In addition, the most important point is that Zhou Yu came forward to take charge of Jiangdong's military and political affairs at this moment, and he could use his many advantages to help Sun Quan quickly stabilize Jiangdong. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhou Yu was born in a high-ranking family in the Huaishui area, and has a deep relationship with many wealthy people in Jiangdong. In the process of stabilizing Jiangdong County, he adopted a completely different approach from Sun Ce. Sun Ce wielded a knife to kill, and Zhou Yu tried his best to appease.

Time has proved that Sun Ce was wrong, the situation in the three counties of Jiangdong is still unstable, and after he was seriously injured and unable to govern, he was on the verge of collapse.

Zhou Yu was in charge of the Jiangdong military and political affairs, and with what he had done in Yuzhang in recent years, he could completely gain the trust of the wealthy men of Jiangdong, and take this opportunity to improve the relationship between the Sun family and the wealthy men of Jiangdong, ease the contradictions between the two sides, and stabilize the situation in Jiangdong as soon as possible.

Zhou Yu stayed in Moling as a general of Jianwei Zhonglang, and shared Jiangdong affairs with Shi Zhangzhao, the head of the general's mansion.

There are too many problems in front of Zhou Yu at this moment. The first priority is to give Sun Quan a legal identity. If Sun Quan can't get the legal identity of being in charge of Jiangdong for a long time, something will inevitably happen to Jiangdong, and even the Sun family may fight hard.

After Sun Ce was seriously injured, Sun Jian and he obviously thought about this problem, so they rushed to Hebei in person.

When Sun Jian went north to crusade against Dong Zhuo, he had a good relationship with Li Yi. In this Central Plains War, the Jiangdong Army participated in the coalition army, so it was difficult to rebuild the old friendship with Li Yi in Hebei. In order to ensure the success of the peace negotiation, Sun Jian could only come forward in person.

The most important reason why Sun Ce wanted to switch to Hebei was to use Hebei's force to drag Cao Cao in Xuzhou in order to protect Jiangdong, but Zhou Yu, Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong and others thought that Sun Ce's method was a big trick.

Sun Ce's captive general, Zhou Yu's Jianwei Zhonglang general, and the Taishou of Jiangdong counties were all worshiped by the puppet son of heaven supported by Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, and Jiangdong has always respected this son of heaven. Once the course changes, it is very likely that Jiangdong will rebel one after another.

Now, in addition to Sun Jian and Sun Ce's father and son, including Sun Quan, they all believe that under the current circumstances, switching to Hebei and betraying the Son of Heaven of the Nanyang Imperial Court is tantamount to giving Cao Cao and Liu Biao an excuse to attack Jiangdong. This is a big mistake.

Zhou Yu immediately made a decision, and then sent a messenger to Nanyang to ask for an official position for Sun Quan.

"If the lord and Hebei negotiate peace, and the son of heaven of the Jicheng court also worships an official position, how about it?" Zhang Zhao asked.

"Just take it." Zhou Yu said indifferently, "Now that Jiangdong is in danger, stepping on two boats is the safest way." If Cao Cao and Liu Biao attack us, we will surrender to Hebei and ask Hebei to send troops to attack Xuzhou. If Hebei threatens the survival of Jiangdong, Cao Cao and Liu Biao will definitely negotiate peace with us, so we will help them fight Hebei, take the opportunity to consume the strength of Cao Cao and Liu Biao, and then look for opportunities to attack Jiangbei and Jingzhou to expand Jiangdong's strength. ”

Zhou Yu's suggestion was approved by everyone, but Zhou Yu's proposal on the localization of Jiangdong ministers was strongly opposed by Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, Qin Song and others.

In order to quickly stabilize, restore and develop the four counties of Jiangdong, Zhou Yu suggested that Sun Quan appease the wealthy men in Jiangdong and rely on the Jiangdong scholars to govern Jiangdong, which he believed was the simplest, quickest, and most effective way to solve the current crisis in Jiangdong.

Although Sun Ce has killed the rich men of Jiangdong in the past few years, some influential gate valve clans with the largest power and the most extensive foundation in Jiangdong have not been killed.

