1362 Again the mountain
"Fifty miles west of Xiangyang, Shuijing Villa." Zuo Ci said.
At the mention of this place name, Wang Baoyu couldn't help but think of the old man Mr. Shui Jing, alas, if he had met Hua Tuo, maybe Mr. Shui Jing would not have fallen so quickly.
Shuijing Villa is indeed a good place, there is a sense of paradise, Wang Baoyu liked this place very much at the beginning, but later he saw more and was busy with affairs, so he gradually forgot about this place.
"Well, I agreed, and I can also provide financial support." Wang Baoyu said.
"Hehe, I'm not short of money." Zuo Ci waved his hand.
"I don't know what's going on there yet." Wang Baoyu said.
"After Mr. Shuijing was captured by Cao Cao, Shuijing Villa changed hands several times, and then it was rumored to be ominous, and it has long withered, and there are only a few families." Zuo Ci said.
"In that case, you should renovate that place! I will inform the Xiangyang Taishou to move all the residents away. Wang Baoyu nodded.
"Thank you, boss!" Zuo Ci arched his hand.
"Come on, hypocrisy." Wang Baoyu glanced at Zuo Ci, Zuo Ci laughed for a while, and did not explain.
After Wang Baoyu went downstairs, he immediately sent a letter to Liu Cong, the Taishou of Xiangyang, asking him to remove all the residents of Shuijing Villa and set up boundary monuments, which were not allowed to enter without permission.
Liu Cong naturally complied, and immediately moved out of those households and made them residents of Xiangyang. Zuo Ci and others began to build the Tianxuan Gate here, renamed it the Tianxuan Holy Land, and recruited monks as disciples.
These are all of which Wang Baoyu is not interested in, Guan Xing in Shuzhong heard that his sister was married, and sent someone to send congratulatory gifts and letters remotely, but it was a sincere support. Presumably he learned from Zhuge Liang that Guan Lu was extraordinary, and felt that it was also a happy thing for his sister to have such a creation.
At the same time, Zhuge Liang's congratulatory gift and a letter were also brought over. Zhuge Liang hoped that Wang Baoyu could get together in Chengdu in the letter, saying that Huang Yueying missed him very much, and there was also good news, that is, Huang Yueying was pregnant.
There is no major event in Yiling at present, and Wang Baoyu also wanted to see Zhuge Liang and his sister Huang Yueying, so he replied with a letter and agreed.
Hearing that Wang Baoyu was going to Chengdu, Sun Shangxiang and the others were active again, and they asked to go with them, but Huoya didn't say a word about what followed, in the depths of her heart, she still had a lot of fear and dissatisfaction with Huang Yueying, she was not willing to grovel in front of Huang Yueying, let alone say a few words of insincere flattery.
Wang Baoyu promised Sun Shangxiang and agreed to let her follow, Sun Shangxiang cheered and was overjoyed, and hurried to show off with his sisters, and the first stop was Ma Yunlu. Ma Yunlu stimulated her, it was nothing more than a visit, not a battle to lead the troops, compared to his southern expedition, it was several grades worse, so angry that Sun Shangxiang was speechless for a while.
As for the military generals in the same company, Wang Baoyu chose Fan Jinqiang, the big brother was not in good love, and wanted him to go out to relax together.
The night before leaving, Wang Baoyu chose to stay in Cai Wenji's house, and after some affection, Cai Wenji reminded: "Baoyu, you seem to have forgotten someone." ”
"Who? Just go to Chengdu to see, there is no need to bring too many people. Wang Baoyu said.
"I'm not talking about a trip to Chengdu, but Sun Quan from Jiangdong." Cai Wenji said.
"What's wrong with him?" Wang Baoyu asked puzzled.
"I have heard for a long time that Sun Quan coveted the land of Nanyue back then, and now it has been taken away by us, so I am afraid that I will be dissatisfied in my heart." Cai Wenji said.
"Well, you're right, he must be envious and jealous of me, wait for me to write him a letter." Wang Baoyu said.
"Baoyu, when giving gifts to appease, don't let Jiangdong regenerate waves." Cai Wenji built yì said.
"Didn't we get a bunch of treasures, you pick a few and arrange for someone to send them!" Wang Baoyu nodded.
"The night pearl is a rare thing in the world, and it should not be shown lightly, I think I can ask Da Qiao to carve a piece of blood coral, which is called "Brother of the same heart" and given to Sun Quan." Cai Wenji said.
"Hehe, my daughter-in-law is really my virtuous helper, just do what you say." Wang Baoyu said.
Cai Wenji immediately took out another draft letter and asked Wang Baoyu to wrap the quilt and copy it, to the effect that he told Sun Quan, brotherly love, regardless of you and me, Yuezhou, Luozhou and other places, welcome the eldest brother to visit and inspect at any time, and trade freely.
To sum it up, there is only one sentence, as long as you don't go to the garrison, you can do anything, which also gives Sun Quan a lot of face.
The situation in Jiangdong is similar to what Cai Wenji expected, because Wang Baoyu seized the territory of South Vietnam, Sun Shao, as the prime minister of Jiangdong, often talks about the past, he strongly advocated fighting Wu Chen, this time it is good, a large area of territory belongs to others, that is, Wang Baoyu, who calls Sun Quan a brother and brother, and claims that he has no ambition.
Although Sun Quan also regretted it, it was irretrievable, and he was very dissatisfied with Sun Shao's actions, and he became increasingly cold about this person.
Sun Shao was stubborn, not only did he not repent, but even summoned everyone to write to Sun Quan and asked Wang Baoyu for the land of Jingzhou again. Sun Quan was furious and drove him back to his home, although he still retained the position of prime minister and salary, but let him reflect at home, and he was not allowed to go to the court to discuss matters, which was equivalent to taking away his power.
Sun Quan's actions, of course, aroused the dissatisfaction of some people, and secretly criticized a lot. Just when Sun Quan was feeling pressured, Wang Baoyu sent gifts and letters.
The incomparably precious blood coral, carved into two encircled human figures, is dazzling under the sun, better than a qiē brilliance, and everyone who sees it is amazed. And the coral named the brothers with one heart, which made Sun Quan's heart rise a trace of warmth.
Looking at Wang Baoyu's letter again, Sun Quan laughed for a while, and suddenly felt that his waist was a lot straighter, and immediately summoned everyone to read the letter in public, warning everyone not to spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, Wang Baoyu is the king's sworn brother, and he is also a brother-in-law, and the territory he occupies is ours.
The ministers were skeptical, and proposed to go to investigate according to what was written in the letter, intending to test Wang Baoyu's sincerity.
Sun Quan immediately assigned Bu Qi as an envoy to Yuezhou to carry out trade work in the land of South Vietnam, and sure enough, the road was smooth. As the circulation of goods was invigorated and money was made, those voices of criticism were gradually suppressed.
As the overlord of one side, of course, Sun Quan didn't want to only own the territory of Jiangdong, and Wang Baoyu's prefectures and counties were not in the scope of consideration, so he once again set his eyes on Heqi City, which he had been thinking about, and there were some other small actions.
It was May, the wind was warm and the sun was warm, Wang Baoyu took Fan Jinqiang and Sun Shangxiang and two thousand soldiers and horses, and under the send-off of everyone, they left Yiling again and headed towards Chengdu.
Three days later, the group came to Xiangyang City, and Liu Cong led all the officials in the city to go out of the city for five miles to welcome Wang Baoyu's arrival.
