Han Xiang

Chapter 505

Sun Quan has been receiving kickbacks from Yaoji Commercial Bank for a long time, so it is obviously inappropriate for the government to check directly. This kind of thing can only be done by his confidants.

So Zhou Shan, who was doing dirty work full-time, was called to him by Sun Quan again.

"My lord?"

"Go and order two hundred sergeants, rush to Zhenze East Street immediately, and search Yaoji Firm."

"Ah? Not shopkeeper Yao"

Zhou Shan's face was full of surprise, and he thought to himself, isn't Yao Xuan your guest?Why are you suddenly going to raid his shop?

Sun Quan lightly stroked his purple beard, half-closed his eyes and explained: "Long Xiang rebelled and surrendered Tai Shici, and killed Pan Zhang's general Ma Zhong. Now he is separatist in Huainan and threatening Jiangdong. I want to send a large army to Hefei to punish him. It is hard to guarantee that it is not Longchamp's internal agent that the people of Hefei developed, so it must be cut off first."

"So that's the case, the end general will do it."

"Wait a minute."

Zhou Shan clasped his fists and was about to turn around and leave when Sun Quan stopped him and told him, "Yaoji Trading Co. is making a lot of money, so you need to prepare more horses and chariots to store your belongings. I want to use these as military funds. In addition"

"My lord, please speak."

"Yao Xuan manages such a large business, and the profits he gains cannot be his own. There should be detailed accounting in the store for verification. You must bring back all the accounting books. I will investigate the corruption of officials in Hefei based on the accounting books. Take a look. Whoever profited from the sale of underwear was used to disintegrate the hearts of the people in Hefei when the war broke out."

"The end will be saved."

Zhou Shan has done a lot of dirty things for Sun Quan. Although his lord's words are high-sounding, the core is to erase his own stains.

After all, the "souvenirs" that Yao Xuan gave away in recent years were often handled by Zhou Shan.

Not long after Zhou Shan left, Sun Quan went back to his room and changed into a long red robe before moving to the meeting hall.

Zhang Zhao, Lv Meng and the others were already waiting in the hall. Seeing Sun Quan's bright and eye-catching clothes, they didn't feel any difference. They thought that the Lord's clothes were quite particular when he was fair, and he only wore crimson color on festive festivals. Why did he see people wearing this color robe today? ?
Lu Meng had already reported the situation in Huainan. It stands to reason that Sun Quan should be extremely angry at this time, but wearing the crimson clothes is a sign that he is in a good mood.

Since most of Jiangdong's generals were away, the main ones who rushed to the meeting hall were civil servants, namely Lu Meng, Zhou Tai, Zhu Zhi, Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, Sun Shao, Qin Song, Gu Yong, Yu Fan, and Zhuge Jin.

Civil servants should be headed by Zhang Zhao on the right, and military officials should be headed by the governor Lu Meng. However, Zhu Zhide, the prefect of Wujun County, was highly respected, and it was not a formal court meeting at that time. last seat.

Sun Quan entered the hall through the side door at the back of the hall, walked to the main seat and took a seat, first glanced at everyone, and then opened his mouth to introduce a topic.

"I believe Ziming has informed everyone about the Huainan matter. I didn't see Long Xiang's ambition as a thief and wolf. I didn't see it clearly before. If I don't kill it in time, I will raise a tiger. I want to pour the soldiers from Jiangdong to Hefei;

One is to question Long Xiang, the second is to recover the lost land in Jiangdong, the third is to shame Xue Shouchun, the fourth is to open up the Jianghuai Waterway, and the fifth is to compete for the Central Plains to occupy Huainan. What do you think?Let's have an open and honest discussion today. "

"At this time, Cao Cao's army was in Hebei, but Shouchun was captured by Long Xiang. It is indeed a good opportunity for us to send troops, but"

Zhang Zhao changed the subject, stroked his mottled long beard, and said worriedly: "Based on what I know about Long Xiang, this man is by no means impulsive and reckless, and beside him is Lu Su as a think tank, I am always worried about some conspiracy. "

Qin Song immediately added: "In the face of absolute strength, no matter how powerful the conspiracy is, it is useless. The governor has just counted the soldiers and horses from all over the country. The soldiers that Jiangdong can mobilize at this time have exceeded tens of thousands. How can it be Long Xiangwan? Can the remaining soldiers resist it?"

