Jinling City, Imperial City, Imperial Study.

"The general sent by Cao Mengde to protect Hanzhong is actually Zhang Junyi?" Sun Quan sat on the chair, looking at the information that Li Nie personally transmitted, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly: "Using Zhang He to deal with Zhao Zilong, Cao Mengde played a good hand!" ”

One of the four court pillars in Hebei, he will still be Cao Cao's fifth son in the future, and Zhang He's ability is not weak.

In terms of martial arts, he is naturally not an opponent.

But in terms of arranging troops, he and Zhao Zilong may not be able to fight, there is some trouble in this battle in Hanzhong, and whether Zhao Yun can resist it is still a question.

"Your Majesty, after Weichen learned the news, he also had some doubts in his heart, I couldn't imagine that Cao Cao would dare to use a Hebei general?" Li Niedao.

"Why wouldn't he dare?"

Sun Quan said calmly: "Cao Cao has the courage of an emperor, if he can't even defeat Zhang He, he is not worthy of becoming my opponent, so Zhang He Pang Lingming, these soldiers captured by him, will become the generals he relies on sooner or later." ”

He was not surprised by Zhang He's surrender, after all, Zhang He also surrendered in history.

"Hanzhong, is there any news coming back?" Sun Quan asked.

"General Zhao is still in Shangyong!"

Li Nie said: "After he led the troops into Hanzhong, he wanted to defeat Cao Ren and then kill him, but Cao Ren was more cunning, he and the soldiers and horses of Hanzhong joined the army, and they defended Shangyong City without coming out, clearly delaying time and waiting for Zhang He to enter Hanzhong, so General Zhao was blocked in Shangyong!" ”

"Where's Lu Bu?"

"General Lu is now personally on Xinye and has suppressed all of Zhang Xiu's troops!"?

"Then it's up to Zhao Zilong!"

Sun Quan squinted slightly: "I believe Zilong can break the game." ”

"Your Majesty, the captain asks to see you!" At this time, outside the main hall, Cao Yang's sharp voice sounded.

"Please come in!"

When Sun Quan heard this, his eyes moved slightly. He snorted.

"Weichen Juyi, meet Your Majesty!" Ju Yi's footsteps were a little anxious, obviously in a hurry: "Your Majesty, this is a book sent from Taiyuan in an urgent manner, and the Military Aircraft Department is a little undecided!" ”

"Taiyuan?"

Sun Quan took it and opened it to take a look. The pupils contracted suddenly, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.

This Pang Tong is also a little too anxious, he has just gone to Bingzhou now, and it has not been more than three months, and he has not even stood firm on his feet, so he actually wants to come out of the nest.

However, Pang Tong's reason for wanting to send troops is also very reasonable, he wants to take advantage of the gap in the Wei Dynasty to rectify the soldiers and horses, and mobilize all the troops of the blood wolf battalion that can be mobilized, which is also reasonable.

If he can fight this battle, he can fight it well. The harvest is also very large, at least it can ensure that Wu Wei will not admit that he will not be held back in the future, and Youzhou will not face the situation of being attacked on his back.

"Cao Yang, pass on my order, and then the first assistant of the cabinet Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu, the secretary of the household department, and the secretary of the ministry...... Come and see me in the Imperial Study now! ”

Sun Quan thought about it, and he couldn't make up his mind about this matter. Then he immediately gathered several important ministers of the Cabinet and the Military Aircraft Department to discuss the matter.

"No!"

Cao Yang took the order and left.

"This is the case. Let's talk about it, can this battle be fought? Half an hour later, in the imperial study, Sun Quan's eyes looked at several pillars of the court, and asked very calmly.

"Your Majesty. This is a great opportunity! ”

Taiwei Ju Yi took the lead in standing up and expressing his opinion, and said: "Pang Tong is right, if the Blood Wolf Battalion can take this opportunity to send troops with all its strength to defeat the Xiongnu and Xianbei. In the future, the two dynasties will fight a decisive battle, and they will definitely be able to draw more troops south to the Wei realm! ”

"Huang Zhong is cautious, Pang Tong is wise, since they have put it forward, Weichen thinks that there must be a certain certainty, so Weichen agrees to fight!"

