Zhao Fan has always been depressed from being in Jiangdong to joining Liu Xuan's command, only having the ability to barely survive, but he has no spare energy to find his lost brother.

Later, although he was appreciated by Tai Shi Ci, Tai Shi Ci was soon idle in the sea dusk, and there was no way to find relatives for Zhao Fan.

Except for Tai Shici, no one else in the whole army knew Zhao Zhuo's name, and just now Long Xiang not only said it seriously, but also briefly described the separation of the brothers, so Zhao Fan couldn't help but believe it.

Long Xiang wanted to poach Tai Shici, but the other party didn't care about it like a cold goddess, and now that he has such a good entry point, it is not so easy to explain it.

Thinking of the disparity in the identities of the brothers Zhao Fan and Zhao Fan, and doing things in the hostile camp, it is useless for Long Xiang to tell the truth now, and the Zhao brothers are not easy to recognize each other in a short time.

Long Xiangyan had someone in the caravan who inquired about the situation, and his knowledge was very limited, so he suggested that Zhao Fan should have time to go to Hefei for a detailed discussion.

Zhao Fan is the deputy general of Tai Shi Ci, if Tai Shi Ci is compared to a goddess, Zhao Fan is like a girlfriend in the future world, it is too difficult to directly pursue the goddess, but he can get close to the girlfriend curve to save the country.

Long Xiang believes that as long as he has more contact, he will definitely change through quantity to quality, and when the time comes, he only needs an opportunity to help Liu Bei take Tai Shici under his command.

After Tai Shici understood the situation, he said to Zhao Fan seriously: "Since there is news of my brother, it is understandable that Bo often goes to Hefei to understand, but Long Xiang is not simple, you have to pay more attention." ”

"The last general can be saved."

Zhao Fan bowed slightly, and then hugged his fists and apologized: "I haven't seen the lord ship come until now, it seems that the news I received that day is false, it's all because I didn't verify it clearly, if the lord blames the general in the future, you can just push me out." ”

"Bo Chang didn't see the lord at that time, and the starting point was also for my sake, you and I were like brothers after we met, how could I do such a thing?"

Tai Shi Ci shook his head slightly, and suddenly had a terrible thought: "Do you say that all this is the layout of Long Xiang?" Good for me to accept his favor? ”

"General Dragon? How is this possible? ”

Zhao Fan waved his hand and analyzed for Tai Shici: "First of all, whether Mei Cheng is willing to vote for Jiangdong, Ziyi should know best in his heart, he also burned Zhang Liao's rice fields for this;

Secondly, Sun Ben's personal soldiers came from the upstream by boat, and at that time, the mouth of the water was blocked by our army, and all ships in the direction of Hefei were not allowed to go out, unless someone carried them to the Yangtze River by land;

In the end, the lord withdrew his troops from Jiangxia, if all this was controlled by General Long, he would be more powerful than the immortal Yu Jidu back then. ”

"yes." Tai Shi Ci bowed slightly: "I'm just casually talking, Long Yunqi is just a mortal in the end, and he can't do ghosts and gods, but who will pretend to be Sun Ben to entertain me?" ”

"Anyway, it's a suspicious person" Zhao Fan shook his head lightly while holding his beard, and then asked: "Do you want to report this matter to Wu Jun?" Hefei and Wu County have close commerce, Ziyi has to cover up this matter as soon as possible, maybe he can ask General Long for help? ”

"Looking for Long Xiang to help cover up? It's not worth it, and if you lose, you're defeated."

Seeing that Tai Shici shook his head and refused, Zhao Fan whispered: "I heard that Wu Hou has a suspicious personality, if he knows that General Long rescued him, he may have bad thoughts."

"But the ugliness has come out, and it can't be hidden deliberately, even if we don't say it, Zhang Liao may also preach it."

