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

Chapter 228 It's all about the desire to survive!
Jiaozhou, Cangwu County.

"--Ugh!"

With a long sigh of "ah", Lu Xun on the Cangwu City Tower frowned and thought deeply.

He hasn't been sleeping well these days.

In addition to the worries caused by the sudden arrival of his wife Sun Ru, he always felt chilly behind him, as if he was always missed.

Especially at night, under the endless night, it seemed like a dagger was stabbing towards him silently.

He woke up suddenly several times, like a nightmare, forcing him to break out in cold sweat, and he looked panic-stricken all day long.

Sun Ru, beside her, lowered her head and said slowly, "It's all the concubine's fault... which made Boyan so sad, but... I also did it for my mother and younger brother. Now they... still don't know whether to live or die?"

Her words were concise and straightforward, and she didn't intend to be half coquettish. On the contrary, she heard it somewhat clearly, as if she didn't regret it.

In fact, it is impossible for Sun Ru to regret coming here to find her mother Da Qiao and her younger brother Sun Shao.

"It's okay..." Lu Xun frowned, restrained his worry and frustration, and said lightly: "According to the time, most of my urgent mail will be delivered to Marquis Wu soon... I attack The city, he sent people to take over the city, that's already the case, he has no reason to doubt it."

"It's a pity for the Lu family's foundation." Sun Ru said with emotion: "Otherwise... the seven counties in Jiaozhou all belong to the husband and belong to the Lu family."

"It's a blessing, not a curse. What's more... the big man ruled the world with filial piety. Madam did the right thing."

Lu Xun raised his head slightly, stared at the blue sky through the slack branches, and after a long time, he slowly retracted his eyes and turned his attention back to Sun Ru.

"All these years, it is because of you that the third family of the Lu family has been able to take power, and I have become the acting head of the Lu family, and I am here today. Ma'am, I am grateful to you, even... no matter how much you lose because of you, there is no regret. "

A look of sadness remained in Sun Ru's eyes.

She naturally understood, back then... how much did your husband pay to become the patriarch of the Lu family?

Even if it's... marrying her, the daughter of the Lu family's four-bedroom, one-family enemy who has killed hundreds of people.

"I don't know, what will uncle do when he receives Boyan's letter?"

Sun Ru asked lightly.

"He will send a powerful character to take over these cities and counties, and then stare at me, watching my continued attack..."

Lu Xun seemed to see through everything, "If I can hand over the entire Jiaozhou to Marquis Wu, naturally, this suspicion will disappear. I can also gain the trust of Marquis Wu again, and maybe... I can become the governor as I wish. !"

"So what if you become the governor?" Sun Ru pursed her lips, "The governor of Soochow, counting that Zhou Gongjin, isn't he dead too?"

Her inadvertent words made Lu Xun's heart throb and churn again.

Lu Xun was speechless for a moment...

Sun Ru let out a sigh of "ah", "My mother and younger brother are in Jiaozhou, and Boyan's five-year-old 'uncle' seems to have been sent to Jiaozhou by Marquis Wu, right?"

The last sentence is "the governor of Soochow";
This sentence is "Lu Xun's little uncle", and Sun Ru's two consecutive sentences made Lu Xun's heart churn in an instant.

"I forgot about him..." Lu Xun couldn't help muttering.

"What?" Sun Ru asked quickly.

Lu Xun bit his lips subconsciously, and pondered for a long time before he said: "If my little uncle falls into the hands of Shi Xie, then...it will be troublesome!"

Sun Ru blinked her big eyes, as if she couldn't understand what her husband meant.

"call--"

And with a long exhalation, Lu Xun raised his hand.

He waved it vigorously as if comforting himself, "It's okay, the governor of the Seventh County of Jiaozhou should not have thought of this level!"

"Which floor?" Sun Ru asked impatiently.

Lu Xun took a deep breath, "Find Gongji (Lu Ji), and use him to threaten me...Let me, let the Lu family's army dare not take another step forward!"

what…

Sun Ru seemed to realize suddenly.

