Because Tai Shici and Gan Ning came to Jiangdong to exchange materials, grain and grass, Lu Su, a wise man in Jiangdong, made a trick for Sun Quan and began to purge the strength of the four major families again.If Zhou Yu went to Jingzhou to transfer troops from the four major families before, then this time it will be the financial and material resources of the four major families.Although it is a little inappropriate in the eyes of many people, this is quite in line with Sun Quan's intentions.Immediately, under Sun Quan's order, Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong were responsible for spreading the word that the patriarchs of the four major families donated 50,000 stones, rice, grain, fish and shrimp within half a day.Otherwise, they will forcibly conscript a thousand troops and thousands of taels of silver.And Sun Quan began to prepare for the inventory of the treasury materials and prepared to exchange them at the first time.And the four major families in Jiangdong were forced by Sun Quan to grit their teeth and take out 50,000 stone of rice and grain.If he doesn't pay, everyone believes that Sun Quan really dares to forcibly recruit soldiers and collect money, even if he can't hold out, but with Sun Quan's current strength, he dares to directly block his business and money sources, and the stalemate will outweigh the losses.In this way, it was only half a day's work, and 300,000 stone rice, grain, fish and shrimp were just enough by Sun Quan.When Sun Quan asked people to transport 300,000 stone grain and grass to trade with Tai Shici and Gan Ning, the two of them couldn't help but show a hint of imperceptible smiles on their faces.As early as yesterday, when the two of them returned to the ship, Tai Shici couldn't help but wonder to Gan Ning: "Xingba, Lord Xun Yu obviously asked us to exchange 200,000 stone grain and grass materials from that Sun Quan, why did you suddenly change your mind to 300,000 stones."
This is suddenly more than 100,000 stone grain and grass, I am afraid that Sun Quan will not accept it, if this transaction fails, it will be extremely unfavorable to our army.It's better to pretend that instead of changing his words, slow down a bit, so that Sun Quan will definitely agree immediately. ”"Don't worry, I've been in Jingzhou before, this Jiangdong is rich, and 300,000 stone grains are like a penny to them.Although Lord Xun wants us to exchange 200,000 stone grain and grass, if we can exchange 100,000 stone grain and grass more, wouldn't it be more beneficial for our army to send it to the front line in Yanzhou.At that time, if Lord Xun Yu knew that we squeezed more 100,000 stones of grain and grass from Sun Quan, he would definitely remember our great achievements, haha" Gan Ning couldn't help but laugh out loud after speaking.Maybe it was because of Gan Ning's infection, Tai Shici on the side couldn't help laughing, I don't know if it was funny for Gan Ning to squeeze Sun Quan's 100,000 stones of grain and grass for nothing, or because he was funny when he saw Gan Ning's bad appearance.In the end, the two couldn't help but make a bet, if Sun Quan directly took out 300,000 stone grains to trade, it would be Gan Ning's victory, and Tai Shici would invite him to drink wine and eat meat.If Sun Quan asked for a reduction in the number, it would be a victory for Tai Shi Ci, and Gan Ning would invite Tai Shi Ci to eat wine and drink meat.One night later, early the next morning, someone came to inform the two of them to prepare for the exchange of supplies.After hearing the news, Gan Ning couldn't help but show a wicked smile at Tai Shi Ci, and secretly signaled that he had won, so that Tai Shi Ci was ready to have a treat.Of course, for Tai Shici, it is not necessarily a bad thing for him to lose, but it is a good thing for his own army.For this point, Tai Shici can still afford to lose.An hour later, Sun Quan personally led Lu Su, Zhou Tai, Ling Tong and other important Jiangdong generals, and more than 1,000 soldiers escorted 300,000 stone rice grains, fish and shrimp to follow.This somewhat surprised Tai Shici and Gan Ning, who didn't expect that this matter would make Sun Quan pay so much attention to it.But this is also the result that Gan Ning and Tai Shici want.When Sun Quan came, Gan Ning and Tai Shici couldn't help but step forward and bowed: "I didn't expect Sun Taishou to come to trade in person this time, it really surprised the two of me, if my lord learns, he will definitely be grateful." ”Sun Quan said quietly: "King Zhao was able to send two generals to personally transport 5,000 battle exploits and 50,000 arrow feathers to Jiangdong, which is enough to show that King Zhao attaches great importance to this transaction.Therefore, it is reasonable for Sun to have to give a greeting etiquette, so that the two generals can go back and explain to their friends. ”Tai Shi Ci immediately responded: "My second general will definitely inform my lord of Sun Taishou's affection in its original form, and I think that if the lord learns about it, he will be very grateful to Sun Taishou for this affection." ”Sun Quan continued: "Then the two generals will wait for me to show King Zhao my Jiangdong intentions, and I hope that our cooperation can be maintained for a long time."
