I preached in the Six Dynasties

Chapter 704 Returning to Soochow
On the outskirts of Yizhou, soldiers and horses were mobilized, and the people watched.

Not long after Li Yu left, Zhuge Liang began to plan. He believed that Li Yu could complete this lobbying.

It's not because of how eloquent he is, but because Li Yu has a good thing in his hand-the elixir of death.

The benefits of this thing have not been fully realized. The emperors of the Six Dynasties are not afraid that he will keep a hand. With Li Yu's reputation for so many years, it is really uncertain.

Wherever he goes now, he is a very respectable person.

Longevity is not an ordinary thing, for mortal emperors and generals, this temptation is too great.

Li Yu's aura of refining undead medicine has not completely dissipated, and the action of Tianting's direct dispatch of troops also confirmed from the side that he really knows how to refine undead medicine.

In front of the words "undead medicine", everything becomes negotiable.

On the battlefield, Zhuge Liang held a command flag in his hand. Although this thing is small, it can command thousands of troops in Western Shu.

Liu Bei next to him looked at the generals on the battlefield and asked softly, "Who is the right one?"

Zhuge Liang didn't need to look around the battlefield, but he knew the situation here well, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I have read all the mountains and rivers along the way to Tianzhu. To conquer Tianzhu in the west, it is advisable to divide the army into five groups, and finally join forces at Lingshan!"

Joining teachers in Lingshan, he said it so lightly, Liu Bei couldn't help laughing.After laughing, he twisted his wristband, looked at his elite soldiers, and said, "If the elixir is true, then the mediocre people in the sky and the earth will have nothing to worry about!"

"Tianzhu has a lot of people and the land is fertile. After taking it, I will definitely strengthen my reputation. The West Paradise Pure Land is just a matter of convenience. We sold Li Yu's face and sent Zhang Fei to lead the way, Zhao Yun to lead the way, Huang Zhong to lead the way, Ma Chao led the way, Wei Yan led the way, leaving General Guan to guard Jingxiang, to deter Xiao Xiao, so that I have no worries."

Liu Bei clapped his hands and said, "Good!"
-
Walking in the sky, galloping like the wind.

When he arrived at the border of Soochow, Li Yu kept a low profile and landed early.

There was a small town in front of him. He was very polite and said, "Excuse me."

The gatekeeper was lazily sitting on a chair. Few people came to this place for a year.When he raised his head impatiently, he stood up in shock.

The person in front of him, dressed as a Taoist priest, was covered in golden light, and he was clearly not a mortal at first glance.

"The villain pays respects to the little fairy!"

Li Yuxu gave him a hand, lifted him up with his spiritual power, and said, "I'm neither a god nor an immortal, but an upright Taoist priest Li Yu. I'm here to Dongwu, so hurry up and let me know."

Although this small town is remote, there is a military camp not far away. Li Yusheng was afraid of giving Zhou Yu and Sun Quan an excuse, so he was very polite.

When the pawn heard this, he rushed to report it. Li Yu found a shade and sat up in meditation.

After a while, a general came on horseback and saw a golden light from afar.

He rolled off the saddle, bowed his head, and was supported by Li Yu.

"Master Daoist, this way please."

Although Li Yu abducted Er Qiao, everyone in the Six Dynasties knew about this love affair, but facing such a big land fairy, this little general did not dare to neglect, and brought Li Yu to the nearby area. Camp in the mountains.

Contrary to Li Yu's expectations, this barracks is huge, and it seems that they are also guarding against sneak attacks from Xishu.

The sound of drills in the camp kept coming and going, and Li Yu, led by the lieutenant general, came to the big tent of the Chinese army.

Opening the curtain and going in, a black-faced general came into view. He looked very vicious, and he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Li Yu.

General Pi crawled up to him and whispered in his ear, "This is Li Yu, an orthodox Taoist priest."

When the battalion commander heard this, he stood up straight in fright. This is a difficult person.

"Master Daoist, what's your purpose in coming to Soochow?"

Li Yu coughed lightly and said, "I have some important matters to discuss with His Majesty the Emperor of Soochow. Please ask the general to lead the way."

If this was an ordinary country, he would directly go to the capital to seek an audience with Yukong, but Li Yu had to be more cautious in Dongwu.

When the master heard this, he nodded quickly and said, "Come on, prepare the horse for the Taoist priest!"

"No, you arrange things in the camp, and we will leave in the air."

"Alright."

"By the way, I haven't asked the general's name yet."

The general smiled and said, "What a shameful name, I'm under Pan Zhang of Eastern Wu."

Li Yu thought to himself that Eastern Wu really guarded against Western Shu, this Pan Zhang is not an unknown person, he is considered a fierce general in Eastern Wu.

More importantly, this person is a confidant of Sun Quan's confidant. When Sun Quan was 15 years old, he was the magistrate of Yangxian County, and Pan Zhang began to follow Sun Quan.

Pan Zhang is dissolute by nature and likes to drink.But the family is very poor, and often they can only drink alcohol on credit.When he was drinking, he had no money, and he had nothing to pay back the debt. When the creditor came to collect the debt, he said, "I will pay it back when I get rich in the future."

This old behavior quickly aroused public outrage, and Sun Quan wiped his ass every time.

Even so, Sun Quan still loved him very much, and later asked him to recruit troops to exterminate the bandits.Now Pan Zhang came to his senses, he became addicted to suppressing bandits, and he was a veritable bandit suppressing devil.It's not that he hates evil, but because suppressing bandits is very lucrative, he kills all the bandits every time, and then fills his own pocket with the stolen money of the bandits.Over time, the bandits disappeared from dozens of miles around.

