However, Zhou Yu came back from the Wufeng Tower, and just stood there to hear the conversation of the people inside. He thought of Ning Rong who was on the river that day, but he was shocked.

Yes!

Before he revealed his identity that day, Ning Rong seemed to have recognized him.

Afterwards, I chatted with him about the country, and then I found out that he went straight to Chang'an City.

But... If you want to go to Chang'an from Xudu, why make a detour to Yangzhou, wouldn't that be the opposite!

As for the Mi family smuggling food, now that Zhou Yu thinks about it, he is more and more sure, it must be Ning Rong's excuse, maybe he is waiting for him there!

call……

Shock!

"Wu Mu's suicide note... It seems that it's time for the secret mansion to go to Xudu to find out!"

Looking at Xu Shu in the side hall, Zhou Yu muttered to himself solemnly.

"Brother Yuanzhi, King Wu is here~~" Zhou Yu shouted into the side hall, took two steps forward, and walked towards the inside, but his enthusiastic expression returned to his face.

Chapter 826 The Story of Jingzhou

Separating the six counties in Jiangdong, Sun Ce, the little overlord, sits on the southeast half of the country, laying the foundation for Wu's struggle for world hegemony.

After Sun Ce occupied Jiangdong and took over the entire Jiangdong area, in order to consolidate the rule of the Sun family, Jiangdong was divided into six counties. These six counties are Wujun, Kuaiji, Danyang, Yuzhang, Luling, and Lujiang, which are commonly known as The six counties of Jiangdong.

It is not a contradictory word to raise people to meritorious persons and appoint cronyism. On the contrary, under the rule of feudal dynasties, countless overlords and heroes did this in order to maintain their dominance.Sun Ce is naturally unavoidable. Xu Shu had already done his homework before going to Soochow as an envoy. Now the overlord of Jiangdong, Sun Ce, proclaimed himself King of Wu, and he himself was the prefect of Kuaiji. He took his uncle Wu Jing as the prefect of Danyang, and his cousin Sun Ben was the prefect of Yuzhang, and his cousin Sun Fu was the prefect of Luling.

Zhu Zhi from Danyang was the prefect of Wujun, and Zhou Yu, the governor of the capital, also served as the prefect of Lujiang.

Wufenglou, when Xu Shu came down to Wufenglou under the leadership of Zhou Yu, even though he had heard the name of Sun Lang in front of him who was the champion of the three armies, but seeing this with his own eyes, he was still shocked by his heroic arrogance.

"Foreign minister Xu Shu, pay homage to King Wu!" Xu Shu saluted generously.

"Haha...Mr. Xu has also used his sword to fight the world, and he has an open-minded personality. There is no need to talk about those vertical and horizontal theories between you and me!

Since you came here, you also know that Liu Biao and a certain family in Jingzhou are enemies of life and death. Besides, Jingzhou is adjacent to Jiangdong. "

Sun Ce didn't wait for Xu Shu to speak, and said straight to the point.

That heroic, smiling, and open-minded personality made Xu Shu very happy in his heart. He deserved to be Jiangdong Sun Lang. Maybe it was his free and easy sincerity that made the generals willing to gather under his command to serve.

"Your Majesty's words are true! Now that the King of Chu is dying, the sun is setting and the power in Jingzhou has fallen to the sidelines, and Cai Maozhi has too much ambition and talent to take on such an important task.

Therefore, the king of Shu is willing to join forces with the king of Wu to take Jingzhou together to divide the power of the world, and then form an alliance to resist the hegemony of Cao Wei in the north! "

Xu Shu is also an easy-going person, seeing Sun Ce like this, he said it directly.

"Brother Yuan Zhi, my Jiangdong water army is alone in the world. Even if we don't join forces with the King of Shu, we can go to Jingzhou, but I don't know why we join forces with the King of Shu?" Zhou Yu asked aloud, standing aside.

Hearing this, Xu Shu glanced at Sun Ce, and saw that he was looking at himself with a smile in his eyes. He immediately knew that he agreed with what he said, but in his heart, his opinion of Zhou Yu went up to a new level. The status is very high!

"Jingzhou is nothing to worry about, but Cao Cao!" Xu Shu said frankly, "Cao Cao has always been eyeing Nanyang County. Three months ago, he went south to Wancheng. Although he returned in a big defeat, what kind of person is Cao Cao? ? His heart is like a stone, the more frustrated he becomes, the more courageous he becomes, so naturally he won't just sit back and wait!"

When Xu Shu said this, he paused slightly and continued.

