Chapter 678: Great Thoughts

Su Zhe was riding a horse and galloping, going straight to Qian Tang City.

Although he hadn't guessed what Sun Quan wanted to do, all kinds of doubts made him have a bad premonition.

Killing Sun Quan, destroying the remaining resistance forces in Jiangdong, and never suffering in the future, this is what Su Zhe wants to do most now.

Qian Tangcheng is close ahead, and he will soon know what this kid Sun Quan wants to do.

Just when he was not more than five miles from the city, there was a sudden fire in front of him, and thick smoke rose everywhere.

Qian Tang City actually caught fire!

Su Zhe's sword eyebrows froze, and he rode his horse to speed forward.

As the city got closer and closer, the fire became clearer and clearer, not only in Qiantang City, but also in the seaport to the east of the city.

Obviously, this sudden fire could not have been an accident, but could have been deliberately set on fire by Sun Quan.

"Sun Quan, is he crazy? Qian Tang was his last stronghold, and he actually set fire to the city? Ling Tong, who was running beside him, was also surprised.

"Don't care so much about it first, let's talk about saving the people." Su Zhe ordered.

The army marched quickly and soon arrived at the front line of Qiantang.

At this moment, the fire has covered the entire city, and the smoke has obscured the sky.

Under normal circumstances, Sun Quan set fire to the city, and many people in the city would definitely flee, but to Su Zhe's surprise, not too many people escaped, just an old, weak, sick and disabled.

On the one hand, Su Zhe asked people to gather and appease the people whose homes were destroyed, and on the other hand, he asked some people to come and ask questions.

Soon, Deng Ai invited an old man to Su Zhema.

"Old man, what's going on with this money Tang City's fire?" Su Zhe asked gently.

"This fire was set by Sun Quan's rabbit cub, that guy, just like that, a fire burned down our house." The old man was indignant and scolded angrily.

Su Zhe nodded slightly: "Sure enough, it was the blue eyes that set the fire, old man, what did Sun Quan do in Qiantang, why did these people who escaped all the old and weak, but not the young and middle-aged." ”

The old man sobbed: "After Sun Quan's dog thief fled to Qiantang, he forcibly requisitioned all the male and female babies in the city, leaving only our old bones, and he also looted all the grain in the city, and robbed all the farm tools and tools." ”

Su Zhe's heart was shocked, and from the old man's words, he had vaguely guessed seven or eight points.

The old man went on to say that just a few months ago, Sun Quan had sent a military officer named Ding Feng to Qiantang to forcibly recruit all the big ships that could go to sea from Wu County and Huiji County and gathered them in Qiantang Port.

Na Ding Feng not only forcibly conscripted ships, but also concentrated the stonemasons and blacksmiths in various counties, as well as all craftsmen who knew how to work in handicrafts, in the name of building weapons, in the Qiantang harbor.

Not only that, Ding Feng also used Sun Quan's order to collect the grain and grass in the treasury of the two counties, which was enough to support more than 10,000 people for a year, and gathered them in the harbor.

Just a few days ago, Sun Quan arrived in Qiantang City, and began to load all the looted materials, along with those craftsmen, onto the ship.

Subsequently, not long before Su Zhe led the army to arrive, Sun Quan took these personnel and materials, sailed out of the harbor with more than 100 sea ships, and sailed into Qiantang Bay.

After hearing the old man's words, all the generals were amazed, and they couldn't guess what Sun Quan wanted to do by doing this.

"Ling Gongji, Sun Quan has done so many things, don't you know?" The veteran Huang Zhonghu looked at Ling Tong suspiciously.

Ling Tong was also stunned, shook his head and said: "We really don't know this, that Ding Feng is Sun Quan's henchman, and he must be acting secretly on Sun Quan's orders, otherwise it would be impossible not to even mention Zhang Zibu and Lu Boyan." ”

Huang Zhong became more and more confused, and said incomprehensibly: "Sun Quan, this little thief, he took so many men and women and so many craftsmen to the sea, where does he want to flee?" ”

Including Su Zhe, everyone was deeply suspicious of Sun Quan's move.

Before I knew it, it was almost noon.

The fire in Qiantang City gradually extinguished, and the fire in the port gradually weakened.

By dusk, all the fires had been extinguished, and Su Zhe rode into the harbor, which had been reduced to ashes.

Immediately on the shore, looking at the sea, there was no trace of a sail, and Sun Quan and his fleet had sailed away.

Su Zhe used his brain waves to connect to a weather satellite and search for the shadow of the enemy ship on the sea.

Soon, the satellite sent back high-precision resolution satellite images to his mind.

In the picture, I saw nearly 100 sea ships, sailing towards the vast ocean.

On the decks of many sea vessels, you can even see stacks of farm tools and baskets of grain seeds.

"Sun Quan, where are you going?" Su Zhe muttered to himself, and deep suspicion welled up in his eyes.

Going to Jiaozhou?

It's unlikely, if you just go to Jiaozhou, you only need to bring enough grain and grass, why bring so many seeds, farm tools and craftsmen.

You must know that although Jiaozhou is not as prosperous and wealthy as Yangzhou, it is not a dime a dime, there are at least one million people in the state, nearly half of whom are Han people who fled from the Central Plains, advanced knowledge and production technology are available, and there is no need for Sun Quan to bring advanced technology to development.

Going to Yizhou?

It is also unlikely, a place like Yizhou is still barren land now, basically undeveloped, and there is simply not enough arable land for Sun Quan and his 10,000 people to survive.

What's more, instead of fleeing to Yizhou, why not simply flee to Jiaozhou, where there are at least one million people, and the difficulty coefficient of making a comeback is several orders of magnitude higher than that of Yizhou.

Neither going to Yizhou nor Jiaozhou, the only explanation is that Sun Quan plans to lead his army to Nanyang.

Yangzhou is close to the sea, there are several seaports with the South Seas maritime trade, Sun has been operating the South Seas for so many years, Sun Quan should know that in the vast sea area of the South Seas, there are countless large and small island countries, with a considerable population.

With Sun Quan's strength, he can't beat Su Zhe on the mainland, and it should be no problem to go to Nanyang to clean up those natives.

Moreover, the rulers of the Central Plains of all dynasties had little interest in Nanyang, and Sun Quan fled there to avoid the danger of being chased by Su Zhe once and for all, and lived a worry-free life from then on.

Su Zhe thought about it, and it seemed that there was only one explanation.

"Sun Quan is also a Han Chinese, because of my appearance, history has been changed, it is not indirectly prompted Sun Quan to develop Nanyang in advance, and the conquest and expansion of our Han people to Nanyang will not succeed, this is not necessarily a good thing......

Su Zhe looked at the vast sea and thought thoughtfully.

Sun Quan's trip to the South Seas suddenly planted a seed in his heart, making his vision no longer limited to the vast continent, but also to the boundless ocean.

As a traverser, of course, he knew that in addition to the Eurasian continent, at the end of that vast ocean, there were many vast continents that were still in ignorance.

There is no shortage of fertile land, abundant resources, and the living environment in many places is even better than that of the Chinese continent.

It's just that because of technological and demographic limitations, those continents will not enter the eyes of Westerners from isolation until thousands of years later.

And it is precisely by virtue of the conquest and colonization of those new continents that the Western countries plundered endless wealth that they can become the masters of the whole world.

"Since I'm here, I have a quantum meteorological satellite, a map of the whole world, and there are so many advanced technologies in the database that I can't read, why don't I take advantage of these advantages and lead my Great Wei to conquer and open up those unknown new worlds with Huaxia......

A great idea suddenly sprung up in Su Zhe's mind.
