Jianye.

Prince's Mansion.

In the lobby.

Sun Deng, the crown prince of Wu, was entertaining a group of officials of the prince's mansion in the hall.

Sun Deng is Sun Quan's eldest son, and his biological mother was from a humble background, so Sun Quan handed Sun Deng over to Mrs. Xu to raise, and we can also see from here that when Sun Deng was born, Sun Quan already had the heart to make him his heir.

Sun Deng is also very competitive, he has studied hard under the supervision of Sun Quan since he was a child, and has learned a wealth of knowledge, and he is already like a Ming Lord.

Not long ago, Sun Quan was named King of Wu by Cao Wei and became his subordinate courtier, and Sun Deng was also made the crown prince by Sun Quan, and his identity was preliminarily determined.

According to the convention, the state of Wu was so powerful that Sun Quan would inevitably send his closest heirs to the state of Wei as protons to make the king of Wei feel at ease.

During this time, Cao Pi asked Sun Quan for many times, and Sun Deng was the one he wanted, but Sun Quan tried his best to refuse him.

This is on the one hand related to Sun Quan's insincerity in calling his ministers, and it also has a lot to do with Sun Quan's attention to Sun Deng.

After all, in Sun Quan's view, Sun Deng is his future successor, if he is sent to be a proton and there is an accident, it will take too much time to retrain a qualified successor.

Sun Deng is most like Sun Quan in that Corporal Lixian, and he is even more than that.

At that time, Sun Deng was surrounded by several ministers selected by Sun Quan in the past, and Sun Deng never bullied others, putting the prince's score in front of them, but the two sides treated them equally, often riding together, eating and sleeping together.

Sun Deng also has a half-friend and half-subordinate, his name is Chen Biao, although Chen Biao's family has some surplus grain, but it is more to support the scholars, so when Chen Biao died, his family was so poor that he did not even have a house, Sun Deng learned about it, and specially rushed to mourn for Chen Biao, and built a house for his relatives.

It can be said that Sun Deng has a charismatic personality.

But no matter how charming he is, if he wants to solve the problem now, it is this Prince Wu, and his brows are furrowed.

"Everyone, drink this cup!"

Among the subordinate officials of the Prince's Mansion, many of them are after the generals, but more are after the Jiangdong scholars.

That's normal.

The descendants of the people who fought on the battlefield, most of them didn't know a single big word, they could only fight on the battlefield, and they entered the prince's mansion, but they didn't have anything to do.

In today's palace of Prince Wu, Zhuge Ke is the left auxiliary captain, Zhang Xiu is the right auxiliary captain, Gu Tan is the auxiliary captain, and Chen Biao is the wing is the captain, known as the "four friends".

And Xie Jing, Fan Shen, Diao Xuan, Yang Wei, etc. are all guests, so the Prince's Mansion is known as a famous man and a full of talents.

"Your Highness, please!"

Zhuge Ke picked up the wine bottle and drank all the wine in the wine bottle.

His father, Zhuge Jin, was deeply trusted by Sun Quan in the court, although he did not succeed a few times when he went on an envoy.

But success is relative, and he can complete the task assigned by Sun Quan to the letter, although his ability is slightly insufficient, but at least he can rest assured!

For example, Lü Meng, who was originally the governor of Jiangdong, was sent to Chengdu to make an envoy, and although he returned this time, he was also sent to the south to conquer Shanyue.

What is Yamagoe?

When Lu Xun was not famous, he was able to lead troops to pacify, but now he wants to go to the metropolitan governor?

Isn't this a knife used to kill chickens?

But.

The whole court of Wu knew why this was so.

Even the actor Lu Meng knows it in his heart.

It's just that he has lost Sun Quan's trust and is suspicious.

Everyone drank a glass of wine, Sun Deng's face was slightly red, and he said to the left and right: "Do you think that I want my father to attach to the Wei State, is this move right or wrong?" ”

True or False?

Zhuge Ke is seven feet six inches long, with few eyebrows, a wide forehead, and a loud mouth, he immediately got up at this moment and said in a loud voice: "Attaching to the Wei State is the best policy, where can there be a mistake?" ”

"It's just that Liu Chan, the prince of the Han Dynasty, has already cut off the business of the Jiangdong Business Alliance, and the delivery of materials from all over the country has actually stagnated for a while, and I heard that there are quite a lot of losses in various places."

There are many caravans of Jingzhou merchant alliance, and Jiangling is a transit station, which can continuously transport objects from Yizhou, Jingzhou, and even Wei to Jiangdong.

Like beautiful porcelain, like glass, like perfume, and even Mei Ji, Youling, as long as you have money, there is nothing you can't buy.

Relying on the transit of the business alliance, Jiangdong has flourished for a while, and the newly established commercial tax has obtained tens of millions of money from it, which can be described as huge profits.

And those Jiangdong scholars who are in charge of the business alliance are even more full of oil.

Now that the good business has been cut off, Sun Deng is worried that the Jiangdong clan will take risks, so he wants to convene the prince's palace officials today to solve the matter.

