Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 781
Two days later, Zhou Cang quietly left Xiangxian County with Dianman and [-] guards and went northward, passing through Peijun and Lujun. Wu Gang and the civil and military cadres' contributions are mainly due to Zhou Cang's victory in Yuzhou. He was deterred by the Han army's military power, and no one dared to commit crimes against the wind.

Zhou Cang praised Wu Gang and Chen Still, and was especially optimistic about Chen Still, thinking that Chen Still's future achievements would be no less than Chen Dao.Chen still made no secret of his admiration for Zhou Yan, the daughter of Zhou Cang. Zhou Cang laughed.

After only staying in Lu County for a short time, Zhou Cang rushed to Jibei. He hadn't seen Lu Xun for a long time. He had a lot to say and important things to arrange.

After staying in the grasslands and deserts for a long time, Lu Xun, who was originally gentle and refined, had some weather on his face, but he still did not lose the demeanor of a Confucian general.Lu Xun first gave a brief report on the war in the north. Cao Xing had occupied Langjuxu, Zang Ba's army had crossed the vast sea, and there were no royal courts in the north and south of the desert.After Qu'a went north, he and Zang Ai continued to clean up the remnants of Xianbei, while Cao and Sun Guan chose key places to build cities as a long-term plan.The only regret is that the Han people are not used to herding sheep and horses, and seeing the vast grasslands, they lack vitality.

Folk customs are hard to change, and Zhou Cang is helpless about this, but Xianbei must not be left as a future trouble. "If you don't get used to it, you have to get used to it. If you don't succeed in one year, it will be five or ten years."

Lu Xun was amazed that Zhou Cang did not kill Sun Quan but paid it to the vassal state, and there was no better result than this.

Then Lu Xun took out another confidential letter. "This is when passing through Youzhou, I met the third son by chance. His subordinate Mou Jin asked me to pass it on to the Duke. He said that I must hand it over to the Duke with my own hands and must not be handed over to others."

As a result, Zhou Cang did not open the secret letter, weighed it in his hand and asked, "When you see Zhou Yuan, what do you think of him?"

Lu Xun thought for a while and replied: "Young master is intelligent, and he is very humble in dealing with others, but... in my opinion, although he does not leave any traces, he is suspected of being artificial."

Zhou Cang nodded slightly. It was about his own child. If he asked others, maybe because of avoiding suspicion or self-protection, he would not give Zhou Cang a pertinent answer, but Zhou Cang knew that Lu Xun would only speak bluntly.According to historical records, it was because of the issue of establishing a reserve that Lu Xun clashed with Sun Quan when others were unable to hide, and was alienated by Sun Quan's suspicion.Zhou Cang also believed in Lu Xun's feeling that a general who strategized and commanded tens of thousands of horses was accurate.

Gently opening the sealed letter, Mu Jin recorded Zhou Yuan's itinerary and behavior in his heart. Zhou Yuan practiced benevolence and righteousness along the way, often entertained officials and scholars, and had a good talk with Yuan Mai in Jizhou, accompanied by Yuan Mai. Visiting the door of the gentry, there are many donations to charity.When the pottery merchant passed away, Zhou Yuan offered his condolences in person, and everyone called him Corporal Lixian.In Youzhou, Zhou Yuan privately met the assassin Han Qian...

Zhou Cang frowned, folded the secret letter and put it in his arms. "Let's not talk about Yuan'er, Yuan Zhi wrote to say that your son Lu Kang is so talented, I wonder if he is there?" Some words were exhausted, Zhou Cang changed the topic to talk about Lu Kang.

"How can a dog deserve such a compliment?" Lu Xun said with a smile: "There is another son whose virtue is far superior to that of a dog, that is, Yang Hu, the son of Yang Fen and Cai Yan, because the dog is very close to him, so Yang Fen entrusted him to me Let’s go back to Yanzhou together. It’s just that I’m in a rush on business, and Yuan Zhi has never seen him.”

