It has been a few days since Mrs. Cai's mansion left. In the past few days, Liu Mang has another talent under his command, and that is Mi Zhu and Mi Zhong, a big businessman from the Mi family. After leaving Nanyang County, Wei Yan parted ways with Mi Zhu, and Wei Yan returned to his Yiyang, where Wei Yan still needed to command his Yiyang soldiers.
Mi Zhu went directly to Xinye. With the help of Liu Qi, the prefect of Xinye, he took a boat from Xinye to Xiangyang in Jingzhou.
"You are Mi Zhu and Mi Zhong?!" Liu Mang has never met Mi Zhu, he has only heard of this person. This person is a world-renowned figure and a real billionaire. Shang Mi Zhu is good at business, so he became the richest man in Xuzhou. He had servants and nearly ten thousand diners. He was also recruited by the late Xuzhou Mu Taoqian to be Xuzhou Biejia. He wanted to use Mi Zhu to make money for Tao Qian. It's just that Mi Zhu looked down on Tao Qian, and finally defected to Liu Da'er. After Liu Bei took control of Yizhou, he worshiped Mizhu as General Anhan, his status was higher than Zhuge Liang, and he was the most among Liu Bei's ministers.
This shows the role of Mi Zhu. With Mi Zhu, it can be said that you are basically not short of money.
"Countryside people, Mi Zhu has met His Highness the King of Shu!" Mi Zhu saw Liu Mang and respectfully came up to Liu Mang and worshiped him. Although Mi Zhu lowered his head, he looked up and down at Liu Mang from the corner of his eyes. Liu Mang was really too young. Liu Bei was in his 40s, but Liu Mang was still a young man in his twenties. That's all, and Tao Qian who Mi Zhu follows is even ten years old, Cao Cao and others are also in their forties, and Liu Biao in Jingzhou is also in his fifties. It can be said that there are not no young masters in this world. You look like Yuan Shao's two sons, Sun Ce of Jiangdong.
But it is really rare to be as young as Liu Wei. Sun Ce and Yuan Tan are already in their thirties, and although Yuan Shang is young, he is also in his twenties. Only Liu Mang is only twenty-two or three.
The younger the protagonist, the more potential he has. This Mi Zhu will not know that an old protagonist, for example, Liu Biao of Jingzhou used to be Tao Qian of Xuzhou. They are old, and basically have no enterprising spirit. Such a lord will have to change his family in the end, and may even be dragged to be buried together, so Mi Zhu abandoned Tao Qian and joined Liu Beijun.
And now that Mi Zhu is following someone younger than Liu Bei, Mi Zhu is naturally a little happy.
Liu Mang is stronger than Liu Bei, Yangzhou has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, Xiliang iron cavalry, urban management army, and Bingzhou wolf cavalry. In the camp, the black chess army, which one is not brave and good at fighting, there are many generals, and the minister also has the budding Xu Shu. Liu Ye, as well as the old fox Jia Xu and others, can know the potential of Yangzhou since Zhang Xiu and Liu Bei failed to lay siege to Yangzhou.
Mi Zhu was observing Liu Mang, he didn't know what kind of person this new lord was.
"Country people?!" Liu Mang couldn't help laughing when he heard Mi Zhu's self-proclaimed, if the former Xu Banzhou were country people, then what would they be.
"Mr. Zhong, get up quickly! You are no longer a countryman, but you are the general commercial office of my Yangzhou, and you are also the Marquis of Guangzhou. Isn't the Marquis of Guangzhou still alive?!" Liu Mang said to Mi Zhu. He showed enough respect, because he knew that the position of a businessman was very embarrassing at this time, and the best reward for a businessman was to respect him. And Liu Mang didn't care. Businessmen, businessmen in previous lives were able to seek the country, and their status is still very high. Without businessmen, it is impossible to have a prosperous world, right? Even Liu Mang stepped forward to help Mi Zhu up
Upon hearing Liu Mang's respect, Mi Zhu's raised heart finally let go. This new protagonist does not seem to be a bad tempered person, and he also looks like a wise master.
"Thank you, my lord!" Mi Zhu is also a person who can observe words and demeanor, and when he heard Liu Mang calling him Mr. Zhong, he immediately called Liu Mang his lord, this is to shorten the relationship between him and Liu Mang.
"Don't blame me for Zhong being poached from Liu Da'er!" Liu Mang and Mi Zhu wooed each other.
