Chapter 888 Troubled Times Heroic Chapter Wins Central Plains
In March, Caishiji.

Zhou Yu's navy marched into Caishiji in mighty force.

Cheng Pu, Zhang Hong, Jiang Qin, and Zhou Tai led more than 500 warships along the river, ready for battle.

Zhou Yu took a small boat and hurried to Sun Ce's handsome boat.When Cheng Pu, Zhang Hong and other Jiangdong civil and military officials saw Zhou Yu's stern expression and murderous approach, they were all frightened and uneasy.

Zhou Yu didn't see Sun Ce, Sun Ben, Sun Quan and others on the handsome boat. Zhou Yu had already made up his mind, and asked, "Brother Bofu, how is your injury?"

The faces of Cheng Pu and the others changed suddenly, their mouths were tongue-tied, and they dared not speak for a long time.Zhang Hong was relatively calm. He forced a smile, bowed and said, "Gongjin misunderstood. Master Sun had no choice but to withdraw troops quickly. There was a rebellion in the Yuhang and Qiantang areas of Kuaiji County, and the thieves were very powerful..."

"Hmph..." Zhou Yu raised his sword eyebrows, glared at Zhang Hong, and sneered a few times.

"Gongjin, we were defeated at the Sheying Pavilion near Chaohu Lake. The morale of the army has been lost. If we fight again, we will only increase casualties. Withdrawing our troops at this time, although Lujiang River is lost, we can ensure that Jiangdong is not lost..."

"Jiangdong is not lost? It's a joke. Lujiang is lost, Jiujiang has not been taken, and the two counties in Jiangbei are all under Cao Cao's control. He can fight over at any time, but there is a rebellion in Jiangdong, and he is too busy to take care of himself. How can he have the spare power to resist Cao Cao's attack? How could Jiangdong not be lost when we were attacked before and after?" Zhou Yu slapped the table with his palm, and roared angrily, "Do you have any brains? Death is imminent, and you can't trust each other and work together to defend Jiangdong, but here Suspicious of each other, wary of each other. The enemy is in Jiangbei, in Jingzhou, not in Jiangdong, not in my own home, not me, Zhou Yu."

Zhou Yu's roar echoed in the cabin, hitting the hearts of Jiangdong's generals hard.Cheng Pu and the others looked ashamed and bowed their heads in silence.

"How is Bofu's injury?" Zhou Yu stood up abruptly, waving his arms vigorously, and shouted, "If Bofu is in danger, the Jiangdong Navy must use all its warships, from Dantu in Wujun to Chaisang in Yuzhang, 1000 soldiers will be sent to the river. The intensive defense on the Duoli River prevents the joint attack of Cao Cao and Liu Biao. The infantry armies of the four counties in Jiangdong must also immediately move out of the major cities in various places to deter and suppress the rebels who take the opportunity to rebel, so as to quickly stabilize Jiangdong and ensure that Jiangdong does not lose .”

"If Bofu's injury is not serious, there is no need for you to abandon Lujiang and retreat to Jiangdong. You should join me in defending Wancheng and Juchao, waiting for an opportunity to defeat Cao Cao and Yuan Yao, recapture Lujiang, and occupy Jiujiang County. Jiangbei two counties The importance of Jiangdong is self-evident, without the two counties in Jiangbei, Jiangdong is not only under the attack of the enemy, but also loses the forward position to attack the Central Plains in the north, and the difficulty of going north in the future will be greatly increased."

Cheng Pu's heart was moved, but he stopped talking.Zhang Hong hesitated for a long time, and finally squeezed out a few words, "My lord's injuries are serious, but they are under control, and my life is safe."

