Sun Quan stood under the moon accompanied by Zhou Yu, staring at the distant scenery in a daze. He felt that the earth shrouded in the night exuded an indescribable mysterious beauty, which made people fall into it.

The sound of footsteps came from behind, pulling back Sun Quan's thoughts.

The sword maid who came out of Sun Ren's mansion bowed to Sun Quan and said, "Report to King Wu, the matter has been done!"

Sun Quan sighed, snorted coldly, and cursed: "What a cheap guy, Liu Mu!"

Zhou Yu said: "It seems that things are going well. After tonight, our plan should be officially implemented!"

Early the next morning, Sun Quan and Zhou Yu came to the mansion where Sun Ren was secretly placed under house arrest. A sword maid came forward to pay homage to him: "I pay homage to the King of Wu and the Grand Governor!"

Sun Quan glanced behind and asked, "Where is Miss? Where is Liu Mu?"

Jianmai blushed and said, "Miss is still sleeping in the dormitory and seems to have not woken up yet. Butler Liu Mu went back to rest after he had sex last night."

Sun Quan snorted: "Liu Mu still understands his identity!"

Zhou Yu smiled and said to Sun Quan: "It seems we came too early, so why not just walk in this backyard."

Sun Quan smiled and said, "What Gongjin said is exactly what I want. Let's have some fun and wait for my sister to wake up."

The two of them walked by the pond in the backyard, with guards and maids following closely behind.

Sun Quan smiled and said, "It seems that God is on our side this time! I was worried that things would go down in a row, but I didn't expect it to go so smoothly!"

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "This is a chance given to us by God. We must seize it ourselves! I think it would be better if the lady and Liu Mu can enjoy a sweet time and then make our plans."

Sun Quan nodded and said, "Gongjin is very worried, so I will do it." Thinking of something, he asked, "Gongjin, what do you think about Liu Xian going to conquer the Western Regions this time?"

Zhou Yu thought: "According to the news from all sides, the rebellion of many tribes in the west is very large in scale, especially the legendary Mauryan Dynasty launched an attack on the Western Regions, posing a huge threat to the Western Regions!

I think the problems in the Western Regions should be very serious, otherwise, how could Liu Xian leave Luoyang easily and rush to the wilderness of thousands of miles?"

Sun Quan nodded and said, "What Gongjin said really coincides with what I think!" Then he smiled and said, "If those foreign races of the barbarian country can defeat Liu Xian in the Western Regions, no matter how good they are!"

Zhou Yu thought, "The King of Wu said very much. However, we cannot interfere in those things. What we need to do is to seize the time to reorganize the army and prepare for war."

Sun Quan nodded and asked, "How is the preparation work going?"

Zhou Yu couldn't help but frown and said, "It's still going well..."

Sun Quan glanced at Zhou Yu and said, "You don't seem to have finished speaking Gongjin's words? Did you encounter any problems?"

Zhou Yu clasped his fists and said, "Wu King Yingming. Since we have been recruiting soldiers in full, there have been many rebellions in various places that resist the increase in troops. There are even people in each village and town who fled to escape the recruitment!..."

Sun Quan frowned and said angrily: "A group of lowly people who do not want to share the joys and sorrows with us!" Then he said: "This matter must be severely punished! Those grass-roots who evade responsibility must pay the price for this to serve as a warning!"

Zhou Yu said: "Don't worry, King Wu, my subordinates have ordered people to do it."

Sun Quan said with a look of relief: "With Gongjin here, I really worry a lot!" Then he asked: "Is there any other problem?"

Zhou Yu said, "The other thing is the matter of money and grain. The progress of money and grain collection in various places is much lower than expected. I am afraid that the amount we expected will not be able to be collected before the end of the year."

Sun Quan frowned and said ruthlessly: "This matter is of great importance and there is no need to be any mistakes. Tell me that if you cannot pay the money and food you should pay, you will be detained and punished as a collusion with the enemy.

I don’t believe that they can’t pay the money and food! When dealing with these troublemakers, they must know that they are amazing!”

He paused, his attitude eased a little, and asked, "How is the progress of consultation with the families of various aristocratic families?"

Zhou Yu said: "Zijing is communicating with everyone, and the major families are reasonable. This matter is progressing relatively smoothly. It is expected that by the end of the year, 500,000 dan of food and grass and 50 million chunks of money can be donated to provide military supplies."

Sun Quan nodded and praised: "These well-read families are trustworthy!"

Zhou Yu said: "There is another problem. Recently, many generals have responded, believing that the recent recruitment of barbarians in the mountain and savage barbarians has been recruited into the army, so that the proportion of barbarians in the army has reached almost half!

Many generals were worried that if they continued to develop accordingly, the number of barbarians in the army would exceed that of the Han family, which might become a hidden danger!…”

Sun Quan waved his hand and said angrily: "These people are so short-sighted! The most important thing at the moment is to concentrate as much as possible! If you are afraid of wolves in front and tigers in the back, what else can you do?"

Zhou Yu said: "What the King of Wu said is very true. However, the generals' worries are not without reason."

Sun Quan frowned and said, "What should Gongjin think we should do?"

Zhou Yu said: "The problem now is nothing more than the loyalty of these barbarians. It is better to reward all barbarian troops and their families to generals and officials at all levels.

This not only demonstrates the favor of the King of Wu to his subordinates, but also allows generals and managers at all levels to manage the numerous barbarians on their behalf.

After these barbarians and their families became slaves to everyone, the expenses in all aspects were naturally taken care of by everyone, and they could save a lot of money for the King of Wu. It can be said that they can kill the number of people in one fell swoop!"

Sun Quan showed joy on his face and high-five and praised: "What a good plan! Gongjin is worthy of being my son!" After thinking for a while, he said resolutely: "That's what we do!"

A sword maid came hurriedly and reported: "Qi reported to the King of Wu, Qi reported to the Grand Governor, there was something going on in the room, Miss, she should have woken up!"

Sun Quan immediately said: "You go in and serve immediately! We will come here later."

The sword maid shouted and ran down.

Sun Quan and Zhou Yu saw from a distance that several maids entered the bedroom with toiletries such as basins. Then, a terrified scream suddenly sounded!

Sun Quan and Zhou Yu were surprised and rushed over and rushed into the room.

A messy scene immediately came into view. Sun Quan and Zhou Yu were stunned, with an incredible look on their faces. That look was like seeing a ghost.

Liu Mu, who should have left long ago, was actually lying naked on the bed, and beside him, a big dog with his mouth wrapped around him looked dying.
