Chapter Seventy-Four: Kill Gu, Kill Gu, Stay!

In the history of the Three Kingdoms, Sun Ce was able to conquer Jiangdong, and the biggest reliance was on two people, one was Zhou Yu and the other was Zhang Zhao.

These two are the top strategists in Jiangdong, and the talented Xun Yu of Wang Zuozhi under Cao Cao, and the ghost talent Guo Jia are all of the same level, the top group of wise men in this era, one is good at war, and the other is good at government.

Historically, in the fifth year of Jian'an, after Sun Ce was assassinated, he went without support for a few days, and before he died, he handed over the Jiangdong country to Sun Quan, and at the same time gave Sun Quan a word, ask Zhang Zhao if he was undecided on internal affairs, and ask Zhou Yu if he was undecided on foreign affairs.

This means that you can rely on Zhou Yu in military affairs, and you can rely on Zhang Zhao in government affairs, so you can imagine Zhang Zhao's status in Sun Ce's heart.

……………………

Ever since Sun Quan promised Sun Jian to find talents for the Jiangdong Army, he has been paying attention to Zhang Zhao and wants to find out this top strategist in advance, but he doesn't know much about Zhang Zhao's history, and he doesn't know that this person is not in Jiangdong, and there is a vast sea of people, so he has no clue.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Zhao actually delivered it to the door in person today, and Sun Quan was happy all of a sudden

"Zhongmou, are you saying that this person deserves to be greeted by this seat in person?" Sun Jian was slightly stunned, raised his eyebrows, and glanced at Sun Quan, he was in a high position, so he naturally had his arrogance.

"It's worth it!" Sun Quan nodded firmly.

If Zhang Zhao is not worthy of Sun Jian's personal welcome, Zhuge Kongming is not worthy of Liu Bei's three visits to the thatched house, Sun Quan has been in this world for a long time, and he deeply understands the kind of respect that those talented people in this era want.

"Alright then, for the Father's trust, trust in your vision, and you will come with me." Sun Jian was silent for a moment, and then spoke up.

"No!"

Although everyone was a little reluctant, Sun Jian had all left, and they had no reason to sit.

Although Sun Jian doesn't know much about Zhang Zhao, he believes in Sun Quan's gaze, since Sun Quan, who has always been picky, attaches so much importance to this Zhang Zhao, then this Zhang Zhao must have something extraordinary.

So he followed Sun Quan's wishes, led the officials of the county guard, and personally went out to greet Zhang Zhao.

Sun Jian's action startled Zhang Zhao, who was already a little nervous.

"Pengcheng Zhang Zhao, Zhang Zibu, meet General Poyu." In the front yard of the county guard's mansion, Zhang Zhao looked at Sun Jian and the others, not only surprised, but also a little moved, took a deep breath, arched his hands, and respectfully saluted.

Although he made a statement in Pengcheng, Xuzhou, but for Jiangdong, he was just an unknown person, and Sun Jian was the world-famous Wucheng Marquis, a general, and a famous tiger in Jiangdong.

This made him even more convinced of his decision, Sun Jian is worthy of his refuge.

"Zibu, it is a blessing for General Ben that you can come to join General Ben, there is no need to be polite, we will talk inside."

Sun Jian stared at the middle-aged Confucian in front of him who looked a little down, about thirty-four or five, his clothes were a little shabby, and there were several patches on them, but they were very neat.

Although Sun Jian couldn't see anything special about this Zhang Zhao, he was still patient, took Zhang Zhao's hand very kindly, and walked into the lobby.

"No!" Zhang Zhao was a little flattered, and as everyone stepped into the lobby of the strict county guard's mansion, he glanced at it slightly, and suddenly understood that the dozen or so people here were all high-level officials of the Jiangdong Army.

However, these people, except for Sun Jian, everyone else obviously has a trace of hostility towards him, which is what he expected, from the fact that he said at the door that he could relieve Sun Jian's sorrows, he undoubtedly offended these high-level Jiangdong Army, as long as he can gain a firm foothold in the Jiangdong Army, this problem is not a big problem.

"Zibu, come, sit here!" Walking into the lobby, Sun Jian sat down in the first place again, then stretched out his hand, pointed to the position next to him, and said with a smile.

Brush Brush Brush ...... The eyes of the crowd suddenly stared at Zhang Zhao with some jealousy.

"No!" When he arrived here, Zhang Zhao didn't have the slightest stage fright, but put his mind at ease and knelt beside Sun Jian very calmly, which made Sun Jian's eyes light up slightly, although he didn't know what Zhang Zhao's talent was, but at least his kung fu was good.

After all, a stranger can sit beside him calmly in front of the high-level leaders of the Jiangdong Army, which is not something that ordinary people can do.

"Mr. Zhang, you just said that you can solve the worries of the lord, I don't know what the lord's worries are?" Everyone obviously had some distrust of this middle-aged Confucian student, and above the lobby, a person stood up and asked in a sharp voice.

"Of course!"

Zhang Zhao took a deep breath, his eyes met him, he didn't flinch at all, he showed a kind of toughness, he knew that if he wanted to gain a firm foothold in the Jiangdong Army, he couldn't retreat, he had to show that he could not be with Sun Jian to attach so much importance to him.

The king treats me as a countryman, and I repay him more than a countryman!