Zhou Yu sneered repeatedly, and strode out of the cabin.When he got near the cabin door, Zhou Yu stopped, turned his head to look at the frightened gang of Jiangdong officials, and said in a hateful voice: "My lords, please tell Brother Bo Fu that Jiangdong is in danger at this time. Believe me. I, Zhou Yu, am not a jackal or a treacherous person, and I will not take advantage of my brother's precarious situation to provoke internal strife and seize other people's inheritance. Jiangdong is like a crumbling warship struggling in the rough waters. On the surface of the sea, we are all lost on this warship, if we want to survive, if we want to defend Jiangdong, we must show our hearts and help each other in the same boat, otherwise, the ship will be destroyed and everyone will die.

Zhou Yu kicked open the hatch and walked away.

Zhang Hong suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly chased him out, "Gongjin, Gongjin... let's give up on Lujiang for now, don't fight anymore."

Zhou Yu didn't look back, just waved his hand and left quickly.

At the end of March, Sun Ce's navy and Chen Bing were on the line of Dantu and Wuhu, Zhou Yu's navy and Chen Bing were on the line of Chungu and Chaisang, and confronted Cao Cao's army across the river.

At the same time, the Jiangdong infantry army quickly rushed to the main cities of Danyang, Wu County and Kuaiji County, patrolling day and night to prevent accidents.

Part of Zhou Yu's infantry army stayed in Nanchang, and the other part sailed eastward by boat, stationed in Wancheng, Juchao and Caishiji.

Cao Cao kept his promise and led his troops to retreat to Jiujiang County.After Cao Cao severely damaged the Jiangdong Army, he was able to gain a firm foothold in Jiujiang County. However, he was worried that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu would join forces to counterattack Jiujiang from the direction of Liyang. After stabilizing Xuzhou and Jiujiang counties, he would attack Lujiang and go south to Jiangdong to make preparations, so he did not hesitate at all, and generously gave up Lujiang County, and returned to Shouchun to rectify the army first, and went to accumulate food, grass and supplies.

Yuan Yao's troops were limited. Although he took Shucheng by victory, he not only failed to hold Shucheng in the face of Zhou Yu's fierce counterattack, but even lost Longshucheng (now Shucheng County, Anhui, at the eastern foot of Dabie Mountain) , and finally had to retreat to Lu'an and Anfeng.Zhou Yu was worried about the situation in the east of the river, and worried that Cao Cao would take the opportunity to attack Lujiang again, so after thinking twice, he decided to give up going north to attack Yuan Yao, and instead ordered the army to stick to the front lines of Wancheng, Juchao and Shucheng, stationed heavy troops at Caishiji, and prepared to attack Yuanyao. Enter Danyang at any time to save the crisis.

In April of the fourth year of Jianxing in the Han Dynasty (AD 200).

=

At the beginning of April, Moling (now Nanjing) in Danyang County, Yangzhou.

Mrs. Sun and Jiangdong officials tried their best to find the best medical craftsman to treat Sun Ce, but the best medical craftsmen in the world are not in Jiangdong.Master Xiangkai is in Hebei, Master Huatuo is in Central Plains, Master Zhang Ji (Zhang Zhongjing) is in Nanyang, and the best medical craftsman in Jiangdong is Master Yu Ji, but this person was killed by Sun Ce.Those who kill will be killed. Sun Ce failed to escape this curse and finally couldn't hold on anymore.

When he was dying, Sun Ce held his mother in one hand and his wife Qiao in the other, tears streaming down his face.He repeatedly told Sun Quan who was standing by the bed that he must serve his mother well and not let her suffer such pain again.

"In my whole life, I am the most sorry for my mother. I disobeyed my mother's words and killed me wantonly. The crime is so serious that I have today's disaster. After I die, you have to listen to my mother's words and don't make the same mistakes again. Remember to remember."

Sun Quan cried and begged to be taught, "Brother, you are gone, how can I guard Jiangdong?"

Sun Ce closed his eyes and let out a long sigh, "It is only now that I know that my mother is right. If I listened to my mother, even if I die, how can I leave such a dangerous situation to make you miserable?" Hard to support."

