After Lu Meng failed to cross the river in white clothes, Sun Quan had no intention of fighting Jingzhou again, so he ordered his troops to withdraw to Yuzhang City. At the same time, Lu Su from Sanjiangkou and Zhou Yu from Chaisang were asked to withdraw their troops.
After Liu Cong made some arrangements for the four counties in Jingnan, he returned to Xiangyang with Fazheng, Liu Hu and their two wives.
But just after a few days of rest, Jiangdong¡¯s envoy Gu Yong arrived. At the same time, Liu Bei from Hanzhong and Liu Zhang from Yizhou also sent envoys to Xiangyang.
Gu Yong, Jian Yong, Wang Lei and Ma Liang discussed in Xiangyang for five days and reached an agreement. The four families formed a southern alliance to jointly fight against Cao Cao in the north.
At the same time, it is stipulated that the four families must advance and retreat together in the future. If any one destroys the alliance, the other three will attack it together.
Jiangdong Sun Quan had formed an alliance with Liu Cong before, but he suddenly sent troops and openly broke the alliance. In order to show his sincerity, Sun Quan voluntarily gave up Cangwu County, and Zhi and Zhu Ran led their troops back to Jiaozhi.
The alliance between the four families is most beneficial to Liu Bei in Hanzhong. Because Liu Bei is the weakest and is surrounded by several major forces. It is difficult to compete with other princes with only one's own strength. It is obvious that Zhuge Liang single-handedly promoted the Southern Alliance. After the two Lius formed an alliance, Zhuge Liang was still worried. The rise of Liu Cong made him jealous, so he came up with this method.
Since it was also beneficial to the princes, they quickly reached an agreement. In addition to the military aspect, in terms of trade, the four families also signed some contracts to protect their respective caravans and collect taxes according to the same standards.
Since an alliance had been formed, Liu Cong withdrew Deng Ai from Wuxi. Liu Yong led three thousand soldiers and horses, stationed in Cangwu, and handled all affairs of Cangwu. The emperor issued an order to appoint Huang Zhong as the prefect of Cangwu. In fact, Liu Yong was both the prefect and the school captain.
The Feitian camp quickly replenished 20,000 troops and horses. Liu Cong ordered Deng Ai to seize the time to train and prepare to go north.
The princes in the south have formed an alliance. While Cao Cao is still very powerful and the threat to each family still exists, it is unlikely that Sun Quan will attack the four counties in Jingnan. In the future, the main battlefield in Jingzhou will be in the north.
Of course, other princes also made changes accordingly. Sun Quan's main force was concentrated in the Wujun and Jianye areas, Liu Bei was also gathering troops in Baocheng, and Liu Zhang sent troops and horses equally to Wudu Yinping.
All the princes in the south have their eyes fixed on the battle between Cao Cao and Ma Teng. As long as there is a big change between them, it will immediately turn into a multi-party war.
Liu Cong, his two sons, several wives, and his mother Cai are rarely together, so they naturally want to enjoy this family happiness. He acted like a "foolish king" again. Government affairs were completely decided by Ma Liang, and military affairs were handed over to Pang Tong and Fazheng.
But no one thinks that Liu Cong is a "foolish king". In the minds of these officials in Jingzhou, Liu Cong is a hero that is rare to see in hundreds of years. Especially Pang Tong, he firmly believed that every four hundred years, a hero would appear in the world. The characteristics of a hero are the keen vision to understand the general trend of the world, the ability to recognize the world's talents, and the courage and capacity to dare to use any talents instead of doing everything by themselves.
Liu Cong is obviously the one. Although there is still a big gap between his current strength and Cao Cao. But one day, he will surpass Cao Cao, defeat Cao Cao, and unify the world.
"My lord, Master Chen is here to see me at the craftsman's workshop!" Liu Cong was listening to the piano and playing with his two sons, Liu Sheng and Liu Xing, when a servant came to the backyard to report.
"Didn't I tell you? If you have any questions, please contact Ma Liang and Pang Tong!" Liu Cong waved his hand. On this hot day, whenever he moved around, his body felt sticky and uncomfortable, and Liu Cong also became a little lazy.
"My lord, I said it, but Master Chen said that he must see his lord" The servant was a little embarrassed.
Liu Cong is very kind to his servants. If it were anyone else, he would never dare to say anything like this. Of course, I didn¡¯t dare to report it.
"Okay, let him in!" Usually Liu Cong would go to the study in this situation, but today Liu Cong really didn't want to move.
"No!"
Time was short, so the servant led Master Chen to the backyard of the Zhou Mu Mansion.
I saw Master Chen, about forty years old, wearing a long coarse cloth, his body covered with stains. He walked up to Liu Cong in small steps, knelt down on his knees and gave a big salute.
"I see Master Zhou Mu" Master Chen's voice was trembling, his body was trembling, and he didn't dare to look up.
"Why do you want to see Benzhou Mu?" Liu Cong asked.
"Replying to your lord, the master prints are all ready."
"What version?" Liu Cong was a little confused.
"It's the kind with words that the adults asked us to polish and carve out of stone.The bottom plate" Master Chen explained in a low voice.
"Ah? Printing type?" When Liu Cong heard this, he stood up.
"Yes, it's what you call the printing plate." Master Chen seemed to be relieved when he saw Liu Cong was very excited, "According to your request, everything has been done!"
"Great!" Liu Cong was extremely excited. "Come here, tell Liu Hu to get ready immediately. I'm going to the work department workshop outside the city!"
"No!"
The servant was about to go out when he was stopped by Liu Cong.
"Wait a minute, let Liu Hu go to the study and bring the "Spring and Autumn" on the desk with him!"
"No!"
Cai Yu and others knew that Liu Cong had something serious to do, so they quickly took their son away.
When Liu Cong and Master Chen arrived at the gate of the Prefecture Mufu, Liu Hu and five hundred guards were already ready. Liu Cong got on his horse and headed out of the city with Master Chen.
When I arrived at the workshop, I saw the completed plates neatly placed in wooden boxes.
Liu Cong was very excited. He gently picked up a piece and saw that the fonts engraved on it were very clear. It reminded him of modern mahjong, but it was made of stone.
"Sir, according to your request, some common characters, such as zhihuzheye, etc., have been engraved a few more times." Master Chen said carefully.
"Great!" Liu Cong gently put down the piece, "Liu Hu, immediately order Ma Liang to reward Master Chen and the others heavily! Five hundred dollars each!"
"No!"
"Thank you, sir," Master Chen and others were extremely grateful and hurriedly knelt down to express their gratitude. Originally, they thought that the salary paid by Liu Cong was already very high, so they all took this job very seriously. But I didn't expect to receive a heavy reward, how could I not be happy?
"Liu Hu, bring that copy of "Spring and Autumn"!"
"No!" Liu Hu immediately brought in a bundle of bamboo slips.
"Master Chen, typesetting the Spring and Autumn Annals!"
"Typesetting?" Master Chen was confused. He looked at the people next to him, but they didn't understand either.
Liu Cong patiently explained it, and everyone understood it, so they carefully arranged a block.
¡°Ink on the raised lettering!¡±
After hearing Liu Cong¡¯s order, Master Chen took it upon himself to apply ink on each font with a pen very carefully.
After applying it, Liu Cong took out a piece of paper, carefully laid it flat on it, and then gently stroked it with his hand.
Liu Cong was very excited. He paused for a moment, breathed a long sigh of relief, and then gently peeled off the piece of paper.
