Peek at my diary, Cao Cao dominates the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 357 Planning Jiangdong, what a game of chess!
There are many gentry families in Jiangdong, especially the four families of Lu, Zhu, Zhang, and Gu, who are called the four surnames of Jiangdong.

Back then, when Sun Ce was still working under Yuan Shu,
Yuan Shu once promised him that if Sun Ce could capture Lujiang City, Sun Ce would be the prefect of Lujiang.

Sun Ce, who had just stepped into the society, encountered a huge pie drawn by his boss.

At that time, it was Lu Kang, the patriarch of the Lu family in Jiangdong, who was guarding Lujiang City, and the high-spirited Sun Ce began to fight with Lu Kang, the prefect of Lujiang.

It's just that Sun Ce, who had just debuted, was not going well. He was blocked by Lu Kang outside Lujiang City for two full years.

At that time, Sun Ce was advocating bloody suppression by force. Coupled with the anger of being blocked for two years, after breaking through Lujiang, Sun Ce not only killed Lu Kang, the prefect of Lujiang, but also almost slaughtered the Lu family who fought side by side with Lu Kang.

Since then, the Lu family and Sun Ce have formed a deadly feud that is difficult to resolve.And because of this great change, the Lu family began to decline.

The Lu family surviving in Wu County is no longer as good as it used to be in terms of prestige and strength. The formerly bustling family is now empty, and the position of the Lu family among the four major families in Jiangdong is about to be replaced by the Yu family.

But fortunately, Lu Kang sent his son Lu Ji and his nephew Lu Xun back to his hometown in Wu County to escape before the city of Lujiang was destroyed, which prevented the Lu family from completely losing hope.

When Lu Kang was killed, Lu Ji was only seven years old.

But Lu Xun, who is a few years older than Lu Kang's son Lu Ji, is now the head of the Lu family.

Lu Xun was only over ten years old at this time, and being able to become Lu Kang's "Guangji door", it can be seen that Lu Xun's talent is very valued by Lu Kang.

Naturally, Lu Xun did not disappoint Lu Kang. Under his leadership, the Lu family will gradually get out of the trough in the future, and then will usher in their own bright moment again.

However, these are all traces in history. The Lu family is now at an absolute trough, and Lu Xun's heart is full of hatred towards Sun Ce and Zhou Yu after his family was destroyed.

Not long ago, about a month or so ago, a woman who claimed to be able to help him deal with the Sun family appeared.

Her name is Zhao Xue, and she didn't disclose where she came from, but many people including Lu Xun secretly speculated that they came from the Central Plains, the Cao family.

Zhao Xue has a lot of intelligence and network resources in her hands, and it seems that she can really help Lu Xun avenge the Sun family.But Lu Xun didn't fully trust Zhao Xue, he didn't dare to put everything about the Lu family on his own whim.

Lu Xun has been in a state of uncertainty recently.

Just today, when Lu Xun had just walked out of the study and was about to relax in the yard, a man who had followed Zhao Xue back then appeared.

Lu Xun didn't know how this person appeared in his yard, but the other party didn't have any malicious intentions and just came to ask Lu Xun what he thought.

"Patriarch Lu, what do you think about the leader?" Ding Si asked Lu Xun with a smile while leaning on the pillars of the corridor.

For Lu Xun, Ding Si had some admiration in his heart.

This young man who has shouldered the burden of the family at a young age not only has a straight waist, but also rarely has the arrogance and frizz of young people, and is extremely calm.It is precisely because of Lu Xun's calmness that the Lu family quickly found a backbone. It is not impossible for the Lu family to prosper again in time.

Or maybe the hardships of life have tempered Lu Xun, making him have to mature too much in advance. Mature, it makes people feel distressed.

"Brother." Before Lu Xun could reply, Lu Ji's timid voice suddenly came from beside him.

In the study room, a child about nine years old walked out. It was Lu Kang's son and Lu Xun's younger brother, Lu Ji.

Lu Xun turned his head back, gave Lu Ji a gentle smile and said, "It's okay, brother is just discussing something with uncle, you go back to your room to read books first, and I'll come back to test your homework later."

