"You want to make peace?" Sun Ce was also stunned for a moment, he couldn't believe his eyes, because Sun Ce's plan was that Liu Mang, the king of Shu, sent an army to attack Jiangdong in anger, and he, Sun Ce, did everything well. Trade space for time, let’s abandon all Jiangdong and Yangzhou, and then enter Jiaozhou direction, rely on Jiangdong’s people’s support and the money and food sent by Jingzhou over there to rebuild the army, and then enter Jiangdong, but what Sun Ce didn’t expect was that Yangzhou would Stop fighting, and come to make peace.
Sun Ce couldn't believe it, but this Yang Hong below is not fake. He is indeed Yangzhou's foreign minister, that is, Yangzhou's envoy. It's enough for people to come, why should this Yang Hong go out in person.
"Mr. Yang Hong is really here to make peace?" Sun Ce asked uncertainly.
"Hehe, Wu Hou, I'm standing here for the real deal, Wu Hou, what do you think?" Yang Hong treated everyone with a smiling expression.
"Little Liu Mang, no, didn't His Royal Highness the King of Shu ask you, Mr. Yang Hong, to send you a letter of war?" Sun Ce was ready to go to war with Yangzhou, and Sun Ce took advantage of the public anger of the people in Jiangdong against the Yangzhou Army, so he recruited There are quite a few soldiers and horses, and now there are 30,000 soldiers in the army. Our Liu Mang gave Jiangdong the money to build the army and horses, and the 15,000 Yangzhou new army's food and grass. The 30,000 soldiers Sun Ce thought that if he could survive 3,000 to 5,000, Sun Ce made money, and those who survived would definitely be the elite.
"Whether it's a war letter or not, Lord Wu Hou can tell at a glance!" Yang Hong handed over the letter in his hand.
"Oh!" Sun Ce received a letter from Yang Hong's hand, looking at the cover of the letter, it was written by his brother Sun Ce. Liu Mang married Sun Ce's younger sister, Sun Shangxiang, so he should be called a big brother.
Sun Ce watched all the way. It was written all the kind words of Shu Wang Liu Mang to Sun Ce. What everyone got together, what everyone should write to each other, in the end it was a reconciliation, saying that all this was a misunderstanding, and it was originally here to mediate the conflict between the eldest brother and the second brother, and there was Liu Mang's seal of the King of Shu on it .
Sun Ce's eyes were shining, but it wasn't because of Liu Mang's words of harmony, but because there was another sentence on top of this letter. That is, 20,000 shi of grain and grass were sent as a present for Mr. Marquis Wu who did not invite us to get married.
"Your Highness, King Shu, no, my brother-in-law really sent 20,000 shi of grain and grass?" Sun Ce's eyes are shining. Before the 20,000 shi of grain and grass, Sun Ce would at most take a look at it, but he wouldn't I am very concerned, but it is different now, Jiangdong is so poor that he is almost like pants, twenty thousand shi, even two thousand shi. Sun Ce would want it, let alone 20,000 shi. This can form another motley army of 20,000 people. Even the elite can form a team of 5,000 people.
So for the 20,000 shi of food and grass, Sun Ce actually called Liu Mang his brother-in-law.
"It's natural. The 20,000 shi of grain and grass has been loaded on the ship. It should be outside the Yangtze River now, and it should be in the Jiangdong territory by time." Yang Hong smiled and counted the time.
"Oh?" Sun Ce was still in doubt, and soon a general ran in and cupped his fists at the lord Sun Ce, saying, "Report to my lord that there is an extra fleet on the Yangtze River."
"What kind of fleet and how many people are there?" Sun Ce remained vigilant in case Yang Hong would come to speak and Liu Mang would sneak up on Chen Cang, that would be terrible.
"There are more than a dozen warships, and the rest are all merchant ships. Each merchant ship seems to have something loaded on it, and they are all fully loaded." The messenger said to Sun Ce, "Huang Gai asked me to ask my lord, how to deal with this one?" fleet?"
"Mr. Yang Hong's is really food and grass?" Sun Ce asked again.
"Wu Hou is natural. If it's not grain, why would we use a merchant ship?" Yang Hong said with a smile. He knew that Sun Ce was worried that the merchant ship was loaded with soldiers instead of grain, so Yang Hong dismissed it immediately. Overcoming Sun Ce's scruples, if you want to install soldiers and horses, you can just use military ships. Why use merchant ships? Isn't it superfluous! How many soldiers and horses can a merchant ship carry.
"Hurry up, tell Huang Gai to prepare those merchant ships to enter the Jianye Water Village!" Sun Ce said to the words under his hand, whether these ships were loaded with food or soldiers, I believe that Huang Gai would naturally check them when they entered the port. If it is an enemy, then it is just to close the door and beat the dog. If it is food, then just accept it.
