Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 2372 Under Desire

  It is easier to do something you like.

   Is it wrong to like one thing?

  In the same way, is it wrong to not like one thing?

  Sun Quan thinks so, is this wrong?

  Everyone has their own desires, things they like, and things they want, but not all the things under their desires can be placed on the table openly...

   More often, it's like the immediate situation.

  Under the table, there are a bunch of lowered heads and raised buttocks.

  Sun Quan felt that what he was facing was not individual people, but piles of graves.

  The black crown stands in front of the black round buttocks, like a tombstone standing in front of a grave.

  Under these graves, buried, or about to be buried, is the flesh and soul of the Sun family.

  Although Sun Quan sat in a high position, he felt that he was surrounded by these "graves", and then he would be dragged into the darkness and buried until he could not see the light of day.

  The noisy voices come and go...

  『My lord, think twice! 』

  『Master must not! 』

  『My lord, please take it back! 』

  『My lord’s action is tantamount to wasting people’s money and harming Jiangdong! 』

  『…』

  Sometimes old, or deep, or sharp voices sounded, chaotic, overlapping, like waves, slapping on the steps in front of Sun Quan, hitting the table in front of Sun Quan.

  Sun Quan touched the table case. On the table case, black lacquer is used as the base, and red lacquer is used as the pattern, outlining a seal script of "Sun".

  The characters are like blood.

   It took three generations of the Sun family to engrave the word "Sun" in Jiangdong.

Sun Jian risked his life in the early years and changed to Changsha prefect, but at that time, Changsha was located in a remote area, full of powerful people, and the mountains were rampant. Sun Quan has no way to completely control Changsha County, and there are still some counties that are only attached in name.

  A county town made of iron, a banner of flowing water.

  In the era of Sun Ce, it was even more difficult.

The Eastern Han Dynasty was an era of guarding the family. The Sun family came from a poor family, and in the eyes of these powerful gentry, they were the untouchables in the countryside. So when Sun Ce smiled and passed cigarettes to these powerful people, these powerful people directly gave Sun Ce a big mouth. The tempered Sun Ce raised his knife and dropped it, and many heads fell to the ground.

  This is Sun Ce's attitude, if you hit me in the face, I will kill you.

  Sun Ce took control of Jiangdong by force, with the butcher's knife lit, he killed heads rolling and the family was wiped out!

  Sun Ce is happy.

  The Jiangdong gentry were not happy anymore, but because of Sun Ce's power, these tyrants temporarily bowed their heads, but their small actions would not stop.

  Sun Ce was subsequently assassinated.

  When the boss of the Sun family died, the foundation of the Sun family was shaken on the spot, and it was in jeopardy.

  And this was the situation Sun Quan faced at that time.

  The Jiangdong he took over was not a piece of wealth, but a huge hot potato, and this potato had a mouth full of fangs. If you were not careful, your hand would be bitten off, the meat would be swallowed, and you would die.

Zhou Yu, Zhang Zhao, Madam Wu, etc. saw the huge risks involved, and everyone was extremely nervous. They didn't even have time to make any trade-offs and considerations, and they didn't have time to deliberate and screen slowly. They could only push Sun Quan immediately. Up the steps, before the throne.

  For a huge crater, there must always be a **** to go down.

  As for what happened to Sun Quan's chrysanthemum, or an accident, not many people cared.

   Didn't even leave Sun Quan much time to cry and grieve, or to think about whether his own chrysanthemum is up to the task.

In all fairness, when he ascended the throne as the king of a country, if he really had any dazzling achievements and strong confidence, then when he ascended to the position, there must be a historian who was responsible for advocating it, but unfortunately, when Sun Quan crouched on the crater , There is nothing worth writing about, Chen Shoudu can only write a paragraph dryly, just saying that before Sun Quan, he became a county magistrate, and then he was promoted as a talented person and participated in a battle.

   And then gone.

   What outstanding governance work did the county magistrate do during his time? What is Ju Maocai's talent? Is there any special attack in the battle? Obviously, none, or not worth mentioning at all.

  Before he died, Sun Ce told Sun Quan, "Appoint the virtuous and capable, and each do his best to protect Jiangdong. I am not as good as you..."

   What does this sentence mean?

