Zhou Yu and Lu Su controlled almost all the military power of the Jiangdong line.
Although both of them swore in front of Sun Ce's coffin, they would remain loyal to Jiangdong.
How could Sun Quan be trusted with his naturally jealous temper? He was very afraid of the two of them and believed that he could not directly refute the two elder brothers, so he looked at Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong.
Zhang Zhao is now the Chief of History, a lieutenant general in the army, and performs the duties of a military general as a civil servant, which can be said to be a high and powerful position.
Seeing the look in Sun Quan's eyes, he coughed a few times and stood up in a few steps.
"Gong Jin, Zijing, and Yuan Jiujiu have done the opposite and should be punished by the heroes of the world!"
"It's just that the former lord has recently died, and the eastern part of the Yangtze River is now in the south. Most of them are hunting slaves in the south. Chai Sang's army is to guard against Liu Biao. At this time, there are no troops available to go north!"
"Winter is coming soon. It will be very difficult for the army to cross the river. Yuan Shu is certainly rebellious. Cao Mengde is not a pure minister with the emperor in his hands. Two tigers are fighting. Why should Jiangdong be involved?"
"Zibu, this is wrong. There are things that a man should not do, but he must do something. When the late master was still alive, he had already made an offensive and defensive agreement with Cao Mengde!"
"Cao Cao and we are all Han ministers. It is righteousness for Han ministers to fight side by side. Zi Bu, even Jiangdong, is also a Han country!"
Zhou Yu took a deep look at Zhang Zhao and refuted word by word.
This world is different from the Three Kingdoms in history. The harmonious situation in which Sun Ce did not ask Zhou Yu for foreign affairs and Zhang Zhao for internal affairs as mentioned in the history books no longer exists.
Zhou Yu already knew that the leader of the Zhang family in Kuaiji always wanted military power.
Kuaiji's money and food are now held in Zhang Zibu's hands, and he is asking for firewood and mulberry, but he is always withholding them and refusing to give them.
Sun Quan even secretly ordered Zhang Zhao to recruit new soldiers in Wu County, making it clear that he was on guard against Zhou Yu's sole control of the military.
Although Gong Jin is as beautiful as your daughter, in fact, his heart is as righteous as the sun and the moon! Although he despises Zhang Zhao in his heart, he still remembers the oath he made in front of Bo Fu's coffin.
He and Lu Su always tolerated the Wujun family for the sake of Sun Quan. Today, they couldn't bear it any longer and only spoke out.
"Um, this."
Zhang Zhao was overwhelmed by Zhou Yu's momentum for a moment and could not utter a single word in reply. Gu Yong stood beside him, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he walked out in a few steps.
"Gong Jin, although Kuaiji is a Han native, he is also a young lord. It is the inheritance of the previous lord. Even Your Majesty, didn't you also grant the title of Yangzhou Mu?"
"Every word and deed of my lord is a blessing to Jiangdong. Although this year is considered a good year, there are still people who are hungry and cold in the land of Yuhang, and there are still remnants of Yan Baihu in the mountains and fields!"
"My lord, it is proper to defend one side. Why do you have to send troops to make wedding clothes for that side?"
"The Yellow Turban lineage has always been good at leveraging strength to gain merit. Gong Jin, you must be careful! My lord and he have only known each other for a few days, and the world is saying that they are brothers. It is hard to say that this was not done intentionally by Fang Datong!"
Gu Yong is now the magistrate of Kuaiji County, acting as the prefect, and is also the mainstay of Jiangdong.
It was within his duties to talk to the common people, and it was not easy for even Zhou Yu to argue.
Gong Jin and Lu Su looked at each other, and both of them sighed in their hearts at the same time. They knew that if they continued to argue, they would hurt the feelings of their colleagues. What's more, Sun Quan, who said nothing, had no idea where he wanted to go. These two rare talents in this world, and
How could you not know?
Zhou Yu's voice suddenly became hoarse. Jiangdong's beauty was vast, and her appearance was still as beautiful as a girl's. However, there were already a few strands of white hair on her temples.
This is naturally a sign of mental and physical exhaustion!
"Yuantan, Zibu, since you two have already made up your mind about this matter, Zijing and I are mainly training troops, so we will follow you for the time being."
