"Imperial Uncle Liu thought that he would need time to govern South County and Jingnan since he had just obtained them. Moreover, most of the soldiers under his command were surrendered soldiers, so he would need at least half a year to prepare his troops before he could start his expedition again.”
"Young General, you also know that Cao Cao now controls more than half of the world. If he is given half a year, he will be able to train 200,000 soldiers. The fat and Guangling lands are enough to give us a headache.”
At this moment, Xu Huang was guarding Xiangyang. The fat one was Zhang Liao, and the one guarding Guangling was Chen Deng.
The first two were one of the Five Generals, and the last one was also a civil official ranked in the top twenty of Cao Wei.
To be able to rank in the top twenty among Xun Yu, Xun You, Cheng Yu, Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, Sima Yi, Jia Xu…one could imagine how difficult it was to deal with.
Most importantly, the Chen Clan of Guangling was too powerful in that county. Unless they were all wiped out, it would be extremely difficult to eradicate them.
"But our Jing State has no food."
"When Cao Cao went south, he made the four counties of Jingnan submit to him with a single order and sent him a lot of money and grain. In order to appease the people of Jingnan, my father opened the granary to release grain.”
Seeing Liu Feng's distressed appearance, Lu Su almost believed it.
If he hadn't seen the brightly lit streets when he entered the city at night, with the Liu Family Tea House and the Liu Family Library hanging on them, he would have been fooled by Liu Feng.
" This year, the Shan Yue army has rebelled in River East. More than 100,000 soldiers have been fighting against the Shan Yue army for many years. In the Battle of Red Cliff, the Battle of Yiling, and the Battle of South County, our army has been stationed in Jiangxia. Now, we have to rely on the surplus food we have over the years to feed our soldiers…We can't afford to pay for it.”
Forget it!
Trying to act in front of me.
Liu Feng rolled his eyes. This Lu Su's eyes were slightly red as if he was about to cry.
Jan Did the state have no food?
Even if it was 1,800 years later, Yang…The state was also a vast wilderness, an important place for production, okay?
"I can get my father to agree to send troops to the Northern Expedition and help Dongwu contain the Xiangyang army and threaten Xiangfan.”
Lu Su took a sip of the tea and let out a long breath without saying a word.
"This place can be counted as 100,000 dan of grain.”
"Fifty thousand." Lu Su then looked at Liu Feng." There are too many battles in Yangzhou this year. In the Battle of Red Cliff, in order to confuse Cao Cao, we wasted a lot of money and food. We also need to spend money and food to settle the refugees who moved south. 50,000 dan is enough for Imperial Uncle Liu's troops to last for half a year.”
Lu Su meant that the five counties of the Jing State also had some grain reserves, right?
Liu Feng knocked on the table with one hand, wondering if he should play a big game.
Facing Lu Su's smile that was not a smile, pretending to be a good person, he suddenly gritted his teeth.
Forget it, I can't let this guy be too smug.
"Mr. Zijing, I have a plan that I have thought about for a long time. It might allow the East Wu to have the ability to conquer the world. I wonder if you can make a decision for the East Wu and exchange it with 300,000 dan of grain.”
Lu Su raised his eyebrows.
His heart skipped a beat. Could it be that his Viceroy Zhou Yu's strategy of splitting the world into two had been seen through by Liu Feng?
He couldn't be that monstrous!
"Young General, you should know that we are gentlemen's friends, so you can't lie.”
"Vice Governor, you can send someone back to ask Wu Hou.”Liu Feng stood up lazily and walked to the stern of the boat. He stood with his hands behind his back, his back facing Lu Su.
"I have plenty of time."
"I'm going to Guiyang to take over as the prefect of Guiyang. If you, Lu Zijing, aren't afraid of crossing mountains and rivers to come to such a remote place to find me.”
"Then let's settle this matter before I go south.”
"How long can Young General wait?"
"Seven days."
" Hu." Lu Su stood up abruptly, and the boat swayed.
"This is impossible. Even if we take the water route down the river to Jianye, a round trip would take at least ten days.”
"Then go and ask Chaisang and Zhou Yu.”
"Ask him if he can make the decision.”
After saying that, Liu Feng did not wait for Lu Su's reply. He called the boatman to the shore and walked towards the shore under Lu Su's bewildered gaze.
"A plan to conquer the world…in exchange for 300,000 dans of grain. Can this Liu Feng be trusted?”Lu Su muttered to himself. With a flick of his sleeves, he got off the boat and quickly followed Liu Feng into the city with his followers.
Regardless of success or failure, he had to give it a try.
