Zhang Zhao did not answer immediately, but remained silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

Sun Quan gently put the memorials and official documents back on the desk, and arranged them in order according to the importance of distribution.

"I remember that when he was appointed as the county magistrate of Yangxian County, Zhang Gong was still young and he was clearly in Wu County. He often wrote letters to teach Quan earnestly. However, after something happened, Zhang Gong rarely taught Quan again. I've said it." Recalling these past events, Sun Quan was very emotional. Even if he made mistakes back then, his brothers would always protect him.

"Mencius said, 'Both parents are present, and parents have no reason, which is one kind of happiness.' But now that both father and brother are gone, the widowed mother is left alone to support and comfort her. 'To look up to God and not to be ashamed of others, to bow down not to be cowardly to others, these are the two kinds of happiness.' But there are many people who are ashamed of their power. "It is the three joys to obtain the world's talents and educate them." However, in the land of Jiangdong, although there are many talents, they cannot be used. The legacy left by the eldest brother is indeed " The road is long and the journey is long!"

Zhang Zhao's eyes were dim and undifferentiated, and his tone was still very cold, "Since the Second Young Master is here today and has spoken so many words with me, I think he is not just here to chat with me, so the Second Young Master might as well speak frankly."

"Early tomorrow morning, Quan will go out in private to inspect the military camp. May I ask, sir, if you are willing to go with Quan?" Sun Quan's eyes were glaring, waiting for an answer from Zhang Zhao.

Zhang Zhao asked Sun Quan, "If I go with you, what do you want? If I don't want to go with you, what do you want?"

Sun Quan said, "If you go with Quan, you will be acting as your brother and for Quan to stabilize the morale of the army. If you don't want to go with you, you will stay in the county to stabilize the internal affairs of the rear for Quan."

Zhang Zhao shook his head, "That's wrong. If I go with you, I will win over the hearts of the Jiangdong nobles and attract the talents from the south of the Yangtze River for your use. If I refuse to accompany you, you will be disobeying the king's order. If he has a different intention, he should be killed to avoid future troubles. Even if it doesn't work, he should be replaced by other princes and imprisoned until death. Master, if you think so, you should do the same."

Sun Quan's eyes were slightly cold, "Sir, your status is precious, Quan doesn't dare to do this."

Zhang Zhao said, "Why do you think the Second Young Master wants to choose the Third Young Master between the Second Young Master and the Third Young Master?"

Of course Sun Quan didn't know.

"As a master, you must be able to bear the burden of the past, conquer the great hall, and achieve great achievements. Now the world is in a state of chaos, and the mountains are full of thieves, but the second son lies in mourning, feeling like a common man." Zhang Zhao thought of Sun Quan's visit to Sun Ce in recent days. Zhang Zhao couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when he was burdened by personal affairs at such a critical time.

Although Sun Yi was not a good candidate, he was always ready to take action after his brother's funeral. He was ambitious and had unfavorable advice.But for Zhang Zhao, neither was Sun Quan.

If you care too much about personal relationships, it will be difficult to treat your subordinates fairly and honestly. Sun Quan was like this when Yangxian County protected Zhou Gu, and he is still like this when facing the death of Jiangdong.

How could he believe that such an ambitious young man as Sun Quan could safeguard Jiangdong's foundation?

The news of Sun Ce's death spread to the princes within two or three days at most. Cao Cao and Yuan Shao in the north, Liu Biao in the west, Liu Bei in Xuzhou, and the leaders of Baiyue in the south. Would they pity Sun Quan for his young ability to control the industry and Gu Quan? People in Jiangdong are uneasy and take advantage of this opportunity to bite off a piece of Jiangdong's flesh?

Previously, Jiangdong had only heard that Sun Ce had been injured by an assassin. The fact that he had not left the gate of Sun's mansion for several days had already attracted many attempts from enemies in the four realms. Fortunately, Jiangdong's generals were still united and did not reveal any flaws.Earlier, Sun Ce faked his own death to seize the land of Runan and Yingchuan. Everyone wondered whether Jiangdong was repeating his old tricks, and they didn't know whether Jiangdong was true or not. This temporarily frightened everyone.Zhang Zhao now hates and blames Sun Quan deeply!

After listening to Zhang Zhao's heartfelt words, Sun Quan understood his good intentions and sighed softly, "Mr. Quan's words are exactly the same as Mrs. Quan's. Quan has been taught a lesson. Mr. Quan is ashamed of his loyalty. Please give me more thanks." Mr. Quan has been entrusted with the honor of paying homage. He forgives Quan for his youthful spirit and does not hesitate to teach him. He supports Quan to pursue the great cause of Jiangdong!"

Sun Quan bowed his head and worshiped, and his words were sincere and touching, "Quan lost his father when he was young, and now he has lost the protection of his brother. No one has ever taught Quan like this like Mr. Zhang. He is so frightened that he can't sleep peacefully every night."

If Duke Zhang is willing, Quan would like to worship Duke Zhang as his teacher. If he can have Duke Zhang at his side to advise and admonish him at all times, it will be worth a hundred times more than gold, silver, cloth and silk. "

Zhang Zhao did not expect that Sun Quan would actually bow down, and the indifference on his face finally became unbearable. He stretched out his hand to help Sun Quan up, feeling very shocked in his heart.He came from a noble family and went south to Jiangdong to seek refuge. Sun Ce had previously compared him to Guan Zhong, and now he was able to gain Sun Quan's wholehearted trust and worship him as his teacher. For him, he had the trust of two generations of lords and his scholars were his confidants. If he dies, what more can he ask for, Zhang Zhaofu?
The next day, before dawn, Sun Quan took Youxun and others and got up to patrol the camp. Before leaving, he held hands and explained to Qiao Wei, "If you feel tired, please explain some affairs to Mrs. Yuan. Cao Cao is eyeing Jiangdong, and it is imperative to have good relations with the Yuan family in Runan."

Qiao Wei nodded and said he understood.

Sun Quan added, "I'm not here, and Shubi... will certainly have a lot of complaints, and he won't be too polite to you. You should handle it carefully and wait until I come back."

"As long as I don't hurt his life, can I do anything?"

Sun Quan's eyes widened slightly, "Are you worried about my death-free gold medal?"

If it were anyone else, Sun Quan could be merciless, but for Sun Yi...Sun Quan often felt that he had no way to deal with him. After all, he was a sibling, and he had to take his mother's thoughts into consideration.

"Yes. Give it?" Qiao Wei met Sun Quan's eyes without fear. She was also testing how far Sun Quan could tolerate Sun Yi.

Now, Sun Yi's ambition has been exposed, and Qiao Wei has to guard against it. After all, Qiao Wei doesn't want to hold back on matters involving her family and life. She even temporarily sent Qiao Rong back to Wancheng for resettlement, with the intention of sending Sun Yi away. His plot was put to death in his infancy.

After being silent for a long time, Sun Quan hugged Qiao Wei and said, "The Sun family cannot have chaos now. If you are unable to stop it, just protect yourself."

She and her children are still the most important thing.

But Qiao Wei used her own understanding to do some reading and understanding. Sun Quan agreed with the plan she told him when she got up early, to control Sun Yi in the house and not to go out to cause trouble to Sun Quan, at least not to come out to cause trouble to Sun Quan at this time. .

Sun Quan wanted to gain righteousness in front of the generals and control the military power by patrolling the camp. He also wanted Sun Yi to retreat when he saw the difficulties, so as to avoid the disaster of fratricide and preserve the last bit of brotherhood.
