The Three Kingdoms started from fooling Jia Xu

Chapter 243 Ingenuity Embroidery

Yangzhou is the world of his four surnames,
Was Zhang Xiu too impatient to insert Zhuge Liang in so forcefully?After all, once Zhuge Liang settles in, Yangzhou is not what they say.

The aristocratic family pays most attention to their own interests, and Zhang Xiu's move is tantamount to weakening their disposable interests.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhao strode out, looking at Zhang Xiu with burning eyes,

Said in a deep voice: "My lord, Zhao thought that although Kong Ming was very talented, he was still young after all, so it's better to start from a county first, otherwise someone might criticize him in the future."

"Criticism? Who dares to criticize?"

Zhang Xiu said in a low voice, pretending to be puzzled by Zhang Zhao's words, but in his heart he was secretly cursing that this guy was too ugly, and he was probably the one who criticized him.

"This..." Zhang Zhao was at a loss for words for a while.

He never expected Zhang Xiu to say that.

"Zibu, I've heard for a long time that you have the ability to know the world, and now the situation in Jingzhou is in turmoil. After the war is over, you will follow me to Jingzhou to serve as the governor of Jingzhou."

Zhang Xiu had sincere eyes and said in a deep voice.

"Chairman of Jingzhou?" Zhang Zhao was taken aback. "My lord, Zhao is nearly half a century old. He has already become sick from overwork and cannot withstand the ups and downs. What's more, Jingzhou has outstanding people and Wang Zuozhi's talents are countless. How dare Zhao take the position."

Zhang Zhao panicked, can this nima not panic?

If he failed to become a general, he was instead made a general.

Zhang Xiu obviously wanted to transfer himself out of the territory, thereby weakening the influence of the Zhang family. Although he and the Zhang family in Wujun were not in the same family, he was a big family himself.

Coupled with the fact that they have been in charge of the military and government in the past few years, the family power has already suppressed the Zhang family of the original four families.

"It deserves it. Zibu has the talent of Wang Zuo, so he deserves it. Jingzhou has the best medical craftsman, who can cure all kinds of diseases. That's the decision."

Zhang Xiu said while talking and laughing.

He sneered in his heart, he didn't know what he was going to do, he was so full of bad water, it was obvious that he wanted to take root in Wu Jun, so as to better control one side.

He did this, on the one hand, to weaken the Zhang family, and on the other hand, to tell the rest of his attitude. As for Zhuge Liang, he also had his own intentions in letting him go to Yangzhou.

In Jia Xu's words, Zhuge Liang's faction should be weakened. Zhang Xiu knew that Zhuge Liang was loyal, and in addition to his outstanding talents, it would be best to transfer him away to prevent others from being jealous.

What's more, the Zhuge family can also compete with several big families in Wu County, which just allows him to bring in all the Zhuge family and strengthen his own team.

It stands to reason that Zhuge Jin hadn't become an official yet at this time.

He still learned this trick from the bureaucratic system of later generations. The purpose is to prevent officials from protecting each other and become bigger and stronger until he, the lord of Jingzhou, is emptied.

Of course, doing this is quite risky.

While chatting and laughing, Zhang Zhao was dealt with, and the rest of the family remained silent.There's no way, they can't screw Zhang Xiu's thigh, so they can only figure out a way in the future.

After a long time, the discussion ended.

Pan Zhang, Jiang Qin, He Qi, Quan Rou, etc. were all rewarded. Most of these people were placed under Zhuge Liang's command. Generals are different from scribes. These are only generals, and it is better to be local.

As the crowd receded, Zhuge Liang stayed behind. He looked at Zhang Xiu and shook his head helplessly, "My lord, you are trying to bring light and death."

"The four famous families in Jiangdong are not fuel-efficient lamps, so let Liang do what he wants."

"Hey~ Kong Ming's words are different. Since I entrust Yangzhou to you, I naturally want him to integrate into Jingzhou as soon as possible so that he can become bigger and stronger."

"As for you, Kong Ming, regardless of talent, morality, or leading the army in combat, I firmly believe in it. I am more assured that Yangzhou will be completely handed over to you."

