The surprise attack on Jingzhou was defeated, and Jiangdong paid compensation and ceded territory.

Afterwards, Sun Quan stationed troops in Chaisang, summoned his confidant Lu Fan to temporarily take charge of the navy, and then returned to Jianye with a group of civil and military personnel.

The Jiangdong gentry provided money and materials to deal with the aftermath, and in return they promoted a number of gentry sons. Although many were awarded the title of general, most of them were empty-handed and had no real power. Most of the prisoners of war assigned were Yu Jin's elite soldiers, including Sun Quan's.

This approach obviously dissatisfied the Jiangdong nobles.

As for the end of Lu Xun's campaign to quell Shanyue's rebellion, Sun Quan arranged for him to continue stationing in the south of Danyang to prevent Shanyue from resurrecting in She, Yi, Lingyang and other places.

At that time, the situation was critical, and Jiangdong was in danger of being destroyed. Sun Quan could only coax and deceive Gu Yong and others, and then became cautious after the incident. Therefore, instead of being afraid of war, the Jiangdong nobles were very much looking forward to the invasion of the Cao and Liu families.

This way they can get the benefits they deserve.

"What Derun said is true, and I have had this intention for a long time." Sun Quan sat up straight, waved to Kan Ze, and after speaking, turned to Zhang Zhao and asked: "Military advisor, Gong Na is my elder brother who has entrusted me with a lonely and important minister. Over the years, I have gained a lot of insights.

Unique, who do you think can be awarded the title of Grand Governor?"

Zhang Zhao was sitting next to him with his eyes closed and concentrating. When he heard Sun Quan's words, he couldn't help but be startled. He thought to himself, wasn't it you who chose every governor? You were obviously trying to pull me out to block the sword.

"Uh...this...I..." Zhang Zhao hesitated at first, then looked around the hall, and then said: "I heard that Cao Pi violated the border, I couldn't sleep all night last night, and now my head is still buzzing.

Damn, it’s hard to say who can take on the important task..."

Cunning old guy, Sun Quan cursed secretly, thinking to himself, didn't you get less sleep at night? You are too unreliable at critical moments, why don't you just push someone out?

Of course Zhang Zhao knew what Sun Quan meant, but the current Huaisi military general group is withering, and it is true that there are no figures like Zhou Yu and Lu Su. Even those who are almost like Lu Meng no longer exist, so Zhang Zhao both

He did not want to offend Sun Quan, nor did he want to offend the Jiangdong nobles headed by Gu Yong.

"It's hard to say, but I have to say one thing. This is the time of Jiangdong's survival." Sun Quan frowned, giving Zhang Zhao no chance to dodge.

"Uh..." Zhang Zhao looked around with hesitation on his face.

"This year there has been a rebellion in various places in Shanyue. Zhongsi (Zhang Cheng) seems to have done a good job. He has surrendered more than ten thousand elite Shanyue soldiers. He seems to be a good general. I will reward him well when he comes back." Sun Quan continued to add.

Zhang Zhao was shocked when he heard this. Is this his lord's killing move? Sun Quan, Lü Meng's successor, mentioned it last time, but he had already sternly refused. Seeing Sun Quan's aggressive approach, he could only cheer up and use his old eyes to search for the target in the palace.

When his eyes glanced at Yan Zhen, the other person's eyes showed fear, and he said to himself, "Don't order me as a general. Am I qualified for the position of Governor?" Finally, when it fell on Gu Yong's face, he saw the other person's eyebrows furrowed.

Got up.

As the representative of Huaisi, Zhang Zhao was selected by Sun Quan to make suggestions. Naturally, it was impossible to recommend someone from the gentry. After thinking about it, Zhang Zhao suddenly flashed his eyes, turned around and bowed, saying: "My lord, I just looked around the hall, and there really is no suitable person."

Candidate, but I remember that Gong Jin’s eldest son has grown up, and I heard that he has the legacy of a great governor, so why don’t you give it a try..."

Sun Quan, Gu Yong and others were all shocked when they heard this. They had no idea that Zhang Zhao would push Zhou Yu's son out, because Zhou Xun in Zhang Zhao's mouth had just reached the throne, let alone commanding soldiers and horses in battle, he was already an official.

