When Sun Quan was not Sun Shiwan, he actually didn’t have much money in his hands.
A group of poor people.
When buying floral pants, you have to weigh them carefully.
After all, the big money at that time was in the hands of his father and his brother. His father and his brother liked to spend most of their money on the military. If it was some small daily personal expenses, it would be easy to approve, but like
Sun Quan sometimes wants to buy extra floral clothes to show off, or find a few fans to have a drink, etc. Basically, it is difficult to get support.
When Sun Ce was still alive, Sun Quan already had a lot of expenses. Even if Sun Ce approved some money for him, it was still not enough. Sun Quan was embarrassed to ask Sun Ce for money. After all, he was afraid of being scolded by Sun Ce. If Sun Ce
Even after being beaten, there was no place to cry, let alone to make up for one's fault, and Mrs. Wu couldn't hold her in her lap...
But the smell of money is the kind of pungent and bitter that can spread from the nose to the forehead, and then directly penetrate into the heart, so Sun Quan couldn't bear it for a few days. When he had no choice but to lose face, he asked Lu Fan.
Lu Fan was Sun Ce's finance minister at the time, and was transferred to be in charge of money and food. Every time Sun Quan asked Lu Fan for money, Lu Fan turned around and told Sun Ce, and then Sun Ce went to Sun Quan's side, making Sun Quan jump away in anger.
, was very resentful and vowed to take care of Lu Fan in the future.
Later, Sun Ce felt that this was not the way to go, so he asked Sun Quan to become a county magistrate. On the one hand, he wanted Sun Quan to know something about people's livelihood management, and on the other hand, he also hinted to Sun Quan that this county was Sun Quan's pocket money.
Don’t come to me for money from now on...
Of course, this county was the only place that could be praised before Sun Quan came to power.
But a county in Jiangdong was far from as wealthy as later generations.
In the counties in Jiangdong in the Han Dynasty, apart from the convenience of eating salted fish, there were no other special benefits. Therefore, the serious salary was not enough for Sun Quan's expenses. Sun Quan could only find a way to mix his personal expenses into the public account for reimbursement.
.
After doing this too much, someone naturally found out about it. Sun Ce was very angry and asked people to check the accounts. Sun Quan was so panicked that he almost peed on his flower clothes. At that time, there was a meritorious official in the county named Zhou Gu, who was not in charge of this.
However, seeing Sun Quan in a panic, he took action to make false accounts for Sun Quan, smoothing things over and preventing Sun Quan from being punished.
Sun Quan was very grateful to Zhou Gu at that time. His free words of gratitude were like a torrential river, saying that he would repay Zhou Gu well in the future...
After Sun Quan really ascends to the position of Lord of Jiangdong, it seems that he should fulfill his promise, right? Sun Quan believes that Lu Fan is loyal to his duties and can be trusted. As for Zhou Gu, he forged documents and made false accounts and should be dismissed from his position!
Well, this is the "repay" of Sun Shiwan's model.
Of course, from another perspective, for Sun Quan, the imprint of money has been deeply engraved in his soul since he was a child, and now, when Sun Quan wants to give away all these cute little coins,
, even if you know this is part of the transaction, you can't avoid the pain.
"Lord..."
Someone whispered outside the cabin.
"Come in!" Sun Quan responded in a deep voice, and then looked at the confidant guards entering the warehouse, "Is he leaving?"
The confidant guard nodded and said, "Then these "goods"..."
"Send someone to Jiangdong immediately!" Sun Quan said without thinking.
The confidant guard responded, but did not turn around and go out immediately.
Sun Quan frowned slightly and looked up.
The confidant guard whispered: "Over there with General Zhou..."
"Hmph..." Sun Quan frowned.
This batch of goods is a living thing, so it takes up a lot of space, and because it is the first transaction, the trust of both parties is not high, so Sun Quan must come in person. This can be regarded as a preliminary docking and confirmation, and the subsequent
Transactions don’t have to be so troublesome.
Jiangdong is short of men, and even more war horses.
Secondly, there is a lack of iron, weapons, etc.
And these things, just like Fei Qian blocked trade and prohibited the sale of some things to outsiders, it was very difficult for Sun Quan to purchase normally within Cao Cao's territory. He could only go through some underground and abnormal trading channels, and
This channel can be very important and even affect many aspects of Jiangdong. If Sun Quan cannot control it personally, it will definitely be controlled by others!
