Revisiting Future Path

Chapter 492: Lujiang

No. 492 North and South Lujiang

Wei Dongsheng can also understand Zhou Yu's changes.

Life trajectory is an important part of character shaping. Zhou Yu, who was born in a heyday and Zhou Yu, who was born in a troubled time, must be two completely different images in history. Regardless of the sudden intervention of the seeds of longevity, or the political climate different from the history of the real world, there is a probability that Zhou Yu's choice of destiny will be affected.

Since Zhou Yu wanted to stay in Lujiang County for a long time, it was his natural choice to raise the bandits with self-respect.

This is precisely the trend that Wei Dongsheng has expressed. The limited range of longevity seeds meant that Wei Dongsheng could only cultivate and manage Lujiang County. If Zhou Yu is driven away or combined with Sun Quan to strangle Zhou Yu, Sun Quan will definitely send other soldiers to invade Lujiang County in the north. Since geopolitics destined Wei Dongsheng to be unable to monopolize Lujiang County, it is better for Wei Dongsheng to choose a buffer zone that is willing to coexist peacefully with him.

As for the relatively precious seeds of longevity, Wei Dongsheng has no exclusive ideas.

Summarizing data from 190 to 200 years, Wei Dongsheng was surprised to find that the total number of longevity seeds fits the exponential growth data model, with an annual increase of 0.05 power. The initial base number of 16 in 190 can be regarded as the 4th power of 2; the total of 19 in 195 can be simplified to the 4.25 power of 2 and then rounded; the total of 22 in 200 can be simplified to the 4.5 power of 2 Take the whole number again, and so on. As we all know, the exponential growth rate is very terrifying. If the data model does not change halfway, there will be 32 longevity seeds in 210, 64 longevity seeds in 230, 128 longevity seeds in 250, and 270. 256 longevity seeds. In the future, the growth rate of longevity seeds is more terrifying, and the more longevity seeds, the less valuable they are.

It may not make sense to monopolize longevity seeds.

At best, Wei Dongsheng can use his time advantage to gain an early level advantage.

Wei Dongsheng is now a Level 3 immortal, only a short distance from the level 4 limit. Why bother to risk greedily dominating all the seeds of longevity? As long as Zhou Yu is willing to coexist peacefully, Wei Dongsheng tolerates Zhou Yu's establishment of a private longevity force.

As a result, raising the bandits' self-respect became the common demand of Zhou Yu and Wei Dongsheng, and the atmosphere of the meeting suddenly became active.

Zhou Yu knew the reason why he had to bow his head when his strength was insufficient, and he immediately signed a seemingly fair unequal treaty on behalf of Lujiang County in the south and Jueshengmen. The North and South Lujiang County Treaty stipulates that in Article 1, the North and South Lujiang County coexist peacefully with each other. Soldiers in Lujiang County in the north and Lujiang County in the south are not allowed to cross the border of peace. Violators must be severely punished; the second item is Pingyaotang A maximum of 600 people can be maintained in Lujiang County in the south, and a maximum of 600 people in Yibaoying can be maintained in Lujiang County in the north. The third item is that the world outside the Jushenmen Territory (the Dabie Mountains) belongs to the world. Unowned, Ping Yaotang and Yibaoying belong to whoever discovers them first, and compete fairly with each other; etc.

The content of the treaty appears to be fair and just, binding each other equally. However, Zhou Yu's Yibaoying camp has only one longevity person from Zhou Yu, and Jueshengmen now has 11 longevity persons. It is self-evident that the North-South Lujiang Treaty fits the interests of the family.

After the signing of the North-South Lujiang Treaty, the counties of Lujiang County quickly restored peace.

After that, Wei Dongsheng practiced reforming the political and military system of Lujiang County in the north, and Zhou Yu flexibly responded to the military pressure from the north to the south.

Wu Jing and Zhang Zhao tried to defeat Zhou Yu by force. However, Zhou Yu's wisdom is far better than the real world history of Lujiang prefect Li Shu. Zhou Yu has the opportunity to show his strength indirectly through sporadic armed conflicts and frighten Wu Jing's large-scale encirclement and suppression. Sun Quan was afraid that the unsuccessful crusade against Zhou Yu would cause serious trouble, and his attitude has been hesitant.

