0592 The Ambition of the Grand Governor
Seeing that Ma Jian finished speaking, Ma Zhong looked around and slowly spoke, "This matter is very much to consider when joining the army. But I have my reasons too. β
Ma Zhong brushed his thoughts.
"Let's consider this matter from big to small. First of all, after we occupy Liyang, what will be Sun Jiangdong's attitude, and what will be the attitude of the imperial court. β
Cen Wolf shook his head again and again after hearing this, "Isn't the reason why we are here now because we offended Sun Quan, will he still give us a good face?" β
Ma Zhongxin said, you are really embarrassed to say.
Ma Zhong really didn't worry about this problem, because he knew that Sun Quan would be defeated in this battle of Hefei, and his dominance over Jiangbei would be even weaker.
At that time, Sun Quan himself was too anxious to take care of it, so he couldn't care who the enclave of Jiangnan belonged to.
As for Cao Cao, he is now busy fighting Liu Bei.
Although Cao Cao will come to teach Sun Quan a lesson next year, in fact, it is only a nominal declaration of force, and the goal is to make Sun Quan honest.
The Jiangdong Army, which had experienced the defeat in Hefei, was frightened and put together the most gorgeous family background to deal with the land soldiers in the north.
- Ten thousand strong crossbows!
As a result, under the strong crossbow of 10,000 zhang, all the five good generals and the like are like scum.
Lu Meng commanded these super archers to defeat Cao Cao, and he couldn't even place the forward camp, so he could only retreat in embarrassment.
- "Cao Gong made a big beard again, and rejected Cao Gong with a strong crossbow according to the dock. Cao Gong's forward Tun was not completed, Meng broke it, and Cao Gong retreated. β
In this war, Sun Quan can be said to have spent blood.
In the second year, the Jiangdong Army, which was overstretched for money, ushered in its greatest misfortune.
The Governor of the Great Metropolis is dead!
This is undoubtedly a huge blow to the Jiangdong Army.
At the same time, the undercurrent in Jiangdong has reached the point where it cannot be checked and balanced.
No one thought of the candidate to succeed Lu Su as the governor of the capital.
This person is called Yan Gan.
Sun Quan directly put him in charge of real power, supervised 10,000 soldiers, and took control of Lukou!
Yan Zhen, who is this guy?
He is a well-known Changjiang scholar and a cultural person who enjoys ****** allowance.
His good friends are all Jiangdong celebrities such as Zhuge Jin and Buqi.
β¦β¦
Everything is clear!
It is no exaggeration to say that this is a feast for civil officials, and after a long time of planning, they finally reached out to snatch the power that should belong to them.
The civil officials of Jiangdong not only obtained the official position of the metropolitan governor, but even did what they worked hard to do in the same year.
In the twenty-second year of Jian'an, Sun Quan asked the court to surrender!
However, these civil ministers took it for granted, and their coup d'Γ©tat was only supported by a small amount of real power and Taishou, and at most it was a civilian military attache like Zhuge Jin who planned it for them.
These civil officials did not realize how hot the position of Metropolitan Governor was.
By the time they got to the point, it was too late to cry!
Yan Jian himself was in a hurry to resign from his post as the Grand Governor, even to the point of "speaking generously, as for the runny nose".
Sun Quan has also given up the last vestiges of illusions about these civil officials since then, this is really a bunch of guys who can't support the wall in the mud!
Although Ma Zhong has been in a hurry to launch Wang Li, he wants to let him, a guy from a famous family, who also studied under Xuewang, and has strong backing, go to Bo.
But it's only been less than two years, and the time is too tight!
It only took less than two years for the Wenchen Group to accept such a person, and even replace Yan Jian as the governor of the capital, which was an almost impossible task.
To realize Ma Zhong's conspiracy, it is impossible to do without a down-to-earth foundation!
Ma Zhong first said, "We don't have to consider Sun Jiangdong's problem for the time being, this Northern Expedition, the Jiangdong Army will be defeated!" When the time comes, Sun Quan will give up the defense of Jiangbei as soon as possible and retreat back to the south bank of the Yangtze River. I'm afraid he still wishes that the stronger the martial artists in Liyang, the better. Because that can help him contain enough energy in the imperial court. β
Ma Jian couldn't help but retort when he heard this, "How do you know that Sun Quan will be defeated?" β
Ma Zhong smiled and beckoned to him, "You come here with your ears." β
Ma Yan hesitated slightly, such a move obviously has some feelings of distrusting other people, which will inevitably make people resentful.
However, the military candidates are very calm, and it is normal for the lord and the military advisor to have any discussions in private.
Ma Zhong whispered a few words in Ma Yan's ear.
Ma Yan almost dropped his jaw when he heard this, he endured it again and again, but he still couldn't help but reproach, "Second brother, you are too ...... like this."
Ma Yan's face was flushed, and he didn't know how to continue.
The new attached soldiers looked dazed and guessed in their hearts.
The veterans had no guesswork at all.
Ding Feng silently made up for it, he must have said that it was too cheap, right......
Cen Wolf silently made up for it, it must be said that it was too cheap, right......
Bailichuan silently made up for it, it must be said that it was too cheap, right......
Li Sizheng silently made up for it, he must have said that it was too cheap, right......
Ma Zhong looked at Ma Jian very seriously and discussed with his military advisor, "What do you think?" β
What else could Ma Jian say, he could only say speechlessly, "The second brother doesn't want the Jiangdong Army to win, how can they still have a chance." β
After finishing speaking, he suddenly felt speechless, and looked around with some apprehension.
Fortunately, except for Li Fei, who was thoughtful, everyone else didn't care about this sentence.
Ma Zhong cleared his throat and asked in public, "Joining the army, what do you think of my method?" Can you dispel the concerns of the Jiangdong Army. β
Ma Tan had no choice but to say, "This method should be fine." But our biggest problem is not on Sun Jiangdong's side, but on the court's side. Sun Jiangdong may be able to tolerate you, how can the imperial court tolerate you, after all, you are different from those Liyang heroes, you are a pure Jiangdong person. Even if the imperial court doesn't deliberately care about this land, as long as the imperial court marches south, this small Liyang Governor's Mansion will probably be erased casually. β
Ma Zhong naturally can't tell Ma Tan about the rights and wrongs after the prophecy of the gods.
He just smiled and said, "How did the imperial court melt the Liyang Army at the beginning, let's just come." β
As soon as these words came out, Ma Jian was shocked.
The other military candidates were also moved.
The reason why the Liyang Army was able to take root here was not because it was smelly and hard, and it still had the ability to meet the source left and right.
But this is a big taboo in the Jiangdong army, that is to say, Ma Zhong has dealt with the imperial court, and even made false accusations, which is absolutely unacceptable to Sun Jiangdong!
Li Fei hurriedly admonished, "The lord is cautious, the life and death of our three thousand soldiers and horses are all in the mind of the lord!" β
Li Fei's words were euphemistic, and he faintly showed that he would not betray Ma Zhong, even if Ma Zhong really made such a decision, he would follow to the end.
Ma Zhong glanced at him very pleased, and then said softly, "Fan Jiang, Zhang Da come here." β
