Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2258 Can the charges of hundreds of years still be used

Waiting can make people grow, it can also make people irritable, and it can even make people crazy.

Sun Quan is also waiting for success.In order to succeed, Sun Quan has paid a lot.If there is no effort, there will be no gain, and if there is no gain, there will naturally be no success. Sun Quan still knows this.

So now, Sun Quan is still ready to pay something...

If you want to send troops, it’s fine with small troops. Sun Quan still has some command power, but once it involves large-scale wars, especially such large-scale mobilization of tens of thousands of troops, Zhou Yu must never be avoided. Without Zhou Yu’s approval, Sun Quan The commands are not necessarily easy to use.So a very interesting situation appeared. The Jiangdong gentry were not afraid of Sun Quan's anger, but they were afraid of Zhou Yu's anger.

It's like the Battle of Chibi in history.

In the Battle of Chibi, when Jiangdong's monarchs and ministers were discussing whether to fight or surrender, this phenomenon was fully displayed.

When Zhou Yu didn't show up, there were two opinions in Jiangdong: surrender and resistance, and the main surrender was Zhang Zhao, another important minister of Sun Ce Tuogu.

Why did Zhang Zhao advocate surrender?
In addition to the reason Lu Su said, there is also a more hidden reason.

Zhang Zhao's attitude is actually the mainstream attitude of civil servants.

Not only the Three Kingdoms, not just Jiangdong, but similar figures can be seen in many dynasties...

Because they are civil servants, they must obey the generals when the military pressure is relatively high. Once they decide to go to war with Cao Cao, then all the resources in Jiangdong must be subordinated to the military needs, and the generals will have the right to speak. What grudges...

After all, not everyone is Lian Po and Lin Xiangru.How did you ride on the neck of the military general in the past, now you can't blame the general for cutting off the penis of civil servants...

In the historical Battle of Chibi, what made Sun Quan even more embarrassing was that even though Sun Quan had made up his mind to resist Cao, his decision was still not the final one, Zhou Yu's was.

After Zhou Yu came back, the civilian officials persuaded him to surrender, and the military generals led the battle.One can imagine how big the shadow area was in Sun Quan's heart who was sitting silently at the side at this time.Nominally, Sun Quan is the Lord of Jiangdong, but on such an important matter, his civil servants and generals have to let Zhou Yu make up his mind to make a decision...

This kind of mood cannot be expressed clearly in one or two sentences, but Sun Quan was still able to bear it, and even showed a sincere trust in Zhou Yu.

Sun Quan believes that to achieve great things, one must be able to wait and be patient.As for the face, after something is done, one will naturally have face, but if nothing is done, what use is there to be face?Just like now, if Sun Quan wants to take advantage of Gongsun Du's incident to invade the power of the Jiangdong gentry, he cannot do without Zhou Yu's support.

Zhou Yu was obviously unwilling to do such a thing.It's not that Zhou Yu has some ulterior deal with the Jiangdong gentry, but because this kind of battle is destined to fail, how could Zhou Yu be interested?

From Jiangdong to Liaodong, although there is only a difference of one word, the distance is indeed too far away. The news of Gongsun Du's attack spread to Jiangdong, and then waited for Sun Quan to gather his troops to go north to crusade. This time is not calculated in days. They are all calculated on a monthly basis, there is no cooperation at all, and there is no way to talk about cooperation.

Maybe Jiangdong sent troops, just crossed the river, and then Gongsundu failed. At this time, should we fight or retreat?

After all, this matter is different from the Battle of Chibi in history.Chibi was bullied to the door of the house, and if he didn't hit the house, it would be over, life and death.But if Gongsundu is not supported now, will Jiangdong be finished immediately?Obviously impossible.So although Zhou Yu knew why Sun Quan did this, he did not support it.

"Brother Gongjin..." Sun Quan smiled like a dog's tail flower, swaying in the air, "This is a new Liaodong ginseng, specially sent to Brother Gongjin for recuperation..."

Zhou Yu watched with neither sadness nor joy on his face, "Thank you, my lord. 』

"Come on, this is a battle armor purchased with a lot of money. It is made of refined steel. It can protect Brother Gongjin well on the battlefield..." Sun Quan sent another pair of armor, "There are ten other sets, more than This slightly worse one is also given to Brother Yu Gongjin! 』

A set of excellent armor, in terms of five baht, costs more than 5 million yuan. Even ordinary ones cost between 1 million and 2 million yuan. It can be said that the cost of these gifts that Sun Quan gave Zhou Yu at the moment , the value is already nearly 20 million dollars...

