"Since the Yuan family is also here, I'd better go out in person."
Sun Quan stood up. As Sun Quan was now the second-in-command in Jiangdong, he came forward in person, and the specifications were completely different. It can be said that the Yuan family, Yang Hong, Zhang Xun and others will not only establish a foothold in Jiangdong in the future, but as long as Sun Quan is willing, they may become a new force. Don't forget, Sun Quan now controls the Jiangdong Selection Department, and it is very easy to arrange the people he designates into most positions.
"Zhong Mou, you have to think carefully. Don't lose a big thing for a small thing!" Wu Jing quickly stopped Sun Quan and said, "Even if you really want to help the Yuan family, you can secretly help them. Such a big fanfare will make people angry. Everyone knows that the public opinion is quite bad."
"Public opinion?" Sun Quan smiled, "Uncle, do you know what public opinion is? People in the world are pursuing profit, and there must be many people who accuse me, but even if I don't do such things, they will not come to seek refuge with me. But for For those who plan to take refuge in me, the more I protect their weaknesses, the more at ease they feel. In this era, regardless of what people outside think, internal cohesion is the key."
After a pause, Sun Quan said again,
"As for Cao Cao, there is no need to worry. If Cao Cao wants to fall out with my Sun family, he will find various excuses to attack us regardless of whether this is the case; and if Cao Cao still wants to maintain relations with us, then I will do it No matter how blatant it is, he will turn a blind eye.”
After listening to Sun Quan's words, Wu Jing could only smile bitterly.
"Zhong Mou, I can't tell you the truth, but you should also understand that there is not only one Cao Cao in this world, and Cao Cao also has Cao Cao's difficulties. As far as I know, Cao Cao does not have the final say in Xudu at present. . I know that you are young and energetic, dare to venture and fight, and are not afraid of anything, but there are some things that you should do as soon as you do them. It is better to be restrained. There is no harm in being low-key." Wu Jing persuaded Sun Quan. Being modest and low-key, and not showing off, is quite in line with the ancient way of doing things.
"Haha." Sun Quan couldn't help laughing, "Uncle, don't worry about it. You also said that today's Xu Du is not Cao Cao's one-spoken man, and the current Cao Cao's biggest enemy is Yuan Shao in the north. He is absolutely impossible Falling out with us. So, it’s not us who should worry, but Cao Cao. When someone accuses us in court, Cao Cao still has a headache how to explain to us."
After speaking, Sun Quan looked at Wu Jing seriously and said,
"Uncle, why do you think people keep climbing up and walking higher?"
"When a good man is alive, he will naturally make contributions and be famous forever!" Wu Jing replied after being stunned.
Sun Quan gave a different answer, or a completely different direction,
"I think it's for freedom! Don't be restrained and do whatever you want. When no one can control you, that's the most free time."
Wu Jing's expression condensed, no one could care about him, except being above tens of thousands of people, that would be like being an emperor! Although being an emperor actually has many constraints, at this time, it is meaningless to argue with Sun Quan.
Perhaps after Sun Ce reoccupies Jiangdong, the Sun family factions will have more or less similar ideas, but for someone like Sun Quan to speak out about such a thing directly without any scruples, I'm afraid even Sun Ce can't do it now!
Wu Jing took a deep look at Sun Quan and said,
"Zhong Mou, you have great ambitions. Uncle, I can't say anything more. I just hope you can think carefully before making any decision. After all, you don't have that much freedom now."
"Don't worry, uncle, I am also sensible. Besides, this kind of thing is not without benefits for us. Isn't Guangling now short of people? Most of those who followed Yang Hong and Zhang Xun from Shouchun are officials, and they have been there for a long time. In the officialdom, we have rich experience, which can solve our urgent needs. First, stabilize the interior of Guangling, and then I can free my hands to deal with Lu Bu." Sun Quan said, "From this aspect, they came at the right time."
Wu Jing frowned. Leaving the Yuan family in Guangling would not affect Jiangdong's officialdom for the time being. However,
"I'm afraid the Yuan family is used to being arrogant. Can they really manage Guangling well? If you put them in the middle and lower classes, will they become dissatisfied?" Wu Jing asked worriedly.
Sun Quan shook his head,
"Since they came to Guangling specifically to find me instead of going directly to my elder brother, it means that they have clearly understood their current situation. I am willing to take them in, and they must be grateful and don't dare to make any demands. Of course, there will be no dissatisfaction for the time being, which does not mean that it will not happen in the future. Once people settle down, they will think about something else. However, that is also a matter of the future. What I need now is them. Temporary submission." Sun Quan replied.
Wu Jing finally nodded,
"It seems that Zhongmou has really thought it through, so let's go ahead and do it."
Sun Quan bowed his hand to Wu Jing,
"Uncle, you stay here first. The scouts we sent out are probably coming back. As soon as there is news, inform me immediately. I may have to take action in the next two days!"
"action?"
Wu Jing's eyes narrowed. Defending the city with peace of mind obviously did not require action. In other words, Sun Quan really planned to take the initiative!
"I see."
Wu Jing nodded heavily. He understood that once Sun Quan made up his mind, it would not be easy to change it. Moreover, as long as Lu Bu's army has not yet arrived, Wu Jing also believes that there is a possibility that they will not be able to fight.
······
At the same time, somewhere in the wild,
"I have money! Don't kill me! Do you know who I am! I can give you anything you want!" A young man fled in the jungle in a very embarrassed manner.
"Money? Of course I want it. But I want status even more!" A man from behind approached with a long knife and sneered.
"Status, I can also give you status!" the young man in front shouted quickly.
"Hahaha, you are not qualified to say such things now. Mr. Huang, do you know how long I have been waiting for this opportunity today!" The killer laughed wildly and accelerated to close the distance between the two again.
"Who are you! Who sent you here!" Huang Gongzi ran, and when he saw that there was almost no hope of escape, he finally cried heartbreakingly.
"You should go down below and ask the King of Hell about this kind of question." A knife passed by, leaving deep blood marks on Mr. Huang's back, and he fell to the ground hard.
After a few rolls, the man did not run away anymore. The killer was still on guard for a fatal blow, but he never thought that the usually majestic Mr. Huang would kneel to the ground without hesitation.
"Let me go, please let me go, I will give you everything. If you let me go secretly, I promise to change my appearance and never appear in the world again. There are only two of us here, and the person who sent you will never know !" Mr. Huang cried and begged on the ground.
"Hey." The killer shook his head and sighed, "That one is smart. If you don't hand over the head, what will I do? If you want to blame me, I blame you for provoking someone you shouldn't offend!"
After saying that, he raised the knife and dropped it, blood flew, and the head fell to the ground. The sword light reflected the blood-stained face. This killer was none other than Pan Zhang. Needless to say, the soul killed by his sword was Huang Yi. After Yuan Shu's death, the Shouchun clan fled one after another. Pan Zhang seized the opportunity and completed the task assigned to him by Sun Quan.
"That's right. You understand the importance." A voice suddenly sounded from the forest.
Pan Zhang was shocked.
"who?!"
Then, the other party appeared,
"Lord?! Why are you here?"