"How many times has my mother persuaded me to treat Gongjin as my brother and trust him, but I have never been able to do so. Maybe it is because Gongjin is better than me in everything. I have hated him since I was a child. I just want to surpass him, but I am still worse than him. Especially what makes me grieve and hate myself the most is that whenever I am in trouble, the first thing I think of is always him. Although Gong Jin is better than him I am young, but he is like my elder brother. Every time I ask for help, he will come to me without hesitation and without hesitation, and give me the greatest help. When I went south to fight Jiangdong, he opened the situation for me. Go north to fight Yuan Shu , he helped me enter Shouchun. Going west to Jingzhou, he helped me kill Huang Zu and avenged my father. Today, I am going to die, and I still want to ask him for help. I hope he can help me defend Jiangdong , to help you stabilize Jiangdong."

Sun Ce raised his head with difficulty, slowly opened his eyes and looked at Sun Quan, and said word by word: "Remember, Gong Jin is your elder brother, your elder brother, you have to trust him as you trust me, when you are in trouble When you are in trouble, you must ask him for help, no matter when and where, you must be the first to think of him, the first to ask for help, he will help you out of danger, and he will help you achieve great things."

"Brother..." Sun Quan was slightly taken aback, hesitated for a moment, and did not speak.

Sun Ce sighed bitterly, lay down on the couch weakly, looked at Mrs. Sun and said sadly: "Mother, Zhongmou, like me, doesn't believe in Gongjin. It seems that he can't keep his foundation in Jiangdong. If the situation gets worse It's critical, you take the whole family to vote for Gongjin and keep the blood of the Sun family."

Mrs. Sun burst into tears, raised her hand and gave Sun Quan two slaps, "Your brother is dead, is there anything wrong with what he said?"

Sun Quan knelt down on the ground, repeatedly kowtowed to plead guilty, and raised his hands to swear that he would regard Zhou Yu as his elder brother and absolutely trust him.

"I know what you are worried about, but if you think about it carefully, you will know that Zhou Yu will never dare to send troops to the east to compete with you for the three counties in Jiangdong." Sun Ce felt relieved when he saw Sun Quan swearing, and explained to him in a low voice, " After the Great War in the Central Plains, the situation in the world has changed. Hebei is imposing like a rainbow, and it will soon sweep the world. In order to prevent Li Hong from usurping the Dahan Sheji, Yuan Shao, Liu Biao, Cao Cao, Liu Bei and others are eager to recover and prepare to join forces to fight Hebei again. Whether Hebei can be defeated or not, no one knows, under such circumstances, the Yangtze River has become the last barrier to prevent Li Hongquan from conquering the world, and stabilizing Jingzhou, Yangzhou, and Yizhou has become the most urgent thing for the coalition forces."

"At present, although there is Zhang Xian's chaos in Jingzhou, Liu Biao will be able to calm down soon. The dispute between Liu Zhang and Zhao Wei in Yizhou is estimated to take some time to decide the winner, but the day when the two decide the winner, Yizhou will be lost. On that day, I can be sure that Yuan Shao and Liu Biao are all focusing on Yizhou at the moment, and they will send troops to attack when the time is right. The situation in Yangzhou is the most chaotic. The two counties in Jiangbei were taken by Cao Cao and Yuan Yao, and the four counties in Jiangdong Let me and Gongjin occupy it, but no matter whether Cao Cao and Yuan Yao fight, or I fight with Gongjin, in the end, it is not the attackers who gain the benefits, but the other opponents who are watching from the sidelines."

"After my death, if the three counties in Jiangdong are not well controlled, there will be rebellion. When Jiangdong rebelled, Cao Cao and Yuan Yao in Jiangbei would surely take advantage of the situation and go south, and Jiangdong would fall into a crisis immediately. When Jiangdong fell into crisis, the most nervous person is not us, but Gong Jin."

