Zhou Budo and Lu Xun's delegation went to Chaisang, while Cao Chong continued to deal with the mess on the road.
Of course, although these things are cumbersome, they are not completely useless for Cao Chong.
At least in the past two days, Cao Chong roughly figured out the basic operating principle of the late Han Dynasty government, and by the way, he made a lot of money.
The people of Jiangdong may be very poor, but the Jiangdong family is by no means like this, in order to keep their position, and at the same time afraid of Cao Jun's revenge, these families basically sacrificed everything.
The money is still small, and even women give it away.
Of course, Cao Chong knows the culture of sending women in Jiangdong, and naturally it is not easy to block it, for the gifts of these families, Cao Chong basically accepts them all, as for what they want Cao Chong to do, Cao Chong naturally does not have to do it.
Cao Cao only wants the peace of Jiangdong, for these Jiangdong families, as long as they abide by the laws of the court and pay taxes on time, Cao Cao does not want to exterminate them, if these families are killed, the essence of Jiangdong will be gone.
Cao Cao knew this, and Cao Chong naturally knew it.
However, these gift women Cao Chong did not stay by his side, one Mrs.
Gan is enough for Cao Chong, and if he adds one, then Cao Chong can really get drunk and dream on the bed.
Of course, Cao Chong is not useful, it does not mean that they are useless.
These gifts of the Jiangdong family were taken by Cao Chong to buy people's hearts in an instant.
Most of the people in the army were old and coarse, and when they saw women and goods, they felt more and more respect for Cao Chong.
And Cao Chong through this operation, he really won a lot of people's hearts, these were seen by Jia Xu in his eyes, and he was anxious in his eyes, but Cao Cao seemed to have never heard of this scene in front of him, and he had an attitude of resignation, so that even if Jia Xu was unhappy in his heart, he could only swallow this unhappiness in his stomach.
The army marched forward mightily, and the Xiongcheng in the distance seemed to be in front of him.
In front of the Yamen of the Chaisang Prefecture Pastoral Mansion.
The leaders of the family knelt outside for a whole day and night, but Sun Quan didn't even come out to see them, such Sun Quan disappointed the Jiangdong family at the same time, but also annihilated the few luck in the hearts of the Jiangdong family.
The Jiangdong family originally thought that Sun Quan could surrender, even if he lost his father's and brother's inheritance, but it was more than enough to keep the family.
But the scene in front of him is that Sun Quan wants to take Jiangdong and give us families to give them a funeral, which makes these people from the Jiangdong family unbearable.
So in the early morning of the next day, many people left one after another, Zhang Zhao looked at the gate of the state pastor in front of him, and finally had to sigh, trembling and standing up and leaving.
Zhang Zhao wanted to be a loyal minister, but when personal loyalty was contrary to the survival of the family, Zhang Zhao resolutely chose the family and buried the loyal courtier's heart in the deepest part of his heart.
And this kind of situation is a very common thing in Chaisang, and it is precisely for this reason that in addition to the military system, Chaisang's yamen and the lowest-ranking Lizheng have also lost their functions, and the city has been paralyzed.
Without the grain, vegetables and fruits brought by the Wu County Huiji, hundreds of thousands of people in Chaisang only had to eat soil, and the result of eating soil was that more than half of the people in Chaisang would die.
Many of the people of Chaisang City had already fled, and even if Sun Quan had the heart to stop it, he couldn't stop the fear of the whole city.
In less than one day and one night, Chaisang was half empty, and if those families hadn't been placed under house arrest by Sun Quan in disguise, they might have run behind Cao Cao to cheer for Cao Jun.
The morale is like this, the situation is like this, and such a situation makes Sun Quan feel a burst of despair in his heart, and just when Sun Quan was desperate, Zhou Budo's persuasion envoy arrived.
Branches The door of the State Pastoral Mansion opened, and Zhou Budo looked at the expectant eyes of those noble sons of the family at the gate of the State Pastoral Mansion, and knew what they were thinking. persuaded Sun Quan, to be honest, Zhou Budo was not sure in his heart, but since he was here for Chaisang, he could only take one step at a time.
Entering the hall of the State Pastoral Mansion, the huge hall made Zhou Budo feel his own insignificance, of course, when Zhou Budo looked at the Jiangdong monarchs and ministers, he also knew that their qi was exhausted.
In the hall of the state governor's mansion, there are only a dozen generals in the left column, there are almost no veterans, most of them are young faces, and in the column of strategists on the right, it is even more cold, and there is only one person standing in it, it is Lu Su.
When Zhou Budo saw this scene, the trace of fear in his heart disappeared completely.
In such a way, I am afraid of what he will do The generals in Sun Quan's hands are almost only the dozen or so people on the left, and a few of them are even used to make up the numbers, among which there are only two people who can take them out to fight, only Gan Ning and Zhou Tai, as for the right side, Sun Quan can't even find anyone who can make up the numbers.
Sun Quan snubbed the Jiangdong family for a day and a night outside the yamen of the state pastoral mansion, and correspondingly, the Jiangdong family also gave Sun Quan a force.
Originally, Sun Quan naturally had more than these strategists, because Sun Quan also promoted a lot of poor strategists, but even if those people were poor strategists, they were inextricably linked with the Jiangdong family.
Some are afraid of the revenge of the Jiangdong family afterwards, some have already entered the Jiangdong family, and some also feel that Sun Quan's anger has been exhausted For various reasons, only one strategist appeared in front of Sun Quan, Lu Su. call Sun Quan suppressed his strong anger and said loudly to Zhou Budo in the audience: "Cao Cao's envoy, why don't you kneel down when you see me?"
If ordinary people were yelled at by Sun Quan, they would probably kneel down subconsciously, but Zhou Budo was not an ordinary person, he smiled on his face and said to Sun Quan: "The dog who lost his family is not worthy of me to kneel." ” When this sentence came out, let alone Sun Quan, Lu Su Ganning's face was full of anger, and Sun Quan even wanted to behead the guy in front of him who didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
Lu Xun stepped forward and pulled Zhou Budo's cuffs, signaling him to speak nicely.
Lu Xun knows Sun Quan very well, this guy is a person with great self-esteem, if you provoke him like this, aren't you afraid of being cut by him Even if you're not afraid, I'm afraid of Lu Xun, I haven't lived enough Looking at Zhou Budo's breezy expression, Sun Quan forcibly endured the anger in his heart and said fiercely: "Although I am a lost dog now, it is still easy to kill you, don't forget." ” Zhou Budo was threatened by Sun Quan, the expression on his face did not change much, but said to Sun Quan with a smile: "If the two armies are fighting, the general will not know."
Sun Quan snorted coldly and said coldly: "If this envoy insults people indiscriminately, what will happen if I kill him?"
Zhou Budo smiled and said: "The general killed me, just to boost the military prestige, and at the same time anger the lord, but also to make Chai Sang one, why not?"
Sun Quan glanced at Zhou Budo, he did have such an idea before, but when this idea came out of Zhou Budo's mouth, he quickly dispelled this idea.
It seems that Cao Jun has corresponding countermeasures.
Sun Quan calmed down, glanced at Zhou Budo, and his eyes flickered
