Because Sun Quan left in a hurry at that time, Diao Chan didn't get the news until some things were actually carried out in Jiangdong.
Diao Chan had never been a person who was greedy for power, and she never thought about serving in Jiangdong's selection department. But Sun Quan suddenly made this arrangement, which obviously excluded her from the selection.
Sun Quan had no one to use, so he had no choice but to use direct members of the Sun family. Diao Chan could understand, but without her as an "outsider" to keep an eye on the selection department for supervision, the selection department would only become the power structure of the Sun family.
Diao Chan would not have thought of the concerns of Zhang Zhao and others, and Diao Chan also believed that Sun Quan would not have thought poorly of them. Therefore, Sun Quan knew this and did it deliberately. What did he want to do?
To be honest, from Diao Chan's point of view, it is better to continue to shelve the selection department now!
"That is just a move to stabilize the situation. If you feel it is inappropriate, you can change it at any time in the future. No matter what the future holds, at least in the beginning, this selection must be fair." Sun Quan replied. Department selection is his hard work and is his channel for selecting talents in the future. Sun Quan can only discover many famous figures in history through this method. So for Sun Quan, first of all, the selection of troops cannot be shelved, otherwise the talents on your side will have no chance and sooner or later they will defect to other camps; secondly, it must be in Sun Quan's own hands; and finally, it is a matter of fairness and unfairness.
"Without supervision, corruption will only breed. Instead of asking for changes later, why not prevent this from happening in the first place?" Diao Chan questioned Sun Quan. As long as she was put into the selection department from the beginning, how could there be these other problems?
"I don't want to see anything happen to you." Sun Quan suddenly said, his face more solemn than ever.
Diao Chan was startled. She didn't expect it to be such a reason at first.
"It is true that I may be in danger when I stay in the selection department, but we can't stop eating because of choking!" Diao Chan couldn't help but said, "You should know better than anyone else what is the seriousness of this matter."
Sun Quan shook his head and stopped Diao Chan from speaking.
"Today is different from the past. The current selection department does not have the entire Cihang Jingzhai behind it. You are the only one. If you are not willing to join the others, the pressure and danger you will face will be unimaginable. What do you think is more important? Then I Let me tell you, in my heart, you are more important." Sun Quan replied seriously. Seeing that Diao Chan wanted to say something more, he took the initiative to speak.
"Diao Chan, listen to me, okay? I really can't bear any blow now." Sun Quan said bitterly.
Seeing Sun Quan's painful expression, Diao Chan suddenly realized that she seemed to have been ignoring Sun Quan's feelings recently. Thinking about it carefully, Sun Quan's state was obviously not right recently, especially in the past few days.
"Zhongmou, are you okay?" Diao Chan quickly grabbed Sun Quan's hand and asked with concern.
In fact, it’s not the fault of Diao Chan’s oversight. It’s because Sun Quan’s situation is too special. It stands to reason that Sun Ce is dead, and Sun Quan has gone through a trough period when he was in Xiapi. On the way back to Jiangdong, he has basically recovered. Especially after Huaiyin, Diao Chan clearly felt that Sun Quan's mood was not so heavy.
In this way, Diao Chan naturally no longer worried about Sun Quan. Who would have thought that not long after, and nothing happened during this period, Sun Quan suddenly became gloomy and depressed again, even compared to the beginning. Worse than that.
In the end what happened? No! Something must have happened! Diao Chan had that feeling. Sun Quan must be hiding something from her, otherwise Sun Quan wouldn't be in this state of fear, hesitation, and extremely nervous about the people around him.
Diao Chan was right. Sun Quan is feeling extremely uncomfortable right now. The key is that he is also extremely depressed. Because about Sun Ce, Sun Quan couldn't talk to anyone, not even the original insiders Zhou Yu and Mrs. Wu, Sun Quan couldn't tell, let alone tell. Sun Quan couldn't imagine that if his eldest brother Sun Ce really lost his life, how would he go back and talk to his mother? !
Therefore, Sun Quan is actually a little scared now. He is afraid of going to Lujiang to face the truth. But for the slightest possibility, Sun Quan had to rush to Lujiang.
It is precisely because Sun Quan's current situation is not right that some things are not handled thoroughly enough. Otherwise, there would not be so many people in Jiangdong worrying about the future during this period.
"Zhong Mou, if you have something on your mind, you can come to me. Maybe you think I can't help you solve the problem, but..."
Before Diao Chan finished speaking, she suddenly fell silent because someone suddenly broke in.
Who is qualified to enter Sun Quan's camp without notification? Here, Zhou Yu is probably the only one. But even Zhou Yu wouldn't be able to break in easily if it wasn't an absolutely urgent matter.
Entering the camp, Zhou Yu saw Diao Chan hurriedly retracting her hand, making his already gloomy face even darker.
How unbecoming is it for a coach to secretly bring a woman into a military camp, hide in a room and have sex in broad daylight?
Of course, Zhou Yu also knows that Diao Chan is not an ordinary woman, and at some point, it may also play a role. Zhou Yu also understood that his view might be somewhat subjective, and the truth of the matter would not be so one-sided. But when marching and fighting, you must first have absolute self-control. As a role model for the army, you don't follow the rules yourself, how can you expect to be able to follow military orders?
Therefore, in Zhou Yu's view, Sun Quan was wrong from the beginning by bringing Diao Chan. Just thinking that Sun Quan was rarely willing to cooperate with him and immediately left Wu Jun and rushed to Lujiang, Zhou Yu chose to turn a blind eye.
Moreover, it would be fine if nothing happened, but now that something has happened, and Zhou Yu sees Sun Quan still flirting here, do you think his face will feel better?
"Lord, I have something important to report." Zhou Yu said, but his eyes were always looking at Diao Chan.
Diao Chan understood that Zhou Yu did not want her to appear here, so she signaled to Sun Quan, got up and left. When leaving, Diao Chan kept frowning, not knowing what made Zhou Yu so urgent.
Zhou Yu waited until Diao Chan left the door before speaking to Sun Quan,
"Lord, something happened over there in Lujiang."
Sun Quan's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously thought of Sun Ce, and said hurriedly,
"What happened?"
"Defeat! Defeat on all fronts! Miserable defeat!" Zhou Yu said sadly, using three words of "defeat" to describe it.
"How can it be!"
Sun Quan sat up in shock and stood up.
"Sun Bi and Xu Kun have joined forces, and they only have a small area in Lujiang? Is it Cao Cao? Or is it Liu Biao?" Sun Quan couldn't help but ask. Unless powerful foreign aid suddenly arrives, otherwise, even if they are defeated, it will not be a complete rout or even a disastrous defeat.
"You shouldn't. If Cao Cao and Liu Biao dare to intervene, aren't they worried about my complete alliance with Yuan Shao?"
This made Sun Quan very puzzled.
"The specific battle report is still unclear. I only got news that Xu Kun died in the battle!" Zhou Yu's face was heavy. Maybe he was at odds with Xu Kun, but Zhou Yu knew better than anyone that Xu Kun was in the Jiangdong Army. What exactly does it mean.
