Zhang Hong said a little, making his mouth dry.

Sun Quan frowned and waved to him, saying, "Although the plan of the eastern part is safe, the military strategy has a surprising victory. It takes a long time to mobilize a hundred thousand troops. If Chen Deng had a connection with Long Xiang, wouldn't he let Hefei do it.

Ready?"

"ah?"

In the past, Sun Quan was defeated by Chen Deng in Guangling, but Zhang Hong was left in Xu Du as the censor, so he did not remember the grudges between Chen Deng and Sun Quan so deeply.

I thought to myself that since Long Xiang dared to provoke Jiangdong, wouldn’t he be prepared in advance? What does it matter if Chen Deng’s hook is related?

After all, Zhang Zhao is an old man. He understood the implicit meaning of the two, and hurriedly came forward to smooth things over.

"The lord and Zi Gang make sense, and in fact, there is no need to interact with Chen Deng. The enemy's enemy is a friend. It is better to send someone to the Central Plains to form an alliance with Cao Cao. He is trapped in Hebei and cannot get out of here. He will never see Longxiang sitting in Huainan.

, Maybe he will order Chen Deng to restrain himself, and then Guangling will have no worries."

"Associated with Cao Cao? Isn't it a matter of being a tiger?"

Sun Quan shook his head, "Besides, he broke with Longxiang now, and the road from Huainan to the Central Plains is blocked. If he sends an envoy to go around Guangling and then completes an alliance with Cao Cao, it will not take more than half a year? Where can I wait for so long?"

"Lord, the 100,000 army is very costly. The battles in Jiangdong have not stopped. It is appropriate to raise enough money, grain and military supplies for more than half a year."

Gu Yong, who had never spoken, suddenly seized the loophole in Sun Quan's words and tactfully expressed his difficulties, meaning that it would be fine if you want to fight, so we have to take a few breaths.

After the summer harvest for more than half a year, each county can transfer the collected new grain to military use.

Sun Quan was stunned when he heard this and looked at Gu Yong in surprise.

I thought to myself that I was named the prefect of Kuaiji and asked you to serve as the governor of Kuaiji County. How much gift did this give the Gu family? Why are you not tactful?

"The fighter's opportunity is fleeting, how can we delay the sun and the moon for no reason?"

Sun Quan first expressed his attitude, and then said to Gu Yong and others in a soothing tone: "This battle in Hefei is of far-reaching significance to the future of Jiangdong. You should work together with me. If you have any difficulties, you will overcome them together.

I plan to send troops in a month.”

"Don't worry, lord, Qin Song will do his best."

"I work overtime and ensure that I will not miss the lord's affairs."

"The last general will allocate warships and troops tomorrow to ensure that troops are sent on time in one month."

With Qin Song taking the lead in setting an example, with Zhang Zhao and Lu Meng's cheering, the rest of the people in the hall had no objection. Gu Yong and Yu Fan had no choice but to bow and acted as Mr. Nan Guo among the crowd.

Zhu Zhi saw the expressions of the two, and knew their difficulties, so he advised Sun Quan: "Zhongmou is enterprising and the cooperation between the ministers is good, but what Yuan Tan said is not without reason. We have just made an expedition to the West.

We have to take on the Northern Expedition again. Raising money and food is really not easy. We are a little anxious in a month."

"Unknown Mr. Zhu has any insights?"

Sun Quan was just full of energy, but at this time he asked humbly.

Zhu Zhi is a powerful man in Danyang County and a veteran of Sun Wu. His qualifications are the same as Cheng Pu and Han Dang, but his status is above the two;

When Sun Ce was able to defeat Liu Yao, he mainly relied on Zhu Zhi's power. Therefore, when he pacified Jiangdong and rewarded merits, Zhu Zhi became the richest prefect of Wu County in Jiangdong.

The Wujun clan represented by Gu Yong and the Kuaiji clan represented by Yu Fan need to pay money and grain for the Sun family, while the local tyrants represented by Zhu Zhi sent troops, and Sun Ben also listened to Zhu Zhi's words, so

Sun Quan attaches great importance to his opinions.

Zhu Zhi stroked his beard and thought for a while, and finally said earnestly: "Half a year is too slow, one time is too fast, I think it will be better for two months. The weather in April has completely warmed up, and the spring rain season is almost over, so the soldiers don't need it.

