A few days ago, Liu Chan sent a letter from Wuchang, and then it was delivered to Liu Bei and others as quickly as possible through the post stations in various places.
While Liu Bei and others were relieved, they were also eager to know what the prince was doing in Wuchang!
The fact that Liu Chan took the initiative to go to Jiangdong not only made Lu Xun and Sun Quan feel a little confused, but also Liu Bei and even many of Liu Bei's confidants.
Even more confused than Sun Quan!
Although Huang Quan was very grateful to Liu Chan for opening his way of life and not letting him suffer the separation of father and son, and the betrayal of the emperor and his ministers.
But exchanging a prince for a general... this kind of thing is really not worthwhile.
But the letter Liu Chan sent to Liu Bei repeatedly emphasized that he had a way to return to Chengdu, so Liu Bei was asked to insist on one or two and return to Chengdu to preside over major events...
The original letter and silk were still in Liu Bei's hands, but now... His Highness the Crown Prince still has no intention of returning to Chengdu.
On the contrary, judging from the news coming from Wuchang and other places, His Royal Highness is doing quite well in Wuchang at this time.
Eating, drinking and having fun, visiting people from Jiangdong every day, like this...
"You don't even have the slightest intention of coming back!"
Although Liu Bei felt that it was a bit bad to talk about his son like this, as a father, he always felt that this brat was having a lot of fun.
Such an attitude made Liu Bei and others even more confused about what to do.
Fortunately, news came at the critical moment, and Liu Chan informed Chengdu of what he had done during this period, almost in detail.
It also allowed everyone to feel relieved.
Although Liu Bei and others still did not see from the letter why Liu Chan turned around and fled to Jiangdong, it is not incomprehensible.
"His Royal Highness is currently in Wuchang, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to feel at ease under the gaze of a group of thieves.
This letter must also be using a lot of empty words to cover up its true purpose, thereby deceiving Jiangdong Sun Zhongmou.
I have been waiting to read this letter for a long time, but I have learned something..."
At this time, the minister ordered Liu Ba to stand up directly, then picked up the letter and silk in his hand, looked around at everyone, and then continued softly.
"The prince's letter contains a message that he will attend banquets in Jiangdong every day and accept banquets from various families.
This seems to be a visit to the people of Jiangdong, but in fact it is an inspection of the food and supplies in Jiangdong.
At this time, Jiangdong was experiencing successive wars, but the prohibition on alcohol had not yet been implemented, which meant that Jiangdong's grain supply was still sufficient, and the price of grain... was also relatively stable.
I had heard before that the land east of Jiangdong was fertile, and the wealthy families among them were quite prosperous.
Now it can be seen in His Highness’s letter! "
In addition to government affairs, Shangshu ordered Liu Ba to be in charge of the money and food of the Han Dynasty. He was quite concerned about and envious of Jiangdong, a force with a good foundation that had not gone through brutal fighting and had almost remained intact.
Huang Quan on the side also took up the topic with a letter.
"It is not feasible to win over people from Jiangdong now, but His Highness does it with some tricks.
Judging from the letters and silks, the factions in Jiangdong are no longer so clear-cut.
Previously, Jiangdong had the Huaisi lineage as well as the local wealthy families in Jiangdong, but we can already see it from the prince's letter.
The Huaisi lineage of Jiangdong is almost indistinguishable from the native people of Jiangdong.
The marriage between them eliminated so many conflicts. After the traitor Lu Meng died of illness, the Huaisi lineage completely lost power.
Now only the newly joined Jingzhou lineage can help Sun Zhongmou stabilize the situation.
But when His Highness came up, he visited many surrendered generals in Jingzhou, which caused some changes in the Jingzhou lineage.
When the war is over, Sun Zhongmou will also have a headache. "
After Huang Quan finished speaking, he couldn't help but laugh. At the same time, he also looked at Zhuge Kongming beside him. He knew that this man must have something else he wanted to say.
Not only Huang Quan, but Liu Bei also looked at Zhuge Liang.
It was Zhuge Kongming who saw the most important sentence in Liu Chan's letter at a glance.
"My son once promised Luo Tong of Jiangdong that he would help him retrieve his father's remains and send his mother back to Wu..."
This sentence was stuffed into the letter as if it were said casually. If it weren't for Zhuge Kongming's sharp eyesight, it would have been ignored.
At this time, everyone saw a lot of things from the letter, but in the center of them, the smile on Zhuge Kongming's face never faded.
"Your Highness... Now it must be a headache for Jiang Dong."
This sudden sentence made Liu Bei and others frown. They didn't know why Zhuge Liang said this.
However, Zhuge Liang seemed to have forgotten about him after saying this, and had no intention of continuing.
Naturally, it was not easy for everyone to ask questions.
After that, Zhuge Liang collected the letter and whispered to Liu Bei.
"The prince must have his own purpose, but now that the prince is in Wuchang, as the saying goes, things are changing rapidly on the battlefield.
I'm afraid the same is true in Wuchang now.
It is inevitable for the prince to be alone in Wuchang. It is inevitable that he will have some troubles. He should send someone to help him.
In case the prince really wants to do something, but can't do it. "
"In addition, this letter also said that the family members of Jingzhou lineage should be taken care of, which Liang deeply agrees with.
This not only shows the prince's kindness and kindness, but also makes people in Jingzhou feel like a big man. If anything happens in the future, these things at this time will be our chance to win! "
After Zhuge Liang finished speaking, he bowed directly to Liu Bei and took out the letter he had prepared.
"Previously, His Majesty was unwell and asked me to take charge of the affairs of the government on his behalf.
The list of people sent to Jiangdong...Liang has already been drawn up.
Please give your Majesty an idea..."
After saying this, Zhuge Kongming asked his servant to deliver the letter to Liu Bei.
After Liu Bei opened the silk book, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.
"Xianhe, Gongyou, Bomiao, Dexin...and Qiaoer?"
Liu Bei couldn't help being surprised when he looked at the silk book in his hand.
"Bo Miao and Dexin are both good juniors around me now, so it would be appropriate for them to join Adou.
Gongyou is a disciple of Duke Zheng and a famous person in the world. Going to Wuchang... is not a bad idea!
But Xianhe and Qiaoer..."
"Reporting to your majesty, this is to allow the prince to return safely." Zhuge Liang also pointed at the silk book and explained.
"Although Zhuge Qiao is Chen's son, he is Chen's elder brother who has passed into his lap.
Therefore, he is very familiar with the situation in Jiangdong, and he has some sympathy. When he goes to the prince's side, he can check for him and fill in the gaps.
As for Xianhe..."
