This was the first time Lu Xun served as the envoy to Jiangdong.
After the civilian government and military united their opinions, many things became simpler.
Young people always like to overestimate themselves and face the world optimistically. This is not a bad thing, and this is also a rare quality and remaining innocence of young people. Then young people will be exposed again and again in front of the cold society.
He slapped his mouth again and again, until he began to lose the optimism and innocence in his hands, and began to curl up his fists and raise them up to cover his face.
Most young people cannot taste the "caress" of society until they leave their families, but Lu Xun does not need that.
Because Lu Xun lost his parents when he was very young, he could directly feel the wind and rain from all directions even in his family.
Children whose parents have died are generally miserable.
Generally speaking, such children do not have a good future, but a few who have withstood the pressure and grow up will be even more amazing than children of the same age.
Like Zhuge, like Lu Xun.
The days of living under someone else's roof will become a motivation for these people.
The difficulty of relying on others will become the soil for these people to mature.
At least Lu Xun understood immediately that his identity was an important reason for becoming Jiangdong's envoy this time...
And he must make good use of this status.
young people.
Lu Xun is not reckless, but he can pretend to be reckless. After all, as a young man, it is understandable to be reckless.
Cao Cao and Sun Quan have now generally become allies against Chang'an Feiqian. They are in the honeymoon period with each other. They have not only increased the intensity of trade, but also provided more convenience for maintaining communication between the two parties.
When Lu Xun came to Xu County, he was allowed to go all the way. He would not set up checkpoints and checkpoints everywhere like before.
Therefore, Lu Xun acted very anxiously, as if the Jiangdong Allied Forces had suffered a defeat and were in urgent need of Cao Jun's help.
Of course, if Cao Jun tried to inquire, Lu Xun would flatly deny it.
Lu Xun knew that because of the lack of information, ordinary people mostly believed what others said, because they could only receive this information. Relatively speaking, people with higher positions and more information did not like to listen to others.
Believe what you are told. These people prefer to believe what they see and hear...
Lu Xun just gave these people a chance to "see" and "listen" for themselves.
So not long after Lu Xun arrived in Xu County, there were vague rumors that although Jiangdong had won in Yi Dao, he had lost in the process of advancing.
Especially with Lu Xun's eagerness to meet with Prime Minister Cao Cao, this rumor seemed to be a little more credible.
Standing on the shoulders of historical giants, future generations will know what Lu Xun was, but how could people in Xu County think that Lu Xun would become the governor of Jiangdong in the future?
An orphan whose parents both died, a young man who was pushed to the margins, an envoy who took on the responsibility of being an envoy for the first time and had no experience, a son of a noble family with a slightly irritable character but a good education, these are what Lu Xun gave himself.
Then he hid under these coats and coldly observed the people in Xu County.
The soldiers of Cao's army are very bright, and their behavior is strictly regulated. They are very serious when on duty, unlike the soldiers of Jiangdong who like to get together and chatter. Of course, the equipment will be better than that of Jiangdong's soldiers, and they will be equipped with iron armor and other things.
A corps commander, but in Jiangdong, even a commander may not be able to have a piece of iron armor.
Of course, there are also climate and environmental factors involved. After all, Jiangdong is hot and there are many naval forces. If it is fully equipped with iron armor, it is not necessary to say whether it will become a weight if it accidentally falls into the water. Just the maintenance of the armor in ordinary days,
I'm afraid it will take a lot of time, and there will be much higher losses than in the north...
Lu Xun just envied the morale and training of Cao's soldiers in Xu County, and he was also aware of two other problems. This was Xu County, and perhaps Cao's soldiers in other places were not as sophisticated as those here.
Another problem made Lu Xun even more worried, because even such a sophisticated Cao army was still suppressed by the hussar general...
As for the officials in Xu County, the top ones are very smart, but the middle and lower levels...
If you come with great arrogance, you must bring a servant or entourage with you to introduce you, "This person is so-and-so..."
Families holding official positions and titles are eager to add whatever they can to their heads.