"Gongjin now has only one Yuzhang County. He faces Liu Biao to the west, Cao Cao and Yuan Yao to the north, and us to the east. He is surrounded by enemies on three sides. If he is not careful, the whole army will be wiped out. Therefore, he is most worried about the appearance of Jiangdong. The chaos gave Cao Cao and Yuan Yao the opportunity to go down. Cao Cao and Yuan Yao fought to Jiangdong, how could Liu Biao let go of this opportunity? At that time, we can retreat to Wujun and Kuaiji, but Zhou Yu was divided and surrounded, and there was no escape. You can escape, but you will perish overnight. The reason why Zhou Yu is currently defending Wancheng and living on the front line of the nest is precisely to prevent this from happening. The reason why I hurriedly withdrew from Lujiang was precisely to drag his army there, so that he would Even if you want to seize the three counties in Jiangdong, you have no time to divide your troops."

"The situation in Jiangdong has become a deadly chess game. If Gongjin wants to survive, he must defend Lujiang, ensure the stability of the three counties in Jiangdong, and work together with me. After I die, in order to ensure the stability of the three counties in Jiangdong, Gong Jin must Jin has to help you wholeheartedly, otherwise, Jiangdong will be lost, and everyone will die together."

"What about the future? What will we do in the future?" Sun Quan asked.

Sun Ce was probably tired and didn't speak for a long time.

"Big brother..."

"The future is your business, and I can only help you so much." Sun Ce loosened his hand and held Mrs. Sun's hand, gently touching Sun Quan's face, "The future will be your world."

That night, Sun Ce passed away at the age of 26.

In April, Zhou Yu received an urgent letter from Mrs. Sun, and after learning that Sun Ce died of serious injuries, he immediately set off for Moling to pay homage.

Zhou Yu's subordinates repeatedly dissuaded him.At this moment, the situation in Jiangdong is critical, and Sun Quan is very likely to kill Zhou Yu, but Zhou Yu has made up his mind and insists on going to Moling.

Sun Quan and Jiangdong officials met him thirty li outside Moling City.Sun Quan was very respectful to each elder brother.When they arrived at the foot of Moling City, Zhou Yu saw Mrs. Sun, Wu Jing, Sun Jing and others coming out to meet her in person. She was so excited that tears filled her eyes, and she prostrated herself on the ground, calling her mother.Mrs. Sun held Zhou Yu in her arms, thinking of the dead Sun Ce, she couldn't help crying with grief.

After paying homage to Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, Sun Quan and other Jiangdong officials discussed the situation in Jiangdong, and they all felt that the situation was grim.Early the next morning, Zhou Yu prepared to leave on the pretext that the battle in Lujiang was tense.Sun Quan, Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong and others tried their best to persuade him to stay, but Zhou Yu was very firm.Sun Quan had no choice but to accompany him to the inner mansion to bid farewell to Mrs. Sun.

Hearing that Zhou Yu was leaving, Mrs. Sun burst into tears, "Why did Gong Jin leave? Jiangdong is in such a critical situation, why can't you stay and help Zhongmou?"

Zhou Yu's eyes were slightly red, and he hung his head in silence.Sun Quan took the opportunity to persuade him again.Zhou Yu looked distressed, "I've already said, as long as I, Zhou Yu, stay here, I will protect Jiangdong from any danger. Please rest assured, old lady and Zhongmou."

"Gongjin, stay here, even if I beg you." Mrs. Sun held Zhou Yu's hand and cried, "Jiangdong is in danger, but Zhongmou is young and unable to control the three counties, please stay." Come down and help."

"It's not that I don't want to stay, but that the battle situation on the front line is too tense." Zhou Yu said helplessly with tears in his eyes, "Once the news spreads that Bo Fu was seriously injured and passed away, Cao Cao and Yuan Yao in Jiangbei, and Liu Biao in Jingzhou will surely be killed." Take the opportunity to attack from two sides. As long as they break through the natural danger of the Yangtze River, I will no longer be able to save the crisis.”

