Chapter 428: The bloody case caused by five cents of money
While Wu Ru was still moving boxes to the shore, Gan Ning had already rushed over and arrived in front of Yan Liang.om
"My lord, everything is ready. I'm just waiting for my lord's order."
Yan Liang nodded, "No rush, let's go meet Lu Fan for a while first."
Yan Liang rode his horse towards the shore. Lu Fan, who was commanding on the trestle, saw Yan Liang coming and hurriedly came forward to see him.
After cupping his hands in greeting, Lu Fan said with a smile: "General Yan, a hundred catties of gold and a dowry of twenty million dollars have been delivered to all the subordinates. It's a lot of money. General, do you want to count it?"
Yan Liang looked at the boxes scattered around behind Lu Fan, nodded and said, "In that case, let's order some."
As he spoke, Yan Liang raised his whip and gave a look. Zhou Cang, who understood the situation, led a group of soldiers to open the boxes one by one and lit up the dowry.
Lu Fan was dumbfounded.
What he just said "a little bit" was just a polite word. Not to mention a hundred catties of gold, it is normal for the 20 million to be more than a thousand coins, or to be less than a few thousand coins.
Who will care about it?
What surprised Lu Fan was that Yan Liang was like a miser and really wanted to send him in.
"Just order it. Anyway, our dowry is just a lot more, and I'm afraid you might pick out the thorns..."
Lu Fan thought to himself, but couldn't stop him, so he smiled awkwardly and allowed Yan Liang to give him some money.
The matter of counting the money was left to Zhou Cang, and Yan Liang took Lu Fan and his party to the big account.
The guest of honor sat down, and Yan Liang didn't say a word. He just sipped tea and read the art of war slips with his head down.
The atmosphere in the big tent was filled with silence.
That kind of silence made Lu Fan feel more and more uncomfortable.
After a while, Lu Fan couldn't bear it anymore, so he raised his hands and said, "General Yan, now that the dowry has been delivered, I don't know when General Yan plans to make peace and withdraw his troops."
"The money hasn't been counted yet, so why are you so anxious? Don't worry, after the money has been counted, we will immediately withdraw our troops and return to Jingzhou."
Yan Liang didn't even raise his head and replied as if to deal with it.
Lu Fan smiled sheepishly, but did not dare to ask any more questions for fear of annoying Yan Liang, but he was wondering what Yan Liang was up to.
Half an hour later, the curtain was lifted, and Zhou Cang strode in with an annoyed look on his face.
"How is it? Have you counted the number clearly?" Yan Liang put down the slip.
Zhou Cang replied angrily: "My lord, I have ordered it several times. Wu Ru's dowry is missing a full five cents."
"What, a whole five cents is missing, that's not a big deal!" When Yan Liang heard this, he was furious.
But Lu Fan was stunned, unable to keep up with his thoughts for a while.
That's 20 million dollars, and even counting it would take at least one or two days to figure it out. It only took half an hour for a few people in Zhoucang to figure it out. It was already incredible, and they counted it over and over again.
all over.
What's even more incredible is that even if the number is clear, it can be as accurate as five pennies less.
When Lu Fan was shocked, Yan Liang got up and shouted angrily: "Sun Quan wants to sue for peace, but he is stingy with even five cents. He is so insincere, which is a great contempt for me. How can I tolerate him?"
.”
Facing the furious Yan Liang, Lu Fan immediately panicked and hurriedly explained: "General, calm down, there must be a misunderstanding. My lord has sent tens of millions of dollars, how can he be stingy with just five cents?"
Money, misunderstanding, this must be a misunderstanding."
Until this moment, Lu Fan thought that Yan Liang's attack was due to money.
However, Yan Liang ignored his explanation and said resolutely: "You don't have to say anything anymore. Since Sun Quan has not sincerely asked for peace, I still can't ask for it. Where is Zhou Cang!"
"The end will be here." Zhou Canggong responded.
Yan Liang's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he said sternly: "Pass this general's order to order Gan Xingba and other generals to speed up the naval attack and take the lake mouth directly."
"No." Zhou Cang received the order and strode out of the tent to deliver the order.
Lu Fan was immediately shocked. He never expected that Yan Liang would be so angry that he would start a war because he was short of five cents.
Just when he was eager to explain again, his heart suddenly shook, and he suddenly realized.
His thinking finally caught up with the rhythm, and only then did he realize that Yan Liang had no intention of making peace with them at all, and Rujia had already been prepared for war.
"I should have seen it earlier. How could he insist on counting the money? Why would he be so angry that he started a war because he was short of five cents? That was just an excuse to get married. Lu Fan, A Lu Fan, you are really stupid.
Out of reach..."
Lu Fan cursed himself in his heart. He suddenly realized this and couldn't help but squeeze out a wry smile on his frightened face.
"General Yan, you are really cunning and cunning. It seems that when Lu came last time, you had already planned to use your marriage as a cover to launch an assault on our Hukou Fortress, right?"
Lu Fanla asked sadly with a bitter face.
After the show was over, the seriousness on Yan Liang's face disappeared, replaced by a slight sneer.
"It seems that Mr. Lu has finally come to his senses. I might as well tell you clearly that the two states of Jing and Yang cannot coexist. Do you think that I will let you go just because of a mere woman and a few boxes of money?"
Is there a good opportunity right around the corner?"
Yan Liang no longer concealed anything and revealed his intentions.
Lu Fan's face was ashen, and Yan Liang's cold words made him feel like a clown, being ruthlessly played.
