"Of course, please come in, the Chief Secretary." Although Sun Quan had a headache, he still invited Zhang Zhao in.

Zhang Zhao entered the room, and everyone stood up to salute, and sat down. Zhang Zhao said straight to the point: "Associated with Liu Jing, you will only raise a tiger. This person has ambitions. Once you defeat Cao's army, your power will rise sharply, and you will become a strong enemy in Jiangdong. It is better to plan early. We don't have to send troops. We can provoke Xiangyang to attack Jiangxia from the west. Cai Mao is short-sighted and has a grudge against Liu Jing. If we promise to make a big profit, he will definitely agree. When their furniture is exhausted, we will reap the profits."

Cheng Pu is from Hebei and has never been convinced that Zhang Zhao is the leader of the Northern Sect, but this time they coincided and got together. As soon as Zhang Zhao finished speaking, Cheng Pu responded: "Zhang Changshi's statement makes sense. Liu Jinglang's ambition is the greatest enemy in Jiangdong. I suggest that it is better to take advantage of his visit to Dongwu this time and kill this person to eliminate future troubles."

Seeing that Sun Quan was hesitant, Zhou Yu did not immediately object. He stood up and bowed to Sun Quan and said, "Liu Jing kept his promise and did not expand his troops eastward within the year. This time, the lord personally guaranteed it. If the lord breaks his promise, he will be untrustworthy in the world. How can he plan to build an imperial career in the world? "

Before Sun Quan could speak, Zhang Zhao laughed beside him, "Actually, there is no need to kill him. Keep him in Jiangdong for several years to be a guest of landlords. This is a beautiful thing, what's wrong?"

At this moment, a guard at the door reported, "Report to the lord, Deputy Governor Lu, there is an urgent letter."

When Sun Quan was in a dilemma, he suddenly heard that Lu Su had an urgent letter, and he hurriedly said, "Support the letter."

A guard walked in quickly and presented Lu Su's urgent letter to Sun Quan. Sun Quan opened the letter and hurriedly read it, his face showing a look of astonishment.

Everyone next to him was watching Sun Quan's expression. Seeing Sun Quan's expression surprised, Cheng Pu couldn't help asking: "Master, what happened?"

Sun Quan put down the letter and pondered for a moment: "Cao Cao sent Xun Yu to Jiangxia, and Liu Jing was in ambiguous state."

Cheng Pu was furious, "Lord, since he wants to surrender to Cao, he must be eradicated as soon as possible, the faster the better."

This time, Zhang Zhao did not respond to Cheng Pu, and he also realized that things were not good. If Cao Cao entered the game again, the situation would be complicated. He fell into deep thought and said nothing for a long time.

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "Cao Cao sent an envoy to Jiangxia, which must be for the matter of Cao Hong and Li Dian. There is no big problem."

"But Cao Cao sent Xun Yu, don't Gongjin think the problem is a bit serious?" Sun Quan was a little worried. Cao Cao actually sent Xun Yu, which shows Cao Cao's importance to Jiang Xia.

"Lord, don't worry. Although Cao Cao was willing to let Liu Jing surrender, Liu Jing might not be willing. Is Liu Jing going out now?"

Sun Quan nodded, "The letter said that they have arrived in Wuhu."

......

Unlike Liu Bei, Liu Jing came to Dongwu to take the water. He only brought more than a dozen small warships of five stones, entered Lishui from Wuhukou and walked east along Lishui.

Lishui, also known as Zhongshui, is a medium river that flows through the hilly areas west of the lake. Before the large-scale dredging of the Jiangnan River in Dongwu, Lishui was the only channel connecting the lake and the Yangtze River. Its freight transportation is busy and it is an important golden waterway in the Jiangnan region.

It was not until the 14th year of Jian'an that Sun Quan ordered the capital to be moved to Jingkou and Jianye, and organized a large number of civilians to clear the many rivers in the south of the Yangtze River with dense water networks, which gave new waterways from the Yangtze River to Dongwu and Kuaiji, and the shipping value of Lishui gradually declined.

On the evening of that day, the fleet arrived in Liyang County. As the name suggests, Liyang County is the county town on the north bank of Lishui. It rose due to the prosperity of Lishui's shipping, and at the same time it fell due to the decline of Lishui's shipping.

The Lishui River channel is narrow, with many ships, and the fleet is slow to sail, but the beautiful scenery on both sides is amazing. This time, Liu Jing went to Jiangdong without taking Xu Shu or Jia Xu, but only brought Li Fu with him.

Li Fu's outstanding performance in Yecheng praised Liu Jing. This is a rare talent, full of wise and unrestrained. With him, he can also give advice when he encounters danger in Jiangdong.

In the cabin, Liu Jing was having tea and chatting with Li Fu. Since Li Fu came back from Yecheng, he has already agreed to Liu Jing as the lord. He has realized that the Yuan family will perish, and staying in Jiangxia may be his best choice.

With a belonging in his heart, he naturally had the concern of being a minister. He was a little worried about this trip to Eastern Wu. "My husband, I'm worried about whether Sun Quan would put his house under house arrest and take the opportunity to attack Jiangxia and take Jiangxia into his pocket. Is this trip to Eastern Wu a little risky?"

Joining Jiangdong to fight against Cao was Liu Jing's plan for revival. He had this idea a few years ago. Although there was a Battle of Red Cliff in history, history deviated due to the appearance of Liu Jing. He was a little worried whether history would follow its original trajectory.