Neither.

After Zhou Yu's death, his military power was taken back. Sun Quan was worried about outsiders gossiping, so he treated Zhou Yu's wife and children favorably, tried his best to take care of the Zhou family materially, and provided them like mascots.

"Well... Zibu really has unique insights, but he can do some research..." Sun Quan softly agreed, stroking his purple beard.

"How can we try it now that the country is in crisis? I still have the pillar of strength in Jiangdong, why don't you use it, my lord?" Kan Ze stood up again in awe, and Gu Yong and others showed a motherly smile when they saw this.

"Who are you speaking to?" Sun Quan asked knowingly.

Kan Ze replied loudly: "Lu Xun, Lu Boyan, before Zi Ming's Grand Governor plotted against Jingzhou, my lord once pretended that Tuo Boyan was the Grand Governor. He has accumulated a lot of prestige in the army. The last time the four-pronged army took Jingzhou, only Boyan could do it."

That road has the least loss, which shows that he is a talented general. Please think twice, my lord."

"I almost forgot Boyan..." Sun Quan pretended to have a sudden realization, and then asked everyone: "What do you think Kan Derun recommends?"

As soon as Sun Quan finished speaking, Zhang Zhao, Yan Zhen and others lowered their noble heads as if they had made an appointment. Gu Yong and other Jiangdong nobles did not say anything to avoid suspicion.

Seeing this, Kan Ze patted his chest and said, "I will use the lives of my whole family to vouch for Boyan. He will definitely be qualified for the post of Governor."

"Derun doesn't have to be like this. I also know Boyan's talent. I will send an order to him to return to Jianye as soon as possible. When the time comes, I will solemnly pay homage to the general. However, Cao Pi is in a hurry right now and may not be able to wait for Boyan's return." Sun Quan frowned.

General Quan Cong came out of his squad and clasped his fists and said: "Cao Pi is so powerful that Ruxuwu's troops are insufficient. My lord can mobilize Chai Sang's troops to support..."

"No, we just fought a battle with Liu Bei. What if we take away Chaisang's garrison and Guan Yu takes advantage of it? In terms of naval forces, Jingzhou poses a greater threat than Wei, and E County is so close to Chaisang..."

After Gu Yong finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Zhao intentionally or unintentionally.

Gu Yong was very dissatisfied with Zhang Zhao's performance just now, and deliberately mentioned E County just to disgust him, as if to say that it was you who proposed to cede it.

Zhang Zhao is not an incompetent person. He quickly added: "When Zijing was alive, he devoted himself to the Sun-Liu alliance for many years. Because our Sun-Liu family is closely related to each other, although we failed in the battle of Jingzhou, Guan Yu's losses were not small.

The old minister is sure that Liu Bei will not take advantage of the situation. If he sends someone to talk to him, Guan Yu may be able to send troops to Xiangyang, so that Cao Pi can't look after each other, and the danger in Huainan will be solved."

"Zi Bu takes it for granted. On the surface, the Sun and Liu families are reconciled, but secretly they are enemies. How can they send troops to help us?" Gu Yong kept shaking his head.

"How will you know if you don't give it a try?" Zhang Zhao shook his head and stroked his beard.

"Who will be sent to try? Are you going, military advisor?" Gu Yong asked back.

"Uh... I'm getting old, maybe I can send Tzuyu there..." Zhang Zhao answered with difficulty. It's okay to talk, but if you really want to take the risk yourself, that's absolutely impossible.

"Zhuge Ziyu? I think it's better to forget it. I heard that he kept writing letters and wanted to sell Yu Ban for a billion ransom, so Cao Pi took the trouble to send troops." Gu Yong shook his head after hearing this.

Zhang Zhao and Zhuge Jin were related by marriage. When he heard what Gu Yong said, he immediately stood up and said angrily: "Gu Yuantan, let's just talk about things. We can't just talk nonsense, slander and spread rumors."

"Many people in Jianye City have mentioned it, how can you say I'm slandering and spreading rumors?" Gu Yong said tit for tat.

"Selling prisoners of war to the ban was ordered by the lord. If not, how could Tzuyu stay in Ruxu for half a year without returning?" Zhang Zhao sneered.
