Chapter 125 Zhang Zhaomou Kingdom and Sun Quan Enter Jing
A large car was driving in Jianye City under the protection of many guards.

Pedestrians on the road avoided the road one after another, and the scholars among them looked sideways.

Some scholars on the street recognized that the person sitting in the car was Sun Quan.

The car was blocked by Wei Wei, and everyone could not clearly see Sun Quan's expression inside the car.

But they looked at the direction the car was driving, and some scholars who knew the inside story of Jiangdong's officialdom froze in their hearts, what happened to Jiangdong again?

Otherwise, why go to that person again?

Not far from Hussar General's Mansion, Sun Quan's chariot guards arrived outside a spacious mansion.

The movement of the car to stop steadily reminded Sun Quan in the car that he had arrived at his destination.

After realizing that he had reached his destination, Sun Quan could not help but sigh in his heart.

I thought that he no longer needed to be helped by that person as he was in the past, but he didn't expect that he still came here after going around.

Time is also life.

Sun Quan was a pragmatist, although he was unwilling, but now that Jiangdong was undergoing drastic changes, and there were only a few good officials in Jianye City, he was the only one he could discuss national affairs with.

If it weren't for this person back then, after Sun Ce's death, Sun Quan would not have been able to win the hearts of the people and keep Jiangdong, let alone be as expensive as he is today.

Under these thoughts in his heart, Sun Quan got up and stepped out of the tent of the car, he looked up at the plaque of the mansion in front of him.

"General Chariot and Cavalry Military Advisor Zhang Mansion".

Seeing the four big characters Cheqi General written on the plaque, Sun Quan only found it extremely dazzling.

General Chaqi was the official position given to Sun Quan by Liu Beibiao at the beginning, but since he decided to ally with Cao Cao, Sun Quan abandoned the official position of General Chaqi and accepted the title of General Hussar bestowed by Cao Cao.

After accepting this title, all the courtiers in his general's shogunate replaced the plaques accordingly.

Among the ministers of the shogunate, only Zhang Zhao, the most senior, still kept the original plaque.

This is Zhang Zhao's dissatisfaction with Sun Quan's refusal to listen to his advice, and his dissatisfaction with abandoning Liu Liancao in one fell swoop.

After Sun Quan saw the plaque, he felt angry in his heart, but he temporarily suppressed his anger when he thought of what he wanted from Zhang Zhao.

Sun Quan turned his eyes away and stopped looking at the plaque.

With the support from the left and right, he got out of the car and strode towards Zhang's mansion.

At this time, the guards outside Zhang's mansion saw Sun Quan's sudden visit, so he was so frightened that he went inside to report to Zhang Zhao, but his move was blocked by Sun Quan.

"Don't disturb Zhang Gong, you can enter alone."

After preventing the guards of Zhang's mansion from reporting, Sun Quan also ordered all his guards to stay outside Zhang's mansion, and he only entered with Gu Li, his close body.

Nearly forty, Sun Quan's legs and feet were not as convenient as his youth's, but he was very familiar with this Zhang mansion.

Zhang Zhao's mansion was built according to the one given to him by Sun Ce in Wu County back then.

The layout and architectural style inside are exactly the same as the Zhang Mansion in Wu County.

When Sun Quan was young, he was ordered by his elder brother Sun Ce to study classics and classics in Zhang Zhaofu.

How can Sun Quan not be familiar with the mansion where he has stayed for several years?

When Sun Quan stepped into Zhang's residence, looking at the various scenes buried in his childhood memories, a feeling as if it was yesterday suddenly rushed over.

Time flies, and the young man has become the overlord of the southeast.

And the celebrity who was regarded as a teacher by that young man back then was also abandoned by this southeast overlord.

Sun Quan, who was immersed in childhood memories, walked towards the interior of the Zhang Mansion step by step.

Along the way, many people in Zhang's mansion who knew him were anxious to bow down to him, but he ignored them all and walked straight to his destination.

Keep passing through the corridors, and the scenery around you keeps flashing.

Sun Quan only felt that his legs and feet were getting more and more convenient. At this time, he felt like he was back in his youth. With excitement, he went to visit the celebrity he admired very much under the leadership of his brother.

