The most poisonous person in the Three Kingdoms, Boss Cao advised me to calm down!

Chapter 166 The independent man’s heart becomes increasingly arrogant
Zhang Zhao shook his head when he heard this and said:
"Appease the people and promote generals."

"A strong horse and a strong soldier, to avenge my father."

"There is nothing wrong with what you do."

"But the late Lord said this before he died."

"If things go wrong in the separatist regime east of the Yangtze River, Xu Tuxi will return to the Central Plains."

"Have you forgotten this matter?"

Although Sun was originally from Wu County, he started his career under Yuan Shu.

He still came back with soldiers to kill him!
Therefore, in the eyes of many local scholars in Jiangdong.

They are still outsiders after all.

At that time, Sun Ce was killing people in Jiangdong.

"Since the Yellow Turban rebellion, the world has been in turmoil for thirty years!"

If Zhongmou does not do anything, you will take it yourself.

"How many scholars were killed? How many civilians were left dead in the mountains?"

I can't defeat Zhengyi, so I slowly return to the west without any worries.

"If we continue to resist the imperial court, I don't know how many people will die in war."

In fact, the power of deposing and establishing was entrusted to Zhang Zhao.

"If I give up my father and brother's inheritance."

"How can I face my father and brother after my death?"

"Didn't I, Shan Jiangdong, shed enough blood?"

When Zhang Zhao heard this, he bowed and said:
"I am loyal and I dare not act rashly."

"Of course I don't doubt this."

It was precisely for this reason that the local officials followed the Jiangbei scholars in making noise.

"What Mr. Zhang said is true. My eldest brother said this back then."

"And I have not forgotten the first half of the sentence."

Zhang Zhao was stung by these words and said with indignation:

"At the time of Yuan Dynasty, Duke Zhang handed over his power."

Therefore, before Sun Ce died, he was afraid that Sun Quan would not be able to convince the public because he was young.

"Kang Junhou surrendered without losing his title of prince."

"Could it be that I am advising you to surrender to the imperial court just for my own selfish gain?"

Thinking of this, Sun Quan's eyes flashed and he said:

"Now the north is at peace, and all the princes are in compliance. Only my corner to the southeast is left."

He often killed entire families, massacred three tribes, and had growing grudges with the local nobles.

But he couldn't stop the anger in his chest and said righteously:

"Who is this person who only pursues his own selfish interests?!"

When Sun Quan heard this, he was so angry that he trembled all over.

"In the face of great righteousness, a gentleman will not evade death!"

Otherwise, there would not have been the assassination by Xu Gong later.

The more he talked, the angrier he became. He didn't even notice that Sun Quan's face was getting darker and darker.

"Just now, your Majesty said that I care about personal gain!"

"My lord, you underestimate me too much!"

"You don't have to worry about your future!"

"Just think about the people of Jiangdong, why not?"

But when it came to this, he changed his tone and said:

Only then did he entrust Zhang Zhao with full authority over military and political affairs, and told him:

"Confucius said it was benevolence, Mencius said it was righteousness!"

"Destroy the lives of the six counties!"

Looking at the officials in Jiangdong, Zhang Zhao is the only one.

"Loyalty is evident."

Immediately shouted: "Shut up!"

"But Xu Tu's return to the west does not mean he surrenders to Cao Cao!"

Sun Quan nodded when he saw this and said:

Dare to accuse Sun Quan with such fierce words.

If it had been someone else who had done it, he would have died!
But Zhang Zhao just acted as if he didn't hear anything and continued chattering:
"In the past, your Majesty raised troops to attack Dong Zhuo in order to stabilize the world!"

"Today the next unification is within reach."

"How can a prince become a traitor who splits the country?!"

At this time, Sun Quan was completely angered!

"Zhang Zibu! Shut up! Shut up!"