"It should be more than ten thousand. Long Xiang recently recruited and surrendered. Zhang Liao, Tai Shici, and Chen Lan all brought troops. In particular, Chen Lan has thousands of troops. I guess the total strength of Hefei has exceeded [-]." Lu Meng promptly said. Make a correction.

Hefei and Jiangdong have always been in close contact, and there is no way to hide things like the number of troops stationed. Hefei currently has a total of 6000 troops in the Sixth Army.

Qin Song twirled his mustache and showed a contemptuous smile: "What about 10,000? We have [-]+ in Jiangdong, and the law of war says 'encircle if ten, attack if five.' Now is a good time to send troops."

Lu Meng nodded affirmatively and added: "I'm just stating the situation, and I also very much agree with the use of troops against Hefei. In addition, Longxiang used to be undefeated because there was only one city. Although Hefei's military strength has increased, there are also many cities to fortify. There are quite a few, Liyang, Quanjiao, Fuling, Junqiu, Shouchun, etc., it will be easy for us to defeat each of them."

"Haha, the governor is right."

Qin Song was very happy to hear that most of the people in the meeting hall were outsiders who followed Sun Ce. They never found a sense of belonging in Jiangdong, and they also had conflicts with local people because of their interests.

Compared with Jingzhou in the west, Huainan is the hometown of many outsiders from Jiangdong, such as Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, etc., and its personal emotions can inspire everyone to go to war.

"Governor, if Longxiang shrinks his troops and moves all the people outside of Hefei to Hefei, they will not be able to defeat them one by one. I heard that the new city of Hefei is very large."

There are four families of 'Gu Lu Zhu Zhang' in Wu County, and 'Yu Wei Kong Xie' in Kuaiji County.

As the representative of the great clan in Kuaiji, Yu Fan has always served as an important post in the county no matter in the era of Sun Ce or Sun Quan.

Since Sun Ce settled in Jiangdong, the Sun family has been using troops every year. No matter how rich the family background of the Jiangdong gentry is, the Sun family can't stop the Sun family from spending money.

Seeing that everyone was talking and fighting, and Sun Quan showed a bewildered smile on the stage, Yu Fan felt that it was inappropriate to pour cold water directly, and Gu Yong was not as qualified as himself, so he stood up and pointed out the difficulties first.

As soon as Yu Fan finished speaking, Zhang Hong, who had been silent all this time, stood up to refute him.

"Zhongxiang is worrying too much. If Longxiang gathers all the people in Huainan in Hefei New City, he may be able to hold on for a short time, but how long can Longxiang last with the land and grain storage in Hefei New City? You need to know the whole There are hundreds of thousands of people in Huainan, and what he did was a way of death;
Taking a step back, even if Longxiang has food to defend, we can ignore Hefei and directly occupy all the surrounding cities, and the army and civilians in Hefei can be trapped even if we are sleepy. "

"Haha, the words of the East are very close to my heart."

Sun Quan couldn't help but slapped the table and praised Zhang Hong, his brain truster.

Zhang Hong bowed his hands and reminded Sun Quan: "The [-] soldiers counted by the governor previously included [-] garrisons in Guangling County. If Prefect Lu transfers all the soldiers from Guangling to Huainan, he must be careful of Chen Deng's surprise attack from the east city."

"Chen Deng, this guy has been quiet for a long time."

When Sun Quan was muttering to himself, seeing Zhang Hong's calm expression, he guessed that the other party had a plan to deal with it, so he asked: "Since the east has this concern, can there be a plan to resolve the hidden danger?"

"Yes, Long Xiang brazenly seized Shouchun, and the Huaihe River is connected to the East City. My lord can send envoys to the East City."

As soon as Zhang Hong spoke halfway, Sun Quan knew that he wanted to send an envoy to see Chen Deng, just to talk about benefits or friendship, but Sun Quan and Chen Deng had a long-standing hatred and were unwilling to adopt this suggestion at all, so they didn't listen to it at all.