After laughing at himself for a long time, Lu Fan sighed: "General Yan's wisdom is really impressive, but I don't know what General Yan plans to do with Lu in the current situation."
Lu Fan knew he had been deceived and thought he would die.
However, Yan Liang had no murderous intention and said with a smile: "Mr. Lu, don't be nervous. You are also the matchmaker between me and Miss Sun. Don't worry, I won't kill you."
After saying this, Yan Liang gave an order to "invite" Lu Fan down. He would serve him well and not be negligent.
Lu Fan had no room for resistance and could only sigh and leave.
At this time, Yan Liang walked out of the tent and looked at the river bank.
But I saw warships sailing out of the water village one after another, and the fleet stretching for several miles was heading downstream downstream.
"Bi Yan'er, thank you for your girl and dowry. Just wait, my return gift will be here soon."
... Dusk, Hukou Fortress.
The setting sun casts its afterglow on the river, splashing golden scales. Shishui Village is exceptionally quiet at dusk.
Sun Quan stood on his horse and looked in the distance, looking in the direction of Chai Sang, but he felt melancholy.
"I wonder how much torture my little sister will suffer from Yan Liang, ugh——"
Sun Quan sighed, full of helplessness.
Ever since he agreed to the marriage, Sun Quan would have images of his delicate little sister suffering painful torture under the crotch of Yan Liang's evil wolf from time to time.
Every time, Sun Quan's heart felt like a needle pricking his heart.
Just this morning, it was also here that Sun Quan saw off Lu Fan and a dozen Wu ships. Those ships contained a huge amount of money that Sun Quan had shipped overnight from the Moling Treasury.
Sun Quan knew that Yan Liangzai was deliberately humiliating Yan Liangzai by sending him money and giving him money, and the other party only gave him ten days.
But in this situation, in order to take the overall situation into consideration, Sun Quan could only continue to swallow his endless hatred.
"Lu Fan's ship must have arrived at Chaisang at this time. It seems that Yan Liang has really fallen into my lord's trick. As long as Yan Liang retreats and allows us to breathe, we can attack Chaisang from three sides and we will be able to recapture Chaisang."
This important town.”
Lu Su, who was behind him, knew that Sun Quan was sad, so he used that beautiful blueprint to comfort the lord of Jiangdong.
Sun Quan's sad mood improved a little, and he snorted coldly: "Yan Liang is a thief, but he is short-sighted after all. I, Sun Quan, swear that I will make him repay tenfold for today's shame in the future."
Sun Quan clenched his fists and swore an oath.
Lu Su hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "With my lord's spirit and heroic strategy, Su believes that he will be able to wash away today's shame in the future."
Sun Quan gently stroked his purple beard, and his brows gradually became proud again.
Just as Sun Quan was thinking about how to take revenge, a sentry ship on the river came back from the west.
A moment later, Pan Zhang galloped over on his horse and exclaimed: "My lord, something serious has happened. The sentry ship reported that a large number of enemy ships were found on the river ten miles to the west, and they were rushing towards the mouth of the lake."
"What!"
Sun Quan was shocked and could hardly believe his ears.
Lu Su, who was also shocked, asked anxiously: "How many enemy ships are coming?"
Pan Zhang said: "According to the scouts, there are at least 500 enemy ships. It is estimated that the enemy troops must be more than 20,000 at least."
Five hundred enemy ships and 20,000 navy troops!
This terrifying number would never have caught Sun Quan's attention in the past, but hearing it now, it was enough to make him feel dizzy.
In an instant, Sun Quan suddenly realized that he had fallen into Yan Liang's trick again.
The traitorous general of the Yuan family pretended to end the war with his relatives and extorted a large sum of money. However, when he relaxed his guard, he suddenly mobilized all his navy to attack Hukou.
"Insidious, this thief Yan Liang is so insidious——"
Sun Quan woke up with a start, gnashing his teeth with hatred, and his face turned red.
Lu Su, who came up with this plan to get married, saw that his clever plan had cost Miss Sun and a huge amount of money. However, instead of making Yan Liang fall for the trick, it actually gave the other party an opportunity to take advantage of it.
Lu Su felt so ashamed.
Just when his principal and ministers entered, feeling shocked and ashamed at the same time, another sentinel ship flew back.
The scout reported that Yan Jun was already seven miles away, and this time the scout claimed that Yan Jun had as many as 700 warships and 30,000 naval troops.
Seven hundred battleships and 30,000 naval troops, this was Yan Liang's naval force that came out in full force, and among them was a fleet of vehicles and ships that made Wu Ru frightened.
"Lord, the enemy troops are coming too fast. In such a hurry, our army has no time to move out of camp to meet them. In my opinion, it is better to abandon Hukou Village quickly, retreat to Lujiang County downstream, and defend Wankou."
As soon as he heard about abandoning Hukou, Sun Quan's expression suddenly changed and he said sternly: "Even if we can't fight with water, we should defend Hukou camp. How can we abandon it so easily?"
Just when Sun Quan was being generous, another scout came flying towards him.
"My lord, there is an urgent report from the south. The Yan army suddenly increased its troops in Ai County. Tens of thousands of infantry and cavalry launched a fierce attack on General Dong. General Dong was defeated and was forced to retreat to Haihun. The Yan army marched eastward along the Xiushui River.
We have broken through several counties and have penetrated deep into the hinterland of Yuzhang."
A powerful enemy was approaching from the north, and bad news came from the south. In an instant, Sun Quan was frightened and confused.
