Han Xiang

Chapter 387

Sun Quan, as a political leader, is obedient and obedient.

But he acted stupid twice in front of Mrs. Wu, temporarily trampled on the qualities of a political leader,
As the saying goes, repeat again and again, and Sun Quan knows that if he doesn't express his position next time, he might rise to the level of filial piety.

Recently Mrs. Wu often mentioned Sun Ce's last words: If you don't decide on foreign affairs, ask Zhou Yu, and if you don't decide on internal affairs, ask Zhang Zhao.

Sun Quan looked at all the officials in the court, and only Zhang Zhao could check and balance Zhou Yu.

Although Zhang Zhao once supported Sun Yi, Sun Quan was forced to have no choice at this time.

One day in July, Sun Quan left Zhang Zhao behind after he lost his value.

Sun Quan sent away all the attendants, leaving only the master and servant in the back hall.

In midsummer, the doors and windows are closed.

Zhang Zhao kept wiping his sweat with his sleeves. He knew Sun Quan's intentions, but as a mature politician, he knew that silence is golden at this time.

In the battle of Huainan, there were victories and defeats.

The key is the two teams of Wu Jing and Zhou Yu.

But it was Wu Jing who got the trick and was beaten. It was Zhou Yu who saved face with a small victory, and it was Zhou Yu who forced Cao Cao away.

No matter who commanded Yuan Shu's old department, Sun Quan was the commander-in-chief of this team, and Wu Jing was only the general in charge of execution, so it would be very difficult for Sun Quan to blame him.

At this time, Zhou Yu was gaining momentum, and even Mrs. Wu was willing to give him a platform. Zhang Zhao asked himself that he could not fight at this time.

Seeing that Zhang Zhao had been silent for a long time, Sun Quan finally couldn't bear it because of the sweltering heat. He came to Zhang Zhao's case and sat down cross-legged. The first sentence was Sun Ce's last words.

"Mr. Zhang, do you still remember your elder brother's deathbed instructions?"

"I dare not forget for a day."

Zhang Zhao's face is sincere, but Sun Ce's sentence "If Zhongmou doesn't do anything, the king will take it himself" is still rotten in his heart and dare not say it.

Because Sun Quan has been on the throne until now, he still respects himself. On the contrary, Zhou Yu led his troops to fight hard for the king, just in the name of supporting Sun Quan.

If he rashly took out his last words and replaced Sun Quan with Sun Yi or Sun Kuang, he might not be able to pass Zhou Yu's test, which would cause turmoil in Jiangdong.

Sun Quan stared at Zhang Zhao, and nodded slightly: "Mr. Zhang, as long as you remember, I still have to rely on you. Right now, the prefect of Danyang and the general of Huainan are still undecided. These two appointments are both foreign affairs and internal affairs. Why don't you see Mr. Zhang say anything?"

Zhang Zhao explained: "The Marquis of Guangde Youke made great achievements in the Lujiang River, and now he is recommended by the governor. The third son is recognized by the officials. I think they are all qualified. I don't know why the lord is hesitant?"

"I also know that they can do the job, but my mother's health is getting worse and there is not much time left. I want to keep Uncle Bi (Sun Yi) to be a filial piety at home. He is still young anyway, and there will be opportunities for him to show his talents in the future. "

In order to persuade Zhang Zhao, Sun Quan had already prepared a reason that he could not refuse, and then continued to add: "My uncle has a very high prestige in Danyang. It is his credit for driving away Yuan Yin before, and he is the best candidate to be the prefect of Danyang. The Governor-General of the Metropolitan Government has his eyes fixed on Huainan, I think putting my uncle in Huainan is like killing a chicken with a sledgehammer."

"If the Marquis of Guangde is to take over Danyang, I don't know who the Lord plans to send to Huainan? Since the third son wants to be filial at home, why not leave him to guard the Huaihe River?" Zhang Zhao took Sun Quan's words and turned against the army.

Sun Quan nodded and replied: "I still plan to hand over Huainan to Bohai (Sun He). After all, he has been in Lujiang for so long, so he needs to be familiar with it. Now we will wait for Cao Cao to give Zhang Liao an order."