Why didn't she think of it?

The Lu family army in the hands of the husband, traced back to its origin, is... Lu Kang, the fourth member of the Lu family.

Husband is only the acting patriarch, and the nominal patriarch of the Lu family is still sent to Jiaozhou to be the prefect of Yulin——Lu Ji.

If the husband doesn't care about his safety, then... it's a trivial matter to be stabbed in the back by the people of the world.

The most important thing is... the members of the Lu family will definitely turn against each other!
Most definitely!
Thinking of this, cold sweat flowed from Sun Ru's forehead, and she subconsciously reached out and patted her face lightly.

She thought to herself:
——"My mouth, don't be...a crow's mouth! 』

...

Cabin over there.

Shi Xie rushed back to Jiaozhi at noon, and now he is standing on the top of Jiaozhi city.

Speaking of which, Jiaozhi is next to Changsha, and it was only a hundred miles or so to rush back.

Shi Xie rushed back one day and one night.

But before he came back, his letter had already been delivered first, and Jiaozhi was quite busy that day.

At this moment, Shi Xie's younger brother Shi Yi is reporting.

"According to my brother's instructions in the letter, I have selected a thousand pieces of songs to give to Guan Sigong, together with two hundred clever young people who went to learn how to use the 'Eight Bull Crossbow'. Just now, led by Zhi'er, They were all sent to Jiangling...according to my brother's special instructions, none of them carried any weapons."

"My younger brother has already gone to Changsha early in the morning. I expect to meet Mr. Han Xuan tonight. As for the gold and food needed for the transaction, they are all ready-made. As long as Jiang Ling sends back a message to prove that the 'Eight Bull Crossbow' 'The power is not in vain, the gold and food can be transported to Changsha at any time..."

just like…

Shi Xie's younger brother, Shi Yi, was extremely safe and efficient in his work.

Of course, he is also in his 60s, so there is no problem in terms of experience and ability.

"Okay." Listening to Shi Yi's words, Shi Xie stroked his beard, nodded slightly, and said with emotion: "This Mr. Guan Si is a kind person, and he is also a fastidious person. He is fastidious, and we should also be fastidious. This point I need to be a little more careful... Also, have you found the person that Fourth Master Guan asked us to find?"

"The patriarch of the Lu family, one of the four major families in Dongjun County, the prefect of Yulin——Lu Ji!" Shi Yi hurriedly said, "I found it, and I found it in the largest orange grove in Yulin. Come on, on our way to intercourse... If it hadn't been for the reminder from Mr. Guan Si, I would never have thought that he is Lu Xun, the weakness of the Lu family! I would never have thought that he could be used...to threaten the Lu family! "

"Hahaha…"

Hearing this, Shi Xie showed a long-lost smile, "This is the charm of Mr. Guan Si... This young man is kind, intelligent, alert and helpful... Besides, he is still young. Such a person can become our Jiaozhou scholar. A friend of his family, you must never become an enemy... If you become his enemy, I have a feeling that I don't even know how he died!"

"Brother, don't worry!" Shi Yi cupped his hands.

Shi Xie continued to order: "When Lu Ji arrives at our Jiaozhi, let us know that the patriarch of the Lu family is in our hands. If the so-called Lu family army dares to take a step forward, their patriarch will be handed over to the state army to sacrifice the flag." This news must be spread to the army of the Lu Family Army!"

Shi Yi nodded solemnly.

But he suddenly thought of something, so he couldn't help but add another question.

"I heard that 400 years ago when Chu and Han were fighting each other, Xiang Yu kidnapped Gaozu's father and sent someone to tell Liu Bang, 'If you don't surrender, I will boil your father to death.' I remember far away, Liu Bang's The answer is 'You and I work together under King Huai of Chu. Although we are not a family, we are like brothers. Then my father is your father. Since you want to boil your father to death, I can't do anything to you. Then please take a piece of my pie for brother's sake!'"

