Ten days later.

Jiujiang County.

Hefei.

The outer walls of the city defense line of Hefei City are all made of solid bluestone masonry, and the city wall is tall and straight, which seems to be able to reach into the sky.

The watchtower on the wall stands tall and the guards keep watch over it to ensure safety. The city wall is dotted with huge sun-character flags, fluttering in the wind, which is very conspicuous.

The entire line of defense meandered along the river, with a fortified fortress at intervals.

The forts were constructed of large blocks of stone and rammed earth and were surrounded by deep, wide trenches with deep and damp water, which made it more difficult for the besiegers.

The Koto guards inside the fortress lined up in formation, armed with bows, crossbows, knives and guns, and other weapons, ready to respond to the enemy's attack at any time.

Along the defensive line, there are various fortifications, such as arrow towers, crossbow towers, trebuchets, etc. Towers stand tall and are equipped with elite crossbowmen to cover a wide area around them.

The giant crossbow machine on the crossbow tower can penetrate the iron armor with every arrow fired, which is a nightmare for the besiegers. Trebuchets can shoot boulders to knock back any enemies that come to siege the city.

On the city wall of Hefei, Sun Quan looked at the Hefei defense line, and his head was constantly lit.

"It's really a strong city!"

He spent a huge price, mobilized tens of thousands of people, plus tens of thousands of soldiers, day and night, for several months, to build the Hefei defense line.

With the Hefei defense line, he wants to see, so Wei may take it back?

No matter how brave that Zhang Liao is, he has to be turned away from the city!

What my Sun Zhongmou eats, there is no reason to spit it out!

"Lord, the news from Guangling County has been clarified."

Lu Xun, who was dressed in light armor, took a step short of Sun Quan and whispered behind Sun Quan.

"Will be specific, let's talk."

Lu Xun was previously sent to guard the rear.

The thousands of Wei cavalry, attacking the rear made Jiangdong miserable, and was finally recalled by Cao Pi, so that the fortifications of Hefei could continue.

Although it was useless, there was no sin, and Lu Xun was arranged by Sun Quan to collect news about Guangling County.

"Now in Guangling County, only Zong Ziqing has thousands of men and horses, plus the remnants of Yili, and the soldiers who have been recruited recently, but there are only 10,000 people, and it is barely enough to hold Guangling County."

Sun Quan nodded, and then asked, "How is the combat strength of its army?" ”

"Yili's department is a rout division, and its combat effectiveness is not strong, but the three thousand Jingzhou soldiers borrowed by Zang Ba from Jiangxia can be regarded as elite, as for the newly recruited Guangling Xiangyong, they are all confused in defending the city, let alone others."

"In Guangling County, grain and grass can be abundant?" Sun Quan asked again.

"Although it is not much, it should be no problem to support an army of 10,000 people for several years."

Xuzhou has been recuperating for many years, and there are still some foundations.

"It looks like it's going to be a storm."

Sun Quan's fists clenched suddenly, and the murderous aura in his eyes flashed.

"Perhaps, I should agree to the request of the prince of Hanzhong and go to attack Shouchun, in this case, then Guangling County will give up to my Jiangdong."

"Humph!"

Sun Quan snorted coldly, and he said angrily: "Then Liu Chan's words, do you also believe it?" ”

As a professional liar, he is too sensitive to deception, how can he believe such a trap?

"It's just a vain loss of my Jiangdong military strength, that Shouchun is now guarded by Zhang Wenyuan, how can ordinary people capture the city guarded by Zhang Liao? Besides, my Jiangdong grain and herbs are insufficient. ”

Lu Xun has other opinions.

"In fact, my subordinates also know that the prince of Hanzhong intends to cheat secretly, but then he cheats secretly, then Liu Chan also gave Guangling County to my Jiangdong, with this great righteousness, I will attack Guangling County, and the division will be famous, otherwise, it will be a betrayal of the alliance, and I am afraid that the world will laugh at it!"

Now that he Jiangdong and Liu Chan still have an alliance with him, he fights Guangling County for no reason, isn't this a betrayal of the alliance again?

