Three Kingdoms: The Guan Family's Rebellious Son, Long Blessing Jing Xiang

Chapter 218 Jiangdong secret history, swan geese fly south, geese leave traces
Under the blowing of the cold night wind in winter, the only yellow leaves left on the branches also fell.

The remaining bare branches tremble in the north wind.

Lu Xun's mood was like this bare branch, full of melancholy, bewildered, and hesitant.

"How come?" Sun Ru asked.

Lu Xun let out a sigh of "ah", he opened his mouth, but found... there was no way to talk about it.

What would he say?

If it is said that under the current situation, his wife Sun Ru, Lu Xun's wife, arrived in Jiaozhou secretly, it would only arouse Sun Quan's suspicion.

Then, if it is about the "Hongyan" group and the truth about Sun Ce's "assassination", this is a rebellion, a heavy and deep rebellion.

As long as Sun Quan is still the lord of Soochow Wu for one day, whoever touches this "Ni Lin" will die!
"Ma'am, tell me, when did the news about the 'swan goose' come out in Cangwu, Jiaozhou? When did the news about the investigation of the father-in-law's truth come out?"

Lu Xun asked meticulously.

Sun Ru bit her lips slightly, "It seems...it seems that there has been such a faint news all these years, through envoys and merchants in Jiaozhou...it will be spread faintly, but...because it is Jiaozhou and the territory of the Shibian family, so...I just want to The investigation also..."

"You should have told me earlier!" Lu Xun suddenly felt dizzy...

He seemed to see the miserable appearance of the Lu family in the not-too-distant future when Sun Quan suppressed the Lu family.

"There is another kind of rumor..." Sun Ru continued: "The rumor said... that my mother Qiao Liang and younger brother Sun Shao were also imprisoned in Jiaozhou by my uncle, but... I don't know if it is Cangwu County!"

what…

The more Lu Xun listened, the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and the more he listened, the more shocking he became.

Qiao Liang is Da Qiao's boudoir name, Lu Xun's mother-in-law. Lu Xun also thought that maybe Da Qiao and Sun Shao would be secretly hidden in Jiaozhou by Sun Quan, so that they would not be able to threaten his rule if they were far away from Soochow.

as...

The fourth house of the Lu family, Lu Ji, was average. He nominally served as the prefect of Yulin in Jiaozhou, but in fact Jiaozhou was under the command of scholars. Lu Ji could do nothing but pick oranges in Yulin.

This is equivalent to driving them out of the political center and keeping them marginalized!
But now...

First, Sun Ru sneaked in secretly, then there was news of "Hongyan" from Cangwu County, and finally "Da Qiao and Sun Shao" were hidden in Jiaozhou.

Under this series of rumors...

Immediately, four big characters appeared on Lu Xun's face - catastrophe is imminent!
He felt that, following this development, when he conquered Jiaozhou, he would definitely die worse than Xu Kun, Zhou Yu, and Tai Shici.

"It's not good...it's bad!"

Lu Xun muttered...

Sun Ru saw Lu Xun's nervousness, and said hastily, "If... if it affects Boyan, then I will go back... I came here secretly, so I expected..."

"This Soochow, what can you hide from your uncle?" Lu Xun let out a long breath, "You still don't understand your 'uncle'... Now that you go back, you will be controlled and placed under house arrest immediately. If you force me to go back in this way, no matter if it is you, me, or the Lu family, it will be more dangerous..."

"Ah..." Sun Ru looked at Lu Xun in horror.

However, Lu Xun seemed to have made some kind of decision, and quickly shouted: "Come on!"

"The end is here!"

Several personal guards quickly entered the big tent.

Lu Xun immediately ordered, "Send someone to send a message to Marquis Wu, saying that Nanhai County and Cangwu County in Jiaozhou have been conquered, and Lu Xun's troops are limited. Please ask Marquis Wu to send prefects and troops to take over. On the day of taking over, Lu Xun will march west again...on behalf of Wu Hou seized the entire Jiaozhou!"

ah... ah...

Lu Xun's words startled the guards.

They looked at each other and thought... this is against the rules!
According to the rules of Soochow.

