Taking advantage of the chaos in the city for Lu Su's funeral, Hu Ke cooperated with Wu Sihei to send Zhao Shuang's family away. He thought it was done perfectly, but he was also afraid that Sun Quan had other eyeliners. If he was exposed, he must immediately think of an excuse.

Sun Quan came to the back hall and sat down, looking up and down at Hu Ke with a pair of blue eyes.

Although Hu Ke was very nervous, there was nothing unusual on his face. He thought for a while and bowed his fists, and said, "My lord is here in casual clothes. Could it be that there is something urgent? There is nothing urgent in Jiaozhou recently..."

Sun Quan asked earnestly: "Just keep paying attention to Jiaozhou affairs. I heard that you have had a close relationship with Zhang Zhongsi recently?"

"Uh... He and Mr. Zibu are preparing for my wedding, so I gave some cochin playthings. In fact, the relationship is not deep..."

When Hu Ke heard that it was Zhang Cheng's business, the big stone in his heart fell to the ground.

Sun Quan nodded slightly, "This Zhang family is not that Zhang family, just maintain normal contacts, otherwise your uncle's family will be unhappy."

"I will write it down at the end." Hu Ke responded with cupped fists.

After Sun Quan instructed, Hu Ke's face softened.

Sun Quan said gratifiedly: "I heard that Zecheng and his bride are singing in harmony, and that they are loved by the Zhang family because they are very good at handling things. You have done a good job in this, and you must continue to maintain it in the future."

"The last general is in command, and I will definitely go all out to make the Zhang family available to the lord." Hu Ke's words were sonorous.

"Very good, if I have more loyal people like Cheng Cheng, why don't Jiangdong be peaceful, and the world cannot be peaceful..." Sun Quan sighed deeply.

Hu Ke heard what Sun Quan meant, and quickly asked, "Is there any trouble, my lord? Why don't you tell me and let me relieve your worries?"

Chapter 463 The Clown Lu Meng

Sun Quan looked at Hu Ke meaningfully, even Wei Wei couldn't solve the trouble in front of him, what could this new son-in-law of the Zhang family do?

"There is a young guard in my mansion, he has been well-trained for many years and he is very obedient, and he is relatively harmonious with the rest of the guards, but recently the head guard resigned due to illness.

I had planned to promote him to be the head of the guard, but the appointment has not yet been announced, and the people below have already regarded him as the commander, so I am very hesitant to promote him now. "Sun Quan used an analogy.

Hu Ke is such a smart person, he immediately understood that Sun Quan was referring to Lu Meng. After all, Lu Su's funeral was a big one, but he had to make Sun Quan feel that he hadn't guessed it.

"My lord, you mean the tiger under your car, right? I'm not used to gossiping behind others' backs, but I still want to share my opinion on the matter of my lord..." Hu Ke replied.

Sun Quan saw that Hu Ke seemed to have a solution, so he became a little interested: "Is there any good solution for Zecheng?"

"Listening to the lord's narration just now, I think you still trust this guard. It is the best choice for him to be the chief guard, but you are just worried that he will take credit for his pride and form a party?" Hu Ke asked tentatively.

Sun Quan nodded, "Exactly."

"In fact, it's very easy to do. Supporting another person will help him recognize himself, and he will know that everything about him is bestowed by the lord." Hu Ke suggested.

Sun Quan stroked his beard and shook his head: "Once Jinkou is opened, it is extremely difficult to change it. If the new supporter is not doing well, wouldn't it be a mistake?"

Hu Ke said with a smile: "The lord can choose a courtier with poor martial arts and good popularity. He knows that he can't do anything, and he must try his best to refuse. During the period of refusal, he can achieve the purpose of beating. In the end, the original person will be the head of the guard. This is how to deal with the prestige of the lord. It's coming up."

Sun Quan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he praised excitedly: "Zecheng is worthy of being a businessman. Your mind is indeed very flexible. No wonder you can handle tasks with ease in the Zhang family..."

Hu Ke scratched his head and smiled wryly: "People in the mall are unpredictable and intriguing. If you make a mistake, you will lose everything. It's better to follow the master to do things freely."

"Zecheng, you do a good job. How much I rely on you, I don't know if I will be awarded a marquis or a noble in the future." Sun Quan gave an affirmative expression.

"Thank you, my lord, Yu Xiu is willing to go through fire and water to repay your kindness." Hu Ke clasped his fists and knelt on one knee, speaking very touchingly.

