Over there, the Yuan family is thinking about their future, and here, Sun Quan is also thinking about the future of their Sun family.
"You actually led troops to Nanyang?"
Sun Quan inquired about his father Sun Jian's movements, which was different from what he had initially imagined. The reason why Sun Quan rushed to let Zu Mao go back in the first place was that he would rather risk the disapproval of the world and seize the territory as soon as possible! It’s not that Sun Jian took the opportunity to capture Nanyang, but according to Sun Quan’s plan, Sun Jian should be sitting in Xiangyang and controlling the entire Jingzhou at this moment!
They all killed the Jingzhou governor, took the food and grass, and collected the troops, but they just passed by. Could it be that Sun Jian really wanted to attack Dong Zhuo? Did Sun Jian not understand Sun Quan's true intention? Or is it that the water in Jingzhou is too deep, and it can't be simply recruited by killing a governor?
Sun Quan frowned, remembering what Qin Chuan said at that time, could it be because of Cihang Jingzhai?
No matter what, it seems that Jingzhou has not been captured by the Sun family at present, and they have not been able to win such a good opportunity. It seems that it is not easy to win. Therefore, there are only two options left before Sun Quan. First, according to the original history, wait for the establishment of the Kwantung Allied Forces, and continue to fight against Dong as a vanguard. 2. According to Sun Quan’s strategic policy of seizing territory as early as possible, turn the gun and capture Jiangdong in one go! Although this would completely confirm Sun Jian's crime, and Sun Jian would not get any public support, but in Jiangdong, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and Dong Zhuo will not be able to control it for a while.
Moreover, Jiangdong is not as good as Jingzhou, which is the base of the Sun family. It is not difficult to capture Jiangdong and gain the support of the local nobles. You will not encounter the same embarrassment as in Jingzhou.
From a macro perspective, it seems that the second option is better, but Sun Quan has some concerns.
First of all, there is the pressure of public opinion. During this period, even people like Dong Zhuo wanted to regent in the name of exterminating eunuchs, but you, Sun Jian, went directly to separate the regime. Isn't this a rebellion? By then, Dong Zhuo's crime against Sun Jian will not be serious, and other people in the world will also think that Sun Jian is a traitor, and the Sun family's future actions will be difficult. Not to mention that Dong Zhuo might use this to divert conflicts and stabilize his rule. Even within the Sun family, there would probably be loud opposition. Yes, Sun Jian is superstitious about you, Sun Quan, but other people are not superstitious. There may be many generals who are dedicated to serving the country and loyal to the Han Dynasty. It is normal for them to just turn their backs and leave!
Secondly, it is Sun Quan’s own spiritual world. Now in the spiritual world, Dong Zhuo has definitely become an enemy. If Sun Quan does not rebel against Dong and does not make any contribution to the rebellion, this game will be destroyed in the end. Does the system judge a loss or a win? If you lose, will there be any punishment?
"So, Second Young Master, are we going to Jiangdong now? Or to Nanyang?" Zhou Tai asked for instructions.
"Nanyang!"
Sun Quan made the decision without hesitation. We will wait until Nanyang to decide what to do in the future. Just like what Sun Quan thought just now, he, Sun Quan, is only a child and his influence is very limited. It doesn't matter what he thinks. What matters is whether things can develop in the direction he envisioned.
After the arrangements were made, Sun Quan told Cai Wenji the information he had just obtained about Cai Yong to reassure her.
"Very good!"
Cai Wenji finally felt relieved after hearing that her father was safe and sound, and that Dong Zhuo seemed to be very polite to him.
"Miss Cai, it is indeed gratifying that your father is safe and sound, but is this really a good thing for you?" Yu'er approached Cai Wenji and said. Cai Wenji instantly remembered what Yu'er had said before, and her face immediately became a little unhappy. Cai Yong was now a high official with Dong Zhuo, so would Sun Jian take Cai Wenji as a hostage to threaten the other side? Even if you can't threaten Dong Zhuo, you still have to threaten Cai Yong not to serve Dong Zhuo!
"So, what are Miss Cai's plans for the future?"
