"Zijing, apart from Sun Jian, have the others implemented a policy of expulsion and confiscation of property against our merchants?" After Zhang Chao read all the documents, he asked angrily.

"Yes, including Liu Zhang in Jizhou and Ma Teng in Liangzhou, both punished our merchants to a certain extent. Oh, even Sun Jian has drawn heavy taxes on merchants. Lu Su hurriedly told everything he knew.

Hearing this, Zhang Chao waved his hand and said, "Sun Jian is right to do this, and helping others is also to receive benefits." They say that there is also a profit under the tax collection, which is far better than other people who smashed our store, collected our goods, and killed us. Hum! These things are written down, and they are all to be paid back after this battle. ”

Zhang Chao was really angry. It is normal to say that there are disputes between princes, or even wars. But he talked about the other party's businessman at every turn, which made him a little unhappy.

Seeing that Zhang Chao was angry, Lu Su said tentatively, "My lord, the other princes also have branches in our Jinyang City, do you want us to give them a restart?" ”

"Huh." Listening to this suggestion, Zhang Chao looked at Lu Su and said with a smile: "Everyone is respectful and kind, but now it seems that this is not the case." ”

"Hey, isn't this also forced? The clay figurines are also three points earthy. Lu Su said as he spoke.

"Well, a good clay figure also has three points of earthiness. That is the case, there is no need to blow it away, just let them pay three times the tax, in this way, they should have nothing to earn, I just want to make them uncomfortable, they can't make money in business, and they can't make money if they don't do it. ”

Zhang Chao knew very well how much silver these merchants could earn in a year in Jinyang City, where the population density was high, and now he wanted to let the other party taste the price of being punished, but he still didn't expel it, so that they would be uncomfortable and choose for themselves.

Listening to Zhang Chao's order, Lu Su hurriedly nodded and said, "I'll notify someone to do these things." Lord, it's just that now that the enemy army is pressing the border, what should we do, do we need to transfer the troops stationed in Samhan back. ”

Since the occupation of Samhan, the men and horses of the three legions led by Tai Shici and the 100,000 people who went behind, a total of 150,000 people, have been stationed there. Lu Su also knew that it was used to build a water army, but now there is no water war, but all land wars, if these people can be transferred back, maybe the current crisis can be dealt with.

"No, let's let Tai Shici and Gan Ning form a water army. What is in front of you can be handled. Well, I will transfer back 30,000 people from the Second Army Corps where General Huang Zhong is located, and then let the First Army Corps outside the city get ready, and I will go to meet this Cao Apu for a while. By the way, you also wrote an article, saying that these people are in the company of Dong thieves, which is really a move for the tiger. Another person is writing an article about Liu Bei, saying that he is really disloyal, unrighteous and unfilial to his cousin. Cao Cao, he wrote that he was holding the power of the Son of Heaven and was disloyal. Yuan Shao is not trustworthy and cronyistic. ”

The other party immediately wrote an essay, and Zhang Chao would definitely fight back. He wants to write four times in a row, and then tell the world who is selfish and who wants to swallow Han.

Lu Su's movements were very fast, and after he went to Zhangjia Academy to find all the talents, he soon wrote well and wanted to spread the praises to the Quartet.

For a time, the water battles between the princes were also formed. Of course, secretly, everyone began to deploy troops, and the war seemed to be about to break out.

Yangzhou Sun Mansion.

Compared to the busyness of the princes, it is indeed a scene of peace. In the backyard, a young girl is wearing delicate armor and is dancing a sword there, and beside her is a group of equally heroic female soldiers, all of whom are standing there slim and elegant, looking from a distance, it is still very imposing.

The woman in the middle, the long sword dance is a tiger and a tiger, and from time to time it is accompanied by her coquettish voice, which can be regarded as a unique taste, which attracts the female soldiers on the side to shout in unison.

"Miss, miss." Just as the girl was dancing the sword in the midst of the stars and the moon, a girl dressed as a maid ran outside the door, and saw her come to the sword dancing girl quickly, and gasped for something to say.

"Orchid, why are you here? But is there any news? As soon as she saw the maid running over, the woman stopped dancing her sword and said in an anxious voice.

"Miss, miss... I've inquired clearly, this time the lord will not send troops. The woman known as the orchid patted her upright chest with her hand, panting as much as she could.

As soon as the results came out, the woman called Miss couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief, "Okay, my father won't send troops, that's a good thing." ”

"Miss, I have heard another news, Lord Zhang Zhao has ordered the expulsion of all the merchants of the Zhangjia Distillery in our territory." At the same time, Orchid reported another piece of news.

