Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 629
Jiangdong, Chaisang.

Under Zhou Yu's command, the warships quickly changed their positions. At a glance, the warships, walking boats, boats, and building boats looked a bit chaotic, but if you were in the sky at this moment, you could see the seemingly chaotic water formation. But it is two wholes, the building boat, the walking boat, and the boat going their own way, shuttling endlessly, but rarely colliding, and the whole big formation feels quite smooth.

Without the blessing of the military formation, just simply practicing the water formation, it has the same visual effect as the military formation.

Standing on the bank of the river, Zhou Yu commanded from a distance. He saw only one side of the water array, but he seemed to be able to detect the changes in the entire water array. If there was a slight mistake, he could be noticed immediately.

"Captain!" Xu Sheng came to Zhou Yu's side on a flying horse, cupped his fists and saluted.

"What's the matter?" Zhou Yu nodded, but his gaze remained on the water formation.

"My lord sent someone to send a message, and asked the governor to go to Moling to discuss matters." Xu Sheng bowed.

Zhou Yu turned around and glanced at Xu Sheng. Whenever Sun Quan was mentioned, the enthusiasm in Xu Sheng's eyes was a bit abnormal!

It is a good thing that the soldiers are loyal to the lord, but the development of Jiangdong in the past few years has made Zhou Yu feel a little bit bad. The Jiangdong gentry unconditionally supported Sun Quan. When Xiaoyaojin was defeated, Zhou Yu had already done his best to help Sun Quan suppress the chaos in Jiangdong Bureau, try our best to stabilize the situation.

However, the imagined chaos did not appear. The four surnames of Gu Lu, Zhu and Zhang unconditionally supported Sun Quan, and the talents of the clan also actively offered advice and suggestions for Sun Quan. After that, Sun Quan began to follow the Chunan system.

In Zhou Yu's view, this is simply nonsense.

It’s not that it can’t be imitated, but that Chu Nan’s New Deal is based on the premise that he can improve the land and cultivate it. It's courting death.

You must know that the foundation of Sun Quan's governance of Jiangdong is still the gentry. He is too deeply bound to the gentry, touching the interests of the gentry, and he cannot give the people huge benefits to win the hearts of the people like Chu Nan. Such an approach is tantamount to self-destruction.

However, what Zhou Yu didn't expect was that although the lower levels of the major families were dissatisfied, the higher-ups were firmly on Sun Quan's side. Men of virtue are average.

But how is this possible?

Zhou Yu knew very well that there must be demons when things go wrong. This incident itself is against human nature, and Sun Quan did not experience the bloody suppression like Chu Nan, but he did what Chu Nan could not do.

Correspondingly, most of the high-level generals in the army are like Xu Sheng, who are full of admiration for Sun Quan.

If Sun Quan had defeated Lu Lingqi by himself and turned the tide of the battle back then, this kind of admiration would have been justified, but at the time Sun Quan suffered a big defeat, and the soldiers were loyal to Sun Quan, but fanatical admiration...is completely groundless, which is obviously not in line with Military tradition.

The lord is afraid that he has mastered something extraordinary, which can control people's hearts!
And now... maybe it's my turn.

Glancing at Xu Sheng, Zhou Yu nodded and said, "Alright, I have something to discuss with my lord."

He is also very curious, what kind of method is it?
At that moment, Zhou Yu ordered the soldiers of the three armies to retreat back to the camp, and he took Xu Sheng down the river in a small boat, all the way to Moling.

Moling was more prosperous than before. No matter what means Sun Quan had, he did peacefully cut off a piece of flesh from the gentry for the people's livelihood, which restored the livelihood of the people in Jiangdong.

Anyway, it's a good thing.

It's just that in the past few months, the hundred coins that Jiangdong has gradually used have made Zhou Yu a little worried. This is obviously a conspiracy by Chu Nan, but the other party has a lot of supplies that Jiangdong needs, so it is difficult for Jiangdong to unilaterally discard these hundred coins. , at least for now, it can't be stopped.

Sun Quan's mansion was newly built, occupying a large area, and quite luxurious. It was no worse than Xuchang's palace. Come to the main hall.

"I've met my lord!" Zhou Yu saluted Sun Quan.

"Gong Jin doesn't need to be too polite." Sun Quan looked at Zhou Yu and smiled.

Zhou Yu raised his brows, a vague sense of spirituality shrouded himself, and he had the intention of invading him.

"I wonder if my lord summoned you for something important?" Zhou Yu bowed.

"Has Gong Jin heard anything about the hundred coins?" Sun Quan nodded, his face darkening.

"I have heard about it." Zhou Yu frowned and said, "This matter may be a conspiracy by Chu Nan."

"Did Gongjin see it too?" Sun Quan sighed.

"Yeah." Zhou Yu nodded and said: "Yu doesn't understand business, but Chu Nan wants to buy my Jiangdong's things, and he can use these [-] coins for settlement. Borrowing this hundred coins to absorb the wealth of our Jiangdong, if things go on like this, it will definitely damage the national strength."

Zhou Yu didn't know much about the specific operation of the hundred coins, but he could vaguely guess that this was Chu Nan's method to harvest Jiangdong's wealth, and Jiangdong was still powerless to fight back.

Because people have the final say on how much the hundred coins are worth, this is a bit shameless.

