Han Xiang

Chapter 244

Compared to Zhou Yu, who was young and vigorous, Sun Quan liked the older Zhang Zhao more. He picked up a piece of pork and smelled it first, and it turned out that it was just a simple smell of meat, and there was no strange smell.

Put it in your mouth and chew it lightly. The pork is soft and glutinous, with a moderate salty taste. Except for simple seasoning with salt, the rest is the original taste of the ingredients.

Ah, so fragrant.

Since Sun Quan has a wealthy family background, he has created a character that he will enjoy. Spending money is often not enough; Sun Ce asked Lu Fan for money for personal affairs when he was alive, but he was politely rejected, which created a rift; Often embezzling public funds for private use, it all depends on the meritorious Cao Zhou Gu to make false accounts to deal with Sun Ce's audit.

Sun Quan will enjoy it, and his diet is also included. He seldom eats pork because of its fishy smell.

After tasting the meat sent by Zhang Zhao, Sun Quan changed his view on pork.

"This meat is really good, why is it different? Could it be that the water and soil in Hefei are different?"

Zhang Zhao said with a smile: "I once asked someone who came here, and I heard that this method of raising fragrant pigs was taught by Long Yunqi. This person is really all-round."

"This guy can always come up with something new for me. It's delicious."

Sun Quan was so hungry that he didn't care about eating, so he ate heartily in front of Zhang Zhao.

Zhang Zhao looked surprised: "My lord is so eager, could it be that he hasn't had dinner yet?"

"Eating? I'm full of gas."

While eating meat, Sun Quan told about Zhou Yu's actions. Zhang Zhao's eyes widened and he murmured to himself after a while: "Gong Jin should have done it unintentionally. Long Xiang's marriage to Erqiao has happened recently in the city. He may be upset if the rumor spreads all over the place.”

"Is he unhappy? Come and throw my food tripod?"

Sun Quan was expressionless, thinking to himself that Zhou Yu would shoot himself in the foot, if he hadn't suggested using Naerqiao as an excuse to take Hefei, he would not be laughed at by others now.

Zhang Zhao smiled awkwardly, and helped explain: "Gong Jin and Bo Fu are brothers and sisters, and they are loyal to the lord. Although they acted recklessly this time, they have good intentions. Don't be angry, lord."

"You and Gongjin are my right-hand men, who would be angry with my thighs? It was just complaining."

Sun Quan pretended to be generous, but in his heart he regarded Zhou Yu as a powerful minister. How could a powerful minister and the lord be friends?Seeing Zhang Zhao stroking his beard and nodding his head, he couldn't help teasing in his heart, you and Zhou Yu are not on the same side, so it seems fake to help him speak like this.

Zhang Zhaoshou stood aside, watching Sun Quan concentrate on 'cooking the rice', and he returned to the table to sit upright when the meat in the cauldron was slowly emptied.

"Burp so full"

Sun Quan patted his stomach and said with a smile: "This pork is really good. I will ask Long Yunqi later how to raise such a fragrant pig. If he is not willing to share, we will buy one or two pigs every month and let everyone eat." Always sweeten your mouth."

"No problem, I'll take care of this, if my lord has nothing else to do."

Zhang Zhao was about to leave, but was stopped by Sun Quan before he got up: "There is one more thing, Gongjin also wants to supervise Shi Feiqu, I wonder if Zibu has any opinions?"

Zhang Zhao's face changed, thinking that Zhou Lang's hands were itchy?Holding military power is not enough fun, but also want to intervene in domestic and foreign affairs?He frowned and pondered for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "Gongjin is busy with military affairs, and the mountains and mountains are still in rebellion. How can he be overqualified? The construction of Shifei Canal is normal, so don't bother him to go?"

"What Zhang Gong said is true." Sun Quan nodded in affirmation, and then sighed meaningfully: "However, no matter how many rebellions there are in Shanyue, there will always be an end."

Zhang Zhao understood the implication, and dared to feel that the lord was afraid of Zhou Yu's monopoly, and wanted to keep him out of town all year round, thinking that this is not just a handhold?
"There are internal turmoil and foreign troubles. Liu Biao in Jingzhou, Chen Deng in Guangling, and even Cao Cao in the Central Plains. The world is so vast, and Gong Jin has a lot to do."

