Chapter Eighty-Five: Shanyue, Chaos
"Youping, why are you doing this?"
In an instant, seeing Zhou Tai kneeling on the ground, bowing his head and asking the people around him to be silent, Sun Quan couldn't help frowning, so he asked.
Hearing this, Zhou Tai arched his hand and said: "Lord, please punish the last general for the crime of lax discipline, Zhou Shao's shaft actually attacked without authorization, causing a battle with Cao Jun." ”
"The last general begs the lord to surrender!"
With a few words, Zhou Tai was obligated to take Zhou Shao's charge of sending troops without authorization on himself, and he knew very well in his heart that if this misunderstanding was resolved, it would be okay.
But if the contradiction between the two armies really intensifies and fights, it will inevitably be implicated after the war, so Zhou Tai will retreat and ask for guilt in advance.
After all, Zhou Tai will not be punished too heavily if he takes care of his son's mistakes instead of being guilty.
After all, Zhou Tai once saved Sun Quan's life at the cost of twelve wounds, not to mention anything else, just this love, Sun Quan would not be too responsible for him.
Throughout the Three Kingdoms era, those who were loyal to the Lord were the closest people to the monarch.
For example, Cao Cao's former bodyguard Dian Wei and current bodyguard Xu Chu were also named Tiger Marquis because Xu Chu sacrificed his life several times, so after Cao Cao became king, he was also named the Tiger Marquis.
Secondly, Chen Zhi and Zhao Yun are the same, although their status is not as good as Zhuge Liang and other important ministers, but when it comes to the difference between relatives and relatives, it is definitely not low.
Otherwise, every time he fights, how can Liu Bei rest assured that he will hand over his family members to Zhao Yun and Chen to protect them?
When the words fell, Sun Quan thought for a while, suddenly laughed, and said: "Haha, Youping, you said about Lingzi!" ”
"What does this have to do with you?"
"General, please get up!"
At this moment, Sun Quan also slowly walked into the hall, stretched out his hand to support, and said.
Hearing this, Zhou Tai still knelt on the ground, and said: "Lord, but the erector attacked without authorization, disrupting our army's plan." ”
"Haha, Youping is too worried, Ben Hou thinks that Zhou Shao did it right, you don't have to blame yourself."
As soon as these words came out, not only Zhou Tai was at a loss, but everyone around him was also puzzled, and they all looked at Sun Quan, not knowing what he meant.
Immediately, Sun Quan helped Zhou Tai up, then turned around and walked back to the main seat, looked at the people under the stairs, his face was indifferent, and explained: "According to Cheng Zhi's report, the Jingzhou army not only attacked us by pretending to be Cao Jun. ”
"Even pretending to be our army, he plundered the people of Jiangxia County, which led to the intensification of the contradiction between the people around him and the people of Jiangxia.
"If left unchecked, the surviving Qiantou will have no way to vent their anger, and it will inevitably provoke a popular uprising, which will not be good at that time."
With a few words, Sun Quan simply exonerated Zhou Shao for attacking without authorization.
In fact, at this time, Sun Quan was extremely annoyed in his heart, although Zhou Shao led the army to attack and confront Cao Jun to eliminate the people's grievances, but he made a fatal mistake.
That is, he attacked without consulting the general Cheng Cheng in advance, nor did he receive any call-up.
It must be known that for a general, it has been a taboo for kings to use troops without authorization.
It's just that Zhou Shao's father is Zhou Tai, Sun Quan did not reveal it, but downplayed it, after all, when he was besieged by more than thousands of bandits, it was Zhou Tai who disregarded the danger of his life and desperately protected him out of the siege at the cost of his own twelve wounds.
Sun Quan knew very well that he could not be severely punished, otherwise it would inevitably make the people under his command dissatisfied and deviate from morality.
"Thank you, Lord Taido, for your forgiveness!"
When the words fell, Zhou Tai also knew in his heart that this was for the sake of his life-saving skills, so Sun Quan would open up and not care.
Then, Sun Quan slowly sat back on the main seat, looked at the crowd, and said slowly: "Everyone, with the current situation, our army is facing two problems. ”
"First, our army is already ready to go, how should we find a suitable reason to send troops to Jingzhou?"
"Second, now that Guan Ping's headquarters is hidden in the waters of the river, what army should we send to intercept it?"
As soon as several questions fell, the people in the palace talked softly or thought about it.
After half a ring, Zhang Wen stood up first and arched his hand: "Lord, in Wen's opinion, General Cheng should be ordered to quickly resolve the dispute with Cao's army, and then send troops south to pursue the Jingzhou army." ”
Because at this time, Jiangdong had already mobilized a heavy army on the western front and was ready to wait for an opportunity to attack Jingzhou, but it led to the emptiness of all places, but there were no troops to adjust, so Sun Quan had this question.
As soon as these words came out, what Zhang Wen said, everyone also praised it.
"Wu Hou, looking at it, the Cheng Advisory Department should continue to negotiate with Cao Jun to temporarily resolve the misunderstanding and avoid our army's plan to attack Jingzhou from being disrupted."
"And Cheng Zhi is stationed in Qi Chun, and often confronts Jiangxia Cao Jun, and it is most suitable for him to come forward to resolve this dispute."
After a pause, Yu turned his hand and said: "As for the interception, it is better to use Jiang Qin's headquarters stationed in Pengzehu to intercept it." ”
"They were originally ordered to station troops here, preparing to cross the river to the north to prevent Guan Yu from getting the news and returning to Jingzhou."
"Now that the plan has changed, the Jingzhou army has withdrawn ahead of schedule, and Guan Ping can go north to fight the Cao army without defeat, which shows that his army is strong, and it is difficult for ordinary soldiers to prevent them from returning to help."
"And Jiang Qin's department, the warships are complete, the armor is excellent, and the sergeants are also elite soldiers, they come forward to stop the Jingzhou army, and they will definitely be able to trap the Jingzhou army in Wuchang and Xiling."
As soon as the words were spoken, Yu Xuan also explained slowly and gave a reason.
Hearing this, Sun Quan was also in suspense for a while, and his face was contemplative, thinking about how to adopt the strategy of the two.
After thinking for a long time, Sun Quan had to look at Zhang Zhao on the side, and said softly: "Zibu, in your opinion, how should I adopt the strategy of Zhongxiang and Huishu?" ”
Hearing this, Zhang Zhao's face remained unchanged, still stable as usual, and he stroked his beard and said: "According to the old man's words, the lord does not need to worry, on the one hand, he has full authority to give Cheng Counsel full authority to settle disputes." ”
"On the other hand, he ordered Jiang Qin to lead his troops to intercept the Jingzhou army."
"As for when the troops will be sent to Jingzhou, the lord does not have to worry, with Zhao guessing, it will not be more than half a month at most, and our army will naturally have a suitable reason to enter Jingzhou in the west."
When Sun Quan heard this, he secretly weighed it, and then ordered the guards to go to the side according to Zhang Zhao's words.
"No!"
After some orders, several guards agreed and slowly walked out of the house.
At this moment, Gu Yong actually stood up and arched his hand: "Lord, there is something that our army needs to pay attention to. ”
"Huh?"
"In recent days, He Qi in the south of the garrison has frequently sent back military information, informing him that in the past few days, the Shanyue rebels have begun to gradually plunder in the mountains, and now, there are several counties in the membership county, which have been plundered by Shanyue and are under their control."
"He Qiyan, this is probably Shanyue's temptation, if our army does not vigorously send troops to quell the rebellion, I am afraid that a large-scale Shanyue rebellion will occur."
"Yong, I hope the lord will pay attention to it!"
As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the house, and everyone was speechless.
