Chapter 272
Chapter 272
The Qiao family now has a very high reputation in Jiangdong, not only the two daughters of Qiao Guolao, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao are married to Sun Ce and Zhou Yu respectively, but more importantly, they are very supportive of the Sun family.
Now although Sun Ce is dead and Sun Quan is in charge of Jingzhou, those old ministers in Jingzhou have great respect for Qiao Guolao, so Sun Quan does not dare to snub.
"Elder Guo, Da Qiao is my sister-in-law, and Xiao Qiao is Gong Jin's wife, how can I not care? I am thinking about countermeasures every day, and today I have transferred Zijing back from Yuzhang, and I am preparing to discuss countermeasures with Zibu and Yuanxi. After listening to Elder Qiao's words, Sun Quan hurriedly said, "Since Mother and Elder Qiao are here, then we will discuss it together." "
Thank you
Wu Hou!" "
Report to Wu Hou, Lu Su, Gu Yong, and Zhang Zhao three adults ask for a meeting!" At this moment, the soldiers came to report.
It turned out that when Sun Quan gave the order, the three of them were already outside the gate of the mansion. Sun Quan recalled Lu Su, and he naturally understood that he must discuss important matters.
"Quick, let them in!" "
No!"
Soon, the three arrived at the main hall.
"See the lord, see the lady, the elder of the country!" The three saluted Sun Quan, Wu Guotai, and Qiao Guolao.
"Zhongmou, we are allies with Jingzhou, and your sister is also married to Liu Jun, why did you tear up the covenant again and again and send troops to Jingzhou?" Seeing these heavy ministers of Sun Quan coming, Wu Guotai did not save any face, since Sun Quan sent troops, his heart has always been unhappy. Although Sun Quan promised at that time that after destroying Jingzhou, he would not kill Liu Jun. But Wu Guo knew too well that when it really came to that time, the outcome was not something that anyone could control. Now it's good, I was beaten by others, and I let my daughter-in-law and grandson fall into the enemy country, and I lost my eyes.
"Mother, this... Sun Quan was really speechless, if this battle was won, he could find any reason, but now it was a fiasco!"
"Mother..."
"The old lady, please stop being angry!" Zhang Zhao saw that Sun Quan was speechless, and hurriedly came out to relieve the siege, "The matter has come to this, there is no point in pursuing it again, now we should think of countermeasures!"
"Yes, what Zibu said is reasonable, now first find a way to save my two daughters."
"Elder Qiao Guo cares about Big Qiao and Little Qiao, and as for whose idea it is to send troops, it has nothing to do with him.
"Zhongmou, if my daughter-in-law and grandson can return safe and sound, this matter can be stopped, if not, you will definitely give me an explanation!" Wu Guotai's anger still did not subside.
"Yes... It's..." Sun Quan nodded repeatedly.
"Elder Guo, let's go back!" said Wu Guotai who had never interfered in any government affairs since Sun Jian's death, and now knew that Sun Quan wanted to discuss countermeasures.
"Good..." Elder Qiao also nodded and left the hall with Wu Guotai.
"Lord, Big Qiao and Little Qiao have been sent to Luoyang, and most of them are seriously ill!" The expression on Gu Yong's face was both painful and helpless.
"What are the losses of our soldiers and horses?" asked Lu Su.
Lu Su looked at Sun Quan and felt a trace of loss in his heart. Zhou Yu worked hard for Jiangdong's hegemony and made great contributions, and now, Xiao Qiao is trapped in an enemy country, and Zhou Yu is seriously ill, but the lord Sun Quan does not seem to have any worries, all he cares about is his own soldiers and horses.
"Lord, in the battle with Jingzhou, the army of the four routes lost a total of 30,000 soldiers and horses, and there are still 50,000 left. 10,000 were stationed at Sanjiangkou, 10,000 in Yuzhang, 10,000 in Guangling, and the remaining 20,000 in Wu County. "
Thirty thousand?" Sun Quan was a little surprised, it was originally a smooth battle, the whole form was extremely beneficial to them, but they didn't expect it to be like this.
"Hundreds of thousands of people from Shanyue moved to the four counties of Jingnan and will not be able to return!" In the chaotic times, to achieve hegemony, the people are very important, and in the period of rapid population decline, more than 100,000 people are not a small number.
"That... Can we still fight Jingzhou?" asked Sun Quan.
"Lord, not only did we lose 30,000 soldiers and horses in this battle, but more importantly, we consumed a lot of food and grass, and most of them were seriously ill. Gu Yong shook his head, "Judging from the current situation, it is no longer able
to fight!"
"What should I do?" "From the heart, Sun Quan does not want to fight anymore, and now he has retreated to Wu County, if he fights again, I don't know what the result will be?"
"Lord, Liu Quan is preparing to claim the throne in Luoyang, we will send envoys there, one to congratulate them, the other to make peace with them, form an ally, and resist Cao Cao together."
Sun Quan was extremely unbalanced in his heart, and Cao Cao was called king, because he had captured the entire north, and Liu Zhang was called king, both a Han clan relative and running Yizhou for many years. Moreover, when Liu Yan was in Yizhou, he had the idea of becoming emperor. But Liu Jun....
"Now Liu Jun has become the second largest prince under the world, and he is also the descendant of Guangwuyan, and he has taken the imperial capital Luoyang, and it is natural to call him king!" Lu Su was not surprised by Liu Jun's title as king, "Lord, we will form an alliance with Liu Zhang in the future, not Liu Jun."
"An alliance with Liu Zhang?" "
As in today's situation, Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes not to fight with him." Liu Jun occupied the imperial capital Luoyang, and Jingzhou, Yuzhou, Liangzhou, private and other places, which was enough to compete with Cao Cao. Only by forming an alliance with Liu Zhang can we form a strong position with them and contain each other, otherwise we will be defeated by each other!"
"Lord, Zi Jing's words are reasonable!" Gu Yong also agreed with Lu Su's words.
"Well..." Sun Quan nodded, "I wonder who is the right person to send to Yizhou?"
"But Zhang Huiru, the legendary genius of Wu County?"
"Exactly!" "
Okay, Zibu, you immediately let Zhang Wen go to Yizhou!"
"No! Lord, Chaisang is very important to us, and now that Gan Ning is stationed there with an army of 15,000, it is almost impossible for us to take it. Therefore, his subordinates thought that they could exchange Jiaozhou!" Zhang Zhao added.
"Jiaozhou?" Sun Quan shook his head, "Will Liu Cong agree?" "
Chaisang is just a county, and Jiaozhou is a land of a state, if the area is much larger than Chaisang, but if it is more important, it is not as important as Chaisang." Even Sun Quan would not agree to the exchange, let alone Liu Quan
?" "If Liu Quan does not agree, we will add some more conditions!" "
What else can we add?" Gu Yong also shook his head, "Sanjiangkou, Chibi, Lujiang, Huiji, Wujun, Guangling, none of these places can be given!"
Sun Quan was very puzzled.
"Liu Jun is young and, Big Qiao, Xiao Qiao has now fallen into the hands of the enemy, even if it is rescued, I'm afraid..." Zhang Zhao saluted Sun Quan, "It's better to give them to Liu Jun..."
