Sun Ce took a few deep breaths to calm himself down, and then said, "How about soldiers?"

Chen Lin tidied up her clothes again. In fact, he was also very flustered. He was afraid that Sun Ce would lose control and cut him off with a sword.

Chen Lin said: "Let me just say, there are a group of wine bags and rice bags standing on the court hall. Seeing that my lord is going to make a mistake, no one stops me."

"Back then, when I was with Liu Jingsheng, his ministers offered advice and suggestions for the safety of the generals and soldiers, and provided money and food out of their own pockets. Alas, this country of Wu..."

The faces of all the ministers were flushed with anger, and the swords in their hands creaked.

This bastard must be killed when the transaction is completed.

Sun Ce suppressed the anger in his heart and asked, "You haven't said how to count the soldiers yet."

"Our army has always put benevolence and righteousness first, and every soldier can be taken back with ten stones of food."

"hiss!"

All the ministers took a deep breath, one soldier, ten stones of grain, then their 50 to [-] soldiers, don't they want [-] grains?

Although these grains are a drop in the bucket for them, they are still very clear about the principle of ebb and flow.

"Okay, I agree!" Sun Ce thought about it carefully and agreed to Chen Lin's suggestion.

"A total of 11 soldiers and 110 million shi of grain can be sent directly to Kuaiji County!"

"Where are there so many soldiers?" Sun Ce asked in horror.

Chen Lin smiled and said, "Does King Wu think that our Guo Jia military advisor is not as good as Jia Xu's military advisor?"

"What do you mean?" Sun Ce's eyelids twitched, but Jia Xu made him suffer.

But what does this have to do with Guo Jia, even if Guo Jia can strategize and win a decisive victory thousands of miles away...

I'm so stupid...

Could it be that Guangling County has been surrounded by the other party?

Seeing Sun Ce's strange expression, Chen Lin laughed and said, "King Wu, we have nearly 20 troops in Qingxu Erzhou. You don't think you can withdraw your [-] to [-] troops, do you?"

All the ministers were horrified. If Chen Lin didn't come today, what would they fight in the future?

But is Chen Lin's words really credible?Do you want to send someone to check it out?

But if it is true, when the other party is sitting on the ground and raising the price, wouldn't they want to vomit blood.

"I will take away the two princesses of the Wu Kingdom today, as a deposit, to show the sincerity of the King of Wu."

"..."

Chapter 451

After Chen Lin left with Sun Ce's two younger sisters, the faces of all the officials were extremely ugly.

Zhang Zhao said: "My lord, we abandon Wu County and need to find a safe place to establish the capital."

Zhang Hong reminded: "Danyang County is too close to Wu County and Guangling County, and it is extremely easy to be harassed by Cao Shuo's naval forces. Yuzhang County, the capital of the country, is the most suitable choice."

Yan Jian suggested: "Nanchang, the prefecture of Yuzhang County, has a superior geographical location and many natural barriers. We can establish a national capital in Nanchang."

Sun Ce thought for a while, Nanchang is indeed geographically superior, and it is relatively close to the Jiangnan Shipyard, there is nothing safer than this.

Sun Ce recalled several generals in Jiangbei and asked them to directly station in Danyang County.

The news that Sun Ce moved out of Wujun spread quickly throughout the Yangtze River. Neither Liu Biao nor Yuan Shu expected that Sun Ce, who seemed to be the strongest, would be defeated by Cao Shuo without any power to fight back.

Yuan Shu convened all the officials to discuss what they should do next, but Jiangbei was left alone, so he had to panic.

Yang Hong suggested: "Your Majesty, we must strengthen the defense along the Huaihe River here, and we must also unite with Sun Ce to prevent Cao Shuo's navy from entering the hinterland of the Yangtze River, or our army will be in danger."

Yan Xiang suggested: "After Cao Shuo's army took control of Guangling County and Wu County, the position of our Jiujiang County is a bit embarrassing. It is not easy for Shouchun to be the capital of the country again. Otherwise, Cao Shuo's navy can go up the Huai River directly. Invade Shouchun."

Yuan Shu's heart became even more flustered, and he asked you to discuss how to fight against Cao Shuo, but you actually said something that made everyone panic.

Yuan Yin said: "Don't worry, elder brother, with younger brother here, I will guarantee my longevity."

Yuan Shu ignored Yuan Yin, he didn't know how capable he was?I don't know how to die by relying on him to defend himself.

"When do you think the capital will be built there?"

Ji Ling said: "Hefei is located in the hinterland of Jiujiang County, and it is also close to Lujiang County, so it can be used as a capital."

"The minister waits for the second opinion!"

Sun Ce moved away from Wu County, which made Yuan Shu also want to change the capital. It was no longer safe here. Cao Shuo's navy was stronger than Sun Ce, so how could they not panic.

However, while Sun Ce was discussing moving the capital, Liu Biao in Jingzhou also summoned his ministers to discuss Sun Ce's moving the capital.

