Chapter 504 Jiangdong Countermeasures(1/2)

The whole Jingzhou was in operation, and the boss opened his mouth to sell grain and grass to Yangzhou. Naturally, the younger brothers below had to let go of the warehouse. The square grain and grass transportation had to start from these granaries. The transaction with Yangzhou was not a small number. The total number of those sold to Yangzhou was 500,000 stones of grain and grass, which was divided into three batches. The first batch was transported first in the early stage, and then 200,000, and the last 100,000 was completed within three months.

As for the price of grain, Mi Zhu, the Yangzhou General Commercial Office, will be responsible for it.

With this person's intervention, the various businessmen in Jingzhou were really stunned.

There is not only rice among the grains, but also some bean and grains. Mi Zhu, a rioter, stuffed rice into the bean drums and rice bran into the rice, turning one stone of grain into one and a half stone. In other words, only ten stones of grain can be paid for ten stones. A group of officials from Jingzhou can only smile bitterly at Mi Zhu's plan. Now it is different from the past. Liu Biao did not speak before, so the officials in Jingzhou can set up various difficulties so that the grain and grass cannot be transported out of Jingzhou.

But now the boss has spoken, and the younger brothers below dare not say much. There was a Pang family carrying it in front of him. Now, the Lumen Academy behind the Pang family has changed its preface. Not only has it no longer hindered Yangzhou, but it also comes to supervise it from time to time. Now, Wang Kang and Wang, the representatives of Lumen Academy, have come to a good opportunity, and they are thinking about sending out the grain and grass in the granary as soon as possible.

Even if there is someone who doesn’t give face to Lumen Academy, then the Kuai family must give face to it.

The civil servants of the Kuai family occupied half of the civil servants in Jingzhou, and the remaining half was Lumen Academy. The entire Jingzhou civil servants seemed to have stood on the united front. Do you think these rice and grain officials have not yet accelerated?

Even the generals came to join in the fun. The generals of the Cai family, except for the Huang family, all came to say hello.

Although Mi Zhu was a little treacherous, he was not too much. Even if the chaff and cereal grains were given for free, this was not the money of these grain officials. They were all from Liu Biao. It doesn’t matter if it’s too much or too little.

The grain and grass in Jingzhou were quickly loaded on the bow of the ship, headed towards Xinye along the Yangtze River, and then went to Xinye City to transport it to Yangzhou. The river and summer were in a state of anxiety, and it was difficult for the grain transport ship to pass.

Liu Mang also began to be busy. In addition to food and grass, he also had to agree on an alliance with Jingzhou. This alliance can be big or small, such as the former alliance with blood. In the north, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao formed an alliance with Yuan Shu and Gongsun Zan and Tao Qian fought against each other.

Just like Sun Ce’s letter, he caused Liu Biao, Nanyang, and Zhang Xiu to send troops to Yangzhou together. Even Liu Biao from Jingzhou also participated. This is a small alliance.

Now the alliance between Jingzhou was mainly composed of the Kuai family and the Cai family Lumen Academy as the supplement, and the documents were officially issued. Such documents required the Emperor and the Queen of Heaven, mainly seals and blood seals as the supplement, and the signatures of their respective representatives.

The representative of Jingzhou is naturally Liu Biao, the lord of Jingzhou. The biggest person in Yangzhou in Yangzhou is the Shu King Liu Mang. Who else has the title above Liu Mang? Even if Liu Mang is the general of the Southern Conquest, it can be said that Liu Biao must be Liu Mang's subordinate, but now it is a chaotic era.

The seal of the King of Shu in Liu Mang's hand is still there, so the two of them can make a written document.

"The land of the Emperor and the Queen can be proved by the heavens, from today!" Liu Biao was older and this place was on the land of Jingzhou, so naturally Liu Biao came to preside over the presidency.

"The nine counties in Jingzhou are above and below, and Yangzhou of His Highness the King of Shu"

"The five counties in Yangzhou are above and below, and the Jingzhou of Liu Jingzhou"

"Watch each other and help each other, if there is any violation of the offensive and defensive alliance, the heaven and earth will punish it together" slid down his palm, killed the rooster, ate the chicken blood mixed with human blood, and the two sides exchanged documents. In this way, the entire offensive and defensive alliance will be completely established.

