27. The ghost of deja vu(1/2)
A grand welcome ceremony in Lou County turned into a farce that ended hastily, which can't help but make people feel sad - in this obscure confrontation, there was almost no winner, whether it was Sun Ce or his Sun Ce army
, or the Kodong aristocratic families who came to greet the god, or the onlookers who were the most innocent but were involved in this upper-class struggle.︾,
Of course, the most depressing thing among them should be the innocent magistrate of Lou County who was turned into a hedgehog by unexpected appearances one after another even though he kept trying to save his life - even though Sun Ce generously expressed that this matter had nothing to do with him afterwards.
It had nothing to do with him, and he even praised him for his work
Huang Xian, magistrate of Lou County despite his organizational talents but keen sense of smell, still submitted his resignation to Sun Ce, and after Sun Ce rejected it, he simply abandoned his official position and fled. As a result, he was "just" before he could escape the boundaries of Lou County.
The soldiers who appeared on the escape route were captured.
According to the official statement, Huang Xian, the mole who secretly communicated with the bandits, was accidentally discovered and captured by patrolling soldiers.
As for the facts, we don't know, but Huang Xian's family property in Lou County was confiscated very quickly.
As for the party that benefited from this "unexpected conflict", the old man with mysterious behavior could probably be regarded as the only winner, but he was also entangled by the "little bully" who commanded Jiangdong because of this. It was definitely not that easy to deal with.
However, considering his intention to seduce Sun Ce, perhaps this result was already within his expectation.
Nothing strange happened on the way back from Lou County to Wuxian County. However, Zhou Yu, who had been nervous all the way, felt a little exhausted. However, he had to work hard to hold on. He and Zhang Zhao and others jointly held a large-scale event.
He couldn't defeat Lou County, but he won in that there would be no blind people coming to make trouble. The triumphal entry into the city somewhat relieved Sun Ce's unhappiness.
Those children of the aristocratic families who were cheated in Lou County naturally appeared at the city entry ceremony under the coercion of Sun Cejun. To the powerful aristocratic families in Jiangdong, they showed their support for the growth of Sun Cejun's power, and to those families who were still neutral and stubborn
Send a clear signal - stop resisting, because you will soon become a minority and eventually disappear in the long river of history.
Sun Cejun's advisers didn't dare to vouch for whether this approach made sense, or how effective it would be, but at least one thing was certain. That was the children of the aristocratic families who appeared at the city's entry ceremony.
and the families behind them will definitely be labeled as Sun Cejun to some extent. In the future, they will naturally be ostracized by other families that still insist on confronting Sun Cejun. Even if they may be full of resentment towards Sun Ce's behavior, under the influence of interests,
It may not become a new boost.
This is an aboveboard conspiracy, even if those powerful families know that this is a huge trap, they have to jump into it.
After all, even though these Jiangdong aristocratic families seem to be united to advance and retreat together, everyone knows that before Sun Ce took over Jiangdong, there was a lot of nastiness between these families. Even if there was true betrayal between each other, it would definitely not be a shame.
Something unexpected.
As for the old Taoist from Langxie Palace named Yu Ji, he did not appear at the city entry ceremony this time.
He was released by Sun Ce who was extremely reluctant.
Well, since you are extremely reluctant, you should know how difficult it would have been for Sun Ce to give up his share of the spoils on Ji Laodao and participate in this city entry ceremony if it hadn't been for the persuasion of Sun Ce's good friend Zhou Yu.
difficulty.
Especially when Sun Ce noticed that the old Taoist he released was still as calm and calm as before, as if he didn't care at all about Sun Ce's threat to his life. He had already accumulated a lot.
Sun Ce's anger almost burned Sun Ce's reason once again. In that case, even with his good friend Zhou Yu by his side, he would be unable to do anything.
In any case, it can be said that we are thankful that the Lou County incident ended in a relatively peaceful ending.
Although even now, when Sun Ce hears that the Taoist Yu Ji who gave lectures in Lou County is still very popular, he will still show manic emotions, as if a certain bird can never eat a certain very fragrant stick.
