In the real world...

Lujiang Taishou Mansion.

Lu Bu continued to brainstorm, relying on the few remaining prophetic advantages to calculate the current situation in Jiangdong.

Zhou Yu's prestige is not high, and at this stage, he can't fully exert the effect of Dinghai Shen's needle.

However, this alone is not enough to plot Koto.

Only on this basis, can Sun Quan's next possible move be responded to in advance, and the possibility of stabilizing the situation in Jiangdong can be dismantled, and then he can send troops across the river to seize Jiangdong in one fell swoop.

And if you want to anticipate the enemy's opportunity, you have to refer to the original history.

In the original time and space, in the fifth year of Jian'an (200 AD), Sun Ce, the founder of Jiangdong Foundation, was assassinated and died of his injuries.

Before his death, Sun Ce passed the position of lord of Jiangdong to his 18-year-old brother Sun Quan, and told him to "raise the virtuous and capable, and do their best to protect Jiangdong".

As a result, Sun Quan officially stepped onto the stage as a prince.

At that time, the situation faced by Sun Quan was very complicated, Jiangdong was not completely calm, and because of Sun Ce's sudden death, the internal people were somewhat unstable.

In addition, some of the Sun clansmen, as well as the Jiangdong ministers who looked down on Sun Quan, were also ready to move, trying to arm a rebellion and usurp Sun Quan's power.

Obviously, the position that Sun Quan took over was not firm, and if he was not careful, he might even become a hot potato.

In such a difficult situation, in order to maintain stability, Sun Quan sacrificed three powerful measures.

Step 1: Pacify the old ministry.

Sun Quan realized that only by appeasing the old ministry and gaining their approval could he stabilize the basic market.

So after ascending to the throne, the veterans who followed Sun Ce to establish Jiangdong Foundation were all appeased. Treat Zhang Zhao as a teacher, with Zhou Yu, Cheng Pu, Lu Fan, Zhu Zhi and so on as the generals.

Among these people, most of them are retainers of the Sun family, except for a very few people such as Zhu Zhi, most of them are not from Jiangdong.

Most of them followed Sun Ce because of their ideals.

Now that Sun Ce is dead, can Sun Quan continue Sun Ce's ideals? Is there any ability to keep the foundation laid by Sun Ce? This will determine their level of loyalty.

Judging from the fact that after Sun Ce's death, Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu, the two backbones of Wen and Wuwu, were escorted, Sun Quan was obviously recognized by them.

With the approval of Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu, the appeasement of the rest of the elders was relatively simple.

Step 2: Bring in new people.

Through the introduction of new talents, increase their own voice in decision-making, recruit their own cronies and talents, and build a ruling staff team that can be used as an arm to stabilize the place.

Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yu, Cheng Pu and others may be very loyal, but their qualifications are there, and it is difficult to say that there is no situation of relying on meritorious service and relying on the old to sell the old. This leads to Sun Quan's ability to pay attention to his methods and attitudes when dealing with them, and he can't force decisions that they disagree with, try to be soft, and can't use coercion.

But Sun Quan is the lord of Jiangdong after all, and he is still an ambitious lord of Jiangdong, and it is impossible for his authority to be suppressed all the time.

Moreover, it is dangerous for a well-established regime to rely only on one person or a few people.

Therefore, after Sun Quan came to power, he also recruited a large number of new talents to enter the ruling team in Jiangdong.

Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu also recognized this very much, and spared no effort to help Sun Quan find and recommend talents.

This group of newcomers is divided into two parts, one part is non-Jiangdong people such as Zhuge Jin and Lu Su.

The other part is the local heroes in Jiangdong, such as Gu Yong, Lu Xun, Zhang Wen and other people from major families in Jiangnan.

Bringing these people into the Jiangdong ruling team can effectively dilute the influence of the old ministers, and when making decisions, Sun Quan's confidence and voice will be greater.

In particular, the use of talents in the major families in Jiangnan was of considerable benefit to Sun Quan in stabilizing the local situation in Jiangdong.