"Slow down!" Yang Hong stopped Sun Ce, "Without an order from Marquis Wu, it is impossible for these grain ships to sail into Jianye's port." Yang Hong said with a smile.
"Mr. Yang Hong, what do you mean? Who is this person?" Sun Ce was a little anxious. Sun Ce urgently needs the 20,000 shi of grain and grass.
"This person is my Lord Lu Su, Minister of the Ministry of Officials in Yangzhou." Yang Hong said to Sun Ce.
"Lu Su?" There was hesitation in Sun Ce's eyes. Sun Ce naturally saw Lu Su's talent. Lu Su could be tricked by Zhou Yu. Even later, Lu Su still understood, but by that time it was already too late and he was put under house arrest by Zhou Yu.
"Hehe, Lu Shangshu from Yangzhou has already returned!" Sun Ce laughed, he didn't want to teach Lu Su to Yangzhou, because although he called Liu Mang's brother-in-law on the surface, they were actually enemies.
"Hehe, Marquis Wu, at this time, let's open the skylight and speak brightly! If Marquis Wu handed over Lu Shangshu, then Jiang Dong and I in Yangzhou will naturally talk to each other for friendship. If Lu Shangshu can't go back to Yangzhou, then Marquis Wu Perhaps our lord, His Highness the King of Shu, will send someone to Jiangdong to look for our Master Lu Su." Although Yang Hong was smiling, his tone made Sun Ce's face darken.
"Are you threatening me?" Sun Ce looked at Yang Hong and said, there were even bloodshot eyes and killing intent in Sun Ce's eyes.
If it is that kind of ordinary scribe, he can really be intimidated by Sun Ce, but who is Yang Hong? From the time he followed Yuan Shu, you, Sun Ce, were just a kid in crotch pants, and Sun Ce even gave Yang Hongxing the etiquette of a junior. So Sun Ce's killing intent had no effect on Yang Hong at all.
"Yang Hong didn't dare, but what Hong wanted to tell Marquis Wu was. Lu Shangshu, Marquis Wu's confidant governor, Zhou Yu, should know about it. He was just an idler staying in Jiangdong. Marquis Wu still had to feed him. But it’s different if you give it to us, you can exchange it for the grain and grass above the Yangtze River, aren’t these what Marquis Wu lacks the most?” Yang Hong told Sun Ce the pros and cons.
"Then I can't take the food and grass on the Yangtze River by myself?" Sun Ce said to Yang Hong. What he said was self-collection, which was directly forced by the discharge of the water army.
"Hehe, Marquis Wu, even ordinary merchants know that they have to spend some money to hire some sergeants to escort them when they go through the Yangtze River waterway. Is there no one to escort the 20,000 shi of grain and grass? If Wu Hou thinks that Lu Xun The general is an incompetent person. Then please go ahead." Well, Yang Hong brought Lu Xun out to speak, and told you Sun Ce, although there are grain transport ships on the Yangtze River, they are also escorted by the Yangzhou navy. , This escort is our General Lu Xun. Can it not have a profound impact on Lu Xun and Sun Ce? Lu Xun made Sun Ce disgraced. In the past, the Jiangdong Army could only rely on human heads to pile up. Now that the elite Jiangdong Army has been lost, Lu Xun is really no match when he comes above the water.
"Don't your lords know how much a Lu Su is worth? Fifty thousand shi, don't mention it if it's lower than that." Sun Ce said to Yang Hong.
"Twenty thousand stones!" Yang Hong still said the same thing.
"Forty thousand, no less."
"Twenty thousand stones!"
"Thirty thousand!" Sun Ce gritted his teeth. Change Lu Su back? Sun Ce can also support such an idler, because this idler will not cause trouble for himself. But it would be different if Lu Su was replaced, and Liu Mang's strength in Yangzhou would be greatly enhanced.
"It's still 20,000 shi." The smile on Yang Hong's face remained unchanged.
"Twenty thousand shi? Is an official secretary in Yangzhou worth 20,000 shi?" Sun Ce sarcastically said, a salary given by Liu Wei is five thousand shi. Rewards and the like, the four-year salary is 20,000 shi.
"Wu Hou, you have misunderstood. The 20,000 stones are not only for Wu Hou to exchange for Lu Shangshu, but also for the eight thousand soldiers of our Yangzhou New Army who have been disturbing Wu Hou for a long time, and several deputy envoys around Lu Su. .” Yang Hong spoke with a smile and kindness, but it made Sun Ce fly into a rage.
Sun Ce wanted to counter-offer. He originally wanted Yangzhou to add a little more money, but now you are kind enough to tell me that not only will there be no extra money, but I will also give you a gift.