Meat and bones are like wild dogs.
There was even a time when Zhou Yu had to consider whether he needed to invite the old lady out to calm the matter?
Soon, Zhou Yu discovered that this old Taoist named Yu Ji seemed to be Sun Ce's nemesis, and news about him kept reaching Sun Ce's ears like an unkillable weed. And every time news related to him appeared.
, and can trigger a new round of mood swings in Sun Ce. It is not an exaggeration to even have "three surprises in one day" at some point.
I always feel that it is really impossible to live like this.
Or is it true that Yu Ji (Yu Ji) is the ultimate destination of the Overlord, and a good gay friend cannot fight against his lover no matter what?
If you calculate it this way, it turns out that Sun Bofu is also a big bastard who values sex over friends.
The truth is to open that guy's head and see what's inside.
Occasionally in his free time, a handsome and elegant man, but a little gloomy due to his recent state of mind, can't help but think about some things that are somewhat out of character for him. Even if it's just a fleeting moment,
But I always feel as if I have done something hugely wrong. The feeling of betraying the friendship between each other is frightening but also has an alternative feeling. It constantly stimulates the man's sensitive nerves, that difficult feeling.
The well-known emotions are like maggots attached to the bones, making it difficult to get rid of them.
It seemed that this old Taoist priest who suddenly appeared and forcefully intervened in their lives had driven the two of them crazy.
"It seems that if this continues, the outcome will be very bad."
But the more he collected various information about the god who claimed to be Yu Ji, the more frightened Zhou Yu became.
This is definitely a more dangerous guy than Zhang Jiao!
The reason for this judgment was that Zhou Yu came to the conclusion after comparing it with some of Zhang Jiao's past.
Zhang Jiao's demonic attributes are already well known to the Han people today, and although his past is officially covered up, it is still widely circulated, especially the people led by Zhang Jiao.
Less than five years after the defeat of the rebellion, the once huge and majestic empire of the Han Dynasty entered chaos and turmoil. As a result, a lot of information had no time to be destroyed. As long as people are interested, they can always collect a lot of information from various channels.
Whether it is true or false news.
Not to mention that because of Li Shushi, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu originally cared more about Zhang Jiao than ordinary people.
Zhang Jiao's early background cannot be studied. Although there are many versions, many of which seem to be disparaging words. However, Zhou Yu feels that the other party should at least be a scholar from a poor family. After all, even if Zhang Jiao later obtained "The Art of Taiping"
》It’s really because of the so-called fairy
People teach. But if you want an illiterate adult to learn so many weird spells through Taoist books that are more obscure than ordinary classics, even if there may be such a legendary thing in the world, the probability of this is extremely small.
The existence of can also be completely attributed to impossible events.
As for the origin of Zhang Jiao's mysterious magic, there are probably many versions, but what Zhou Yu is more concerned about are two of them - one of which is naturally the legendary gift given by the Nanhua Immortal.
Three volumes of "
"Taiping Yaoshu" is a self-taught talent, and the other one is that Zhang Jiao somehow obtained the inheritance of the equally legendary Taoist book "Taiping Qingling Dao" from Langxie Palace through some means, and then learned from it.
Got an amazing skill.
Either of these two statements seems to have some truth. However, there are some flaws. However, the reason why Zhou Yu pays so much attention to these two statements is not without reason. You must know the reason why Zhang Jiao was able to accumulate before starting the rebellion.
He has gained enough fame, except for his knowledge of metaphysics and prophecy.
It is indeed quite outstanding, and the great scholars in the scholar community have to admire his achievements in this area. It is also because he often walks in the fields and ridges, and together with his disciples, he uses talisman water to treat ordinary people for free.
It has accumulated a huge reputation over time.
Finally, as his reputation grew, Taiping Dao, which he founded, was accepted by the then emperor Liu Hong. Although there was no such move as appointing him as a national teacher or a national religion, this lack of opposition can even be said to be secretly indulgent.