Mrs. Sun shook her head, "Since Gong Jin is determined to leave, let's take the three Jiangdong counties with him."

Zhou Yu was taken aback, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, "Mother, the situation in Jiangdong is extremely serious. The only way to keep Jiangdong is to stick to the natural danger of the Yangtze River. Please put the overall situation first, and don't force me."

At this time, Sun Quan also knelt down beside Mrs. Sun, holding Sun Ce's seal in his hand, and handed it up respectfully, "My lord, my son is incompetent and unable to bear the heavy responsibility of the three Jiangdong counties. Please mother hand over the Jiangdong three counties to my brother." Bar."

Zhou Yu was horrified, cold sweat burst out, and his whole body trembled.If you don't stay today, you won't be able to keep this head anyway.

"Gongjin, take the three counties in Jiangdong." Mrs. Sun slowly brought the seal ribbon in front of Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu knelt on the ground, looked down at the cold ground, and smiled wryly, "Master, I listen to you, I will stay."

"Gongjin..." Mrs. Sun threw her arms around Zhou Yu excitedly, crying uncontrollably, "Son...thank you..."

Sun Quan summoned Jiangdong officials for an emergency meeting.

Hearing that Zhou Yu was going to stay in Moling to assist Sun Quan in stabilizing the four counties in Jiangdong, the officials in Jiangdong immediately cheered, the panic and sorrow in their hearts disappeared instantly, and the haze over Moling disappeared immediately.

=

Sun Ce is the general who seeks captives and supervises the three counties in Jiangdong.Zhou Yu was the general of Jianwei Zhonglang and the prefect of Yuzhang County.The official positions of these two people were all granted by the emperor.Although Sun Quan fought many battles with Sun Ce and made a lot of contributions, so far he is only a school lieutenant and has no official documents from the court. To put it bluntly, he is a commander of Sun Ce's private trilogy.According to the laws of the Han Dynasty, he was neither qualified to supervise the Jiangdong military administration after Sun Ce's death, nor had the right to command and dispatch Zhou Yu and the prefects of various counties with Sun Ce's seal and ribbon.If you want to get to the bottom of it, Sun Quan's practice is a great crime of conspiracy to kill the nine clans.

Now people in the three counties of Jiangdong can raise their troops to revolt at will, and there are very good reasons.What qualifications does Sun Quan have to be in charge of the three counties in Jiangdong?Are the three Jiangdong counties the private property of his grandson's family?Regardless of the law of the Han Dynasty or the patriarchal law of the family, Sun Quan is not qualified to supervise the three counties in Jiangdong, nor is he qualified to inherit Sun Ce's army and property.Sun Quan is now an out-and-out big man rebellious, family rebellious, everyone can punish him.

But Sun Quan is very smart, he will not do such a stupid thing, become the target of public criticism, and plunge the three counties of Jiangdong into the abyss of war.

According to the law of the Han Dynasty, Sun Ce, the general who sought captives, died, and the military and political affairs should be led by Shi Zhang Zhao, the head of the general's mansion.Zhang Zhao's acting powers can only be handed over when a new appointment from the imperial court is made.

Zhang Zhao was a famous scholar in Pengcheng, Xuzhou. He belonged to the exile scholars in Jiangdong, and he was the first subordinate to follow Sun Ce to Jiangdong.Although he was well-known in the Jianghuai area, he was not recognized by the aristocratic family in Jiangdong, and he could not help Sun Quan quickly stabilize the three counties in Jiangdong.Of course, he was even more unable to control the mighty Jiangdong generals.

Now that Zhou Yu stayed in Moling, all the most thorny and difficult problems Sun Quan faced were solved.

Zhou Yu is the general of Jianwei Zhonglang, the second most senior official in Jiangdong after Sun Ce. He nominally supervises the military administration of the four counties in Jiangdong, which fully complies with the provisions of the Han Law. Unable to dispute.

