Chapter 31

Sun Quan, the leader of Soochow, was proficient in the art of checks and balances.

He is very good at balancing the complex factions in Jiangdong.

And his unique checks and balances.

The surface is gentle, but behind the scenes, I don't know how much blood has been stained!

In order to achieve an absolute balance, Sun Quan has always been choosing between weakening, maintaining and supporting the three factions within Jiangdong.

Lu Xun is the most transparent...

After the Battle of Chibi, some people's power was too strong, the so-called - "The master of the earthquake!"

The "Huaisi Expedition" faction headed by Sun Ce's former subordinate Zhou Yu...should be weakened.

The Jiangdong faction headed by the native clans "Gu, Lu, Zhu, and Zhang" should also support and strengthen the faction to check and balance the "Huaisi" faction.

As for the one in the middle, it is a branch of the Huaisi Sect, the "Huaisi Liuyu Sect" headed by Lu Su and Zhuge Jin!
The so-called three-legged confrontation!
The big "Three Kingdoms" stand together!

But within each country, isn't there a mixture of "Little Three Kingdoms"?

Aren't these small three kingdoms standing on top of each other, checking and balancing each other?
As for Zhou Yu's betrayal.

Not a betrayal in the broad sense.

At that time, the entire Han Dynasty was rumored that Yizhou would have an emperor and Wu Yi's sister would be a queen.

But at that time Zhou Yu gave up the confrontation with Cao Cao in Nanjun and proposed to go west to Bashu.

Bashu and Jiangdong are thousands of miles away, Zhou Yu led troops in, can Sun Quan still control it?

after that...

Sun Quan's eyes obviously dodged a few times, but soon, he changed back to the majestic Soochow Lord.

"Bo Yan was joking. When my elder brother passed away, he told me to ask Zhang Zhao if he was not sure about internal affairs, and Zhou Yu if he was not sure about foreign affairs. I show that Gongjin is like an elder brother. How can my elder brother betray me? As for Gongjin's death, I am heartbroken. !"

Having said that, it is obvious that Sun Quan's eyes towards Lu Xun have changed, becoming a lot more friendly.

It seemed that he had regained his trust in Lu Xun, and besides this trust, there was an extra surprise.

"Bo Yan retreat first!"

"Wei!" Lu Xun bid farewell.

After he walked away, Sun Quan's son Sun Deng walked out from behind the curtain.

Sun Quan said with emotion to him: "Except for Gu, Lu Boyan has become the most transparent one!"

Sun Deng's eyes were burning, and he said with emotion: "Yes, father has another handsome talent who can be used to great advantage."

Handsome?

Hearing this word, Sun Quan narrowed his eyes, "After all, this handsome man is too young!"

Sun Deng nodded first, and then shook his head. He looked at the map hanging high in the palace, and his gaze was in the direction of Jingzhou. Lu Ziming, he will be more on guard, but if Lu Boyan, then... maybe..."

"Maybe?"

"Guan Yunchang will definitely not put such a young general as Lu Xun in his eyes. Maybe at some point in the future, Boyan will be able to make great contributions to his father!"

Hearing that his son admired Lu Xun so much.

Sun Quan said with emotion: "It seems that my son is very optimistic about Lu Boyan..."

Sun Deng nodded, "Only today, there are many advisers under Cao Cao's command, Zhuge Liang under Liu Bei's command, and Lu Su and Zhang Zhao under his father's command are also humerus talents. Can we look back? In ten, twenty, thirty years, Who else can Cao Cao use? Who else can Liu Bei use? Does Guan Yu have any useful advisers?"

Sun Deng's words attracted Sun Quan's praise, "My son can see far!"

Speaking of this, Sun Quan ordered: "The top priority is to send a letter to Jiangling, asking Ziyu (Zhuge Jin) to pay close attention to Jiangling's movements. As for Lu Meng in Jingnan, continue to stand still. This time, he Guan Yunchang will not move. Do not move alone! Wait for him to make the first move!"

This…

Sun Deng added, "Then Hefei?"

Sun Quan's tone was firm, "Don't move!"

...

...

Jiangling City, inside the post house.

Zhuge Jin was wearing Yanju casual clothes, and wrote a few large characters with a lot of thoughts:
——Ge Shengmeng Chu, stalks and vines in the wild.