"Oh, oh, oh!" The soldiers and people from Jingzhou below were cheering. It would be better to have an ally in the troubled times than to have an enemy. If the alliance is strong, the people will naturally be able to live and work in peace. The people of Jingzhou are not clear about the strength of the Lu Bu army, but the soldiers from Jingzhou knew that they had been fighting with Sun Ce in Jiangdong for so many years, and they had never found it. Apart from killing Sun Ce's father, Sun Jian, had no achievements. Now half of Jiangxia is lost. If it weren't for Zhuge Liang and Wen Pin standing in front of him, they were not holding on.

"Please please!" Liu Biao said to Liu Mang with a smile. After forming an alliance, he naturally exchanged feelings with each other in a glass of wine, and this banquet cannot be exempted.

"Please ask for Liu Jingzhou!" Liu Mang also smiled. Yangzhou's biggest problem was solved. From then on, what was left to Yangzhou was a smooth and bright road. Yangzhou also had to accumulate energy. Cao Cao from the north was about to go south, so things had to be rushed.

Lu Bu also sent someone to come, and he was still a general. Chen Gong needed to stay in front of Lu Bu for advice. Gao Shun's dull gourd was just suitable for talking to people. Zhang Liao was still waiting for Liu Mang's reward and was also working on the Western Liang Iron Cavalry. The person sent was naturally Zang Ba next to Lu Bu.

"Young lord?" Zang Ba shook his eyes at Liu Mang. When he was in Kaiyang, Lu Bu wanted to kill Zang Ba, but Liu Mang pleaded with mercy. After that, when he attacked Tianzhu Mountain, Liu Mang said a lot of good things to Zang Ba, which made Zang Ba regain the army. Otherwise, he could only stay by Lu Bu's side and be a charger. Zang Ba and the others didn't like to call him Your Highness the King of Shu, nor was he under Liu Mang's command, so they naturally called him according to Lu Bu's identity.

"Yeah!" Liu Mang nodded as well. With Zang Ba coming, there were three major military generals around Liu Mang, and some things were much easier to do.

After drinking and eating, the relationship between the two parties was zipped. Although Cai Mao's face was still bad, Liu Mang also gave face to honor Cai Mao. In addition, Kuai Yue's instigation from the side, Cai Mao now looked at Liu Mang much more and more liked Liu Mang, and he also smiled at Liu Mang, instead of being stinky.

The banquet ended soon, and Liu Mang got on the carriage, but Liu Mang did not go back to his mansion directly but transferred to a villa in Xiangyang.

When I arrived at the other courtyard, someone had been waiting for him there. He was blonde and dressed in a noble lady's style. Isn't this the mistress Mrs. Cai in Liu Biao's mansion?

"Let your wife wait for a long time!" Liu Mang walked up and bowed slightly to the jade man who had been waiting for him in the courtyard.

"Sit down!" The expression on Mrs. Cai's face was very plain. Although she had been waiting here for most of the day, she had no complaints because she also knew that Liu Mang was at the banquet in Liu Biao's mansion, and her excuse was to go back to her parents' home.

"Is the alliance formed?!" Mrs. Cai asked Liu Mang.

Liu Mang nodded and took out a silk scroll from his arms. It said that the alliance with Jingzhou was the case. The seals of both sides on it had not been thoroughly done. Liu Mang was going to hand them to Mrs. Cai. But Mrs. Cai shook her head and didn't need to.

"Madam has great kindness to my Yangzhou and Liu Mang this time. Mang thanks my wife for the millions of Yangzhou people instead of Yangzhou!" Liu Mang was the truth. If there were no food and grass in Jingzhou, then the only way for the people of Yangzhou would be to starve to death. At that time, Liu Mang would not be able to use some extreme methods.

What should I do next?! "Mrs. Cai looked at Liu Mang, and forming an alliance with Jingzhou was just a plan.

"The next step is naturally to settle the bill with some people!" A trace of murderous intent appeared in Liu Mang's bright eyes. People have been calculating Liu Mang since the journey to Jingzhou, and even Liu Mang almost died on the way to Jingzhou, so now he has settled down. Liu Mang's mission has been completed, and it is time to liquidate.

"The first person to settle the matter!" Mrs. Cai also looked at the strong man in front of her. The murderous intent between her eyebrows and eyes could not be blocked. The decisive killing and the strategic plan made Mrs. Cai a little crazy.

The title is King of Shu, a relative of the Han Dynasty, and his official position is General Zhengnan, with thousands of troops under his command. He can be regarded as one of the heroes in this world and a wishful husband in women's minds. How great would it be if he met him earlier? Mrs. Cai suddenly put aside the unrealistic ideas in her mind. They can only have interests, only interests.