Wearing bulky winter clothes is a good time to go out to fight.”

"I think it's OK, so I follow Mr. Zhu's suggestion."

Sun Quan nodded slightly, and then repeated to everyone: "The preparation time has been changed to two months, so you can relax."

"Two months are tight enough. The routine method of raising money and grain may not be able to complete the task as scheduled. Since this time it is related to the interests of the entire Jiangdong, Zhongmou should think of other ways."

Zhu Zhi added this fair words that made Gu Yong and Yu Fan moved him. He thought to himself that it must be our own family in Jiangdong, who are more objective than those officials in Huaisi. The people of Jiangdong do not cheat the people of Jiangdong.

Sun Quan nodded frequently and said meaningfully: "Mr. Zhu is right. There are two counties and twenty-eight counties in Huainan, and countless lands and populations. I plan to reward merits after the war, not only to the frontline soldiers, but also to

Those who need to make contributions to raise money, food, and military should also give corresponding rewards.”

"good."

Zhu Zhi's face was full of kindness and he stroked his hands to show his affirmation.

Gu Yong and Yu Feng looked at each other. They were skeptical about Sun Quan's words, and then Sun Quan continued to speak again.

"Mr. Zhang, come down and discuss it. First calculate the needs for the war, prepare supplies for three months, and then show the task of officials above the county magistrate. As the saying goes, everyone has high firewood and flames."

"Showdown Mission?"

Zhang Zhao swallowed violently when he heard this: "If it can't be done."

Sun Quan frowned and replied, "Everyone said that he could reward merits and do things. How could he not succeed with his heart? If he doesn't have it, donate part of it yourself, and it's not without reward."

"Donate yourself?"

Zhang Zhao felt a big head in an instant and thought to himself that this was a job that offends people.

He was about to take himself out, but Sun Quan's next words had blocked the road.

"In order to set an example for everyone, I will take the lead in donating some. After the war, Zhang Gong organized statistics and bookmarks, and rewarded them based on the list of merits."

"Well."

After the collegial meeting, some families were happy and some were sad, but only a few people were happy, and most of them felt sad.

Although Sun Quan promised to reward merit, for locals like Gu Yong and Yu Fan, it is not convenient to manage even if they get land in Huainan, and their investment and harvest are not proportional to their income.

Zhang Zhao, Qin Song and others were also depressed. Sun Quan asked everyone to donate money to the war, so they naturally could not be spared. There was no idea how much income there was, but he had to pay a part of it first.

Sun Quan was glad that he had the foresight and thought about checking out Yaoji Trading Company in advance to take the lead in donating money, otherwise the sharing of tasks would be difficult to implement.

The discussion lasted for an hour, and Sun Quan knelt a little numb, so when the ministers left, he planned to find Bu Lianshi to pinch it, but as soon as he walked out of the hall, he saw Zhou Shan and others under the corridor.

"Why are you here? The matter is done so quickly?"

"Lord, the situation has changed."

Zhou Shan frowned, the character "Shu" frowned on his forehead, and his head shook like a rattle.

"Um?"

"Three months ago, Yao Xuan transferred the business to a local on the excuse that his mother was seriously ill. It seemed that he had gone back to Hefei, so we had no excuse to search."

"Three months ago? I was still in Jingzhou at that time. Did Longxiang have any plans?"

Sun Quan was shocked and asked: "Yaoji Trading Company's business is very easy to do. Who dares to take over?"

"I just checked it out in the end. The new shopkeeper named Dai Mingqiu was the first to go to the business in Danyang."

"Danyang?"

Sun Quan's mind was running rapidly, and then he said in a deep voice with a cold face: "This person must be Yao Xuan's detailed work. You can take the soldiers with you and copy them. If anyone dares to stop him, he will kill him."

"only."

Zhou Shan received Sun Quan's order and left with his fists.

Yao Ji Trading Company makes money every day, so how can the new shopkeeper Dai Qiu be willing to surrender to Zhou Shan easily?

At that time, the business company had a family servant, so Dai Qiu organized the family servants to block the time and planned to send people to ask for help from the backstage.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Shan had a military order and directly drew his sword to the blocker. He ran around in a panic and bumped into someone, but unfortunately he was killed by random swords.

That night, a servant knocked on the Gu family's door in panic.