Pan Zhang is very brave and good at fighting, but his shortcomings are also prominent. He may be afraid of poverty when he was a child, and he likes extravagance and enjoyment very much.When he found out about the wealthier subordinates, the old man killed them and embezzled his property.But relying on his good relationship with Sun Quan, he has been protected by Sun Quan, and no one can do anything to win him.

Pan Zhang's arrangement to stay here is an arrangement worth pondering in itself, because it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the Kingdom of Shu would not attack from here.

With such a guide, Li Yu didn't panic anymore. He rose directly from the sky, grabbed Pan Zhang's shoulders, and lifted him up lightly.

Pan Zhang is a general of Eastern Wu, and he is no longer the poor boy who has never seen the world. After he stood up straight, he started talking with Li Yu.

"The Taoist priest came from here, did he go to Xishu?"

"Exactly, I just came from Yizhou." Li Yu smiled.

Pan Zhang's expression changed, he didn't know what he was planning, and he arrived in Jianye City soon.

When Li Yu returned to this place, it seemed that Li Yu had passed away. In fact, he also left a lot of memories in Jianye.

The manor by the river was Diao Chan's former residence, and there was a courtyard not far away, and it was there that he met Xiao Qiao.

At that time, he was forced to feign death by Fang La, and drifted down the river to this place.

When you think about it, it's been so long.

Pan Zhang saw that he was stunned and did not move, so he raised his voice and asked, "Taoist?"

Li Yu came back to his senses and said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for a few years, and Jianye City has become much more prosperous."

Pan Zhang laughed and said, "My lord moved here not long ago, so it is natural to expand the building. In the past few years, construction has been going on, and many palaces and dwellings have been built inside and outside the city."

Li Yu said as he walked, "Your Majesty has worked hard to govern, and you have General Pan and other loyal ministers and good generals. It is really a blessing for the people of Eastern Wu."

Although Pan Zhang had heard about the reputation of being an upright Taoist leader, he never thought that a person who kidnapped Er Qiao and dared to go to other people's territory would be such a talkative person.

Not only did he smile the whole time, but he also said nicely that he couldn't even fix Pan Zhang.

I was a little hostile towards him at first, but it quickly dissipated. Zhuge Liang was right, no matter who it is, it will always give some face to the person who can make you live forever.

When Pan Zhang arrived in Jianye City, he asked Li Yu to wait outside the palace, while he went directly to the palace to find Sun Quan.

Above the main hall, Sun Quan was startled when he saw Pan Zhang.

"Why are you here? Could it be that something happened in Banzhou?"

Pan Zhang shook his head, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, a serious Taoist priest is here."

He knew Soochow and Li Yu's Liang Zi, so he didn't need the two Taoist priests, and directly used Taoist priests.

This is also a common name of Soochow people, they dare not offend Zhou Yu and Sun Quan.

For these two unlucky people, one concubine was stolen, the other was kidnapped by the same person, and I feel angry when I think about it.

Surprisingly, Sun Quan didn't lose his temper. He changed his expression and asked, "Are you sure it's him?"

"It's full of Buddha's light, just like the rumors, it's absolutely unmistakable."

Sun Quan nodded, got up and walked around the hall, winked and said, "Bring him in."

Soon, Li Yu met Sun Quan as he wished, and the latter was very polite after seeing him.

Everyone has to save face, after all, they are still allies.

Li Yu cupped his hands slightly and said, "I have seen Your Majesty."

"Farewell to Daoist Bianliang, and there is more Buddha light body protection. It is really a profound opportunity, which makes people very envious."

When everyone faced Li Yu at this time, they immediately said that this Buddha's light, there is no way it is too eye-catching.

Li Yu said with a smile: "Your Majesty is a lot more heroic, and this Jianye City has a lot more grandeur."

The two chattered for a while, a court lady moved a chair, and after Li Yu sat down, he began to talk about business.

He confided all his plans, and even Jin Chanzi and Xuan Zang wanted to attack Xitian Pure Land together.

When he heard that Liu Bei was going to march west, Sun Quan was mixed. At least the pressure on Jingxiang could be greatly reduced, but he began to worry that Shu would occupy Tianzhu, and his ambition would revive after his power expanded.

He frowned and thought for a long time before he said: "This matter has a lot to do with it. I want to discuss it with Zhou Gongjin and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty."

Li Yu expressed his understanding and got up to leave, "The poor Taoist is at Honglu Temple, waiting for His Majesty's news."

Li Yu got up and walked out of the hall, Sun Quan stretched out his hand to greet the servant, and asked him to invite Zhou Yu into the palace.

In fact, he only intends to discuss with Zhou Yu, the forces in Soochow are deeply rooted, and Sun Quan has been intriguing with the Jiangdong clan.

Gu, Lu, Zhu, Zhang, the four surnames of Eastern Wu, were already local snakes before the Sun family took over this place.

In the Han Empire, there was a practice of monopolizing state and county vassals by well-dressed children. This situation also existed in Jiangdong, and it was particularly prominent in Wu County.Due to the large number of dignitaries in Wu County, and many children of the four surnames seeking official positions, "there are often thousands of county officials".

After Sun Quan came to power, he has been fighting with the powerful families headed by the four big families. His method is very simple and rude, which is to find reasons to kill.

Zhuge Liang is right, Sun Quan is a pragmatic person, he only asks to achieve the goal, and never cares whether the means are decent or not.

This is the case externally, and it is even more so internally. When the four major families are needed, they promote their leaders, and when they are used up, they turn against each other.

Lu Xun's talent could not be concealed in Soochow, but Sun Quan only made him a small official, and even sent him to Bianliang as an envoy to drive him out of the capital.

If you want to say that he can't know people and make good use of them, he is very accurate in employing people at critical times.

What Sun Quan lacks is never vision
