The river was surging and roaring endlessly. On a large ship going down the river, several people were standing on the bow of the ship, watching the passenger ships coming and going. "I didn't expect that in just half a year, the situation in Jiangdong would take on a completely new look. It seems that half of what happened this time has been solved." The leader was about thirty years old and looked quite young. He had a short beard at the corner of his mouth and a whole suit. Dressed in plain white Confucian clothes, although his demeanor is gentle, it gives people a feeling of depression. The two fourteen or fifteen-year-old boys behind him looked youthful and full of joy. They winked from time to time, but did not dare to make a sound. They seemed to be in awe of the people in front of them. Zhou Yu's prediction was correct. Liu Qi had already made preparations for Cao Cao's move south. Therefore, as soon as Cao Cao mobilized his troops, he sent Fa Zheng to Jiangdong to discuss peace. In the past, Song Zhongzi was the envoy to Jingzhou, but this time it was related to the situation in Jingzhou and even the world, so Liu Qi had to be cautious. "Tell me, you two, will Jiangdong agree to form an alliance this time?" Fa Zheng asked, without turning his head and looking behind him. These two people were specially trained by Liu Qi, and they are also among the younger generation in Jingzhou. He is considered a hero. "I heard that Sun Ce from Jiangdong is unruly and proud. He should not bow to Cao Cao at this time. There are many people with lofty ideals in Jiangdong, so we can naturally see Cao Cao's intentions. If I, Jingzhou, are allowed to fight against Cao Cao alone, once the army is defeated, It won't be of any benefit to Jiangdong." Upon hearing Fazheng's inquiry, the two stood in awe, and Ma Di was the first to speak out what he was thinking. Seeing that Fazheng didn't answer, Ma Su couldn't help but feel nervous and thought carefully about whether he had said something wrong just now. Seeing Ma Su like this, Xin Chang took a breath and said respectfully: "The news from Jiangdong in the past six months all shows that Sun Ce is working hard to govern. Whether it is government affairs or military governance, the entire Jiangdong is completely new. If Sun Ce wants to settle down in a corner of the country, But just sit back and enjoy the success, why bother to go to such great lengths to select talents to seriously govern the county? It can be seen that Sun Ce has great ambitions and will never be trapped in Jiangdong by others. This time Cao Cao goes south, it is imperative to form an alliance. If Sun Ce wants to make a difference. , I will definitely agree to form an alliance with my lord." "That's good. Although there is no objection to this alliance, it will take some thinking to make the alliance successful. Cao Cao raised his troops to go south, and the target is Jingzhou. It is obviously impossible for Sun Ce to agree to form an alliance with Jiangdong without paying any price." After hearing what the two said, Fazheng nodded and agreed with what they said, but he came to Jiangdong this time. The purpose is not to simply form an alliance, but to allow Jiangdong to send troops at the minimum cost and to contain as many of Cao Cao's troops as possible. ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ ¡°My lord, the envoy from Jingzhou has arrived.¡± In Sun Ce¡¯s residence, Zhou Yu and Lu Su received the news He rushed over. "Oh, who is it?" Sun Ce was not surprised at all. As soon as the Jingzhou envoy entered Jiangdong, he had no intention of concealing his identity, and his whereabouts were not deliberately covered up. It was not too difficult to find out the whereabouts of these people. "The law is upright, the law is filial and straight." Zhou Yu said. "Fazheng? Is this the person who helped Liu Qi capture the entire Liangzhou?" Sun Ce said in surprise. The name of Fazheng also spread to the ears of various princes after the battle in Liangzhou. For this man who was under thirty years old, Sun Ce had long wanted to see the man who was appointed by Liu Qi as the military advisor of the First Army and led the battle of Liangzhou. "If I remember correctly, this person should be under Liu Zhang's command. I didn't expect that in less than a year after taking refuge with Liu Qi, he would become a person who stirred up the world. Liu Qi's