Zhou Cang was ecstatic that the relationship between Lu and Yang was decades earlier, and the enemies who were originally hostile turned into good friends.I only know that Yang Yu and Cai Yan were combined because of history compilation, but I really didn't expect to give birth to Yang Hu. "The three sheep are all great sages. He was originally from Mount Tai, but was taken to the north by Xuan Gao. He ordered Zizi to go back to Yanzhou with you, which is considered a return to his hometown."

Lu Xun sighed: "That's right. There is no one in the Taishan Yang family. It is really wrong. When Yanghu returns, there will be another Yang family in Taishan."

Yang Hu and Lu Kang were recruited. Yang Hu was nine years old and Lu Kang was six years old, and they were very close.Zhou Cang took one or two exams and answered very decently. "I have two disciples, Wen Chang and Peng Fei, and now I want to accept these two sons as disciples again. I don't know what Bo Yan thinks?"

How could Lu Xun not like it. "The Duke of the state is optimistic, and the blessing of the second son. Are you still paying homage to your mentor?"

Yang Hu and Lu Kang hurriedly knelt down and worshiped their master.

"Okay, okay." Zhou Cang became happier the more he looked at it. These two people are talented people, not inferior to Lu Xun and Xu Shu. "It's just that the military is busy, so I can't bring you with me. Let Boyan take care of it for now. I came in a hurry and didn't have any preparations. This jade pendant is for you." Zhou Cang took off the jade pendant around his waist. "You guys have to keep it well, with this jade pendant you can go anywhere."

The gift is too heavy, that is to say, with this jade pendant, you can go to any confidential unit or laboratory, and there is no such treatment in succession.Lu Xun wanted to dissuade him, but after thinking about it, it seemed that Zhou Cang's direct disciple should be like this.

The two children gave in to each other, and finally the elder Yang Hu took it and put it in his arms carefully.

Zhou Cang said to Lu Xun: "Since Yang Hu returns to Yanzhou, he can go to Mount Tai to worship his ancestors. Wu Gang will do it. Don't be extravagant but also not stingy." Yang Xu is very famous, and Zhou Cang's move may be to attract people's hearts.

Yang Hu knelt down and kowtowed in thanks.Zhou Cang said: "Although you are my students, you must not be special, and you must not use my name to misbehave. In the future, you must start as an official from a small official, and you must start from a small soldier in the army."

Yang Hu and Lu Kang got up and said: "We will follow the teacher's instruction."

After the two retreated, Lu Xun asked: "The Duke is fighting in Yuzhou, why did you come to Jibei?" Lu Xun already knew the situation of the battle in Yuzhou, but he just wondered why Zhou Cang came in person.

Zhou Cang narrated some of his judgments about Wei Jun. "I came here to discuss with Bo Yan. If Cao Ren goes south, Bo Yan will attack Yanzhou; if Cao Pi returns to the army, I will fight him in Yuzhou."

Lu Xun panicked and said, "How can the Duke's ten thousand gold body be in danger? Yuan Zhi can do it."

Zhou Cang shook his head: "I borrowed Sima Yi's defense in Xiangxian County, and I am ready to stand firm, no problem. This is just the second thing. I have ordered the Military and Political Council to recruit [-] troops within a year, and launch a general attack on the Wei army next year. Bo Yan will be the general. command."

"How is this appropriate? It is better for the Duke to personally command."

Zhou Cang shook his head again: "Don't push back, Bo Yan is the most appropriate. Wu Gang can work with you as a consultant, or you can ask Yuan Zhi to come over. You need to make a plan as soon as possible." Lu Xun leads the army, and Zhou Cang delegates power An important part of it, how can it be changed. "The future military affairs will all depend on Boyan and Yuan Zhi, Bo Yan will be outside and Yuan Zhi will be inside."

Lu Xun saw that it was getting late: "The Duke will rest for now, I will submit a general plan as soon as possible, please consult the Duke."

Lu Xun resigned, Zhou Cang's face was slightly cold: "Pengju, send someone to Jinan immediately, and say that Zhou Chong will come to see him immediately!"