Now that time is pressing, why don't we start letting the soldiers carry the supplies. ”"That's exactly what I mean."
After Gan Ning finished speaking, he ordered the soldiers around him to start carrying the war bows and arrow feathers in the cabin.And Sun Quan also began to order his soldiers to start carrying 300,000 stones, rice, grain, fish and shrimp to the ship.In between, Sun Quan, Gan Ning, and Tai Shici kept communicating with each other, and both sides wanted to know more about each other's camp.After nearly an hour of transportation, all the materials were adjusted, and 5,000 battle feathers and 50,000 arrows were transported from the warship to the transport carriage in Jiangdong.The 300,000 stone rice, grain, fish and shrimp brought by Sun Quan were all transported to the cargo hold of the warship.After the completion of the transaction between the two armies, Gan Ning was naturally reluctant to stay longer, although the transaction with Jiangdong was very successful this time, but it was difficult to guarantee that there would be no other changes, and leaving earlier would also make him feel more at ease.When the warships left the Jiangdong Sea, they marched all the way to the Xuzhou Sea, and Sun Quan also ordered his men and horses to start transporting the 5,000 war bows and 50,000 arrow feathers to the Jingzhou front battlefield.As early as before, when Gan Ning and Tai Shici passed through Xuzhou, they told the Xuzhou potters to prepare to receive them, and as soon as the big ship carrying 300,000 grains arrived at the Langxi Wharf in Xuzhou, there were thousands of people and horses waiting, and a few people and a carriage were waiting to load the 300,000 stones of grain and grass.In addition, among these people, there are also the defenders of Taishan County in Yanzhou, since Xu Shu, Chen Gong, and Lu Xun respectively led 100,000, 50,000, and 10,000 soldiers and horses into Yanzhou, and took many cities in Yanzhou, and successively captured nearly 100,000 Cao soldiers in Yanzhou.Moreover, the three strategists are confident that at least eighty percent of these 100,000 Cao soldiers have been successfully brainwashed, and at least there will be no rebellion when they are stable.This time, Xu Shu personally wrote a letter to Jizhou to ask for help, applying for 200,000 stone grain and grass for urgent needs.After Xun Yu made this plan with Guo Jia, he came up with the idea of using the war bow and arrow feathers eliminated by the Zhao army to go to Jiangdong to exchange for 200,000 stone rice grains to support the war on the Yanzhou front.After receiving the reply, in order to ensure the safety of material transportation, Xu Shu ordered Kong Yingqin to lead 30,000 soldiers and horses to the junction of Langxie in Xuzhou to escort 200,000 stone grain and grass back, of which 10,000 soldiers and horses were used to transport grain and grass, and the other 20,000 soldiers and horses were stationed in Xuzhou as a guard.At the beginning, Lu Xun led 10,000 soldiers and horses to attack Yanzhou, and transferred the main force of Xuzhou.At present, Yanzhou has won many victories in battles, and has many large armies, in order to stabilize the stability of the rear, but also to prevent the threat of Yuzhou and Yangzhou.Therefore, Lu Xun applied to Xu Shu for 20,000 soldiers and horses to guard Xuzhou, so as to strengthen the security of Xuzhou, in this regard, Xu Shu agreed with Lu Xun's opinion without hesitation, and immediately allocated 20,000 soldiers and horses for Kong Ying to lead to Xuzhou.When Kong Ying took 10,000 horses to join Tai Shici and Gan Ning, he learned that the two generals had brought not 200,000 stone grain and grass, but 300,000 stone grain and grass, and