The Strongest Overlord of the Three Kingdoms

Sun Quan is a kind person, and he dare not imagine it anymore.

"Brother, I need the decision-making power of 80 gold for this mission. No matter what, I must bring Shang Xiang back."

Sun Ce was heartbroken for a while, but finally agreed.

"Zhongmou, I believe in your ability."

How do you make it look like you're bargaining?

Sun Quan sighed.

In order to build momentum for Sun Quan, Sun Ce lashed out at Yu Ji again.

Cao Cao is just lying down!

Before his mission, Sun Quan paid a visit to Zhou Yu.

Now Zhou Yu is really a busy person. As Sun Ce's right-hand man, he is too busy to touch the ground.

"Zhongmou, you need to see more of Yangzhou during this mission," Zhou Yu urged.

"Naturally, know yourself and your enemy." Sun Quan said.

"It's very good if you think about it this way. Although I am from Yangzhou, it has been too long since I left Yangzhou. However, under the governance of Dongyanghou, Yangzhou is changing with each passing day. I can only learn some things through the reports of the scouts. I am It's hard to believe that Yangzhou has developed so fast. So, this time, take a good look for me." Zhou Yu said.

"Understood." Sun Quan said.

In fact, not only Zhou Yu, Sun Quan was also very curious about how prosperous Yangzhou was.

Is it really a fairyland on earth?

Jingzhou and Yangzhou have always had trade relations, according to the views of Yangzhou merchants, it is true.

However, Sun Quan wanted to see it with his own eyes.

This time, he set off with two missions.

When Sun Quan mentioned 80 gold, Zhou Yu was silent for a long time, and said: "Zhongmou, you should know that the Marquis of Dongyang has expanded his army again, and the number has reached 120 million. We in Jingzhou need to protect ourselves, so we can only continue to strengthen our military."

The implication is that if you want money, you really don't have it.

Seeing Sun Quan's disappointed expression, Zhou Yu gritted his teeth and said, "It's not impossible to take it out, but I hope you can keep the 80 gold."

"Understood." Sun Quan cupped his hands.

In the end, Sun Quan left with a heavy heart.Sun Ce and Zhou Yu are the head of Jingzhou, so what they say is authoritative.

Is Jingzhou really poor?

it's not true.

Starting from Liu Biao, Jingzhou has been trading with Yangzhou for a long time, and is richer than Cao Cao's Sizhou.

However, there are too many places to spend money in Jingzhou.

If you are not in charge of your family, you don't know how expensive firewood is.

At first, Sun Quan planned to fly down the Yangtze River, but what can he gain by only looking at the ships?

So, he decided to go overland.

Yangzhou has always welcomed humble envoys.

As soon as Sun Quan entered Lujiang County, the prefect Lu Fan came out to greet him.

Sun Quan has a special status as Sun Ce's younger brother.

"The envoy has come from afar, thank you for your hard work." Lu Fan said.

"I'm causing trouble to Mr. Lu." Sun Quan cupped his hands and said.

Lujiang County is not well-known in Yangzhou, but its prosperity is much lower than that of Xiangyang.

Xiangyang is the seat of Jingzhou. Under Zhou Yu's careful construction, it has surpassed the past.

For this reason, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu had a conflict.

How should I put it, Sun Ce feels that war lies in people, not in things, and money should not be spent on building Xiangyang City.

But Zhou Yu believed that Xiangyang was their last retreat. If war broke out, they could still stick to it and wait for reinforcements from other princes.

"Is Sister She still in Lujiang County?" Sun Quan asked.

It was indeed handed over to Lu Fan at the beginning, but after such a long time, how could Lu Fan still keep this ancestor?

"Lujiang County is boring, Lingmei has already been sent to Dongyang City." Lu Fan said.

Although Sun Quan had to go to Dongyang City sooner or later, he still couldn't help feeling disappointed.

"Master Lu, please." Sun Quan said.

"It's nothing, it's just that you should have come earlier. Lingmei was very confident in you at first, but then..." Lu Fan said.

Sun Quan was ashamed.

He also wanted to come earlier, but he didn't have 80 gold, so what would he do?

"I'm busy with official duties, so I won't accompany the envoy," Lu Fan said.
