Chapter 2491 Evacuation Strategy
In fact, the style and so-called integrity of the Han Dynasty''s noble families are no longer comparable to those of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty at this point in time, and even cannot be compared to that of Emperor Guangwu. As the middle and upper levels of the political circle, the style and demeanor displayed by these people would greatly affect the grassroots officials, and then spread to the entire Han Dynasty.
Political ecology is more than just shouting slogans. Once these politicians of the Han Dynasty begin to abandon morality and purely pursue interests, basically there is no hope that these people can continue to lead the people of the Han Dynasty to glory.
Especially in these areas where the old forces are entrenched and stubborn, they are simply the hardest-hit areas.
?Zhang Yun was getting older and had never slept well. After being woken up, he drank a bowl of warm ginseng soup and asked the maid to relax his legs, feet and shoulders. After a little refreshment, he felt a little better.
At present in the Han Dynasty, there are several Zhang Yun. Dahan has a single name, so there are many people with the same name and surname, just like a certain strong person or a great person in later generations, and each of them is called a big name.
The people serving Zhang Yun in Jiangdong were all old people who had been with Zhang Yun for a long time. They didn''t need to be too familiar with Zhang Yun''s situation. Seeing Zhang Yun recover from fatigue, they quickly helped Zhang Yun sit down. , then went to notify Gu Ti.
Gu Yong was grounded.
Of course, the external declaration is "still".
??It''s just that the Gu family is very big, and it''s impossible to arrest and seal all the Gu family members, so Gu Yong''s clan member Gu Ti can still come out and hook up with all the surnames in Jiangdong.
Although the Zhang family usually does not dominate with financial resources, nor does it 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.
The Tingtao Hall is not very big, but the surrounding furnishings are complete, and all of them are valuable items. Just like the so-called "Bie Ye" in later generations, it is not just spending millions or millions to buy a cement shell that can be considered a mansion. These things inside are the true heritage of a family. Not to mention other things, there are nearly 200 people who maintain the house on a daily basis, each performing his own duties, and the hierarchy is strict. If you spend a small amount of money and want a servant to hold several positions at the same time, I''m afraid it won''t spread. He was laughed to death by the real noble family.
Under the guidance of Zhang''s servants, Gu Ti passed through the cloister, and then passed two or three small courtyards before entering the Tingtao Hall.
Zhang Yun was still giving Gu Ti, um, a little face to the Gu family. He had already changed into formal clothes and sat there waiting. When Gu Ti came in at the roll call, Zhang Yun was still polite, or Pretending to be polite, he stood up slightly to greet him.
??Actually, Zhang Yun, a so-called famous person from Jiangdong, if placed in later generations, would be a drug addict, and there would be no discussion if the people in Chaoyang reported him. But after all, the behavior of a big man taking Five Stone Powder is a manifestation of elegance.
?Of course, such elegance comes with a price, the most direct one being serious damage to the body. Normally speaking, the daily regimen of a wealthy and powerful person from a noble family can ensure that their lifespan is much longer than that of ordinary people. However, someone like Zhang Yun, who has just passed middle age, exudes an aura of decay and feels that time is running out. Most of them are due to daily indulgence in youth.
Jiangdong has been in peace for a long time. In the absence of any external threats, nobles like Zhang Yun have basically lost all their enterprising ideas. As for the changes in the current situation of the Han Dynasty, it can be said that they are not concerned at all. Care about your own interests and family money.
Seeing Zhang Yun''s gesture, Gu Ti returned the favor even more politely, "How dare I do this, Mr. Zhang?" Disturbing Zhang Gong''s purity is already a panic. If Zhang Gong is so polite again, I will feel ashamed and leave in panic. 』
No matter what happens, etiquette cannot be lost.
?Zhang Yun pretended to invite Gu Ti to sit down, "I have long heard that Zi Tong is a handsome and talented person, but unfortunately I have never had the chance to meet him. Today, while listening to the waves, I found Zi Tong here, and I am so brilliant..."
