"Brother Zhongmou, I still want to wait for the wedding night. Now... Shishi is so embarrassed!" Bu Lianshi lay on Sun Quan's chest and said, lying on Sun Quan's arm.

"Don't pinch me, Shishi, we'll get married in a while, sooner or later." Sun Quan took advantage of it and naturally wanted to please him cleverly.

"But they still think of wedding night, that's the better. Now you'll be eating it in a mess, so that others will know that they will laugh at me."

"Who dares to laugh at my Shishi? If anyone dares to laugh at my Shishi, I will destroy his nine clans..." Sun Quan touched Bu Lianshi's nose and said.

"What if the third sister Shangxiang laughed at me?" Bu Lianshi said sly.

"Then you just laugh at me, it's really okay if you don't listen to your sister-in-law, haha."

Sun Quan felt that he had more and more peach blossoms, and it seemed that it was time to move forward. After having his first time with Bu Lianshi, he had a secret meeting several times before getting married. Until the eve of the wedding, everyone was busy, preparing gifts and banquets to welcome guests from all walks of life. As well as Cao Cao and Yuan Shao from Yizhou, Jiaozhou, Jingzhou, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao sent envoys to congratulate him. It seemed that Lu Su and Zhou Yu were delivering the news quickly enough.

The day before Sun Quan got married, he was pulled by Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao to meet the envoys of the major princes.

"Liu Ye, the chief clerk of the Han Dynasty, visited the Marquis of Wu, and was willing to congratulate the Marquis of Wu on behalf of the Emperor of Han and Prime Minister Cao on his wedding!" The first person to receive was Liu Ye, a subordinate of Cao Cao.

"Zi Yang asked for it. It turned out that it was hard work, please sit down!" Sun Quan glanced at the congratulatory letter from Cao Cao that Nian Nujiao handed over, and threw it aside. He said to Liu Ye: "Zi Yang is a relative of the Han Dynasty. Zhong Mou's small marriage, how dare you help Prime Minister and the emperor worry about it. Prime Minister Cao defeated Yuan Shao's million-strong army last year, which shocked the world. Because his brother unexpectedly left, Zhong Mou could not leave Jiangdong easily, otherwise he would really want to go and congratulate Cao Gong on becoming the overlord of the north!"

"Wu Hou is polite. It will take a moment to defeat Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao is already a dry bone in the tomb. Cao Gong was heartbroken when he heard that his brother Ling had gone. He lamented that the hero died early. He now asked for an order to grant the brother Ling the general to the southern commander. At the same time, the edict of Wu Hou's succession was also requested to issue the edict." Liu Ye said and asked someone to take out two imperial edicts and handed them to Sun Quan.

Sun Quan asked Nian Nujiao to take the imperial edict and threw it aside. Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao were a little embarrassed to see that this was too disrespectful to the imperial edict. Liu Ye was still watching. Zhang Zhao couldn't help but cough, and Zhou Yu started chatting with Liu Ye:

"Zi Yang is a native of Jiangnan. Is he here to explore the way for Cao Gong this time?"

"Gongjin is joking. Your commander of Gongjin is unparalleled in the world. Who dares to have your ideas?" Liu Ye also answered the official answer.

"In the Guandu battle, I heard that the food and grass of Yuan Shao's hundreds of thousands of people were burned down. Cao Gong is really rich, how many people's food is the food!" Sun Quan teased.

"Wu Hou was joking. The two armies were in a fight, so Cao Gong could not do it anymore. Cao Gong is short of food now. If Wu Hou has surplus food and grass, I am willing to buy a batch at a high price." Liu Ye said sincerely this time.

"Ziyang, I, Jiangdong, still have a lot of food and grass. However, if Cao Gong wants it, if he can get some war horses for me, he will naturally get what he needs. Jiangdong and Cao Gong live in peace, but trade can be frequented." Sun Quan was thinking about war horses.

"The Marquis of Wu is above, and there are not many war horses of Cao, and I'm afraid it's not enough for the Marquis of Wu." Liu Ye began to lower the price.

"We can just be a horse about one meter three in height and long, and don't have the best horse you have. This should be fine. I just use it to pull carts and plows. It will not threaten Cao Gong's overlord status." Sun Quan said.

"Mr. Wu is sure that as long as this kind of small horse, if that is true, I can agree to Marquis Wu for Mr. Cao. I wonder how much Marquis Wu wants?" Liu Ye asked.

"Hundreds of thousands!" Sun Quan said directly.

