    The Qiao family now has a very high reputation in Jiangdong. Not only did Qiao Guolao's two daughters, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, marry Sun Ce and Zhou Yu respectively, but more importantly, they greatly supported the Sun family.

    Although Sun Ce is dead and Sun Quan is in charge of Jingzhou, the old ministers in Jingzhou respect Qiao Guolao very much, so Sun Quan does not dare to neglect him.

    "Elder Guo, Da Qiao is my sister-in-law, and Xiao Qiao is Gong Jin's wife. How can I ignore it? I am so anxious now! I am thinking of countermeasures every day. Today I have transferred Zijing back from Yuzhang.  Prepare to discuss countermeasures with Zibu and Yuantan." After hearing what Qiao Guolao said, Sun Quan hurriedly said, "Since mother and Qiao Guolao are here, let's discuss it together."

    "Thank you, Marquis Wu!"

    "Report to the Marquis of Wu, Lu Su, Gu Yong, and Zhang Zhao are asking for an audience!" At this moment, the soldiers came to report.

    It turns out that when Sun Quan gave the order, the three of them were already outside the gate of the mansion.  Sun Quan recalled Lu Su, and he naturally understood that important matters must be discussed.

    "Quick, let them in!"

    "No!"

    Soon, the three of them arrived at the main hall.

    "See you, my lord, my lady, my father!" The three of them saluted Sun Quan, Wu Guotai and Qiao Guo.

    "Zhongmou, we are allies with Jingzhou, and your sister is also married to Liu Cong. Why do you break the alliance and send troops to Jingzhou again and again?" Seeing these important officials from Sun Quan coming, Wu Guotai did not save any face. Since Sun Quan sent troops,  He was never happy.  Although Sun Quan promised at that time not to kill Liu Cong after destroying Jingzhou.  But Wu Guotai knew that when the time came, no one could control the outcome.  It's good now that he was defeated and his daughter-in-law and grandson were trapped in the enemy's country, which was embarrassing.

    "Mother, this this moment and that moment" Sun Quan was really speechless. If he won this battle, he could find no excuses?  But now it is a disastrous failure!

    "The ancients said that if a person has no faith and does not know what he is capable of, who wanted to send troops in the first place? Shouldn't he be punished for his crime?" Wu Guotai's tone became more severe.

    "Mother¡­¡­"

    "Old madam, please calm down!" Zhang Zhao saw that Sun Quan was speechless and hurriedly came out to rescue him. "The matter has reached this point. There is no point in pursuing it any further. You should think of countermeasures now!"

    "Yes, what Zibu said makes sense. Now let's find a way to save my two daughters." Qiao Guolao was concerned about Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao. As for whose idea it was to send troops, it had nothing to do with him.

    "Zhongmou, if my daughter-in-law and grandson can come back safe and sound, this matter can be dropped. If not, you must give me an explanation!" Wu Guotai's anger has not subsided.

    "Yesyes" Sun Quan nodded repeatedly.

    "Elder Guo, let's go back!" Since Sun Jian's death, Wu Guotai had never interfered in any government affairs. Now that she knew Sun Quan wanted to discuss countermeasures, she said.

    "Okay" Qiao Guolao also nodded and left the hall with Wu Guotai.

    "My lord, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao have been sent to Luoyang. The governor is in serious condition!" The expression on Gu Yong's face was painful and helpless.

    "What is the loss of our troops and horses?" Sun Quan asked Lu Su.

    Lu Su looked at Sun Quan and felt a little disappointed in his heart.  Zhou Yu worked hard for Jiangdong's hegemony and made great contributions. Now, Xiao Qiao is trapped in the enemy's country and Zhou Yu is seriously ill. However, the lord Sun Quan does not seem to have any worries. He only cares about his own soldiers and horses.

    "Lord, in the battle with Jingzhou, the four armies lost a total of 30,000 troops and horses, and there are still 50,000 left. Ten thousand were stationed at Sanjiangkou, 10,000 were stationed at Yuzhang, and 10,000 were stationed at Guangling. The remaining 20,000  They are all in Wu County."

