Shu Chen

Chapter 513
Chen Dao was once seriously ill and unable to act.

Even he himself felt that he might not live long, so he went to the court to apply for a deputy, just in case.

However, not long after the prime minister sent Deng Zhi to work in Berkshire, his condition suddenly improved, and his energy and appetite increased greatly.

Really surprising.

However, the veteran is still healthy, which is welcome to the big man.

The prime minister also did not send Deng Zhi to another post, but because he was highly respected by Sun Quan, he changed the matter to the trade with Jiangdong.

Also last year, he found that the raw silk purchased from Jingnan had decreased a lot.He sent someone to ask, and Jiang Dong replied that it was because of Liao's rebellion, which caused the turmoil in Jingnan, so Nongsang was destroyed.

Deng Zhi didn't believe it.

Because of the Liao-style rebellion in Linhe County, which was divided from Jiaozhou, the governor of Lu Dai rushed to crusade. How could the war spread to the counties and counties in southern Jing?And at the time when Jiangdong's foreign troops are unfavorable and there are rebellions inside, shouldn't we increase trade with the big Han in order to obtain enough funds to reassure the hearts of the people and reward the soldiers?
With doubts, Deng Zhi asked merchants to pay more attention to Jingnan's information, and rushed to Yong'an to find Chen Dao.

At this time, the scouts under Chen Dao had already spied on Wei Guo to find Jiangdong to buy salt.After the two summed it up, they both thought that Jiang Dong had sold the raw silk to Wei Guo.

As for the country of Wei, which has no shortage of mulberry and hemp, why buy raw silk~~
Shu brocade is one of the strategic materials that the great man relies on to raise his troops!

For the State of Wei, if the production of Shu brocade can be reduced, it will also be a means to make the national power and military expenditure of the Han Dynasty into a difficult situation.

After the scouts found conclusive news, Chen Dao and Deng Zhi jointly wrote a book in Chengdu, and the temple in Chengdu also transferred a copy of the case from the prime minister.

Don't blame them for being so cautious.

Although Wu Guo's private trade and other activities have not risen to the point of becoming an enemy of the big man, they have already betrayed the oath of mutual alliance between the two countries!
And everyone knows that it is not impossible for the two countries to become enemies again.

In any case, Han and Wu have blood feuds in the end.

Even though the broken mirror is round again, the cracks still remain.

The seeds of suspicion that grow on people's hearts, once planted, will one day grow into towering trees.

Now that Jiangdong has made peace with the state of Wei, there will be a day when he will stand on the side of the mortal enemy of the big man. The difference is that this day comes sooner or later.

After the prime minister got the book, he didn't do anything.

Just ask Chen Dao and Ma Zhong, who is guarding Nanzhong, to strengthen their vigilance.

However, the leaders of the various ministries of the Northern Expedition were very indignant at Jiangdong's repeated and villainous behavior. When they met in private, they would always talk about it and insult them together, "Jiangdong is all rats" to soothe their mood.

Today, Zheng Pu and Guan Xing gather together to do the same.

When Guan Xing spoke highly of the Battle of Mudwater River Valley, Zheng Pu could guess what he was going to say!

It was nothing more than feeling that he had built too little merit since the expedition, that he had owed the country's grace and the prime minister's respect, and felt ashamed; In the future when the war between Han and Wu started, he would definitely ask for orders to go to Jiangzhou or Yong'an Yuwu, let Zheng Pu help and second him, and let him go.

They have known each other for more than ten years, and they can guess through each other's little thoughts.

And the reason why he is so eager is because he wants to avenge his father and brother.

As for why he wanted to ask Zheng Pu to help and second his proposal, it was because he was worried that the prime minister would not allow his request.

It's not that he thinks he's not capable enough, but that he's worried that he's eager to take revenge, that he may oversee the army's rash advances, etc., and misuse the country's merits, so the prime minister will have scruples when thinking about it.

