Perhaps when every dynasty is about to fall, some people will always be alarmed and shout loudly to warn, for example, shouting, "The big man is almost over! It's over!"
But even if everyone hears this voice, they will still do different things.
Then in various dynasties, various people would shout when they sensed danger, but still no one listened.
Maybe it’s because he cries wolf too many times, and it attracts a lot of ridicule.
Look at that idiot!
Sun Jian died halfway, and Sun Ce died before he could rise. It may be a coincidence to some extent, but for the Shandong gentry and the literati in Jiangdong who admired Chen Wei very much, this may mean that
A kind of meaning——
The Sun family doesn’t have that kind of destiny!
In fact, from the perspective of a bystander, the things that Jiang Dong was arguing with each other were not a big deal, more like a farce. However, in the eyes of the people involved at the time, these things couldn't be more correct.
Something happened.
Is this "party struggle" atmosphere in Jiangdong entirely caused by the Sun family?
Obviously not.
In the early days of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang had insufficient knowledge and did not understand how to govern the country. Even though he understood people's human nature, he could not rely on him to keep an eye on the rules and regulations every day, so he was inevitably reduced to a peach in the hands of the gentry's children.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty wanted to solve this problem, but he didn't think about how to solve it, so Dong Zhongshu gave him a walking stick. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty immediately felt that walking on three legs would be stable, but he did not expect that walking on three legs would be stable.
He was stable, but he could never run again, and he even forgot how to walk with his legs.
During the period of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, he also wanted to curb the growing number of local aristocratic families, but the party ban only stimulated greater party strife. What some later keyboard warriors called a smart strategy of pulling one faction to fight another actually did not have an advanced program.
It is nothing more than idiotic dreams. Just like the later generations of the Fruit Party also shouted the heroic slogan "One hundred thousand youths, one hundred thousand blood", there are also a small number of people who are worried about governing the country cleanly, but they cannot break away from the shackles of class, so they can't escape the shackles of class.
Can't get up.
Fights in Jiangdong are usually limited to lip service.
But occasionally there is blood.
When literati quarrel, they basically just do it if they don't agree with it, and it can still lead to death.
The general method is to first occupy the moral high ground, think of yourself as a gentleman, and position your opponent as a villain. Regardless of whether there is evidence of crime or not, first say that the opponent has bad intentions. This kind of heart-breaking argument makes people speechless. Literary people are acting like hooligans.
That is to use the most high-sounding reasons to do the most despicable things, just like some experts said that air pollution is caused by bicycles, and said that farmers can buy houses in the city and drive back to the countryside to farm...
The key point is that these literati families, similar to those of later generations, still more or less hold the power of the country and influence the allocation of the country's resources, so they are very harmful.
So, this kind of literati race that cannot be killed and eliminated in future generations, can they be eliminated completely in the Jiangdong area of the Han Dynasty?
Therefore, it is not surprising at all that Sun Quan has such an extremely contradictory attitude towards Zhou Yu. Sun Quan's extreme lack of security caused him to suspect that everyone was out to harm him, which also made Sun Quan cling to the power in his hands.
He doesn't want to let go because this is his last straw.
Sun Quan and Liu Bei are completely different.
Liu Bei had a rough life. He only gained power when he was old, and he was able to take and let go of power. But after Sun Quan died, would he leave power to his own children or his brother's posthumous son?
Obviously, Sun Quan couldn't let it go. Even though Sun Quan inherited his power from his elder brother, he still believed that this power was his own, and he must leave it to his children, and he regarded this as a rule.
If Sun Quan had not been helpless and desperate, he would not have dared to delegate power to Zhou Yu.
Because he was afraid, he was afraid that what Sun Ce said before would really become a reality.
He is afraid of losing power and everything. Although he will say that it is for the Sun family's inheritance, in fact, he knows in his heart that it is only for himself!
When Sun Ce fought against Jiangdong in the early years, it was undoubtedly a clever move.
But soon, Sun Ce made a stupid move.
In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it is said that Sun Ce exchanged Yuan Shu's troops for Yuan Shu's troops with the Imperial Seal, but in fact the reason why Yuan Shu agreed to Sun Ce going to Jiangdong was because Sun Ce said that his father had been kind to the Jiangdong nobles before, and he could easily capture Jiangdong for Yuan Shu.