"Zecheng doesn't have to be like this in the future, I know the loyalty of the king." Sun Quan lifted him up with both hands, thinking that he had regained the person in front of him.

Sun Quanyu's firm was in a good mood when he got the answer. After he went back, he thought about it and finally settled on the candidate.

After Lu Su was buried, Sun Quan convened a group of ministers in Jianye to discuss matters. Everyone knew that it was to announce the candidate for the governor, and all the civil and military personnel in Jiangdong guessed that it was Lu Meng.

The officials in the hall have different eyes, some envious, some contemptuous, blessed, and expectant.

In the beginning, Gu Yong, Zhuge Jin, etc. discussed the internal military affairs, such as the chaos in the mountains in the rear, and floods in the region.

The topic of discussion then gradually turned to the outside, talking about the defense of Jiang Xia and Ruxukou.

Veteran Han Dang proposed to appoint the governor as soon as possible, otherwise the morale of Jiang Xia and Lukou would be unstable.

"Who do you think can succeed Lu Zijing?" Sun Quan looked around the crowd, and finally fixed his gaze on Lu Meng's face.

Only Zhang Zhao in the hall knew what Sun Quan was thinking, so he wanted to see who would jump out first and make a fool of himself.

After waiting for a long time without any sound, General Pan Zhang came out to remonstrate, "General Ziming is very strategic, and he often fights with the lord. The final general thinks he is the best candidate."

When Pan Zhang took the lead, Ding Feng, Song Qian and other generals clasped their hands together, while Sun Quan looked at Lu Meng meaningfully.

Upon seeing this, Lu Meng replied politely: "The senior general is still young, so I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to take on this important task..."

"Although Ziming (Lv Meng) is self-effacing, it also coincides with Zijing's last words. After a few more years of experience, he can entrust him with important responsibilities." At this time, Sun Quan raised Lu Su and suppressed Lu Meng with the comments of the previous leader.

Lu Meng was originally polite, but Sun Quan's words were like pouring ice water on his head.

The mixed feelings combined with those fiery eyes in the hall made Lu Meng ask three soul questions in his heart: Who am I?where am I?Where are you going?

Gu Yong was very surprised to see that Lu Meng was defeated. Could it be that the lord wants to use the local generals?So he went out of the class and asked, "Zhou Gongjin recommended Lu Zijing after he passed away. If Zijing left a last word, there must be a recommendation. I don't know who this person is?"

Sun Quan stroked his purple beard and said leisurely: "The person recommended by Zijing is Yan Mancai."

At this time, Yan Jian was working as a Zhonglang, and he was a literati and scholar of Jiangdong standard. At the beginning, Zhang Zhao recommended it to Sun. As soon as this remark came out, the hall was surprisingly quiet, but almost no one questioned Lu Su's last words, after all, the dead are the most important.

"Zijing has a good understanding of people. He must have a reason for recommending Mancai, and the old minister seconded it."

Yan Yan himself was still at a loss, Zhang Zhao was the first to jump out to go along with Sun Quan, he didn't cooperate and was afraid that the boss would directly order Zhang Cheng, and it was really hard to get off at that time.

"The minister also seconded the proposal." Zhuge Jin had a good relationship with Yan Yan, and both belonged to the Huaisi faction camp. Seeing that the "big brother taking the lead" had set the tone, he immediately stood up.

"Your minister seconded the proposal." Gu Yong, the representative of the Jiangdong gentry, also agreed. Although Sun Quan did not choose a local general in the end, it was better for Yan Yan, who was relatively close to the Jiangdong gentry, than those Huaisi faction warriors to be in power.

"My minister agrees."

……

With Gu Yong's joining, Jiangdong gentry stood up to support, which made the few Huaisi generals in the hall immediately confused.

"Mancai, it seems that you are favored by everyone, then you will take over as the governor, immediately go to Jiangxia to lead the army, defend Guan Yu in the west and fight against Cao Ren in the north, this burden is not too light." Sun Quan made a final decision.

"My lord, I..." Yan Tian never thought that this would happen, why all of a sudden everyone was supporting him.

"This matter is settled like this. Let's leave first." Sun Quan waved his sleeves, turned and walked to the back hall.

All the people in the hall immediately gathered around Yan Jian, with kind smiles on their faces, clamoring that Yan Jian would celebrate with a feast of wine, while Lu Meng stood in the corner like a clown.

The governor thinks I'm not as good as Yan Mancai?Lu Meng didn't get out of his disappointment for a long time.

