In the entire Han Dynasty, chaos broke out not only in the areas north of the river, but also in the areas south of the river, as if it had been agreed upon.
Dozens of armored cavalry and hundreds of armored infantry walked on the streets of Wu County. In the queue, in addition to the proud Lu Yi, there was also Lu Xun who always lowered his head.
At the end of the queue, there were scoldings and cries from time to time. It was the soldiers who were impatiently scolding the prisoners in the last few prison cars.
As soon as Sun Quan came back, Lu Yi started to tremble.
At the same time, Lu Yi also submitted a large amount of evidence of "mutual collusion" between Jiangdong nobles when Sun Quan was not in Wu County, such as abnormal personnel exchanges at certain times, the appearance and disappearance of unidentified people, etc. Of course, in these evidences
Some of them did happen, but some were fabricated by Lu Yi. But the problem is that no one except Lu Yi knows how much water these contain...
Coupled with the passive resistance, silence and sabotage of the four Jiangdong families in the early stage, Sun Quan naturally had reason to become furious and began to personally send people to kill him. He also mobilized his close soldiers and stationed them around Wu Commandery, and also prepared swords, guns, swords and halberds.
Utensils, etc. If you think about it, you will know what will happen next if everyone dares to say no.
Although Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong and others are also nobles, they are considered Jiangbei faction. Therefore, when Sun Quan was watching the Jiangdong nobles doing things, he did not want to make him angry, so he pretended to be extremely busy by doing some external affairs.
This way you can avoid certain things by pretending that you cannot see or hear them.
Among all the clans in Jiangdong, the Lu family is considered the weakest, so the first to surrender was Lu Xun. Then Sun Quan sent Lu Yi to work with him to eliminate and arrest those who were said to be involved in the "assassination of Sun Fu".
Jiangdong's wealthy gentry, and those arrested later revealed more accomplices...
Lu Yi's eyebrows were full of excitement, and he was gesticulating and issuing orders, while Lu Xun remained silent and asked no questions, just like a wood carving. He would go wherever he was told, and just say no if he was asked to express his opinion. Everything would be obeyed by the group... eh
, the boss arranged it, whatever Lu Yi said, it was whatever he said.
This attitude certainly made Lu Yi very comfortable, and even felt that Lu Xun was very sensible.
Arrested here and there, Jiangdong is now in a state of panic. They don’t know when they will be implicated, and they don’t know how long they will last or how long they can hold out...
But Lu Yi's good mood did not last long. Soon he discovered that there were some tough soldiers guarding him in front of Sun Quan's government office. There were long tail feathers on the saddle, and he smelled of iron and blood, but there was no trace of it.
Even after many battles, Lu Yi could smell it.
"This... this... looks like a governor's guard..." Lu Yi rolled his eyes, "Quick! Go back to the official office!"
When Zhou Yu came, he definitely didn't come to have tea and chat with Sun Quan.
Sun Quan let Lu Yi go, so Lu Yi's affairs were a bit rough. But now that Zhou Yu is here, once the evidence of Lu Yi's arrest during this period of time is investigated, he must at least do it more decently and not be fooled casually.
Lu Xun, who was behind Lu Yi, seemed to have raised his head at this moment and looked at the entrance of Sun Quan's government office. Something seemed to flash in his eyes, and then he lowered his head again, as if there was nothing there.
Seeing it, it’s like not knowing anything.
Ignore Lu Yi who is rushing to check and make up for the mistakes, let's just talk about Zhou Yu.
After Zhou Yu arrived at Wu County, he found that the situation had deteriorated. Zhou Yu was not as awesome as described in later Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and in Mr. Luo's writing, Zhou Yu's existence was to support Brother Zhu, so...
…
After arriving at Wu Commandery, Zhou Yu immediately visited Mrs. Wu, and then rushed to Sun Quan.
Sun Quan did not want to see Zhou Yu because he also knew that nothing good would happen if he met Zhou Yu, but he had to meet because Zhou Yu not only came by himself, but also brought a note written by Mrs. Wu.
Sun Quan calmly read Mrs. Wu's note and pretended to be calm, but the sweat on his temples seemed to reveal some problems.
