Chapter Seventy-Five: To Runan
Travel to Runan
Seeing that the Jiangdong Shi clan stood up one after another and supported the purchase of Jingzhou with three years of Jingzhou taxes, Sun Quan looked at the arguments of everyone in the hall with an expressionless face at the moment, and he didn't want to interject at all.
Other Wenchen generals did not have his calmness, "Lord, Shu Han's move did not take us to heart at all, and the last general asked to participate in the Jingzhou War, and he must desperately protect my Dongwu City" Quan Cong retorted; Quan Cong is also one of Sun Quan's sons-in-law, he has the talent of a good general, and he also has the responsibility of being a son-in-law.
"Lord, this matter must not be agreed, if this is the case, Jingzhou needs Yangzhou's taxes for three years to support, what do we use to prepare military salaries and rations, if in between, Cao Wei will attack my Eastern Wu on a large scale, and we have no grain and grass to deal with it" Cheng Bingquan said.
"Lord, the minister thinks 、、、" Yu turned the right words and wanted to speak;
"One year! It can only be a year," Sun Quan stared at Zhuge Qiao and said in a deep voice
If the entire tax revenue of Jingzhou is not less than 500,000 grain and grass in a year, but now it has been captured nearly three counties, but it will not be less than 300,000, which is three times more than the 100,000 given by Liu Bei before, and the silver is even more innumerable, Zhuge Qiao secretly calculated; also sighed that Sun Quan was really not a mediocre person, in the past, Cao Cao's elite who faced hundreds of thousands of elites did not choose to surrender, how could he bow his head today, and a year's Jingzhou tax just used as a pretext to buy Jingzhou, so that Shu Han would not have a legitimate excuse to send troops to Jingzhou in the future, and he could run Jingzhou with peace of mind.
"Since Wu Hou is so resolute, then I will make a temporary decision for my lord, and ask Wu Hou to use the book as evidence before I can go back to my life; As for the matter of the alliance, it is still Wu Hou who is sending an envoy with me to meet my Emperor Majesty, and then make a decision," Zhuge Qiao replied;
"As it should be; It's just your father's business, aren't you thinking about it?" asked Sun Quan; The words are also full of reluctance.
Zhuge Qiao glanced at Zhuge Jin and gritted his teeth; "Uncle, please rest assured that now that Sun Liu has established diplomatic relations, I will come to visit as my father-in-law in the future; Take me to say hello to my aunt."
"Must be brought" Zhuge Jin responded coldly, and then turned to leave, and his face seemed to finally relax when he left.
Ma Jian sighed softly, and finally fulfilled his mission;
"I don't know Captain Yao, but there are other things," Sun Quan asked Zhuge Qiao coldly.
"Since Wu Hou has agreed to a truce, then the two of us have to rush back to resume our lives, so say goodbye" Zhuge Qiao bowed to Sun Quan, but he was relieved in his heart.
"The military situation is like fire, and Captain Yao will not be left alone, please!" Sun Quan responded in a deep voice.
Zhuge Qiao and Ma Jian returned the salute, and left the hall, and they all left with a confident look, after all, this excellent completion of the task was the first time for Zhuge Qiao or Ma Tan, but at this time, Jiangdong Wenwu in the hall did not expect that today, the ordinary two stepped out of the hall, but the coming day was a nightmare in their hearts.
With the pleasure of Zhuge Qiao and the others, Jiangdong Wenwu was secretly sighing at this time, and only the officials of the scholar clan were secretly rejoicing at this time; Looking at the backs of the two of them gradually moving away, Lu Fan stomped his feet, "Lord, why didn't you catch Zhuge Qiao just now, he didn't even admit it to him Ziyu anymore; If we catch him, we can even use it to threaten Liu Bei."
"Do you think you don't want to be lonely! It's just that Liu Bei actually named him the captain of Bi Yao as an envoy, and he is also telling us that Zhuge Qiao is the champion of the Han family, if you dare to touch him, I will raise a national army to avenge him; And the two armies are not fighting, after all, he is still Ziyu's parent," Sun Quan replied helplessly.
Lu Fan didn't say anything, after all, capturing Zhuge Qiao was indeed dishonest in the world.
Putting away their happy mood, Zhuge Qiao and the others prepared to return to the pavilion immediately, and they did not stop for a moment;
"Brother Young Chang, after you go out of the city, you should go back to Yaoting and Your Majesty to retreat first, I have to go to a place, and I will meet in Chengdu" Zhuge Qiao hugged his fist at Ma Tan, and he seemed to have made arrangements for a long time.
"Bo Song, today's Tianwen debate can really be called my Shu Han celebrity, Ma Jian worships; It's just that if Bo Song doesn't return to the pavilion, how can I explain to Your Majesty, I'm afraid Your Majesty will also think of other things" Ma Jian frowned and replied, but the words completely lost the arrogant aura that he had when he set off before.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty won't think about it much, you just have to go back to your life with peace of mind" Zhuge Qiao guessed and knew what Ma Tan was talking about;
It's just that Ma Tan couldn't guess Zhuge Qiao's thoughts, on the battlefield in Jingzhou and in front of Jiangdong Wenwu, although Ma Tan didn't want to believe his ears and eyes, but his mouth told the truth;
"Where is Bo Song going, I can explain to Your Majesty when I go back," Ma Jian asked with a helpless expression, and his mind was constantly spinning what place could be so attractive;
"Wei Di" Zhuge Qiao replied slowly, and stared at Ma Jian to see his surprised expression.
"Wei Di? I don't know what Bo Song is talking about" Ma Tan asked in surprise, and seemed to think that Zhuge Qiao's purpose as an envoy was probably not his purpose, and now he had to prepare to do what he should do.
"I'm going out of the city soon, and I'll take nine soldiers with me after I get out of the city" Zhuge Qiao didn't answer Ma Yan's question, and he didn't know how to answer, so he got out of the car and walked with Chen Qi and the others; Left behind the overwhelmed Ma Tan.
Chen Qi, Liu Yu and others still treated Zhuge Qiao as usual;
"Where are we going after that, will we go to the mountains to find game, if so, let's speed up our pace and set off," Liu Yu smiled at Zhuge Qiao;
"Don't pay attention to him, he will know how to eat, or let's say that we should go to that mountain" Chen Qi glanced at Liu Yu with disdain;
"Runan" Zhuge Qiao responded;
"Tun Chang, there are no big mountains in Runan, there is flat land over there; Could it be that we are really going to camp this time," Chen Qi asked disappointedly.
Zhuge Qiao was also helpless, thinking about their appearance of fighting in Wuling City Tower, and then look at their state at this time; It's like saying that your own woman is a docile sheep beside you, obedient to you, but a cold giraffe in front of outsiders, refusing to bow her head at all.
"Whoever said that they should be stationed in the mountains to catch game, they know how to eat! This time we are going to find someone in Runan, and we must find it, and if we can't find anyone, we are not allowed to go back to Chengdu," Zhuge Qiao replied with a little seriousness.
"Tun Chang is Liu Siyou who wants to catch game, and it has nothing to do with me; Runan County is so big, when do the nine of us have to find out, can the tun chief have any clues to remind" Chen Qi asked innocently;