After Zhang Xiu finished speaking, he patted Zhuge Liang on the shoulder with an expression that I like you young man.

Hearing Zhang Xiu's words, Zhuge Liang's body trembled slightly, feeling a little emotional in his heart, more grateful.Zhang Xiu asked him to lead the army, probably because of this plan.

To be able to trust the people above him so much, he has the urge to die for his confidant.No matter what, he wants to manage Yangzhou properly and guard the frontier.

"My lord, if you guard the river, you must guard the Huai River. Since Yangzhou is unified, you should command the army to occupy Shouchun as soon as possible, rebuild the city defense of Shouchun, and at the same time strengthen the important town of Hefei."

Zhuge Liang instantly entered the role and said.

"Kong Ming, since you are the shepherd of Yangzhou, you should do everything according to what you say, can't I still trust you?" Zhang Xiu said that it is up to you to decide.

To be a leader, one has to know people well.

"Ah, this..." Zhuge Liang was speechless.

Taking advantage of this time, Zhang Xiu escaped in a flash.

After leaving the mansion, looking at the scorching sun in the sky, Zhang Xiu curled his lips, led Hu Che'er, and a team of personal guards around the street for a few times, and picked up some peaches. .
Zhang Xiu gnawed at the peach, it was quite sweet, not the sweetness processed by the ripening agents of later generations, but the sweetness that the fruit should have, very delicious.

While eating the peaches, he headed straight for the dungeon.

There is still one person in the dungeon that he needs to deal with.

Not long after, in the dungeon.

Due to the large population of Wu County, there are more prisoners in the dungeon, and in the deepest part, there are several dungeons connected together.

Zhang Xiu approached, weighing the peach up and down in his hands, and saw Sun Quan's eyes lit up. He lay on the cell door, swallowed his saliva stiffly, and stared closely at the peach in Zhang Xiu's hand.

Since he was captured, he hadn't eaten or drank for several days. At this time, the corners of his mouth were covered with dead skin, and his eyes revealed longing.

Zhang Xiu didn't answer,

Instead, he went straight to the door of Zhou Yu's prison.

In the cell, although Zhou Yu was wearing a prison uniform and his hair was loose, he could still see his handsome face, but his pupils were a little blurred.

These days, his life is worse than death.

Every time he closed his pupils, he would dream of the scene where Sun Ce was preparing to fight to the death that day. He hated, hated himself for not being able to fight to the death with Sun Ce.

But he couldn't die, because he promised Sun Ce to protect his Sun family's safety.

However, he doesn't seem to have the ability anymore.

Open the cell and enter.

Zhang Xiu took out two pottery bowls and poured wine into them.

The smell of wine filled the prison, Zhou Yu frowned slightly, then stepped forward to grab the wine bowl and drank it down.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!
The wine was strong and choking, Zhou Yu blushed from the choking.

"Again, come again!"

Zhang Xiu poured him three small bowls in a row. After all, this is Moutai, so Zhou Yu would have to get down.

"Zhang Xiu, I know what you think, but you just want me to be an official with you." Zhou Yu's voice trembled slightly, a little drunk.

"It's okay for you to become an official, but let the Sun family go, I am willing to be loyal to you, okay?"

Zhang Xiu chuckled, because Zhou Yu's loyalty value was still negative, obviously it was because of him and Sun Ce that he couldn't let go, and it was probably because of Sun Ce that he agreed.

It's just that he dare not use such a person.

"Hehe, it seems that you guessed wrong. I don't intend to let you go out to serve." Zhang Xiu chuckled lightly, and immediately said: "Outside Xiangyang City, Wollongong, I have reserved a courtyard for Gongjin."

"For the rest of your life, you will live with Wollongong. In this way, I will spare the lives of the Sun family."

"But don't worry, you are not alone in Wollongong, you will not be lonely because of this, and there will be more in the future."

The corner of Zhang Xiu's mouth curled into a smile. It's a pity that Zhou Yu killed him. It's good to put both him and Guo Jia in Wollongong, and we will catch more in the future.

After speaking, Zhang Xiu laughed and left.
