The Three Kingdoms

And because of the smooth development of the Silk Road, in terms of commerce, Chang'an City has surpassed the prosperity of the capital Jinling.

This is the end point of the Silk Road. Most of the caravans from the Western Regions basically ended their business journey after arriving in Chang'an, and many caravans went west after replenishing enough supplies after passing through Chang'an.

This is not only the terminus of the merchants from the Western Regions, but also a starting point for the Central Plains caravans to go west.

In this way, Chang'an City is not only a place to attract merchants from the Western Regions, but also a transit point for caravans from various states in the Central Plains.

Chang'an City has undergone several expansions. In addition to maintaining the four bazaars in the city, east, west, north, and south, a huge bazaar with a mix of east and west trade was established outside the suburbs of the upper reaches of the Weishui River. It has become a place that all businessmen yearn for. .

Since the power of silk was fully opened up, the economy in the western part of the Central Plains has been developing rapidly, and commerce has risen. Many aristocratic families and local gentry left behind from the previous dynasty have begun to form caravans.

The huge benefits make people forget the status that merchants once represented.

After all, today's Great Wu Dynasty is more inclined to a capitalist economy.

The connection of a Silk Road is enough to make Chang'an City surpass Jinling City economically in just a few years. A huge city.

……

Weiyang Palace.

Pepper House.

It's almost April, and the weather is gradually starting to heat up as spring goes to summer. Sun Quan is wearing a sky blue thin robe with dragon patterns, a jade crown on his head, sitting on a soft chair, a pair of green eyes sparkling, holding a He is reading a book quietly.

He has returned to Central Plains from the west for more than two months.

But all this time he did nothing.

He is watching a play.

Watching a big drama where he personally ignited the fuse is also watching a good drama that already knows the outcome.

This scene is really good.

Sun Bofu is also worthy of being the little overlord of Jiangdong in history who can single-handedly lay down the foundation of Jiangdong. He is indeed courageous and capable. He did not expect to have the ability to separate the south in a short period of time.

He really underestimated him.

"Your Majesty, the army led by Commander Pan Feng is less than a hundred miles away from Chang'an!"

"Let them be stationed outside the city!"

"promise!"

Pang Tong nodded: "Also, according to news reports, the main forces of the second and third theaters have also returned from the east. At this time, they should have entered the southeast. I'm worried..."

"worry about what?"

"Commander He Qi naturally need not worry, he will never be used by Sun Bofu, but after all, Zhou Gongjin and Sun Bofu are sworn brothers and brother-in-law, if he leads the main force of the second war zone to Sun Bofu's side, then The troops in Sun Bofu's hands are already enough to compete with us!"

Pang Tong said in a low voice.

He looked at Sun Quan with some doubts in his eyes.

What he didn't understand was why Sun Quan would allow Sun Ce to develop step by step. If Sun Quan had stood up two months ago, even if Sun Bofu had ascended the throne and became emperor, he would have been pulled down in an instant.

"contend?"

Sun Quan shook his head: "He doesn't have this ability yet!"

He has already reminded Zhou Yu that if Zhou Yu wants to die with him, he can only fulfill them.

But Sun Quan believed that Zhou Yu was a wise man.

Besides, as long as he is still alive, no one can take this country from him. This is self-confidence, monstrous self-confidence.

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing. I heard that the eldest prince is preparing for his enthronement in Luoyang. He is going to become emperor and compete with Sun Bofu!"

"Enthronement?"

Sun Quan squinted his eyes when he heard this, "My son is really unwilling to be inferior to others. Sun Dong held my imperial decree to pass on the throne and dared not change it. He is courageous, but he still can't bear his temper!"

Sun Quan felt a little ashamed to cheat his son for a while.

But this is royalty.

Even his own son needs to be tested after all.

Unfortunately, Sun Sheng was still too impatient.

"What do we do now?"

"Tell Sima Lang to take him down, and then tell Li Wenyou to come see me!" Sun Quan said softly, "After all, he is my son, so I can't be cruel!"

He is still alive.

Whoever dares to ascend the throne must die.

"understand!"

Pang Tong nodded, and then stepped back.

"Ziyu!"

"Chen is here!"

"Go to the southeast, meet Sun Ce, and tell him that if he dies, Jiang Guogong's mansion will live. If he doesn't die, the blood of Jinling City will flow like rivers!"

Sun Quan stood up, put down the book in his hand, and gazed into the distance: "The one who should have jumped out has already jumped out. It's time to close the net, but I won't start killing people!"

"What about those local governors who have surrendered to Sun Bofu?"

Zhuge Jin asked in a low voice.

The governor of one side is a feudal official.

"Watch and deal with it!"

"I understand!"

Zhuge Jin followed the will and left.

"Brother, don't blame me for being ruthless, but one must be the same, I'm afraid I really can't keep you this time!" Sun Quan stood in front of the window, looking at the distant sky, talking to himself in a faint voice.

Some boundaries cannot be crossed.

Anyone who dares to step over will die.
