Sun Quan's sudden departure made everyone in Jiangdong fearful.
The civil servants headed by Zhang Zhao were mainly worried about Sun Quan's reorganized selection of troops. When Cihang Jingzhai withdrew, Sun Quan's selection team was stranded for a time. However, now, Sun Quan and Sun Jing have reached an agreement to let the Sun family's children fill the selection team. In this way, the selection team can be reactivated.
But in this way, today's selection department is completely different from the original selection department. The original selection of talents regardless of their origins, and Cihang Jingzhai's impartiality can be regarded as a reform move by Sun Quan. In the long run, it will definitely weaken the power of the big families, disperse their power, and let the smaller families Even disciples from wealthy families were given opportunities, which was why the opposition was so loud in the first place.
But now, the selection is controlled by the descendants of the Sun family. No matter what the tone set by Sun Quan, the descendants of the aristocratic family will never be as fair and just as Cihang Jingzhai. The private relationships of interest and kinship are too complicated. It is hard to say whether it will weaken the power of other families, but it will definitely expand the power of the Sun family. Over time, all Jiangdong political leaders will be people related to the Sun family!
The above is what the civil servants were most worried about. After Sun Quan issued the order, he left directly, leaving them no chance to raise objections. The selection department was put into operation immediately, and Zhang Zhao and others even speculated whether Sun Quan did it intentionally.
After civil servants came military generals. The former Sun Quan was from a completely different faction than Sun Ce. Sun Quan had his own team in Xuzhou. This caused the military generals who were originally under Sun Ce to worry about whether Sun Quan would continue to reuse them.
As a result, what was originally just a worry was that this time Sun Quan suddenly went on an expedition and only brought with him a few senior generals such as Zhou Yu. The key is not to take them with him, and the remaining people haven't even received news. This makes people wonder whether they have been excluded from the core members by Sun Quan. Will these people still have the opportunity to make achievements, be promoted and make a fortune, and honor their ancestors in the future? Are you going to retire in Jiangdong?
If the civil servants and generals are still worried, then the various forces visiting Jiangdong are now completely panicked and frightened.
Everyone is speculating whether Sun Quan has reached a private agreement with someone else. Sun Quan's sudden expedition must have a goal, right? They were all worried whether Sun Quan's target would be their camp. After all, the only thing they were sure of was that Sun Quan had not reached an agreement with them.
As a result, everyone racked their brains and tried every means, just to get the news of Sun Quan's expedition back to their headquarters before Sun Quan's urgent march arrived. Regardless of whether Sun Quan's target is them or not, necessary countermeasures must be prepared.
"This Sun Zhongmou is so cunning! When all parties thought he was going to negotiate, he actually went directly to the war!"
"This move caught everyone off guard. Sun Tzu's Art of War is indeed terrifying."
"Yeah, who would have imagined it. He has just returned to Jiangdong."
"Of course, Zhou Yu's role cannot be underestimated. As the saying goes, before the soldiers and horses are moved, food and grass go first. In fact, before any military operation, there are always some clues, but this time, Sun Quan was not prepared at all. Before all of us set our sights on When it came to him, Zhou Yu had already done it for him in advance before he came back from Xuzhou. Be prepared!"
"It seems that these two people didn't have much interaction before, right? Why can they cooperate so well?"
"Also, have you noticed that someone has been staring at us in the dark recently? It may be difficult to leave now."
"Before coming here, I had already made plans to stay in Jiangdong forever. The key is how to convey this news as soon as possible?"
"By the time Sun Quan's troops arrive at the city, it will be too late!"
Of course, in addition to these big shots, there are still some people in Jiangdong who are also in trouble.
"Miss, what's going on? Didn't you personally set up this formation? Why can't we get out now?" the maid said anxiously.
The two masters and servants were familiar with each other all the way. They followed Sun Quan's large team from Xuzhou to Wu County in Jiangdong.
Zhen Mi had a serious expression, observing her surroundings vigilantly and carefully.
"My formation has been tampered with." Zhen Mi said in a deep voice.
The little maid may not understand why this kind of thing happens, but as an expert, Zhen Mi doesn't know how powerful she is. Formations, in later generations, are like a set of sophisticated instruments. It may be easy to set up, and it may be easy to dismantle, but if you want to transform it without destroying the original structure, it is quite incredible. .
Well, at least before today, Zhen Mi thought that this kind of thing was impossible, but the facts are before her eyes, and now someone has indeed done it. Zhen Mi can be sure that her original formation has not been touched. Someone added other things to her formation, turning the original formation into another unknown formation, and this new formation The formation was far more complex than imagined, so much so that even Zhen Mi was trapped inside.
"Who would do such a thing? Is there no danger, miss?" The little maid grabbed Zhen Mi nervously.
Zhen Mi smiled coldly,
"Humph, who else could it be besides Sun Zhongmou! Let me just say, he must have seen me at that time! Ignoring me, right? Using formations to tease me, right? This lady has been studying formations for so many years, I don’t believe it anymore. In terms of formation, I, Bei Zhenmi, can’t compare to you, Nan Sunquan!”
Zhen Mi must use conventional means to break Sun Quan's formation!

This side, on the march,
"What, you don't listen to me, are you scolded?" Pan Zhang smiled at Lu Meng, "My lord has been in a bad mood recently, but you still want to get into trouble. Isn't this looking for scolding?"
"If you don't report what you know, you are a treacherous minister." Lu Meng glanced at Pan Zhang disdainfully.
During this expedition, Sun Quan brought all three of his direct descendants: Lu Meng, Zhou Tai, and Pan Zhang. However, despite their respective experiences, Pan Zhang and Lu Meng and Zhou Tai still dislike each other as before.
"It doesn't matter if you are a traitor, as long as you are not a rebel, the one who lives the longest will always be a traitor." Pan Zhang muttered.
While the two were communicating, they suddenly saw Qin Chuan approaching Sun Quan with a sullen face. Pan Zhang suddenly sneered.
"Another one who is not afraid of death. Relying on favor is not the way to use it."
"People like you will never reach the top. My lord is a man of righteousness. You may be following the wrong person." Lu Meng said from the side.
"Really?" Pan Zhang looked at Lu Meng, "Then I would like to congratulate Brother Lu in advance for reaching the top."
After saying that, the two colleagues with different values turned and left one after another.
On the other side, Diao Chan, who transformed into Qin Chuan in the army, approached Sun Quan.
"Zhong Mou, I hope you can give me an explanation. You and I have put in countless efforts to establish the selection department. What does this arrangement mean now?"