the entire 10,000 soldiers and horses couldn't help but get excited.Don't underestimate it, it's just that there are 100,000 extra stones of grain and grass, these 100,000 stones of grain and grass are enough for all the soldiers of the Yanzhou War Regiment to last for a few more months, don't look at these months, but it greatly reduces the pressure on the entire army.Only by solving the problem of food can the soldiers fight a good war, and only when they are full of food and drink will they have strength.Loading and escorting together, Gan Ning ordered more than 1,000 sailors to return to the Jizhou sailor camp on their own in warships, while he and Tai Shici followed the grain army to Yanzhou and joined the front-line war.300,000 stone grain and grass were first placed in Dongping City, which was also the headquarters of the Yanzhou Zhao Army, and all the elite soldiers were stationed here.Although Rencheng is the closest to Jiyin and Chenliu, there are only more than 30,000 soldiers and horses left in Rencheng to be on guard, Taishan County has 20,000 soldiers and horses, Jibei has 20,000 soldiers and horses, and another 20,000 soldiers and horses are stationed in Xuzhou, and those who stay in Dongping City are nearly 200,000 soldiers and horses.A few days later, Gan Ning, Tai Shici, and Kong Ying led 10,000 soldiers and horses to escort the 300,000 stone grain and grass to resist Dongping City.Xu Shu, Chen Gong, and Lu Xun led the generals to greet them in person, and when everyone saw Tai Shici and Gan Ning, they all showed joy.The two of them dismounted and bowed to Xu Shu and said, "Gan Ning, Tai Shici, I have seen Lord Xu Shu." ”I saw Xu Shu also bow to the two generals and said: "This time, the two generals of Lao personally came to escort the grain and grass, and the two generals have worked hard all the way, and Xu Shu thanked the two generals on behalf of all the soldiers in Yanzhou." ”Tai Shici immediately clenched his fists and replied: "Lord Xu is really polite, the generals are far away in Yanzhou to fight on the battlefield, and the two of us are just doing our duty to transport grain and grass, and it is really not worth mentioning compared to your hard work." ”Just as everyone was discussing, Na Kong Ying suddenly spoke: "Xu Junshi, this time the two generals went to Jiangdong with military funds to exchange rice, grain, fish and shrimp for a full 300,000 stones.It is 100,000 stone more than the 200,000 stone grain required by the military division before, which is enough for my Yanzhou soldiers and horses to support for several months. ”As soon as Kong Ying's words fell, everyone present couldn't help but be shocked, these 100,000 loads of grain and grass are really not a small amount, and now that there is so much more grain and grass, the pressure on Yanzhou has dropped much less.I saw Xu Shu bow his hand to Gan Ning and Tai Shici again: "The two generals have made great contributions to my Yanzhou soldiers this time, and the general's kindness will definitely be remembered by the soldiers." ”I only heard that Gan Ning immediately smiled and said: "Hahaha, Xu Junshi's words are really polite, if you want to make great contributions, I beg the two of you to let the two of you stay."
When I conquer Cao's army in the future, I can let the two of us lead the army as a vanguard general, after all, for the two of us, leading the army to fight is what I want as a general. ”Xu Shu immediately responded: "The general is so belligerent, how can Xu not take advantage of the beauty of people, and in the future, Xu Shu will definitely fulfill the wishes of the two generals." ”Tai Shici and Gan Ning replied at the same time: "Then the two of us thank the military advisor again." ”:
