Chapter 364

On the way back to the city, Sun Quan couldn't help but think that if he continued to do so, his country's important officials would slowly become his business partners. Will he become a capitalist after a long time of fighting? Sun Quan knew that if he like Emperor Guangwu, his heroes became big landlords, or eventually became local tyrants, it would definitely not work. If everyone could become big businessmen or capitalists, it would be a good choice. No matter what, he would also promote the development of society.

But Sun Quan also knew that all this was not that simple. Feudal society had only been going through so many years at this time, but it would be good if he planted a seed of capitalism himself.

After Zhou Yu and others came back, they quickly made relatively detailed military plans and arrangements, and Zhang Zhao also began to discuss money and food with the cabinet. Three days later, everyone gathered in the study room to discuss the final plan.

This study room was originally called "Yu Study Room". Sun Quan did not want to use the name "Yu Study Room". However, Zhang Zhao said that if it was called "Yu Study Room", the word "Yu" could only be used by the emperor. Sun Quan didn't care about this, so he called it "Yu" first. I remember that when I was watching a TV series, Zhu Yuanzhang called himself "Yu", which was simply easy to understand.

Zhou Yu first took out the military plan of the Military Affairs Office. The specific arrangement was to let Sun Quan be the commander-in-chief of Xiangyang. Shu Han was led by Huang Zhong as the chief general and Pang Tong was the chief of staff. He sent troops during the drought in summer. The troops were divided into two groups. One route, Huang Zhong and Pang Tong marched from Nanjun and feinted to attack Bajun. In fact, he took Shangyong and then marched into Hanzhong. The other route was a surprise soldier. Huang Xu and Sun Yi trained two armies, familiar with mountain jungle combat, and asked them to join forces to send troops from Jianning County to directly capture Yongchang County in central and southern Sichuan, and march directly towards Chengdu. In addition, let the rebel army organized by Ma Su make trouble everywhere, which was enough to make the troops of Shu Han stretched.

Zhou Yu continued: "Guo Fengxiao accompanied my king to control Xiangyang, Lu Meng and Lu Su led the Jingxiang Army to attack Zhang Liao, who was stationed in Yuzhou. The above general Taishici was the main general, Zhao Yun was the deputy general, and Xu Shu was the chief of staff. He commanded two navy troops, one cavalry army, and one army went north from Hefei to take Xuzhou. He ordered his ministers to cooperate with Lu Meng to command the navy and cooperate with some army to attack Youzhou."

Sun Quan was about to speak, but Zhang Zhao asked first: "Gongjin, you have a very serious problem. Why do you want my king to be in charge of commander-in-chief of Xiangyang? I just want my king to be in charge of Shitou City. After all, there is still danger in the battle formation. How can I let my king go to the front line in person?"

Zhou Yu actually wanted Sun Quan not to go, and let him command everything, but that would arouse Sun Quan's fear. If these troops were commanded by himself to win, and if he had the military power in his hands, the final outcome would be hard to say, so he could only let Sun Quan go to the front line to be the commander, so that he could make a small contribution like everyone else, and Sun Quan would be relieved.

Sun Quan looked at Zhang Zhao without saying a word, because Sun Quan was not sure about Zhang Zhao's purpose. Sun Quan wondered whether Zhang Zhao wanted me to go to the front line to gain military power or not? After so many years, Sun Quan had basically met the standards of a king. So Sun Quan asked quietly: "What do you mean by teacher?"

Seeing that Sun Quan's tone was much gentler than usual and his voice was even low, Zhang Zhao knew that Sun Quan was dissatisfied with what he said, and immediately explained: "My king, many things in China now also require the instructions of my king, the promotion of officials, the review of government orders, etc. If my king is on the front line for a long time, I am afraid that the national government will be affected."

Zhang Zhao's thoughts were actually similar to Zhou Yu. Sun Quan liked to be a hand-off manager in political affairs. If it took a long time, Zhang Zhao would definitely not be comforted. Once someone said that all officials were your Zhang Zhao's people, then he would be finished. He also hoped that Sun Quan could take charge of all officials in person, so that Zhang Zhao would not be afraid of rumors in the end.

Sun Quan said: "Although you are on the front line, you can report to Pegasus Express and report to the Pegasus Express. You need to establish a reporting system. I will let the Imperial Guard arrange this, and I will handle all the documents that should be read."

