Han Xiang

Chapter 388 Zhang Zhao Recommends Taishi

"This..." Zhang Zhao suddenly found himself in trouble: "Accordingly, this foreign military transfer should be discussed with the governor."

Sun Quan squinted his eyes half-closed: "I will discuss it with the governor tomorrow, but I want to hear Mr. Zhang's opinion in advance. I can feel at ease only after my uncle is in charge. If there is anything else, the governor should worry about it. The meaning of our existence is What?"

Hearing that Sun Quan had something to say, Zhang Zhao hurriedly wiped the sweat from his forehead and added:

"I heard that the Cao thief captured all the people in Lujiang after the war. Right now, there is only Liyang county left in Jiangdong in Huainan. If Bohai (Sun He) cannot be redeemed on time, I suggest choosing between Cheng and Han. First, they have rich combat experience, relatively high prestige in the army, and relatively many other parts.”

Sun Quan interrupted Zhang Zhao to express his opinion: "The situation in Huainan is complicated now. Zhang Liao Shou Shouchun, who was left behind by Cao Cao after the war, is no better than Xiahou Dun before. Hefei did not suffer any damage in this battle. It is hard to say whether Long Xiang contributed to the flames, but this time Tricky people are very difficult to deal with, General Han was injured by Xu Chufeishi, it is estimated that both of them have lingering fears about Hefei, I think Cheng and Han Er are not suitable."

"Your Majesty is reasonable."

Zhang Zhao frowned, and gave the candidate again: "My lord, my brother Sun Boyang (Sun Ben) has made great achievements in battle. In the past, General Bofu attacked Wan County, so he was sent to lead troops to stop the enemy in Pengze, and finally forced Liu Xun to flee to Jiangxia. He will be able to do it when he goes to Huainan."

"Brother Cong?" Sun Quan looked up at the roof and fell into deep thought.

At the beginning of Sun Quan's accession to the throne, Sun Fu, Sun Ben's younger brother, wrote a letter to Cao Cao, but was intercepted by people loyal to Sun Quan on the way.

In order to stabilize the situation, Sun Quan used Zhang Zhao's strategy to trick Sun Fu into Wu Jun under house arrest. Since then, there has been a estrangement from Sun Ben, so he hardly cares about Yuzhang County, as if it is a free kingdom under Jiangdong's rule.

Sun Ben is indeed a suitable candidate, but Sun Quan is worried that such a transfer will stimulate Sun Ben to have dangerous thoughts. If he takes his part to join Cao Cao, he will become a joke at that time.

After Sun Jian died in the battle in Jingzhou, it was Sun Ben who had always been the leader of the Sun family, until Sun Ce took over the leadership of the Sun family from Sun Ben with his personal charm of bravery and fighting.

Once Sun Ben had a different heart and rebelled against Cao, someone in the Sun family might respond. Sun Quan's decision-making mistake would ruin his foundation, so it is basically suitable and cannot be used.

Sun Quan would rather let Sun Ben be the local emperor in Yuzhang than force him to the opposite side of the Sun family.

Since Sun Ben was available but not, Sun Quan thought of a reason to prevaricate Zhang Zhao.

"As Zibu said just now, the Cao thief has captured all the people in Lujiang, and it is meaningless to dominate the prefect of Lujiang. It is better to push the boat and return it to Longxiang. This time I want to be appointed Liyang Duwei. Boyang is now Prefect Yuzhang, you can't demote him for no reason, right?"

"It's really not Liyang Lieutenant"

When Zhang Zhao heard the word Duwei, he suddenly thought of Jianchang Duwei who was also in Yuzhang.

I thought how could I forget this fierce general?At the beginning, Sun Bofu and Xu Chu had specifically mentioned it after they fought, saying that Tai Shici would also have a try.

"My lord, I think one person can do it."

"Mr. Zhang, tell me quickly."

"Tai Shici, Tai Shi Ziyi."

"Taishi Ziyi?"

Sun Quan was very unfamiliar with this fierce general, because Tai Shici had not long since surrendered to Sun Ce, and only participated in two battles: Peng Ze's blockade and the Western Expedition to Sand Xian.

