Chapter 2533 Tomb Tiger urges Sun Zhongmou, Guo Ziyi ambushed Sun Ce


    Chapter 2530: Tomb Hu urges Sun Zhongmou, Guo Ziyi ambushed Sun Ce


    The Wu State''s attitude towards aristocratic families is like the Song, Wei and Chu countries, and is mainly focused on suppression.


    The Wu Kingdom regarded the aristocratic family as hens laying golden eggs, and continued to provide nutrients to the country, rather than killing chickens and retrieving eggs directly like the Ming Kingdom.


    The aristocratic family grew stronger by relying on the state to absorb nutrients, but the Wu Kingdom absorbed nutrients from the aristocratic family, which naturally made the Jiangdong aristocratic family dissatisfied with Sun Jian and Sun Ce and his son.


    But due to the power of the father and son, the Jiangdong family did not dare to resist at all, because all the families that dared to resist had been destroyed.


    I have to say that this is definitely the most unfriendly era for aristocratic families. No matter where aristocratic families are suppressed, there is no dawn at all.


    Sun Quan’s political proposition is different from Sun Jian and Sun Ce. Although he is also using the aristocratic family, he will give the aristocratic family some sweetness.


    I wanted the horse to run, but also gave it to the horse to eat.


    This also caused the Jiangdong family to be closer to Sun Quan than Sun Jian and Ce, and they all took the initiative to rely on Sun Quan.


    With the support of the Jiangdong family, Sun Quan had no worries in governing Yuzhang. The family would provide him with any resources he needed, so Yuzhang ushered in great governance.


    Sima Yi was also from a noble family and knew very well how powerful the aristocratic family was.


    Sun Quan was not as good as Sun Ce in terms of identity, status, or achievements, and his foundation in the military and political circles of the Wu Kingdom was far less profound than Sun Ce.


    Normally speaking, as long as Sun Ce does not die and does not make any mistakes on his own initiative, Sun Quan has no possibility of replacing him.


    But only if the support of the Jiangdong family is needed, Sun Quan will have a glimmer of hope.


    After Sun Quan was transferred from Yuzhang and served as the prefect of Kuaiji, he naturally wanted to replicate the miracle of Yuzhang''s great rule. After all, even if he could not become the King of Wu, he wanted to become the number one person under the King of Wu.


    But the previous defeat in the face of Japanese pirates made the Jiangdong family invest so much resources that all the political capital accumulated for Sun Quan was wasted, so their attitude towards Sun Quan became ambiguous.


    Although the Jiangdong family still supports Sun Quan, the investment intensity is not as strong as before.


    Sun Quan lost the support of the aristocratic family, and it was naturally difficult to copy the miracle of Yuzhang in Kuaiji.


    Sima Yi helped Sun Quan resolve this great security problem in the most difficult time.


    Sima Yi knew very well that adding icing on the cake was better than giving timely help. If you want to completely win the trust of Sun Quan, you must be at the lowest point in his life.


    And being exiled to Kuaiji, poor governance and average political achievements were the lowest point in Ha Sun Jian''s life, and Sima Yi''s help to Sun Quan at this time was a timely help.


    After Sima Yi, who was named "Zhong Da", took the initiative to surrender to Sun Quan''s command, Sun Quan did not attach much importance to Sima Yi at first.


    But when Sima Yi made several suggestions and solved his own problems, Sun Quan immediately realized that this person had great talent, so he naturally entrusted Sima Yi with great importance.


    As the prefect, Sun Quan appointed Sima Yi as the chief clerk, shortly after Sima Yi helped Sun Quan convince the four major families in Jiangdong, namely Zhang, Zhu, Gu and Bu.


    The Bu family was not among the four major families in Jiangdong, but because the Lu family, which originally belonged to the four major families, defected to King Liu Xiu of Chu, and the Lu family had also moved out of Jiangdong. The Bu family, second only to the Lu family, naturally filled the vacancy of the Lu family.


    As for the Gu family, although Gu Yong, the most outstanding disciple, went to the Qin Dynasty, most of the Gu family''s children stayed in Jiangdong and served in the Wu Kingdom.


    Under Sima Yi''s lobbying, Sun Quan took the initiative to make friends with Bu Zhi and married Bu Zhi''s family, marrying Bu Zhi''s sister Bu Lianshi as his wife, thus gaining support from Bu family.


    The four major families in Jiangdong have never separated me from each other and the relationship between each family.


    After Sun Quan had the support of the Bu family, he then plucked the thread and easily convinced the Zhang, Zhu and Gu families, and received the support of all the four major families in Jiangdong.


    The Jiangdong family is basically led by the four major families, and even the four major families support Sun Quan, so those small and medium-sized families naturally choose Sun Quan.


