The Three Kingdoms

"Well, no matter if you are from a poor family or a noble family, there are many capable people, otherwise I wouldn't have to deal with something every few days for the old man to clean up." Cai Yong sighed.

As for the relationship between poor families and noble families, this somewhat unsolvable problem, even if Cai Yong is highly respected, cannot solve it.

"Uncle, the relationship between the poor family and the gentry has always been like this, and Jiangdong is no exception. For at least a few decades, the relationship between these classes will be tense. It's better to let them fight if they want to fight."

Sun Quan pondered for a long time before giving a suggestion, saying: "Only by competition can progress be made. If you want to teach real talents, you have to go through the waves. As long as you, the Jijiu of Jiangdong Academy, have a calm mind and treat everyone equally, even poor families Well, whether you are a gentry, if you control it to a certain extent, no one can question your actions, even the aristocratic family can't blame you on this matter!"

"Big waves wash the sand?"

Cai Yong frowned when he heard this, and said, "It sounds cruel."

"When the big waves wash away the sand, what remains is gold."

A sharp light shot out from Sun Quan's eyes.

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

On this day, the weather in Wu County was very good, with a warm spring breeze.

This was the day before the Jiangdong Army set off to Jiaozhou, the general Sun Ce suddenly sent someone to invite Sun Quan to come to the house for a gathering.Sun Ce has already married and moved out of the Sun family's mansion to open a house of his own.

At this time, with such a grand occasion, Sun Quan felt a little uneasy in his heart, but he still went to the banquet.

In the mansion of General Goni, in the courtyard, there is a small pavilion with bamboo mats on the floor. A handsome and burly young man, dressed in brocade clothes, with an awe-inspiring expression, kneels quietly on the bamboo mat.

Sitting next to her was a woman in a skirt, with her hair in a bun, revealing a delicate face.

On the left, there are several beautiful little maidservants cooking wine.

"Brother, sister-in-law, Zhongmou is here."

Sun Quan walked in, looked at Sun Ce, and Sun Ce's new wife, Jiangdong Daqiao, a woman who was not inferior to Cai Yan in terms of appearance, talent, learning, and temperament.

"Zhongmou, sit down!" Da Qiao called out in a crisp voice with his vermilion lips slightly parted.

"Thank you sister-in-law!"

After Sun Quan bowed and saluted, he sat down in a regular manner opposite Sun Ce. The two brothers began to clink glasses and drink while listening to Da Qiao's piano.

"Zhongmou, brother, I haven't invited you to drink all these years, come here!"

Sun Ce narrowed his long and narrow eyes slightly, and looked at Sun Quan, but he felt mixed feelings in his heart. This is his younger brother, but everything Sun Quan has done these years is like a big brother.

"Brother, you and I are brothers. Brothers are for life. You can drink wine at any time!" Sun Quan showed a bright smile, raised his glass, took a small sip, and said.

"Hahaha, well said, brother for life!"

Sun Ce laughed out loud, but there was a touch of helplessness in his hearty smile.

Can the brothers of the Sun family do it for a lifetime?

Even his self-confidence could not give an answer. The Sun family ruled Jiangdong, and both he and Sun Quan were above the court in Jiangdong. People in the court sometimes couldn't help themselves.

"Brother, you will go to Jiaozhou tomorrow. This is a battle that you will fight alone. For today's cup, my brother congratulates you in advance for your victory and return!"

Sun Quan looked at the high-spirited young man in front of him, raised his wine glass, and congratulated him.

"According to your precious words, this battle must be won."

Hearing this, Sun Ce was in a good mood and gulped it down again. The two of them drank several cups in a row, obviously a little drunk. After half a moment, Sun Ce waved his hand to let the maidservants back down: "Go down, all of you. !"

"promise!"

While the maidservants with hot wine retreated and Da Qiao played the Youyueqin, the two brothers became a little lonely, and looked at each other. Sun Ce's eyes were very complicated, and Sun Quan's eyes were very helpless.

"Zhongmou, you have the choice to hate your father!" Sun Ce looked at Sun Quan firmly, and asked suddenly.

"no!"

Sun Quan shook his head, he knew the meaning of Sun Ce's question.

The chief general of Jiaozhou is Jiangdong's future successor. This is Sun Jian's choice, and because of this order, most of Jiangdong's senior management have already leaned towards Sun Ce.

"This is unfair to you. My brother, why can't you say something clearly today. If you complain, you can say it clearly!" Sun Ce stared at the expression on Sun Quan's face with sharp eyes.

"Seniority is orderly, you are the elder brother and I am the younger brother, it should be like this, so why complain!" Sun Quan's expression was indifferent, and Gu Bo, whose eyes were calm, remained unchanged.

"But you are better than me, Sun Ce!" Sun Ce's voice suddenly became a little agitated: "I don't admit it, I don't say it, it doesn't mean that I never know that you, Sun Zhongmou, have calmed down Jiangdong since the battle of Sishuiguan. Use talents to build academies, go out to the sea, flatten Liaodong, every time you do better than my elder brother."

"No one is better than anyone else. What you can do, I can't do. What I do, you don't have to do it. You are the little overlord of Jiangdong, and no one can be better than you." Sun Quan took a deep breath and reminded. .

"Zhong Mou, the little overlord of Jiangdong is not the overlord after all. Those who are capable in Jiangdong live in it. I, Sun Ce, are willing to compete fairly with you. The strong will win Jiangdong, and there will be no complaints in life or death." Sun Ce said in a cold voice with piercing eyes.

"Brother, why bother?"

There was a trace of bitterness on Sun Quan's face.

"Zhongmou, I, Sun Ce, can lose, but I can't accept merciful concessions. If you can take away the position of Jiangdong's heir from someone, Sun Ce is willing to give up!" Since then, the goal he wants to surpass has changed from Sun Jian to Sun Quan.

In Jiangdong's senior management, many people said that if he, Sun Ce, is a talent, then Sun Quan is a monster, and his influence spreads across every corner of Jiangdong.

"Brother, Zhongmou said it again, Zhongmou won't fight, that's all for today, Zhongmou resigns."

Sun Quan pondered for a while, this topic can't be discussed any longer, if it continues, the two brothers might really turn their faces today.

He directly stood up, saluted Sun Ce respectfully, then turned around and walked away. He didn't care whether Sun Ce was tempting him, or whether he really felt ashamed of him, anyway, he never thought of standing up.

"Husband!"

Da Qiao looked at the back of Sun Quan leaving, and played the piano with Qianqianyu fingers in his hand, pretending to turn his head, staring at the gloomy Sun Ce with beautiful eyes.

"Zhongmou has no intention of fighting with you at all. Why do you have to be aggressive and hurt this brotherhood." Da Qiao was a little puzzled.

"Da Qiao, you don't understand. If a certain person can't even surpass Sun Zhongmou, then a certain person is not qualified to be the Lord of Jiangdong." Sun Ce suddenly raised a full glass of wine and drank it in one gulp, with a flash of fighting intent behind his eyes .

"In this battle, I want to tell everyone in Jiangdong that I, Sun Ce, are the best!"

Wu County, Jinyiwei Yamen.

Sun Quan's body was sitting safely in the grand master's chair, squinting his eyes, dozing off, his handsome face looked a little hazy and cold, and there was a lingering chill in his heart constantly surging.

brothers!
