Sun Quan treated Lü Meng and Ling Tong very favorably, and they could only be used as surveillance when they stayed under Zhou Yu's command, and sent Zhou Shan to get close to Zhou Yu's attendants, intending to win over and corrupt the people around the other party.

Even so, Sun Quan was still not at ease.

Cheng Pu replaced Tai Shici at this time to garrison Haidu, and the main generals of Chaisang were obedient to Zhou Yu's words, and Sun Quan lacked a suitable general to check and balance, so he set his sights on the Sun family's own people.

Uncle Sun Qiang is in the family, Sun Fu was under house arrest for fornicating with Cao Cao, and Sun Ben was lost in the Battle of Yuzhang because of the fall of Nanchang last year.

Although the battle of Yuzhang was a disgrace, Sun Quan was happy to see Sun Ben weakened, and Sun Ben would be difficult to use Sun Quan in the future, and Sun Quan suspected that the person who gave Tai Shici false news was from Sun Ben's instructions.

Uncle Sun Jing's family, after Sun Wei's rebellion, the whole family returned to their hometown, Sun Jing left thousands of parts in Wu County, and behaved smart and well-behaved, but just leaving the parts and not handing them over to the family of the tribe, Sun Quan couldn't command those thousands of parts at all;

Just like on the eve of the Battle of Guandu, Guo Tu slandered Yuan Shaojin and authorized him to be depressed, and Yuan Shao then divided the frustration division into three, by Guo Tu, Chun Yuqiong, and Fu Zhu each canon and one army, how can the frustration department listen to the command of others? It's just that Yuan Shao did it for outsiders to see;

Sun Quan couldn't command Sun Jing's subordinates, and Sun Quan needed to provide supplies to stay in Wu County, and Sun Quan finally fell in love with Sun Jing's second son, Sun Yu, and he was handy in commanding his own subordinates;

Sending Sun Yu to Zhou Yu's side nominally assisted, but in fact it was Sun Quan's means to balance Zhou Yu.

put a few 'locks' on Zhou Yu, and Sun Quan felt comfortable all over his body, and he had an appetite for eating more than before.

is the so-called full of warmth and lust, Sun Quan was in a good mood and wanted to start practicing as a teacher, and he planned to find Zhang Zhao to protect him as a media, but the other party came to the door by himself.

After the two exchanged greetings, Sun Quan and Yan Yuese asked: "The weather is hot now, and Gong Zhang is not at home to enjoy the coolness, what should happen here?" ”

"Hmm"

Zhang Zhao sat down at the table and replied: "I just received news from the Central Plains, Cao Cao missed the fighter plane and did not cross the river in time because of Taishi Ziyi's attack, Yuan Shao has been fortified along the Yellow River at this time, and he should return to Xudu soon." ”

"Taishi Ziyi is only a few thousand, this Cao thief is so cautious this time" Sun Quan half-squinted his eyes and fell into deep thought.

Zhang Zhao explained: "Ziyi's dispatch of troops is only one aspect, maybe the Jiangxia war report has also been transmitted to the Yellow River, Cao Cao is afraid of our Jiangdong fleet, he is afraid that Zhang Liao will not be able to hold Shouchun." ”

"It's a pity"

Sun Quan shook his head bitterly: "Ziyi planned to send troops and waste my grain and grass in Jiangdong, and in the end it was to help Yuan Shao contain it."

Zhang Zhao comforted and said: "It's right to keep Yuan Shao, if he is destroyed like Gongsun Zhan, Cao Cao will inevitably lead his army south, and we probably can't stop it.

"Hmph, Jiangdong responded to Hebei several times, but I didn't see Yuan Shao raise troops to attack Cao, I don't know."

Halfway through Sun Quan's words, he suddenly frowned and asked in a low voice: "Gong Zhang, Taishi Ziyi has always been brave and strategic, and it took a lot of trouble for my brother to capture him, why did he easily fall for the trick this time, you said that he would not secretly communicate with the Yuan family?" ”

"Ahh Can't you? Zhang Zhao was directly stunned and muttered: "General Ziyi is loyal, although his hometown is in Qingzhou, he has been rooted in Jiangdong for many years."

Sun Quan asked: "Or is there someone from Yuan Shao in Jiangdong?" Otherwise, how to explain fake messages? ”

Zhang Zhao reminded: "If the lord has no empirical evidence, I suggest that you don't make a hasty judgment, so as not to make people panic, and we will finally stabilize the situation."

