Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1272

The sky in Jiangdong is gloomy, and the rain has not diminished since autumn.

There have been countless disasters in Jiangdong this year.

Jiangdong is also a natural granary. If the weather is good, no matter where it is, the harvest in Jiangdong is not comparable to that of Jiangdong. The rain is sufficient and the output is high, so that the Sun family can accumulate a certain amount of granary even during the war in the past few years.

But in this natural disaster, it can be regarded as returning to before liberation.

This also made Jiang Dong quiet down.

In a war, it is ultimately the country that is fighting.

No matter how brave the frontline soldiers are, if there is no logistical support, they are just a group of rogues, and no matter how good the discipline is, they cannot hold back a group of hungry and panicked people.

Without logistics, any strong army will collapse in a short time.

This is an iron rule.

So Jiang Dong had to be quiet, even if he had a lot of strategic deployments and a lot of thoughts before, he could only hold it down in the end, not daring to make the slightest move.

Jiangdong, who was quiet, seemed even more terrifying.

The various ministries gathered their troops, like a hedgehog. Relying on the natural danger of the Yangtze River, once the water village was built, let alone the north, even if it was Jingzhou, it would be very difficult to enter.

This also gave Jiangdong not only time to breathe, but also a gap to settle down and rectify his development.

Jianye.

A small moling city in the past has now become the center of Jiangdong and the foundation of the Sun regime. Therefore, it has developed rapidly, and the people who have moved from all directions have become labor force. Pieces of barren fields have been reclaimed, and houses have been built. up.

Gradually become prosperous.

Wuhou Mansion.

Now Sun Jian, ruling Jiangdong in the name of Marquis Wu, not only respects the court's will, but also has an independent mind, which can win the hearts of the Jiangdong counties.

In the spacious lobby, the sound of footsteps coming in and out is very dense, and there are so many files coming and going, collected from various places, and then distributed, this is the heart of the entire Wuhou Mansion.

Sun Jian was sitting high in the hall, wearing a loose long robe, holding the red pen and vermilion pen in his hand for too long, and a tired look appeared on his face.

He put down the red pen in his hand, rubbed the bridge of his nose, and then said to Zhang Zhao who was handing him the notebook all the time, "Zibu, it's hard to make a big deal with the talents in the mansion withered!"

Born as a warrior, Sun Jian may not have much reputation in Jiangdong.

The Sun family is not one of those century-old families, at most it can only be regarded as a big family, not even a gentry and aristocratic family.

There are many talents in Jiangdong, but not many are willing to contribute.

"My lord, if you want to recruit talents, you must first identify the four clans!"

Zhang Zhao cupped his hands and said.

"Gu Lu Yuwei!" Sun Jian's face turned a little cold all of a sudden: "Everyone doesn't pay attention to this lord. When I conquered them, they avoided them and prevaricated on the basis of illness. I'm afraid it's very difficult now. It's hard to serve the Marquis, unless the Marquis is willing to bow to them, they just want to control the Marquis and use him as a puppet. If Jiangdong is not corrupt now, the Marquis is really unwilling to pay attention to them, but now it seems that for the people For the blessings, this Marquis really has to bow his head!"

He hadn't had such a personal feeling before.

Thinking that the military power is in hand, and Jiangdong has his own.

However, under this natural disaster, the deterrent power exerted by the Jiangdong family made him a little scared, especially the four major families headed by Jiangdong.

"My lord, temporary gains and losses are nothing!"

Zhang Zhao said comfortingly: "Gou Jian is still able to live on his salary and taste his courage, and he is so rude, so let them go. When the lord has settled down in Jiangdong and laid a foundation, it will not be too late to settle accounts with them slowly!"

"I'm afraid it won't be that easy!" Sun Jian sneered, "Even if someone can hold onto Jiangdong, these world powers will eventually become entangled like vines, and they will be inseparable if they want to be separated!"

What is the best method of these aristocratic families, and that is to integrate themselves with the new regime. At the beginning, they will lower the threshold first, and when the influence comes out, they will become invincible.

