Three Kingdoms Simulator: This Ma Su is too stable

Chapter 261 Yang Wanwan: I Didn't Do This

After Ma Di defeated Lv Dai, relying on the huge reputation accumulated by the scholar family in Jiaozhou for decades, he passed the call to Jiaozhou.

The news spread to Jianye, the capital of Wu State, as quickly as possible.

East Palace.

All civil and military officials looked solemn.

"Three scholars rebelled, and Jiaozhou fell. Can you have a good plan to share the worries?"

There was no sound in the hall.

Sun Quan looked around at the ministers, his brows wrinkled into eighteen folds.

After a while, he walked away.

在他接掌江东这32年间，经历过“曹操80万大军屯兵南下赤壁”、“刘备70万大军东进欲夷陵”、“曹丕20万大军三路攻吴”、“曹叡20万大军三路攻吴”等诸多比今天更严峻十倍的局面，最终都被他一一化险为夷。

But today, the attitude of civil and military officials, or the attitude of the children of the aristocratic family, made Sun Quan feel a chill down his back for no reason.

The current problems Soochow is facing are not only the Jiaozhou change, but also the teasing from Wei Liaodong prefect Gongsun Yuan.

Originally, in February, Gongsun Yuan sent envoys to profess his ministers to Soochow.

This was originally a good thing. Wei and Wu have secretly competed for Liaodong for a long time, and each of them made frequent moves.

In order to win over Gongsun Yuan, Sun Quan paid a huge amount of money, a lot of supplies and beautiful women, and finally Gongsun Yuan made up his mind to join Wu.

But the Liaodong envoy had just arrived in Jianye, and when he heard the news that Jiaozhou had changed hands, he left by boat overnight.

Even the procedures of meeting with ministers and giving gifts are omitted.

This made Sun Quan furious for a while, wishing he could immediately mobilize the navy, flatten Liaodong, and rub the capricious Gongsun Yuan on the ground a hundred times.

But this idea can only be thought about.Liaodong is located in a remote place, out of reach, and Soochow is facing internal and external troubles. Sun Quan understands that he has nothing to do with Gongsun Yuan.

Frankly speaking, Sun Quan would not be so worried if he just lost a Jiaozhou with little strategic value.

What worries him is the rebellion from the Lu family.

Before finding out whether Lu Xun was involved in this matter, it is impossible for Sun Quan to entrust Lu Xun with reuse.

Soochow lost the entire eleven counties of Jiaozhou, the attachment of Gongsun Yuan, and the most capable commander, Lu Xun, in a short period of time.

This is no longer self-mutilation.

This is self-amputation of a thigh.

Sun Quan couldn't imagine Lu Xun standing on the opposite side, just like he couldn't imagine losing his father Sun Jian when he was nine years old, couldn't imagine losing his eldest brother Sun Ce when he was 27 years old, couldn't imagine losing his right-hand man Zhou Yu at the age of 36, and couldn't imagine losing his minister Lu Su at the age of 63. , He also can't imagine that he will lose Lu Xun at the age of [-] in the future.

When Sun Quan first learned that the Lu family had switched to the "Shisan", many emotions such as shock, astonishment, bewilderment, and confusion surged up, and he couldn't sleep at night, burning with worry.

The Lu family is deeply rooted in Jiangdong, and there are many talents. There are no less than ten people who are officials in the court.

With the huge size of the Lu family, the attitude of the children of the family is enough to affect other aristocratic families.

How did things get to this point?
Sun Quan was a little confused.

More than a month ago, he was still indifferent to the Jiaozhou Rebellion, and scoffed at Lu Kai's transfer to "Shisan", thinking that Lu Kai would definitely be punished for this stupid decision.

But after Jiaozhou changed ownership in an instant, Sun Quan has realized that it is not easy.

Sun Quan knew all the information about the descendants of the Shi family, and there was no Shi San among them.

Immediately after drawing this inference, Sun Quan realized that Jiaozhou could be recovered later, and the most important thing now was to find out the identity of the "San San" and stabilize the situation.

Therefore, he quickly sent a fast horse to recall the [-] troops who went to rescue Jiaozhou, and sent intermediaries to Guiping, Chengdu, and Luoyang to collect news about Shi San.

Being calm in times of danger has always been a good quality in his character.

After the Battle of Yiling in the past, facing the pressure of Cao Pi's three-way army, when the war was imminent, Sun Quan still "sent a letter of humility"; Still maintaining a relationship with Cao Wei, until the relationship between Wu and Shu warmed up later, Cao Pi imprisoned Feng Xi, the envoy of Wu, and Sun Quan completely severed the connection with Cao Wei, and finally successfully resolved the crisis.

