The Three Kingdoms

"Gan Ning?"

Sun Quan immediately understood that since Jin Yiwei handed over Gan Ning's information and evaluation to Sun Jian, Sun Jian has been coveting this peerless general with both civil and military skills.

Although Gan Ning once suffered Jiang Dong's defeat and Ling Cao lost a hand, but this also shows his ability, Sun Jian is thirsty for talents and has an open mind, so he naturally wants to recruit him.

Jin Yiwei was ordered to negotiate with Gan Ning, and it took some time. During this time, Gan Ning had already expressed his intentions to Jin Yiwei, and indeed intended to join Wu.

But now his Eight Hundred Jinfans are trapped in Xiling, and it is difficult to get out.

During this period of time, through Jin Yiwei's efforts and Gan Ning's own means, this matter had a new turning point. Huang Zu was persuaded by his confidant Su Fei, intending to send Gan Ning to Xiling.

Jin Yiwei is preparing for this opportunity, and Gan Ning is also grasping it.

The two parties had reached an agreement that as long as Gan Ning left Xiling, he would bring the [-] Jinfan Army and seek refuge in the State of Wu. Sun Jian asked Sun Quan to go to Chaisang to meet Gan Ning in person, which undoubtedly showed his importance to Gan Ning.

"I see, what does the other imperial decree say?" Sun Quan asked.

"This is the sacred decree, you can read it yourself!"

Lu Su stood up, took out a copy of the imperial edict from his sleeve, and handed it to Sun Quan, saying.

"So you asked me to go to Jingzhou as an envoy?"

Sun Quan took the imperial decree, spread it out directly, looked at it, and frowned slightly.

Now Wu and Chu are newly established, and the regions of the two countries are fully connected. The Jiaozhou and Jiangdong regions are adjacent to the southeast of Chu State. There can only be one overlord in the south, so the two countries must have a life-and-death battle.

However, Chu State is also a first-class prince in the world, and Liu Biao has not yet reached the age of old and weak, and the overall strength is not weak. Before Lu State was eliminated, Wu State did not want to go to war with Chu State so early.

The court thinks that it is better for the current state of Wu to have a good relationship with the state of Chu.

Although the two sides fought fiercely before, the two countries were not established, and the previous war did not affect the current relationship between the two parties.

Sun Jian was tempted and wanted to establish an ally relationship with Chu, so he sent someone to Jingzhou. Relatively speaking, the chief general of the mission had a certain status and could represent Sun Jian.

At present, only Sun Ce and Sun Quan have the qualifications. Sun Ce has been gaining momentum recently. He is determined to seize the crown prince and assist Pan Feng and Zhao Zilong in reforming the military system. Suppress him a bit, and hand over the task to the leisurely Sun Quan.

"Well, it took me a while to calm down. Can't they live a stable life?" Sun Quan sighed, looked at Lu Su, and said directly: "Zijing, even if we are willing to make friends with Chu, Liu Biao Will you be willing to stop fighting with us?"

"Junhou, this visit to Jingzhou, I guess the king means that you, as Zhongshan Academy, visit Lumenshan Academy, and then see Jingzhou's reaction."

Lu Su pondered for a while, and then explained in a low voice, saying: "The king wants the peace of Chu, but he is not asking for it. If Liu Biao is aggressive, Wu will not be so easy to talk to. We have enough strength to break into Chu, so this covenant is not so important, the most we want is to delay time!"

"I also know, when will the certain family leave?" Sun Quan shrugged. He understood Sun Jian's meaning. Wu Guo was established, and the ambition to unify the world came out, but the first one he had to deal with should be the Lu Guo Lu Bu .

Xuzhou was a heart problem for Sun Jian and Cao Cao. If Cao Cao wanted to deal with the Jin State in the north, he had to pull out the State of Lu. If Sun Jian wanted to conquer the State of Chu, he also had to take down the State of Lu.

"Report to the Lord, things are not so fast!"

Lu Su shook his head and said: "Although the king has decided the matter, I guess the court is still arguing about the relationship with the state of Chu, and it is necessary to test the reaction of the state of Chu. It will take at least ten years for this to happen. At the end of January, the imperial decree was issued to make you prepare in advance, after all, if you went to Jingzhou as well, someone will definitely jump out and provoke you, you represent the state of Wu, and every word and deed is the state of Wu's bearing and majesty."

"Then I have to prepare well. Jingzhou is a land of outstanding people, and the atmosphere of literati has been very strong since ancient times. This Marquis really can't lose the face of Wu Guo."

