Zhang Ning's words became more powerful, but Sun Quan's heart did not feel good. Zhang Ning seemed to say that the Demon Sect was very powerful and a huge temptation in front of Sun Quan, but in fact, what Sun Quan saw more was the threat of the Demon Sect.
It is true that with the help of the Demon Sect, it would be much easier for the Sun family to regain Jiangdong, even easier than Sun Quan imagined. But to be arrogant, in Sun Quan's eyes, this kind of thing is just the icing on the cake. Sun Quan already had his own plan, and when he laid out the plan, he did not take the Demon Sect into account at all. In other words, whether there was a Demon Sect or not, Sun Quan was completely sure that his plan would be realized. The so-called temptation of the Demon Sect and the so-called role of Zhang Ning are completely unnecessary in Sun Quan's eyes.
It's like starting a company. I have enough funds myself, and it has great prospects and is guaranteed to make a lot of money. So, why should I let you step in and buy a stock? Even if I really let you buy shares, it will be me helping you, not you helping me, let alone begging you!
Therefore, Zhang Ning's lobbyist was not qualified at all. Of course, it’s not Zhang Ning’s fault. It’s not that her professional skills are not high, but that she doesn’t understand Sun Quan well enough. She didn’t know that in this seemingly precarious situation, Sun Quan even seized the opportunity to turn things around.
Moreover, at this time, Zhang Ning did not realize that her lobbyist not only had no effect, but had the opposite effect. Yes, Sun Quan did not consider the Demon Sect when he made the plan in advance, but just because he did not consider it, it just shows that Sun Quan did not regard the Demon Sect as a helper, nor did he regard the Demon Sect as an enemy! But now, Zhang Ning has completely described to Sun Quan the current grand situation of the Demon Sect. It is such a huge monster, and its headquarters is even in Jiangdong. Even if you, Sun Quan, don't regard it as an enemy, are you still naive enough not to regard it as a threat?
Just look at Jingzhou and you will know that Liu Biao seems to be the actual controller of Jingzhou, but his various decisions will be affected by Cihang Jingzhai. On the surface, Cihang Jingzhai doesn't seem to like to put her hands on political affairs, but she is like a supervisor, always putting her eyes behind you and watching your every move. How could Liu Biao do this? Let go and do it? Unless he really doesn't do anything dirty! But in fact, as a prince, if you want to expand, how can it be without trouble? How can we not do it? For example, if you join forces vertically and horizontally, when your former enemies are no longer, when your former allies have become close neighbors, and you still have ambitions, and if you want to continue to expand, you have to find a way to tear up the alliance and stab your allies in the back.
However, Liu Biao couldn't do anything like this. Liu Biao seemed to have no problem with his rights, and Cihang Jingzhai seemed to care about nothing, but Liu Biao did not have the right to choose his enemies at will. If you can't find enemies, you can't easily send troops to expand. This is probably why Jingzhou has remained stagnant all these years. Probably the biggest reason for not moving forward.
However, this cannot be blamed on Cihang Jingzhai. In the final analysis, the problem still lies with Liu Biao. Liu Biao was a famous man in the world and cherished feathers. Normally, his subordinates should take the initiative to propose things that the lord wanted to do but was not able to do. However, Jingzhou is a special place. Due to the influence of Cihang Jingzhai, his subordinates did not dare to take the initiative to propose it. , then at this time, Liu Biao must break the rules and make changes. If Sun Quan were in Liu Biao's position, although he wouldn't say that he would kill first and then tell the story later, he would personally go to the God's Peak to talk to Shi Zimiao or Shangguan Di and make it clear about the general trend of the world. Shi Zimiao has never been a pedantic person. She even did a lot of ruthless things for the sake of justice. At that time, as long as she gets Cihang Jingzhai's approval or even just acquiescence, what else can stop Sun Quan from letting go?
In this era of heroes multiplying, if you want to succeed and stand on the corpses of the world's heroes, there will never be the slightest chance of luck!
Having said so much, let’s return to the situation in Jiangdong.
Nowadays, the Demon Sect in Jiangdong already has forces similar to Cihang Jingzhai. Sun Quan doesn’t have to cooperate with Yu’er this time, but can you guarantee that the willful Yu’er will not stumble you behind your back? Sun Quan could accept not treating the Demon Sect as an ally, but he could not accept the Demon Sect becoming his enemy. An enemy in the dark is really terrifying. They can easily destroy your carefully planned plans anywhere.
Moreover, this is only one of Sun Quan's concerns. Sun Quan's second concern is that even if he really chooses to cooperate with the Demon Sect, from now on, the Demon Sect in Jiangdong will become Cihang Jingzhai in Jingzhou. More or less, they will all be affected by the magic gate. Maybe the way of influence of the Demon Sect is different from that of Cihang Jingzhai, but in the Demon Sect, there is a mixture of fish and dragons, and it is far from being as respected as the disciples of Cihang Jingzhai. Just imagine, once a senior member of the Demon Sect breaks the law, Sun The family wanted severe punishment, but Yu'er jumped out and said, my people, I will handle it myself within the demon sect. In this way, how can I still convince the public? How can we still stabilize people's hearts?
Once this kind of thing is not handled well, ordinary people will not be able to live and work in peace and contentment, ordinary soldiers will not be willing to work hard, and even those officials and nobles with high moral character will leave one after another. . . . . . The Sun family’s century-old plan? I'm afraid I won't become the second Yuan Shu!
Moreover, this is only one aspect of the disadvantages of cooperation with the Demon Sect. He has extreme ideas, has been at the bottom of society for a long time, and is always bullied. . . . . It's not that Sun Quan doesn't pity them, but once such people turn over, they often do a lot of crazy things. Just look at Yu'er and you will know. From the above view, the behemoth of the Demon Sect is really difficult to control.
Furthermore, there are even things that even Sun Quan doesn't want to think about.
Sun Quan, because of Yu'er's relationship, can more or less tolerate this demon sect, but what about Sun Ce? Can Sun Quan's eldest brother tolerate sand in his eyes? It would be fine if the Demon Sect didn't cause trouble and obeyed the discipline. But if he caused trouble and refused to obey the discipline, Sun Ce would definitely find a way to get rid of the Demon Sect, and the Demon Sect would definitely want to assassinate Sun Ce. . . . . . This thing is a double-edged sword. Although it is very good at killing enemies, it can also easily hurt yourself in turn.
To be honest, at this moment, after listening to Zhang Ning's story, Sun Quan even had the intention of joining forces with Cihang Jingzhai to get rid of the Demon Sect and uproot the Demon Sect from Jiangdong!
After temporarily suppressing his thoughts, Sun Quan calmly changed his mind and said,
"Senior sister, didn't you say that you came here for two purposes?"
Zhang Ning was stunned, surprised that Sun Quan could resist their temptation and sincerity. Zhang Ning lowered his eyes slightly, said in a low voice to Sun Quan,
"Junior brother, what I just said must be carefully considered. Before coming, the Lord mentioned to me that because of you, she will only choose to cooperate with the Sun family and will never agree to find other princes!" Zhang Ning looked at Sun Quan and said, "You should understand what this means. I have almost told you our biggest bottom line."
Sun Quan's eyes flashed, and he was still a little touched in his heart, but...
"Senior sister said this, the purpose is not limited to this, right?" Sun Quan narrowed his eyes and said.
