Three Kingdoms

The night is still young and people are restless.

The sudden news threw Jiangdong into chaos.

Just when Sun Quan had not made up his mind, an unexpected guest arrived.

Visitors from Cochin.

Sun Qian.

Are they from the old Sun family? Although they are not relatives now, they may have been the same family five hundred years ago, so Sun Quan came to greet Sun Qian very happily.

Although Sun Qian wandered around on the ship for a while, he freshened up and adapted after getting off the ship, and more or less restored the demeanor of a celebrity. "The foreign minister pays homage to the Lord of Jiangdong!" 』

Uh-huh, Sun Quan likes to hear this. The Lord of Jiangdong sounds better than any general, right?

Sun Quan said kindly: "Sir, please get up." "Generally speaking, from a simple perspective, Sun Quan still has some demeanor.

After Sun Qian got up and sat down, Sun Quan asked his attendants to serve tea.

During this process, Sun Quan looked at Sun Qian carefully and felt that this man was not only good-looking, but also calm in his manners. In addition, perhaps due to the wind and frost of the sea voyage, although he was a little haggard, it also made him more attractive. Mature.

Sun Quan smiled and said: "Sir, it was hard work all the way north from Jiaozhou!" The sea is unstable and windy and rainy. The journey must be extremely difficult for Mr. Sir. 』

Sun Quan also sent some people to sea, knowing the difficulties at sea.

Although Sun Quan established some very preliminary trade lines from Yema Terrace, Ryukyu and other places, due to immature navigation technology, such trade lines were very unstable, and sometimes it was inevitable that both men and ships would be lost.

Sun Qian said slowly: "Thank you Lord Jiangdong for taking the trouble. It's actually not difficult." We set out in April, when the southerly wind prevailed, so the journey was relatively smooth. 』

"south wind? Sun Quan nodded and said, "Sir, have you ever been to Jiangdong?" 』

"Never been here. ” Sun Qian replied.

"Then this time, sir, I will stay in Jiangdong for a while, see the scenery of Jiangdong, and show my friendship as a landlord." ” Sun Quan laughed and said, seeming to be very generous and hospitable.

Sun Qian bowed slightly and said, "It is better to obey your orders than to be respectful. I thank the Lord of Jiangdong." 』

After the two exchanged a few pleasantries, Sun Quan turned to the topic and asked, "Shijun Liu... is far away in Jiaozhi. Mr. Xi has traveled thousands of miles to come here. What's the important matter?" 』

Sun Qian took out a letter sealed in a bamboo tube from his arms and presented it with both hands.

Sun Quan took it apart and looked at it.

The letter was written by Liu Bei.

Basically, Liu Bei described how he was with Sun Jian back then, and then he also heard about Sun Ce, and then expressed his personal admiration for Sun Quan. It was not until the end of the letter that he briefly mentioned his hope to be with Jiangdong. Establish a trade route for mutual trade.

Sun Quan pondered for a moment. Although he could generally make the decision to start trade with Liu Bei immediately, because it was beneficial to both parties after all, as the lord of Jiangdong, Sun Quan still knew that he had to be reserved and not reveal his greed for money right away. Face.

Just like Liu Bei vaguely expressed his willingness to renew his "front relationship" with the Sun family after narrating his emotions with the two generations of prefects of the Sun family at length, Sun Quan couldn't be impatient on the spot. Just stick it on? Speaking of which, Liu Bei actually had some friendship with most of the current princes because he participated in it earlier. But I don’t know if the BUFF on Liu Bei will be activated against Sun Quan this time...

Sun Quan slowly put away the letter and said that he would think about it carefully.

This was what he meant. Sun Qian had no intention of asking Sun Quan for a reply right away. The two immediately put aside their business and talked about some romantic matters.

It has to be said that Sun Qian was quite effective as a diplomatic envoy. Not only did he vividly tell Sun Quan some of the wonders and anecdotes at sea, he even described to Sun Quan the situation, customs and conditions of the local indigenous people in Jiaozhi. Habits and so on, Sun Quan was not only surprised, but also very interesting. Unknowingly, they were chatting all afternoon. It was not until the sky darkened that he suddenly realized the passage of time.

