I am a sister-in-law in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 147 The world belongs to young people

After Sun Quan led his troops to conquer Jingzhou, although he was unable to expand his territory to the west, he at least suppressed Liu Biao's arrogance.

Liu Biao and his sons really didn't expect that if Sun Ce died, Jiangdong would be in chaos and he could take the opportunity to carve up the territory.

But the young Sun Quan was also very strong and brave. He led his troops, as well as the veterans from Jiangdong, Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Wu Jing, Xu Kun, etc., and they were very fierce.

There was also the man named Gan Ning who was taken over by Sun Ce from the Jingzhou navy, and he was also very fierce in fighting.Liu Biao didn't get any benefits this time. He stayed at home like a coward and didn't dare to fight Sun Quan again.

Sun Quan was not willing to fight either. He talked to Liu Biao with his fists, then immediately reorganized his troops and returned to Wu Commandery.

Sun Quan was afraid that the rear would be unstable.

He was aware of at least two disturbances.Sun Hao's rebellion in the third uncle's family has been decisively put to death by Zhang Zhao and his sister-in-law.

There is also his cousin Sun Fu who is watching in the dark, ready to rebel at any time.

When Sun Quan returned to Wu Commandery, it had been three to five months since Sun Gao's rebellion.

Wujun has regained some momentum.

Qiao Jingjing began to guide everyone in agriculture, building water canals, brewing wine, and raising silkworms.

Zhang Zhao and some scholars were studying shipbuilding.

Zhu Zhi and his people are reinforcing Wu Jun's city defense.

Overall, Sun Quan was very satisfied with the scene in Wu Commandery.

As soon as he returned home, in addition to convening Zhang Zhao, Lu Xun, Zhu Zhi and others to discuss matters, he also listened to his sister-in-law talk about farming and family affairs.

When Sun Quan was discussing important matters, he solemnly invited his sister-in-law, Zhang Zhao and others to discuss the matter together.

"Sister-in-law, there is no need to avoid it. We still want to hear my sister-in-law's opinion on what we are discussing."

Qiao Jingjing no longer pretended to refuse.

After all, she also had a very clear attitude on the matter of killing Sun Hao.If Qiao Jingjing chooses to avoid it when she has the opportunity to make the decision or offer opinions on such a major matter, then she may be pushed out by someone with ulterior motives to take the blame in the future.

It is better to assume the role of one of the decision-makers.

During the discussion, Sun Quan first affirmed Zhang Zhao, Zhu Zhi and his sister-in-law for their understanding and decisiveness in dealing with Sun Hao, and thanked them for guarding Wu County.

"Thank you, sister-in-law. If it hadn't been for your calm handling of the rebellion by your sister-in-law, Prefect Bu Zhu, Zhongmou would have had no place to stay when he came back. Zhongmou's mother, wife, son, daughter and sister would have become prisoners. Thank you, sister-in-law, and I urge you to listen to the plan. Pay homage!"

Sun Quan sincerely thanked Qiao Jingjing when he came, and he also intended to promote Qiao Jingjing to a very high level.

Because this is Mrs. Da Qiao, the widow of the late Wu Hou.

She is determined, tenacious and brave.

Establishing her image well, and with the protection and support of this image, Sun Quan can sit firmly in Jiangdong, which is only good for Sun Quan, not bad.

Qiao Jingjing quickly helped Sun Quan up.

"Get up quickly, you are the master, how can you bow to me? The incident happened suddenly, and Wujun's defense strength was suddenly put to a great test.

The mother was old and the family was old and weak. It was precisely because of this that Sun Hao came to attack.Fortunately, the matter was over, and Sun Hao did not cause any major losses.

Sun Jing knew that he was in the wrong, so he requested that Tongtong of the three families be demoted to common people. I beg you to spare his life! "

Sun Quan also wanted to discuss with everyone the disposal of Third Uncle's house.

"Everyone in the third uncle's house was demoted to common people. Privately, I thought it was too much. But the third uncle was taking a preemptive strike. He wanted to protect the lives of all the children in the third house, lest I come in first. Zibu and my sister-in-law thought, Did I agree with Third Uncle’s petition on this, or..."

Sun Quan didn't finish his words.

Zhang Zhao also thought about the depth of the matter.

Kill one to scare a hundred, kill a chicken to scare monkeys, these are all strategies.

But if you really meet someone like this who is not afraid of killing, you can't kill all his chickens.

Qiao Jingjing said: "Whether it is common people or nobles, they don't all have to live a good life. The mentality of this person determines whether he will be happy or not.

If they always think about the past, no matter whether they are rich or noble, and live in hatred, they will never see the light of day.

If their family can change their past and be positive, the future will not be hopeless. "

After discussing Sun Hao and Sun Jing, everyone took a sip of tea.

Zhang Zhao has already produced Sun Fu's thick pile of evidence and handed over all the correspondence between Sun Fu and Cao Cao to Sun Quan.

Sun Quan went back and forth, reading through a stack of letters.

Sun Quan's spine went cold.

Sun Quan was not angry, but laughed.

He looked at his sister-in-law, this was the most instinctive look a person would show in front of someone he trusted.

