A wide car, escorted by many guards, walked in Jianye City.

Pedestrians on the road avoided the road, and the sergeants looked sideways.

Some of the people on the street recognized that the person sitting in the car was Sun Quan.

The car was blocked by the curtain, and everyone couldn't see Sun Quan's expression in the car. @·error-free start~~

But they looked at the direction in which the car was going, and some of the scholars who knew the inside story of Jiangdong officialdom were stunned in their hearts, what is happening in Jiangdong?

Otherwise, why go to that man again?

Not far from the Hussar General's Mansion, Sun Quan's chariot guards came outside a spacious mansion.

The action of the car stopping steadily reminded Sun Quan in the car that he had arrived at his destination.

After realizing that he had arrived at his destination, Sun Quan couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

I thought that he no longer needed to be helped by that person as he did back then, but I didn't expect that now he still came here after going around and around.

Time is also fate.

Sun Quan is a pragmatist, although he is reluctant in his heart, but now that Jiangdong is experiencing drastic changes, there are few good ministers in Jianye City, and he can only discuss national affairs together.

If it weren't for this person back then, after Sun Ce's death, Sun Quan would not have been able to successfully win the hearts of the people and protect Jiangdong, let alone have today's preciousness.

Under this thought in his heart, Sun Quan got up and stepped out of the curtain, and he looked up at the plaque of the mansion in front of him.

"Che Cavalry General Military Division Zhang Mansion".

Seeing the four big characters of Che Cavalry General written on the plaque, Sun Quan only felt extremely dazzling.

Che Cavalry General was the official position that Liu Bei originally gave to Sun Quan, and since he decided to ally with Cao Cao, Sun Quan gave up the official position of Che Cai General and accepted the title of Hussar General given by Cao Cao.

After accepting this title, all the courtiers in the shogunate of his original shogun were replaced with plaques in time.

Among the ministers of the shogunate, only Zhang Zhao, who had the highest status, still maintained the original plaque.

This is Zhang Zhao's resentment that Sun Quan did not listen to his advice and was dissatisfied with his abandonment of Liu Liancao.

Sun Quan felt angry in his heart after seeing this plaque, but thinking that he was asking Zhang Zhao now, he temporarily suppressed his anger in his heart.

Sun Quan turned his eyes away and stopped looking at the plaque.

He got out of the car with the support of his left and right and strode towards Zhang Fuzhong.

At this time, the guards outside Zhang's mansion saw that Sun Quan had suddenly visited, and he was so frightened that he hurried to report Zhang Zhao, but his move was blocked by Sun Quan.

"Don't disturb Zhang Gong, you can enter by yourself."

After stopping the actions of the guards of the Zhang Mansion, Sun Quan also asked all his guards to stay outside the Zhang Mansion, and he only brought his personal companion Gu Li into the room.

Sun Quan, who is nearly forty years old, is not as convenient as his young side, but facing this Zhang Mansion, he is very familiar with it.

Zhang Zhao's mansion was built in accordance with the one given to him by Sun Ce in Wu County that year.

The layout and architectural style inside are exactly the same as those of Zhangfu in Wu County.

When Sun Quan was young, he was ordered by his brother Sun Ce to study scriptures and classics in Zhang Zhao's mansion.

How could Sun Quan not be familiar with the mansion that he had stayed in for several years?

When Sun Quan stepped into Zhang's mansion, looking at the scenes buried in the fond memories of his youth, a feeling of yesterday came to him.

Time flies, and the young man has become the overlord of the southeast.

And the famous place that was regarded as a teacher by that young man back then was also abandoned by the southeast overlord.

Sun Quan, who was immersed in the memories of his childhood, walked towards the interior of Zhang's mansion step by step.

Along the way, many people in Zhang Fuzhong, who knew him, were anxious to bow down to him, but he ignored them one by one, and he walked straight towards his destination.

As I walked through the corridors, the scenery around me kept flashing.

Sun Quan only felt that his legs and feet were becoming more and more convenient, and then he felt like he was back in his youth, and with excitement in his arms, under the leadership of his brother, he went to visit the famous man he admired so much.

