Chapter 579: Arrangement
Entering Huaiyin City, the Jiangdong Army, including Wu Jing, had excitement on their faces. No one could have expected that Sun Quan would take down Huaiyin so easily with just a few words, and the key Sun Quan didn't reveal any news in advance, so that everyone was not a little mentally prepared. Everyone walks in this Huaiyin City, and they all have a fluttering feeling, as if stepping on the clouds, as if dreaming.
Fortunately, Wu Jing is an experienced veteran, and he knows that there can be no chaos at this time, and he commands all the way, and the army is also in order, and people who don't know think that Wu Jing has long expected this moment. It wasn't until Sun Quan and his entourage settled in the city lord's mansion, which had fled empty, and entered the main hall, that there were no outsiders around them, that Wu Jing finally opened his mouth to ask, looking at the urgency, I don't know how uncomfortable Wu Jing was holding back just now,
"Zhongmou, Lu Bu shouldn't be dead, right?"
Nonsense, Wu Jingke knows very well that the three-pronged purple and gold crown and the Fang Tian painting halberd are all imitated by Sun Quan. However, after taking Huaiyin unbelievably, Wu Jing couldn't help but be a little shaken in his heart, could it be that Lu Bu was really dead? Wu Jing has been holding this question in his heart until now.
Sun Quan smiled, but he didn't expect his lies to not only bluff the enemy, but also his own people.
"How can Lu Bu die so easily." Without outsiders, Sun Quan naturally wouldn't lie anymore.
Hearing this, Wu Jing also had to smile bitterly, although he had long thought so in his heart, but even people like him, who had been staying by Sun Quan's side, would be shaken, and he had to admire Sun Quan's deception. In the past, Wu Jing always felt that Sun Quan was certainly stronger than internal affairs, but in terms of fighting, he was not as good as his eldest brother Sun Ce, but now, Wu Jing gradually gave birth to another opinion: Sun Quan is just different from Sun Ce's style, and Sun Quan's understanding of "Sun Tzu's Art of War" may not be worse than Sun Ce!
"So, Lu Bu is just not in Huaiyin?" Wu Jing asked.
Sun Quan nodded,
"That's right."
"Then how did you know that Lu Bu was not in Huaiyin?" Wu Jing couldn't help asking.
"Wellγγγγγ this" The corners of Sun Quan's mouth hooked, "I have my own channels." β
However, although he said it so secretly, Sun Quan deliberately moved his eyes to Diao Chan's side in front of Wu Jing, and the implication was extremely obvious.
Wu Jing is a smart person, of course, it turns out that the smarter he is, the easier it is to be played by Sun Quan. Therefore, Wu Jing was naturally misled by Sun Quan again, thinking that Sun Quan's intelligence came from Diao Chan and Cihang Jingzhai behind Diao Chan.
Thinking of this, Wu Jing showed a smile at the sable cicada very rarely. To tell the truth, although Wu Jing acquiesced in the existence of Diao Chan before, Wu Jing still had a lot of complaints in his heart about Sun Quan leaving Diao Chan behind, until now, seeing the information brought by Diao Chan, he actually helped them obtain Huaiyin unscathed, such a huge benefit, naturally Wu Jing completely forgot his dissatisfaction with Diao Chan. Even Wu Jing had the idea of getting Sun Quan closer to Diao Chan in order to continue to borrow Cihang Jingzhai's hidden strength.
"Cihang Jingzhai is worthy of its name."
Wu Jingchong arched his hand.
Yes, with their Sun family's intelligence network, they still firmly believe that Lu Bu stayed in Huaiyin, but Cihang Jingzhai was able to find out that Lu Bu had secretly left Huaiyin, which can only show that Cihang Jingzhai's intelligence ability is even higher than that of the Sun family!
To Wu Jing's compliment, Diao Chan just smiled indifferently in response. There is no denial, no affirmation, in Wu Jing's eyes, she just acquiesces. However, only Diao Chan herself knew that she once again helped Sun Quan block the move.