Whoever strikes down this land, the people on it will belong to him...

Shouldn't Cangwu and Nanhai belong to the Lu family?

There is no reason why they fought bloody battles, but in the end...but all the benefits belong to others.

"General..."

"Do as I say!" Before the guards questioned, Lu Xun raised his voice again, his tone sonorous and meticulous.

This…

The guards looked at each other again, and immediately handed over.

- "Here!"

Not long after, the guard withdrew.

Lu Xun took a long breath.

"Why is Boyan so?" Sun Ru pursed her lips and asked...

"If you don't, the Lu family will be gone." Lu Xun squinted his eyes wearily... He still didn't forget to remind: "Also, you should be as high-profile as possible in Cangwu, and all your whereabouts will be exposed. Don't ask about 'Hongyan', let alone 'your father was assassinated', and about your mother and your younger brother... The top priority is to protect ourselves first!"

Looking at Lu Xun's serious eyes...

Sun Ru pursed her lips and nodded heavily.

this moment…

She realized that maybe she really got into trouble, into big trouble!

...

...

Jiaozhou, Yulin County.

In the rare early winter, such a good day suddenly appeared, and the warm sunshine shone on the earth.

The chirping of birds rang through the trees.

Under the good sunlight, a woman was drying books in the yard.

Among the books, she was standing elegantly in a turquoise dress.

Fifteen years ago, there was a saying that there was a second bridge in Jiangdong, and Zhen Miqiao in Hebei.

The woman in front of her is called Qiao Liang, she is the concubine of Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong in the past, Sun Shao's mother, and the second bridge in Jiangdong - Da Qiao.

Although he was over thirty years old, the years had irreversibly left many marks on his cheeks, but the foundation of the beauty of the country was still there, slim and graceful... Xiuwaihuizhong.

At this moment, oiled paper was spread on the floor, and Da Qiao unfolded the books one by one. His son, Sun Shao, was sitting in a wheelchair at the door, watching his mother Da Qiao drying the books. He said with a smile, "People say that June [-] , drying red and green, now it’s October [-]th, and secondly... Mother should be drying clothes, not these books, right?”

Da Qiao came up, "I'll take out your clothes to dry..."

Beads of sweat glistened on her forehead.

Sun Shao was still sitting in the wheelchair, his leg was wrapped with a thick bandage, as if...he was seriously injured.

In fact, for ten years...his leg has been wrapped in bandages, and he has been called to the doctor regularly...it seems that one leg is completely useless.

"Mom, let me wipe your sweat."

Seemingly seeing the crystal beads of sweat glistening on the forehead of his mother, Da Qiao, Sun Shao raised his sleeves to wipe the sweat for his mother. "like a smile.

These years...she has suffered so much.

Since his husband Sun Bofu passed away 15 years ago and Sun Quan took over the throne, rumors have spread throughout Jiangdong.

Many people said that it was Sun Quan who united with the big clans of Soochow and tricked Sun Ce to the ambush site alone, and that's how the assassin was assassinated.

Da Qiao didn't believe a word of this kind of news.

Da Qiao watched Sun Quan grow up.

She doesn't think it's possible...

Although this kid is a bit scheming, how could he point the finger at his beloved elder brother?
But later, some news came out faintly, such as Sun Ce and Sun Quan's uncle Wu Jing supported himself, and he wanted to support Sun Ce and Da Qiao's son Sun Shao to succeed to the throne.

Another relative, Sun Hao, directly rebelled and held high the banner that Sun Quan's position was wrong.

There is also the rebellion of Li Shu, the prefect of Lujiang. His statement is exactly the same as that of Sun Hao. Sun Ce's assassination is strange... and Sun Quan is very likely to be involved.

Of course, with the return of Zhou Yu's troops, these rebellions were put down one after another.

Da Qiao and Sun Shao didn't dare to stay in Soochow anymore, so they took the initiative to ask for orders to leave this "sad place". Since then, Da Qiao brought his son to Yulin, Jiaozhou.

There are countless orange groves here...

Sun Shao grew up here, and he was carefree at first.

