"Second Young Master was captured?" All the nobles in Jiangdong were alarmed. These nobles had a very good impression of Sun Quan. This was because Sun Quan had a good relationship with the scholars as well as the nobles. He vaguely hinted that he wanted to co-rule the world with the nobles. If there were any benefits, then he would be thinking about the nobles.
However, Sun Ce was not like this. Although Sun Ce was generous to the nobles, he was not as generous as Sun Quan. Sun Ce valued generals and looked down on civil officials. Moreover, Sun Ce hated the nobles. Although he did not say it out loud, it could be seen from the fact that Sun Ce asked the nobles for money and food. Although Sun Ce did not issue a recruitment order like Liu Mang did, he was still very selective. Some of the important matters in Jiangdong were handed over to his own people and not to the nobles.
If it were not for Sun Ce's suppression, perhaps the Jiangdong nobles would have already used their second son, Sun Quan, as their lord!
Even with Sun Ce's suppression, the nobles were still very active in private. When Sun Quan went to Linhuai, all the money and food were collected by the nobles. They had ulterior motives.
Now that the nobles heard that Sun Quan, who had a good relationship with the nobles, was captured, they immediately jumped out and prepared to go to Sun Ce and ask him to come forward and redeem Sun Quan.
"Quiet, quiet!" The noble families in Jiangdong were based on the Zhang family, and the Lu family was one of them. The head of the Zhang family stepped forward and calmed down the argument. "The second young master must be saved, but how to save him needs to be discussed in the long run!" The head of the Zhang clan is none other than Zhang Zhao. Zhang Zhao originally came from the south. The Zhang clan should not have occupied such a large territory in Jiangdong. However, Zhang Zhao is talented and has followed the lord Sun Ce for a long time. It can be said that he is an old subject.
Zhang Zhao is a slick person. He is a tactful person. He doesn't want to offend Sun Ce and Sun Quan. He is loyal to both of them. This time, Zhang Shao was very helpless. He was secretly supporting Sun Quan. But today, he had no choice but to stand up.
This was because Sun Ce ordered him to come and contact the nobles in Jiangdong and ask them to take out money. Therefore, it was a matter of offending people.
"How come I remember that the second young master was captured? If we do not rescue him, I am afraid he will not be able to endure this hardship." The head of the nobles stood up. Zhang Zhao looked at him and saw that he was from Kuiji. Sun Quan had taken care of him when he was the county magistrate. That was why he immediately spoke up. If Sun Quan died, he would lose a backer.
"Yes, yes!" Those who had received Sun Quan's favor all stood up and spoke up.
Zhang Zhao looked at the group of people below and snorted coldly. It was as if Jiangdong would not survive without Sun Quan. Zhang Zhao stood up and snorted.
"The second young master was captured by the enemy! Milord has already sent an envoy to negotiate! "
"Milord is righteous! The second young master is like Jiang Gong to Zhou Wang! " If Sun Quan was here, they could get more benefits. If Sun Quan was not here, they could only live under Sun Ce's suppression.
Jiangdong had a lot of talents. If all the positions were occupied by these talents, the nobles would be jealous.
"Although Milord has sent an envoy, Yangzhou is too greedy. Lü Bu is like a wolf. In exchange for the second young master, we need ten thousand gold!"
"Ten thousand gold?!" There were dozens of people who gasped. Ten thousand gold, how many lifetimes of savings was that?
