Chapter 367: Celebrity Zhang Zhao
Chapter 367
Due to the accession of Lu Su, the separatism of the military state headed by Zhou Yu gained the upper hand in Jiangdong. At the right time, Cao Cao's personal letter to Sun Quan at an inopportune time was bound to lead to a heated debate within Sun Quan's clique.
Zhang Zhao and Qin Song, starting from the standpoint of national unification, advocated conforming to Cao Cao and sending their sons to Xuchang to be officials (in fact, becoming hostages), which is the correct theory of thinking about Hongyuan.
If this is the case, then the country can now be reunited, the sword and soldiers will be sheathed, the civil war will be stopped, the center of the upper domain screen will be magnificent and righteous, and the lower will protect the living beings from being destroyed, how can there be a three-point war and warlords in the world for the next seventy-two years! How can the people of the whole country be left with only one-tenth of their misery!
Lu Su and Zhou Yu are different, on the day of the national crisis, all they think about is their own fame and future and their wives and sons, and they put the life and death of ordinary people behind. In order to be able to carry out the split, he deeply concealed his personal goals and persuaded Sun Quan with seemingly selfless detachment.
Lu Su said: "I can conform to Cao Cao, but you can't." I obey him, and he can put me in my hometown to be an official. With talent and current position as a reference, at least, he is also a subordinate Cao engaged, with an ox cart to ride when he goes out, and his subordinates and escorts to follow, and he can become friends with a group of scholars. In the gradual promotion, it is not a problem to be a state shepherd or a county governor. What kind of placement do you want to have in accordance with Cao Cao? ”
The subtext of this conversation is that if you comply with Cao Cao, the consequences will be far less than ours, and you will die a very ugly death! There is nothing more instigative than this conversation.
Sun Quan was young and a little conceited, and of course he was not willing to sit idly by like the other princes. So he said with emotion: "I am very disappointed by the opinions held by those people (referring to Zhang Zhao and others), you have dissected the general plan and are echoing my proposition, this is the grace of God to me!" ”
Sun Quan proceeded from his own selfish interests, and finally accepted the policy of splitting the country and separating the throne. The only concern is whether it will be able to win? At that time when information was very closed, Cao Cao's "800,000 water army" had a very huge deterrent effect on Sun Quan.
Zhang Zhao and other literati all thought that Cao Cao had a great political advantage in the name of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to conquer the Quartet, and those who obeyed were loyal, and those who rebelled were rebellious, and it was difficult for others to go against their will. When the four borders were peaceful and the country was about to be reunified, resisting Cao Cao was even more unpleasant in terms of reason.
What's more, the six counties of Jiangdong relied on the Yangtze River moat, but Cao Cao had an army of 800,000, and once he occupied and controlled Liu Biao's naval army and thousands of ships in Jingzhou, Cao Cao used it, and there were many infantry deployed along the river. If he is on land and water, the benefits of the Yangtze River moat will be shared by the enemy and us, but the disparity between the enemy and the enemy cannot be compared. Rather than being defeated and captured, it is better to submit and obey.
I have to say that the height of Zhang Zhao Station is still high enough, but the appearance of Liu Cong changed the trajectory of history. Cao Cao did not defeat Liu Cong and took Jingzhou. Zhang Zhao was naturally ridiculed by Zhou Yu, Lu Su and others. Since then, Sun Quan has begun to alienate Zhang Zhao!
Zhang Zhao is the defender of the unification of China! Zhang Zhao was alienated by Sun Quan! These two points are the main reasons why Liu Cong intends to take advantage of them. Of course, Zhang Zhao is not so easy to use.
First of all, Liu Cong was also the saboteur of Cao Cao's unification of China! Fortunately, Liu Cong now supports the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and according to Yizhou and Jingzhou. At the same time, there is also the identity of a Han clan relative.
After three days of retreat, after some hard work, a letter to Zhang Zhao was finally completed.
Looking at his proud work, the corners of Liu Cong's mouth turned up slightly. Zhang Zhao, a generation of famous generals! Perhaps this letter will change the situation in Koto! I have to say that Liu Cong has also fully adapted to this era.
Of course, he knew Zhang Zhao's status in Jiangdong, and he also knew the arrogance in the heart of the scholar. Sun Quan is reluctant to reuse Zhang Zhao, and Zhang Zhao may still look down on Sun Quan in his heart. Although Liu Cong is a prime minister, there is still a gap between his age and knowledge compared with Zhang Zhao!
Therefore, Liu Cong was very low-key and polite in the letter, and of course very tactful. And euphemism is the point! If you blatantly dig the foot of the wall, I am afraid that you will be misunderstood and even despised by Zhang Zhao.
Liu Cong praised Zhang Zhao's actions in Yangzhou at the beginning of his heart, and compared Zhang Zhao with Xun Yu, calling them Zhang Liang and Chen Ping in troubled times. Then it was pointed out that such as today's Zi Nandu. Xun Yu is even more expensive as the third duke. I hope that one day talents will gather and the country will prosper......
This letter was completely tentative, and Liu Cong used a lot of space to emphasize in detail the various exploits of Zhang Zhao that he knew from the south to Yangzhou! And, of course, the decline in the country's population since the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
The so-called mourning is all over the wilderness, ten households and nine emptiness, etc., because of the melee of the princes. At the end of the letter, Liu Cong naturally did not forget to remind Zhang Zhao: "Zhang Gong is talented, Bo Fu is brave, he can be described as a writer and a martial artist, and Zhang Chi has a way." And both of them hope that Huaxia will be connected......