"Zibu, I've heard about the Southwest Reform, what do you think?" Sun Jian asked suddenly.

"Absolutely not!"

Zhang Zhao trembled all over, stood up quickly, knelt down, bowed his head and begged and said, "My lord, you must not have such a heart, otherwise Jiangdong's turmoil is a trivial matter, if the crowd rises and the opposite happens, then Jiangdong will be completely chaotic! "

"This Marquis is just talking casually, and I will not ignore Jiangdong's safety!" Sun Jian was expressionless, but his heart was quite cold.

He was a little resentful.

Why Mujing can do it, but he can't.

But he also knew that Zhang Zhao was right. Jiangdong was not something he could move casually. question.

"There are some changes, and there is no way to return to heaven, what can I do!"

Sun Jian sighed in his heart.

Everyone knows that the Mu Clan's reform is a good way to improve the foundation of the country, but there are really no princes who dare to follow suit.

"Jiangdong, Jiangdong is very different from Southwest. The family in the Southwest has little influence, and the Mu family has always been known for being cruel. He is a bandit. He can be desperate, but we can't!"

Zhang Zhao also knew that Sun Jian was quite tempted, and he still had to break Sun Jian's heart, otherwise Jiangdong would be in trouble: "The land of Jiangdong has been in peace for many years, the aristocratic families are deeply rooted, and the influence of the gentry and wealthy families is great. It can overthrow everything, if you change it regardless of everything, maybe you have never seen the day of change, and the change has already made Jiangdong blood flow like a river!"

Sun Jian's fluke was killed by Zhang Zhao's words.

Jiangdong is different from Southwest after all.

"It's Ben Hou who thinks too much!"

Sun Jian admitted his mistake with a wry smile: "This Marquis will definitely not be so manic in the future!"

This made Zhang Zhao feel relieved.

"Father!"

A burly figure walked in from outside.

"How many times have I said it, rules!" Sun Jian shouted angrily.

"Yes!"

Sun Ce hurriedly saluted, cupped his hands and said, "Subordinate Sun Ce, pay homage to my lord!"

"What's the matter?"

Sun Jian asked.

News came from Guangling that Cao's army had advanced thirty miles, and our army had nowhere to stand, so we had to retreat! "Sun Ce said.

"So tough?"

Sun Jian narrowed his eyes.

It was intended to open a gap to the north from Guangling, and taking Guangling was equivalent to taking down the gate of Xuzhou.

Unfortunately, people are not as good as God.

This year's flood disaster caused an error in the timing of the Jiangdong Army's northward march, which made Xuzhou react quickly. Before the Jiangdong Army entered Guangling, the main force of Cao's army had already appeared.

For more than a month.

Not a single chance.

It was a failure.

"Then let's go back!" Sun Jian said in a low voice: "Now is the time to turn our face, even if we want to, we must avoid the court's three points, and we can't let the court take advantage of it at this time!"

"promise!"

Sun Ce surrendered and took command.

"How is the matter in Jiaozhou handled?"

"It has been negotiated with the envoys of the Minghou Mansion. The land will be ruled, and the east will be ours, and the west will be theirs. The specific documents and some small details. Gong Jin is still working with the Minghou Mansion. The envoys are pestering, so there will only be a document this month!"

Sun Ce reported.

"very good!"

Sun Jian nodded and said: "Let's not talk about the relationship between us and the Marquis of Ming, just this time the Marquis of Ming is willing to sell food to us to tide over the hardships, this favor will be passed on, and the momentum for peace talks is on the way." It must be done, as stable as possible!"

Jiangdong was flooded, every day was unresponsive, and the land was not working. At this time, all parties were laughing at the jokes. The remoteness was a great enemy, and the Minghou Mansion extended a helping hand to support the Sun family to stabilize Jiangdong.

Although even without the intervention of the Marquis of Ming, Jiangdong may not be in chaos, and the Sun family is still the master of Jiangdong.