"What? This Zhang Zhao, my father is not pursuing it, what else is he doing. When the young lady heard this, she frowned, looked very angry, and then said as if she had made some decision: "Go, sisters, take the guys, and follow me." ”

The girl is not someone else, it is Sun Jian's daughter Sun Shangxiang.

Because of the living environment, she has lived in a martial family since then.

Needless to say, his father Sun Jian is a dignified prince, and he can be said to have experienced a hundred battles. His eldest brother, Sun Ce, is even more martial and brave, and is known as the little overlord. As a member of the family, she has also practiced martial arts since she was a child. In her own words, she is born in troubled times, and she can't rely on others for everything.

And because Sun Jian only has this daughter, he is also very fond of it, although he usually sees him dancing with knives and guns, as long as he doesn't cause any trouble, he will open one eye and close one eye to tolerate it.

This made Sun Shangxiang more diligent in practicing martial arts, and even his second brother Sun Quan could only fight a tie with him if he was one-on-one.

She is strong, which makes her vision broader, and she does not focus on the family like other ladies, on the contrary, she cares about the affairs of the family and the country, and cares about the current chaotic pattern.

Even if you want to observe the troubled times, some people can't help but hear about them, such as the names of those powerful princes, and I don't know how many times I have to hear them every day. And one of them, Zhang Chao, aroused her curiosity.

I once heard my father say that if it weren't for this Zhang Chao, he would not have been named Yangzhou Mu by the emperor, and I don't even know if he is dead now.

In other words, Zhang Chao is his father's savior. In addition to gaining a foothold in the state and occupying Youzhou and Sili, it is difficult for Zhang Chao not to attract attention.

A while ago, it was even rumored that Zhang Chao sacrificed himself as a hostage to save his wife.

In ancient times, the status of women was far less high than it is now. It seems that it is normal for a man to marry a wife and a concubine. Even if any lady is not pleasing to the eye, the matter can be resolved with a letter of resignation. But if a woman dies her husband and wants to marry someone else, she doesn't know how many white eyes she will suffer.

In such a situation, in the environment, the status of women is less and less valued. Mo said that he was a prince, he was a rich man, and it was impossible for him to do these dangerous things for his wife.

Zhang Chao just did it, it was this move, I don't know how many women in the world have attracted the trust and curiosity, and Sun Shangxiang, who is at the beginning of love, is even more curious.

Because her father and brother are both heroes, she has made a wish since she was a child, that is, if you are not a hero, you will not marry. And because of her background, she is still the kind of non-hero who doesn't marry.

There are not many people who can meet these conditions, but Zhang Chao is indeed one of them. He is just over thirty years old, and he is in the prime of life, he does have such achievements, and more importantly, he has such a good attitude towards his wife, and he can save him in the opposite way, such a man is really rare in the world.

As a result, Sun Shangxiang began to pay close attention to Zhang Chao's affairs.

This time, several princes united together and started Zhang Chao's idea, and after hearing what happened, Sun Shangxiang became very nervous. Later, I heard that the emperor's uncle Liu Bei also sent an envoy to discuss with her father about sending troops, so she found the maid Orchid who served at her father's place, and wanted to get information as soon as possible.

Now that there is finally a result, his father did not decide to send troops, which made Sun Shangxiang breathe a sigh of relief. But when she heard that Lord Zhang Zhao was going to do something to the people of Zhangjia Distillery who was stationed in Yangzhou, she couldn't help but lose her temper again, and she decided to take care of this matter.

Sun Shangxiang gave an order, and soon, the fifty female soldiers in her courtyard were urgently gathered together, and then followed the young lady out of the courtyard.

Guangzi Street in Jianye City is actually one of the most prosperous streets in the city, where Zhangjia Distillery bought a section of the road and operated a heroic drunk business here.

Originally, business here was very prosperous, and it was often the case that the spirits that had just been brewed would be ordered and sold out, which is not an exaggeration to describe it as a market. But now, there were no people queuing up to buy wine outside the door, only groups of soldiers in brick-red uniforms surrounded the place.

"You all move out of here quickly, and tell you that you can only take your clothes with you, and you are not allowed to take anything else, otherwise military law will be involved." A general in heavy armor on a tall horse was shouting here.

The general's name is Chen Wu, a general in Sun Jian's group, and this time he came to expel the personnel of the Zhangjia Distillery on the orders of Zhang Zhao.

Zhang Zhao, as a strategist, is still a person that Sun Jian relies on very much, and this is precisely for the sake of the Sun family.

Seeing that all the princes were going to raise troops against Zhang Chao, in his opinion, the chances of victory were very small. And at this time, it is the time to draw a clear line with it, otherwise, I am afraid that once Zhang Chao is defeated, then these princes will use the crime as a reason to raise the Sun family in Yangzhou, if this is the case, it will not be good.