When Gu Ti heard Zhang Yun praising him, he half stood up and avoided his seat to show his modesty. After Zhang Yun finished speaking slowly, he took over the conversation and said, "I am ashamed to receive this praise from Mr. Zhang... It''s true..." You shouldn’t come here to disturb Mr. Zhang’s spiritual cultivation. However, this worldly way is gradually losing control. If you let it go, you may cause harm to all directions! It''s fine that the poor family doesn''t care about the family''s kindness. After all, people have different characteristics. There are people who are both virtuous and virtuous, but there are also people who are ungrateful and bad. Now I never thought that there would be someone who wanted to do something chaotic! 』
"What happened last night at home was really strange." Gu Ti continued, "If only one person is wronged, that''s fine. Now we want to kill them all. How can we ignore it?" Everyone in the Gu family is usually careful about their words and deeds. If they are dismissed from office and convicted for this, it will probably chill the hearts of everyone in Jiangdong... But there are people who support this person. If this method is used, I don''t know what state the national affairs will be in! Currently, people are using the name of spies to inspect officials, but in fact they are excluding loyal people and trying to form cliques for personal gain. 』
『The weather in Wu County is uncertain this year, and only Mr. Zhang can preside over such a major event! Therefore, I am here to ask Mr. Zhang for a word. How should we deal with the matter here? 』
??Gu Ti didn''t go around in any circles with Zhang Yun. Firstly, the two people''s identities were placed there, and it was not suitable for them to speculate on each other''s words and deeds. On the other hand, it was so cloudy that it would be a bad thing if the understanding was wrong.
?Zhang Yun frowned a little. He didn''t want to talk about a more practical topic like this.
He had already received the news about the Gu family. The reason why he had not taken any action was mainly because he thought that Zhang Yun knew that this matter was not Ji Yan''s problem alone, and he also wanted to guard against Sun Quan making other moves. .
During this period of time, Jiangdong has not been very stable, and various problems have emerged one after another. Just the various follow-up rectifications and measures after the Qingxu War are already cumbersome. The interests of various families are intertwined and there are many disputes with each other. If Zhang Yun had already If you express your attitude, you may lose the initiative in subsequent matters.
??And now Sun Quan and Ji Yan are mainly targeting the Gu family. With the Gu family in 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 suffer the damage for the time being, so Zhang Yun is of course not in a hurry to express his position.
At that moment, Zhang Yun''s expression became slightly colder, and he said with a slight smile: "Zitong can be considered a member of the family, so I''m just asking him to help you. You might as well say something sincerely... How can such a perverse and rebellious move last long?" 』
“But now that this person is worthy of being favored, even if there are some small mistakes, he will be tolerant..." Zhang Yun stroked his beard and narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "And such a big matter... I can''t decide it with just one word. Nowadays, there is a lot of noise, and there may not be no oriole hiding behind. If you show your whereabouts early, I am afraid that there will be less room for tolerance later... It is better to stay calm..."
Gu Ti raised his eyebrows slightly, and simply said more bluntly, "What Mr. Zhang said is true. He has learned a gentleman''s way of hiding weapons... But this time it is not just for the clerk or the tenants of the manor, but for the sake of the tenants of the manor." It''s for the soldiers of each family! 』
"If it weren''t for the support of our soldiers, how could Jiangdong be strong?" Gu Ti said with a sneer, "Now that the only way to go up to the house is to take the stairs, how can we expect such people to stop?" If all our soldiers are cataloged, if there is some trouble at that time, but I don''t know how to ensure the safety of the family? 』
It is not that I have any prejudice against this Zhuzi, but the current military affairs cannot be left to the hands of others. Gu Ti leaned forward slightly, "What''s more, there is an emperor in the north and a hussar in the west. What is going on in this world is not known yet." If our soldiers are snatched away and cannot be used for our own purposes, and if something unexpected happens, will they all go into exile? 』
Zhang Yun frowned.
Zhang Yun was naturally unhappy that Gu Ti was so aggressive.
In fact, the various families in Jiangdong complement each other and compete with each other.
Since Lu Kang, the Lu family has been on a decline. Now it can only protect itself, and it is not a good climate. On the other hand, the Zhu family is a new member. Although it has soldiers, it is not very stable.
Therefore, in Jiangdong at present, it is not Gu Zezhang.
??Although Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong and others were from Jiangbei, they were in the same family as before five hundred years ago, so they were naturally close to Zhang Yun and often visited each other. From this aspect, the Zhang family also has the ability to compete for the position of the No. 1 family in Jiangdong. This is the underlying reason why Zhang Yun has repeatedly delayed and even remained in high secrecy even after knowing about the changes.
?It''s just that Zhang Yun is in poor health, so others are worried.
After all, no one wants to support a time bomb, and then it will go away without knowing when, and all the previous investment will be in vain, right?
