Chapter 965

Half a year's truce, and then to the autumn, this year's autumn has been very cold, perhaps a difficult winter.

Zhang Yu received several good news one after another.

In Fusang, there was stable production, and a lot of silver was produced, which was sent to xinpeiping and then made into silver coins.

In the area controlled by Zhang Yu, silver coins were used not only by merchants but also by ordinary people.

Few people can afford to use silver coins, but gradually some people are using them, and more and more people will use them.

The silk ceramic industry in the South developed rapidly, making the whole south very rich.

Zhang Yu's road construction army also began to move, divided into more than ten sections and began to repair at the same time.

This time, Zhang Yu recruited 200000 laborers from Fusang. They only need to give Fusang's family a small sum of money.

These workers will not be abused, but they will not be treated very well.

The sea trade makes Zhang Yu rich, and he can do a lot of things with money.

The money from the treasure of Huangjin was spent by Zhang Yu in less than a year, but he did a lot of great things.

Half a year later, Zhang Yu's army had already recovered. It was only the heavy cavalry that could recover enough people, and his combat power had not been fully improved.

It's the autumn of 203. It's not very cold in Jingzhou.

In recent days, Liu Bei has had many guests. Many aristocratic families have made advances to Liu Bei, either expressed their attitude or given him valuable gifts.

Liu Bei sent another group of people away.

"Lord, Liu Jingzhou is not well. I heard that he was in a coma recently." Jianyong said.

Liu Bei was secretly moved, but his face was still.

After a while, Liu Bei said, "it's not easy for Liu Jingzhou to be trapped in Xiangyang. Cai Mao dares to commit crimes below."

Jian Yong understood Liu Bei's meaning and wanted to replace Liu Biao, but he never expressed his true attitude.

When they arrived in the room, Liu Bei drank some water and said, "have you recorded the list of recent visits? Choose some important ones for me. I'll pay a return visit in two days to thank them."

The follow-up visit is true, and the thanks are too false.

Liu Bei wanted to try again. This time Liu Biao suddenly became seriously ill, and all these people came together.

Before Liu Bei was sure of their true attitude, he didn't make a statement for a while.

"Can you straighten out their relationship?" Liu Bei said to Jian Yong.

He asked Jian Yong to record the relationship between these aristocratic families in detail, and then he wanted to find out their relationship with the Xiangyang army.

At this time, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei came in from the outside. Although it was autumn, they were still sweating.

"The brothers worked hard." When Liu Bei saw them coming in, he poured water for them.

Zhang Fei grabs the big bowl and drinks it.

"Big brother, the 3000 newly recruited soldiers are well trained and ready to fight at any time." Zhang Fei said aloud.

On one side, Guan Yu kept quiet. Although the troops they trained were good, they had less than 5000 troops.

What Liu Bei thought was the power of Jingzhou.

"Prepare some gifts for me. In two days, I'll go to see Liu Jingzhou first." Liu Bei said.

After drinking water, Guan Yu sat down and said, "big brother, although we have few troops, we are easy to control. We can still play a big role in critical times."

Liu Bei nodded, which is his most comforting. Now he is squatting in the county next to Xiangyang. Once he has the chance, he can still lead the troops into Xiangyang.

"Liu Jingzhou is just a symbol. If he's here, the aristocratic families will still serve him as the master. If he can't be the master, the herdsman of Jingzhou will no longer be his son."

Pang Tong analyzed things so clearly that Liu Bei was moved.

"If I want to take charge of Jingzhou and defend my Liu family, what should I do?" Liu Bei asked.

Pang Tong laughs. Liu Bei finally dares to show his ambition.

"It's not difficult to control Xiangyang City. As long as Liu Biao comes to the end, if Xuande wants to stand up, it's not difficult to operate. What's difficult is how to keep Xiangyang."

Pang Tong understood that once Jingzhou was changed, Cai Mao would have no scruples and would send troops to attack Xiangyang and unify Jingzhou.

Therefore, the most important thing now is how to defend Xiangyang.

"Sir, teach me." Liu Bei said.

"If you want to contain Cai Mao, only sun CE."

Sun CE!

Liu Bei talks about it, but he doesn't understand how to make use of sun CE. In sun CE's opinion, Liu Bei must be a small man. Liu Bei knows himself.

"If Xuande can win Xiangyang, it's not difficult to send an emissary to persuade sun CE to attack Jingzhou and buy Xuande time."

Liu Bei thought deeply and made a decision in his heart.

Liu Bei said goodbye to Pang Tong. After he went back, Liu Bei became very active and was active in Xiangyang.

He visited several influential families in succession and got a lot of information from them.

These aristocratic families have indeed controlled Xiangyang. Liu Biao can't be in charge gradually, and he didn't let his two sons be in charge.

After a few days of activities, Liu Bei gained a lot and had been hinted by several aristocratic families. Once Liu Biao had an accident, they would support Liu Bei.

But they are also very clear that as long as Liu Biao is there, then Liu Bei will never have a chance.

If Liu Biao is there, then Xiangyang is under their control, and Cai Mao dare not invade.

But if Liu Biao is not there, there needs to be someone who can resist Cai Mao. Liu Biao's son is not good, and there is no one in Xiangyang. The only possibility is Liu Bei.