The same mood and anticipation, but it was to study in the past, but now it is to ask for help.

After walking for a long time, relying on the memory in his mind, Sun Quan finally came to a spacious lobby.

At this time, he saw the back of an old man, who was kneeling and sitting motionless on a stone seat.

Looking at the slightly hunched back due to old age, but very familiar with the back, Sun Quan's heart flashed with emotion.

He recalled the fierce defense between the old man and him a few months ago, and Sun Quan felt a little guilty.

Gu Li behind Sun Quanling waited on the spot, and he walked lightly to the opposite of Zhang Zhao and sat down slowly.

Then he called out: "Master Zhang."

Ever since Sun Quan inherited Jiangdong, he hadn't said the phrase "Master Zhang" for more than ten years.

And Sun Quan's words Zhang Shi also awakened Zhang Zhao who was resting with his eyes closed.

When Zhang Zhao heard this voice that he had not heard for more than ten years, he opened his old eyes.

After seeing that it was Sun Quan, a trace of disappointment flashed across Zhang Zhao's face.

He thought it was another Sun Lang who came to call him.

"General."

After speaking, Zhang Zhao was about to stand up and bow to Sun Quan, but Sun Quan signaled him not to stand up.

After preventing Zhang Zhao from getting up and saluting, Sun Quan asked Zhang Zhao, as if he had solved his doubts when he was studying, "Master Zhang, Jiangdong is undergoing major changes today, and the situation is critical. I hope Master Zhang can teach me."

After finishing speaking, it was Sun Quan who bowed slightly to Zhang Zhao.

Sun Quan and Zhang Zhao are not only masters and apprentices, but also monarchs and ministers. Their decades of friendship have already made their feelings extremely deep.

Sun Quan didn't need to bother trying to test Zhang Zhao, and Sun Quan didn't need to tell Zhang Zhao what happened.

Because he knew that Zhang Zhao, who had been in charge of Jiangdong's internal affairs for decades, had disciples and old officials all over Jiangdong, and Zhang Zhao must have received the news he could receive.

Sure enough, after hearing Sun Quan's question, Zhang Zhao showed no surprise at all.

Thinking of the news he had just received, Zhang Zhao also showed regret on his face.

He is also one of the Huaisi Group.

But facing Sun Quan's question, Zhang Zhao replied: "I am old, and the general's state affairs are planned by Lu Ziming for the general. Why do I need a generation who will go to the earth?"

There was resentment in Zhang Zhao's tone.

Sun Quan heard the resentment in Zhang Zhao's mouth. He knew that Zhang Zhao was complaining that he did not listen to the advice and insisted on betraying Liu Duojing.

If he had listened to what he said earlier, why would he have lost today.

Because he was angry at Sun Quan for not listening to his advice at the beginning, Zhang Zhao has been passively sabotaging government affairs in the past few months to fight against it.

Faced with the resentment in Zhang Zhao's heart, Sun Quan also felt that he was ashamed of Zhang Zhao.

So he bowed to Zhang Zhaoyi again, "Master Zhang, it was because I didn't listen to you that I suffered such a big defeat. I am ashamed."

"However, the current situation is critical. Why can't Mr. Zhang put aside his personal grievances and discuss state affairs with Gu to save the current situation?"

Sun Quan's second worship did not move the stubborn Zhang Zhao, and he didn't say anything this time.

Sun Quan was originally angry because of the defeat of the police, but now he saw that Zhang Zhao was still indifferent after apologizing to him twice, Sun Quan couldn't help feeling angry.

He held the knife in his waist and said, "When Jiangdong scholars enter the palace, they worship the orphan, and when they leave the palace, they worship the emperor. The orphan respects the emperor, and it is the most extreme.

And Jun humiliated Gu face to face several times, fearing that one day he would miss and hurt Jun. "

With Sun Quan's threatening words, coupled with his action of holding a knife in his hand, ordinary Jiangdong courtiers would have been terrified and at a loss.