After all, many of the current prince's officials are from the Jiangdong family.

Sun Deng looked at Zhuge Ke with a smile and said, "I heard that Du Wei's family also participated in the business alliance, and in just one month, he earned millions of money, but? ”

Zhuge Jin is surnamed Zhuge after all.

In addition, with Liu Chan, there is also a period of 'revolutionary friendship', which is a deep participation in the business alliance.

This time, Jiangdong was attached to Wei, and Liu Chan cut off the benefits of the Shang Alliance, and the Zhuge family suffered serious losses

Zhuge Ke smiled and said, "The reason why my Zhuge family can get the benefits of the business alliance is not because there is a king to manage Jiangdong?" This was originally an extra bonus, but now that it is lost, what will happen? ”

Zhuge Ke is a shrewd person.

Once, Sun Quan saw Zhuge Ke and asked him, "Who is better, your father or your uncle (referring to Zhuge Liang)?" ”

Zhuge Ke replied: "My father is better. ”

Sun Quan asked him why, and Zhuge Ke said, "My father knows who to serve, but my uncle doesn't, so my father is better." ”

Sun Quan laughed when he heard this.

Later, envoys from Shu arrived, and the ministers gathered.

Sun Quan said to the envoy of Shu: "This Zhuge Ke likes to ride horses very much, go back and tell Prime Minister Zhuge to choose a good horse for his nephew to send it." ”

Zhuge Ke immediately knelt in front of Sun Quan to thank him, Sun Quan felt strange and asked him: "The horse has not yet arrived, why do you thank him in person?" ”

Zhuge Ke said: "Shu Kingdom is like His Majesty's stable outside. Now that I have a will, a good horse will be delivered, how dare I not thank it? ”

There are many things that show that Zhuge is quick and good at coping.

Therefore, it is not unreasonable for Zhuge Ke to become a powerful minister in the later period of Jiangdong.

This kid's mind, that's called a flexible.

"Duwei is really a loyal and brave man, and the Zhuge family is a loyal and brave family!"

After speaking, Sun Deng looked around at everyone and fixed his gaze on Zhang Xiu and Gu Tan.

Gu Tan is the son of Gu Shao and the grandson of Gu Yong.

This Gu Shao is well-read, and he is as famous as his uncle Lu Ji, better than Lu Xun, Zhang Dun, Bu Jing and others. The fame was widespread, and Sun Quan married Sun Ce's daughter to him. It is known for being good at recognizing people.

Zhang Xiu is the son of Zhang Zhao, after Sun Quan was named the queen of Wu, Zhang Zhao was appointed as the general of Suiyuan, and was named the Marquis of Fist. Since then, he has participated in the compilation of the court. When Sun Quan wanted to set up the prime minister twice, everyone elected Zhang Zhao.

It can be seen that its power in Jiangdong is not small.

Whether it is Zhang Xiu or Gu Tan, they are all figures pushed to the table by the four major families in Jiangdong, and now that the interests of the Shi clan have been damaged, Sun Deng naturally wants to test the attitude of the Jiangdong Shi clan.

Gu Tan smiled bitterly and said: "There are many people in the family, and the money is consumed, and many clansmen are obsessed with perfume, glass, porcelain and other objects, it seems that they have made a lot of money in the business alliance, but most of them have been exchanged for goods, and they have not made too much. ”

It is easy to get rich, but it is difficult to keep money.

Suddenly get rich, that is naturally to be consumed, now there is no money, but the habit of consumption has not changed, this resentment will definitely not be sprinkled on himself, so who can it only be sprinkled on?

Of course, it was Sun Deng, the crown prince of Wu who proposed to attach himself to Wei.

"The Zhang family is the same as the Gu family, and the family often writes to urge them these days, and there is no way for the ministers."

Seeing the sad faces of the two, Sun Deng had already sunk his heart to the bottom.

moved the interests of the family, it seems that the impact is even greater than he thought!

"If it is attached to the Han State, I Jiangdong has no possibility of enterprising, this is not beautiful, now my Wu State is dependent on the Wei State, and I can take advantage of the momentum of the Wei State in the near future to win Guangling, and the children of each family can contribute people and money, and we will share the place they get."

The business alliance has less money, right?

Wouldn't it be beautiful to divide the cake after laying down Guangling, and your family can also make up for the loss?

Zhang Xiu said with a wry smile: "Then Xuzhou Zang Ba is not an easy person, but with the help of Wei State, how much can Wei State help?" How much grain will be spent on Guangling County? How many soldiers died? ”

Gu Tan also nodded.

"The benefits of the business alliance can be earned by lying down, and the attack on Guangling, not to mention the waste of money and food, there is also the possibility of failure, even if it occupies Guangling, the income of each family is not as profitable as the business alliance."

This is also not okay?

Sun Deng frowned and said, "Can't I Jiangdong also form the Jiangdong Business Alliance?" Sell the things from Jiangdong to Wei in exchange for money? ”

At this time, Zhuge Ke also stepped forward to speak.

