Chapter 1116 My Sun Quan! A fair fight with Zhang Zhao!
Chapter 1,116 I, Sun Quan! I want a fair showdown with Zhang Zhao!
The Wuchang Alliance initially requested that it be a few days later.
In fact, after a lot of delay by Zhuge Liang and others, it was obvious that it was not done.
The reason is of course not just that simple.
It happened that Cao Ren suddenly put pressure on him at this time, which made Jiang Xia's officials tired of dealing with it. Speaking of Guan Yu's lack of manpower and material resources, he had been in a stalemate with Cao Ren for more than half a year, which was actually quite powerful.
But if Cao Ren can't hold back Cao Ren's troops and horses, Guan Yu can't afford to fight a protracted war.
Cao Ren somehow exerted pressure, and as a result, Liu Bei was really unable to respond in time.
In addition to dealing with official documents every day, Zhang Zhao spent the rest of his time waiting dryly for Liu Bei to reply to him.
He couldn't go to Jingnan in person to talk to Liu Bei and others, right?
The civil strife in Jiangdong is so serious now, and there are a lot of moles around him. If even Zhang Zhao himself leaves, Lu Xun will definitely take advantage of it and destroy the situation that Zhang Zhao finally stabilized as long as he is not stupid.
.
The battle between strong and weak is often like this. The strong side always hopes to use its advantages to steadily cannibalize the weak side.
The weaker party, on the other hand, hopes that the situation will cause unexpected chaos so that they can fish in troubled waters.
At this moment, the situation in Jiangdong is developing in a direction that is extremely better than that of Lu Xun.
How could Zhang Zhao bear this?
Nabu sat obediently in Jianye and kept an eye on the movements of all parties.
The result of this is that as long as Liu Bei wants to delay, he will definitely be able to delay.
In essence, Liu Bei couldn't afford to take it off, because according to Pang Tong's analysis, if it takes longer, Cao Cao will definitely enter the scene. By that time, they will not be able to take advantage of it if they want to.
So what follows is still a battle of endurance.
finally…
Zhang Zhao still couldn't hold on anymore.
Jiangdong is in chaos.
As mentioned earlier, there is a big problem in the Wuhui area.
——
As the economic center of Jiangdong for decades, Wujun and Kuaiji are not what they used to be.
In fact, in just half a year, Wuhui and Wuhui, which were once prosperous and prosperous, had a faint tendency to develop into the chaos in Hanzhong.
The reasons for this - or the culprits - may be difficult for most people to imagine.
That is Sun Quan.
At this moment, Sun Quan is doing something called public speaking.
——
"Folks and colleagues! Are you willing to always be oppressed by the nobles at will?"
"Don't you see that Zhang Zhao and the others are taking advantage of their power to easily manipulate the price of salt and increase taxes arbitrarily - rice that once only sold for three yuan a catty is now under their pressure.
It’s already gone up to fifty yuan a pound!”
"Is this kind of life what you want?"
Standing on the high platform, Sun Quan found it hard to imagine that just half a month ago, he looked like he was drinking to drown his sorrows.
In just half a month, Sun Quan has transformed from a confused drunkard into an impassioned speaker.
In the past three days, he built several high platforms in Wujun City, and through Lu Xun and others posting notices, or simply by word of mouth, he gathered nearly 70% of the civilians in Wujun City.
The crowds of ordinary people took the "leaflets" sent door to door by Lu Xun's people, and squeezed forward, just to listen to Sun Quan on the stage speak for them.
"Not what we want!"
"We want the old days!"
"I don't care about the Zhang Zhaoshi clan, as long as I can have a full stomach!"
"That's right! We just need to fill our stomachs! Now our family has not had rice for many days, and we can only eat corn, wheat and wild vegetables to satisfy our hunger. If this continues, we really can't survive!!"
Today, Sun Quan is dressed very simply, but he is wearing a very eye-catching red shoulder strap with several very obvious big characters written on it - I am Sun Quan.
And because we know that many people are illiterate, there are many so-called "entrustees" in the audience who are constantly giving unknown information to the people who are just here to join in the fun. Who is the person on the stage and what is he talking about?
This kind of effect cannot be said to be very good, it can only be said that the effect is absolutely amazing.
Humans are social animals, and the so-called mob actually vividly describes the behavior of most people.
As long as someone incites it, the masses will easily take action in the direction of the incitement.
And emotions will naturally be mobilized.
At this moment, people became united in hatred due to Sun Quan's impassioned preaching. Curses and denunciations were heard endlessly. Unconsciously, the spearheads in people's hearts were pointed at Zhang Zhao and others for their inaction.
But Sun Quan hasn’t finished speaking yet:
"Very good! I heard you shouting from the bottom of your heart! This is very good!"
Someone was beside Sun Quan, holding a large trumpet-shaped wooden barrel for him. His voice was transmitted through the barrel in as far a direction as possible.
Seeing everyone's excitement, Sun Quan wiped the sweat from his forehead tiredly, raised his arms high, and attracted everyone's attention again with a few words.
"You may not know yet! The people of Poyang have already risen up to fight back because of Zhang Zhao's oppression!"
"Not long ago, Zhang Zhao and others have already lined up a considerable number of troops to go to Poyang to suppress it - as for the result, you can imagine it."
"I! Sun Quan! inherited the position of the general who conquered the captives from my father and brother, and now I am alone!"
"The reason why I am still standing here is to tell you clearly! Dao Ming!"
"Everyone! Don't be impulsive! Once you are impulsive, you may become the target of the military!"
When he said this, the crowd couldn't help but commotion.
Sun Quan, who was standing on the high platform, looked around and saw that beneath him was a dense crowd of people. The city's east-west main roads and north-south main roads were all packed at the moment.
Moreover, because of such congestion, more people are rushing here.
As for why no one came to suppress and stop such things?
Then we have to ask what the current governor Yu Fan thought after Zhu Ran resigned as the governor of Wu County.
Oh, it turns out that Mr. Yu Fan happened to go out to report, so that’s okay.
This timing is really ingenious.
The soldiers and horses left in Wujun City are now like headless flies, no one dares to take the initiative to come forward.
Not to mention, a group of young generals who follow Lu Xun Quanrou and others are working together and using all kinds of excuses, not intending to give the wealthy family any chance of stopping this gathering.
Therefore, this was a speech that had been planned for a long time.
Sun Quan, who has returned to the center of people's attention, has long lost the reserve and pride he once had, but now he is more confident than before.
"So! I! Sun Quan! Hereby propose a plan! I want to have a fair! duel with Zhang Zhao!"
"I, Sun Quan, promise you all! After regaining my position as the Lord of Jiangdong, I will make drastic changes in internal affairs and finance! I will ensure that you have enough food and clothing to live in! I will also ensure the stability of salt prices! To prevent the current situation from happening here.
!”
As soon as Sun Quan said these words, his purpose was finally exposed to everyone.