Sun Quan's strategy has always been to seek self-protection first, and then seek expansion. If there is no particularly good opportunity to take advantage, even if Soochow's strength is stronger than that of its opponents or allies, he will try to lower his posture as much as possible.

It can be said that among the Three Kingdoms, only Soochow has always had allies, sometimes the ally is Shu, and sometimes the ally is Wei.Therefore, Soochow was able to grow gradually. From the time when he took over, there were only six counties in Jiangdong, and now it has three continents.

This has always been the source of Sun Quan's self-confidence.

But now, the land of three continents has suddenly become two states, and the situation has suddenly become severe.

Sun Quan did not allow himself to be immersed in the pessimistic mood of "Lu Kai's rebellion" for too long.This matter is regrettable and disappointing, but it should not be messed up.

According to the current information, although Lu Kai has already voted for "Shi San", Lu Xun seems not to know about it and did not participate in this matter.In other words, there is still room for redemption.

In view of this, Sun Quan decided to maintain the highest degree of patience with Lu Xun and not force him to go to the opposite side.

……

Jiaozhou, Guiping City, Yulin County.

After taking full control of Jiaozhou, the affairs suddenly became more complicated. Every day, officials from various counties and counties came to see him, submit household registration and official information, report the situation, and get closer to the people in Xinjiaozhou.

Ma Di and Lu Kai have been busy from the first day of March to the middle of March. Only then can they meet all the officials from the other ten counties except Rinan County, give each of them a few words of encouragement, and promise that as long as they pay their taxes on time , all subordinate positions at the county level are arranged by the county guards themselves, and he will never intervene.

Lu Kai slapped the table with a slap, and said angrily: "The officials of Nanjun are so stubborn today, trying to resist Tianwei in vain, they must not be spared lightly!"

"I want to send [-] troops immediately to attack Nichinan. I don't know what my brother-in-law wants?"

After taking Jiaozhou, Lu Kai was appointed as the governor, in charge of all affairs in Jiaozhou.Therefore, he is very concerned about government affairs.

Especially after Ma Di revealed the intention of "land and horses, sharing the world", Lu Kai became more concerned, and completely managed the eleven counties of Jiaozhou as his own territory.

However, in order to show fairness, and to let his sister rest for a while, Lu Kai insisted on dragging Ma Di to work in the office for half a month, and did not let the brother-in-law go home.

After half a month, Ma Su was exhausted,

Seeing Lu Kai's question, he nodded with a sad face, rubbed his waist and said, "Just do what your brother wants."

After all, he got up and wanted to run away.

But he was grabbed by Lu Kai, and asked with a serious face: "What about He Hong, how does my brother-in-law plan to deal with it?"

Ma Di thought for a while, "Killing people is nothing more than a nod. For the sake of his great achievements this time, he was tied up and let his family go."

"That's fine." Lu Kai nodded.

People like He Hong, who can betray the first time, can betray the second time.According to Lu Kai's thinking, it must be a one-shot, one-off.

But Ma Di couldn't do this kind of thing like chopping him up with his backhand after using it, but he couldn't keep him by his side, so he just let him go.

Anyway, it is impossible for He Hong to return to the state of Wu. If he wants to eat the food of the army, he has no choice but to go to Shu.

After Ma Di left, Tao Ji, the prefect of Nanhai, brought his three sons and the Nanhai household register to Guanshu.
The guard briefly checked Tao Ji's seal, then let him in, and told him that Lu Kai was working in the left wing.

Holding the large stack of household registers, Tao Ji walked to the left wing room, knocked on the door, and heard "Come in."

Only then did he push the door open and enter.

"Master Inspector, this is the household register of Nanhai County."

Tao Ji put down the roster, cupped his hands and said with emotion: "Brother Jingfeng, after a long absence, I never thought that when we meet again, you will already be the governor of Jiaozhou, and I will still be the prefect of Nantai. Life is really unpredictable."

"Brother Uncle, please sit down, please sit down." Lu Kai enthusiastically returned the salute, and the two exchanged arms.

"I think back in the past, my brother and I were in the Marquis of Wu... Oh no, it seems like it was just yesterday that we worked together under the command of Emperor Wu and Sun Quan. I don't want to be together as a minister today." Lu Kai also said with emotion, and glanced behind Tao Ji The three young men said in surprise, "These three are your sons, right?"

"It's the next three incompetent dogs, Tao Huang, Tao Jun, and Tao Kang."

The three young men hurriedly walked over and bowed their hands to salute. Lu Kai accepted it calmly, and said with a smile, "Brother Uncle, I'm afraid he didn't come here specially to deliver the household registration register? As long as this kind of thing is left to those clerks or servants to do it. All right."

