Chapter 2534 Zhonghu urged Sun Zhongmou, Guo Ziyi ambush Sun Ce

Chapter 2530: Zhong Hu urged Sun Zhongmou, Guo Ziyi ambushed Sun Ce

Wu State's attitude towards the aristocratic family, like that of Song, Wei, Chu and other countries, is mainly based on suppression.

The state of Wu regarded the family as a hen that lays golden eggs, and the water was flowing, and it continued to provide nutrients for the country, rather than directly killing chickens and taking eggs as in the Ming state.

The aristocratic family grew by relying on the state to absorb nutrients, but the Wu State instead absorbed nutrients from the aristocratic family, which naturally made the Jiangdong family dissatisfied with Sun Jian and Sun Ce and his son.

But due to the power of the father and son, the Jiangdong family did not dare to resist, because the families who dared to resist had already been wiped out.

I have to say that this is definitely the most unfriendly era for the aristocratic family. No matter where the aristocratic family is, they will be suppressed, and there is no light in sight.

Sun Quan's political views are different from that of Sun Jian and Sun Ce. Although he is also using the family, he will give the family a little taste.

Not only wanted the horse to run, but also gave the horse food.

This also caused the Jiangdong family to be closer to Sun Quan than Sun Jian and Sun Ce, and they took the initiative to attach themselves to Sun Quan.

With the support of the Jiangdong family, Sun Quan has no worries about governing Yuzhang. The family will provide him with whatever resources he needs, so Yuzhang will usher in great governance.

Sima Yi also came from an aristocratic family and knew how powerful the family was.

Sun Quan was not as good as Sun Ce in terms of identity, status, or merit, and his foundation in the military and political circles of Wu State was far less profound than that of Sun Ce.

Generally speaking, as long as Sun Ce does not die and does not take the initiative to make mistakes, there is no possibility for Sun Quan to replace him.

But as long as he needs the support of the Jiangdong family, Sun Quan still has a glimmer of hope.

After Sun Quan was transferred from Yuzhang and served as the prefect of Kuaiji, he naturally wanted to replicate the miracle of Yuzhang's great governance. After all, even if he couldn't be the king of Wu, he still wanted to be the No. 1 right under the king of Wu.

However, the previous fiasco in the face of Japanese pirates made the Jiangdong family invest so much resources, and the political capital accumulated for Sun Quan was all wasted, so his attitude towards Sun Quan became ambiguous.

Although the Jiangdong family still supports Sun Quan, the investment is not as big as before.

Sun Quan lost the support of the aristocratic family, and it was naturally difficult to replicate the miracle of Yuzhang in Kuaiji.

Sima Yi helped Sun Quan solve this big security problem when Sun Quan was in the most difficult time.

Sima Yi is well aware of the truth that adding icing on the cake is not as good as giving help in the snow, and if he wants to completely win the trust of Sun Quan, he must be at the lowest point in his life.

But being exiled to Kuaiji, with poor governance and mediocre political performance, was the lowest point in Ha Sunjian's life, and Sima Yi's help to Sun Quan at this time was a relief.

Sima Yi, who goes by the pseudonym 'Zhong Da', took the initiative to join Sun Quan's command. At first, Sun Quan didn't take Sima Yi very seriously.

But when Sima Yi made several proposals and solved his own problems, Sun Quan immediately realized that this person was talented, and naturally he entrusted Sima Yi to reuse it.

Sun Quan, the prefect, appointed Sima Yi as the chief bookkeeper, and Sima Yi helped Sun Quan persuade the four major families of Jiangdong, namely Zhang, Zhu, Gu, and Bu.

The Bu family was not one of the four major families in Jiangdong, but because the Lu family, which originally belonged to the four major families, took refuge in Liu Xiu, the king of Chu, the Lu family had also moved out of Jiangdong. The Bu family, second only to the Lu family, naturally filled the Lu family’s place. vacancy.

As for the Gu family, although the most outstanding disciple, Gu Yong, served in Daqin, most of the Gu family's children stayed in Jiangdong and served in Wu.

Under the persuasion of Sima Yi, Sun Quan took the initiative to befriend Bu Chen, and married the Bu family, marrying Bu Chen's sister, Bu Lianshi, as his wife, thus gaining the support of the Bu family.

The four major families in Jiangdong are married to each other, and the relationship between each family has never separated me.

After Sun Quan had the support of the Bu family, he was led by Bu Chen, and he easily persuaded the Zhang, Zhu, and Gu families to obtain the support of all the four major families in Jiangdong.

