled, "This is no less than an open war with Cihang Jingzhai, but I like this rough!"
"Here comes! Elder Zhang? Come to Shouchun immediately. Yuan Shu needs someone to give him a fortune." Yu'er ordered on the spot.
Since Zhang Daoling ascended to the throne, Taoist priests named Zhang all over the world like to use the guise of Zhang Daoling, regardless of whether they are related to Zhang Daoling or not. This includes but does not rule out the fact that some people clearly do not have the surname Zhang, but deliberately claim to be surnamed Zhang, and go around deceiving others. Among them, Zhang Yu is such a very famous fortune teller in contemporary times.
To be honest, who is Zhang? Even Yu'er is not sure about his origins and whether he can tell fortunes. He only knows that this person is very good at whitewashing himself and confusing others. He is true and false, false and true. You don't believe his words. At that time, Zhang He was right every time. Once you completely believed in him, you were not far away from losing all your wealth.
This is a very evil person who enjoys playing with people, but he has to admit that he is also a very capable person. A fortune teller with no foundation in power, after a lot of running, easily became the elder of the Demon Sect. He was also one of the four people who followed Yu'er in Liyang that day.
Yuan Shu wants to be the emperor, he has ambitions, and the rest is confidence and cooperation with the world situation. According to Sun Quan on the note, a situation favorable to Yuan Shu will soon come, so what is needed now is to give Yuan Shu confidence, let him believe that he can be the emperor, and let him believe that he is the destiny!
······
At the same time, Yuan Mansion,
"Father, this is what Sun Quan asked me to forward to you." Yuan Yuan took out a letter from her long sleeve.
As Yuan Shu took the letter, he smiled lovingly at his daughter and said,
"Did you meet secretly again?"
