On the riverside, on the boulder, accompanied by the moonlight, the figures of Ma Chao and his entourage sneaking back to the river bank were also looming.
"How many people went and how many came back? It seems like nothing happened." Zhen Mi said softly, with a rather joking tone.
Sun Quan touched his chin. Although he was a little surprised by the result, it was not too embarrassing.
Just follow the plan?
That's right, Sun Quan was taking advantage of his plan. But Sun Quan himself didn't know exactly what the plan was. There are too many variables in this matter. Even if he is immersed in the situation and uses the "Let me think twice" skill, Sun Quan cannot guarantee that things will develop in the direction he imagined. Sun Quan just made some plans based on certain variables.
For example, Sun Quan is optimistic about Ma Chao, but Ma Chao will definitely win? Otherwise. If Ma Chao really died here, it would be a pity and it would also waste many of Sun Quan's previous plans, but from another perspective, Sun Quan may also lose a powerful enemy in the future, which is not a loss. Therefore, Sun Quan did not need to deliberately protect Ma Chao, the martial champion he had appointed in advance.
Now, nothing happens. Sun Quan had naturally thought about this situation in advance, but what interested Sun Quan was the reason why nothing happened.
"Any little person can fan the flames, but those who can stop fighting must be smart people. Maybe there are people who want to compete with this No. 1 scholar." Sun Quan touched his chin and said.
"Didn't the scholar come to give you an advantage?" Zhen Mi said.
"Originally, I thought the same way. After all, Jiangdong is a remote area. It has been far away from the political, economic and cultural center for a long time, and many places are underdeveloped. This situation cannot be changed quickly with drastic construction. It requires many talented civil servants to go deep into the grassroots. Let’s develop in a subtle way.” Sun Quan said.
Civil servants did not control the army, and what Sun Quan needed was not a war counselor like Guo Jia. What Sun Quan wanted was an internal affairs talent like Xun Yu. For this kind of person, by the time he can do something, the value he has produced will be countless. Besides, how big of a thing can he do? The typical benefits far outweigh the risks.
"However, there are not exceptions here. In my impression, there is also a civil servant who can make trouble." Sun Quan suddenly said.
"who?"
"A guy named Zhuge Liang."
"Zhuge Liang?"
At this moment, the name Zhuge Liang is still unfamiliar to most people. However, Sun Shangxiang, who had just returned from Jingzhou, happened to have heard of it.
"Liu Bei's new young man? Can he compare to Xun Yu?"
"No one can tell who is strong or weak among people. But Zhuge Liang is much better than Xun Yu in terms of destiny."
"Can you tell fortunes?" Zhen Mi looked at Sun Quan suspiciously. This guy is not very old. It makes no sense that he knows everything.
"You know a little bit, would you like me to help you with your fortune telling?" Sun Quan replied.
"It's better to keep it for yourself." Zhen Mi turned her head, not wanting to look at Sun Quan's hateful smile.

This way,
"Sister, why are you here in person? It's too risky." After sending Zhang Liao away, Zhuge Liang approached Diao Chan and said.
"It's not me who takes the risk, it's you." Diao Chan replied.
Zhuge Liang was stunned.
"How to say?"
The purpose of Zhuge Liang's trip was to defuse a war and prevent the Cao and Liu alliance from going into chaos without a fight. Under the premise that Sun Shangxiang himself was not present, Zhuge Liang thought he could still control the situation.
"Aren't you afraid that Sun Quan will leave all three of you here?" Diao Chan asked directly.
"Sun Quan wants to mobilize enough troops to destroy our three parties to cross the river. It's impossible that there will be no movement, right?" Zhuge Liang asked back.
"Impossible? Don't use common sense to think about Sun Quan. Remember, when dealing with Sun Quan, you can only consider things that are absolutely certain. That man has the possibility to change anything!" Diao Chan said seriously.
"Senior sister reminded me." Zhuge Liang had been in contact with Sun Quan relatively early. He could not underestimate Sun Quan. "But that man also has weaknesses, doesn't he?" Zhuge Liang looked at Diao Chan and said.
What is Sun Quan's weakness? Emphasis on love. Otherwise, Diao Chan wouldn't have said she didn't take risks. As long as she, Diao Chan, is here, Sun Quan cannot attack indiscriminately! This is not Diao Chan's self-confidence, Diao Chan believes in her understanding of Sun Quan.
"Since it is a weakness, we are not the only ones who can take advantage of it." Diao Chan sighed softly. This is why Diao Chan tried countless times and finally gave up and left Sun Quan. Sun Quan is not the kind of person who would kill relatives for justice, nor would he alienate another person who has an equally good relationship just because he has a good relationship with one person.
"In short, if we want to win this time, we must not be led by Sun Quan. We must make a move that Sun Quan cannot imagine." Diao Chan said.

The imperial examination is a grand event. Compared with the liberal arts examination, the martial arts examination is naturally much more lively. It has real swords and guns, the winner is obvious, there is an audience, there are topics, and it is also more popular.
Although Ma Chao has become much calmer since that night, staying in the simple world and no longer running around, but as the game progresses, Ma Chao's reputation is still getting higher and higher, unless one day, he is defeated. .
In contrast, the Liberal Arts Examination side has always been quiet and quiet. There are only notices posted for the preliminary examination and the re-examination, and they are all cold lists. Except for the participants, it is difficult for outsiders to see much of it.
As a result, it is precisely this literary test that has become more popular among senior officials than the martial arts test.
On this day, Zhang Zhao came to Sun Quan with good news.
"Lord, there are so many talents from all over the country to take the exam! This is the re-examination. If the list wasn't limited, I wouldn't have the heart to pass on several of them. To put it bluntly, they are much better than some of our current officials. Even if they don’t succeed, the Lord should still find a way to keep them here.”
"A lot of talent?" Sun Quan tilted his head, "Show me the list."
The local gentry in Jiangdong have basically been excavated. Even if there are some scattered ones, they are unwilling to become officials. Therefore, the talents Zhang Zhao calls must be foreign talents.
As we all know, Sun Quan's territory is expanding rapidly. Now he is short of scribes and management talents. Will other princes be stupid enough to send people to Sun Quan?
This is why, at the beginning, everyone's attention was on the martial arts test, where the generals were in charge of the troops, and those who participated often had ulterior motives. But the civil servants, Sun Quan didn't need to use them in vain. Anyway, they were all grassroots cadres who came to solve Sun Quan's urgent needs. Even if the purpose was not pure, it would not have much impact. Therefore, everyone, including Sun Quan, initially regarded the literary test as an internal self-examination within Jiangdong. Sun Quan had already selected several young people as candidates for the top prize in this literary test.
Holding the list, Sun Quan frowned slightly.
"A lot of strangers."
Those who are talented and willing to take the imperial examination are usually well-known. There are too many strangers, and I am afraid that many of them have pseudonyms.
"There are many family members, so it's hard to come here openly." Zhang Zhao explained.
"You can't hide something from someone who is interested." Sun Quan said calmly.
Zhang Zhao was startled and instantly woke up from his joy.
"My lord reminds me that there may be some problems in this."
It doesn't matter if one or two of them have problems. If ten or twenty of them have problems, even if they are just grassroots cadres, once they want to do something, the impact will still be very big.
"By the way, are there any problems with Lu Xun and Bu Zhi, whom I am optimistic about?" Sun Quan suddenly asked.
Zhang Zhao thought about his words and replied,
"The top ten should be no problem."
"It's interesting." Sun Quan touched his chin, "It seems that someone wants to play a big game of chess with me."
