"I have also heard that there are Yizhou and Danzhou overseas. In the past, the First Emperor sent Xu Fu to lead five boys and girls to Danzhou, but there was no news again."

Sun Quan shook his head and smiled, "A few years ago, overseas people who claimed to be Danzhou came to Kuaiji County to buy goods. It is said that there are tens of thousands of households in Danzhou, which are thousands of miles away. I guess Danzhou should be the Japanese slave country who came to pay tribute during the reign of Emperor Guangwu.

As for Yizhou, fishermen often mention that there is a large island several miles east of Jian'an County, and there are many natives living there. However, Jian'an County has not taken it and there is no plan to capture this large island for the time being."

Speaking of this, Sun Quan glanced at Liu Jing and smiled and said, "Are you interested in it?"

Liu Jing nodded, "I'm really interested in it, my brother."

Sun Quan narrowed his eyes and smiled, "If my brother is interested, I will give you Yizhou. I will also send someone to help me take Yizhou, how about it?"

"How can you be so embarrassed?"

Liu Jing called out casually, but he was thinking quickly in his heart. He didn't understand why Sun Quan became so big. He had to start from Jian'an County to take Yizhou, and needed the logistics supply of Jian'an County. Isn't Sun Quan afraid that he would gain a foothold in the southeast?

Of course, Sun Quan knew the consequences of giving Yizhou to Liu Jing, but that was a long-term matter. He wanted to solve the urgent problem now. He smiled and said, "If my brother feels embarrassed, then let's talk about how Yuzhang County is."

Only then did Liu Jing understand what Sun Quan meant. It turned out that Sun Quan was still trying to attack Yuzhang County. He smiled without saying a word: "Brother, please tell me."

"What I mean is that Yuzhang County is actually not important to the virtuous brother, but it is very good to Jiangdong. I suggest giving it to Jiangdong, but I don't let my virtuous brother suffer. I can use two conditions to exchange it. I wonder if we can talk about it again."

"Brother, please continue, I'll listen carefully."

Seeing that Liu Jing did not refuse, a glimmer of hope suddenly arose in his heart and said, "One condition is Yizhou, I have agreed just now, and I guess I am also interested in the other condition, which is the Yangtze River Waterway. I can assign the Yangtze River Waterway west of Ankou to Jingzhou, that is, on the Yangtze River, we use Ankou as the boundary, and Yuzhang County returns to Jiangdong."

In fact, Liu Jing was not considering Yizhou, and the Xiying Islands between Yizhou and Jian'an County are about 500 miles away from the mainland and Yizhouli, which is the Penghu Islands in later generations. If he could establish a logistics supply point there, it would be a crucial step for him to seize the southeast coast in the future.

Although Yuzhang County is a large southern county with a large population and a relatively developed economy, if Liu Jingzhi is not in the south, Yuzhang County is only an important strategic buffer zone for him. However, Liu Jing also knew that Yuzhang County is indeed very important for Jiangdong, which is determined to develop in the south.

If Yuzhang County is exchanged for the foundation of the southeast coast, it seems to be a little unprofitable. More importantly, it is another great achievement for him to incorporate Yizhou into the Central Plains from then on. In contrast, Yuzhang County seems insignificant.

What's more, Sun Quan promised to give the Yangtze River waterway about five miles west of Ankou to Jingzhou, which further deepened the safety of Jiangxia. Of course, the strategic location of Yuzhang County is also very important. If Jiangdong wants to be taken away, it must not threaten the safety of Changsha County.

Thinking of this, Liu Jing smiled happily and said, "The reason I want Yuzhang County is to ensure the safety of Changsha. If Jiangdong promises not to station troops in Yuzhang County and only conducts administrative jurisdiction, we can talk about it again."

Sun Quan was overjoyed. The importance of Yuzhang County to Jiangdong was not because of its military status. In terms of military status, Yuzhang County was far inferior to Qichun County. However, Yuzhang County was the fourth largest county in Jiangdong except Danyang, Wu County and Kuaiji County. Its economic and political status was important. Sun Ben was also appointed as the governor of Yuzhang County.

It can be said that the gains and losses of Yuzhang County are related to Sun Quan's prestige and status. Although the two sides agreed to a settlement in a year, there is no airtight wall in the world. The news of Yuzhang's cede to Jingzhou will sooner or later, which will be a heavy blow to his reputation.

As for Liu Jing's condition that he could not station troops, there was no problem at all. Jiangdong's troops in Yuzhang County never had more than a thousand troops stationed in Jiangdong.