   It sounds like Sun Ce's admiration for Sun Quan, but in fact, it is not. At the last moment of his life, Sun Ce put some oil and powder on Sun Quan's body, enlightened him, and told everyone that Sun Quan still has some skills, not a **** or a fool, not randomly selected by the Sun family to fool everyone. Sun Ce was secretly comforting Sun Quan, take it easy, the big deal is "to protect Jiangdong", and there is no need for too much pressure.

  Brother, I know how much weight you have, so don’t worry about the hatred of the Sun family, forget it, if you can keep the Sun family’s foundation, you are capable...

   After Sun Ce finished speaking, he died.

  Sun Quan, who had just ascended the throne, stared and could only compromise.

  Even if Sun Quan doesn't like to do this, he can only do so.

   First seek to survive, and then talk about other things.

Sun Quan adopted a different policy from Sun Ce. He reconciled with the powerful gentry, gave a large number of official positions to their children, and adopted a policy that was quite beneficial to the family, that is, the hereditary leader system and the land occupation system. The former allowed private armed forces to be legal Inheritance, the latter directly exempted the rich peasants from corvee and taxes.

  Jiangdong gentry danced their crowns to celebrate, worshiped at Sun Quan's feet, and shouted that the lord is wise!

  These two policies have brought huge benefits to the Sun regime in the early stage. The powerful gentry actively participated in the construction of Jiangdong, and the rich and powerful contributed money. Jiangdong immediately recovered from the chaos and flourished.

Just like when Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was in the early days of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, there were beacons everywhere in China, and emergency documents from all over the country flew like snowflakes, almost submerging the Chongde Hall, and the Yellow Turban soldiers were about to sweep the country. Emperor Ling announced that the party shackles would be lifted, and scholars could be officials again. Not long after, the yellow scarves were torn apart, 300,000 beheaded, the rivers were blocked, and the capital was piled up under the city. Even the dead Zhang Jiao could be pulled out of the coffin and cut down again. head at a time.

  Similarly, with money, people, and food, Sun Quan seems to have upgraded directly from a dog to LV999, paralyzed and slaying dragons, and covered in magical costumes.

  The rebellions of the past are gone.

   Shanyue, who was looting everywhere before, is no longer scary.

  The wealthy and powerful families of the gentry and aristocratic families became brave all of a sudden. They went to battle together, and they often robbed hundreds of people and thousands of people in Shanyue, just like carrying a payment code with them, and they can swipe money wherever they go.

  The crusade against Shanyue brought a large population to Jiangdong, and also brought the most direct increase in power to Sun Quan.

   But it is obvious that this policy is tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst, because while Sun Quan is increasing his strength, the powerful households of Jiangdong gentry are also increasing, and they have increased even more than Sun Quan!

  The longer the time, the more powerful families occupy more positions. In the end, only the voices of these powerful families will be left to speak in the hall, and all interests will only be in the direction that is beneficial to them. Going down this path, the final result must be that Sun Quan, just like the Han Lingdi, was emptied, died aggrieved, and finally attached a "spirit" character.

  "Sun Lingquan"?

  Sun Quan gritted his teeth. He didn't like the result, nor was he willing to accept it.

  Lao Tzu can only be the Great Emperor in the future!

  Emperor Sun!

  In addition to the above reasons, there is another more obscure factor. When a very outstanding talent appears in a family, it is tantamount to a "disaster" for the same generation and minors in the family.

   And such a "disaster", Sun Quan has two eggs, double yolks, double happiness.

  So Sun Quan wanted to prove himself.

  Longing, looking forward to not being the foil of "Double Egg Yolk", no longer a gift from someone, but having my own surname, first name, and brand name!

  So Sun Quan is going to go to war, "The Royal Conquest"!

   Then Sun Quan said this decision, which immediately caused a group of Jiangdong ministers to almost have a group leakage incident.

   Bravery is something that runs in the blood of the Sun family, Sun Jian is, Sun Ce is, and even the youngest Sun Yi is deeply inferior to Sun Ce.

  Sun Quan even envies Sun Yi sometimes, because Sun Yi can unscrupulously show off his martial prowess, while he can only wear dark clothes to wrap his restless heart tightly.

  It's been wrapped up for a long time, and I even feel that my heart has been twisted. Seeing such high bulges, I want to beat them so hard that the chrysanthemums are flying all over the sky!

