Chapter 271 Zhang Zhaomou has both the right and the left
Chapter 271 Zhang Zhaomou plays both sides
Jianye, after Sun Ce killed Liu Yao, Sun Jian moved the Yangzhou governor's office here. Because the road was too far, Yuan Shao's envoy traveled for a month and a half before arriving. At this time, Liu Bei and Cao Cao had already raised troops one after another, and Zhang Baiqi
We have already passed Luoyang!
"Father, how do you decide?" Sun Ce couldn't wait to ask Sun Jian after seeing Yuan Shao's envoy.
"I don't know..." Sun Jian rubbed his swollen head. Like Sun Ce, he has well-developed limbs and a simple mind. He may be a little bit arrogant, but he really doesn't know how to deal with the relationship with Liu Zhang and Yuan Shao. He even interacts with Cao Cao.
Well, Sun Ce listened to Lu Su’s suggestion and told him.
Sun Ce was speechless for a while after hearing this, but he did not dare to laugh at his father. He couldn't help but smile and said: "Why don't you invite me to discuss it?"
"This..." Sun Jian thought for a moment and said, "Go and call everyone here! Bo Fu, you are the eldest son. You cannot trust any of your subordinates. You need to brainstorm ideas. It is not a good sign that you rely too much on Lu Zijing.
"
"Yes, father!" Although Sun Ce was somewhat disapproving, he did not dare to talk back to Sun Jian's words.
"Alas!" Seeing the look of disapproval on Sun Ce's face, Sun Jian secretly sighed in his heart. However, Sun Ce disappointed Sun Jian, but Sun Jian also had a son, Sun Quan. Sun Quan, who is not yet sixteen years old this year, had already died at the age of ***
It showed extraordinary talent, especially in the aspect of political strategy. Therefore, Sun Jian named Sun Quan Zhongmou!
In fact, Sun Jian really wanted his two sons to become wise men, so he named one Ce and the other Quan. But he forgot that there is an old Chinese saying: Dragon begets dragon, phoenix begets phoenix, and the son of mouse will be
Drill a hole. Many people understand this sentence to mean that how you are born determines your achievements. In fact, this sentence reflects the influence of the environment.
All sons will worship their father and imitate their father unconsciously. Over the years, they will naturally learn his father's personality, habits, and even his demeanor and movements. Sun Ce has been with Sun Jian since he was a child, and has been with Sun Jian since he was a child.
Being taught by Sun Jian himself, he is naturally more like Sun Jian.
This was not the case with Sun Quan. When he was born, the Han Dynasty was in crisis. Sun Jian had been fighting abroad for many years and had little contact with Sun Quan. Even Sun Ce was not with Sun Quan. Sun Quan would naturally be more influenced by his mother. In addition,
There were many scribes in Jiangdong. Although Sun Quan admired the bravery of his father and brother, he was more exposed to culture and power.
Especially Sun Quan in history. He lost his father when he was about ten years old and his brother when he was eighteen. Although he also had the bravery of his father and brother, his mother taught him more. No woman from a wealthy family is simple, and Sun Quan's mother is no exception.
.Sun Quan inherited his mother's power, and at the same time inherited women's pettiness and suspicion. This is also the reason why Sun Quan in his later years did not even trust his own son.
Of course, Sun Jian is not dead now. Although Sun Quan is also influenced by his mother, he is more masculine. He is proficient in tactics, but because of Sun Jian, he becomes impassioned and more like a man, completely unlike the sinister and ungrateful people in history. It can be said that
, Sun Quan now has more magnanimity!
Sun Jian summoned everyone to come to the meeting hall. After sitting down, Sun Jian sat at the head, while his subordinates, Wen Wu, sat behind Sun Ce and Sun Quan respectively. It can be said that they are clearly divided!
"Everyone, let's talk about it, should we help Yuan Shao or the champion?" Sun Jian explained the situation in detail. The scribes around Sun Quan began to think, but the generals around Sun Ce were whispering.