"Then we will make up for it." Sun Quan stared at Liu Jing eagerly.

"In principle, it's decided. As for some details, such as how Jiangdong supports Jingzhou to take over Yizhou, etc., let us go and discuss it."

A big rock that Sun Quan had been pressing on his heart finally disappeared. He felt extremely comfortable in his heart, patted Liu Jing on the shoulder and smiled, "It's really my sister-in-law."

The banquet held in Ganlu Palace is simple and grand. It is said that it is simple because there is no meat mountain and wine at the banquet. Mrs. Wu is a Buddhist. All dishes are light, with many vegetables, fruits and melons. At most, a little fresh fish and shrimp are placed in front of the guests. The wine is also fruit wine.

But the banquet was very grand. It was made of the best carved tables of red sandalwood, gold croakers, white jade pots with mutton fat, silver plates inlaid with gold wire, white fungus, yellow ear cups, and gold-plated bronze bottles. These were all the show of Shangguan’s family banquets. Not only that, there were musicians and dancers, and only the maids who served the meal were the masters.

Most of the people attending the banquet were Sun's family. Old Mrs. Wu sat on the table, eldest daughter-in-law Qiao sat next to her, and on the other side was Sun Shangxiang, the heroine who was about to get married. Although she should not show up again, if it was a family banquet, she could barely attend.

On the left is the Marquis of Wu, Sun Quan and his wife Xie. Below are two other subordinates of Sun Quan, Xu and Bu. On the right is Liu Jing. Below is the old couple of in-laws and matchmaker Qiao Guo, witnesses Lu Fan and wife Liu, and the commander of the marriage, Zhao Yun, who was also a family member of the man, attended the family banquet.

Mrs. Wu glanced at the banquet and found that Sun Ben had not arrived. She turned around and asked the manager: "Why didn't the patriarch come?"

The manager hurriedly said, "Reply to the old lady, Sun Shou said he was unwell and could not come."

The old lady was a little unhappy. She glanced at Sun Quan. She knew the reason very clearly. She wanted to take this opportunity to ease the conflict within Sun's family, but since Sun Ben doesn't appreciate it, then just do whatever he wants.

"Today is a welcome banquet for Yanqing, and it is also a family banquet. I hope everyone is more casual and there is no need to be restrained."

Mrs. Wu smiled and said to her daughter Shang Xiang, "Go and pour your husband a glass of wine."

There was a knowing laughter at the banquet, which was indeed surprising. Although Sun Shangxiang was nominally Liu Jing's wife, they had not passed the marriage of the church, and they were still a step away from the actual marriage.

According to the etiquette system, they should not meet. Just like a small family gets married, Liu Jing wants to use a big boat to welcome Sun Shangxiang to Jingzhou and then get married. But this is impossible. As a face of Jiangdong, they must get married in Jiangdong and return to Jingzhou together.

This is destined that their marriage is different from that of a small family. Mrs. Wu knows this very well. She hopes that her daughter can meet her future husband more before marriage, so she abnormally asks her daughter to pour wine for Liu Jing, which is actually a kind of win over her future son-in-law.

Sun Shangxiang stood up shyly, and walked slowly to Liu Jing with a white jade wine pot with a mutton fat. Liu Jing's face was also a little red and felt a little cramped. However, he unexpectedly discovered that the long skirt Sun Shangxiang was wearing was actually a light red linen long skirt. He felt a little weird in his heart. What's going on, Jiangdong is also advocating simplicity.

At this time, Sun Shangxiang knelt down in front of him and carefully filled him with a glass of wine. Although her face was blushing and her expression was shy, when she got up, she raised her long eyelashes, and a pair of bright and star-like eyes looked deep at Liu Jing, with a challenging smile in her eyes.

Liu Jing's heart suddenly became warm. If Sun Shangxiang's every move and appearance were no different from that of a lady, but the smile in her eyes was a bit wild and a challenge. He liked such a woman full of personality and challenging.

Sun Shangxiang walked back to her seat and sat down. Mrs. Wu patted her hand with praise. At this time, Liu Jing stood up and smiled and said, "Thank you, my mother-in-law, for holding a special welcome banquet for my son-in-law. I also thank you for your relatives. It is an honor for Liu Jing to join this big family and also for my mother-in-law's favor. I express my deep gratitude to you with this glass of wine."

