The Three Kingdoms

On the county magistrate's chair, Sun Quan sat up, his face a bit gloomy, looking at Xu Shu, his eyes turned cold.

Jiang Qin, one of the top generals in the Jiangdong Navy, is only inferior to Zhou Yu and Zhou Tai in the Jiangdong Navy. When it comes to commanding battles, he is more stable than Zhou Tai.

Although the main force of the Jiangdong Navy is basically placed on the surface of the sea, there is only one large fleet led by Louchuan on the Chaisang and Yangtze River waterways. The commander of this fleet is Jiang Qin. Jiang Qin has been in Chaisang these years , and the Jiangxia navy is not a collision, but it has always won more than lost.

"General Jiang Qin, he is indeed defeated!"

Xu Shu sighed, looked at Sun Quan, and said softly: "According to the battle report given to us by the General's Mansion, he entered Poyang Lake from Chaisang with a navy of [-]. The surprise attack on Xiling procrastinated, but his fleet was blocked by the main force of the Jingzhou navy, with [-] navies under his command, and more than half of them suffered casualties. "

"The process of this battle, is there any detailed process?" Sun Quan asked with a serious face, squinting his small amber eyes.

"Have!"

Xu Shu walked up, took out a document from his hand, handed it to Sun Quan, and said, "This is a copy of the battle process that Jiang Qin handed to the General's Mansion after he was defeated. He also specially reminded the General's Mansion to pay attention to one person. He basically It was defeated by an ordinary general of the opponent."

"Who?"

Sun Quan spread out the document and looked at it carefully, his brows suddenly became serious.

"Gan Ning!"

Xu Shu had already read the document carefully, and replied with a sigh, "This man is a bit strange. Judging from this battle, his martial arts and strategy are all top-notch, and Chaisang's guard Ling Cao was shot by him too." The arm was shot off, but... he and Huang Zu should not be of the same mind, otherwise, Chaisang could not survive Cheng Pu's rescue, and was already defeated, and General Jiang Qin was not defeated, but died in battle."

"Gan Ning?"

When Sun Quan heard the words, his heart moved slightly. He didn't expect it to be Gan Ning. This is the general he relied on most in history, Gan Ning, Gan Xingba.

The emperor of Soochow in history once said a word: Meng De has Zhang Liao, and Gan Xingba alone, they are invincible!

Zhang Liao was the head of Cao Wei's five good generals. He compared Gan Ning with Zhang Liao. It is conceivable that Sun Quan in history attached great importance to Gan Ning.

"It's only the fifth year of Chuping, and he appeared so soon?" Sun Quan was a little puzzled. If he remembered correctly, this fierce general was also a late bloomer. Jiang Xia, he stepped onto the stage of the world step by step.

"Huh! Jiang Qin, who he captured alive, actually released Jiang Qin in the end?" Sun Quan looked at the document, on which Jiang Qin clearly recorded the whole process of the battle, and finally mentioned that Gan Ning intended to spare his life of.

"That's right, isn't it a bit strange?" Xu Shu said.

"Not surprisingly!"

Sun Quan suddenly remembered something, his mind flashed, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said, "Looking at his background, it's not surprising."

"Original?"

"The Jinfan thief in Dongting Lake?"

Xu Shu saw that Jin Yiwei attached a piece of information on the document, his eyes lit up suddenly, and he said, "That's why the problem lies with Liu Biao. How could such a noble person like Liu Biao pay attention to a person who came from a bandit? In that case, Gan Ning It should be that you want to seek refuge in Jiangdong?"

"That's right, he has already given birth to the heart of seeking refuge in Jiangdong!"

Sun Quan closed the document, Amber's eyes sparkled brightly, and said: "Because both Liu Biao and Huang Zu care too much about their own reputations, they don't look down on people who come from thieves. They can be used, but they will never be reused." Yes, Gan Ning probably felt that no matter how much credit he made in Jingzhou, he would never get ahead, so he decided to rely on Jiang Dong and let Jiang Qin go, but he just wanted to test Jiang Dong's attitude."

"Then why did he offer advice to Huang Zu to besiege and kill Jiang Qin, and almost killed General Ling Cao to break Chaisang?" Xu Shu suddenly didn't understand.

"This is easy to analyze."

Sun Quan narrowed his eyes, flashed a shrewd light, and said, "Show your strength!"

"Show strength?"

"By the way, he will tell us about Gan Xingba's ability!" Sun Quan smiled and said, "Anyone who is capable has arrogance. His arrogance, and most importantly, he wants to see Jiang Dong's magnanimity."