But after Zhang Zhao saw this scene, his expression was as usual, and he said neither humble nor overbearing,
"Xi Tai Madam and Marquis Wu did not treat veterans as subordinates to generals, but generals as senior ministers. They hoped that the veterans would think of their duties as ministers, so that after the disappearance of the two lords, they would have something to say, in order to repay the kindness of the two lords.

But now that the old minister has short-sightedness and disobeyed the general's will, I have already made preparations for the corpse to be abandoned in the ditch after death.

I didn't expect the general to come to the door to discuss politics with the veteran today, and the veteran was very honored.

But the reason why the minister is stupid is to serve the country, and his ambition is loyalty and benefit, and he just dies.

If the general thinks that I will succumb to the blade for the sake of glory, it is a big mistake. "

Zhang Zhaogang is strong, he is nearly seventy years old, he has already enjoyed enough honor and wealth.

How can he be afraid of Sun Quan's death threat now that he is half buried in the ground?
As soon as Zhang Zhao's words were spoken, Sun Quan knew that his threat was useless.

But facing the strong Zhang Zhao, he still couldn't make that move.

Sun Quan could only throw his knife at Zhang Zhao and cry, "In the past, my mother and elder brother entrusted me to the teacher. Is the teacher really going to abandon me today?"

Seeing Zhang Zhao's softness and toughness, Sun Quan planned to move him with affection.

Sun Quan sounded crying, Zhang Zhao saw that Sun Ce was mentioned in Sun Quan's words, and Zhang Zhao became confused for a moment in his old eyes.

At the beginning, Zhang Zhao received many letters from northern scholar-bureaucrats, and all the credit for stabilizing Jiangdong was dedicated to him in the letters.

Zhang Zhao originally wanted to keep it secret because he was afraid of selfishness, but if he wanted to tell Sun Ce, he was afraid it would be inappropriate, so he was in a hurry to advance and retreat.

Later, when Sun Ce heard about this incident, he couldn't help patting him on the shoulder and laughing loudly:
"In the past, Guan Zhong was in harmony, one was Zhongfu, the other was Zhongfu, and Duke Huan was the overlord's clan. Today, I can use my son Buxian, and his fame is not my concern!"

To this day, Sun Ce's hearty smile is still deeply etched in Zhang Zhao's mind.

In the face of suspicion, the one who had never doubted himself, was promoted to pay respects to his mother, as old as shoulder to shoulder.

Faced with persuasion, that person would smile and praise himself even if he didn't need it, and handed over all important matters in Jiangdong to himself.

I was abandoned by Sun Quan several times in Jiangdong, and I never left him. Isn't it just to repay the original friendship?
With the reputation of not losing to Wang Lang and Hua Xin, how could he lose to them when he returned to the Central Plains?
Thinking of Sun Ce, Zhang Zhao's hard heart softened.

He looked at the Jiangdong Zhizun who he helped grow up step by step in front of him.

He thought of the entreaty of that friend ten years ago before his death, Zhang Zhao could only shake his head helplessly in the end.

Zhongmou can be negative, how can Bo Fu bear to bear it!

Zhang Zhao also had some tears in his eyes at this moment, and he asked Sun Quan, "How does Ziming suggest this matter?"

As soon as Zhang Zhao said this, Sun Quan happily looked up at Zhang Zhao.

Zhang Zhao finally let go.

Sun Quan hurriedly took out the letter written by Lu Meng and showed it to Zhang Zhao. After reading it, Zhang Zhao showed a heavy expression on his face.

After contemplating, Zhang Zhao said to Sun Quan, "At this time, Ziming can retreat, but the general cannot."

Hearing what Zhang Zhao said, Sun Quan's eyes lit up, and he asked Zhang Zhaodao eagerly, "What do you mean by Master Zhang's words?"

Zhang Zhao replied, "Zi Ming is the commander of the army, so when he said retreating the army, he was talking about the military struggle."

"As far as the military struggle is concerned, the morale of the police is strong at this time, while the morale of our own side is depressed. Just like Ziming said, the police are no longer available, and withdrawing troops is the best strategy."

"However, in terms of state affairs, if the general retreats at this time, it will be at a great disadvantage."

