I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 544 The general does not accept equal talks
The place where Liu Jian and others settled was the port in Langya Kingdom. It was originally the outlet to the sea, but there was no large-scale fleet coming in. Most of the boats that came out every day were fishing boats fishing in the sea.

Before this, similar to Liu Jian and Guan Yu, there was no fleet led by Zhang Fei that could carry thousands of people into the port.

After Liu Jian disembarked at the port, he looked across the sea, thoughtfully.

When he came, he passed by a large island. If he guessed correctly, it was Lianyungang in later generations, which was Haizhou in ancient times and now Quxian.

If the whole country can be unified, establishing a naval fortress belonging to the Han Dynasty in Qu County here in the future will be conducive to the long-term planning of the entire country.

Of course, in addition to Qu County, including Nanhai and Yizhou, they were all important military areas where the Han dominated the oceans and should not be ignored.

"General, General?!"

Mi Fang's voice pulled Liu Jian out of his reverie.

He looked at Mi Fang: "What's wrong with Zifang?"

Mi Fang hurriedly smiled and said: "General, Fang has found a place for the general's sergeants to station in Xihai County and prepared meals for the soldiers. General, you have been working hard all the way, please come with me to rest." "

"Lao Zifang, please lead the way."

Along the way, Liu Jian asked Mi Fang: "The port where you and I met today to disembark is Langya Kingdom, not Donghai County. I know that your Donghai Mi family has a strong influence in Donghai County..."

When Mi Fang heard this, she was immediately startled and said hurriedly: "Don't dare, don't dare... The Mi family only has a little wealth in the East China Sea, but no power. General, don't think too much..."

Seeing Mi Fang's cautious look, Liu Jian couldn't help but smile.

"That's not the case. Liu is a powerful man in Hebei, rich in four states and Hanzhou outside the Great Wall. How can he still be greedy for your Mi family's wealth? Be open-minded!"

Liu Jian's words made Mi Fang blush slightly. He knew that he was a bit petty and showed his philistine attitude in front of Liu Jian.

Mi Zhu cannot come here to greet Liu Jian in person. I still remember that Mi Zhu told Mi Fang that in front of Liu Jian, he must show the heroic spirit of the Mi family in the East China Sea, and at the same time let Liu Jian see the Mi family's heart for the country and the people. Don't be too greedy and cautious, so as not to alienate Liu Jian.

Mi Fang's subconscious reaction just now was somewhat contrary to Mi Zhu's instructions.

He wished he could raise his hand and slap himself in the mouth.

"Mi is not afraid that the general wants the wealth of the Mi family. The general has misunderstood! As long as it is for the stability of the country and the peace of the world, the Mi family is willing to donate more than [-] million of family property to the general to calm the troubled times and bring peace to the people..."

Liu Jian waved his hand casually and said: "Zifang doesn't have to be like this. Don't forget that back in Yecheng, you were friends with brother Xuande. Xuande's friends are my friends. Between friends, No need to hide your fear.”

"Yes Yes!"

"I just wanted to ask, the place where we landed should be in the Langya Kingdom. Could it be that the hands of your Mi family can reach into the Langya territory? Is it possible that the 4000 men and horses of mine are traveling south from the Langya Kingdom? Don't we need to tell stories about it?"

Mi Fang said: "Returning to the general, if we are in the East China Sea, it may not be easy to settle down, because Tao Shijun himself is in Tancheng. For such a big matter, we must go through the formal official procedures to discuss it with Tao Shijun, but It is not certain what Commander Tao would have done if he had known that the soldiers from Hebei were coming again."

Liu Jian suddenly said: "So, you and your brother designed it to let us settle in Langya...and although Langya country is nominally under the supervision of Tao Shijun, in fact, someone else is in charge, right?"

Mi Fang chuckled a few times: "The general knows everything in the world, so the situation of Langya country must not be hidden from the general. The general is right. Today's Langya country is Zang Ba's sphere of influence, and the governor's office cannot directly intervene." , If the general's troops want to cross Langya, they must have Zang Ba's consent."

Liu Jian said thoughtfully: "What is Zang Ba's current position?"

"Zang Ba was temporarily recruited as a cavalry captain by Tao Shijun. Later, he and Sun Guan, Yin Li and others took advantage of the strategic points. Zang Ba stationed troops in Kaiyang and formed his own force to occupy Langya Kingdom. Although Langya Kingdom is now nominally composed of Tao Shijun supervised and the Prime Minister governed, but in fact it has become Zang Ba’s private territory..."

"In our Han Dynasty, there is no county that can become a private territory." Liu Jian suddenly said coldly.

Mi Fang was taken aback when she heard the words, and then hurriedly said: "General, this place in Xuzhou is not the same as the other places... Back then, yellow scarves were rampant in this place. After Tao Shijun arrived in Xuzhou, he was unable to conquer all the moth thieves. Zang Ba was appointed to pacify the moth thieves, and Zang Ba's power increased greatly because of the pacification of the moth thieves. He dominated Kaiyang, and neither the local commandery nor the governor could control it..."