Zhou Yu had an army in his hands, and his force was strong. His public support for Sun Quan was equivalent to a sudden increase in Sun Quan's strength.

So far, Sun Quan has not completely controlled the Jiangdong Army.The composition of the Jiangdong Army is very complicated, including Sun Jian's old subordinates, such as Cheng Pu, Han Dang and others.There are trilogy brought by Sun Ce from Jiangbei, such as Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai and others.There are generals Sun Ce recruited from Jiangdong, such as Dong Xi, Tai Shici and others.There are parts by Wu Jing, Sun Jing, Sun Ben and others.Among these people, Sun Jian's old subordinates and clan armies such as Wu Jing, Sun Jing, and Sun Ben naturally obeyed Mrs. Sun's orders after Sun Ce's death, so as not to be involved in the family power struggle.Behind Sun Quan is Mrs. Sun, and of course Sun Quan has the support of these troops.However, Sun Ce's private troops and Jiangdong generals who are loyal to Sun Ce will not listen to Mrs. Sun. It is this part of the army that Sun Quan cannot directly control, and this part of the army is the main force of the Jiangdong Army. The position is precarious and full of crises.

Zhou Yu stayed in Moling, and the main force of the army was in the area of ​​Wancheng, Juchao, and Caishiji. If there was any disturbance in Moling, Zhou Yu's army could quickly kill it.The Jiangdong generals were under threat, even if they were very dissatisfied with Sun Quan, they did not dare to provoke openly, let alone be dissatisfied and plot evil.Under the escort of Zhou Yu, Sun Quan can successfully inherit Sun Ce's army and property, and gradually establish and consolidate his own power.

In addition, the most important point is that Zhou Yu is now in charge of Jiangdong's military affairs, and he can use his many advantages to help Sun Quan quickly stabilize Jiangdong.

Zhou Yu was born in a prominent family in the Huai River area, and has a deep relationship with many wealthy families in Jiangdong.In the process of stabilizing Jiangdong County, he adopted a completely different method from Sun Ce.Sun Ce killed someone with a knife, Zhou Yu tried his best to appease him.Time has proved that Sun Ce was wrong. The situation in the three Jiangdong counties is still unstable, and after his death, it is on the verge of collapse.Zhou Yu is in charge of Jiangdong's military administration. With what he has done in Yuzhang in the past few years, he can definitely gain the trust of Jiangdong's rich and powerful, and take this opportunity to improve the relationship between the Sun family and Jiangdong's rich and powerful, and ease the conflict between the two parties , Let the situation in Jiangdong stabilize as soon as possible.

=

Zhou Yu stayed in Moling as Jianwei Zhonglang General, and managed Jiangdong affairs together with Shi Zhang Zhao, the chief of the general's mansion.

There are too many problems in front of Zhou Yu at the moment.The first task is to give Sun Quan a legal identity.If Sun Quan could not obtain the legal status of being in charge of Jiangdong for a long time, something would happen to Jiangdong after a long time, and there might even be a big fight within the Sun family.

After Sun Ce was seriously injured, he obviously considered this problem, so he asked Sun Ben to rush to Hebei as quickly as possible.When Sun Jian went north to attack Dong Zhuo, Sun Ben followed in the campaign and had friendship with many generals in Hebei.In the Central Plains War, the Jiangdong Army joined the coalition forces, so it was difficult to reconcile the old relationship with Li Hong in Hebei. In order to ensure the success of the peace negotiation, Sun Ben could only be sent north. Currently, Jiangdong is the only one who has the qualifications to lobby.There was originally a more suitable candidate, and that was Zhu Zhi, but Zhu Zhi, Sun Fu, and Lu Su were wiped out in the Central Plains War together, and his life and death are still uncertain.

The most important reason why Sun Ce wanted to switch to Hebei was to use Hebei's force to hold Cao Cao in Xuzhou and protect Jiangdong. However, Zhou Yu, Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong and others believed that Sun Ce's method was a big fool.