——Ge Sheng Meng thorns, vines in the field.

Zhuge Ke, the son who just came to Jiangling, commented by his side, "Kudzu vines grow and cover thorns, and weeds spread in the cemetery... What my father recited is the chapter "Ge Sheng" in "The Book of Songs·Guofeng". It's just that my father doesn't like it. Are you waiting for an article that combines 'Xing, Bi, and Fu'?"

Zhuge Jin smiled and shook his head, "Only the kudzu vines can grow yellow thorns, and the desolate tombs can grow wild grapes. What a wonderful 'Fu, Bi, Xing', but the tiger father has no dogs, why... the son of Guan Gong grows crooked. gone?"

Mentioning this, Zhuge Ke understood that the article "Ge Sheng" written by his father was related to the topic that everyone talked about in the streets and alleys of Jiangling City recently.

It's been two days... Guan Yu's fourth son, Guan Lin and Guan Yunqi, openly confronted Guan Gong and demanded that his father write a "criminal letter" in full view of the public!
This kind of news, in ancient times, can be said to be the best.

As if, it has become the topic of conversation in the entire Jiangling City, and countless people who eat melons are eagerly looking forward to the development of the situation.

Zhuge Ke said with emotion: "As a son of man, even though he is clever and witty, he can't be arrogant and conceited in front of his father! But..."

Zhuge Ke paused for a moment, then continued: "What's outrageous is that Guan Lin is so unfilial, but Guan Yu didn't punish him. I don't understand this."

In Jiangdong, Zhuge Ke was known as a "child prodigy" because he was clever and quick-witted.

Studying with Gu Tan, Zhang Xiu and others who often accompany Sun Quan's eldest son Sun Deng, he can be regarded as the accompaniment of the son from childhood to adulthood.

Many times, the questions that the descendants of the grandson Deng had doubts were still Zhuge Ke who gave him advice.

This time I was waiting for my father in Jiangling, and I went out of Jiangdong specially to follow my father to see the world.

I never thought about it, but it really opened my eyes.

As soon as he arrived in Jiangling, he heard that Guan Lin and his father Guan Yu were confronting tit for tat in public and in military camps. Even Zhuge Ke found it inconceivable to hear such arrogance.

As for why Guan Yu didn't punish...Zhuge Ke didn't understand, but Zhuge Jin understood somewhat.

"Yuan Xun (Zhuge Ke) can hear it, what is the reason for the dispute between the Guan family father and son?"

"It seems to be a test of martial arts? A test of martial arts with wolves!"

"No!" Zhuge Jin tapped his son's forehead lightly with a pen, "I always taught you the 'clear with insight, philosophic with self-protection', where have you learned it?"

"You can't just look at the appearance of things, you have to look at the inside. For example... The reason for the dispute between the father and son of the Guan family is that Guan Lin didn't know martial arts, but he was able to come out on top in the martial arts test. Guan Yunchang was unparalleled in martial arts. How could such a martial artist allow his children Don't learn martial arts?"

"As for why Guan Yunchang didn't punish Guan Lin, it's because of his 'talent'!"

"Literary talent?" Zhuge Ke asked hastily.

Zhuge Jin nodded, "In the face of injustice, he can respond quickly, criticize Guan Yu with the violence of tigers and wolves in Jingzhou Nanjun a hundred years ago, and extend the 'hunting ban' and 'criminal letter', this son is still quite capable Yes, but after all, just like his father, he is troubled by the word 'proud', the so-called undefeated proud soldiers, this father and son will stumble on this sooner or later!"

Zhuge Ke pondered...

He is actually quite proud. Could it be that sooner or later he will stumble on the word proud?
Just when I was muttering in my heart.

A servant came in to report. "My lord, I have already found out that Jiangdong attacked Jingnan unexpectedly... The person who spread this news to the beggars is... Guan Yu's fourth son——Guan Lin!"

Guan... Guan Lin?
As soon as the name came out, Zhuge Jin was taken aback.

Zhuge Ke also raised his head quickly.

For a moment, the eyes of the two of them turned sharply at the same time, and they both became suspicious.

What Zhuge Ke was thinking about was, why is there such Guan Lin everywhere?

Zhuge Jin's eyeballs were fixed, and he said anxiously:
--"not good!"

——"I... I was fooled!"
