Chapter 3540 Preoccupied
What a shrewd person Lu Bu is, it can be seen from the first time he sent war horses to the princes. Under the rule of other princes, there was a lack of sophisticated war horses, and the cavalry had an advantage over the war horses that infantry could not match. Under such circumstances
, the princes must want to have more cavalry. When the number of cavalry reaches a certain level, it will help satisfy the princes' ambitions.
Lu Bu, who controlled a large number of war horses, could obtain a large amount of grain and grass from the princes at this time. Some aristocratic families also had to pay the price of grain and grass if they wanted to obtain war horses.
Just relying on war horses and weapons forged from hundreds of steels, the Jin State accumulated a lot of money and rice grains, but the princes had to give in when faced with such a situation.
Sun Quan thought for a moment and said: "If possible, try to buy it with money. The amount of rice cannot exceed 40%."
"I understand, I will do my best." Lu Su said with a cup of his hands. The current treasury in Jiangdong is not very full. If Sun Quan had not taken action against the aristocratic family many times before, it would not be possible to have more money and food in the treasury.
An easy thing.
The State of Wu also had their own banknotes, which was also to facilitate trade between merchants. The State of Jin rejected the State of Wu's banknotes. This does not mean that the State of Jin's banknotes were unpopular after they arrived in the State of Wu. In terms of banknotes,
, Jin still has great advantages, mainly because of Jin's strong national power. Using Jin's banknotes will make merchants and people feel more at ease. The situation under Cao Cao's rule illustrates this point well.
When the Jin army broke through Cao Cao's city, the paper money in the hands of the aristocratic families and the common people fell into an extremely embarrassing situation. On the contrary, if the Jin country's paper money was used, even if it was not under Lu Bu's rule, it could still be spent.
The main thing is the benefit brought by Jin's strong strength. Using Jin's banknotes, they don't need to worry about more problems.
However, it is difficult for Jin to spend Wu's banknotes. At the same value, Jin's merchants are obviously more willing to use Jin's banknotes. No one is sure when the war between Jin and Wu will begin.
If the two sides are at war, it will be impossible for merchants to continue trading as before.
Sun Quan had a certain understanding of the situation of Wu's banknotes. As a monarch, although he took certain measures to deal with such matters, the effect was not very great. Businessmen and people also have their own freedoms.
Besides, even if Sun Quan ordered that merchants and people not be allowed to use it, can we guarantee that they would not use it secretly?
The Kingdom of Wu and the Kingdom of Jin are currently in a period of peace. With such a rule, Lu Bu will inevitably be given an excuse, and then the biggest trouble will be.
When the Wu State dealt with the Jin State, it was extremely cautious and tried its best to prevent the Jin State from finding excuses. In this way, Jiangdong could have more breathing opportunities. Now it seems that the Jin State has learned from the previous war.
After recovering, we do not plan to give Wu State more time to recover. Once the two sides fight, what impact will it have on Wu State?
After the previous war with the Jin State, Wu State's strength was greatly affected. Not only did it not occupy Guangling County and Jiujiang County, but it lost Lujiang County. In this way, Jiangdong's development will be further restricted.
At that time, the Jin army did not have the ability to attack, so it accepted Jiangdong's request and the two sides temporarily stopped fighting and made peace.
It is difficult to maintain the peaceful situation for a longer period of time. At this point, Sun Quan and the officials in Jiangdong are clear. Once the Jin State regains its strength, it will definitely attack the Wu State, and Wu State's lack of military strength will
It becomes the biggest shortcoming.
Lu Su's trip will be very difficult, but this is Wu's last chance to get supplies from Jin. If Lu Su can't exchange rice grains for war horses from Lu Bu during this trip, the situation will be even worse.
severe.
After the Jin army breaks through Jiangdong's army on the water, it will definitely be able to drive straight in and take Jianye City. By then, the situation in Jiangdong will be even more critical.
If the Jiangdong Army can have more cavalry, it will be more likely to fight against the Jin Army. Such a possibility is exactly what Sun Quan needs. As a monarch, Sun Quan naturally hopes for a stable situation in Jiangdong.
can be sustained.
Sun Quan has also received many benefits from the aristocratic family. As long as the situation remains, Sun Quan is confident that Jiangdong Army can recover from the shadow of the previous war. By then, Jiangdong Army will be even more powerful in strength and can fight against Jin.
Only with a large army can we have a greater chance of winning.
But no matter what kind of efforts Jiangdong Army made, it seemed that they were not enough in front of the Jin army. This is also the view of some generals in the army. When Jiangdong Army was at its peak, it was impossible to take advantage of Cao Cao's hand when fighting against Cao Jun.
.
The senior generals in the army naturally want to see the Jiangdong Army grow stronger. They have supported the Sun family for many years, and do not want the monarch they have supported for many years to decline when fighting against the enemy. In this case, it will not be good for them in the future.
With greater benefits, it is so difficult for a monarch to switch to other monarchs to get reuse, which also means that their previous efforts are in vain.
After giving Lu Su some instructions, Lu Su left the palace with a heavy heart.
The Jin Army's strengthening of its naval combat capabilities must be to fight against the Jiangdong Army. The Jin Army has a huge advantage in numbers. This advantage can be well reflected in the battle. It is just a numerical advantage.
, can make Jiangdong Army pay a heavy price.
Whether the foundation is strong or not also determines how far the war between the two sides will proceed.
With the current strength of the Jin State, even dispatching troops from Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Jingzhou, and Yuzhou can greatly affect the situation in Jiangdong. However, other states and counties in the Jin State are still in a stable state, even if there is a war.
If it lasts for a long time, the Jin army will be able to be more at ease.
This situation will inevitably put Jiangdong into a more urgent situation, which is also a problem Jiangdong's army has to face.
Lu Su was highly valued by Sun Quan, which can be seen from the importance Sun Quan has always attached to him. Lu Su's personal abilities have been greatly improved over the years, and he wants to have greater success under Sun Quan's command.
As a result, I definitely don’t want Jiangdong Army to suffer the price of failure in the battle against Jin Army.
After years of hard work, once it comes to nothing, how many people will step down from their high positions.