"My dear friends, Sun Ce was forced to move out of Wu County. Cao Shuo's navy can enter the Yangtze River, and it is very likely that they will fight against our three naval forces in the Yangtze River. What should we do?"

What Liu Biao said was rather cryptic. After all, Xiangyang City is their old foundation. Liu Biao is not from Jingzhou, so it doesn't matter where he moves.

But among the ministers, nearly [-]% are from Xiangyang, who have lived in Xiangyang for generations, and they will not move away from Xiangyang easily.

Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue could hear what Liu Biao meant. After all, Xiangyang was just across the river from Cao Shuo's Nanyang. If Cao Shuo's army suddenly sneaked in, Xiangyang would be in danger.

But moving the capital is not a trivial matter, it is related to many interests, and the people in Xiangyang may not support moving the capital, because in their eyes, whoever proclaims the emperor and who becomes the king does not mean much to them.

They just want to live here, as long as they can live in peace, even if they change kings every day, they won't say anything.

Kuailiang and Kuaiyue looked at each other, and Kuaiyue said: "Your Majesty, Xiangyang is the northernmost town in Jingzhou. Although it is surrounded by water on two sides and mountains to the west, it is too close to Cao Shuo, so it is very unsafe."

Kuai Yue will stop talking about it here, and the rest depends on other ministers, so as not to become the target of public criticism.

Cai Mao heard Kuai Yue's suggestion that Liu Biao move the capital, and immediately said angrily, "Yidu, what do you mean, you mean that His Majesty can't keep Xiangyang, let us move the capital like Sun Ce?"

Kuai Yue frowned, and then looked at the other ministers. This idiot would not understand. Could it be that your Cai family has a foundation in Xiangyang, and our Kuai family does not?

Right now, letting His Majesty sleep peacefully is the most important thing.

Han Song said: "Cao Shuo's navy defeated Sun Ce's navy and became the number one navy in the world. If we don't move to a suitable place, if Cao Shuo's navy breaks through the blockade and the army goes deep into the hinterland of the Yangtze River, who of us can do it?" resistance."

Cai Zhong sneered, "You mean, our navy is not as good as Sun Ce?"

When everyone heard this, they cursed thousands of times in their hearts, don't you know the fighting power of the Jingzhou navy?

If it hadn't been for so many years, being harmed by the three of you brothers, how could our navy lag behind Sun Ce, without any self-knowledge, and we have the nerve to question them.

However, since the Cai family disagrees with moving the capital, let His Majesty decide for himself, since His Majesty wants to move the capital anyway.

Liu Biao gave the Cai brothers a hard look, and then said, "The reason for moving the capital is not that we are weak, but because we want to find a dangerous place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so as to prevent Cao Shuo from sneaking in."

"My dear friends, express your opinions and help me choose a suitable place. If I am satisfied, I will reward you a lot."

When Cai He heard that he was rewarded, he immediately became interested. He suggested: "Why don't we move to Changsha, the location of Changsha is much more favorable than Xiangyang."

All the ministers cast contemptuous glances one after another, does your Cai family still have any sense of propriety, righteousness and shame? It has changed so quickly.

Cai Mao frowned and said: "Moving the capital rashly will lose the hearts of the people. Please think twice, Your Majesty."

Liu Biao thought to himself, do you understand what I mean, if Cao Shuo captures Xiangyang, you can surrender, what about me?

Cao Shuo wished that I would die sooner, and this would not have much impact on you at all.

[I have something to do today, I will post a chapter first, and the rest will be updated in the evening]

Chapter 452 Let Lu Bu teach him how to play halberd first

"My lord, Sun Ce's army has withdrawn from Wu County!"

Chen Lin handed over all the materials that Sun Ce handed over to Cao Shuo. Cao Shuo looked at them and said, "Huaiji County has already been integrated with Guangling County in Wu County, so we don't have to worry about the shortage of materials in the future."

Xun You said: "After Sun Ce suffered a loss this time, he will definitely wait for an opportunity to retaliate. We should take precautions before it happens."

Liu Ye said: "There is only Yuan Shu left in Jiangbei. When spring comes next year, we can use troops against Shouchun and drive Yuan Shu out of Jiujiang and Lujiang counties. We can plan to rule the river with Liu Biao and Sun."

Of the three Yangtze alliances, Yuan Shu is the weakest. He has no generals and no advisers. He only needs to send a brave general who is good at fighting and a strategist, and Yuan Shu can break through within a month.

Cao Shuo looked at the counselors and began to think seriously.

Guo Jia must be recalled, his illness can't be delayed any longer, if one day he dies suddenly, wouldn't it be a big loss for him.

Moreover, Xuzhou and Yangzhou don't need two top counselors, there is Jia Xu alone, and another one is enough to assist him.

There are too many generals in Yangzhou, and a few must be recalled, and there are almost not enough for him.