Sun Quan turned around and took a look when he left. The feeling of being in control of the whole situation went from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. He felt that what Yu Zecheng said was right at all. It is really amazing to establish such a thing as prestige.

What big governor, little governor?You are nothing without my lord empowerment.

Yan Yan had never led a soldier before, and he didn't know how Lu Su would take a fancy to him. Even if he belonged to the Huaisi faction, he was clearly a civil servant, let alone Lu Meng, even the well-dressed Lu Fan Can't compare.

After being puzzled, Yan Jian calmed down and gave a memorial to Sun Quan, saying that he had no military knowledge at all, and strongly suggested that Sun Quan choose another wise man.

Chapter 464

Sun Quan was very persistent at the beginning, and he used Lu Su's last words from time to time, telling Yan Jian not to underestimate himself, but to have the courage to take on the important task of the governor.

Yan Jian knew his own weight, he really became the so-called governor, he probably didn't know what jokes would be made, and he might not get a good death, so he repeatedly submitted memorials and refused.

Five or six consecutive memorials were presented, but Sun Quan rejected all of them. Yan Yan had no choice but to find Zhang Zhao to intercede with him. Unexpectedly, Zhang Zhao was "ill" during this period, so he called Zhuge Jin to give him a favor. intercede.

In the end, he burst into tears in front of Sun Quan, and Sun Quan reluctantly agreed to withdraw his order, and then called a group of ministers to discuss the election of the governor.

This time, no one stepped forward to be humiliated again, Sun Quan was very satisfied with the performance of the people in the hall, and finally said leisurely: "Mancai resigned from the post of governor, although I failed Lu Zijing's kindness, but I can't force it.

Wen Gui (Pan Zhang) recommended Ziming (Lü Meng) last time. After much deliberation, I decided to give Ziming a chance. From today on, General Huwei Lu Meng will be my third governor of Jiangdong. "

"Thank you, my lord." After hearing this, Pan Zhang quickly poked his hand to remind Lu Meng.

"Thank you, my lord, for your trust..." Lu Meng cupped his fists and bowed in thanks.

Although Lu Meng got his wish in the end, he always felt that it was Sun Quan who gave him alms, which was far from the initial sense of expectation.

Sun Quan said meaningfully: "Jiangxia Lukou has been short of a commander for several months, Ziming must rush to take up his post as soon as possible, and guard the west gate of Jiangdong."

"The last general will not disgrace his fate." Lu Meng nodded.

Sun Quan waved his hand: "Today's work is over, Zibu and Ziyu will stay here for now, and the rest should leave."

"Wei." The officials left the hall one after another.

Zhang Zhao now admires Sun Quan's political skills even more, so when he was called to stay, he kept thinking, what could the lord not calculate?

"My lord, what else is there to do?"

Seeing that the hall was empty, Zhang Zhao bit the bullet and asked.

Sun Quan leaned back, tapped the case table in front of him with his left hand, and said thoughtfully: "Although the governor has been appointed, I am still worried about Ziming, because now not only Cao Cao is strong, but even Liu Bei is also strong." It has become a climate, and the pressure on Jiang Xia is very high."

"My lord, do you want to..."

Zhang Zhao frowned. He knew that Sun Quan had nothing to say.

"Fortunately, Zijing left me a plan, and you are here to discuss how to implement it." Sun Quan nodded slightly.

"Zi Jing is truly unparalleled in the country..."

Zhuge Jin couldn't help sighing, but Zhang Zhao showed a suspicious look, saying Yan Jian was an excuse for his last words, now you are playing this trick again?Playing us like monkeys?

Sun Quan didn't pay attention to Zhang Zhao's expression, and he said slowly: "A sneak attack on Jingnan failed according to Ziming's suggestion, but was defeated by Guan Yu and Lantian. If it wasn't for Lu Zijing's mediation, Sun and Liu would have become one.

Now that Ziming is the governor, these two people will definitely have evil intentions because of their old hatred. The key is that both of them are Liu Bei's confidantes. They are now supporting themselves, and they have to find a way to make Liu Bei have a rift, otherwise Jingzhou and Jiaozhou will become stronger and Jiang Dongyue will become stronger. Danger. "

Zhang Zhao rolled his eyes and thought that this did not seem to be fake. He stroked his white beard and analyzed: "My lord, Guan Yu and Liu Bei have an alliance in the Taoyuan, and Lan Tian is Liu Chan's uncle and Liu Bei's wife and brother. It is afraid to separate these two people." It's harder than climbing to the sky..."