Can…

For Big Joe...

There will always be Sun Ce's old men secretly looking for her husband, some say they want to help Sun Shao regain the position of the Lord of Jiangdong, some remind Da Qiao and Sun Shao to be careful of Sun Quan, including Tai Shici's people.

Even Tai Shici came here in person...

Only then did Da Qiao know that his husband and this "Golden Spear and Silver Halberd" Tai Shici had never known each other before, and it was a fateful friendship.

This allowed Da Qiao to find a long-lost support.

For the next few years...

It was the generals and governors who once wanted to establish Sun Shao, or Sun Quan's third younger brother Sun Yi, died inexplicably one after another.

Even Tai Shici, who had secretly helped their mother and child all these years, died strangely.

Only then did Da Qiao realize that perhaps the reminders from her husband's old department, and even Tai Shici, were not groundless...

But she... She and her son really didn't think about what to fight for?

But these... don't matter at all.

Nine years ago, my son, Sun Shao, injured his leg inexplicably. The doctor said that he was disabled and that he might not be able to walk again.
Da Qiao thought to himself, this is also good...

After all, isn't Sun Quan's younger brother Sun Yi dead?

Who can guarantee that the next target is not her Da Qiao's son - Sun Shao!
If you hurt your leg, you will be disabled. Are you a disabled person?

This shouldn't be a threat to Sun Quan's status, right?
After that, a "swan goose" organization suddenly appeared in Jiangdong.

Rumors say that the purpose of their existence is to investigate the truth about Sun Ce's assassination.

And with the passage of time, "Swan Goose" has added many new missions.

In addition to investigating the truth about Sun Ce's assassination, they also reached out to the truth about the death of "Xu Kun" and the truth about the sudden disappearance of "Tai Shici"...

And in these years, famous generals one after another... Why did they die strangely?

At that time, Da Qiao was still a little worried about "Swan Goose"...

Sure enough, worry is not superfluous.

With the in-depth investigation of the "swan geese", Sun Quan began to suppress the swan geese.

The entire Soochow, including the rumors in the market, including the records of the official historian, there is no trace of "swan geese"... The geese passed, but they may not leave traces!
Since then, there has been a faint saying that swan geese are in Jiaozhou, Cangwu, Jiaozhi, and Yulin...

Da Qiao thought it was a rumor and didn't take it seriously.

But who would have thought that since the complete break between Soochow and Jiaozhou, this voice has intensified.

During this time, Da Qiao's heart was inexplicably filled with infinite worries.

Posting books on a day when they shouldn't be posting books...

Perhaps, this is also... to relieve the boredom in Da Qiao's heart.

"Does your leg still hurt today?"

Son Sun Shao wiped Da Qiao's sweat, and Da Qiao asked about his son's injury with concern.

"It's still the same..." Sun Shao showed a faint smile, as innocent as ever, how much Da Qiao hoped that he would remain so innocent.

Da Qiao took a deep look at Sun Shao, then turned around and went to get clothes in the room, but never thought that he would not notice the stack of books on the ground...

She tripped over the thick bamboo slips and staggered, with a well beside her.

Sun Shao saw his mother about to fall into the well, "Mother, mother..."

He was so anxious that he stood up and grabbed his mother.

At this time... the courtyard door opened, and the servants stood at the door looking at Sun Shao in amazement, and Da Qiao also looked at his son in surprise. "You...your legs?"

Only then did Sun Shao wake up. He looked down at his legs in shock and remorse, and then raised his head to look at his mother. Da Qiao's eyes were already full of shock and bewilderment, but soon, this bewilderment turned into a huge one. frightened.

The two... just looked at each other in "desperation"...

As if in an instant, a feeling of terror overwhelmed the sky.

The servant came to his senses, and suddenly ran away... rushed out from the corner door.

Da Qiao hasn't reacted yet...

Sun Shao was taken aback, "Come back!"

While speaking, he also rushed out, and released a sound similar to "Sounding Arrow". At this moment, he was walking like flying... Where does he look like he has a leg injury?

Seeing this scene, Da Qiao was terrified, but he could only grit his teeth and chased after him.