Now the villain is in charge, the power is arrogant and conceited, and Cong deeply regrets the public...... "In short, Liu Cong realistically expressed his admiration for Zhang Zhao, admired Zhang Zhao's achievements, and expressed injustice for Zhang Zhao's current experience!" Then Liu Cong's pen turned around, and he talked about the court, the world, and his ideals and ambitions!
Half a month later, after several rounds, Liu Cong's letter was delivered to Zhang Zhao. Zhang Zhao, who read the letter, was also full of emotion! He has been in Yangzhou for many years, and he is middle-aged, how can he not know Liu Cong's intentions. Some time ago, there was a lot of uproar about several storytellers in Wu County.
Now that he got this letter, Zhang Zhao instantly understood. This is not Cao Cao's spy, but Liu Cong's. Presumably, these stories were also made up by Liu Cong. A few days ago, Gongsun Shao came to look for him several times, but he was kicked out.
Although Zhang Zhao respects Sun Ce, now Sun Quan is the master of Jiangdong. Zhang Zhao is a minister, although he is not treated by the lord, but he still knows the duty of the minister. Especially at this critical moment, if you have too close contact with Gongzi Shao, it will definitely attract Sun Quan's suspicion, and it may be fatal to both yourself and Sun Shao!
But Sun Shao doesn't care! His father's death had been forgotten by him. But now someone suddenly mentioned it, and several storytellers were taken away on the spot, and later I heard that they were all taken into prison and have not been released until now. Isn't this the place where there are three hundred taels of silver?
And the mother, whom he has always respected, can't give him an answer. Zhang Zibu, an important adviser in the hearts of the people of Jiangdong, didn't even wait for him to ask anything. The more this is the case, the more Sun Shao feels suspicious.
This is also the rebellious psychology of young people, no one is willing to tell themselves, so investigate it yourself! Of course, Sun Shao is not stupid, since he is tired, it is also necessary to raise some customers to protect himself. The young man said he would do it, but this was sad for Sun Ce's wife Qiao.
As a last resort, Qiao could only go to Zhang Zhao, hoping that Zhang Zhao could come forward to persuade his precious son. Originally, if it was just a teaching on how to be a person and do things, Zhang Zhao was duty-bound. But Zhang Zhao didn't know the details of Sun Ce's death, so how could he explain it to Sun Shao?
Qiao is Sun Ce's widow, and Zhang Zhao was also afraid of having a heavy trust, so he had to ask his family to find Sun Shao on the street.
"Childe, have you ever heard of mediocrity disturbing themselves. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that those storytellers are clearly spies sent by hostile forces, and their purpose is to disrupt and divide our Jiangdong! If Childe continues like this, I'm afraid he will fall for the enemy's tricks! ”
"Sir, why did that man deliberately snub you, but you want to help him speak?" Sun Shao seemed to stand there angrily, glaring at Zhang Zhao with his eyes.
When Zhang Zhao heard this, he was stunned! This Sun Shao is only sixteen years old, but he is very angry. What he meant by this was that he favored Sun Quan. His own uncle, not called uncle, called that person? Zhang Zhao asked himself, although Sun Shao is young, he has always respected himself, what is wrong today?
"Childe! The sage said: The use of rituals, harmony is precious! The lord is your uncle, Ling Zun's brother, not an outsider! "It is not easy for Lingtang to raise you, you should study hard, and contribute to the country and the people in the future. Instead of dwelling on the past. ”
"Sir, that's a bad statement. The matter of education and probation is carried out from the top down, and the predecessors influence the future generations. Therefore, if the father is not loving, the child will not be filial; If the elder brother is not friendly, the younger brother will not be respectful; If the husband is not righteous, the wife will not be reconciled. "Sun Shao is not a martial artist, but he has read a lot of books under his mother's education.
Father's kindness will be filial piety, and brothers and friends will be brothers! It is recorded in the "Disciple Rules" and the "Five Emperors Benji", which has obviously become a classic for Sun Shao to argue for at this moment!
Obviously, Sun Shao has decided that his father's death is related to his uncle. Even Zhang Zhao's injustice became a reason for Sun Shao to attack Sun Quan.
"Childe! Be careful, be careful! Zhang Zhao still loves this child very much in his heart, not only because he is Sun Ce's son. And because he's really smarter. And the current situation doesn't need you to be smart. Sun Quan was originally a suspicious person. Now he is even more ambitious to compete with Cao Cao. If Sun Shao made any moves at this time, he would definitely be hated by Sun Quan.
Especially now that Sun Shao has a knot in his heart, he is afraid that he will not be able to untie it for a while. And Zhang Zhao naturally couldn't tell Sun Quan, let Sun Quan explain to Sun Shao himself.
"If he is unkind, I will be unjust, is my husband afraid that he will not succeed?"
"Childe!" Zhang Zhao shook his head helplessly, how could this Sun family be so young and vigorous? Sun Quan was only two years older than Sun Shao when he was in power, but he didn't take the hero Zhang Zhao seriously at all. Now this Sun Shao doesn't seem to take Sun Quan seriously.
"Sir called me today, and if that's all he said, Nashaw wrote it down. Leave! ”
"Childe, Childe. Let's stay. Childe is now gradually coming of age. It's time to contribute to Koto. Madame also means this, so Zhao wants to show the lord and let the son go to the Danyang front line to exercise, what does the son think? ”
"To the front?" Sun Shao immediately understood that this mother and Zhang Zhao wanted to separate themselves.
"Yes, Cao Cao's army has always maintained high pressure on our army in the Huainan area. Childe is familiar with military books, and now they are not lost to adults, it's time to go to the barracks to exercise! ”
"No! I'll wait until I get to the bottom of it! ”
