The Three Kingdoms

What happened last night allowed him to see the opportunity, and he understood what Sun Jian was most worried about.

…………

In the lobby of the Sheriff's Mansion, Sun Jian knelt in the center with a gloomy expression, Sun Quan and Sun Ce were there, and people like Cheng Pu, Zhu Zhi, and Gao Dai on the left and right looked very heavy.

"Tell me, what should the Gu family do?" Sun Jian said in a deep voice.

They were discussing how to deal with the Gu family, and the problem of the Gu family became a big problem for everyone.

Sun Jian held tens of thousands of elite Jiangdong soldiers in his hands, and he had already controlled the counties in Wu County. He had enough soldiers and food, and the destruction of the Gu family was just a matter of flipping, but Sun Jian might not be able to bear the consequences of the destruction of the Gu family.

It is easy to destroy the Gu family, but it is an unwise choice to offend the aristocratic family. The aristocratic family is not just talking about it. In the era of the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the aristocratic family controlled most of the world, including public opinion, land, population... Influence too big.

To put it bluntly, if Sun Jian kills the Gu family, the Lu family with cold lips and teeth will definitely take the lead and unite the entire Jiangdong to resist the rule of the Sun family. Not only will there be wars in Wujun, but the soldiers and horses in Danyang, Kuaiji will also kill them. Enter Wu County.

Of course, with Sun Jian's current strength, he wouldn't be afraid. At most, the killing would be a little heavier. At that time, I'm afraid he would really start a big killing spree. If he didn't kill tens of thousands of people, it would be difficult to calm down. It is difficult to gain a foothold in Jiangdong.

But since Gu Zhou was exposed, it is absolutely impossible not to deal with the people who assassinated the Sun family. If there is no strong attitude, the Jiangdong family will only become more and more arrogant. How to grasp this speed will become a headache for Sun Jian.

Everyone also scratched their heads, each of them was silent, unable to think of a reason, so the atmosphere above the lobby was a little gloomy.

"What's the matter with you guys, you're all dumb, talk!" Sun Jian stared helplessly, and growled, "Zhongmou, tell me."

"Father, there's no need to rush this matter, the child is also thinking about it!" Sun Quan sat on the wheelchair, leaning against Sun Jian's side, and smiled wryly.

Sun Quan is only able to see many things more thoroughly than ordinary people by relying on the knowledge of 800 years beyond this era, but he is not as good as some top counselors.

Now Sun Jian has countless generals, but he lacks some top-notch advisers, and Cheng Pu is at best a top-notch adviser.

"My lord!" At this time, a guard of the county guard's mansion walked in, knelt down on one knee, and reported, "There is a man outside, named Zhang Zhao, who wants to join the lord. He claims that he can relieve the lord of his current worries."

"Zhang Zhao? Where does this person come from? He has such a big tone!"

When everyone heard this, they were slightly angry. They discussed for a long time, but they didn't have a reason, but a stranger said that the matter could be solved, and they were suddenly a little angry.

"What did you say his name was?" Sun Quan was overjoyed when he heard the words, looked at the guard sharply, and asked hastily, "Answer me quickly!"

"He said, his name is Zhang Zhao, and his name is Zibu." The guard was stunned, and hurriedly said loudly.

"Zhang Zhao, Zhang Zibu? Hahaha... please, no, father, this person has the talent of Xiao He, you should welcome him personally!" Sun Quan laughed loudly, unexpectedly, Zhang Zhao, whom he had been looking for, would automatically Deliver it to your door.

Sun Jian settled in Wu County and opened the gates of his residence. Although there were scattered people who came to seek refuge, they were at most talents who were the masters of a county, and none of the top counselors were seen.

[Text Chapter 74: Kill Xu, Kill Gu, Leave Zhang! ]

In the history of the Three Kingdoms, Sun Ce was able to defeat Jiangdong, the biggest reliance was two people, one was Zhou Yu and the other was Zhang Zhao.

These two are the top strategists in Jiangdong, and they are on the same level as Cao Cao's Wang Zuozhi's talented Xun Yu and the ghostly Guo Jia. Among the top wise men of this era, one is good at fighting and the other is good at governing.

Historically, in the fifth year of Jian'an, after Sun Ce was assassinated, he left without support for a few days. Before he died, he handed over the land of Jiangdong to Sun Quan. At the same time, he also gave Sun Quan a sentence. Undecided to ask Zhou Yu.

This means that you can rely on Zhou Yu in military affairs, and you can rely on Zhang Zhao in government affairs. One can imagine Zhang Zhao's position in Sun Ce's heart.

........................

Ever since Sun Quan promised Sun Jian to find talents for the Jiangdong army, he has been paying attention to Zhang Zhao and wanted to find out this top strategist in advance, but he didn't know much about Zhang Zhao's history, and he didn't know if this person was in Jiangdong. The sea is vast, and I have no clue.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Zhao delivered it to the door in person today, and Sun Quan was overjoyed all of a sudden.