Sun Ce defeated Huang Zu and took Yuzhang without bloodshed. At that time, he was anxious to go to Guangling to wipe Sun Quan's butt, so he appointed Tai Shici as the captain of Jianchang to assist Sun Ben in guarding the west of Yuzhang and preventing Liu Biao from Jingzhou from entering eastward by land.

Tai Shici's experience was similar to that of Long Xiang. At first, he was not reused under Liu Yao's command, but when Liu Yao was defeated by Sun Ce, he fled to Wuhu Mountain and claimed to be the prefect of Danyang.

Like Long Xiang, he also occupied the city, absorbed the young and strong of Shanyue, and became bigger. There was a tendency for the separatist party to become an independent warlord. Unfortunately, he lost to Sun Ce and was captured and surrendered.

Sun Ce left Tai Shici to garrison in Jianchang, not only to defend Liu Biao from land attack on the surface, but also to balance the relationship between the various generals.

At that time, Huang Zu captured Shaxian, the ruling place of the Western Expedition, and Tai Shici, as a new general, was the first in military exploits. Sun Jian's old troops and Sun's clan had some thoughts in their hearts.

In the case of limited military exploits, if Taishici gets more military exploits, others will get less. Sun Ce has to consider the balance issue. Even if he likes Taishici very much, he must give priority to Sun Jian's old tribe and the Sun clan, because these talents are his foundation.

Sun Ce deliberately did not bring Taishi Ci to Guangling to fight against Chen Deng. He planned to go west to Jingzhou and entrust him with important tasks. Unfortunately, it took less than a year for him to surrender Taishi Ci to his assassination and death, and he had not yet established a particularly deep master-servant relationship. .

After Sun Quan succeeded to the throne, the counties were unstable. Tai Shici was not qualified to write congratulatory letters to Sun Quan because his official position was under Sun Ben.

Tai Shici's defense of Jianchang for the past two years is like setting up a mansion in Jing County.

Sun Ben didn't care about him, and Sun Quan didn't care about him. It was very similar to the previous period of separatism, which only belonged to Jiangdong in name.

Seeing that Sun Quan was silent, Zhang Zhao added enthusiastically: "Taishi Ziyi's martial arts are comparable to Bo Fu's. He was brave and courageous when he went to the west to conquer Huang Zu, and he made great achievements in battle. If the lord uses him to guard Huainan, he will be able to stabilize the current stage." decline."

Sun Quan nodded slightly: "I have also heard about Ziyi's name. He was originally the captain of Jianchang, and now he is transferred to the captain of Liyang. It seems understandable."

"What your lord said is true. Now that all the people in Lujiang have been taken into captivity, the 3 or [-] people in Liyang alone cannot afford the needs of the garrison;

The nearby counties of Quanjiao and Fuling were occupied by Chen Lan, a bandit like Chen Lan who pays attention to strength, and if we lose in Huainan, he will definitely not easily join us;

Just let General Taishi recover with military force, which can not only replenish part of the military supplies, but also connect Huainan and Guangling, which is convenient for Gongjin to deploy the Yangtze River defense line in a unified manner. "

After listening to Zhang Zhao's introduction, Sun Quan nodded happily: "Since General Taishi is so suitable, tomorrow I will call a group of ministers to confirm it, and then Mr. Zhang will recommend him."

"Is he a candidate for Bohai or..."

Seeing that Zhang Zhao's words stopped abruptly in the middle, Sun Quan shook his head and asked back: "Bo Hai's trilogy has been exhausted, and General Taishi has thousands of ready-made trilogy. What else do we have?"

"I can save it."

Sun Quan negotiated with Zhang Zhao and reached a perfect result, and sent Zhang Zhao out of the mansion in a good mood. Sun Quan thought about transferring Tai Shici out of Yuzhang, just in time to hand over the defense of the west side to Sun Ben.

With Jingzhou Liu Biao'helping' to contain and consume Sun Ben, Sun Quan didn't have to worry about being threatened by his brother.

Sun Quan's only concern now is the relationship between Tai Shici and Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu was once stationed in Baqiu in Luling County, which is not far from Tai Shici's Jianchang. He is afraid that there will be friendship between the two of them.

Tomorrow's court meeting, Sun Quan will observe the expressions of the generals, especially Zhou Yu's expression.
