Chapter 56 Wuchang

Wuchang, originally named E County, is located on the south bank of the Yangtze River, with a river bank, a ban on the lake and mountains, and a control of Lu Fei on the left and Xianghan on the right. It is a strategic location between Jingyang. In the first year of Zhangwu, Liu Bei attacked Wu and Sun Quan came to E County from the police to fight. He changed E County to Wuchang, and then used the six counties of Wuchang, Xiazhi, Xunyang, Yangxin, Chaisang and Shaxian as Wuchang County, and then built the capital here.

Speaking of which, in order to deal with the world situation, the capital of the Eastern Wu has been changing. First in Wu County, then moved to Jingkou to build the Iron City, and then to Moling to build the Shitou City. In recent years, it moved to Wuchang. Although the Eastern Wu finally used Moling, which is Jianye, as the capital, Lu Xun assisted the prince and still stationed in Wuchang, so Wuchang's status is still important, of course this is a later story.

This is Deng Zhi's second time to come to Wuchang. Although it is cold and cold now, Wuchang is the capital of Eastern Wu at this time, and it is also in a key place for water and land, so there is still a lively scene of merchants gathering and people coming and going.

Deng Zhi lowered the window, and the noise outside the house disappeared. It was still the familiar inn and the familiar second-floor room. He couldn't help but think that the attitude of the officials this time was much better than when he came last time.

This was the eighth day he arrived in Eastern Wu. During this period, he had met with Lord Wu Sun Quan three times. With the news brought back by Zhang Wen, the two sides had a very harmonious talk this time, and it was a foregone conclusion that the alliance between Han and Wu Chong was a foregone conclusion.

The mission of reorganization has been completed, Deng Zhi couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but then he thought that there was an important task that had not been completed, and he just raised his breath. He walked in the room and thought that Sun Quan saw that the alliance between the two countries was settled and planned to hold a banquet to entertain him tonight. Sun Quan should be in a good mood tonight, and his defense should be much less. It seems that he can act according to the Prime Minister's plan tonight.

In the Chongli Hall of Wuchang Palace, King Sun Quan of Wu gathered a large number of civil and military personnel to celebrate the rebuilding of Wu and Shu. The hall was decorated with lights and brightly lit, and officials of all sizes were all happy. While watching the moving dance and music, they toasted and laughed, and there were palace maids and waiters interspers. It was so lively, with a scene of singing and dancing in peace.

As an envoy of the Han Dynasty, Deng Zhi was naturally close to Sun Quan. Opposite him was Sun Shao, the prime minister of Wu. This man was from Beihai. He was a Gongcao of Kong Rong in his early years. After serving in Wu, Sun Quan was often valued by Sun Quan. In September of the second year of Zhangwu, after Wei and Wu turned against each other, Sun Quan officially changed his lunar name to Huang Wu. When Zhang Zhao was disgusted by Sun Quan, Sun Shao was appointed as prime minister by Sun Quan, so this man was the prime minister of Wu.

Deng Zhi's lower head is his old friend Zhang Wen. Zhang Wen's official position cannot be so forward. Sun Quan's arrangement is of course convenient for him to speak with Deng Zhi. It can be said that Sun Quan still gave Deng Zhi enough face today.

After some drinking and chatting, Sun Quan was slightly drunk. He smiled and said to Deng Zhi: "Bomiao, now that you and I have reunited, we can work hard to go north and destroy Cao Wei together. By then, the world will be peaceful and the two masters will be divided, will they be happy?"

Deng Zhi was shocked when he heard this and thought that this was the temptation of King Wu. As long as the hero is a hero, he will pursue the achievement of unifying the world. Is the King of Wu an exception? Humph, no matter what you think of Dongwu, my great man will not really rule the world with other countries.

Deng Zhi carefully considered his words and bowed to him, "Since ancient times, there are no two kings in heaven and earth. If the king is still a person who fails to understand the destiny of heaven after working together to annex the State of Wei, then only the monarchs of our countries will each fulfill their virtues, the ministers will each fulfill their loyalty, and the generals will beat the drums of war, and then the war between the two sides will begin again."

After hearing Deng Zhi's words, Sun Quan knew that this was probably the most real result. Seeing that Deng Zhi did not deceive him with lies, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Your innocence has reached this point." Deng Zhi got up and raised his glass, and said modestly: "This is also due to the sincerity of the king. Please." Seeing that Deng Zhi attributed the alliance between the two countries to him, Sun Quan felt even more happy, and raised his glass and stood up and said, "Please, please, everyone in the hall." Everyone in the hall stood up and said, "Master, please." Drinking the fine wine together, the cheerful atmosphere in the hall reached a climax.

