The blacksmiths had already started working and were starting to forge steel, preparing to forge sharp iron sabers.
At this moment, Liu Jue received news that someone had arrived from Xiangyang. It was an envoy sent by Liu Biao.
Liu Jue was not surprised by this. After all, he had made such a great contribution. Liu Biao could not be indifferent.
Liu Jue quickly received the envoy surnamed Xu. When he was surprised, Liu Biao asked him to return to Xiangyang. In addition to rewarding him, he also wanted to arrange a marriage for him.
"An engagement?"
Liu Jue's expression was a little strange. Although he knew that people got married very early at this time and he was already mentally prepared, he did not expect it to come so soon.
"Young General is already eighteen years old. Now that he has defeated Zhou Yu and taken down Chaisang City, it is even more joyous to have a marriage at this time!”Special Envoy Xu said with a smile.
"I understand. I will leave for Xiangyang in two days.”Liu Jue didn't say much.
Isn't it just marriage? Isn't it the same whether it's sooner or later?
Moreover, Chaisang had just been controlled by him. Since Sun Quan had not made any big moves, he might as well go to Xiangyang to look for talents. At this moment, whether it was the Wolong or the Phoenix, they had not followed Liu Bei. This was a great opportunity for him to make a move.
Liu Jue couldn't sit still when he thought of this.
Yi Ji, Huang Zhong, Gan Ning, and the others had already taken care of everything in Chaisang, so Liu Jue had nothing to worry about.
As for the Su Metal Saber, he could not rush it. It would probably take another ten to twenty days before it was truly forged.
Three days later, Liu Jue brought Zhao Long, Zhang Sheng, and a thousand elite soldiers along with Envoy Xu.
Taking advantage of this time, Liu Jue inspected Xiakou, West-Hill and other places. Both Ma Liang and Xiang Lang handled their affairs in an orderly manner.
After that, Liu Jue took a boat upstream and spent several days before finally arriving at Xiangyang.
After returning to the Zhennan General's Mansion, Liu Jue met his cheap father, Liu Biao, again.
"Not bad! I haven't seen you for more than two months, and you've grown taller and stronger! This time, you defeated Zhou Yu and took down Chai Sang. I must reward you well!”
Liu Biao patted Liu Jue's shoulder and laughed.
"Thank you for your praise, Father! My son is the prefect of Jiangxia. Zhou Yu dared to lead his troops to attack. Defeating him is what I should do.”Liu Jue said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.
Although Liu Biao's hair was white, his health was still very good. However, who knew how long he would live?
"You don't have to be so humble! Even Wenpin might not be Zhou Yu's match, let alone your two brothers!”Liu Biao looked at Liu Jue, his eyes filled with love.
"This time, you have made such a great contribution. I don't know what to reward you with.”
"Thank you, Father!" When Liu Jue heard Liu Biao's words, his thoughts immediately became active.
He wanted too many things. Soldiers, talents, craftsmen, and so on. It would be better to say that he wanted the entire Jing state now.
However, he could not say this out loud, so Liu Jue planned to ask some craftsmen and civil officials to help Yi Ji and the others handle their affairs.
However, it was still early. It would not be too late to bring it up when they returned to Jiangxia.
"Oh right, you should know that I plan to arrange a marriage for you. I wonder if you have a woman you like.”Liu Biao smiled at Liu Jue.
"Uh, not yet! Her father was the one who made all the decisions about marriage.”Liu Jue shook his head.
"Alright then. Go and see your mother first. She misses you very much too!”Liu Biao patted Liu Jue's shoulder again.
"Then I'll take my leave!" After Liu Jue finished speaking, he turned around and walked into the inner courtyard.
Liu Tu revealed a gratified expression. Just as he was about to continue dealing with matters, Cai Mao suddenly arrived.
Liu Biao immediately let Cai Mao in and asked,""De Gui, what's the matter?"
" My lord," Cai Mao said," there's just news from Jiangdong. The Shanyue in Danyang and other places have started to riot."”
"Oh!"
Liu Biao's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, and he smiled,""Shan Yue's outburst this time is just right. It seems like Sun Quan won't be able to attack Chaisang for the time being.”
"My lord is right," said Cai Mao."I think so too. However, after Sun Quan suppressed Shan Yue, his next target would be Chaisang.”
Liu Biao pondered for a moment and said,"Then let Shan Yue's outburst last a little longer.”
Cai Mao understood and said," My lord, do you mean to give the Shan Yue some support?"”
Liu Biao nodded and said," Send someone to contact Peng Hu, Pan Lin, and the others. You can give them some weapons and let them harass the counties of River East as much as they want."”
Peng Hu and Pan Lin were the leaders of the Shanyue. Cao Cao, Liu Biao, Yuan Shu and the others had secretly supported these people in order to suppress the development of Jiangdong.
"This subordinate will immediately send someone to do it." Cai Mao cupped his fists and asked,"My lord, I heard that Third Young Master has returned to Xiangyang?”
"Yes, Jue 'er just came back not long ago. He went to see his mother.”
Liu Biao smiled and asked Cai Mao,""De Gui, I want to arrange a marriage for Jue 'er. Do you have any recommendations?”
Cai Mao thought for a moment and said,"I have a subordinate named Bu Yuan." He had a daughter named Bu Lian Shi. She was seventeen years old this year. It was said that she was beautiful and had a gentle and virtuous personality.”
"Who were Bu Yuan's ancestors?" Liu Biao asked.”
"Bu Yuan is from Huaiyin," said Cai Mao."His ancestor was a disciple of Confucius, Bu Shucheng. In the fourth year of Jian 'an, Lujiang was captured by Sun Ce, and Bu Yuan's family came to Jingzhou to avoid disaster.”
Liu Biao nodded." So you're also from a famous family, a big family in River East. You're worthy of Jue 'er."”
In ancient times, when people got married, the most important thing was that their families were well-matched.
This match was not only based on status, but also the foundation of the family.
Liu Biao had a plan in his heart and planned to get someone to investigate whether this daughter of Bu Yuan was like what Cai Mao had said.