?Zhang Yun did have reason to be angry. After all, the Zhang family did not obtain any high position under Sun Quan, but Gu Yong did not. In this incident, it was obvious that Ji Yan was charging forward, while Sun Quan was waving flags and shouting from behind, waiting for the follow-up. However, Gu Yong, who was supposed to be the main force in the battle, ended up raising flags for help as soon as the war started. banner…
When he took up the important position, he didn’t think about Mr. Zhang, but when he got into trouble, he came to see Ms. Zhang. How could Zhang Yun not be angry about this?
Seeing Zhang Yun''s slightly angry look, Gu Ti was not afraid at all. He just bowed to show that he had contradicted his words and hoped that Zhang Gonghai would forgive him. Then he added: "There is one more thing... When this son took office in the past, It was once said that it was recommended by the Young Master...and I don’t know whether this is true or not? 』
Zhang Yun''s eyes narrowed. Although it is said that Gu Tiduo was rude, but if this recommendation and beauty thing 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, and Zhang Lu, Zhu Zhi himself was used to balance Gu Yong. As a result, Sun Quan did not expect that Zhu Zhi, the thick-browed and big-eyed man, would also rebel. He just wanted to I wanted to recruit more people to mix sand into the venue, so I found Zhang Wen.
After all, Zhang Wen is young, and being young means he is easier to fool to a certain extent.
At least that’s what Sun Quan thought.
So he pestered Zhang Wen every day. Three visits to the thatched cottage were nothing, but he came every day and paid 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 breasts. If he really wanted to become an official, he would be considered an official. , or are they considered hostages?
??So at that time, Zhang Yun simply asked Zhang Wen to politely refuse, and then recommended some children from poor families to Sun Quan, including Ji Yan.
Among these disciples, it can be said that Zhang Wen recommended them, or it can be said that they were not.
A serious recommendation requires endorsement, that is to say, there must be joint and several liability. And this kind of casual saying, indicating that there is such and such a talented person in such and such a place, is more like a favor and cannot be used. It was considered a serious "recommendation", but the problem was that as soon as Gu Ti said it, Zhang Yun noticed the problem.
This is a life-and-death plan to drag Mr. Zhang into the water... A strategy to pull out the ladder!
In history, Zhuge Liang was not the only one who silently went on the Northern Expedition in the southwest. In fact, Sun Quan also carried out the Northern Expedition three times, with only victories and losses. During the Northern Expedition, Sun Quan went into battle in person several times, but he was just a little bit functional. If not, it was almost given away 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, so he was nicknamed "Sun Shiwan". However, such a number of soldiers and horses have never been able to achieve any outstanding results. This shows that there have always been big problems in the management of Jiangdong soldiers.
Now Sun Quan has been stimulated by Fei Qian, and once again wants to take up the authority of his father and brother, but he cannot control the army. The major noble families in Jiangdong have become powerful, and they will try their best to restrain him whenever something happens. In the end, Sun Quan naturally can''t do anything. Don''t even think about it.
Even though Sun Quan seems to be high up, he is actually like a high platform without a ladder. He is trapped at a high place, unable to go up to heaven, and even less able to go down to the earth...
Now, Sun Quan is actually using the strategy of withdrawing from the major families in Jiangdong.
?Hote them high, and then kill these people’s ladders, or change the original ladders of these people to their own names, such as Ji Yan.
?Gu Ti put it bluntly and meant the same thing.
This matter cannot be avoided, so it is better for everyone to work together to face it.
If you want to fight, just have one!
??Sun Quan must not be allowed to use Ji Yan''s hands to take away the foundation stone under everyone''s feet and the stairs to the upper floor!
?Whether it’s people or soldiers, whether it’s money or food, it’s always more comfortable to hold it in your own hands than to rely on others! These cornerstones and steps must be in our own hands no matter what!
After thinking about the truth, Zhang Yun couldn''t help but sigh slightly: "Zitong is very energetic, so I can see clearly...I have been taught...but what can I do?" Now we are using the name of a Jiangbei spy to exert force, and we don’t know what other methods will be used in the future. Maybe we are just waiting to see our flaws. How can we easily do this? 』
The current political situation in Jiangdong is very similar to the kind of party struggle in later generations. There are even some situations where it is impossible to stand if one cannot rely on one of them. In the government hall, it is clear who is who, and several major political groups are united with each other. Externally, there are also disputes internally.
Zhang Yun knew that Gu Ti was the newly rising backbone of the Gu family and was known to be very intelligent. After being moved by Gu Ti, he had no scruples and opened up the topic, finally speaking out some truth. .
