"Lord, Yu has a plan that can make him hurt his muscles and bones and be tired of running for his life!" Zhou Yu clenched his fists and said.

"What's the plan?" Sun Ce asked curiously.

"Salt!" Zhou Yu squinted his eyes and said: "Since the Spring and Autumn Period, Yantie has implemented the official system, and now, the Han Dynasty is turbulent, and there is no official system."

"At present, in addition to Yunchengchi salt and Sichuan Shujing salt, Jiangdong sea salt. Chu Feng is located in Jiangbei, and the two places are far away, and it is difficult to communicate with each other.

Therefore, he can only rely on Guangling and Jiangdong Haiyan, and the lord can write to Guangling Chen Deng, and control the salt merchants with him, and not communicate with him. ”

"As long as Guangling and Jiangdong don't supply salt to Chu Feng, it will be like holding his throat, then the people under his rule will have no salt to eat, and people will lack salt without salt, and they will flee in chaos."

In this way, the lord only needs to send a small work to spread the cheap sea salt in the south of the Yangtze River in the land of Jianghuai, and then the people will inevitably rush to come for their livelihood.

At that time, the lord only needs to send a general to guard the Jiangkou to collect all his people, but Chu Feng can only watch that this is a soldier who surrenders without a fight. ”

"In the spring ploughing of the next year, there will be no people under his rule, the land will be wasted, the ministry will be centrifuged, and the lord will cross the river to the north, but it can be decided by a war, wouldn't it be better?"

Zhou Yu said with a chuckle.

After hearing this, Sun Ce's eyes lit up, "Okay, what a soldier who surrenders without a fight, Gong Jin's plan is better than 100,000 male soldiers, I seem to have seen Chu Feng shoot the case, and I am annoyed and angry." ”

Sun Ce's generals, such as Cheng Pu and Huang Gai and other veterans, also nodded in approval, Zhou Yu's plan is very vicious, and he directly exterminated the people of Jiangbei, ruthless!

"The lord praised it!" Zhou Yu chuckled.

"Who does Gong Jin think is appropriate to send to Guangling?" Sun Ce asked again.

"Zhang Hong and Zhang Zigang are the best, Zigang is from Guangling, and the local area is quite prestigious, and Chen Deng is united with Cao Cao, I don't think I will refuse it, and the lord can spread rumors at that time."

Zhou Yu smiled elegantly.

"Very good, come here, hold my seal letter, and order Zigang to go to Guangling to discuss with Chen Deng." Sun Ce said loudly: "Gongfu, you and the Jianghuai region have a deep prestige, and you will lead the troops to the Hengjiang ferry on the next day." ”

"No!" The yellow cover should be down!

————

In the blink of an eye, the beginning of August.

After more than half a month of rectification, Chu Feng's rule has been stabilized, and the people in various places mostly use work for relief, or repair canals, dig rivers, or repair cities and roads.

There were also 3,000 female workers who were accepted by Chu Feng as female textiles, responsible for weaving cloth armor, and more than 1,000 craftsmen entered the craftsman battalion to be responsible for crossbows, quyuan plows and other military and agricultural use.

As for the three armies, from more than 30,000 people at the beginning, to 50,000 after the annexation of Liu Xun, and then Chu Feng's elite troops streamlined the government and cut off the dross.

At present, there are 20,000 foot soldiers, 3,000 boat divisions, and 800 cavalry, all of whom have rectified military discipline and practiced day and night in order to prepare for the next big battle.

And at this time,

Shouchun will be in the house.

Chu Feng sat in the first place, and at this moment, Liu Ye had just returned from Jingzhou, and sighed: "Lord, Liu Biao in Jingzhou refused to sell ships on the grounds that there were many river thieves. ”

"Not for sale?" Chu Feng frowned.

"The words are resolute, I have told all the pros and cons, but I just don't listen, and it is hopeless to buy a warship from Jingzhou!" Liu Ye sighed.

In fact, he knew why in his heart.

"My lord, when Ziyang went, I said that it was impossible for Liu Jingsheng to sell ships. Heroes in the world are all for profit, and although the lord is an ally, he may also harm his life! ”

On the side, Lu Su said with a wry smile.

