Chapter 69: Gauntlet(1/3)

"But you are a daughter after all. If you let your mother see it, you will have to say me again." Sun Quan felt a little headache by holding his forehead.

No one makes him worry-free.

"What's wrong with my daughter's health? My martial arts are not inferior to General Ling."

"If you don't believe me, please let Ling Tong come and compete with me?" Sun Shangxiang said, looking at Ling Tong who was standing not far away.

The latter's face turned red and he waved his hands repeatedly.

Sun Quan shook his head: "That's Ling Tong giving in to you, just like you, whatever you like, you go out first, I want to be alone 0     ..."

"snort."

Sun Shangxiang stamped her feet, "Second brother, the money and food you promised to allocate to me have not seen yet."

"And I want to expand the female soldiers, why did you let Zhang Zhao reject me?"

Sun Quan immediately begged for mercy: "I'll let him give it to you, right?"

"In addition, Zhang Zhao is my teacher, how can you call him by his name?"

Sun Quan said a little angry.

"I understand, am I not in front of you? In front of him, I always call you sir."

Sun Shangxiang waved his long whip, "That second brother, I'll leave first."

"Go." Sun Quan waved his hand.

Only after Sun Shangxiang left did Sun Quan rub his eyebrows uncomfortable.

Ling Tong walked over and his eyes were following Sun Shangxiang before he looked back and looked at Sun Quan and said, "Lord, is the lady 18 years old? It's time to get married."

"If you find a good man to marry, your temperament should be more restrained."

Ling Tong said.

"I have mentioned it to my mother and younger sister many times, but unfortunately my mother cherishes her younger sister and refuses it to me again and again."

"I'll talk to my mother after I return to Wujun this time."

Sun Quan nodded and said.

Ling Tong opened his mouth and was about to say something, when a servant suddenly walked in outside the door and knelt on one knee and said, "Lord, someone is coming to Cao's camp."

Um?

The battle between the two armies ended, and there was no difference between the winner and the loss.

Cao Cao sent someone to Jiangdong at this time, what was he meant?

"Master, I remembered something."

Ling Tong said, "Yesterday I received a letter from Jingzhou, saying that Cao Cao was training navy and infantry along the Yangtze River, with a huge momentum. Judging from his momentum, there were at least 100,000 people."

"The lord was in a coma at that time, and I didn't have time to report it."

"Later, when the lord woke up, he went to see the Grand Governor, and the last general did not find a chance."

"Please punish the lord!"

Ling Tong knelt down in a hurry and said.

"You are not guilty, I am lazy in government affairs, get up." Sun Quan pulled Ling Tong up and said seriously, "You don't need to do this in the future, such a small matter."

"You are the closest person to me. Even if I make some mistakes, how can I bear to blame you?"

Ling Tong was immediately moved and his eyes were red: "Thank you for your trust, Tong will be heartbroken to repay him."

"Okay, let's not talk about this." Sun Quan patted Ling Tong on the shoulder.

Ling Tong immediately stepped aside.

Then Sun Quan looked at the attendant and asked, "Do you know who is coming from Cao's camp?"

The attendant clasped his fists and said, "You are the lord, who claims to be a counselor of the Prime Minister's Office, Chen Qun."

What!

Sun Quan was shocked!

Who is Chen Qun?

Putting aside the position of consultant of the Prime Minister's Office, just talking about his identity, he was also the contemporary ruler of the Chen family, and he was also the grandson of the great scholar and famous scholar Chen Da.

Famous all over the world.

Cao Cao actually sent this person to Jiangdong? Are you not afraid that he would detain Chen Qun, so just use him to exchange for Lu Su?

But this thought just flashed.

What a joke? The Chen family is a famous contemporary master, so he dare not commit crimes casually. Besides, Chen Qun came as an envoy and was not captured during the war. If he really dared to detain Chen Qun, it would probably take a few days before the famous scholars in the world would come out to scold him.

At that time, Jiangdong will lose his heart as a scholar.

The gain is not worth the loss.

So when Chen Qun came, he not only could not be detained, but also had to be well-received to show the style of Jiangdong.

After thinking it through, Sun Quan immediately said: "Take someone to the inn and receive him well."

"I will summon him later today."

Before knowing Chen Qun's purpose, Sun Quan did not dare to summon him at will.

So I plan to summon the ministers tonight after the meeting is over.

"promise!"

The attendant retreated.

At this time, Sun Quan immediately linked Cao Cao's training soldiers in the Yangtze River and Chen Qun's visit to Jiangdong.

"It seems that the person who came is not good."

Sun Quan sighed.

Chen Qun must have some plans when he comes here.

I just don’t know what the hell is?

That night.

Sun Quan recruited all the ministers to discuss matters in the Wuhou Mansion.

All the civil and military officials in Chaisang arrived.

Civil officials and military generals were lined up on both sides, while civil officials were still led by Zhang Zhao, but Zhang Zhao seemed much haggard at this time.

In the past few days, Zhang Zhao has been busy with the aftermath of the Battle of Chibi. He needs to all kinds of logistics, supplies and pensions, and he almost lost his old bones.

So Sun Quan granted Zhang Zhao a seat and allowed Zhang Zhao to sit and discuss matters.

Of course, no one of the other ministers dared to be dissatisfied with this.

In terms of military generals, the Grand Governor Zhou Yu is still headed.

But Zhou Yu's face was much better, with a rosy face and bright eyes, like a tiger that chose people to eat, and this tiger was full of extraordinary wisdom.

Behind Zhou Yu, Cheng Pu, Han Dang, Lu Meng and other generals were all there.

And they are all in good spirits.

Sun Quan, who was sitting in the main seat, naturally knew very well that this was entirely because of Zhou Yu.

My vigilance towards Zhou Yu became deeper and deeper.

"Okay, since you have all arrived, let's talk about your future plans."

Sun Quan glanced at the ministers and said lightly.

"Master!"

Zhang Zhao stood up first, looked at Sun Quan, bowed and replied, "In this battle, our Jiangdong lost most of the navy, and his vitality was severely damaged. He lost countless food, supplies, ships, and money. The old minister had calculated the calculation."

"The losses in this battle require a year or two to recover."

"In the meantime, military expenditures must be reduced, people must be encouraged to farm, and food and grass must be stored."

Zhang Zhao's words pointed at Zhou Yu directly.

Because it is precisely because of Zhou Yu's existence that Jiangdong will diligently recruit soldiers and train navy troops, which will consume a lot of military resources.

"The old man is so bad."

Zhou Yu left the list 03, looked at Zhang Zhao with a serious face: "If there is no benefit from the soldiers, horses, boats, how can I stop Cao Cao in Jiangdong?"

"Besides, if our army had not fought hard to fight to the death in this battle, we might have become prisoners of Cao Cao at this time."

After saying that.

Zhou Yu turned around and looked at Sun Quan and bowed, "Lord, our army's troops and boats are far better than Cao Cao. But this time, there is no victory or defeat. It is because Cao Cao's number of troops is far better than our army. Therefore, I suggest that the army should not be abandoned and the construction of boats should not be neglected."

"Even if there is only one person left in Jiangdong, I, Jiangdong, will have one soldier."
