Three Kingdoms

It was dark at night, and in the Wu County Government Affairs Hall, several oil lamps were brightly lit. Sun Quan's figure in the middle was reflected on the surrounding walls, large or small, bright or dark.

Sun Quan sat by the case and looked at the documents. Even if you reach your current position, you still have to do a lot of desk work, and you can't just leave everything to the officials.

Although the bureaucracy of the Han Dynasty has almost collapsed, the general structure has still been preserved, becoming a copy of Sun Quan's current system of establishing a new system, and these documents are Sun Quan's control, coordination and management of his own Jiangdong system.

Zhou Yu is here.

Then Zhou Yu left again.

Traveling in a hurry was not Zhou Yu's original intention, but after all, this was the only way to reassure Sun Quan. Zhou Yu had previously stated that if there were no major events, he would supervise the training of soldiers in Baqiu. If Zhou Yu hadn't been so upset this time, he might not have made such a trip.

Sun Quan loved, hated, and was jealous of Zhou Yu, which was very complicated.

It can be said that Zhou Yu's status in Jiangdong is not lower than that of Sun Quan at all, and the reason is very simple. First of all, Zhou Yu was the one who followed Sun Ce to raise the army. At that time, Jiangdong was still in disarray and had nothing. It can be said that the Sun family had the foundation of Jiangdong, which was basically won by Sun Ce and Zhou Yu together, so Zhou Yu was the foundation of Soochow. There is no doubt about this.

Therefore, to Soochow, Zhou Yu was no different from the founding minister. At the same time, when Sun Ce fell, it was Zhou Yu who appeased and coordinated the veteran generals and asked them to support Sun Quan. It can be said that Zhou Yu was kind to Jiangdong and Sun Quan. Without Zhou Yu, Jiangdong would have become a mess. There is no possibility of unity anymore.

Therefore, Sun Quan also made Zhou Yu the governor-general. The two seemed to be very harmonious on the surface, but in fact Sun Quan did not give all his military power to Zhou Yu...

Nothing else, just a balance.

Many of Sun Ce's original members who opened up Jiangdong were from the Huaisi area, and were basically considered the Huaisi faction. In Jiangdong, those led by the four Jiangdong families can generally be called the local faction.

Sun Quan wanted to find a balance between these two factions, but obviously, this balance was not so easy to find...

Although the entire Government Affairs Hall is now quiet and peaceful, the quarrels that broke out here before are still clashing and noisy in Sun Quan's mind...

……（╬￣俣）……

"Lord, if you want others to be unaware, you have to do nothing about it!" Zhou Yu looked at Sun Quan angrily. Looking at this guy whose behavior was completely different from Sun Ce's, the uncontrollable anger made Zhou Yu not even want to maintain his appearance. of respect.

Sun Quan was stunned for a moment, and then his anger rose: "Zhou Gongjin, you are so brave!" Some time ago, Sun Quan would not have dared to mess with Zhou Yu like this, but now Sun Quan feels that he has a certain strength, and then hears Zhou Yu's rude words , naturally very angry.

Zhou Yu was silent for a moment, his gaze was like a knife, which made Sun Quan sweat a little on his back.

"My Lord thought it was a good idea to harvest Yue people and farm their fields. Firstly, he could stabilize the foundation and secondly, he could unite the four tribes. Little did he know that he was actually laying the root of trouble. Sooner or later, the foundation would be overthrown!" If it comes to other things, Zhou Yu can endure it. So once it comes to the issue of Sun's foundation, Zhou Yu will never sit idly by. Because for Zhou Yu, this Sun family's foundation is the only mark Sun Ce left in this world.

The four families in Jiangdong have formed a complete structure. The main family stands out as the leader, leading the direction and facing the future, while the other branches and minor surnames serve as supplements to assist the main family and move forward together.

So from this perspective, the four Jiangdong families are actually a whole, and marriage is like a link. Although the four families have some friction to some extent, they still have the same goal on the whole.

Sun Quan captured the Yue people and brought them to the military camp as slaves. Then the four families did not say anything and accepted the Yue people sent by Sun Quan with smiles. But this does not mean that the four families were sitting on the same chariot as Sun Quan!

"Why did you say that?" Sun Quan was a little stunned. After pondering for a while, he asked directly.

Zhou Yu took a deep breath, calmed down a little, and said in a low voice: "My lord, this is tantamount to killing the chicken to take the eggs, drinking poison to quench thirst, and there will be chaos in the end... There is a lot of resentment among the people, and the benefits are only half, so why bother?"