"Does the governor have a clever plan to stay?" Zhuge Jin asked.

Sun Quan nodded: "Zijing suggested that I bypass Liu Bei and marry these two people. Once someone agrees, Liu Bei will be suspicious. If he is in a hurry, he may rebel. At that time, I, Jiangdong, will be able to reap the benefits of being a fisherman."

"Wonderful, marrying the lord without permission is tantamount to rebelling against Liu Bei, but where do we start?" Zhang Zhao asked curiously.

Zhuge Jin analyzed: "General Guan has two sons and one daughter. The eldest son Guan Ping is an adult and married, the second son Guan Xing is fifteen or sixteen years old, and the youngest daughter Guan Yinping is only nine years old this year. As for the black owl, I don't know much about it. ..."

"Lantian also has two sons and a daughter. The eldest son, Lan Yuan, is 12 years old, and the second son, Lan Ji, is ten years old. As for the daughter, who was born only last year." Sun Quan introduced lightly.

With the intelligence station of Yu's Commercial Bank, Sun Quan can easily grasp the basic information of Jiaozhou.

Zhang Zhao frowned and shook his head: "Mr. Deng is about the same age as the daughter of the Guan family, and the lord's beloved daughter is only six years old now. If you really want to get married, you can only be engaged..."

Sun Quan snorted coldly: "Guan Yu is extremely arrogant, Lan Tian is insidious and cunning, I will marry them both sincerely? It's just for Liu Bei to see."

"Guan Yu is brave and both civil and military, and Lan Tian is superior in wisdom and strategy. It may not be a bad thing to get married with the two of them. My lord, it is best to make two plans." Zhuge Jin analyzed.

"Lan Tian's son is a little younger, and he is so insidious and cunning. I think we should start with Guan Yu first, but the matchmaker must have weight. Zi Jing's plan cannot be known to too many people, so you two have to work hard... ..." Sun Quan looked at Zhang Zhao while speaking.

Zhang Zhao was so moved by Sun Quan that he wanted to cry, and thought to himself that I am already so old, so why don't you send me around?

Lu Su died young at such a young age, could it be related to running around when he was young?

"I think……"

"Ziyu and Zhuge Kongming are blood brothers. It is natural enough for him to come forward, and it can also reflect the sincerity of the lord's courtship. Besides, he is still young and vigorous, and his eloquence is much better than that of an old man like me."

As soon as Zhuge Jin spoke, Zhang Zhao blocked her back. In the end, the other party did not refute the words of relying on the old and selling the old.

Sun Quan was originally interested in Zhuge Jin, and when he saw Zhang Zhao assisting him, he immediately followed up: "What Zibu said is true, Ziyu will be treated with courtesy when he goes to Jingzhou, if Guan Yu is not allowed to propose marriage for Deng'er, he can transfer to Jiaozhou Go see Lan Tian again, it will be cheaper for his Lanyuan."

"Uh... After all, the children are not very old, what if both sides refuse?" Zhuge Jin asked hesitantly.

Sun Quan's face was serious, "As long as Ziyu does his best, we can go there several times if we fail once, and Liu Bei won't be suspicious once he suspects it many times?"

"Wonderful, even Zhuge Kongming has no solution to this plan, the lord uses the shield of the son to attack the spear of the other..."

Zhang Zhao clapped his hands and applauded happily, but Zhuge Jin next to him looked embarrassed. Why is this work so easy?

"Zibu, Ziyu, go get ready first, you can't go empty-handed to get married..." Sun Quan instructed.

"Wei." Zhang Zhao (Zhuge Jin) replied in unison.

In August of the 22nd year of Jian'an, Zhuge Jin went to Jingzhou under the scorching sun.

Because he was Zhuge Liang's elder brother, Zhuge Jin was welcomed into the state pastoral mansion by the guards. Guan Yu had already prepared melons, fruits and drinks to cool off the heat.

Zhuge Jin had just entered the hall when he raised his eyes and saw two teenagers standing beside Guan Yu, one of them was the eldest son Guan Ping with a pale face, and the other was Lan Ji with a bronzed and short head.

"Ziyu, please sit down." Guan Yu said, pointing to the next chief seat.

Chapter 465 The World View Has Collapsed

After Zhuge Jin sat down and saluted with a smile on his face, Guan Yu stroked his long beard and nodded slightly, still unchanged from his previous aloof style.