At this time in the late Han Dynasty, the influence of local tyrants and scholars on the local area was far greater than that of the center.

When Sun Ce was in power, because of his brutal methods, he had a bad relationship with the local forces in Jiangdong, and was finally assassinated.

Sun Quan learned the lesson of Sun Ce and adopted Huairou means to win over these powerful and noble clans, and the effect was very good.

At least until Sun Quan's death, the talents of the major families in Jiangnan gradually replaced the Jiangdong elders and became the new cornerstone of the Jiangdong regime, helping Jiangdong to take the lead.

Moreover, at the time when Sun Quan first ascended the throne, there were many new talents who defected and occupied important positions, which would also make most Jiangdong people feel that Sun Quan was hopeful.

[To tell the truth, I've been chasing more with reading books recently, switching sources, and reading aloud with more timbre,.. Both Android and Apple are available. 】

Step 3: Take a tough stance on the insurgency and remove the threat quickly.

After Sun Quan ascended the throne, Sun Ce appointed Li Shu, the Taishou of Lujiang, Sun Fu, Sun Wei, etc., all of whom were not subordinate.

Except for Sun Wei, who was stationed in Wucheng (present-day Huzhou, Zhejiang), who was persuaded by Yu to retreat, the forces of the other two were forcibly cleared by Sun Quan.

Sun Fu colluded with Cao Cao in the incident, considering that he was a relative of the Sun family, Sun Quan did not kill him, and after depriving his subordinates, he was exiled and imprisoned.

But for the foreign surname Li Shu, Sun Quan has an attitude, and he wants to use his head to establish authority.

Li Shu is the Taishou of the Lujiang River, and his seat of governance is on the north bank of the Yangtze River.

In order to avoid Cao Cao's misunderstanding in Jiangbei, Sun Quan also wrote a letter to Cao Cao to obtain his understanding (Cao Cao was preparing for the decisive battle of Guandu at that time, and he had no time to take care of this matter), and then personally led the army to the north.

Without Cao Cao's help, Li Shu could only sit and wait to be eliminated by Sun Quan.

In the process, Sun Quan slaughtered the city after breaking the city in order to completely defeat it, which not only captured tens of thousands of people back to Jiangdong, but also reined in the local forces that were about to move.

Without local forces to wreak havoc behind him, Sun Quan easily quelled the rebellion of the Shanyue tribe, and the situation in Jiangnan gradually stabilized.

- This is Sun Quan's operation in the original time and space.

Now, Sun Ce was assassinated more than a year early, Lujiang has become Lu Bu's territory, and Sun Quan, who took over Jiangdong, is only sixteen years old, and the situation he faces is much more severe than the original time and space.

But there is no doubt that Sun Quan will still use the three steps of "appeasing the old department, recruiting talents, and recruiting rebellions" to control the situation in Jiangdong.

Therefore, Lu Bu did not intend to give Sun Quan this opportunity.

In the original time and space, the reason why Sun Quan was able to firmly control the situation in Jiangdong in the eight years from taking over Sun Ce to the Chibi War, and still had the strength to seize Jiangxia County in Jingzhou, depended not only on Sun Quan's correct decision, but also on the external environment that was favorable to Jiangdong.

At that time, Cao Cao was competing with Yuan Shao's power group for the position of the overlord of the north, and he had no time to look south. Liu Biao of Jingzhou was dealing with the rebellion of Zhang Xian, the Taishou of Changsha and the attack of Zhang Jin, the pastor of Jiaozhou, and he had no time to look east.

Judging from this, in the step of Sun Quan's entrapment of the old ministers, Lu Bu could not intervene.

But in the second step of "bringing in new people" and the third step of "quelling the rebellion", Lu Bu could intervene to interrupt Sun Quan's plan.

Lu Su, Zhuge Jin, Lu Meng, Lu Xun, Gan Ning, Tai Shici...

Lu Bu wrote down on the wooden slip one by one those who were still in the field at this stage, and a group of talents who had defected to Jiangdong in the original time and space, and scrutinized them one by one.