Mrs. Cai reminded herself over and over again that everything that needed to be forgotten on that night was illusory. They were just partners. He wanted to get food and grass from Jingzhou, and Mrs. Cai needed help from Yangzhou to let them sit firmly in Jingzhou after Liu Biao's death.

"The first person is in the Jiangxia army!" Liu Mang narrowed his eyes. When he came to Xiangyang, Jingzhou for the first time, he was on the Luokou Ferry. Liu Mang still remembered that he was almost sent to the bottom of the Yangtze River to feed fish and shrimps. That was because Pang Tong's little turkey and Huang Sho, the little white-faced man actually told the Jingzhou active warship to go to Luokou Ferry. There was a crossbow on it, and Liu Mang was almost shot to death by arrows. Fortunately, Liu Mang used a trick to mix fish and dragons, which made Liu Mang and others escape. On the contrary, Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide might have a hard time!

Even so, Liu Mang could let such an enemy go! Huang Ri! Liu Mang remembers this general of the Jingzhou naval army. Huang Ri is a son of the Huang family and can be regarded as Huang Zu's nephew. Huang She told this person and was ready to destroy himself and others when he came to Xiangyang to accept the new warship.

"This is Jiangxia's military order!" Mrs. Cai took out a blank paper on the edge of the table, with no words on it, only a big seal, with five big characters written on it, Jingzhou Military Advisor Cai.

That's right, this is Cai Mao's general seal. Cai Mao is the military advisor of Jingzhou, who controls 70% of the naval army in the entire Jingzhou, and the remaining 30% are the private army of the gentry in various places and the soldiers of the Huang Zu and Huang family.

If Huang Ri was under Huang Zu's command and in Changsha, then Liu Mang could not do anything to him. Cai Mao's seal was useful in other places, but it was really unpretentious for Huang Zu. Huang Zu was also the only person in Jingzhou who dared to slap the table and argue with Cai Mao.

But Huang Ri is in Jiangxia, which gives Liu Mang a chance to get rid of him.

"Thank you, madam!" Liu Mang picked up the blank military order on the table, and without shyness, he directly ordered people to bring pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and directly wrote on it, "Huang Rizi, a captain of Jiangxia Navy, was a spy in Jiangdong, and mixed into our Jingzhou Navy Army, and ordered people to take it down and kill it to warn others! Cai Mao, the chief general of the Jingzhou Navy Army!"

"Huang Ri?!" Mrs. Cai frowned a little. The Huang family. Mrs. Cai still didn't want to go to many people who had connections with the Huang family. Because the Huang family is also a big family in Jingzhou after all.

"Yes Huang Ri!" Liu Mang also saw Mrs. Cai's hesitation. Women are inevitably like this. They hesitated, so they became a man with a strong and decisive force.

"Madam, after Mr. Liu Zong succeeded to the throne, the Huang family had only two choices: one was obedient and the other was destroyed! So don't think about not offending others!" Liu Mang told Mrs. Cai calmly.

"This is the first one! Huang Shot cannot move for the time being. But there is one person who must die!" Liu Mang narrowed his eyes. It is not the time to deal with Huang Shot. If he kills Huang Shot, he will really be an enemy of Huang Zu. I'm afraid Cai Mao would not agree, and even Liu Biao would ask, that would be a loss.

A letter was quickly whipped from Xiangyang and headed towards Jiangxia.

In the Xiakou military camp in Jiangxia, military advisor Zhuge Liang was discussing military information with General Wen Pin. The Jiangdong Army attacked rapidly in the past few days, which caught the Jiangxia army off guard, and the two were discussing countermeasures.

"Report. Report to the general, military advisor, Xiangyang sent military orders!" A messenger entered the Jiangxia army tent and reported to Zhuge Liang and Wenpin.

"Xiangyang?!" Wen Pin was stunned for a moment. What military orders were sent to Xiangyang at this time? Didn't it happen before? Just half a day ago, Liu Biao's handwritten letters came from Xiangyang, allowing the Jiangxia army to defend the enemy with peace of mind and choose a date for food and grass to arrive, but this was the second one sent.

"Come on!" Although Wen Pin was confused, he still did not dare to delay the military order. He submitted it from the hands of his men, opened the letter, and when he saw it, Wen Pin's brows frowned, his face full of doubt and entanglement.