Liu Jian ignored Mi Fang's explanation and asked, "Who is the King of Langya? Who is the Prime Minister of Langya?"

Mi Fang was stunned.For a long time, no one asked him who King Langya and the Prime Minister of Langya were...

It seems that since Zang Ba ruled Kaiyang, no one has asked him about King Langya again...

"Back to the general, the current Langya King is Liu Rongye, who lives in Yangdu, and Langya Prime Minister Lu Fen..."

"Okay, after today's meal, Zifang, you will serve as a guide and lead us to Yangdu to station."

Mi Fang was stunned when she heard this, and then seemed a little hesitant.

"General, our Mi family doesn't have much property in Yangdu, but we have a lot of substantial property near Linyi, which can be used by the general to organize his troops. General, why should we go to Yangdu instead of going far away? We might as well..."

Liu Jian shook his head and said, "No need, I'll go to Yangdu to garrison troops... Zifang, if I'm not mistaken, your Mi family and Zang Ba should have a lot of contacts in private, right? This time I can take the boat smoothly Is it because you have communicated with Zang Ba beforehand that you can come to Langya and have a way to go south?"

Mi Fang looked slightly embarrassed when she heard this.

"General, in Langya, nothing can be accomplished without going through Zang Ba. This is the rule here..."

"In this case, starting from today, the rules will be changed. It is my business to go to Yangdu to station troops. Why should I care about Zang Ba?"

When Mi Fang heard this, her expression suddenly became tense.

"General, Zang Ba heard that the General's troops had arrived at Langya and wanted to surrender. This time he specially ordered his soldiers to clear the way for the General. At the same time, he also prepared a place for the General to garrison troops in Linyi. He wanted to take this opportunity to surrender to the General. General..."

Before Mi Fang could finish speaking, Liu Jian laughed.

"Look, what I said is that your Mi family must have some connection with Zang Ba. How could Zang Ba be able to stand in one county without the powerful support of the neighboring Langya Kingdom? Besides, Zang Ba's subordinates Soldiers are like bandits who are not engaged in production. If we don't rely on some strong men, how can we raise them?"

Speaking of this, Liu Jian pulled the rein suddenly, and asked Mi Fang with a smile that was not a smile: "Tao Gongzu has not been able to control the Langya Kingdom, and the lands of Kaiyang have been lost to Zang Ba. Is it because of the secret support of your families? ?”

Mi Fang was shocked when she heard this.

He hurriedly explained to Liu Jian: "Although our families have contacts with Zang Ba, it is not for the purpose of causing trouble in Xuzhou. In fact, Zang Ba occupied Kaiyang and cut off the main road between the East China Sea and Qingzhou in the north. Our Mi family The main business is business interests between the north and the south. If the trade with the north is cut off, the family will be in decline... The Mi family has never had any intention of causing harm to Xuzhou. It is just to survive that they have no choice but to associate with Zang Ba. In fact, they are deeply affected by him. Harmful person."

Liu Jian didn't say anything, he just hit the horse whip hard and drove his big green partridge in a hurry towards the front.

Mi Fang stared at his back blankly, but she didn't know what to do.

He didn't quite understand why Liu Jian showed such an attitude.

Isn't it a good thing that Zang Ba wants to take refuge?
Zhang Fei rode up to Mi Fang and said to him: "Mr. Mi, you need to know that my brother is a clan member of the Han Dynasty, an uncle of the emperor, and a hero who helped the Han Dynasty eliminate all the troubles in Mobei!"

"My brother's lifelong ambition is to prosper the Han Dynasty!"

"My brother naturally has his own rules for dealing with local thieves!"

"If Zang Ba sincerely submits and leads his people to surrender, my brother will naturally be willing to accept him and entrust him with important tasks."

"But if he thinks he is the best in Kaiyang and sells it at a reasonable price, and thinks that my brother is determined to make Xuzhou inseparable from him, then he has made the wrong decision."

Mi Fang looked at Zhang Fei blankly, a little confused.

Zang Ba is sincere in surrendering, so how can he wait for a price to sell?
When he was confused, he saw Guan Yu slowly riding his horse and coming to Mi Fang's side, holding the Qinglong Yanyue Sword.

"When my brother comes to Xuzhou, where to meet Zang Ba and how to surrender to him are all my brother's decisions. Wherever my brother will station troops, Zang Ba will lead his people to surrender, and when will he be allowed to surrender? Who has the final say? What qualifications does he have to designate a place for us to station our troops, let alone decide where to surrender!"

"How can he belong to me, Hebei, if he doesn't even know his position clearly? Zang Ba has to figure this out himself before he can make it happen!"
