After Sun Ce's death, Jiangdong ushered in a low ebb, at this time, Sun Quan, with the help of Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu, Yu Tuo, and Zhang Hong, who was far away in Xuchang, finally succeeded in stabilizing the situation.

【Zhang Zhao Fuquan】

As the core figure of the Sun Wu group at that time, Sun Ce was actually the minister who left behind his younger brother Sun Quan, although Zhang Zhao did not agree with Sun Quan at first, but after Sun Ce entrusted Sun Quan to him, Zhang Zhao still did his best to help Sun Quan stabilize the foundation of Jiangdong.

At that time, Sun Quan was young and had just begun to take charge of state affairs, and his mother, Madame Wu, was very worried about this. He met with Zhang Zhao, Dong Xi and others, and asked whether Jiangdong could be kept, and Dong Xi replied: "Jiangdong has mountains and rivers in the geographical situation to rely on, and the rebellious general, as a wise state pastor, has been kind to the people. The general inherits the inheritance, the top and bottom work together to obey the order, Lord Zhang Zhao is in charge of major affairs, and I Dong Xi and others are the minions, which is exactly the time when there is a favorable location and people, and there is absolutely nothing to worry about! Everyone was excited because of Dong Xi's words.

After Sun Ce's death, Zhang Zhao immediately submitted a report to the imperial court, and sent official documents to each subordinate county, and ordered the internal and external generals in Jiangdong to obey their duties. At that time, Sun Quan was very sad, and Zhang Zhao advised Sun Quan: "As an heir, it is important to inherit the legacy of our ancestors, so that it can prosper and prosper, so as to establish a great cause." If today's turmoil is in turmoil, and thieves are swarming over the mountain, how can you be filial and honest in bed and grieving, and indulge your personal feelings like ordinary people? He personally helped Sun Quan to get on his horse and marched out, and then everyone obeyed Sun Quan.

When Sun Ce died, he entrusted the military and political affairs to Sun Quan, and Sun Quan cried bitterly. Sun Ce's long history, Zhang Zhao, said to Sun Quan: "Xiaolian, is this the time to cry? Even if the funeral ceremony set by the Duke of Zhou, his son Bo Yu did not abide by it, not because he wanted to disobey his father's precepts, but because of the situation at that time. Besides, now that the treacherous criminals are competing with each other, and the jackals are in charge, you have to vent your personal grief and take care of the etiquette system, which is tantamount to opening the door and attracting thieves, and this is not benevolent! So he changed the mourning clothes worn by Sun Quan, helped him on his horse, and went out to inspect the barracks.

There is a similar record in the "Three Kingdoms: The Biography of Zhang Zhao". Sun Quan did not inquire about political affairs because of his grief, so Zhang Zhao said to him: "As the heir of the country, it is important to inherit the legacy of our ancestors, make it prosperous and prosperous, and build great achievements." If today's turmoil is in turmoil and thieves are swarming, how can you be in bed and grieving, and indulge your personal feelings like ordinary people? So he personally helped Sun Quan onto his horse, and the guards then lined up, which made everyone feel at home. Zhang Zhao became the chief historian of Sun Quan and accepted the same position as before.

In the early days of Sun Quan's succession, Zhang Zhao was extremely important to Sun Quan's assistance, but in addition to Zhang Zhao, the efforts of others could not be ignored. He held heavy troops, treated Sun Quan with the courtesy of a monarch and a minister, and was in charge of military and political affairs together with Changshi Zhang Zhao.

[Sticking to the local Yu translation]

In the local area, there are also Yu Tuo and others who stick to it.

At that time, Yu turned over as the magistrate of Fuchun County, and after Sun Ce's death, the county officials planned to go to the funeral, but Yu turned and said: "I'm afraid that the Shanyue tribe in the neighboring county may have traitors to make trouble, and we are all far away from the city, which will inevitably cause accidents." So he stayed at the office and wore mourning clothes. All the counties followed his example, and they were all safe. This also made Sun Wei unable to conquer Huiji and become self-reliant.

According to the "Book of Wu", after Sun Ce went, Sun Quan controlled the power, and Sun Hui, the general of Dingwu Zhonglang at that time, was Sun Ce's brother. However, the Huiji region defended itself with soldiers, waiting for orders from the ruling core of Eastern Wu.

