Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 738 Rats

In fact, the sea has been calm.

The problem actually lies with Li Yue. The Honglu officials hyped up the distribution of land to the returning soldiers, which aroused the vigilance of Jiangdong's powerful forces.

Their ancestors had lived here for generations, so they naturally did not want their fields to be taken away by Liang Guo.

Land is their lifeblood. For the sake of land, they dare to rebel against the Sima family and the Liang Kingdom.

Moreover, Liang Guo has always dealt with powerful people by suppressing them.

At the critical moment, the attitude of Wu Hui's powerful men became ambiguous.

With only 20,000 pirates, without powerful support, it would be difficult to fight all the way from Kuaiji to Jiankang.

"Uncle, how confused. Huan Wen's downfall is imminent. If we turn against the imperial court now, are we seeking death?" Shen Jin said and said it, while the powerful men still had blank expressions on their faces.

"Hmph, when King Sima Rui led the expedition south, we, the Jiangdong heroes, gave us full support. What did we get in exchange? We don't want to be enemies with Daliang. We just want to guard this three-acre land. We will follow whoever comes to snatch it. Work hard!" Zhou Zhi snorted coldly.

"Your Majesty is dealing with soldiers, not us, so you don't need to panic."

"We still know the methods of Emperor Liang, you don't need to say anything." Zhou Zhi was not very willing to raise troops at the beginning, and was coerced by other powerful men and had no choice but to move.

When the two sides were in a stalemate, one person sneered and said: "It is said that Wu Hui is an outstanding person. I saw him today, but he is just a coward. General Pingxi, the ancestor of the Zhou family, was brave and brave. He was killed by Sima Xu, and Marquis Wucheng was killed by Sima Rui. , I don’t know what you two would think if you knew that your descendants are so fearless!"

General Pingxi is Zhou Chu, and Marquis Wucheng is Zhou Qi. Both of them are well-known figures.

"Bold!" Zhou Zhi was furious.

Blood revenge was popular in the Han, Wei and Jin Dynasties, and vengeance must always be avenged.

The three generations of the Zhou family had a deep feud with Beiqian, headed by the Sima family.

"This junior speaks from the bottom of his heart, and I won't be happy if I don't say it out loud!"

"Who are you?" Zhou Zhi pressed his hand on the hilt of his sword. Under the gaze of everyone, his face felt hot. A person who dared not even avenge the blood feud of his ancestors would definitely be looked down upon.

"Junior Lu Xun." The young man cupped his hands. His dark face was covered with wrinkles caused by the sea breeze, making him look older and more mature.

"Uncle, don't want to see me..." Shen Jin stepped forward to stop him, but Zhou Zhi pushed him away and walked to Lu Xun. The distance between them was less than two steps.

Lu Xun looked calm and looked at him without fear.

Other Zhou family members gathered around with bright long knives.

With just one order from Zhou Zhi, these people would be chopped into pieces.

"This young boy is just speechless for a moment, why should Brother Zhou take it to heart?" Gu Gongzhi hurriedly dissuaded him.

Wu Huihaoqiang did not want to cooperate with Liang, nor did he want to turn against Liang Guo.

"Are you speechless?" Zhou Zhi's face jumped.

The hatred of his ancestors is where his reverse scale lies.

"Lu Xun!" Shen Jin scolded quickly.

Lu Xun seemed not to have heard it, with a slight smile on his lips and looking into Zhou Zhi's eyes, "A real man dares to act boldly. He spits and nails. Do you have to take back the spit that you spit out? Have you ever said that? Wrong? The Jingzhou army robbed you and other common people, and plundered your wives, daughters, and sisters, but you are like a shrunken turtle, calling yourself a hero? Are there such heroes in the world?"

Lu Xun's voice got louder and louder.

The last question made Wu Huihaoqiang present even more ashamed.

The powerful are local snakes who have close ties with the local people and have the responsibility to protect the land and the people.

The scene suddenly became extremely quiet.

As if he was afraid that the flames were not big enough, Lu Xun continued to add fuel to the fire, "It's just that you didn't dare to take revenge before. Now that the imperial army has arrived, you are still timid and careless. The children of Jiangdong are nothing more than that!"