Sun Quan put the note back into the box and put it on the desk. He looked at Zhou Yu and forced a smile, "Why is the governor here?"
Zhou Yu said with a cold face: "Seeing that everyone is bound by the lord, I came here to ask for death. The lord wants to kill the scholar-officials to establish his authority, so he invites his ministers to do so."
Sun Quan's expression changed, and then he forced a smile, "The governor really loves to joke... He is not a person who likes to kill, how can there be any reason to kill indiscriminately..."
Zhou Yu sneered and said: "Who believes it? It's easy to kill, who can replace it? From now on, no one can use the Sun family... I heard that the Spring and Autumn Period passed down the country, and there were very few people who enjoyed the Three Epochs. Now we can see that
Lord, you will know that his words are also good!"
Sun Quan gradually stopped laughing and stared, "What do you mean, Commander?"
Zhou Yu shook his head and said, "Why don't you mean something, but what does your lord mean? Jiangdong is located in a remote corner, and it is difficult to compete with the Central Plains. If you want to develop your hegemony, you need to work together and work together. Who is not who?"
Who has more and who has less, must we determine the internal and external levels before we can act?"
Sun Quan finally couldn't hold it any longer and said seductively: "If you can't decide what is right and what is wrong, how can you do anything?!"
Zhou Yu looked at Sun Quan as if he were looking at a lump of elm wood, "There are high and low levels of water, and there are five tones of sound. Which one is high and which one is low? Who is right and who is wrong? There are countless heroes in the world today. They are all trembling and working day and night."
Day, don't dare to be negligent in the slightest, so that you can find a place to stay and a place to show your ambitions. The Lord will inherit the great cause and have virtuous ministers to assist you. You should focus on meritocracy and master the balance! How can you not feel comfortable?
Are you planning to kill and eliminate dissidents? When the time comes, won’t your lord be afraid that future generations will follow suit?”
"Who dares?!" Sun Quan shouted angrily.
Zhou Yu remained expressionless, "Please, my lord, ask me directly... What is the purpose of Jiangdong's pursuit of the Sun family's foundation in the future?! If my lord behaves like this, will Jiangdong become better, or... It must be noted that Jiangdong is trying to make up for it before it is too late."
, It’s not too late...”
"I know about this!" Sun Quan slapped the table angrily, "Why are you all ignoring me? It's just that I'm not! Jiangdong, Jiangdong's foundation! How come I don't know about Jiangdong's foundation! If I want to take Jingzhou, I will
There is no preparation here, and there is no safety there! If someone wants to conquer South Vietnam, he cannot use it here, and he cannot advance there! No matter what he wants to do, there is a lot of opposition! This is not good, and that is not good either!
Could this be the great cause of Jiangdong? Is this the future of the Sun family?"
Zhou Yu quietly stopped Sun Quan from finishing speaking, and then said: "Then, my lord, have you ever thought about why the ministers have objections to what your lord has mentioned?"
"What?" Sun Quan was stunned for a moment.
Zhou Yu continued: "In the past, Yuan Jiujiu sent people to assassinate Cao Mengde... It was a low-level strategy. Everyone advised him not to use it. However, Yuan Jiujiao insisted on going his own way. If he killed Cao Mengde, the world would be determined. Kill one person.
That’s it, why bother to mobilize thousands of troops? This matter...does my lord think so?"
Sun Quan couldn't help but secretly wiped his sweat.
"The important events of the country are in the army and in the sacrifices. They are all dignified, how can we be stubborn?" Zhou Yu seemed not to have seen Sun Quan's little move, "If Yuan Gongdao can really assassinate Cao Mengde, maybe the Cao family will fall apart. From then on, Yuan Gongdao can wield his power."
The army went north to invade Yuzhou... However, it is more likely that the Cao family and the Xiahou family all became mourning soldiers, and someone among them was the leader, and they all went out to fight to the death! In this way, there will be many losses in victory, and all will be lost in defeat! This kind of strategy,
What's the benefit?"
"Yuan Jiujiu only saw the advantages and did not realize the disadvantages. He was eager for success, which made him self-defeating, and many people betrayed him...Yuan Jiujiu especially did not know how to repent, and insisted on overstepping the imperial system, trying to eliminate the resentment of everyone in the name of righteousness, and achieve peace.
