Three Kingdoms

Just when Huang Gai and Zhu Huan really started to join forces to strangle Nanman Shanyue, at Zhou Yu's place, Sun Quan was listening carefully to Zhou Yu's teachings. Lan

Zhou Yu had tried to teach him more than once before, but Sun Quan always felt that Zhou Yu had ulterior motives and the purpose was not so pure. But now, after seeing Zhou Yu like a candle in the wind, Sun Quan truly relaxed and was willing to calm down and listen.

Sun Quan is not stupid, he is much smarter than the average person, but his wisdom is not top-notch. In terms of levels, it should be about second-rate. This is on the whole. After all, most of Sun Quan's intelligence and talents were used in politics, and he even used his own son as a bargaining chip. This is one of the reasons why later generations have always criticized Sun Zha.

Sun Quan was no less suspicious than Cao Cao. In fact, anyone who has been involved in politics for a long time will have some suspicions. After all, those who trust others easily and have no suspicions will probably not live long.

Sun Quan's suspicion originated from Sun Ce's death.

Compared with Sun Jian's death, Sun Ce's death was indeed an abnormal death.

The abnormality here does not refer to the lifespan of the person himself or how to maintain his longevity, but that Sun Jian died on the battlefield, which is a common way for a general to die. Whether he died in the hands of Liu Biao or in an ambush by Fei Qian, or died in a fight with other princes, in fact, apart from providing an excuse to send troops, Sun Quan actually didn't have much to say about Sun Jian's death. Real resentment. It's like Mrs. Wu knew that Sun Jian's death was related to Fei Qian, and Mi You said that she would prick a little man with needles and curse him every day, because everyone knew that when he went into battle, his head would be pinned to his belt and it might fall off at any time. .

Sun Ce's death is what makes people feel unwilling. Lan

Sun Ce was assassinated and died, and it was precisely because of Sun Ce's death that the Sun family was about to fall apart in an instant. His former relatives and friends seemed to be plotting against each other, which made Sun Quan begin to doubt everyone around him, including Zhou Yu.

It's simple, because if Sun Ce dies, Zhou Yu can directly command and control almost all the troops at that time, and the choice of the Sun family's heir is almost decided by Zhou Yu.

Although Sun Quan finally took the position of Lord of Jiangdong, every time in the dead of night, Sun Quan couldn't help but think, what if Zhou Yu mentioned another person's name at that time? So is it Sun Quan himself who is imprisoned in Wangjiangtai now?

Stupid people naturally don’t think about anything. Sun Quan was not stupid, but he was only smart but not wise enough.

"You used to be very irritable, so there were some things that you couldn't see far away. ” Zhou Yu said it very bluntly. He did not cooperate with Sun Quan by saying some words that looked bright but had no effect actually because of Sun Quan’s serious attitude.

Zhou Yu is still very direct. After all, now, whether it is from his own physical condition or from the current relationship between the two people, simplicity and straightforwardness are the most effective. "The reason for being irritable is because you are anxious." 』

Zhou Yu would not have said these words so clearly before. Lan

Because at that time, Sun Quan would not listen.

And now...

Sun Quan was silent for a moment and nodded, "Just as the governor said." 』

Zhou Yu raised his head slightly and sighed a little, "I was very unhappy before...but now, I can understand...you are afraid." 』

Sun Quan was silent for a longer period of time, then nodded slowly, "That's true." 』

Zhou Yu smiled slightly, "It's nothing... I'm scared too." Not only now, I am afraid every time I go to the battlefield. I am afraid that I will die, I am afraid that if I accidentally make some negligence, the whole army will be defeated, I am afraid that improper command will put the friendly troops at a disadvantage, resulting in the loss of soldiers and generals..."

"Captain...you..." Sun Quan was stunned. Lan

In Sun Quan's impression, Zhou Yu should be a person who is personable, stable and orderly at all times. How could he be afraid?

"Brother Bo Fu was assassinated..." Zhou Yu did not continue the previous topic, "Do you know why Cao Mengde and Fei Ziyuan are clearly fighting endlessly and difficult to reconcile, but they don't send assassins to each other? 』

Sun Quan replied: "Or...is it against the rules?" 』

"So..." Zhou Yu asked again, "What are the rules?" 』

"The rules are..." Sun Quan said subconsciously, but after blurting it out, he found that the question was not so easy to answer, "A promise that needs to be followed?" 』

Zhou Yu hummed softly. He didn't seem too satisfied with Sun Quan's answer, but he didn't show too much disdain, "Then Brother Bofu... why doesn't he have this rule again?" 』

"..." Sun Quan could not answer. Lan

"It is said that when the Hussar first arrived in Chang'an, he was also assassinated. Zhou Yu suddenly smiled and said, "I sent someone to do it once... and another time it was Prime Minister Cao who sent someone to do it..."