Every time at this time, Lu Xun would act very surprised, and then salute respectfully, "It's actually so-and-so! Bribe, bribe!"
Well, that's right. By the way, I added some Jiangdong local specialties, and then these officials would immediately become more friendly, saying that Lu Xun had just arrived in Xu County and was not used to the customs. He could rest more and so on. He would naturally understand when the Prime Minister was free.
Summoned Lu Xun.
Lu Xun still looked stupid and answered.
He knew Cao Cao was stalling.
The reason for the delay is not complicated, it is that Cao Cao has not made up his mind.
Different from the inexplicable sense of geographical superiority inherent in Jiangdong, Cao Cao, who was located in the Central Plains area of the Four Battles, especially after being stabbed in the back again and again, could not be careless.
This is very interesting...
Because Lu Xun discovered that on Cao Cao's side, the upper, middle and lower levels were completely disconnected.
People at the top are very cautious and smart, like tigers and leopards. They usually don't appear openly and don't waste their energy easily. They always lie down in the grass, hiding murderous intentions.
The ones in the middle layer are like dogs. There are obedient and disobedient dogs. If there is dog food, they will never give up until it is eaten clean. The only thing they care about very much is their own dog bowl, which they guard at all times and move toward.
Every guy who came near bared his teeth.
The people of the lower class are not even as good as dogs.
Of course, Jiangdong is not much better.
It's just that the situation of people's livelihood and political affairs in Xu County is somewhat inconsistent with Cao Cao's military performance...
There are two clogs, one of which is old and very worn, while the other one is new. Although it can still be worn and walked on, it is just a bit weird and does not match well, with different heights.
As for Jiangdong, both clogs were rotten, and only the navy one had a brighter surface, as if a new layer of paint had been applied to the old clogs.
On the fifth day after Lu Xun arrived in Xu County, Cao Cao finally gave the order to meet Lu Xun.
The Prime Minister's Mansion is grand and magnificent, with bright flags.
Whether they are soldiers in the hall or on the steps, they are all mighty and majestic, with shining armor and stomachs.
Lu Xun did not look away and calmly stepped forward to pay homage to Cao Cao. His etiquette was strict, standard and impeccable.
Then the two parties entered into the boring but necessary phase of greeting each other, just like the New Year's greetings in later generations. First they changed from phone calls to text messages, and then from text messages to WeChat, and then they had no choice but to check in on DingTalk...
Now that Lu Xun was meeting Cao Cao for the first time, he couldn't help but glance at Cao Cao briefly, and then quickly lowered his eyelids, pretending to be a good boy.
Cao Cao would also look at Lu Xun and estimate his weight.
Cao Cao squinted his famous little eyes, half-smiling, and after the polite greetings, his beard moved slightly. Liu Ye, who was in charge of foreign affairs at the side, smiled and said loudly: "Lu
Could it be that the envoy came here to report some good news from Jiangdong?"
good news?
The victory gained in Jiangdong at the Yi Road can indeed be said to be good news, but it is nothing more than that.
Lu Xun blinked and understood. Although he was in Jiangdong, he had more or less heard about some of the previous disputes between Cao Cao and Fei Qian. Although Cao Cao's side claimed to have won a great victory in Jingzhou and held a grand
The celebration, well, the so-called victory celebration is not just once in Jingzhou, but the actual situation is not exactly the same as what the official claimed. To put it simply, the battle between Yi and Dao can be said to have lasted for such a long time.
The only major defeat on the frontal battlefield.
As for Cao Cao, who had fought against Fei Qian many times in Xu County, they failed to defeat Fei Qian, but let Jiangdong take the lead. Even if they could comfort themselves by saying that they were a navy army, not a cavalry army, everyone knew it.
, in the face of iron and blood, such self-comfort is like a manual transmission, empty and lonely...
Lu Xun smiled slightly, with a hint of reserve and shyness common among young people, "There is indeed good news, and I would like to congratulate you, the Prime Minister."
Liu Ye was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes drifted to the side, without stopping to say, "This...could it be that your army has won another great victory?"