"Do you think my sword is harmful?" Yu Qi jumped out and drew his sword on the spot.

Is Lu Xun a man who would die without hesitation? He took two steps back to avoid Zhou Zhi who was in front of him, and drew his sword in his hand, "My sword is not bad at all!"

The two stared at each other like fighting cocks, like sworn enemies.

Qiang, Qiang, Qiang... The navy who came with Shen Jin also drew their Huanshou swords on the spot, and some people raised their short crossbows and pointed them at everyone.

Although there are only seventeen people, they are all desperadoes with their heads in their crotches. They can throw away their lives but not lose their momentum.

Gu Gongzhi, who was quarrelsome at the side, suddenly shouted: "How can I, a descendant of Jiangdong, be a rat?"

These words made everyone present blush, which actually changed the tense atmosphere.

"Shen Jin, what do you mean?" someone called Shen Jin.

This sentence is asking whether Shen Jin is from Jiangdong or Liang.

Shen Jin looked hesitant. On one side were his hometown elders and on the other were the court officials.

Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot have both sides, and it is indeed true today.

"Everyone, please listen to me. How has Daliang ever treated anyone who contributed to the imperial court badly? The division of land is also the land of Beikang. I guarantee it with my head!"

After saying that, he put the long sword across his neck, "If you want to kill, kill me first!"

Shen Jin was famous for his bravery in Kuaiji, but because of his participation in the Wangdun Rebellion, the Shen family was reduced to the Xing family. The sons of the Xing family could only hold lowly jobs and were not allowed to enter officialdom.

If the Shen family wants to rise, they can only hug Liang Guo's thigh tightly.

Big eyes stared at small eyes on both sides.

At this moment, Zhou Zhi, who was furious at first, calmed down and said, "Stop."

The tribes first put away their weapons.

The navy also put away their weapons.

Zhou Zhi took a deep look at Lu Xun, and then looked at Shen Jin, "How can we ensure that the beam does not move the fields we are waiting for?"

Shen Jin is just a general and has no right to decide the affairs of the court. In the past, he could not even guarantee the number of heads.

When Zhou Zhi was asked this question, he didn't know how to answer.

At this time Lu Xun burst into laughter, "Daliang has millions of troops and a territory of thousands of miles. Why do you still have to guarantee it to you and others? Wouldn't this happen to the world? Humph, could it be that without you, Daliang wouldn't be able to destroy Jiangdong? Jiangdong heroes? The rise and fall of everything happens today, and it all depends on your thoughts, so don’t make any mistakes!”

Sometimes, three kind words are not worth two slaps.

Lu Xun's few words were equivalent to a direct slap in the face of Jiangdong's powerful men.

But the more contradictory it is, the more convincing it becomes.

If you miss this opportunity, Jiangdong's powerful people will face many difficulties if they want to rise.

Opportunities don't come every time.

Even if Zhou Zhi doesn't want revenge, he still has to think about Jiangdong Haoqiang's future.

Thinking further, Daliang and the core are in the Central Plains and Hebei. If you want to govern Jiangdong, you must join forces with the powerful Jiangdong people. This is essentially different from the Jin Dynasty.

A person who can become a powerful person is definitely not a fool.

Lu Xun's words were enough to wake him up.

"Hahaha, it's true that a hero comes from a young age. No wonder he felt that he was very much in love with his brother at one glance, so he stepped away. Don't disturb the distinguished guests. Let's have a banquet and wine quickly. I'll get drunk with you all today!" Zhou He stopped changing his face and became kind, and the anger just now disappeared.

"Uncle, you are so polite, I will kill you!"

"You have such courage at such a young age. Your future is limitless. From now on, you need to take more care of me, the children of Wu Hui."

"What are you talking about, uncle? We are all a family, so we naturally have to take care of each other."

The two people's hands quickly squeezed together, leaving the real person in charge, Shen Jin, standing there. He even forgot to take back the sword on his neck. It wasn't until Gu Gongzhi and Yu Gong quietly made a move that they suddenly realized, Take it back quickly.