vision is as vicious as ever." Sun Ce sighed slightly. Zhou Yu and Lu Su both nodded. They had no doubts about Liu Qi's vision. From Liu Qi's rise to the present, people who have been used by Liu Qi successively include Xu Shu, Pang Tong, Zhuge Liang and even Fazheng, all of whom were promoted at a young age. Entrusted with important tasks by Liu Qi, these people are always unexpected. The talents and demeanor displayed in every move prove that these people are all amazing talents. " These people actually let Liu Qi be included in his command, which is really unspeakable envy and jealousy. "What do you think?" Sun Ce turned his head and looked at the two of them. Liu Qi's intention of sending Fazheng here was a bit unclear. "My lord, it seems that Liu Qi takes this alliance very seriously. Fa Xiaozhi is now very popular in Jingzhou and is one of the most important people under Liu Qi. Liu Qi sent him here because he obviously wanted to Make sure the alliance is foolproof." Zhou Yu said with a serious look on his face. "Gong Jin is right. This Fa Zheng is difficult to deal with. I'm afraid it will take a lot of trouble to gain benefits from him." Lu Su also nodded. A few people were still discussing how to use this alliance to get benefits from Jingzhou. Strive for greater profits? But this time the envoy from Jingzhou turned out to be Fa Zheng, which made a few people feel a little afraid. "Haha, don't worry about it. This time Jingzhou is asking me for help from Jiangdong. As long as it is within Jingzhou's tolerance, I think Jingzhou will never shirk it. Instead of second guessing, it is better to wait until the law is rectified before making a decision." Sun Ce turned to look at Lu Su: "The reception and negotiation this time will be left to Zijing." "No." Lu Su was surprised, but he still bowed and accepted the order. "Jingzhou is full of talented people, and I, Jiangdong, are not weak either. Gongjin, Zijing, Zibu and Zigang are all capable of taking on their own responsibility. We should let a few more people share the burden in the future." Watching Zhou Yu leave, Sun Ce thought to himself. ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ ¡°Haha, Fa Xiaozhi¡¯s destiny has really been like thunder for half a year. Today, "It's really extraordinary." Outside Wu County, Lu Su led several people and walked towards the city together with Fazheng and others who had just arrived. Although there was no big show of support, there was no omission in the etiquette, which made Fazheng secretly feel in his heart. Surprise. "I have heard the name of Lu Zijing for a long time. In the past six months, Jiangdong's political affairs have been clear and clear, and Zijing's contribution is not small. Speaking of which, I have to rely more on Zijing when I come here this time." Fazheng smiled and didn't care. road. The news that Lu Su was recommended by Zhou Yu and reused by Sun Ce had already reached Jingzhou. Lu Su was no stranger to him, but he didn't expect that Sun Ce would let Lu Su handle the alliance. "It makes Xiaozhi laugh. The city has arranged a residence for all of you, Xiaozhi. Please take a rest after your hard work. We will discuss what Xiaozhi said tomorrow." After taking a look at the Fazheng people, Lu Su said. "Thank you very much." Fazheng and others rushed to Wu County almost non-stop. At this time, they were also holding on to their spirits and had no objection to Lu Su's proposal. Arriving at the inn, Fazheng and others simply freshened up. After a short rest, someone came to see them. "Tell me, what is Jiang Dong doing?" Fazheng was sitting at the table with his hair disheveled, as if he had expected this person's arrival. "My lord, I have been ordered to come here first. Soldiers and horses from all over Jiangdong have been mobilized these days. Even the generals sent out by Sun Ce have rushed back and seem to be gathering their troops." "Oh, that's as expected. It seems that Wu Hou has been prepared for this." Fazheng nodded. The person in front of him was the one he sent to find out the information in advance. Fazheng did not intend to hide this. More detailed information was not easy to find, Lu Su. Even if others knew it, they wouldn't care too much. Sun Ce did not deliberately conceal the matter of mobilizing troops and horses. Just when Fazheng was thinking about how to negotiate with Lu Su, Ma Su and Ma Su quietly left the inn.
