Wu County, in June, the sky is cloudy and sunny, and the sun is shining in the morning, but in the afternoon, the dark clouds immediately become overwhelming, and in the midst of bursts of thunder and lightning, the pouring rain pours down, and the drips of rain are washing this ancient and magnificent city.

In the majestic Zhengdong General's Mansion, Sun Jian was wearing a robe, and his burly body sat peacefully in the lobby, holding a piece of documents in his hands, and a pair of tiger eyes kept sweeping, sometimes frowning, sometimes sighing, and reading carefully.

"Lord, Jiaozhou battle report!"

The man on the left is Zhang Hong, who is not in the general's mansion, he spread out a document in his hand, his eyes moved, turned his head, looked at Sun Jian, and then said in a low voice: "Lord, the battle report said that now the eldest prince has taken the gate of Cangwu, and he is about to enter Cangwu." ”

"So fast?"

When Sun Jian heard this, his face moved slightly, a little surprised, and then his brows furrowed, he put down the paperwork in his hand, spread out a map of Jiaozhou on the desk, stared at the terrain at the door, thought for a while, and then said: "Bo Fu seems to be a little impatient at this time, the army has not yet gained a firm foothold in the Southern Navy, so he will start a war rashly, if he can't fight to the end in one go, he will suffer." ”

"My lord, the battle report submitted by the eldest prince also mentioned that he will take Cangwu and Hepu in a month." Zhang Hong's expression became slightly more rigorous, and he added.

"A month?"

Sun Jian shook his head slightly, a bitter smile appeared on his hard face, and he sighed: "I'm in a hurry, he's too anxious, the more anxious it is, the more it shows that he is taking risks, wanting to make dangerous moves, fighting surprise attacks, a battle that could have been fought steadily, but he was in such a hurry, it seems that his temperament has not been exercised enough over the years." ”

"Lord, in fact, my subordinates feel that the eldest prince is very confident in this battle."

Zhang Hong, as the assistant driver of the General's Mansion, is actually Sun Jian's chief secretary, responsible for assisting Sun Jian in handling political affairs and arranging his itinerary, and is also a staff member, providing Sun Jian's way of thinking when he can't make up his mind.

"Alas!"

Hearing this, Sun Jian sighed, then smiled slightly, there was a trace of pride in his smile, and said: "Bo Fu is a natural general, when the two armies are fighting, there is a courage to advance bravely regardless of a qiē, which even this general does not have, I don't think he will lose, but I feel that his heart is still impatient and not stable enough." ”

"Lord, in fact, even if the eldest prince has something to think about, isn't there still Zhou Envoy Jun! With Zhou Zhijun's cautious personality and outstanding strategy, even if the eldest prince is in a hurry, it should not be a big problem. Zhang Hong knew what Sun Jian meant, and after a deep groan, he comforted.

"Hopefully!"

Sun Jian nodded, continued to deal with government affairs, and sighed while looking at the documents: "This battle, since it was handed over to him, I hope he can make a name for himself, and that's the case, let him play his own!" ”

"Lord, this is news from Jinyiwei urgently." Zhang Hong's hands and feet did not stop, and after a moment of silence, he submitted another document and handed it to Sun Jian.

"Is it Jiangxia who sent troops?" When Sun Jian saw it, his eyes narrowed, and a cold glow crossed his gaze.

"Well, Huang Zu, a fierce general under Liu Biao, personally led the army, a total of 50,000 Jingzhou naval troops, intending to storm Chaisang, and then attack Jiangdong from the Yangtze River waterway!" Zhang Hongdao.

"It's good to come! Huang Zu, Huang Zu, if you don't come, you will put up with the overall situation of Jiaozhou and endure it, but since you came, you are welcome. ”

The corners of Sun Jian's mouth outlined a murderous smile, spread out a finger, lifted the pen, waved the pen, and wrote down two words - Xiling!

"Zigang, immediately send someone, eight hundred miles to expedite, send this letter to Chaisang, and hand it over to General Wushuang." Sun Jian picked up an envelope, put the paper with two words written on it, and then sealed it with fire paint and handed it to Zhang Hong.

He is giving Pan Feng a freedom to fight.

"No!"

Zhang Hong hurriedly beckoned a few soldiers from the General's Mansion to come in, handed them the envelope, and asked them to send it to Chaisang urgently.

"My lord."

At this time, Zhang Zhao's figure hurriedly walked into the lobby from the outside, his face was a little anxious, his eyes looked at Sun Jian, and said, "Lord, it's not good, something big has happened in Moling." ”

"What can happen to Moling?"

Sun Jian raised his head, looked at the panicked Zhang Zhao, frowned slightly, and said, "Zibu, the sky can't fall, don't be in such a hurry, you sit down first and speak slowly!" ”

"Lord, do you know about Gongzi Quan's affairs in Moling Tuntian?" Zhang Zhao took a deep breath, sat down, and looked at Sun Jian with some awe-inspiring eyes.

"I've heard a little!"

Sun Jian's face was calm, his eyes flickered, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

He knew that Sun Zhongmou, a restless person, was restless wherever he went, and the difficulties in Moling Tuntian were basically the same as those in Tuntian in Wu County, all of which were the hinterland of Jiangdong's population, and a large number of Jiangdong families were strong to stop him.

There are many families in Wu County, although there are not many families in Moling, but the strength of the local heroes, he has also heard of it, even if he is the lord of Jiangdong is now strong, he does not dare to Tuntian around Wu County, and can only be in overseas places to implement Tuntian, but Sun Quan has only been in office for less than a month, so he insisted that he take the strong class of Moling and implement Tuntian in Moling.

