Lü Peng and Sun Quan formed an alliance, and the two sides formulated a general negotiation outline: at Sun Quan's request, Lü Peng and Sun Quan formed an alliance between the north and the south.

At Sun Quan's request, Lü Peng will continue to provide Sun Quan with steel from the north to barter, and the payment will be offset by rice from the south.

This is a win-win situation, the south is short of iron, and the recipients are short of food. In the years under Lu Peng's rule, although agriculture has made great progress, it is unrealistic to imagine that the output can have a qualitative leap, so the food gap is still large, and at the same time, the Wuhuan grassland behind Lu Peng does not produce food at all, and all of it needs to be supplied to it from the land of Youzhou, which solves the fundamental problem this time.

At Sun Quan's request, Lü Peng sold his weapons in the Savage Valley to Jiangdong on a limited basis. For this reason, in the past few years, the two have not directly confronted each other, Lu Peng's arms sales will bring unimaginable wealth to the Youzhou government and Lu Peng himself, after all, all the industries in the Savage Valley have Lu Peng's shares.

Of course, this requires linen and silk from the south to offset the payment. At this point, Lu Peng expressed a warm welcome, not to mention that he could meet the needs of Youzhou, and resold it to the grassland, which was also a huge profit.

At Sun Quan's request, Lü Peng lent Sun Quan a loan of no less than 2 billion yuan within 10 years, on the same terms as Cao Cao in that year. Lu Peng expressed absolute satisfaction with this.

With this large loan, his own mint can work overtime to produce violently, completely expel other currencies in Jiangnan, and make his steel coins an international currency, just like the dollar in later generations, Sun Quan, don't be complacent for too long, you just wait to be sheared.

After talking about the general things here, Lu Peng formally put forward the fundamental purpose of this alliance: "Brother Wei went to visit the Xuande Mansion this time, unfortunately, on the way, I met one of my businessmen who was robbed by Jinfan thieves, I absolutely cannot tolerate this matter, I must avenge my businessman and seek justice." ”

As for Lu Peng's practice of fighting for a businessman, all the Jiangdong civil and military forces present did not agree very much, and in their opinion, this was definitely a big fuss.

In this era, Shinong industry and commerce, businessmen ranked last, this is considered a cheap industry, although all major families have children doing this business, but from the bottom of their hearts, they still show contempt for this industry, and Lu Peng is a bit contemptuous of seeking justice for a businessman with such fanfare.

Lu Peng also saw what everyone meant, so he patiently explained: "There is no business in the world, for example, the agreement we reached this time, the southern transportation of iron materials, the return of rice to the north, if we let the government handle it, the greedy ink and deduction will make us lose at least thirty percent, temporarily hand over these things to the businessmen to operate, not only will not delay time, but will be faster, and all the losses in the middle will no longer be borne by us, so that not only reduce the burden between our governments, but also speed up the circulation." , so that the people become rich. Another point, I am a businessman, so I naturally have a heart for businessmen, my goal is to use my war knife to open up the market for my business, so that the merchants of Youzhou can walk in the land of this Han Dynasty in a dignified manner, so this time, I must stand up for my businessmen and let my businessmen know that wherever they go, there is a strong Lu Group behind him. ”

This explanation makes sense, so Sun Quan volunteered: "The Jinfan thief harassing the Yangtze River is my brother's enemy and my hidden danger. ”

Lu Peng stopped Sun Quan's kindness at that time: "You must not interfere in this matter, this is my matter in Youzhou, and at the same time, I also want to officially achieve the purpose I said above through this matter." ”

In fact, the fundamental reason is that Gan Ning Gan Xingba, the talent of the water army, your future right-hand man. If you intervene this time, Gan Ning will definitely become your bag, so what's the deal? So, I have to kill him and cut off your right hand before you even make contact with him.

After all, waging a war on his own territory, Sun Quan needs to be prepared in case he occupies any important place by beating the grass and rabbits, then the matter is not good, so Sun Quan enthusiastically proposed: "Since the eldest brother wants to do it himself, I won't say anything, but the Yangtze River waterway is densely packed with reefs, and the river is even more vertical and horizontal, and the eldest brother doesn't know about it, so the younger brother will send a subordinate who is familiar with the situation of the waterway to help the eldest brother." ”

The tone is sincere, but it is also unquestionable.

After all, in someone's land, it is reasonable to send a monitor, so Lu Peng happily agreed: "It's really unbelievable, and it's really going to trouble my brother." ”

Sun Quan looked at the bulky merchant ships behind Lu Peng again, and proposed again: "The Jinfan thief is cunning and impermanent, and if you fight against him, you need to be fast, and the eldest brother will inevitably drag down the speed with these merchant ships——"

"I was about to ask my brother, I will entrust these merchant ships to you first, and I hope that my brother will help take care of them." A little mortgage is still needed, after all, in someone's yard, if you break someone's altar and jar in the future, you have to accompany the drop.

Sun Quan waved his hand generously: "It's all my brother's business, where do you want to say anything to help, this is as it should be." ”

The matter ended perfectly in this kind of generosity that everyone knew well, and the two sides had a good time, and finally broke up happily. Lu Peng took Sun Quan's hand and reluctantly sent him all the way to his naval warship, and the two good brothers shed tears.

Standing on the farewell boat, Lu Peng waved his hand to the Jiangdong Navy who was getting farther and farther away, and was secretly happy: "This time it's not in vain, not only did I make a good ally to deal with Cao Cao from the north and south, but I was able to open the Jiangnan market, I can be regarded as earning." ”

Sun Quan stood at the stern of the boat, beckoned goodbye to Lu Peng, who was getting smaller and smaller, and said to Zhou Yu beside him: "This trip is worthwhile, not only has we obtained a stable supply channel of strategic materials, but also received hundreds of millions of dollars in aid, and more importantly, we have achieved the result that Cao Cao's side cannot attack us with all its strength, from now on, we can develop with peace of mind, concentrate on attacking and annihilating other forces in Jiangnan, and stabilize our Jiangdong, this time, we have earned." ”

A successful agreement should be like this, so that both parties can stand on their own perspective, how to see how they have earned it, so that everyone can happily abide by it and can be implemented for a long time.
