Zhu Zhi wanted to hear Qiao Wei's method.

"Two paths, one is more civilized, and the other is simple and rude." Qiao Wei said, "The civilization point is to find a group of experienced iron-smelting craftsmen to go to Danyang to find ores and mines. ”

Qiao Wei learned geography well in high school, and remembered that one of the large iron mines in China was in Ma'anshan, which was also in Danyang in this era, but this iron mine only began to be mined in small quantities at the beginning of the 20th century due to technical and exploration reasons.

However, the mineral reserves in Ma'anshan are quite considerable, and if they can be excavated, Qiao Wei thinks that the equipment needed to supply the Jiangdong Army is still more than enough.

"Another simple and crude way is to capture Wancheng and seize the mines of Wancheng in Nanyang."

Sun Ce has already laid down Runan, and Nanyang Wancheng is just a neighboring county.

And compared with the previous method, this way has the advantage of being simple and rude, that is, by the way, it can also take over the entire Sijin field and advanced iron smelting and forging technologies in Nanyang Wancheng, and bring those technicians into his command.

After all, talent is a real strategic reserve in any era. Otherwise, why do you always like to engage in corporate acquisitions in the shopping mall, and what you buy is mature talents, mature management operations and mature technical systems.

Although Qiao Wei has some research on the production of weapons, he is really like a mountain for iron smelting.

"So Madame is planning to let the prince rob Wancheng, and then seize the mines and rob people?"

Qiao Wei nodded, and then shook his head and corrected, "It's not robbing, it's taking over the jurisdiction, it's 'recruiting talents', 'selecting talents and promoting ability', Du Wei just used the word 'robbery', it sounds very undecent, like some kind of bandit."

Our Sun family is Hanchen, how could the loyal Hanchen do such a villainous act. ”

What can Zhu Zhi do? I can't say that what Qiao Wei said is wrong, so I can only echo it, "What Madame said is extremely true." ”

Our Jiangdong is the minister of the Han Dynasty, and our Jiangdong is the minister of the Han Dynasty.

After reciting it ten times, Zhu Zhi felt that his temperament had become a lot purer.

"What are the plans of the lady?"

"Nope." Qiao Wei also confessed, "I don't care about the war." ”

She also has no right to interfere in the military strategic direction of the Jiangdong Army, the only thing she can do is to write a letter to report some work progress, and then give her own little advice.

When Sun Ce received Da Qiao's letter, he had already captured Yingyang, although the process was not easy, Cao Ren thought of a plan to cut off grain and grass, and sent people to attack Sun Ce's rear, united with Liu Biao, and sent troops to cut off Sun Ce's grain and grass.

Thanks to Zhou Yu's alertness, he noticed the abnormal movement along the way in the south and took precautions in time, but he still had to keep the food and grass for a few days.

This incident can be regarded as completely infuriating Sun Ce, in order not to shake the morale of the army, he tried his best to attack Yingyang, with Sun Yi and Tai Shici as the vanguard, breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat, and captured Cao Ren in one go.

Xu Du is already close at hand, Cao Jun suddenly the army is in turmoil, although Cao Cao has continuously relieved the siege of Yuan Jun Baima, but Yuan Shao's strength, grain and grass are still far beyond Cao Jun. At this time, Yuan Shao also sent troops to march to Yangwu, and Yan Liang and other generals stationed in Guandu and attacked Xuchang in the south.

Cao Cao was already in a situation where he was faced with enemies on both sides, and had to write to Xun Yu to discuss whether he should retreat to Xudu.

And the answer given by Xun Yu is to seek peace with Sun Ce and win the victory in Guandu.

"Shao Xi gathered in Guandu, wanting to defeat the public victory. If it cannot be controlled, it will be taken advantage of, and it is a great opportunity in the world. And Shao, the male ears of cloth, can gather people but can't use it.

With the god of the public Wu Mingzhe supplemented by Dashun, why not! Although there is little food in the grain today, it is not Ruochu and Han in Xingyang and Chenggao. It was Liu and Xiang Moken who retreated first, thinking that if they retreated first, they would be bent.

It has been half a year since the public lived in a very large number of people, painted the ground and guarded it, and choked its throat and was not allowed to enter. Seeing that the situation is exhausted, there will be changes. When this is strange, it is not to be lost.

Ran Ce led the people of Jiangdong to enter Yan alone, fearing that Jingzhou would be constrained, and he would not be able to fight for a long time, and he could retreat if he sought peace to vent his anger. ”

At the same time, he sent an envoy to Yingyang, named Sun Ce as the Great Sima in the name of the Son of Heaven, made him a hussar general, led the Yangzhou pastor, and recruited Sun Quan and Sun Yi into Xuchang with a ceremony.

and promised to marry Cao Ren's daughter within half a month, and hire Sun Ben's daughter as Cao Zhang's wife.

Sun Ce looked at the envoy with the peace letter, and the corners of his mouth only had a slight disdainful smile, "Your Duke Cao is wise and knowledgeable, strategizing and strategizing, no wonder he can be the hero of the world and the minister of the Han court." ”

Every word is a compliment, but with Sun Ce's tone, anyone with ears can hear that this is an ironic sentence.

The envoy was drenched in cold sweat, and when he came, Sun Yi had already taken him to see the solemn appearance of the Jiangdong Army.

First of all, he directly took down the messenger with a knife and axe, and sent it to the school field, almost taking people's lives with a knife in his hand.

Fortunately, Sun Ce came "in time" and "saved" the person from Sun Yi's hands, so that he could still hear Sun Ce's "evaluation" of Cao Cao.

Although Sun Ce seemed to respectfully call the envoy "angel", when the envoy took out the edict of the Son of Heaven, he only saluted casually, and then sat down on the top seat very calmly.

After hearing the edict, he did not say words of gratitude, let alone get up to accept the edict.

The envoy had no choice but to clear his throat, read the edict again, and reminded in a low voice, "Wu Hou Ke got up and accepted the edict." ”

"There's no hurry." Sun Ce still didn't get up, but asked unhurriedly, "Is this edict the will of the Son of Heaven or the will of Sikong?" ”

Among the Xu capital, the one who is now Shang Shuling is Xun Yu, who is known as Xun Lingjun, and the person who intends to recruit is also this Wang Zuozhi, and whether this person is a minister of the Han Emperor or a minister of Cao Sikong, the world also knows it.

The envoy hurriedly said, "A certain is the envoy of the Son of Heaven, and naturally it is the edict of the Son of Heaven." ”

"Yes." Sun Ce stared at the envoy's eyes, "But when the lonely brother was holding his neck with a knife in the school field, what you shouted clearly was, 'Cao Peng of Sikong Mansion'." ”

The messenger couldn't help swallowing, his lips pursed, and he didn't dare to say more.

Sun Ce continued, "This person's words don't match the afterword, he is so capricious, he must be here to spy on the military situation of our army, Ji Bi, push it down!" ”

Sun Yi immediately stepped forward and grabbed the messenger's collar, and the blade went directly to his neck, cutting a wound.

The envoy shouted again and again, "Junhou Mingjian, it is indeed Cao Peng of Sikong Mansion, and today I came to announce the edict of the Son of Heaven in the name of the Son of Heaven!" ”

It is said that the two armies are at war, and they will not be killed. But in fact, there are a lot of people who actually kill them. Sun Ce was moody, and the envoy did not dare to bet on Sun Ce's bottom line.

"Then tell me, is this edict an order of the Son of Heaven or an order of Cao Sikong?"