For the General's Mansion, this is naturally a good thing, but the damage to the interests of the powerful class and the Jiangdong family can easily cause the counterattack of the Jiangdong family.

But this thing is not small, it is not big, after all, this is what Sun Quan did, not Sun Jian, as the lord of Jiangdong, as long as his posture is high, he will be confused by a haha, do not admit it, do not deny it, do not support it, and do not refuse, the family and the powerful class in Jiangdong will not be able to attack him.

So this thing is not necessarily a bad thing for him, and it can even give him some unexpected gains.

"Zibu, although Zhongmou did a little reckless in this matter, it is undeniable that it is a gap in Jiangdong Haoqiang that has been opened, and it is not a good thing!"

There was a tough light in Sun Jian's eyes, and he said coldly: "The Zhengdong General's Mansion will not come forward directly in this matter, but no one will be allowed to destroy it." ”

"Lord, what I am referring to is not the matter of Tuntian, the matter of Tuntian is just stupid, the prestige of the General's Mansion now, as long as it is not supported, it is enough to suppress it, and it is not opposed."

Zhang Zhao's eyes flashed, and he wanted to say nothing, and then he muttered for most of the quarter of an hour before he whispered: "Does the lord know what Gongzi Quan is doing in addition to Moling Tuntian?" ”

"What else to do?"

When Sun Jian heard this, he was slightly stunned in his heart, and his eyes were a little puzzled.

Sun Quan is restless, he has learned a lot, but he has never been too worried, because Sun Quan has a plan to do things, and he can clean up the things he comes up with.

"My lord, at present, eighty percent of the largest merchants in Jiangdong convened by Gongzi Quan are concentrated in Moling." Zhang Zhao reported in a low voice: "At present, the merchants who go to Moling are all first-class merchants in Jiangdong, and each of them is a family wealth, and if the wealth is added up, it can buy half of our Jiangdong." “

"What?"

When Sun Jian heard this, he couldn't sit still, he stood up suddenly, his eyes widened, and he said coldly: "What does Zhongmou want to do with such a big move?" ”

This is not a trivial matter, if an ordinary person does such a thing, his first reaction is to gather a crowd to rebel, and first send troops to control him, but it is Sun Quan, which makes him a little confused.

"The subordinates understand that Gongzi Quan is uniting the merchant class to fight against the family and the powerful in Jiangdong."

Zhang Hong only listened to the conversation between the two beside him, and suddenly spit out such a sentence, and then respectfully reported to Sun Jian, and said: "My lord, Gongzi Quan has always taken good care of the merchant class, and he once went to the book of music, wanting to gather the merchant class in the military mansion and condense it into a group to balance the Jiangdong family. ”

The recital that was reported to the General's Mansion basically passed through his hands, he has always been attentive, and his memory is very good, he has a memory of every recital, and this time he remembered Sun Quan's recital.

"It seems that there is such a thing."

Sun Jian also remembered it a little, his face suddenly became a little gloomy, and said: "It's just that at that time, I didn't take it seriously, so I didn't accept it, it seems that Zhongmou wanted to do it himself!" ”

"Lord, the right prince is not a small matter, Shinong industry and commerce, a thousand-year-old system, if he erects a flag for businessmen, it will disrupt Jiangdong, we must deal with it as soon as possible, now the turmoil in Moling Tuntian has just passed, if this matter is big, Jiangdong's family and strong people will inevitably break out into anger, and Jiangdong will be in trouble at that time."

Zhang Zhao said worriedly.

"Hmph, the chaos may not be, the prestige of the Jiangdong family is not as powerful as before, the General's Mansion has hundreds of thousands of soldiers, as long as they are a little sensible, they will not resist the anger of the General's Mansion for this matter!"

Sun Jian squinted, took a deep breath, and then said coldly: "However, there are definitely actions of these families, and they will not allow Zhongmou to condense the lowly merchants in their eyes and pose a threat to their status." ”

"What the lord means is that they will not come to the General's Mansion, but to the right prince."

Zhang Zhao's eyes lit up and said.

"That's right!"

Sun Jian nodded, and said in a cold voice: "Everyone in Jiangdong knows that I chose Sun Ce as the first heir of Jiangdong, so I naturally despise Zhongmou, and now that Zhongmou has done this big thing, it directly threatens the status of the Dao family, don't they want to attack Shen Zhongmou's vein?" ”

"What about us?"

Zhang Zhao was slightly shocked in his heart, gritted his teeth, and looked at Sun Jian.

"We don't care!"

Sun Jian's eyes crossed a touch of helplessness, he could only sigh, and said: "Jiangdong is facing battles on both sides of Jiaozhou and Jingzhou, and the internal must be stable, and Zhongmou has to clean up the things he has made by himself, I believe that he has a way to solve his own troubles, if the General's Mansion intervenes, it will really cause a strong backlash from the Jiangdong family, and it will really cause civil strife in Jiangdong." ”

"But the power of the prince is weak, and the merchants alone may not be able to resist the family's difficulties!" Zhang Zhao said in a low voice. He was a scholar, full of poetry and books, and inherited Confucianism, and he consciously despised the merchants, who he did not think could resist the blows of the family.

"I don't think so, since Gongzi Quan has the courage to put up a flag for the merchants, he must have a backhand, and the family wants to hit him, it's not so easy." Zhang Hong groaned, his eyes flashed with a touch of brilliance, his face was calm, and he said softly.

"Huh!"

Sun Jian smiled and said, "Since this little bastard is restless, let him run into the wall, I want to see what he uses to fight with these families." ”

He wasn't very worried, Sun Quan was his son after all, at most he would fail and his reputation would be ruined, and from now on he would be a noble son who did not engage in political affairs, and no one would dare to hurt his life on top of the acre of three-point land in Jiangdong.
