Chapter 283 Donato is born(2/2)
Zhang Zhao believed that Jiangdong had economic problems after issuing large-denomination copper coins. So Li Qi, as an advocate of large-denomination copper coins, wouldn't there be economic problems? This time Li Qi's strike is likely to be followed by
After years of war, the economic decline in Jing and Yi states is related. Now that the peace agreement is reached, Li Qi will definitely recuperate and revitalize the people's livelihood and economy, and will be slack in armaments. We can launch a sudden attack to catch them by surprise and attack them unprepared.
The four southern counties can be defeated in one fell swoop.
Although this kind of thing is immoral, it has always been the case since ancient times.
I recall that after Emperor Gaozu signed the Chaos Chao Peace Treaty with Xiang Yu, didn't he unilaterally tear up the peace treaty and attack Xiang Yu when he was unprepared?
However, after four hundred years of Han deception, Gaozu is still the object of admiration for all generations. When the world mentions Xiang Yu, most people just sigh.
Sun Quan slowly put away his books and silk, thinking for a long time.
The four counties in Jingnan are the most important part of the "Cot Strategy". After it is implemented, they can attack the world when they advance, and they can defend the river when they retreat. The importance to Jiangdong Group is self-evident.
So, should we be a pioneer and be admired by future generations, or should we be an honest loser and be regretted by future generations?
Sun Quan seems to have the answer.
Sun Quan appointed Cheng Bing as an envoy to visit Li Qi in Jiangling on the grounds of alliance against Cao Cao.
This move can paralyze Li Qi's heart, and secondly, he can find out Li Qi's troop deployment and strength, and then wait for the opportunity to act.
At this time, Li Qi and Ma Chao had already formed an intention to marry and were preparing related matters.
After Cheng Bingdao made his intention clear, Li Qi said: "You have also seen that Cao and Sun and I have stopped fighting, but it is actually for the sake of the inheritance of the Li family. As for joining forces to defeat Cao, we can discuss it after I get married."
Cheng Bing was indeed a little surprised. He thought you had problems with money and food, or there were differences in internal decision-making. Unexpectedly, it was because of this?
After a while, Cheng Bing came back to his senses and said to Li Qi: "This is a grand event for Li Yizhou. Bingzi should report to the Marquis of Wu, prepare a congratulatory gift, and come to congratulate Li Yizhou on his wedding day."
Li Qi smiled and said: "Deshu (Cheng Bingzi) is determined."
After Cheng Bing left, Jia Xu reminded Li Qidao: "Cheng Bing came here in the name of joining forces to fight Cao Cao, but in fact he is trying to find out the truth. My lord needs to be careful."
Li Qi nodded: "I see."
It's not that Li Qi was sharp-eyed. A spy came to report the day before yesterday that Sun Quan was staying in Ai County on his way back to the army. The news obtained by the outside world was that Sun Quan was here to thoroughly investigate the reselling of grain warehouses by Ai County officials.
In fact, corruption is common in every dynasty and generation, and for a mere county-level matter, does Sun Quan really need to stop his army in Ai County to thoroughly investigate it?
Therefore, Li Qi's advisers had already suspected that Sun Quan had something up his sleeve.
Now Cheng Bing came to mention the alliance against Cao Cao, which was more like trying to find out the truth. Li Qi then deliberately told Cheng Bing about taking concubines, which made Sun Quan mistakenly think that there was an opportunity to take advantage of him. He liked to travel through the Three Kingdoms, and invited everyone from the moment he fell into trouble and became a bandit.