"In the first battle of Public Security, our army lost three generals in a row. If it's just that, it's just that the strength of the general's direct line is damaged. It is the best policy to retreat back to Jiangdong."

"But in that battle, not only were the three generals killed, but almost all their soldiers were also wiped out."

"Nearly [-] Jiangdong elites, at least hundreds of generals died in battle, and most of those generals came from powerful families in Jiangdong."

"Previously, in order to attack Jingzhou, the general recruited a large number of civilians for food and grass, which has already aroused the dissatisfaction of the powerful families in Jiangdong.

Now that the public security battle has caused hundreds of Jiangdong children to die, how can those Jiangdong gentry be willing to let it go with such damage? "

"The rumors that have been circulating in Jianye City are proof that the Jiangdong gentry are already dissatisfied with the general."

After hearing what Zhang Zhao said, Sun Quan suddenly realized.

Sun Ce pacified Jiangdong back then, relying on the strength of General Huaisi who followed him south.

Since the occupation of Jiangdong, because Sun Quan has been unable to defeat Huaisi for a long time, the strength of the Huaisi Group has not been replenished, and one death is one less.

Under such circumstances, the situation in Jiangdong's army has become:

Most of the chief generals are Huaisi generals or clan relatives, but the middle-level generals in the army are mostly the children of the large Jiangdong gentry or local wealthy families.

It is true that the deaths of Huang Gai and the others in the first battle of the Public Security Bureau were a serious blow to Jiangdong's Huaisi Group.

But the life and death of hundreds of outstanding children in the army, is it not a heavy blow to the local aristocratic family in Jiangdong?

Even the 20-year battle of Hefei in Jian'an, which was regarded by Sun Quan as a great shame in life, did not cause such consequences.

Although Jiangdong was defeated in that battle, not many people died, most of them were Sun Quan's guards.

Moreover, most of the famous generals in Huaisi were there at that time, and they were able to suppress the dissatisfaction of the local gentry.

But times have changed, and in the first battle of the police, too many people died, and the scope of the attack was too wide.

The situation is different, so it is necessary to adopt a different approach.

Zhang Zhao went on to say, "At this time, the Jiangdong gentry are dissatisfied inside, and Huaisi's power is weakening outside. The general can retreat at this time, but he must not retreat immediately."

"The army outside the public security city is mostly composed of soldiers from Jiangdong.

If the general ordered them to return to Jiangdong immediately, once the tens of thousands of troops disbanded and returned to their own homes, the powerful families in Jiangdong would increase their troops in an instant.

At that time, the dissatisfied Jiangdong aristocratic family will inevitably have turmoil. "

"And if the general temporarily leaves the tens of thousands of troops outside the Public Security City, since Jiangdong's troops are all on the front line, the aristocratic families in the territory have no troops to rely on, so there is nothing to fear for the time being."

"And in order to supply the army in front, the general can also take the opportunity to continuously extract food and grass from various noble families, so as to further weaken the strength of the disobedient people in the territory."

"During this period of time, the veterans in Jianye strictly investigated all the aristocratic families in Jiangdong for the generals, and removed those who disobeyed the generals one by one."

"After that, it is the best plan for the general to order the army to return to Jiangdong to recuperate."

After listening to Zhang Zhao's strategy, Sun Quan couldn't help feeling enlightened.

This is what it means to be mature and seek the country.

Zhang Zhao, who has been in charge of Jiangdong's great affairs for decades, can be said to be the one who knows Jiangdong's internal affairs best.

Compared with Lu Meng, his suggestion is more comprehensive, and it is considered from the perspective of maintaining the overall stability of Jiangdong.

Obviously, Zhang Zhao's remarks are also in line with Sun Quan's heart.

The reason why Sun Quan was saddened by the death of Huang Gai and the others, and the reason why nearly ten thousand elites were wiped out, was that he was afraid that the interior of Jiangdong would be unstable.

And Zhang Zhao's plan can dispel his worries.

But Sun Quan felt that this strategy was still not perfect.

Sun Quan said, "But now Ziming is seriously ill, and the morale of the troops outside Gong'an City is unstable.

