Shuhan

Chapter 417 If you want to learn from Ban Chao, I have a plan!

In fact, within these few days, Sun Quan began to kill people.

Killed many people.

In Jianye East Market, there were so many heads falling off one by one.

Blood stained the soil of Dongshi red, and the smell of blood has not dissipated even now.

Killing so many people, on the one hand, some people were found to be connected with Jian Junsi, or were directly from Jian Junsi.

另外

Among those who were killed, there were also some disobedient wealthy people.

There is a war, money and silk are needed, but you, as a big family, don't donate or contribute. I'm sorry, I, Sun Zhongmou, have to use physical methods to make you work.

Under the high-pressure policies during the war, he believed that no one would be so bold and dare to hoard.

But

The merchants are not hoarding, and the people who can't stand Jianye are dispersed. Everyone knows that a war is coming. In addition, the Han army is brave and good at fighting. After going back and forth, the people of Wu are negative about whether the Wu army can defeat the Han army. Attitude.

Ever since, everyone just wanted to survive.

As long as they have some money, they will buy rice like crazy.

Not to mention that the food and grass in Jianye City is enough for one year, even if it is enough for ten years, it cannot withstand such crazy buying.

"What should we do in the current situation?"

If the people continue to buy more, the food will really not be enough.

"The top priority is to have confidence in the people of Jianye. We, the great Wu warriors, can defend the territory of Wu. Moreover, Jianye is a hundred miles away from Jiangxia, and the Han army will not be able to attack Jianye."

It's right to reassure people.

But how to appease him is another question.

"Perhaps the king can go hunting outside Jianye City in the winter to show his confidence. In addition, during the New Year's Day, the New Year's activities in Jianye City can be organized."

King Wu dared to hunt in the fields outside Jianye City, which proved that King Wu was confident in defending against Han attacks.

Once the New Year atmosphere is created, the panic before the war will be eliminated a lot.

"this is a good idea."

When the Han Kingdom comes to attack, what are you ordinary people afraid of?

"In addition, grain and grass were transported from Wu County and Kuaiji, so that the common people could see with their own eyes that these grain and grass were entering Jianye, and dispel their thoughts of food shortage in the city."

The war hasn't started yet!

There must be no chaos in Jianye City.

Of course, as the King of Wu, Sun Quan has experienced many things, so he added another sentence later.

"If there is really not enough food and grass, we will limit the purchase of rice and grain and collect food and grass from the people in the city to prepare for the war."

If the war really comes to Jianye, then everything must be done to protect Jianye.

At that time, he, Sun Quan, would not care about the life and death of the people in the city.

From this perspective, those who have the ability to leave Jianye are far-sighted.

"promise!"

Zhuge Jin immediately took the order.

"The Grand Governor has gone to Xunyang to build a defensive line. Lu Meng has arrived in Yuzhang County to prevent the people of Shanyue from causing rebellion and to prevent the Han army from breaking through from Changsha County."

If the Han army wanted to attack the Kingdom of Wu, there were four or five ways to enter the Kingdom of Wu from the three counties in Jingnan. Naturally, the Kingdom of Wu could not defend them all. They could only collect intelligence in advance and watch the movements of the Han army to prepare for it.

The most important thing is to prevent the Han army from flowing directly down the river.

If they go straight down from the river, if the Wu army cannot resist it, the Han army will be able to reach Jianye in a few days.

is the reason

The place where Sun Quan spent the most time was in Xunyang.

Offensive and defensive.

The attacking side must choose the right moment.

The defending side must prepare in advance.

But if there is a war, whether it is Han or Wu, they are fighting for money and desperately.

If he did not fight this battle, Sun Quan would naturally be willing.

However.

It's impossible now.

Sun Quan already knew that Liu Gongsi, the prince of Han Dynasty, went straight from Jiangzhou to Jiangling along the river.

When Liu Chan arrived in Jiangling, it also represented a signal: the Han army was not just talking about attacking Wu, he was really going to do it!

Being bullied right at his doorstep, Sun Quan naturally had no intention of sitting still and waiting for death.

If you want to fight, then fight to the fullest!

"What has the prince been doing lately?"

Sun Quan suddenly asked this question.

"The prince has been in the prince's residence, receiving guests. This time, the Wu gentry faction donated money and silk. It is precisely because of His Highness the prince that the amount donated by this faction is enough to meet the expenses."

"Oh?"

Sun Quan responded softly, showing no emotion on his part.

This prince was the lubricant between him, the King of Wu, and the Jiangdong nobles.

There's a war and the nobles are bleeding?

Of course they don't want to.

But

If you don't do anything to save the country, I will kill everyone in your family!

The Crown Prince of Wu was able to ask for money and silk not because of his merits, but because of Sun Quan's reputation.