Yu'er said these words loudly and in front of Sun Quan.
Asking people what their plans are is simply a tactful way of driving them away.
"Sister Cai will naturally continue to stay with us, the book is still there and the people are there!" Sun Quan said quickly.
Yu'er smiled and glanced at Sun Quan,
"Little brother, do you want someone like Miss Cai to help you read books for the rest of your life?"
Don't make trouble! Sun Quan used lip language to give Yu'er a secret signal, but unfortunately Yu'er turned a blind eye.
"Before, Cai Yong and everyone were worried about the volatile situation in Kyoto, but now, Dong Zhuo has successfully established a foothold in Luoyang, the situation has stabilized, Cai Yong and everyone have received attention again, and they have been promoted step by step. Even if Miss Cai returns to Luoyang, there will be no danger. Are you done?" Yu'er continued.
"How can there be no danger!" Sun Quan said quickly, "Dong Zhuo will be overthrown sooner or later, not to mention sooner or later, just in the next year or two!"
"Oops! Don't you make Miss Cai worried when you say such things?" Yu'er covered her mouth and said.
Sun Quan glared at her, this woman did it on purpose! I don’t know why, but Yu’er seems to dislike Cai Wenji very much. Is it true that people of the same sex repel her?
"Sister Cai, don't worry. Cai Wenji is a figure respected by everyone. No matter who overthrows Dong Zhuo, it is impossible for him to take action against Cai Wenji." Sun Quan quickly comforted Cai Wenji.
"Mr. Sun, what Miss Yu'er said is right. It's really inconvenient for me to stay here all the time." Cai Wenji thought for a while and spoke.
Sun Quan's face changed slightly, while Yu'er, the enchantress, continued to add fuel to the fire.
"Yes, yes, little brother, I know you mean well, but you also have to think about Miss Cai. Miss Cai is young and has been following you. She has no name or status. It will not sound good if word spreads."
"Then Sister Yu'er, you have no name or status, why are you following me all the time?" Sun Quan said through gritted teeth.
"Sister, I do want a status, are you willing to give it~~" Yu'er looked at Sun Quan tenderly, which made Sun Quan have to curse the witch secretly, and he was defeated again.
"That's good! I will recognize Sister Cai as my god-sister!" Sun Quan suddenly agreed. After saying this, he felt that something sounded wrong, so he said, "Or I can ask my mother to recognize Sister Cai as my god-daughter. Someone will make irresponsible remarks again!"
Hearing this, Yu'er's expression finally changed. Sun Quan was actually willing to do this for Cai Wenji. You must know that the ancients were very serious about this kind of thing. Liu Guan and Zhang Taoyuan became sworn brothers, which means they are really as close as brothers!
"Isn't this... not good?" Cai Wenji hesitated. The hesitation shows that Cai Wenji is a little moved. This is the future emperor! Cai Wenji felt a little dizzy just thinking about being the emperor's sister, even just a sworn sister.
"That's it!" Seeing that Cai Wenji didn't veto it immediately, Sun Quan refused to give anyone any way out, "After we meet my father, I'll ask him to send someone to send Sister Cai back to Jiangdong and let my mother accept you as her adopted daughter! "
"Master Sun, this is no joke. I have to write to my father first, and your mother may not agree to take me in," Cai Wenji said.
Sun Quan smiled and said,
"Sister Cai, don't worry, my mother loves me the most. Besides, what a person Sister Cai is, even if I don't tell you, my mother is eager to accept you as her daughter."
Cai Wenji looked at Sun Quan with some confusion, not knowing whether what Sun Quan said was true or false. It stands to reason that once they become brother and sister, Sun Quan has no reason to have any undue thoughts about her, right? Was what happened on the carriage really just because Sun Quan was young, curious, and joking? However, no matter what, Sun Quan was indeed kind enough to her. Cai Wenji was a person who knew how to repay kindness. Maybe she could really stay temporarily and help Sun Quan keep an eye on this Yu'er? Otherwise, Cai Wenji was afraid that Sun Quan would drink the witch's ecstasy soup and lose his guard completely.