Therefore, this time, Sun Quan had to go no matter what.
From this perspective, the hostile relationship is temporary, while the exchange of interests is permanent.
Who has a grudge against money?
For Sun Quan, being able to obtain scarce war horses, population, weapons, iron tools, etc. means that he does not have to be choked by those damn Jiangdong nobles in Jiangdong! It means that he has more say and more power!
Bigger voice! Bigger pipe! More this and that, I understand everything!
For the local officials of Cao Cao who secretly traded with Sun Quan, first of all, they could get a lot of income, and secondly, they could ensure that their territory would not be attacked by Jiangdong's army, and there would be no threat of losing their land...
A win-win situation!
As for those people who are losing money, shouldn’t it be enough that neither party in the transaction loses money?
But after the transaction, there is the issue of transportation. There are no labels on these goods. Even if they are labeled, it is useless. Whoever gets it belongs to whoever gets it!
Everything is according to plan!
Perfect! It couldn’t be more perfect!
If there was good wine now, Sun Quan would want to raise the glass high and drink a few glasses to reward himself.
The only thing that is not perfect is Zhou Tai...
Zhou Tai is currently in critical condition!
The changes in the battlefield are often overwhelming.
The news that Xu County received was often delayed. When Emperor Liu Xie thought that Xiapi was in danger, in reality on the battlefield in Xiapi, the situation had reversed, and it was Zhou Tai who was in danger.
Although Sun Quan had ordered Zhu Zhi to go to the rescue, Zhu Zhi did not have a boat and could only move forward by land. On the one hand, taking the land route was slow, and on the other hand, it was not as convenient and safe as taking the water route.
Because almost all the ships are now controlled by Sun Quan and are used for trading and transshipment of goods.
To rescue Zhou Tai, the best way is to use ships, and to transport goods, ships are obviously also needed.
Ships are limited and time is limited.
Now that the transaction is completed, whether to transport the goods first or to transport the soldiers to the rescue first has become the choice faced by Sun Quan.
Rescuing Zhou Tai is naturally very important...
But is it important that Zhou Tai has these goods?
These ships loaded with cargo must leave the battlefield immediately. Only when they arrive safely and securely in the hands of the Jiangdong Sun family can they be said to be completely foolproof!
What's more, this transaction is secret. Sun Quan does not want it to be a one-time transaction, so it is impossible to keep the goods in Jiangbei for a long time. Otherwise, once the news is leaked, even if Sun Quan wants to keep this transaction channel open,
I'm afraid there will also be many subsequent problems.
Therefore, either try your best to rescue Zhou Tai, or try your best to cover up the transaction channels!
If each side does half of it, or if both sides want it, there may be risks for both sides!
"Zhou Youping..." Sun Quan's face gradually became serious.
Zhou Tai is undoubtedly loyal to Sun Quan. He is like Sun Quan's right and left arm. He is a general promoted by Sun Quan himself. He goes through life and death for Sun Quan.
, for Sun Quan, Zhou Tai would give everything...
"Send the order! Set sail for Jiangdong as soon as possible!" Sun Quan made a decision and emphasized again, "As for Zhou Youping... I believe that Youping will be safe and sound..."
………(⊙＿⊙；)…………
Tan County.
In fact, the biggest advantage of Tan County is not the city wall, but the continuous spring rain before.
After the rain line moved south and left Tan County, Zang Ba's offensive was carried out in waves.
Especially siege equipment soaked by rain. Although it is more difficult to push in the mud, it is also more difficult to be burned. The only way is to smash it hard with wood and rolling stones!
But the problem is that Tan County doesn’t have many reserves of wood and rolling stones...
Zang Ba also became fierce, gritted his teeth and drove the people captured from the surrounding areas as pioneers, and kept urging these people to move forward. Regardless of men, women, young or old, under the coercion of the soldiers, they cried to the sky
Shouting forward and stumbling forward, like a group of bleating sheep heading to the slaughterhouse.
Don’t you know that going forward is a dead end?
Could it be that if you don’t know that if you continue walking, you will probably end up like those corpses on the side, without a burial place?
No, these common people all know.
Some people may think that as long as someone raises their arms and shouts, others will follow, but in fact, even if someone is willing to jump out and lead the resistance, it is of no use. Because as long as you see the blank and numb eyes of these people
, you will understand that the situation is different from what the keyboard warrior imagined.