  Sun Quan took a deep breath, then endured three breaths, and then slowly said: "Now there is Zang Xuangao on Mount Tai as the internal response, Qingzhou is about to fall, why do you stop Yu?" 』

After a long period of communication, coupled with Zhu Zhi's approaching step by step, Zang Ba finally expressed his willingness to submit to Sun Quan. .

  Zhang Zhao said in a deep voice, "Master, who is Zang Xuangao?" One or two letters alone may not be enough to believe it. In the past, Zang Xuangao's father commanded him to be a county jailer. He didn't follow the eunuch's order, and was hated by the eunuch. He took over the Jiefu. Zang Xuangao snatched dozens of guests from the mountain and died in the East Sea... There is no one like this. Wang Fa is a desperado! How can it be trusted? 』

  Sun Quan waved his hand, "I know what Zhang Gong said. It is true that Zang Xuangao died, but there is also one thing... In the past, Yanzhou rebelled, and both Xi and Hui rebelled. After Yanzhou was settled, the two fled to Zang Xuangao. Bandit Cao ordered Zang Xuangao to send the two heads, but Xuangao refused...』

Sun Quan looked around and seemed to be speaking to Zhang Zhao, but also to other people, "Zang Xuangao said that he was established because he did not seek glory for the sake of getting out. Although the Cao thief will be spared the crime of Xi and Hui However, it was Cao thief who wanted to compete with Yuan Benchu, so he had to tolerate it. Now that Yuan Benchu ​​has fallen, how can Zang Xuan be tolerated again? 』

  『Now Cao bandits want to invade and cut Zang Xuangao, and want to take his son as a hostage and release his military power...』

  Sun Quan smiled, "Exactly so, we have a good opportunity!" Zang Xuangao sent people to go around the sea and cast them here, hoping to conspire with Jiangdong for a great cause...』

  『Everyone! But why worry? 』

   Everyone was silent.

  What Sun Quan said is indeed true, and the inference is also reasonable.

  The reason why Cao Cao allowed Zang Ba to occupy Mount Tai was not because Cao Cao admired Zang Ba so much, but because he had never been able to reach under Zang Ba's belly.

At the very beginning, Cao Cao was not strong enough, so for Zang Ba, who was only willing to defend the soil and was not too threatening, he would not be the first target. Instead, Tao Qian and Yuan Shu, who were more threatening, were dealt with first, and then there was no After a while, he met Yuan Shao head-on again, and after defeating Yuan Shao, he confronted General Hussars again. It can be said that Cao Cao had no time or space to deal with Zang Ba for a long time.

  After the Battle of Jingzhou, as the relationship between Fei Qian and Cao Cao eased to a certain extent, when the external threat eased, internal conflicts naturally became prominent...

You know, under the rule of Cao Cao, there were not many generals with foreign surnames who had long-term military command and local governance power. In history, Zhang Babai was famous because of Sun Shiwan's meritorious service, and Cao Cao was behind his back. Because of the oppression in Li, Zhang Babai deliberately sent a partner who didn't get along with each other to monitor each other, which also proved how serious Cao Cao's suspicion was.

  The most interesting thing is that the hussars general Feiqian attacked the local powerful households in Guanzhong...

   And it worked!

   This is very fatal.

  At the moment, whether it is Cao Cao or Sun Quan, they are both deeply troubled by local tyrants and big gentry. Especially Sun Quan, for Sun Quan, the Jiangdong gentry is the shackles that have been worn on his head all the time, he is suffering almost every second, and he wants to break it in his dreams!

  Sun Quan had been enduring it before, looking forward and backward, hesitating all the time, didn't he just think that if he did something, it might lead to some bad consequences?

   And now, someone has succeeded.

  If Yuan Benchu ​​in the past was a role model for the world, then Fei Ziyuan is now a model for the world!

  So Cao Cao is now thinking about Zang Ba, isn't it a normal thing?

   Then Sun Quan...

  『Take the map! ’ Sun Quan shouted loudly, his spirits flying high.

  On the map, based on the changes in the previous period of battle, the comparison of forces between Sun Quan and Cao Cao and the general arrangement have been outlined.

  Sun Quan stood in front of the map, stretched out his hand and pointed on it, "Now Cao Jun in Jingzhou is using Jiangling as a bait, and wants to decide Jiangbei. The governor will not leave for a day, and Cao Jun in Jingzhou will not dare to move rashly for a day!" 』

  『In the middle of the road, Huang Gongfu approached Cao Jun’s new city, and Cao Jun didn’t dare to leave...』

  『Eastern Road...』 When Sun Quan said this way, he paused for a moment, and clicked on the map with his hand, 『Zhu Junli...』

   To be honest, Sun Quan was not satisfied with Zhu Zhi's progress, very dissatisfied.

