Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 360

Lu Xun was born in a prominent family. Since the early Eastern Han Dynasty, the Lu family had been well-known in Jiangdong. He lost his father when he was young, so he was fostered in the home of his ancestor Lu Kang. He is also the patriarch of the Lu family.

In the first year of Xingping, Liu Bei replaced the deceased Tao Qian as Xuzhou pastor. After Yuan Shu failed in Nanyang, he occupied Huainan. Considering that Liu Bei's political stance was inclined to Yuan Shao, he planned to send troops to attack Xuzhou and asked Lu Kang for military supplies.

After Lu Kang rejected Yuan Shu's request, Yuan Shu ordered Sun Ce to lead his troops to attack Lujiang.

At that time, Sun Ce followed Sun Jian's former troops and served under his tent. The battle lasted for more than a year and Lujiang was captured. Hundreds of Lu family members died in the flames of war.

Before the Lujiang War broke out, Lu Kang sent his youngest sons Lu Ji and Lu Xun back to Wu County to avoid disaster, which allowed the blood of the Lu family to continue.

Although Lu Ji was Lu Xun's stepfather, he was a few years younger than Lu Xun, and the young Lu Xun became the new patriarch of the Lu family.

Although the tragedy of the Lu family was ordered by Yuan Shu, the executor was Sun Ce, a bully.

When Sun Ce collected Jiangdong, he used force and killing. Later, he also planted the root of disaster and left the field hastily. Before he died, he examined himself and did not choose Sun Yi, who had the same personality as himself, but Sun Quan, who had a more restrained personality.

As an outsider, the Sun family has an unstable foundation in Jiangdong. The local rich family holds a large number of tenants. These people farm in peacetime and serve as soldiers in wartime.

After Sun Quan succeeded to the throne, he summed up the experience of Sun Ce's assassination and death, changed Sun Ce's simple and rude killing policy, and began to win over local famous families.

Lu Xun shouldered the important task of revitalizing the family since he was a child, and developed a calm, introverted and strong-tolerant character. He joined Sun Quan's shogunate at this time for the benefit of the family.

The Jiangdong gentry and the Huaisi faction have always been at odds. Sun Quan slowly practiced and explored a set of balancing techniques. He has been wary of Lu Xun, a young patriarch, and dare not reuse it. Even if he reuses his father Lu Ji, who is younger than Lu Xun Give Lu Xun more opportunities.

After Sun Quan agreed to Gu Yong's recommendation, the civil and military personnel in the hall left one after another, but the veteran Zhang Zhao knelt on the ground, like an old monk who had entered meditation.

In Sun Quan's law of balance, Huaisi military generals are in charge of military power, and Jiangdong gentry are in charge of internal affairs. Now Gu Yong recommended Lu Xun across borders, which made him unhappy. In order to eliminate the failure of Changsha and Jiaozhou as soon as possible, Sun Quan had to temporarily submit The Jiangdong gentry compromised.

After the civil and military personnel in the palace left, Sun Quan came back to his senses and found that Zhang Zhao was still there, so he called out curiously, "Is Zibu alright?"

Zhang Zhao said with a smile: "Lu Boyan is quite talented. If my lord cultivates him carefully, he must be my pillar of Jiangdong."

"Actually, He Gongmiao (He Qi) alone is enough to beg for the mountain, why didn't Zibu say a word just now?" Sun Quan turned his head and frowned, scolding the old fox in his heart, how can you not know my concerns?It is clear that relying on the old and selling the old to see my jokes.

Zhang Zhao arched his hands and said: "Jiangdong went all out this time, but instead of achieving their goal, Jiaozhou was lost. Originally they wanted to recommend Lu Gongji (Lu Ji) as the prefect of Cangwu, but they didn't want Lord Qiankun to decide on Lu Ziheng (Lu Fan) alone. No wonder Yuan sighed. They'll be upset."

Sun Quan suddenly realized that when Lu Fan failed to bribe Lantian, he was questioned by Yu Fan, the representative of the gentry, and now he was driven out of Jiaozhou.

