Chapter 189: Jiangdong's Internal Affairs

Zhou Yu is not a fief of the stingy Nanjun, mainly because of Sun Shangxiang's straightforward tone in the letter, which made Zhou Yu a little angry.

In addition, in the private letter written by Lu Su to Zhou Yu, he clearly complained to Zhou Yu that Sun Shangxiang turned his elbow outward, protecting Zhang Yuanchang everywhere, which made Zhou Yu have to sigh.

This sister is really married.

The land is a trivial matter, and it is no problem for Zhou Yu to give it directly to Sun Shangxiang without money, so it should be regarded as a thank you to Zhang Xi and Sun Shangxiang for sending Zhang Ji across the river to treat herself.

Zhou Yu, who was born in a family, has twenty hectares of fertile land. Well, to be honest, it's still a bit of a pain.

But that doesn't matter.

The important thing is that how did Sun Shangxiang know about such a big matter of the Sun and Liu families changing land? !

If even Sun Shangxiang knew about the exchange between Nanjun and Jiangxia, then in a few days, wouldn't Jiangdong be going to fry the pot here?!

When the time comes, I will definitely not be pure.

Zhou Yu actually knew about the land exchange between the Sun and Liu families, and at the same time acquiesced.

In the past, Zhou Yu did not agree with Lu Su's idea of changing land, because by doing so, there was a suspicion of letting Liu Bei sit big.

But now Liu Bei, after occupying the four counties of Jingnan, has slowly developed.

And there is one thing that Lu Su said is very reasonable.

After the Battle of Chibi, Jiangdong has always stood on the front line against Cao Cao, whether it is in the Huainan region or in the Jingzhou region, Jiangdong has invested a lot of manpower and material resources, and it is very difficult to develop under the huge pressure of Cao Cao.

On the contrary, Liu Bei does not border Cao Cao at all now, and Cao Cao does not have a naval army, and it is impossible to attack Jiangxia along the Han River.

In other words, as long as the Sun-Liu Alliance still exists, then it can be said that it is only a matter of time before Liu Bei sits big.

Zhou Yu also thought about breaking the situation, and the way he chose was to go west to Yizhou, block Liu Bei's way out again, and suffocate Liu Bei to death in Jingnan.

But who knows that his body is not angry, and a cold wind almost kills him.

Now that there is a problem with his physical condition, he can only recuperate, and Sun Quan can't find a suitable person to lead the troops to attack Bashu in the short term, and the westward expansion strategy has been temporarily abandoned.

Now turning his head and looking at it, Zhou Yu found that Lu Su's one-for-three was not without benefits, at least it could allow Jiangdong to concentrate on the Huainan front line and throw the pressure on Jingzhou to Liu Bei.

Again, this can also reintegrate the sphere of influence of the two families, so that the two families can connect their own territories together, and save themselves from this sandwich gas.

Especially Jiangxia, once it is taken, it will also have enough benefits for Jiangdong, at least the section of the Yangtze River from Lukou to the back will be under the control of Jiangdong, and there are Jiangdong's garrisons on the north bank of the river, which can already be regarded as having the capital to defend Jiangdong.

In the end, Liu Bei originally had five counties, but after one for three, there were only three counties left, and he had to face the pressure of Cao Cao Xiangyang alone, which could be regarded as weakening Liu Bei's strength in disguise.

Therefore, at this time, Lu Su reproposed the plan of one for three, Zhou Yu thought about it again and again, and finally did not object again.

But Zhou Yu originally thought that such an important matter should be carried out very confidential.

After all, the generals of Jiangdong, especially the generals of the Huaisi group, have a lot of land and interests in Nanjun, and such a rash change of land will affect their interests.

So once these generals know about the land exchange, they will definitely quarrel.

Noise is not a problem, Zhou Yu feels that he can suppress it, but recently some people in the Huaisi Group have indeed been too presumptuous, and not long after he returned to Chaisang, he heard a lot of rumors about the Huaisi Group.

Some rumors, even if he is the leader of the Huaisi Group, sound quite unpleasant.

Not to mention Sun Quan, the lord of Jiangdong.

Therefore, as soon as he found out that the matter of land exchange might be leaked out, and then thought of the recent increasingly domineering style within the Huaisi Group, as well as the recent changes in Sun Quan, Zhou Yu weighed the pros and cons for a long time, and finally decided to close the door.

Zhou Yu's move shocked Sun Quan, and he thought that Zhou Yu's condition had suddenly worsened.

Sun Quan immediately put aside government affairs and visited Zhou Yu's mansion in person, and then talked with Zhou Yu secretly for several hours.

When Sun Quan left, his face was very calm, but his heart was really not very calm.

Zhou Yu, the leader of the Huaisi group, actually persuaded himself to increase the military power of some local families and Sun clansmen at the right time to weaken the influence of the Huaisi military merit group.

Sun Quan's heart now, he really doesn't know what to say.

The problem of the Huaisi group became more and more obvious after the Battle of Chibi.

Many generals from the Huaisi Group, because of the Battle of Chibi, made great contributions, not to mention their achievements, and also wantonly annexed land, and the contradictions between them and local families became more and more acute.

Generally speaking, the people of the Huaisi Group have the upper hand, after all, although the Jiangdong family has money and influence in public opinion, but in these years, it is the people who have soldiers in their hands who have the final say, not to mention that they have just won Cao Cao head-on, and Sun Quan has to protect them a little.