These people have been screened out again and again in the obedience test mode...
At the beginning, these people were not made to feel that they would die in the next moment.
Everyone is afraid of death, but no one is willing to face death directly!
Just like later companies use obedience tests to select employees with high obedience. At the beginning, employees will not be asked to kneel, kowtow, slap each other in the mouth, crawl on the street with a dog leash, and finally die suddenly on the job. Instead, they will start from jumping.
It's a group dance, starting from turning off the phone to handing it over, and finally to disclosing private information on the phone, or doing obscene things in the name of breaking the ice, etc.
Among all the people that Zang Ba is currently driving away, it is also not clear from the beginning that he wants these people to die...
Among the people who had just been asked to leave their homes, those who resisted were killed. The remaining people felt uncomfortable leaving their homes, but they were still alive and would not die...
Then they further asked to be tied up in a row, and were made into a collective like cattle and sheep. There must be a part that resisted, and then they were also killed. The remaining people felt that although it was a bit painful to be shackled with ropes, they could still live.
He won't die yet...
Then he made further demands and asked these people to dig soil, make equipment and other heavy work, and then the part that resisted was killed. The rest felt that although the work was very tiring and hard, they could still get some food and drink after the work was done.
, I can still survive, I can still live, I won’t die yet...
Then a small number of them were asked to die and randomly selected. There must be some people with foresight who felt that the next big thing would not be easy. Then they were killed again in the blank and numb eyes of others. The rest just watched and thought that they should die.
There are only a few of them, and I can still be alive...
By the time most of them asked to die, all those with the ability to resist and the spirit of resistance had basically been eliminated in the previous screening process. At this time, not to mention one keyboard warrior who jumped out, there were tens of hundreds.
It's no use raising your arms and shouting as a keyboard warrior!
Because these remaining people are all obedient and do not know what it means to resist.
Only when a new group of troops rush in, defeat Zang Ba and Cao Jun, and let these people see the blood of the original rulers flowing out with their own eyes, maybe something can be changed...
As for now, the corpses have filled the trenches and covered the city walls, and the bleating two-legged sheep moved forward in tears.
Howling, knowing that it was a dead end, but no sheep dared to look back and resist.
The defenders on the top of the city threw down everything they could throw without any mercy, shot out a few arrows, and poured down large buckets of boiling water!
These people, who had no cover and no armor at all, could only resist with physical force!
They fell down layer by layer, dying piece by piece, just like rotten cabbage in winter, being peeled off piece by piece, from strong to decay, from a large number to a handful, and finally
disappear……
Then came another group of new two-legged sheep, stepping on the footsteps of the times and bleating into the scene.
Everyone needs these people, but when there is a problem, no one needs them.
Strictly speaking, only the Han Dynasty and Emperor Liu Xie needed and cared about these people the most, because no matter where the sheep were, whether they were in the East China Sea or Xiapi, as long as they were in the territory of the Han Dynasty, they were owned by Emperor Liu Xie.
Those that are valued, those that are needed, those that need to be protected, because no matter where the people are, they can all increase taxes for the Han Dynasty, year after year, generation after generation.
But the problem is that Emperor Liu Xie's hands are too short and he can't reach them! He can't even guarantee that he can protect his own butt, so how can he protect the people of Donghai County?
The second-level protector of these people in the East China Sea should be Chang Xi. But what did Chang Xi do after taking office? He was unambiguous when eating and drinking. When Zang Ba Cao Cao invaded, he was at a loss. Killing these people who were supposed to be
The people he was protecting never showed any signs of mercy.
The people who are supposed to be protectors no longer protect the people. How can we still expect the invaders to show some shining points of humanity? And then show mercy?
As for Cao Cao, who seems to be extremely vicious at the moment, from a business perspective, the CEO of Taishan Group Donghai Branch, Chang Xichang, was not doing well, and then the Cao Group launched a merger war. During the merger war, Chang Xichang mismanaged his command and was defeated.
The company is about to collapse, and tens of thousands of employees are about to lose their jobs and cut off their income...
So Boss Cao should first be responsible for the survival of all the tens of thousands of employees under Boss Haochang, and then go for the merger?
Now it is only in the Han Dynasty that there is still a small part of the slave system in the Han Dynasty.
Therefore, without a protector, the people of the East China Sea were gathered together, surrounded by a forest of spears, crying and waiting. It was their turn to set off in the next wave to replenish the flesh and blood slaughterhouse.