Sun Quan sighed and said, "That's right. Gu Lu, Zhu, and Zhang Si have already talked to me about this matter one after another recently, but it's a different matter to invite Gongjin to come here today."

Zhou Yu looked up at Sun Quan.

Sun Quan said: "According to detailed reports, Jianghuai and Nanyang have recently increased their troops, and although it has not been ascertained, the Ministry of Industry of the imperial court has recently recruited a large number of shipwrights from the people. If it is not bad, Chu Nan should be ready to go south. .”

Zhou Yu nodded silently. This was expected. Chu Nan defeated Yuan Shao, dominated the land of Kyushu, and had a prosperous population. In addition, after more than four years of recuperation, it will be a matter of time before he goes south to sweep Jingzhou and Jiangdong to rule the world.

For more than four years, although Chu Nan has been traveling to various states, the development of the Central Plains has not stopped because of this. After four years, with the material resources of the Central Plains, it is not surprising that he chose this time to send his troops south.

"My lord, don't worry, our army has a great river, and the training of the navy has never stopped. Although Chu Nan's army is strong and strong, if it reaches the river, even a million troops are useless. Water battles are different from land battles." Zhou Yu bowed.

"With Gongjin here, I can rest easy." Sun Quan said with a smile, "What does Gongjin think about this battle?"

Zhou Yu thought for a while, then clasped his fists and said: "Although our army has a great river, we can protect ourselves, but if Chu Ni captures Jingzhou, there are two places where we can use our troops, the Han River and Chaohu. You can go down the river to the east, as time goes on, our army will find it difficult to win, but if we want to advance to Jingxiang at this time, our army is not sure, and it will be easy for the fisherman in southern Chu to benefit. I think we can ally with Liu Biao to fight against Chu South!"

"Alliance?" Sun Quan nodded, groping his chin to look at Zhou Yu and asked, "Will Liu Biao agree to this?"

Between Sun and Liu, there was a big enmity. Let alone the fact that Sun Jian died at the hands of Liu Biao, the enmity formed by the two sides fighting for the power over the river and attacking each other over the years is difficult to resolve.

"The lips are dead and the teeth are cold. Even if Liu Biao is unwilling, if the Jingxiang gentry knew about this, they would probably not be willing to go south from Chu. An alliance between the two sides is the general trend!" Zhou Yu laughed.

With Chu Nan's governing policy, even if he has the power now, the Jingxiang gentry may not be able to accept the fact that most of the power and wealth are taken back to the court.

Liu Biao has ruled Jingzhou civilly these years, not because Liu Biao wanted to do so, but because the gentry controlled Jingxiang's military power, Liu Biao could only gain some autonomy by doing so, and gradually control the military power through these people.

In fact, Liu Biao has also achieved part of his goals. Liu Pan and Liu Hu's subordinates are now Liu Biao's direct descendants, and his old Shanyang department is now gradually gaining a foothold in Jingzhou. If Liu Biao is given more time, he can say Maybe he can get more military power, but in the current situation, I am afraid that there is not so much time left for Liu Biao.

At present, Jingxiang is actually still controlled by the major noble families, so even if Liu Biao objects at this time, the Cai family, Kuai family and other Jingxiang clans will not agree. The key to forming an alliance is not in Liu Biao's hands, but in the hands of these big clans. , Sun Liu alliance is the general trend.

Sun Quan nodded, and after discussing some specific matters with Zhou Yu, he wanted to stay with Zhou Yu for dinner, but Zhou Yu declined.

"The current situation is turbulent, Yu should make preparations early, and there should be no delay!" Zhou Yu bowed to Sun Quan, "I hope my lord will forgive me."

"It's okay, Gong Jin is also thinking about Jiangdong, what's the crime?" Sun Quan waved his hand, signaling Zhou Yu to leave on his own.

After Zhou Yu left the hall, the power that lingered around him and tried to erode him gradually disappeared. He couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, the lord really had the supernatural power to control people's hearts.

Zhou Yu walked towards the outside of the mansion with a complex expression. Sun Quan's supernatural power is actually a good thing. He can use this to control the major families and become the biggest help for the Sun family.

But where does this supernatural power come from?The previous Sun Quan didn't have this ability, and this was what Zhou Yu was most worried about, the lord would not be controlled by someone, right?
Except for the mansion, Zhou Yu glanced back and sighed in his heart, as if he couldn't change anything.

On the other side, in the main hall, until Zhou Yu left, the smile on Sun Quan's face gradually disappeared, and he closed his eyes and said in his heart, "How?"

"This person has melted into heaven and earth. His divine sense has broken through the limit of ordinary people and reached the extraordinary level. Although he has not become a fairy, but with my current supernatural powers, it is difficult to corrode this person's primordial spirit, and it is even more difficult to mobilize his desire. Why don't these people Get your hands on him earlier?"

Zhou Yu should not have been so strong before.

"He has been leading the army outside, and besides, I thought everyone was normal, but it was difficult to control him if he didn't want to!" Sun Quan said helplessly. It is difficult for a majestic immortal to control a mortal. Does anyone believe this?
"I am just a lingering thought now. Although I have been nourished by your luck in the past few years and have recovered a little bit, the will of heaven and earth suppresses me quite strongly. It is difficult to infect Chaofan here."

"Then let's look for opportunities in the future." Sun Quan sighed.

"He has already noticed something!"

Sun Quan: "..."
