Ji Han was constantly deploying troops, and the movement was not small at all on the Eastern Wu side, and Sun Quan naturally got relevant detailed information.

To be honest, Sun Quan wasn't too worried.

Although I said it, I couldn't beat Jiangling after fighting so many times, but over the years, it was I who took the offensive after all, and Shu Han was trying his best to defend.

This gave Sun Quan an illusion that the advantage was mine.

Sun Quan felt that he had a terrain advantage, Jingnan and Jiangxia formed a horn in the terrain and could support each other, and at the same time, the total strength of the two places combined was nearly 100,000, no matter how many troops Shu Han used to attack, even if they couldn't eat, it would not be a problem to retreat.

Of course, Sun Quan is not the principal in the end, although he is confident, he doesn't like micro-exercises, he still knows that professional things are left to professional people to do.

For this reason, Sun Quan sent an edict to Zhu Ran, asking him to return to Jianye from Baqiu to report on the defense of Jingnan and Jiangxia.

At the same time, Sun Quan also recruited Gu Yong, Quan Cong, Ding Feng and others into the palace to provide him with reference advice.

Among these people, there seems to be some key people missing.

For example, Zhang Zhao, Lu Xun, and Buqi are three.

According to the current political pattern of the Eastern Wu Dynasty, Zhang Zhao is the outgoing prime minister, Lu Xun is the military boss, and Bu Qi is the prime minister who is about to succeed. The absence of these three people is somewhat strange.

But so be it. Each has its own reasons.

Bu Qi was not there because Bu Qi was impeached by Lu Yi and was ordered by Sun Quan to reflect behind closed doors.

Bu Qi is the veteran of the Huaisi Military Meritorious Group, and he is the first backup to succeed Zhang Zhao as prime minister, can this old fox not see what Sun Quan is going to do? !

Sun Quan wanted to use Lu Yi's knife to deter the ministers of Eastern Wu and consolidate his imperial power.

But Lu Yi impeached the Taishou-level officials from the Huaisi Group twice, but they were all protected by manpower, and Sun Quan's sharp blade was protected, and it was not good for him to go out of school.

In this case, Lu Yi's impeachment of Bu Qi, on the one hand, is to use Bu Qi's prestige, on the other hand, Sun Quan also knows that Bu Qi can understand his intentions, and he will definitely cooperate with him in this scene.

If he didn't have this eyesight, why would Sun Quan promote Bu Qi to be prime minister again?!

Bu Qiu did understand and cooperated with Sun Quan, but the purpose was not to help Sun Quan consolidate the imperial power, he was still considering the interests of the Huaisi Group.

Since Zhang Zhao was old and Zhou Yu died, the Huaisi Group began to be a little leaderless.

Whether it is Bu Qi or Zhu Ran, they can't play the same role as Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu, at this time, if they still act in a group like before, it will be relatively light to encounter Sun Quan's suspicion, if they let those Jiangdong families take the opportunity to take the position, it will not be good.

It's not impossible, on the side of the Jiangdong family, one Lu Xun and one Gu Yong are also a combination of literature and martial arts, Gu Yong's ability itself is no worse than Bu Qi, and Lu Xun's ability is much stronger than Zhu Ran.

This is not Bu Qi's own judgment, but the original words that Zhou Yu said when he was still alive and chatting with Bu Qi.

Therefore, it is time for the current Huaisi Group to change its style.

This is the reason why Bu Qi cooperated with Sun Quan to act in such a play and used his reputation to endorse Lu Yi's rise.

It's just that in this way, it is not good for Sun Quan to recruit Bu Qi into the palace at this time, otherwise, this scene will be in vain.

And Zhang Zhao didn't come. This matter is still Sun Quan's pot.

Zhang Zhao is actually very old, almost eighty years old, and his health is not very good.

Over the years, Zhang Zhao has slowly begun to unload his positions and responsibilities, handed over to Gu Yong and Buqi step by step, and began to train successors for Dongwu, and he slowly entered a semi-retired life.

Originally, Zhang Zhao had already slowly ignored the outside affairs, but he couldn't stand it, and what Sun Quan did really made Zhang Zhao unbearable.

The monarch mainly checks and balances, Zhang Zhao is not incomprehensible, for example, the practice of one rise and one drop for the Jiangdong family is very in line with the emperor's mental skills.

But Sun Quan's treatment of the Huaisi Military Meritorious Group, using this kind of trick similar to the suppression of cool officials, Bu Qi can bear it, but Zhang Zhao can't bear it.

The only thing that a cool official can do is to intimidate, which is not the means that an emperor should use.

In addition, Lu Yi is a villain, and his ambition is rampant. A lot of things reached Zhang Zhao's ears, which really made this old minister of Eastern Wu unable to listen to it.

For this reason, Zhang Zhao attended the court meeting for a rare time and advised Sun Quan not to reuse a villain like Lu Yi.

Sun Quan was very embarrassed at that time.

Zhang Zhao's status and age are there, even Sun Quan, and it is not good to directly not give Zhang Zhao face at the court meeting.

However, Lu Yi is Sun Quan took out a tool knife, and at present, this knife is still useful, and Sun Quan can't easily abandon it.

For this reason, Sun Quan responded to Zhang Zhao's words on the one hand, and gave Lu Yi a look on the other. That means that you come out to compensate the old prime minister, say a few soft words to coax, and let Zhang Zhao stretch out his hand not to hit the smiling person, and this matter is just fooled.

