The Three Kingdoms

"Boda!"

Sun Quan's eyes were a little sharp, looking at Sima Lang who had always been a little reserved, he said gently: "I invite you here, I have a detailed inquiry, how do you think I will manage this pass?"

"This one……"

When Sima Lang heard this, he felt a little embarrassed.

"Boldly say, no matter what you say, I forgive you for not being guilty!" Sun Quan showed a kind smile.

"Yes!"

Hearing this, Sima Lang gritted his teeth, nodded, and his face became resolute. With such a good opportunity, he would die if he died. He should fight for some benefits for the Guanzhong family: "Your Majesty, the land of Guanzhong is already in dire straits. After the Guandong War, the young and strong were forcibly conscripted into soldiers by Cao Cao, and died countless times on the battlefield. Now the men are dying, and many families are old and weak, women and children. The cultivated fields are abandoned. The fertile Guanzhong Plain of [-] miles is not enough for self-sufficiency. ..."

When Sima Lang said this, he paused for a moment, and looked at Sun Quan's expression.

"continue!"

Sun Quan said with a blank face.

"Weichen believes that after the chaos, a stable development is needed!"

Sima Lang was encouraged, let go of some scruples, and continued: "After all, the Guanzhong family has been established in Guanzhong for hundreds of years, with a deep foundation in Guanzhong and a deep prestige among the people. For His Majesty, restore the fertility of Guanzhong in the shortest possible time!"

"You mean to let me hand over Guanzhong to you Guanzhong aristocratic families, right?"

Sun Quan's amber green pupils blinked coldly.

Guo Jia, who was sitting next to him, also had a sneer on his face when he heard the words. The Guanzhong family is dead but not stiff. Without Cao Wei, there is Soochow. This is not a small skill.

He was looking at Sima Lang.

Talent!

If Sima Lang hadn't led the Guanzhong family to turn against him, Wu Jun would not be able to break into Guanzhong so easily now. He always thought that Sima Yi was the unicorn of the Sima family, but now it seems that Sima Lang is the smiling tiger of the Sima family.

"Your Majesty, I have absolutely no such intention!"

When Sima Lang heard the words, he panicked a little, and quickly bowed his head down, pleading guilty respectfully.

"I said, no matter what you say in front of me today, I will not punish you, so get up and speak!" Sun Quan said lightly.

"promise!"

Sima Lang stood up and wiped off his cold sweat. The kingly majesty on Sun Quan's body was getting stronger and stronger, and his words and deeds carried infinite momentum. He couldn't bear it even a little bit of anger: "Your Majesty, in fact, the minister's intention Yes, relying on His Majesty's point-and-point generals, supplemented by talents from the Guanzhong family, can we calm down the chaos in Guanzhong and restore the prosperity of Guanzhong in the shortest possible time."

He didn't ask much, he just hoped that people from the Guanzhong family could enter the Wu Dynasty.

At this time, the Guanzhong family has been suppressed several times, and many families have withered, but the Sima family, the Wei family, the Yang family, and other large families still have a lot of talents. This is when Guanzhong is the weakest, and the opportunity is rare. Guanzhong's position is more stable.

"That makes sense!"

Sun Quan nodded upon hearing this, "Feng Xiao, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty, the Guanzhong family, you need to use them. After all, Your Majesty wants a stable Guanzhong, and you can't do without them, but you have to suppress them. After all, you are a white-eyed wolf. If you can defeat Cao Wei, you may not be able to defeat Soochow!" Guo Jia's voice It was plain, but it made Sima Lang feel a chill in his heart.

Sima Lang raised his head and gave Guo Jia a cold look.

Guo Jia ignored him at all, and continued: "The family in Guanzhong respects the family, don't let the imperial court take the lead, you need to put a shackle on it!"

"Feng Xiao, that's enough. If I want to govern this pass, I don't just have to beat it down. I need to appease the people, I need to improve the economy, and I need to deepen the influence of Wu. This cannot be done overnight. If I force you The destruction of our Guanzhong family will ultimately affect the prosperity of Guanzhong. In the final analysis, the current Guanzhong family is only a family under the Great Wu Dynasty, and they are my people. You cannot be treated differently just because you are a family. This is not good!"

Sun Quan smiled slightly, Guo Jia took the initiative to sing the bad face, he naturally had to sing the bad face,

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Sima Lang was slightly happy.