The eight thousand Yangzhou new army, these are all elites, Sun Ce is coveted, but what makes Sun Ce tangled is that the eight thousand Yangzhou new army just won't surrender to him, Sun Ce, so Sun Ce can only stare but can't Eat it, how uncomfortable this feeling is! I wanted to wear it down slowly, but this Yangzhou came to ask for someone again.
"My 8,000 new soldiers from Yangzhou, if Lord Wu Hou is hospitable, I can let them stay! It's just that, Lord Wu Hou, if the 8,000 soldiers are injured in any way, our lord wants Wu Hou to have a good talk." Yang Hong said to Sun Ce, Marquis of Wu, these 8,000 people stayed in Jiangdong, and if Sun Ce couldn't persuade him to surrender, he couldn't use them for himself. But these are human beings, not armor or weapons, and they have to eat every day. Jiangdong is always his own I can't get enough to eat, so how can I take care of these people.
Yang Hong said, if you, Sun Ce, can persuade them to surrender, then we won’t say much. The eight thousand Yangzhou new troops will be given to you, but you can’t persuade them to surrender, you can’t kill them, or you can’t give them food. Such an unpleasant matter, then you and I should not make peace.
"Okay! I'll give you all, eight thousand new troops plus Lu Su and his group of deputy envoys, and I'll also add a general from Yangzhou, Dai Yun. I need to see the 20,000 shi of food and grass immediately. Today It will go into my Jiangdong treasury." Sun Ce is really poor, he wants 20,000 shi, and he wants 20,000 shi. Lu Su will pay it back, and the 8,000 Yangzhou new army will give it, and keep it for repayment. Waste food.
"Dai Yun?" Yang Hong was also a little surprised. Yangzhou thought that Dai Yun had died in battle, but they didn't expect that he was captured by Sun Ce's army. However, Yang Hong's appearance did not show the slightest change.
"Don't worry, Marquis Wu, the grain transport ship is already on the river. As long as Lu Shangshu and those eight thousand athletes return to the other side of the Yangtze River, these grain transport ships will naturally sail into the port of Jianye." Yang Hiro nodded.
"Okay, this matter, the Marquis will send someone to take care of it immediately. Mr. Yang Hong is getting late, so you should go back and rest early." Sun Ce began to chase away the guests.
"So, farewell!" Yang Hong nodded and left to go back to the station.
…
"Twenty thousand shi, Zijing, so you are only worth 20,000 shi in the eyes of our King of Shu!" Zhou Yu said with a smile to Lu Su who was drinking beside Zhou Yu's mansion.
"Gong Jin, is it interesting to say something like this now?" Lu Su ignored Zhou Yu's words at all, didn't he know what Zhou Yu meant? Didn't he just want to make Lu Su complain to Liu Mang, the king of Shu, and just redeemed Lu Su with 20,000 shi, so he could see Lu Su clearly again. But who Lu Su was, he could see what Zhou Yu meant at a glance.
"Hehe, I'm just fighting for you, Zijing. Zijing is talented, but in the eyes of His Royal Highness the King of Shu, it's only worth 20,000 shi!" Zhou Yu also shook his head and said with his wine glass.
"Hehe, then in the minds of Marquis Wu and Gong Jin, how much is Lu Su worth?" Lu Su asked with a smile.
"Nature is a priceless treasure." Zhou Yu said.
"Then why does Marquis Wu still want to replace someone? A priceless treasure? Marquis Wu is doing a loss-making business!" Lu Su sneered at Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu was also a little embarrassed, but he recovered quickly, "Okay, Zijing, you and I don't have to do this anymore, I framed you this time, it was my fault, but Zijing, you should know that I, Zhou Yu, have never harmed you and only I mean it." Zhou Yu said to Lu Su sincerely, even if this is the case, Zhou Yu still has a price for Lu Su, and even wants to ask Lu Su for the position of ambassador in front of Sun Ce. If Lu Su If it wasn't Zhou Yu's friend, I'm afraid he would have been beheaded long ago. Or already in prison.
"Gongjin, although I mean to harm me, you are trapped in injustice. Although you have no heart, you have actually harmed others." Lu Su smiled wryly, Yangzhou Army and Jiangdong Army Zhou Yu also told Lu Su about the Yanhe matter, and Lu Su knew about it, and what Lu Su knew even more was that Yangzhou's plan for Jiangdong was to directly attack Jianye Kuaiji and take Jiangdong. Now it's all right , Jiang Dong did not win, but was about to retreat. Lu Su blamed all of this on his own responsibility. If he hadn't been too impulsive and trusted Zhou Yu too much, such a situation would not have occurred.
My lord, my lord, Zijing is really ashamed to see you. (to be continued..)
