Three Kingdoms, I'm really not a general!

Chapter 374 Sun Quan in Hefei
Sun Yu looked surprised, but his brother Sun Jiao didn't seem to buy it.

He just sighed and said, "Brother, there have been rumors these days that you said that as long as you meet the Marquis of Wu, you can persuade him to surrender to the King of Hanzhong."

“That’s why I got these rewards!”

When Sun Yu heard his brother say this, his expression suddenly changed.

This…

Where did this news come from!

I did say something similar, but that was entirely because I wanted to deceive Xing Daorong!
How did this lie become the truth and even his brother believed it?
Sun Yu immediately shouted: "What's going on? Tell me in detail!"

There are always some ties between brothers. When Sun Jiao saw Sun Yu's condition, he immediately knew that there must be a misunderstanding.

Only then did he quickly explain the whole story.

Sun Yu listened carefully and realized that it was the Jiangdong family who contributed to this.

In addition, since Sun Yu did join the ranks of minting new coins, the claim that the Sun family surrendered did not need any publicity and was simply believed to be true.

After learning the whole story, Sun Yu looked grim, but he didn't expect that Xing Daorong was much more difficult to deal with than he had imagined!
"This is troublesome!"

"Xing Daorong took the initiative. If I continue to harm him, with this box of new currency, he can also take away all the old and young in this family."

Thinking of this, Sun Yu felt that he was still impulsive.

Dealing with Xing Daorong is definitely not as easy as I imagined!

However, his consideration of Xing Daorong was still a little superficial. He not only spread the news in Jiangdong, but also specially found someone to go to Jiangbei to spread the news.
...

Hefei.

Sun Quan guarded this fortress by the river, watching Jiangdong day and night, but he couldn't leave.

When he finally arrived in Jiangbei, or when he met Cao Zhi brought by Lu Fan, he finally understood why Cao Cao had not moved his troops.

It's not that I can't move, it's that I can't move at all!

Cao Cao is seriously ill!

The man is almost dying, why send out troops?

This really gave Liu Bei a chance!
Sun Quan felt very unhappy, as he thought that the foundation laid by his father and brothers had been blown away by the wind, and there would be no chance of recovering it.

But this is just a point of discomfort for him!
The news that came from Jiangdong soon almost stabbed him in the heart again!

"Ziheng."

"You said that there was news from Jiangdong that Zhong Yi had already surrendered to Xing Daorong?"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Hefei.

Sun Quan was in the tent, and when he heard Lu Fan's words, he exclaimed that it was impossible!

But Lu Fan’s face looked so ugly!
His face was as dark as ink, as if water could drip out of it. His thick eyebrows were tightly knitted together, almost forming a line between them. His eyes beneath his sword-like eyebrows looked particularly deep, yet dull and lifeless, as if they had lost their former brilliance.

But he said: "Lord Wu, this matter was reported by my confidant who stayed in Jiangdong. If it weren't for the probability of nine out of ten, such news would never have been reported."

When Sun Quan heard this, his expression became several times uglier than Lu Fan's.

The unexpected events of the past few days have made him look much thinner.

His skin was pale, and the muscles on his cheeks were tense, revealing a barely perceptible sense of tension. Even the clear contours that he was most proud of seemed to be obscured by this sudden bad mood and became blurred. But he said, "If this is true, Zhong Yi must have his own reasons."

"Zhong Yi's body is already in this state. He joined Xing Daorong not for his own sake."

Lu Fan nodded gloomily.

But he sighed: "What the Lord Wu said is right, but the situation today is not in my favor, so I can only wait for the situation to change."

Sun Quan heard this but said nothing.

Although they came to Hefei and did not make a complete explanation in Moling, Hefei had no soldiers and no talented people. Only Lu Fan, Xu Sheng, He Qi and others followed him.

Waiting for the situation to change
The south is very stable, and if there is any change, it will only be the north.
Thinking of this, Sun Quan said calmly: "Don't worry about the news in Jiangdong for now. Ziheng, come with me to find Cao Zhi and see what's going on in the Cao family."

Sun Quan in Hefei was in a bad mood every day, which was naturally within Xing Daorong's expectations.

His agricultural reforms in Jiangdong were already on the right track.

The prosperity of Jiangdong made everyone in Jiangdong feel good, except Sun Yu, who didn't feel so good.

Especially at this moment
When Sun Yu saw Xing Daorong sitting in the seat where Marquis Wu used to sit, he felt even worse.

But who can care about his sad mood?

In fact.
Most people just treat him as a joke.

It's good enough that he didn't laugh at him. Who can care about his feelings?

Xing Daorong was watching from the top, so he naturally saw everything clearly. However, he didn't care about that guy, so he just asked, "Everyone, it has been half a month since we minted new coins and used new plows."

"Is there any problem with this?"

Liu Ba stepped forward and said, "General, now the people all know that they have to exchange old money for new currency. This matter is being implemented in an orderly manner. Please rest assured, General."

"As for the treasury, there are currently tens of millions of new coins in stock. According to the general's instructions, all of them will be used to supplement military expenses."

Xing Daorong listened and nodded slightly.

This was something he had already agreed with Liu Bei in a letter. All the "wealth" collected in Jiangdong would be used in the army.

Looking at Gu Yong, he heard Gu Yong say: "In the market, all prices are set quite stable, and there are no big waves among the people."

Lu Ji stepped forward and said, "As for the new plows, they have already been picked up by the people and are now in full swing in the spring ploughing."

Xing Daorong finally showed some joy when he heard this, and said, "This is the best. It happens to be a time of chaos, and the people are suffering the most."

"It's a pity that Cao Cao has not been eliminated yet, and we can't rest and recuperate. It would be better to develop well for a few years, and we will surely be able to restore our former glory."

Everyone could hear Xing Daorong's compassion for the world, and they all sighed: "The general's benevolence and righteousness are truly a role model for us."

Xing Daorong waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "As for the people's affairs, we can make them feel better as long as we have compassion for them. However, to deal with the bandits, we must use thundering means!"

After saying this, it was finally Ling Tong and the others' turn to step forward.

He called out, "General! Most of the bandits in the counties of Jiangdong have been killed. Now there is only one group of bandits who have joined forces with the Shanyue people of Poyang County, Peng Qi, Peng Shi and others to rebel. This is a bit troublesome."

Xing Daorong was a little surprised when he heard this.

As he thought, the people on this mountain were all little Karami, and he could kill them all easily.

I didn't expect this little Shanyue man to be in league with the bandits.