"Sister-in-law, is it really so difficult for Zhongmou to take on such a big job?"

Qiao Jingjing looked at Sun Quan's expression.

If Sun Hao's direct rebellion after Sun Ce's death was a stab in Sun Quan's back, the collusion between his cousin Sun Fu and Cao Cao was another stab in Sun Quan's chest.

"In those days, my eldest brother always told me and my third brother to go into battle and kill the enemy's brothers! Sister-in-law, you may not know it during our years, but Zibu knows best. Whether it is Sun Hao, Sun Ben or Sun Fu, our room has never I've treated them badly.

After winning the battle, the eldest brother rewarded them with spoils of war and the opportunity to be promoted to a noble position. The eldest brother, me and the third brother received the least.

And these are not enough.

As soon as the eldest brother died, they thought about dividing up everything he left behind? "

Sun Quan spread his hands and pointed at the current mess in Jiangdong.

Sun Quan was almost forced to cry.

"Sister-in-law, Zibu, if there is only one Sun Hao, kill him.

Even my cousin Sun Fu, who has connections in Jiangdong and is highly respected, serves as the governor of Luling, and has troops stationed in Jiaozhou. With such a powerful force, he wants to rebel against me.

Is it really difficult for my sister-in-law, Zibu, and Zhongmou to take on this important responsibility?Did he really live up to his trust? "

Sun Quan was so broken.

Zhang Zhao still blamed himself a little. Was it too hurtful to find out this pile of letters?He should ease up and leave it to Sun Quan.

He didn't expect that the young man's mental quality was so bad.

Qiao Jingjing said:
"What does it mean that it's hard for you to take on a big position? How old are you? How old is Cao Cao? How old is Sun Bi, how old is Sun Fu? In this world, it's not about being older than someone else, or eating more salt than someone else!

Zhongmou, this world belongs to young people. It is an era when the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead and beat them to death on the beach.The more they bully you for being young, the more you have to make achievements to show them!
Of course, Sun Fu's matter must be resolved properly, and he must be killed as a warning to others, and Cao Cao must also see your determination to rectify Jiangdong. "

With the encouragement and guidance of his sister-in-law, Sun Quan regained his confidence.

Sun Quan nodded fiercely and said to Zhang Zhao:
"Zhang Changshi immediately sent an official document to the Luling Prefect, asking Sun Fu to return to Wu County to discuss important matters.

Zibu Ke told him clearly in the letter that because of Sun Hao's rebellion, I, Sun Quan, wanted to ask him to return to Wu County to preside over important affairs. "

Sun Quan believed that as long as he offered the bait of taking charge of important affairs in Wu County, Sun Fu would definitely come.

As long as Sun Fu comes back, he will be dismissed on the spot.Qiao Jingjing believes that Sun Quan can do a good job in solving Sun Fu's matter.

Sun Quan's previous depression and sadness were just because he was betrayed by someone close to him.

What defeats a person is not necessarily external force, but the most terrifying thing is the collapse of the heart.

Who is Sun Quan?He was the future Emperor of Soochow. How could he stop because of a moment of sadness or decadence?
Qiao Jingjing discussed another matter with Sun Quan:

"In the past, when your eldest brother was here, he always talked to me about the geography and climate of Wu County in the Jingkou Moling area of ​​Taihu Lake. Wu County is located in the southeast, and it is actually difficult to compete with Cao Cao's Jingzhou."

When Qiao Jingjing said this, she looked at Zhang Zhao and Zhu Zhi's reactions.

Zhang Zhao nodded, and Zhu Zhi also nodded.

Sun Quan asked everyone if they wanted to move the government to the west or north?

Qiao Jingjing said: "You, your eldest brother, Zibu and others have all been fighting abroad all year round. You know the geographical conditions better than I do."

Sun Quan said that he had long wanted to move the government to Beigu Mountain, Jingkou.

But because what we were talking about that day was building a palace for His Majesty the Emperor.

Sun Quan himself lived in the palace built for His Majesty the Emperor, which was somewhat criticized at the time.
Zhang Zhao said: "Since the general wants to move the capital, given our current situation, it is better to complete it as soon as possible.

Wu County is located in the southeast, and it is biased against the north and west, but it is actually very difficult. Moreover, Jingkou relies on the Yangtze River, and there are natural dangers along the Yangtze River.Zhou Gongjin happened to be training his navy here, and the defense force was quite sufficient. "

When it came to moving to Jingkou, Sun Quan also said that a very strong iron urn city must be built by then.

It would be best if the entire city wall was built with bricks and stones and then poured with molten iron to make it impregnable.

This is the lesson Sun Quan learned after his expedition.

This time, his sister-in-law Zhang Zhao, Zhu Zhi and others narrowly defeated Wu Jun and killed Sun Hao.

But as Sun Quan is the person in charge, he cannot put his hope in such things that are beyond his control.

He had to take advantage of the odds.

If the opponent is someone more durable than Sun Hao, or if the defenders are weaker, or if something unexpected happens...

Never allow the risk of being taken over by others.His mother, wife, sons, daughters, sister-in-law and elder brother's children are all here.