Cao Shuo looked at Xi Zhicai and said, "Zhicai, send someone to inform Guo Jia, Huang Zhong, Yan Liang, and Zang Ba to return to Luoyang."

"For the time being, Xuzhou Shepherd will be handed over to Tang Mao, and Wu County and Kuaiji County will be merged into Xuzhou first. After we destroy Yuan Shu, we will send another Zhou Shepherd to Yangzhou."

"Gan Ning is the commander of the navy, and Lu Jun, Kan Ze, Zhou Tai, Jiang Qin, Dong Xi, and Ling Cao are assisted, and moved the water village to Wu County."

"promise!"

Xun Yu stood up and said: "My lord, there is a sudden blizzard in Youzhou, which has been rare for hundreds of years. It has already affected the normal life of the people in Youzhou. Tian Feng wants the imperial court to send some laborers to Youzhou to help clear the snow. .”

Cao Shuo looked surprised, how much snow did he have to send someone else to clean it up?

He thought about it carefully and said, "Let the [-] recruits we just recruited go to exercise."

"promise!"

Cao Shuo looked at Xia Houyuan and said, "Is Dong Zhuo doing anything lately?"

Xia Houyuan explained: "There is no movement for the time being, and it's snowing in Xiliang, and it's not light. They encountered the same situation as Youzhou."

"Zhen Yan, you asked Longteng Chamber of Commerce to transport the fine salt to Yongzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Hanzhong and other places, and sell it at a very low price. I want all the salt merchants in these areas to sell our fine salt."

"promise!"

Since ancient times, salt and iron have been the destiny of the country. As long as he can control the salt merchants in Dong Zhuo's territory, it will be much easier to sanction Dong Zhuo in the future.

If they cut off their salt supply, they will have a big head by then.

The current method of refining fine salt is only known to them by the Longteng Chamber of Commerce. Once they get used to fine salt, they no longer want to eat coarse salt.

It is cold in winter and it is not easy to send troops, but the caravan cannot be idle.

Xun You said: "Your Majesty, since Dong Zhuo and Liu Bei formed an alliance, Ma Teng's situation is very worrying. Although Wudu County has Ma Chao and Fazheng guarding it to the death, Liu Bei cannot break through."

"But Beidi County and Anding County are very critical. No one under Ma Teng's men can resist Yan Xing's bravery. After being attacked by Yan Xing several times, he has already retreated to Gaoping City. If it weren't for the heavy snow, I am afraid that these two counties would have already died. lost."

Cao Shuo thought about it, Yan Xing was also a general, but he only bullied Ma Teng a little bit, if Ma Chao was around, he really couldn't do it.

Ma Chao was dragged in Wudu County by Wei Yan and Zhao Yan's army, and was temporarily unable to support Ma Teng.

If Ma Teng is defeated by Dong Zhuo, then he and Liu Bei will have to deal with themselves.

I really feel sorry for them for not giving them some fun.

"Mi Zizhong, send someone to Xiliang to see if Ma Teng needs equipment, and sell them a batch of the fifty pieces of armor that we eliminated, and exchange them for some Xiliang BMWs!"

Mi Zhu replied, "I'll let Mi Fang go there immediately!"

After finishing court, Cao Shuo came to the harem. Chen Lin brought back two beauties for him, but he hadn't enjoyed them yet.

"Husband, I want to go home for a few days!"

As soon as Cao Shuo walked into the harem, he met Lu Wen. Looking at her growing belly, Cao Shuo said with concern, "What are you doing at home? You have to pay attention to your body now."

Lu Wen said with a dark face: "My father hasn't expressed his opinion until now. I will persuade him again. If he does not express his attitude, I will stay in Lu's residence and let him take care of his grandson in the future."

"Okay, I'll send someone to take you there."

It has been nearly a month since Lu Bu moved to Luoyang. Lu Wen persuaded him many times to let him work for him. As a result, Lu Bu kept using his injuries as an excuse and refused to put on his shirt again.

If Lu Wen can really persuade Lu Bu to join him, then he will have another strong general by his side. As for his loyalty.

Without counselors to assist and generals to follow, he would not believe that Lu Bu dared to play the role of a bare-bones commander.

Even a fool understands that there is no future with Lu Bu.

Cao Shuo first went to Diao Chan's place to look at Cao Jie, "Chan'er, what are you doing, Jie'er is only one year old, and you let him lift dumbbells?"

Diao Chan smiled and said, "Husband, it has nothing to do with me, he played with it himself."

"No way, this is a [-]-jin dumbbell..."

Cao Shuo was completely dumbfounded, did Diao Chan give birth to Li Yuanba for herself?

"My son is just like his father. He is born with supernatural power. He will never be weaker than you in the future. Hurry up and find some good masters for me."

Diao Chan hugged Cao Yu with a smile on her face and sat in Cao Shuo's arms.

"Let Lu Bu teach him how to play the halberd first!"