He roared loudly throughout the hall!
He was so angry that he suddenly stood up and kicked the desk in front of him upside down!
He turned around and wanted to draw his sword to kill!
But Zhang Zhao refused to hide or run away, and just stood there stiff-necked and looked at him.

Although Sun Quan's heart was filled with hatred, his teeth itched with hatred. But he didn't dare to attack this loyal minister and teacher!
At this time, he turned away and didn't want to look at Zhang Zhao anymore.

I am afraid that I will make a big mistake out of a moment of anger!
The hand holding the sword hilt trembled for a long time.

In the end, he became angry and threw the sword to the ground.

He broke the jar and said:

"Yes! You're right! I, Sun Quan, just won't give in!"

"What protects the Han Dynasty? What saves the people?"

"Those are all self-deceiving words!"

"What I want is to separate the southeast and dominate the world!"

"I just want to follow the example of the Chu overlords of the past who sealed the territories!"

"Achievements for my Sun family for a long time!"

"Let my father and brother's spirits in heaven see."

"I, Sun Quan, am also a man of the world!"

"Now that I have made up my mind, what will you do next?"

At this time, Sun Quan openly revealed his ambitions.

Now, it was Zhang Zhao's turn to be speechless.

The truth is always just the truth.

There is no basis for absolute power.

Always looks so pale and weak.

Sun Quan also gradually calmed down his anger at this time.

He said in a very cold tone:
"Don't talk to me about the righteousness of a gentleman from now on."

"In a time of great strife, the strong are respected!"

"Today's world is not dominated by one person!"

"Cao Cao now dominates the north, and I can also compete in the Central Plains!"

"All things are born the same. Do princes, princes and generals have the same kind of relationship?"

"Let you pedantic people take a look."

"I, Sun Quan, also have the ambition to conquer the world!"

After saying that, Sun Quan immediately walked away, leaving Zhang Zhao dumbfounded.

At this moment, he watched helplessly as the young man left.

I also have mixed feelings in my heart, and I can’t help but ask myself:
Is this still the child who cried endlessly before his brother's death?
Is he still the young master who worked so hard to support Zhang Zhao when he was in danger?
He is clearly another lonely man similar to Jie and Zhou!
But he could only look at this boy's ambition.

Pushing Jiangdong into the abyss step by step!

And just when the emperor and ministers in Jiangdong were at odds with each other.

The news that Jiangdong mobilized his army here has also reached Xiangyang.

At this time, in the Prefect's Mansion, General Jin was appointed by Cao Cao to take charge of Jingxiang.

He was discussing countermeasures with a middle-aged scholar.

And this scholar is Liu Ba Liu Zichu, a famous scholar in Lingling.

He had just been appointed as the chief historian by Cao Cao.

As Yu Jin's deputy in charge of Jingzhou.

Although this person's reputation is not as loud as Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong.

But he is also a rare talent among Jingzhou scholars.

Hearing that Liu Ba was an outlier among Jingzhou scholars,
Not that he looked weird.

On the contrary, he was tall and mighty, with a majestic face and very magnanimous appearance.

Rather, he was behaving strangely and seemed out of tune with the people around him.

Not to mention that Liu Ba himself disdains friendship with people from Jingzhou.

Even the local scholars in Jingzhou had taken the initiative to isolate this person.

The current Jingzhou scholars are basically divided into two groups.

One faction is the power faction headed by Cai Mao and Kuai Yue.

These people had their hearts set on Cao Cao after Liu Biao's death.

The other faction is the Qingliu celebrities headed by Pang Degong, Sima Wei and others.

These people more or less hate Cao Cao.

As a result, many of their disciples and former officials were dissatisfied with Cao Cao.

He would rather defect to Liu Bei than serve Cao Cao.

And this group is all depressed and frustrated.

They are all outsiders, celebrities, or hermits.

Liu Ba originally belonged to the opposition faction.

But it is exactly the opposite of these celebrities.

Because this person came out of the famous pro-Cao faction.