, and it didn’t require much investment from Yuan Shu, so Yuan Shu returned Sun Ce’s troops to him without giving him any additional troops.
So from this perspective, conquering Jiangdong was the highlight of Sun Ce's life.
But Sun Ce is too realistic...
Perhaps in later generations, being more realistic would be a good thing, and could even become a praised merit. Unfortunately, in the Han Dynasty, what is valued is loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness.
Therefore, in the eyes of the literati in Jiangdong, Sun Quan's father killed the prefect for no reason, and his brother killed the nobles for no reason. Now the Sun family's weak son says he wants to be honest and truthful, good, and beautiful. Who believes it?
Perhaps when Sun Ce was dying, he also knew that what was left to Sun Quan was a mess, so Sun Ce once said to Zhang Zhao, "If Zhongmou doesn't do anything, you will take it from yourself!"
In fact, it is similar to what Liu Bei said in Baidi City. The reason why Mr. Luo deleted Sun Ce's words was to make this sentence the copyright of Liu Bei, otherwise it would not have the shocking effect of Tuogu in Baidi City.
On this basis, it is very easy to understand Sun Quan's ambivalence towards Zhou Yu.
The same is true for Sun Quan and Zhang Zhao.
He both trusted Zhou Yu and was wary of him.
We are not wary of Zhou Yu as a person, but of all the military forces represented by Zhou Yu.
Sun Quan knew very well that if these military generals were allowed to expand in strength, they might still be able to control Zhou Yu now that he was alive, but what if Zhou Yu died? At that time, the arrogant generals with excessive military power would gather together and elect Zhou Yu.
If the child comes to power, will Sun Quan have to step down obediently?
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! If such a situation really occurs, what will Sun Quan do to fight against the military?
Take the Tianling Cap?
Even if Zhou Yu is indeed trustworthy and will not betray the Sun family, what about Zhou Yu's brothers, children, and relatives? Sun Quan is scared. He feels that the word "Zhou Yu" is not just one person, but a large group of people!
Both Sun Ce and Liu Bei have the courage to tell the world that if their heir fails to live up to expectations, then "you will take it yourself!"
But Sun Quan didn't have the guts. He only dared to shout, "Touch your conscience!"
In fact, Sun Quan still has a chance to regain the confidence of the Jiangdong nobles even now.
Is it just...
…
…
Zhou Yu was touching his chest right now.
It’s not really a matter of conscience, but his condition has been recurring for a long time.
As the saying goes, men are afraid of coughing and women are afraid of diarrhea.
In order to cure his illness, Zhou Yu also took a golden elixir. Although it stimulated his body's potential for a while, it actually drained his vitality. Once the effects of the medicine wore off, it became more serious.
Taking medicine randomly can really kill you!
At this moment, in the study room in the inner courtyard of the mansion, Zhou Yu was sitting opposite Lu Su, who had hurriedly arrived. Both of them looked ugly.
Zhou Yu was ugly and sick, while Lu Su was ugly and anxious.
The decoration expenses in the Zhou family's study are naturally among the best in Jiangdong. Whether it is hanging on the wall, placed on the desk, or the most inconspicuous dust collector in the corner, they are all exquisitely carved.
Carve carefully.
But at this moment, the two of them turned a blind eye to these artifacts, leaving only sadness and sadness in their eyes.
"Jiangdong..." I don't know how long it took before Lu Su let out a long sigh, "How could these people do this! How could they do this!"
Even Sun Quan knew what Zhu Zhi was doing, how could Zhou Yu and Lu Su not understand?
Zhu Zhi was protecting himself and the Zhu family's status.
But in order to protect himself, what Zhu Zhi is doing now is tantamount to selling Jiangdong.
He gave up Jiangdong's future just to make the Zhu family live a better life.
Speaking of which, of course there is something wrong with Jiangdong's system.
This is also a problem left over from the previous generation of the Sun family.
Because Sun Jian didn't understand politics, Sun Ce didn't understand either. It wasn't until his head was badly bruised that he finally managed to turn around, but it was already hard to come back.
Zhou Yu is also aware of the flaws in Jiangdong's system, so he has been trying to reduce the influence of the older generation as much as possible, including himself.
There is nothing wrong with everyone being selfish, but if you use the saying that everyone is selfish as a shield to do sneaky things, then whose problem is it?
Whether Zhou Yu had selfish motives or not, he did.
