Not far behind, Zhang Zhao and a group of civil servants stood here. Listening to the deafening roars all around, many people who had never been on the battlefield looked a little pale on their faces.
The reputation is overwhelming, but that's all. If in the past, these people were afraid of Sun Ce, but they always felt that Sun Quan could be dealt with in a scholarly way, then now, in the eyes of this group of people, Sun Quan has gradually moved closer to Sun Ce. Sure enough, Sun Quan still had the blood of a military strategist flowing in his bones.
"Although the Sun family is warlike, they are not reckless. Those who know the current affairs are heroes. Let's go and welcome the new master of Jiangdong." Zhang Zhao sighed. It was not that he was dissatisfied with the result, but Jiangdong was under the rule of Sun Quan. , what will happen in the future will be very unclear.
It's not that Zhang Zhao doesn't think highly of Sun Quan. It stands to reason that Sun Quan is good at political affairs. He is not like Sun Ce, who is the boss and does everything himself, which is naturally good. But it was precisely because Sun Quan was so good at this that some of Sun Quan's ideas were too excellent. In later generations' terms, they were too advanced. For example, in the initial selection of the army, Sun Quan was like a reform pioneer. His actions were very radical and would shake the foundation of the great family. How many reforms have been successful since ancient times? Perhaps Zhang Zhao is relatively conservative in his thinking. He believes that the current situation should not be overly complicated. Maintaining the original posture, seeking internal stability, and benefiting the world are the best strategies.
"The Sun family is not reckless? From my perspective, Sun Yi is indeed not reckless this time, but what about Sun Quan?" A voice suddenly appeared next to him.
Zhang Zhao was stunned, yes, if Sun Quan was not reckless, would he dare to cross the river without troops? But it is obviously wrong to say that Sun Quan was reckless.
What is reckless? Reckless means that Sun Quan rushed back excitedly, not knowing what was waiting for him on the other side. But Sun Quan was obviously not like this. He knew what was happening on the other side, but he still insisted on crossing the river without leading troops. Did he calculate everything accurately? Is he an expert and bold? Or is he confident?
"In short, the situation is settled. The situation in Jiangdong has changed. As for what will happen today, we can only wait and see." Zhang Zhao shook his head.

In the distance, in the dense forest, an army was ambushing here.
"Gong Jin, you have done this kind of ambush more than once, right?" Lu Su said.
The huge shouts over there made their nerves, which had been tense for a long time, finally relax.
Zhou Yu sighed softly,
"The past is over."
It seems that Sun Ce's high-spiritedness came to mind. That year, Sun Ce led his troops across the river. It was precisely because Zhou Yu led the Danyang soldiers to support him on the other side that Sun Ce was able to regain control of Jiangdong.
Well, Zhou Yu's expression of lamentation was naturally an act. Even in front of his friend Lu Su, Zhou Yu would not show any flaws. Zhou Yu knew very well that Lu Su was very smart, and if he was not careful, he would guess the clues.
"However, this kid Zhongmou is more worrying than his elder brother." Zhou Yu couldn't help complaining at this time. There was no way, Sun Quan didn't follow common sense and actually crossed the river without bringing troops. He really shocked Zhou Yu just now. Breaking into a cold sweat, he was afraid that Sun Yi would take action if he couldn't help it. By then, he would be too far away to rescue him.
Lu Su smiled,
"Subjugate without fighting. This is almost always the case when watching Sun Quan enter Xuzhou. This is very characteristic of him. Otherwise, according to your original estimate, Gong Jin, at least thousands of soldiers will die here. They are all Jiang Dongbing!"
It can be seen that Lu Su admires Sun Quan quite a lot. It may be that Sun Quan's behavior is very consistent with his three views on dealing with peace.
Zhou Yu shook his head disapprovingly.
"One general's achievements are worthless. Not to mention thousands of soldiers, even ten thousand soldiers are not as valuable as Sun Quan. There is really no need for him to take risks."
"Why are you so sure that he is taking risks?" Lu Su couldn't help asking.
"Even if you are 90% sure about this kind of thing, it is still a risk!" Zhou Yu replied.
Talented people are very proud. Zhou Yu does not feel that his judgment is wrong. He ambush here to better prevent risks and ensure that Sun Quan can return to Jiangdong safely and safely. It was Sun Quan's behavior that was too unexpected and caught everyone off guard. It is good to win by surprise, but if you use too many surprises, you will just dance on the tip of the knife.
Zhou Yu did not deny Sun Quan’s actions because everyone’s risk tolerance is different. Some people like to use small things to make big gains, and some people like to play steadily and steadily. You can't say who is right or wrong, as long as you can afford to lose in the end.
Of course, if Sun Ce was not dead yet, and if Zhou Yu had wholeheartedly supported Sun Quan, then Zhou Yu would at least give some advice to Sun Quan for his behavior. After all, Zhou Yu was not from the Sun family and would blindly believe in Sun Quan's judgment.
"Let's go, withdraw our troops, we are no longer needed here." Zhou Yu turned and left.
"Why don't you go out and meet?" Lu Su asked.
"Showing your face at this time will only destroy Zhongmou's momentum. Now that the matter has come to this, this is the best result. Let's go back to Wu County and wait for him." Zhou Yu said and led his troops away without leaving a trace.

Here, after briefly meeting the civil and military ministers, Sun Quan and Sun Yi immediately set off back to Wu County. After all, the most important thing now is Sun Ce's memorial ceremony, but it is not the time for Sun Quan to succeed to the throne with great fanfare. Here today, it is more of just a statement from an important figure.
Sun Yi walked beside Sun Quan, turned his head and glanced at Sun Quan, but stopped talking.
"Third brother, if you have anything to say, just say it. Is there anything else we can't say between us?" Sun Quan said proactively.
"Second brother." Sun Yi gritted his teeth and finally couldn't help but ask, "Are you really not worried about me at all?"
Although Sun Yi also thought about the possibility of Sun Quan crossing the river calmly, in Sun Yi's heart, he probably still believed that Sun Quan would lead his troops to cross the river.
"Silly boy." Sun Quan scratched Sun Yi's head, "You grew up with me, don't you understand your second brother? In your second brother's heart, there is no national justice, only family and friends. If you win the world in the end, but Is it worth it to cause everyone to betray and alienate their relatives? Whatever you do, don’t forget your true intentions and don’t put the cart before the horse." Sun Quan poked Sun Yi's chest and reminded him.
"I understand." Sun Yi lowered his head in shame, "What happened to my eldest brother, now is the time for us brothers to work together, but I..."
"You have done a good job. Without you, Jiangdong would still be in chaos. As long as there is no gap between our brothers, no matter what others say, it will be useless." Sun Quan said. Sun Quan knew that his third brother must have been very conflicted recently, otherwise he would not have behaved in such a seemingly unclear manner.
Of course, it was precisely because of Sun Yi's contradiction that Sun Quan recognized him as his younger brother!
"No, what I did is not good enough!" Next to him, Sun Yi suddenly looked up at Sun Quan, "Second brother, I hope you can give me a chance."
