Three Kingdoms: From Yinlin to Great Wei Xiongzhu

Chapter 610 The descendants of the unicorn will eventually take charge of the Central Plains

The autumn cicada wailed, a leaf fell to the ground and the ground was bleak.

Lu Yu was painting in bed, and the picture showed a young, handsome, elegant figure in a red robe, surrounded by flames, but without a face.

Lu Yu said with mixed feelings: "From Huaisi to Jiangdong, you conquered for two generations. You changed from the Huaisi Residency School to the Huaisi Conquest School. How many people have you deceived?"

Zhuge Jun on the side poked his head over.

"Who is the master painting?"

"This is Jiangdong's right governor, Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin, known as Qilin. The world said that he hit it off with Jiangdong Sun Ce and swore to follow him to the death. He was loyal to Jiangdong, but in fact, he deceived everyone."

This…

Zhuge Jun was taken aback for a moment, he had heard of Zhou Yu, but...what if he deceived everyone?
As for it?
Just about to speak...

But he saw Master Lu Yu closing his eyes and meditating, as if in deep thought.

It was not easy for Zhuge Jun to interrupt him.

And what Lu Yu thought of was still Zhou Yu's character...Later generations have too many misunderstandings about Zhou Yu.

It's not that in "Deduction", it is said that he was jealous of Zhuge Liang, and finally lost his wife and broke the army, and then... was directly pissed off by Zhuge Liang.

In fact, Zhou Yu is an open-minded person.

To understand him, one must look at it from several points of view.

The first thing that bears the brunt is that, if the original wheel of history is followed, in the third year after the Battle of Chibi, the 37-year-old Zhou Yu is planning his plan to go west to Bashu and divide the world into two.

But, very suddenly... like Tai Shici, he died of illness without warning, and the military power was not passed on to his son, but to Lu, who was promoted by Sun Quan step by step from school lieutenant to general Pian to general Hengjiang. Su.

You know, Zhou Yu's death...was not caused by Zhuge Liang's anger.

To be precise, this is a premeditated political event.

For Zhou Yu...

There are too many misunderstandings in later generations.

For example... Everyone subconsciously thinks that in Jiangdong, Zhang Zhao is the surrender faction, while Zhou Yu is the main combat faction. In fact...they are exactly the same, neither of them wants to defend Jiangdong, and everything they do is to escape from Jiangdong.

Zhang Zhao believed that the easiest way to escape from Jiangdong was to surrender to Cao Cao. He could kill two birds with one stone, he escaped from Jiangdong and returned to his hometown Huaisi.

Zhou Yu believed that the most direct way to escape from Jiangdong was to lead troops to occupy Yizhou, and he had to hold a large number of troops.

here…

Many people will ask, why did Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu flee Jiangdong?

Jiangdong is their homeland!

wrong…

Jiangdong can be said to be the home of the Sun family, the home of the four major families in Wu County and the four major families in Kuaiji!
But it is by no means the homeland of the Huaisi people.

It is very different from their homeland, Jiangdong can be said to be the nightmare of Huaisi people.

Both Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu were from Huaisi. They followed Sun Ce into Jiangdong and killed countless Jiangdong people. They are the conquerors, and the major families in Jiangdong are the conquered.

It is no exaggeration to say that every true Jiangdong person hates Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao.

Sun Ce was assassinated only if he conquered too much and was backlashed.

According to Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu's thoughts, they must, definitely, must continue to support the Sun family and continue to suppress the Jiangdong people...maintaining their power as conquerors.

But in fact, whether it is Sun Quan on the original track of history, or Sun Yi today...

They all chose the Huairou method, that is to say, instead of suppressing the Jiangdong forces, they reused them to check and balance the Huaisi faction, and even weakened the Huaisi faction overtly and secretly.

This kind of behavior annoyed the Huaisi faction "Alliance of Conquerors" headed by Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao.

But take a longer view...

These decrees of the Sun family and these checks and balances will make the local clan stronger and make the Huaisi faction less and less powerful.

old days...

They are conquerors, and they are Jiangdong occupied by powerful forces.

But Feng Shui takes turns, and one day, Jiangdong's local forces rise again, and they are bound to launch a heavy counterattack against them.

So...Zhou Yu and Zhang Zhao, these Huaisi factions...whether they are living in exile or fighting, they will be afraid and eager to leave this place of right and wrong.

For this reason, they have been trying to find ways to escape from Jiangdong.

Second point…

If the original trajectory of history is followed, Liu Bei will marry Sun Xiaomei. At that time, Zhou Yu proposed to put Liu Bei under house arrest and divide Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. Lu Su proposed to form an alliance with Liu Bei and lend part of Jingzhou to Liu Bei.

In this matter, many people's views are that Zhou Yu is a loyal minister, while Lu Su is a bit of a traitor.

But in fact...

Zhou Yu was cheating Sun Quan, and Lu Su was saving Sun Quan.

Zhou Yu was playing a big game of chess. Because of the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao retreated, but Xiangyang was still in Cao Cao's hands, and he might go south to attack Nanjun at any time, but Zhou Yu was stationed in Nanjun, that is to say, Zhou Yu and Cao Cao were In direct contact, if Cao Jun takes revenge, Zhou Yu will be on the front line.

