The Three Kingdoms Fight for the Deer

Chapter 118 Farewell to Sun Ce
"There are so many surrendered troops, it may take a long time for our army to completely subdue them, and we need a huge ship to transport them to Danyang County, so I would like to ask General Li to borrow a ship to help our army transport the prisoners to Danyang." Zhou Yu knew that the shipbuilding industry in Lujiang was very important. If they want to transport the captives to Danyang, they need Li Yuan's help.

"I can promise you this matter. I estimate that it will take you two months to transport all the captives to Danyang. During this time, I will provide the food and salaries for your army. If you have any other needs, just ask me. I will help anyone who can." Li Yuan nodded in agreement, and also paid Sun Ce.

"I, Sun Ce, will never forget today's kindness!" Sun Ce clasped his fists gratefully, even trembling with excitement, they were thinking how to ask Li Yuan for food, after all, they didn't have much food, but they had already asked Li Yuan for a ship Yes, it would be too much to ask for food and salary, but I didn't expect to offer them food and salary on my own initiative. This kind of mind is really admirable.

Zhou Yu was also very surprised. He didn't expect Li Yuan to be so generous. He didn't even understand why he wanted to help them. After all, he might become an enemy in the future.

"Brother Sun, I treat you as a good friend, that's why I treat you like this. I, Li Yuan, never care about gains and losses when making friends." In fact, Li Yuan is paving the way for Sun Ce to be surrendered in the future. Starting with force, you can only start with love, that's why he is so generous, this is a routine that wins people's hearts.

After sending Sun Ce and Zhou Yu away, Li Yuan went to rest. The next day, Li Yuan sent all the troops back to their respective camps, but he did not return to Xiapi. He asked Zhao Yun to lead the troops back, and he stayed in Lujiang for no reason. For him, the first reason was that Lujiang was newly established and he needed to sit in the town in person, and the second reason was that he wanted to spend more time with Sun Ce in order to enhance their relationship.

Li Yuan appointed Cheng Yu as the prefect of Lujiang, Yan Xiang as the chief secretary, and Yuan Huan as the admonishment doctor, and asked them to assist Cheng Yu. He also ordered Yan Xiang to be in charge of vigorously developing Lujiang's shipbuilding industry and convening outstanding local shipbuilders to discuss. , How can we build ocean-going ships that can sail from Lujiang to Liaodong.

Although the shipbuilding industry in Lujiang is well-developed, the boatmen were shocked when they heard that they were going from Lujiang to Liaodong, because the journey was quite long, and it would take at least several months to go back and forth. The manpower and food needed were very large, and Also be ready to meet the attack of huge waves at any time, if you are not careful, you will be buried in the belly of the fish.

Although this is a very difficult and dangerous task, the boatmen are all eager to try it for no other reason than Li Yuan has a big reward. As long as the boat can be sailed from Lujiang to Liaodong, every boatman will be rewarded thousands of dollars. Two, as the saying goes, there must be a brave man under a great reward, so these boatmen are willing to try.

Yan Xiang was in charge of building the ship, and Li Yuan asked Yuan Huan to organize the people to build houses, because a fire burned down many houses and left many people living on the streets. This situation must be dealt with. People talk about what foundation.

Yuan Huan was very capable, and he did everything by himself. First, he temporarily built a row of straw huts close to the city wall. people, let them build houses together.

Li Yuan encouraged local fishermen to go out to sea to fish more and vigorously develop fishery. Merchant ships departing from the Lujiang River can transport fish to various places. This commercial route was completed with the assistance of the Mi family. Lujiang's economy.

After arranging these things, Li Yuan asked Cheng Yu to go to Ji Ling and ask him to persuade Ji Ling to surrender. Not only Cheng Yu, but also Yan Xiang and Yuan Huan went to talk to Ji Ling from time to time, hoping to be able to persuade them. Working with Ji Ling, their persuasive power is naturally greater than that of Cheng Yu, but Cheng Yu has to go because he represents Li Yuan's attitude.

After almost ten days of persuading to surrender, and Li Yuan did not make things difficult for Yuan Yao and others, Ji Ling finally agreed to surrender. Following Ji Ling's agreement to surrender, general Liang Gang and soldiers under Ji Ling's command also surrendered one after another. He was very happy after knowing this, and immediately hosted a banquet to express his importance to him.

Zhou Yu felt a little regretful when he learned that Ji Ling surrendered to Li Yuan, because he knew Ji Ling's ability, so he wanted to persuade him to join Sun Ce, but Lujiang was Li Yuan's territory, so he couldn't find an excuse to meet Ji Ling, and although Sun Ce had once The relationship with Ji Ling is good, but since Sun Ce killed Yuan Shu, the relationship between them has begun to crack, and I am afraid it will not be the same as before.

Since Ji Ling took refuge in Li Yuan, Zhou Yu began to speed up the transport of soldiers, because Ji Ling was very prestigious in Yuan Shu's army, and he was worried that the soldiers who surrendered would be affected by Ji Ling and give up submitting to Sun Ce, and ran to join Ji Ling instead. If this happened, they would not be worth the loss. The attack on Lujiang not only lost [-]% of their troops, but also gained nothing.

Sun Ce was not as thoughtful as Zhou Yu. He thought that Li Yuan would not do this, and he was not this kind of person. He would meet Li Yuan almost every day for more than ten days, because Li Yuan was so enthusiastic. There was a big banquet for five days, and he almost ate all the fish in Lujiang. In the end, Sun Ce couldn't bear it anymore and could only tactfully refuse to continue eating fish. He was allowed to eat, but he couldn't have fish. During this time, he was really wronged, because Lujiang's specialty It is fish, so there are fish almost every time.

In fact, not only Sun Ce, but even Li Yuan himself was a little afraid of eating, but in order to maintain his enthusiasm, he still went to find Sun Ce every day, as close as he was, as if he was a brother. In the first scene, you will definitely feel that Li Yuan has a different kind of affection for Sun Ce, and that is the goodness of Long Yang.

Two months later, Sun Ce had transported [-] troops to Danyang, and Li Yuan came to Lujiang Port to see Sun Ce off in person.

"Bo Fu, I didn't expect two months to go so fast. I am very reluctant to say goodbye." Li Yuan held Sun Ce's hand tightly, forcing two tears from the corners of his eyes. How sad.

"Hahahaha, Wen Zhong, although I'm leaving now, after I've pacified Jiangdong, I'll immediately join you to attack Jingzhou, and then we can meet again." Sun Ce laughed loudly.

"With your ability and the help of Brother Zhou, it is not difficult to pacify Jiangdong, but you must be careful in everything, and don't underestimate the enemy. As the saying goes, arrogant soldiers are bound to be defeated. I hope you will remember this." Li Yuan urged, although he knew Sun Ce Jiangdong will definitely be pacified, but let Sun Ce be more careful.

"I will remember what you said!" Sun Ce nodded and replied.

"Okay, time is running out, you wait to get on the road, I, Li Yuan, wish you smooth sailing and success in no time!" Li Yuan patted Sun Ce on the shoulder.

"I accept your words!" After saying goodbye to Li Yuan, Sun Ce boarded a boat with Zhou Yu and headed for Danyang.