The Jiangdong family is basically headed by the four major families, and even the four major families support Sun Quan. Those small and medium-sized families naturally chose Sun Quan.

In this way, Sun Quan won the support of the entire Jiangdong family by marrying Bu Lianshi.

With the support of the aristocratic family, Sun Quan no longer has any constraints in Kuaiji. In addition, he has Sima Yi's assistance, and there is no shortage of resources. After a year of hard work, Kuaiji County also ushered in a great governance. Former Yuzhang County.

Later, Sun Quan showed his expertise in detailing the administration. After obtaining Sun Jian's consent, he divided Jiangji County into: Kuaiji County (now Fujian Province), Linhai County (now southeast of Zhejiang Province), Dongyang County (now the southeastern part of Zhejiang Province). Today, there are three counties in Jinhua and Quzhou, Zhejiang.

Since then, the state of Wu has owned nine counties, namely: Danyang, Wujun, Yuzhang, Pengze, Poyang, Kuaiji, Linhai, Dongyang, and Lujiang (three counties in the southeast of Lujiang + three counties in the south of Jiujiang);
Sun Jian delegated Sun Quan to Kuaiji as the prefect just to break Sun Quan's thoughts, but Sun Quan's achievements in governing Kuaiji County again threatened the position of Sun Ce's heir.

In order to solve this problem completely, Sun Jian made Sun Ce the main general and Sun Wu, who was more capable of commanding the army, as his deputy, just wanted to pave the way for Sun Ce's succession in the near future.

Sun Quan was well aware of this, but it was his father's actions that made him even more angry.

Sun Jian appointed Sun Ce as the chief general of the expedition against Chu, and on the grounds that Sun Quan was promoted to work in Yangzhou, he was transferred from Kuaiji and went to Lujiang, where he was responsible for the supply of food and grass for the expedition of Chu, and concurrently served as the prefect of Lujiang.

Sun Jian's move, on the surface, is to promote and reuse Sun Quan, but in fact it is also rising and falling, completely cutting off Sun Quan's foundation in Wu State.

When Sun Quan was in Kuaiji, although he was only the prefect of one county, he was responsible for the military and political power of three counties.

If he came to Lujiang, his position has indeed improved, and he may only have jurisdiction over the land of six counties, and these six counties are also bordered by the three kingdoms of Chu, Song and Ming.

Given the geographical location of the six counties on the Lujiang River, no matter how much Sun Quan tossed, it would be impossible for him to turn up the waves and never pose any threat to Sun Ce again.

It has to be said that Sun Jian's move was quite ruthless, and directly hit Sun Quan's weakness. However, Sun Quan had no way to do anything. He had no way to resist his father Sun Jian, and could only honestly go to Lujiang to take office.

Along the way, Sun Quan almost wrote the words 'reluctance' on his face, and his heart became more and more complaining about his father Sun Jian.

He felt that his father was too partial. His father had always only seen his eldest brother. No matter what the eldest brother did, he was right, and no matter how much he achieved, he would never look at himself.

Sun Quan asked himself that his contribution to the Wu state was not small. Although he had defeated the Japanese state, he also had meritorious deeds in governing the two counties of Yuzhang and Kuaiji.

Among the nine counties of Eastern Wu, his Sun Quan had ruled six counties, and now he is about to serve as the seventh county, which is the prefect of Lujiang county.

His Sun Quan's contribution to Wu State was not much worse than his elder brother Sun Ce, but his father didn't even give him a chance to compete fairly?
This is so unfair.

The more Sun Quan thought about it, the more angry he became. The more angry he became, the more he thought about it. His resentment towards his father, Sun Jian, became more and more intense. There was a tendency to turn from resentment to resentment.

Sun Jian's suppression of Sun Quan was comprehensive, and it was not only Sun Quan who was suppressed, but Sun Quan's entire small group, including Bu Jin and Sima Yi.

Due to a small problem, Bu Yu was directly revoked by Sun Jian from the prefect, and he was demoted to become a county magistrate.

As for Sima Yi, Sun Jian knew that he was Sun Quan's counselor, and he had an extraordinary strategy, so he was ready to transfer him from Sun Quan's side and let Sima Yi serve under Sun Ce's command, so he was promoted to join the army in the battle of Chu.

In this regard, Sima Yi naturally refused decisively. After all, he came to Wu with a purpose. It was not meaningful for him to stay by Sun Ce's side. Only Sun Quan could let him accomplish his goal.

Sima Yi rejected Sun Jian's expedition, and with a posture that didn't care about fame, he voluntarily stayed by Sun Quan's side and worked for him, which naturally moved Sun Quan very much.

