Three Kingdoms

Sun Quan was silent in silence.

For a moment, he couldn't make a decision.

It is easy to give out authority, but difficult to take it back.

Just like the authority within his own Sun family, wouldn't even a family with one surname also cause various problems?

Zhang Hong stood aside and said softly, "Lord, if you are willing to give up, you will gain something!" 』

"oh? ” Sun Quan looked at Zhang Hong, “What do you say from the east? 』

Zhang Hong said in a deep voice: "At this time in Jiangdong, everything else can be put aside for the time being, or we can try our best to support it. Only in the matter of the army, there can be no more trouble!" In the past, when the late Lord was still alive, he personally controlled the army and gathered the generals. One hundred thousand Jiangdong soldiers all bowed their heads and listened to him. Now... things are different from the past..."

After Zhang Hong finished talking, he didn't continue.

After all, this has touched Sun Quan's lifelong pain.

It used to be that both Sun Jian and Sun Ce could directly suppress military generals, but now Sun Quan can be said to have mastered military skills from seven to six. He gradually felt the difficulty of dispatching these Jiangdong generals. The war ahead is now at a critical moment. If there is any inappropriate response to these troops and chaos breaks out, I am afraid the problem will be quite big.

The current series of generals can basically be said to be honest, simply because Zhou Yu is still alive.

Once Zhou Yu dies...

Then Sun Quan would immediately know how difficult it would be to restrain the generals if they made a fuss!

Sun Quan's previous efforts to deal with the Jiangdong gentry and local tycoons were already stretched thin and it was difficult to support them. If the generals were also involved...

Sun Quan took a breath and contributed a little bit to the global warming plan for future generations.

Therefore, everything must be done carefully when it comes to military matters.

Sun Quan's face turned purple again. He glared at Zhang Hong, as if he wanted to express his dissatisfaction with "cursing" Zhou Yu in his words, but in the end he remained silent, leaving only a sigh.

Sun Quan generally understood what Er Zhang meant.

This is politics.

Some people who don't understand politics just think that what these two articles say are nonsense, and aren't horses and monkeys just taking the opportunity to make another chapter?

But speaking from the present moment, Er Zhang's words not only appear smart, but also show his sophistication in the long history of the world.

Of course, this sophistication is also from their own standpoint.

Although Er Zhang didn't say it clearly, he also made it clear that the current "lord" of Jiangdong is a piece of shit!

Loud, a bit smelly, then nothing...

Wen, no.

Wu, failed.

If you want to fight with the local snakes in Jiangdong, you can't win.

If you want to be the best among the generals, you don't have the ability.

At this moment, Jiangdong is indeed worried about being fundamentally shaken.

Before Sun Quan, he could still show his teeth and show his cleverness with the Jiangdong nobles, but that was because the Jiangdong generals series basically did not participate! Not only did he not participate, he also assisted Sun Quan in suppressing and pacifying under Zhou Yu's instructions!

What does this mean?

This means that once Zhou Yu dies and the Jiangdong military generals lose their restraints, whether they are bribed by the Jiangdong nobles or the military generals go to the trouble themselves, the power of the Sun family may be completely destroyed!

The meaning of two pictures is probably similar to diverting misfortune to the east.

Or it's called mixing sand into each other.

Isn’t the military in urgent need of money right now? Then link the financial support with the transferred military authority. The children of the Jiangdong gentry could obtain certain positions in the army no matter how much money they supported.

This strategy is actually not the first of its kind by Er Zhang. After all, it is a variant of Selling Lords. Even the bald Qiang in later generations had to sign many letters of appointment.

Jiangdong's helplessness, or the helplessness of most feudal dynasties, was that politics replaced economics. Although there were some people in the feudal dynasty who were knowledgeable about economics and finance, the final decision was based on politics rather than economic needs.

This is what Er Zhang came up with. It can not only solve the huge military expenditure, but also solve the vacuum of power after Zhou Yu's death. It can be said to be the best of both worlds.

The only one who is not beautiful is Sun Quan.

As long as Sun Quan nods his head, it means that Sun Quan can only sit on the sidelines in the end. He cannot reach out to any of the factions and can only sit high as the judge.

From a certain perspective, this is also the result that the local nobles in Jiangdong want to see.

