Chapter 668: Words and Harmony (3)
"You want to make peace?" Sun Ce was also stunned for a moment, he simply didn't believe his eyes, because Sun Ce's plan was that Liu Mang, the king of Shu, sent a large army to attack Jiangdong in anger, and he Sun Ce was ready to exchange space for time, and all the parts of Yangzhou in Jiangdong were abandoned, so as to enter the direction of Jiaozhou, relying on the hearts of the people in Jiangdong and the money and grain sent by Jingzhou over there, and then re-establish the army, and then enter Jiangdong, but what Sun Ce didn't expect was that Yangzhou would not fight, and he would make peace.
Let Sun Ce can't believe it, but this Yang Hong below is not fake, he is indeed the foreign minister of Yangzhou, that is, the envoy of Yangzhou, if it is not peace, but directly declare war, just send an insignificant person to come, why bother this Yang Hong to go out in person.
"Is Mr. Yang Hong really here for peace?" Sun Ce still asked uncertainly.
"Hehe, Wu Hou, standing here with the real thing, Wu Hou, what do you say?" Yang Hong treats everyone with a smiling expression.
"Liu Mangxiao, no, didn't His Royal Highness the King of Shu ask Mr. Yang Hong to come and deliver the war book?" Sun Ce is ready to start a war with Yangzhou, Sun Ce took advantage of the anger of the people of Jiangdong against the Yangzhou army, and recruited a lot of soldiers and horses, and now there are 30,000 soldiers and horses, and the money for forming these military horses is still given to Jiangdong by our Liu Mang, the 15,000 grain and grass of the new army in Yangzhou. These 30,000 soldiers and horses, Sun Ce thought that he could survive 3,000 to 5,000, and he Sun Ce earned it, and those who survived were definitely elite.
"Whether it's a war book or not, Lord Wu Hou will know at a glance!" Yang Hong handed over the letter in his hand.
"Oh!" Sun Ce took a letter from Yang Hong's hand and took it into his hand, looking at the cover of the letter, which was written by Brother Sun Ce himself. Liu Mang married Sun Ce's sister Sun Shangxiang, so it is also appropriate to call him a big brother.
Sun Ce watched all the way. All written above are the kind words of Liu Mang, the king of Shu, to Sun Ce. What everyone gathers, what everyone should write to each other, in the end, it is a word of peace, saying that this qiē is a misunderstanding, it was originally to mediate the contradiction between the eldest brother and the second brother or something, and there is also Liu Mang's Shu King Seal on it.
Sun Ce's eyes were shining, but not because of Liu Mang's words and words, but because there was another sentence on top of this letter. That is, 20,000 stones of grain and grass were sent as a gift for the wedding of Lord Wu Hou who did not invite us.
"His Royal Highness the King of Shu, no, my brother-in-law really sent 20,000 stones of grain and grass?" Sun Ce's eyes are shining, 20,000 stones of grain and grass In the past, Sun Ce would take a look at it at most, but he wouldn't care very much, but now it's different, Jiangdong is so poor that he is about to be pants, 20,000 stones, even if it's 2,000 stones. Sun Ce will ask for it, let alone 20,000 stones. This can form another ragtag army of 20,000 men. Even the elite can form a force of 5,000 people.
So for the sake of 20,000 stone of grain and grass, Sun Ce actually called Liu Mang his brother-in-law.
"This is nature, 20,000 stones of grain and grass have been loaded onto the ship, and now it should be outside the Yangtze River, and it should be in Jiangdong when the time is counted." Yang Hong smiled and counted the hours.
"Oh?" Sun Ce was still in doubt, and soon a general ran in and clasped his fists at the lord Sun Ce, saying, "Back to the lord, there is an extra fleet on the Yangtze River." ”
"What fleet, how many people?" Sun Ce was still vigilant, he was afraid that Yang Hong would come to Yan here and Liu Mang over there would secretly attack Chen Cang, which would be terrible.
"There are more than a dozen warships, and the rest are all merchant ships, and each one seems to have something on it, all of them are fully loaded." The herald sergeant said to Sun Ce, "Huang Gai asked me to ask the lord, how to deal with this fleet?" ”
"Mr. Yang Hong, is there really grain and grass in there?" Sun Ce asked again.
"Wu Hou this is nature, if it's not grain and grass, why should we use merchant ships!" Yang Hong said with a smile, he knew that Sun Ce was worried that this merchant ship was loaded with soldiers instead of grain and grass, Yang Hong directly dispelled Sun Ce's scruples, if it was loaded with soldiers and horses, it would be good to use the warship directly, why use merchant ships, isn't it a superfluous move! How many soldiers and horses can be loaded on a merchant ship.