But Sima Yi's refusal aroused Sun Jian's dissatisfaction.

He intends to promote Sima Yi to serve as Sun Ce's right-hand man, but Sima Yi remains by Sun Quan's side wholeheartedly, but the key is that the relationship between the two has not reached that level?

Then Sima Yi's various actions seemed to Sun Jian to have ulterior motives, and some did not know how to praise him, so Sima Yi was recruited twice.

If Sun Jian's first recruitment was a good word, then the second was serious, and the third was forced recruitment, not giving Sima Yi the right to refuse at all, just to transfer him away from Sun Quan.

Not only was Sima Yi not worried about this, but he was overjoyed. He knew that the time to wait had come. If he didn't take action, he would really have no chance after he left Sun Quan's side.

"Second son."

Sima Yi shook his head, and after dispelling the distracting thoughts in his heart, he looked apologetically at Sun Quan above, and cupped his hands: "Zhong Da is here to resign to your son."

Sun Quan was shocked when he heard this, and quickly stepped forward to grab Sima Yi's hand: "Is even Mr. Quan leaving?"

Sun Quan has tasted the warmth and coldness of the world during this period of time. After he was deliberately suppressed by his father, the Jiangdong family who had always supported him also left him one after another, including the Bu family.

No way, Sun Jian's intention to suppress Sun Quan is too obvious, as long as he is not a fool, he can basically see it.

If the Jiangdong family still dared to support Sun Quan, they would be arguing against Sun Jian, the king of Wu.

Although the Jiangdong family had their hearts on Sun Quan, in order to protect the family, they did not dare to support Sun Quan any more, so they all cut off contact with Sun Quan.

Sun Quan's greatest asset is the support of his aristocratic family. Without the support of the Jiangdong family, there would be no threat to Sun Ce.

I have to say, your dad is your dad after all.

This move by Sun Jian was really too cruel. He directly knocked Sun Quan from the clouds to the ground, making all his efforts go to zero again.

Sun Quan had long been used to the days when Sima Yi was by his side, advising him. Now that Sima Yi took the initiative to resign, he was naturally 1 reluctant.

Sima Yi shook his head and said, "It's not that Zhong Da wants to leave the son, but King Wu wants Zhong Da to leave the son.

The King of Wu has issued three orders to Zhong Da, and the third one is forcible. If Da refuses, he will be regarded as a traitor and sent to prison.

Tatsuya didn't want to leave the son, but he had to. "

After speaking, Sima Yi sighed bitterly, looking extremely reluctant to leave.

Sun Quan clenched his fists, and then let them go weakly, and said with a bitter expression: "Father, he is too much, he is trying to force me to death."

"No, you are father and son after all, and King Wu will not be so cruel."

"Why not?

Kuaiji has great governance, and the power to govern Kuaiji has merit, but the father and king are not rewarded for his merits, and he even openly suppresses meritorious ministers.

In order to let the eldest brother succeed the throne, the father and king don't even care about his face, what else can't he do? "

Sun Quan gritted his teeth and drank, as if to vent all the injustice he had experienced.

"Mr. Zhong Da, Quan knows that you have the talent to go through the sky and the latitude. I beg you to help Quan one last time and show him a way to survive."

Sun Quan looked at Sima Yi with a look of hope, and Sima Yi sighed: "Where is the way of life, the son knows clearly in his heart, why do you need to say more."

After saying that, Sima Yi shook his head and strode out.

Seeing the back of Sima Yi leaving, Sun Quan's face instantly became extremely distorted, and he said in a low voice, "Father, brother, you forced me."

After Sima Yi returned to the mansion, he received a summons from a secret agent of Chu before he could pack up and salute.

As Sima Yi expected, after he left, Sun Quan sent another confidant, secretly contacted the secret agent of Chu State, and leaked the secret information of Wu Jun, and planned to use the power of Chu State to get rid of Sun Ce.

As long as Sun Ce can't come back to Wu State, then the position of King Wu is most likely to be inherited by Sun Quan.

"Tell Guo Ziyi that you can cooperate with Sun Quan. The information he gave is true, but unless it is absolutely necessary, you must not kill Sun Ce, and try to focus on capturing him alive."

Guo Ziyi, who sticks to Xunyang, is naturally very embarrassed after receiving the summons from Sima Yi.

After all, Wu's army is now strong and he is weak, and Sun Ce's strength is so strong, and there are many fierce generals under his command to help out, so it is too difficult to capture him alive.

But looking at the classified information in his hand, Guo Ziyi felt that if the ambush was properly arranged, it was not impossible to capture Sun Ce alive.