But Zhou Yu at least did not put his own selfishness above the Sun family's foundation.
Lu Su also had selfish motives, but at the same time, he would not abandon public service for selfish reasons, so Zhou Yu and Lu Su could chat and get along well.
But the problem is that Zhou Yu and Lu Su met their lord Sun Quan who also had selfish motives.
"I'll go find my lord..." Zhou Yu coughed twice and said softly.
His body is actually very weak, and he cannot even speak louder, otherwise it will easily cause severe coughing.
According to this situation, if Sun Quan had any difficult questions, he should come to his door to "ask for advice", but now it was Zhou Yu who had to take the initiative to come to his door to "ask for advice".
"Gong Jin! Your body... you can rest here in peace! I'll go first!" Lu Su stood up and walked out without saying a word, "Here comes someone! Prepare your horse!"
Zhou Yu stretched out his hand to call out, but was left coughing. When the coughing was over, Lu Su also left, and he could only close his eyes and sigh.
Sigh faintly.
…
…
"Zijing wants to meet someone?"
Sun Quan frowned.
After a moment of silence, Sun Quan nodded, "Please!"
When Lu Su saw Sun Quan, he fell to the ground and said, "My lord! We are in trouble!"
Even if Sun Quan pretended to be calm, after hearing this, his heart would beat wildly and his face would twitch. You Qiang pretended to smile and said, "Is Zijing joking? What's so difficult about Jiangdong... Jiangdong?"
Lu Su raised his head with a serious face, "It's not Jiangdong who's in trouble, it's our lord who's in trouble!"
Sun Quan finally changed his expression, "But someone is plotting rebellion?!"
Lu Su shook his head and said, "There is no rebellion."
"Oh..." Sun Quan sat down again, "Then...where do you start with these difficult words? Come on, Zijing, sit down first, and then talk after you sit down."
Lu Su thanked him, then walked aside and sat down, "Now that Fei and Cao are fighting, what do you think of your lord?"
Sun Quan was silent for a moment, shook his head and said, "The jury is still out."
"My lord, who do you think can win?" Lu Su asked again.
Sun Quan sighed, "I originally thought that Prime Minister Cao had millions of people, and he could use the name of the emperor to conquer Guanzhong, and there would be no disadvantage. But now...it seems that, well, Fei Qiao is really tenacious, and he has taken control of Hedong to fight against Cao's army."
Cao Jun's expedition is going on for a long time, and the food and grass may be unsustainable... Now it seems that Fei Hussar has a better chance of winning..."
Lu Su said in a deep voice: "In this case, Zhu Junli attacked Jiangling. On the surface, he won the county, but in fact he harmed the lord!"
"This...how do you say this?" Sun Quan felt a little proud when he saw Lu Su impeaching Zhu Zhi. After all, Zhu Zhi represented the military's veteran system. Lu Su made it clear that Zhu Zhi was guilty, so
This means that Lu Su and Zhu Zhi will not wear the same robe.
That's good.
Lu Su added: "Zhu Junli has captured Jiangling, which means that the lord's retreat has been cut off. This incident is not only an evil to the prime minister, but also the lord's betrayal and oath and alliance, which makes the lord bear the name of injustice. If there is a crisis in the future, there will be someone else."
Who can help? If the world is unified now, everyone in Jiangdong can surrender, but the lord cannot surrender."
Sun Quan let out a long breath.
Just like the Battle of Chibi in history, the literati in Jiangdong did not like to see Sun Quan, so they did not care about Sun Quan's future.
"What's the plan now?" Sun Quan asked.
"My lord, you should join forces with Cao to fight against Fei!" Lu Su said in a deep voice, "Many princes in the world have perished, but only Fei Cao exists in the north of the Yangtze River. Now that Cao has been unable to fight for a long time, Fei's power has become stronger. If my lord wants to conquer Jiangdong, he should join forces with Cao."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Sun Quan frowned and said: "Now in the battle between Fei and Cao, if Cao's army wins, they can enter Guanzhong and capture Longyou in the north. After it is calmed down, Jiangdong will be in danger. By then, peace will be achieved."
Can you resist Cao Hu?"
In the previous strategic layout, Jiangdong actually had the intention of stabbing Cao Cao in the back. The purpose was to let Fei and Cao fight each other in the north and give Jiangdong the opportunity and time to develop.