"Then he did show amazing strength in this battle, and General Zhengdong's Mansion should pay attention to it." Xu Shu asked: "However, he let the lord Ai general Ling cut off his arm, and ruined Jiang Qin's thousands of marines. Will the guild consider recruiting him?"

"What we can see, the General Zhengdong's Mansion can also see. My father is not a narrow-minded person, so he will definitely!"

Sun Quan nodded, pondered for a moment, and said: "However, Gan Ning is also a person who values ​​righteousness, and he must not let go of his hundreds of brothers. Now he and Jiangdong are always separated by Jiangxia. If we want to recruit him, we must support him. Eight Hundred Brocade Fans under his command is not so easy."

"Zhongmou, in fact, we will attack Jiangxia sooner or later, since he can gain a foothold under Huang Zu's command, we can take him as a gap to enter Jiangxia." Xu Shu suggested.

"no!"

Sun Quan shook his head and said: "Gan Ning's background makes him extremely sensitive. If he doesn't feel Jiangdong's sincerity, he won't join Jiangdong. We would rather capture Jiangxia directly than let him be caught in the middle. It will chill his heart, and it will be difficult for him to give up on Jiangdong, so we must take him down before dealing with Jingzhou!"

"Huang Zu is not easy to deal with people." Hearing this, Xu Shu frowned.

"It's not difficult to deal with, because he looks down on Gan Ning!"

Sun Quan's eyes flickered brightly, and he said: "Jiangxia is Huang Zu's territory after all, so we can't make it clear, leave this matter to Jin Yiwei, they have roots in Jiangxia."

"Rohan."

Sun Quan immediately wrote a letter, sealed it with wax, and called his personal guards in.

"My lord!" Arhat bowed and saluted.

"You immediately send me a letter to Jin Yiwei, and hand it over to Commander Li."

"No!" Luohan took the envelope and rode away to Moling.

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

Time flies, and September comes in a blink of an eye.

In Moling in September, the sun is still burning like fire on the top of the sky, and the hot air makes people feel a sultry atmosphere, which makes the shirtless peasants sweat profusely in the midst of busy work.

Since the grain price war, Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce's ruthless sap has caused heavy losses to more than [-]% of the powerful families in Danyang. Basically, every family is licking their own wounds, and naturally they have no ability to suppress the development of Moling.

With no obstacles, Sun Quan officially began to flex his muscles and make great efforts in construction.

At the same time, because of the food price battle, countless merchants in Jiangdong saw a bright future. At present, the number of merchants in the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce is constantly increasing, and various merchants are somewhat desperate for Jiangdong Merchants, and they began to establish this one for Sun Quan. Xincheng fully invested.

Some Jiangdong chambers of commerce have strong financial resources, so Sun Quan naturally did not hesitate to expend and speed up. He recruited tens of thousands of people from all over the country. Fifty thousand mountains to come.

Today, there are nearly a dozen people living in the city, and the city is full of heat, day and night, brick by brick, bit by bit, so that the new city has formed a basic outline of the city wall.

To build a city, the first building is naturally the city wall.

For the surrounding walls of Jinling New City, Sun Quan used the Yingjing City Pool built here by Zhu Yuanzhang in the Ming Dynasty as a standard. In his previous life, he had archaeological brothers who excavated the history of Nanjing. He also participated in the collection when he had time. The information he remembers most is the Nanjing Ming City Wall.

The city wall of the Ming Dynasty was first built in the 26th (1366) year of Yuan Zhizheng, and completed in the 1386th year of Hongwu (21) of the Ming Dynasty. It took [-] years to form a four-fold city wall ring from the inside to the outside. The pattern is known as the first city wall of the family.

Sun Quan's courage is also big enough. He directly stepped over the work accumulated from the end of the Han Dynasty to the beginning of the Ming Dynasty.

Most of Zhu Yuanzhang’s construction of the city was reconstruction, because of the 1000 years of accumulation in the past, and most of the projects in the capitals of several dynasties were processing. Even so, it took him 21 years to build the Ming city wall that has been passed down for generations.

Today's Moling is just a small city, and its biggest foundation is the city wall built by Fan Li back then and the stone city built by the state of Chu later. On this foundation, to build this huge new city, the scale of the project has exceeded everyone's expectations Besides, including Sun Quan himself.

In terms of the overall structure of the new city planned by Sun Quan, it has completely surpassed the most majestic capitals of Chang'an and Luoyang. huge.