On the general's side, they need money, ordnance and other materials, so they must hold their noses and admit it. After all, there are still military exploits hanging in front as bait, and the final settlement of the Sichuan-Sichuan War is not yet determined. In the past, most military generals would not focus their main attention on competing with civilian officials for some nook and cranny positions.

Therefore, Er Zhang’s strategy can perfectly solve the current problem.

As for the future...

Don’t you have no money now?

If you can't survive now, how can you think about the future?

right?

Sun Quan closed his eyes in pain, his face turning even more purple, "I...I need to think about it..."

Er Zhang looked at each other, and then quietly resigned without continuing to persuade.

In fact, not only Er Zhang, but even Sun Quan himself knew that this had become the final decision before Sun Quan raised any clear objection. As the old saying goes, until there is no new way, the only way is the best way.

Historically, Jiangdong has indeed moved in this direction.

The big sand that Sun Quan mixed into the general series was named Lu.

At the same time, Sun Quan really couldn't attack on both sides. He finally became the judge and the balancer, sitting high on top. Once he attempts to leave the field, he will be attacked by both sides at the same time. When Sun Quan was finally old, he may have discovered that his prince could no longer achieve balance, so he finally chose to send the prince, King Lu, and a large group of related people to the underworld.

Now, because of Fei Qian, these things have been sped up.

It's like running on a track. If everyone moves slowly, no one will be too anxious. But if someone suddenly speeds up, he will inevitably speed up with others.

Lao Cao was accelerated, and Xiao Sun was also led to run...

In the final analysis, the two of them still belong to the gentry series. Although they are not the same as the Jiangdong gentry, they have the same attitude when it comes to fighting for power among military commanders.

Zhang Zhao sat in the car, bid farewell to Zhang Hong, and staggered back to his home.

Zhang Zhao naturally knew what Sun Quan was thinking.

Zhang Hong is still relatively young, while Zhang Zhao is not young. In an era when the average life span of a man is only forty, Zhang Zhao doesn't know how long he can live, so he just needs to balance everything in his lifetime. That's it. As for things after death, he can't care about it, and he doesn't want to worry too much.

If Sun Quan can be as powerful and promising as Fei Qian, Zhang Zhao will probably try his best to assist Zuo and let Sun Quan climb to a higher position. But then again, what is the weight of Qiusi and what is Sun Quan's weight? If your lord is like this, then you just have to balance yourself day by day, try your best to maintain your wealth, power and status without suffering any losses. Zhang Zhao also has such confidence that if he survives for a day, as long as his head is clear, he can barely maintain the overall situation in Jiangdong from collapse.

As for Zhou Yu...

Zhang Zhao sighed slightly.

Pity.

Zhou Yu obviously didn't cherish himself too much, and that's why he ended up like this. It is naturally impossible for Zhang Zhao to see the lessons learned from the past and still defend the Sun family with all his strength.

The world is big, but one's own life is the most important.

Loyalty has its limits.

Just like Zhou Yu's loyalty to the Sun family, Zhou Hui can't quite understand it.

Zhou Hui naturally heard the rumors about Baiyi Clinic.

Many times, if there is really no hope, then they will resolutely accept everything, just like the working people who have been forced to a dead end by the capitalists will inevitably resolutely resist.

And if before this decision, the capitalists throw out some good, fun, and exciting things, and then shout don’t be disappointed, don’t despair, Kang Yikang’s buttocks and Naizi, play with virtual videos and The game makes the fireworks bursting out on the screen of the illusory level promotion system become a personal pleasure and a comforting anesthetic for a painful life, which naturally reduces risks and enhances controllability.

Most people rely on hope to support their waists, which are about to be bent.

If there is no hope, give some hope, even if it is virtual sweetness.

Zhou Hui now feels that Baiyi Clinic is hope and sweetness.

Although Zhou Hui and Zhou Yu are not very close relatives and can only be regarded as brothers, as a member of Jiangbei, he is still very concerned about Zhou Yu's situation in Jiangdong.

Because the Zhou family is no longer what it used to be.

The Zhou family was very prominent before.

Zhou Yu's grandfather Zhou Jing and Zhou Jing's son Zhou Zhong were both Han Taiwei. Zhou Jinghou became the governor of Yuzhou, appointed Chen Fan of Runan as his assistant, and Li Ying, Xun Kui, Du Mi of Yingchuan, and Zhu Yu of Pei State as his assistants. The Zhou family can be regarded as recommending these elders.

Zhou Yu's father, Zhou Yi, was the order of Luoyang.