Taking Wushi Powder feels good for a while, but the damage to the nerves and body is permanent. Although Zhang Yun prides himself on being smart, his eroded and damaged brain nerves are still 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.
Ji Yan was obviously determined to stand on Sun Quan''s side. She didn''t care about the dignity of the Jiangdong gentry''s children and was willing to become Sun Quan''s pawn. The key to dealing with such hawks is how will Sun Quan react after he takes action?
This is the most critical issue.
"Mr. Zhang, since you are willing to climb high, you might as well give me a ladder..." Gu Ti said slowly.
?Zhang Yun was stunned for a moment, and gave him another ladder?
To Ji Yan or to Sun Quan?
Or, give it to two people together?
Gu Ti seemed to know what Zhang Yun was thinking, and with his eyes flashing, he continued to explain: "This move is nothing more than taking advantage of fame and opportunity to make trouble, using people to seek troops, and using troops to seek power... This move , it looks like it is targeting the Gu family, but in fact it is planning to control the money, food and military power of the various families! 』
Therefore, no matter how turbulent the current situation is, it will eventually be attributed to each private soldier! ” Gu Ti’s eyes were deep, “But...someone has forgotten that in Jiangdong, it’s not just families with different surnames who have private soldiers! 』
Zhang Yun''s eyes widened, "You mean..."
?Gu Ti nodded.
?Zhang Yun couldn''t help but ponder.
?In fact, Zhang Yun has been persuaded by Gu Ti, but he is still a little uneasy in his heart. He is just proud of his identity and feels that it is somewhat embarrassing to ask Gu Ti about the overall plan.
How smart Gu Ti was. He didn''t ask Zhang Yun when he saw this, but just explained directly: "That''s it, it all depends on Zhang Gong''s decision." As long as a fire starts somewhere else, it will naturally stop here. This kind of eagle dog will find another name at that time..."
??Gu Ti suddenly smiled and said, "It''s not bad even if it''s like taking care of the house. We can let him die or die..."
?Zhang Yun didn''t say anything. Gu Ti''s analysis made things that he originally thought were a little confusing became much clearer. He has also been a figure in the political ups and downs of Jiangdong for many years. If his body had not been riddled with wounds from the poison of Wu Shi San, he would probably be able to analyze it by himself at the moment. Now that I heard Gu Ti talk about the key point, after pondering deeply, I felt that I had generally judged the situation properly and that my plans and actions were very accurate.
Gu Yong was banned.
?Although Gu Ti is smart, he is not strong enough.
?Lu Xun, everything is in a state of decline now.
?Zhu Zhi was a little withdrawn and did not want to enter the venue for the time being.
?Hence, Zhang Yun is the only one who sells his old face, which still has some weight.
?This is the reason why Gu Ti came to Zhang Yun to show off his skills.
?There are risks to doing this, but now we are considering whether Zhang should take this risk.
?Zhang Yun looked at Gu Ti''s young face, delicate and translucent skin, and then looked down at his old hands, which were like shriveled chicken feet, and suddenly felt that he was indeed old, and...
I can’t say that my time is running out…
?Zhang Wen is Zhang Yun''s youngest son, and he can be regarded as a son of old age.
After all, the survival rate of children in Han Dynasty has always been relatively worrying.
?Zhang Yun pondered for a long time, stood up, and walked to the front of the court.
Tingtao Hall, naturally there are trees planted around it.
?Zhang Yun turned his head and said, "The tree in the courtyard was planted on the day the dog was born...Although it has branches and leaves, it is tall and long, but it is still afraid of insects and axes..."
Gu Ti''s eyes moved slightly, and he understood immediately. He stood up, bowed his head and saluted: "If Mr. Zhang takes action... Gu family will definitely protect this tree with deep roots and lush leaves, so that it can grow into a forest!" 』
?Zhang Yun took a breath, nodded, and then said solemnly: "In this case, my nephew might as well go back first and just wait..."
??Gu Ti quickly lifted up the hem of his clothes and kowtowed to Zhang Yun, "My nephew is entrusting me to my uncle!" 』
"I know that my nephew is worried now and can''t live here..." Zhang Yun smiled and stepped forward to help him up. "But from now on, I will treat this place as my own home. I will show my closeness by coming and going frequently." 』
『I will obey my uncle’s orders. ” Gu Ti nodded and said, “Nephew, 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.