Everyone knows that power is very sensitive, and Sun Quan is such a wise person, so everyone thinks about it from the long run, which makes Sun Quan very worry-free, but what Sun Quan is worried about is that no one among the civil servants has the ability to compete with Zhang Zhao. However, Sun Quan feels that the world is unified and he has gathered people from the north and it is best to get Zhuge Liang over.

Sun Quan said to Pang Tong again: "You say hello to the winery. During this period, the production of alcohol will be done for the time being, and the liquor will be temporarily stopped. The war in the army requires a lot of alcohol. Don't underestimate the use of this alcohol. It is also good to set fire."

Gu Yong suggested again: "My king, we are actually rich now. We have also found some gold mines in Zhuzidao and other places. We can buy grain and grass from Shu Han and Cao Wei through some channels. As long as we pay high prices, we should be able to buy a lot of them. Especially the grain and grass from Shu Han are not enough now. We can buy the grain from their big families at a high price. At that time, Liu Xuande just wants to borrow grain from the big families and can't borrow it. Those big families will lend Liu Bei a lot of gold coins, and then Liu Bei will only watch the gold coins make the army hungry."

Sun Quan laughed and said, "This trick is good. You should try to get money as much as possible, go to Shu Han and Wei to buy food, and raise the price of their food. As long as the price we offer is high, the price of food will naturally rise. Many people will not be able to afford food at that time, and it depends on what they can do."

Zhang Zhao said: "My king, even if we buy these food and grass, we are still on the territory of the empire after all. If the road is blocked and cannot be transported back, it will be useless. They can take it back after they send troops to investigate."

Sun Quan said: "I'm not afraid of this. If this is true, just let them burn them all. Or poison them in the grain. Our purpose is to make them have a lot of extra gold coins in China at once. This gold coins are actually the same as other things. If they are too much, they will not be so valuable. When we purchase grain at a high price, we will reduce the value of the gold coins. The result is that other things will also increase prices. Tell us domestic merchants that when buying and selling in the north, the price of all things will double and double. If the losses caused by not being sold are found, they will come to the orphans to compensate for the losses caused by them."

Zhou Yu asked, "My king, why is this? Is it useful?"

Sun Quan said: "This is actually a war. We let a large amount of gold coins flow into the two countries, so that their various aspects of things can quickly increase prices, so that they have to spend more money to purchase military funds. The lives of poor people will become poorer because of money. Those who can make money will quickly become rich, so that their entire country will be more chaotic."

Everyone can quickly understand what Sun Quan means and gained knowledge, but they all know that one of the prerequisites for doing this is to be rich. However, after so many years, the Wu Kingdom has become very rich in coins. Now this currency has been circulated in the Han Dynasty. Others also want to mint coins, but the quality cannot be kept up, so slowly no one has minted coins.

Sun Quan also said: "At the same time, we have to arrange for people to take a walk to some fake news that disrupts the enemy and break the enemy from the inside. Everyone talks about whether there are any particularly good ideas to disrupt the enemy's internal affairs."

Pang Tong said: "My king, we can take a walk with some rumors between the Han emperor and Cao Cao, so that Cao Cao can turn his attention to dealing with the Han emperor, so that it will be much easier for us to arrange the deal with Cao Wei."

Guo Jiaze said: "My king, we can arrange for people to take a walk. Liu Bei is short of money and grain, so he is preparing to borrow food from a wealthy family in Sichuan. In this way, Liu Bei and those aristocratic families will probably become in opposition."

Xu Shu continued: "My king, we can also join forces with Xiliang or provoke a war between Xiliang and Cao Wei. It is best not to let Ma Teng and the others be idle. It is also good to consume his strength."

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "Yuan Zhi likes open and upright ideas. There are more conspiracies and tricks from Shi Yuan and Feng Xiao."

Sun Quan laughed and said, "Yes, Cao Cao and Emperor Han must have conflicts. Let's say that Emperor Han arranged an imperial physician who specially treated Cao Cao for headaches to assassinate Cao Cao. Once this news spreads, Cao Cao would probably go and check the imperial physician who treated him."

Guo Jia said curiously: "My king, how do you know? I have suspected it before, but nothing has happened, so it will be left alone."

Sun Quan looked at Guo Jia and said, "I just said it casually, but I just thought it would be more reasonable. After all, the Emperor of Han has no real power now."

