Chapter 30
After Lu Su left, Liu Jue immediately told Liu Biao the results of the negotiation.
Liu Biao listened to this, and said with some concern: "You asked Sun Quan to take out 100,000 stone of grain, if Sun Quan refused, wouldn't it be a situation where the fish died and the net was broken?"
Liu Jue said: "Father doesn't need to worry, if it were usual, I might not open my mouth like this, but now the situation is that we take the initiative." "
Jiangdong, like Jingzhou, is also a good place, but the biggest disadvantage of Jiangdong is that there are countless Shanyue tribes.
The group composed of these Baiyue remnants and thieves may add up to no less than one million, although the organization is very loose and the combat effectiveness is quite limited, but it can't stand too many of them, and it involves too many troops in Jiangdong.
Moreover, in the battle of Wuchang City, the 15,000 troops under Zhou Yu were almost lost.
Without this part of the troops, it may take longer to pacify Shanyue, and if Sun Quan has a little brain, he will never fight Jingzhou at this time.
And although there is a lot of grain for 100,000 stones, it has not yet reached the point where Jiangdong can't take it, in the final analysis, it depends on whether Sun Quan is willing or not.
Compared to these 100,000 stone grains, a hundred skilled blacksmiths are nothing more.
Liu Biao probably also thought of this, so he nodded and said: "Jue'er, what you said makes sense, now we are the swordsman, Sun Quan and Jiangdong are the fish and meat, and besides, I have sent someone to secretly contact those Shanyue leaders and give them some weapons funding." "
Liu Jue was a little surprised, but he immediately smiled and said: "In this way, Sun Quan will feel even more headaches, I'm afraid that by the time the mountains are calmed down, the New Year will have already passed!"
Liu Biao nodded, feeling that his youngest son was more and more reassuring.
"Sun Quan's matter is put aside for the time being. Liu Biao smiled slightly and continued: "Jue'er, your mother has something to do with you, you should go to her first." "
"Yes, my son has taken his leave. Liu Jue didn't think much about it, said goodbye to Liu Biao, and went straight to Mrs. Cai's residence.
When Mrs. Cai saw Liu Jue coming, she immediately showed a happy expression and asked Liu Jue to sit beside her.
"I've discussed with your father in the past few days, and I've picked out a few good women for you, which one do you like the most?" said Mrs. Cai, taking out a few portraits.
Liu Jue didn't expect this to happen, and he suddenly couldn't laugh or cry, but seeing his mother's solemn face, he had no choice but to pick up the portraits of those women and look at them.
To be honest, these portraits are really not very well drawn, and it is difficult to see what I really look like.
"Huh, step trainer?" It didn't take long for Liu Jue to be attracted by one of the portraits, and he only felt that the name of the step trainer was very familiar.
Liu Jue thought for a while, and finally remembered that this step trainer seemed to be Sun Quan's favorite concubine in the future, and she was posthumously named the queen after her death.
Soon, Liu Jue finished reading the portrait, and Mrs. Cai immediately asked.
Liu Jue thought about it carefully, anyway, he didn't know any of the women on these portraits, and the only one he was familiar with was this step trainer, so it was better to choose her.
The history books say that the foot trainer is not jealous and is respected, so it seems to be a good choice.
Moreover, as soon as he thought that the step trainer in history was Sun Quan's concubine, Liu Jue felt an inexplicable bad taste in his heart.
Sun Quan, labor and management not only want to rob your territory, but even your women have to rob you.
So Liu Jue pretended to be shy and said, "Mother, I think this step trainer is very good." "
When Mrs. Cai heard this, she said: "This daughter of the Bu clan is said to be beautiful and beautiful, and her personality is also gentle and virtuous, and she is indeed worthy of my son." Since Jue'er has taken a fancy to her, then I will immediately find someone to talk to the matchmaker. "
Liu Jue smiled helplessly and said, "It's all up to my mother!"
Set a lifelong event, and in the next few days, Liu Jue discussed the current situation with Zhuge Liang while waiting for the news of Pang Tong's return.
Finally, on the seventh day, Sima Hui sent someone to deliver the news that Pang Tong had returned from Jiangdong and was currently living in Pang Zhuangzi in Xiangyang City.
Liu Jue has already obtained Zhuge Liang, and now as long as Pang Tong is recruited again, the purpose of returning to Xiangyang this time will be achieved.
Although there are already talents such as Yi, Xiang Lang, and Ma Liang, they can only be regarded as good talents, and what Liu Jue wants is Wang Zuozhi, who can help the world.
One Zhuge Liang is not enough, Liu Jue must recruit Pang Tong.
Liu Jue didn't delay for a moment, only took Zhao Long and Zhang Sheng, and rode straight to Sima Hui's Zhuangzi.
The gate of Sima Hui Zhuangzi was open, and there were two servants standing outside the door, and when they saw Liu Jue coming on horseback, they immediately greeted him.
Sima Hui knew Liu Jue quite well, and knew that after Liu Jue got the news, he would definitely rush over as soon as possible, and sent servants to wait outside the door.
Under the leadership of the servant, Liu Jue walked into Zhuangzi and came to Sima Hui's study.
In the study, Sima Hui was reading with a bamboo slip, and when he heard the sound of eager footsteps outside, he couldn't help but smile.
Liu Jue walked into the study, arched his hand towards Sima Hui and said, "I've seen Mr. Shuijing!"
Sima Hui said with a smile: "Liu Gongzi is really thirsty for talent, and after receiving the news, he came so quickly. "
Liu Jue laughed and said: "If you don't hurry up, you can't do it! Talents are precious, and if you slow down, it's someone else's, and please ask Mr. to introduce me immediately." "
Sima Hui smiled: "Of course this is no problem, but after Pang Tong came back this time, he seems to be intending to go to Jiangdong to make a career, whether you can stop him depends on your ability, son." "
"What?" Liu Jue was a little surprised, but he didn't expect Pang Tong to decide to go to Jiangdong as he did in history.
However, in history, Pang Tong was in Jiangdong, and he was only a small gong under Zhou Yu's account, and he was not reused by Sun Quan, otherwise he would not have gone to Liu Bei later.
"But I've got it all in Wolong, and I'm afraid I won't get your phoenix?"
Liu Jue thought so in his heart, and immediately said to Sima Hui: "Please also ask Mr. to take me to see Pang Tong immediately!"