"ah? ” Sun Quan was stunned, and then his eyes moved slightly.

"Of course, you also sent people..." Zhou Yu glanced sideways at Sun Quan.

Sun Quan didn't know whether he should smile awkwardly at the moment, or deny it and say it was nothing, but in the end Sun Quan said nothing.

"Now..." Zhou Yu shook his head slightly, seeming to be sighing something, "I don't send people to do such things anymore... It's not that Cao Fei and his two people have guards when they go out and are heavily guarded, but It’s different... Do you know what’s different? In the early days, Yuan Gongli sent people to assassinate Cao Mengde, and Yuan Benchu ​​sent people to assassinate Lu Fengxian... Why was it possible then but not now? 』

This time, Zhou Yu did not wait for Sun Quan's answer, but said directly, "If we send the butler to slaughter some pigs, sheep, cattle and dogs, will he say hello to the pigs, sheep, cattle and dogs, or will he feel guilty?" If the pigs and sheep block the road and are killed, they will be killed. But now it is no longer pigs, sheep, cattle and dogs, but..."

Zhou Yu patted the table next to him and said, "We are sharing the same table..."

Sun Quan thought a little.

"Yuan Jiujiu initially regarded Cao Mengde as a lackey, but Yuan Benchu ​​thought that Lu Fengxian was suspected of being a vicious dog that would eat his master..." Zhou Yu said, "Fei Ziyuan temporarily stayed in Lianghe for a while, but his efforts were insignificant... just like Brother Bofu who set up Jiangdong. ...so it doesn't count on this table...this is the rule. 』

Some people may worship dogs as ancestors or masters, but in most people's minds, dogs are just dogs.

During the period of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, when the gentry with high surnames ruled the Han Dynasty, whether they were warriors from Xiliang or brave soldiers from Jiangdong, in the minds of those people, they were all dogs. Therefore, after Dong Zhuo took control of the court, the people of Shandong could not understand, could not accept, and even felt extremely angry. They were actually bitten by dogs.

The same goes for Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, the Four Generations and Three Dukes. They think that they are the masters of the Han Dynasty, and everyone else is just a dog.

Until one day...

Things were sorted out at the Chancery's desk. Lan

Qinglong Temple began to have serious explanations.

People all over the world began to look in the direction pointed by Fei Qian...

No one dares to say that Guanzhong is a dog.

Because if you still say that, then wouldn’t they be worse than dogs?

And you have to copy dog ​​things. Isn’t it more doggy than dog?

They began to scold Fei Qian for his transgression, talk about Fei Qian's cruelty, slander and abuse, etc., but no one wanted to assassinate him anymore.

Because from a certain moment, Fei Qian was already an opponent, a good poker player who could sit at the table and play cards. People at the poker table are more willing to defeat their opponents within the rules of the poker table, rather than simply destroying the opponent physically, because this will only prove that their methods are wrong, which will make them in the future If you lose the qualification to sit at the poker table, you will be suppressed by other players. Lan

This is a change in concept and a political rule.

"Brother Gongjin..." Sun Quan frowned slightly, "So, eldest brother..."

Zhou Yu sighed, "I was young back then..."

Between his eyebrows, Zhou Yu had a look of loneliness, and he had always regretted not persuading Sun Ce to do something.

Does anyone know what a card table is right from the start?

Does anyone know what the rules are?

Zhou Yu glanced at Sun Quan, who was meditating, and then turned his gaze to the sky. Lan

Sun Quan was indeed listening and thinking, but he may not really understand it at the moment.

Zhou Yu once thought he had time to take his time, teach slowly, and change slowly, but now it seems that no matter from any aspect, he is running out of time.

Now we can only teach as much as we can and understand as much as we teach.

Put your whole heart into it and express some ideas.

This is actually normal. Sun Quan has changed a lot now, but Sun Quan is not that obedient and obedient. Sun Quan glanced at Zhou Yu and immediately realized that there seemed to be something wrong with him, and quickly apologized to Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu smiled, waved his hands, or stimulated his lungs, and coughed again.

