Chapter 2258 Can hundreds of years of habits still be changed?(2/2)
It's too late to fight. It's better to wait until the autumn harvest and then discuss it."
The Jiangdong clan undoubtedly voted against it.
"Now at the beginning of summer, after sending troops to the north, it will be the time for the autumn harvest!" Sun Quan said in a deep voice, "At that time, we can feed the enemy and don't have to lose far. Isn't it beautiful? If we don't send troops now, we can wait for the autumn harvest."
When we take action again, we have finished harvesting grain everywhere, so where will we go to find food?"
Sun Quan rejected it.
"When the army moves north, Cao Cao's bandits will definitely secure the wall and clear the country. What will happen then?" Zhu Zhi said calmly, "There is nowhere to go to eat, and there is no supply of food and grass. Even a million-strong army will collapse!"
Zhu Zhi voted against it again.
"There is food and grass in Jiangdong!" Sun Quan squinted and stared at Zhu Zhi, "It's just not in the Gongcang..."
"Since it is a private warehouse, it belongs to the people." Zhu Zhi also narrowed his eyes, "Is it possible that the Lord wants to seize the people's fat and anointing to fulfill his own selfish desires?"
"Under the whole world, it's not the king's land!" Sun Quan snorted.
"Lord, don't forget, there is another sentence behind..." Zhu Zhi did not give in at all.
"..." Sun Quan gritted his teeth.
"..." Zhu Zhi stared.
Sun Quan gritted his teeth because he found that except for his own constant refutation and struggle, no one could speak for him. Zhu Zhi glared because Zhu Zhi knew that doing so would definitely anger Sun Quan and would also cause Sun Quan to be scolded.
He held a grudge, but he still had to do it.
This has nothing to do with personal emotions, let alone any hobbies.
It just has to be done.
Zhang Zhao coughed and tried to smooth things over, "It's not early today and it's hard to decide on this matter right now. Why don't we discuss it tomorrow... I wonder what your lord wants?"
Zhu Zhi saluted Sun Quan and said, "I am not good at speaking, or I may have some mistakes in my words. I hope your lord will forgive me..."
Sun Quan grinned and waved his hand, taking it as an answer.
Zhou Yu finally coughed, lowered his fist and said, "I leave."
Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong also nodded together, "I'm leaving."
Zhou Yu was in front, and Er Zhang was behind. They walked out first.
Zhu Zhi and others also bowed to Sun Quan and left.
Everyone slowly and respectfully lowered their heads, bent their waists, took small steps, stuck out their buttocks, first swung to the left, took a step back, then swung to the right, took a step back, and so on, until they retreated to
At the door of the hall, he straightened up, turned his head and walked out, his movements extremely smooth.
In the past, such behavior always made Sun Quan feel a little happy, as if he was aloof and watching the fish swimming in the pond. But now, he suddenly felt a kind of anger. He no longer seemed to be standing there.
On the edge of the pond, he seemed to be enshrined in the middle of the hall, and these uniform ministers seemed to be dancing in front of him.
Lu Su did not come to this meeting. After all, Chai Sang was very important and could not be left without someone.
If compared with trustworthiness, Sun Quan is more willing to trust Lu Su, because Sun Quan knows that Lu Su also needs him.
But others don't need him.
In other words, it is him who is being enshrined today. No matter how pious these people are in front of him and how conforming to etiquette their behavior is, they may lift him from the throne and throw him away at the next moment.
Okay, let's just burn it and put another statue on it.
A statue that says nothing and makes no demands.
Sun Quan knew that Zhou Yu was not optimistic about this battle, so Zhou Yu didn't say a word. Similarly, Sun Quan was not very optimistic about Gongsun Du.
The reason why Sun Quan emphasized sending troops was because Sun Quan had his own purpose...
Sometimes a war does not necessarily have to be won in order to achieve the goal.
The strength of the Jiangdong nobles was too great, and these habits that had survived from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period also prevented the Sun family from carrying out reforms like Fei Qian. As long as Sun Quan showed any signs of it, he would be blocked by these Jiangdong nobles.
Sun Quan wanted to control Jiangdong just like Fei Qian controlled Guanzhong, and these Jiangdong nobles were the thorns in front of him. If he cut off these thorns with his own hands, he would undoubtedly be stabbed with blood all over his body, but if
How about taking someone else's hands and cutting them off?
Although it is said that doing so will damage Jiangdong's power, the question is, what is the use of keeping these powers that are not under Sun Quan's control? Should these powers threaten him all the time?
Looking at the empty hall and the neatly arranged cushions, Sun Quan suddenly laughed. Half of his smiling face was in the light, while the other half was in the darkness.
Is this the end?
