Chapter 341: A Thorn
"Why not Liu Biao?" , Sun Quan asked with interest; Lu Su: "Cao Cao's first target on this expedition is Liu Biao, and then us, this is an inevitable sequence, Cao Cao's army is far superior to us in foot cavalry, but it is far inferior to us in the sailor, so if he wants to defeat us, he will inevitably find a sailor as a minion first!" Jingzhou's sailor is his target! He's already planning for Koto! In his opinion, the Grand Governor is undoubtedly a tricky opponent."
"Hmph~~!" Sun Quan snorted, and after a little thought, he said resolutely: "This is the end of the unfavorable rumors about Gongjin, and no one will have to mention it indiscriminately in the future." Gong Zhang, after the discussion, you quickly send an order to all counties and counties, strictly prohibiting the people from spreading this matter again! ”
"Yes, Zhang Zhao commanded!" As for the position of governor, it is still held by the public! Mr. Zijing, you go to Poyang in person, and advise the public not to think about him! Sun Quan turned to Lu Su again and said.
"Lu Su commanded!" All right! This is the end of today's business, and all the princes are scattered! ”; After a while, everyone in the hall was almost dispersed, leaving only Sun Quan and Sun Yi.
"Second brother, are you really so relieved Zhou Yu? This is how this matter was revealed? Sun Yi said with some indignation.
"What else could you do? Jiangdong can't do without him at the moment! Moreover, it is also possible that the truth is as Zijing said, oh, who knows? Sun Quan slowly walked to the door of the council chamber and looked up at the gloomy sky, his young face revealing a mature look that did not match his age.
"Third brother, you and the fourth brother must study the art of martial arts and war diligently, so that the second brother can be in charge of the Jiangdong military horses in the future!" Sun Quan suddenly turned his head and said to Sun Yi.
"No!" Sun Yi nodded affirmatively and said
In the night, on the shore of Poyang Lake, which seemed very lonely, Zhou Yu was dressed in a purple brocade robe, with his hands behind his back, standing straight there looking up at the starry sky. A gust of night wind blew, the brocade clothes fluttered, and with the handsome face carved by heaven, Zhou Yu was like an immortal who wanted to return with the wind.
"Brother Bo Fu, why is God so jealous of talents, a hero like you died early! If I can give you another ten years, you and I will work together to sweep away the Central Plains and achieve your immortal career! What a pity...... Painful......" Zhou Yu stared at the brightest star in the night sky, the starlight was shining, and for a while, it seemed to transform into that familiar heroic face.
"Dudu, it's so late at night, and you haven't rested yet?" A voice came from behind Zhou Yu. "It's Zijing! Haven't you also rested? Zhou Yu turned his head and said to the visitor with a light smile.
"Huh...... Yes, some of them couldn't sleep, so they came out to walk around, and they happened to hear from the soldiers that the governor was here, so they came over! Lu Su said with a smile. Ay...... Zijing, even you are so alienated from me! How did you ever call me 'Governor' before?" Zhou Yu shook his head lightly and said abruptly.
"Gongjin, you misunderstood!" Lu Su smiled and changed his words: "In the barracks, of course, I have to call you the same as a soldier." I didn't expect it to make you wrong! After a pause, Lu Su continued: "Gongjin, you don't have to worry about rumors outside. The lord has ordered all counties to ban the spread of these rumors, and it will naturally subside after a while. What's more, the lord still trusts you quite a lot, and he has no suspicions! ”
After listening to Lu Su's words, Zhou Yu did not show the slightest joy, but shook his head silently.
"Gongjin, do you have anything else to hide? If you don't think Lu Su is incompetent, just say it and let me share your worries! Lu Su said in surprise.
After Zhou Yu pondered for a moment, he said slowly: "Zijing! Zhongmou's temperament is very different from Brother Bo Fu! Brother Bo Fu is straightforward, he has always said one thing, and the good and bad words are said to you face to face, and they will not be hidden in the stomach. Zhong Mou, on the other hand, is more introverted, often saying half of his words and leaving half of them, and what he says may not be exactly what he thinks! I am afraid that the hidden worries of this rumor will not be so easy to dispel. ”
"Are you worried that the lord will still secretly defend you in his heart?" Lu Su twisted his eyebrows and said.
"Yes!" Zhou Yu nodded silently with some gloom: "At the moment of the great enemy, Cao Cao's intention to plot Jiangdong is clearly revealed, do you think I will have chaos again at this time?" The resignation of the position of governor is just to allow us Jiangdong to be monolithic and not be distracted by Cao Cao."
"In that case, Gongjin, you have to find some way to dispel the doubts of the lord as much as possible!" Lu Su thought for a moment and said. "Oh~?!!" Zhou Yu perked up, and hurriedly asked Lu Su: "Zijing, do you have any good plans?" ”
"Yes!" Lu Su nodded slightly, and said in a harmonious voice: "The reason why the lord is suspicious of his courtiers is nothing more than that the merit is high and the lord is strong, and the lord is weak. You can work on this! ”;“ So what to do? ”;“ Hehe......" Lu Su shook his head with a smile and said, "Gongjin, when it comes to military strategy and tactics, I'm afraid there are few people in the world who can match you." But this officialdom strategy is too simplistic!
You are the governor of my Jiangdong Army, commanding most of the military horses in the six counties of Jiangdong, and you have made great contributions to Bo Fu Pingding Jiangdong over the years, and you are also the minister of Bo Fu Gong before his death. With these factors in mind, how could the lord hastily remove you from your position as governor because of some rumors. If you want to give peace to the Lord, you need to find another way! ”
"Please advise!" Zhou Yu said unusually earnestly.
"It's a two-pronged approach. First, you don't have to resign as governor directly, but you can ask the lord to appoint a deputy governor and divide part of his military power among the deputy governor. As for the candidate for the deputy governor, let the lord choose the person he trusts to serve. Second, you can ask the lord to buy you more good land houses, reward you with more money and cloth, and leave your family in Chaisang City, so as to show that you do not have the heart to be dominant in troubled times and start from scratch! Lu Su said.
After Zhou Yu pondered for a moment, a fine light flashed in his eyes as deep as a star, and his originally somewhat depressed face became bright, and he laughed and said to Lu Su: "Zi Jing Miaoce, just do what you say!" Hahaha......"
"Hehe......" Lu Su smiled slightly, and then asked: "This matter is over, the public can be relieved!" ”;“ Call! Then it's time for me to rest! ”
The next day, Lu Su returned to Chaisang, bringing back a handwritten letter from Zhou Yu requesting the establishment of a deputy governor. Sun Quan was overjoyed after reading the letter, and from Zhou Yu's proposal, he set up the post of deputy governor of Jiangdong military horses, and Cheng Demou, a three-generation old minister, held this position!
This time the plan can be said to have failed, but it can also be said to have succeeded, because this rumor and discord plan left a thorn in the two people targeted!
Sun Quan began to suspect that Zhou Yu was oppressing, and Sun Quan did not appease Zhou Yu at the first time when the rumors began, but discussed with his subordinates for a long time, can Zhou Yu not know about this matter? It chilled him!
