Chapter 267:-for-tat
"Sun Gongzi, how is this Nanyang's song and dance?" After a few songs, Zhou Jian waved away the singers, turned his head and asked Sun Yang with a smile.
"Yes, it's almost far from the singers in Luoyang." Sun Yang replied lightly, Sun Yang has never been much interested in entertaining these singers, after all, this kind of boring way of performing, Sun Yang can be considered good if he doesn't fall asleep.
Seeing that Sun Yang was not very interested, Zhou Jian did not continue the topic, but raised the wine glass in his hand, "Sun Gongzi, come, this official toasts you, this is the best wine in your Jiangdong "Huiwei Xuan", and it took a lot of effort for this official to come from Luoyang. β
The best wine in the "Aftertaste"? Sun Yang can only smile at this, "Huiweixuan" is Sun Yang's own industry, the best wine popular in Luoyang City is just a work of Xiao Gu in Sun Yang's opinion, the real best wine, I'm afraid this little Zhou Jian is not blessed!
"Oh? That son will accept the adult's will, come, and pay tribute to the adult! Sun Yang didn't show any special look on his face, but just replied to Zhou Jian indifferently.
Looking at Sun Yang's calm appearance, Zhou Jian also admired it very much, it is rare for a teenager at this age to have such courage, if Sun Yang is from their side, then their chances of achieving great things will probably be a little more. However, Zhou Jian also understood that this talented person would not be willing to live under others, and the Sun family in Jiangdong, where he was located, was by no means willing to live under his lord Yuan Shu.
Just chatting like this, Zhou Jian kept looking for an opportunity to test Sun Yang, but Sun Yang didn't give him a chance, and just bypassed it in a few words, until the banquet dispersed, Zhou Jian didn't ask any of the really valuable questions. Naturally, Zhou Jian would not let Sun Yang leave like this if he didn't achieve his goal, so he invited Sun Yang to his study for tea and then tried again.
In the face of such a "warm and difficult" Zhou Jian, Sun Yang originally planned to fight with him alone, so he was naturally happy to go with him, so he followed Zhou Jian into the study that once belonged to Sun Yang.
"Sun Gongzi, it's because the official is a little lazy, I didn't ask the son for the first time, please forgive Sun Gongzi, the official is also a new official, and there are too many things in hand." Zhou Jian showed a hint of apology on his face, as if he was quite guilty for not seeing Sun Yang in time.
Zhou Jian's hypocritical attitude, how could Sun Yang be deceived, two lives, Sun Yang's face is not necessarily thinner than Zhou Jian, "Lord Zhou, how can you say that?" It's because Yang is sluggish, Lord Zhou came from afar, and Yang, as the first person to arrive, did not entertain Lord Zhou well, it was Yang who was not thoughtful! β
What a cunning boy, Sun Yang's words are clearly in his words, what is the person who came first, and what is the poor hospitality? These words are the host's apologies to the guests, but is this Nanyang their grandson's family? Sun Yang's words made Zhou Jian have some understanding in his heart, it turned out that Sun Yang seemed to have avoided contact with him all along, but in fact, he had never given up fighting for Nanyang in his heart!
"Hehe, Sun Gongzi has said it, as the parent official of Nanyang, for the sake of the people of Nanyang, the official does not dare to slack off, how can they trouble the son to entertain?" Zhou Jian went back, whether it was their Sun family who advanced to Nanyang, it should be clear that he is now Nanyang's Taishou, Nanyang legally speaking, he Zhou Jian is the boss of Nanyang now!
Sun Yang and Zhou Jian's words of mutual apology seemed to be mutually apologic, but they also completely ignited the opposing side of the two, for the sake of Nanyang, Sun Yang would never stop his plan, and how could Zhou Jian, who had become the nominal master of Nanyang, give up his hard-won power? This difference can never be reconciled!