But if it continues like this, Sun Quan will also be disgusted.

Sun Quan's best thing is checks and balances, he originally wanted to find an opportunity to knock on the people of the Huaisi Group, but he was afraid of Zhou Yu's feelings, so he delayed it again and again.

Now that Zhou Yu took the initiative to mention this matter, and persuaded himself to use this land exchange to knock on the generals of the Huaisi Group, Sun Quan can only sigh that Zhou Gongjin is a model of people.

Zhou Yu is also helpless, the recent limelight of Huaisi Group is too strong, and some people don't know how to restrain themselves, and often mock the Jiangdong family, saying that if it were not for their bloody struggle and obeying the words of these families, how could there be today's Jiangdong.

This is to take the biggest result of the Battle of Chibi on himself.

This is what the lord Sun Quan can say, but his subordinates can't say this and let it go on, something will happen sooner or later.

Zhou Yu is not a person who doesn't want to protect the Huaisi Group, they are all brothers who have fought together for many years, how could Zhou Yu leave them alone.

But Sun Quan is also not a young master, Sun Quan, who is already twenty-eight years old, has established his prestige after the Battle of Chibi, and will no longer easily tolerate the behavior of some people in the Huaisi group.

Zhou Yu did this, but also hoped that Sun Quan could punish the big admonition and hold it high and let it go, so that everyone could continue to maintain it.

If it really provokes Sun Quan's anger and asks for a few human heads to sacrifice to the sky, that is when everyone is not good-looking.

As the leader of a group, you can't cover up and connive, you must balance when you should balance, you must knock when you should knock, and when you should back down, you must know how to back down.

Therefore, Zhou Yu continued to close the door to thank customers, and as expected, soon the news of the land change spread within Jiangdong.

The old ministers who don't have much to do with Nanjun will come to the door, thinking of taking advantage of this land exchange to seek benefits in Jiangxia, Changsha, and Guiyang counties.

The generals who had a relationship with Nanjun came to the door to ask Zhou Yu how to ensure their interests in Nanjun.

Zhou Yu didn't see anything, only said that everything was subject to the decision of the lord.

At this time, of course, smart people know what to do, and no one can be blamed for the unsmart people being demoted or dismissed.

A small-scale storm on the Jiangdong side continues to ferment, and Jiangxia here.

"Husband, Brother Gongjin gave us the land of Nanjun!" Sun Shangxiang offered a treasure, holding several bamboo slips and dangling in front of Zhang Xi, and said, "Look, this is the title deed, and Brother Gongjin didn't ask for a penny." ”

Zhang Xi is also a little stupid, and there is such a good thing in these years?!

Got a huge piece of land without spending money?!

But then, Zhang Xi's eyes widened and asked, "What are you doing with the land in Nanjun?!" ”

"Didn't you say that you were going to exchange land with Jiangdong? The last time Lu Yutou came over, didn't he discuss this matter?! Sun Shangxiang glanced at Zhang Xi and said.

Lu fish head. Well, it's good if you're happy.

"Then how do you know that it's the land of Nanjun?!" Zhang Xi continued to ask.

Sun Shangxiang looked at Zhang Xi angrily and said, "Husband, I'm not stupid, will my second brother exchange Wu County or Yuzhang County for us land?!" ”

Hm. It makes sense.

"But don't be afraid, what if you guess wrong?!" Zhang Xi finally put his mind at ease and said with a smile.

Sun Shangxiang didn't raise his head, and said, "It's not a guess, this is the news that Mi's wife said, it's not an important thing in the small circle anymore, and I basically already know it, and many people have come to ask me to contact Jiangdong to discuss the purchase of land."

“.”

Zhang Xi was speechless, completely speechless.

Unable to take care of his wife for the time being, Zhang Xi hurried to Liu Bei's mansion.

It's not that I directly asked Liu Bei to react to this matter, but mainly to find Zhuge Liang, who lives in Liu Bei's mansion, and ask him what to do about this matter.

Come on, such an important confidential incident has actually spread in the circle of noble ladies.

Liu Bei Group's secrecy work, is it so bad?!

And when Zhuge Liang heard about this, he was also surprised.

Although he knew that he would not be able to hide this matter sooner or later, Zhuge Liang did not expect it to spread so quickly.

Again, Zhuge Liang didn't expect that many people would contact the generals in Jiangdong through Sun Shangxiang to discuss the acquisition of the land in their hands.

Zhuge Liang pondered carefully, his eyes lit up, pulled Zhang Xi over, and began to mumble.

And the more Zhang Xi listened, the more unhappy he became, and without waiting for Zhuge Liang to finish speaking, he said directly, "This matter is not okay, Xijie will not agree." ”

This Zhuge Liang actually wanted to install a senior spy in Jiangdong through his wife.

It's not an ordinary meticulous work, it's the kind of high-level spy who can infiltrate the decision-making level, and this kind of high-level spy is difficult to gain a foothold in one side of the force without the recommendation of heavyweight figures.

But this kind of thing is absolutely not agreed.

It's okay to install high-level spies, and Zhang Xi doesn't object to any means, but don't provoke my daughter-in-law.

This kind of thing, once it falls, what do you want Sun Shangxiang to think of me?!

Again, now our biggest enemy is Cao Cao, why don't you, the dead fish head, go to the third general and plant a senior spy on Cao Cao through his daughter-in-law.

It's not like we're bullying!!