Sun Ce's general seeking captives, Zhou Yu's Jianwei Zhonglang general, and the prefects of the Jiangdong counties were all enshrined by the emperor of Nanyang court. Yes.) Jiangdong has always respected the emperor from top to bottom. Once he changes his course, Jiangdong is very likely to rebel.Except for the dead Sun Ce, everyone including Sun Quan believes that under the current circumstances, switching to Hebei and betraying the emperor of the Nanyang court is tantamount to giving Cao Cao and Liu Biao an excuse to attack Jiangdong.This policy is very wrong.

Zhou Yu made a decisive decision, and then sent envoys to Nanyang to ask for an official position for Sun Quan.

"If Boyang (Sun Ben) negotiates peace with Hebei, and the emperor of the Jinyang court also confers an official position, what should we do?" Zhang Zhao asked.

"Just take it." Zhou Yu said indifferently, "Now that Jiangdong is in danger, it is the safest way to step on two boats. If Cao Cao and Liu Biao attack us, we will vote for Hebei and ask Hebei to send troops to attack Xuzhou. If Hebei is threatened For the survival of Jiangdong, Cao Cao and Liu Biao will definitely negotiate peace with us. At this time, we will help them fight Hebei, take the opportunity to consume the strength of Cao Cao and Liu Biao, and then look for opportunities to attack Jiangbei and Jingzhou to expand Jiangdong's strength."

Zhou Yu's suggestion was approved by everyone, but Zhou Yu's suggestion on the localization of Jiangdong officials was strongly opposed by Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, Qin Song and others.

In order to quickly stabilize, restore and develop the four counties in Jiangdong, Zhou Yu suggested that Sun Quan appease the rich and powerful in Jiangdong and rely on Jiangdong scholars to govern Jiangdong. He believed that this was the easiest, quickest and most effective way to solve the current crisis in Jiangdong.

Although Sun Ce had killed Jiangdong's rich and powerful in the past few years, some influential families with the largest power and broadest foundation in Jiangdong were not killed.

For example, the four great families Zhu, Lu, Gu, and Zhang in Wucheng, Wujun.The Zhu family has Zhu Huan, the Lu family has Lu Ji, the Gu family has Gu Yong, and the Zhang family has Zhang Yun. These four great families are all in the same city, famous in Jiangdong.There are also four great families in Kuaiji County, Yu, Wei, Luo, and He.The Yu family has Yu Fan, the Wei family has Wei Teng, the Luo family has Luo Tong, and the He family has He Qi.Except for Yu Fan and Wei Teng, almost none of these aristocratic families have established themselves in the general's mansion, which is obviously very ignorant of the stability and governance of Jiangdong.

At present, the big officials in Jiangdong's prefectures mainly come from three places.One is exiled scholars, such as Zhang Zhao from Pengcheng, Xuzhou, Zhang Hong from Guangling, Xuzhou, and Lu Fan from Runan. This type of scholars is the most numerous, and most of them occupy prominent positions in Jiangdong's prefectures.One is the scholars in the Huai River area, such as Zhou Yu in Shucheng and Lu Su in Linhuai. These scholars are mainly concentrated under Zhou Yu's subordinates, and there are not many in Sun Ce's mansion.The second is the local scholars in Jiangdong, and there are quite a few scholars of this type in the various mansions, but they are mainly from the Sun clan and relatives. There are very few scholars like Yu Fan who were born in Jiangdong's aristocratic families.

Zhou Yu's proposal touched the interests of exiled scholars, and it is reasonable to receive fierce opposition.

Sun Quan didn't dare to make up his own mind, so he went to consult Mrs. Sun.Mrs. Sun supported Zhou Yu's proposal. He said to Sun Quan, "Your brother has repeatedly warned you to trust Gongjin. Why did you forget it in a blink of an eye?"You go and invite people like Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong, and I will talk to them.