According to the "Huiji Dictionary", Yu Tuo warned him at that time: "Sun Ce's lord died young, and his subordinates should be under the command of Sun Quan, the younger brother of the lord." The city has been besieged and entrenched, and I am ready to fight for my life with the officials of my fellow counties to eliminate the harm of the new lord. Weigh the pros and cons yourself. Sun Wei finally retreated.

[Zhang Hong in Xuchang]

After Sun Ce's death, Jiangdong was unstable, and Cao Cao also had the intention of taking advantage of the situation. At that time, Cao Cao planned to take advantage of the mourning period of Eastern Wu to carry out an expedition, at this time it was Zhang Hong who advised him, thinking that taking advantage of the funeral and using troops would not only violate the traditional morality, but also make the two sides make a feud and abandon the past alliance, so it is better to take this opportunity to treat Eastern Wu well. Cao Cao finally listened to his opinion, and immediately appointed Sun Quan as the general to be captured, and he was also the chief of the council. Cao Cao wanted Zhang Hong to persuade Sun Quan to surrender, and appointed Zhang Hong as the eastern governor of Huiji, so that he could return to Jiangdong.

After Sun Ce's death, the situation in Jiangdong is indeed unstable, if Cao Cao goes south at this time, it is a good opportunity, although Cao Cao finally followed Zhang Hong's advice, but in fact Cao Cao himself is very fond of taking advantage of the fire to rob, as early as Xuzhou Tao Qian died, Liu Bei replaced him, Cao Cao had the intention of seizing Xuzhou, and later Yuan Shao died not long ago, Cao Cao went north in a big way, all the way to Yecheng.

Therefore, the main reason why Cao Cao did not go south to take the opportunity to crusade against Sun Quan at that time was not because of the immorality that Zhang Hong said, Cao Cao, who pursued the principle of "taking advantage of your illness, asking for your life", did not eat this set, and the main reason why Cao Cao did not go south was similar to Tao Qian's failure to crusade against Liu Bei after his death, and Cao Cao's external environment at that time did not allow it.

At that time, Cao Cao had just finished the battle of Guandu and won a key victory over Yuan Shao, but the Yuan Shao group had not been eliminated, and Yuan Shao himself had not died, and was still Cao Cao's biggest threat, so Cao Cao's primary target at that time was still the Yuan group in the north, and even if Cao Cao went south, he might not fight Sun Quan, because Liu Biao in Jingzhou was more attractive to Cao Cao.

In this case, Cao Cao has no need to make a strong enemy, on the contrary, if Cao Cao is wooing Sun Quan at this time, he can let him help him balance Liu Biao, so that Liu Biao's threat to Cao Cao will be greatly reduced, and it will be very beneficial for Cao Cao to fight Yuan or Jingzhou in the future. So Cao Cao was even willing to let Zhang Hong go south and show his goodwill to Sun Quan, of course, it would be better if Zhang Hong could persuade Sun Quan to submit to him, even if it didn't work, Cao Cao had no loss.

【Koto Stability】

After Sun Quan succeeded to the throne, at this time only occupied Huiji, Wujun, Danyang, Yuzhang, and Luling, and the remote and dangerous places of these five counties have not yet been completely subordinated, and the heroes of the world are all in all states and counties, and the scholars who are guests and lodge are free to stay at will with their personal safety, and there is no stable relationship between the monarch and the minister. Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu and others realized that they could achieve great things with Sun Quan, so they were willing to serve him. Cao Cao asked for the appointment of Sun Quan as the general of the captivity, and concurrently served as the Taishou of Huiji, stationed in Wu County, and sent envoys to Huiji County to do clerical affairs. Sun Quan treated Zhang Zhao with the courtesy of Taishi and Taifu, and led the troops with Zhou Yu, Cheng Pu, and Lü Fan as generals. Recruiting talents and talents, and hiring celebrities, Lu Su and Zhuge Jin are equivalent to being his staff. He dispatched and deployed generals to suppress the Shanyue tribe and crusade against those who disobeyed.

Eventually, Koto slowly stabilized.