"Brother, be careful." After Lu Ji finished speaking, he turned and walked towards his room.

"Uncle Ding, you have also seen that our Lu family is now." Speaking of this, Lu Xun shook his head with a wry smile.

How can a family that needs teenage children to support the facade play a role in bringing down the Sun family?

Lu Xun felt a little powerless.

However, Zhao Xue had obviously considered this point a long time ago. What he valued was actually the prestige of the Lu family.

After talking with Liu Ye, Zhao Xue finally completed her plan in Jiangdong.

In the battle of Lujiang, Zhao Xue was sure to contain and severely injure Sun Ce.

When Sun Ce was restrained in Lujiang, there was a sudden riot in the rear, and the defenders staying in Jiangdong must have no spare power to deal with it.

Even if Sun Ce could return to Jiangdong, the more than [-] Jiangdong soldiers he brought out may not be able to return.

As a result, Jiangdong suffered heavy losses and its troops were empty, and the opposition forces could take this opportunity to occupy and control some counties and counties.

As for Zhao Xue, she doesn't need the Lu family to contribute manpower and financial resources, she just needs the Lu family and other families who oppose the Sun family to help appease the place, appease the people, and maintain normal operations.

Lu Yan can produce people, but more importantly, the reputation of the Lu family in the hearts of other aristocratic families and the people can help the opposition forces stabilize the situation faster.

If all goes well, even if Sun Ce returns to Jiangdong in a hurry, he will not have extra troops to attack the opposition forces.

We can only watch helplessly as these opposition forces take control of one side and become bigger and bigger.

The longer the delay, the worse it would be for Sun Ce.

And Zhao Xue only needs the opposition forces to contain Sun Ce for a year or two, and when the duel between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao produces results, then the mission of these opposition forces will be considered completed.

If Cao Cao wins, he will surely go straight to the south of the Yangtze River with a great victory, and this group of people will also usher in their own harvest time.

If Cao Cao is defeated, they will also earn the capital to negotiate with Sun Ce, and they can use this to find a good future for themselves.Moreover, Sun Ce wants to firmly control Jiangdong and completely change his bad image of tyranny and bloodthirsty in the hearts of Jiangdong scholars. Surrendering and treating these opposing forces well is the best way to prove his change.

So in any case, as long as these opposition forces can persist until the end of the Cao Yuan War, they will already be invincible.

Zhao Xue explained her plan clearly to Lu Xun and other aristocratic families, and also received the support of many small and medium-sized aristocratic families.

After all, they don't need to fight to the death with Sun Ce, they only need to occupy one side to contain Sun Ce, so that they can vent their anger; and they can also reap the greatest benefits for themselves. This is a sure-fire deal no matter how you look at it!
The only one who still has some hesitation is the Lu family, which is known as the four major families in Jiangdong, but its name is already somewhat inaccurate.

Regardless of whether it was due to the development of the family or the hatred of Sun Ce, Lu Xun wanted to cooperate with Zhao Xue very much.

However, it was difficult for Lu Xun to judge whether the situation Zhao Xue mentioned would happen. After all, he was still worried that before the opposition forces could gain a firm foothold, Sun Ce raised his butcher knife at them again.

The Lu family could no longer stand the second massacre.

Ding Si obviously knew what Lu Xun was worried about, so he said with a smile: "Patriarch Lu, how about inviting me in for a cup of tea?"

Hearing this, Lu Xun knew that Ding Si must have a secret to tell him, so he made a gesture of invitation and said, "I didn't prepare tea in a hurry, but there is a jar of good wine from Chen Liu in my house. Enjoy!"

When Ding Si heard the words, his eyes lit up suddenly, and then his expression returned to normal, and he said: "Then Ding is more respectful than obedient!"

The fleeting change in Ding Si's eyes was keenly captured by Lu Xun.

There is indeed good wine from Chen Liu in Lu Xun's house, but he deliberately told the news that the good wine came from Chen Liu.

Catching the expression in Ding Si's eyes, Lu Xun's face remained unchanged, but he had already realized a lot in his heart, "When he heard the word Chen Liu, there were obvious emotional ups and downs in his eyes. Sure enough, they are Cao Cao's people!"