    In this way, Sun Quan received support from the entire Jiangdong family because he married Bu Lianshi.


    With the support of the aristocratic family, Sun Quan no longer had any constraints in Kuaiji. With Sima Yi''s assistance and no shortage of resources, Kuaiji County also ushered in a major governance after a year of hard work, and the grain production and tax revenue exceeded Yuzhang County before the division.


    Later, Sun Quan showed his specialty of refining administration. After obtaining Sun Jian''s consent, Ji County was divided into three counties: Kuaiji County (now Fujian Province), Linhai County (now southeastern area of ??Zhejiang Province), and Dongyang County (now Jinhua and Quzhou areas of Zhejiang Province).


    Since then, the Wu Kingdom has collectively owned nine counties, namely: Danyang, Wujun, Yuzhang, Pengze, Poyang, Kuaiji, Linhai, Dongyang, and Lujiang (three counties in southeastern Lujiang + three counties in south Jiujiang);


    Sun Jian delegated Sun Quan to Kuaiji as the prefect in order to cut off Sun Quan''s thoughts, but Sun Quan once again threatened Sun Ce''s heir due to his political achievements in governing Kuaiji County.


    In order to completely solve this problem, the Wu Kingdom was defeated this time, so Sun Jian would let Sun Ce be the main general, but Sun Wu, who was able to command the troops, was the deputy general, just to pave the way for Sun Ce to succeed the throne soon.


    Both Sun Quan knew this, but what made him even more angry was his father''s subsequent actions.


    Sun Jian appointed Sun Ce as the chief general of the attack on Chu this time. He also transferred Sun Quan from Kuaiji to Yangzhou and went to Lujiang to be responsible for the supply of food and grass for the army attacking Chu. He also served as the prefect of Lujiang.


    Sun Jian''s move, on the surface, was to promote and reuse Sun Quan, but in fact it was also rising openly and decliningly, completely cutting off Sun Quan''s foundation in Wu State.


    When Sun Quan was in Kuaiji, although he was only the prefect of one county, he was responsible for the military and political power of the three counties.


    If he came to Lujiang, his position had indeed been improved, and he might have had jurisdiction over only six counties, and these six counties were bordering the three kingdoms of Chu, Song and Ming dynasties.


    With the geographical location of the six counties in Lujiang, no matter how hard Sun Quan made a fuss, he would never make any waves and would never pose any threat to Sun Ce.


    I have to say that Sun Jian’s move was quite ruthless and directly hit Sun Quan’s weakness. However, Sun Quan had no choice but to resist his father Sun Jian, so he could only go to Lujiang to take office.


    Along the way, Sun Quan almost wrote the three words "reluctant" on his face, and he was increasingly complaining about his father Sun Jian.


    He felt that his father was too partial. He always had only the eldest brother in his eyes. No matter what the eldest brother did, he was right. No matter how great his achievements he achieved, he would never look at him directly.


    Sun Quan asked himself that he had made great contributions to the Wu Kingdom. Although he had suffered defeat in the Japanese Kingdom, he also had the merits of governing the two counties of Yuzhang and Kuaiji.


    The nine counties of the Eastern Wu, Sun Quan, had governed six counties, and is now about to serve as the prefect of the seventh county, which is the prefect of Lujiang County. His contribution to Wu State was no worse than his elder brother Sun Ce, but his father didn’t even give him a chance to compete in a fair way?


    This is really unfair.


    The more Sun Quan thought about it, the more angry he became, the more he thought about it. He became more and more resentful of his father Sun Jian, and he had a tendency to turn from resentment to hatred, and all of this was seen by Sima Yi.


    Sun Jian''s suppression of Sun Quan was all-round. It was not only Sun Quan who was suppressed, but Sun Quan''s entire small group, including Bu Zhi and Sima Yi.


    Because of a little bit of problems, Sun Jian directly revoked the position of prefect and demoted to the county magistrate.


    As for Sima Yi, Sun Jian knew that he was Sun Quan''s strategist and had extraordinary strategies, so he was ready to transfer him from Sun Quan and let Sima Yi serve under Sun Ce''s command, so he was promoted to general of the army in attacking Chu.


    Sima Yi naturally refused to do so. After all, he came to Wu with his purpose. It was not very meaningful to stay by Sun Ce''s side. Only Sun Quan could let him achieve his goal.


    Sima Yi rejected Sun Jian''s enlistment, acted like he didn''t care about fame and fortune, and voluntarily stayed by Sun Quan to serve him, which naturally moved Sun Quan very much.


    But Sima Yi''s refusal aroused Sun Jian''s dissatisfaction.