I was looking forward to the same mood, but I was studying back then, but now I am asking for help.

After walking for a long time, Sun Quan finally arrived with the memory in his mind.

Outside a spacious lobby.

Then he saw the back of an old man, kneeling on a stone pedestal motionless.

Looking at the back that was a little awkward because of his old age, but extremely familiar, Sun Quan's heart flashed a few traces of emotion.

He remembered the fierce argument between the old man and him a few months ago, and Sun Quan felt a trace of guilt in his heart.

Sun Quan ordered Gu Li behind him to wait in place, and he walked lightly to Zhang Zhao and sat down slowly.

Then he called: "Master Zhang." ”

Since Sun Quan inherited Jiangdong, he has not called this Zhang Shi for more than ten years.

And Sun Quan's sentence of Master Zhang also woke up Zhang Zhao, who was closing his eyes and recuperating.

When Zhang Zhao heard this sound that he hadn't heard for more than ten years, he opened his old eyes. Error-free updates @

After seeing that it was Sun Quan, a trace of disappointment flashed on Zhang Zhao's face.

He thought it was another Sun Lang who had come to call him.

"General."

After speaking, Zhang Zhao was about to get up and bow to Sun Quan, but Sun Quan signaled that he didn't need to get up.

After stopping Zhang Zhao from getting up and saluting, Sun Quan asked Zhang Zhao as if he had solved his doubts when he was a student, "Master Zhang, Jiangdong has suffered a great change today, and the situation is critical, and I hope that Master Zhang will teach me." ”

After finishing speaking, Sun Quan bowed slightly towards Zhang Zhao.

Sun Quan and Zhang Zhao are both masters and apprentices, as well as monarchs and ministers, and their decades-long friendship has already made their relationship extremely deep.

Sun Quan didn't need to bother to test Zhang Zhao, and Sun Quan didn't need to tell Zhang Zhao anything.

Because he knew that Zhang Zhao, who had been in charge of Jiangdong's internal affairs for decades, had protégés and former officials all over Jiangdong, and Zhang Zhao must have received the news he could receive.

Sure enough, after hearing Sun Quan's question, Zhang Zhao had no surprise on his face.

Thinking of the news he had just received, Zhang Zhao's face also showed regret.

He is also one of the Huaisi Group.

But in the face of Sun Quan's inquiry, Zhang Zhao replied: "I am old, and the general's state affairs have Lu Ziming as the general's plan, why do I need to be a person who will enter the earth?" ”

There was resentment in Zhang Zhao's tone.

Sun Quan heard the resentment in Zhang Zhao's mouth, and he knew that Zhang Zhao was complaining that he didn't listen to the advice at the beginning and insisted on carrying Liu Duojing.

If you had listened to what he said, how could you have lost today?

Because he was angry that Sun Quan did not listen to the advice, Zhang Zhao has been passive and slacking off on government affairs for several months to fight.

Facing the resentment in Zhang Zhao's heart, Sun Quan also felt that he was ashamed of Zhang Zhao.

Therefore, he bowed to Zhang Zhaoyi again and said, "Master Zhang, it was because I didn't listen to you that I suffered this defeat. Shameful. ”

"However, the current situation is critical, why can't Zhang Gong put aside his personal grievances and discuss state affairs with Lone to save the situation?"

Sun Quan's second worship did not move the stubborn Zhang Zhao, and he directly stopped saying anything this time.

Sun Quan was already angry because of the defeat of the public security, and now he saw that Zhang Zhao was still indifferent after facing him and apologized twice, Sun Quan couldn't help but be angry.

He grabbed the knife on his waist and said, "Jiangdong scholars worship lonely when they enter the palace, and worship the king when they leave the palace.

And Jun humiliated Lonely in front of him several times, and Lonely was afraid that one day he would miss and hurt Jun. ”

Sun Quan's threatening words, coupled with his action of holding a knife in his hand, if it was an ordinary courtier in Jiangdong, he would have been frightened and at a loss.