"Recently, many people have written letters, saying that the deposed Marquis Sunli of Jianchang behaved inappropriately, formed a clique for personal gain, and intended to rebel. What do you think of this matter?"

Sun Quan asked Zhuge Jin a question.

Are they all charged with treason?

The smile on Zhuge Jin's face was very forced, but he looked at Sun Quan's half-smiling expression and knew that he could not get away with it, so he immediately said: "The Marquis of Waste Jianchang has indeed attracted a lot of limelight recently, and the king wants to stop him. However, he did not take the king's ban seriously, and he also received envoys from Han and Wei, and did many extraordinary things, but when it comes to rebellion, it should not be to that extent."

As a minister, you must be able to understand your master's thoughts.

Zhuge Jin saw it clearly.

Whether it was taking Sun Lu's Marquis of Jianchang away or grounding him, it was all to protect Sun Lu.

It proves that Sun Quan still cares about Sun Liu.

Otherwise, he would have been sent out of Jianye long ago, and he would not have been left under his nose.

Even if Sun Lu is Sun Deng's spare tire, he is still a spare tire, right?

Better than nothing.

After catching Sun Quan's mind, his answer will be easy to handle.

"Maybe there is no rebellion, but the rumors about the prince in Jianye City are probably spread by him."

Sun Quan narrowed his eyes and suddenly asked such a question.

"Are you talking about the prince's body?"

The prince's body?

Zhuge Jin immediately said: "The prince is in good health. Your Majesty, please don't be swayed by rumors."

Swayed by rumors.

But

He has evidence!

Sun Quan hesitated for a moment and then said: "It's not easy for me to make the specific decision to call Sun Liu into the palace, but I need to understand the specific things clearly."

The crown prince of Wu State must at least live longer than him.

otherwise

If he died in front of him, didn't he train this prince in vain?

Besides

A lot of Wu forces are attached to the prince. If the prince suddenly disappears, what will happen to these forces?

Wouldn't it cause chaos in the court?

If the transfer of power is not careful, it will be a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

Sun Quan knew the Yin Jian of Zhao State clearly during the Warring States Period!

"Your Majesty, this"

Zhuge Jin looked worried, but Sun Quan just waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, Gu is well aware of this."

Do you know what to expect?

Zhuge Jin suddenly had a premonition that the world seemed to be about to change.

But before the war, Wu State still needs stability!

"Has the Han envoy left?"

Sima Yi, who was slightly pale and had two dark circles under his eyes, asked in the Wei Guo Post House.

"This morning, the Han envoy left Jianye." The two countries were at war and the envoy was not killed.

Sun Quan still had some grace. Even though Huo Yi had an arrogant attitude, he still had no intention of killing him.

of course

Perhaps Sun Quan still had a little bit of hope in his heart.

If there is room for relaxation, wouldn't that mean there is no need to fight?

And if the Han envoy is killed, it will be a complete fight to the death, and there will only be one battle.

"It seems that King Wu is still lucky, but this is a great disadvantage for our country, Wei."

Sima Yi frowned and suddenly asked: "How many people can our Wei State mobilize around Jianye?"

How many manpower will be dispatched?

The guard of the mission was stunned for a moment, but he immediately said: "Including the people in the mission, there are more than three hundred people, but if we want to be dispatched silently, we can only send out a hundred people at most."

After all, they are like the guards in the mission, who are always under the surveillance of Wu State.

We can only use the power of the school affairs office.

The envoy's guard was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought of some possibility.

"What does the messenger mean to intercept and kill the Han delegation?"

Sima Yi nodded and said: "Killing the Han envoy will leave Wu Guocai with no way out. With Sun Zhong's character as a leader, I can't fully trust him. Extraordinary means must be used, otherwise the interests of Wei Guo cannot be lost." Keep."

Following Ban Chao's story, he intercepted and killed the Han envoy.

Cut off Sun Quan's last thoughts.

"But will this matter anger Wu Guo?"

Offended?

Sima Yi smiled contemptuously and said, "Does he still dare to kill me?"

After offending the Han State, you still dare to offend the Wei State?

Unless Sun Quan is really tired of living.

"I heard that there are many river bandits on the river. If we can bribe them, we will be more confident in dealing with the Han envoys this time."

River bandits and mountain bandits are the same.

In addition to desperadoes, there are also more common people who cannot survive and have no choice but to drop grass in order to avoid taxes.

It's just that where there are mountains, grass falls, which is banditry. The river network is dense, there are many woods, and the grass nests are high and deep, so it can accommodate water bandits.

In the past few years, Jiangdong had suffered repeated defeats and had to cede territory and pay compensation. These things were all passed on to the people by Sun Quan.

On top of the original taxes, an additional Han tax was added.

Originally, the taxes in Jiangdong were not light. An additional tax directly caused many bankrupt people to join the river and become bandits.

Big and small Qiao were plundered by river bandits. The reason why so many people in Wu State believe it is because river bandits are indeed rampant in Wu State.