Thousands of people in Donghai County have become human shields that consume the Tan County defenders with rolling logs, rocks, arrows and boiling water!
On top of the mound, Cao Cao and a large group of Cao Jun soldiers just looked at everything in front of them with expressionless faces.
If Zang Ba was a ruler who obeyed the test for the people of the East China Sea, then Cao Cao was the ruler who obeyed the test for the Taishan Army and Zang Ba and others.
Although the walls of Tan County seemed to be covered with blood and minced meat, in Cao Cao's heart, there was still no disturbance, he was just calculating how many people were left and how much time was needed.
Besides, although the scene in front of me is cruel, compared with the previous migration of Luoyang and the chaotic fighting in Yanzhou, Yuzhou and Jizhou, what does it mean?
This small town in Tan County will be filled in soon!
Cao Cao pointed with his riding crop, looked around, and said with a smile: "You will know today that the Taishan Army and Zang Chang's battle can be divided into superior and inferior forces!"
Among the cries and howls that filled the sky, Cao Cao's laughter was not loud. Only the generals around him heard it, and the rest was just a blur. But when they saw Cao Cao laughing, everyone also started to laugh.
They laughed together. For Cao Jun and the others, whoever loses or wins between Zang Ba and Chang Xi is actually pretty much the same. It would be best if they both suffer losses and die.
Cao Cao also knew Zang Ba's original intention of procrastinating. The reason why he didn't point it out was because it was unnecessary. Now that Zang Ba is willing to end it all as soon as possible, he should end it as soon as possible. Anyway, Cao Cao feels a little tired of staying in this place.
, the key point is that Cao Jun’s soldiers have always just watched Taishan’s army divided into two parts, fighting each other. There is neither any meritorious achievements to speak of nor anything to sing or cry about. It really makes Cao Jun’s soldiers unmotivated.
At the same time, Cao Cao also received news that Sun Quan had arrived in Guangling. Calculating the time, he should be approaching Xiapi now. So if this place is not solved as soon as possible, then Xiapi will definitely be threatened by Jiangdong's army!
To be honest, Cao Cao didn't care if Chen and Jiangdong's army had a bloody fight, or if both sides really fought so hard that both sides lost their pants, and it would have been better if Kibu was bleeding with live ammunition, but if Chen
Seeing that the momentum was wrong, Shi turned around...
uh-huh!
That would not be fun, so Tan County must be captured as soon as possible, so that Cao Cao can advance and retreat freely, flexibly assume various postures, and choose the most appropriate time to advance!
"Dian Aiqing!"
"I'm here!"
Cao Cao pointed at Tan County with his riding whip, "If Dian Ai Qing leads three hundred Black Tiger Guards and hides himself among the people...can he attack the city in one fell swoop?"
Cao Cao felt that the heat was almost up and the meat was almost cooked. If he waited any longer, the meat might be burnt or someone might chew it first, so he decided to take action himself.
"Within three drums, you will definitely be able to board first!" Dian Wei said unequivocally.
Cao Cao immediately decided to send troops to cover Dian Wei and pretend to attack the northeast corner of Tan County!
When Boss Cao moves the flag, it is simply earth-shattering. Even though he knows that there may be a problem, most people's eyes will still be attracted, just like hitting someone with a ball. He knows that he should be staring at the person, but his eyes
I can't help but follow the movement of the ball...
After all, everyone in Tan County is exhausted now. All the soldiers fighting and working are mechanical and almost relying on instinct to persist. When attracted by such a big ball as Cao Cao, even ordinary wise men,
You may not be able to immediately think of the words "sound in the east and attack in the west", and even if you think of the wild boar Chang Xi, you may not be able to prevent it.
So after Cao Cao squeezed Zang Ba away and showed off his beautiful bicep lines under the city not long after he came on the court, Dian Wei led his men to seize the opportunity and rushed to the northwest corner of Tan County, and then in one fell swoop
Climb the city!
Chang Xi tried to lead the remaining guards to expel Dian Wei, but he was Dian Wei's opponent. The pig attack may have some effect on ordinary generals, but Dian Wei's force value can defeat the tiger alone, so Chang Xi's wild boar
The head soon fell into Dian Wei's hands.
Dian Wei, who looked like a black tower, raised Chang Xi's head high, and after shouting out that classic sentence, everything seemed boring...