"One hundred thousand horses, Wu Hou was joking. The maximum number that Cao Gong can provide to Wu Hou should be 10,000 horses. Besides, there are no more. Only 10,000 horses will be drawn out to transport grain from the army to get all the horses." Liu Ye said.

"Ziyang, don't bully me from Jiangnan. This small horse is not a war horse. It has always flowed into Guanzhong in large quantities on the grassland. Since Emperor Wu of Han, there have been many in the Central Plains, and at least 50,000 horses are needed." Sun Quan said.

"Wu Hou, this is true, but now there are constant wars, and many of the people's horses have been killed. There are not so many, twenty thousand horses. If Wu Hou agrees, then I will respond for Cao Gong." Liu Ye also doubled.

"Well, in this era of war, we can't be too stingy in business. Ziyang, the 20,000 horses I want must have 15,000 mares, and I can give Cao Gong 50,000 ducts of food and grass." Sun Quan said.

"The deal in Wu Hou is too bullying. Even if a horse eats meat, it will take a load of food. You give too little!" Liu Ye was so angry that Sun Quan was all over.

"Ziyang, just kidding, don't be angry, one hundred thousand dans, but they are all good rice in Jiangnan." Sun Quan said.

Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu were listening to Sun Quan and Liu Ye discussing the price. They felt like bargaining like a hawker. They felt very unhappy. Especially when Zhang Zhao felt that Sun Quan offered more than two chunks of grain and grass to exchange for a horse, he also felt that this was too bullying and untrue. He was embarrassed to say that the one above was his lord.

"Wu Hou, 400,000 dan, the market price is at a price, and we are not at a loss." Liu Ye was also angry.

"Ziyang, I won't lose if you want me twenty ducts of this small horse, but do you think your horse can be sold in the market in a day? It's impossible to sell 100 horses a day under the rule of Cao Gong. I have bought a small amount this year, so I can't negotiate the price of 20,000 horses at a time. Food in troubled times is the source of troops, and it can't be so cheap." Sun Quan said.

"Wu Hou, this..." Liu Ye didn't know how to negotiate the price at once.

"Zi Yang, look at Cao Gong who has horses and shortages food. I have food and shortages of horses. In Cao Gong's opinion, grain is more valuable. In my opinion, this horse is not a war horse and is not that valuable, so I can not buy this horse, but Cao Gong who doesn't buy this food will starve people to death." Sun Quan said.

"Mr. Wu, you are really eloquent. How about you give me a minimum price?" Liu Ye said helplessly.

"Twenty-hundred thousand dans are exchanged for 20,000 small horses, of which 15,000 mares must be given. If the mare can be given 18,000, I can add another 30,000 calories of food and grass." Sun Quan said.

"Okay, Wu Hou, happy cooperation! I'll thank Wu Hou for Cao!" Liu Ye agreed directly. Before Cao Cao came, he told him to get food and grass. No matter the price, he could not ask Yuan Shao to buy it. Moreover, it was already calculated that there should be no more food and grass across Jiangdong, because Jiangdong also pacified Shanyue and fought endlessly.

Later, Sun Quan met with Yuan Shao's envoy Xin Pi. After some red tape, Sun Quan said directly:

"George, thank you for your hard work. Just now, I talked with Ziyang. Cao Gong used 20,000 war horses to exchange for my 200,000 harbors of food and grass. I wonder if Mr. Yuan was interested?"

"Oh..." Xinpi was choked by Sun Quan's directly, and said for a moment: "If Wu Hou has food and grass, my lord will be willing to buy it at a higher price than Cao Cao. It would be even better if Wu Hou could sell the food and grass for Cao Cao to my master."

"Of course I want to sell some food and grass to Mr. Yuan. Mr. Yuan's fourth generation and third generation were defeated last year. Although he was still the first prince in the world. How dare I offend him? But I don't know how Mr. Yuan is going to trade? There is a barrier between Cao Cao, so transportation is inconvenient?" Sun Quan said humbly.

"We can find another way to transport, and we can complete the transaction through the caravan." Xinpi had no choice.

"Haha, if there is no way to negotiate a deal that cannot be reached, there is nothing to negotiate. George, if I use a ship in Jiangdong to transport grain and grass to you to Bohai County for you to trade, and exchange 200,000 grain and grass for your 200,000 war horses, even if I am selling it to Mr. Yuan, how about it?" Sun Quan said.

"That's good. I'm thanking Mr. Wu for my lord Yuan. I wonder what the horses Wu Hou asked for?" Xinpi said.

"A horse is about one meter three in height." Sun Quan said.

"The request of Wu Hou is completely fine." Xinpi was also surprised, but he agreed readily, why not take advantage of it?