But after Zhang Zhao saw this scene, his face was as usual, and he said neither humbly nor arrogantly,

"Mrs. Xi Tai and Marquis Wu do not regard the old ministers as their Majesty, but their Majesty as their old ministers, hoping that the old ministers will think about the ministers' festivals, so that after the two lords are gone, they can be said to repay the kindness of the two masters.

And now that the old minister is shallow and short-minded, and he has disobeyed the general's will, I myself have prepared to abandon the ravine after death.

I didn't expect the general to come to the door today to sit opposite the old minister to discuss politics, and the old minister was honored.

But the ministers are foolish and want to serve the country, and they are determined to be loyal and beneficial, and they are just dedicated to their lives.

If the general thinks that I will succumb to the sword for the sake of glory, it is a big mistake. ”

Zhang Zhao is strong, he is close to his prime, and he has long enjoyed enough honor and wealth.

Now that he is half in the ground, how can he be afraid of Sun Quan's death threat?

When Zhang Zhao's words.

As soon as he said it, Sun Quan knew that his threat was useless.

But in the face of the strong Zhang Zhao, he still couldn't get that hand.

Sun Quan could only throw a knife and cry to Zhang Zhao, "In the past, my mother and brother entrusted the orphan to the teacher, is the teacher really going to abandon me today?" ”

Seeing that Zhang Zhao was soft and hard, Sun Quan planned to move him with emotion.

Sun Quan cried, Zhang Zhao saw Sun Ce mentioned Sun Ce in his words, and his old eyes became confused for a while.

At the beginning, Zhang Zhao was repeatedly written by the Northern Scholars, and in his letters, all the credit for stabilizing Jiangdong was attributed to him.

Zhang Zhao was afraid of selfishness if he wanted to keep it secret but didn't announce it, and if he wanted to tell Sun Ce, it was probably inappropriate, and he was uneasy for a while.

Later, when Sun Ce heard about this, he couldn't help patting him on the shoulder and laughing:

"In the past, the middle was the same as the middle father, the second was the middle father, and the second was the middle father, and the Huan Gong was the hegemon sect. I'm a son of Buxian, I can use it, and I don't care about its fame! ”

To this day, Sun Ce's hearty smile back then is still deeply imprinted in Zhang Zhao's mind.

In the face of suspicion, the one who never doubted himself and went to worship his mother, as if he was shoulder to shoulder.

In the face of persuasion, even if he didn't need it, he would praise himself with a smile and leave all the major affairs in Jiangdong to himself.

I was abandoned by Sun Quan several times in Jiangdong, and I never gave up, in order to repay the friendship of the original one?

With the reputation that he did not lose to Wang Lang and Hua Xin, he returned to the Central Plains, how could he lose to them?

Thinking of Sun Ce, Zhang Zhao's hard heart couldn't help but soften.

He looked at the Jiangdong Supreme in front of him, who he grew up step by step.

He remembered that more than ten years ago, his friend's earnest entrustment before his death, Zhang Zhao could only shake his head helplessly.

The conspiracy can be bearable, how can Bo Fu bear to bear the burden!

Zhang Zhao also had some tears in his eyes at this time, and he asked Sun Quan, "How did Ziming suggest about this matter?" ”

As soon as Zhang Zhao said this, Sun Quan happily looked up at Zhang Zhao.

Zhang Zhao was finally willing to relent.

Sun Quan hurriedly took out the letter that Lu Meng had written to him and showed it to Zhang Zhao, and after Zhang Zhao read it, his face showed a heavy look.

After pondering, Zhang Zhao said to Sun Quan, "At this time, Ziming can retreat, but the general cannot retreat." ”

Hearing Zhang Zhao say this, Sun Quan's eyes lit up, and he asked Zhang Zhao eagerly, "What does Master Zhang mean by this?" ”

Zhang Zhao replied, "Ziming is the commander of the army, so what he said about retiring the army is from the aspect of military struggle. ”

"In terms of military struggle, the morale of the public security is strong at this time, and the morale of the other side is depressed, just as Ziming said, the public security is no longer available, and retreating is the best strategy."

"However, in terms of state affairs, if the general withdraws at this time, it will be a great disadvantage."