"Zhongmou, are you saying that this person deserves to be greeted by me personally?" Sun Jian was slightly taken aback, raised his eyebrows, and glanced at Sun Quan. He was in a high position, so he naturally had his arrogance.

"It's worth it!" Sun Quan nodded firmly.

If Zhang Zhao wasn't worthy of Sun Jian's personal welcome, Zhuge Kongming wouldn't be worthy of Liu Bei's visiting thatched cottage. Sun Quan has been in this world for a long time, and he deeply understands the kind of respect that those talented people in this era want.

"Okay then, I believe in your vision as a father, and you all come with me." Sun Jian was silent for a while, and then raised his voice.

"promise!"

Although everyone was a little reluctant, but Sun Jian had already left, and they had no reason to sit still.

Although Sun Jian didn't know much about Zhang Zhao, he believed in Sun Quan's eyes. Since Sun Quan, who has always been picky, paid so much attention to Zhang Zhao, then this Zhang Zhao must have something special.

So he followed Sun Quan's wishes and led the officials of the county guard's mansion to go out to meet Zhang Zhao in person.

This action of Sun Jian startled Zhang Zhao who was already a little nervous.

"Pengcheng Zhang Zhao, Zhang Zibu, meet General Polu." In the front yard of the prefect's mansion, Zhang Zhao looked at Sun Jian and the others, not only surprised, but also a little moved. salute.

Although he made some announcements in Pengcheng, Xuzhou, to Jiangdong, he was just an unknown person, and Sun Jian was the world-renowned Marquis of Wucheng, General Polu, and even a famous tiger in Jiangdong. He was able to greet him in person, It is the most important thing to him, and now he is still bringing all the officials of the county guard with him, which shows Sun Jian's respect for him.

This made him more convinced of his decision that Sun Jian was a hero worthy of his trust.

"Zibu, it's the general's blessing that you come to seek refuge with me. You don't need to be too polite. Let's talk inside."

Sun Jian stared at the middle-aged Confucian scholar in front of him with a pair of tiger eyes. He was about 34, and his clothes were a bit worn out. There were several patches on them, but they were very neat.

Although Sun Jian still couldn't see anything special about this Zhang Zhao, he was still patient and kindly took Zhang Zhao's hand and walked into the lobby.

"No!" Zhang Zhao was a little flattered, and as everyone stepped into the rigorous lobby of the Sheriff's Mansion, he glanced slightly, and immediately understood that the dozen or so people here were all high-ranking Jiangdong Army.

However, these people, except for Sun Jian, obviously have a little bit of hostility towards him, which is within his expectation. Since he said at the door that he can relieve Sun Jian's worries, he has undoubtedly offended these high-level Jiangdong Army. It is not a big problem that he can gain a firm foothold in the Jiangdong Army.

"Zibu, come, sit here!" Walking into the lobby, Sun Jian took the first seat again, then stretched out his hand, pointed to the seat beside him, and said with a smile.

Scratching... All the eyes stared at Zhang Zhao with jealousy.

"No!" After arriving here, Zhang Zhao didn't have the slightest stage fright. Instead, he relaxed and knelt down beside Sun Jian, which made Sun Jian's eyes light up slightly. Although he didn't know what Zhang Zhao's talent was, But at least he does a good job of nourishing his energy.

After all, it is not something ordinary people can do for a stranger to sit calmly beside him in front of all the high-ranking officers of the Jiangdong Army.

"Mr. Zhang, you said just now that you can solve my lord's worries, but I don't know what your lord's worries are?" Everyone obviously distrusted this middle-aged Confucian scholar. In the lobby, a man stood up and asked sharply.

"Of course!"

Zhang Zhao took a deep breath, greeted him with his eyes, and did not flinch at all, showing a kind of toughness. He knew that if he wanted to gain a firm foothold in the Jiangdong Army, he could not shrink back. He had to show that he could value him as much as Sun Jian did. Come.

You treat me like a gentleman of the country, and I will repay you with a gentleman of the country!

"My lord's worry now is nothing more than Zhang Chu, Gu Zhou and Xu Gong!" Zhang Zhao said softly.

"This is something that everyone in Wu County knows, why bother to say it!" an official of the county guard's mansion said coldly.

"Hehe... Zhao also knows that what the lord is afraid of is the Jiangdong gentry now, and what he is thinking about now is not whether to kill or not to kill the three of them. The lord does not hesitate to lure the three of them out with the safety of the eldest son Nothing more than wanting to use them to deal with the deep-rooted gentry and gentry in Jiangdong.”

When Zhang Zhaozao left for the Sheriff's Mansion, he had already analyzed these things, and now he talked freely without the slightest hesitation, exuding a unique arrogance and confidence from his body.

"Zhang Zhao, don't talk nonsense." Cheng Pu's complexion changed slightly, and he shouted loudly.