He raised his glass and drank the wine in the glass, which attracted a lot of applause. With the sound of cloud boards, a group of dancers flirted into the pool, dancing with long sleeves and gracefulness. The maids also kept pouring wine and cloth dishes. They were quite busy. Everyone toasted Liu Jing one by one, but Liu Jing did not postpone it. After drinking five or six cups in a row, his face still remained unchanged.

When Mrs. Wu saw Liu Jing's generous and liked him even more, she smiled and asked, "I heard that the military generals in Jingzhou have emerged in many talents. I don't know who is the best martial arts master in Jingzhou."

Liu Jing smiled: "There are five tiger generals in Jingzhou. The first general is my righteous brother Zhao Yun and Zhao Long, the second general is the veteran Huang Zhong and Huang Hansheng, the second general is Gan Ning and Gan Xingba, the fourth general is Jingzhou famous general Ren Zhongye, and the fifth general is Wei Yan and Wei Chang."

Mrs. Wu did not realize that the general sitting on the attack was Zhao Yun. She then reacted and said to Zhao Yun: "Can this general be General Zhao Long, who is strongly against hundreds of thousands of Cao troops in Changbanpo."

Zhao Yun stood up and bowed, "I dare not act like this in the end."

Mrs. Wu sighed again: "I heard from my husband that the first man said that the world's most powerful general was Lü Bu Lu Fengxian, but there was still a powerful general in Gongsun Zan of Youzhou, who could stand shoulder to shoulder with Lü Bu. This person was Zhao Yun and Zhao Long. When I saw him today, he was indeed a hero."

She poured a full bell of wine into her table and said to the maid: "Take this wine to General Long for me, and I will treat General Long for my husband to a cup."

The maid brought the wine to Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun bowed to thank him, drank the wine, bowed his fists, and sat down.

At this time, Lu Fan smiled from the side and said, "Madam, maybe I don't know that Liu Zhoumu is actually a powerful general who is powerful against ten thousand people. If the five tigers of Jingzhou are ranked by force, he is only behind General Zhao Yun. However, in terms of strategy, I am afraid that no military general in the world can compare with him."

Mrs. Wu was very surprised and laughed: "It turns out that my son-in-law is so humble."

Liu Jing shook his head, "Lu Gong praised me. I have only practiced martial arts for a few days and read a few books. How dare I compete with the world's famous generals and talents."

Sun Quan said a few words to his wife Xie. Xie understood and smiled, "I heard for a long time that the uncle of the provincial governor was known as the eight masters of Jingzhou. He was so proud that the provincial governor must be profound. Can we take this opportunity to let us see it?"

Liu Jing hurriedly pushed him away, but Sun Shangxiang said, "Jun Liu is the lord of Jingzhou, why should he bow his head in Jiangdong?"

After saying that, she looked at Liu Jing with a pair of beautiful eyes and smiled. Everyone persuaded her, but it was hard to let go of her affection. Liu Jing had to nod, "Since that's the case, then Liu Jing is ugly."

Mrs. Wu was overjoyed and quickly ordered her to say, "Come on paper and pen"

Several maids brought to the table and spread paper. Sun Shangxiang Yingying stood up and said, "I am willing to grind ink for you."

She knelt aside and crafted ink for Liu Jing. Liu Jing took a pen and pondered for a moment: "I like Yuefu poetry, especially long and short sentences. I used the heroes of Jingzhou and Jiangdong as the title, and offered the long and short sentences of Yuefu to thank my mother-in-law for her kindness."

He wrote: "The river goes east, the waves wash away, and the eternal heroes are all. To the west of the old building, the humanity is the hero of Jingzhou. The rocks penetrate the sky, the waves slam the shore, and thousands of snow are rolled up. The country is like a painting, and there are so many heroes at the moment."

He wrote a stroke and immediately cheered. Old Qiao Guostro stroked his beard and praised: "What a landscape like a painting, and there are so many heroes at the moment. If you don't have the mind of the world, it is difficult to write this Yuefu poem, which is wonderful."

Sun Quan was also amazed in his heart, and he asked with a smile: "What a hero from Jingzhou, Chibi, but I don't know where I am Jiangdong."

Liu Jing smiled slightly and continued to write: I remember that when Jiangdong was married, two horses were first married, with heroic hair, feather fan and scarpment. While chatting and laughing, the masts and oars were destroyed. The homeland was wandering, and the affectionate one should laugh at me, and she would have a bright hair. Life is like a dream, and one will be reborn as the moon in the river.