Tao Ji smiled embarrassingly: "The three sons are all grown up and idle around all day long, so I want to ask Brother Jingfeng to find them an errand in Fucheng, so that they can listen to the gentleman's teachings sooner or later."

Lu Kai looked at Tao Ji with a smile: "It's easy to say, easy to say!"

The two old acquaintances smiled at each other.

it is more than words.

The Tao family is also one of the Jiangdong aristocratic families. Although it is not as big as the Lu family, it is still a medium-sized family.

Unlike Ma Di who doesn't like to use the children of aristocratic families, Lu Kai, who was born in an aristocratic family, is well aware of the power of the aristocratic family, and this kind of operation of arranging errands to bring them closer is unavoidable.

Usually, if a son of a rich family is really talented, he will be reused 100% of the time;

This move will not cost much money in the treasury, but it will bring the various families and rulers closer together.Then the class relationship of "the ruler manages the family and the family manages the people" is formed.

This is the current social form of Soochow.

At first, Ma Su wanted to bloodbath the family and plow Jiaozhou from head to toe.

After Lu Kai learned of this plan, he immediately stopped Ma Di's reckless behavior.

Because even if the aristocratic family is eliminated, it is impossible for Ma Di to control Jiaozhou more deeply, and even face the risk of losing control.

There is no other reason. In this era, most ordinary people are illiterate, but all the children of aristocratic families are literate.If there is no family, who will manage the scattered people?
Rely on the people to manage themselves?
That would definitely mess things up.

It was after that debate, that Ma Di changed his mind and left all the affairs of Jiaozhou to Lu Kai.

Concentrating his thoughts, Lu Kai looked at the three young people separately, tested their talents one by one, and then closed his eyes and meditated.

Thinking about what positions to assign to these three mediocre juniors.

.........

On the second floor of the largest "Nanguo Winery" in Guiping City, Huang Xi, Li Sheng, Zhang Xiu, and Yang Wanwan sat opposite each other and sighed in unison as they looked at the busy street downstairs.

The previous war outside the city of Guiping did not cause any losses to the people in the city. On the contrary, because two families were knocked out one after another, many unowned properties and fields were vacated, and more people benefited from it and lived a good life. .

So their enthusiasm was high, and they walked around the Fucheng with the mentality of watching the excitement, expecting the new governor to kill more big families, so the streets were much more lively than usual.

Yang Wanwan drank a glass of wine and asked with a puzzled face, "Old Huang, why are you sighing?"

Huang Xi sighed again: "Why else? I have accumulated private money for several years, but I don't know that it was stolen by that rat, and I am so angry!"

"I really didn't expect that such a simple and honest person on weekdays would be this kind of person!"

As he spoke, he glanced at Zhang Xiu.

Everyone said "Oh" and turned their attention to Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu blushed and argued: "Didn't I see that you were about to be punished, so I kept it for you?"

Huang Xi's eyes widened: "What about my money?"

Zhang Xiu was suddenly depressed: "I don't know which traitor got it away."

As he spoke, he glanced at Li Sheng.

Everyone turned their attention to Li Sheng again.

At that time, there were only six people with positions above general in the cottage (only those above general were allowed to walk in and out of the cottage at will), namely Ma Di, Axiu, Yang Wanwan, Huang Xi, Li Sheng, and Zhang Xiu.

Naturally, Ma Di and Axiu would not covet their meager savings, and the buried money disappeared, so the scope of suspicious characters was very small.

Either the young man Yang Wanwan, or the old cunning Li Sheng.

Li Sheng also sighed, and said truthfully: "It is true that I took the money, but when I went back to look at it later, it was gone."

Hearing this, everyone looked at him suspiciously.

Li Sheng was in a hurry.

"Brothers, trust me, I really didn't take it all alone! I was just joking with you..."

Everyone cut up.

just kidding?
Just kidding, do you need to dig out the money from the front mountain and bury it in the back mountain?
What a fool!

Seeing that everyone didn't believe it, Li Sheng looked depressed. The problem is that the money really disappeared.

If he really pocketed such a large sum of money, he wouldn't be able to afford these few meals, and Yang Wanwan would have to pay for each meal.

Ok?Yang Wanwan paid?
Where did he get the money from?
A meal in this restaurant is not cheap.

While thinking about it, Li Sheng sipped his mulled wine. After a few glasses of wine, his mind suddenly became sober.

The tacit understanding developed over the years made the three of them look at each other, looked at Yang Wanwan together, and asked in unison:
"Where did you get the money?"

Yang Wanwan shrank his neck and said weakly, "What do you see me doing?"