So in the third year after Chibi, Zhou Yu proposed to attack Yizhou.

His logic is also very simple, he cannot be beaten by Cao Cao sooner or later in Jingzhou;
Second, you can't go back to Jiangdong, and you will be killed by those big families sooner or later in Jiangdong;

Third...Yizhou is not bad. It is rumored that Yizhou is going to have an emperor, and it is also rumored that Wu Yi's younger sister is going to be a queen. As long as Zhou Yu leads troops into Yizhou, he will marry Wu Yi's younger sister with a letter on the mountain road, water and land , Zhou Yu is the prophesied Son of Heaven!

In the official history, when Liu Bei saw Zhou Yu, he said that Zhou Yu would never be subordinated to others.

It can also be seen from this...

Liu Bei is extremely accurate in seeing people.

Contrary to Zhou Yu, Lu Su proposed to give up Nanjun to Liu Bei. He was saving Jiangdong!

As long as Nanjun is in Liu Bei's hands, who will Cao Cao hit first when he goes south?It's Liu Bei!

Zhou Yu's calculation is to enter Yizhou... everything is for the west to serve Yizhou, but Lu Su's calculation is to protect Jiangdong.

The interpretation is full, but every action of every character in history is cruel.

Although... this is not the Zhou Yu in everyone's impression, but it is the Zhou Yu in fact, the most authentic Zhou Yu.

"call…"

With this in mind, Lu Yu exhaled deeply.

Seeing the master raised his head, Zhuge Jun asked quickly, "Master is looking for Zhou Gongjin's weakness?"

"That's right." Lu Yu smiled slightly. "Everyone has a weakness. Zhou Yu's weakness...is to escape Jiangdong."

"what…"

Zhuge Jun was shocked by this sentence.

"Isn't Zhou Yu and Sun Ce brothers? He... why would he want to escape from Jiangdong?"

"You are too naive." Lu Yu shook his head lightly, and then looked at Zhuge Jun. "In troubled times, everyone does not represent themselves, but represents their own family."

"In the past, why did Zhou Yu meet Sun Ce? It was rumored that the two had known each other since they were young, and they hit it off right away. Hehe, they were all lying to children. During the Lujiang period... Zhou Yu took the initiative to visit Sun Ce. To be precise, it was Sun Ce. Visiting Sun Jian."

"Sun Jian? A visit?" Zhuge Jun felt... Lu Yu's words subverted his cognition.

"That's right, we have known each other since we were young and hit it off at first sight. They are all deceiving children. We are all adults. There is no such thing as old friends at first sight in this world. Zhou Yu visited Sun Jian because Zhou Yu's family asked him to visit. Great family, the family had two Sangongs and one Shangshu Ling. It is reasonable to say that this kind of family would look down on Sun Jian's background, but... Sun Jian in Lujiang was Yuan Shu's general. In fact... Zhou Yu visited Sun Jian. The family is giving Yuan Shu face, and the Zhou family sponsoring the Sun family is actually giving Yuan Shu face."

"It's just that when Yuan Shu proclaimed himself emperor, it was impossible for a family like the Zhou family to cling to a usurper, so they supported the Sun family in Jiangdong as the next best thing."

Lu Yu talked eloquently...

In fact, in the previous life, I read a lot of Three Kingdoms, and whenever I saw Zhou Yu, I would feel very contradictory, have many objections, and many doubts.

But looking through the official history, Lu Yu found... In history, Zhang Zhao was the only important minister Sun Ce entrusted to Gu before his death, without Zhou Yu.

After the Battle of Chibi, Zhou Yu mobilized troops and horses in Nanjun to plot Yizhou, and never returned to Jiangdong.

All kinds of signs allowed Lu Yu to understand Zhou Yu more accurately...

This is by no means a simple person, he is very smart, very wise, and at the same time... the whole person is also very complicated.

"Then...according to what the master said, Zhou Yu may not be loyal to the Sun family?"

"That's right!" Lu Yu was quite sure, this is the conclusion he came to after thinking so much... "Of course, this is only based on a theoretical analysis, and I'm not sure, but it's okay... to send someone to test it out He, try to see if this Zhou Yu is someone we can fight for?"

hiss…

Hearing this, Zhuge Jun knocked on his forehead, as if he suddenly thought of something. "Master, yesterday...the King of Wei sent Jiang Gan to Jiangdong, it seems...to test Zhou Yu."

"Ha ha…"

Hearing this, Lu Yu laughed directly. "What is Jiang doing? That's a trap... let him go, or go so aboveboard, Zhou Yu just wants to escape from Jiangdong, how can he say it?"

Thinking about this...

Lu Yu blinked his eyes, but he has a candidate, let him lurk in Jiangdong, not sure... Can ask the most real Qilin Zhou Gongjin!

——Do you really want to escape from Jiangdong?

...

...

The market in Wu County is very lively, and it is worthy of being called the land of fish and rice.