What will happen to the anger of the nobles? They will die on the road..." Zhou Yu looked at Sun Quan and said, "Even if Yuan Gongdao wins and sits in Yuzhou, can he conquer the world? How will the world regard him? How can he conquer it?
Will the people follow the will of the people? If the officials under Yuan Gongliu know that their master is secretive, makes dangerous plans, deceives people's hearts, and is greedy for power..."
"That's enough!" Sun Quan shouted, stopping Zhou Yu's words.
Zhou Yu sat and looked at Sun Quan quietly.
Sun Quan stood up, walked back and forth twice before standing still, waving his arms, "Be upright, why don't you want to be upright? But how can you be upright when surrounded by monsters and demons?"
"Yes!" Zhou Yu said decisively.
"What should we do? Tell us!" Sun Quan stared at Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu slowly said four words, "Just like a hussar!"
"..." Sun Shiwan suddenly didn't know what to say...
……(￣□￣)#……
In the desert.
Everything was quiet all around.
Liu He looked up at the sky. There was a bright moon in the sky, which was extremely cold.
Victory requires continuous accumulation and careful maintenance, but failure is just a moment of negligence, which is a complete collapse.
Is it fair?
What's unfair?
Next to Liu He stood Xian Yufu.
Xian Yufu was more or less aware that his brother was probably in danger, and he was injured and looked somewhat miserable. He just looked at Liu He's back silently, sighed for a long time, and then stepped forward and said:
"Sir, it's night, please rest..."
Liu He remained silent.
Xian Yufu paused for a moment, and then said: "Winning or losing is common for military strategists. As long as we go to General Zhao or General Hussar again, there will be no chance..."
Liu He looked back with tears streaming down his face, "How many times can a man be defeated in his life? In such troubled times, how many chances can he have if everything is precarious?"
Liu He originally thought that he was only one step away from his father's position, and he was about to sit on it, but he was kicked down. Moreover, at the moment when he was most proud, something suddenly changed. This kind of blow was particularly severe.
It was heavy and uncomfortable, and I couldn't help myself for a moment, so I couldn't help but express my feelings.
Xian Yufu fell silent and lowered his head.
The expressions of the remaining soldiers around him also changed somewhat.
Liu He suddenly felt a chill down his spine. Then he looked back and saw some of his subordinates avoiding his gaze and hiding in the shadows. He was startled and realized something was wrong with him, so he hurriedly
Wiping the tears on his face, he took two steps forward and said loudly, "In the past, my father rode into Youzhou alone and conquered Mobei. Even though I was unworthy, I should be proud of it! I swear here, if
For the rest of my life, I will never be able to ride across the desert again, traversing the deep north. It will be like this knife, rotting with the soil!"
After saying that, Liu He took out the sword from his waist and stabbed it into the ground in front of him!
While the sword was shaking wildly, Liu He had already turned around and strode away, "Man, you can be sad for a moment, but you can't be sad forever! In the desert, we don't know who will die! Let's rest early today, and we will go to the mountains tomorrow!"
No matter it is a big boss or a small boss, the most taboo thing is to lose the goal and not know what to do or what to do in the future. Liu He almost fell into death, but fortunately he woke up quickly
Otherwise, there is no guarantee what will happen.
Seeing that Liu He had recovered a little, Xian Yufu and others looked at each other, their faces became somewhat brighter, and they quickly followed Liu He forward...
Liu He was boosting his morale here, but in the north of Youzhou, Kebi Neng felt quite relieved. It could be said that the road had turned around, and he had once again found a bloody road through the poor mountains and rivers!
The Xianbei people seem to have hope again!
Although Kirby and Cao Chun can temporarily join forces, it can be regarded as achieving the first phase goal, but how the two parties will cooperate next and how they will work together in the future, there are also many follow-up projects that need to be discussed. Today,
The two parties agreed to meet and discuss together.
The cavalry led by Cao Chun were all wearing iron armor and capes. They were riding on horseback. The slight collision of the armor plates caused a series of killing sounds. Although Kirby's men and horses were not necessarily as well-equipped as Cao Jun's
, but each of them has a sturdy figure, a ferocious appearance, and white air rises in the air, giving them a unique aura.