"En." Sun Quan nodded frequently.

Regarding Zhou Yu's justification just now, Sun Quan planned to do the opposite, so he told Zhang Zhaodao: "Since the construction of the Shi Fei Canal is normal, Zibu should send fewer people to Hefei, so that Long Xiang will not think that we have a plan, and go to see it before it is completed." "

Zhang Zhao hastily reminded: "My lord evacuated Lujiang River last year, so it's wrong not to send someone from Huainan now, right? That would cut off the information from the Central Plains."

"It doesn't matter." Sun Quan waved his hand lightly: "I have already prepared for Bohai (Sun He), and I will lead troops into Lujiang in a few days."

Zhang Zhao was puzzled: "But why?"

Sun Quan explained: "Mei Cheng, Chen Lan and other bandits in Huainan all wanted to submit to me in Jiangdong, and they sent many letters during the Chinese New Year. I thought that their thieves would be hard to change, and moving to Jiangdong would be a disaster, so they simply stayed in Lujiang. With Bo Hai in charge, it will not only be able to restrain Long Xiang, but also cooperate with Jiangdong's main force to go north."

"So that's how it is." Zhang Zhao suddenly realized, and followed the remonstrance: "It's just that these people's thieves are hard to change. We must tell the Weikou Zhongying (Sun He) to be careful. Yan Xiang is a lesson from the past."

Sun Quan nodded and replied, "Bo Hai is reliable in his work, so there shouldn't be any problems. He knows how to make excuses."

"That's good."

Zhang Zhaoshu nodded, and reminded again: "As for Gongjin's arrangement, my lord, please consider it carefully, and don't let him have a grudge."

"Don't worry, Zibu, I know what's going on."

It has been half a year since Sun Quan succeeded to the throne, and he has mastered tactics and checks and balances, especially the trick against Sun Fu, which he feels is so good that he can use it repeatedly.

Two days later, Sun Quan worshiped Zhou Yu as the governor, commanding the troops and horses of various ministries in Jiangdong, responsible for suppressing all rebellions in the territory.

Sun Quan's appointment meant that Dantu's Jiangdong main force was also commanded and dispatched by Zhou Yu, but Jiangdong's private army system was doomed to him as the chief governor, and the scope of his command was also limited.

Even if Zhou Yu was the governor, he still couldn't command the trilogy of Sun's clan and relatives, such as Sun Ben, Sun He, Sun Yi, Xu Kun, Wu Jing; He will be surrendered, but his power will be greater than that of the Central Guard Army.

Sun Quan put more burden on Zhou Yu, and his sense of responsibility made him quickly devote himself to countering the rebellion, and Wuxia no longer cared about his "rival in love" Long Xiang.

Jiangdong didn't send anyone to supervise, so Long Xiang organized his staff to fire at full force. Since February, the work has been in full swing, especially the upstream of Shishui is the most lively.

Spring returns to the earth, and the craftsmen in Hefei City are performing their duties. Farmers on both sides of the river are busy with spring plowing and sowing. Hefei New City is pouring rubble concrete foundations at various construction sites, so that there is no need to worry about the city walls being soaked in water in the future. Since the foundations of the new city have been excavated, The tools that were 'misappropriated' returned to the Shifeiqu project, so channel excavation has also entered the stage of exertion.

In mid-February, Long Xiang went to inspect the Shifeiqu project, and it started to rain shortly after arriving.

The temperature in early spring is not high, and working in the rain is easy to catch cold and cause diseases.

Because of the lack of medical care in Hefei, Longxiang strictly ordered the suspension of work during the rainy season, so when it rained, the laborers went back to the temporary work sheds to avoid the rain.

Accompanied by Lei Xu, Long Xiang walked to the nearby work shed.

The spring rain was pattering, and the vision in front of him was gradually blurred. Long Xiang could vaguely hear the sound of horseshoes.

Looking at the reputation, I saw two people riding two horses, running wildly in the rain.

Lei Xu pointed at the person who came and reminded loudly: "General, it seems to be General Zhang and General Xu."
