Chapter 633: One Mountain and Two Tigers
"If we leave so soon, there won't be any problems on the Jiangdong side, right?" Sun Quan couldn't help but say. Originally, according to Sun Quan's thoughts, during this time, he wanted to settle the people who had stirred up trouble in Wu County before.
There is a sentence that Zhou Yu is right, Sun Wei must be severely punished, and Sun Quan has no opinion on this. However, while severely punishing Sun Wei, such a group of people with ulterior motives cannot be let go, killing chickens and making an example of monkeys, sometimes it is not enough to kill just one chicken.
In contrast, Sun Quan didn't think that Sun Ben and Xu Kun's side were not important, but that there should indeed be a priority here. The inside is not stable, how can you feel at ease outside?
Moreover, Sun Quan always believed that retaking Lujiang at this time was likely to affect the layout of Cao Cao's camp, and if it really happened in the end, resulting in Cao Cao's rapid defeat, then the result would probably be even more unfavorable to Jiangdong.
"As long as the military power is in hand, others can't make any big waves." Zhou Yu said indifferently, in this regard, Zhou Yu has always held a fairly consistent opinion with Sun Ce. The world is determined by force, the power of the army is in hand, and everything else is a floating cloud. The reason why Sun Wei was severely punished in front was also because Sun Wei led the troops to seize power, and Sun Wei really had a chance to succeed.
"My lord, do I have any thoughts?" Zhou Yu asked Sun Quan directly.
"Nope." Sun Quan shook his head, Zhou Yu's suggestion was indeed fine. This kind of thing is originally a matter of opinion, and until the end, no, even if it is at the end, it is not necessarily known who is right and who is wrong.
It's just a deep sense of powerlessness.
Ay. Sun Quan didn't want to be the lord in the first place, but now it's good, just two days after becoming the lord, he encountered a scene that made Sun Quan restrain his hands.
No way, Zhou Yu's situation is too special.
In the past, Sun Quan, relying on his father Sun Jian's superstition about him, could do whatever he wanted, not to mention major family affairs, at least his own affairs, and he could often make his own decisions. Later, Sun Quan was nominally the second-in-command of Jiangdong, but because he was separated from Sun Ce, Sun Ce trusted Sun Quan very much, and he was also not very in charge of things, so in fact, Sun Quan himself had the final say. As a result, now, Sun Quan, who has officially become the overlord of Jiangdong, can't let go of his hands and feet.
Of course, it's not that Sun Quan is stubborn and can't listen to other people's different opinions. Along the way, whether it is Diao Chan or Wu Jing, because they have a good relationship with Sun Quan, they almost always have something to say, and they will not have too many concerns.
It's just that Diao's tone is: I want you to do this. And Wu Jing's tone was: I suggest this. But now Zhou Yu's tone is: You should do this!
First, because Zhou Yu can almost be regarded as Sun Quan's brother, not to mention Sun Quan, even to Sun Ce, Zhou Yu has such a tone, and it is no wonder that he is not surprised. Moreover, unlike Wu Jing, who is also Sun Quan's elder, Wu Jing recognizes Sun Quan's identity as the superior from the bottom of his heart, but what about Zhou Yu, in Zhou Yu's heart, Sun Quan has always been a custodian, not to mention that he has no reverence for Sun Quan, and even in many cases, out of subjective assumptions, Zhou Yu has to help his brother Sun Ce keep an eye on Sun Quan, so that Sun Quan can't squander the family business casually, and can't mess around.
As a result, the current situation has become that Zhou Yu is making decisions behind the scenes, and Sun Quan only needs to be a puppet in front of the stage. Maybe this was not Sun Ce's original intention at all, nor did Zhou Yu do it on purpose, but Zhou Yu naturally did it for the sake of his brother.
In fact, according to Sun Quan's character, a puppet is a puppet, he doesn't care, he ends up relaxed, Sun Quan is quite happy. Sun Quan has never been the kind of person who particularly likes power, and he doesn't stand being criticized by others, but! Sun Quan is a responsible person.
In this regard, Sun Quan is actually the same as Zhou Yu. Sun Quan recognized Zhou Yu's ability, and Zhou Yu also recognized Sun Quan's talent, but when the two of them had different ideas, they would be firm in their hearts that they were right. Therefore, Sun Quan was worried that Zhou Yu would bring Jiangdong into the ditch, and Zhou Yu was worried that Sun Quan would bring Jiangdong into the ditch. This seemingly identical goal has become the biggest contradiction between the two.
So as the saying goes, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, unless there is one male and one female.
••••••
During the exchange between Sun Quan and Zhou Yu, people from Cao Cao's side came, people from Liu Biao's side came, and people from Yuan Shao's side also came.
Of course, under the deliberate arrangement of the Sun family, these people came to worship Sun Ce separately, and they did not meet each other, although everyone was well aware of the existence of the other party, but at least it was not embarrassing. And what is somewhat surprising and reasonable is that this time the three parties sent over are actually heavyweights.
Due to the hurry of coming back and preparing for Sun Ce's memorial as soon as possible, it was not until soon ago that Sun Quan knew who the three forces were coming.
It's kind of interesting.
Sun Quan's eyes flashed, and important people came, indicating that it was not as simple as going through the motions, they must all have important things to talk about with Sun Quan. And only important people can make some big decisions on the spot.
It seems to have become a sweet tooth! Isn't that a good opportunity to sit on the ground and raise prices?
Just thinking like this, Sun Quan suddenly remembered Zhou Yu behind him, and suddenly had a headache again. Zhou Yu was in a hurry to let him rush to Lujiang, and he would not leave Sun Quan time to toss around at all. I'm afraid that in Zhou Yu's eyes, Sun Quan values small profits, and Lujiang is the overall situation.
Hey, big brother, look at the mess you've left me.
Sun Quan is not impossible to be strong, but Zhou Yu, as one of the insiders of Sun Ce's death, if Sun Quan wants to be strong against Zhou Yu, will Zhou Yu mistakenly think that he Sun Quan really wants to seize power, he wants to eliminate dissidents and establish his own team?
Just when Sun Quan was thinking about the east and west,
"Lord, Sun Jing is here." Zhou Yu reminded loudly.
Sun Quan's face was straight, and he knew that today's highlight had arrived!
Sun Jing, as Sun Wei's father, is impossible to say that he does not intercede for Sun Wei. As Sun Quan's third uncle and Sun Jian's younger brother, Sun Jing has been guarding the Sun family's bloodline in the clan, and has a very high prestige among the clansmen.
Therefore, how to deal with this problem is what Sun Quan is most worried about today, and it is also what others are most concerned about today. Especially Zhang Zhao and other ministers, they all wanted to take a good look at Sun Quan and think about the scale of Sun Quan's judgment and his ability to withstand pressure.
In this regard, Sun Quan did not hesitate to use a skill. Soon, after exiting the illusion, Sun Quan's face became gloomy.
What a Sun Jing!
It's not enough to come to worship Sun Ce, but also to bring countless children of the Sun family, and actually bring Sun Wei, who should have been detained, over.
Sun Hui, are you also qualified to come to worship!
"Don't let people in just yet." Sun Quan immediately ordered to go down, otherwise, Sun Jing would be caught off guard.