"My lord, as I see it, we don't care whether Yuan Shao and Liu Zhang fight to the death or alive, we just focus on attacking Jingzhou! Not to mention that Huang Zu's fellow has any enmity with us, just say that Jingzhou is close to Yangzhou, and we can expand our strength by defeating it. Instead of helping,
Yuan Shao and Liu Zhang might as well develop on their own! One day, Yuan Shao and Liu Zhang will both be our enemies!" Cheng Pu is implicitly the leader of Sun Jian's generals. Under normal circumstances, his opinions represent those of Sun Jian's generals. Of course.
, Cheng Pu's opinions coincided with Sun Ce's.
"My lord, no!" Zhang Zhao was originally from Xuzhou. He couldn't stand Cao Cao's attitude towards the aristocratic family, so he moved his family to Jiangdong. After being recruited by Sun Ce, Zhang Zhao joined Sun Quan and helped Sun Quan win over a group of scribes.
Sun Quan and Sun Ce can fight in separate courts.
"What can Mr. Zhang say?" Sun Jian respected Zhang Zhao very much. Since Zhang Zhao came to Sun Jian's command, Sun Jian has never worried about government affairs again!
Zhang Zhao smiled and did not answer, but raised his hands and asked: "My lord, what do you think of the champion?"
"He is a genius!" Sun Jian not only benefited from Liu Zhang, but also knew Liu Zhang's abilities. If not, he would not have hesitated.
"Yuan Benchu is so powerful and Liu Jiyu is so talented. I wonder if my lord thinks that he is their rival?" Zhang Zhao asked slowly, stroking his beard.
"This..." It was embarrassing to be asked by Zhang Zhao, but Sun Jian couldn't deny that he was inferior to Yuan Shao and Liu Zhang, so he could only sigh: "If we fight against these two, I will probably be inferior!"
Zhang Zhao smiled and said: "In this case, it is a big no-no to talk about morality and planning!"
"Old man Zhang, can you please stop showing off?" Although generals like Cheng Pu and Huang Gai were no longer as reckless as before, they were still impatient. Seeing that Zhang Zhao was always talking about him, he couldn't help but urge him.
"Generals, don't be anxious!" Zhang Zhao said with a smile: "Actually, General Cheng's words are not wrong, but that is the situation when Liu Zhang wins. If Yuan Shao wins, he will definitely anger our army. You know, Yuan Shao has an army of millions, if
His victory over Liu Zhang will greatly increase his strength. When the time comes, who can we resist Yuan Shao's wrath?"
Zhang Zhao's words made everyone fall silent. Thinking about Yuan Shao's million-strong army, everyone shuddered. Sun Jian disagreed. Back then, the Yellow Turban thieves numbered more than a million, and they were defeated by Liu Zhang.
"Mr. Zhang, although Yuan Shaojun has many people, he may not be the opponent of Champion Hou!" Sun Jian said with a smile: "Speaking of which, I am more optimistic about Champion Hou!"
"No matter who wins, Yuan Shao or Liu Zhang, the most important thing is to protect yourself!" Zhang Zhao said with a smile: "It's best to have both sides, or even take the opportunity to expand!"
"Oh?" Sun Jian asked with great interest: "How to do it, please tell me directly, Mr. Zhang!"
Zhang Zhao smiled and said: "Since my lord is optimistic about Liu Zhang, we will take this opportunity to attack Jingzhou and send a major general to garrison Yiling. If Liu Zhang wins, we attack Jingzhou and have no reason to fight with him. Maybe we can still have a good relationship. If Yuan Shao
If we win, the major general will send troops to Yizhou from Yiling. By then, whether it is Jingzhou or Yizhou, we can always get some benefits!"
"Okay!" Sun Jian was overjoyed when he heard this. He was about to take action when Cheng Pu spoke up.
"May I ask, sir, if Yuan Shaosheng wins, what can we do to resist his million-strong army?" Cheng Pu still remembered Zhang Zhao's words just now, and the method Zhang Zhao said can at best be regarded as a supplement to Cheng Pu's method.