"Mi Zhu can't!" Mi Zhu shook his head and said, if Mi Zhu would complain about Liu Mang before, but now Mi Zhu can't, he has seen through Liu Bei's behavior, and businessmen value profit, where can Liu Bei be? What you get can also be obtained from Liu Mang, and even more can be obtained, so what does Mi Zhu have to say
"It's good to understand!" Liu Wei said with a smile, Mi Zhu didn't get respect from Liu Bei, but he could get it from Liu Wei.
"To make a long story short, Zhong Zhong came to Jingzhou directly this time because he had important matters to be handed over to Zhong!" Liu Mang's original plan was to let Mi Zhu go to Yangzhou to reunite with Mi Fang and Mrs. Mi first, and then arrange Mi Zhu to do things, so that In order to win Mi Zhu's heart better, but now Liu Mang can only ask Mi Zhu to come to Jingzhou urgently because of Jingzhou's affairs.
"Is there something important?!" Mi Zhu's eyes flashed. Mi Zhu is not afraid of having something to do, but he is afraid that there is nothing to do. Only doing things can reflect his value and make his position more stable. "My lord, please tell me!" Mi Zhu knelt down again, cupping his fists at Liu Mang.
"This matter is of great importance, Zhong Ding must be careful in handling it, if you make a mistake, please come and see me!" Liu Mang respected Mi Zhu and gave him status, but he couldn't be negligent when it comes to matters.
"Jingzhou's grain and grass will probably be transported to Yangzhou in the next few days. Zhong, you will be in charge of negotiating with Jingzhou so that this batch of grain and grass can reach Yangzhou smoothly. Also, Jingzhou merchants let them camp in Yangzhou's Angen to attract them to Yangzhou. Let’s go!” These are two things, both of which are equally important. With the help of Mrs. Cai and Kuai Yue, we can definitely buy Jingzhou’s grain and grass, but inviting those merchants to Yangzhou to do business is not an easy task. Because Yangzhou is now in a state of waste, it is impossible for these businessmen to move if they don't see the benefits.
"These are the conditions that I, Yangzhou, can come up with!" Liu Mang took a piece of paper from the coffee table on the left. He knew that it was impossible to do business without money, so he showed Yangzhou's sincerity.
Mi Zhu took it and started to read it. The rules and regulations above are official and businessmen! Read, sir! All of these made Mi Zhu raise his head involuntarily and look at the Lord of Yangzhou who was sitting on the chair, and couldn't help but gasp, what a great handwriting.
If everything on this sheet of paper would work. Then the sentence and the gentry governing the world will change, at least a businessman must be added, because Liu Wei elevates the status of the businessman.
"My lord, will everything above be implemented?!" Mi Zhu asked worriedly.
"Can't you, Mi Zhong, understand the black and white text?!" Liu Mang looked at Mi Zhu and said.
"If that's the case. Mi Zhu's words here will definitely make money for the lord, so that I will never be short of money in Yangzhou!" Mi Zhu is not boasting, but really has this confidence. If the above is true, then At least half of the businessmen in the world will gather in Yangzhou. With these businessmen, will Yangzhou be short of money
"I'll leave everything to Zhong Zhong!" Liu Mang nodded, feeling very relieved about this big local tyrant Liu Mang in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
…
In Jingzhou State Shepherd's mansion, Kuai Yue walked out with a smile. Although Cai Mao next to him felt a little uncomfortable, he still left with Kuai Yue.
"Master!" Kuai Yue walked out of Jingzhou State Shepherd's mansion, and naturally a groom came to pick him up. This groom was not from Kuai's mansion, but from Liu Mang. This person is not used by Liu Mang to supervise Kuai Yue, because there is no need for it, anyone can see that he and Kuai Yue are in an alliance, because Kuai Yue is just that one, he and Liu Mang are good friends, and even married Liu Mang's Sister, if there is no relationship between these two families, it would be a ghost.
"Go back and tell your Highness. The matter of grain and grass is done!" Kuai Yue is happy because of this matter. Today in Jingzhou Zhoumu Mansion, the first person who asked to sell grain and grass was not someone else but an official of Xiangyang Guard. As soon as the official came up, he talked about the importance of Yangzhou to Jingzhou. This eloquence is so good that it is amazing. It's almost like saying that without Yangzhou and Jingzhou, it would be destroyed.
Such a word cannot be thought of by this person himself, but the person behind him. This person is an official who came out of Lumen Academy, and the person behind him is naturally the Lumen Academy who is detached from Jingzhou. The founder of Pang Jia Pang De Gong.
Lord Pound's help. Naturally it happened quickly.
