Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2372 Under Desire
It's easier to do something you love.

Is it wrong to like one thing?
In the same way, is it wrong to not like something?
That's what Sun Quan thought. Is there something wrong with that?
Everyone has their own desires, things they like, things they want, but not all those things under their desires can be placed on the table openly...

More often than not, it's like the immediate situation.

Under the table, there are a bunch of lowered heads and raised buttocks.

Sun Quan felt that what he was facing was not individual people, but piles of graves.

The black crown stood in front of the black round rump, like a tombstone in front of a grave.

Under these graves, buried, or about to be buried, is the flesh and soul of the Sun family.

Although Sun Quan was sitting in a high position, he felt that he was surrounded by these "graves", and then he would be dragged into the darkness and buried until he could not see the light of day.

Noisy voices come and go...

"My lord, think twice! 』

"Your Majesty, please do not! 』

"My lord, please take it back!" 』

"My lord's actions are tantamount to harming Jiangdong by wasting people and wealth!" 』

"..."

Either old, or low, or sharp voices sounded, chaotic, overlapping, like waves, slapping on the steps in front of Sun Quan, hitting the table in front of Sun Quan.

Sun Quan touched the table.On the table case, black lacquer is used as the base, and red lacquer is used as the pattern, outlining a seal script of "Sun".

The lines are like blood.

It took three generations of the Sun family to engrave the word "Sun" in Jiangdong.

Sun Jian risked his life in the early years and changed to Changsha prefect, but at that time, Changsha was located in a remote area, full of powerful people, and the mountains were rampant. Sun Quan has no way to completely control Changsha County, and there are still some counties that are only attached in name.

The county town of iron, the banner of flowing water.

In the era of Sun Ce, it was even more difficult.

The Eastern Han Dynasty was an era of guarding the family. The Sun family came from a poor family, and in the eyes of these powerful gentry, they were the untouchables in the countryside. So when Sun Ce smiled and passed cigarettes to these powerful people, these powerful people directly gave Sun Ce a big mouth. The tempered Sun Ce raised his knife and dropped it, and many heads fell to the ground.

This is Sun Ce's attitude, if you hit me in the face, I will kill you.

Sun Ce took control of Jiangdong by force, the butcher's knife was lit, and the heads were rolling, and the family was wiped out!

Sun Ce was happy.

The Jiangdong gentry were unhappy, but because of Sun Ce's power, these tyrants temporarily bowed their heads, but their petty actions would not stop.

Sun Ce was subsequently assassinated.

As soon as the eldest of the Sun family died, the foundation of the Sun family was shaken immediately, and it was in jeopardy.

And this was the situation Sun Quan faced at that time.

The Jiangdong he took over is not a piece of wealth, but a huge hot potato, and this potato has a mouth full of fangs, if you are not careful, your hand will be bitten off, the meat will be swallowed, and you will die.

Zhou Yu, Zhang Zhao, Madam Wu, etc. saw the huge risks involved, and everyone was extremely nervous. They didn't even have time to make any trade-offs and considerations, and they didn't have time to deliberate and screen slowly. They could only push Sun Quan immediately. Up the steps, before the throne.

For a huge crater, there must always be a butt to go down.

As for what happened to Sun Quan's chrysanthemum, or an accident, not many people cared.

It didn't even leave Sun Quan much time to cry and mourn, or to think about whether his own chrysanthemum was up to the task.

In all fairness, when he ascended the throne as the king of a country, if he really had any dazzling achievements and strong confidence, then when he ascended to the position, there must be a historian who was responsible for advocating it, but unfortunately, when Sun Quan crouched on the crater , There is nothing worth writing about, Chen Shoudu can only write a paragraph dryly, just saying that before Sun Quan, he became a county magistrate, and then he was promoted as a talented person and participated in a battle.

And then gone.

What outstanding governance work did the county magistrate do during his time?What is Ju Maocai's talent?Is there any special attack in the battle?Obviously, none, or not worth mentioning at all.

Before his death, Sun Ce told Sun Quan, "Appoint the virtuous and appoint their abilities, and each do his best to protect Jiangdong. I am not as good as you..."

What does this sentence mean?