"General Cheng, won't people die when the champion marquis fights Yuan Shao?" Zhang Zhao said with a smile: "If Yuan Shao defeats the champion marquis, the best result is that both sides will lose. How can he still have an army of millions? Even if Yuan Shao still has an army, but
Where is the food and grass? At that time, our enemies were Cao Cao and Liu Biao!"
The counselor opened his mouth and said that he was right. How could Cheng Pu, a military general, speak better than Zhang Zhao? Seeing that Cheng Pu remained silent, Zhang Zhao no longer made things difficult for him. After all, when it came to his relationship with Sun Jian,
Cheng Pu is closer. In fact, the Sun family is very contradictory. They are very good to their confidants, but they are also suspicious. Maybe big people have this problem.
It's like Zhou Yu in history. Before he died, Sun Quan was afraid of him in every possible way. But after Zhou Yu really died, Sun Quan missed him very much. Pang Tong was a great talent, couldn't Sun Quan see it? Of course not! Sun Quan didn't use Pang Tong.
Because Pang Tong said bad things about Zhou Yu. Pang Tong ran into trouble with Cao Cao because he said bad things about Guo Jia. Otherwise, with how much Cao Cao loved talents, how could he underestimate Pang Shiyuan because of his ugliness? If he could sneak in with Cao Cao,
It's a joke to judge people based on their appearance based on Sun Quan's position!
"Okay!" Seeing that the civil servants and generals had reached an agreement, Sun Jian stood up and said: "Since everyone has reached an agreement, my son Bo Fu obeys the order. I order you to lead Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin to attack Jingzhou. Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Han
Follow me and garrison Yiling! The rest of the generals will guard the city and passes, waiting for orders!"
"Obey the order!" Although he didn't understand why Sun Jian asked him to attack Jingzhou, Sun Ce still stood up with the generals to obey the order, while Zhang Zhao's expression changed on the side.
The reason why Zhang Zhao asked Sun Ce to guard Yiling was actually to pave the way for Sun Quan. The scribes under Sun Jian could all see that Sun Ce was just a slightly smarter reckless man, while Sun Quan was the wise master. If Sun Ce was Sun Quan's younger brother, then
No problem, but Sun Quan is Sun Ce’s younger brother.
In the Han Dynasty, the eldest son had the right to inherit 80% of his father's family property. In other words, if nothing unexpected happened, Sun Jian's heir would definitely be Sun Ce, but the emperor in Zhang Zhao's mind was Sun Quan. Now, if you want to help
In order for Sun Quan to seize the throne, he had to suppress Sun Ce's power. Sun Ce had followed Sun Jian in the north and south since he was a child. It was naturally difficult to suppress him. He had become a popular figure in the army.
But if Sun Ce is not allowed to have the opportunity to make meritorious deeds, and then he secretly supports Sun Quan, then Sun Quan will have the merit to manage the world, and Sun Ce is just a general. According to the rules of inheritance, establishing direct descendants and establishing virtuous people, Zhang Zhao can
Sun Quan was promoted to the position of first heir, even though Sun Quan had no intention of doing so.
Now, Sun Jian actually asked Sun Ce to attack Jingzhou and stationed himself in Yiling. He obviously saw Zhang Zhao's thoughts. After all, Sun Jian, as a lord and father, did not need meritorious deeds. However, Zhang Zhao was using conspiracy, and he believed that Sun Jian understood
I also understand his thoughts. After all, the family values the family, not a single family member. For the benefit of the family, even the eldest son can give up, even if he is a genius!
After making a decision, the Jiangdong Army began to take action. Sun Ce led Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai to Jiangxia, while Sun Jian went to Yiling. Yuan Shao, who had always been regarded as a waste by Liu Zhang, actually laid out such a large formation, which caught Liu Zhang by surprise.
.But if Liu Zhang survives this great crisis, unification of the world will be just around the corner. Isn’t it true that great crises are accompanied by great opportunities?