What is a big deal, Sun Mou is a big deal of 20 million!

Under the money offensive, the expression on Zhou Yu's face changed slightly, "My lord, why is this..." It's not that Zhou Yu lacks the money, but that what Sun Quan sent was really considering Zhou Yu's needs. From this point of view, it is not a small progress.

"Brother Gongjin is Jiangdong's humerus, is there anything wrong with it?" Sun Quan waved his hand and said, "A previous behavior was perverted and violated my brother's entrustment, and was reprimanded by Jiaci... This time I came here to apologize to Brother Gongjin..."

After Sun Quan finished speaking, he stood up unexpectedly, then walked into the hall, and paid respects to Zhou Yu, "Quan, there were so many rude things in the past, I still hope that Brother Gongjin is Haihan!" 』

Zhou Yu hurriedly left the table to avoid it, and then bowed before Sun Quan, saying, "Your Majesty, please don't do this, you are really disrespecting your subordinates!" 』For a while, Zhou Yu was really surprised, Tie Quan, who claimed that he would not turn back if he hit the south wall, and he might not turn back if he hit the south wall, actually knew how to turn today?

This……

Is it a good thing, or a bad thing?
The two sat down again.

Even Zhou Yu, who is so resourceful and resourceful, suddenly felt a little uncomfortable and couldn't react. After a while, he sighed, stepped back, and said, "My lord...why do you want to send troops to Xuzhou?" 』

Sun Quan coughed, and then said with emotion: "The Cao thief lived in Yecheng, but Jizhou was not stable, so he had to guard it, so there must be a emptiness in the Qingxu period. Moreover, Zang Ba and others in Taishan, although they served the Cao thief The leader, but each has its own guts. If we wait for the army to advance and then contact them, even if we can't make them surrender, we can also mess up the position and make them stick to it and not come out, so the green will be chaotic!At that time..."

Zhou Yu smiled slightly, and interrupted Sun Quan's eloquence, "My lord... My lord, please tell me the truth!" 』Is this the smell of Sun Quan? I was taken aback just now, thinking that there was a replacement...

Sun Quan coughed again, and smiled a little embarrassedly, "This...Jiangdong's finances are poor now. Although Xuzhou has fought a war before, Xiapi and other places are still rich... There is a new funeral for the Chen family in Xiapi, and a new official. When you take office, the place is unstable, even if you are invincible, you can still plunder people and transport them by boat...』

Zhou Yu stared at Sun Quan and raised his hand, "My lord!Please also tell the truth! 』

Sun Quan stared at Zhou Yu, and Zhou Yu also stared at Sun Quan.

"This..." Sun Quan was silent for a moment, and finally said, "Jiangdong nobles are hiding food and grass, hiding their population, and hoarding private soldiers!"This is a big problem in Jiangdong!If you don't get rid of it, Jiangdong will never be safe!Therefore, in this battle, it is of course a joy to win, but to lose is to damage the power of the big families in Jiangdong, so that... the country can be consolidated and not hindered by others! 』

After Sun Quan finished speaking, he looked at Zhou Yu firmly.

Zhou Yu closed his eyes slowly, opened them again after a while, and met Sun Quan's gaze, "If Jiangdong is damaged too much and the people's livelihood is unbearable, what should the lord do?" 』

"So I need brother Gongjin's help!"With Brother Gongjin in charge, you can be hurt but not killed..." Sun Quan said slowly, "A money-greedy generation can't blame others..."

Zhou Yu frowned, "My lord... Why did my lord make such a hasty move?"If the lord's mentality today can be eroded in five years and stabilized in ten years, then Jiangdong will be united as one, why can't it be overcome?How can the enemy be invincible? 』

Sun Quan took a long breath and sighed, "Brother Gongjin, why doesn't someone want to do this?"But time is ticking!Now the Fei thief lives in the northwest, with Guanzhong as the hub, the north and the south are dispatched, the east and the west are connected, and the benefits of merchants are spread all over the world!Jiangdong's accumulation in one year, nine out of ten are spent here!If things go on like this, Jiangdong toils day and night and is busy every night. Isn't it working for Fei thief?Make clothes for the Fei thief? ! 』