Having said that, Shi Yi paused.

As if... You Zi felt uncomfortable because of Liu Bang's "rebellious" words.

"Brother, tell me...Will Lu Xun..."

"No!" Shi Xie waved his hand and said, "I also asked Mr. Guan Si what you said, how do you think he replied?"

"Why?"

"He said, if this Lu Xun is half as ruthless as Gaozu, even the 'Eight Bullets' can't stop his Lu family army!" Shi Bian said indifferently, "It's a pity... a humble gentleman, gentle as jade, Lu Xun is a gentleman Ah, he was called the 'Shenjun' when he was young, such a gentleman cherishes his reputation more than his life, and his identity also predestined him, it is absolutely impossible to be so ruthless!"

Speaking of here…

Shi Xie's eyes moved forward faintly, as if he had passed through mountains, Jiaozhi, Yulin, and Cangwu...

Stop at the place where the Lu Family Army is stationed.

Shi Xie seemed to be able to see...

Just as the fourth master Guan said, one Lu Ji is about to cause an uproar in the entire Lu family army, and it is even more difficult for this Lu Xun to advance or retreat!

...

...

Inside the government office in Hefei City.

The 33-year-old Sun Quan, the lord of the Eastern Wu Kingdom, has finally come here, to this place...he has always dreamed of coming.

At this moment, he saw the huge "Zhang" character on the main seat.

Of course Sun Quan knew, who did this "Zhang" refer to?

With a sound of "shua", Sun Quan drew out his sword and directly split the bamboo mat under the word "Zhang" into two sections.

Bamboo mat shattered…

The sword is especially raised from high.

It was as if this sword had vented all the humiliation of his Sun Quan Xiaoyaojin battle, his infamy of "Sun Shiwan", and the grievances he had suffered in the past few months.

"Wang Wang..."

Sun Quan's new dog is wagging its tail beside Sun Quan, as if it feels the same way as its owner and shares the same hatred.

at this time.

"Report-"

A courier quickly delivered an urgent letter from Jiaozhou.

It was written by Lu Xun.

Sun Quan unfolded slowly, and the content... the most intuitive one is that Sun Quan felt "full of desire to survive"...

"Ha ha."

Sun Quan sneered, and murmured, "What a Lu Boyan, he won't take any money when the Lu family army attacked the city, but let the lonely people take over the counties in Jiaozhou. This kind of method can also be thought of, haha..."

Sun Quan seems to be in a good mood, at least...this proves Lu Xun's fear of him.

Immediately, Sun Quan greeted the puppy, and the puppy understood, and jumped to Sun Quan's side. Sun Quan picked him up and played with the dog with great interest!

"--cough-cough!"

At this moment, a cough came from outside the door.

"My lord... the final general failed to capture Shouchun, so I came here to apologize."

It was Lu Meng... When he saw Sun Quan, he immediately knelt down on one knee and gave a military salute. He lowered his head deeply, as if he was apologetic.

Yu Jin led the Runan army to support Shouchun, and Lu Meng led the army to withdraw. His son and grandson Quan already knew about this.

Of course, he didn't intend to blame Lu Meng.

In other words, he didn't mean to blame Lu Meng for this simple matter.

As for the previous matter... Sun Quan is not a magnanimous person.

"Zi Ming, get up quickly."

Sun Quan showed the side of a lord and a corporal, he bowed and helped Lu Meng up.

"Cough cough..."

However, Lu Meng's rapid coughing caught Sun Quan's attention.

"Didn't Ziming be fine last night? Why is he coughing today!"

"It was my negligence." Lu Meng shook his head and said, "Originally, I was going to capture Shouchun for my lord, but I heard... that Yu Jin had already led his army to form a formation in advance, forming a horn with Shouchun City. Opportunity, so... I couldn't withdraw the army, but it was easy to withdraw the army, but I was extremely annoyed, so I took off the helmet in a fit of anger...I never thought, being blown by the wind...but I started coughing, it should be due to the wind and cold...cough, cough, cough... "

The reason why ancient generals wore heavy armor was that they still liked to wear capes.