Jingzhou Xiangyang City
In the mansion of Jingzhou State Shepherd, there are very few discussions in Jingzhou. Except for major events, Liu Biao will not be here, because firstly, Liu Biao is old and doesn't care about government affairs at all. Apart from an enemy like Jiangdong, there are really few enemies, so the conference hall is basically empty, but today, all the martial arts in Jingzhou are here. Because today Jingzhou has a major event to discuss.
"My lord, Jiangxia, has been fighting in a hurry these days. Jiangdong Sun Ce's subordinates have frequently attacked. Our army has lost more than a thousand and several warships. Zhuge's military division and the hired general are avoiding the battle!" An official stepped forward, facing the lord Liu Biao, who was above him, reported.
"Jiangdong army has been attacking rapidly these days!?" Liu Biao, who is above the main position, frowned. Liu Biao's biggest enemy is Sun Ce. Others, such as Cao Cao, or Liu Bei will not let Jingzhou be taken. Liu Biao cut off Sun Ce because he was afraid of damaging his reputation, but Sun Ce was different. He killed Sun Ce's father himself, but he had a vengeance against his father. If Sun Ce took Jingzhou, he would kill Liu Biao's family Some people talk too much. So regarding the battle situation in Jiangxia, Liu Biao is asking people to give ships to people.
Jiangdong Sun Ce has been in a hurry for the past few days. In the final analysis, it is the credit of Liu Mang's army. Because of the ransom of Jiangdong's second son, Sun Quan, Liu Mang asked for 10,000 gold, but Sun Ce extorted more than 20,000 gold from the gang of Jiangdong gentry. With a big wave of his hand, Sun Ce gave half of the extra money to the soldiers who fought ahead, and threw it into the shipyard for the craftsmen to continue forging warships.
With money, this little overlord of Jiangdong will naturally be self-willed, so in the past few days, under the encouragement of rewards, the Jiangdong army has won a lot, which made Zhuge Liang stunned, and lost thousands of people to avoid the battle.
"What happened to Xiakou?!" Cai Mao on the side continued to ask, the current Jingzhou army has lost most of Jiangxia, Sanjiangkou and Wuchang are in the hands of the enemy, and only Xiakou and Chibi are in the hands of the Jingzhou navy. Well, if Xia Kou made another mistake, then Jiang Xia would have to hand over to others, so Cai Mao pointed directly at the key point and asked.
"Xiakou is safe and sound!" the official replied to Cai Mao, "Because the Zhuge army made a decisive decision, although our army lost more than a thousand, Jiangdong is also suffering, and there are hundreds of casualties! Three warships!"
Hearing that Xiakou was fine, Cai Mao breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Xiakou is held fast, Jingzhou will be safe, and it has nothing to do with him.
"The hired general also sent a letter, asking the lord to send another batch of food and grass!" The official continued.
"Food and grass are needed again!" Cai Mao is the person in charge of Jingzhou's grain and grass. It can be said that Cai Mao is simply a pain in the ass when distributing grain and grass. Although the grain and grass belong to Liu Biao, the grain and grass in white flowers have gone out. Can Cai Mao not feel distressed!
"Didn't you just send out a batch last time? Why are you running out now?!" The food and grass that Cai Mao sent out last time should be able to last until the end of the year, but the time has not yet come, and this gang needs food and grass again.
"General Hiring said in the letter that the battle situation in Xiakou was intertwined. The soldiers were exhausted and their bodies were exhausted. Many soldiers were exhausted. For the health of the soldiers, two meals a day became three meals a day. That's why It makes the consumption of food and grass a little bigger!"
"Three meals a day, you!" Cai Mao was about to retort, what does this exhaustion have to do with you eating more, but before Cai Mao could refute, the boss of Jingzhou, Liu Biao, said, "Yes!"
Cai Mao naturally wouldn't say much when he heard that his boss had spoken. For Liu Biao, a stable Jingzhou is what he needs. As long as the Jiangdong army can't cross Jiangxia, what is a little food and grass? This year is another bumper year for Jingzhou.
"Let me tell my lord that a dam in Jiangling has broken, and the rains have been rapid for the past few days, and thousands of acres of fertile land along the river have been washed away!" Another official reported.
"The fertile fields beside the dam?!" Liu Biao said emphatically, the fertile fields beside some water conservancy measures are all good fields. Such a thousand acres of land can bring a lot of food and grass to Jingzhou. If such a good farmland is destroyed, Liu Biao will naturally frown.
As soon as Liu Biao frowned, some nobles in Jiangling on the side lowered their heads. The fertile land was destroyed and the dam cracked. How could they not know, because they were the ones who did the cracking of the dam. They diverted the river water into their mansion to form an artificial lake, blocking the river in this way, and it was fine on weekdays. Once there was a heavy rain, it would be a disaster. The dams could not withstand the excessive water in the river. In addition, the aqueducts over there were blocked again. Naturally, the river water would overflow, breaking the dams and destroying the fertile fields.