"What's wrong with the general?!" Zhuge Liang next to him observed his expression and saw something was wrong with Wen Pin's face.

"This is difficult! Military Advisor Zhuge, come and take a look!" Wen Pin handed the military order in his hand to Zhuge Liang, and an angry look appeared on his face.

"Hmm?!" Zhuge Liang took the letter from Wen Pin in confusion and frowned when he saw it, but he immediately understood Wen Pin's anger.

The military order says that there is a Jiangdong spy captain Huang Ri, who is killed to warn him! This is a tendency to slap the face. Is there a Jiangdong spy in the army? He is the commander of the general. You, a general, actually understand. Is this the slap in the face? Isn’t this the slap in the face? There is also the Huang Ri who wants to kill, who is a child of the Huang family. On the lower right corner of the military order that issued this order is the seal of the Grand Governor Cai Mao.

The Cai family and the Huang family are not easy to mess with. It is obvious that the Cai family wants to kill the Huang family.

"This Cai Mao and Cai Degui really thought that the Jingzhou army was all from his Cai family, and they covered the sky with one hand. He actually asked me to kill the captain of my main ship with a letter? It was a joke!" Wen Pin was angry. This was a thankless thing. Killing Huang Ri would offend the Huang family. If Huang Ri would not be killed, then offend the Cai family. This was completely no choice. This was simply killing people with a knife. As for the above-mentioned spies about Jiangdong, they had been completely abandoned by Wen Pin. This was just an excuse, or a ragged excuse.

"Huang Ri, Huang Ri!" Zhuge Liang was chewing on this name. Zhuge Liang had the ability to remember everything, which enabled him to do everything himself. Unclear people would lose to smart people, while smart people would lose to teammates. Zhuge Liang just didn't want such teammates to cheat, so Zhuge Liang did many things himself.

"General Wen, wait!" Zhuge Liang thought for a while, and there was an impression in his mind.

"General Wen, is this Huang Ri a member of the Huang family in Xiangyang?" Zhuge Liang asked.

"Yes!" Wen Pin nodded. Huang Ri was the one who came to say hello to Huang Zu, and Huang Ri was not a person without ability. He was a good player to command the three warships with ease.

"Are General Wen sent this person to Xiangyang more than a month ago?!" Zhuge Liang asked again.

"Yes!" Wen Pin was still nodding. Because of the Huang family, Wen Pin went there exclusively. It would be easier to collect warship supplies. The Huang family is still quite powerful in the army.

"Okay! Come on, please take down the Jiangxia Captain Huang Ri for me. If you disobey, kill him on the spot!" Wen Pin received several affirmative answers. Zhuge Liang waved his hand and crossed Wen Pin and issued an order.

"Military Secretary Zhuge?" Wen Pin was stunned for a moment. He didn't understand why Zhuge Liang did this? It was obvious that the Cai family wanted to kill people with a knife. No matter Wen Pin did this, he would offend people, but Zhuge Liang was rushing to offend people?

"Haha, General Wen, just follow the orders for the general!" Zhuge Liang gave Wen Pin a general reply, listen to the orders? There is another saying that the generals listen to the orders outside the military orders and refuse to listen to them.

Zhuge Liang carried his body over his back. When he learned that Huang Ri had been to Xiangyang, Zhuge Liang became murderous about Huang Ri. Zhuge Liang had been paying close attention to Liu Mang as soon as Liu Mang entered Jingzhou. Zhuge Liang knew about the attack on Luokoudu, but he could not find any whereabouts of the person who went out that time.

Now this military order should be the one who is in Xiangyang now! Zhuge Liang had a good impression of that person, so he naturally helped him to the end. As for Wen Pin's confusion, why did he offend the Huang family? In Zhuge Liang's opinion, if a mere Huang family offends, then offends it!

"Reporting to the military advisor, Jiangxia's captain Huang Ri refused to surrender and resisted with a knife. He has been beheaded by his commander on the spot. This is Huang Ri's head and the military advisor will take a look!" A man wearing general armor walked in and placed his head on the ground. He said to Zhuge Liang that this person was Li Yan.

"Kill?!" Wen Pin was really stunned. He thought Zhuge Liang just wanted to arrest Huang Ri, but he never thought he would kill him directly?

"Okay! Go down!" Of course, it was a killing. Zhuge Liang told Li Yan when he ordered Li Yan that Huang Ri would definitely resist, and resistance was just one word.