Sun Quan divided the Runyue people, and seemed to have reached a consensus with the four Jiangdong surnames to advance and retreat together. However, in fact, Sun Quan bore all the public anger, and the four Jiangdong surnames said that this was all Sun Quan had to do, while accepting the Yue people with a smile. And even though Sun Quan's Yue people's interests accounted for most of them, Sun Quan required a lot of corresponding expenditures. Therefore, overall, the benefits received by Sun Quan may not actually be more than those of the four surnames in Jiangdong.

On the other hand, after all, the Yue people are not leeks in spring, but human beings. They need a period of time to reproduce. It seems good to capture these Yue people in a short period of time, but what happens next? Since the captured Yue people are slaves, they are equivalent to a tool. So who would cherish a cheap tool like disposable dishes and chopsticks? Therefore, it will inevitably be consumed at an extremely fast rate. Even if Sun Quan gives these slaves a little bit of soup to ensure their survival, the slaves will be quickly damaged and exhausted due to the dissatisfaction and resistance of the slaves.

At that time, Sun Quan must face a dilemma. One is that the cost of capturing the Yue people is getting higher and higher. After all, no one wants to be born as someone else's slave. The Yue people's escape and resistance have become inevitable. Secondly, in order to maintain the previously cultivated fields, either Sun Quan would be forced to turn his original subordinates into slaves, because only slaves can generate high profits, or he would have to give up taking care of these fields with insufficient manpower or give up farming with slaves. Model, no matter which one it is, will have a great shock to Sun Quan's regime...

As for the four Jiangdong families, they are fanning the flames and reaping the benefits.

Sun Quan rushed forward to fight and tear apart the prey. The four Jiangdong families cheered for both sides, saying that they were fair and just. Then Sun Quan won, so they went up to lick Sun Quan's wounds, making Sun Quan feel happy and lick some blood at the same time. After eating it, he immediately nibbled some prey into the water on the other side. After all, most of the fat meat was left to Sun Quan. He completely forgot that he had added oil to the prey before...

Until one day, Sun Quan fell down with scars, and the four Jiangdong families rushed up to him. While biting Sun Quan's body, he reiterated that he was on the side of justice, shouting that justice may be late, but it will never be. There will be no slogans, and Sun Quan's corpse will be moistened, and Sun Quan's body will be thrown into the water to the prey that is also scarred, or it will be trained into the next Sun Quan...

"Why bother? Why is this necessary?" Zhou Yu gave Sun Quan a little analysis, and then looked at Sun Quan, "My lord is only twenty years old. You only need to stick to it. In less than ten years, Jiangdong will be like a rock. Why make such a rash advance?" Act of?"

"Brother Gongjin..." After listening to this, Sun Quan was silent for a long time and sighed, "If there is no achievement in a certain decade...not to mention ten years, even three years, it will fall apart! Now the world is like sailing against the current. , If you don’t advance, you will retreat! Fei Huqi is entrenched in Guanzhong Sichuan and Shu, Cao Sikong sees Jiyou being invaded, and east of the river, there are Jingxiang and Liu Jingsheng blocking the road on the left, and Yue people on the right are holding back...Brother Gongjin, if someone can’t take this urgent strategy , so what?"

What Sun Quan said can be regarded as sincere.

Sun Quan is like the president of Sun Family Foundation, but in addition to the president, there are also various investors, such as Mrs. Wu's brothers, and even veterans like Zhou Yu. If it is Sun Ce, he will more or less develop it together. Jiangdong's affectionate connection, and Sun Quan, a latecomer, if he can't make any strategic profits, naturally don't think about how long he can sit in this position...

Even if Sun Quan has no brothers, he still has his nephews, or worse still, his relatives from the Wu family!

Therefore, Sun Quan's sense of crisis is actually very strong.

Zhou Yu looked at Sun Quan and finally understood the biggest difference between him and Sun Quan. What Zhou Yu values ​​​​is the Sun family's foundation, while what Sun Quan values ​​​​is his own position. Although the interests and goals of two people are the same in some places, they are like two different lines that intersect at one place for a short time and then go in different directions.

Zhou Yu stood up and said, "That's it for now... I hope my lord will think twice... I'll resign..." Originally Zhou Yu had prepared some policies and strategies, but now, Zhou Yu felt that even if he said it, Sun Quan might not be willing to listen. Even if they heard it, they would hardly do it, so they wouldn't bother to waste any more words.

"..." Sun Quan watched Zhou Yu bow in silence, then stepped back step by step, hesitating to speak.

Zhou Yu retreated to a position close to the door, suddenly stopped, turned around and walked back.

Sun Quan couldn't help but smile: "Brother Gongjin..."

