Three Kingdoms: Hegemony System

Chapter 33



Jiangdong, Wu County.

After a few days of turbulent land and water, Lu Su had returned to Jiangdong and was sitting in a carriage, quickly entering the city from the north gate.

Soon, the carriage arrived at Sun Quan's mansion, and Lu Su walked straight in, and under the leadership of the chamberlain, he quickly came to a study.

Inside the study, Sun Quan was reading with a bamboo slip, and when he heard the footsteps outside, he immediately raised his head.

Seeing that it was Lu Su, Sun Quan's eyes lit up and asked, "Zijing is finally back, sit down first, how are things going?"

Lu Su sat down in front of Sun Quan, and then said with a wry smile: "Liu Jue accepted the jewelry and beauties, agreed to make peace with us, and also agreed to release Gongjin's mother and son, but he still has one condition. "

Sun Quan looked at Lu Su's expression, and couldn't help frowning: "Liu Jue is too greedy, since he has accepted the jewelry beauty, he still wants to put forward conditions?

Lu Su sighed and said, "Liu Jue wants us to give him 100,000 stone of grain and a hundred skilled blacksmiths. "

After hearing this, Sun Quan's blue eyes seemed to be about to breathe fire, and he slapped the table and roared: "100,000 stone grain! Why didn't Liu Jue go and grab it? Do you really think I'm afraid of him?"

Lu Su hurriedly said, "Don't be angry first, lord. "

Sun Quan roared and said, "How can I not be angry? Liu Jue saw that my Jiangdong Mountain was rioting and had no time to take care of anything else, so he opened his mouth with a lion, this is simply taking advantage of the fire to rob!"

Lu Su smiled bitterly and said: "Lord, who doesn't know that Liu Jue is taking advantage of the fire to rob, but for the sake of the overall situation, please think twice!"

Hearing the words 'overall situation,' Sun Quan calmed down a little, and then asked: "Is there no room for maneuver in this condition? For example, can the quantity of grain be less?"

Lu Su sighed and said: "Liu Jue's attitude is very resolute, and when I left, he deliberately said in front of me that he was going to Yuzhang to hunt and play. "

Sun Quan's lungs are about to explode, what kind of bullshit hunting and playing, this is obviously threatening him, if he doesn't agree to this request, I'm afraid Liu Jue will come to Nanchang.

Maybe Liu Jue just said it casually, but who knows that this won't be true.

Sun Quan gritted his teeth and said: "He likes to go hunting in Yuzhang, then let him go, it's better to let the beast eat him, I won't give him a grain of this grain." "

Lu Su smiled bitterly and said: "The lord should not be rash, now the mountains are getting more and more fierce, if Liu Jue really goes south to attack Yuzhang, it will not be a good thing for us." "

Sun Quan's face turned pale, and after a moment of silence, he opened his mouth and asked, "If Liu Jue really attacks Yuzhang, how many troops can we divide to resist?"

Lu Su said: "At most, there are only fifteen thousand, even if we can resist it, it will affect our pacification of Shanyue." "

Sun Quan took a deep breath, his heart was very unwilling.

Although Jiangdong's grain storage is not as large as Jingzhou's, it is as much as 670,000 stones, and Pingding Shanyue consumes 200,000 at most, and taking out 100,000 stones of grain to Liu Jue will not have any impact at all.

But Sun Quan just felt unwilling, and the food he had worked so hard to grow was given to others for nothing, and he couldn't swallow this breath anyway.

If it weren't for the chaos in the mountains at this time, how could I ask that Liu Jue for peace?

Sun Quan clenched his fists tightly and said expressionlessly: "Agree to Liu Jue's conditions, 100,000 stone grain, and 100 blacksmiths." "

"Zijing knows, I'll go to Jingzhou again right away. Lu Su smiled bitterly again.

"In addition, send an order to the generals of all parties, for the Shanyue who made a rebellion this time, there is no need for his subordinates to show mercy, I will kill them so that they will never dare to riot again!" Sun Quan said with a roar, his blue eyes bloodshot.

