Let's look at another person's resume first.
Zhang Zhao, a senior official of Sun Wu, was born in Pengcheng, Xuzhou, Jiangsu. When Sun Ce started his business, Wei Changshi, a corps commander of the government army, entrusted Zhang Zhao with civil and military affairs. Later, after Sun Ce's death, he helped Sun Quan stabilize the situation in Jiangdong.
When Sun Quan was king, and when Sun Quan became prime minister twice, everyone recommended Zhang Zhao. However, Sun Quan refused to hire Zhang Zhao on the grounds of his daring and integrity.
After the rise of Sun in the first year of Huanglong, Zhang Zhao returned to his official position on the grounds of old age and illness, and was in charge of deployment. He once did not participate in politics in his later years. Jiahe died five years ago at the age of 8 1 year.
When Zhang Zhao was in Battle of Red Cliffs, he was a famous commander, although he did not stand in the local school of Wu (the local family of Wu County will record that Zhang Zhao belongs to the foreign school). ), but the main losers at that time were mostly local factions. After all, there is no loss in reducing Cao to a local faction, and it is possible to gain more benefits.
Zhang Zhao, who was on the wrong team, died a natural death, not to mention Zhou Yu who followed Sun Jian and Sun Ce to attack Jiangdong. Although Sun's Group was born in Wu Jun, Jiangdong, its starting point is not high, and it is not a local county. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, which paid great attention to fertility, the starting point of the first generation founder Sun Jian was only a little higher than that of Liu Huangshu. He worked as a county magistrate in Jiangdong, but he was not a very important official position and his family reputation was not high, so Sun Jian only worked for people like Liu Bei at first.
As far as Jiangdong County is concerned, almost all the ministers of Sun's Group who initiated the development of Jiangdong Brace Shares are outsiders, and they are not well-known in Jiangdong, so the contradiction between the local faction and the foreign faction is obvious. For Sun Quan, who has never been a big official in China for three generations, to consolidate Sun Shi's inheritance, he must rely on the foreign faction, and the backbone of the foreign faction at that time was Zhou Yu, who was "stronger than gold" with Sun Ce.
Zhou Yu is the pillar of Sun Ce's checks and balances, and even the suppression of Jiangdong County. After all, Battle of Red Cliffs brought high prestige to Zhou Yu. In addition, Zhou Yu is from Lujiang, that is, Lujiang County, Anhui Province today, not Jiangdong.
Zhou Yu was Sun Quan's most trusted minister at that time. Although his fame and prestige once overshadowed Sun Quan, his interests were the same. If Zhou Yu ends up like Lu Xun, it is tantamount to losing his wings and controlling the backbone of the local faction.
This situation is the same as that of Liu Bei facing Yizhou. He relied on the entrepreneurial team in Jingzhou to suppress Yizhou School. Even if Zhuge Liang can hold Liu Chan aloft, he can't break his arm.
Then look at Lu Xun. Lu Xun's ending was extremely tragic. He is a straight man and an official. In the party struggle in southern Shandong, he did not confuse local factions and always adhered to the principle of being honest and upright. Of course, this is also because Lu Xun saw through the final failure of the local faction in this inheritance war early.
But the problem is that this absurd and protracted party struggle is actually a conspiracy against local factions under the control of Sun Quan. All local factions involved in the party struggle, whether supporting Prince Sun He or King Sun Ba of Lu, have been eliminated, while foreign factions have nothing to do with it. The most unjust thing was Lu Xun, who was "accidentally" involved in the party struggle and eventually died of indignation.
In this party struggle, it was Zhuge Ke who was so headstrong that he had nothing to do, let alone the living viceroy of Zhou Da. Moreover, with Zhou Yu's intelligence, it is impossible not to see through Sun Quan's plan, and even the two may have a private talk to make things more complete.
Sun Quan is not a fool, nor is he a reckless man who can't distinguish between primary and secondary contradictions. Zhou Yu was an extremely important figure in Wu Dong regime both at home and abroad. Besides, there are not enough birds, how can a good bow be hidden? There is a powerful Wei State in the world, and Shu State in the west restricts the survival and development space of Wu State.
