The shortest way from Xindu, or from the vicinity of Yi County to Wu County, is naturally by water.
After crossing the Jianjiang River and heading eastward, when we reached the waterway in Zhejiang, the water in the river was already much calmer.
This journey took about three days. Every day, Yi Xiaotian was thinking about how to bring Sun Shangxiang out of Jiangdong safely. In addition, he could also disturb the marriage and make the Sun and Liu families not turn against each other, but also
There has to be a gap between them.
For this reason, Yi Xiaotian decided that he would still need enough information - so the next stop was tentatively decided to be the Qiantang area in Fuchun.
In fact, since entering the Zhejiang water system, the Jiangdong area where Yi Xiaotian and others are located is different from the Jiangdong area represented by Poyang, Yuzhang, Luling, etc.
The specific manifestation is that starting from the Zhejiang river system, whether going north or south, Wu County and Kuaiji County are the territories of the so-called aristocratic families.
Among them, the gentry in Wu County are particularly numerous. Needless to say, Gu, Lu, Zhu and Zhang have been famous for a long time. These are all powerful clans with a century of history, and their heritage is simply not comparable to that of ordinary gentry.
In addition to these, some emerging gentry have gradually entered the political stage of Jiangdong, and the Qiantang Quan clan is one of them.
Quan Rou, who once served as the governor of Guiyang, and Quan Cong, Quan Rou's son, who is now gradually rising to prominence, are one of the representatives of the young generals of Soochow. It is said that Quan Cong has a close relationship with Lu Xun of the Lu family in Wu County.
In addition to the emerging gentry, in fact, many of the younger generations of talents who have emerged from ancient aristocratic families have already become famous. They have a faint momentum of surpassing the glory achieved by their elders, and they are looked up to by the people of Jiangdong.
For example, Gu Shao of the Gu family, as the eldest son of Gu Yong who had previously lost power, was actually more famous than Quan Cong and Lu Xun. He and his slightly older uncle Lu Ji were both outstanding among the young talents in Jiangdong. They could not help but be knowledgeable and ambitious.
Yuanda has a high reputation among the younger generation.
There are also two brothers, such as Zhu Zhi and Zhu Yi, who are representatives of the younger generation of the Zhu family in Wu County. Although they are only seventeen or eighteen years old, they have already shown bravery that is not inferior to their elder Zhu Huan.
The only problem is - because after Sun Quan purged the court and overturned the situation of the aristocratic family in power, all these people basically stood on the opposite side of Sun Quan.
Yes - Jiangdong has countless young talents and countless stars of tomorrow, but none of these people can be used by Sun Quan.
The Zhu family is a relatively special existence among them - as a family of good generals, they pursue military glory on the battlefield, but their relationship with Sun Quan can only be said to be lukewarm.
The remaining families include the Lu family, where Lu Xun is obviously supported by Sun Quan. All the aristocratic families have a very bad and disgusting attitude towards Sun Quan.
However, because the time was not ripe enough, the savings of the aristocratic family were squandered by Sun Quan, and the aristocratic families had to go into hibernation one after another.
If there is really a chance to defeat Sun Quan, or make him give in, I believe these people will never be stingy with their methods.
——
Everything above was analyzed by Yi Xiaotian based on Sun Shangxiang’s intelligence in the past few days.
Not to mention how surprised a person like Zhao Yun, who rarely comes into contact with such official confrontations, was.
Sun Shangxiang and Ying'er Ning'er's attitude towards Yi Xiaotian's analysis was almost overwhelming - in their opinion, just based on Sun Shangxiang's vague memories, Yi Xiaotian could figure out the relationship between Sun Quan and the big family today.
These twists and turns are almost impossible for humans to do.
"Speaking of which...sir...why do you cherish these young talents from Jiangdong so much? Could it be...could it be that you had investigated them in advance?"
Sun Shangxiang finally asked what he wanted to ask the most.
But obviously, it was impossible for Yi Xiaotian to tell him that he had a knowledge reserve of thousands of years, and that he could easily derive the age and career history of this group of historical figures based on historical records.
In the end, all Sun Shangxiang received was Yi Xiaotian's mysterious remarks:
"I watch the sky at night, and the stars tell me these answers."
"It's really boring. If you don't want to say it, just say it -"
Realizing that Yi Xiaotian was deceiving him, Sun Shangxiang left angrily.
The night was still peaceful. Because the rich woman joined him midway and there were so many people, Yi Xiaotian simply rented a big boat. The boat sailed leisurely on the river. Under the moonlight, the water surface was sparkling.
Jiang Feng stood at the bow of the ship, and Yi Xiaotian looked extremely comfortable.
At noon tomorrow, the ship will probably be able to arrive in the Fuchun area. After understanding the dilemma Sun Quan is facing now, Yi Xiaotian's plan gradually becomes fuller.
"All that's left is the final word..."
Yi Xiaotian murmured to himself.
There were many things he needed to think about. It didn't mean that he only had to think about this one thing after he agreed to take Sun Shangxiang away from Jiangdong.
There are always countless connections between everything in the world, and one move can affect the whole body. In modern terms, it is the butterfly effect, which should not be underestimated.
If just taking Sun Shangxiang away could solve the problem, Yi Xiaotian wouldn't have to think about it for so long.
He still has many things to deal with at the same time - this chance coincidence is absolutely impossible to replicate. Taking advantage of such an opportunity, he must always do the best to deal with it.
——How Fei Zhan and the others will develop next, how to plan their development route in Jiangdong, and even how to take Xiao Qiao away from Jiangdong together——In addition, Sun Shangxiang’s marriage, everything needs to be carefully considered.
matter.
He is greedy, but...he never intends to hide this fact.
While Yi Xiaotian was thinking, a familiar call suddenly came from behind him.
"gentlemen."
"Ah? Who?"
Although he asked this, Yi Xiaotian had actually guessed the identity of the person coming.
After turning around, he saw Zhao Yun standing quietly, wearing plain clothes, with a hint of tiredness in his eyes.
"It's Zilong. It's so late, why don't you go to bed? We'll go ashore tomorrow, but there's still a long way to go."
Yi Xiaotian exchanged symbolic greetings, but looking at Zhao Yun's expression, he actually realized that Zhao Yun was definitely not just here to say hello to him.
"Too many things have happened recently, and it's... difficult to sleep."
"What does it mean? To put it simply - now that we have come this far, I have already regarded you as a friend, Zilong. What is there that can't be said between friends?"
Yi Xiaotian led Zhao Yun to express his worries.
It seemed that he felt a lot more relaxed because of Yi Xiaotian's words. Zhao Yun thought about it again and again, put aside the last trace of hesitation, and slowly said:
