Chapter 1154(1/2)
According to the script, after Zhu Ju comes over for the banquet, Feng Duhu will talk about the armored cavalry trainee camp, following the topic of leasing the first batch of weapons and armor to Wu.
Then naturally they would talk about the training camp they had gone out for a few days ago.
When talking about this matter, it is natural to talk about what we saw and heard along the way.
At that time, some insinuations can further deepen Zhu Ju's psychological implications on the matter of immortality.
I never thought that as soon as Zhu Ju came up, he would punish himself with three cups of wine.
The twinkling eyes, the slightly guilty look, and the gesture of pouring the wine, it seems that if you ask more questions, I will get drunk and fall down on the spot.
This posture was such that even the far-sighted King Feng Gui didn't know how to proceed.
He was afraid that if the topic was carelessly mentioned, Zhu Ju would remain oblivious to human affairs.
After thinking about this, Feng Duhu carefully organized his words:
"General Zhu just said that Han and Wu are still allies and are fighting against the thieves. Lord Wu wants to build a cavalry army to resist Wei's elite cavalry, and has repeatedly sent envoys to Liaodong."
"In the past, the big man had no ability to help, so he could only do nothing. Now that the big man has rebuilt the racecourse, if he continues to stand by and watch, wouldn't he be an ally in vain?"
It's okay if Feng Duhu didn't say this, but when he said this, Zhu Ju felt even more ashamed.
If his maternal uncle (i.e. father-in-law) had not been the great emperor of the Wu Kingdom, he might have told the truth and returned the two books to Feng Duhu.
Obviously, that night, Feng Duhu's fellow disciples appeared around Chang'an, at least partly because of these two booklets.
Moreover, it can be known from what is said in "Insect Valley of Dian Kingdom" that Feng Duhu's sect should be on the sea to the east or south of Jiaozhou.
Da Wu was famous for his ability as a boat master.
In the past few years, His Majesty also sent people to sea and found some overseas islands.
If we follow the clues in the booklet based on this, we can probably find Feng Duhu's sect.
When the time comes, by returning these two books in the name of Emperor Wu, I think I will be able to win the favor of the Hidden Immortal Sect.
Even if Feng Duhu’s overseas disciple cannot be found, isn’t there still a fellow disciple in the world?
Anyway, as long as you have these two books in hand, you may have a chance to establish a relationship with the legendary hidden immortal sect.
The Immortal Sect has the magnanimity of an Immortal, so how can it be so embarrassing to take advantage of it in vain?
Not to mention sending out the disciples from the sect to assist Zuo Dawu to achieve great things.
Even if you can get some knowledge that can help the world, that’s enough!
If you don't see it, even the abandoned disciples can make waves in the world...
With the thought of "for His Majesty's great cause", Zhu Ju could only choose to pretend to be deaf and dumb when faced with Feng Duhu's earnest words.
"These words show how broad-minded Feng Duhu is!" Zhu Ju raised his glass in toast, "Ju Ju thinks he is far inferior. This cup is a private tribute to Feng Duhu!"
Your mother!
Can you talk properly?
How many words have I spoken since I sat down?
How many drinks have you had?
Feng Duhu almost couldn't hold himself back and wanted to make a fuss.
You turned a blind eye when you were supposed to cooperate with me in my performance!
Taking a deep breath, Feng Duhu forced a smile:
"General Zhu deserves the award. I'm just trying my best to defeat the thieves."
"Come here, play music and dance!"
We can't talk any more.
Then just watch the dance and listen to the song.
I originally thought about spreading more materials and building a good nest to facilitate catching big fish.
Unexpectedly, the big fish couldn't wait to swallow the bait and hook.
The singers borrowed from Liu Yan's house can't be wasted, so let's go through the motions first.
Feng Duhu raised his glass and drank, then glanced sideways at Zhu Ju→_→
Forget it, to give you face, tonight will be a pure banquet.
Time soon came to October of the second year of Yanxi, and two major events happened in the Kingdom of Wu.
The first thing was that the important minister Pan Jun died of illness.
Pan Jun was the Taichang of the Wu State and was highly trusted by Sun Quan.
When Cao Rui was still alive, he wanted to plot the land of Hanzhong in Jihan. He first sent the Yinfan from Death to the Kingdom of Wu, and then secretly sent people to stir up Wuxi barbarians to cause rebellion.
It was intended to delay the Wu State and prevent it from supporting the Shu State. Unfortunately, Feng turned around and Cao Rui and Cao Zhen finally broke their dreams in Xiaoguan.
However, Cao Rui's layout did cause some trouble for Wu State.
Not only was everyone in the Wu court in danger, they were also afraid of being implicated by Yinfan.
Moreover, Sun Quan still had to find a way to get someone to lead the army to quell the chaos in Jingnan.
Finally, it was decided to grant Pan Jun Fu Jie and let him supervise the army and work with Lu Dai to put down the Wuxi Rebellion.
Fortunately, Pan Jun rewarded and punished appropriately. In a few years, he killed and captured tens of thousands of people. Since then, the Wuxi barbarians have gradually declined.
After Wuling and other counties in the south of Jingzhou were stabilized, Pan Jun returned to Wuchang and jointly took charge of Jingzhou affairs with Lu Xun.
It can be said that Pan Jun has a great reputation in several counties in the south of Jingzhou.
His death caused quite a stir in the south of Jingzhou.
Precisely at this time, there was a rebellion by the Yi people in Jiaozhou, which was also the second major event.
Logically speaking, if there is rebellion in Jiaozhou, it would be most appropriate to send Lu Dai to quell the rebellion.
After all, it was he who put down the Jiaozhou Scholar Family Rebellion back then.
Moreover, he has been guarding Jiaozhou for several years and is most familiar with it.
But Lu Dai is already very old, nearly eighty years old.
In addition, Pan Jun's death was untimely, so Lu Dai, who originally led the army stationed in Puqi (i.e. Xianning, Hubei), was transferred to Wuchang to take Pan Jun's place.
Therefore, Sun Quan could only choose someone else and let General Jiang Mi lead the army to quell the rebellion.
However, for Wu State, it has always been a common thing for the barbarians in the south to cause chaos.
Fortunately, the situation has improved over the years.
After all, first Pan Jun defeated the five barbarians of Jingzhou, and then Zhuge Ke defeated the Yue people of Danyang.
Like this time, the rebellion in Jiaozhou was unable to be quelled by the local government, and troops and horses needed to be mobilized to quell the rebellion. The momentum was already considerable.
Even so, there's no need to worry too much.
Because most of the time the barbarians have crude weapons and no organization, as soon as the regular army arrives, they are like snow meeting the scorching sun.
There is nothing wrong with this idea, and the reality is basically the same.
But just be afraid of everything.
This time, something unexpected happened.
The reason lies not with the rebellious barbarians in Jiaozhou, but with the internal affairs of the Wu army.
The coach, Jiang Mi, had two brothers under his command, named Liao Shi and Liao Qian.
The two brothers followed Secretary Jiang to Jiaozhou and were halfway through pacifying the chaos. After learning that Pan Jun had died of illness, Liao Qian said to Liao Shi:
"In my opinion, the only one who can make peace with the state of Wu is Lü Dai. Now that Pan Jun has died of illness, Lü Dai has taken his place. However, he is approaching an old age. Since ancient times, how many people have survived in their eighties?"
"Besides, even if Lu Dai does not die, how can he lead the army at such an old age? If Lu Dai does not come, who in Wu State can serve Jiaozhou? This is a great opportunity."
At that time, Shi Hui, the son of Shi Xie, was in rebellion in the state. Lu Dai promised the rebels that if they surrendered voluntarily, they would protect their family property.
Who would have expected that when they believed Lu Dai's promise and surrendered, they were all executed by Lu Dai for regretting their promise.
The main figures of the scholar family who did not participate in the rebellion were all demoted to common people, and a few years later they were killed with the excuse that they had violated the law.
The Shi family, which had been operating in Jiaozhou for decades, was uprooted by Lu Dai.
These actions of Lu Dai also greatly frightened the local snakes in Jiaozhou.
When Liao Qian said this at this time, the implication was already obvious.
Liao Shi's heart suddenly pounded, but he still hesitated:
"We are not the commander-in-chief of the army. I am afraid that the soldiers will not be willing to obey orders."
Liao Qian smiled contemptuously:
"Secretary Jiang, you are just a mediocre person, so what should you be afraid of? Besides, at this time, civil unrest is raging in all the counties in Jiaozhou, and they are constantly being suppressed. The barbarians are still able to separate the counties, but what about us?"
"Jiaozhou is far away from the heart, and the road is blocked and dangerous. If this thing can really be done, even if Zhao Tuo cannot do it, then it is not impossible to do it as a scholar."