Kirby Neng stared at Cao Chun, with some complicated expressions in his eyes, but soon, Kirby Neng concealed these emotions, laughed and walked forward, "I have heard about General Cao a long time ago."
The reputation is indeed true when I see it today!"
Cao Chun curled up his lips slightly, and then he also laughed, "I have long wanted to meet King Xianbei, but I have never had a suitable opportunity. Today, I got my wish, I am very happy, haha..."
Although the words of the two people are so clichéd, and there is no real emotion at all, this is a necessary procedure, and they still have to say these few words.
Cao Chun knew some Xianbei language, and Ke Bi Neng also knew some Chinese. Together with the translator around him, there were generally no problems in communicating with each other.
After the two sat down, Cao Chun waved his hand and signaled his entourage to give the gifts, "Ten sets of battle armor and twenty hundred-refined battle knives are all of the highest quality. They are considered small gifts to meet each other and are not respectful."
.』
Ten sets of armor and twenty war knives seem to be a lot when they are laid out, but in fact they have to be divided among the Xianbei people. Isn’t it true that each person can only get a small piece? So in fact these things
Most of it still fell into Kirby's hands, and Cao Chun didn't mean to let Kirby take advantage, but he wanted Kirby to be a vanguard to consume Pingbei General Zhao Yun's power and equipment.
A little, maybe you can consume more?
Kirby laughed loudly and seemed very satisfied with these gifts. On the one hand, he waved his hands to put away the armor and sword, and on the other hand, he also asked people to fetch the gifts he gave to Cao Chun...
When Cao Chun got Kirby's gift in his hand, he couldn't help but frown slightly.
A bowl inlaid with gold and silver.
Bone bowl.
Even though it is inlaid with gold and silver, it is still a bowl of bones, just like a fighter jet among garbage is still garbage.
To be precise, this bone bowl should be the skull of some unlucky guy. It was made into such a bowl by Kirby's craftsmen. In the gaps between the bones, there seemed to be some unremoved bones.
Fishy smell...
"This is made from the heads of the lobbyists who came that day!" Kirby laughed loudly, "I will drink from this bowl today, and tomorrow I will drink from the heads of more traitors!"
"General Cao! Please!" Kirby poured a bowl and delivered it to Cao Chun.
The kumiss, which originally had a fishy smell, was poured into the skull where the smell of blood remained, and the smell started to rise after scratching it...
Cao Chun couldn't help but frown a little.
Kirby Neng laughed and took his hand back, "General Cao, is he suspicious that the wine is poisonous? Don't worry, I have always been upright and never do anything like a despicable person!"
After saying that, Kirby could easily pick up the wine bowl, drank a gulp, then poured a second bowl, and handed it to Cao Chun again, "How is it? Are you relieved?"
Cao Chun's eyes twitched.
Not as good as the previous bowl!
Now also add Kirby’s saliva!
Cao Chun took the wine bowl from the skull very boldly, and then put it to his mouth with a big grin. He raised his neck and poured it down. It looked like he drank. In fact, Cao Chun kept his mouth closed, and most of them poured it down.
Then he was worried that Kirby could continue to pour the wine, so he wiped his mouth and handed the skull wine bowl to his guard, "Very good! Very good! This thing will be handed over to the lord!"
Kirby Neng laughed and seemed very satisfied with Cao Chun's actions...
The gifts have been received and the drinks have been drunk, but it doesn't mean that there are no other things to do, or that all problems can be solved.
The dispersed Wuhuan people, the escaped Liu He, and even General Pingbei stationed in Changshan are the focus of the next stage, and are also the core issues for mutual discussion between Cao Chun and Kebineng.
But on this core issue, the two people inevitably had differences.
Cao Chun naturally hopes that Kirby can serve as a pioneer to consume the power of General Pingbei, but Kirby is more eager to regain a foothold in the Youbei Desert, but has little interest in attacking Changshan immediately.
The foundation of mutual cooperation before was about to collapse. The more the two people talked, the more unhappy they became. They both felt that the other party did not consider the problem from their own standpoint, and only knew how to keep making requests for this or that...
…
Just when the two were about to fall out, the sudden information made the two put aside their disputes again.