"Why does Zibu teach me?" Sun Quan asked sincerely after finding out the reason.

Zhang Zhao stroked his mottled beard: "Cangwu was attacked brazenly by Lai Gong, because there was Owl (Lan Tian) behind him secretly supporting him, so he couldn't get it back for the time being, but Shi Hui actually had the guts to poison Wei Ziqi, my lord must give If we fight back forcefully, Nanhai County must not give up lightly, otherwise Jiaozhou will have nothing to do with us."

"But according to Wei Bo who escaped back, it was Ziqi (Wei Jing) who poisoned the soldiers and Wu first, and we seem to have no reason." Sun Quan shook his head.

Zhang Zhao: "What reason do we have to deal with the scholars in Jiaozhou? Just be careful that the scholars fall to Liu Bei, after all, the owl (Lantian) is too trapped in the camp."

Sun Quan picked up his purple beard and said, "Let Gong Miao (He Qi) pacify Poyang Mountain and go south to Jiaozhou with his troops, I don't believe that Shi Xie can still sit still, but what about the owl (Lan Tian)? It is really hateful for this person to spoil me again and again."

Zhang Zhao frowned: "If we really can't beat him, we can only find a way to transfer him away. I heard that the trapped camp is only loyal to Owl (Lan Tian). Isn't Liu Xuande a little suspicious? Why don't you think of a way to separate one or two, my lord?"

Sun Quan was shocked when he heard this, would Liu Bei feel the same as before?Although Zhou Yu was also holding a heavy army at that time, he still obeyed his own command in name. I don't believe that Liu Bei can bear it so much when Owl (Lan Tian) is trapped in the camp.

"Since Zibu has found out the crux, why don't you try to explain it?" Sun Quan told Zhang Zhao to talk about it, the old guy obviously already had a draft.

Sure enough, Zhang Zhao was ready. He got up and looked at Sun Quan and said slowly: "Owl (Lan Tian) is Liu Xuande's wife and brother. It is very difficult to frame him for rebellion now, but he has a high meritorious service and a heavy army. I believe there is no lord. No suspicion, just send people to Chengdu to spread rumors"

Sun Quan shook his head: "Liu Xuande is assisted by Wolong and Fengchu, so mere rumors may not be useful."

"Spreading rumors is of course not very effective, but if Zhuge Ziyu (Zhuge Jin) is asked to write to Kong Ming, saying that Owl (Lan Tian) has a deep grudge with the lord, and if he is allowed to stay in Jingzhou, it will not be good for the alliance. Both Kong Ming and Zijing will do their best. Because of the alliance between Sun and Liu, Liu Xuande will inevitably be persuaded to transfer the owl to Yizhou." Zhang Zhao suggested.

Sun Quan was overwhelmed when he heard it, "Zibu's plan is great. I think Jiang is still old and spicy. As long as the owl (Lantian) is transferred to Shu by Liu Xuande, the trapped camp will also leave. In the future, no matter whether it is Jiaozhou or Jingzhou has one more chance of winning."

Zhang Zhao sighed: "It's because this owl hides too deeply. If we had shown our strength earlier, we wouldn't be so passive. Maybe Cheng Gong wouldn't have passed away."

Sun Quan nodded in agreement, "This man is insidious and cunning, that's why Cheng Gong called him the Owl. I'll call Ziyu (Zhuge Jin) here."

Zhuge Jin wrote a letter in front of Sun Quan and Zhang Zhao. In the letter, he sincerely expressed Jiang Dong's appeal, hoping that Zhuge Liang would persuade Liu Bei to put the overall situation first for the sake of the alliance.

Zhuge Jin sent his retainers to take gifts to enter Shu by light boat. It was already the middle of May when they arrived in Chengdu, and the family members escorted by Zhao Yun to Jingzhou arrived just ahead.

Liu Bei was negotiating with Pang Tong, Fazheng and others on rewards according to the letter of meritorious service sent by Guan Yu, when Zhuge Liang walked over smiling with Zhuge Jin's letter.

"What happy event happened to Kong Ming?" Pang Tong asked suspiciously.

Zhuge Liang: "You guess."