"I sincerely form an alliance with Sun Ce to fight against Sun Ce, why do you want to harm his life? If Sun Ce wins Yuzhang, he will know the pros and cons of what I said! ”

Chu Feng said angrily.

"Lord, Liu Jingsheng is a thief who guards Chengcheng, where does the roe head rat have the foresight?" Lu Su chuckled, and then said, "The lord might as well think about it carefully,

If Liu Biao sells boats and the lord, the lord can cross the river and destroy Sun Ce's ability, Jingyang is one, and Jingzhou is its upstream.

With the will of the lord, will he be willing to live under the people? So in his opinion, once you become bigger, the people you kill will be his Liu Biao, so how dare he raise a tiger and respect himself? ”

After speaking, Lu Su chuckled and shook his head.

Chu Feng was annoyed, angry that he couldn't argue, such a great opportunity to form an alliance, he turned a blind eye. No wonder later generations have turned a blind eye to fighters many times,

If it weren't for his lack of ambition, it would be almost impossible for Cao Cao to win Guandu, and even said that Liu Biao had countless opportunities to directly attack Xuchang, but he didn't want to.

Chu Feng breathed a sigh of relief and said in a deep voice: "Since the decision on Jianghuai is the foundation, how can there be no warships?" If you develop a boater from scratch, you don't know how much you need, and you have to buy it. ”

"In this way, I will go in person and meet that Liu Biao. No matter how bad it is, I will exchange it for cloth armor, Jingzhou, the land of fish and rice, but it is not rich in iron ore, and Liu Biao can't refuse to come. ”

Chu Feng's words were conclusive, he knew that time was running out, once Sun Ce was allowed to take Yuzhang, he would really suffer from the enemy on his back, without any strategic depth, and he would die.

Unless he has the ability to defeat Cao Cao and seize the Central Plains, but Cao Cao ruled Wuchang and had elite soldiers and strong generals, how could he win? What's more, Sun Ce will attack him.

Hearing this, Lu Su and Liu Ye groaned, because they knew that what Chu Feng said was right, if they didn't go to Jiang now, once Sun Ce won Yuzhang, he would have no chance.

"Lord, the warship is indeed a top priority, but the Lord, your daughter, if you ......," Lu Su said worriedly.

"Although Liu Biao is a dog, he can recruit talents and make heroes all over the world, and he will not destroy his reputation, not to mention that I am the son of Yuan Shu, how dare I."

Chu Feng frowned.

He didn't want to go in person, but now it was too late, and this time he had to get a warship.

"Lord, although Liu Biao doesn't dare, but other thieves ......" Liu Ye reminded: "For example, Huang Zu, Cai Mao, etc., these are not good stubble!"

"The heroes of the world are all for profit, and I have not committed any crime with Jingzhou Qiu, how can I be embarrassed with me?"

"The lord forgot that when Yuan Gong and Nanyang were in the same year, they captured Xiangyang, so they made a feud, and Huang Zu even shot Sun Jian." Liu Ye asked.

"Then wouldn't it be better for me to shoot Sun Ce?" Chu Fenglang said with a smile: "Okay, my mind has been decided, and I will rush to Jingzhou to meet Liu Biao on the next day." ”

Lu Su and Liu Ye looked at each other and nodded,

In fact, the reason why the two of them said this was not that they thought that these people would assassinate Chu Feng, but that they reminded Chu Feng that these people needed to be more careful, which could be described as painstaking.

And at this time, the personal guard to,

"The lord, a strong man from outside the mansion brought dozens of people, saying that he wanted to challenge the lord and the lord, and said that if the lord wins, he will lead his relatives to the lord."

"Hmph, just a country savage dares to challenge?" Zhao Fan snorted coldly, and then said: "Later, the lord will meet such a barbarian." ”

"Hmm," Chu Feng nodded.

After speaking, he continued to examine and approve documents from various localities, straighten out government affairs, and strive to accumulate strength as soon as possible, and at this time he could not make policy mistakes.