"In the first battle of public security, our army lost three generals in a row, if this is the case, it is only the strength of the general's lineage that is damaged, and it is the best policy to retreat back to Jiangdong."

"But in that battle, not only were all the three generals killed, but even their soldiers were almost wiped out."

"Nearly 10,000 Jiangdong elites, at least hundreds of generals and schools have died, and most of those generals are from the major families in Jiangdong."

"In order to attack Jingzhou, the general requisitioned a large number of people's grain and grass, which has caused dissatisfaction among the major families in Jiangdong.

Now that the public security war has caused hundreds of Jiangdong children to fall, so damaged, how can those Jiangdong scholars give up? ”

"The various rumors circulating in Jianye City before are proof that the Jiangdong Shi clan is dissatisfied with the general."

After hearing Zhang Zhao say this, Sun Quan suddenly realized.

Sun Ce pacified Jiangdong that year, relying on the strength of the Huaisi generals who followed him south.

And since the occupation of Jiangdong, because Sun Quan has been unable to defeat Huaisi for a long time, the strength of the Huaisi group has not been replenished, and one has died one less.

In such a situation, the pattern in the Koto army became:

Most of the main generals are Huaisi generals or clan relatives, but those middle-level generals in the army are mostly held by a large number of Jiangdong scholars or children of local wealthy families.

It is true that in the first battle of public security, the death of Huang Gai and the three was a heavy blow to the Huaisi group in Jiangdong.

But the life and death of the outstanding sons and daughters of hundreds of armies, right.

For the local wealthy families in Jiangdong, why not be a heavy blow?

Even the 20-year Battle of Hefei in Jian'an, which Sun Quan regarded as a great shame in his life, did not cause such consequences.

Although Jiangdong was defeated in that battle, not many people died, and most of them were just Sun Quan's guards.

Moreover, most of the famous generals in Huaisi were there at that time, and they could suppress the dissatisfaction of the local scholars.

But time has changed, and in the first battle of public security, too many people died, and the scope of the attack was too wide.

If the situation is different, then it is natural to take a different approach. Error-free updates @

Zhang Zhao continued, "At this time, there is dissatisfaction with the Jiangdong clan inside, and the strength of Huaisi is declining outside, and the general can withdraw at this time, but he must not retreat immediately. ”

"The army outside the public security city is mostly composed of soldiers from Jiangdong.

If the general ordered them to return to Jiangdong immediately, once the tens of thousands of troops were disbanded and returned to their own homes, the wealthy families of Jiangdong would instantly increase their troops.

At that time, the disgruntled Jiangdong family will inevitably have turmoil. ”

"And if the general temporarily leaves the tens of thousands of troops outside the public security city, because Jiangdong's troops are on the front line, and the wealthy families in the territory have no troops to rely on, there is nothing to be afraid of for the time being."

"And in order to supply the army at the front, the general can also take the opportunity to continuously extract the grain and grass of the wealthy families of various families, and take a step to weaken the strength of the dissatisfied people in the territory."

"During this period of time, Lao Chen in Jianye strictly inspected the wealthy families of Jiangdong for the general, and uprooted those who disobeyed the generals one by one."

"After that, it is the best plan for the general to order the army to return to Jiangdong to recuperate."

After listening to Zhang Zhao's strategy, Sun Quan couldn't help but feel enlightened.

What is the old Cheng Mou country, this is.

Zhang Zhao, who has been in charge of Jiangdong's major politics for decades, can be said to be the person who knows Jiangdong's internal affairs best.

His proposal was more comprehensive than that of Lü Meng, and was considered from the perspective of preserving the overall stability of Jiangdong.

Obviously, Zhang Zhao's remarks are also most in line with Sun Quan's heart.

The reason why Sun Quan was sad that Huang Gai and a few people died, and why he was sad that nearly 10,000 elites had disappeared, was that Jiangdong would be unstable because of this.

And Zhang Zhao's plan can dispel his concerns.

But Sun Quan felt that this strategy was still a little imperfect.

Sun Quan said, "But now Ziming is seriously ill, and the army outside the public security city is unstable.