After Wu Jing shifted his gaze, Diao Chan also put his eyes on Sun Quan, his mouth opened, and he stopped talking, but in the end he didn't say anything. Just like Wu Jing has been holding back here so that she can ask the doubts in her heart, for Diao Chan, Wu Jing is also an outsider, so there are some questions, and she can only ask Sun Quan privately after Wu Jing leaves.
Unlike Wu Jing, Diao Chan's concerns are more detailed. Diao Chan saw very clearly that the reason why Sun Quan was able to occupy Huaiyin so easily this time was ostensibly because he knew that Lu Bu was not in Huaiyin, but the core factor was actually that the vast majority of soldiers in Huaiyin firmly believed that Lu Bu would always stay in Huaiyin!
Therefore, intelligence is not the point, the point is that this intelligence is very secret, and it is classified to a degree far beyond Wu Jing's imagination. In Huaiyin City, I am afraid that there are less than a few people who know about this matter, and these people are bound to be Lu Bu's absolute trusted cronies. So, where did Sun Quan learn about this secret?
Who did Sun Quan secretly meet that night?
At this time, Diao Chan had a particularly strange feeling in his heart. It's not so much that Diao Chan cares about who Sun Quan meets, but rather that Diao Chan cares more about why Sun Quan even hides her. Even if this informant is very important and his identity is very sensitive, Diao Chan is firm, Sun Quan completely trusts her, and under normal circumstances, Sun Quan will never hide it from her!
Well, Diao Chan may not have noticed it himself, this feeling is like a main room, secretly suspecting that her husband has found a mistress.
Not mentioning Diao Chan's completely different concerns, next to him, Wu Jing mentioned some things that he was very concerned about,
"Zhongmou, you just said that the tax will be halved, will this be too much?" Wu Jing said, "Xuzhou is the granary of the world, and in the future, we will inevitably use the grain from Xuzhou to subsidize other regionsγγγγγγ β
"Uncle, Xuzhou is the granary of the world, and Huaiyin is just a very small piece of Xuzhou. Not to mention that my tax is halved, it is only applicable to some people, even if it is applied to the entire Huaiyin, it will not have much impact on the overall situation. Of course, this is not the point, the point is that we will soon send troops to Pi, Huaiyin will not have time to hand over all the time, and more rely on the autonomy of these original Huaiyin scholars, not to give them a little benefit, how can they be honest? Sun Quan explained.
"I'm afraid that there will be opinions from Jiangdong." Wu Jing suddenly said in a low voice, "There are many old heroes over there in Jiangdong, but those people's families have never had such a high tax reduction. β
Sun Quan frowned, Wu Jing reminded him in place, Sun Quan really ignored this problem beforehand. The world does not suffer from few, but from inequality. To put it simply, there are some old employees in Jiangdong, the old employees have not increased their wages for so many years, and the newcomers you recruit are treated better, how can the old employees have no complaints!
It's a bit tricky. It is obviously impossible to make Sun Quan go back on his word. The whole Jiangdong is so meritorious and executed, and it can't support it.
"In this way, it is said that Huaiyin was defeated by me, I am in charge, and I have established a special zone here. The policy of halving taxes is only limited to Huaiyin, and if those people are willing, move their families to Huaiyin, or establish a branch here, I will also halve their taxes! Sun Quan decided on the spot.
"This γγγγγγ"
Wu Jing simply couldn't keep up with Sun Quan's whimsical thoughts, although he didn't know what the effect would be, but at least he could temporarily gag some people's mouths. Wu Jing nodded,
"Okay."
I wondered if I would secretly predict the Wu family, let my family seize the opportunity, and come to Huaiyin to fight for a piece of territory first.
"By the way, what does it mean to believe in Buddhism? I'm afraid that as soon as your words come out, there will be a lot of fake monks in Huaiyin recently. Wu Jing suddenly remembered and asked.