But Lu Yi misunderstood.

He also thought that Sun Quan gave him a look to let him quickly stand up, refute Zhang Zhao, attract Zhang Zhao's firepower, and prevent Zhang Zhao from putting pressure on the Supreme.

And then the goods really stood up.

Of course, although Lu Yi is a villain, he is not a fool in the end, he knows that an old monster of Zhang Zhao's level is not something that he can offend as a supreme minister.

Therefore, when Lu Yi came up and refuted Zhang Zhao, he still paid more attention to etiquette, and emphasized that everything he did was done in accordance with the laws of Dawu, and there was nothing to bend the law for personal gain.

Lu Yi wanted to use this way to attract Zhang Zhao to debate with him, so that Zhang Zhao could pay attention to him, so that he could relieve Sun Quan, well, he succeeded in doing it.

Zhang Zhao saw that this product actually dared to take the initiative to stand up to him, and he shamelessly said that he followed the law of Dawu. Have you obeyed the law of Dawu, don't you have any points in your own psychology?!

But this matter is a bit difficult to delve into Lu Yi is indeed not a good person, but Sun Quan himself did not act in full accordance with the laws of Dawu when dealing with some officials.

Otherwise, Zheng Zhou and Diao Jia should not be treated like that.

Not to mention the steps.

If you really discuss with Lu Yi whether he obeys the law, the fire may burn to Sun Quan.

How sharp Zhang Zhao's political IQ is, Lu Yi didn't expect this kind of thing, he couldn't think of it?!

But for a villain like Lu Yi, if Zhang Zhao can't teach him a lesson today, he will definitely be unscrupulous in the future. It's hard to say, then you can only do it.

Zhang Zhao slammed his big hand, and directly fanned over with a big fighter, and slapped the defenseless Lu Yi with an upside-down onion.

Well, the civil officials of this year are not people who can only move their mouths and beep, and they are not ambiguous at all when it is time to do it.

But this fan stunned Lu Yi, and Sun Quan was also a little stunned

Sun Quan actually understood that Zhang Zhao was defending himself if he didn't argue with Lu Yi about the law, but at the court meeting, he slapped Lu Yi in front of him, and his face seemed to be a little unable to get off the stage.

Fortunately, at this time, Zhang Zhao quickly handed the steps up - he directly fell to the ground and asked Sun Quan to investigate his crime of dereliction in front of the palace.

The steps have been erected, and the other Eastern Wu ministers have also interceded for Zhang Zhao, so Sun Quan also took advantage of the situation to get down the steps, and ordered Zhang Zhao to reflect on himself at home and not go out if he had nothing to do.

The same punishment is very effective for Buqi, but for Zhang Zhao, it is a symbolic meaning. The old man is almost eighty years old, and he usually doesn't go out at all.

As for Lu Yi being beaten, he was beaten, who made this thing so blind, let you admit your mistakes, you stand up for the line, who will you beat if you don't beat you!!

Anyway, Sun Quan didn't feel how wronged Lu Yi was at all.

In this way, Zhang Zhao was also asked by Sun Quan to "reflect", and not long after this happened, Sun Quan recruited Zhang Zhao into the palace for the sake of face, so Zhang Zhao did not come.

In fact, from this matter, it can also be seen that Sun Quan really didn't take Shu Han's attack seriously. It's really going to be a critical moment when the safety of Dongwu is in danger, Sun Quan can still pull his face, not to mention recruiting Zhang Zhao into the palace, you just let Sun Quan personally invite Zhang Zhao, and Sun Quan will do it.

Sun Quan's refusal to recruit Zhang Zhao and Bu Qi was also based on his own judgment, believing that this change in Shu Han could not pose too much threat to Eastern Wu.

As for not recruiting Lu Xun, on the one hand, Sun Quan's mentality is also causing trouble, and on the other hand, the situation on Lu Xun's side is also a little strange, and the situation is not very clear.

Last month, Lu Xun, who was in Shouchun, and Zhu Ju, who was in Runan, both sent a note to Sun Quan, saying that Cao Wei was showing signs of increasing his troops south.

And the direction of the increase in troops is not Hedong, Hanoi and other places, but Yanzhou, the destination of the increase in troops, it is really difficult to say that they are here to defend Yanzhou, or they are coming to Huainan and Runan.

Sun Quan is treating others with himself, and he thinks that Cao Wei may not really take that covenant seriously. In the last war, Sun Quan secretly occupied Cao Wei County, and now it is not impossible for Cao Wei to retaliate.

Therefore, after considering it comprehensively, Sun Quan felt that it was better to let Lu Xun sit in Huainan and coordinate the overall situation.

After all, there is also a governor here in Jingnan.

And with the turn of face with Shu Han, Zhu Ran, the governor of Jingnan, was also officially promoted to Jingzhou Mu by Sun Quan, and he was also a general with real power.

It's better to ask Zhu Ran about Jingnan, after all, Zhu Ran has been in Jingnan for more than five years, and he can be said to be very familiar with Jingnan's situation.

And Zhu Ran's judgment of Jiangling's abnormal movement is very accurate - Shu Han has a great possibility to attack Jingnan.

But when Sun Quan asked him if he was sure that he could hold Jingnan, Zhu Ran immediately patted his chest and said.

"Even if the Shu thieves raise the people of Jingzhou to attack, they can still block the Yangtze River and prevent the thieves from stepping on the land of Jingnan for half a step!!"

Sun Quan was very pleased.
