Chapter 496: Sun Quan will not sit still
Zhou Yu was not surprised when he heard Ling Tong's request. Everything was within his expectation.
Therefore, Zhou Yu also agreed to Ling Tong's conditions, and that night, Zhou Yu secretly went to see Sun Ce.
The two brothers had not seen each other for more than a year. Before, Zhou Yu thought that Sun Ce had been assassinated. This time, after the two met, they also cried bitterly.
After expressing his thoughts for more than a year, Zhou Yu finally revealed the reason for his visit.
When Sun Ce heard this, he immediately said that he came back this time not for the position of Marquis of Wucheng, nor for the Lord of Jiangdong.
If the people of Shanyue had not been forcibly recruited to join the war, Sun Ce would probably have been hiding in the mountain stronghold in Shanyue.
At this time, Zhou Yu also knew the truth of the matter.
He originally thought that Sun Ce deliberately went to the territory of the Shanyue people to ask them to borrow troops in order to restore his position.
As a result, he did not expect that there would be such twists and turns, but in this way, Zhou Yu also understood that Sun Ce had never wanted to retaliate against Sun Quan.
In this way, things become simpler.
After Sun Ce understood Zhou Yu's intentions, he immediately wrote a personal letter to Sun Quan. He even bluntly stated in the letter that he could no longer be the lord of Jiangdong.
When the time comes, he will take Da Qiao back to the Shanyue territory, but he needs Sun Quan to promise to treat Shanyue well in the future.
At the same time, Sun Ce also gave Sun Quan advice and asked him to reconsider his relationship with the Han Dynasty.
After all, their father had always regarded himself as a good minister of the Han Dynasty, and he also participated in the battles of the princes against Dong.
As sons of men, they should inherit their father's last wishes.
There is no problem if you are ambitious, but you cannot betray your ancestors.
After writing the letter, Sun Ce gave it to Zhou Yu and asked him to take it back to Jianye.
Zhou Yu received Sun Ce's autographed letter and returned to Ling Tong's camp without stopping.
The next morning, this letter was placed on Sun Quan's desk.
When Sun Quan saw this letter, he was of course extremely angry and kicked the case in front of him with his kick.
He felt that Sun Ce was humiliating him.
Sun Quan thought that since Sun Ce said that he had no idea about the position of the Lord of Jiangdong, every word in the letter was in the tone of teaching him a lesson.
Since it is said that he, Sun Quan, is the lord of Jiangdong, why does he have to give orders in every detail?
Therefore, Sun Quan is very unhappy now.
In fact, it is understandable that at this time, Sun Quan was only an 18-year-old child. In modern terms, it was a rebellious period.
In addition, he became the Lord of Jiangdong at a young age and the compliments from the aristocratic families around him made his psychology somewhat distorted.
In psychological terms, it means being self-centered and requires a certain amount of psychological counseling.
In the words of today's parents, if you need to be punished, you can just give him a beating.
Of course, this kind of education method is extremely undesirable, but it is undeniable that it is very effective.
But it's a pity that Sun Quan's father Sun Jian died early and no one was able to attack him. And he regarded his brother as his enemy and asked Sun Ce to attack him, which would probably be counterproductive.
Sun Quan couldn't swallow this, so he wanted to take revenge on Sun Ce, so he called Zhang Zhao.
Zhang Zhao has to say that he is capable, but his buttocks are crooked. He himself was the mastermind behind Sun Ce's assassination.
Sun Quan came to discuss with him. What could be discussed? Zhang Zhao definitely did not dare to let Sun Ce return to Jianye.
Otherwise, not only will there be variables in the alliance with Yuan Shao, but even his own Zhang family will probably have to follow suit.
Therefore, Zhang Zhao forcefully instilled poisonous chicken soup into Sun Quan for a while. What kind of gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, what kind of man does things without following trivial matters, and what kind of winner is the king and the loser is a bandit.
He even threatened Sun Quan, saying that Sun Ce's words are nice now. Once Sun Ce enters Jianye and all the military power is in Sun Ce's hands, it will not be what Sun Ce says.
Originally, the Jiangdong General Group was interested in Sun Ce. With the support of this group of generals, it would be effortless for Sun Ce to take over Jianye.
At that time, Sun Quan was just a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, allowing Sun Ce to flatten and round him.
Even if the military power is in Sun Ce's hands, if he wants to kill Sun Quan, there won't even be a splash.
The Koto Military General Group even clapped and applauded.
To put it bluntly, even if Sun Ce didn't think about dealing with Sun Quan at first, would those rough guys be willing?
These generals all followed Sun Jian and Sun Ce to conquer the world. Their relationship with Sun Ce was better than that of his younger brother.
Once a group of generals get into trouble and say they want to kill Sun Quan to vent their anger, do you think Sun Ce will take action?
You know, Sun Ce himself is a person worthy of being angry. Otherwise, where would the title of little bully come from?
Under the coercion of all the generals in Jiangdong, Sun Ce would definitely kill Sun Quan without hesitation to appease the generals group.
Therefore, Sun Ce must be able to return to Jianye, and Sun Ce must die! After all, things have reached this point, and both parties have long been fighting to the death.
Where did he give up his position, and why did he give up his position for the Shanyue people?
When did I, a big man, care about Shanyue's thoughts? Therefore, Sun Ce's words about giving up the throne and fighting for freedom for the Shanyue people are all lies!
It was just an excuse for Sun Ce to raise an army for himself.
When Sun Quan heard Zhang Zhao's words, he became even more convinced that he was right, but the current situation is just as Zhang Zhao said.

Jiangdong military generals collectively favored Sun Ce. On the one hand, the morale of his soldiers was not good. On the other hand, they were young and newly promoted generals who were no match for Sun Ce.
If he forces a fight with Sun Ce, he may have little chance of winning.
Sun Ce has the support of military commanders. He can be defeated once or twice. As long as he succeeds once, Sun Quan will die.
Faced with such a situation, Zhang Zhao had no good solution. After all, Zhang Zhao was good at internal affairs, but not so skilled at marching and forming formations.
In the end, Zhang Zhao, who really couldn't think of a good solution, came up with a solution for Sun Quan, that is, he suggested that Sun Quan fight in person.
But at the same time, the family members of Jiangdong generals must also be brought with them. If these people do not obey the orders, they will be killed immediately.
Moreover, he had to bring Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao with him. He didn't believe that Zhou Yu and Sun Ce would watch his beautiful wife die in front of his eyes.
Another point is that Zhang Zhao told Sun Quan that since Ling Tong's father was a die-hard loyalist to Sun Ce, he had to guard against it. He wanted to get the military power in Ling Tong's hands back and let Ling Tong only act as a strong general charging into the battle.
Even though he knew that Ling Tong was loyal to him, Sun Quan felt that Zhang Zhao's words made sense.
That's what Sun Quan is like, he only wants to believe what he believes. It has to be said that the Emperor of Soochow at this time has not yet grown up.
In history, Sun Quan also had various problems, but he definitely dealt with things more maturely than he does now.
Even if they are suspicious of the people under their command, they will not show it openly, but secretly take precautions.
But no matter what, the current Sun Quan is not the future Emperor of Soochow. He directly agreed to the method proposed by Zhang Zhao without even thinking about it.
