Chapter 112: Borrowing Again?
Wu Guo, Jianye.
"Hahaha, it's really an honor for Jiang Gong to come in person!"
Sun Jun greeted the envoy of Shu very warmly.
The envoy sent by Shu was not an ordinary person, this person was the son of Jiang Wan, an important minister of Shu, Jiang Xian.
He was ordered to envoy to Wu this time, which was probably the biggest minister sent to Wu by Shu after the relationship between Shu and Wu broke down.
It can be seen that Chen Yi is still very concerned about the matter of discussing with Wu Guo this time.
Chen Yi has a good relationship with Huang Hao and others, and because of this, he is loved by Liu Chan, Liu Chan thinks that he will not keep himself away from villains all day long, and the people around him have a very high evaluation of him, so they trust him even more.
Chen Yi took advantage of this trust to handle this matter.
It's just that Jiang Xian's interest at this moment is not very high.
As a person who has been nurtured by his father since childhood, he has some hostility towards Wu, which is no less hostile than Wei.
Jiang Wan was very angry at Wu Guo's behavior, and often gritted his teeth to talk about it to his sons.
Growing up in this environment, it is strange that Jiang Xianneng has a good impression of Wu Guo.
But the problem is that the current situation in Shu is too unfavorable, and they need help very much.
Sun Jun did not take Jiang Xian to meet the emperor, but took him directly to his mansion.
In fact, this can also show how much Sun Jun attaches importance to this matter.
He really didn't want to delay time, it wasn't just Shu who needed help, this ambitious young general in his thirties also needed help.
Sun Jun is very keenly aware of the disparity in strength between countries today.
In the past, in the face of Shu and Wu's crusade, Cao Wei still didn't dare to slack off, but now, Cao Wei's war zone can fight back and forth with them, how can Sun Jun be willing in his heart?
He didn't dare to imagine that if he delayed like this, a war zone in the Wei State would be able to destroy him.
Sun Jun brought the other party into the study, asked Jiang Xian to sit down, and then asked his henchmen and ministers to come in to pay a visit.
There were a few people who came, Sun Qi, Quan Shang, Zhu Yuan, Ding Feng and others.
After these people entered, they bowed to Jiang Xian and immediately sat on both sides.
Sun Jun sat on the top seat and looked at Jiang Xian on the side.
Jiang Xian noticed that the young general did not look as robust as rumored.
Sun Jun is actually very capable of fighting, but his face is a little pale at the moment, and he looks a little weak.
In fact, since Sun Yi questioned and committed suicide, his health has not been as good as before, and he has been worried all day long, becoming more and more haggard.
"Gong Jiang, this time I came here for the sake of the alliance?"
Sun Jun couldn't wait to get into the topic.
"Today's Cao thieves are powerful, if we can't join forces, we will definitely be controlled by Cao thieves"
"I heard that Cao Chao, the little emperor of Cao Thief, is like his great-ancestor, who is cruel and tyrannical, and just became pro-government, he punished Situ's clan, left no one behind, and sent people to the local area to kill."
"Such a murderous person will definitely do something to our two families in the future, and when the time comes, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for us to resist."
Sun Jun calmly analyzed the current situation and said his thoughts.
Jiang Xian's face was a little embarrassed.
In fact, when he came to Wu this time, he encountered great pressure.
Don't look at the old ministers are already dead, but their children are still alive, there are many generals in Shu who died in the hands of Wu State, how can their heirs tolerate the temple and Wu State to re-befriend?
Including their emperor Liu Chan, who also had the same idea, after Chen Yi proposed to send an envoy to Wu, some ministers went to the palace to find the emperor and cry to him.
Liu Chan immediately wanted to order this matter to stop.
Chen Qi tried hard to persuade him, so he tried his best to bow his head to Huang Hao and others, so that the emperor could change his mind.
And that's just an envoy.
Well, I'm afraid it's not easy to form an alliance.
Jiang Xian didn't have stage fright, he immediately said: "You are right, now the Cao thief is powerful, we have also heard a little about that Cao Chao, I heard that this thief is insidious, and when we learned that the wife of the general under his command was good-looking, we killed the general and took away his wife." ”
For Cao Chao, the two countries are naturally all kinds of black, and if they find black material, they will die black, and if they can't find it, they will make it black.
Even if he is only more than ten years old, Cao Chao's impression in both countries is very terrible, murderous, and tyrannical, anyway, he will not end well if he takes refuge.
Jiang Xian first expressed his attitude towards the Cao thief, and then changed his words and said: "The general doesn't know, the previous crusade against the Cao thief was extremely effective, which made the Cao thief chaotic in the north. ”
"Even General Anxi, who is a thief, is surrounded by us in the city and does not dare to go out."
"It's a pity that Shu is small, and there is really no grain and grass to supply the army, because of the lack of grain and grass, the army can only return helplessly."
"I heard that because of the general's governance, the state of Wu has become richer and richer, and there are countless grains and grass materials, which can fill the entire river."