"My lord, the dam is destroyed. Send troops and men to repair it immediately. The Jiangling area will be exempted from taxes for one year, so that the people can recuperate!" Kuai Yue is worthy of being Liu Biao's right-hand man, and he solved the problem for Liu Biao.
Liu Biao was about to roll call and agree, when Kuai Yue's younger brother Kuai Liang stood up again, "My lord, there is one more thing I missed, that is to thoroughly investigate why the dam was destroyed, and what is the reason!" Kuai Liang said with eyes The gentry of Jiangling squinted at the side, "We will definitely punish those who destroy the embankment severely! Make an example to others!"
"How can the dam be destroyed? Of course it's the impact of the river!" Before Kuai Liang could finish his words, the gentry in Jiangling couldn't help it, and refuted it when they came up. It was obvious that they had a guilty conscience.
"Really? This Jiangling dam was built during Emperor Huan's time. After decades of repairs, why is it being washed away today!"
"That's, that's because it's been a long time, it's been a long time!"
"Enough!" Liu Biao rubbed his head. The gentry dug dams on the Yangtze River and built gardens around the water. Wouldn't he know about it? If it really mattered, none of the gentry in Jiangling would be able to escape, so Liu Biao didn't want to talk nonsense.
"Jiangling's taxes can be exempted, and the Jiangling government is responsible for repairing this embankment. Rou, you are in charge of supervision! If there is any violation, you are allowed to kill first and then play later." Liu Biao named Kuai Liang. If Kuai Liang is not added, then It may be even more catastrophic for the Jiangling people whose homes were destroyed by the river. Liu Biao does not collect taxes, which does not mean that the gentry will not collect them. It will be Liu Biao who will not get the money, and Liu Biao will be the one who will bear the infamy. , but with the addition of Kuai Liang, it’s different. Who doesn’t know that Kuai Liang is notoriously ruthless. If Kuai Liang takes a fancy to this, he will really report you to Liu Biao, and even kill you with one blow. You are all possible.
"Yes!" Jiangling gentry pushed it down between bitter faces and Kuai Liang's smiling face.
"Is there anything else important?!" Liu Biao was a little tired. If he had nothing else to do, he would go back to the backyard. The disadvantages of riding a war horse a few days ago were still there, and now he felt uncomfortable all over his body.
Kuai Yue didn't speak, Cai Hao didn't speak either, Liu Biao saw that everyone was fine, so he was about to let his guards help him to leave, when Liu Biao was about to get up, an official knelt down and bowed down.
"Report to my lord, His Royal Highness the King of Shu in Yangzhou wants to see the lord again. Discuss with the lord about food and grass!" As soon as this official came forward, the people below knew who was talking, and this official was not the younger brother of the Kuai family. Well, as soon as he opened his mouth, it showed that it was the opinion of the Kuai family.
I heard the words Liu Mang, king of Shu in Yangzhou. Liu Biao had no choice but to sit down.
"Didn't I tell you about the grain and grass? If there is any, we will release it later. If there is no food, then we will distribute it later, and supply the army in Jiangxia ahead first!" Liu Biao cast his eyes on Kuai Yue who was next to him.
Kuai Yue didn't speak, but Kuai Liang took a step forward, "My lord, our army in Jiangxia only lacks ten thousand stones of food and grass! But what His Royal Highness King Shu of Yangzhou needs are hundreds of thousands of stones. The two should not be confused!" Kuai Liang looked at Liu Biao, implying that what Yangzhou wanted was hundreds of thousands of shi of grain and grass. What Jiangxia needs is less than one-tenth of it, and Jingzhou has more than half a million shi of surplus grain, so why not sell it! It is not perfunctory for you to use Jiangxia's lack of food and grass to perfuse Yangzhou.
Liu Biao frowned, not knowing how to speak. Half a month ago, he still remembered the words he had with Pang Tong. Yuzhou and Yangzhou had nothing to do with him, Liu Biao. Let the two fight to the death. Liu Biao doesn't want to make trouble. Selling grain and grass to Yangzhou will definitely offend Liu Bei in Yuzhou. . It's better not to sell at all.
"Mr. Rou, are you trying to force the palace?!" Liu Biao didn't speak, so someone helped him say, this official stood up, and everyone saw a person from behind him, and that was the Pang family, because this person It's from Lumen Academy. Lumen Academy was subconsciously rewarded with the label of the Pang family, and the person the Pang family least wanted Yangzhou to get food and grass was the second son of the Pang family, Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan.
