Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 465 Clown Lu Meng
Sun Quan looked at Hu Ke meaningfully, even Wei Wei couldn't solve the trouble in front of him, what could this new son-in-law of the Zhang family do?
"There is a young guard in my mansion, he has been well-trained for many years and he is very obedient, and he is relatively harmonious with the rest of the guards, but recently the head guard resigned due to illness.

I had planned to promote him to be the head of the guard, but the appointment has not yet been announced, and the people below have already regarded him as the commander, so I am very hesitant to promote him now. "Sun Quan used an analogy.

Hu Ke is such a smart person, he immediately understood that Sun Quan was referring to Lu Meng. After all, Lu Su's funeral was a big one, but he had to make Sun Quan feel that he hadn't guessed it.

"My lord, are you talking about the tiger under your car? I'm not used to gossip behind others' backs, but I still want to share my opinion about my lord." Hu Ke replied.

Sun Quan saw that Hu Ke seemed to have a solution, so he became a little interested: "Is there any good solution for Zecheng?"

"Listening to the lord's narration just now, I think you still trust this guard. It is the best choice for him to be the chief guard, but you are just worried that he will take credit for his pride and form a party?" Hu Ke asked tentatively.

Sun Quan nodded, "Exactly."

"In fact, it's very easy to do. Supporting another person will help him recognize himself, and he will know that everything about him is bestowed by the lord." Hu Ke suggested.

Sun Quan stroked his beard and shook his head: "Once Jinkou is opened, it is extremely difficult to change it. If the new supporter is not doing well, wouldn't it be a mistake?"

Hu Ke said with a smile: "The lord can choose a courtier with poor martial arts and good popularity. He knows that he can't do anything, and he must try his best to refuse. During the period of refusal, he can achieve the purpose of beating. In the end, the original person will be the head of the guard. This is how to deal with the prestige of the lord. It's coming up."

Sun Quan's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he praised excitedly: "Zecheng is worthy of being a businessman. Your mind is indeed very flexible. No wonder you can handle tasks with ease in the Zhang family."

Hu Ke scratched his head and smiled wryly: "People in the mall are unpredictable and intriguing. If you make a mistake, you will lose everything. It's better to follow the master to do things freely."

"Zecheng, you do a good job. How much I rely on you, I don't know if I will be awarded a marquis or a noble in the future." Sun Quan gave an affirmative expression.

"Thank you, my lord, Yu Xiu is willing to go through fire and water to repay your kindness." Hu Ke clasped his fists and knelt on one knee, speaking very touchingly.

"Zecheng doesn't have to be like this in the future, I know the loyalty of the king." Sun Quan lifted him up with both hands, thinking that he had regained the person in front of him.

Sun Quanyu's firm was in a good mood when he got the answer. After he went back, he thought about it and finally settled on the candidate.

After Lu Su was buried, Sun Quan convened a group of ministers in Jianye to discuss matters. Everyone knew that it was to announce the candidate for the governor, and all the civil and military personnel in Jiangdong guessed that it was Lu Meng.

The officials in the hall have different eyes, some envious, some contemptuous, blessed, and expectant.

In the beginning, Gu Yong, Zhuge Jin, etc. discussed the internal military affairs, such as the chaos in the mountains in the rear, and floods in the region.

The topic of discussion then gradually turned to the outside, talking about the defense of Jiang Xia and Ruxukou.

Veteran Han Dang proposed to appoint the governor as soon as possible, otherwise the morale of Jiang Xia and Lukou would be unstable.

"Who do you think can succeed Lu Zijing?" Sun Quan looked around the crowd, and finally fixed his gaze on Lu Meng's face.

Only Zhang Zhao in the hall knew what Sun Quan was thinking, so he wanted to see who would jump out first and make a fool of himself.

After waiting for a long time without any sound, General Pan Zhang came out to remonstrate, "General Ziming is very strategic, and he often fights with the lord. The final general thinks he is the best candidate."

When Pan Zhang took the lead, Ding Feng, Song Qian and other generals clasped their hands together, while Sun Quan looked at Lu Meng meaningfully.

Seeing this, Lu Meng politely replied: "The qualifications of the last general are still young, and I am afraid it will be difficult to take on this important task."

"Although Ziming (Lv Meng) is self-effacing, it also coincides with Zijing's last words. After a few more years of experience, he can entrust him with important responsibilities." At this time, Sun Quan raised Lu Su and suppressed Lu Meng with the comments of the previous leader.

Lu Meng was originally polite, but Sun Quan's words were like pouring ice water on his head.

The mixed feelings combined with those fiery eyes in the hall made Lu Meng ask three soul questions in his heart: Who am I?where am I?Where are you going?

Gu Yong was very surprised to see that Lu Meng was defeated. Could it be that the lord wants to use the local generals?So he went out of the class and asked, "Zhou Gongjin recommended Lu Zijing after he passed away. If Zijing left a last word, there must be a recommendation. I don't know who this person is?"

Sun Quan stroked his purple beard and said leisurely: "The person recommended by Zijing is Yan Mancai."

At this time, Yan Jian was working as a Zhonglang, and he was a literati and scholar of Jiangdong standard. At the beginning, Zhang Zhao recommended it to Sun. As soon as this remark came out, the hall was surprisingly quiet, but almost no one questioned Lu Su's last words, after all, the dead are the most important.

"Zijing has a good understanding of people. He must have a reason for recommending Mancai, and the old minister seconded it."

Yan Yan himself was still at a loss, Zhang Zhao was the first to jump out to go along with Sun Quan, he didn't cooperate and was afraid that the boss would directly order Zhang Cheng, and it was really hard to get off at that time.

"The minister also seconded the proposal." Zhuge Jin had a good relationship with Yan Yan, and both belonged to the Huaisi faction camp. Seeing that the "big brother taking the lead" had set the tone, he immediately stood up.

"Your minister seconded the proposal." Gu Yong, the representative of the Jiangdong gentry, also agreed. Although Sun Quan did not choose a local general in the end, it was better for Yan Yan, who was relatively close to the Jiangdong gentry, than those Huaisi faction warriors to be in power.

"My minister agrees."

With Gu Yong's joining, Jiangdong gentry stood up to support, which made the few Huaisi generals in the hall immediately confused.

"Mancai, it seems that you are favored by everyone, then you will take over as the governor, immediately go to Jiangxia to lead the army, defend Guan Yu in the west and fight against Cao Ren in the north, this burden is not too light." Sun Quan made a final decision.

"My lord, I." Yan Qian never thought that this would happen, why all of a sudden everyone was supporting him.

"This matter is settled like this. Let's leave first." Sun Quan waved his sleeves, turned and walked to the back hall.

All the people in the hall immediately gathered around Yan Jian, with kind smiles on their faces, clamoring that Yan Jian would celebrate with a feast of wine, while Lu Meng stood in the corner like a clown.

The governor thinks I'm not as good as Yan Mancai?Lu Meng didn't get out of his disappointment for a long time.

Sun Quan turned around and took a look when he left. The feeling of being in control of the whole situation went from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. He felt that what Yu Zecheng said was right at all. It is really amazing to establish such a thing as prestige.

What big governor, little governor?You are nothing without my lord empowerment.

Yan Yan had never led a soldier before, and he didn't know how Lu Su would take a fancy to him. Even if he belonged to the Huaisi faction, he was clearly a civil servant, let alone Lu Meng, even the well-dressed Lu Fan Can't compare.

After being puzzled, Yan Jian calmed down and gave a memorial to Sun Quan, saying that he had no military knowledge at all, and strongly suggested that Sun Quan choose another wise man.