"The lord's worries now are nothing more than Zhang Chu, Gu Zhou and Xu Gong!" Zhang Zhao said softly.

"This is something that everyone in Wu County knows, why bother to say it!" An official of the county guard said in a cold voice.

"Huh...... Zhao also knew that what the lord was afraid of now was only the Jiangdong Shi clan, and what he was thinking about now was not whether the three of them would kill or not, and the lord did not hesitate to use the safety of the eldest prince as a lure to lure these three people out, nothing more than to use them to deal with the deep-rooted gentry of the Shi clan in Jiangdong. ”

When Zhang Zhao set off early to come to the county guard's mansion, he had already analyzed these things, and now he talked eloquently, without the slightest hesitation, exuding a unique pride and self-confidence.

"Zhang Zhao, don't talk nonsense." Cheng Pu's face changed slightly, and he shouted loudly.

The Jiangdong Shi clan is deeply rooted and intertwined in Jiangdong, and it is one thing for Sun Jian to want to deal with them, but when he said it so frankly, everyone's faces changed.

"Hahaha, it's okay!" Sun Jian didn't care, looked at Zhang Zhao with a pair of tiger eyes, and said, "Zibu, since you know the sorrow of this general, there is a way to solve it." ”

"That Zibu is going to ask the general about the result he wants!" Zhang Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had received Sun Jian's most preliminary approval, so he asked respectfully.

"The result?" Sun Jian squinted slightly, and said domineeringly: "I want peace in Wu County, but I don't allow Wu County to have power that I can't control!" ”

"It's easy!"

Zhang Zhao was silent for a moment before he said in a low voice: "Kill Xu, kill Gu, keep Zhang!" ”

"Kill Xu, kill Gu, stay Zhang?"

Everyone's hearts moved slightly, looking at Zhang Zhao's eyes, they were not so hostile, but deepened, they understood the meaning of Zhang Zhao's words, but they didn't understand Zhang Zhao's intention to do this.

"Why?" Sun Jian frowned and asked.

"Killing Xu Gong in public, this is a deterrent, a shock to the whole of Wu County."

Zhang Zhao knew if he could get Sun Jian's attention, so he looked at this time, stood up, analyzed loudly, and said: "And although Gu Zhou is a member of the Gu family, he must not stay, but the lord does not want to completely turn over with the Gu family now, so he can't blatantly kill him, because this will inevitably make the Gu family's statement sweep away, and the most important thing for the wealthy family is fame, which will break the net of the Gu family." The lord can try to negotiate with the Gu family, and exchange the same benefits of grain, grass, or land for Gu Zhou's 'illness and death', on the one hand, he can warn the Gu family, and on the other hand, he can get what the lord wants. ”

"This plan is a great good!"

Sun Jian looked slightly happy, smiled, and stared at Zhang Zhao with a hint of satisfaction.

"Then why do you want to keep Zhang Chu?" Sun Quan squinted his small eyes, stared at Zhang Zhao, and suddenly asked.

Zhang Zhao is Zhang Zhao, there is no vanity under the fame, and he can leave such a big reputation in history, he is definitely not an ordinary person, and he will solve the problem that they were embarrassed for half a day in three or two clicks.

"Lord, the local gentry are even more difficult to deal with than those prominent families in Jiangdong, after all, they control more than sixty percent of the land and population of Wu County, and if they are not careful, it will inevitably cause chaos in Wu County, and it will not be able to make them surrender overnight.

Leave Zhang Chu, leave the Zhang family, and then cut off the several gentry families united by the Zhang family, from now on, the Zhang family can only stand on the opposite side of them if they want to survive, and the only reliance is only on the lord, and there must be only obedience to the lord. ”

Zhang Zhao looked at the young man in a wheelchair with some surprise, and after thinking about it for a while, he turned his head to look at Sun Jian, and said softly: "These local gentlemen have divided them from the inside, so that they can better control them." ”

Hiss!

Everyone gasped slightly, and looked at Zhang Zhao with some horror.

Zhang Zhao's move is ruthless! It is even more ruthless than directly killing Zhang Chu and killing the entire Zhang family.

"Hahahaha...... Zibu is really talented! ”

Sun Jian looked at Zhang Zhao, his heart was slightly excited, his eyes were bright, he burst out one after another, stood up, and said with a smile: "Zibu, if there is chaos today, the people are not happy, there is a certain intention to calm the world, are you willing to help me?" ”

"Zhao dare to obey his fate!" Zhang Zhao's waist bowed slightly, his hands arched, and said seriously.

"Ladies and gentlemen, from today on, Zibu is the long history of the Wu County Guard." Sun Jian grabbed Zhang Zhao's hand, stared at everyone, and said in a loud voice: "This matter, General Ben will hand it over to you to deal with, do a better job." ”

"No!" Zhang Zhao was overjoyed, with some irrepressible excitement, this is a step to the sky.

Under normal circumstances, only in the border counties will have this position, and there is no such position in the history of Wu County, in fact, it represents Sun Jian's chief of staff, the first military division.

"Meet Lord Changshi!" Everyone was slightly shocked, a little shocked, and even a little jealous, but Sun Jian's rule was strict, Zhang Zhao obviously had an official position, and he was above them, so it was not something they could look down on at will, and they looked at Zhang Zhao one by one and shouted respectfully.