"Hehe, Sun Gongzi, this official has heard that Wu County is the land of fish and rice, and I am afraid that he has accumulated a lot of grain and grass in the past few years." Zhou Jian played a sideline ball, instead of arguing with Sun Yang about who is more qualified to be the leader of Nanyang, it is better to be practical, the 10,000 Jiangdong troops stationed in Nanyang are Zhou Jian's heart disease, he knows very well that the ten days of food and grass will never satisfy the Jiangdong army, he must negotiate with Sun Yang!
"Where is Lord Zhou! No matter how rich Wu County is, I'm afraid it can't compare to this huge Nanyang County, right? What's more, Wu County has few people and few people, this time Yang's father led the Jiangdong soldiers to the north to crusade against Dong Zhuo, and the inventory has been exhausted, where is there still food? I'm afraid the rats in the granary are dying of starvation! β
Sun Yang smiled, it was a faint "mockery" of Wu County, which was far away from the Central Plains, no matter how Wu County developed, there was still a big gap from Nanyang, Sun Yang was very clear about this. At the same time, Zhou Jian mentioned the matter of grain and grass, it must be because Zu Mao wanted him to ask for grain the day before yesterday, this matter was planned by Sun Yang, how could Sun Yang be trapped?
There is no food in the land of Jiangdong? Speaking of which, Zhou Jian will never believe it, no matter what he says today, he wants Sun Yang to admit that he will let Jiangdong be responsible for the grain and grass of the Jiangdong Army! He doesn't want to be the wronged leader!
"Sun Gongzi, you have been coming to Nanyang for more than a month, you should also know the situation in Nanyang, in order to support the front line, Nanyang's grain and grass have been sent to the front line, and now there is no grain and grass in the warehouse, Nanyang can no longer afford to support the 10,000 Jiangdong troops under your command! How do you say it should be? Zhou Jian threw this question to Sun Yang, he wanted to see what Sun Yang's bottom line was.
"Lord Zhou! There shouldn't be any need for Yang to explain, the 10,000 soldiers are now the defenders of Nanyang, and they are no longer the Jiangdong Army, how can Nanyang, which has a lot of land and resources, not even be able to raise 10,000 soldiers? Hehe, Lord Zhou, you are too guarded to be incompetent! "Nanyang's potential Sun Yang knows very well, even if he gives so much grain and grass out, it is more than enough to feed 50,000 troops, let alone only 10,000?
Sun Yang's sarcastic words made Zhou Jian look very ugly, what does this kid mean? Does it mean that after he came, Nanyang, which was originally wealthy, became unable to support 10,000 people?
"Sun Gongzi, you don't know the difficulty of being in charge of the family, although Nanyang is rich, but after the troubles of the Yellow Turban, it can't be compared with before, now it is necessary to feed more than 10,000 new troops, and also feed 10,000 Jiangdong Army, it is really difficult, otherwise we will discuss, the new army Nanyang is responsible, then the 10,000 Jiangdong Army is responsible for Jiangdong, how about it?"
"Hehe, Lord Zhou, you don't like to hear this sentence, it is also the army that defends Nanyang, then the new army Nanyang can be responsible, why does the Jiangdong Army have to find its own way? You're outrageous, aren't you? Sun Yang sneered and said, this week Jian is really naΓ―ve enough, not only wants to do something to the Jiangdong Army, but also wants to take the opportunity to win over the new army?
"Sun Gongzi, this official said that it is here, if the Jiangdong Army comes to ask for food again, this official will have no food!" Seeing that Sun Yang didn't enter, Zhou Jian also said cruel words.
"Lord Zhou, do you have to think clearly? The 10,000 new army has no combat effectiveness now, if you offend the Jiangdong Army, one day the Jiangdong Army will withdraw, and the remnants of the Nanyang Yellow Turban will attack Wancheng, will you still be able to sit in the Taishou Mansion so comfortably, Lord Zhou? β
Will Sun Yang still be afraid of Zhou Jian's threat? Now that he has the power of the army in his hands, if he wants to threaten, he can only threaten Zhou Jian!