"Exactly." Lu Xun pretended not to see Liu Ye's eyes fluttering, then turned to Cao Cao and said sternly, "Prime Minister, my lord has successfully marched westward and conquered another city. Now the army has been advancing one after another, and it won't be long."
Dingyufu.』
Cao Cao narrowed his eyes slightly and was noncommittal.
The smile on Liu Ye's face froze. He was not focused on military matters. Although he showed some concern on weekdays, he didn't say he cared about it particularly. Therefore, when Lu Xun said this, Liu Ye didn't know whether it was true or not, and couldn't continue to respond.
.If you say you know, it is equivalent to admitting that Jiangdong has won another victory, and your boss Cao will look even worse. If you say you don’t know, not to mention the suspicion that some information is delayed, it may also reveal your own cowardice.
Come.
Guo Jia, who was sitting next to Liu Ye, seemed to raise his hand casually and stroked his beard.
Cao Cao nodded slightly.
Liu Ye understood immediately and chuckled, "If that's the case, it's really gratifying."
Lu Xun's eyes lingered on Guo Jia for a moment, and then turned to Cao Cao, "Prime Minister, the foreign ministers heard that in the past, when the husband of Yangmen's husband died, Sichengzi rarely came in and wept, so he couldn't attack him. In ancient times, there was a theory of sharing the same hatred with the enemy.
, let alone today? I, the lord of Jiangdong, requested hundreds of medical clinics with great earnestness, hoping that the hundreds of doctors could assist the dying and save the dying. However, the hussar refused, which fully shows his hypocritical benevolence and reputation. Poetry
There is a saying, "Why should there be any people who are in peril? We should beg for help; if the people are in mourning, we should crawl on our knees to save them." I wonder what the Prime Minister's intention is?"
The expression on Cao Cao's face seemed to have remained unchanged, "I already know Lu Shijun's intention."
Cao Cao neither nodded in agreement nor raised objections, but just expressed his understanding.
This made Luo Wei a little anxious.
If he was just here to inform Cao Cao about the progress of the Jiangdong navy, would Lu Xun need to make such a special trip?
And if Lu Xun really wanted Cao Cao to say "I know", what would he say when he returned to Jiangdong?
Lu Xun took a long breath. He knew that he was still a little younger and not calm enough. He threw out the cards too early, allowing the cunning Cao Cao to see some of the truth.
Don't give up because of this!
"Prime Minister," he took a breath one after another, and he was ready to go head-on, "foreign ministers also know that the prime minister and the hussar have their own victories and defeats. I wonder if there is any good advice and magic that can be passed on to Jiangdong and taught to foreign ministers?"
As soon as Lu Xun said this, the atmosphere in the hall immediately became tense. Many generals from the Cao family and the Xiahou family, including Guo Jiacheng Yu and others, focused their attention on Lu Xun.
If we talk about the dispute between Cao Cao and Fei Qian, most of the wins are on Fei Qian's side, and most of the losses are on Cao Cao's side. It can indeed be said that Cao Cao and Fei Qian "each have his own victory or defeat."
So as Cao Cao, who has suffered a lot of "negatives", what tips and experiences can he impart to Jiang Dong? Is it possible to talk about how to form an "alliance under the city"?
So when Lu Xun said this, it immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of many generals of the Cao family and the Xiahou family. If Cao Cao hadn't glanced at him in time and smoothed his hands, it is impossible to say that someone would have jumped up on the spot...
Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and stared at Lu Xun. He did originally look down on Lu Xun. After all, old classmate Cao didn't even look down on Zhou Yu. He just thought that Sun Shiwan, a prodigal, had the charm of his son, so how could he replace Zhou Yu?
Does Lu Xun, who is just sitting on the bench now, favor him?

Of course, if Zhou Yu or Lu Xun expressed their willingness to switch to Cao Cao, Cao Cao would immediately show a different face and let them feel the warmth of spring and the enthusiasm of summer. But whether it was Zhou Yu or Lu Xun,
It is obviously impossible to "abandon the dark and turn to the light", so Cao Cao's attitude is naturally indifferent.