There is currently no other general in our army who can comfort people like Ziming, so what can we do? "

The morale of the army outside the Public Security City was unstable, which was the biggest reason why Lu Meng wanted to retreat.

If it can't appease the army's morale, then this point is a ticking time bomb for the Jiangdong army outside the Public Security City.

But now Lu Meng would die of illness at any time, which made Sun Quan very headache.

After hearing Sun Quan's doubts, Zhang Zhao glanced at Sun Quan and said calmly, "Now in Jiangdong, there is only one person who can suppress the generals and stabilize the morale of the army."

Hearing what Zhang Zhao said, Sun Quan became curious instantly, he bent forward and asked Zhang Zhaodao, "Who is it?"

Even though Zhang Zhao was reluctant, but for the sake of the overall situation, he could only say, "That is you, General."

Hearing what Zhang Zhao said, Sun Quan realized, yes, how could I forget myself.

He has been in charge of Jiangdong for nearly 20 years. In terms of prestige in Jiangdong, who else can be higher than him?

Zhang Zhao continued, "General, you can go to the front to lead the troops and replace Ziming."

"As soon as the general arrives, the hearts of the generals will naturally be at ease. Once the hearts of the generals are at ease, the army will be at ease."

"When the general arrives at the Public Security Bureau, he can not only stabilize the morale of the army, but also firmly hold the Jiangdong army in his hands, and it will not be in the hands of others.

If there is a sudden turmoil in Jiangdong, the general can also lead the army back to Jiangdong to quell the chaos. "

"I will stay in Jianye, sort out the interior for the general, and punish disobedient ministers."

After Zhang Zhao finished speaking, Sun Quan finally had a look of great joy on his face.

With Zhang Zhao at the helm, the current turmoil in Jiangdong's interior will definitely be properly resolved.

Just like Zhang Zhao helped and protected him when he first took charge of Jiangdong.

A heart disease in his heart finally had a solution.

Seeing the overjoyed look on Sun Quan's face, Zhang Zhaoyan reminded Sun Quan, "Remember, General, as Ziming said, the police are no longer available."

"The general's going to the public security this time only needs to stabilize the morale of the army. After Jiangdong's interior is stabilized, he can lead the army back to recuperate."

Although Zhang Zhao is not optimistic about Sun Quan's ability to command the army, at present only Sun Quan can replace Lu Meng to stabilize the army.

Moreover, Sun Quan went here not to attack, but to defend. This shouldn't be a big problem, right?

It was Zhang Zhao's reminder, I don't know if Sun Quan listened to it.

In the end, Zhang Zhao took the initiative to bow to Sun Quan, and he said to Sun Quan, "If Jiangdong survives this crisis safely, the old minister has only one request."

At this time Sun Quan was in a good mood, he quickly supported Zhang Zhaodao, "As long as Master Zhang can help me stabilize Jiangdong, I will answer any request."

After receiving Sun Quan's promise, Zhang Zhao said with hope in his arms: "Although I know that words are useless, every time a foolish and loyal person is exhausted, I sincerely think that the Marquis of Wu is about to collapse and call the old minister under the bed, so the words of Gu Ming are in my ears."

"I only hope that Shao'er will inherit the position of Marquis of Wu as soon as possible, and fulfill the last wish of the former master."

This was the last thing Zhang Zhaoneng did for Sun Ce.

After hearing Zhang Zhao's request, Sun Quan's eyes became a little hazy.

He intended to reject Zhang Zhao, but thinking that he still needed Zhang Zhao to stabilize Jiangdong for him, he could only nod in agreement temporarily.

Afterwards, Sun Quan left Zhang's mansion immediately, and returned to the general's mansion to make arrangements for entering Jing.

The world is impermanent, when Mi Fang resorted to countermeasures, she originally thought that the Jiangdong army would retreat without a fight.

Unexpectedly, by mistake, this move made Sun Quan and Zhang Zhao think that the rumors in the city were a sign of the Jiangdong family's counterattack, which prompted Sun Quan to go to Jingzhou.

I just don't know if Mi Yang should thank his father in the end?

　There will be at least 2 updates in a while, and the time is about the same as yesterday.
