"The great Han Dynasty's Jiaozhou Mu, who is engaged in Mi Zhu, pays homage to Longdu Tinghou!"

In Jiaozhi County, Jiaozhou, Mi Zhu looked at Longdu Pavilion in front of him, and Shi Xie, the prefect of Jiaozhi, showed a smile.

"Xuzhou Mi Zhu, I have heard for a long time that Xuzhou Mi Zhu is graceful, generous, honest and elegant. Now when I see him, the rumors are indeed true.

Seeing that Mi is engaged in such prowess, if he joins the army, he will probably become a fierce general under Liu Jiaozhou!"

When Shi Xie saw Mi Zhu, he first praised Mi Zhu in front of him without hesitation, and then directly asked Mi Zhu about the purpose of his trip before he could be humble.

"I wonder what Liu Jiaozhou ordered?"

As a powerful man in Jiaozhou, Shi Xie took advantage of Liu Biao's desire to make Jiaozhou a favor to Cao Mengde after Zhang Jin's death, and thus obtained the official position of Zhonglang General of Suinan. At the same time, he was appointed governor of the seven counties of Jiaozhou, and concurrently served as the prefect of Jiaozhou.

Rights.

Later, after Zhuge Liang raised rare treasures for Liu Bei and presented them to the court for Liu Xuande and Wu Chen, Shi Xie immediately followed and transported a large number of rare treasures from another direction into Xudu.<

/p>

This time, Shi Xie got General Anyuan and was granted the title of Marquis Longdu Ting!

Of course, the rewards Shi Xie received cannot be compared with those of Liu Bei or even Wu Chen, but this does not prevent him from becoming the largest force in Jiaozhou.

His power is even greater than that of Liu Bei.

It is such a person who controls the power of Jiaozhou, but he does not seem to have the domineering, cunning and heroic spirit that a prince should have.

If Mi Zhu's every move has an air of wealth that is difficult to conceal, then Shi Xie is not so much a powerful figure in Jiaozhou, but an old farmer with a strong bookish spirit.

It was hard for Mi Zhu to imagine that Shi Xie, the most powerful man in Jingzhou and the man who controlled the power in Lingnan to the point where even the gentleman was stationed outside Jiaozhi County, could be such an old man.

Seventy-two-year-old Shi Xie looks very thin and his face is a little dark, but his appearance is not much different from that of an old farmer who has been farming in Jiaozhou all his life.

But if you take a closer look...the clothes he wears are different from those of other members of the clan. Compared with the gorgeous clothes of the Shi family, Shi Xie is wearing a simple gown.

There seemed to always be a kind smile on his face, and he was humble and courteous to everyone, not just Mi Zhu. Even after Mi Zhu entered the hall just now, he saw that Shi Xie treated his servants in the same way.

In addition, he always holds a roll of bamboo slips in his hand, and he seems to be unable to let go of the scroll....

Such an appearance of Shi Xie made Mi Zhu feel a little dumbfounded.

"Mi Zhu came to see Marquis Longdu Ting today on the order of the lord, just to have more communication with Marquis Longdu Ting..."

"If my guess is correct, is it because of Jingzhou?"

"My lord's nephew Liu Qi is currently in trouble due to the incident in Jingzhou. At the same time, Cao's thieves are about to go south. Our lord hopes to unite with Marquis Longdu Ting to fight against Cao's thieves!"

"Gong Cao is the pillar of the imperial court..."

"But Thief Cao will not let Marquis Long Duting continue to live in Jiaozhou."

Of course Mi Zhu knew that Shi Xie was unwilling to offend Cao Mengde. After all, he was so old and the situation in the world had become so clear.

Shi Xie doesn't want to fight with Cao Mengde, let alone antagonize him. This is inevitable.

But Mi Zhu is more aware of one thing. Now that it has reached this point, Shi Xie does not want to let the bright future of the Shi family become a thing of the past.

Even the Shi family completely disappeared...

"This Jiaozhou...is a good place..."

"Of course Jiaozhou is a good place, and Jiaozhou cannot be separated from Marquis Long Duting." Mi Zhu lowered his head and chuckled, "So in the next period of time, I will ask Marquis Long Duting to manage the place in Jiaozhou..."

"Jiaozhou is a good place... I've been here for a long time and I don't want to move anymore." Shi Xie chuckled again, then picked up a glass of warm wine from the table in front of him, then smelled it carefully and put it down.

Go back.

It looks so enjoyable....

In Jinkou City, Shaxian, Jiangxia County, a young scribe also appeared in front of Sun Quan, the lord of Jiangdong.

"Nanyang Chen Zhen, pays homage to General Sun."

"Chen Zhen..." Sun Quan looked at the young man in front of him who was about the same age as him and snorted, "What brings you here?"

"In the name of my lord, Liu Xuande, the pastor of Jiaozhou, I have come to write a letter of war to the general. I will personally lead the troops from Nanhai County to Kuaiji in the near future..."

"Presumptuous!" Sun Quan originally thought that Chen Zhen had come back to ask for peace, and he thought that Liu Xuande would share important events with Cao Mengde for the sake of Cao Mengde's upcoming move south, and then let him have a good talk with him.

But I never thought that Liu Bei would be so arrogant. Faced with the threat of Cao Mengde going south, he would dare to threaten him...

Facing Sun Quan's anger, Chen Zhen was not afraid at all. He just finished his story one by one, and then sent Liu Bei's letter of challenge into his hands.

"If Liu Xuande really wants to start a war with me, he won't be afraid..."

"My lord Liu Jiaozhou is a clan member of the Han Dynasty, so he will definitely not be content with that thief Cao. However, Jiangdong has repeatedly shown kindness to the thief Cao, but he is still in the hands of the thief Cao.

I'm afraid that when Cao Cao's thieves go south, you will all be scrambling to surrender!

We anticipate that we will be in trouble when the time comes, so we might as well kill you here first. This letter of challenge is an ultimatum.

If General Sun is still stubborn, my lord Liu Jiaozhou will definitely kill you at all costs, break through the Jiangdong defense line, and wipe out the Sun family's foundation!"

After Chen Zhen finished speaking, he turned around and left without giving Sun Quan any dignity. Seeing that Sun Quan's generals couldn't help but draw out their sabers and swords from their waists, they wanted to rush forward and kill the arrogant man on the spot.
p>

But Sun Quan raised his hand to stop him.

"My lord, Liu Xuande is so arrogant, and Chen Zhen is so wanton, why not kill him to increase my power in Jiangdong!"

As the reinforcement general, Pan Zhang was Sun Quan's true confidant, and he had nothing to do with Sun Ce at all. He only thought about Sun Quan.

At this time, when I just arrived in Jiangxia, I saw this scene before I had time to fight with Liu Xuande, and I couldn't help but get furious.

Looking at Pan Zhang who looked angry, Sun Quan could only comfort him with words such as "The two armies are fighting without killing each other to show their magnanimity."

However, after comforting him, he still looked at Zhou Yu, wanting to see what he thought of the current situation.

"Gong Jin... It seems that Liu Xuande is not a good person, so I'll wait..."

"Hahaha...hahahahaha..." Sun Quan hadn't finished speaking, but Zhou Yu had already begun to laugh uncontrollably.

And the laughter got louder and louder, and became more and more unrestrained. In the end, I couldn't help but laugh with one hand and slap the table in front of me with the other hand.

"Gong Jin, why are you laughing?"

"Back to my lord..." Zhou Yu tried his best to suppress his laughter, and then bowed to Sun Quan, "General, I can't help but feel a little emotional in my heart.

There are many ways to ask for help, but it is really rare for someone to use provocation.