    "Thirty thousand losses?" Sun Quan was a little surprised. It was originally a smooth battle, and the whole situation was extremely beneficial to them, but he didn't expect it to end like this.

    "The hundreds of thousands of Shanyue people who moved to the four counties of Jingnan will never come back!" In order to achieve hegemony in troubled times, the common people are very important. In a period of rapid population reduction, hundreds of thousands of people are not a small number.

    "Thencan we still fight with Jingzhou?" Sun Quan asked.

    "Lord, we not only lost 30,000 troops and horses in this battle, but more importantly, we consumed a lot of food and grass, and most of the governors were seriously ill." Gu Yong shook his head, "Judging from the current situation, we are no longer able to fight anymore.  Got it!"

    "What should we do?" From the bottom of his heart, Sun Quan didn't want to fight anymore. He had already retreated to Wu County. If he fought again, what would be the result?

    "My lord, Liu Cong is preparing to proclaim himself king in Luoyang. We sent envoys there to congratulate him and to make peace with them."They formed allies to fight against Cao Cao.  "

    "Liu Cong is going to be king?" Sun Quan felt extremely unbalanced. Cao Cao became king because he had conquered the entire north. Liu Zhang became king. He was a member of the Han Dynasty and had been running Yizhou for many years.  Moreover, Liu Yan had the idea of ??proclaiming himself emperor when he was in Yizhou.  But Liu Cong

    "Today Liu Cong has become the second largest prince in the world. He is also the direct descendant of Guangwu. He has taken over the imperial capital Luoyang. It is natural for him to become the king!" Lu Su was not surprised by Liu Cong's proclaiming the king. "My lord, we  From now on, we must form an alliance with Liu Zhang, not Liu Cong."

    "Alliance with Liu Zhang?"

    "With the current situation in the world, Cao Cao is holding the emperor to order the princes not to compete with him. Liu Cong occupies the imperial capital Luoyang, and also has Jingzhou, Yuzhou, Liangzhou, private and other places, which are enough to fight against Cao Cao. Only by forming an alliance with Liu Zhang can we  Form a tripartite force with them and contain each other, otherwise they will be defeated individually!" Lu Su analyzed.

    "My lord, what Zijing said makes sense!" Gu Yong also agreed with Lu Su's words.

    "Hmm" Sun Quan nodded, "I wonder who would be suitable to send to Yizhou?"

    "Zhang Wen can go!" Zhang Zhao said.

    "But Zhang Huiru, the rumored talented scholar from Wu County?"

    "Exactly!"

    "Okay, Zibu, let Zhang Wen go to Yizhou immediately!"

    "No! My lord, Chaisang is very important to us. Now Gan Ning is stationed there with an army of 15,000 people. It is almost impossible for us to seize it. Therefore, my subordinates thought that we could use Jiaozhou in exchange!" Zhang Zhao added  .

    "Jiaozhou?" Sun Quan shook his head, "Will Liu Cong agree?"

    Chaisang is just a county, while Jiaozhou is a state. In terms of area, it is much larger than Chaisang, but in terms of importance, it is not as important as Chaisang.  Even Sun Quan would not agree to the exchange, let alone Liu Cong?

    "If Liu Cong doesn't agree, we can add some conditions!"

    "What else can we add?" Gu Yong also shook his head, "Sanjiangkou, Chibi, Lujiang, Kuaiji, Wujun, Guangling, none of these places can be given!"

    ¡°It¡¯s not the place, it¡¯s the people!¡±

    "Human?" Sun Quan was very puzzled.

    "Liu Cong is young and lustful, Da Qiao, and Xiao Qiao have fallen into the hands of the enemy. Even if they are rescued, I'm afraid" Zhang Zhao saluted Sun Quan, "Why don't we just give them to Liu Cong" (Remember this site  Website: www.hlnovel.com