As for Zhou Jing and Zhou Rong, they were also quite impressive. They served as Shangshu Ling and Yingchuan Prefect. When they were old and sick and begged to return home, they were honored in all the counties and counties they visited.

Calculating it this way, the Zhou family has already had a hundred years of accumulation and glory. However, when it came to Zhou Yu's generation, it was a bit sluggish. At least it was not as famous as Zhou Rong and Zhou Jing...

When Zhou Hui met Zhou Yu, he couldn't help but sigh.

Zhou Hui was also very passionate back then.

As early as when Dong Zhuo brought trouble to Luoyang, Zhou Hui also responded to Yuan's call and led more than a thousand people to Luoyang, preparing to dedicate his loyalty to the emperor of the Han Dynasty. It's a pity that Zhou Yu is very strong in military ability, but Zhou Hui is very good at drinking and eating meat and having banquets. Therefore, Zhou Hui was attacked by Dong Zhuo's partial army on the way, and suffered heavy casualties. His own life was lost, and almost all the followers and servants he had gathered were wiped out.

Regarding this matter, the princes who were gathering in Suanzao expressed their indignation, sadness, and regret, and expressed strong protest to Dong Zhuo. Then they continued to hold a banquet in Suanzao to discuss countermeasures...

From that moment on, Zhou Hui knew what loyalty really was.

"I've met Brother Cong..." Zhou Yu greeted Zhou Hui.

Zhou Hui also bowed in return.

The blood relationship between the two of them is not very close, and their appearance is even more different.

Zhou Hui is fatter and Zhou Yu is thinner.

Zhou Hui is a direct descendant of Zhou Jing, but Zhou Yu is not. The two of them are just distant relatives. After the death of Zhou Yu's father, he never thought of seeking refuge with Zhou Hui, who was a rich man with fine clothes and angry horses. And the same Zhou Hui also did not want to find Zhou Yu after being directly inflicted heavy casualties by Dong Zhuo's side troops.

If it hadn't been for this rumor that Jiangdong wouldn't let Zhou Yu go to see a doctor, Zhou Hui might not have come to Jiangdong.

But after all, blood is thicker than water, and distant relatives are also relatives. Especially when the children of the Zhou family are basically not very conspicuous and do not hold any important positions, but only Zhou Yu stands out.

"Brother Gong Jin..." Zhou Hui didn't have anything to say to Zhou Yu. After all, for many years, the two of them had only heard about each other and had never met each other. They were not familiar with each other at all, so they didn't have much friendship, so they started to influence each other. After looking at it, he lowered his voice and said, "Brother Yu, please forgive me for being so shallow, but now... could I be trapped here?" Brother Yu brought some guests this time and is good at concealing his whereabouts..."

Zhou Yu was stunned for a moment.

Even though he was extremely smart, he never thought that Zhou Hui came here for this matter...

After a moment of astonishment, Zhou Yu felt a hint of warmth in his heart, and couldn't help but smile. The whole room was suddenly filled with brightness. On the contrary, Zhou Hui was also stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help but have a look of anger on his face. He began to wonder if it was Jiang Dong. This guy named Sun was greedy for Zhou Yu's beauty, so he deliberately refused to let her go.

Zhou Yu didn't know that in just such a short time, Zhou Hui had already begun to orchestrate a big drama in his mind, "Brother came from Jiangbei, I don't know how to say it?" 』

"Um. Zhou Hui sighed and looked around.

Zhou Yu smiled and waved his hand, "Everyone inside and outside this place is my confidant, so I don't have to worry." 』

Zhou Hui raised his eyebrows and secretly used the cover of his body to point at the armored guard standing under the hall.

Zhou Yu raised his voice and said: "Zhou Lang!" 』

The armored guard from the hall immediately walked into the hall, his eyes focused, "My lord!" What are your orders? 』

"Come," Zhou Yu gestured, "this is a certain Cong brother, whose name is Hui and whose courtesy name is Ziguang." 』

Zhou Fang bowed his hands and bowed to Zhou Hui.

Zhou Hui also quickly stood up and returned the courtesy.

After some fuss, Zhou Hui realized that the soldiers inside and outside the hall were private soldiers of the Zhou family, not soldiers sent by Sun Quan to monitor Zhou Yu under house arrest. He took a long breath and relaxed a little, "In that case, Gong Jindi Why not quickly go to Chang'an for treatment? I heard that there is a hundred medical clinics in Chang'an, and there are several famous doctors today who can cure all kinds of diseases. For example, Dr. Hua is said to be able to remove serious diseases directly from the chest and abdomen, and cure dying and dying people. It is very powerful..."

