Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 450
Lan Tian had been hiding in the dark before, and Sun Quan couldn't find a point of focus after suffering several times. Except for a few people who were unhappy, Lan Tian was still not valued by the Jiangdong officials.

Because the land between Jiaozhou and Jiangdong is mixed with hundreds of Yue, Sun Quan has an endless Shanyue rebellion, and there is no direct military threat between the two. The focus of the entire Jiangdong is on the north and Jingzhou.

At this time, Hu Ke answered sonorously with confidence, and Zhang Zhao and Sun Quan were aroused at the same time.

"Then come quickly."

Hu Ke gently cupped his hands, and then said leisurely: "I wrote to Lord Weiyan before I came to Jiangdong, and said in the letter that we must find a way to rescue the eldest son and ask him to find a way to send people to support him. Lord Weiyan will probably buy the caravan in Jiaozhou. Merchants will be able to do things for the Lord in the future."

Zhang Zhao twirled his beard and thought, "It's not difficult for a businessman to make a profit, but it's hard for the owl (Lan Tian) not to find out."

Hu Ke waved his hand and replied: "The new construction of Guangzhou City needs popularity. To make the city active, Xuan Owl is very willing to promote trade. The investigation is far inferior to Jiangdong's. It is not difficult for me to buy some ordinary news."

Sun Quan nodded, "Since Xuande called that person Xuan Ou, we will also call him Xuan Ou uniformly in the future. Anyway, there is a word "Ow" in the middle, so you don't need to change your mouth if you are used to it. As for what you said just now, it is very reasonable, Shi If Xie's people really come, they will immediately instigate rebellion and use them for me."

"Wei." Hu Ke answered with cupped fists.

Sun Quan then asked about Jiaozhou's garrison and administrative policies, and Hu Ke picked up non-core things and told them truthfully.

"There are not many garrisons in Jiaozhou, but [-] of them are fallen soldiers. My lord should focus on Hefei. The black owl doesn't seem to have that much hostility. It just relies on "Lingnan Daily" to vent."

Zhang Zhao knew that Jiaozhou was a thorn in Sun Quan's heart, but he had to figure out the priorities. Jiangdong's current enemy must not be Lantian.

Sun Quan nodded slightly, "Zi Bu's words are true, that Xuan Ou actually dared to run a school in Jiaozhou. This approach is simply an enemy of the world's nobles. I think he will die sooner or later. However, Jiaozhou is also full of waterways. Building ships in the South China Sea, do you want to attack Wuhui's rear by sea?"

Hu Ke explained: "It is said that according to the news obtained in Guangzhou City, Xuan Ou built sea-going ships to open up sea trade channels and completely make Guangzhou City a commercial city in Jiaozhou, and he very much encouraged businessmen to go to sea to explore, but I guess This move is 'Xiang Zhuang's sword dance is aimed at Pei Gong'."

"That's what you're saying." Zhang Zhao hesitated to speak.

Hu Ke knew that Zhang Zhao had understood it, and then nodded with a smile, but Sun Quan didn't understand it for a while, and asked curiously, "What is Erqing talking about?"

Zhang Zhao cupped his hands and replied, "Xuan Ou's ship building is nominally to promote maritime trade, but in fact he wants to deal with Shi Xie who is far away in Jiaozhi. Zecheng, do you think so?"

"What the military adviser said is true." Hu Ke affirmed.

Sun Quan was enlightened at once, he stroked his purple beard, and then said to himself: "Shi Xie is a scheming man, he only obeyed me Jiangdong in name, and now he also obeys Xuan Ou in name, as Jiaozhou shepherd, he must Let the counties and counties in the region obey."

Hu Ke continued to explain: "Currently, the Weiyangong family occupies the three counties of Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen, and Hepu. The population and land account for half of Jiaozhou. Moreover, these three counties are blocked by mountains and forests, and they are not covered by Yushui River system. It's easier to attack from the sea."

