Chapter 603: Infighting Before the Storm

"Promote your strengths and avoid your weaknesses, my lord, the deputy governor of Lusu is indeed stronger than the governor of Zhou on the whole, and I ask the lord to make a careful choice." Gu Yong echoed.

Sun Quan inexplicably swelled up with anger in his chest, and his hand under the desk was clenched tightly, but his face was still indifferent, and he smiled: "What Zi Buyuan said with a sigh has some truth, but it doesn't seem to be so correct.

Zijing is indeed slightly better than the governor of Zhou in internal affairs, but Lone believes that to coordinate a state, the first thing to look at is not ability, but prestige.

Needless to say, the prestige of the Governor of Zhou is also above Zijing, if the Governor of Zhou is unwilling to take Jingzhou, it will be fine, but if the Governor of Zhou is willing to take Jingzhou, but Gu let Zijing take Jingzhou, Gongjin should not say anything, but the people under my command will inevitably have some complaints. ”

Sun Quan said and smiled happily: "Don't worry, I know Zijing, I know that he is an honest person, and he doesn't have any fame and fortune, even if he gives Jingzhou to Gongjin, he won't say anything." ”

"I'm afraid this may not be, my lord, this is a letter from Mr. Zijing." Zhang Zhao took out a letter and handed it to the soldier.

Sun Quan only glanced at the letter, and immediately couldn't wait to lift the coffee table in front of him, which turned out to be Lu Su's submission and asked for the temporary deterrence of Jingzhou pastor.

How can this be reasonable, a wave of anger was burning in Sun Quan's chest, Lu Su actually wrote to himself to get Jingzhou at the same time that Zhou Yu cut off Fazheng's food supply, Lu Su, who has always been honest, at least Lu Su, who looks very honest on the outside, why is it abnormal?

It couldn't be clearer, and it was clear that these civilian officials were afraid that Jingzhou would fall into the hands of the main battle faction. They can rest assured that it is in the hands of Lu Su. In their opinion. The world is divided into three points, and Jiangdong can keep it, which is already the best result, how can there ever be a world?

So in order to prevent Jingzhou from falling into the hands of Zhou Yu, Lu Su actually tore the veil of honesty, and the letter said that it was a request, and that it was only a temporary deterrent for three months, and it would be decided by Sun Quan in the future.

But cooperate with these civil officials to speak out. It's a naked threat.

That's not all, Lu Su's letter actually came to Zhang Zhao first, and let Zhang Zhao and the civil officials build momentum for Lu Su first, I'm afraid Lu Su also knew that this letter fell into his hands first, and he must have suppressed it temporarily.

was commanded by his own courtiers, and Sun Quan had a raging anger in his heart.

His Sun family and the Jiangdong family are in a relationship of mutual use, the Sun family uses the Jiangdong family to consolidate the Jiangdong foundation, and the Jiangdong family introduces the Sun family to rule Jiangdong and ensure their interests.

If the interests are aligned, such as defending Jiangdong. Then they are so united that they can't be united, but if their interests are not aligned. That is almost equivalent to hostility, but because Sun Quan wants to be jealous of the Shi clan, and the Shi clan cannot find a better agent, so he can't openly tear his face.

But Sun Quan is still so young, he was born with wisdom since he was a child, how can he sit in a corner, but now that Lu Su has taken the initiative to go to the book, what else can he say? If you say anything more, it will also look pale.

But Sun Quan has already made up his mind, this time he will not compromise, Sun Quan crumpled the letter, stood up and walked slowly to the hall, and suddenly laughed.

"Zijing is really worried about me, but it is not easy for my Jiangdong Army to take Jingzhou, and the place of Jingzhou's four battles, the north is also the Sichuan army, and the west is also the Sichuan army, which must be stabilized.

After Gu decided to take Jingzhou, he set Xiangyang as the accompanying capital, and Gu wanted to go to Xiangyang in person, so as to make the Jiangdong soldiers who resisted Huang Yueying more confident, and also show the importance that Jiangdong attaches to Jingzhou and appease the people. ”

"Wow" Sun Quan just said that there was a big uproar, and all the ministers never thought that Sun Quan would go to Jingzhou in person, with Zhang Hong's old scheming, of course, they knew that Sun Quan was not there to boost morale and appease the people.

And the biggest possibility is that Sun Quan is going to go to Lu Su's military power, and now Zhou Yu is also in Jingzhou, and the generals under his command are all the main battle faction, Sun Quan can let Lu Su surrender and arrest as soon as he gives the order.

Sun Quan's move was close to a showdown, Zhang Hong couldn't help it anymore, he personally came out of the ranks, and said slowly: "Lord, I'm afraid this move is inappropriate, setting up Xiangyang as the accompanying capital, it takes a lot of money, I only have six counties in Jiangdong, I am not rich, and there is not much grain and grass, Weichen feels that not only should not build a companion capital, the lord should not go to Jingzhou, and after resisting Huang Yueying, he should withdraw the soldiers and horses of the Zhou Governor to rest." ”

Sun Quan slowly clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "I haven't fought in Jiangdong for several years, and I have abundant grain and grass, how can I be insufficient?" I'm afraid I'm wrong about Zigang's statement, right? ”

"Yes, there are only 100,000 stones left in the treasury of grain and grass, and it is difficult to support it for three months."

Sun Quan's anger had obviously overflowed, but Zhang Hong had no intention of flinching, and his tone was flat.

"Nonsense, my Jiangdong's grain and grass ......"

Suddenly, Sun Quan stopped talking, Zhang Hong was right, there is really not much grain and grass in Jiangdong, and there are really only 100,000 stones in the treasury, because Jiangdong has always "hidden wealth from the people".