"Don't dare!" Kuai Liang lowered his head and said.
"If you don't dare, why do you speak to the lord like this? The lord said that there is not enough food and grass in Jingzhou. If there is any, it will be delayed. It's not that my lord is unrighteous, but that I, Jingzhou, can't help!"
"Wang Zong, although I, Kuai Liang, don't read much, don't come here to deceive me!" Kuai Liang used what Liu Mang often said. This Wang Zong is the governor of Jingzhou. It's a coincidence that he is in charge of the job. It is Jingzhou's grain and grass harvest. It can be said that this person knows how much Jingzhou's grain and grass harvest in a year.
Did Kuai Liang read few books? The corners of the mouths of all the people around were twitching. Kuai Liang was almost comparable to a great Confucian. He was a well-known scholar in Jingzhou. They are all blind.
"Wang Zong, let me ask you, what was my grain harvest in Jingzhou last year?!" Kuai Liang made preparations. Even if he didn't know everything about the grain harvest in Jingzhou, he would naturally know it with Cai Mao and his brother Kuai Yue.
"Although it's a good harvest, it's only enough for one state!" This Wang Zong can also speak, and he doesn't give you specific figures, but directly summarizes it in one sentence. It's only enough for one state and cannot be sold.
"570,000 shi!" Kuai Liang took out the specific figure "570,000 shi, Jiangxia's army food consumption was 140,000, and the defenders in various places spent 120,000. Whole!" In addition to the food and grass needed by the army, there is also the food and salaries that these officials need. For example, Cai Mao, a military adviser, is an official with two thousand shi, and there are countless officials in Jingzhou, so the cost is naturally high.
"More than 200,000 yuan a year. I have tens of years in Jingzhou. Even if there is grain consumption, there should be more than 500,000 shi of grain in storage! Is the grain and grass not enough for the king to use? Or is it your king who fills his own pocket and steals grain?" The food in the warehouse has left me with no food in Jingzhou, so I can't sell it to the friendly army!"
"You, you!" Wang Zong couldn't say that he was full of money.
"Kuai Rou, who doesn't know that you have a personal relationship with King Liu Mang of Shu, and your Kuai family is even married to King Liu Mang of Shu. What is your intention to help the King of Shu talk? Do you want the lord to control the entire Jingzhou?" Are they all giving in to each other!" As soon as this Wang Zheng said his words, the Jingzhou Wus below had a lot of discussion.
Originally, borrowing in-laws is a private matter. Even if everyone understands it, you can't say it directly. This king has broken the rules. What the superior fears most is that his subordinates will form an alliance with others.
"Men and women love each other, this is human nature, what's so strange about it! As for letting the lord surrender Jingzhou? Ha ha! Your king is the one who is doing it! How many benefits did the Pang family Pang Shiyuan give you? You insist on obstructing Yangzhou Shu The king buys grain and grass! It is the way to govern the country by making close contact and attacking from a distance. Although Yangzhou is close, it is separated by the natural danger of the Yangtze River. However, Nanyang County is above Jingzhou and goes down the river. It will arrive in half a day, and Liu Bei in Yuzhou is even more ambitious. People, annexing the ally Zhang Xiu, once he gets food and grass again, I am afraid that Jingzhou will be next! And Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan are sowing dissension in Jingzhou, making Jingzhou suspicious of each other, this is the way of troubled times!" Kuai Liang This sentence is not named, but it is to remind Liu Biao, who released the news that Liu Biao went to catch the rape, naturally it is Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan.
