Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 724
Due to the disputes among the four parties, Zhou Cang changed his mind and planned to play a bigger game of chess.Sun Quan is capable and has a group of generals under him, but his current form is not enough to participate in this dispute, and he needs this gun to clear the way.In South Asia, such as Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, and Myanmar, these vast lands that have not yet been cultivated, let Sun Quan conquer them. Perhaps one day in history, Emperor Sun Quan will record a strong stroke.

Zhou Cang was not worried that Sun Quan would completely fall to Cao Pi. When Sun Quan was in trouble, Cao Pi not only failed to lend a helping hand to Sun Quan who had professed himself a minister, but took the opportunity to take Xiangyang and lost Sun Quan's trust.

Zhuge Jin and Zhang Zi hurried all the way, panting and rushed back to Xiakou to report to Sun Quan.Sun Quan glanced at Zhang Zhao, and it was [-]% as Zhang Zhao expected.

"My lord, we need to make up our minds as soon as possible. Zhou Cang said that he will not stop marching." Zhuge Jin said anxiously.

Zhang Zhao shook his head slightly: "Ziyu don't worry, he just wants to force me to submit, he won't attack with all his strength, it's neither in his nor in my favor."

Only leaving one Jiaozhou and abandoning other places, Sun Quan felt pained.Starting from his father, Sun Jian, the country that was finally conquered, is Zhou Cang so cheap?
Zhang Zhao stared at Zhuge Jin and asked, "Zhou Cang keeps talking about the big man, so does it mean that he has no intention of usurping the man?"

Zhuge Jin was taken aback, and looked at Zhang Zi, Zhang Zi told him everything he had seen and heard.Zhang Zhao pondered for a while, then sighed slightly: "It seems that Zhou Cang didn't think so. I read his Anthology of Jian'an, and I also had correspondence with the Xun family. When I talked about Zhou Cang's ambitions, I thought it was a falsehood Talk, I didn't expect it to be so. This person can be called a strange person in the world, if a big man can do this, I am afraid that he will last forever."

Zhang Zhao is clearly optimistic about Zhou Cang, Sun Quan is even more depressed, is Gu so unbearable?Uh, it seems to be like this, how about being beaten passively.

"Zibu thinks Gu should accept it?" Sun Quan was slightly displeased.

"I am now surrounded by enemies on three sides, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to stop them. The Han Dynasty is the most powerful. Sooner or later, Cao Pi and Liu Bei will be wiped out by them. Up to now, only the Han Dynasty is the only option." Zhang Zhao said bluntly. "If the lord surrenders to the imperial court, he will lose people and land, and he will retain wealth, but it will be difficult to have descendants. If it is a vassal state, the lord can still be king and leave a legacy."

Zhang Zi shook his head: "The land of Jiaozhou, with poor mountains and bad waters, and the dangers of poisonous jungle insects, is not a good place..." As the Jiangdong gentry did not want to leave their hometown, without Yu Fan, Bu Zhi and others, Zhang Zi inevitably expressed his opinion.

Zhang Zhao hehe said: "Since ancient times, where did good land come from? It was the ancestors who fished, farmed, hunted, and opened up fields to reclaim wasteland to create a rich land. Although Jiaozhou is far away, its rice is harvested twice or even three times a year, which is our greatest reliance. Liaodong It was originally a place of bitter cold, but Zhou Cang crossed the sea and attacked it. He has been in business for 20 years, and he is rich in the world, comparable to Xuzhou. Why does it take 20 years with the talent and virtue of the lord?"

Zhang Zhao looked at Sun Quan. The lord is not yet 40 years old, and he can still be in power for at least 30 to 20 years. This time can still be relied on. "According to what Zhou Cang said, I can relocate [-]% of the people, but there is no limit. I can relocate young and strong people, and I can get [-] people. If it doesn't take ten years, why not worry about Jiaozhou?"

Sun Quan's face is much better. Not counting Jingnan's population, there are 20 young and strong, and nearly 20 people can farm the fields, and even three mountains can be leveled!

