Chapter 2201 Double Dragon Club

Cao Cao did not originally plan to go to Zhuya, because it was too far away and the climate was very different from that of the Central Plains. How could he bear it when he was old?

When he saw the stone carvings left by Zhou Yu, he changed his mind. The pseudo-Han was collectively driven out of Jiangnan. He was about to occupy the magpie's nest and become the master of Jiangnan. How could he not send the original owner here?

If you complete a business order, the buyer and seller can make a gift to make a drink, not to mention that he and the big ear thief are still relatives.

Damn Zhou Yu, if he talks about Xiao Qiao, he won't be angry. He is the winner of this matter, but Zhou Yu does not mention Xiao Qiao at all, and instead ridicule him in the battlefield miscalculation and allows himself to escape successfully. What kind of temper is that Old Cao can't stand this? He will not sleep well without a trip to Zhu Cliff.

He left at will, leaving Gan Meng to continue cleaning the ruins. Cao Cao led an army of 20,000 to the Danhe Highway.

The highways in Jiangnan are not as straight and vertical as those in the Central Plains, turning around and turning, either crossing mountains or crossing rivers. When the Han army left, they destroyed all the bridges along the way, and even many road surfaces exploded large pits several meters deep. It took a lot of effort to pass.

Zhang Liao was moving forward while building roads and bridges in front, so his speed was naturally not fast. In a few days, Cao Cao caught up with him. The two sides joined forces and headed straight for Hepu County, Jiaozhou.

Hepu is now more lively than Jianye. The population and materials of the entire Jiangnan are gathered in the county Hepu City, and then sent to Xuwen County in batches, which is the seaside of Kanjiang in later generations, and rushed to Kushan by boat.

When Liu Bei, who learned that the Wei army was coming, personally presided over the overall situation in Hepu, immediately decided to throw away all the supplies, take people on the ship first, and set off immediately after filling one, without stopping.

The state machine has been fully mobilized, and its power is very amazing. In recent years, the pseudo-Han built several large ports and shipyards on Xuwen County and Zhuya Island across the river. The transport ships built have reached 1,300, each carrying an average of 2,000 people. All of them can carry 25,600 people at one time. There are also Ding Feng, a naval admiral who is familiar with the route, and the speed is amazing.

Of course, this is just theoretically. The transport ship is not a warship. The elderly, women, children and children on the ship are all prone to illness or fear when they go to sea for the first time. In addition, the food, grass, medicine and other materials required for the route, each ship carries 1,000 people to death.

Despite this, Liu Bei, who was ruthless, quickly took all the population of Hepu County on a boat and sent away. As for the supplies, it depends entirely on luck.

After a difficult journey of half a month, Cao Cao finally arrived at the port of Xuwen County, but found a beautiful mahogany tea table in the middle of the port. There was a huge parasol above the coffee table. Under the parasol, an old man in his sixties was leisurely tasting tea at the table. When he looked closely, he turned out to be the fake Han emperor Liu Bei.

Liu Bei raised his head and waved and smiled, "Brother Meng De, do you want to try the authentic Longjing in front of the Rain?"

Cao Cao went up to sit opposite him. Liu Bei picked up the teapot and poured the teacup, and personally delivered it to him and smiled: "Brother Meng De, have you and my brothers not drunk tea together in many years?"

Cao Cao picked up the teacup and sipped it carefully, then he sighed: "It's been more than 20 years. You haven't drunk it again since you settled in Xuzhou. Even when you meet, you are looking at each other from afar on the battlefield. Unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, our brothers are old."

"Who said no?"

Liu Bei sighed: "Looking back to the time when Hulaoguan Alliance, Brother Meng De was so energetic. But I, if it weren't for Brother Meng De's good words, I would probably not even be able to enter the gate of the Allied Army. Today I would thank Brother Meng De with tea instead of wine."

The elderly like to recall the past. The two people who have been fighting for half their lives look at each other's white hair, and they feel a little warm for a moment.

