Chapter 382 Great Construction ([-])
建业
When Sun Quan's main force went to attack Hefei, which was defended by Lu Lingqi, the Wang family who received the news directly sent a fleet to attack Sun Wu from the sea, taking the opportunity to plunder talents, especially the artisans, scholars, and doctors of Wu.

More than 200 Liaodong ships came to the mouth of the Yangtze River and drove straight to the pier of Stone City.

This is the first time that the Central Plains regime has felt the threat from the sea. Before, they only felt the threat from the grassland.

The Royal fleet wore the military uniform of the State of Wu grandly, disguised as soldiers of the State of Wu, and asked sailors with an accent of Soochow to trick the guard of Stone City into opening the city gate.

Because it was the first time someone dared to do this, Chen Wu, the guard of Stone City, was unprepared and opened the city gate.

"Your Majesty's attack on Hefei is very tense. Now we need to recruit artisans to the front line to make siege equipment, doctors to the front line to treat soldiers, and scholars to manage the areas that will be occupied." The leader, Jiangdong The Wang family sailor with an accent said so under the gesture of the Wang family's children.

Sun Quan, like Cao Pi, has not yet proclaimed himself emperor, but the king of Wu, that is, the king of Wu of Great Zhao!
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, two hundred royal family soldiers and one thousand royal security teams moved from Stone City to Jianye City, and began to forcefully recruit talents in the city.

When the recruitment was almost done, the Wang family's soldiers loaded these talents on board, and then left Jianye in front of everyone.

Thousands of craftsmen, more than 80 doctors, and more than 30 scholars were taken away.

Not only talents, but also the gold in Sun Quan's treasury was transported away by the royal fleet.

Don't ask, asking is the order of Wu Wang Sun Quan.

"Those people just now are really the king's troops?" Zhang Zhao was very puzzled, wondering whether Wu Guo had encountered a scammer.

"How could it be possible for the Central Plains army to go deep into Jianye City, and the Central Plains navy is not good enough, so it must be the king's army." Chen Wu said.

at the same time
Hefei
"Damn it! Zhao Guo actually moved Hefei City away!" Sun Quan looked at Hefei City in the distance, feeling very uncomfortable.

The former city of Hefei was right next to Peng Li (Chaohu Lake). He could attack Hefei at any time by taking advantage of the water force, and he could also retreat at any time by taking advantage of the water force.

But now, Lu Lingqi directly moved Hefei to a location further north, away from the lake.

If Sun Quan wanted to attack Hefei, he had to disembark and walk a long distance.

Regardless of the fact that the distance is only ten miles, it can be described as hell for Sun Quan, because the ten-mile plain is enough for Zhao Guo's cavalry to gallop.

"It seems that Sun Quan is going back soon." Said the deputy general of Hefei City.

"No! Sun Quan will disembark!" However, Lu Lingqi was very firm.

"Governor, why is this?" The lieutenant general was puzzled.

"Sun Quan has a very low self-esteem in his heart, so he is very concerned about face. He is afraid that others will look down on him, so he will definitely disembark to show off his power, so that he will not be ridiculed by the Jiangdong nobles after withdrawing his troops and returning to Jianye." Lu Lingqi said to herself. , She has guarded Hefei for several years, fought against Sun Quan several times, and has seen through Sun Quan.

She really understands Sun Quan too well!

Therefore, Lu Lingqi arranged an ambush outside Hefei City, waiting for Sun Quan to throw himself into the trap.

Not long after, Sun Quan got off the boat with his troops and horses, and came to the city of Hefei, where he taunted and swaggered: "Lu Lingqi, open the city gate and surrender to the king, otherwise..."

In the middle of Sun Quan's words, suddenly!

"kill!"

The ambush soldiers who had been lying in wait for a long time suddenly rushed to the rear of the Soochow army and stabbed Sun Quan in the ass.

At this time, the gate of Hefei city also opened suddenly, and Lu Lingqi personally led Da Zhao's last hundred tiger and leopard riders to rush towards Sun Quan.

Under attack from both sides, Sun Quan was at a loss. He fled in a panic and ran towards the fleet on the lake, regardless of the life and death of the [-] troops under the city of Hefei.

Sun Quan fled in panic again under the city of Hefei, and the [-] troops were in a mess. Some of them wanted to attack Lu Lingqi, but Lu Lingqi had already retreated into the city.

shhhhhh!
The defenders on the city wall shot arrows at those Wu soldiers who dared to approach the city wall.

"what!--"

After paying a little casualties, the remaining Wu soldiers also fled in all directions, most of them fled towards the direction of the fleet, but some who didn't want to go back to Jiangdong simply surrendered.

At the edge of Pengli Lake, General Xu Sheng of the State of Wu led hundreds of people to maintain order and resist those Hefei ambushes by the way.

The scene was messy, but fortunately there were only a few thousand ambush soldiers in Hefei, so after killing the Soochow army into chaos, these thousands of ambush soldiers withdrew back to Hefei City to avoid being surrounded by Sun Quan who reacted.

"Damn it!" Looking at the [-] troops whose morale had collapsed, Sun Quan was very angry, but there was nothing he could do.

This city of Hefei is really too difficult.

"Instead of taking Hefei, it is better to take Jingzhou!" At this time, Sun Quan suddenly remembered Zhou Yu's advice to him before his death, that is, we must take the entire Jingzhou, otherwise Jiangdong will have no strategic depth.

Thinking like this, Sun Quan began to return to Jianye. When he returned to Jianye...

boom!
"You bastard! How did Gu ever recruit artisans, doctors, and scholars to the front line?"

"What? The gold in the Gufu treasury has also been transported away?!"

"The two lonely princesses were also taken away?!"

"Damn it! Where did the pirates come from? They are so daring to come to Jianye to cheat!"

King Wu of Zhao is about to collapse, and it doesn't matter if Hefei can't be defeated. There are still "pirates" stealing his house, transporting all the gold in his treasury, and transporting all kinds of talents away.

two years later
Summer of the 22nd year of Marquis Yan (232)
sugar cane island

sugar cane city

"Mr. Xun!"

Hearing that Xun Yu died of illness, Cai Yan came to visit him in person.

"My father suddenly coughed continuously last night, and then... woo woo woo!" cried Xun Yu's son, who was the offspring of Xun Yu and a scholar lady who was captured by the Wang family on the island.

Cai Yan is now 56 years old, but has no son or daughter.

She and Xun Yu joined forces to govern the sugarcane island, making the people on the sugarcane island live and work in peace and contentment, and the crime rate plummeted. Moreover, some natives of the sugarcane island were sinicized by them and became Han Chinese, and then helped them deal with those who were enemies of the Wang family. of sugar cane indigenous.

Under the governance of Cai Yan and Xun Yu, the death rate on Sugarcane Island dropped from 97% to 90%, allowing a large number of immigrants to survive.

She and Xun Yu personally organized doctors to take care of those patients, and called on the immigrants on the island to exercise every day. As long as they keep fit, they can improve their resistance to miasma.

Today, Sugarcane Island has 20 immigrants, which is more than the current population of a county in the Central Plains.

But the price paid was extremely heavy. More than 500 million immigrants died on Sugarcane Island due to miasma.

Over the past few decades, the Wang family has transported more than 500 million people from the Central Plains to Sugarcane Island, but only 22 people survived in the end.

The population of the Central Plains mainly died of war, famine, and plague, and the population of the Wang family mainly died of land reclamation and miasma.