"My lord," Zhou Yu handed over his hand, "the matter of the Huang family's crossbows... my lord still needs to deal with a few more things..."

Sun Quan: (￣口￣)

"My subordinates are resigning..." Zhou Yu withdrew his gaze, lowered his head, and left again.

……(≧Д≦)ノ……

When he recalled the previous scene again, Sun Quan realized that Zhou Yu's last words were not really Zhou Yu's finding of relevant evidence, but the evidence obtained from Sun Quan's reaction.

Falling into Zhou Yu's scheme again, Sun Quan felt a little helpless, but also a little ashamed and angry.

After all, Sun Quan himself knew that there was still some intellectual gap between him and Zhou Yu.

However, this does not change Sun Quan's original strategy.

Sun Quan put down the pen in his hand and rubbed his sore wrist.

Jiangdong started with Sun Ce and now Sun Quan has taken over, and it has gradually reached a bottleneck.

To the east, there is a vast ocean. Although Sun Quan also heard that the four Jiangdong families have some shipbuilding technology, it belongs to the four Jiangdong families after all, and the sea is unpredictable, so can it be guaranteed that there will be profits?

To the south, let alone the mountains, the dense forests that have grown for thousands of years are enough to give Sun Quan a headache. Before the Han Dynasty entered the Little Ice Age, this area of ​​South Vietnam was similar to a tropical rain forest...

Even if the land is set on fire, it must be close to a water source before it can be converted into farmland. Therefore, the cost of developing southward is very high, and there is no guarantee of profit.

The only two options are to go north or west.

To the north is Cao Cao, to the west is Liu Biao. For Jiangdong, the desire to go west, or strategic needs, is obviously greater than going north. After all, as the Yangtze River flows eastward, the original natural dangers in front of Jingzhou can be ignored. Jingzhou, located in the upper reaches, can attack down the river, but Jiangdong can only go upstream...

If the west and north can be disrupted, Sun Quan will naturally have the opportunity to take advantage of the chaos.

Under such a grand strategic thinking, Sun Quan certainly hopes that these guys in the Central Plains will all work together, and then he can calmly reap the benefits. Just like the empire on which the sun never sets in history, China's reputation as a troublemaker is not in vain. Sun Quan didn't know what a mainland troublemaker was, but that didn't stop Sun Quan from trying to create conflicts between Fei Qian, Cao Cao, and Liu Biao, hoping to achieve the desired goal.

However, why is there no movement among Fei Qian, Cao Cao, and Liu Biao in the Central Plains? Could it be said that he was discovered? That's not the case. The people sent out are all dead soldiers raised by the Sun family for many years. They must not reveal even a little bit...

Maybe, wait a little longer?

Sun Quan turned his head and took down the long sword hanging on the sword stand behind him. He gently used force and pulled it out under the oil lamp, with a cold light overflowing.

This was originally his brother Sun Ce's sword, but Sun Ce later gave it to him.

The long sword is three feet three and more than three fingers wide. It has blades on both sides and a blood groove in the middle. The steel pattern on the sword body shines more and more under the oil lamp. The blade of the sword is engraved with a snarky head, with upper and lower canine teeth and round eyes glaring. The hilt of the sword is made of thin hemp rope mixed with leather, which ensures a comfortable grip without being too slippery due to blood stains.

Sun Quan first held the long sword against the oil lamp, and then looked at the tip of the sword from the bottom bit by bit to check if there was any rust. Then he took a piece of brocade silk and wiped it upwards along the sword body bit by bit... …

Now that I have climbed to this position, I have become more and more aware of how valuable authority is. How can I give up so easily?

Shame and all that are just floating clouds.

Depending on your individual stance, your feelings will naturally be different.

For Zhou Yu, what he wanted to protect was Sun Ce's inheritance. As for Sun Quan personally, he was only the guardian of the foundation under this premise. For Sun Quan, although he also thought about the Sun family's inheritance, it was the Sun family's inheritance that was under Sun Quan's own control.

Therefore, Sun Quan felt that what he did was not the most correct method at the moment?

Why can't anyone understand him?

"Fuck Wu Ge, he is captured by a rhinoceros, his chariot is on the wrong side, and he is fighting at close range. The sun is blocked by clouds, and the enemy is like a cloud, and the arrows are falling, and the soldiers are fighting for the lead..." Sun Quan muttered softly, "The weather is coming, the thunder is angry, kill the enemy. Fight in the wild. When you leave Wu County, you will not fight back. If you take advantage of the Yangtze River, you will enter the Central Plains. If you carry a long sword and hold a Wu hook, you will drive away the deer and settle down for nine days..."