...

Jiangdong Army

"What! Liu Biao in Jingzhou and Liu Mang in Yangzhou are joining forces?!" A group of civil and military officials in Jiangdong's army listened to the news in amazement.

"Are you sure this is true?!" A hurried veteran on the side was impatient and went forward and twisted the messenger and asked.

"The old general of the righteous man must not be rude, step back!" Zhou Yu, who was beside him frowned, waved his hand and shouted at Han Dang.

Han Dang is not afraid of others, but in the army, he is afraid of two people. One is the lord Gongsun Ce, and the other is the great governor Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin. He lost the bet at the beginning, and Han Dang had no shame to see anyone. Before, Han Dang started a war without permission, making the Jiangdong army unable to restrain Lujiang Lu Bu and let Lu Bu resolve the trap in Yangzhou. Sun Ce was furious and almost killed Han Dang directly. It was Zhou Yu's love, so Han Dang was afraid and respectful to Zhou Yu. As soon as he heard Zhou Yu speak, he hurriedly stepped aside.

"Back, report to the Grand Commander! This is absolutely true and false!" The messenger was let down by Han Dang and then he relieved and said, "Everyone in Jingzhou knows this. Jingzhou Liu Biao and Yangzhou Liu Mang are in the alliance in Xiangyang, and the offense and defense are stationed together!"

Did the whole Jingzhou know? This should not be fake news.

"How could this be! The people in Liu Bei's hands in Yuzhou are all useless! That Pang Tong and Pang Shiyuan! Isn't it known as Feng Chu? Why can't even stop him?" Huang Gai also spoke, and he was furious as soon as he opened his mouth.

Once Jingzhou and Yangzhou form an alliance, the dilemma of Yangzhou will be completely solved. Jiangdong used to send hundreds of thousands of people. Now half of the millions of people in Yangzhou are the contributions of Jiangdong. If the dilemma is not solved and Yangzhou cannot get food and grass, the people will rebel. The Shanyue tribe sent to Jiangdong will be the main force of the rebel army. Shanyue's combat power has been seen by the people in Jiangdong. Every time Sun Ce goes to war, he must leave tens of thousands of elite troops to guard Jiangdong. Otherwise, Jiangdong will inevitably be in chaos. Once Shanyue rebels rebel, then Jiangdong Sun Ce will be secretly happy, because only these million refugees can be destroyed by Yangzhou, and even Liu Mang's army must follow and compensate.

Once Jingzhou and Yangzhou form an alliance, Yangzhou's biggest problem, food and grass will definitely be solved. Jingzhou's wealth will be coveted by the whole world. Sun Ce from Jiangdong knows the best. Sun Ce saves money for war, and saves money at home. However, in Jingzhou, I have never heard of Liu Biao's savings. Moreover, it is usually Sun Ce from Jiangdong who has the upper hand, winning more than losing less. However, Jiangdong is too short of his strength, but Jingzhou still has a deep foundation.

Once Yangzhou is not short of food, then the conspiracy of Sun Ce in Jiangdong will become a joke. Originally, what Yangzhou lacks most is not food and grass, but population. Yangzhou is deserted for a hundred miles and is no longer the prosperous Yangzhou. The only person who has people is Lujiang County. Even if Lu Bu lets all the people in Lujiang County be soldiers, there are only 100,000 people. What is the battle? The first is money, the second is military ration, the third is population. The Yangzhou army has no population as its foundation, so it is not worth worrying. In terms of strength, it is just a duckweed in the wind, without a steady stream of soldiers. After all, it is a bandit.

But now there is no shortage of food and grass, so Jiangdong's strategy has really become a joke. It was him who gave Yangzhou the potential for war. Jiangdong contributed at least half of the population of a million, and there was also a powerful Shanyue Army. If Yangzhou used this as a soldier and solved the problem of food and grass, it would be a great enemy in Jiangdong.

Sun Ce's face was very ugly. Yangzhou is now not short of food and grass, and there are no population. There are two heavily armored cavalry on the land war. Xiliang Iron Cavalry, Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, and the Black Chess Army City Management Army of the Catching Camp. Thinking of it, Sun Ce's scalp was numb. It can be said that as long as the Lu Bu army exists for one day, their Jiangdong Army will not want to pass the Yangtze River. There was originally a Linhuai City, but now the Linhuai City has also been lost. It can be said that Jiangdong and were banned in this Jiangdong.
To be continued...