Sun Quan immediately ordered his servants to prepare a dinner to entertain Sun Qian, but the two of them had to sit for a long time, so they had to change their clothes...

"It's a pity...there are no war horses..." Sun Quan sighed softly.

Although according to Sun Qian, there were war elephants in Jiaozhi that were larger and more powerful than war horses, Sun Quan also knew that those things were unreliable. If they were really that powerful, Shi Xie before would not …

By the way, Shi Xie, the Shi clan.

"Someone is coming!" ” Sun Quan called out, and then said to the coming guards, “Send the order! The head of the Zhanshi clan is hanging on the city wall! 』

Before, Sun Quan kept some people from the Shi family, thinking that they would be useful in case of emergency, but now it is not the case.

……щ(Дщ)……

"My lord killed the Shi family..."

Zhu Zhi sat in the hall, folding his hands on his chest, and sneered, "This is for someone to see..."

Speaking of which, although Zhu Zhi still maintains the appearance of being pure and unmoved, he knows that this time, there is some trouble.

Two days ago, after the news reached Wu County, Zhu Zhi went to see Sun Quan, but Sun Quan did not see him at all. Then Zhu Zhi wrote another sincere memorial. After sending it, there was no response.

Although Zhu Zhi was sitting in the house at the moment, pretending to be closed in, his mind was on the outside. If there was any slight disturbance, he would know it immediately.

Some people may think that Sun Quan killed the remnants of the Shi clan in order to sell favors to Liu Bei. In Zhu Zhi's mind, this may be part of the reason, but more of it should be to Zhu Zhi and other people who have made changes. People demonstrate.

"Sure enough, it's still Sun's tradition..." Zhu Zhi shook his head and muttered in a low voice, "You don't want to change it?" 』

In fact, most people want others to change it, so that they can save themselves the trouble of not having to change it.

Zhu Zhi obviously didn't realize this problem, so he turned to Zhu Ran and asked, "What do you think?" 』

"I'm afraid that these gangsters are acting under the pretext of being arrogant and bullying the family," Zhu Ran said thoughtfully, "In addition, the last time Mr. Gu came to ask for help, my father did not reply... I'm afraid it has something to do with it..."

"The world is turned upside down, from the outside to the inside. This hand is used wonderfully..." Zhu Zhi nodded and said. Even if there is no Gu family behind the scenes, there is still some flavor.

Dragging the smell of water together.

Jiangdong has a lot of water.

Only when we get into the water together and get wet together can we count ourselves together.

This is tradition.

So if Jiang Dong and his gang didn't do anything here, who would believe it? Unfortunately, the question now is, does Sun Quan know about this matter, or does he not know about it?

It was like putting on a show for a certain prefect when he came down for inspection. On the surface, he pretended to have abundant supplies and the people were happy. The prefect smiled and the lower-level officials who followed him laughed. After the prefect left, He just moved the collected supplies away again and gave two copper coins to the group performers to get rid of the problem.

Then, does this prefect know how to show off, or does he not know?

You know, why do you know? If you know, why pretend not to know? I don’t know, and why don’t I know? Since the purpose of inspection is to know, why don’t you know? The mystery of this is the problem Zhu Zhi is encountering now. Zhu Zhi must find out whether Sun Quan knows about this or not.

What? The two Chen brothers?

What does this have to do with the two Chen brothers? The two Chen brothers are just an introduction, and the key detonation point will never be in the introduction.

Although Zhu Zhi is not known for his wisdom and cunning, he just thinks about these things more slowly. He can see them clearly even if he thinks quietly at home. After all, Zhu Zhi is also in Jiangdong. Been dealing with these guys for a while.

With Zhu Zhi's approval, Zhu Ran went on to say: "My lord, my lord, by acting like this, I have offended the people of Jiangdong... Now the people of Jiangdong are counting on my lord, my lord, to advance and retreat with them... My lord, my lord." I probably haven't made up my mind yet... After all, if I do, there will be no room for maneuver..."

"The Lord is too ambitious and longs to be in the center, but he doesn't know that Jiangdong..." Zhu Ran continued in a deep voice, "Jiangdong has been different from the Central Plains since the pre-Qin Dynasty... How can Chu Feng and Qin Opera be the same?" If everyone is upright and prosperous, we can work together to reform the old and make new changes. But if the country is not peaceful, the Lord will think about this old thing in vain, I am afraid that it will be... difficult to achieve..."

