Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Seeing the embarrassing situation, Quan Cong stepped out of the shift and said in a low voice, "My lord, are you worried that Lantian will continue to move south and encroach on Yangzhou if you give up E County?"

Sun Quan thought to himself that he had finally made a personal rescue, so he nodded in agreement: "As Zi Huang (Quan Cong) said, Lan Tian is too cunning. You saw it on Feiyun during the day. Liu Xuande came to Jiangxia in person to take revenge. , in short, we have to guard against..."

"In fact, there is no need to worry. The terrain of E County is far less dangerous than that of Jiangxia. If Liu Bei really intends to enter Jiangdong, E County is at most a post station on the Yangtze River, but it is convenient for Chaisang's warships to monitor, so abandoning E County may not be harmful." Cong explained.

"Zihuang also agrees to abandon E County..." Sun Quan said to himself.

"Before General Bo Fu passed away, he asked the old minister, everything I did was for you and for Jiangdong, my lord, don't hesitate anymore..." Zhang Zhao moved out of Sun Ce again.

Sun Quan was irritated, turned around and said, "Since you don't object, then it's decided. I'll go to Lantian to deliver the deal in the next day. You all go back and rest. I'm tired..."

"Wei." Everyone left Sun Quan's room one after another with their hands clasped together.

"A bunch of trash." Sun Quan snorted coldly and turned around, only to find that Zhang Zhao was still staying where he was. At this moment, he seemed to be caught cheating, and the uneasy feeling was indescribable.

"Isn't Zibu still resting?" Sun Quan asked pretending to be calm.

Zhang Zhao replied with a smile: "The veteran is getting old and sleeps for a short time at night. I just want to tell my lord, don't misunderstand that the veteran forced the palace. This is actually the best for Jiangdong. Liu Bei repaired, this is the best of both worlds."

"I understand Zibu's hard work, but I'm tired now, you go back to your cabin first." Sun Quan said well, I should thank you for your clever plan, but don't be an eyesore here now.

Zhang Zhao clasped his hands in salute, and added as soon as he opened his legs: "Actually, we can move all the people in E County out before the delivery. It's much easier to move by boat than on foot, and it doesn't hurt to let Lantian occupy an empty city."

Sun Quan's eyes lit up, and he secretly praised the old man for being able to use Lan Tian's tricks to deal with Lan Tian.

Chapter 621 Redemption of prisoners of war by means

Throughout the first month, the wharves in Wujun, Kuaiji, Jianye and other places were busy, and the gold and silver property raised were continuously sent to Chaisang.

After Sun Quan moved away the people of E County, he first exchanged captives with Lantian for [-] million yuan, and the place of exchange between the two parties was changed to the empty city of E County. Lantian did not care about Sun Quan's cleverness, but carried out the prisoner exchange transaction every day as planned.

When Zhou Tai received the captives, he found that there were many soldiers who were not from Lu Meng's group at all. After interrogation, he found out that they were Cao soldiers who surrendered when Guan Yu flooded the Seventh Army.

All the captives were in poor condition, probably weak soldiers deliberately picked out by Lan Tian.

Zhou Tai saw 'the product is wrong', and immediately went to Sun Quan to report: "Master, Lantian used Cao soldiers to pretend to be Jiangdong soldiers, do we have to find him for a replacement?"

Sun Quan thought for a while, then waved his hand and said, "Huh, he won't change Yu Jin, let alone these ordinary soldiers, I think it's better to forget it, as long as they are young and strong, Cao Cao's soldiers are not bad..."

"Cao Jun's cavalry is not bad, but we are mainly navy..." Zhou Tai continued to explain.

Sun Quan frowned and did not answer, Zhang Zhao suddenly took the words, "You Ping, why do you bother with this, whether he is cavalry or navy, do you use Cao Cao's surrendered troops to fight Hefei? It is most appropriate for them to go to Shanyue to suppress the rebellion."

"Uh..." Zhou Tai didn't know how to refute.

Sun Quan nodded in affirmation: "Zibu is right. It would be a good idea to transfer to Pingshan. First separate the Jiangdong soldiers and Cao soldiers, and reorganize them when the time comes."

"Wei." Zhou Tai cupped his fists and left.

"My lord, let's evacuate the people of E County, and Lantian will adulterate the captives. See if the subsequent transaction is..." Zhang Zhao hesitated to speak.

Sun Quan replied in a deep voice: "Yifeng (Zhu Ran) has not been redeemed yet, you should know how the ransom came from this time, no matter what, you must redeem all the generals in the plan, as for those low-level officers and soldiers, it is really impossible Forget it..."

"The old minister also meant the same thing..."

"My lord, Han Zong asks to see you."