"The king of Shu went out of Yizhou to attack the west of Jingzhou, and the king of Wu went out of Lujiang to attack the east of Jingzhou. The two have nothing to do with each other. They are just to establish the established facts as soon as possible and wait for Cao Cao in the north. Therefore, you and I need to divide the area. Don't cause conflicts and misunderstandings!"

Xu Shu's meaning is obvious. One of Liu Bei and Sun Ce is in the east of Jingzhou, and the other is in the west of Jingzhou. Neither of them will let go of the chance of Liu Biao's death. So this requires them to divide the attacking territory, or take Jingzhou quickly. Without giving Xu Du Cao Cao the opportunity to go south.

Of course, there was another meaning. Xu Shu didn't say it clearly, but Zhou Yu knew that even though they had already occupied Jingzhou, someone would always face the threat from Cao Cao, and Jiangxia and Nanjun were the first to bear the brunt.

"Brother Yuan Zhi, I don't know how the king of Shu wants to divide it?"

Zhou Yu and Sun Ce looked at each other and looked at Xu Shu in unison. Now that Cao Cao is very powerful, if they can form an alliance, they will naturally be able to share the momentum with Cao Wei.

"The king of Shu intends to take Nanjun, Wuling, Changsha, Lingling, Guiyang, and the rest of the counties at the king's discretion!" Xu Shu said to Sun Ce with a calm expression.

what?

Zhou Yu stared at the words, how shameless is this?

It sounds like they are taking advantage, but the only ones left in Jingzhou are Jiangxia County and Nanyang County, and Neiwan City in Nanyang County is guarded by Zhang Xiu. In other words, there is only Jiangxia left in Soochow. county.

"Hehehe... The King of Shu has such a big appetite!"

Zhou Yu's words were filled with anger, with sarcasm mixed in his tone.

"The governor of Zhou should understand that the king of Shu has a lot of fine food and is extremely resistant to infantry battles. The four counties in the south of Jingzhou are all land. The king of Shu is also trying to quickly occupy Jingzhou to prevent long nights and dreams!"

Xu Shu was well versed in the skills of asking for a lot of money and paying back the money on the spot. Hearing Zhou Yu's words, he unexpectedly nodded in agreement.

"What Zhou Dudu said is very true. What I said just now is the intention of the King of Shu, but... the seven counties of Jingzhou are coveted. It is really unfair to divide them up like this. I wonder what the King of Wu thinks?" Xu Shu cleverly threw the balloon to Sun Ce .

Sun Ce was different from his younger brother Sun Quan. He led the army to fight, expanded the territory, and his ability was several times that of Sun Quan. Naturally, his heart was full of pride, and the first thing he thought of was force.

"The king of Shu is attacking Nanjun, and a certain is attacking Jiangxia County. As for the rest of the counties, each depends on his ability. The first to arrive wins!"

"so……"

Hearing Sun Ce's words, Xu Shu pretended to be contemplative, but secretly murmured in his heart, he deserves to be called the little overlord, Xiang Yu and Gao Zu made the same conclusion back then, the one who enters Xianyang first wins.It is really the same in ancient times and today.

"So, just listen to the words of the King of Wu! Stay here and return to the tent of the King of Shu, and explain this matter to the King of Shu!"

Xu Shu pondered for a moment, nodded heavily, and said to Sun Ce.

"Hahaha... so, there is Mr. Lao Xu..."

Things went smoothly. Sun Ce and Zhou Yu looked at each other and smiled. Xu Shu naturally smiled too.

"Brother Yuanzhi came from a long way. The King of Wu has prepared delicious food and wine, and I invite Brother Yuanzhi to taste it." Zhou Yu said with a smile.

"Thank you, King Wu, for your kind hospitality, and the guests can do as they please!"

Xu Shu saluted Sun Ce and said that Sun Ce liked him very much because of his open-minded personality.

……

At the banquet, everyone exchanged cups and glasses, Sun Ce and others took good care of Xu Shu, Xu Shu naturally would not refuse anyone who came, thinking that he was also a person who had been in the rivers and lakes back then.

"Yuan Zhi... If the King of Shu and my King Wu become allies, it will be a blessing for the people of the world..."

"What Brother Gongjin said is true, then Cao Cao's ambition is in the world, so we must guard against it..."

Looking at Xu Shu's drunken appearance, Zhou Yu suddenly had an idea in his heart, and whispered a few words to Sun Ce.

Sun Ce's eyes froze for a moment, then he thought for a moment, but slowly shook his head.