"Having said that, Boda, don't be too happy!"

Sun Quan knew that Sima Lang's mentality was that his family was above the country, so he was not angry. It is normal for a scholar from an aristocratic family to have some attachments. As long as a win-win situation is achieved, the existence of the Guanzhong aristocratic family may not be a bad thing.

If a big tree wants to prosper, it needs countless branches and leaves.

The Great Wu Dynasty is now a big tree, and the Guanzhong family is just a branch attached to this big tree.

These branches and leaves can make the big Wu tree more prosperous at this moment.

Of course, Sun Quan would not let Sima Lang put his family above the interests of Great Wu, so beating and beating is still necessary.

Sun Quan looked at Sima Lang with a hint of sternness on his face, and said, "Boda, I can use talents from the Guanzhong family. I know that you have accumulated a lot of talents all the time. Anyone who comes from the Great Wu will not refuse, but if the Guanzhong family wants If you apply what you did with Cao Wei to Great Wu, then don’t blame me for being cruel, I can sink the Jiangdong family that helped Great Wu rise, and I can also uproot your Guanzhong family!”

"You Sima Lang is a talent I have always been very optimistic about. I don't mind if you seek benefits for the Guanzhong family. After all, you are also a member of the Guanzhong family. It would be too much for you to forget your roots, but you are now an official of the Great Wu. , I don't want you to put the interests of the Guanzhong family above the interests of the Great Wu Dynasty!"

"One more thing, no one has the privilege of the Great Wu's law. You Guanzhong family is arrogant and domineering in Guanzhong, oppressing ordinary people and suppressing the methods of the poor family. I have heard a little bit about it. It used to be the past, and I didn't bother to dig up old accounts. , but if you want to override Great Wu’s laws and do illegal things in the future, you have to think about the consequences, I won’t be lenient!”

Every word of Sun Quan gave Sima Lang a chill.

"Your Majesty's advice must be kept in mind, and I will never disappoint His Majesty's expectations."

Sima Lang was covered in cold sweat, and the little clothes on his back were soaked, and he didn't dare to meet Sun Quan's sharp eyes that could tear him apart.

"Governing Guanzhong, I already have a plan in my heart!"

Seeing Sima Lang's trembling expression, Sun Quan showed a satisfied smile. He spread out the map of Guanzhong and said, "I plan to divide Guanzhong into two, with Hongnong as the boundary and Chang'an as the center. Establish Yongzhou, set up the Governor's Mansion, with Luoyang as the center, Hanoi, Hedong and Henan, establish Luozhou, and set up the Governor's Mansion!"

"Your Majesty means to divide Guanzhong into two states?"

Sima Lang looked at the map and thought about it in his mind. Sun Quanquan's plan for the Guanzhong land might not be a sudden whim, but a long-standing decision.

"That's right!"

Sun Quan asked in a harmonious voice: "The position of the governor of the two states is very important. If you use the right person, you will get twice the result with half the effort. If you use the wrong person, you will get twice the result with half the effort. Do you have any suggestions!"

"Your Majesty, I am a general from Cao Wei, and he was born in Jinyiwei. This matter cannot be discussed!" Although Sima Lang wanted to compete for the position of governor of a state, he was still cautious and conservative, trying to avoid making Sun Quan too suspicious.

"Li Nie proposed to me to leave the position of governor of Luozhou to..." Sun Quan said leisurely.

Hearing this, Sima Lang's heart warmed up, but it was quickly extinguished by a basin of cold water.

"But I refused, do you know why?"

"Your Majesty is not capable enough to let His Majesty use it with confidence. This is not your Majesty's fault, but your Majesty's incompetence. Please punish me!" Sima Lang gritted his teeth, trying to make his voice as calm as possible without revealing any emotion.

"Ha ha!"

Sun Quan looked at him forcibly holding back the disappointed expression, and a smile was inadvertently drawn on the corner of his mouth: "Boda, you are very upset now, so you don't have to hold back, you are still young, and you have to compete with those old guys in the court cabinet. After learning from the scriptures, they are the only ones who are not surprised by honor or disgrace, with thousand-year-old zombie faces, I sometimes scold them upside down, and they can all smile, your energy-raising skills are not enough!"

"Your Majesty taught me that!"