Zhu Zhi nodded slightly, with three strands of ink on his chin trembling.

Jiangdong doesn't need to be able to fight...

After all, everyone who could be beaten was either injured or dead.

It will take a hundred days to break the muscles and bones, and most of those who die will die without a burial place.

Therefore, Jiangdong only had a few who could be dragged away, dragging the good ones to damage and the bad ones to cripple.

Zhu Zhi and others were all like this, and even Lu Xun in the future played the procrastination card well, dragging Uncle Liu Huang to death, and then set him on fire, destroying hope.

Sun Quan wanted to move up, but the problem was that the Jiangdong people under Sun Quan didn't want to move.

Why, taking the life and death of Jiangdong people to pave the way for Sun Quan?

Why?

Right?

Then people in Jiangdong think making money is the most important thing. When Sun Quan attacked Qingxu, he wanted to ask whether he could make money. If Sun Quan attacked South Vietnam, he also wanted to ask whether he could make money. But if he couldn't make money, he wouldn't even think about it, let alone follow Sun Quan's orders to do things.

If you open a business road and everyone makes money together, it's no problem and everyone laughs together, but if you have to spend money, you'll fall out immediately.

Why is this happening? In fact, it is because Jiangdong is too far away from the Central Plains. In the early Han Dynasty, the center of the Han Dynasty was in Chang'an. Later, Emperor Guangwu moved it to Luoyang. However, whether in Chang'an or Luoyang, Jiangdong was a remote area. This remoteness is not only geographical remoteness, but also includes psychological distance.

If a bowl of water cannot be treated equally, the big man cannot talk about treating everyone equally in all counties and counties. Political differences naturally lead to regional cultural deviations.

It is only natural that Zhu Zhi and Zhu Ran can figure out the truth and the truth. After all, he was able to survive to a certain extent in Jiangdong, and he was still ups and downs despite several fluctuations in the Sun family. He was certainly not a fool.

Now that the Gu family, or Jiangdong's group of people, want to take the opportunity to drag the Zhu family into the water, Zhu Zhi also knows it in his heart. After all, the Zhu Zhi family is not only half of Jiangdong, but also half of the veterans. During the time of Sun Jian and Sun Ce, Zhu Zhi represented the old-school forces among them. If Sun Quan really took action against Jiangdong, he would naturally need to honor these Huaisi foreign ministers and veteran generals in the army. The Jiangdong faction is likely to be suppressed and suffer heavy losses.

When it comes to one's own wealth and power, it's no wonder that the Gu family and the people from Jiangdong acted so cruelly...

Zhu Zhi was silent for a while and asked, "Is there any commotion around the county?" 』

Zhu Ran nodded and said, "This is natural." How can there be no discussion? 』

Zhu Zhi nodded and said, "What about the army?" 』

"There is no news from the army yet. ” Zhu Ran replied.

Zhu Zhi nodded again, and then smiled.

Zhu Ran looked at Zhu Zhi's expression and said, "Father...could it be that the military is the key?" 』

Zhu Zhi stood up, then slowly walked forward, arrived in front of the hall, looked out of the courtyard, and said, "That's exactly it." If the army is not moved, the time has not yet come. After all, once the soldiers move, they will consume money and food day and night. Even if they are prepared in advance, it will not last long... If they are disturbed again in the army and cause the soldiers in the army to riot, then even if they march for days and days, they can suppress and deal with the disturbance. People in the army...but the more this happens, the more it indicates that the army is unstable...Once the army is in turmoil...this Jiangdong...hehe, hehe..."

Zhu Ran thought for a moment, and then asked: "Father, but it is impossible to drag it out like this..."

"Wait a minute, maybe there is someone..." Zhu Zhi looked up, "I always feel that this matter is not that simple..."

"who? Zhu Ran asked, and immediately followed Zhu Zhi's gaze, and suddenly said after a while, "I see... what my father said is true..."

……ヽ(^o^)丿……

Mizuro.

Zhou Langmei.

Beauty is a habit, but also a self-promotion.

I am beautiful, so I am different from all other living beings.

But now, Zhou Lang didn't know what was beautiful, but he knew that he was annoyed.