Contained by Zhou Yu and others' feint attack, Zhu Zhi's progress on the East Road was not ideal, and it could even be said to be very slow. After Xuzhou fought for a long time, he only hit the vicinity of Guangling, and he hadn't even captured Xiapi. that is…

   It's hard to say.

  Sun Quan took a deep breath, and then put on a smile. Now is not the time to settle accounts with Zhu Zhi, "Zhu Jun is on the east road, and he will fight steadily... Only then will there be a great opportunity..."

  『Tarzan! Zang Xuangao! 』

  『With soldiers and supplies, advance to attack and retreat to defend! 』

  『What's more, if Mount Tai falls, the inside and the outside will cooperate, and Xuzhou can be settled! In this way, we can continue to advance along the river and go straight to Yanzhou Yuzhou! Shake Cao thief's foundation, disturb the foundation, and the Central Plains will definitely shake! 』

  『At that time, the Cao bandits will cut off communication between the north and the south, and we will not be able to take care of both the east and the west. With the three roads advancing together, the land of the Central Plains will be in our hands! 』

  『Rescue the emperor from the hands of thieves! Helping the community at this moment! 』

  『Everyone! 』

  『At that time, you will have the meritorious service of eradicating rebels, and you will be good ministers of the great man! This battle, this achievement, can determine the foundation of the world! The Legend of the Thousand Years! 』

  『At such a critical moment, if a certain person cannot come to the front line in person, if Zang Xuangao makes a decision, will it be possible to exchange letters and send them across thousands of miles? Wouldn't it be a pity if Zang Xuangao's mission failed due to the delay of the war opportunity? ! 』

  Sun Quan said a lot in one breath, and slowly looked around, "Or... you are all great sages... If you want to come to Xuzhou on behalf of someone, you may wish to recommend yourself..."

   A huge pig's heart was thrown on the table with a bang.

  Zhang Zhao was silent. Because Zhang Zhao himself is from Xuzhou, if Sun Quan can really win Xuzhou, Zhang Zhao will definitely get very good benefits, so I persuaded him before, it is also because of the friendship with the Jiangdong gentry, It is obviously impossible for Zhang Zhao to risk his life to stop it...

   Zhang Zhao is like this, so is Zhang Hong.

  Who doesn’t want to return to their homeland after they are old, and it’s good to return to their homeland no matter how bad their souls are. Therefore, when Sun Quan really showed some hope of acquiring Xuzhou, the alliance of interests between the Zhang family and the Jiangdong gentry broke down.

  Sun Quan set his eyes on Gu Yong.

  Jiangdong gentry is mostly headed by Wu Jun, and in Wu Jun, the four surnames "Gu, Lu, Zhu, and Zhang" are the most important. Strictly speaking, Zhu Zhi is not from Wujun, but from Danyang, but he has been the prefect of Wujun for a long time, so he has become one of them. The real Zhu Huan from Wu County was originally from a poor family, and his family was not obvious, and he mixed with Sun Quan. At the same time, Sun Quan also had a faint intention to let Zhu Huan replace Zhu Zhi's position.

  Zhang Yun is older and tends to be academic, but his ability is average. Among the four surnames in Wu County, he is the oldest, but has the lowest position, and that's why. At the same time, Zhang Yun's name is very watery. Simply put, it is a hot search bought with money, and it is pushed up abruptly. Don't look like a million-dollar V, the fans are actually zombie fans, and they like to cough Elixir, so...

As for the Lu family, they have suffered serious setbacks before, and they are not yet recovering. Therefore, Lu Xun is basically acting like a turtle. He neither proposes nor opposes anything. It is a process of silently accumulating and recovering strength. middle.

  So now if Gu Yong nods, the matter is basically considered a success.

  Gu Yong raised his eyes slightly, looked at Sun Quan for a moment, then lowered his eyes, "My lord, if you really follow this theory, it will be wonderful...But there is one thing that Yong can't understand..."

   Sun Quan said: "Speak up! 』

  Gu Yong said in a gentle voice, "What if... Zang Xuangao feigned surrender... what will happen?" 』
