Han Xiang

Chapter 449

Mrs. Xu is the daughter of her cousin Xu Kun, who first married Lu Shang (Lu Xun's elder brother).

It's a pity that Lu Shang died early, and Xu's family was young and widowed.

At that time, Sun Ce was assassinated and died, and Sun Quan's succession was politically unstable.

In order to consolidate the situation, Mrs. Wu made the decision to let Sun Quan marry Mrs. Xu, and wanted his wife Mrs. Xie to be subordinate to her.

Mrs. Xie came from a well-known family in Kuaiji. Her father, Xie Yu, was Shang Shulang and the magistrate of Xu County. She did not want to be humiliated, but she was frightened by the power of the Sun family and could no longer secure her position as the main wife.

Faced with Mrs. Wu and Sun Quan's deliberate alienation, Mrs. Xie finally became depressed and died within a year.

Sun Quan married Mrs. Xu out of a political marriage, but he didn't have much affection for this niece. A young master like him who ruled over one side had endless beauties, so he enshrined Mrs. Xu at home like a god.

In order to fully grasp Yuan Shu's political legacy, Sun Quan took Yuan Shu's daughter as his concubine two years ago, and also got the approval of his uncle Xu Kun.

Sun Quan trained Lu Meng, Ling Tong, and He Qi, and planned to control the army by wooing Zhu Huan; although Zhang Zhao, the head of civil servants, was loyal, Sun Quan didn't like him because of his outspoken words.

Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu are both the leaders of the Huaisi faction, but they are all outsiders to the local gentry, and foreigners and locals often conflict due to interests, so they can't help but hug each other to keep warm.

As the Sun family occupied Jiangdong for a longer period of time, the Huaisi faction who fought against Sun Ce spread all over the country, and its tentacles extended to all counties and counties.

Although outsiders occupy a key position, due to the large base and wide network of locals, it is easy for assistant officials and officials to evade the chief official. The internal struggle has not stopped for a moment, and it depends on which side is more powerful.

Zhang Zhao was proficient in politics, and Sun Ce liked to cultivate the younger generation of his fellow countrymen after Tuogu.

In the past few years, Zhang Zhao has recommended to Sun Quan one after another, Zhuge Jin, Bu Zhi, Yan Yan and other young capable ministers.

As the lord of Jiangdong, Sun Quan naturally wanted to take control of the military and government.

Even though Zhang Zhao was loyal to him, Sun Quan could not forget that he had supported Sun Yi.

So Sun Quan secretly trained Zhuge Jin and others to compete with Zhang Zhao, just like he trained Lu Meng and Ling Tong, and cultivated his confidants who were absolutely loyal to him.

In contact with a group of young people recommended by Zhang Zhao, Sun Quan accidentally learned that the daughter of Bu Zhi's family, Bu Lianshi, was young and beautiful, so he had a plan for Mrs. Naxin.

The same as the purpose of the daughter of Na Yuanshu, the Nabu trainer is more for political purposes.

Mrs. Wu's funeral was less than a year old, and Sun Quan couldn't worry if he had his mind. Mrs. Xu was his official wife in name, and he needed to inform her about taking concubines and taking children.

Xu's family background was delicate and jealous, and Sun Quan was quite indifferent to Xu Kun after his death.

Not surprisingly, as soon as the news reached Xu's courtyard, it attracted many complaints.

Sun Quan didn't seem to care about adjectives such as lasciviousness and misfortune.

However, the Xu family attributed the defeat of Yuzhang and the death of Xu Kun to Sun Quan, thinking that the logistics supplies were not in place at that time, which caused Jiangdong soldiers to lose to Huang Zu.

Sun Quan was furious, summoned his family general Zhou Shan and asked, "Madam has never talked about military affairs. Recently, there has been a lot of discussion in her court. Do you know why?"

Zhou Shan bowed his head and replied: "My lord, Madam hosted a birthday party last month. Many officials and wives in the city came to pay their respects. Everyone drank some wine that day, probably influenced by her."

"Who is there?"