After discussion, Sun Quan asked everyone to go down, but kept Pang Tong, Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao. Sun Quan asked Li Sheng to arrange people to stay in the surrounding area, and then said to the three of them: "I am thinking about a problem, which is to make people alienate the relationship between Cao Cao and Emperor Han, but at a certain time, I want to arrange people to kill Emperor Han." After Sun Quan said that, he looked at these three of his most trusted confidants.

Zhang Zhao first said: "My king, as long as I can guarantee that this killer will not betray and will not be found out by Cao Cao, this is definitely a good idea."

Zhou Yu said, "Actually, even if it is found out, it's nothing. The people will definitely not doubt us. We fought with Cao Wei. At this time, this kind of thing happened. It is normal for everyone to throw dirty water on each other. It depends on who is better in publicity. Cao Wei will definitely not be able to compare with us."

Pang Tong also agreed very much: "My king, this idea is indeed good. If Cao Cao found out that a certain imperial physician was sent by the Emperor of Han to kill him, then Cao Cao would definitely make things difficult for the Emperor of Han. At this time, the Emperor of Han suddenly died. No matter how he died, Cao Cao would take the blame in the end, and the Emperor of Han has no son yet..."

Zhou Yu suddenly said, "If Emperor Han dies, will Liu Bei be the emperor in the name of inheriting the Han Dynasty?"

Zhang Zhao smiled and said, "Gongjin, if Liu Bei dared to be the emperor, that would be even better. He could be the emperor, and Cao Cao would naturally be the emperor. In this case, my king would be fine. By then, the world would be a war between several countries. After unifying the world, it would be legitimate to replace the Han Dynasty to rule the world."

Pang Tong thought that Zhuge Liang would organize Liu Bei and said, "But if Liu Bei we beat him before that was already disabled, then Zhuge Liang would definitely organize Liu Bei."

Sun Quan asked, "Not necessarily. Maybe Zhuge Liang also suggested that Liu Bei be the emperor? In that case, Liu Bei could summon many people who are dedicated to Han to help him..."

Sun Quan suddenly stopped when he said this, thinking for a while and said, "We should plan the killing of the Han Emperor first. After it is done, Cao Wei and Shu Han will definitely be in chaos for a while. This can buy us a lot of time. Once we take this opportunity to destroy Shu Han and seize Yuzhou or Jingzhou, we will take up two points in the world, and the remaining one will naturally be even less troublesome."

Zhou Yu said: "My king, that's true, but who will let him kill? It's easy to spread rumors, but it's not easy to find someone to sneak into the palace to kill the emperor."

Pang Tong said: "Gongjin, we should not kill with a knife, we should use poison."

When everyone heard that using poison was very feasible, Sun Quan thought for a while and said, "It's good that way. I'll call Yang Ping over and ask him to make a plan. The Jinyiwei should have an insider in the palace to see if it's possible to poison the emperor."

Soon Yang Ping was found. Yang Ping looked at Sun Quan and the other three bigwigs and knew that this time he was afraid that something would happen. After saluting, he sat waiting for Sun Quan's instructions.

Sun Quan looked at Yang Ping and asked, "Are there any reliable people in the palace of Emperor Han that can be used?"

Yang Ping replied: "My king, there are more than one, one of them is the eunuch sent by Cao Cao to monitor the Han emperor. This person was seized by Jia Xu and then forcibly castrated him and sent him to the emperor. Later, the people from the Jinyiwei came into contact with him and gradually developed into our people. We also promised to protect his family. Now his family has been saved by our people to our Wu Kingdom."

Sun Quan said again: "What if we want to poison the Emperor of Han? Can we do it?"

Yang Ping said without blinking, "My king gave the order and the task will definitely be completed."

Pang Tong told them about their plan to spread rumors and assassinate the Han Emperor. After Pang Tong finished speaking, Sun Quan continued: "You arrange it as Xiao Fenghuang just said. No matter what, you must let the Han Emperor die after Cao Cao and the Han Emperor turn against each other. Whether it is poisoning or assassinating, you must die. If you cannot complete the mission, all of your Jinyiwei will be punished by discipline."

After Yang Ping went down, Sun Quan said to Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao: "Teacher, Gongjin, you must also prepare early. This time the Emperor of Han cannot escape."
