Unify the world? Sun Quan heard similar words too many times. Of course, this is also related to the fact that Sun Quan has trained countless young and energetic generals, but in the final analysis, these people only think about making achievements, or in other words, ambitions.
But ambition? If Sun Quan was really ambitious, with his talent and vision, it would not be too much to go to Europe, right? Then why did Sun Quan never think about that? True, he has no ambition. What Sun Quan has is just feelings.
Sun Quan has always had a blueprint in his heart. Although he never deliberately planned it, as long as he reached that territory, Sun Quan would be satisfied. Sun Quan is a fake military strategist. He has no gene in his bones that he likes fighting.
The above is one of Sun Quan's feelings about Ma Chao's words. He never thought that he could have such a "confidant" in a far away place. However, what really made Sun Quan think seriously was another matter——
Where did the "feelings" that belonged to Sun Quan go?
I remember that when he first came to this world, Sun Quan had a lot of feelings and he wanted to change many things. But as time went by, why did Sun Quan change? Is it because I feel discouraged that I have become adrift? No! Sun Quan knows better than anyone that he has the strength to change, but he is not very interested anymore.
Daoxin!
In an instant, Sun Quan found the source.
What is a Taoist? To use two sentences from later generations to describe it, they are "none of my business" and "none of your business". He is not interested in things around him and is not affected by the surrounding environment. He is free and goes his own way, just like Zuo Ci. And now Sun Quan has similar signs.
At the beginning, Sun Quan, inside, was worried about the relationship between brothers, the marriage of sisters, and even the possible disputes among future generations; outside, locust plague, Wuhu chaos, including the development of productivity, were all within the scope of Sun Quan's consideration. What was Sun Quan doing at that time? It’s for a “feeling”.
But now, as for Sun Shangxiang's escape from marriage? She just needs to be happy. Possible fights for future generations? Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Even Sun Quan was a bit childish about unifying the world. Sun Quan seemed to have suddenly looked away from everything.
This is the terrible Taoist heart! And what's the scariest thing? The most terrifying thing is? Even if Sun Quan realizes this at this moment, he still doesn't feel anything.
To use an inappropriate analogy? Did you like soft girls when you were young? You are said to be a non-soft girl, but you end up marrying a royal sister and living a happy life many years later. Looking back, do you feel that you have forgotten your original intention? No? You will only smile at the youth you once had. (Then who: I want both →_→)
Huh? If Sun Quan was a pure Taoist, he would not change anything.
But at this moment, no one knows whether Sun Quan's possessed Taoist heart will begin to take root because of Ma Chao's casual words.
??????
"This Ma Chao is a bit interesting. I plan to let him be the champion of martial arts this time."
Sun Quan said this after making arrangements for Ma Chao.
"Did you really believe his lies? Are you afraid that he is, um, directing and acting?" Dou Yuru asked.
"Ma Chao's purpose of coming must not be simple? He must be hiding something." Sun Quan unexpectedly replied, "Sentiment? Really talk about feelings? Liu Bei or Cao Cao's feelings are much higher than mine."
Liu Bei, who suffered repeated defeats and repeated defeats, was obviously the weakest one, but always wanted to help the Han Dynasty. From a spiritual level, he was the person Sun Quan admired the most.
Cao Cao was in a chaotic place in the Central Plains. Even though he was not strong enough and was surrounded by enemies on all sides, he dared to coerce the emperor and order the princes. He was a real hero.
In contrast, although the current Sun Quan is the most powerful one, most of the Jiangdong gentry are relatively peaceful and have no strong will to cross the Yangtze River and expand northward. It can be said that when others hit them, they can exert 12% of their strength, but if they are asked to hit others, they may only exert 60% of their strength.
"Ma Chao did not seek refuge with the strong, but with his feelings. He may have seen that I only have a 'shield' in my hand now, but I am missing a 'spear'." Sun Quan said.
"Can't Ma Chao see Zhou Yu in his eyes?" Dou Yuru questioned. As we all know, Governor Zhou Yu is the largest militant faction in Jiangdong. Is this not considered the Spear of Jiangdong?
"Zhou Yu is a handsome man, not a soldier willing to fight. When Ma Chao comes, he will naturally bring brave Xiliang soldiers. The rest depends on what Ma Chao wants." Sun Quan said.
Dou Yuru raised her pretty eyebrows and looked at Sun Quan and said,
"You are so smart, what do you think he wants?"
"Children of aristocratic families cannot be motivated by their own ideals, they must be motivated by the family. Therefore, there are only two possibilities." Sun Quan stretched out a finger, "One, to build momentum. As far as I know, Ma Tenghan There was some disagreement, and there were frequent conflicts between subordinates on both sides. If Ma Chao's son could have a relationship with my Sun family, Han Sui would definitely be wary."
"Jiangdong is the farthest from the northwest. If Han Sui is to be defeated, why doesn't Ma Chao go to Cao Cao directly? I believe Cao Cao will definitely pay more attention to him than us at this time." Dou Yuru couldn't help but ask.
"Going to Cao Cao will directly intensify the conflict. Only distant friendship can maintain the balance. Besides, if you go to Cao Cao at this time, won't you worry about being sent to Chibi as cannon fodder?" Sun Quan explained.
"That makes sense." Dou Yuru nodded, "What about the second one?"
"Second, the northwest is too bitter. Ma Teng misses the prosperity of the Central Plains." Sun Quan laughed softly. Ma Teng is not an unambitious person. Since the Dong Zhuo period, Ma Teng has wanted to send troops to Guanzhong several times. The chaos among the princes in the northwest has always restricted Ma Teng, but as Ma Teng and Han Sui's rule in the northwest grew, what Ma Teng really lacked was an opportunity. Now, the opportunity has come.
In the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao would definitely use all his strength to face the powerful Sun Quan. In the north, Yuan Shao's son continued the civil war. At this time, who can stop Ma Teng from entering?
Of course, many people may not believe that Sun Quan's martial arts skills are unparalleled in the world, but Sun Quan's cunning is known to the world. Whether the so-called Battle of Chibi would really start, and whether Sun Quan would be the one to use it as a cover, became Ma Teng's biggest concern, so Ma Chao took the initiative to help.
"Even if Yuan Shao dies, there will be more than just Sun, Cao, and Liu among the princes in the world."
"Then you still want Ma Chao to be the number one pick?" Dou Yuru couldn't help but ask.
"It is better to choose the lesser of two evils than to let Zhao Yun or Zhang Liao be the top pick. Besides, Ma Teng's intervention will also increase our chances of winning the Battle of Chibi." Sun Quan said.
"Aren't you afraid of creating a more powerful enemy?" Dou Yuru asked.
"Who is the rival of the heroes of the world? Cao Liu. In comparison, Ma Teng is just a prince. Those who win the hearts of the people win the world. From Dong Zhuo to Li Jue and Guo Si, the people of the Central Plains have been afraid of people coming from the northwest. So sometimes, You have to believe in fate." Sun Quan said.
"Yes, who has a better life than you, Sun Zhongmou? Just when he was worried, Wu Zhuangyuan took the initiative to send it to him." Dou Yuru said with a smile.
"Don't be too optimistic. If you want to ensure that Ma Chao is admitted to the top pick, you have to use some tricks." Sun Quan touched his chin, thinking about what kind of cards he still had in his hand, but this time he wanted to use them on others.