For example, the four great families of Wucheng in Wu County, Zhu, Lu, Gu, and Zhang. The Zhu family has Zhu Huan, the Lu family has Lu Ji, the Gu family has Gu Yong, and the Zhang family has Zhang Yun. These four great families are all in one city, and they are famous in Jiangdong. Huiji County also has four major families, Yu, Wei, Luo, and He. The Yu family has Yu Translation, the Wei family has Wei Teng, the Luo family has Luo Tong, and the He family has He Qi. At present, except for Zhu Huan, Yu Fu and Wei Teng, almost no one in these families has been established in the General's Mansion, which is obviously very detrimental to the stability and governance of Jiangdong.

At present, the ministers in the Jiangdong Prefecture mainly come from three places. One is the Liuyu scholars, such as Zhang Zhao from Pengcheng in Xuzhou, Zhang Hong from Guangling in Xuzhou, and Lu Fan from Runan, this kind of scholar has the most, and most of them occupy a prominent position in the Jiangdong Prefectures. One is the scholars in the Huaishui area, such as Zhou Yu in Shucheng and Lu Su in Linhuai, this kind of scholars are mainly concentrated under Zhou Yu, and there are not many in Sun Ce's mansion. The second is the local scholars in Jiangdong, and there are many scholars of this kind in the provinces at present, but they are mainly the Sun clan and relatives, and there are very few scholars like Yu Tuo, who were born in the Jiangdong gate lord family.

Zhou Yu's proposal touched the interests of the Liuyu scholars, and it was understandable that it was fiercely opposed.

Sun Quan didn't dare to make up his mind without authorization, so he went to consult Mrs. Sun.

Old Madam Sun supported Zhou Yu's proposal, and he said to Sun Quan: "Your brother repeatedly warned you before leaving, telling you to trust Gong Jin, why did you forget it in a blink of an eye? You go and invite Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong, and I'll talk to them. ”

………………

Just when Sun Quan, Zhou Yu, Zhang Zhao and others were trying their best to defend Jiangdong, a news suddenly came from Dantu that Sun Fu and Lu Su had returned, accompanied by Hebei pacification envoy, Cai Zhe, the imperial secretary of the Jicheng Imperial Court.

Sun Quan and the others were surprised and delighted, and hurriedly sent people to greet them.

That night, Mrs. Sun specially held a banquet in the inner mansion to entertain Cai Zhe.

Cai Zhe is Cai Yong's son, Cai Yong lived in Wu for 12 years in the early years, and Cai Zhe naturally followed during his period, so to speak, Cai Zhe grew up in Jiangnan. When he was young, he also had a lot of Jiangdong clans, and he was already in his teens at that time, and he already had memories of many things.

Everyone gathered together, reminisced about the past, and felt that things were wrong, and they were embarrassed.

Sun Quan, Zhou Yu and others accompanied the side with the gift of their sons and nephews, and frequently persuaded them to drink. Cai Zhe did not refuse, and gave a general introduction to the situation in Jicheng and the situation in the world after the Central Plains War, and his words revealed Hebei's determination to pacify Sheji and stabilize the Han Dynasty in two or three years.

The next day, the two sides immediately began consultations on the issue of bereavement.

Sun Quan, Zhou Yu, Zhang Zhao and others already roughly knew the meaning of Hebei from the mouths of Sun Fu and Lu Su, so when Cai Zhe said the three requirements of the Jicheng Imperial Court, Sun Quan and Zhou Yu, who had been prepared, immediately put forward a lot of reasons. The meaning is obvious, it is okay to be appeased, but he does not agree to send hostages to Jicheng and does not agree to pay taxes to Hebei. As for Hebei's demand that Jiangdong hand over its troops and counties in the future, it is even more out of reach, and it is completely unnecessary to make it a condition for Jiangdong to be appeased.

Seeing their resolute attitude, Cai Zhe had no choice but to give up his hand and say, "Since this is the case, then I will bring your opinions back." Wait for Jicheng to reply, and then I will go south to Jiangdong to announce the decree. ”

Zhou Yu and Sun Quan were dumbfounded.

