Chapter 3853: Soaring Prices

But at this time, Sun Quan has no greater confidence in whether the land of the three counties can be preserved properly.

There are not many troops in the three counties, and it must be difficult to fight against the Jin army.

"The prime minister is relieved. The officials and generals in the three counties are all loyal to Wu. Even if the Jin army is strong, it will not be easy to break through the three counties," Sun Quan said.

Having said that, Sun Shao still sensed Sun Quan's anxiety from Sun Quan's words. Jiangdong's situation had reached the point of desperation. The most important thing was that Jiangdong's officials might not be on the side of Sun Quan at this time. This is the most important thing. deadly.

Sun Shao also understood that Sun Quan had a lot of dissatisfaction with him, but the current situation in Jiangdong was critical, and it was impossible for Sun Quan to change his position.

Behind Sun Shao, there is also a family. The chaos in Jiangdong is inevitable, and it is what the Sun family wants to see if the family can be continued better. And under Sun Quan's strategy, more The aristocratic family stood on the side of the Jiangdong army. In this case, after the Jin army aggressively attacked Jianye and broke through the city, what kind of disaster would it bring to the Jiangdong aristocratic family.

Human nature is selfish. For the sake of Jiangdong's stability, Sun Quan would not hesitate to offend more aristocratic families. Couldn't these aristocratic families betray the monarch for the continuation of the family?

If the strength of the monarch is strong enough, these families will definitely not stand on the side of the enemy. After taking refuge in Jin, there will be no more benefits for these families. They must want to let the family get greater benefits. develop.

Seizing the opportunity to let the family develop is of vital significance to Jiangdong's family, which is why Jiangdong's family still resisted Sun Quan at the last moment.

"Prime Minister, the soldiers and civilians in the city are panicking. This is the time to test the Prime Minister's ability. I hope that the Prime Minister can give me more help at this time." Sun Quan said.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the veteran will definitely do his best to assist His Majesty to repel the enemy." Sun Shao said, no matter what choice the family members have, he is grateful to Sun Quan, precisely because Sun Quan let him go to the prime minister In his position, Sun Quan's trust in him can be imagined.

People are not grass and trees, and when faced with such kindness, they must have more gratitude to the monarch.

After discussing the situation in the city with Sun Shao, Sun Shao left the palace with a heavy heart.

The oppression before the Jin army attacked the city made the soldiers and civilians in the city panic. The common people walking on the street could not hide their panic. The arrival of the Jin army will inevitably have many impacts on the lives of the people. The most obvious change is It is the increase in the price of rice grain. The aristocratic family controls more rice grain, but after the arrival of the Jin army, the city gate cannot be opened, which cuts off the way for many people to survive. They have fields outside the city, and The aristocratic family also has a lot of dependence on the fields outside the city.

After the Jin army arrived and closed the city gates, the price of rice and grain soared. Even if Sun Quan ordered the officials to come forward, the effect was not very good. It was even more difficult for the people to survive at such a time. Among them, human life is like a mustard. Although the monarch attaches great importance to the people, how many monarchs will care about the life and death of the people when it is really critical. As long as the power in their hands can continue, more people will be attached.

Now, the most important things for Sun Quan are the soldiers in the army and the families in the city. As for the fact that people often starve to death, it is beyond Sun Quan's control. Guaranteeing the food and grass for the soldiers in the army is not a small matter. It is impossible to give more support to the people.

Besides, Sun Quan still wanted to get more taxes from the people to support the war between the Jiangdong Army and the Jin Army, so how could it be possible to provide rice for the people.

The soaring price of rice grains must be controlled secretly by the aristocratic family, and even the banknotes of the state of Wu are difficult to pass in the city. Relatively speaking, the banknotes of the state of Jin are used.

Being able to make businessmen agree, from this aspect, we can see what kind of attitude the people of Jiangdong have when this battle comes.

The strength of the Jin army far exceeds that of the Jiangdong army. Even if Sun Quan has more words, it will be difficult to change the situation in which the Jiangdong army is in a weak position in this battle. If it can't better alleviate the impact in this regard, it will not bring great benefits to Sun Quan. more support.

In fact, if Sun Quan wanted to get the support of the family, he only needed the generals in the army to win some victories in the battle against the Jin army, so that the family in the city could see the benefits of supporting Sun Quan and let them see the hope of victory.

Otherwise, just relying on some awe-inspiring words, it is not easy to get the aristocratic families in the city to come up with something to support the monarch's actions.

The situation is urgent, and Sun Quan has no more constraints on the family, which also makes the life of the people in the city a big problem. If they can't get more rice before the upcoming decisive battle, it is very difficult More people may starve to death.

The aristocratic family definitely has no so-called pity for the people. What they think is how to get more benefits from the people under such circumstances, so that their family's strength can be further improved, and the fields in the hands of the people are in this situation. Such a time is not welcomed by the family.

Once the city is broken by the Jin army, no matter how many fields their family has, they will never want to preserve it. The past events have well explained that when the Jin State treats the family, the first thing to do is The family's fields were taken back.

On the second day after the Jin army delivered the news through the cavalry, the Jin army's luggage was transported. After these luggage were transported outside Jianye City, they quickly set up a formation outside the city. The soldiers in the army were constantly busy. The cavalry was ready for battle.

In this battle, it is impossible for the cavalry of the Jiangdong Army to have a greater advantage. The cavalry of the Jin Army can greatly affect the situation of the Jiangdong Army, so that the Jiangdong Army will not be able to fight at this time. Dare to act rashly, their scouts dare not go out of the city, and cannot bring more information about the Jin army to Sun Quan, and this is exactly what the Jin army needs, so that the scouts of the Jiangdong Army lose their due role and cannot inquire more about the situation , it will prevent Sun Quan from having a better understanding of the arrangement of the Jin army after the start of this battle.

At this time, even though Sun Quan has secret operations in the Jin army, will these secret operations still convey news for Sun Quan?