Lu Su was stunned for a moment, and then sighed, knowing that this time I was afraid that my head would be rolling and blood would flow.

......

Liu Jue recruited Zhuge Liang, Pang Tong, as well as Meng Jian, Shi Tao and other talents, and he was originally happy in his heart.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Liu Jue received news from Liu Biao that the Son of Heaven had sent an envoy to Jingzhou and would reach Xiangyang tomorrow.

"Messenger of the Son of Heaven?" Liu Jue muttered these four words, and began to think about it in his mind.

Now Cao Cao is coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, the so-called Son of Heaven is just a puppet with no real power, so this messenger of the Son of Heaven, in other words, is Cao Cao's messenger.

"What is the purpose of Cao Cao sending an envoy to Xiangyang for no reason?" Liu Jue now looks at things and has learned to take one step at a time and look at ten steps, not just look at things on the surface.

Cao Cao suddenly sent an envoy to arrive, and there must have been a plan for him.

Now Cao Cao has just pacified the high-ranking cadres of the annexed states, and only the remnants of the Yuan clan are left in the north, as well as Wuhuan who has a good relationship with the Yuan clan.

According to the trend of history, Cao Cao will first pack up the two Yuan clans and Wuhuan before preparing to go south to Jingzhou.

Cao Cao didn't want to do something to Jingzhou at this time, right?

Liu Jue felt that it was not possible, but he really couldn't guess it, so he could only discuss it with Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong.

After Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong heard this, they both fell into a deep thought.

After a while, Zhuge Liang took the lead in speaking: "Young General, Cao Cao sent an envoy over this time, not necessarily for Jingzhou. "

After getting along for a period of time, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong both called Liu Jue a major general.

"It's not for Jingzhou, then for what?" Liu Jue frowned, in his opinion, isn't it these few pieces of land in Jingzhou that can make Cao Cao worry about the south of the Yangtze River?

"Maybe it's for someone. At this time, Pang Tong spoke.

"For someone?".

Liu Jue's heart moved when he heard this, could it be for Xiao Qiao, he had already heard that Cao Cao was good at this, but he knew that he had caught Xiao Qiao, so he sent a messenger to ask for someone.

That's too shameful, isn't it?!

"Is this person you are talking about Xiao Qiao?" Liu Jue said.

When Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong heard this, they couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

Pang Tong shook his head and said, "Young General, Cao Cao's purpose in sending the envoy this time may be for Liu Jingzhou, or it may be because of you. "

"Me?".

Liu Jue was a little surprised, and couldn't help but say: "Why did Cao Cao send a messenger to find me, could it be that he looked at me as a talent and wanted me to be his son-in-law." "

He remembered several of Cao Cao's sons, but as for his daughter, it seems that one of them was married to Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, and the rest are not very clear.

"Of course not!" Zhuge Liang shook his head and smiled, and said: "Young General, you defeated Zhou Yu, led tens of thousands of troops, and became famous, Cao Cao probably noticed you." "

"You mean, Cao Cao wants to deal with me?" Liu Jue touched his chin and understood in his heart.

It is estimated that the news of his defeat of Zhou Yu reached Cao Cao, and Cao Cao felt that with his own presence, he would cause him some trouble when he went south in the future, so he thought about dealing with himself.

To be honest, Liu Jue felt quite happy in his heart, and being able to be feared by Cao Cao showed that he was still very capable.

Liu Jue continued: "However, even if Cao Cao wants to deal with me, it is impossible to do it in Jingzhou. "

Pang Tong said: "Then it depends on how the holy decree is written, let people write one thing casually, if it is difficult for the young general to do it, that is, to disobey the order of the Son of Heaven, Cao Cao will have an excuse to send troops to fight." "

Liu Jue also came to his senses, and couldn't help but sigh and said: "Sometimes I really envy Cao Cao, coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and bully whoever he wants." "