    He intends to promote Sima Yi to serve as Sun Ce''s right-hand man, while Sima Yi is determined to stay with Sun Quan. But the key is that the relationship between the two is not to that extent?


    So, in Sun Jian''s view, Sima Yi''s various actions were somewhat ulterior motives and a little ignorant of praise, so he summoned Sima Yi twice.


    If Sun Jian''s first recruitment was kind-hearted, then the second time was serious, and the third time was forced recruitment, and Sima Yi did not give the right to refuse, just to transfer him away from Sun Quan.


    Sima Yi was not only worried, but was overjoyed. He knew that the time for his hard work had come. If he did not take action, he would really have no chance after leaving Sun Quan.


    “Second Young Master.”


    Sima Yi shook his head and dispelled the distracting thoughts in his heart. He looked at Sun Quan above with apologetic expression and bowed, "Zhong Da is here to resign from the young master."


    Sun Quan was shocked when he heard this and hurriedly stepped forward to grab Sima Yi''s hand: "Is even going to leave Quan?"


    Sun Quan has experienced the warmth and coldness of the world during this period. After being deliberately suppressed by his father, the Jiangdong family that had always supported him left him one after another, including the Bu family.


    There is no way. Sun Jian’s intention to suppress Sun Quan was too obvious. As long as he was not a fool, he could basically tell.


    If the Jiangdong family dares to support Sun Quan openly, it is to sing a counter-topic with King Sun Jian of Wu, which is equivalent to killing Sun Jian.


    Although the Jiangdong family was interested in Sun Quan, in order to protect the family, they did not dare to support Sun Quan anymore, so they all cut off their ties with Sun Quan.


    Sun Quan’s greatest capital is the support of the aristocratic family. Without the support of the Jiangdong aristocratic family, it would naturally not have any threat to Sun Ce.


    I have to say that your dad is your dad after all.


    Sun Jian''s move was really too ruthless. He directly knocked Sun Quan down from the clouds and brought all his efforts back to zero again.


    Sun Quan had long been used to the days when Sima Yi was by his side and gave him advice. Now Sima Yi took the initiative to resign, so he naturally felt reluctant.


    Sima Yi shook his head and said, "It''s not that Zhong Da wants to leave the young master, but that the King of Wu wants Zhong Da to leave the young master.


    King Wu had issued three orders of enlistment to Zhong Da, and the third order even forced enlistment. If Da refused, he would be regarded as a rebellion and imprisonment.


    Da was unwilling to leave the young master, but he had to leave. ”


    After saying that, Sima Yi sighed bitterly, looking extremely reluctant to leave.


    Sun Quan clenched his fists, then let go weakly, and said bitterly: "Father, he is too much, he wants to force me to death."


    "No, you are father and son after all, and the King of Wu will not be so cruel."


    “Why can’t it?


    Kuaiji was in great governance, and Kuaiji was rewarded for its power governance, but it was fine if his father did not reward him for his contributions, but he even openly suppressed the ministers who had made contributions.


    In order to get the eldest brother to succeed to the throne, his father ignored his face. What else can he not do? ”


    Sun Quan gritted his teeth and sniffed, as if he wanted to vent all the injustice he had experienced.


    "Mr. Zhong Da, Quan knows that you have the talent of advancing the world. Please help Quan with the last one and point out a way for Quan to live."


    Sun Quan looked at Sima Yi with hope, and Sima Yi sighed, "Where is the way to live? The young master knows in his heart, so why should he speak too much?"


    After saying that, Sima Yi shook his head and then walked out with great strides.


    Looking at Sima Yi''s departure back, Sun Quan''s face instantly became extremely distorted, and he shouted in a low voice: "Father, brother, you forced me."


    After Sima Yi returned to his mansion, he had not even packed up his salute and received a message from the secret spies of the Chu State.


    As Sima Yi expected, after he left, Sun Quan did send another confidant to secretly contact the secret spies of the Chu State and leaked the secret information of the Wu army, preparing to use the power of the Chu State to get rid of Sun Ce.


    As long as Sun Ce cannot return to Wu, the position of King Wu is the greatest possibility of inheriting it by Sun Quan.


    "Tell Guo Ziyi that he can cooperate with Sun Quan. The information he gave is true, but unless it is absolutely necessary, he must not kill Sun Ce. He should try to capture him alive."


    Guo Ziyi, who was guarding Xunyang, was naturally extremely embarrassed after receiving the instigation from Sima Yi.


    After all, the Wu army is powerful now and he is weak. Sun Ce is so strong, and there are many powerful generals under his command to help him. It is too difficult to capture him alive.


    However, when he looked at the confidential information in his hand, Guo Ziyi felt that if the ambush was properly arranged, there would be no possibility of capturing Sun Ce alive.
