Shuhan

Chapter 424 Is this appropriate for you?

"Father, the price of rice in Jianye City has skyrocketed five times in one day. Later, people can no longer even buy rice. Many people in the city are packing their things and preparing to leave Jianye. "

Sun Deng's face was still pale, but he finally stopped coughing when he spoke.

"Lonely knows this."

Sun Quan was sitting in the main hall, his face ashen and his brows furrowed. His eyes were filled with rage, as if it could set the entire hall on fire. His fingers clenched the armrest of the throne tightly, and veins popped out, showing that the anger in his heart had reached its peak.

Huhehuhe~

His breathing was rapid, his chest rose and fell rapidly, and every breath was accompanied by a slight vibrato, as if it was the calm before the storm. The sound was like a sharp blade cutting across the ice, harsh and cold.

Sun Quan is no longer the majestic king he usually was, but a man swallowed by anger.

Those eyes were shining with cold light, as if they could see through everyone's heart. That look made everyone feel an inexplicable sense of oppression, as if they were being stared at by a furious lion.

"Where did the rumors of the alliance between Han and Wei come from? And this rumor has also spread to Jianye. It seems that not enough Jian Junsi has been killed, or some of you are thinking of joining the Han. Or from Wei?"

Sun Quan's language also became sharp and mean.

He loudly questioned the courtiers around him, his tone full of dissatisfaction and reproach.

The words are sharp, like a sharp sword, pointing directly at people's hearts.

The cold words echoed in the hall, making everyone feel his anger.

Sun Deng hurriedly said to the side: "If we rely on others, our country of Wu will have no hope. Whether it is true or false, we must be prepared to deal with it."

Zhuge Jin held the wat tablet in his hand and immediately stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the news is not groundless. This matter is most likely true."

If true, how to deal with it?

The reason why Wu Guo now has the confidence to compete with Han Guo.

That is, being able to rely on the power of Wei to contain the Han army.

but now

You told me about the alliance between Han and Wei.

Then who do I, the State of Wu, count?

Is it appropriate for you to play like this?

"I don't think there's any need to mess up your position."

Jianwei General Lu Fan immediately stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the Governor has established a solid defense line in Xunyang. Pingbei General Pan Zhang, General Yang Can, and General Zhu Huan have all received orders to consolidate Yangzhou's defense line. General Zhu Ran, Guarding Hefei, our country of Wu is like an iron barrel, why should we depend on others?"

Lu Fan's words gave Sun Quan a lot of confidence.

Sun Deng also echoed: "We, the State of Wu, have many elite soldiers and generals. Why should we be afraid of the attack of the Han State? If we are frightened because of some rumors, then all we need is for the whole country of Wu to surrender. What about wealth and dignity?"

"What the Crown Prince and General Jianwei said is absolutely true. Moreover, this news is the news of catching the wind and catching shadows. It may be the conspiracy of the Han Crown Prince Liu Gongsi. Moreover, even if this news is true, is it possible that the Han and Wei Dynasties Between them, their alliance is stable?”

After a brief moment of anger, Sun Quan had regained his composure.

"The enmity between Han and Wei is much deeper than that between Han and Wu. The alliance between the two countries is nothing more than seeking the skin of a tiger and will not last long. Perhaps it is just a tactic to delay the war."

Sun Quan looked around at the officials.

He said these words naturally to stabilize the morale of the North Korean and Chinese troops.

The battle still has to be fought.

Han is not that scary.

The alliance between Han and Wei is pure nonsense.

It will definitely not last long.

If you stick to it, there will be a solution!

There is hope!

"The State of Wei wants to conquer Xuzhou, so it wants to ally with the State of Han to buy time. It can ally with the State of Wu and involve the strength of Xuzhou's troops. And if the State of Han wants to attack our State of Wu, it is also afraid that the State of Wei will attack Runan, the land of Nanyang. , but the alliance between the two countries, to put it bluntly, is a piece of white paper without any binding force and can be torn apart at any time."