Anyway, Chen Dao is now in good spirits, and Yong'an is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so there is no need to dispatch generals from the various ministries of the Northern Expedition to rush.

Therefore, Zheng Pu asked rhetorically, and without waiting for Guan Xing to answer, he continued, "I know the meaning of An Guo, so I don't need to say more. If Jiang Dongguo is an enemy of my big man, and An Guo wants to ask for orders to go to the enemy, I will join hands with An Guo And please."

"good!"

Guan Xing, who was robbed, was slightly startled at first, and then he clapped his hands and laughed, "Zheng Zijin also knows me! Hahaha~~"

He just laughed, his eyes flashed, as if he remembered something, he lowered his voice and said, "Zijin and I are in a bond, no less than a friend who cut the throat. If I can return to Shu to Yu Jiangdong, I must first For Yi'er's crown ceremony and the blood meal of his deceased brother, Zijin is also invited to be the guest of honor at that time."

May I be your guest?
Wouldn't Jiang Boyue be better?

Because Guan Xing's eldest son, Guan Yi, succeeded Guan Ping, and wanted to take the mansion and fields and pastures in Longyou Ji County as his family business.Out of consideration for Guan Yi's future contacts, Jiang Weichong, whose family is in Ji County, should be invited as a guest!

Hearing this, Zheng Pu raised his eyebrows slightly, looked directly at Guan Xing, and quietly waited for his explanation.

"Hey~"

Guan Xing smiled, and said, "After the crowning ceremony, I still need to make a marriage for him. It's just that I asked my family to search for it, but there was no one who was interested, only Zijin's family."

I made a big circle, so it was to bring up old things again~
Zheng Pu sighed in his heart.

Shaking his head helplessly, he said without thinking, "Then An Guo should ask Bo Yue to be his guest, my eldest daughter has already been promised to someone else."

Promised to others?
When did this happen!
Didn't the previous episode keep saying that Jing Ji was still young and had no such thoughts?

This time, it was Guan Xing's turn to be stunned and wait for Zheng Pu's explanation.

"It happened on New Year's Eve last year."

Zheng Pu didn't hide it, and said directly, "When I came to the writer's book on New Year's Eve, Xijun, I also attached a private letter from Queen Zhang. The queen claimed that Zhang Shun was very studious and a little like a father after the funeral, so she also planned to read it today. That's why he was crowned at the age of [-]." At this point, Zheng Pu spread his hands, "An Guo knows about it, and when Brother Wen Rong was still alive, he also thought of getting closer."

Uh!
It turned out to be the case.

Suddenly, Guan Xing was stunned.

Of course he knew that Zheng Pu couldn't refuse, so that's all.

"It's just a dog with no virtue, hahaha~"

With a burst of laughter, Guan Xing alleviated the embarrassment of this matter, and also made a serious face, and the conversation turned to discussing the war, "Zi Jin may not know, this time the prime minister summoned you and General Hussars to come to discuss matters, but he planned to wait for the spring plowing After the end, we will start attacking Chen Cang."

After spring plowing?

Why the sudden attack in advance?

Involuntarily, Zheng Pu was surprised, but soon there was a flash of understanding in his eyes, "Is it because of Jiangdong?"

"Well, sooner rather than later."

Guan Xing nodded, and said softly, "Jiangdong rats can't be trusted. The Prime Minister felt that Jiangdong had already negotiated peace with Wei Wei, so he had to guard against it, so he planned to capture Chencang City as soon as possible. If things go well, even if Jiangdong breaks the covenant and sends troops to attack, I am a big man." It will not delay the plan of the Northern Expedition."

Indeed, as long as Chen Cangcheng is captured, the big man will have a foothold in Guanzhong.

Moreover, given the closed terrain of Bashu and the heavy mountains and rivers in the south, even if Jiangdong is an outrageous enemy, it will not restrain the Northern Expedition forces of the Han Dynasty.

"It's just that the old warehouse is not easy to pull out!"

After explaining, Guan Xing sighed.