Pan Feng thought about it for a while before he whispered.

"Shousuke, what do you mean?" Sun Quan looked at Zhang Zhao, the first assistant of the cabinet, and asked.

"Your Majesty, the opportunity is a good opportunity, but we can't support it!" Zhang Zhao shook his head.

"Can't support it?" Sun Quan frowned.

"Your Majesty, the treasury can't hold it!"

Zhou Yu took a step forward, his handsome face smiled slightly wryly, and said: "In the war for many years, our Dawu is not as rich as imagined, and all the budgets this year have been out, all for the Battle of Sichuan, for this battle, the household department has begun to tighten its belt, we really can't afford to support the price of the entire blood wolf battalion pouring out!" ”

"Gong Jin, has the treasury really reached this point?" Sun Quan squinted slightly, looked at Zhou Yu with some confusion, and said, "I remember that I was very prepared a year ago?" ”

"Your Majesty, are you a little forgetful?" Zhou Yu pouted: "It's almost April, can it be the same as a year ago, the Battle of Hanzhong is not money!" ”

"That's right!"

Sun Quan patted his forehead: "Hanzhong, Zhao Yun is fighting Hanzhong, this is also a lot of money, I forgot about you!" ”

In war, sometimes fighting is national strength.

As soon as the sword soldiers come out, it is money, although there is no cannon in the era of hot weapons, a gold tael is 10,000 taels, but when a war starts, food costs money, weapons cost money, armor costs money, military salaries for the war must be raised, and the pension after the war is also money.

Now the great Wu is at its peak, but it has never stopped swordsmen for many years, and now it has opened up several battlefields, and the court has been in a relatively poor environment.

"I don't want to miss this opportunity!"

Sun Quan was silent for a moment, looked at a few people in the cabinet, and a few people from the Military Aircraft Department, clenched his fists slightly, and then made a difficult decision, saying, "Pan Feng!" ”

"Wechen is here!"

"In the name of the Military Aircraft Department, you replied to Huang Zhong and Pang Tong, the Military Aircraft Department has no objection to this matter, does not approve, let them make their own choices!"

Sun Quan said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, what if they insist on fighting?" Pan Feng asked.

"Then fight!"

Sun Quan was full of arrogance, and said categorically: "Even if I smash the pot and sell iron, I will support them in this battle, the vast Wu, no matter how tight I am, I will not even be able to support more than 100,000 soldiers and horses!" ”

"No!"

Pan Feng nodded, and then quickly walked out of the imperial study, returned to the Military Aircraft Pavilion, and gave Pang Tong an official document back, and then ordered someone to expedite eight hundred miles, within one day. To be sent to the state.

The council in the imperial study continued, Zhou Yu looked at Sun Quan, his bitter face was very unhappy, and said: "Your Majesty, if this battle starts, where will we withdraw this money!" ”

"You didn't. I don't have either, the taxes haven't been collected yet, the national debt is not there, where else can we come from, we can only borrow! ”

Sun Quan didn't have a handsome face just now, and he forced a hero to death for a penny, he said with a wry smile: "It's not easy to brush your face these days, these chambers of commerce merchants have made me raise up and want to borrow money." You have to be so angry! ”

In Dawu, the status of merchants is getting higher and higher, there are more and more merchants, and even local chambers of commerce have been established in various places, and the power of business is already very strong.

It's not the first time I've borrowed money, but it's one thing to buy it or not.

"You borrow?"

Zhou Yu's eyes lit up and asked tentatively.

"Why don't you come?"

Sun Quan pouted, this Da Wu. Except for him, Sun Zhongmou, who else can borrow such a large sum.

——————————————————————————————

Seven years of the Warring States period. At the beginning of April, Pang Tong's request for battle was officially approved, and the entire blood wolf camp began to move frequently, which alarmed Cao Cao in Luoyang City.