Zhou Hui murmured, not understanding that Zhou Yu didn't cherish his own life.

Since there is no restriction of movement, why not seek medical treatment?

There is no doubt that the Hundred Medical Center will not allow doctors to come to Jiangdong, so they can only go there to treat diseases, and Zhou Hui feels that his father's name may still be of use to protect Zhou Yu in Chang'an. There is still no problem with the treatment.

Zhou Hui's father, Zhou Zhong, became an official when he was young. He was promoted from an ordinary official position to a minister of agriculture. Later, he also served as a Taiwei for a period of time, recording Shangshu affairs. Later, due to the disaster, he was restored to the position of Weiwei. He once followed Liu Xie back to Luoyang from Chang'an, and he was credited with hard work until he died of illness.

So on the whole, Zhou Zhong has a bad reputation both in Cao Cao and Chang'an. If Zhou Hui really uses it, it is impossible to say that he can really escort Zhou Yu to the Baiyi Pavilion for treatment...

Of course, Zhou Hui is not completely selfless. He also has his own considerations.

When Zhou Hui was young, because his grandfather and father were both high-ranking officials, he could be regarded as a third-generation official, or a fourth-generation official. He had been rich and well-clothed since he was a child, so he didn't learn much. When I was young, I only knew how to take Meiji to play, horse racing, dog fighting, flying eagles, and everything was possible.

Well, it's basically like some second- and third-generation animals in later generations, who often form animal alliances such as cows, horses, leopards, snakes, etc. to blow up the streets.

Zhou Hui is good at eating, drinking and having fun, but when it comes to real skills like writing and martial arts, Zhou Hui doesn't have it. Zhou Hui didn't take it seriously at first, thinking that because of the name of the Zhou family, the sky would not fall. Later, he was beaten randomly by Dong Zhuo's partial army. The Hakkas suffered heavy casualties. The thousand-man army was instantly disintegrated. Even Zhou Hui himself died. In order to survive, Zhou Zhong later died of illness in a foreign country, and during the period of mourning, he encountered Yuan Shu causing trouble to the local area, etc. Zhou Hui felt that in troubled times, if he had no skills and only knew how to eat, drink and have fun, if he encountered a rebel army, he would really What's going on? It's really...

Not only can't you protect yourself, but you can't even protect your own children!

But by this time, it was already too late for Zhou Hui to want to study. One was because he was older and his memory could not be compared with when he was young. The other was that there were too many internal affairs in the family, unlike when he was a child, his grandfather and father were responsible for everything. Above, you can concentrate on your studies without any worries. Zhou Hui missed the opportunity to learn, and even if he tried to make up for it later, he couldn't make up for it.

Therefore, Zhou Hui began to pay attention to Zhou Yu, after all, they were related by blood. But Zhou Yu had a lot of power and glory in Jiangdong before, so it was meaningless for Zhou Hui to come here consciously. This time after hearing about the Hundred Medical Center, he felt it was an opportunity. If Zhou Yu is restrained by Sun Quan, then the diners he brings will naturally be a good story, and Zhou Yu will also have to accept his love.

If Zhou Yu is not restricted, then Zhou Hui will also persuade Zhou Yu to go to Chang'an Baiyi Medical Center for treatment. After all, he cannot write two characters for Zhou in one stroke. Whether the Zhou family is in Jiangbei or Jiangdong, it can now be called a card. There is only Zhou Yu. If he falls like this, wouldn't the whole Zhou family...

It is true that Sun Quan is the lord of Jiangdong, but this big man still has the emperor!

Loyalty has its limits.

But Zhou Hui didn't expect that after Zhou Yu heard what he said, he remained silent for a while and shook his head slightly, "I know my kindness, but I don't want to go to the Hundred Medical Center..."

"What? ” Zhou Hui’s eyes widened, Zhou Yu, are you stupid?

Don't even care about your life?

Don't you want to talk about Jiangdong's loyalty? Now that even the Han Dynasty is no longer protected, and the emperor's ministers don't have much loyalty anymore, why do they care about the loyalty here in Jiangdong? Compared with loyalty and one's own life, which one is more important?