"Hurry up, let Huang Gai prepare to let those merchant ships enter the construction of Yeshui Village!" Sun Ce said to his subordinates, whether these ships are put on grain and grass or soldiers, I believe that when they enter the port, they will naturally be investigated by Huang Gai, if it is an enemy, then it will be directly closed and beaten by dogs, if it is grain and grass, then it will be good to laugh.
"Slow!" Yang Hong stopped Sun Ce, "Wu Hou does not have an order from a person, it is impossible for these grain ships to sail into the port of Jianye." Yang Hong said with a smile.
"Mr. Yang Hong, what do you mean by this? Who is this person? Sun Ce was a little anxious, 20,000 stones of grain and grass, he urgently needed it now.
"This person is my official in Yangzhou, Shangshu Lusu." Yang Hong said to Sun Ce.
"Lu Su?" Sun Ce had hesitation in his eyes, Lu Su's talent Sun Ce naturally saw it in his eyes, Lu Su could be calculated by Zhou Yu, that was because Lu Su believed in Zhou Yu too much, thinking that Zhou Yu was his best friend, even in the back, Lu Su still understood, but by that time it was too late, but he was put under house arrest by Zhou Yu.
"Hehe, isn't this Lu Shangshu from Yangzhou already going back!" Sun Ce said haha, he didn't want to teach Lu Su to Yangzhou, because although he called Liu Mang's brother-in-law on the surface, in fact, the two were enemies.
"Hehe, Wu Hou, at this time, let's open the skylight and say something bright! If Wu Hou hands over Lu Shangshu, then Jiangdong and I Yangzhou will naturally be friendly with each other, if Lu Shangshu can't go back to Yangzhou, then Wu Hou can't say that our lord His Royal Highness the King of Shu will send someone to Jiangdong to find our Lord Lu Su. Although Yang Hong was smiling, the tone of his voice made Sun Ce's face gloomy.
"Are you threatening Ben Hou?" Sun Ce looked at Yang Hong and said, Sun Ce's eyes even had bloodshot and killing intent.
If it was that kind of ordinary scribe, he could really be frightened by Sun Ce, but who was Yang Hong? From the time he followed Yuan Shu, you Sun Ce was just a little kid in open crotch pants, and even Sun Ce gave Yang Hong the etiquette of a junior. Therefore, Sun Ce's killing intent was not effective against Yang Hong at all.
Yang Hong didn't dare, but Hong wanted to sue Wu Hou. Lu Shangshu, Wu Hou's governor of the Jiaotong University, Zhou Yu, should know. Staying in Jiangdong is just an idler. Wu Hou still has to provide him with food, but it is different if we give it to us, we can exchange it for the grain and grass on the Yangtze River, aren't these what Wu Hou lacks the most? Yang Hong told Sun Ce about the pros and cons.
"Can't I take the grain and grass on the Yangtze River?" Sun Ce said to Yang Hong, what he said was that he was directly strong by discharging the water army.
"Hehe, Wu Hou, even ordinary businessmen know that they have to spend some money to hire some sergeants to escort them when they go to this Yangtze River waterway, so is there no one to escort the 20,000 stone of grain and grass? If Wu Hou thinks that General Lu Xun is an incompetent. Then please. "Okay, Yang Hong took out Lu Xun and spoke, and told you Sun Ce, although there is a grain ship on the Yangtze River, it is also escorted by the Yangzhou Navy, and the person who escorted it is our General Lu Xun. Can it not have a profound impact on Lu Xun and Sun Ce? Lu Xun made him disgraced. In the past, the Jiangdong Army could only rely on the head to pile up, but now that the elite of the Jiangdong Army has been lost, Lu Xun is really not an opponent on the water again.
"Don't you lords know how much a Lusu is worth? Fifty thousand stones, don't mention anything less than that. Sun Ce said to Yang Hong.
"Twenty thousand stones!" Yang Hong still said this.
"Forty thousand, no less."
"Twenty thousand stones!"
"Thirty thousand!" Sun Ce gritted his teeth and said. Swap Lu Su back? Sun Ce can also raise such an idler, because this idler will not cause trouble to himself. And if Lu Su is replaced, it will be different, and Yangzhou Liu Mang's strength will be greatly enhanced.
"It's still 20,000 stones." The smile on Yang Hong's face remained unchanged.
"Twenty thousand stones? Is a Yangzhou official book worth 20,000 stones? Sun Ce sneered, a secretary of the ministry, Liu Mang's salary is 5,000 stones, it can be said that if Lu Su does not give a reward or something, the salary for four years will be 20,000 stones.
"Wu Hou, you misunderstood, these 20,000 stones are not only for Wu Hou to exchange for Lu Shangshu, but also for the eight thousand soldiers of my Yangzhou New Army who have been bothering Wu Hou for a long time, as well as a few deputy envoys around Lu Su." Yang Hong spoke with a smile and a warm heart, but it made Sun Ce burst into flames.
