The Jagged Cavalry of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 544 543 Jingzhou Changes Owner (15)

Seeing Zhu Zhi coming in from the door, Sun Quan quickly hid Zhang Fei's letter, stood up and said to Zhu Zhi, "Master Zhu, why are you here?"

Zhu Zhidao: "My lord is busy with many affairs, I shouldn't bother you about these trivial things, but this matter is of great importance. If I don't tell the lord, I'm afraid I will deceive the lord again. So, I have to Come here in person, I hope the lord will not be angry."

Sun Quan looked at Zhu Zhi with his shrewd eyes, and said slowly: "What's the matter, just tell me."

Only then did Zhu Zhi take out a letter, handed it to Sun Quan, and said respectfully: "My lord, you will know it at a glance!"

"What is this?" Sun Quan glanced at the letter presented by Zhu Zhi, and asked instead of continuing immediately.

"This is a letter from Gouzi to the lord. I happened to meet, so I took the letter here and presented it to the lord." Zhu Zhi said.

Sun Quan frowned and thought to himself, first Zhang Fei sent a letter, and then Zhu Ran sent a letter. These two letters came one after the other. It seems that Lingling's case Things are really unusual.

So Sun Quan reached out to take the letter, opened it, and couldn't help but feel annoyed. The letter contained Zhu Ran's slander and framed Zhang Fei's words, but the reason was still in the handling of Pang Ji. Zhu Ran felt that he was the coach, and he just asked Zhang Fei to help him attack the city. Zhang Fei had no right to let Pang Ji go, and it was because of Pang Ji that he lost his army and killed Pang Ji just to avenge his dead brother. It also played the role of killing chickens and monkeys, letting those who don't surrender them see that this is the end of not surrendering.

Moreover, Zhang Fei came to trouble him afterwards. How could he be contradicted by Zhang Fei, a reckless man like himself, if he hadn't endured it himself, and killed Zhang Fei together.Moreover, Zhu Ran also requested in the letter that Sun Quan order that Zhang Fei be punished for his crime of disrespect, and that Zhang Fei should be removed from his post, and Zhang Fei should not be allowed to stay in Lingling.

At this time, Sun Quan took out Zhang Fei's letter and put it in front of him. After comparing the two letters, Zhang Fei's letter was more like a good report, reporting his achievements in Lingling, and The suggestion on how to govern Jingnan in the future is just a passing mention about Zhu Ran's mishandling of Pang Ji. He believes that Zhu Ran's interference has undermined his strategy. Originally, the prefect of Wuling could surrender without a fight, but After hearing about Pang Ji's incident, he began to actively prepare for defense, as if he wanted to resist to the death.

However, Zhu Ran's letter was full of slander and anger, which made Sun Quan extremely upset, thinking that Zhu Ran was fighting for power with Zhang Fei, and that Zhu Ran's actions were wrong. So slandering his appointees.

Because it was Sun Quan who sent Zhang Fei to lead troops to pacify Jingnan. Of course, Sun Quan only sent Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to pacify Changsha and Guiyang, and did not let him get involved in Lingling and Wuling. Wuling was thrown to Zhu Ran, hoping that people like Zhu Ran could make some more contributions.

But what Sun Quan never dreamed of was that Zhu Ran not only failed to capture Lingling, but was defeated by Pang Ji. Pang Ji won more with less, and he had to ask Guan Yu and Zhang Fei for help.Zhang Fei led the army to rescue Zhu Ran. Instead of being grateful, Zhu Ran vented his anger on Zhang Fei. With such a character, how can he be a general in charge?

Sun Quan suppressed the anger in his heart, and said to Zhu Zhi: "Trust me and read it, you should also read it."

As soon as the words fell, Sun Quan threw Zhu Ran's letter to Zhu Zhi. After Zhu Zhi browsed it quickly, he immediately said to Sun Quan: "My lord, Zhang Fei is so tyrannical and has no superiors. He should be punished severely. If so If all the people are not severely punished, then how will the dog and the lord be able to convince the people?"

Sun Quan sneered, grabbed the letter written by Zhang Fei, and passed it to Zhu Zhi, saying, "This letter was written by Zhang Fei, and it arrived a little earlier than the letter you sent. Take it and have a look."

Zhu Zhi was stunned, and immediately said: "My lord, Zhang Fei must be the one who complained first, my lord must not listen to Zhang Fei's slander."

Sun Quan said with a livid face: "Master Zhu, you should read the contents of the letter first. Do you think it should be something for a person like you to talk about others without evidence?"

Zhu Zhi closed his mouth, but his heart was in a panic, thinking that Zhang Fei must have framed Zhu Ran a lot.However, when Zhu Zhi received Zhang Fei's letter and read it quickly, he was very surprised that the unpleasant incident between Zhang Fei and Zhu Ran was simply mentioned in a few short words in the letter, and he just mentioned it casually. Just a moment, and there is no intention of slandering or slandering Zhu Ran at all. How could the villain complain first?

Immediately, Zhu Zhi's face became hot. Comparing the two letters between Zhang Fei and his son Zhu Ran, it seemed that it was his son Zhu Ran who was the one who sued.

Zhu Zhi blushed, stood there without saying a word, but felt very melancholy in his heart.Zhu Ran is his son, he knows better than anyone else, this matter must be Zhu Ran's fault, otherwise, Zhu Ran would not hastily send his confidant to deliver the letter home, and asked him to pass the letter to Sun Quan.