This is because...wearing armor is hot in summer and cold in winter, and the cloak can protect against sun in summer and cold in winter...it can also be used as a quilt at night.

And the helmet... is more important than the cloak.

Under normal circumstances, moving at high speed and suddenly taking off the helmet will lead to the invasion of typhoid fever, and in severe cases, it can cause sudden death...

Of course... Lu Meng did it on purpose, he had a certain degree of control.

One just enough to suffer from mild typhoid fever, and then... to resign from the command of the army, so that his deeds of Lu Meng's capture of Hefei became transparent.

Otherwise... the more outstanding he is, the more it seems that the lord Sun Quan is "not as good as a dog"!

"Cough cough cough-"

There was another cough, and Lu Meng apologized, "It's all due to the negligence of the general, so... now I can only resign from the position of commander, or go back to rest for a few days, I am afraid that I will not be able to command the army in a short time, alas... In the end, it is better to build the 'Lu City' for the lord first!"

Books are never in vain.

From the stories of the past.

In particular, Goujian, the king of Yue, "spent his salary and tasted his courage";
Especially "Flying birds are exhausted, good bows are hidden, cunning rabbits are dead, and lackeys are cooking",
Especially the stories of many monarchs, such as King Goujian of Yue and Fan Li, Wenzhong...

There are many masters who can share adversity but cannot share happiness!

What's more, Lu Meng and others, who explained Guan Lin's "unscrupulous" words yesterday truthfully, called the lord Sun Quan "not as good as a dog"!
This is a big taboo!

If you can see the fire clearly, Lu Meng understands Sun Quan too well and can see the situation too clearly.

That's why he took off his helmet after a quick illness, deliberately suffered from typhoid fever, and took the initiative to resign from the "commander of the army".

"Ziming made a great contribution in attacking Hefei this time..." Sun Quan squinted his eyes with a look of regret, "Originally, Gu wanted to give Ziming the right governor...but he never thought..."

"It's because I'm not up to it!" Lu Meng made an annoyed look, "Any typhoid fever requires a hundred days of recuperation. I'd better take good care of my body first. As for my thousands of songs, I will wait a while. If you can’t fight with me, leave it to the lord.”

Well…

Hearing this, Sun Quan frowned.

——"Bo Yan and Zi Ming are full of desire to survive! 』

Immediately, Sun Quan smiled, and he handed Lu Xun's letter to Lu Meng:

"—Ziming, look at this..."

Lu Meng took it, glanced at it roughly, couldn't help but frowned slightly, and said with emotion: "If Boyan only attacked the city, but didn't occupy it, that would be enough to show his loyalty!"

"Hahaha..." Sun Quan said with a smile: "It's just a letter, it's not a city of Hefei. Gu can only see that Ziming is loyal to Gu. As for Lu Boyan, is he loyal or traitor? Gu and him are separated by hundreds of miles. , how can you spy on it?"

just like…

Sun Quan's words mean something.

Lu Meng heard some meaning, he tentatively asked: "What does the lord mean... let the general continue to investigate?"

"Investigate, of course we need to investigate." Sun Quan's emerald green eyes narrowed, his expression became gloomy, and he ordered: "Since Lu Boyan said that he wanted to capture the seven counties of Jiaozhou, all of them were sent to the Orphan faction. People take over, hehe, doesn't Ziming find it interesting?"

"Gu feels that some people are as loyal as traitors, and some people are as loyal as treacherous. I would like to know, is what Lu Boyan said true? Or is it just perfunctory Gu..."

Speaking of this, Sun Quan said: "Since Ziming has suffered from the wind and cold, then Quan will... cultivate for a few days first, but in the whole of Soochow, Gu can trust you the most. I don't want any of your trilogy... Gu will add another three thousand to you Part [-], I want you to rush to Jiaozhou in a few days!"