Sun Ce wanted to make a counteroffer, he originally wanted you to add a little more money in Yangzhou, but you are good now, not only will I not add money, but I will also give you a gift.
Eight thousand Yangzhou New Army, these are all elite, Sun Ce is salivating, but what makes Sun Ce entangled is that these eight thousand Yangzhou New Army just don't surrender to him Sun Ce, so that Sun Ce can only look at it but can't eat it, how uncomfortable do you say this feeling! I wanted to spend it slowly, but this Yangzhou came to ask for someone again.
"These eight thousand of my Yangzhou new army, if Lord Wu Hou is hospitable, you can also let them stay! It's just that Lord Wu Hou, if there is any damage to these 8,000 soldiers, our lord wants Wu Hou to talk about it. Yang Hong said to Wu Hou Sun Ce, these 8,000 people stay in Jiangdong, and Sun Ce can't use them for his own use if he can't persuade them to surrender, but this is a person, not something like armor and weapons, he has to eat every day, Jiangdong can't eat enough for himself, how can he take care of these individuals.
Yang Hong said, if you Sun Ce can persuade you to surrender, then we won't say much, these 8,000 Yangzhou new troops are all good for you, but you can't persuade them to surrender, you can't kill them, or don't give them food, if such an unpleasant thing happens, then you and I will not make peace.
"Good! I'll give it to you, 8,000 new troops plus Lu Su and his group of deputy envoys, by the way, I also add a general Dai Yun from Yangzhou, 20,000 stone of grain and grass I need to see immediately, and it will be put into my Jiangdong treasury today. "Sun Ce is really poor, 20,000 stones, he also wants 20,000 stones, Lu Su will return it, and the 8,000 Yangzhou new army will give it, and it will be a waste of food to keep it.
"Dai Yun?" Yang Hong was also a little surprised in his heart, Yangzhou thought that this Dai Yun had died in battle, but he didn't expect to be captured by Sun Cejun, but there was no change on Yang Hong's surface.
"This Wu Hou, please rest assured, this grain ship is already above the river, as long as Lu Shangshu and those eight thousand athletes return to the other side of the Yangtze River, naturally these grain ships will sail into Jianye's port." Yang Hong nodded.
"Okay, this matter, Ben Hou will immediately send someone to handle it, Mr. Yang Hong is not early, Mr. should go back and rest early." Sun Ce began to chase away customers.
"So, farewell!" Yang Hong nodded and left, going back to the station.
……
"Twenty thousand stones, Zijing, it turns out that you are only worth 20,000 stones in the minds of His Royal Highness the King of Shu!" Zhou Yu's mansion Zhou Yu said with a smile to Lu Su who was drinking on the side.
"Gong Jin, is it interesting to say such things now?" Lu Su didn't pay attention to Zhou Yu's words at all, he didn't know what Zhou Yu meant? Didn't he just want him Lu Su to complain about Liu Mang, the king of Shu, just redeemed him Lu Su with 20,000 stones, do you want to see him Lu Su again. But who Lu Su was, he could naturally see what Zhou Yu meant at a glance.
"Hehe, I'm just upset for Zijing, Zijing has the talent of the world, but in the eyes of His Royal Highness the King of Shu, it is only worth 20,000 stones, grain and grass!" Zhou Yu also picked up the wine glass and shook his head and said.
"Hehe, then in the minds of Wu Hou and Gong Jin, how much is my Lu Su worth?" Lu Su asked with a smile.
"Nature is priceless." Zhou Yu said.
"So why does Wu Hou still want to exchange so-and-so? Priceless? Wu Hou is doing a loss-making business! Lu Su sneered at Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu was also a little embarrassed, but quickly recovered, "Okay, Zijing, you and I don't have to be like this, this time I frame you, it's me who is wrong, but Zijing, you have to know, I, Zhou Yu, are never harmless to you." Zhou Yu said to Lu Su sincerely, even so, Zhou Yu still has a gift money for Lu Su, and even asks Lu Su for a position as a long envoy in front of Sun Ce, if Lu Su is not Zhou Yu's friend, I am afraid he would have been killed a long time ago. Or maybe they're already in prison.
"Gongjin, although you mean to harm me, you are trapped in unkindness and injustice, although you have no intention, but in fact you have harmed others." Lu Su smiled bitterly, the Yangzhou army and the Jiangdong army said peace, Zhou Yu also told Lu Su, Lu Su also knew, Lu Su knew even more that Yangzhou made a plan for Jiangdong, that was to directly attack Jianye Huiji, so as to take Jiangdong, now it's okay, Jiangdong did not take it, but was going to retreat, this qiē Lu Su is all blamed on his own responsibility, if he wasn't too arrogant and believed in Zhou Yu too much, he wouldn't have caused such a situation.
Lord, lord, Zijing really has no face to see you. (To be continued......)
