Datang ancient martial arts system

Chapter 352 The situation is clear

"Even according to what the lord said, I'm afraid it won't be delayed until next year. If Cao Cao has no opponent, he will definitely hold back Yuan Shao. Even if Yuan Shao can't see this, his brains will. Therefore, Yuan Shao must attack with all his strength. Gongsun Zan, the kind who doesn't care about gain or loss." Zhou Yu rubbed his forehead and analyzed.

"What Gong Jin said makes sense. Cao Cao is very powerful. Yuan Shao must be worried. But in this way, a hard-earned way to make money in the north has been cut off again." Sun Ce said regretfully.

"Not necessarily. Gongsun Zan is dead, and there are Wuheng people. Trading with them is the same, and you can make more money. But since Gongsun Zan's demise is imminent, why not make a fortune." Situ Changfeng said with a smile.

"What's the plan?" Zhou Yu asked with interest.

"Food and weapons are what Gongsun Zan lacks the most. Even if he has money, he won't be able to buy them, so we will sell him more this time. We will accept gold, silver, cattle, sheep and horses. He should have quite a few of these things. " Situ Changfeng explained.

"But we don't have many of these. The soldiers who went to the expedition brought back so many slaves, so many mouths waiting to beg for food." Sun Ce said with a wry smile.

"Who said we should give it all to him? We know that Yuan Shao will try his best to attack Gongsun Zan, but Gongsun Zan himself probably doesn't know. We only need to send a small half over, ask him if he can eat, and then make an excuse to deliver it next time, but he needs to send it first. Payment, as for after payment, it will take time next time, right?" Situ Changfeng said with a rogue smile.

"That's right, that's right. We were worried that he would lose the battle, so we asked for payment first, which is reasonable. We have dealt with Gongsun Zan many times, and he won't be suspicious. This matter will definitely come true." Zhou Yu agreed with a smile.

"Well, well, that's right. It's not that we don't deliver the goods, it just takes time to collect. We don't have to break trust. If Gongsun Zan can persist until winter, it doesn't matter if we pay him in full." Sun Ce smiled as if he was making excuses for himself. He agreed.

"What the lord said is true. After the autumn harvest, we will have plenty of food and grass, but I don't know if General Gongsun can last that long?" Zhou Yu said with feigned regret.

"hey-hey!"

"Ha ha!"

Several people looked at each other and smiled, and decided the matter.

"If this matter is to be accomplished, it must be done quickly. Gongsun Zan cannot be made to despair, otherwise it will be hard to say." Situ Changfeng reminded.

"I will arrange it tomorrow." Sun Ce nodded in agreement.

"There is one more thing, please consider it, my lord." Situ Changfeng tapped his forehead lightly, suddenly remembered something, and said with cupped hands.

"Mavement please tell me."

"Some time ago, we will find out two good generals. They have failed under Liu Biao's command, and they have not been reused at all. My lord, don't hesitate to touch them." Situ Changfeng said.

"Oh! Yihu is recommending talents for a certain person again, tell me quickly." Sun Ce tasted the sweetness of having many talents, and immediately stared at Situ Changfeng with bright eyes, and asked eagerly.

"In Changsha Hanxuan, there was a general named Huang Zhong. He was brave enough to be unworthy of all men. He was not inferior to the last general. It is said that there was a son who was weak and sick. My lord, you can inquire about it. There is also a school lieutenant under Hanxuan's tent named Wei Yan and Wei Wenchang. He is brave and resourceful, and is a talented commander, but he has a somewhat aloof personality." Situ Changfeng introduced.

"Such a talent. It's a pity to be under Han Xuan's tent. Gongjin, you must find a way to let them come to Jiangdong." Sun Ce heard that Situ Changfeng praised the two of them so much. See.

"I will live up to my lord's trust!" Zhou Yu promised quickly.For Situ Changfeng's vision, both of them can be said to have no doubts.

"Okay, okay, whatever you need, just deal with it." Sun Ce said with satisfaction.

"My lord, if there is nothing else to do, I will resign, and I will go back to Wu County tomorrow to prepare. When the seeds of the two crops of rice arrive, I can arrange planting."

"Okay, this matter is very important, please leave it to Yihu." When Sun Ce heard that it was about food, he immediately nodded in agreement.

"Farewell, subordinate!"

"You've worked hard for Yihu, so I won't give it away!"

"My lord, stay!"

"My dear brother, let's go, let's get drunk next time!"

"Brother stay behind!"

…………

"Gongzheng!"

"What are your orders, my lord?"

"What do you think of Mr. Qiao's two daughters?" Sun Ce asked after Situ Changfeng left.

"Oh! My lord has taken a fancy to Mr. Qiao's two daughters? It's not appropriate to just want to accept two of them at the same time!" Zhou Yu reminded tactfully.

"Where do you want to go? How could Mr. Qiao let two women be my concubines? I mean Yihu." Seeing that Zhou Yu regarded him as a womanizer, Sun Ce said angrily.

"Hehe, my lord was talking about Yihu. It's really good. Although the two girls are beautiful, there's still more than enough mistakes for Yihu to match them." Zhou Yu said with an embarrassed smile.

"I think so too, how about Zhang Zhao as a matchmaker?" Sun Ce asked.

"That's right, Mr. Zhang is highly respected, so he's the most suitable one. I wonder which girl from the Qiao family the lord thinks is suitable?" Zhou Yu asked.

"Let Mr. Qiao decide for himself. Originally, I wanted Shangxiang and Yihu to develop a little bit, but seeing them yesterday was a bit unpleasant, and I was worried that Yihu thought I was overpowering others, so I had to take advantage of Qiao's family." Sun Ce He smacked his lips and said regretfully.

"Hehe, I'm afraid Mr. Qiao will be disappointed with such an arrangement." Zhou Yu said with a smile.

"Why?" Sun Ce asked curiously.

"Mr. Qiao brought two daughters to attend, obviously wanting one of them to choose the lord. Maybe they are already discussing which one will marry into the Hou's residence." Zhou Yu explained.

"I'm afraid Gongjin is also one of Qiao Gong's good son-in-law candidates!" Sun Ce joked in turn.

"The Maverick is the most suitable!" Zhou Yu shook his head and said.

"Not bad!"

Both of them are not lustful people, and the importance of Situ Changfeng is self-evident. Sun Ce naturally wanted to try his best to win him over. Seeing that the girl didn't seem to like Situ Changfeng, he had to make another arrangement. Qiao Xuan brought his daughter to the door. It can be said to be exactly what he wanted.

Zhou Yu naturally understands Sun Ce's thoughts, and of course he will not do anything annoying, so he strongly supports Sun Ce's decision.

But they also guessed it right. As soon as Qiao Xuan returned to the residence arranged by Sun Ce, after sitting down, he retreated and asked with a smile: "What do you think of Marquis Wu?"

"Father, what do you mean?" The two sisters looked at each other, and Da Qiao asked in confusion.

"You are not too young, dad wants to choose a good husband for you." Qiao Xuanyu said earnestly.

"Father! You don't want me and my sister to marry Wu Hou as concubines, do you?" Before Da Qiao could answer, Xiao Qiao said in surprise.

"Why not, Marquis Wu sits in Jiangdong, and it will be a matter of time before he becomes king and emperor in the future. Although he is only a concubine now, he will at least be a concubine in the future. The most important thing is that Marquis Wu is young and handsome, and he is a famous hero. My daughter is quite a match. Of course, Governor Zhou Yu is also good. Not only is she handsome, but she is also talented in writing. She is the most important adviser of Marquis Wu." Qiao Xuan analyzed with satisfaction.