Zhang Zhao hadn't finished speaking when the warriors outside the hall came to pass the message.

Sun Quan frowned, thinking why did he come?Shouldn't you be waiting for news from Jianye?

"Pass him in."

"only."

Hushi went out and led Han Zong in. Seeing Sun Quan crying, Han Zong rushed to him, crying, "My lord, my father died tragically. Please make the decision for Zong."

Sun Quan helped Han Zong up with both hands, and said with relief: "The old general sacrificed his life for the country, and I am also deeply grieved, but the enemy is now powerful, so I can only take it slow, you go back to Jianye and wait. Go back and give you an explanation..."

"My father followed General Sun and General Bo Fu, and now he serves for the lord. Although he has a low status, his contribution is no less than that of Lu Meng, right? I listen to the lord, is he planning to protect this traitor?" Han Zong heard Startled, with two tear troughs left on his face, an expression of disbelief appeared.

Han Zong's words were like thunder on the ground, and Sun Quan was so shocked that he couldn't speak. Zhang Zhao at the side pulled him and asked seriously, "What did you just say? How can you just call the governor by his name?"

"Lu Meng is my father's enemy, should I still be respectful to him?" Han Zong's eyes were bloodshot.

"Where did this come from?" Sun Quan was dumbfounded by Han Zong's words.

"Yigong (Han Dang) was killed in the attack on Jiangling, why do you say that he was killed by the governor?" Zhang Zhao asked back.

Han Zong was even more surprised when Zhang Zhao said this, "Mr. Zibu also wants to cover up Lu Meng? This matter has spread all over Jianye. ?”

Sun Quan slammed the table and scolded angrily: "What is Ziheng (Lu Fan) doing? The rumors just died down, how long did it take for this to spread?"

"During this period of time, cargo ships have been going back and forth between Jianye and Chaisang frequently. It may be that the boatmen and sailors are gossiping. Jianye's current situation is very complicated, and Ziheng is actually doing things with all his heart." Zhang Zhao stood up and spoke well for Lu Fan.

Sun Quan looked at Han Zong and replied solemnly: "The old general was indeed killed in battle. Don't be influenced by rumors. Many soldiers and soldiers in the army witnessed it with their own eyes. I will find some witnesses for you to confront." Sun Quan said very seriously and left Go to the door and call a group of civil and military officials to meet.

As the transaction of buying captives came to an end, most of the generals except Zhu Ran had returned to Chaisang.

During this period of time, the prisoners of war were arranged by Sun Quan to rest in another courtyard because they were ashamed to see others. After all the transactions were completed, everyone was called together to encourage and encourage them. However, because of Han Zong's unexpected arrival, Sun Quan could only advance this plan. .

Half an hour later, three or forty people stood in the front hall of Chaisang Taishou's mansion.

"Gu Supervisor, the death of General Han has been widely spread. You were in the military governor of the capital at that time. Tell everyone what you know. After today, I don't want to hear other voices." Sun Quan stared at Han Zong. One look, it means that after today's final decision, you kid should stop making trouble.

Gu Li was captured because of defeat, walked out of the crowd with some embarrassment, he cupped his hands to salute Sun Quan, and then replied face to face: "When the old general died in battle, although I didn't see it personally, I asked many people in the camp to check, the fact is that Beheaded by Lan Ji's array."

"Since you have found out the reason, why are there still such ridiculous rumors?" Sun Quan asked with a frown.

Gu Li swallowed his saliva: "At that time, Jiangling was about to break the city, and the governor was worried that the old general's death would disturb the morale of the army, so he buried him in the barracks. As a result, Fu Shiren fell into some kind of madness, and spread rumors that the old general was for the sake of the army. The governor killed by mistake, and drew his sword to attack the governor, and the governor was also injured in this incident."

"He was the one who got in the way, what about Fu Shiren?" Sun Quan's face was gloomy.

"It has been killed by the guards of the governor..." Gu Li replied.

Zhou Tai muttered in a low voice: "You despicable villain, a good death."

Sun Quan nodded, turned to Han Zong and said, "Did you hear everything clearly? The instigator of this incident was the surrendered general Fu Shiren. I don't know why he did this, but this is the end of this matter, don't make any more random guesses... "

"My lord, Gu Jianjun, who is Lan Ji? How could my father beheaded by unknown soldiers?" Han Zong asked.

Sun Quan stroked his purple beard and said to himself, "Why does he have the same name as Xuan Ou's second son?"

Gu Li clasped his fists and replied: "After checking with the officers and men present, Lan Ji indeed claimed to be the son of Lan Tian, ​​and his red horse holding a painted halberd was very powerful."

"That kid Lan Ji is only 12 years old, how could he kill Old General Han?" Sun Quan also raised a question.