Originally, Jiangdong's reputation was poor, and if it continued like this, no one would dare to ally with them.

I'm afraid that Cao Pi and Liu Chan feel that his Jiangdong covenant is like a piece of waste paper, and everything Jiangdong people say is nonsense!

"It's just a reputation"

Sun Quan looked at Lu Xun's somewhat dark face, but he didn't say anything more after all.

Although he Sun Zhongmou is shameless, his subordinate ministers still have to be faced.

"It's a pity that I have already rejected that Liu Chan child, I will still find an opportunity to sneak attack Guangling!"

If you can carry out a sneak attack, try not to use an upright method!

Sun Quan thought to himself: I don't care what the world thinks of me! I just need to eat the fat meat of Guangling County, and that's enough!

"Newspaper~"

At this moment, a herald ran up from under the city gate.

"Lord Qi, the envoy of the prince of Hanzhong has arrived outside the city!"

The envoy of the crown prince of Hanzhong?

Again?

Sun Quan's face turned dark.

He opened his mouth, just wanted to refuse, didn't want to be by his side, Gu Yong hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Don't be in a hurry to refuse, don't be in a hurry to refuse, after meeting the envoy of the prince of Hanzhong, I will talk about anything else." ”

"Yes, yes!"

Lu Xun, Zhuge Jin and others spoke one after another.

This unknown teacher is doing the betrayal of the alliance, you Sun Quan is willing to do it, and we are no longer willing to bear the infamy of the Jiangdong rats.

"That's it!"

How can Sun Quan not understand the thoughts of these ministers?

"Let's see each other!"

After a while.

Hefei city.

The lobby of the government office.

Sun Quan sat on the main seat, his face was slightly serious, and his facial features were distinct. The thick black hair already had a little silver strands, especially the temples, but these white hairs showed his calmness and wisdom even more. His eyes are deep and sharp, with a piercing eye, revealing a determined and wise gaze.

After a long time, I saw the envoy of the prince of Hanzhong coming slowly.

This person is very familiar to everyone in Jiangdong here.

It was Xu Shen and Xu Ziming who were turned against Liu Chan in Jiangling.

"The foreign envoy pays a visit to Wu Hou." Xu Shen held the talisman in his hand, and bowed to Sun Quan without being humble or arrogant.

"Humph!"

Sun Quan just snorted coldly at this, and in his eyes when he looked at Xu Shen, the murderous aura had already begun to slowly condense.

"What are you doing here? Do you think I don't dare to kill you? ”

"Hahaha~"

Sun Quan's prickly words, after Xu Shen listened to it, instead of being afraid, he laughed loudly, and said a little arrogantly: "Wu Hou can kill me, but. These two armies didn't fight each other, not to mention that our Han army was so non-enemy army, if Wu Hou killed me, wouldn't he be infamous in vain? ”

As if thinking of something, Xu Shen continued to mock on the side: "That's right, Wu Hou betrays the alliance from time to time, what is it to bear a little infamy?" For Wu Hou, this reputation has long been something outside his body. ”

"You!"

Sun Quan stretched out his hand and pointed directly at Xu Shen, who was so angry that his face was red and his neck was thick, that look, that look, as if he was going to swallow Xu Shen alive.

Those who scold him are abominable!

As a second or fifth boy, he still came to scold him, then this kind of person is the most hateful of the hateful!

"Come on, take Xu Shen down, pull him outside the hall and behead him to show the public!"

In an instant, the two armored guards outside the hall stepped forward to pull Xu Shen out to ask for a beheading.

"Slow down!"

Zhuge Jin hurriedly stepped forward to comfort: "Xu Shen is open-mouthed, although it is hateful, but after all, he is the envoy of the crown prince of Hanzhong, the king might as well listen to the news that Liu Chan, the prince of Hanzhong, wants him to bring, and then it is not too late to deal with him!" ”

Gu Yong also nodded.

"The king is grand and elegant, and he doesn't have to be as knowledgeable as Xu Ziming."

"Please think twice!"

