"What does Ming Gong think?" Seeing that Sun Quan didn't reply for a long time, Yu Ban asked again.

"Ahem..."

Sun Quan pretended to cough a few times, sat down and said, "I have to think about this matter again." General Yu is not in a hurry, is he? ”

Yu Ban said with a smile: "Don't be in a hurry, my lord said that to promote Gan Ning to go to Hebei, it is not a day's work, and it needs the help of Ming Gong, and even more so the help of Zhou Yu's governor." The day Gan Ning went to Hebei was the time when Hebei and Jiangdong formally formed an alliance. At that time, our lord will transfer money and grain from Hebei, and promise to travel. ”

"Oh yes... My lord has repeatedly told him to explain the matter of Yangzhou to Ming Gong. We captured Shouchun, not to grab territory, nor to sincerely oppose Ming Gong, but to bring Hebei's wine, paper, perfume, soap, salt... These rare things are sold wholesale in Shouchun. At that time, Ming Gong can buy what he wants in Shouchun. ”

"That's a good thing." Sun Quan's face was a little happy, and he said excitedly: "I agree, I completely agree." Shouchun will be given to General Yuan. ”

Sun Quan sent people to Hebei very early to inquire about wine and paper, but with little success. First, Jizhou Yecheng is very well guarded, and it is difficult to inquire. The second is that the distance is too far, and it will take more than a month to come and go.

Now that Yuan Xi wants to wholesale wine and paper in Shouchun, he can easily find out. You might be able to figure out how to make these things. This is the foundation of strengthening Koto.

Seeing Sun Quanxi's smile, Yu Ban took advantage of the situation and said, "Ming Gong, you haven't said yet, how is Gan Ning's matter?" Zhou Yu, the metropolitan governor, will he cooperate in acting in this play? ”

"Acting? What kind of play are you playing? ”

Sun Quan listened in the clouds.

"General Yu, if you have anything to say, just say it. If I can do it, I can do it, if I can't do it, I have to do it by all means. ”

"With Ming Gong's words, I can rest assured." Yu Bandao: "The so-called cooperation is that Ming Gong and Zhou Yu are required to drive Gan Ning away, if he doesn't leave, he will be punished under various excuses." At the same time, our Lord will do all the good to Ganning, and finally surrender to my Lord. ”

"You..."

Sun Quan suddenly got up and said angrily: "You guys are too much, right? ”

This involves not only a problem of Gan Ning, but also Jiangdong Wenwu and his reputation. If Gan Ning is forcibly driven away and takes refuge in Yuan Xi, the impact will be immeasurable.

Sun Quan is also a very smart person, how could he not have imagined this.

Yu Ban hurriedly said: "In terms of human feelings, it is indeed excessive, but Ming Gong should know that 100,000 stone grain and 30 million money are a lot of wealth, does Ming Gong think that my lord will take it out for nothing?" ”

"With this wealth, Jiangdong's strength can be more than doubled. As far as I know, Jiangdong's annual tax revenue is less than 10 million yuan, right? Food is even more scarce, and even the army can't afford to feed it.... ”

"But you're going too far!" Sun Quan cared about his reputation and did not agree.

"Ming Gong doesn't have to be in a hurry to refuse, wait at the next post house, I believe that Ming Gong will finally agree to my lord's suggestion." After finishing speaking, Yu Ban retreated.

Sun Quan was stunned on the spot and thought for a long time.

It was a very difficult decision for him.

"Brother, was it Yu Ban who left just now?" At this moment, a stunning beauty came out from behind the pillar in the distance.

"Little sister, why are you here?" Sun Quan looked back.

The little sister in his mouth is Sun Shangxiang.

Nearly 18 years old, he is already both civil and military.

Sun Shangxiang replied: "I have been here for a long time, and I have heard your conversation. Yu Ban has bad intentions and wants to provoke discord between his brother and the generals, and his brother must not be fooled. ”

"You see that, too?"

"Hmm."

Sun Quan glanced around, made sure that there were no outsiders, and sighed: "Little sister doesn't know, since I succeeded to the throne, the military power has been controlled by Zhou Gongjin, and my orders, when they come to Zhou Yu, are often rejected." I'm worried that one day... The foundation of our Sun clan will fall into the hands of others, and I must be prepared to avoid such a situation. The 100,000 stone grain and 30 million money that Yuan Xi promised were exactly what I needed. It is also a necessary thing to balance Zhou Yu. I had to respond. ”

"Brother, have you considered... Once General Gan Ning is forced away, the rest of the generals will also be cold to their brothers, whether it is Zhou Yu, Gan Ning, or those old ministers who disobey the dispatch, they are all your subordinates, and you... ”

"Little sister, don't say it again, I will consider this matter carefully." Sun Quan flicked his sleeves and left the garden.

Sun Shangxiang was not at ease, so he went to Wu Guotai (Sun Jian's wife and Sun Quan's mother) to listen to Wu Guotai's opinion. Because in Jiangdong, many major events have to be decided by Wu Guotai, and even Zhou Yu respects Wu Guotai.

Yangzhou.

Shou Chun.

After these days of negotiations, Zhou Yu and Zhang Jaw quit their troops and did not go to war again.

Yuan Xi returned from Guangling Port.

Lead the army straight to Shouchun City.

Knock knock...

After the formation, the drums of war are beaten.

Zhou Yu received the report and took a large number of generals to the city tower to watch.

"Lord, I heard that Zhuge Jin went to Guangling Port to negotiate peace with the lord, I don't know... Did it fail? Before the battle, Zhang Jaw asked.

"Nope. Zhuge Jin and I have successfully negotiated peace, and Yu Ban went to Jiangdong and is negotiating with Sun Quan. If nothing else, Shouchun City will soon be ours. ”

"In that case, the lord still brought troops to attack the city?"

Yuan Xi chuckled and said, "I didn't say I was going to attack the city." I'm here just to talk to Zhou Yu and make peace talks happen as soon as possible. ”

"I see."

"You order, the whole army is on standby in a defensive formation, five hundred meters ahead, set up tables and chairs, hold an umbrella, and I want to invite Zhou Yu to tea."

"Yes."

Someone went to arrange it.

..........

Zhou Yu was invited by Yuan Xi and agreed to go out of the city.

At a position of 500 meters away from the city gate and 500 meters away from the Yuan army's military array, a table (table and chair) is set up to sit.

"Hehe... This guy almost dumped me... Yuan Xi took Wen Chou, walked over slowly, and saluted Zhou Yu: "Gong Jin, I have admired the name for a long time." ”

"I have long admired the general's name." Zhou Yu waved his hand and said, "General, please take a seat." ”

"Please."

Yuan Xi sat down.

Behind him stood Wen Chou.

Zhou Yu also brought the escort Cheng Pu, and after Zhou Yu sat down, he also stood behind Zhou Yu.

"I don't know what happened when the general came down? If it's just tea, I'm not interested. Zhou Yu picked up the wine bottle and sniffed his nose, but did not drink it.

"It's so refreshing to be respectful..." Yuan Xi laughed casually a few times, still organizing the language in his heart.

But it was not said for a long time.

Zhou Yu said suspiciously: "Does the general have something unspeakable?" ”

"Not really. There are some things that I just want to say to you, can you... Yuan Xi glanced at Cheng Pu. Then he motioned for Wen Chou to step back.
