The Three Kingdoms

"Five thousand stones?"

"Borrow [-] troops?"

Gongsun Zan's minister of civil and military affairs suddenly became a little surprised, and immediately began to calculate the value of it.

"It turns out that Jiangdong wanted to use the grain and borrow soldiers from a certain Youzhou. This is feasible."

When Gongsun Zan heard this, his eyes lit up slightly, and he said secretly in his heart.

This year, he attacked Liu Yu. Although Liu Yu was captured, the chaos in Youzhou led to a poor harvest of grain. Now is the time when there is a shortage of grain.

"Zhongmou, you all want to form an alliance. There is no problem with borrowing troops, but if you borrow [-] troops, you need [-] stones." At this time, a scribe on the left stepped up and whispered in Gongsun Zan's ear. After saying a word, Gongsun Zan nodded, then looked at Sun Quan, and said loudly.

"Ten thousand stones of grain?"

Sun Quan's heart moved slightly. Ten thousand grains and one hundred thousand soldiers were a bit of a loss. He shook his head and said firmly, "Jiangdong can only give eight thousand stones of grain at most, but the soldiers must be elite soldiers."

"Row!"

Gongsun Zan looked at the two advisers on the left and right, and they both nodded in silence for a while, then he said, "I will lend you [-] elite soldiers for eight thousand shi of grain."

"Within three days, it is possible to send [-] elite soldiers to the sea, land in Liaodong by sea, and transport [-] grains to Youzhou within half a month?" Sun Quan asked after thinking about it.

"Yes, I believe in Jiang Dong."

Gongsun Zan pondered for a while, nodded, and said.

[Chapter 212 of the main text Zhang blood battle with Ping Guo]

In the lobby of the former general's mansion.

As soon as Gongsun Zan's words fell, Sun Quan's expression brightened for a moment, and then he was a little surprised.He originally thought it would take more talking, but he didn't expect Gongsun Zan to agree so quickly.

It is risky to send troops first and then provide food. If after he sends troops, Jiangdong cheats and refuses to give food, then Gongsun Zan will suffer a lot.

"Is he really not afraid of Jiang Dong repudiating his debts?"

Sun Quan couldn't help squinting his eyes, staring at the rough man in the hall. Although he didn't know Gongsun Zan very well, there was one thing, Jiangdong and Youzhou had nothing to do with each other. He didn't think Jiangdong had Gongsun Zan's unconditional trust Ability.

"Hey, reckless, you recklessly watch."

Gongsun Zan naturally knew the doubts in Sun Quan's heart, but he had his own opinions. He was really not afraid of Jiang Dong's refusal, so he made a generous gesture.

First, he and Jiangdong are now considered an alliance, and he believes that Jiangdong will not destroy the relationship between the two parties for the food of eight thousand stones.

Second, Jiangdong borrowed troops for Liaodong, and Liaodong was by his side. A running monk would not be able to run away from the temple. If Jiangdong reneged on his debt, the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses he lent out were not vegetarians. Enough for Jiangdong to land in Liaodong, all the soldiers and horses were wiped out.

"Okay, the matter of borrowing troops has been decided in this way. If the [-] elite soldiers don't go by land, there will be warships from Jiangdong, crossing the sea area of ​​Liaodong, and landing from Fang County, Liaodong. The food will be delivered to Jiangdong within half a month. Nothing less."

"no problem!"

The two of them had already reached an agreement, so after the matter of borrowing troops was confirmed, the lobby began to be lively. Compared with borrowing troops, forming an alliance is a major event.

"The alliance between Jiangdong and Youzhou is beneficial to both of us."

……

"Mr. Quan, the establishment of the port, I only see that it is beneficial to you. What good is it for us?"

……

"The exchange of needs between the two places, the passage of caravans, and the trade of goods between Jiangdong and Beidi can make us strengthen each other."

……

"Jiangdong's warships can sail across the sea. Since we are allies, can we sell the warships to us?"