Sun Quan quickly asked his attendants to deliver the soup, and he delivered it beside him, not like his lord, but like a disciple of Zhou Yu. Lan

Like.

Not after all.

Even if they are true brothers, there are only a few who can withstand the test of interests, let alone a large-scale foundation like Jiangdong. Maybe it won't be a big deal in the eyes of future generations of keyboard warriors, but in this world, there are only so many people who can reach such a foundation as Sun Quan, just by pulling their fingers.

Zhou Yu drank some decoction and his cough subsided. He waved his hand, and the attendants all retreated.

If he knew that his life was short-lived, he might not have put more thought into Sun Quan back then, and had some kind of emotional connection with him, unlike the feeling of being forcefully together at the moment.

Zhou Yu knew that Sun Quan had worked very hard.

Sun Quan also knew that Zhou Yu had seen through him. Lan

Even many people up and down Jiangdong understood it...

There is still a big gap between knowing and doing it.

When Zhou Yu followed Sun Ce, did he ever think about conquering the world?

not at all.

It wasn't until Sun Ce actually conquered Jiangdong that his desire to compete for the world became clear with the size of his butt plate.

Back then, it was like a young man was joking and pointing the country, but now...

The Sun family's foundation lasted for two generations and three terms. Lan

Sun Jian had Sun Jian's people, Sun Ce had Sun Ce's people, and Sun Quan naturally had Sun Quan's people.

One emperor and one courtier.

Every leader has a team he trusts. This is normal.

What is abnormal is that the time between the predecessor and the predecessor is too short, causing the predecessor to be young and the successor to be reborn.

In this way, there are actually three generations of "old, middle and young" people formed in Jiangdong. The old, middle and young people here refer not to age, but to the time they have followed the Sun family.

The "old generation" includes Cheng Pu, Wu Jing, Sun Bi, Huang Gai, Zhu Zhi and others. They began to follow Sun Jian's era and grew stronger, becoming a faction that still has strong strength today; the "middle generation" refers to those who were in Sun Ce's era. Those who joined, including Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, Zhou Yu, Jiang Qin, Lu Fan, Dong Xi and others, also had certain authority; and those with the prefix "Qing" were naturally discovered and cultivated by Sun Quan, such as Lu Su, Lu Dai, Xu Sheng, Zhu Huan, Lu Xun, etc...

Jiangdong is so big. Lan

Some people eat more, while others eat less.

Although Sun Quan does not blindly exclude the "old, middle" and second generation when it comes to employing people, and can also use them, there are still some differences. Sun Quan is more inclined to hand over the real power and weight to the "younger generation". Because of the younger generation, Sun Quan considered them to be his own, and their strength truly belonged to Sun Quan.

In the power structure like Jiangdong, both Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao are prefixed with "中", so they are more of a link between the past and the following. Sun Quan's respect for Zhou Yu probably comes from this. Zhou Yu has always had great prestige in the army, and even the generals with the prefix "老" are willing to obey Zhou Yu's instructions, which makes Sun Quan more or less suspicious.

This kind of suspicion may be considered stupid in the eyes of later generations of keyboard warriors, who would have to accuse Sun Erduzi of being stupid or stupid. But it is like many children in later generations who are too lazy to even listen to their parents, but feel that the words of their friends are the most stupid. The situation is the same as when you are trying your best. The principle is the principle and the reality is the reality.

Sun Quan is so happy about his achievements, but how many people at his age don't like to give advice? Even Zhou Yu himself came here with Sun Ce like this? Therefore, Zhou Yu could understand Sun Quan's situation, and had previously thought that he would make adjustments slowly. Young people, how can they truly know that the world is difficult if they don’t beat themselves up in reality?

When the collision hurts, you will know you are good.

At that time, Zhou Yu felt that he had time...

But now, Zhou Yu has no time, so he can only pull Sun Quan to his side, whether it is to encourage the seedlings or to do his best, it can only be like this anyway.

Zhou Yu has been planning for a long time the grand strategy of opening up Sichuan and Shu and controlling the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

Later generations may have been influenced by Mr. Luo, and thought that Zhou Yu picked up Zhuge's Yahui, copied Zhuge's Longzhong pair, and then came up with a two-part strategy. In fact, this is not the case.