"Cao bandits live in Hebei and Henan, with a dense population and abundant farmland. Although they are weaker than Fei bandits at the moment, their heritage has not been lost, and their fields have not been damaged. Given time, they will be able to store food and troops, and win by spending money!"On the other hand, in Jiangdong, the land of Tianzhi Moling Jingkou, and the rest of the land, like Wu County, are all occupied by big families in Jiangdong!If you want money but no money, if you want food but no food, if you endure your anger for five years and give birth for ten years, what will happen?The world is owned by others, Jiangdong has no choice but to bow his head and admit defeat!Sun's foundation was wiped out! 』

Sun Quan left the table again and bowed, "Brother Gongjin!From my brother's point of view, it is to help my little brother! 』

Sun Quan finally carried Sun Ce out...

Zhou Yu sighed slowly, stepped forward to support Sun Quan, "Forget it...my lord...just this time..."

Sun Quan was overjoyed and bowed to the ground again.

Zhou Yu avoided it, and then pulled Sun Quan to sit down again, and said slowly: "My lord, there is no need to be like this... If Yu leads the army, the lord is in Jiangdong, do you care?" 』

Sun Quan nodded and said, "Yes!Brother Gongjin led the army out, so a certain person ordered Zixiu to search the surrounding area for corruption and usurpation by the children of big families, and investigate them strictly! 』Jiangdong is located in a remote place, so the farther the sky is from the emperor, the less he will take "overstepping" seriously. Those with double eaves, those with canopy umbrellas for travel, and those who build archways in violation of the regulations, will catch a lot of them.

Zhou Yu frowned slightly, "Arrogance... there's no need for it, it's hard to say... the crime of corruption, it's okay..."

Zhou Yu is thinking that the attack surface of usurping is still too large, and the initiators of these usurping are often not the lower-level gentry children, but the guys above, so once this crime is used, the point is too clear, and it will even cause unnecessary crimes. It is better to use corruption as the main breakthrough point, because basically those who can be corrupted are in relatively important positions, responsible for money or important affairs, and killing these people can also support a new group of people Go up and control important positions.

What's more, these days, as long as you are an official, if you really check it carefully, is that ass clean?Have you got something to eat and drink?Is there any use to move and steal?Have you turned a blind eye and granted some benefits to your family, concierge, and subordinates?If there is one out of ten with clean hands and feet, that is already a great thing!
Anyway, for this crime, from the Spring and Autumn Period to the Han Dynasty, for hundreds of years, anyone who wants to get involved, arrested, and directly accused of corruption, is basically right in nine out of ten!
Sun Quan also frowned, "Brother Gongjin...you won't die from this beating, but you will suffer from it..."

"Then don't hit too hard! Zhou Yu glanced at Sun Quan, "drive them away, attract them, use them, transform them...why beat them all to death?"The more impatient you are, the less you can achieve great things! 』

Hearing this, Sun Quan was silent for a long, long time.

For Sun Quan, he really hopes to succeed in one battle, and such a method is not available every time. If it is used this time, if the Jiangdong big family cannot be completely eradicated, then the next time it will be the Jiangdong big family. The backlash, or Jiangdong Dahu has learned to be smart and can't be fooled.

That's why Sun Quan didn't hesitate to lose face and beg Zhou Yu in a low voice, because only Zhou Yu is willing to cooperate, such a strategy can be successful...

However, Sun Quan did not expect that even if Zhou Yu agreed to cooperate, he would still not be far away to completely wipe out the big households in Jiangdong.

"My lord..." Zhou Yu said slowly, "Brother Bo Fu often talked about this matter when he was alive..."

"what?Brother...how did you say it? ’ Sun Quan asked.

Zhou Yu smiled, as if recalling some happy things, "Brother Bo Fu said... if things don't go your way, we'll kill them all!"If one person refuses to obey, one person will be killed, if a whole family refuses to obey, then the whole family will be slaughtered, if the whole world refuses to obey, then all the people in the world will be killed! 』

Sun Quan was overjoyed when he heard it, and almost applauded, "Brother is heroic! 』

"Yes, heroic..." Zhou Yu's expression became lonely again, "Heroically died..."

Sun Quan: "Uh..."