Although there were some concerns, Liu Jing believed that the general situation would not change. It was inevitable that Cao Cao would pacify the north and go south. In order to protect himself, Jiangdong would join forces with Jingzhou to fight against Cao.

But some details may change, such as the main battlefield is not in Chibi, or Cao Cao went south early due to Liu Biao's death. Liu Jing cannot grasp the details, but he must seize the general trend.

Liu Jing took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "If there is no plan for peace, there is indeed a possibility. However, if the plan is made, Sun Quan will have concerns. If he dares to put me under house arrest or kill me, Jiangxia will surrender to Cao Cao and will give Jiangdong a fatal blow. Sun Quan is also a talented and stubborn person and will not lose his big fortune because of small things."

"Although Sun Quan doesn't know, it's hard to guarantee that his subordinates will do anything wrong. You'd better be careful."

Liu Jing nodded, "It's really good to be careful."

At this time, the ship stopped. Liu Jing leaned out of the window and saw a small boat in front of him. The boatman was talking to his soldiers. A young man came out of the boat, about twenty years old, wearing a blue Confucian robe and a flat scarf. He was majestic and arrogant.

A soldier rushed over to report, "Your Majesty, there was a young man in front of you asking for a meeting with you, saying that he had been waiting for you for many days."

Liu Jing became interested and walked out of the cabin and slowly came to the bow of the boat. He saw the young man at first sight. Liu Jing smiled and said, "Is this scholar having something to do with me?"

When the young master saw Liu Jing, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "Little student Lingling Jiang Wan, I have been waiting for Mr. Jing here for many days."

Li Fu next to him laughed, "Are you Liu Min's cousin Jiang Gongyan?"

"It's just the little student"

Liu Jing didn't expect it was Jiang Wan. He was a little surprised. Of course, he knew that Jiang Wan, Liu Xian, Liu Min and Zhou Busi had recommended Jiang Wan to him one after another. It is said that this person is one of the prodigy in Jingzhou, with outstanding talents and excellent knowledge.

For this reason, Liu Jing sent someone to Lingling to find him, but learned that he had been traveling, but he didn't expect to meet him here.

Liu Jing quickly smiled and said, "It turns out that you are Jiang Gongyan. Liu Jing has heard of his reputation for a long time. Can you upload it?"

Jiang Wan is Liu Min's cousin. She has been with Zhou Buyi since she was a child. Liu Min studied with Liu Xian. She has a good relationship and is known as Lingling Shaojie. Jiang Wan. Zhou Buyi and Ma Su are also known as Jingzhou prodigy and have a great reputation.

Later, Zhou Buyi and Liu Min went to Lumen Academy to continue their pursuit, but Jiang Wan did not want to be bound by the academy. She went out to travel and went to various places to seek teachers. He had been traveling in Jiangdong for half a year. Not long ago, he heard that Liu Jing was coming, so he made a special trip to Liyang County to wait.

Jiang Wan got on the boat happily and sat down with Liu Jing. Liu Jing poured him a bowl of herbal tea and asked with a smile: "How come Brother Gong Yan is in Liyang?"

Jiang Wan smiled slightly, "I was actually following Mr. Yuan Tan in Dongwu to study. A few days ago, I heard that Mr. Yuan had come to Jiangdong, so I arrived and arrived in Liyang County the day before yesterday and waited here."

Yuan Tan Gong, also known as Gu Yong, a counselor under Sun Quan, was a disciple of Cai Yong. He was talented and upright. Jiang Wan followed him for a month and was considered half a teacher and half a friend.

Liu Jing nodded and said, "Does Gong Yan know about Liu Gong's affairs?"

Although Liu Xian was just a distant relative of Jiang Wan, Jiang Wan studied with Liu Xian since she was a child. Liu Xian was his de facto master and had a deep relationship. Jiang Wan also heard about Liu Xian being harmed by Cai Mao.

Jiang Wan's eyes were dim and he nodded silently.

Liu Jing comforted him a few words and asked, "Brother Gongyan is here to find Liu Jing, what advice do you have?"

"I dare not give advice, I just want to tell you about the internal situation in Eastern Wu and make your mind clear."

Liu Jing and Li Fu looked at each other. He was talking about this just now, but Jiang Wan came to report the news. The two were excited. Liu Jing smiled and said, "Pong Yan's words are like sweet rain. Jing is willing to listen carefully."

Jiang Wan said slowly: "Zhou Yu strongly advocated joining Jiangxia to fight against Cao, but Zhang Zhao and Cheng Pu firmly opposed it. They believed that joining the government was a disaster for raising tigers, and advocated joining Jiangling and Xiangyang to destroy Jiangxia first. Now the two sides have a lot of differences in their opinions, and Zhang Zhao and Cheng Pu's plan was supported by most ministers."

Li Fu next to him said, "Did Gong Yan get the news from Gong Gu?"

Jiang Wan shook her head, "Yuan sighed that Gong was as proud as gold and could not say anything. I have a friendship with Zhang Zhaoci and Zhang Xiu, and I listened to what he said after drinking."

Liu Jing was thinking, and at this time he asked, "What is Sun Quan's attitude?"

"It is said that Sun Quan's attitude is ambiguous and he never expresses his opinion."

Speaking of this, Jiang Wan whispered: "I also heard that Zhang Zhao proposed to put down the public in house and then send troops to attack Jiangxia. I suggest that the public not go to Dongwu. If Jiangdong is sincere, let them come to Wuchang for negotiations."

Jiang Wan's suggestion made Li Fu very much agree, and he also advised: "It's better to go back to Chaisang and negotiate with Jiangdong in Pengze."
