Chapter 3679： :pressure

These results are exactly what Sun Quan wants to see. On the premise that the war can be avoided, letting the war calm down as soon as possible is conducive to Sun Quan's rule in Jiangdong.

Sun Quan can feel the fluctuations in Jiangdong's popularity. At the most critical moment of this battle, what choices will Jiangdong officials have? Will the seemingly stable Jiangdong be that simple?

The aristocratic family can charge forward at all costs for the benefit of the family in which they belong. This is also a true portrayal of the aristocratic family. They can be preserved for the benefit of the family. The so-called loyalty is nothing but a passing moment. Therefore, people can get more benefits.

The Sun family was also one of the powerful families in Jiangdong, but after Sun Quan became the emperor, the Sun family became an existence beyond all the family. Even though the Jiangdong family had many small actions in the dark, they did not dare to ignore Sun Quan’s attitude. Sometimes only a single order from Sun Quan can wipe out their family. This is the absolute authority of the monarch.

The same Sun Quan did not dare to be too presumptuous when dealing with the family. He needed the help of the family. It is very necessary for more families to stand on his side at critical moments, even Jiangdong’s stability. It is the most dangerous if it can't be guaranteed.

To appease the aristocratic family, so that the aristocratic family can stand on the side of the monarch at a critical moment. When the Jiangdong army is fighting against the Jin army, it can avoid more worries. The army lieutenant does not need to worry about the unsustainable food and grass. It is also important .

More rice and grains are now in the hands of the family. This is the biggest factor affecting the Jiangdong army’s battle with the Jin army. Sun Quan’s exploitation of the family has not stopped and will not get better benefits from the family’s hands. The situation is even more unfavorable.

The Jin army has a big gap in water warfare compared with the Jiangdong army, but the gap between the Jiangdong army and the Jin army in number is the biggest problem.

Sun Quan didn't want to recruit more troops in Jiangdong, but the current situation in Jiangdong decided that after recruiting more troops from Jiangdong, the pressure on the treasury would increase, and there was a shortage of sufficient money and food in the treasury.

Before the Jin army sent troops, there was a lot of containment on Jiangdong merchants, which made it difficult for Jiangdong merchants to get more benefits. Then it was the monarch who was affected. The monarch lacked more taxes. How can the army get more support?

There is a lot of gap between Jiangdong merchants and Jin's merchants, which is also the main factor affecting the development of Jiangdong merchants.

There are many dangers for Sun Quan to quietly attack the aristocratic family. To make the aristocratic family pay a certain price, there must be enough excuses. You must know that the aristocratic family’s methods are not so simple. They are secretly united and their forces are intertwined. , After secretly uniting, it has a great influence, even if it is a monarch, in some cases he dare not fight against too many families.

Getting more benefits from the hands of the aristocratic family is the same as killing the members of the aristocratic family, except that Sun Quan has no retreat in this battle. If the army cannot be given more protection when fighting, how can he fight? How can we repel the army of the Jin country if we win in China?

All these pressures were on Sun Quan alone. If there were other choices, Sun Quan would not hesitate too much. He could not let Jiang Dong be lost in his hands. For Jiang Dong, Sun Quan made a lot of efforts.

When Sun Ce was in Jiangdong, Jiangdong was strong on the surface, but it was not. Jiangdong’s small geographical disadvantages can be best manifested during the battle. After Sun Quan took control of Jiangdong, he was committed to making Jiangdong more stable. .

Although Sun Quan's strategy has achieved certain results, Jiangdong's background has been consumed even more in the battles.

Once the war started, the impact on a country would be great. More pressure from food and grass and the victory or defeat of the army fell on Sun Quan.

Even so, after Sun Quan took control of Jiangdong, many officials in Jiangdong were dissatisfied. Jingzhou was lost from Sun Quan, and Guangling County, Jiujiang County, and Lujiang County were also lost, which weakened Jiangdong’s strength to a greater extent. For Jiangdong's stability, he even had to make a peace move.

Bowing down and proclaiming ministers is the greatest humiliation to a monarch. Even so, Jin did not let the Jiangdong army go at this time. After breaking Jiangdong, Lu Bu would be able to create a new era.

In the face of such temptations, it is hard to refuse any monarch. It is Sun Quan's lifelong dream to become the lord of the world. Today, Sun Quan's dream can only become a comprehensive protection for Jiangdong this For Sun Quan, it was not a failure, but everyone in Jiangdong was able to surrender to Jin at the last moment. Only he could not. He was the emperor of Wu. Even after taking refuge, he would definitely suffer the fate of being under house arrest. Just like Liu Cong and Liu Qi, even his family also endured this fate.

This was the case for the descendants of Cao Cao when he was in Chang'an. In the past, Cao Cao was also one of the princes who frightened the world, and his strength was beyond doubt.

At night, Sun Quan returned to the bedroom slightly exhausted.

Sun Quan’s willingness to let go of the envoys of the Jin country showed the tolerance of the monarch, but it did not mean that other officials in Jiangdong would have such a recognition. Among Jiangdong’s aristocratic families, there were many who had hatred with Lu Bu, and the demise of their family. They have a great relationship with Lu Bu. If it weren’t for Lu Bu’s words, they would not have to leave their original city to come to Jiangdong. They did not have the slightest affection for Lu Bu, and even moved their anger to the envoy of the Jin country. Extenuable.

These aristocratic families were also worried that Sun Quan would not be able to withstand such a huge pressure at the last moment. If Sun Quan relied on Jin, the situation of these aristocratic families would be embarrassing.

And such aristocratic families have unconditional support for Sun Quan. They hope that Sun Quan can lead them to victory and reverse the current situation.

Now the envoy of the Jin country lives in the city. If the envoy of the Jin country is allowed to die at this time, it will inevitably make the Jin country's face greatly damaged, make Lu Bu angry, and make Sun Quan and Jiangdong's courtiers stand completely. The opposite of Jin.

Sima Yi's residence was placed in the inner city. The inner city was where officials of the Wu Kingdom lived. However, all officials living in the inner city were persons of certain status and the inner city was also strictly guarded.
