Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 2491 Elevator extraction strategy

  In fact, the style and appearance of the current noble families of the Han Dynasty, the so-called integrity, in fact, at this point in time, is no longer comparable to that of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, not even that of Emperor Guangwu. As the middle and upper class of the political circle, the demeanor and demeanor shown by these people will greatly affect the grassroots officials, and then spread to the entire Han Dynasty.

  Political ecology is not just about shouting slogans. Once these political figures of the big man start to abandon morality and purely pursue interests, basically don’t expect these people to continue to lead the people of the big man to glory.

  Especially in these areas where the old forces are circling stubbornly, it is simply a hard-hit area.

  Zhang Yun is getting old, and he has never slept well. After being woken up, he drank a bowl of warm ginseng soup, and let the maid relax his legs, feet and shoulders.

  At present, Zhang Yun has several. The big man has a single name, so there are many people with the same name and surname, like a certain strong and certain Wei in later generations, and they are also called a large group.

The people serving beside Zhang Yun in Jiangdong are all old people who have been with Zhang Yun for a long time. You don't need to be too familiar with Zhang Yun's situation. Seeing Zhang Yun recovering from fatigue, he quickly helped Zhang Yun to sit up Then I went to inform Gu Ti.

   Gu Yong was grounded.

  Of course, it is declared "stationary".

   It's just that the Gu family is very big, and it's impossible to arrest and seal all the Gu family, so Gu Yong's clansman, Gu Ti, can still come out and connect with Jiangdong's surnames.

  Although the Zhang family usually does not rule the roost with financial resources, and does not deliberately show off, there are still more than a dozen residences in the Zhang family's mansion, and there are five or six large and small halls.

   Tingtao Hall is not very big here, but the surrounding furnishings are complete, and all of them are precious artifacts. Just like the so-called "Bie Ye" in later generations, it doesn't mean that a cement shell can be regarded as a luxury house after spending tens of millions of dollars. These things inside are the real heritage of a family. Not to mention other things, there are nearly two hundred people who maintain the house on a daily basis, each performing their duties, and the upper and lower ranks are strict. If it is like spending a piece of money and wanting a servant to hold several positions at the same time, I am afraid it will not be reported. He was laughed to death by the real nobles.

  Gu Ti, under the guidance of Zhang's servants, walked through the corridor, and then passed through two or three small courtyards before falling into the Tingtao Hall.

Zhang Yun is still giving Gu Ti, um, some face for Gu Shi. He has already changed into a formal attire, sitting there and waiting, and when Gu Ti comes in by name, Zhang Yun is still polite, or He pretended to be polite and got up a little bit, making a gesture of greeting.

  Actually, Zhang Yun, the so-called Jiangdong Qingliu celebrity, if he was placed in later generations, he would be a proper drug addict, and the Chaoyang masses reported it without discussing it. But after all, the big man at the moment, this behavior of taking five stone powder is a manifestation of elegance.

  Of course, there is a price to be paid for such elegance, the most direct one is serious damage to the body. Normally speaking, the daily health regimen of a powerful family like the gentry can guarantee that their lifespan is much longer than that of ordinary people, while Zhang Yun, who has just passed middle age, exudes a decadent atmosphere, feeling that the days are imminent Many, mostly because of the daily indulgence when I was young.

Jiangdong has been in peace for a long time, and without any external threats, a nobleman like Zhang Yun has basically lost all his aggressiveness. Care about their own interests, the family's money.

  Gu Ti looked at Zhang Yun's attitude, and returned the courtesy even more politely, "Mr. Zhang is like this, how dare I behave like this?" Disturbing Zhang Gong's cleanliness is already frightening, if Zhang Gong is so polite, I will feel ashamed and leave in fear. 』

  No matter what happens, etiquette cannot be lost.

  Zhang Yunxu led Gu Ti to his seat, "I heard about Zitong's handsome talent earlier, but unfortunately I never got to meet him. Today, while listening to the waves, I got Zitong up to this point, and he is so brilliant..."