After all, others usually licked Cao Cao. When Cao Cao really licked someone, it was only once or twice.
Lu Xun didn't rank at all.
But now Cao Cao re-examines Lu Xun.
Apart from anything else, this person is a bit brave...
Considered a talent.
Of course, Cao Cao knew what Lu Xun said before about sharing the same hatred with the enemy, but this does not mean that Cao Cao will follow Jiang Dong's wishes. If Lu Xun was only obedient today and was sent away with just a few words, Cao Cao would really
I no longer look down on Lu Xun. Even if I meet Lu Xun in the future, I will not take him seriously.
What Cao Cao wanted was dominance.
Even if Jiangdong won, Cao Cao still took the lead.
This is indeed the case at the moment. Even if Jiangdong wins the naval victory, what will happen? Will Jiangdong's army always stay on the ship and never get off the ship? After getting off the ship, in the vast mountains and forests in Sichuan and Shu, Jiangdong's navy will
What other advantages could there be?
The power of the hussar was not in the navy from the beginning. In this case, Jiangdong defeated the hussar with its own strength, how much can it be worth boasting about? Or maybe it was just two or three games.
After the victory in the naval battle, you want to in turn dictate Cao Cao's military affairs? This is obviously impossible, and Cao Cao would not agree at all.
This is the biggest and most fundamental point of difference in interests between the two parties.
"If it's a good strategy, I can't say it. As for good words, there may be two words..." Cao Cao said slowly, looking at Lu Xun who was pretending to be well-behaved, he said meaningfully, "It's just 'caution'."
Lu Xun muttered these two words subconsciously. He couldn't react at first, but then he was stunned!
Cao Cao waved his hand, "That's it for today! As for the matter between the two families, we will discuss it next time."
When Cao Cao spoke, even though Lu Xun was full of words, he couldn't say it out. After all, this is not a TV movie. When the character is performing, everyone else must listen quietly and keep the reception clean and accurate. And now this is the Prime Minister's Mansion.
When Cao Cao said that he didn't want to listen to what was being said one after another, Lu Xun had no choice but to shut up.
In this way, Cao Cao reminded or warned Lu Xun.
Jiang Dong wanted to continue the discussion, so he went back and thought about it carefully, and brought some real money next time.
Lu Xun had no choice but to bow to Cao Cao and leave.
Cao Cao watched Lu Xun leave, then looked left and right, and slowly said, "Everyone, I received news yesterday..."
Except for a few counselors who already knew what Cao Cao was talking about, the attention of most people in the hall was attracted by Cao Cao, and their eyes were focused on Cao Cao.
Cao Cao looked around and said the second half of the sentence, "The hussar army, marching eight hundred a day, has arrived in Longxi."
The words are very simple.
But the facts contained in it are not simple at all.
Of course, the so-called eight hundred, one thousand and so on are generally fictitious, and may not really be accurate to eight hundred or one thousand. It is just used to indicate that the horse is advancing very fast. When receiving
When this news came, Cao Cao was also very surprised, because it was completely beyond Cao Cao's expectation.
It's not that Cao Cao was surprised by the Hussar's dispatch of troops, but that the speed of the Hussar's march surprised Cao Cao.
The hussar is indeed a hussar.
The larger the number of troops, the slower their marching speed will be.
Soldiers who urgently convey military information can rush for eight hundred miles, but that does not mean that the entire army, tens of thousands of people, can rush for eight hundred miles together...
Unless the relevant replacement war horses and a large amount of stored materials have been equipped along the way.
The most critical thing is the training and mutual cooperation of the soldiers.
Just like a person running 5,000 meters or 10,000 meters, no matter whether he runs fast or slow, he only needs to be prepared to serve one person, and the service time is also very short, but if
What about 10,000 people? Coupled with the extension of distance and road restrictions, how many people should be prepared for these services? And how to arrange them, etc. The problems are magnified, and the degree of difficulty will increase exponentially.
Most of the people present had some military experience, or were direct military commanders, so these people all understood that there were not simple problems behind Cao Cao's simple description.