"Of course, but the cost of warships is extremely high, so think twice."

……

Sun Quan alone, for the benefit of Jiangdong, fought with all the heroes. From the morning to the afternoon, the two sides discussed and argued carefully. After the details of the alliance, they formally exchanged documents and formed an alliance in Jicheng.

Although this time the covenant is actually not very formal and not stable, but there is no direct conflict of interest between the two parties, and the North-South alliance is still very interesting.

Moreover, the alliance this time is an alliance between the two top princes in the world, and its existence is of great significance. You must know that the combined forces of Jiangdong and Youzhou can't be stopped by anyone.

------------

At this moment, the battle in Pingguo City has reached a feverish stage. In order to make a quick victory, Liaodong fierce general Gao Lie braved the snowy weather and invested heavy troops from the beginning to attack directly.

"Kill, break open the city gate, the ladder, ride the ladder, kill them, don't give them a chance to breathe!"

Gao Lie stood at the bottom of the city, shouted and shouted, and stormed for three days, but still failed to capture Pingguo, his heart was already frenzied.

He and Sun Ce fought three times, but Sun Ce relied on the innate terrain of the city wall to forcibly knock him down, making it difficult to advance.

"Block it, the ladder on the left is coming up, hit someone down."

The city wall of Pingguo was originally not high. Facing the fierce Liaodong soldiers, under the leadership of Sun Ce, the tiger soldiers and Xuzhou soldiers fought to the death on the top of the city. Broken leg, bright blood.

"My lord, it's not good. A gap in the east city has been breached. Hundreds of soldiers from Liaodong County have already entered the city." A warrior who got out of the car hurried to report.

"What?" Sun Ce picked off a Liaodong County soldier who had already climbed up with a single shot. His eyes were furious, and he said in a cold voice, "Where are Mi Fang and Lei Ding? What are they doing? Even the eastern city wall can't be defended!"

"Bofu, the eastern city wall has not been repaired for many years. It is already fragile. It was attacked by the enemy's catapults. Even if it is broken, it is not surprising. No wonder they. I believe that Captain Mi and Lei Sima should lead their troops to resist. How about it, a certain leader A song of soldiers and horses, let's go and clean up the Liaodong soldiers who have entered the city!" Zhou Yu said in a low voice with a serious face, a silver armor on his body, and a sharp sword in his hand.

"Wait, Gongjin, we can't go on like this. If this goes on, even if Xuezhou's navy lands, Ping Guo may not be able to defend it. Even if it does, it will suffer heavy casualties."

Sun Ce took a deep breath, his eyes became sharper, staring at the soldiers of Liaodong County below the city like a flood, feeling a chill in his heart.

He underestimated these Liaodong soldiers and horses, resulting in heavy casualties today.

There is a huge difference between Liaodong and Jiangdong. Jiangdong is rich, while Liaodong is a poor land with bad waters. This is not just talk. The soldiers here are all elite soldiers with hard-covered physiques and are familiar with the ice and snow battle mode.

However, no matter whether it is the tiger soldiers under the car or the Xuzhou soldiers, even if they have overcome the acclimatization and fighting in the ice and snow, they still seem not used to it and cannot exert their due combat effectiveness, which caused the battle to be one-sided from the very beginning. .

"Now that we have revealed the truth, we must come up with a unique strategy to save the situation."

Now that there are a large number of casualties in the tiger soldiers and Xuzhou soldiers under the car, the entire defense line is already in jeopardy. Sun Ce knows that even if the navy lands, they may not be able to defend Pingguo.

"Bo Fu, you want to use offense as defense." Zhou Yu's eyes moved slightly, and he understood what Sun Ce meant.

"Can it work?" Sun Ce asked with hope in his eyes.

"Row!"

Zhou Yu stared at the Liaodong soldiers who kept rushing up, pondered for a long time, then gritted his teeth, and said, "Someone thought of a way to turn defeat into victory, but as the chief general, you may have to take extreme danger."