No wonder, Zhu Zhi doted on his son so much that after hearing what Zhu Ran's confidant said, he was very angry, didn't understand the whole thing at all, and brought Zhu Ran's letter to see Sun Quan.

In this way, Zhu Ran is equivalent to involving Zhu Zhi.

"This scoundrel, you've ruined me!" Zhu Zhi said angrily.

However, in front of Sun Quan, Zhu Zhi couldn't get angry. Regarding Zhu Ran's actions, Zhu Zhi could only adopt the method of killing relatives righteously, otherwise, even he would be implicated.But based on Zhu Zhi's years of hard work serving the Sun family, even if Sun Quan wanted to punish Zhu Ran, it would not be too heavy.

Therefore, Zhu Zhi immediately changed his appearance in front of Sun Quan, and said to Sun Quan: "My lord, this matter is not good for the dog. The dog ruined General Zhang's great affairs, and the villain complained first. I am here to pray for the lord's peace." Punish the dog!"

Sun Quan said: "The right and wrong between the two of them may just be due to lack of communication, and they don't have any grievances, so heavy punishment is unnecessary. It's just that the attitudes of the two of them towards this matter are quite different. Take a look. How generous Zhang Fei is, he didn't take this matter to heart at all, but looking at Zhu Ran again, he is not calm when things happen, even if he did something wrong, he doesn't repent, instead he framed Zhang Fei and slandered Zhang Fei. Fei, how can such a person be alone?"

It was only at this time that Zhu Zhi recalled why Sun Quan would suddenly say that when he entered the door. It turned out that it was all because of his son Zhu Ran.

It seems that Zhu Ran did go too far in this matter, otherwise, Sun Quan would not be so angry.The most important thing is that Zhang Fei was sent by Sun Quan himself, and Zhu Ran didn't look at the situation, so he belittled himself like this, and in the end, Zhu Zhi was involved. No wonder Sun Quan said he couldn't be alone.

If it were Zhu Zhi, Zhu Zhi would be very angry.It's really not enough for success, but more than failure.

Sun Quan saw a trace of guilt on Zhu Zhi's face, and Zhu Zhi is also a veteran of Jiangdong, and he has made a lot of contributions to their Sun family, so he can't go too far.

So, Sun Quan said to Zhu Zhi: "Whether Zhu Ran is right or wrong in this matter, as the commander in chief of the army, how could he be so restless? Your spirit. You came at the right time, and it is not appropriate to publicize this matter. You can go to Lingling on my behalf and teach Zhu Ran face to face. Then, let Zhu Ran take his subordinates back to the Go to Guangzhou, continue to be his governor of Guangzhou, and have to deeply reflect on yourself. As for Tan Xiong, Pan Zhang, Ling Cao and others, they will temporarily belong to Zhang Fei's subordinates, and let them all return when Wuling County is captured. Guangzhou."

"Here!" Zhu Zhi bowed respectfully, "If the lord has nothing to do, then the subordinate will leave first."

"Wait!" Sun Quan suddenly remembered something, and said to Zhu Zhi, "Wait a moment, I still have a letter of appointment here, after it is written, you will take it to Lingling together, and take them Call them all together and read them out in public!"

As soon as the words fell, Sun Quan took out the pen and paper, began to write the letter of appointment, and finally stamped his own seal and ribbon.

Finally, Sun Quan handed over the letter of appointment to Zhu Zhi, and asked Zhu Zhi to take the letter of appointment directly to Lingling.

After Zhu Zhi received Sun Quan's letter of appointment, he left the government office. When he returned home, he opened the letter of appointment, and saw that Zhang Fei was appointed as the left governor of Jingnan, and Guan Yu was appointed the right governor of Jingnan. Guan Yu is in charge of the two counties of Changsha and Guiyang, and Zhang Fei is in charge of the management of the two counties of Lingling and Wuling. His position is higher than that of the prefect, and he holds the military power in Jingnan. .

After seeing these, Zhu Zhi felt aggrieved. If Zhu Ran could successfully conquer Lingling and Wuling this time, it would be a great achievement.Although Sun Quan did not punish Zhu Ran, it left a very bad impression in Sun Quan's heart.

Since Zhu Ran was a child, Zhu Zhi sent Zhu Ran to Sun Quan's side, and asked him to protect Sun Quan in everything, because he could see that Sun Quan was a man of great wealth and greatness, and would become a great event in the future, so he made this decision He made an arrangement in advance so that Zhu Ran and Sun Quan could grow up together.

Zhu Ran and Sun Quan were about the same age and good playmates. This is why Sun Quan did not appoint a steady veteran to be the governor of Guangzhou after pacifying Jiaozhou, but appointed Zhu Ran.

Zhu Zhi served Sun Jian and Sun Ce, while Zhu Ran grew up with Sun Quan. It has to be said that the Zhu family is very important in Sun's heart.Those who have the same treatment as the Zhu family also have Zhou Yu and Lu Fan. These are people who share the troubles with the Sun family. Therefore, apart from the Sun family, Jiangdong is the most wealthy of these families, and they are the officials from all over the country. object.

Zhu Zhi sighed heavily, tidied up his clothes, took his two servants with him, and left the house, took a boat to Lingling.