But this love should be inherited, and it must be inherited.

This is a matter of temperament.

It is ungrateful for someone to help you without a good word from you.

As for why the Minghou Mansion would help him.

Don't think too much about this question.

In troubled times, there are no friends anymore. Whether to help or not to help is determined by interests. If we meet on the battlefield in the future, what to do or what to do, there is no morality at all.

However, this kind of favor finally made Jiang Donghui take a step back, and it also gave the two sides a step down from the sharp hostility to ease the relationship.

For the time being, peace can be negotiated.

Everyone keep a peaceful face on the surface.

"Subordinates understand!" Sun Ce smiled wryly. If possible, he really didn't want to make peace with the Minghou Mansion. After all, the Minghou Mansion has always been the biggest opponent, but politics is like this. Recently, he is also familiar with the phrase of political compromise. That's it.

"My lord!" At this time, another soldier hurried in from outside, still wearing armor, very fast, with a hasty look on his face. As soon as he came in, he knelt down and handed over a piece of information: "News from the Northwest!"

"northwest?"

Sun Jian narrowed his eyes.

"Submit it!" Zhang Zhao said on his behalf.

Instead, Sun Ce took the next step, instead of the guard next to him, he personally brought the bamboo tube over, and after taking out the news inside, he handed it to his father Sun Jian without looking at it.

Sun Jian opened it and took a look.

Northwest does not have the interests of Jiangdong, but the movement in Northwest is related to the future of the Central Plains. He will naturally keep an eye on it. If there is any news, he will send it back immediately.

"Cao Mengde, Yuan Benchu, Liu Xuande, the three trash!" Sun Jian only took one look, and couldn't help but shouted, "Even if we work together, we can't fight against a single Mulongtu!"

The neighbor next to him is already strong enough.

Now he has eaten the Northwest.

The strength is definitely stronger again.

Jiangdong has a neighbor who is expanding so rapidly, he will have trouble sleeping and eating in the future.

"My lord, is the situation in the Northwest really bad?" Zhang Zhao frowned.

"The whole of Xiliang was swallowed by Mrs. Mu in one gulp!"

Sun Jian handed the information to Zhang Zhao, then rubbed his head vigorously, and said, "Northwest is a buffer zone, now the Northwest is certain, and the Central Plains must have a big war!"

"Clan Mu's calculations are a little too shrewd!"

Zhang Zhao is a detail-oriented person. Sun Jian looks at the big picture, but he prefers to dwell on the small details. He looked at the news reported by the spies above and said: "The battle in the northwest, at first glance, I just think that the Mu family's luck is good, but carefully I cut it down, but I feel that the Mu family did a lot of work beforehand, not to mention the sudden change of Jishishan, and Ma Chao's defection at the moment of battle, it is impossible to just happen on the spur of the moment, there must be a conspiracy!"

"What are you worried about?" Sun Jian asked.

"I'm afraid Jiangdong will become another Northwest!" Hu Zhao said.

"Do you think that he is in Jiangdong, and he has arrangements!"

"should have!"

"It's really not to be underestimated!" Sun Jian also became vigilant. The Mu family's layout and the number of dark sons are really hard to guard against. It is hard to guarantee that there will be no dark sons of the Mu family in Jiangdong. "You have to take care of it, don't give them a chance!"

"Father, I will do this!" Sun Ce pleaded: "I want to see, whoever dares to betray me, Jiangdong, should be punished!"

"No!"

Sun Jian shook his head: "You are too imposing and murderous, so you are not suitable for this matter. This matter is very important to Jiangdong, so I will do it myself!"

He paused, and said: "Bo Fu, you are now focused on doing one thing for me, to reach a consensus with the Minghou Mansion as soon as possible, and to achieve peace between the two sides. The chaos in the Central Plains is already on the verge of breaking out. The first enemy is not us, and we don't need to regard them as the first enemy, it is our strategy to stabilize the southwest and go north to Xuzhou!"

"promise!"

Sun Ce reluctantly took the order.