But the problem now is that Cao Cao is far from being as powerful as he seems on the surface.
Although Zhou Yu's initial estimate was wrong, he was a first-class figure after all. Based on various intelligence, he quickly judged that Cao Cao was now at a great disadvantage. Especially the news passed back by his informants in Yuzhou made Zhou Yu feel that Fei Qian was too deep.
It is estimated that he is actually a powerful enemy in this world.
In the current era of the Han Dynasty, there are really not many nobles who understand the sense of confidentiality.
Although the information Zhou Yu received was already relatively unknown, and the timeliness was very poor, it still allowed Zhou Yu to detect some of Fei Qian's clues.
Especially the Treaty of Shanshan made Zhou Yu sigh.
At first, Zhou Yu, like the Shandong gentry, thought Fei Qian was bragging, but to his surprise, he actually received Shanshan's letter of surrender and the signed treaty under the city of Shanshan.
Then the Duan clan of Longyou brought people from the Western Regions to Xu County, causing a sensation.
The Jiangdong spies naturally saw it with their own eyes and heard it with their own ears.
Zhou Yu judged that the incident in Shanshan was not that Cao Cao did not want to cover it up, but that he simply could not cover it up.
And from a certain perspective, when the Shanshan Kingdom's treaty was delivered to Xu County, it had been proven that Fei Qian had actually been prepared...
This preparation is not just for the Western Regions.
Therefore, Zhou Yu pretended that if he were Cao Cao, after learning the news, the first thing he would consider was to withdraw his troops.
But Cao Cao refused to withdraw his troops!
Then Zhou Yu understood that it wasn't that Cao Cao didn't want to withdraw, but it was probably that Cao Cao simply couldn't withdraw!
Zhou Yu also understood the urine properties of the Jiangdong gentry, so after he made some inquiries about the situation of the gentry and literati in Shandong, Zhou Yu determined one thing.
If Cao Cao loses this battle, he may end up in Heluo for the rest of his life...
For Jiangdong, there is more or less a big river, which is a natural danger. But for Shandong, is there any place like a big river that can stop Fei Qian's cavalry?
No, no!
So Cao Cao could only grit his teeth and hold on. Cao Cao sent Shanshan and others from the Western Regions to Xu County. Perhaps some of them wanted to let the Shandong gentry and literati know that now Fei Qian's soldiers and horses are strong, and the country can be destroyed in a matter of seconds.
Only through loyalty and unity can we resist.
But it is obvious that the children of the Shandong gentry are exactly the same as the Jiangdong people...
If you have full points in internal fighting skills, you will be embarrassed to meet people if you are one level below. But if you are a pair of outsiders, then if you have full points in knee skills, saving a foreign penis is worthy of being a lifelong honorary medal for studying medicine and serving as an official.
"Prime Minister Cao..." After hearing Lu Su's analysis, Sun Quan still hesitated, "Is it really so... um, so decadent?"
Isn't this possible?
It’s no wonder that Sun Quan is suspicious, because whether it is Shandong or Jiangdong, these counselors like to come up first and say that Sun Quan’s seal is dark and a disaster is coming. At first, Sun Quan was frightened, but later he discovered
, these idiots regarded Sun Quan as an idiot, so their suspicions naturally became more and more serious, and their immunity to the so-called catastrophe was getting higher and higher.
Moreover, Sun Quan and Zhou Yu, Lu Su and others focused more on military considerations. Sun Quan's thinking mode focused more on politics.
"So, what should Zijing mean?" Sun Quan did not express his thoughts directly.
Lu Su said in a deep voice: "My lord, please immediately remove Zhu Junli from the post of governor and return Jiangling to Cao's army! Re-establish the alliance and fight against the Hussars together!"
Sun Quan stood up and walked around the hall with his hands behind his back.
It is not difficult to depose Zhu Zhi, because Zhu Zhi himself suffered a defeat, and he did not obey orders and attacked Jiangling without permission. Sun Quan had some ideas to get rid of Zhu Zhi, but the problem was how to restore old friendship with Cao Cao and reunite...
Isn't this like stabbing Cao Cao in the anus and then saying sorry, my hand slipped?
"If my lord has this intention, Su is willing to serve as an envoy and go north to renew the alliance!" Lu Su said, cupping his hands.
"Well..." Sun Quan pondered, and after a moment, he asked with slight hesitation, "Captain...how is your condition?"