"The soldiers once heard old general Han call 'Lu Bu' before the battle. Since Lan Ji is Lu Bu's grandson, he may have inherited his father's martial arts..." Gu Li guessed.

Han Zong clasped his fists and asked, "Supervisor Gu, are the soldiers still with us at that time? I want to ask them face to face..."

Seeing Gu Li's distressed expression, Sun Quan frowned and asked, "Is there anything wrong?"

"I heard that there are more than a dozen witnesses, but none of them have redeemed at present..." Gu Li replied with his head bowed.

Chapter 622 Sun Zhongmou is incompetent and furious

"There is no evidence, even if it is Lu Bu's grandson, who would believe that he could kill my father at the age of 12? Now there is no witness, my lord, this matter..." Han Zong threw the contradiction to Sun Quan again.

As soon as Han Zong's words fell, the generals in the hall whispered and became suspicious of Gu Li's words. After all, no matter how poor Han Dang's martial arts skills were, he couldn't be killed by a 12-year-old child. This is too unreasonable.

Seeing this, Sun Quan asked Gu Li, "What do you think?"

"The end general will guarantee with his life, what he said just now is true." Gu Li clasped his fists sonorously.

"Can't those soldiers tell lies? They must be Lu Meng's followers, so naturally they have to hide it for that traitor." Han Zong snorted coldly.

Faced with Han Zong's questioning, Gu Li responded in a panic: "General Han's personal attendants are also present. Since I have been entrusted with the post of military supervisor by my lord, I will definitely do things fairly and justly."

"Has my father's relatives come back?" Han Zong asked again.

"This... As I said just now, it has not been redeemed so far. Only after all the prisoners of war are redeemed will the truth be revealed." Gu Li replied.

"It's too difficult to redeem all of them. Jiangdong doesn't have the ability now. We just listen to Gu Jianjun." Zhang Zhao stepped forward to make a rescue.

Han Zong snorted coldly: "I only believe in facts..."

"You are insulting me." Gu Li jumped up and down angrily.

"Gu Jianjun be careful, how dare I insult you, but my father's death is not clear, and it's okay to want to know the truth?" Han Zong refused to forgive.

"Enough, let's put this matter on hold for the time being, write down the names of those relatives, and go to Lan Tian to redeem them alone, then the confrontation will be clear." Sun Quan sternly controlled the situation, and then said coldly to Gu Li: "You It is not good to follow the supervising army of the capital, I want to deprive you of the capital Tinghou, can you be convinced?"

"The final general is convinced..." Gu Li lowered his head and cupped his fists.

Seeing that Sun Quan was angry, Han Zong stood aside politely. In fact, he came to Chai Sang to find the truth was just an appearance, and the part that he wanted to return to Han Dang was the real thing. Take the opportunity to talk about things as a suffering master.

Seeing that the crowd had calmed down, Sun Quan told the returning prisoners of war Sun Jiao, Gu Li, and others: "Although we lost the battle of Jingzhou, we don't know the details. Please tell us about your experiences in detail, so that everyone can analyze and analyze the situation so that we can know the defeat." Where."

"Wei." All the prisoners bowed their heads and cupped their fists.

Focusing on Sun Jiao and Gu Li, starting from the perspective of the two battlefields of the Yangtze River and Jiangling, and coming together one by one from when Jiangxia sent troops at that time, the hall was suddenly as quiet as a cemetery.

Just as Sun Jiao was talking about landing on the Juzhang River in separate lanes with Lu Meng, suddenly the shouts of tiger warriors came from outside the hall.

"General Xu Sheng is asking to see you outside the hall."

Sun Jiao's speech came to an abrupt end, and Zhou Tai frowned and whispered, "This fellow is not stationed at Ruxu, but he dares to come to Chaisang without permission, it's simply lawless."

Sun Quan was in the same mood as Zhou Tai, but he was the leader of one party after all, and the city was much deeper than Zhou Tai. He said in his heart that he had only acted as Ruxudu for a few days, so he became so disobedient?

"Pass him in."

"only."

Holding the wooden box in his arms, Xu Sheng walked in with a blank expression on his face. The officers gathered behind all gave way to the middle of the road one after another, allowing this guy to show off.

"Wen Xiang (Xu Sheng), that's too rude." Zhou Tai snapped, he suspected that this subordinate was crazy, because of his behavior, the spectrum he put on was very big.

Xu Sheng ignored Zhou Tai, he first bowed to Sun Quan, and then said: "My lord, Sheng brought back the great governor..."