The stalemate reached December 200, when the Central Plains suddenly heard the news that Cao Cao Guandu defeated Yuan Shao, and the princes swallowed their breath. Focusing on one place in Yangzhou, Liu Fu, the Yangzhou governor who was standing in the Cao Cao camp, suddenly became morale several times higher. Many chaotic forces gradually began to take Liu Fu as the master, which put a heavy pressure on Sun Quan. Seeing that the risk of attacking Zhou Yu was getting higher and higher, Sun Quan had no choice but to compromise to put out the force to win, and acquiesced to Zhou Yu to dominate the southern Lujiang County.

In this way, Lu Kang (extremely holy gate) and Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu and Sun Quan, Liu Fu and Sun Quan, etc., all agree to maintain the peace situation.

Huainan has slowly ushered in a rare peace.

Years passed.

In 203, the situation in Jiangnan gradually stabilized, and Sun Quan began to use troops outside. Supervisor Sun Quan passed through the southern part of Lujiang County and saw Zhou Yu's rigorous and humbly oversupply of grain and grass, so he silently bypassed Lujiang County and attacked Jiangxia County, Jingzhou. However, Huang Zu, the prefect of Jiangxia, managed Jiangxia County as an iron bucket, but Sun Quan's hard work failed, and he was defeated.

After the frustration of Huang Zu, Sun Quan was even less confident to attack Zhou Yu.

In 204, 206, and 207, Sun Quan went to Huangzu three times, but returned without success.

But in 208, the situation changed suddenly.

In northern China, Cao Cao destroyed Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang, and annexed Yuan Shaojie for the first time. After that, Cao Cao further annexed the state, expedition to Wuhuan in the north, and forced Gongsun Kang, who was living in Liaodong to surrender, and gradually swept the world. At this critical moment, Jingzhou Mu Liubiao suddenly fell ill, and the counties of Jingzhou immediately panicked.

Perhaps because of the chaos of the people in Jingzhou, perhaps because of other factors, Huang Zu was also unsafe in the late festival and died tragically in Sun Quan's fifth crusade in the spring of 208. When Sun Quan returned to Poyang Lake in victory, his soldiers pointed at Lujiang County and announced that Lu County, Qichun County and Xunyang County of Lujiang County would be cut away, and a new Qichun County would be established.

If Zhou Yu is willing to accept this decree, the already limited Nanlujiang County will be further compressed, and Sun Quan can calmly knock Zhou Yu off with a slow knife cutting method; if Zhou Yu refuses to sell Xunyang County, this means that he has completely become a confidant, and Sun Quan will simply take it. The might of victory stormed Lujiang County. Facing Sun Quan's soldiers, Zhou Yu chose to compromise and obediently surrendered Xunyang County.

If you can cut the meat slowly, why bother to go to war?

Sun Quan was very satisfied with Zhou Yu's retreat, and immediately retreated.

Zhou Yu was willing to sell Xunyang County, but Jueshengmen was unwilling to simply give up. The news of Sun Quan's setting up of Qichun County reached Heishicheng, and Jueshengmen immediately sent an envoy to visit Zhou Yu to discuss various issues arising from Qichun County's seizure of Xunyang County. Because the effective range of Longevity Seed was initially locked with Lujiang County, but it was no longer changed due to the changes in the territory of Lujiang County. Xunyang County moved out of Lujiang County and was still within the effective range of Longevity Seed. As long as it is possible for Xunyang County to give birth to non-human immortals, Jueshengmen cannot ignore it.

The name of the messenger was Liu Ye.

Not long after Lu Kang took up the post of Lujiang Prefect again, Liu Ye indirectly joined the Absolute Sacred Gate by not taking up the post of official historian. During Wei Dongsheng's practice of reforming the political and military system of the northern Lujiang County, the main guest hall, supervision hall, Dianbing Hall, Dianhu Hall, Dianxing Hall, and Audit Hall were successively added. Over the years, Liu Ye has been gifted with extraordinary treasures, refined advanced level 1 longevity, accumulated meritorious service and promoted to the main and guest hall.