Everyone knows that as Sun Quan grows older, his desire for power is also growing day by day. He is now the Lord of Jiangdong, but Sun Quan wants more and bigger, and even thinks he can ascend to the Three Sophora Towers. Tang, kicked Cao Cao and Fei Qian down.

As Sun Quan's ambition flourished, it naturally brought more and more troubles.

Sun Quan's temper was getting worse and worse. Some of the servants in Sun's family had no idea what mistakes they made, but they were directly punished, scolded, or beaten, and some were beaten to death directly. , and threw it into a mass grave. So much so that the servants in the Sun family's mansion were all doubly cautious and kept silent, for fear that they might accidentally provoke Sun Quan and be beaten to death, or worse off than alive...

Zhou Yu knew why.

Because it has been difficult for Zhou Yu to receive news about the happenings in Sun Quan's house recently.

There must be someone else's spy in the Sun family's house.

This is something that can be understood with your toes without even thinking about it in your head.

But the problem is that Sun Quan was too reckless in doing so.

Why can't you teach it?

Sometimes Zhou Yu also has a headache.

The best way is obviously not to kill them, because they will accidentally injure flowers and plants.

For Sun Quan, Zhou Yu, and some Jiangdong nobles, of course they knew that this was Sun Quan's spy to clean up the house, but for the ordinary servants in the Sun family house, they had no idea why such a horrific incident happened. No one explained it to them, or in other words, even if it was explained, they might not be able to understand it.

So no explanation? The consequence of not explaining it is that the Sun family's servants will be frightened and uneasy. If they are uneasy, they will easily become resentful. If there is too much resentment, it will turn into hatred. Then it will be easier for other people to find some opportunities and give them some benefits when necessary. , these servants will become new informants...

Did Sun Quan not know this and didn't think of this, or did Sun Quan think of it but he didn't care at all? Anyway, there are a large number of untouchables who will fight over their heads to become servants in the Sun family's house, as long as Sun Quan gives them more money.

The best way……

Zhou Yu looked back at his desk.

On the desk, a piece of sapphire pressed a piece of information.

Information from Guanzhong.

The intelligence stated that the Hussars General seemed to have set up a special department in Guanzhong, which had begun to verify all officials, and then implicitly stated that replacements could be arranged as soon as possible, and at least there must be a deputy who can be used in Wanzhong. Blocking the knife in one situation is not, it is covering each other...

This is the correct approach. At least Zhou Yu believes that Fei Qian's approach is better than Sun Quan's.

The best way is to make specific people feel fear, rather than making everyone feel fear. Once everyone becomes afraid, it will only cause bad things and not be conducive to doing things.

Suddenly there was some noise outside, Zhou Yu's eyebrows moved slightly, and he heard someone reporting, "My nephew has arrived and asked to see the governor." 』

Zhou Yu waved his hand to signal the visitor to come in.

After a while, some footsteps were heard. A person arrived in front of Zhou Yu Hall and bowed deeply, "My nephew pays homage to my uncle..."

Zhou Yu looked at the visitor and said calmly: "Sit down." Is everything safe at home? 』

The visitor is Zhou Jun, the son of Zhou Yu's elder brother.

Zhou Yu had two or three brothers, but not many survived. Now only one Zhou Hui is still in Jiangbei, and Zhou Jun is the posthumous son of Zhou Yu's other brother.

The genes of the Zhou family are relatively good. Although Zhou Jun is not as handsome as Zhou Yu, his appearance is also dignified, with a slight beard. He looks majestic and majestic, but the weathered color on his face is heavier than Zhou Yu's. .

This is also helpless. After all, losing his father at a young age, even with Zhou Yu taking care of him, life is not so smooth. It is always harder than the average child with both parents.

It is precisely because of this that Zhou Jun became an official early to earn some salary to support his family.

"Thank you for your concern, uncle. Everything is fine at home." Zhou Jun saluted again, "Jia Ci also said that it would be disrespectful for me to pay my respects to my uncle after a long time..."

Zhou Yu smiled and nodded, "I have the intention... But I'm afraid it's not my sister-in-law who is talking about it, but... my lord is talking about it, right?" 』

"ah? ” Zhou Jun was startled and could not speak for a while.