When Gu Ti heard Zhang Yun praise him, he half stood up and avoided his seat to show his modesty. After Zhang Yun finished speaking slowly, he took up the conversation and said, "Mr. Zhang, I am ashamed to accept this praise... You shouldn't come here to disturb Zhang Gong's cultivation of mind, but this secular way is gradually out of control, if you let it go, you may harm the world! It's all right for the poor family not to think about the kindness of the family, after all, people have all kinds of attitudes, there are people with both virtues and virtues, and there are also people with little kindness and bad deeds. Now I never thought that there was a scorpion who wanted to do chaos! 』

  『Last night, what happened to Gu’s house was really strange. Gu Ti continued, "If only one person was wronged, that's fine, but now we want to kill them all, how can we ignore it?" The Gu family is usually cautious in words and deeds. If they are resigned from the government and convicted of crimes, Jiangdong's hearts may be chilled... It's just that this scorpion is backed up. If it is used in this way, I don't know what state of affairs it will be in! At present, in the name of false spies, the inspection of officials is actually to exclude loyal and good people, and it is also true that they want to form cliques for personal gain. 』

  『The wind and rain in Wu County is uncertain this year. Only Mr. Zhang can preside over such a major event! Therefore, I am here to ask Mr. Zhang, how to deal with the matter here? 』

  Gu Ti didn’t make any circles with Zhang Yun. Firstly, because of their identities, it’s inappropriate to speculate on each other’s words and deeds. On the other hand, it’s cloudy. Wouldn’t it be a bad thing if they misunderstood?

  Zhang Yun frowned. He didn't want to talk to death about such a more practical topic.

He had received news about Gu's matter a long time ago, and the reason why he didn't take any action was mainly because Zhang Yun knew that this matter was not about Ji Yan alone, and he had to guard against Sun Quan's other actions. .

During this period of time, Jiangdong has not been very stable, and various problems have emerged one after another. The various follow-up rectifications and measures after the Qingxu War are already cumbersome. If you express your attitude, you may lose the initiative in the follow-up matters.

  Besides, Sun Quan and Ji Yan are mainly targeting Gu Shi now. With Gu Shi topping the front to attract firepower, wouldn't it be possible to better see Sun Quan and Ji Yan's follow-up methods?

  Anyway, it's not Zhang's turn to be damaged for the time being, so Zhang Yun is of course not in a hurry to express his opinion.

  At that moment, Zhang Yun's expression became a little colder, and he said with a faint smile: "Zi Tong is also considered one of his own family members, so I will trust you, so why not say something from your heart... How can such perverse actions last for a long time?" 』

  『But now that this person is worthy of favor, even if there are some small mistakes, he is more tolerant...' Zhang Yun stroked his beard, squinted slightly and said, 'And such a big matter...is not something I can decide with one word. Now that the hustle and bustle is rampant, there may not be no oriole hiding behind. If it shows up early, I am afraid that there will be less room for tolerance later... May as well be calm and don't be impatient...』

Gu Ti raised his eyebrows slightly, and simply said it more bluntly, "What Mr. Zhang said is very true, and he has won the way of a gentleman to hide things... But this time it is not simply for the clerks, nor for the tenants of the manor, but for the sake of the manor tenants." It's for the soldiers of all families! 』

  『If it weren’t for the support of our soldiers from various families, how could we have the solidity of Jiangdong! Gu Ti said with a sneer, "Nowadays you have to pull the ladder to go up to the house, how do you expect such people to stop?" If we list all our soldiers, if there is some trouble at that time, but I don't know how to ensure the safety of the whole family? 』

  『It's not that I have any prejudice against this scorpion, but that the current military affairs cannot be left in the hands of others. Gu Ti leaned forward slightly, "What's more, there are emperors in the north and hussars in the west. What's going on in this side of the world is unknown yet. If our soldiers are taken away by others and cannot be used by ourselves, if there is a change at that time, is it possible that they will all go into exile? 』

  Zhang Yun frowned.

  Gu Ti is so aggressive, Zhang Yun is naturally displeased.

  In fact, Jiangdong's various families complement each other and compete with each other.

  Since Lu Kang, the Lu family has been going down all the way, and now they can only protect themselves, which is not a bad situation. On the other hand, the Zhu family is a newcomer. Although they hold soldiers in their hands, they are not very stable.

   Therefore, at the moment in Jiangdong, if there is no Gu, there will be Zhang.

  Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong and others, although they are scholars from the north of the Yangtze River, didn’t they say they belonged to the same family five hundred years ago, so they are naturally very close to Zhang Yun and often come and go. From this point of view, the Zhang family also has the ability to compete for the position of Jiangdong's No. 1 family. This is the deep-seated reason why Zhang Yun has been procrastinating repeatedly, even after knowing the change.

   It's just that Zhang Yun's health is too poor, so others have concerns.

  After all, no one wants to support a time bomb, and then it will disappear with a bang at some point, and all the previous investment will be in vain, right?

  Zhang Yun did have reason to be angry. After all, the Zhang family has not obtained any high position under Sun Quan at present, but Gu Yong is not. In this incident, it was obvious that Ji Yan was charging ahead, while Sun Quan was waving the flag and shouting at the back, waiting for the follow-up. However, the Gu Yong Gu family, who was supposed to be the main force in the battle, turned out to beg for help at the beginning of the battle banner…

  When he held an important position, he didn't think about Mrs. Zhang, but when he had a problem, he came to Mrs. Zhang. How could this make Zhang Yun angry?