"It's just that Fang Datong is not of the Yellow Turban lineage you are talking about. This person's personality and knowledge are far above those of the children of the aristocratic family. The late master and Datong met late, and I have seen it with my own eyes!"
"Since there is no army, I will go back to Chaisang with Zijing first to guard against Liu Biao!"
"My lord, my lord is young, and it is good to have a plan for everything. However, Kyushu is so big, and there are so many outstanding people. Real men exist between heaven and earth. You should watch the movement of the sky. Please remember it, lord!"
After Zhou Yu finished speaking in a hoarse voice, he and Lu Su saluted Sun Quan, and then strode out of the meeting hall. The displeasure in his heart was clearly visible at a glance.
Sun Quan lowered his head from beginning to end, watching his brother's two best friends striding out. A cold light flashed in the green eyes of the twelve-year-old Fang Guang.
"Hmph, Gong Jin and Zijing really think deeply about Jiangdong, and they think deeply about me!"
"Jiangdong Tianshi is accumulating strength and waiting for big changes. What should we remember? They are stationing troops in Chaisang. From now on, Jiangdong government affairs will require all the princes in the office to worry about it!"
"I dare not! I am willing to serve my lord!"
"Gong Jin, Zijing is a military advisor. Government affairs still depend on Duke Zhang, Duke Gu, and General Zhu Huan!"
"Cao Cao is so virtuous and capable that he can be a Sikong? Fang Guang's position as a Sikong is even more ridiculous. Will my lord still have to listen to the restraint of the yellow turban captain in the future?"
As soon as Zhou Yu and Lu Su left, the atmosphere in the Kuaiji hall suddenly became lively and cheerful.
Amidst the cynicism and sarcasm of the crowd, Sun Quan's originally livid face gradually became calmer.
He is a person who holds grudges. When he was in Shouchun, Yuan Shu served as a lieutenant. Whoever had any disrespect towards the orphans and widowers of the Sun family is still remembered in his heart.
Zhou Yu and Lu Su have high positions in Jiangdong and are supported by the sergeants. Naturally, they cannot move now. However, in Sun Quan's view, this tone must still be made, and the beating trip must still be done!
His nature is twisted and cruel, and his methods of teasing people have already come to mind with a slight thought.
"Gong Jin is in charge of military affairs. The money and grain transported from Kuaiji are through the Lujiang River. I heard that the officials in Lujiang are not very competent. Is this possible?"
As soon as Sun Quan said this, Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong's eyes lit up at the same time, secretly exclaiming the word "exquisite" in their hearts.
Sun Quan could not touch the military line for the time being, but the Lujiang government affairs, although they were also appointed by Zhou Yu, the governor, and the officials were appointed, they were ultimately coordinated by the Kuaiji government office.
The civil servants of Lujiang County were very important to Chai Sang in transporting grain and grass. Replacing Zhou Yu's people with people from Kuaiji on this line not only hit the civil and military forces of Jiangdong, but also took advantage of the logistics supply of Chai Sang's army and horses in disguise.
A genius, simply a political genius. Only a ruthless and fierce person can see the weaknesses of Zhou Yu's lineage at a glance.
Zhang Zhao's eyes turned sharply. He was in charge of Jiangdong's civil affairs and the situation of the officials was naturally clear to him. Almost instantly, the name of a man who was famous in the world but gave the Kuaiji government a headache appeared in Zhang Zhao's mind.
"My lord, Pang Tong, the Prime Minister of Shucheng County to the east of Lujiang River, is known as Fengchu in the world. I heard that Lu Su got it by seeking talents from the countryside!"
"This man, like Zhuge Liang of Jingzhou, is also known as Crouching Dragon and Phoenix, but I heard that he doesn't take care of the affairs of Shu County! He just drinks and writes essays every day, and he behaves like a madman!"
"Shu County is a very important place for transporting grain from east to west. In my opinion, Feng Chu and Wo Long are just like Fang Guang calling him Qilin. It is an act of deceiving the world and stealing the reputation!"
"Pang Tong, Pang Shiyuan ignores the affairs of the county. If there is any oversight in the allocation of military rations, he just slaps his butt and resigns from office. The one who suffers the damage is the lord and the governor of Zhou!"