"For the superior, kill one person... Kill and kill, generally there is no serious problem..." Zhou Yu said slowly, "If you want to kill a family, it will be dangerous... If you want to kill all the people in the world, then... ...Will the people of the world still stretch their necks and wait? 』

"..." Sun Quan was speechless.Does this kind of thing need to be argued?Is there any point in arguing?
"What's more..." Zhou Yu raised his eyes and looked at Sun Quan, "How many people are there in the lord's pocket, so what's the use?"If the big households in Jiangdong are all black, they will plow in spring and plant in summer, harvest in autumn and store in winter, travel between north and south, and trade between east and west... Who can continue to do it?Who can resist the South Vietnamese barbarians?Under the master's actions, it is inevitable that there will be mistakes one after another. If one person escapes, encourages the members of the Sun clan, and raises the banner of justice, then the army will be outside, how can the master respond? 』

The excited expression on Sun Quan's face faded away, only exhaustion emerged, "In this way, a certain...has been thinking for a long time, planning for many days...it turned out to be..."

"Is there anything perfect in this world? "Zhou Yu smiled, "Today, I saw that my lord has a far-reaching plan. Although there are minor flaws, it is harmless, and it is enough to celebrate... However, the strategy should be appropriate according to the time and place, so I use a certain opinion...My lord wants to clean up the big family in Jiangdong. , then it is difficult, but if the family wants to decline, then it is easy...My lord, you can choose carefully...』

"Only "decay" it? Sun Quan looked at Zhou Yu and confirmed the words, "Isn't it "death"?" 』

Zhou Yu nodded.

Sun Quan was longing, looking at Zhou Yu as if longing for Naizi's temperature, hoping that Zhou Yu would show more.

Zhou Yu was unmoved. Anyway, there are above the head, which can be exposed, and nothing below the head.

Sun Quan finally bowed his head.

"In addition, Zhang Zibu is needed..." Zhou Yu added, "Ji Zixiu alone may not be able to achieve great things..." Zhou Yu's meaning is very straightforward. On the one hand, Ji Yan and others do not have enough reputation , there must be Zhang Zhao supporting the scene. On the other hand, it also shows that these people may not have clean hands and feet, and they will be criticized instead.

Sun Quan's eyes widened, and he sighed after a long time, "Forget it..."

"One more thing..." Zhou Yu raised a finger again.

Sun Quan almost jumped up, "What else? 』

Zhou Yu nodded and said, "My lord respects Yu as you do today, and respects Zhu Shi..."

Sun Quan was stunned, and after a while he went to look at Zhou Yu suspiciously, but when he saw Zhou Yu smiling slightly, he couldn't help showing a little embarrassing smile...

...(;￢￢￢)...

A few days later, Lu Xun, who was in charge of the job, had just entered the official residence and walked to the courtyard wall. He heard that some people seemed to be discussing something on the other side of the wall...

Several petty officials gathered in one place, talking while walking.

"It's terrible, it's really terrible... Zhu's hair is growing even more..."

"Isn't it?I heard that the lord paid a special visit, and even sent a whole five carts of gifts!Even the servants in the Zhu Mansion have gifts!That's right, even servants! 』

"Tsk tsk... My lord really treats Mrs. Zhu very kindly..."

"It is said that the lord will give Zhu Lingjun a form, and enter him as a township lord!" 』

"real or fake?Did you hear me right?What a country prince? ! 』

"Where is there a fake?It is said that the messengers have already set off, heading for Xudu! 』

"Ah, so, isn't it true that after a while, you will be called Master Zhu?" 』

『It’s been a while, you can call me now! 』

"Now?Don't tell me, I really want to go, but I'm afraid that there are too many people going to Zhu's mansion, I won't be able to squeeze in...』

"That's true. It is said that the concierges of the Zhu Mansion are now buying land and properties outside the city... It is better than you and me..."

"Hey, are you so envious?Then if you are asked to work as a concierge in Zhu's mansion, will you go? 』

"The concierge...don't go!At the very least, you have to fight in the mansion...」

"Hahaha...you think so beautifully..."

The chatting and laughing little officials gradually drifted away, while Lu Xun stopped in his tracks, showing some contemplative expressions.

After a long time, Lu Xun suddenly moved his eyebrows, and there was some panic in his eyes. He turned around and wanted to leave, but he stopped after taking two steps, frowned, thought for a while, then sighed, turned his head back and came back , slowly, step by step into the official residence, as if he hadn't heard anything just now...