These are all people that Lu Bu can preemptively woo.

Lu Bu called Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and other generals, gave them instructions, and personally sent them across the river to do big things.

He also called Chen Qun and Chen Gong, and arranged orders one by one.

Then sit down in Lujiang and wait for the development of the situation.

……

East Side.

Lu Su, who was doing a funeral for his grandmother, received a letter.

This letter was sent by my friend Liu Ye.

The content is to persuade him to take refuge in Lu Bu.

This made Lu Su very excited.

In the middle of this year (198), Zhou Yu crossed the Yangtze River east to join Sun Ce, and Lu Su walked with him and left his home in Qu'a. But after seeing Sun Ce, although Sun Ce appreciated Lu Su very much, he did not appoint him.

After that, Lu Su returned to Dongcheng to handle the funeral due to the death of his grandmother.

Liu Xun, the Taishou of Lujiang, was transferred out of Lujiang because of Yuan Shu and Lu Bu's "exchanging continents for counties" and was reappointed as the Taishou of Guangling, and the strategist Liu Ye also followed.

Liu Ye was a good friend of Lu Su, and when he saw this situation, he wrote to him, in which he said: "Now that Sun Ce is dead, Sun Quan is young, and Yuan Shu is not enough to seek great things, with your qualifications and talents, it is especially suitable for today's social situation." You better go back and pick up your mother quickly, and don't stay in Jiangzuo. Now that Lu Bu occupies Lujiang and has tens of thousands of soldiers, many people in Lujiang County have gone to rely on him. Looking at his trend, more talents will be gathered, and the opportunity cannot be missed, you should go to Lujiang to join him as soon as possible. ”

Lu Su thought about it and felt that Liu Ye's opinion was very forward-looking, so he decided to follow it.

After burying his grandmother, Lu Su returned to Qu'a, wanted to straighten up his outfit and defected to Lujiang.

However, before the front foot reached the door of the house, it bumped into the person sent by Zhou Yu.

After asking, it turned out that Zhou Yu planned to take Lu Su's mother to Wu County, and then recommended him to work for Sun Quan.

Lu Su was surprised, so he took the group back home.

Then I found that the family was picked up by someone sent by Lu Bu.

Lu Su had no choice but to tell Liu Ye's suggestion and his plan to defect to Lu Bu to the people sent by Zhou Yu, and asked them to tell Zhou Lang.

Then he hurriedly left Qu'a and went straight to Lujiang.

Zhou Yu was shocked when he heard the news, and chased after him overnight, and finally caught up with Lusu by the river.

The two held hands and had a long talk, and Zhou Yu opposed Lu Su's plan to travel north. and told Lu Su that in Sun Quan's new team, he was in charge of the military power, and repeatedly promised that Lu Su would be reused.

Moreover, Zhou Yu also told Lu Su that after Sun Ce's death, the current situation in Jiangdong was quite chaotic, and it was only with the full support of him, Zhang Zhao and others that he could barely maintain the situation, and he urgently needed talent support.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Yu quoted the Eastern Han Dynasty general Ma Yuan's words "In today's world, not only the king chooses the minister, but also the minister chooses the king" to warn Lu Su not to easily defect to those who do not understand.

Finally, Zhou Yu told Lu Su that Sun Quan was a very bold leader, good at listening to different opinions, and paying attention to absorbing and accommodating talents from all walks of life. Follow Sun Quan, and you will definitely be able to achieve a career in the future.

Although Lu Su felt that Zhou Yu was reasonable, he was reluctant to leave Jiangdong, but his family was in the north and he was not allowed not to go.

After a little hesitation, he gave up the idea of staying in Jiangdong, waved goodbye to Zhou Yu, and went straight across the river to vote for Lu Bu.

Seeing that Lu Su did not follow his words. Zhou Yu immediately returned to Wu County and made a statement to Sun Quan to garrison troops on the river to guard against Lü Bu's attack.

At the same time, Tai Shici, who was in the sea dusk, also ushered in an uninvited guest.