"Isn't this Lu Boyan only attacking the city and letting Gu send someone to take over? Gu sent Ziming to go! Gu gave Ziming the title of 'Governor of the Seven Counties of Jiaozhou'! Ziming, take good care of this Lu Boyan for Gu, Let’s see if he’s attacking Jiaozhou with all his strength? Or is he holding back? Respecting the bandits... Is he ‘loyal like a traitor’ or a traitor like a loyal’!”

This... Lu Meng understood, and immediately bowed his hand, "My lord means to use the seven counties of Jiaozhou as a test to see if Lu Xun can really conquer them, and whether he can really hand over these seven counties to my lord. If so, he hesitates." , pushed three times and blocked four times, and couldn't attack...then he must have a ghost in his heart, and his collusion with Jingzhou is confirmed!"

"What you said is probably correct, but when Gu heard it, he was wrong about one thing!" Sun Quan suddenly interrupted, "The cities and counties of Jiaozhou are not handed over to Lu Boyan by Lu Boyan, but to you... the entire Soochow Wu , besides Zijing, the person Gu can trust the most is you, Lu Ziming!"

As soon as this remark came out, Lu Meng was moved for a while.

Immediately, he knelt down on one knee again, cupped his hands and said:
"—The last general... dare not be loyal?"

On the other hand, Sun Quan helped Lv Meng up again with a look of deep love between the monarch and his subjects.

Of course, once upon a time, he helped Xu Kun, Zhou Yu, and Tai Shici in this way.

There were no more pleasantries, and after a while, Lu Meng had already taken orders to leave.

Sun Quan is still hugging this pup who brought him "great luck".

He didn't forget to smile and sigh: "You bastard, let Gu see it, hehe, you beat me up, and you feed me, you should be more honest in front of Gu!"

Just got here.

"Father..." Sun Deng's voice came from outside the door.

Sun Deng noticed that his father, Sun Quan, was fighting dogs, and hurried to Sun Quan's side, "A letter from Zijing, the commander-in-chief..."

As soon as I heard Lu Su's letter.

Sun Quan's expression was uncharacteristically, that gloomy, face-squeezing, playful, quickly subsided.

"Where is the letter? Bring it." Sun Quan's tone became serious.

Sun Deng quickly submitted the letter, not forgetting to briefly state: "The condition of the governor seems to have improved, and now the letter is here because he made an appointment with Guan Sigong?"

"Gambling?" Sun Quan always felt harsh when he heard this word. It was because of this "gambling" that he lost the three counties of Changsha, Guiyang, and Jiangxia.

He, Sun Quan, doesn't like to gamble, and even... hates to gamble.

Don't wait...Sun Deng's brief introduction, Sun Quan has already seen the middle, and following one of the sentences came into view.

His emerald green pupils opened wide and wide.

He exclaimed:

——"If Zijing lost, would he actually have to stay in Jiangxia for two full years?"

——"If Guan Jiashiro loses, do you want to choose between the orphaned daughters Dahu and Xiaohu?"

——"What kind of bet is this, shouldn't it be a marriage proposal? Zenshenggu's daughter is going to Jingzhou as a 'hostage'!"

As if, in Sun Quan's experience world.

If you marry your daughter outside, there is only one possibility of "hostage"!
But he loves Big Tiger and Little Tiger too much...

How could he be willing to marry his precious daughter outside?

——『Zijing, Zijing, what are you doing? 』

——『Zijing... Are you so optimistic about Guan Jiashiro? 』

Thinking about this...

Sun Quan's eyes were still following the letter.

And when he read the words "Peace is the most important, shelving disputes, and joining the Northern Expedition, peace will benefit both, and confrontation will hurt both", he couldn't help being startled.

I thought to myself:

——"Is this what Seki Shiro proposed?After the capture of Hefei... the current situation is so... so it is! 』

——"Haha, no wonder Zijing is so optimistic about Guan Jiashiro!Hehe, Zijing's eyes are still as vicious as ever! 』

——"Hehe, if so, it would be interesting! 』

...