Sun Quan's eyes were clear, and he was actually looking forward to going to Jingzhou.

Wolong!

Phoenix chick!

Mr. Shui Jing, who single-handedly raised the crouching dragon and phoenix chicks!

In the outstanding Jingzhou, there are still many people that he wants to meet.

[Main text chapter 311 Pang Tong's decision]

(I want to hear more of your voices, I want to receive more of your suggestions, search and pay attention to the WeChat public account "qdread" now, and give more support to "Three Kingdoms: Zhongmou Tianxia"!) , so the reign title of the Great Han Dynasty was completely abolished. In today’s world, there are kings but no emperors, and dynasties have no reign titles. Later generations call this era without a reign title the second Warring States era.

In 195, which is the beginning of the second Warring States era, people from all countries use the Warring States as their year name.

In the first year of the Warring States Period, in November, Jinling City has entered the early winter season.

In Jinling this year, the temperature in the early winter is not very cold, and there has been no snowfall yet, and the projects in various places are still in progress.

This huge city was originally built with the independent funds of the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce, but when it became the capital of the Wu Kingdom, the Jiangdong family and the powerful people from all over Jiangdong were somewhat unwilling to let the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce dominate.

After all, building the capital of a country is a kind of glory for anyone, a kind of glory that can make one's family and one's name pass on for generations.

Therefore, at the court, the ministers of several major families and factions directly proposed to King Sun Jian that they were willing to use their own financial resources to invest in the construction of Jinling and speed up the construction of the capital.

Sun Jian didn't have to think about such a good thing at all, and agreed without saying a word.

Afterwards, many Jiangdong aristocratic families and powerful families from all over the world began to invest manpower and financial resources in the establishment of this city. At the same time, they took this opportunity to bring their influence to the capital.

Jinling City instantly became a sweet pastry, but the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce had already drank the first sip of soup, and Sun Quan was standing behind them, and they were not afraid that their credit for investing in the construction of the city would be embezzled, so they did not object to the powerful Jiangdong family. On the contrary, because of their investment in manpower and material resources, the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce collectively freed up a lot of financial resources and began to continuously develop itself.

With the dual support of the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce and the tyrannical family of the Wu Kingdom, this capital city is changing with each passing day. In October, the thirteen gates of Jinling City have begun to enter the final stage of completion. The construction of the house is also gradually entering the finishing work in the later stage.

In this city, the last project left now is to build the city wall.The large-scale construction of this project has also begun.

The city wall is lingering, and then the city gates are completely connected to form a city. The construction of the city wall is definitely a long and great project.

Especially the scale of Jinling, where four layers of city walls encircling the imperial city, palace city, capital city, and outer country are formed from the inside to the outside, winding for 38 kilometers, and the outer city wall is more than 60 kilometers.

It can be said that in today's world, the largest city wall, even the intact Chang'an and Luoyang are definitely not comparable.

----------

The Qinhuai River, this Huaihe River flows continuously, the area here has gradually become the center of the Jinling City's business district, and boats coming and going occupy this river, on both sides of the river, The wharves established one by one stand in forests.

The largest market in Jinling today, the Qinhuai River Market, is even more lively and prosperous. The flow of people here has already surpassed that of the first Nancheng city market built.

A young man in a green robe and a turban on his head got off a passenger ship and walked onto the pier. He looked at this bustling market and felt a little sighed in his heart.

"The prosperous Jinling is definitely the number one capital in the world today!"

Although there are many vassal states in the world today, in his eyes, there are not many capitals of vassal states that can compare with the majesty and prosperity of this Jinling City.

"Old man, please, give me a copy of Jiangdong Daily!"

He walked into the Qinhuai River Market, then walked to a newspaper stand, took out five copper coins, and said.

After leaving for a few months, the changes that Jinling City gave him made him feel like he had never been here before, especially these small stalls.

"My lord, please take your newspaper. Now Jiangdong Daily has reduced the price, only four dollars." The old man looked up at this obviously ugly young man, just took the four dollars, and said with a smile.

The Jiangdong Daily is firmly at the top of the public opinion circle in Wu, but recently some newspapers came to provoke them, saying that it competed with several major newspapers for market share, gritted its teeth, and lowered the price by a little.

"Old man, when are these newspapers? Is it also Jiangdong Daily?" The young man picked up a copy of Jiangdong Daily, his eyes moved slightly, and he looked at the newspapers around him, a little puzzled.