If Cai Zhe brings back the conditions proposed by Jiang Dong now, and then waits for him to hear back, it will be delayed for at least four months. If the weather at sea is bad, I'm afraid it will be delayed for a longer time, and Koto has no time now. Cao Cao and Yuan Yao in Jiangbei will definitely move their troops south after confirming the news that Sun Ce is seriously injured and cannot serve as a director, and the situation in Jiangdong is extremely critical.

Zhou Yu knew that Cai Zhe was blackmailing Jiangdong, and he was extremely angry in his heart, he held back his anger and said respectfully: "We plan to let Mr. Zhang Hong return to Hebei with Cai Yushi." He can represent Koto ......"

"Don't do that." Cai Zhe unceremoniously interrupted Zhou Yu's words and said in a cold voice, "For the sake of Brother Wentai's face, I will tell the truth here today as a private person." Either you immediately accept the court's appeasement, or you immediately refuse, but don't send someone to Hebei. Who are you? What qualifications do you have to bargain with the Son of Heaven and the imperial court? It's okay for you to talk to me here, but who do you talk to in Hebei? Who wants to talk to you? Jiangdong is the territory of the Han Dynasty and the county of the imperial court, not your private property, do you say that if you don't give it, you won't give it? The reason why the Son of Heaven and the imperial court issued an order to appease Jiangdong is that they hope that you will see the situation in the world clearly, immediately submit to the imperial court, and assist the Son of Heaven to stabilize the world and revitalize the society as soon as possible, not to discuss with you the question of Jiangdong's ownership. ”

Sun Quan's anger surged up, and he snorted coldly.

Zhou Yu's sword eyebrows were upside down, and his handsome face turned red.

Zhang Zhao was expressionless and didn't say a word.

"Young people can be high-spirited, but don't be arrogant, don't think that you can do whatever you want with tens of thousands of troops. Young people can be ambitious in the world, but don't be arrogant, thinking that they can be kings and hegemons by grabbing a few palm-sized places in troubled times. Cai Zhe pursed his lips disdainfully, waved his hand and said, "Is the desert big?" Are Hu people ruthless? At that time, the imperial court raised an army of 200,000 to attack the north, swept through the desert, and was invincible, who could be the enemy? Is the Central Plains big? Is it ruthless to be rebellious? Today, the imperial court roars down with an army of 300,000, who can stop its sharpness? Aren't your tens of thousands of troops in Jiangdong also wiped out? ”

Cai Zhe patted the case table hard, pointed at Sun Quan and Zhou Yu and said, "What are you two staring at me?" Am I wrong? When I fought with my brother-in-law in Liaodong and the desert, neither of you had any hair. Sitting here today, and talking to me about talking to the Son of Heaven and the court about appeasement, don't you think you are very arrogant, shameless, and ignorant? What are the merits of the two of you, and what have you done for the Great Han? Find a random soldier in the Northern Xinjiang Army, and look at how many feats they have made in the past ten years? You can't catch up with the horses in your life. ”

Sun Quan's eyes widened with anger, and his face turned white with anger.

"You are also people who have read a lot of books, and you know all the truths, but I think you are not as good as farmers in the fields. The farmers all know that they have to be loyal to the big man and want to break their bones for the big man, what about you? What else is on your mind other than being a king and dominant? You want to be on an equal footing with the Son of Heaven and the court, who do you think you are? Cai Zhe pushed the case hard, turned over and stood up, "Think about it." If you want Jiangdong to be overturned immediately, and you want your nine clans to be punished, then you can send someone to Hebei and talk to the Son of Heaven face to face. ”

Cai Zhe glared at Sun Quan and Zhou Yu with disdain, then spat on the ground fiercely, and said disdainfully: "Phew...... Two idiots. ”

After speaking, Cai Zhe shook his hand and walked away.

Sun Quan was unwilling to be humiliated and scolded.

Zhou Yu, Zhang Zhao, and Zhang Hong looked at each other, worried.