Strategy is like an article. There are many copies of it all over the world. It just depends on who can use it well. It's like the Thirty-Six Stratagems. I don't know how many people have used them throughout the ages. Is it possible that everyone is shouting that this is Sun Tzu's and others can't use it? The book Thirty-Six Strategies was not written by Sun Tzu, but by an unknown person during the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

In history, there are Zhou Yu's two-part strategy for the world and Zhuge Liang's three-point strategy for Longzhong.

In fact, the Longzhong rumored by later generations may not be the real thing...

The Longzhong pair passed down by later generations is the "public version", which is the "official version" recognized by Zhuge Liang. But when did this "official version" appear? It was only announced after Mr. Liu received his lunch box. Lan

The so-called real Longzhong pair refers to the grand strategy that Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei discussed privately when he agreed to leave the mountain. What exactly is it? Is there any discrepancy with the official version, etc...

Only the person involved, Zhuge Liang, has the final say.

After all, once such a grand strategy is publicly unblocked, it will be equivalent to playing a bright card. Therefore, the Longzhong matchup between Lao Liu and Xiao Zhuge was absolutely impossible to make public in the early stage.

At that time, classmate Lao Liu still wanted to lose face. How could he have the nerve to spread the word all over the world that he was going to seize the family's property when he didn't take Sichuan and Sichuan? From the overall perspective of the Three Kingdoms, the "Longzhong Dual" that Zhuge Liang later released was more like a reconciliation with Jiangdong. The two offensive routes proposed were actually one for Sichuan and Shu, and the other was reserved for Jiangdong. Zhuge Liang's subsequent military actions also proved this point. He never thought of taking the Jingzhou route.

If we really want to leave, it is actually not impossible. After all, the grain and grass supplies from Sichuan and Sichuan go down the Yangtze River to Jiangling, Jingzhou. The water there is fast and the speed is very fast. As the saying goes, "A thousand miles of rivers and mausoleums can be returned in a day." Such a golden waterway means that if Sichuan and Shu merge with Jiangdong to march, whether it is the transportation of soldiers or the transportation of grain and grass, the consumption will be very small.

It's a pity that Sichuan and Shu and Jiangdong have a bloody feud and cannot cooperate, so they can only give vague hints. In addition, Zhuge Liang also emphasized words such as "Sun Quan from Jiangdong has lived for three generations and can be aided but not for profit. Become a good friend to Sun Quan". On the one hand, he told those in Sichuan and Shu who hated Jiangdong that they wanted to be on good terms with Sun Quan. The relationship was the policy set early with the late emperor. On the other hand, it was to ease the atmosphere with Jiangdong. After all, Zhuge Liang knew in his heart that the two weak men would only be able to take advantage of Cao Wei if they fought with each other.

The same is true for Zhou Yu's two-part plan in history. Although it is said that it appeared after the Battle of Chibi, Zhou Yu should have planned it long ago, and it should be a conspiracy, otherwise Liu Guanzhang would still be on the sidelines at the time...

Strategy belongs to strategy, and imagination belongs to imagination.

Whether it is a two-point strategy or a three-point pair, what really turns the strategy into reality still relies on people.

For example, Sun Quan.

Zhou Yu originally wanted to conquer Sichuan and Shu by himself, but now his body...

It just depends on God’s will!

"Brother Gongjin," Sun Quan asked respectfully, "Nowadays, there are many people in Jiangdong saying that the Hussar's behavior is... too bad for the way of sages and sages, and cannot be used... Some people say that if they imitate the Hussar's method, It just shows that there is no one in Jiangdong... I wonder what Brother Gongjin thinks of this matter? 』

"Some idle people are talking nonsense, don't pay attention to it. ” Zhou Yu said slowly, “Are the words used today uniquely created by Jiang Dong? Is it possible that by using official script now, we are taking advantage of Cheng Yuancen? Or is there no one in Jiangdong? Another example is to learn to write prose, which is to imitate the two capitals and two capitals. Is it possible that Zhang Pingzi couldn't write about the capitals because Ban Mengjian was in front of him? Regardless of the military system or civil administration, don't think that it was created by the Hussar, or be dismissive of it. You need to choose the good ones and follow them. It should be beneficial to Jiangdong..." Lan

Sun Quan asked with some hesitation: "Even...Juetian?" 』

Zhou Yu was silent for a while and nodded, "Even Juetian." 』

After a pause, Zhou Yu added with profound meaning, "This is the sharpness of the sword. If it is really used...it will show the lord's ability..."
