Chapter Sixty-Eight: A Seemingly Candid Relationship
"You talk slowly, I'll go and see Miss Sun again."
When Xiao Qiao saw the two of them talking about this kind of thing, he felt that it was inappropriate for him to be listening, so he left under a decent excuse.
After Xiao Qiao left, Zhou Yu said again: "I, Zhou Yu, have always been quick to talk, to be honest, I admire Mr. Kong Ming, if he comes to our Jiangdong, I guarantee that his future is limitless." ”
Fang Shao smiled faintly and said, "It must be a great honor for him to be favored by General Zhou, but even if he has already served my lord, how can he change his court." ”
Zhou Yu smiled with his hand, his expression was a little disapproving, and said: "The so-called good birds choose trees to perch, although Liu Yuanjun's tree is noble, but after all, it is only a single tree, how much shade can it hold?" My General Sun is a towering tree, and Mr. Kong Ming can have as much shade as he wants. ”
"General Zhou's metaphor is very vivid, hehe." Fang Shao took a sip of tea, changed his tone, and asked rhetorically: "But Shao has a question, I don't know whether to talk about it or not." ”
Zhou Yu was slightly stunned and said with a smile: "But it doesn't hurt to say it." ”
Fang Shao said: "Back then, Yuan Shu was strong in Jianghuai, and his momentum was not unpopular, but I am afraid that General Sun may not be able to reach it now, not only a towering tree, but also a thousand miles of forest." But Shao heard that Yuan Shu wanted to worship General Zhou as a general and reuse it, but the general only wanted to be the magistrate of Juchao County, and took the opportunity to cross east to Wu, but instead worshiped under General Sun Bofu, but I don't know why General Zhou would 'give up the big tree and ask for a single tree'? ”
Fang Shao's rhetorical question made Zhou Yu speechless for a while, but he never expected that Liu Bei's little scholar would know so much about his past, and he couldn't help but be a little more impressed by the young man in front of him.
After being stunned for a moment, Zhou Yu suddenly laughed and said happily: "I heard that Mr. Kong Ming's words made General Sun quite admired, Zhongzheng, you are worthy of being his student, you are really quite a teacher." ”
Fang Shao smiled modestly: "General Zhou has won the award, and I will tell Mr. about the general's kindness." Shao still has something to do, so he won't bother and leave here. ”
Fang Shao got up to say goodbye, Zhou Yu didn't keep him, but personally sent him out of the house, watching Fang Shao get in the car and go, Zhou Yu snorted and sneered: "This person is very interesting, he is a talent that can be made, he said that he has to find a way to dig him and Kong Ming together, I hope he will not be ignorant." ”
When Zhou Yu had just sent Fang Shao away, in the Wuhou Mansion, Sun Quan had just ushered in Zhang Zhao.
As soon as the fifty-two-year-old man saw Sun Quan, he hung his head and said: "Zhao is old, and he can't come up with any good plans for the lord, I don't know what the lord has called me to do." ”
Zhang Zhao was obviously angry when he said it, Sun Quan didn't think it was strange at the moment, he greeted him down the stairs with a smile, helped Zhang Zhao to sit down, and said with his hand: "Zibu is still blaming Gu for not listening to your persuasion, alas!" In fact, Lone is also a dilemma, Gong Jin has great prestige in the army, he is so strong in the main battle, most of the generals are on his side, the opinion of the military, Lone really has to take care of it, Zibu You know the righteousness, and you should understand Lone's difficulties. ”
Zhang Zhao was in a mood there for a long time, Sun Quan said that the old man's face was better, he shook his head and sighed: "Zhao has received the grace of the Sun family for two generations, how can there be any reason not to consider the Lord and the Lord in everything." Now that the lord has decided to fight with Cao Ying, no matter how good the chance of winning, Zhao Zi should stand on the side of the lord and solve the problems for the lord. ”
Sun Quan was overjoyed and relieved: "Zibu can have this heart, and Gu will be at ease." Previously, when Gongjin asked Lone to lead the troops to the battle, Zibu was also present, and according to Zibu's opinion, Lone should give him the right to serve the soldiers. ”
Zhang Zhao pondered for a long time, and said silently: "Zhou Lang followed General Bo Fu to raise troops earlier, and after many battles to open up Jiangdong, if you talk about the talent of leading the army and the strategy of using troops, no one in Jiangdong can match it. ”
Although Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu had different political views, he still made a heartfelt evaluation of Zhou Yu.
Sun Quan also nodded slightly, but said worriedly: "Gong Jin's military talent, Gu naturally trusts, but he is still young, and among the Jiangdong generals, there are many veterans who follow their ancestors, I am afraid that these people are not convinced, if the generals are not in harmony, will they miss the big thing." ”
Zhang Zhao said: "The lord of this section doesn't have to worry, Gongjin's surname is elegant and free, and he is talented, although he is a little arrogant, but most of the people who come into contact with him are impressed, and it is not a problem to serve the public." ”
Sun Quan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then Gu can rest assured that he will hand over the military power to him." ”
"It's just ......" As soon as Sun Quan's voice fell, Zhang Zhao's tone changed, and it seemed to have the meaning of wanting to say something.
Sun Quan knew what he meant, so he was busy retreating left and right, and said: "There are only two people here, Gu and Zibu, you and I should be honest and honest, and Zibu has something to say." ”
Zhang Zhao hesitated for a moment, frowned, and said: "Zhao is thinking, this battle is related to the life and death of my Jiangdong, if the military power is put into the hands of one person, in case of defeat to Cao Ying, or another life, the lord has no soldiers, but how to respond?" ”
Zhang Zhao's sentence "another life and he changes" is very vague, but with Sun Quan's wisdom, it is easy to understand at one point, the brows brows bent, and he said in surprise: "It's okay to be invincible to Cao Ying, as for the change of another life, I think Gu has never treated him badly, it shouldn't be." ”
Zhang Zhao pursed his mouth and said in a low voice: "The lord is kind-hearted and will only treat people with sincerity, but the so-called people's hearts are unpredictable, if some people want to support the army and stand on their own, or they can't stand the temptation of Cao Ying's power and money, it is not impossible." The stakes are very high, and the lord should consider it carefully. ”
Sun Quan was frightened when he heard this, and the more he listened, the more he nodded in agreement with his point of view, and hurriedly said: "Then according to Zibu's opinion, how should Lone prevent this from happening?" ”
Zhang Zhao stroked his beard and smiled at this time, and said: "Military affairs are not what Zhao is good at, and with the wisdom of the lord, there is naturally no need for Zhao to say much." ”
When Sun Quan was still about to ask, the attendant Yan Zhou Yu came to ask for a meeting, and Zhang Zhao said: "Gong Jin must be here to ask for troops from the lord, and Zhao is inconvenient to be here, so he will leave first." ”
That Zhang Zhao didn't want to say it thoroughly, and Sun Quan was helpless, so he had to get up and send Zhang Zhao out of the side door.
"Quickly invite Gong Jin in."
Sun Quan asked the attendant Xuan Zhouyu to enter, and he sat there frowning and pondering, and after a while, the two bitter eyebrows suddenly stretched, he stroked his purple beard, and a smug smile rose on the corner of his mouth.