Sun Quan remembered that he and Bu Zhi were chatting about county affairs at that time, so he didn't take the time to celebrate Xu's birthday, otherwise he would know the whole story.

"At the end of the day, I will remember Mrs. Zhou, Mrs. Jiang, and Mrs. Lu"

Zhou Shan stammered, and said seven or eight names with his fingers.

Sun Quan's brows were originally furrowed, but after hearing this, they stood tall and huddled together, thinking, why are they all the wives of the generals in the army?Could it be that this group of warriors have some schemes to fail?
"I'll give you half a day to find out what was said at the banquet. If you can't do it well, go back to your hometown to farm."

"My lord, don't worry, it will be done in the end, definitely."

In order to keep his job, Zhou Shan quickly returned to Xu's residence, asked the maids who served that day one by one, and quickly asked the whole story of the banquet chat.

Most of the people who went to congratulate were the wives of military officers. Xu's topic was always on Xu Kun. Like Xianglin's wife, she said that her father had contributed to Jiangdong. After drinking two glasses of wine, she complained about Zhou Yu's division of troops. arrow.

Zhou Yu's wife, Bao Shi, originally kept a low profile at the banquet, but when Xu Shi jumped at her face and exported her, she stood up and defended Zhou Yu after a few times of tolerance, bluntly saying that the soldiers who went out at that time had thin clothes, because the winter clothes behind were delayed. Arrived at the front line, so he was at a disadvantage in recklessly fighting with Huang Zu's main force.

Mrs. Bao was also very distressed, her husband devoted himself to Mrs. Sun and hadn't returned home for more than a year, how could he be blamed instead?
Bao's words were sincere and well-founded, and many family members agreed with him at the scene, and they all explained to Xu the lack of clothes and clothes last year.

Xu's family only complained a few words at first, but in the end they blamed Sun Quan for the crime.

The topic of clothes didn't end with the end of the banquet. The maids in Xu's courtyard were free to chat and discuss.

This group of little girls who don't understand military affairs discuss everything from clothes to logistics, how badly Sun Ben lost in Yuzhang, and who will use soldiers.

Zhou Shan found out the situation and reported back to Sun Quan in time. Sun Quan was so angry when he heard that, he thought that the good reputation would be taken over by the governor, but if he lost a battle, it was someone else, right?
And some people began to sympathize with Sun Ben, which is a very bad signal.

Sun Quan pondered for a long time and came up with a plan.

"From today onwards, your chief guard will stop doing it."

"My lord, the general has completed the mission, don't drive me to farm"

Seeing that Zhou Shan had misunderstood him, Sun Quan waved his hand to correct him: "I didn't say I was going to drive you to farm, but I have a new task for you."

"Please tell me the Lord." Zhou Shan was delighted to hear that.

Sun Quan stroked his purple beard, half-closed his eyes and said, "I will send someone to make a robe later, and your task is to send it to the governor."

"Oh." Zhou Shan nodded and asked, "When will the final general leave?"

Sun Quan raised his head and thought for a while: "It takes more than ten days to go back and forth from Wujun to Chaisang, so you should insist on sending it to the governor twice a month."

"Monthly? Twice? This"

Zhou Shan swallowed his saliva; there was an expression of incomprehension on his face.

Sun Quan sneered and explained: "Didn't they say that Yuzhang failed because of the lack of timely supplies and winter clothes? I can't make clothes for the whole army, but it's no problem to satisfy the governor alone. You can wear it all year round." , I send them every month, the governor has done his best for Jiangdong, and I want him to wear new clothes every day."

"The end will be saved." Zhou Shan clasped his fists in agreement.

Sun Quan waved Zhou Shanzhao to the front again, and whispered: "You often go to Chaisang to deliver clothes in the future, remember to establish a good relationship with the waiters and attendants of the governor, so that you will be familiar with things like this."

"The final general will live up to the high expectations of the lord."

Zhou Yu now holds a powerful army in his hands. After Xu Kun's death, he has all the military power in Jiangdong. This poses a serious threat to Sun Quan, and it will be very difficult to contain if he has a different heart.

In order to stabilize his political power, Sun Quan threw out one trick after another with small tricks.