There are no other generals in our army at present, who can appease people's hearts like Ziming, so what can I do? ”

The unstable heart of the army outside the public security city is the biggest reason why Lu Meng wants to retreat.

If it can't appease the morale of the army, then this point will be a time bomb for the Jiangdong army outside the public security city.

And now Lu Meng will die of illness at any time, which makes Sun Quan a headache.

After listening to Sun Quan's doubts, Zhang Zhao glanced at Sun Quan and said: "Now in Jiangdong, there is only one person who can suppress the generals and stabilize the morale of the army. ”

Hearing Zhang Zhao say this, Sun Quan instantly became curious, he bent forward and asked Zhang Zhao, "Who is it?" ”

Even if Zhang Zhao was reluctant in his heart, for the sake of the overall situation, he could only say, "That's you, the general." ”

Hearing Zhang Zhao say this, Sun Quan reacted, yes, how did I forget myself.

He has been in charge of Jiangdong for nearly twenty years, and in terms of prestige in Jiangdong, who else can be higher than him?

Zhang Zhao continued, "The general can personally go to the front line to command the troops and replace Ziming. ”

"As soon as the general arrives, the hearts of the generals will naturally be at ease, and as soon as the hearts of the generals are at peace, the army will be at peace."

"And the general to the public security, can not only calm the morale of the army, but also firmly hold the Jiangdong army in his hands, without pretending to be in the hands of others.

If there is sudden turmoil in Jiangdong, the general can also lead a large army back to Jiangdong to quell the turmoil. ”

"I will stay in Jianye, sort out the interior for the general, and destroy the unsubordinate."

After Zhang Zhao finished saying this, Sun Quan's face finally showed great joy.

With Zhang Zhao out of the horse, the current situation of undercurrents surging in Jiangdong will definitely be properly resolved.

Just like when he was first in charge of Jiangdong, Zhang Zhao supported him.

A piece of his heart finally had a solution.

Seeing that Sun Quan had a happy look on his face, Zhang Zhao solemnly mentioned.

Xing Sun Quan said, "General and remember, as Ziming said, public security is no longer available." ”

"The general only needs to stabilize the morale of the army this time, and after the internal stability of Jiangdong, he can lead the army back to recuperate."

Although Zhang Zhao is not optimistic about Sun Quan's ability to command the army, only Sun Quan can replace Lü Meng to stabilize the army's morale.

And Sun Quan went this time not to attack, but to defend, this shouldn't be a big problem, right?

It's Zhang Zhao's reminder, I don't know if Sun Quan listened to it.

In the end, Zhang Zhao took the initiative to bow to Sun Quan, and he said to Sun Quan, "If Jiangdong survives this crisis safely, the old minister has only one request." ”

At this time, Sun Quan was in a good mood, and he hurriedly helped Zhang Zhao up, "As long as Master Zhang can help me stabilize Jiangdong, whatever I want, I will agree." ”

After getting Sun Quan's promise, Zhang Zhao said with hope: "Although the minister knows that he doesn't need to speak, every foolish and loyal person will sincerely think that Wu Hou is about to collapse, call the old minister under the bed, and take care of his life. ”

"I only wish to let Feng'er inherit the position of Marquis Wu as soon as possible and fulfill the last wish of the ancestor back then."

This was the last thing Zhang Zhaoneng did for Sun Ce.

After hearing Zhang Zhao's request, Sun Quan's eyes were a little gloomy.

He had the intention to refuse Zhang Zhao, but thinking that he still needed Zhang Zhao to stabilize Jiangdong for him, he could only nod and agree temporarily.

After that, Sun Quan immediately left Zhang's Mansion and returned to the General's Mansion to arrange for Jing.

The world is impermanent, and Mi Fang used a counter-strategy at the beginning, originally thinking that the Jiangdong army would retreat as soon as possible without a fight. @

Unexpectedly, under the misfortune, this move made Sun Quan and Zhang Zhao think that the rumors in the city were a sign that the Jiangdong family had begun to fight back, which prompted Sun Quan to go to Jingzhou.

I just don't know if Mi Yang should thank his father in the end? .