After some persuasion from the courtiers, Sun Quan finally swallowed his anger.

He waved his hand, and the two guards who had imprisoned Xu Shen immediately put down Xu Shen and left.

"Xu Shen, what kind of conspiracy does Liu Chan have in his children, you might as well tell it and listen to it."

Xu Shen snorted coldly, not giving Sun Quan any good face at all.

"I heard that Jiangdong is now planning Guangling County, and Wu Hou is ready to betray the alliance again?"

Sun Quan's face was gloomy, and Lu Xun said on the side: "Do you believe the prince of Hanzhong when it comes to chasing after the wind and shadows?" ”

"Huh."

Xu Shen sneered and continued: "People are doing it, the sky is watching, whether there is it or not, Wu Hou naturally knows it in his heart, and His Royal Highness also knows it." ”

Let's talk about it.

Xu Shen waved the corner of his clothes and continued: "It is normal for Wu Hou to go to Guangling County, after all, the location of Guangling County is very critical to Jiangdong, and my Royal Highness also understands that if Jiangdong wants Guangling County, my Royal Highness is willing to give Guangling County to Wu Hou." ”

Gift me?

Sun Quan looked at Xu Shen coldly and sneered: "That kid would be so kind? ”

"Wu Hou This is the heart of a villain and the belly of a gentleman, the sincerity of His Royal Highness is really a fist, just a trivial request."

Hum!

Sun Quan secretly mocked.

"Isn't this coming? And say that there is no conspiracy? ”

"If I want to attack Shouchun, it will never work."

Xu Shen smiled and said, "It's not to attack Shouchun, you just need Jiangdong to send some grain and grass to Runan." ”

Sending grain and grass?

The sneer on Sun Quan's face was even worse.

"Then Liu Chan, will he be so kind?"

"Wu Hou Mo has to forget, you are still the father-in-law of His Royal Highness of my family, Jiangdong and My Highness were originally a family, where are you welcome, okay?"

Father-in-law?

My Sun Zhongmou doesn't have his rebellious son-in-law!

The thought of the face of the foot trainer made him angry.

"The envoy can say, how much grain and grass is the prince of Hanzhong willing to exchange for Guangling County."

The grain and grass are only compared to the previous time to attack Shouchun, and this condition has become a lot lower.

"200,000 grains can be exchanged for a hundred miles of land in Guangling County!"

200,000 grains and grass?

Lu Xun made a contemplative state.

In fact, this condition is not unacceptable.

Hearing that only 200,000 grains and grass were needed to exchange for Guangling County, Sun Quan's brows furrowed, and his face was full of suspicion.

No way!

When pigs fly!

This cheap son-in-law of his, it is impossible to be so kind!

"There will be deception in it!"

Xu Shen smiled and said: "If the prince doesn't want it, my lord can turn around and sell Guangling County to Zang Ba, don't say it's 200,000 Hu grain and grass, it's 300,000 Hu grain, then Xuzhou Zang Ba is willing to change." ”

After Xu Shen said this, he made a gesture to leave.

"Slow down, messenger."

Gu Yong hurriedly stepped forward to stop Xu Shen, then turned his head to look at Sun Quan, and said, "Lord, 200,000 grains, in exchange for Guangling County, a sure deal, why not?" ”

Sure to make a profit or lose money?

That Liu Gonghei is cunning and abnormal, there must be a demon in this matter!

If you say yes, you'll have a ghost!

Lu Xun's eyes flickered, but he said on the side: "Lord, please think twice." ”

Hum!

I don't know how many times Sun Quan snorted coldly today.

"The messenger will go and rest for a day or two, and he will give an answer within this day!"

Xu Shen smiled lightly, saluted Sun Quan, and then retreated.

After he left, Lu Xun's words slowly came out.

"In this matter, then Liu Gonghei must be deceitful!"

Lu Xun's eyes flickered, and his tone was sonorous and powerful.

"But 200,000 pieces of grain and grass, in exchange for the name of justice in Guangling County, your subordinates think it's worth stealing."