"As the general said, Cao Thief is now powerful and cannot be underestimated, and only by working together can we defeat him."

Jiang Xian cleared his throat, "If the general can give us some grain and grass, we will continue the Northern Expedition next year, and we will let Cao Thief send a large army to defend, and when the time comes, Huainan will definitely be empty."
The joy on Sun Jun's face slowly disappeared.
Sun Qi on the side almost jumped up.
Borrowing grain?? Why do you want to borrow it?? You're in the same league as Biqiu Jian, aren't you?!
Do you really treat our Wu Kingdom as a fat pig??
He was about to have a seizure, but Sun Jun stopped him with his eyes.
Sun Jun's idea is that the two families will be completely aligned, let go of their prejudices, so that they can reduce the number of troops defending each other, and deal with Cao thieves with peace of mind
But after Jiang Xian finished speaking, Sun Jun knew in his heart that the other party was just here to ask for help, and he didn't want the idea of an alliance.
Sun Jun continued: "What you said is very reasonable, I have also heard about General Wei's war in the northwest. ”
"Today's situation is like this, if our two countries can't join forces, they will be deceived by Cao thieves."
"You need grain and grass, and we also need Shu to contain the army of Cao thieves."
"Okay, let's join forces with the two of us, the matter of food and grass, that's too easy to say, I can give an order now, let's put aside our past prejudices and deal with a strong enemy together, isn't it good?"
Jiang Xian pursed his lips.
That's what you said last time.
He said very seriously: "This is not something I can do, I will inform my majesty about this matter." ”
"I came this time so that the two countries can help each other, and we also have what the general needs, such as splendid cloth and silk, which we can use in exchange for food and military funds."
Jiang Xian told his thoughts again, he came to get food this time, and you go to the emperor for the affairs of the alliance.
Sun Jun let out a long sigh.
He knows that it will be a little difficult for the two countries to put aside their prejudices and form an alliance.
But Sun Jun didn't blame Shu Guo, he didn't have a good evaluation of what happened in the past, so he could only endure it.
Sun Jun was silent for a long time before he said, "It's okay, we still have some grain in stock, and we can trade with you."
The two discussed for a long time before Sun Jun sent someone to take him to see the emperor.
As soon as this person left, Sun Qi couldn't help it.
"Brother, have you forgotten about Biqiu Jian?!"
"I don't have much food in Wu country, I gave it to Cao thief for no reason before, and now I want to give it to Shu thief for no reason?!"
"Do you know how those people laughed at you because of what happened last time?"
"They call you a good general in private."
"We have already suffered a loss, and now you still want to borrow grain from Shu??"
Sun Qi couldn't understand his brother's thoughts at all, but Sun Jun didn't even look at it, and laughed at himself: "Isn't kindness a good word?" What kind of mockery is this? ”
He looked at the rest of the ministers, "I originally wanted to form an alliance with the Shu Kingdom. ”
"But looking at Jiang Xian's appearance, I'm afraid it's unlikely in the short term, but we still have to find a way to implement it."
"Today's Cao thief is powerful, Shu has experienced defeat before, and even Zhang Yi has been captured."
"If we can't help this time, then in the future, Shu will not be able to contain the Cao thief, and may even be destroyed by it, and at that time, the Wu State will only be difficult to face the Cao thief alone."
After Sun Jun finished analyzing, he said: "Therefore, I decided to give them food, not to let Shu perish, if the Cao thief uses troops on a large scale against Shu, then we will attack the rear, so that they can't deal with Shu with all their might, what do you think?" ”
Several ministers nodded their heads and agreed with Sun Jun's statement.
Looking at Sun Qi, who was still angry, Sun Jun said with some displeasure: "You are so impatient and narrow-minded, how can you achieve great things?" ”
"Don't hang out with those friends in the future, talk all day long, and I don't know what the use is!"
Sun Jun reprimanded him and drove Sun Qi out of here.
He and the rest of the ministers once again planned to cooperate with Shu.
Today's Sun Qi is very hopeful to establish a relationship with Jiang Wei, and the people who are on the Northern Expedition every year must be able to know which is more important, even if there is a big contradiction between the two sides in the past, under the threat of the death of the country, they should get back together and fight the enemy together.
He must have understood his own thoughts.
Sun Jun was very confident in this, but when Sun Jun was busy with these things, someone came to interrupt his plan.
This person was sent by Princess Quan, and Sun Jun couldn't get angry yet.
The reason why Princess Quan sent someone to find Sun Jun was also very simple, Princess Quan pointed out that her sister Princess Zhu was involved in Sun Yi's rebellion.
Sun Jun didn't want to start, but the princess urged again and again.
Sun Jun let out a long sigh, he didn't quite understand what was wrong with this Wu Kingdom.
There are many problems that need to be dealt with, and the forces of all parties are not willing to give Wu a moment of relaxation, and the incessant infighting and turmoil are destroying the country step by step.
What went wrong?