Sun Quan's words really made the officials in the palace think deeply.

The panic they had when they first heard the news about the Han-Wei alliance had almost disappeared.

Now is not the time to panic.

Gu Yong thought in his heart.

When the Wu Kingdom is defeated and the Han army approaches the city, it will not be too late to panic.

in fact

When that time comes, he, Gu Yong, doesn't have to panic.

Isn't it just to change my allegiance to another lord?

No matter who is going to govern Jiangdong, how can he manage the land of Jiangdong well without the help of his Jiangdong nobles? The choice to be a loyal minister and a leader has never been in his hands, Gu Yong, but in the hands of this situation.

"The panic in Jianye City must have been caused by the military commander. He killed a group of people and then appeased the people. He took grain and grass from the granary and bought it per head. Anyone who hoarded it would be killed without mercy!"

In wartime, there must be wartime rules.

As a citizen of Wu State, I do not contribute to the prosperity of Wu State. Instead, I only think about myself in times of crisis, messing up the people's hearts and messing up my country, Wu.

Then don't blame me, Sun Zhongmou, for being bad with the sword.

After Wu Wanggong retired from the court.

Sun Quan, King of Wu, summoned the leader of Cijiatun, Zhuge Ke, in the inner chamber of the palace.

"My lord, pay homage to the king!"

When Zhuge Ke met Sun Quan, he was like a mouse meeting a cat. He was like an eggplant beaten by frost.

"There are a few things I want to ask you."

Ask about something, or several things?

Being summoned alone gave Zhuge Ke a very bad premonition.

But he still forced a smile on his face at this moment.

"Your Majesty, if you have something to do, feel free to come and ask. I will naturally know everything and tell you everything."

"it is good!"

He still liked Zhuge Ke's attitude.

"In that case, Nagu will get straight to the point. The first thing is, where did the news about the alliance between Han and Wei that has been circulating in Jianye in the past few days come from?"

Seeing that Zhuge Ke was hesitating and speechless, Sun Quan glared at Sun Deng and said, "Don't hesitate. You are the leader of the assassination camp. Are you unaware of Wu's intelligence? What if? If you don't even know this, that's dereliction of duty! I could spare your life back then, but now I can kill you."

Seeing Sun Quan threatening his life, how dare Zhuge Ke remain silent?

He immediately said: "This news comes from Jiangling, along the caravan."

Caravan?

Sun Quan frowned.

"Where did the caravan come from?"

The State of Wu and the State of Han can now be said to be in the stage of severing diplomatic relations.

And it's almost like a wartime situation.

Where did the caravan come from?

Zhuge Ke had no choice but to say honestly: "It's the caravan that destroyed Jian Changhou Mansion."

Sun Lu's caravan?

Sun Quan was a little confused.

"What ability does Lu'er have to get a caravan from Han?"

"The Marquis of Waste Jianchang has the qualifications of the Han Kingdom's merchant alliance. I heard that his rank is not low, and he can bring merchants from the Han Kingdom."

At this point, Sun Quan understood.

No wonder the person in charge of purchasing in King Wu's palace bought him ten pairs of high-quality cold food powders. He also wondered where these high-quality cold food powders came from.

The result came from his good son.

"Why does he have the documents to join the Han Guo Merchant Alliance?"

Sun Quan was angry and angry when the investigation found out that his son was involved.

"Given by the envoy of Han Dynasty."

Ha ha.

"Are you afraid that the evidence about the prince was exchanged from the Han envoy?"

Sun Quan had a clear understanding in his heart.

Zhuge Ke looked at Sun Quan's uncertain expression and hoped in his heart:

You see that the useless Marquis Jianchang has done so many outrageous things, why not just demote him to another place.

He found another excuse for Shan Yue to cause trouble, and killed him to get rid of any future troubles.

However.

Sun Quan's next words shocked him.
