He Qi's army occupied the granary warehouse, but He Jing wanted treasures and women, all of which were in the Tianlou. There was Sun Ben's last confidant guard in the Tianlou. He Jing's eyes were red, and his voice was hoarse and shouted, leading two thousand soldiers to attack the gate of the Tianlou.

At this moment, a soldier pointed upstairs and shouted: "General, it's a fire."

He Jing looked up and saw thick smoke rolling above the sky building and flames soaring into the sky. The fire was lit from the second floor. The fire was rapid. In the smoke, countless women were heard crying.

He Jing was stunned. At this time, the gate suddenly opened, and the guards in the building ran out, kneeling down and surrendering. The entire hall on the first floor was covered with thick smoke.

"Run in and grab the woman and treasures out," He Jing shouted in a hurry.

Groups of soldiers rushed in, but retreated in a moment. The smoke filled the air and couldn't open their eyes. More than a dozen dancers living on the first floor also escaped.

He Jing was helpless and watched as the sky tower was engulfed by the fire. After only half an hour, the sky tower collapsed and was finally burned to ashes in the fire.

In the summer of the 20th year of Jian'an, Sun Ben's debauchery finally triggered a rebellion from the army. With the He brothers as the mutiny of tens of thousands of troops, Sun Ben ignited the palace in despair and died.

He Qi immediately cut off his army, abolished heavy taxes, won the hearts of the people, and claimed to be the governor of Kuaiji, sent people to Yedu to report to the sky, expressing his willingness to submit to the court.

The mutiny in Kuaiji County did not have much impact on the whole world, but it was tantamount to a strong earthquake for Jiangdong. Sun Quan and Sun Shao sent people to Kuaiji to win over He Qi almost at the same time.

In Jianye Palace, Sun Quan was upset in the room. He endured for several months and received food support from the Han army. He finally got through the difficulties. The summer grain harvest this year was good, especially Huang Gai's farming in Qu'a County, which made Jiangdong temporarily get rid of the problem of insufficient military rations.

Just as Sun Quan was preparing to attack Wu County in a large-scale attack, news of a mutiny from Kuaiji came from Kuaiji. Sun Ben was killed and He Qi became independent, disrupting Sun Quan's plan to advance.

Sun Quan had made an agreement with Sun Ben. He attacked Wu County from the north, while Sun Ben restrained the Wu County army from the south. Later, the two families divided Wu County equally. However, now that Sun Ben was killed, their agreement was abolished. Without Sun Ben restraining the Wu County army from the south, Sun Quan really had no confidence in winning.

Zhang Zhao, a military advisor next to him, advised: "The Marquis of Wu does not need to rush to attack Wujun. Obviously, the Han army is supporting Wujun. Once our offensive is urgent, Sun Shao asks the Han army for help, and the Han army has reason to enter Jiangdong, and their navy will go straight into the lake from the Yangtze River. I think this is the real reason why Liu Jing supports Wujun. It is easy to ask gods to send gods. Once the Han army forces enter Jiangdong, Jiangdong will be annexed by the Han army sooner or later."

But Bu Zhi disagreed with Zhang Zhao's opinion and retorted: "Although what the military advisor said is reasonable, it is not comprehensive enough. Now Liu Jing is working hard to deal with the Huns and has formed an alliance with Cao Cao for this. He should have no time to take care of Jiangdong now. I think this is our opportunity."

Zhang Zhao glanced at Bu Zhi with some dissatisfaction. Because his daughter was favored, Bu Zhi has been trusted by Sun Quan for the past six months and was named Shi Zhong by Sun Quan. He is in charge of Jiangdu Finance. He holds great power and speaks very well.

Although Zhang Zhao looked down on Qibiao's noble because of his daughter, he knew that if he could not convince Sun Quan, Sun Quan might follow Bu Zhi's advice.

Zhang Zhao sneered and said, "The Bu Shizhong's words are one-sided. The Han army is fighting the Huns with all their might, but they also stationed nearly 50,000 troops in Lujiang County, commanded by Huang Zhong, the largest general of the Han army, and Pang Tong, military advisor. Do you think they are going to attack Hefei? Liu Jing has formed an alliance with Cao Cao. At least within a year, he will not attack Hefei again. So what else is necessary for Lujiang to gather 50,000 heavy troops. This is Xiang Zhuang's sword dance, and he is determined to be Pei Gong. The real goal of the Han army is Jiangdong. Not to mention that their army has arrived, even if we only send 5,000 naval troops into Wujun, what can we do?"

"But Wu County already has a thousand Jingzhou naval troops?" Bu Zhi said unwillingly.

"There are a thousand navy troops, but the banner they used to be the Han army, is it clearly the Lu family soldiers? Because Wujun did not invite them, it is difficult for them to disclose their banners. But if we attack Wujun and force Sun Shao to get angry, then the situation will definitely be different."

At this time, Sun Quan sighed and said, "Whether we should act according to the military advisor's opinion, are we helpless?"

Zhang Zhao was overjoyed. Sun Quan asked this, which meant that he had accepted his persuasion. Zhang Zhao hurriedly said: "We are not helpless. We can use our plans to win Wujun. From this Kuaiji Incident, I discovered the opportunity. In fact, Wujun also has the same hidden dangers as Kuaiji."