"I'm just talking."

Sun Quan bowed slightly, and sighed: "But there is one thing I can't figure out, then Yuan Benchu was the head of the princes, why was he defeated only twice to Cao Cao, why did he suddenly collapse?" Hebei's money and grain population is always more horizontal and vertical than Jiangdong, right? ”

Zhang Zhao nodded and agreed: "There is no doubt about the strength of Hebei, Cao Cao can't cope with it with all his strength, but I heard that Yuan Shao's health is deteriorating, so he has no intention of attacking Cao in the south." ”

"Since Yuan Shao has no intention of going south, why do you need to make an appointment with me to attack Cao? Isn't this taking advantage of our Koto? Taishi Ziyi is too careless. Sun Quan looked indignant.

Seeing this, Zhang Zhao asked cautiously: "Liyang is now short of garrisons, General Ziyi has asked for more troops several times, what do you mean, my lord."

"All the counties are busy quelling the rebellion now, how can there be more soldiers sent to Liyang?"

Although Sun Quan didn't say it on the surface, he had reservations about Tai Shici in his heart, so he said in a high-sounding voice: "You write a letter for me to comfort Ziyi, just say that the counterinsurgency soldiers and horses in various places are very nervous, Yigong is in Danyang at this time to conquer Shanyue, if Zhang Liaozhen leads the army to attack Liyang, I will let Han Yigong give up the counterinsurgency to save him." ”

"The old minister can save it, in addition"

Zhang Zhao stared at Sun Quan's words and asked, "If it weren't for Long Yunqi to rescue him this time, General Taishi would probably be broken by Zhang Liao, should we send an envoy to give gifts and thanks?" ”

"Thanks for what? Last year, he fought with Cao Cao in Huainan, and he refused to send troops under many excuses, but now he went to save Tai Shici, and I haven't sent anyone to question him."

Zhang Zhao interrupted Sun Quan to remind: "The old minister thinks that the question is over, if Long Xiang sends You Heng like he did against Liu Fu, who will the lord do?"

In fact, it is understandable to think about it, Cao Cao personally led the main force to Huainan last year, how could the defenders in Hefei dare to help? Once you fail, there is nothing, don't forget the temperament of Cao Thief, and Long Xiang has the second bridge"

"Seems to make sense."

Sun Quan bowed slightly, and when he saw Zhang Zhao mentioning the second bridge, he immediately thought of the step trainer, and said in his heart, what if you have the second bridge? It doesn't help you at all, and you have to be afraid of it for a long time, and I, as the lord of Jiangdong, have an inexhaustible supply of beauties.

Zhang Zhao continued to add: "If General Taishi is defeated by Zhang Liao, Long Xiang will have to face Cao's army alone in Huainan, which may be something that Long Xiang does not want to see, and Long Xiang and Zhang Liao are old acquaintances, and they may not be afraid of offending when they send troops to relieve the siege."

"Zhang Liao."

Sun Quan frowned: "I don't have a good impression of this person, and in addition, Long Xiang's relief of Ziyi's siege is too abnormal, is it possible that he is the one who makes the game and deliberately provokes a fight to make a profit?" ”

"Huh?"

Zhang Zhao was stunned by Sun Quan's whimsical thoughts, he swallowed his saliva and replied: "The old minister doesn't think as far as the lord, but everything has a result, there must be a reason, why did he risk offending Cao Cao to make a profit?" Unless he has some collusion with Yuan Shao;

It's not right, if Long Xiang helps Yuan Shao contain Cao Cao, there is no need to help General Taishi relieve the siege, after all, the more lively the Huainan battlefield is, the more beneficial it will be to Hebei. ”

"Haha, I just had a whim."

Sun Quan smiled and said: "Long Xiang doesn't have any big ambitions, he only plans to guard his wife and Hefei, and he shouldn't take risks for others." ”

Zhang Zhao's head should be reconciled: "The lord's words are reasonable, the level of origin determines the level of vision, Long Xiang was born in the first part of Qian, and he will never leave Hefei in this life." ”

"Let's not talk about Long Xiang, Zhang Gong came by chance today, I have something to ask you to help with"

Sun Quan and Zhang Zhao both thought that Long Xiang had no ambition, but they didn't know that Long's acting skills were too good, and the master he chose was also emerging.