"And selling grain and grass in Yangzhou can deter Xiao Xiao on the one hand, and on the other hand, it can prevent Cao Cao, the capital of Xu, from going south in the Yangzhou Alliance!" Kuai Liang's Cao Cao, the capital of Xu, is what makes Jingzhou one kind of thing to think about, and Cao Cao, the capital of Xu, is this. Those who are worried about helping the Jingzhou gentry, some want to hug Xudu Cao Cao's thigh, but some want to resist Cao Cao. Because Cao Cao's reputation is not good, and because Jingzhou is in Cao Cao's hands, don't Cao Cao's gentry want to share a piece of the pie in Jingzhou? And if they want a piece of the pie, they will naturally take it from them. What happened to the Deng family in Nanyang
"Couldn't Mr. Liu of Yuzhou be the Cao Cao of Xudu?! As long as Mr. Liu of Yuzhou is given enough food and grass, Mr. Liu will definitely strengthen his army to resist Cao Cao of Xudu!" The king spoke again, this opening Immediately exposed the intelligence quotient. Kuai Liang glanced at Wang Eng. Kuai Liang said before that no matter how strong Yangzhou is, as long as it has the natural danger of the Yangtze River, then Yangzhou is nothing to worry about, but Liu Bei is different. Nanyang County is now in Liu Bei's hands. Liu Bei can reach Xiangyang as long as he goes down the river. Liu Bei Once the army is strong. Then Liu Bei's threat is even greater. It's good for Liu Bei to resist Cao Cao obediently. If Liu Bei has ambitions, who can resist down the river! What is the reputation of Liu Bei's annexation of allies? Liu Wei even wanted to give our Uncle Liu a better reputation, but he almost divided the matter of how Liu Bei annexed allies to cheat his teammates into a hundred and eighty chapters and went to various places to sing. Even in Yuzhou, if Liu Bei hadn't banned it quickly. I'm afraid Yuzhou will also be a group of people questioning Liu Bei.
"My lord, I think we should sell grain and grass in Yangzhou!" As soon as Kuai Liang spoke, officials there supported him.
The grain and grass sold to Yangzhou is not free, and the price is even several times higher, if Liu Biao is not willing to let go of the granary to sell grain and grass. They were willing to sell it, but it was different for Liu Bei in Yuzhou. A poor guy who wanted food and grass but didn’t want to pay for it. Where can I find such a deal, so these officials immediately started talking.
"My lord, I also think that you should sell grain and grass to His Highness the King of Shu!" Another official stood up and spoke. This person was supported by the Cai family, and he can be regarded as a member of Cai Mao's lineage.
Seeing this person stand up, it means that Cai Mao has also unified, and the gang of grasshoppers all stood up one by one and said to the lord Liu Biao that they should sell grain and grass to Yangzhou. In fact, Cai Mao was wronged. Cai Mao was unwilling to sell grain and grass to Yangzhou from the bottom of his heart, but what should we do! My younger sister has begged me, so I can only help.
The only one standing firm at the scene was the people from Lumen Academy. Liu Biao still didn’t plan to sell food and grass. One more thing is worse than one less thing. The disciples of Lumen Academy over there are also ready to fight with the officials of the Kuai family and the Cai family. It's up to you.
At this time, a person stood up and completely broke the balance.
"My lord, I also think that I should sell grain and grass to His Highness the King of Shu in Yangzhou!" A white-faced scholar stood up and knelt down in front of Liu Biao and said.
"Huh?!" All the people present stared at the person who came, and even the people in Lumen Academy couldn't believe it because this person is not someone else, but the first heir of the Pang family. Pang Shanmin, Grand Duke of the Pang family.
"Grandpa, what are you doing?!" Wang Kangwang was stunned. What kind of situation is this? They were originally united in Lumen Academy and were about to fight with the Cai family and the Kuai family, but suddenly the Grand Duke "Rebellious"
"My lord, I have written a letter to order Pang's mountain people to think that my lord should sell grain and grass to His Royal Highness the King of Shu in Yangzhou!" Pang Shanmin knelt down in front of Liu Biao and said to Liu Biao.
"Pang Shanmin?!" Liu Biao's eyes narrowed, but Pang Shanmin's words had to be considered by him. Pang Shanmin's father was Mr. Pang De in terms of kinship, which was higher than that of Pang Tong.
If Pang Shanmin stood up, it means that this is what Lord Pang De meant.
"I tell my lord that although Yangzhou has a population of one million, it is a waste of time. Although Yangzhou has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, it lacks warships and water troops. Therefore, the battlefield in Yangzhou should be on land, not on rivers. Hou Lvbu and Liu Mang, king of Shu, have a grudge against Jiangdong. This million population is gifted by Jiangdong. Jiangdong is a fierce tiger, and Yangzhou is also a fierce tiger. If two tigers fight, one will die. If I Jingzhou does not sell grain and grass in Yangzhou, Then Yangzhou will inevitably be forced by it, millions of people will break out in war, and Yangzhou will be destroyed. After that, there will be no one to restrain Jiangdong. Jiangdong Sun Ce can occupy Yangzhou Hushiyuan. Resist, what's more. Liu Bei in Yuzhou, Liu Bei and Jiangdong Sun Ce are all allies. Once the two join forces to carve up Jingzhou, my master will have nowhere to stop, and this Jingzhou will be handed over to others! If my master sells grain and grass in Yangzhou. Let Yangzhou Shu Wang Liu Mang and Wenhou Lu Bu survived this difficult time, Yangzhou must be grateful to the lord, Yangzhou can also recover, and Jiangdong Sun Ce, who plots against Yangzhou, will be Yangzhou's first opponent, the stronger Yangzhou is, the stronger I am in Jingzhou in Jiangxia The pressure will be less! A powerful Yangzhou can not only help our Lord suppress Jiangdong Sun Ce, but also serve as a barrier for our army to the north, resisting Xudu Cao Cao's southward move!"