Although Jiangdong is now short of grain, it has not reached the point where it cannot get 200,000 grains and grass.

"It's just. I always felt that something was wrong. ”

That Liu Chan kid will definitely not be so kind.

He obviously dug a hole, and I still have to jump down?

"It's not right, it's also beneficial to my Jiangdong, Guangling County is like chicken ribs for the prince of Hanzhong, the food is tasteless, it's a pity to abandon it, why don't you exchange some grain and grass for him to attack Runan to be practical, from the starting point, then Liu Chan has a motive."

Zhuge Jin also stepped forward and said: "If you can win Guangling County and pay 200,000 grains and grass, what is it?" ”

"Mainly in the name of justice, I'm a good son of Jiangdong, how can I be called a Jiangdong rat?" Gu Yong's tone was even more excited.

Originally, as a reader, he relied purely on one mouth.

As a result, because of Sun Quan's repeated betrayal of the alliance, these days, he has never won a quarrel with the northerners!

Gu Yong: Bei Lingzi is ridiculous, and now it's ridiculous that Cao is a thief and betrays Hanzong!

Northerners: The Jiangdong rats who betrayed the alliance have to say it again!

Gu Yong: Wei's civil strife, the war is endless, and the lives are devastated, and my Jiangdong is the land of kings!

Northerners: Jiangdong rats who betrayed the alliance, you say a fart!

Fuck it!

No matter what he says, people betray the alliance one by one, and add a Jiangdong rat, which really makes him unable to refute it.

It's infuriating!

Now that he can do a dignified and upright act, Gu Yong naturally raised his hands and feet in agreement.

"So. That's it! ”

Sun Quan thought about it, although these 200,000 grains and grass are a lot for Jiangdong, but compared to a Guangling County, it is definitely not much.

Even if that kid had any conspiracy, he Sun Quan also took it.

"You can agree to Xu Shen's request, but if you want me to send grain and grass over, you have to let him let Guangling City and Jiangdu out first."

In order to avoid this being the treacherous trick of the heir of Liu, Sun Quan felt that it was better to get the two cities first.

It doesn't matter if he has a conspiracy in it afterwards.

Two important cities were won, and the 200,000 grains and grass were not a loss!

"It's better to summon Xu Shen now."

Sun Quan nodded immediately.

Soon, Xu Shen, who had left not long ago, appeared in the hall again.

"Presumably, the prince has made a decision now."

Xu Shen looked at Sun Quan with a smile.

"200,000 grains and grass for Guangling City, I can do this business in Jiangdong, but I have to let Guangling City and Jiangdu garrison Jiangdong first!"

Xu Shen showed a hesitant look on his face, as if he had been thinking for a long time, and after experiencing a battle between heaven and man in his mind, he said: "It's not impossible to garrison, but the prince has to promise me two conditions." ”

Condition?

Sun Quan raised his eyebrows.

"Tell me about it."

Xu Shen said softly: "First, allow Xuzhou to transfer grain and grass to Runan. ”

It's just an aisle, it's not impossible.

Sun Quan nodded and said, "But! ”

Xu Shen continued: "Second, allow my soldiers and civilians who were stranded in Guangling County to withdraw to Jiangxia. ”

Sun Quan agreed even more with this.

"Yes!"

He immediately responded.

If the Han army in Guangling County doesn't leave, he will be scared.

"In this way, when the prince transports the grain and grass to Jiangxia, it will also be the time when Guangling City and Jiangdu are given to Wuhou!"

Pay with one hand, deliver with the other.

Fair enough!

"Grain and grass will be transported to Jiangxia in a few days!"

Sun Quan agreed very happily.

After the refreshment was over, he had a smug look on his face at the moment.

This Northern Expedition first got Hefei, and then got Guangling.

I, Sun Zhongmou, am a true hero!

Hehe.

If it is really as Xu Shen said, then his cheap son-in-law is very honest this time.

Did you give me Guangling?

It seems that the wind on Xiaohu's pillow is not blowing in vain.

Do you want.

Send the big tiger over too?

The two blow together, maybe it will work wonders!