It sounds like Sun Ce's admiration for Sun Quan, but in fact, it is not.At the last moment of his life, Sun Ce put some oil and powder on Sun Quan's body, enlightened him, and told everyone that Sun Quan still has some skills, not a bastard or a fool, not randomly selected by the Sun family to fool everyone. Sun Ce was secretly comforting Sun Quan, take it easy, the big deal is "to protect Jiangdong", and there is no need for too much pressure.

Brother, I know how much weight you have, so don't worry about the hatred of the Sun family, forget it, if you can keep the Sun family's foundation, you are capable...

After Sun Ce finished speaking, he died.

Sun Quan, who had just ascended the throne, stared and could only compromise.

Even if Sun Quan doesn't like to do this, it can only be so.

Seek to live first, and then talk about other things.

Sun Quan adopted a different policy from Sun Ce. He reconciled with the powerful gentry, gave a large number of official positions to their children, and adopted a policy that was quite beneficial to the family, that is, the hereditary leader system and the land occupation system. The former allowed private armed forces to be legal Inheritance, the latter directly exempted the rich peasants from corvee and taxes.

The Jiangdong gentry celebrated with their crowns, and they all worshiped at Sun Quan's feet, shouting that the lord is wise!

These two policies have brought huge benefits to the Sun regime in the early stage. The powerful gentry actively participated in the construction of Jiangdong, and they contributed money and power. Jiangdong immediately recovered from the chaos and flourished.

Just like when Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was in the early days of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, there were beacons everywhere in China, and emergency documents from all over the country flew like snowflakes, almost submerging the Chongde Hall, and the Yellow Turban soldiers were about to sweep the country. Emperor Ling announced the lifting of the party ban, and scholars could be officials again. It didn't take long before the yellow scarves were broken, 300,000 beheaded, the rivers were blocked, and the city was filled with Jingguan. Even the dead Zhang Jiao could be pulled out of the coffin and beheaded again .

Similarly, with money, people, and food, Sun Quan seems to have upgraded directly from a dog to LV999, paralyzed and slaying dragons, and covered in magical costumes.

Gone are the rebellions of the past.

Shanyue, who was looting everywhere before, is no longer scary.

The rich and powerful households of the gentry and aristocratic families became brave all of a sudden. They went to battle together, and they often plundered hundreds of people and thousands of people from Shanyue.

The crusade against Shanyue brought a large number of people to Jiangdong, and also brought the most direct increase in power to Sun Quan. There were people in the fields, and the strength of the troops gradually increased.

But obviously, this policy is tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst, because while Sun Quan is increasing his strength, the powerful households of the Jiangdong gentry are also increasing, and they have increased even more than Sun Quan!
The longer the time, the more powerful families occupy more positions, and finally the voices of these powerful families are the only ones who speak in the hall, and all interests will only be directed in the direction that is beneficial to them.Going down this path, the final result must be that Sun Quan, just like the Han Lingdi, was emptied, died aggrieved, and finally attached a "spirit" character.

"Sun Lingquan"?
Sun Quan gritted his teeth.He didn't like the result, nor was he willing to accept it.

Laozi can only be the emperor in the future!
Emperor Sun!
In addition to the above reasons, there is another more obscure factor.When a very outstanding talent appears in a family, it is tantamount to a "disaster" for the same generation and minors in the family.

And such a "disaster", Sun Quan has two eggs, double yolks, double happiness.

So Sun Quan wanted to prove himself.

Longing, hoping that I will not be the foil of "Double Egg Yolk", no longer a gift from someone, but have my own surname, my first name, and my own brand name!
So Sun Quan is going to go to war, "the Royal Conquest"!
Then, as soon as Sun Quan spoke out about this decision, a group of Jiangdong ministers almost had a group leakage incident.

Bravery is something that runs in the blood of the Sun family, Sun Jian is, Sun Ce is, and even the youngest Sun Yi is deeply inferior to Sun Ce.

Sun Quan even envied Sun Yi sometimes, because Sun Yi could unscrupulously show off his martial prowess, while he could only wear dark clothes to wrap his restless heart tightly.

After wrapping it up for a long time, I even felt that my heart had been distorted. When I saw such bulging graves, I wanted to beat them so hard that the chrysanthemums flew all over the sky!