Seeing Zhang Yun's slight anger, Gu Ti was not afraid at all. He just bowed and saluted, expressing that he contradicted what he said. It was once said that it was recommended by your son... and I don't know if this is true or not? 』

  Zhang Yun's eyes were fixed. Although it is said that Gu Ti is rude, but if the matter of recommending Ji Yan is really "recommended" by Zhang Wen...

After Sun Quan came to power, he urgently needed to win over the big families in Jiangdong. Among the four surnames of Zhu, Gu, Zhang and Lu, Zhu Zhi himself was used to balance Gu Yong. As a result, Sun Quan didn't expect that Zhu Zhi, who had thick eyebrows and big eyes, would also rebel. He wanted to pull some more people and mix sand in the field, so he found Zhang Wen.

   After all, Zhang Wen is young, and being young is easier to fool to a certain extent.

  At least Sun Quan thinks so.

  So he pestered Zhang Wen every day, what was the three visits to the thatched cottage, he came every day, and there were nine visits. Facts have proved that if you really don't want to be an official, let alone three visits, nine visits are useless. Zhang Wen was only in his teens at that time, much younger than Sun Quan, with small arms and small chest. If he really became an official, he would be regarded as an official. , or is it a hostage?

  So at that time, Zhang Yun simply asked Zhang Wen to shirk and decline, and then recommended to Sun Quan some children from poor families, including Jiyan.

  Among these children, it can be said that Zhang Wen recommended it, or it can be said that it was not.

A serious recommendation requires endorsement, that is to say, there must be joint and several responsibilities, and this kind of bluntly speaking, it means that there is a certain talent in a certain place, it is more like a favor, and it cannot It was a serious "recommendation", but the problem was that as soon as Gu Ti said it, Zhang Yun was aware of the problem.

   This is life and death to drag Mrs. Zhang into the water...

  The strategy of pulling out the ladder!

In history, Zhuge Liang was not the only one who silently made the Northern Expedition in the Southwest. In fact, Sun Quan also went to the Northern Expedition again and again, and there were only winners and losers. No, it was almost opened as a super experience package.

   You should know that although the main population in history was in the north, Jiangdong was not weak. During Sun Quan's several northern expeditions, the number of troops dispatched far exceeded that of the Shu Han, and Fang had the nickname "Sun Shiwan". However, such a number of soldiers and horses has not been able to achieve any outstanding results. This shows that there has always been a big problem in the command of Jiangdong soldiers.

Now that Sun Quan was stimulated by Fei Qian, he once again wanted to pick up the prestige and authority of his father and brother, but he couldn't control the army. The major noble families in Jiangdong had already established their power, and whenever there was something to do, they tried their best to hold back. In the end, Sun Quan naturally did nothing. Don't try to make it.

   Don’t look at Sun Quan as high above the sky, but in fact, he is like a high platform without ladders, trapped in a high place, unable to go up to the sky, let alone go down to the ground...

   Now, Sun Quan is actually using the strategy of drawing ladders for the major families in Jiangdong.

  Consecrate it high, and then kill the ladders of these people, or change the original ladders of these people to your own name, such as Jiyan.

  Gu Ti put it bluntly, meaning one.

   This matter cannot be avoided, it is better for everyone to face it together.

   If you want to fight, just fight!

  Sun Quan must not be allowed to use Jiyan's hands to remove the cornerstones from the people's feet and the stairs to the upper floors!

  Whether it is a man or a soldier, whether it is money for food, holding it in your own hands is always more comfortable than relying on others! These cornerstones and steps must be in your own hands no matter what!

  After trying to understand the truth, Zhang Yun couldn't help but sighed slightly: "Zi Tong is sharp and vigorous, but I can see it clearly... the old man has been taught... but what can I do?" Now, using the name of Jiangbei spies to make efforts, and don't know what other means will be used in the future, maybe they are just waiting to see our flaws, how can this be easily done? 』

The current political situation in Jiangdong is very similar to the party struggles of the later generations. It is even impossible to gain a foothold if you cannot rely on one of them. In the political hall, who is who is very clear. When it comes to the outside world, there are also internal disputes.

Zhang Yun knew that Gu Ti could be regarded as the newly rising backbone of the Gu family, and he was also famous for his intelligence. After being moved by Gu Ti, he didn't have any scruples. He opened up the topic and finally uttered some truths. .