This is the policy of thin taxation and supporting the people that Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong have always advocated, in fact, only the family is allowed to collect taxes, and less taxes are paid to the government treasury.

The so-called thin tax to support the people is to raise the brains of these clans full of fat.

Although Sun Quan cared about it before, he didn't do anything, because he knew that the Sun family and the Jiangdong clan were a use relationship, and the clan wanted to use the Sun family to divide one side and develop and grow, so hoarding food was a matter of course.

The family can't be rich, why should they support your grandson?

But Sun Quan only now found out that his lifeline has always been in the hands of the Shi clan, if the Shi clan supports, the Jiangdong Army will have no problem fighting for a few more years, if the Shi clan does not support it, what can he Sun Quan do?

But Sun Quan knew more clearly at this time that the current opportunity was hard to find, if he compromised with the world again this time, he would not be able to establish a great cause in his life, at least if he did not compromise now, the price paid would be the smallest.

"For the sake of my Jiangdong plan, Xiangyang must be designated as the accompanying capital, and from this spring, an additional fifty percent of the tax will be levied."

After Sun Quan finished speaking, the Jiangdong civil official's heart suddenly jumped, and even Zhang Hong flashed a look of surprise, but he didn't expect Sun Quan to really dare to have a showdown with them.

But Zhang Hong immediately knew that now was indeed the best time for Sun Quan's showdown, most of the military power was in the hands of the main battle faction, even if the clan rebelled immediately, Sun Quan could take advantage of Liu Zhang's lack of food and grass and Cao Cao's defeat to integrate the interior.

The Sun family has a high prestige in Jiangdong, and Zhou Yu, although the direct conflict with the clan will make Jiangdong hurt, but it may not be impossible to calm down.

What's more, the clan didn't dare to really rebel at all, at most it was just a matter of disobedience.

But if you want Zhang Hong to compromise, it is absolutely impossible, you have to speak, but before he can say it, Sun Quan clapped his hands, and a team of soldiers poured into the hall, and all the civil and military forces were shocked again.

Sun Quan said coldly: "This is the escort selected by Ben Hou to accompany Ben Hou to Xiangyang, my strongest infantry army in Jiangdong, Long Feiwei, Zigang, Zibu, Yuan Si, what do you think?" ”

Long Feiwei has a total of 2,000 people, is Sun Quan's escort team, and is also the strongest elite in Jiangdong, mainly composed of Danyang elite soldiers, and their combat power is not inferior to Cao Cao's tiger guards.

Sun Quan's words were cold, there was no room for negotiation at all, Zhang Hong and the others knew that Sun Quan's heart was immortal, but they didn't expect him to be so firm that the sergeants were called in.

This is only a layer of window paper from tearing the skin.

At this point, Zhang Hong already knew that Sun Quan had eaten the scales and had an iron heart, and if there was a direct conflict, no matter how powerful the clan was, it would not be Sun Quan's opponent.

"The lord is wise, and we will wholeheartedly assist the lord and create the great cause of Jiangdong."

After Zhang Hong and the others finished speaking, they withdrew with the civil officials, Sun Quan watched the civil officials withdraw, and his heart jumped up, although he looked calm just now, it was Sun Quan's consistent ability to suppress his emotions.

Since he succeeded to the throne, he has never been so open-minded as today, this is the most daring time since he inherited the throne, you must know how much courage it takes to directly encounter the Jiangdong clan, even if Sun Quan is a generation of heroes, he can't help but be afraid.

But for some reason, Sun Quan actually had some pleasure at this time, sandwiched in a violent heartbeat, which made his body more comfortable and more released.

"It's a good feeling." Sun Quan couldn't help but sigh.

Zhang Hong, Zhang Zhao and other civil officials walked out of the hall, and Gu Yong and Zhu Huan immediately got together, Zhang Zhao said angrily: "How can the lord be like this, if it weren't for our Zhang family, Gu family, and Zhu family, he would be where he is today?" How can it be justified today that we are threatened with sergeants to unload the mill and kill donkeys? ”

"But it seems that the lord really wants to continue the war and let the main battle faction control Jiangdong, we really can't make a big move now." Gu Yong said suspiciously.

"Do you want to be suffocated like this? Or ......" Zhang Zhao suddenly rolled his eyes: "We will find out the truth about the death of Sun Ce in Wangjianglou, he Sun Quan will definitely be ruined, see if he can still be arrogant." ”

"No." Zhang Hong categorically vetoed: "None of us can escape the matter of Wangjiang Tower, Sun Quan is ruined, and our reputation will be damaged."

The most important thing is that the Sun family still has a high prestige in Jiangdong, if Sun Quan falls, Sun Quan's heirs cannot inherit Jiangdong, we harm Sun Ce, and Sun Ce's heirs cannot inherit, then we will have to pull down the Sun family.

But if the Sun family is pulled down, who can govern Jiangdong? At that time, Jiangdong will be scattered, and even infighting, won't it give Liu Zhang a chance to take advantage of? This must not be done. ”

Zhang Hong pondered for a while, sneered, and said disdainfully: "We don't have to be so troublesome at all, we are all members of the world, how can he Sun Quan threaten it, with a clear gun and a knife, and a puppet, after waiting for a long time, he Sun Quan will know our energy."

It seems that Sun Quan has been too comfortable in the past few years, since he wants to unload the mill and kill the donkey, don't blame us for turning him into a puppet completely. ”

Gu Yong and Zhang Zhao both understood what Zhang Hong meant, the energy of the clan comes from financial resources, manpower, material resources and talents, as long as the clan is against Sun Quan, without a knife or gun, Sun Quan can also be hollowed out. Several people nodded.

But at this moment, suddenly a young general broke into the door of the house in a panic. (To be continued......)