The former barrier to the north of Jingzhou was Nanyang Zhangxiu. But Zhang Xiu almost got up with the old Cao Qingqing, and Liu Wei in Yangzhou would not be like this, because Lu Bu and Cao Cao were really enemies. Cao Cao was almost killed by Lu Bu several times, and Lu Bu was also poor. One point was played to death by Cao Cao. If the two could talk about it, they would have made peace a long time ago, and it is not yet now.
"The stronger Yangzhou is, the more stable I am in Jingzhou! With the existence of the Yangtze River, our army can guarantee safety, and we can even join forces with Yangzhou Liu Wei to destroy Jiangdong Sun Ce!" If we form an alliance with Yangzhou, it is really possible to eliminate Jiangdong Sun Ce Yes, use the Jingzhou navy to contain the Jiangdong navy. But the soldiers and horses in Yangzhou above the land are the real kings of the land.
Pang Shanmin talked eloquently. This analysis simply made Yangzhou the best ally of Jingzhou. If he did not form an alliance with Yangzhou, it would be the biggest loss for Jingzhou. Liu Biao was also persuaded to move around!
The most critical point is the people behind Pang Shanmin, Pang Shanmin's father Pang Degong, the lord of Jingzhou who is above the official position, it can be said that Jingzhou belongs to Liu Biao above the military, but it belongs to Pang Degong above the spirit.
So Liu Biao did not dare to offend Pang Degong. What Pang Shanmin said now does not seem to be what Pang Shanmin said, because Pang Shanmin has always given people the impression that he is Lord Qianqian, and he will not do this kind of conspiracy. Yes, Pang Shanmin's suitable ability is to write books and talk about it. He is definitely a very good teacher when he goes to teach, but if you let him calculate others, forget it. He has been writing under Liu Biao for many years, but he has never said a word.
So these words must have been said by the person behind it, Mr. Pang De. Mr. Pang De has supported Yangzhou Liu Mang, so do we still need to fight for it
"My lord, what Brother Shanmin said made Wang Mou feel enlightened, and then he felt that Wang Mou was simply watching the sky from a well before. This Yuzhou Liu Bei is ambitious, and Yangzhou Shu King is my lord's best ally!" , talking nonsense with eyes open, didn’t blush at all, and sold Pang Tong directly. Now that the grand duke has spoken, how can there be a second duke? . If you don't support Pang Shanmin, who will you support
Pang Degong, who was still near Jingshan Mountain, was lying down and shot. These words were really not taught to Pang Shanmin by Pang Degong. These words were sorted out by Pang Shanmin after recording some words of Kuai Liang. Although Pang Degong promised Liu Mang that Lumen Academy would not embarrass him, he did not allow Lumen Academy to help Liu Mang.
As for why Pang Shanmin suddenly turned his gun, it was because when Liu Mang was investigating the Luokoudu incident, he inadvertently got another clue, that is, another person died in Luokouduzhi, that People are Pang Shanmin's best friend, Tang Yun! It was the death of this person that almost caused war between Jingzhou and Yangzhou. It was also this person who made Pang Shanmin curse at Liu Mang's nose, and even moved Tang Yun's body to Liu Biao's state pastoral mansion, so Liu Biao Mang still remembers! Originally, with Liu Mang's strength alone, he couldn't find out.
But now with the help of the local snakes in Jingzhou, things are different. The intelligence organization of the Kuai family, the Chu army of the Cai family, and Mrs. Cai’s music hall, these three forces and the intelligence department of the old fox Jia Xu, can It is said that Liu Mang can find out all the cases in Jingzhou after several years of investigation. The death of Tang Yun is naturally not a problem. Tang Yun did not die in Xinye, but died on Luokoudu. The person who took the shot was also found out. Although Pang Tong had silenced him at the beginning, Pang Tong missed it, and one person survived. To be precise, he was taken in by Yueguan. Naturally, the murderer could not escape death in the end, but he also told the truth of the matter. The price was that Liu Wei sent people to take this person's family in Yuzhou to Yangzhou for Andu. all over.