Sun Shao chased the firewood house, chased the stables, and finally in the alley in front of the door, Sun Shao pressed the servant...

He angrily said, "What are you running for?"

The servant was agile, and suddenly drew out a short knife and was about to stab Sun Shao, but Sun Shao dodged it sideways, and the two were fighting in the alley.

When Da Qiao came, his jaw dropped when he saw his son fighting with someone...

As if his son had fallen into a disadvantage, the servant's dagger was about to pierce Sun Shao's throat, and it was approaching.

Da Qiao hurried forward to pull the servant's hand, shouting desperately:
"You let go...you let go!"

But at this moment, a dagger seemed to fall from the sky, piercing the back of this servant's neck, with blood pooling... At this moment, both Da Qiao and Sun Shao are exhausted...

call--

call--

In the heavy exhalation, the two noticed that a tall, handsome man came out of the street. Apart from the dagger he had just inserted into the back of the servant's neck, he was also holding a halberd in his hand.

"Taishi...brother——"

Sun Shao subconsciously opened his mouth...

The person who came was Tai Shici's son Tai Shixiang. Since the death of his father Tai Shici, Sun Quan first appointed Tai Shixiang as the captain of Yueqi, and inherited his father Taishici's soldiers and horses as usual. This is also in line with the hereditary system of soldiers and horses in the Eastern Wu Dynasty.

But soon, Tai Shixiang fell ill and was bedridden.

And these soldiers cannot be without owners, so it is logical that Sun Quan temporarily handed them over to Lu Su to take over.

After that... Tai Shixiang suddenly disappeared from the sick bed, and he has not been heard from since.

Of course, he didn't disappear, he realized something.

——Escape immediately!

call…

At this moment, Tai Shixiang also let out a long breath, "If you die here, I will be speechless to face my father who was buried at the foot of Nanxu Beigu Mountain."

At this moment, Da Qiao was already on the verge of collapse, she looked blankly at her son, then at Tai Shixiang...

Sun Shao pursed his lips and finally told the truth to his mother.

"Mother, we are 'swan geese'! Over the years...the truth about my father's assassination, the truth about the death of Uncle Taishi, and the truth about the death of all the meritorious veterans, we have been investigating, and we have already figured it out."

boom…

Rumble.

Sun Shao's words were like a bolt from the blue, making Da Qiao's eyes widen in disbelief.

"You...you..."

Tai Shixiang hurriedly said: "Mrs. Qiao... Now is not the time to talk. There are three eyes and ears sent here by Sun Quan. Since the war between Jiaozhou and Dongwu, one person has been withdrawn. Now one person has been killed, and one person remains... You deal with it first." This corpse, I will kill the remaining one!"

While talking, Tai Shixiang had already run away.

Da Qiao looked at Sun Shao in a daze.

"You... how much are you still hiding from mother?"

Sun Shao swallowed his saliva, he pondered and said: "Father's death can't be forgotten, I discussed with Brother Tai Shi, the geese must leave traces..."

"Mother, taking advantage of the current war between Jiaozhou and Soochow, that thief Sun Quan can't reach here, I plan to send mother to a safe place first?"

"A safe place?" Da Qiao was startled.

"Jiangling City!" Sun Shaoyu said earnestly, "Jiangling City is the safest in the current situation!"

"Only if mother is safe...Brother Taishi and I can do big things, let that thief Sun Quan tell the world about all the evil deeds he has done, and make him notorious! Make him feel ashamed of his fathers and folks in Jiangdong!"

...

...

Changsha County, in the post house.

A new moon leaked its brilliance from the window lattice of Guan Lin's study.

"what?"

Following Guan Lin's exclaimed voice deliberately raised, he asked very solemnly: "What do you mean? It's not that you want to see me? It's that the governors of the Seven Counties of Jiaozhou paid you a lot of money to see me?"

"Exactly." Han Xuan nodded.

Speaking of which, since Milu brought Han Xuan and Gong Zhi in, Guan Lin has been talking with them for a while.

The general situation has also been understood.

Some things, such as the conflict between Soochow and Jiaozhou because of a batch of ordnance, Guan Lin knew about this before.

