System Blessing: The Young Master of the Dong Family and Diao Chan's Fate

Chapter 818

Sun Qian's words made everyone present take the matter seriously.

Is Jiangdong a good place?

It’s neither good nor bad, and it’s neither good nor bad.

Yangzhou was a very prosperous place in any dynasty after the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Especially after the migration of the elite to the south, the Jin Dynasty, which was in a corner of the country, completely boosted the local economy and culture.

After the Southern and Northern Dynasties and the Sui Dynasty, when the canal was connected, Yangzhou reached its first peak during the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

Later, the Southern Song Dynasty pushed it to a new peak.

But now, this place is vast and sparsely populated, and it is a semi-civilized place.

Otherwise, these people from Jiangdong would not have kept targeting Shanyue.

The disadvantages of Jiangdong are not just its sparse population and underdeveloped economy.

Another point is that the natural barrier of the Yangtze River has a fatal weakness.

Jingzhou!

Do you remember what Guan Laoer said?

That’s fine, if he crosses the river, I’ll cross the river too!

This is not bragging. By going down the river from Jingzhou, we can reach the Jiangdong base camp at the fastest speed.

Even though the current seat of Jiangdong is still in Wujun, it is only a few dozen miles away from the Yangtze River by land.

As the saying goes, I left Baidi in the morning among the colorful clouds and returned to Jiangling a thousand miles away in one day.

If Dong's army captured Jingzhou, with a large navy, they could reach Qu'a from Jiangxia within a few days.

Panic!

Everyone panicked!

From the calmness at the beginning to the panic now, it’s all because of this sentence: What will you do if Jingzhou is broken?

"Hahaha!"

"it is good!"

"well said!"

"Excuse me, sir, are you here on behalf of Liu Bei or Liu Biao?"

Sun Quan spoke, he knew that it was time for him to speak out.

"What is the difference?"

Sun Qian looked at Sun Quan in surprise.

"If you are here on behalf of Liu Bei, then you don't have much say."

"We can't continue discussing the issues we're discussing next."

"To express Jiangdong's stance of alliance with you, I will launch an attack on Hefei, thereby putting pressure on Dong's army."

Sun Quan looked serious and expressed his attitude.

In Sun Quan's view, Liu Bei, who was beaten like a stray dog, still refused to cooperate with him in playing cards.

You want to play with me, but you are not qualified.

So I can only make a call to Hefei to express my opinion. I can't control what happens in Jingzhou.

"Of course, I'm here on behalf of the King of Chu."

Sun Qian was not panicked and spoke immediately.

Of course he came on behalf of the King of Chu. After all, it was Liu Biao who sent him, and Liu Bei didn't let him come.

Since he understands it this way, there should be no problem, right?

"Hahaha!"

"Well, since you are here on behalf of Liu Biao, I will not be polite from now on."

"Resisting Dong is a major undertaking, and I support it on behalf of Jiangdong's civil and military officials. However, Liu Biao murdered my father, and as a son, I must avenge him both publicly and privately."

"However, considering that this is a critical period, I can put this matter aside for now, but I also need Liu Biao to give me an attitude."

"Otherwise, how can I be willing?"

Sun Quan laughed out loud, then spoke with a cold expression.

"I wonder how to express the attitude expressed by the general?"

Sun Qian bowed and asked.

"Jiang Xia!"

"I want Jingzhou to lend me Jiangxia temporarily."

"After all, when Jiangdong sends out its navy, we also need Jiangxia as a base."

Sun Quan's true intentions were revealed, and he immediately said what he and his brother Sun Quan had longed for.

Jiangxia is one of the western gates of Jiangdong.

Although Nanjun was equally important, he also knew that Liu Biao of Nanjun could not give it to him.

Therefore, Sun Quan had to settle for the next best option and said he would "borrow" Jiangxia.

With Jiangxia, Jiangdong's western defense will be significantly improved.

At that time, it will also prepare for future attempts to seize Nanjun and improve the Jiangdong defense system.

Sun Quan did not know military affairs, but his politics and tactics were remarkable, and he was even a leader among the second generation of the Three Kingdoms.

Even compared with the first generation of the Three Kingdoms, his political ability is not bad, and he is even a little stronger than Boss Liu.