"What is Huang Zhong doing here?" When Cao Cao received the news from Yu Ban, he was taken aback, and his brows condensed into a Sichuan character. His face was a little ugly: "Could it be that Sun Zhongmou really wants to go to war?" ”

He immediately summoned Guo Jia, a talent for playing, and Zhang Liao, who was training in a large camp on the outskirts of Beijing.

"Huang Zhong's movement of soldiers and horses is very abnormal, and I can't figure it out!"

Cao Cao calmed down, sat in his position steadily, showed the news to a few people, and then asked, "Tell me." What does Huang Zhong want? ”

"Your Majesty, Huang Zhong shouldn't be so reckless, if you start a war at this time, you can't eat us, it's obviously thankless!"

Xi Zhicai said in a deep voice: "There must be something in here that we don't know!" ”

"Spread the word!" Cao Cao thought about it and shouted.

"Spread the word!"

The sharp voice of the small yellow door outside the hall shouted, and in less than half an hour, Jia Xu hurriedly entered the palace to face the saint.

"Wenhe, you should be clear about the affairs of Youzhou, but what valuable news do you have to tell me?"

"Your Majesty, the ghost pawns haven't found any valuable news yet, but we have found out that Huang Zhong's transfer of troops is not in the right direction, and their forces are not advancing, but retreating!"

Jia Xu bowed slightly, and after saluting Cao Cao, he reported: "The troops of the Wu army in Zhuojun and Daijun have all entered Bingzhou, and the soldiers and horses stationed in Shangdang have also retreated and retreated to Jinyang!" ”

"Back off? No, they're supposed to be in the assembly! ”

When Xi Zhicai heard this, he had a flash of inspiration: "Your Majesty, Weichen has a guess in his heart!" ”

"Say!"

"Maybe Huang Zhong didn't come for us this time, he wanted to concentrate all the forces of the Blood Wolf Battalion and sweep the rear!" Xi Zhicai said: "Now is the weakest time for our Wei army, and they can't afford to look north, they want to seize the opportunity and send troops to eliminate the threat on the grassland in one fell swoop!" ”

"If you want to pacify the grassland, you have a lot of appetite!" Cao Cao sneered: "They are not afraid of choking to death!" ”

The grassland nomads, when the Han sat firmly in the whole world, they had no choice, and it was impossible to take them down with the soldiers and horses of Merge State and Youzhou.

"Your Majesty, the Wu Dynasty Blood Wolf Army is a first-class elite soldier and horse today, as well as the fierce general Huang Zhong, and the wise and transcendent Pang Tong, it may not be impossible to do it!"

Guo Jia said in a low voice: "At least, they can beat the Huns and Xianbei people and make them retreat on the grassland, and then concentrate on dealing with us!" ”

"No way!"

When Cao Cao heard this, he immediately calmed down and thought about it, and directly took the case: "We must not let them go so smoothly, this is very detrimental to the future of our Great Wei!" ”

"Your Majesty, we don't have any troops to mobilize now, even if we know, we can't stop them!" Zhang Liao sighed.

"We don't have soldiers, but we have people to use!"

The corners of Guo Jia's mouth raised slightly, and he suddenly arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen is willing to send an envoy to Liangguo as an envoy of Great Wei!" ”

"You want to use Ma Chao to disrupt the situation!" Cao Cao's eyes lit up.

"Ma Chao cares about Beidi County, once the Wu army breaks the Xiongnu and Xianbei, his pressure is higher than ours, so he won't watch the Wu army Xiongnu and Xianbei openly!" Guo Jiadao: "The minister has the confidence to persuade him to send troops!" ”

"Will it be dangerous?" Cao Cao said worriedly: "Ma Chao and we have a deep hatred!" ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, although Ma Chao is a brave general, he is not a brainless person, he has a blood feud with the Guanzhong family, and we are hostile at most, and if he wants to sit firmly in Xiliang, even if he doesn't believe me, he won't kill me!"

Guo Jia said confidently.

"Good!"

Cao Cao thought for a while, nodded, and said, "I will appoint you as the envoy of the Great Wei to send an envoy to Liangguo, as for what effect can be negotiated, it depends on your own ability!" (To be continued......)