"Your Highness, this business alliance is not easy, the reason why the Han Kingdom can drum up the business alliance is that it has glass, beautiful porcelain, and perfume, all of which Jiangdong can't make!"

Business Alliance, Business Alliance.

You have to make a profit!

What are the specialties in Jiangdong that can be sold to the Wei State?

Even if there is a specialty, counting the road expenses, how much can you earn?

After listening to the answers of these people, Sun Deng's face was completely gloomy.

"I just don't believe it, is it possible that if I am frustrated in Jiangdong, he will not be frustrated in those business travelers in Jingzhou?"

The Jiangdong Business Alliance has suffered heavy losses, so if it loses this arm of Jiangdong, isn't the force in charge of Jiangdong in Jingzhou also suffering heavy losses?

"Can't you fornicate with the Jingzhou Shi clan and secretly do business travel?"

Gu Tan immediately shook his head and said: "Jingzhou Business Alliance, some businesses do not stop at Jiangdong, losing the business in Jiangdong is indeed a heavy loss for them, but it is not to the point of being unsustainable, besides, the Han State has a military division, which is pervasive, and the Jingzhou Shi clan who is in charge of the Jiangdong Business Alliance probably does not dare to joke with the lives of the Jiang clan." ”

This doesn't work, that doesn't work?

"Can I only rely on the Han Kingdom, and I have a way out in Jiangdong?"

As soon as Sun Deng's words came out, Zhang Xiu immediately got up and said: "If you are attached to the Han State, then my Jiangdong will be prosperous, and if you are attached to the Wei State, Jiangdong will be in turmoil, and please ask the prince to know it!" ”

During this time, not only the Jiangdong family moved, but also the southern Yamakoshi, which was also restless.

However.

Such a situation strengthened Sun Deng's determination to attach himself to Wei.

Now it is not attached to the Han State, the influence of the Han prince Liu Chan in Jiangdong is so great, if Jiangdong is attached to the Han State later, is this Jiangdong surnamed Sun or surnamed Liu?

I don't know!

"No!"

Sun Deng's eyes were sharp, and he immediately said: "Attached to the Wei State, this national policy is also!" From today onwards, it is necessary to cut off the Han State's military division in Jiangdong! ”

"Your Highness."

Gu Tan and Zhang Xiu wanted to speak out to admonish, but Sun Deng waved his hand and said: "I have made up my mind, I am attached to the Wei State, the business alliance is broken, and the domestic chaos is just a short-term pain. ”

Bitter big guy?

Everyone looked at each other, and their faces were complicated.

It's easy to share wealth and prosperity, but to share hardship?

It's difficult~

The situation in Jiangdong has gradually become turbulent, and in Chengdu, the early preparations for the westward expedition to Badi have also been completed.

Even the vanguard army was sent over.

The pioneer is Zhang Bao, the deputy general is Wang Ping, and the military division is Ma Yan.

Of these three people, Zhang Bao is a general, and he has been on many expeditions with Liu Chan, and he is already a leader in the second generation.

Since Wang Ping surrendered in the Battle of Hanzhong, he has not been reused, and as a traverser, Liu Chan knows that this Wang Ping is talented, but he has no foundation, so he uses it to reuse.

As for Ma Yan, although it is on paper, it is not to let him lead the army now, but only to let him be a military advisor.

will talk on paper, then often give advice.

When he has been trained on the battlefield, he may not be able to become a good general.

When this vanguard army goes out, it is necessary to first mess up the situation in Badi and make arrangements in advance.

And the next 7,000 people are also about to be ready.

Last night.

Liu Chan was summoned to the palace by Emperor Liu Bei of the Han Dynasty.

Originally, Liu Xuande, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, said that he wanted Liu Chan to stay in Chengdu and choose a general to go to conquer Badi.

However, Liu Chan rejected Liu Bei's suggestion on the grounds that Badi was very important, and Chengdu was guarded by his father.

Now the situation of the Han State seems to be good, but the situation is such a thing, it is changing rapidly, after Cao Pi became the emperor, the Wei State is also on the right track, the Central Plains is rich, and it is much faster than Jingzhou and Yizhou.

There is no way, the Wei country has a thick foundation, and this is inferior to the Han State.

If he is slacking off now, it is a slow step, a slow step, and the current Han Kingdom cannot be delayed for a moment.

After meeting Liu Bei, Liu Chan handed over the matter of supervising the country.

Liu Bei returned to the court.

But

Youfa is dealing with state affairs with Zhuge Liang, and Liu Bei just nodded on major matters.

Another point that has to be mentioned is Liu Bei's body.

Although Hua Tuo and others have conditioned Liu Bei's body, sometimes the body is corrupted, and it cannot be solved by simple conditioning.

According to Hua Tuo's words, the Han Emperor did not have a few years to live.

And Liu Chan wants to take advantage of the few years when Liu Bei is still alive to work hard to develop national strength.

It is hoped that the long-cherished wish of this Han clan will be able to achieve:

Revive the Han Dynasty!

It's just that

It will take a few years to achieve this goal, which is really too difficult. (End of chapter)