There are many fish sellers, rice sellers, and silk jewelry sellers carrying burdens, and the crowds are so busy that it is very lively and a scene of prosperity.

Both Zhuge Mengxue and Zhuge Ruolan were dressed in casual clothes, sitting in front of a stall selling fish sticks. Zhuge Ruolan's husband, Pang Shanmin, brought them bowls of fish sticks as thin as cicada's wings.

The stall owner is still bragging about how delicious his fish cakes are?
But... the faces of the people at the table were all extremely solemn.

As for the reason, sitting opposite Zhuge Mengxue and Zhuge Ruolan was their younger brother Zhuge Kongming.

Just half a day ago, he fought against the Confucians, and the literati in Jiangdong blushed, but Lu Xun stood up and supported the fight against Cao... that surprised him the most.

Of course, not only Zhuge Liang was surprised, but Zhou Yu was also surprised.

As the leader of the Huaisi Conquest Faction, it is reasonable for him to unite with Liu to fight against Cao, but... Lu Xun, as the head of the eight major families, is a proper local clan, so there is no need for him to fight against Cao?

Obviously... from his standpoint, neither the Sun family nor the Great Wei can actually affect the interests of the Lu family.

This... makes Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu puzzled.

But... Lu Xun's support turned the entire "main battle" and "main peace" court discussion situation completely upside down, and Lu Su, whom Sun Quan trusted the most, said a few words in his and Sun Yi's ears.

finally…

Sun Quan and Sun Yi drew their swords at the same time, and each cut off a corner of the table case.

The brothers shouted that sentence in unison.

"Unite Liu against Cao, and if there are any objections, it will be like this case!"

However, when the two proposed to let Lu Xun be the commander, Lu Xun took the initiative to give up this responsibility to Zhou Yu.

There are good reasons.

The Shanyue soldiers in Lu Xun's hands are stronger in land warfare, and when it comes to water warfare... it has to be Zhou Yu's Poyang Lake navy.

Total unexpected blessings...

Zhou Yu became the commander of the navy as he wished, leading the anti-Cao affairs. Although the Lu family did not provide military support, the food, grass and supplies were issued a military order to ensure that there is no harm!
These made Sun Quan and Sun Yi quite gratified...

I feel that the Lu family knows the general situation and cares about the overall situation!

certainly…

Walking out of the court meeting, Zhuge Liang originally planned to go back to the post house to think carefully about today's events.

But... as soon as he left the house, he was told that two sisters and a brother-in-law had come to Jiangdong to look for him...

Zhuge Liang didn't dare to slack off, and immediately rushed to the market in Wu County.

but…

Judging from the expressions of several people, it seems that the chat was not pleasant.

"Kong Ming, do you really want to confront Nanshouhou? Brother Jun is his disciple!"

Zhuge Mengxue is still asking...

Zhuge Liang's eyes were determined. "What a 'Nan Shou', Baima Hou has become 'Nan Shou' Hou? If I can't fight him once on the water, then I'm afraid I will regret it for the rest of my life."

"But..." Zhuge Ruolan also opened his mouth and said, "Leaving aside Wei Wang and Jiangdong Sun's family, as well as your Mr. Liu Shijun, are you and Brother Jun brother-in-law?"

"What's more, how many soldiers are there in the Great Wei? With a man like Nanshou Hou who counts as an inexhaustible strategy, and an army as victorious as Long Xiaoying, Kong Ming...you...what are you obsessed with? You came back...we can go back to our hometown in Langya County, An'an Where do you live your life?"

Before Zhuge Ruolan could finish speaking.

Zhuge Mengxue's voice rose again. "Kong Ming, you are not Nanshouhou's opponent, he... he is too powerful."

"My sister is in Jingzhou, and I don't know what happened in Jingzhou, but... Xiangyang City has lost its owner. I heard that these are the plots of Nanshouhou. Wei Yitong is God's will, do you have to be an enemy of God?"

Zhuge Liang's two sisters were already a little emotional.

On the other hand, Zhuge Liang, with a calm and relaxed look, please wave his feather fan: "Why didn't you foolish brother watch the sky at night? Knowing the sky is easy, going against the sky is difficult, let's continue the national destiny of the great Han... Han and traitors are not independent, and there is no partiality in life." ...has drifted away."

"However, since I made such a choice, Mr. Liu also has the kindness of three cares for me. How could he surrender without a fight? Two sisters, let Kong Ming be self-willed once, and let me give it a go. Deduce the changing situation of the world with Nanshou Hou, and spend his whole life, even if he cannot escape defeat in the end, Kong Ming will have no regrets."

"What's more, Kong Ming also wants to compete with Brother Jun again, to see how far the younger brother who used to chase after me to ask questions and ask me for advice has grown up now! This is the glory of my Zhuge family! !"

"Whether I win or younger brother Jun wins, the two elder sisters... our Zhuge family in Langya is already invincible in this troubled world! Isn't this what Kong Ming planned when Langya parted in the past? At least...then This plan made the Zhuge family undefeated today! Perhaps... that day will be my Zhuge Liang's highlight moment?"