Deng Zhi sat down and said, "The king is full of the world and has ambitions in all directions. Foreign ministers think that since the death of Cao Cao and I, Emperor Zhaolie, today, our lord is still young. Cao Pi of the pseudo-Western Wei is also a person with great ambitions and talent. Who else can the heroes in the world besides the king? No wonder Yang Mingzhi, the chief clerk of our country, all praised the poems."

Sun Quan also heard Zhang Wennian's poem "Who is the hero in the world who is the rival? Cao Liu, who should have a son like Sun Zhongmou." He also recited it repeatedly.

Although Yang Qing seemed to have shortened Cao Cao and Liu Bei in this poem, it can still be seen that the author recognizes himself as Cao and Liu. This Yang Mingzhi heard that he was a new talent in Shu. Not only did he create a new style of poetry, but he was also said to be quite talented in military and political affairs, and he was highly valued by Zhuge Kongming. He would meet this person if he had the opportunity in the future.

Deng Zhi flattered again, making Sun Quan even happier. Seeing that the time had come, he immediately bowed to Sun Quan and said, "King, Zhang Yi, the prefect of Yizhou in our country, was tied up by the thief of Yong Kai, and sent him to Eastern Wu for a long time. Now the two countries have reconstructed the old, so Zhi requested the king to release Zhang Fujun."

"What, what happened?"

Sun Quan was a little confused. He knew that Yong Kai was a big surname from Yizhou County, Nanzhong, Shu Kingdom. When he had thought about Nanzhong, he ordered Jiaozhi Prefect Xie to secretly seduce Yong Kai. This man really wanted to surrender. Not only did he kill the Yizhou Prefect Zheng'ang, but he also submitted a request to him. In this way, Zhang Yi was the one who later replaced Zheng'ang, but when was this person tied up by Yong Kai to Eastern Wu, why didn't he have any impression of him?

Yes, Yong Kai gave him a batch of gold, silver, jewelry and captured Western Shu officials. At that time, he was granted the new governor of Jiaozhou, Lu Daixuanen. At that time, he ordered Lu Dai to deal with it with all his powers. I guess he was sent to Zhang Yi.

Seeing that Sun Quan's expression was not as fake, Deng Zhi hurriedly said: "The King of Wu does not know about this, so this will be difficult to deal with. Before leaving, Prime Minister Zhuge asked me to bring back the officials stranded in Wu to the hearts of the people in Shu. What should I do now?"

Sun Quan said: "Don't be anxious, there are still some clues here." Seeing Deng Zhi anxious, Sun Quan quickly told him the clues he had just remembered, and Deng Zhi was a little relieved.

But Deng Zhi thought about it and was dealt with by Lu Dai, and he didn't know whether Zhang Yi was alive or dead. He quickly asked Sun Quan again: "I'd like to ask the king to send someone to find Zhang Fujun, so that Zhi can fulfill Prime Minister Zhuge's mission."

After two contacts, Sun Quan admired Deng Zhi's talent very much. Seeing that he had something to ask for him, he immediately agreed: "Don't worry, I will definitely order Lu Dai to find the son of Zhang to Wuchang."

"I would like to thank you for this." Seeing that things had come to this point, Deng Zhi had to wait for a while.

In a simple private house in Guangxin County, Cangwu County, Zhang Yi was writing today's copywriting. He was fifty years old, gray and thin. Since he was tied to Wu by Yong Kai, he has been exiled here. Fortunately, the temple in Guangxin County knew that he had been a high-ranking official and maintained a certain etiquette to him. He did not arrange physical strength to work for him, but asked him to do some copying and writing, so Zhang Yi's body was not exhausted.

He was not tired, but Zhang Yi felt very distressed. He was ordered by the king to take a detour to Yizhou County to preside over the county affairs. However, the local tyrant Yong Kai was so crazy that he was not enough to kill his former prefect Zheng Ang, so he wanted to kill him. Fortunately, Yong Kai was flattering to the Eastern Wu at that time, so he handed him over to the people of Wu to deal with it, which saved his life.

Although these things have passed for a long time, whenever Zhang Yi thinks about it, he will be very upset and ashamed. He doesn't know whether he can return to his hometown in this life, nor how he will face Prime Minister Zhuge in the future. Just as he was stopping his writing and complaining, the door was suddenly pushed open with force.