Tai Shici sighed when he suddenly had an idea, so he instructed Zhao Fan to say: "Since Bo Chang is going to find his brother, he will bring some gifts to Hefei tomorrow, and by the way, thank Long Yunqi for his friendship, and then ask him to restrain the businessman not to spread the word, Zhang Liao is deflated in Long Xiang's hands today, I don't think it's a glorious thing." ”

Zhao Fan stroked his palm and praised: "That's right, the general's task is to guard Liyang, and there is no need to report everything." ”

"As Bo Chang said, we, the new master of Jiangdong, are suspicious, and it would be inappropriate if we completely conceal it and not report it, so I have to take the initiative to write a letter to ask for guilt."

"Please?"

"That's right, after all, I have a plan to mobilize troops, and I have to let the lord know that there are people inside who are troubled."

"Hiss"

Zhao Fan took a breath and reminded: "The general acts like this, how can he not offend Sun Ben?" ”

"I didn't say that Sun Boyang faked the military order, the lord will go to find out the person who is troubled, if we don't tell the truth now, with Liyang's current strength, I'm afraid it won't be able to stop Zhang Liao, this person seems to hate me to the core, I'm worried that he will send troops to retaliate."

Tai Shi Ci stroked his beard and talked about his worries, and he hoped in his heart that Sun Quan could replenish Liyang's troops.

Zhao Fan thought it was true after hearing this, and praised: "Ziyi takes retreat as advance, I think the lord can understand, maybe he will send some troops." ”

"Hopefully." Tai Shi Ci nodded in agreement.

In July, the rice was ripe, and all parts of Jianghuai were busy harvesting grain.

When Tai Shici's petition was sent to Wu County, Sun Quan had just finished the funeral for Ling Cao, and appointed the fourteen-year-old Ling Tong as the Sima of the other department to lead the troops left behind by Ling Cao.

One Lu Meng, one Ling Tong.

was co-opted by Sun Quan in this way, became Sun Quan's key training henchmen, and sent both of them to the command of Chaisang Zhou Yu, secretly monitoring the heavy army governor for himself.

Sun Quan experienced the disobedience of Jiangxia's orders, and he realized that it was too difficult to regain military power head-on, and he had to really grasp the real power in the army to have the right to speak.

In addition to secretly cultivating young generals like Lü Meng and Ling Tong, he also boldly used local generals like Huiji Heqi.

After reading the Taishi Cihuai Southern War Report, Sun Quan fell into contemplation again.

Who's doing the trick?

Sun Ben? Zhou Yu? Sun Yi? It seems possible.

The Jiangdong Shi clan is also the object of suspicion, and the Shanyue rebellion that broke out at the same time in various places, if no one takes the lead in tandem and incitement, it will never break out in a concentrated time.

Sun Quan is good at power and balance, and from Sun Ce's tragic lesson, he found that the local scholars have always pursued power to ensure that the interests of the family are not violated.

When Sun Ce pacified the interests of Jiangdong, he only focused on the interests of the courtiers who followed him to fight the country, and ignored the powerful force of the local scholars.

So, after reading Tai Shici's letter of plea, Sun Quan made appointments with several clan leaders in a row.

Sun Quan first summoned Lu Yi to the shogunate, and soon released him as the governor of Haichang Tuntian, Haichang County is divided into two counties of Fist and Haiyan, and Xinxian County is close to the East China Sea, which is the main salt-producing area of Wu County, which is equivalent to giving Lu Yi a fat shortage, and it is needless to say that it means to win over.

Secondly, promote Zhu Huan, the chief of Yuyao, to be the captain of Dangkou, let him operate in Wu County and Huiji, and integrate the soldiers who were scattered due to the chaos in Shanyue.

Counting the beginning of Sun Quan's succession, he appointed Gu Yong, the commander of Huiji County.

Jiangdong Gu, Lu, Zhu, and Zhang are the four wealthy families, and Sun Quan gave the sincerity of the Sun family to the three families.

As a result, the Jiangdong scholars reciprocated the favor, and the rumors of the reckless military force during the expedition to Jiangxia suddenly disappeared very strangely, and Jiangdong got immediate peace.

Just as Sun Quan's balancing technique became smoother and smoother, rumors suddenly spread from the residence of his wife Xu.