His attitude was enough to cause Taiping Dao to spread, or expand, like a prairie fire to every corner of the entire Han dynasty in a short period of time.
But at this time, in the land of Jiangdong, there once again appeared a person who was also good at using talisman water to save people, and at the same time, his ability in metaphysics and prophecy was even better than Zhang Jiaolai's. The most important thing was
Is this person or from the mysterious Langxie Palace in the legend related to Zhang Jiao? This really can't help but make Zhou Yu feel alert enough.
Is it possible that this Yu Ji is actually an enhanced version of Zhang Jiao that cannot be hidden?
Zhang Jiao has only been practicing Taoism for more than ten years, but he is already able to control people's hearts and cause a bloody storm in the land of the Han Dynasty. Now he is older, and his strength seems to be even more unpredictable because of the events in Lou County, and his identity is even more mysterious.
Zhang Jiao is probably at the level of master or even master-great-grandfather. He is an old monster who has been quite famous since Emperor Shun. This damn thing is going against the will of heaven!
And this is why Zhou Yu was so concerned about the first rumor about where Zhang Jiaoyi came from.
If part of Zhang Jiao's unpredictable abilities are said to be acquired from the "Essential Art of Taiping" rumored to be passed down by the old immortal Nan Hua, Zhou Yu felt that he might be able to do it a little bit.
Breathe a sigh of relief.
But if the first rumor is completely false, Zhang Jiao learned all his skills from Langxie Palace...
All the gods, Buddhas and ghosts, no matter what kind of immortal they are, come out and take away this old monster that troubles the relationship between these good friends. You let two "ordinary" humans deal with that kind of non-human level.
Existence is so funny!
Well, this is just Zhou Yu's impulse to flip the table when he thinks that he may be a little too excited for a moment. In fact, if he really confirms that his opponent is indeed some kind of old monster level existence, Zhou Yu after venting his anger,
Neither Sun Ce nor Sun Ce is the kind of coward who simply loses his fighting spirit. Stronger opponents will only inspire them to work harder to solve those difficulties.
Otherwise, with Sun Jian's death, internal will being shaken, and the dilemma of being surrounded by wolves from the outside, the Sun family would have collapsed long ago, instead of running across the Yangtze River as it is now, and seizing every day in order to make up for the disadvantage of being a latecomer.
However, the ambitious Zhang Jiao transformed the forces that gathered around him because of his past actions into war capabilities. How much damage was caused to the Han Dynasty, even after so many years, it still caused those who had experienced this incident.
People’s memories are still fresh, even if Zhou Yu himself is not
He had not experienced that turmoil. However, veteran generals such as Huang Gai and Cheng Pu were all witnesses of that incident, so Zhou Yu, who had a deep understanding of all this, naturally knew that if Yu Ji chose the same path as Zhang Jiao, then
What a disaster it will bring to Jiangdong.
Previously, he was unwilling to wave the butcher knife in his hand easily against this "celebrity" because killing him might cause great shock to Jiangdong. But when Zhou Yu found out that if he didn't kill this man, Jiangdong would have one more knife hanging at his fingertips.
With the Sword of Damocles above his head, even if Yu Ji is harmless to humans and animals, Jiang Dong will definitely keep him under his control.
Not to mention the place in Lou County where both Sun Ce and Zhou Yu clearly realized that the other party clearly lacked goodwill towards them.
Or to put it simply, the other party is full of malice towards Sun Cejun, and can even be said to be a relentless enemy.
"However, the more this happens, the less we can act at will. We must master enough information and strike with thunder. Otherwise, not only will we not be able to deal with the opponent, but Jiangdong will fall into huge chaos, and even our own party may fall into division.
"
Zhou Yu's admonishment to Sun Ce was not without purpose. In fact, only after truly investigating the other party did he know how far Yu Ji, who was full of malice towards them, had penetrated Jiangdong - not to mention that Lou County only heard his name.
and coming soon
To be continued...