Sun Quan told Lu Xun to build an iron urn city, the strongest one.After the construction is completed, everyone will be moved to Jingkou.

Sun Quan asked people to build an iron city.

On the one hand, he continued to recruit talents.

Sun Quan wanted talents to engage in agriculture, academia, and urban construction under the leadership of Zhang Zhao and his sister-in-law, so that the people's economic level could continue to develop stably, and Jiangdong would continue to be the richest place in the country.

Even though Cao Cao's territory was large and his army was large, the people in the north were always poor due to wars.

Not to mention Jingzhou, which was beaten to pieces and many people had fled to Jiangdong one after another.

At that time, Sun Fu had returned to Wu County.

When Sun Fu first received the official document from Zhang Zhao, he thought it was because Zhang Zhao, an old man, had suddenly enlightened and found that Sun Quan, a young man, was not enough to assist him, so he came to call Sun Fu to take over.

Sun Fu came back happily, and Zhang Zhao warmly received him.

Sun Quan hosted a banquet in a serious manner.

between banquets.

Sun Quan asked Zhang Zhao to take out the pile of letters and let Sun Fu read them for himself.

Sun Fu looked at them one by one. Only after reading them did he realize that Sun Quan had already set his sights on him.

"You...you obviously don't have time to take care of yourself! You are so young, how do you know this? You are so young..."

Sun Fu's face was engraved with experience, trembling slightly.

Sun Quan just said calmly: "It turns out that the second cousin has always looked down on Zhongmou's youth! Yes, although Zhongmou is young, he also knows loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and justice!

Although I am young, I still know what my elder brother told me before he died: It is difficult for my father and brother to start a business in Jiangdong!I sleep long and hard at night, asking Zhou Yu about foreign affairs, and Zhang Zhao about domestic affairs.

For all matters big and small in Jiangdong, I fully rely on my two cousins, Zhu Zhi, the governor of Wu County, and my uncle, the governor of Danyang. I don't dare to take charge of my own affairs.

I have never used power for personal gain.

When I took over this seal from my eldest brother, I shouldered a huge burden.Even if my second cousin doesn't believe me, even if he doubts my ability, what can't be said openly and clearly between brothers, instead of colluding with outsiders to plot against me?How is this different from conspiracy and rebellion, and Sun Hao's behavior? "

After Sun Quan finished speaking, Sun Fu was ashamed.

Sun Fu stood where he was:
"My dealings with Cao Mengde are conclusive. I have nothing to say. It's up to you to do whatever you want!"

As soon as Sun Fu said these words, Sun Quan looked at the wine glass on the table, and in an instant he raised his head and looked at Zhang Zhao.

Zhang Zhao said: "Sun Fu, the prefect of Luling, colluded with Cao Cao in private, and his crime has been proven. He will be exiled to Jiaozhou and demoted to a commoner from now on. The officials around the prefect of Luling did not know how to dissuade him and encouraged the Lord to commit crimes. They should be punished for their crimes."

Sun Quan gave Sun Fu a chance of survival and asked him to go to Jiaozhou, a smoke-barred place, to endure hardships.

But the ministers around Sun Fu were not so lucky. Sun Quan killed them all.

Sun Quan's treatment of Sun Fu finally came to Fuyuan to report to his sister-in-law Qiao Jingjing.

Qiao Jingjing asked the maid to make the freshest tea for Sun Quan.

"I know you are worried about your nephews and nieces! You insist on coming to tell me these things, there is no need. Zhongmou, you are the coach of Jiangdong now, you have many things to do, so you don't need to be distracted by our family.

Come again, you can rest assured.Sister-in-law can also do things for you and provide you with logistical support. "

Sun Quan drank this refreshing green tea and felt it was much better than the tea he brought back to his sister-in-law last time.

Sun Quan said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, you are still very handy. What I brought back is embarrassing in front of my sister-in-law! Sister-in-law, you have good tea. Later, ask the maid to pack a pound for me. I will take it back to Gillian and Shi." Kazuya has learned a lot."

Sun Quan acted coquettishly.

In order to liven up the atmosphere.

Qiao Jingjing also really smiled: "Look at you! You are still like a child. They are all in charge of Jiangdong. Do you still need to say this? I have already sent someone to send your beloved Eleven away. Yes. And your Jiaojiao sister-in-law, how dare you treat them badly! To tell you the truth, the rest of the tea you drank today was given to them and is reserved for you."

Qiao Jingjing's words are also funny.

Sun Quan also laughed:
"Sister-in-law, you don't have to provoke me on purpose. I'm a man, why should I compete with them for a sip of tea?"

That is to say, we are fighting for tea.

When Sun Quan came back this time, he brought back a seven or eight-year-old girl.

The little girl has a red mole between her eyebrows.

Sun Quan brought the little girl to his sister-in-law Qiao Jingjing.

"Sister-in-law, you asked me to help you find someone before. I searched all over Lujiang City and couldn't find him. But on the way to Jingzhou, on the outskirts of Yuzhang City, I found this girl with a mole between her eyebrows.

When I asked her, she didn't know anything, but I heard that her accent and intonation were from Lujiang City. Sister-in-law, please listen, right? "