Knowing that the person who killed his close friend was his younger brother, how could this Pang Shanmin feel better? Tang Yun can be regarded as a confidant to Pang Shanmin. Where can you meet a confidant in life? If you get a confidant, you will have no regrets to die. However, Pang Tong killed Tang Yun for his own self-interest and planted him on Liu Mang, the king of Shu. went.
Pang Shanmin was angry and angry. It was even more desolate. Tang Yunke also grew up watching Pang Tong. Pang Shanmin was really afraid of his brother's cold-bloodedness, and he was also chilled. So he said these words directly today, which suddenly changed the whole situation, and made Jingzhou Wu, who had never unified his opinions, unify his opinions.
"You arranged this?!" Although Cai Mao didn't speak, he gestured to Kuai Yue with his eyes.
"I arranged it? How is it possible?!" Kuai Yue shook his head with a wry smile. Although Kuai Yue is very capable, it can be said that many people in Jingzhou gave him Kuai Yue's noodles, but this really does not include this Pang's father. Father Pang Degong will not talk about it, and when he meets Kuaiyue in Jingzhou, he should respectfully call him Master Pang. How could such a person sell noodles to Kuai Yue, and his son Pang Shanmin was just in a daze. It would be better if he was Kuai Liang's kind of dazed, this Pang Shanmin is completely a hermit who doesn't care about world affairs. What do you use to arrange for such a person? To him, fame and wealth are nothing but a thing of the past, how can you make him listen to you~!
"No?!" Cai Mao also frowned. If not, then His Highness the King of Shu is really capable. You said you talked about moving Kuai Yue because you and Kuai Yue's son Kuai Ran are best friends and friends. Married my younger sister. Cai Hao's request here is from his younger sister, and this Mr. Pang De, how did he let Pang Shanmin speak for him.
"We ask the lord to join forces with Yangzhou, and protect our century-old foundation in Jingzhou!" Kuai Yue is worthy of being a man, he could see that Liu Biao was moved, and to be precise, Liu Biao compromised, so Kuai Yue immediately hit the iron while the iron was hot, and knelt down. Go down and say to Liu Biao. As soon as he saw Kuai Yue kneel down, the officials of the Kuai family behind him also knelt down. Cai Mao saw Kuai Yue's action, so he had no choice but to kneel down, because after all, the Cai family and the Kuai family were in an alliance. "We request the lord of Yangzhou to protect our century-old foundation in Jingzhou"
Officials from the Cai family and the Kuai family bowed down together, and even the people from Lumen Academy stopped insisting. The grand duke came forward, which shows that it is the master's opinion.
"I'm waiting for a compound military advisor, please don't hesitate to ask me to form an alliance with Yangzhou to protect my century-old foundation in Jingzhou!"
"A century-old foundation!" Liu Biao's eyes lit up. Although he was old, he had to think about his grandson. If he died, who would be the Lord of Jingzhou? Liu Qi, Liu Zong? No matter who it is, as long as Jingzhou still exists, then naturally they can enjoy the glory and wealth of different people.
If the eldest son Liu Qi succeeds to the throne, then Cai Mao and Kuai Yue may be lurking, and if the second son Liu Zong succeeds, then the Cai family and the Kuai family are Liu Zong's best helpers, but this premise is that Jingzhou must Yes, if Jingzhou is breached, then forget about everything. Tao Qian’s two sons ended up not being seen, and Gongsun Zan even burned his family to death. Yuan Shu only has one daughter left.
So Liu Biao has to worry about a hundred years, Jiangdong Sun Ce will definitely kill Liu Biao's family, Cao Cao is not a good person, and Liu Bei in Yuzhou is even more ambitious. Now it seems that only Liu Wei in Yangzhou is the safest.
Liu Wei in Yangzhou has grown stronger, and he can't cross the Yangtze River because of the natural danger of the Yangtze River. What's more, there is a more powerful Xudu Cao Cao beside him. Yangzhou can also contain Cao Cao, and even as Pang Shanmin said, he can also eliminate Jiangdong Sun Ce with Yangzhou, which is also a calculation.
"That's it! Wang Kang obeys!" Liu Biao stood up.
"The minister is here!" Wang Kang clasped his fists and said.
"Wang Kangwu ordered you to count the grain storage coefficients of the Jingzhou granary! Hand it over to the military advisor Cai Mao!"
"yes!"
"Cai Mao listens!"
"The minister is here!" Cai Mao also cupped his fists and stepped forward.
"I'll leave it to you, Cai Mao, to discuss the matter of grain and grass with Yangzhou! The grain and grass will be bought and reported to the government treasury as military funds!"
"Yes!" Cai Mao nodded and left.