This game... was arranged by him!
Other things, just heard.

For example, Soochow sent troops to Jiaozhou, and Lu Xun fought and won victoriously, but in ten days he had captured two counties of Nanhai and Cangwu...

Shibian, the governor of the seven counties of Jiaozhou, suddenly shrank to "the governor of the five counties".

And... Guan Lin is not difficult to deduce.

If the fight continues like this, Jiaozhou will not be able to resist Lu Xun's attack at all.

In this day and age, talk about military talent.

Lu Xun is a "special" existence.

When others fight wars, the more they fight, the fewer soldiers they fight. He has always fought more and more soldiers.

Of course, at the age of 20, he entered the residence of General Sun Quan, worked as a farmer, worked as a county magistrate, cultivated fields and repaired water, and was deeply loved by the people, and was called "the god king" by the people.

I won't talk about these.

According to records, Lu Xun's first battle was when he conquered the bandits in Wujun and Kuaiji—and won two thousand soldiers.

In the second battle, he participated in the conquest of the Poyang bandit Youtu, and cooperated with He Qi to win [-] soldiers;
In the third battle, Shanyue in the Danyang area was conquered, and tens of thousands of soldiers were won by the strategy of suspicious soldiers.

Three conquests, three battles and three victories.

Instead of decreasing, the Lu family army seems to have the ability to reproduce, fighting more and more, fighting more and more.

Originally, there were four major families in Wu County, Gu Lu, Zhu Zhang... The Lu family ranked second.

But I was stunned because Lu Xun alone had surpassed the Gu family by far, and was truly number one.

And the reasons for these.

It is because Lu Xun was one of the few commanders in the Three Kingdoms era who could see the "dialectical" relationship.

That is the so-called dialectical relationship between bandits and mountains.

That is - interest!
Lu Xun is very good at turning disasters into benefits...

Turn the thief into a song!
Just for this point, the ten Jiaozhou scholars are not Lu Xun's opponents.

Baobuqi Jiaozhou was over, and Lu Xun alone had tens of thousands more soldiers.

This is what Guan Lin does not want to see.

call…

Thinking of this, Guan Lin exhaled lightly, he raised his eyes to ask Han Xuan, and also Gong Zhi. "Let's talk about it, Jiaozhou paid such a big price to let you introduce him to my son...what's the matter?"

this…

Gong Zhi looked at Han Xuan, and Han Xuan looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart. He seemed to have expected Guan Lin to ask such a question.

"Hehe..." With a slight smile, Han Xuan replied unhurriedly: "The fourth son is extremely smart? How can you not see the stakes here?"

"The fourth son has a share of this benefit, I, Han Xuan, and Gong Zhi have a share, but although I, Han Xuan, love money, I pay attention to how to get it properly... and I can see that no matter what, the people of Jiaozhou have a share. It can’t fall into the hands of Soochow, not to mention...Jiaozhou Shibian’s family can come up with this meeting gift, it must be profitable for the Fourth Young Master, and it will be profitable for Jingzhou. So and so...He came to ask to see the Fourth Young Master? What’s the matter? Fourth Young Master's heart is like a mirror, how could he not know?"

Having said this, Han Xuan paused for a moment, and the words that followed became more earnest.

"The fourth son is not short of money, but who in this world would think that there is too much money? What's more, making friends with Jiaozhou and letting them contain Soochow, it will be beneficial to the fourth son, Guan Gong, and Jingzhou like this!"

hiss…

Following Han Xuan's words, Guan Lin's eyes widened.

What subconsciously floated in his mind was one sentence.

——"The Romance of the Three Kingdoms misunderstood my son!This Han Xuan is not a fool, nor is he a bitter and mean person. His words directly opened his eyes. This is a master who is well versed in the way of being an official and can clearly see the current situation! 』

Even, for a moment...

Guan Lin felt the mood and throbbing that he had only had when he had not seen the "master's tricks" for a long time.

Who the hell said that the talents of the Shu Han were withered!

If people are placed in the right place, is that a talent?
If people put it in the wrong place, it is garbage!