"What did you say?" Sun Quan frowned and swayed from side to side. He didn't notice that Lu Meng was following Xu Sheng. Then he focused his eyes on the wooden box, and suddenly his heart tightened. A strong and bad premonition occupied his brain, and he pointed at the box. The wooden box asked in surprise: "Wen Xiang, you mean..."

"The head of the governor is here." After Xu Sheng finished speaking, there was a commotion in the hall.

Sun Quan was dumbfounded, and waved his hand to beckon Xu Sheng to move forward. He lifted the hem of his robe and walked over quickly. The two rushed towards the hall in both directions, surrounded by Zhou Tai, Zhang Zhao, Quan Cong and others.

Zhou Tai uncovered the wooden box for Sun Quan, and it turned out to be Lu Meng's head. Seeing this, Sun Quan slumped on the ground, and the soldiers in the hall wailed, but Han Zong felt that his revenge had been repaid, and he thought that you, too, Nowadays.

Lu Meng was trained by Sun Quan. Although he was a little swollen before he became the governor, Sun Quan beat him in his own way. Lu Meng's military ability is worse than Zhou Yu's, and his strategic vision is not as good as Lu Su's, but Sun Quan uses it very smoothly. Therefore, in the face of Lu Meng's death, Sun Quan was hit hard.

"What's going on? Why is this happening?" Sun Quan roared.

Xu Sheng bowed his head and replied: "Cao Cao sent people to send the head of the governor to Ruxukou, because the Xiangfan area was at war, and stopped in Wancheng, Xudu, Shouchun and other places on the way. It took nearly a month to go back and forth on the road."

"Tie Cao, does he want to insult me?" Sun Quan gritted his teeth.

Xu Sheng added: "The envoy said that Guan Yu sent someone to Cao Cao to send the head of the Great Governor. Because Cao Cao thanked the lord for sending troops to restrain him, he sent the head of the Great Governor back..."

Sun Quan's eyes were bloodshot, and he yelled helplessly, "Guan Yu, I swear to kill you..."

Seeing that Sun Quan's emotions were out of control, the officers and men in the palace were all infected and excited. Zhou Tai took the opportunity to ask: "My lord, Lantian made us spend 6000 million yuan in vain by being deceived by the governor. Does the death of the governor have anything to do with him?"

Sun Quan looked at Zhou Tai and grinned his teeth, showing a sinister expression, "What Youping said, it's not impossible, this thief in Lantian is the most insidious, hurry up and gather soldiers and horses, I want to go to E County to inquire about the crime."

"Wei." Zhou Tai clasped his fists and prepared to leave.

Zhang Zhao was shocked when he heard the words, and grabbed Zhou Tai's arm: "You are slow, you are easy to make wrong decisions when you are angry. Right now, we and Liu Bei are redeeming the prisoners, and the two families have just improved. If we launch an army at this moment, Sun Liu Wouldn't it be an endless struggle, please think twice, my lord..."

"My lord, what Zibu said is not unreasonable. We have spent so much time. Once Sun and Liu turn against each other, how can there be military expenses? I suspect that this is Cao Cao's plan..." Gu Yong followed to persuade.

After listening to the advice of the two, Sun Quan forcibly suppressed his anger, "Tomorrow is the last deal in the near future. I want to go to E County and ask Lantian in person. Ziming can't die like this for no reason."

Zhang Zhao, Gu Yong and others stopped persuading them, and Sun Quan set up mourning halls for Lu Meng, Han Dang, Pan Zhang and other fallen soldiers in Chaisang.

Everyone in the hall left one after another, and Sun Quan sat on the main seat feeling sad. After this battle, Jiangdong's vitality was severely damaged, and the available personnel also withered a lot.

"My lord..."

Sun Quan looked up and found that Han Zong hadn't left yet, so he asked curiously, "I've told you about the old general just now, and besides, Ziming was killed in battle, what else do you want to do? I'm tired..."

Seeing that Sun Quan was angry, Han Zong asked with a smile on his face, "I just want to ask about my father's songs..."

Chapter 623 I'm Lame

Han Zong euphemistically stated his intentions. He hoped that Sun Quan would give him his father's trilogy for the sake of Han Dang's merits, but the current situation is that there may be trilogy, but the Jiangdong gentry paid the money.

Sun Quan prevaricates Han Dang's trilogy by being killed in battle and being detained by Lantian, etc., saying that after the delivery of the captives is completed, he will treat Han Dang's descendants favorably according to Han Dang's merits.

After dismissing the suffering master Han Zong, Sun Quan summoned Zhang Zhao again. Although this man lacked some backbone, he was much better than Zhou Tai, Xu Sheng and other generals in terms of knowledge.

"My lord, why are you looking for me late at night?" Zhang Zhao clasped his hands to salute Sun Quan while arranging his robes.