Sun Quan took a deep breath, then endured three breaths, and then slowly said: "Now there is Zang Xuangao on Mount Tai as the internal response, and Qingzhou is about to fall, why do the lords stop Yu?" 』

After a long period of communication, coupled with Zhu Zhi's approaching step by step, Zang Ba finally expressed his willingness to surrender to Sun Quan. .

Zhang Zhao said in a deep voice, "Master, who is Zang Xuangao?"One or two letters alone may not be enough to believe it.In the past, Zang Xuangao's father commanded him to be a county jailer. He didn't follow the eunuch's order, and was hated by the eunuch. He took over the Jiefu. Zang Xuangao snatched dozens of guests from the mountains and died in the East Sea... Such people have no kings, and they also Without the law of the king, he is a desperado!How can it be trusted? 』

Sun Quan waved his hand, "I know what Zhang Gong said.It is true that Zang Xuangao died, but there is also one thing... In the past, Yanzhou rebelled, and both Xi and Hui rebelled.After Yanzhou was settled, the two fled to Zang Xuangao.Bandit Cao ordered Zang Xuangao to send the two heads, but Xuangao refused...』

Sun Quan looked around and seemed to be speaking to Zhang Zhao, but also to other people, "Zang Xuangao said that he was established because he did not seek glory for the sake of getting out. Although the Cao thief will be spared the crime of Xi and Hui However, it was Cao thief who wanted to compete with Yuan Benchu, so he had to tolerate it.Now that Yuan Benchu ​​has fallen, how can Zang Xuan be tolerated again? 』

"Now the Cao thief wants to invade and cut Zang Xuangao, and wants to take his son as a hostage and release his military power..."

Sun Quan smiled, "Exactly so, we have a good opportunity!"Zang Xuangao sent people to go around the sea and cast them here, hoping to conspire with Jiangdong for a great cause...』

"Everyone!But why worry? 』

The crowd was silent.

What Sun Quan said is indeed the truth, and the inference is also reasonable.

The reason why Cao Cao allowed Zang Ba to keep occupying Mount Tai was not because Cao Cao admired Zang Ba so much, but because he had never been able to reach under Zang Ba's belly.

At the very beginning, Cao Cao was not strong enough, so for Zang Ba, who was only willing to defend the soil and was not too threatening, he would not be the first target. Instead, Tao Qian and Yuan Shu, who were more threatening, were dealt with first, and then there was no After a while, he met Yuan Shao head-on again, and after defeating Yuan Shao, he confronted General Hussars again. It can be said that Cao Cao had no time or space to deal with Zang Ba for a long time.

After the Battle of Jingzhou, as the relationship between Fei Qian and Cao Cao eased to a certain extent, when the external threat eased, internal conflicts naturally became prominent...

You know, under the rule of Cao Cao, there were not many generals with foreign surnames who had long-term military command and local governance power. In history, Zhang Babai was famous because of Sun Shiwan's meritorious service, and Cao Cao was behind his back. Because of the oppression in Li, Zhang Babai deliberately sent a partner who didn't get along with each other to monitor each other, which also proved how serious Cao Cao's suspicion was.

The most interesting thing is that the hussar general Feiqian attacked the local powerful family in Guanzhong...

And it worked!

This is fatal.

At present, whether it is Cao Cao or Sun Quan, they are actually deeply troubled by local tyrants and big gentry.Especially Sun Quan, for Sun Quan, the Jiangdong gentry is the shackles that have been worn on his head all the time, he is suffering almost every second, and he wants to break it in his dreams!

Sun Quan had been holding back, looking forward and backward, and hesitating all the time, didn't he just think that if he did something, it might lead to some bad consequences?
And now, someone has succeeded.

If Yuan Benchu ​​in the past was a role model for the world, then Fei Ziyuan is now a model for the world!

So Cao Cao is now thinking about Zang Ba, isn't it a normal thing?

Then Sun Quan...

"Get the map! ’ Sun Quan shouted loudly, his spirits flying high.

On the map, based on the changes in the previous period of battle, the comparison of forces between Sun Quan and Cao Cao and the general arrangement have been outlined.

Sun Quan stood in front of the map, stretched out his hand and pointed at it, "Now Cao Jun in Jingzhou is using Jiangling as a bait, and wants to decide Jiangbei. The governor will not leave for a day, and Cao Jun in Jingzhou will not dare to move rashly for a day!" 』

"On the middle road, Huang Gongfu approached Cao Jun's new city, and Cao Jun didn't dare to leave..."