Cao Cao leaned against the chair and teased: "There are only you and me left in the 18 princes back then. If Dong Zhuo and Yuan Shao and others saw this scene today, I don't know what they would think."

Liu Bei couldn't help laughing out loud. He was like walking in the night with wealth and honor. Now they are rich and noble, but there are no ones who want to show off. It has to be said that it is a regret.

After laughing, he said, "You are the only one left in the future. The world will be Wei. I will lose. Today, Liu is alone here. He wants to kill and kill Brother Meng De to take his own actions."

Cao Cao sneered when he heard this, hugged his arms in front of his chest and looked at Liu Bei with a condescending attitude, and asked, "There is no need to hide his armpits at this point, just say anything."

All those who can be moved away in Jiangnan have almost been moved. The fake Han Crown Prince Liu Feng has also become an adult. What is the use of killing Liu Bei except for forming a deadly feud with the fake Han Dynasty.

As for the argument that he wanted to kill and cut, it was just Liu Bei's strategy of advancing and retreating. Who would be willing to die if he had nothing to do?

Liu Bei smiled and said, "In terms of territory alone, the land of Jiangnan is not much smaller than that of the Central Plains, and Yizhou may be even larger. Now that the population of Jiangnan has been moved by Liu, it may take some effort to completely rule Jiangnan. If Cao Wei wants to rule Jiangnan completely, I just think I didn't say anything."

The so-called remote leadership is the nominal rule of the former Han Dynasty over the grassland tribes and the Western Regions countries, and in fact the power is still in the hands of the local government.

Although most of the population in Jiangnan moved away, there are still many Yi natives hidden in the deep mountains and forests. The natives have independent culture and beliefs. If they are withdrawn by the pseudo-Han, the vacuum of the Great Wei's powerless rule will develop, which will be a hidden danger to the Wei and Han dynasties.

Cao Cao understood what he meant and sneered: "What do you want to say? Let's get straight to the point."

Liu Bei smiled and said, "It's very simple. With Panqi County as the boundary, the Wei and Han Dynasties established a never-violent peace alliance. As for the sea area, you will return to the Great Wei in the South China Sea, and Meng Hai will return to the Great Han."

The so-called Meng Hai is the Bay of Bengal in later generations. Liu Bei wanted to completely draw a clear line with the Great Wei.

Cao Cao teased: "What are the benefits of promise you to do to me, Great Wei."

Liu Bei stretched out two fingers and said, "There are three benefits. First, the civil war has been fighting for decades. The people are tired of war and long for peace and need to rest in urgent need of rest. Second, what they eat is their own. The Great Wei has expanded too fast in recent years, and the population is far from keeping up. Many places in the new five states of Liao, Mongolia, Xiong and Liang are deserted. Now there are three states of Yang, Jingyi. Even if they don't eat anything on their own plates, they will think of others' bowls. The labor force is easy to follow the footsteps of Emperor Wu of Han during the expedition. Third, Cao Xian's child has given you a grandson. He will be the third emperor of Ji Han."

"Brother Meng De, even if I don't come today, there will be no war between us in the next fifty or even a hundred years. If you have Caozhou and Peizhou, the two continents are not weak, China. No matter how much Wei and Han say it, they will have the same roots and origins. If you keep fighting to the death, you will only make the natives of each state rise and reap profits. I believe you don't want to see this."

Cao Cao picked up the teacup and thought while savoring. After five minutes, he put down the cup and said with a smile: "Okay, the Wei and Han dynasties will not invade each other for a hundred years. As for who will win and lose in a hundred years, it has nothing to do with us two old men."

Liu Bei was overjoyed, picked up the teacup with both hands and smiled, "I respect you."

The two clinked their glasses and drank them all.

Cao Cao pretended to be careless and asked, "What's my grandson's name?"

"Liu Ren."

Liu Bei stood up and smiled and said, "I won't disturb Brother Meng De's elegance, say goodbye."