After thinking about it for a moment, Sun Quan understood what Zhang Zhao meant, "Is the military advisor saying that the conflict between Sun Shao and Sun Shao?"

Zhang Zhao smiled slightly and said, "To be precise, it should be the conflict between the wealthy gentry of Wujun and Sun Shao. Sun Shao is just a puppet without power, but the gentry of Wujun is not. They have enough energy to compete with Sun Shao. More importantly, the gentry of Wujun supports Sun Shao and opposes Sun Shao. Their conflicts are slowly accumulating and there will always be a day when they break out. As long as we use their conflicts to prompt internal strife in Wujun, we can seize Wujun in one fell swoop, so that the Han army has no time to react. In this way, we will seize Wujun at the lowest cost without a large attack, consuming troops, money and food, and also cut off the opportunity of the Han army."

Sun Quan nodded. Zhang Zhao's plan was very good. When he talked about his heart, he immediately smiled and said, "Then follow the military advisor's plan. We will first provoke internal strife in Wu County, and then use Pili methods to seize Wu County. I will leave this matter to the military advisor."

Zhang Zhao glanced at Stephen with a smug look and bowed, "I obey the order."

............

Zhang Zhao and Bu Zhi said goodbye and left. Then Sun Quan turned around and asked a guard and said, "What's the matter?"

"Wang Ning said that he would pay homage to the Marquis of Wu if he had something to do."

Sun Quan hesitated for a moment and said, "Take him to Shuxiang Pavilion."

"Zhou Order" the guards hurriedly left.

Shuxiang Pavilion is Sun Quan's library and one of the more secret places Sun Quan has. It is very safe and you won't worry about the partition walls. Sun Quan usually handles affairs here. There is a secret passage from Sun Quan's official room to Shuxiang Pavilion.

Sun Quan was walking back and forth in a secret room in Shuxiang attic. At this time, a knock on the door came, and a confidant guard led the captain Wang Ning in.

Wang Ning was nominally the lieutenant of Jianye’s internal defense army, but in fact he was the leader of Sun Quan’s secret investigation agency Yingbei. He was established after Sun Ben’s first rebellion failed and specialized in secret affairs such as surveillance and assassination.

Wang Ning is also Sun Quan's most trusted confidant. When Liu Jing visited Jianye, Wang Ning led the Internal Defense Forces to be responsible for protection, but in fact he was monitoring Liu Jing.

Wang Ning entered the room and knelt on one knee, "See Wu Hou"

Sun Quan winked at the guards, closed the door and retreated to the stairs. Only Sun Quan and Wang Ning were left in the Shuxiang Pavilion.

At this time, Sun Quan asked lightly: "How is she now?"

"Reported to the Marquis of Wu, Qiao Xuan went to Jingzhou, but she did not leave and still lived in Qiao's mansion, with only a few servants serving him.

Sun Quan didn't say anything for a long time. The one they were referring to was Da Qiao, and Sun Quan was also a lustful person. How could he not be moved when facing a world-famous beauty like Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao?

Although Da Qiao was nominally his widowed sister-in-law, Da Qiao's identity was also a concubine. She was not Sun Ce's wife, but Sun Ce's wife Gu died early. Gu's grandson Shao was raised by Da Qiao, so everyone in Jiangdong regarded Da Qiao as Mrs. Bo Fu.

It is precisely because Da Qiao is a concubine that Sun Quan secretly made her a secret idea. However, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao had a special identity and were protected by Mrs. Wu. He never dared to act rashly, for fear that the Jiangdong military would arouse indignation and damage his reputation.

But since Cao Cao wanted to accept Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao's sisters last time, it did not arouse public outrage in the Jiangdong military, and it was even very calm. Only then did Sun Quan realize that the military had taken the favor of the sisters indifferently, especially Lu Meng, who had publicly stated that he wanted to marry Xiao Qiao as his wife.

Sun Quan began to think about it, but he was still one step slower. Xiao Qiao, who was most likely to succeed, had followed Liu Jing to Bashu, which made Sun Quan deeply regretful.

Although Da Qiao is still in Jiangdong, he is just his widowed sister-in-law, so he cannot marry him. The only way is to let her live in her harem and block the news, so she becomes her forbidden body.

Da Qiao originally lived in the Changgan Palace of Mrs. Wu. After Mrs. Wu passed away, Sun Quan closed the Changgan Palace on the pretext of saving internal affairs.

At the same time, Da Qiao was asked to move to Jianye Palace to live. Sun Quan was sure that Da Qiao had nowhere to go, so he could only obey his arrangements.

Unexpectedly, Da Qiao moved back to her father's house, which made Sun Quan both disappointed and annoyed. However, Da Qiao was his widowed sister-in-law, so he didn't dare to force her openly.

Sun Quan pondered for a moment and said to Wang Ning: "I have to think of a way to force her out. I can't let her live in Qiao's mansion. Do you understand what I mean?"

Wang Ning said: "You can order people to pretend to be thieves and scare her, so Wu Hou can take her back to the palace."

Sun Quan nodded, "Go and do it and be careful."

Wang Ning bowed and slowly retreated. Sun Quan walked to the window with his hands and stared at Jianye Palace outside the window. He took over the power of the world and enjoyed the beauty of the world. Now that his power has suffered a severe blow, he began to indulge his other kind.