The corners of Sun Quan's mouth raised slightly, and a sly look flashed in his eyes, "The black owl is so dangerous that it can't make it to Jiaozhou. It seems that I, Jiangdong, still have a chance to get back my things."

"The Shi family has been operating in Jiaozhou for decades with a solid foundation, and has been intact through several governors. It is not easy for Xuan Ou to easily eat up these three counties." Zhang Zhao echoed.

Hu Ke added: "The sea is very windy and the waves are very different. Warships are very different from inland river ships. I want to build a sea fleet. I don't want to spend too much time."

Sun Quanxi said: "The infighting between the Lanshi family is beneficial to Jiangdong. Shixie is old enough to die. At that time, Zecheng will take Shiying to Jiaozhi to inherit the title. Those three counties will easily become Jiangdong's territory. Xuan Ou After many years of planning, I finally got married for me, just thinking about it makes me excited."

"The lord has a long-term strategy, and I am very humble. I admire you very much," Hu Ke replied hesitantly.

At this time, Hu Ke did not have any position, so it was inappropriate for him to call himself a junior general or a lowly position. Seeing this, Sun Quan pondered for a moment and said, "Zecheng was Shi Xie's marching chief before, and I will appoint you as the captain of Moling first. .Responsible for collecting information on Jiaozhou. This matter will be kept secret for the time being. On the surface, you are still a businessman from Jiaozhou. We still need to keep the black owl in the South China Sea safe, and prevent your family from being killed."

"Uh, thank you, my lord, for entrusting me with a heavy responsibility. In fact, I'm still alone in my humble position." Hu Ke returned the salute with awkward fists.

Captain is a lower military rank, but Moling has been renamed Jianye. Sun Quan gave this official position to deal with Hu Ke temporarily. After all, the contact time is not long enough, and Sun Quan still remains skeptical.

"I think Zecheng's appearance should be about the same age as me. Why haven't I got married yet?" Sun Quan asked in surprise.

Hu Ke shook his head and sighed: "The humble job wanders all over the world, and I have never met a lady, and I will forget it after a long time."

Zhang Zhao and Sun Quan looked at each other and smiled, what do you mean they didn't meet Shuren?It's clear that you are very demanding and don't want to find a commoner in Guizhou. You still have the pride of being a poor family in your bones. Both of you are veterans, and you can tell the way by seeing Hu Ke's expression.

Sun Quanren didn't want to tear it apart, but comforted him: "If you are really suffering, you will be sincere. The women in Jiangnan are graceful and pleasant. I will choose a lover for you, and you can settle down in Jiangdong in the future."

"Thank you, my lord, I can't repay a humble job even if I die." Hu Ke immediately bowed down on one knee with tears in his eyes.

"This is what I should do. As a human being, I should consider it for you." Sun Quan stepped forward to help Hu Ke up, thinking that he should buy people's hearts this time.

Sun Quan then struck while the iron was hot, and immediately asked his followers to arrange a residence for Hu Ke, and accompanied Hu Ke to take out the sealed goods.

After Hu Ke left, Zhang Zhao quickly remonstrated, "Yu Zecheng is alone at this time. If he uses it properly, he can become a lone wolf. My lord might as well be bolder."

"I still need to examine this person's ability. If he is really talented, he should use it." Sun Quan nodded affirmatively.

Sun Quan thinks more far-reaching than Zhang Zhao, Hu Ke can just pack it up, marry Jiangdong gentry, let his own people penetrate into the gentry and control the right to speak, then it will be easier to control, but the most important thing is to look at Hu Ke No matter how capable Ke is, he is too stupid to play against the group of Jiangdong gentry.

Just as Hu Ke expected, a few days later a cargo ship from Jiaozhou docked at Jianye Wharf, and the leader of the caravan alighted from the ship was Wu Sihei, a Vietnamese businessman he was very familiar with.