"Listen to what the old governor of Jiaozhou said, the west of Jiaozhou is vast and boundless, and the south is poor and far away. There is only a big country named Guishuang with a population of only one million. Zhou Cang allows me to conquer, but I don't know that the land in the south is no less than the Central Plains. The ancients said: I'd rather be a chicken head than a cow's queen, the lord can become the king here, and he can become the hegemony!" Zhang Zhao talked eloquently.

The more he talked, the more Sun Quan's heart moved, and the bit of unwillingness and reluctance in his heart was gradually put aside.Yes, why bother to compete with Zhou Cang and Cao Pi for the world, if not, you will have nothing, or even lose your head.Take a step back, the sea and the sky are bright, the reputation of southern Xinjiang is not good, but it can keep the throne, and the development potential is unlimited, and one day it may surpass the big man.

"Mr. Zibu's words are kind, and those who worry about loneliness, all the civil and military people don't think so." Sun Quan was very worried. If his subordinates did not want to leave, wouldn't he be lonely again?

Zhuge Jin said: "Zhou Cang said that my lord can have the four Jingnan counties temporarily..."

Sun Quan looked at Zhang Zhao, Zhang Zhao nodded with a smile, his meaning was very clear, and he gradually retreated without telling the truth, and when they found out it was too late; Zhang Zi's expression turned slightly bitter.

"Today's discussion must not be passed on to the outside world!" Sun Quan said sharply, "Zhang Zi, I will take you as the captain of Diannong, and go to the Jiaozhou Special Division to farm the fields. I will send someone from your family to send it."

Zhang Zi was promoted, but was sent to Jiaozhou.

"My subject Zhuge Ke can help." Zhuge Jin bowed and said.

"Sure." Sun Quan was delighted.Jiaozhou will be his foothold in the future and needs to be enriched. Not only Zhuge Ke will go, but also many civil and military personnel will be sent to Jiaozhou one after another.

"Ziyu, you go to Jinan again to meet Zhou Cang and agree to his conditions." Sun Quan thought for a while. "But I have three requirements. One is to stop fighting, and let our soldiers and horses, civil and military, and family members leave without forcing them to stay; Years, and ten years later it will be dedicated to the imperial court."

Zhuge Jin hurried to Jinan again.Zhou Cang laughed and said, "Thanks to Mr. Ziyu's timely arrival, my men and horses have occupied Kuaiji and surrounded Zhang Ying's troops in Linhai. I have ordered Yujin to suspend the attack." The tone clearly indicated that Sun Quan was determined.

It turns out that the general named Yu was banned by Wenze!Zhuge Jin was taken aback, "I have already presented to my lord the intention of assisting the Duke of the state, and my lord has three requests." Zhuge Jin stated Sun Quan's three requests one by one.

"This is a small matter, and it's rare for Zhongmou to see the overall situation. I will definitely not go to your family's wealth. If necessary, I can also arrange for ships to be transported to Jiaozhou by sea to avoid bumps on the road."

"Duke Zhou kindly understands, don't bother Duke Zhou." Zhuge Jin politely refused, not because he was worried that Zhou Cang would repent and rob the wealth, but because these wealth could not be transported to Jiaozhou, but to Jingnan, otherwise civil and military would be suspicious. "The ten-year agreement, please Zhou Cang not to disclose it to the outside world."

Zhou Cang saw through this thought, so naturally he would not reveal it. "Then please tell Zhong Xiang, Mr. Ziyu, that our army will take over Jiankang."

"I still have something to ask." Zhuge Jin hesitated and said, "My youngest son Zhuge Rong is curious about ingenuity, and my younger brother Zhuge is here, so I want my son to join my younger brother."

"Hahaha, it's easy to say, easy to say, I will send someone to do it. Oh, I will let him go to the mansion to pick up the young master in person." Zhou Cang laughed, "But there is one thing I want to explain to Ziyu. When I get the Kuaiji , Sun Shao, the son of General Bofu, is willing to join the imperial court, the emperor loves him very much, and he has stayed with him."