The function of the main guest hall can be simply regarded as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which is fully responsible for the communication between the northern Lujiang County and Yangzhou Governor Liu Fu, Sikong Cao Cao, Lujiang Prefect Zhou Yu, and General Sun Quan.

Liu Ye, on behalf of Jueshengmen, came to Wanxian and had a happy chat with Zhou Yu and Lu Suyan.

Zhou Yu once again demonstrated his broad-mindedness: "Xunyang County belongs to Qichun County, and of course it is no longer restricted by the North-South Lujiang Treaty. Yibaoying has completely withdrawn from Xunyang County. Please feel free to dispose of Xunyang County's affairs. "

Liu Ye overfulfilled the task. He teased like a friend and said, "South Lujiang County has only six counties in total, so one county will be allowed?"

Zhou Yu pretended to look helpless: "The situation is like this, what can I do for it."

However, Liu Ye pointed out Zhou Yu’s careful thoughts face to face: "The county guard wants to watch the world change, right? Cao Cao has already negotiated the northern frontiers, and the front of the army is bound to turn to other places. It coincides with Jingzhou Mu Liubiao's serious illness. If Jingzhou perishes, Yangzhou will not be peaceful. Instead of choosing Xunyang County because of the awkward relationship with Sun Quan, it is better to wait for Cao Cao to fight with Liu Biao and Sun Quan for a result."

Zhou Yu smiled and shook his head: "This is your idea."

Feeling that Zhou Yu was reluctant to talk in depth, Liu Ye immediately ended the topic and started talking about it: "If, I mean, if Cao Cao drove straight to Ping Ding Jing and Yang, will the county guard be willing to surrender without a fight?"

Zhou Yu avoided answering and asked, "Do you think Wei Dongsheng is willing to surrender without a fight?"

Liu Ye: "Maybe, maybe not."

Zhou Yu: "Then my answer is: Wei Dongsheng will drop me, and Wei Dongsheng will not drop me."

Liu Ye pondered for a moment: "I understand the thoughts of the county guard."

Since the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao has won consecutive battles and gradually gathered the power of the hegemon. If Cao Cao can make persistent efforts to win the two states of Jingzhou, he will be able to re-enact the great cause of Emperor Guangwu's Zhongxing Han Dynasty and rebuild the order of Jiuzhou. Moreover, looking back on Liu Bang and Liu Xiu's two dominance of Kyushu, it is easy to control the south with the north, and the probability of winning is as high as 99%. Except for visitors from outsiders who are familiar with the history of the real world like Wei Dongsheng, even heroes such as Liu Bei, Sun Quan, and Zhou Yu, their resistance is purely unwilling to fail and take a fight. There is no guarantee that Cao Cao will win 100%.

Therefore, Liu Ye and others began to consider the future.

This is not to say that Liu Ye had the idea of ​​betraying Wei Dongsheng. On the contrary, Liu Ye was prepared to stick to Wei Dongsheng's surrender or Wei Dongsheng's death. Just like the history of the real world, after Sun Ce defeated Liu Xun, Liu Ye instead of surrendering Sun Ce, followed Liu Xun to the precarious Cao Cao. Liu Ye has traditional loyalty and arrogance. Whether he serves Liu Xun or Wei Dongsheng, he will stand honestly until he is completely defeated. However, loyal to the team returned to the team loyal, Liu Ye of course paid more attention to his life. While loyal to Wei Dongsheng, Liu Ye quietly prepared all kinds of preparations for Wei Dongsheng to surrender and Wei Dongsheng to fight and die. Whether Wei Dongsheng is alive or dead in the future, Liu Ye must live well.

In just two or three sentences, Zhou Yu clearly saw Liu Ye's temperament.

Zhou Yu was unwilling to discuss sensitive topics with Liu Ye, and immediately changed the subject: "Speaking of which, I still have a gift for Wei Dongsheng."

Liu Ye: "Oh?"

Zhou Yu pointed to the southwest direction: "We were driving in Penglize some time ago, and Lu Zijing (Lu Su) and I accidentally discovered a fish monster in the area of ​​Xunyang County. Zhou's identity is sensitive and cannot go to Xunyang County to capture this monster. If you are interested, you can send Ping Yaotang to hunt."