Eating Wushi powder is refreshing for a while, but the damage to the nerves and body is permanent. Although Zhang Yun claims to be smart, the corroded and damaged brain nerves are somewhat unable to keep up. After realizing the seriousness of the situation, he subconsciously Some of them wanted to see if Gu Ti had any good ideas.

  Jiyan was obviously determined to stand on Sun Quan's side, completely disregarding the face of the children of the Jiangdong gentry, and willingly fell into the role of Sun Quan's minions. To deal with these hawks and dogs, the key is how Sun Quan will react after the attack?

  This is the most critical question.

  『Mr. Zhang, since you are willing to climb high, why don’t you send me a ladder…’ Gu Ti said slowly.

  Zhang Yun was taken aback for a moment, and send another ladder?

  To Jiyan or to Sun Quan?

   Or, two people give it together?

Gu Ti seemed to know what Zhang Yun was thinking, his eyes flashed, and he continued to explain: "This time is nothing more than taking advantage of the name, taking the opportunity to make trouble, using people to seek soldiers, using soldiers to seek power... this move , It looks like it is targeting the Gu family, but it is actually planning the money, grain and military power of the various families! 』

  『So no matter how much disturbance there is at the moment, it will eventually belong to the private soldiers of each family! ’Gu Ti’s eyes were deep, ‘However...someone forgot, in Jiangdong, not only every family and surname have private soldiers! 』

  Zhang Yun widened his eyes, "You mean..."

  Gu Ti nodded.

  Zhang Yun couldn't help pondering.

  In fact, Zhang Yun has already been persuaded by Gu Ti, but he still feels a little uneasy in his heart. It's just that he is self-confident, and feels that it is somewhat embarrassing to ask Gu Ti for the overall plan.

  Gu Ti is so smart, he didn't need Zhang Yun to ask, but he directly explained: "That's the end of the story, it's all up to Zhang Gong to make a decision." As long as the fire starts nearby, it will naturally stop here. These eagle dogs will find a name at that time...』

  Gu Ti suddenly smiled, "It's just like the case of Gu Zhai, it's not bad, you can let him die or die..."

  Zhang Yun didn't speak, but Gu Ti's analysis gave him a lot of clarity about the things that he had been confused about. He is also a figure who has been in Jiangdong's political ups and downs for many years. If his body has not been riddled with holes under the poison of Wushisan, he can probably analyze it by himself now. Now that Gu Ti has mentioned the key point, after pondering over it, he feels that his judgment of the situation is generally appropriate, and his plans and actions are also very accurate.

   Gu Yong was grounded.

  Although Gu Ti is smart, his weight is not enough.

  Lu Xun is shrinking his head in everything now.

  Zhu Zhi was a little out of touch, and didn't want to enter the arena for the time being.

   Therefore, only Zhang Yun sells his old face, and it still has some weight.

  This is the reason why Gu Ti came to Zhang Yun and showed Zhang Yun how powerful he is.

   This matter, to do it, is naturally risky, but now I am considering whether I want to take this risk.

   Zhang Yun looked at Gu Ti's youthful face, delicate and translucent skin, and then looked down at his hand, which was as old as a shriveled chicken paw, and suddenly felt that he was indeed old, and...

   I can’t say that my time is running out...

  Zhang Wen is the youngest son of Zhang Yun, and he can be regarded as an old son.

   After all, the survival rate of Dahan's current children has always been worrying.

  Zhang Yun pondered for a long time, then stood up and walked to the front of the court.

   Tingtao Hall, there are naturally trees planted around it.

  Zhang Yun turned his head and signaled, "The tree in the courtyard has been planted since the day of the dog's birth... Although it has branches and leaves, it is tall and long, but it is still afraid of insects and knives..."

  Gu Ti's eyes moved slightly, and he understood immediately. He stood up and saluted and said, "If Mr. Zhang makes a move... Mrs. Gu will protect this tree with deep roots and lush leaves, and grow into a forest!" 』

  Zhang Yun took a breath, nodded, and then said in a deep voice: "So, nephew might as well go back first, just wait..."

  Gu Ti hurriedly lifted up the hem of his shirt, and kowtowed to Zhang Yunxing, "My nephew is entrusted to my uncle!" 』

  『I know that my virtuous nephew is worried now, and it’s hard to live here...』 Zhang Yun smiled and stepped forward to help him up, "However, from now on, I will treat this place as my own home, and come and go often to show my closeness. 』

  『I would like to obey my uncle's order. ’ Gu Ti nodded and said, ‘Nephew bids farewell…’

  Zhang Yun nodded and asked the steward to send Gu Ti out, but he stood under the tree, looked up, stroked the tree, and then sighed slightly.