"Eastern Road..." When Sun Quan said this road, he paused for a moment, and clicked on the map, "Zhu Junli..."

To be honest, Sun Quan was not satisfied with Zhu Zhi's progress, very dissatisfied.

Contained by Zhou Yu and others' feint attack, Zhu Zhi's progress on the East Road was not ideal, and it could even be said to be very slow. After Xuzhou fought for a long time, he only hit the vicinity of Guangling, and he hadn't even captured Xiapi. that is……

It's hard to say.

Sun Quan took a breath, and then put on a smile, now is not the time to settle accounts with Zhu Zhi, "Zhu Junli is on the east road, and he will fight steadily... Fang has a great opportunity..."

"Tarzan!Zang Xuangao! 』

"There are soldiers, there is food, you can attack when you advance, and you can defend when you retreat!" 』

"What's more, if Mount Tai falls, the inside and the outside will cooperate, and Xuzhou can be settled!"In this way, we can continue to advance along the river and go straight to Yanzhou Yuzhou!Shake Cao thief's foundation, disturb the foundation, and the Central Plains will definitely shake! 』

"At that time, the Cao bandits will cut off all communication between the north and the south, and we will not be able to take care of both the east and the west. With the three roads advancing together, the land of the Central Plains will be in our hands!" 』

"Rescue the emperor from the hands of thieves!Helping the community at this moment! 』

"Everyone! 』

"At that time, you will have the meritorious service of eliminating the traitors, and you will be the good ministers of the great man!"This battle, this achievement, can determine the foundation of the world!The Legend of the Thousand Years! 』

"At such a critical moment, if someone can't come to the front line in person, if this Zang Xuangao has made up his mind, will it be possible to exchange letters and send them thousands of miles away?"Wouldn't it be a pity if Zang Xuangao's mission failed due to the delay of the war opportunity? ! 』

Sun Quan said a lot in one breath, and looked around slowly, "Or... you are all great sages... If you want to come to Xuzhou on behalf of someone, you may wish to recommend yourself..."

A huge pig's heart was thrown on the table with a bang.

Zhang Zhao was silent.Because Zhang Zhao himself is from Xuzhou, if Sun Quan can really win Xuzhou, Zhang Zhao will definitely get very good benefits, so I persuaded him before, it is also because of the friendship with the Jiangdong gentry, It is obviously impossible for Zhang Zhao to risk his life to stop it...

Zhang Zhao is like this, so is Zhang Hong.

Who doesn't want to return home after old age, even if it doesn't help the soul to return to the hometown.Therefore, when Sun Quan really showed some hope of acquiring Xuzhou, the alliance of interests between the Zhang family and the Jiangdong gentry broke down.

Sun Quan set his sights on Gu Yong.

Most of the Jiangdong nobles are headed by Wu Jun, and among Wu Jun, the four surnames "Gu, Lu, Zhu, and Zhang" are the most important.Strictly speaking, Zhu Zhi is not from Wujun, but from Danyang, but he has been the prefect of Wujun for a long time, so he has become one of them.But the real Zhu Huan from Wu County was originally from a poor family, his family was not obvious, and he mixed with Sun Quan. At the same time, Sun Quan also had a faint intention to let Zhu Huan replace Zhu Zhi's position.

Zhang Yun is older, and tends to be academic, and his ability is average.Among the four surnames in Wu County, he is the oldest, but has the lowest position, and that's why.At the same time, Zhang Yun's name is very watery. Simply put, it is a hot search bought with money, and it is pushed up abruptly. Don't look like a million-dollar V. The fans are actually zombie fans, and they like to cough Elixir, so...

As for the Lu family, they have suffered serious setbacks before, and they are not yet recovering. Therefore, Lu Xun is basically acting like a tortoise. He neither proposes nor opposes anything. It is a process of silently accumulating and recovering strength. middle.

So now if Gu Yong nods his head, the matter will basically be considered a success.

Gu Yong raised his eyes slightly, looked at Sun Quan for a moment, then lowered his eyes, "My lord, if you really follow this theory, it will be wonderful...But there is one thing that Yong can't understand..."

Sun Quan said, "Speak up!" 』

Gu Yong said in a gentle voice, "If... Zang Xuangao feigned surrender... so what? 』