It is not impossible for a noble girl to be robbed by Jiang bandits.

"There is no need to be stingy with the amount of money and silk. If this plan is successful, we will really succeed in this mission."

Sima Yi could already imagine himself in a high position in the Wei Kingdom.

even

When he conquered Zang Ba in Xuzhou, he was able to lead the troops.

But the premise is that there must be credit!

That night.

The night is dark and windy.

The moon on the fifth day of the lunar month was not bright, as if it had been taken a big bite by a delicious child.

The wind is strong on the river.

Huhuhu~

With some snow foam, it blows directly towards your face.

If it has thin skin and tender flesh, the face will crack and bleed immediately.

is the reason

In winter, few people really dare to stand on the deck all the time.

In the cabin, the oil lamp brought some rare light to the small room.

Huo Yi was wearing armor and looked at Jian Junsi's work, who came to report in front of him, with a serious expression.

"Then Sima Yi wants to attack and kill us?"

Jian Junsi Xizuo was a native of Wu.

It was just because of taxation that his family went bankrupt and he was forced to become a bandit. In the end, he was taken as a pawn by the Chief of Military Affairs to detect intelligence.

"Yes, the Wei State sent people to bribe the bandits on the river with a lot of money. They are coming here with a hundred elite men and hundreds of river bandits."

Hundreds of people, really a big deal.

Fortunately

He wasn't defenseless either.

"Go and notify the escorting Wu Jun and let them take care of it."

After saying that, Huo Yi didn't even want to deal with it.

The deputy envoy of the Han Dynasty was from the Jiangwu Hall. He looked at Huo Yi hesitantly and said: "Envoy, the one escorting us is Xu Sheng of the Wu Kingdom. He is an anti-Han faction in the Wu Kingdom's court. If What should we do if we sit back and watch us being attacked by water bandits without rescuing us?"

Huo Yi chuckled lightly and said: "Sail the boat towards the Wu army. I want to see if he will save him or not. If we are in the territory of Wu State, and we ask for help from Wu State and remain indifferent, this is the same as Wu State killing us." What's the difference? If that's the case, then we'll all deserve our death."

Originally, the reason why Han State attacked Wu State was a bit far-fetched.

After his death, this reason became justifiable.

"Ah this."

The deputy envoy of Han was stunned and had no idea that Huo Yi had such thoughts.

"But don't worry, this is just the worst outcome. Xu Sheng is a general of the Sun family. He doesn't dare to risk his own life and the whole family by refusing to save him."

Huo Yi is not afraid of death. If death contributes to the revival of the Han Dynasty, what if it is just death?

of course

It's best not to die.

Leave a useful life and continue to contribute to the revival of the Han Dynasty!

On the other side, Xu Sheng soon received news from the Han mission.

"General, the Han envoy said that the Wei State sent river bandits to intercept and kill them on the river. Now the Han envoy's fleet is coming towards us. Should we control it or ignore it?"

Xu Sheng was wearing armor and had a stern expression.

He really wanted to say, I don’t want to care.

But

He could not ignore the current situation of the Han mission.

"The king sent me to escort the Han delegation. He should have expected this. But... why me?"

Of course, Sun Quan did not expect that Wei Guo would attack and kill the Han envoy.

This was what Huo Yi had requested in advance.

Now it finally comes in handy.

"Just beat the drum to scare off those river bandits."

Bandits on the river are like leeks. After killing one group, there will be another group. It is impossible to kill them all.

Xu Sheng didn't want to waste the arrow clusters. Besides, if there were people from Wei among them, wouldn't killing them offend Wei?

It's best to learn from the opposite side and retreat.

As for sending the Han envoy out of Wu, you have to kill or behead them, please do as you please.

As he spoke, he said to the small school beside him: "Send a small boat to inform those Wei people that they are not allowed to harass the Han envoys in the Wu Kingdom. If you leave the Wu Kingdom, let them do whatever they want."

He had already seen that the Han envoy Huo Yi was unhappy.

If he could be spared his life this time, it would be a relief.

dong dong dong~

Several giant ships beat drums, and the sound spread across the river.

Those Jiang bandits were originally planning to come in a big way, but when they saw the Wu army, they dared not make any mistakes, so the people from the Wei State School Affairs Office had no choice but to leave in anger.

A possible tragedy was eliminated invisibly.

After the risk passed, Huo Yi did not relax at all.

"Now in the territory of Wu State, with the escort of Wu Army, it is still safe, but if we leave the territory of Wu, there may be danger. However, it can also be seen from this that Wei State is eager to have a war between Han State and Wu State, so that it can just sit back and reap the benefits. benefits."

Huo Yi thought in his heart that he must tell His Highness the news.

Now is not the time to attack Wu. If Wu is really defeated, Wei will be very happy.