Zhang Zhao frowned and shook his head: "Cao Cao is in a hurry to go back, it must be because of Yuan Shao's harassment, I'm afraid he didn't reply so quickly, and the lord just wants to get away with him with a few underwear, isn't it too childish?"

"Everyone knows that Cao thief is lustful, and those sets of underwear will definitely suit him. When he sees the underwear sewn by Erqiao, he may have fantasies. This is my plan to kill two birds with one stone." Sun Quan said proudly. .

Zhang Zhao said bitterly: "Our army has just lost in Huainan. My lord should befriend Long Xiang. It is right to contain Hefei. If you deceive Cao Cao in the name of his wife, how can Long Xiang rest?"

"It's none of my business. Erqiao sews underwear with his own hands, and sells them publicly at Yaoji Trading Company. The price ranges from 20 yuan to 100 million yuan. Long Xiang uses his wife's reputation to make money. It is understandable for me to resell it to Cao Cao."

Seeing Sun Quan's disapproval, Zhang Zhaoyu reminded earnestly: "Send to Shouchun is an ordinary model with a price of [-] yuan. Longxiang has no name or profit, and the lord has exaggerated the value. I think it is really inappropriate. I'm really afraid of hurting Sun Bohai."

"How does Mr. Zhang know it's an ordinary money?" Sun Quan looked puzzled.

Zhang Zhao shook his head bitterly: "Since Yao Ji opened the store, all the dignitaries and dignitaries in Wu County have been proud of buying underwear. Recently, Gouzi ordered a set of arty ones. At that time, I asked the shopkeeper Yao a few words, and learned that there are no underwear now. Ren ordered Erqiao to sew those styles”

"Hiss, that's how it is."

Sun Quan gasped, thinking that he was still careless, knowing that he wanted to gag Long Xiang, and even forgot that Wu Jun still had Yao Xuan, but this kind of deception can only be done once, so he didn't feel annoyed.

He tapped on the table in front of him lightly, and explained confidently: "Don't worry, Mr. Zhang. I understand that everything will be covered by rain and dew. At that time, Zi Gang was passing through Hefei to deliver underwear. I asked him to meet Long Xiang, so that we can temporarily reunite." Talk about it, when Bo Hai is redeemed from Shouchun, Ren Longxiang can talk back as much as he likes."

Zhang Zhao hastily asked, "What good did my lord promise Long Xiang?"

"I know I can't hide it from Mr. Zhang." Sun Quan said with a smile, "I approve of Long Xiang as the prefect of Lujiang. Anyway, Lujiang is now deserted. It is better to give him a title than money and food."

Zhang Zhao frowned and stroked his beard, and muttered to himself: "Long Xiang was born in Qingping, he rarely suffers from doing things, the lord just gave him a false name, and he actually agreed?"

Sun Quan replied: "The prefect of Lujiang didn't express his position, which shows that he wants this prefect in his heart, and he clearly agrees that the matter of underwear should not be asked."

Zhang Zhao still frowned, and reminded: "I'm afraid that Cao Cao and Yuan Shao will stay at each other for too long, and no one will wear underwear for him to admire at the front. If Bohai (Sun He) cannot be released for a long time, Huainan will not be able to stay behind." Is it still pending? My lord should have an alternative plan."

Sun Quan heard something in Zhang Zhao's words, and suddenly supported the case with both hands and leaned forward.

"Could it be that Mr. Zhang has a new candidate?"

"My lord is not yet a father, so I don't know how much parents care about their children. If the third son can be entrusted with important tasks, I believe the old lady will feel more at ease, and she will also feel the lord's filial piety."

Zhang Zhao looked at Sun Quan meaningfully, and said to himself that I have already reminded you clearly, don't be stupid because of this matter, if you are called unfilial, your position as Marquis of Wu will be even more unstable.

"Mr. Zhang is justified. Since Uncle Bi is favored by everyone, I will let him govern Danyang. I have to ask Mr. Zhang to present to the court, but..."

Sun Quan made this decision with great difficulty. It was impossible for him to give in to both appointments, so he changed the subject and said: "Since Uncle Bi is the prefect of Danyang, uncle should stay in the rear of Wu County. I originally wanted Bohai to stay in Huainan, but Fearing that Cao Cao will not reply, Mr. Zhang must recommend someone today."
