The current situation in Jiangdong is quite chaotic.
Mainly highlighting one opposition - now, whether it is Liu Bei, Cao Cao, or even Liu Zhang in the southwest, they are all integrated within their own families, and they are definitely not in the same situation as Sun Quan is now.
To put it bluntly, Jiangdong is a force supported by the power of aristocratic families.
Northern Cao Cao originally relied on the support of aristocratic families when he rose to power, but now he has deliberately begun to divert the power of aristocratic families from them.
According to the influence of concepts that Yi Xiaotian subtly instilled in him - Cao Cao no longer expected to so-called restoration of the Han Dynasty in order to unify the world.
Leaving the Han Dynasty - a dead end.
The ultimate goal of getting rid of Liu Xie, letting Liu Xie return to ordinary people's lives, and holding the lifeblood of the Han Dynasty in his hands is to break up the empire and establish a successor.
But Cao Cao had to go through more than ten years and nearly twenty years of hard work, gradually accumulating his power, recruiting talents, and accumulating strength, and finally reached the point where he is now.
Now that the people in the north have returned home, Liu Xie's old party has also vaguely discovered the fact that they have been drained by Cao Cao, and they are gradually turning to decadence. It is estimated that it will not be long before they disappear completely.
The Han Dynasty is gone, Cao Cao has risen, the nobles can only surrender, but have no ability to rebel——
And what about Liu Bei?
Liu Bei bears the title of imperial uncle. Who cares about the nature of those who are loyal to the Han Dynasty south of the Yangtze River?
The key is that Liu Bei is a good actor. If a villain who is hypocritical to the core can act beautifully all his life, then he will be a real gentleman in the eyes of everyone.
This is undeniable.
It's like stacking up many buffs to fight against Cao Cao in the north who wants to eliminate the dragon spirit of the Han Dynasty. Most of the remaining people with lofty ideals will defect to Liu Bei.
Therefore, Liu Bei is also in a state of returning to the world.
In addition, he is very good at establishing good relations with aristocratic families. The aristocratic families he befriends feel very comfortable and do not have to suffer the grievances of being suppressed by Cao Cao in the north. Naturally, they are not supportive of Liu Bei.
You must know that the huge Jingzhou has always been occupied by the three families of Sun, Liu and Cao. However, most of the talents in Jingzhou were recruited by Liu Bei alone. This fact is enough to reflect Liu Bei's advantages.
After talking about the two families - Sun Quan, who was left behind at the end, was indeed the one in the most difficult situation.
His qualifications are still relatively low. To put it bluntly, he has taken the dividends left by his father and brother and gained control of such a large family business.
As a result, he was extremely ambitious, just like a new official taking office, always thinking about doing something big to show off his abilities.
The result of this is that since he took office, he has really won the battles. Except for the defeat of Jiangxia Huangzu led by Zhou Yu, and the allied army Liu Bei's defeat of Cao Cao in the battle of Chibi, the rest are all terrible defeats.
.
The sneak attack on Liu Bei two years ago was simply one of the most stupid operations in the entire late Eastern Han Dynasty.
Even Zhang Zhao and Gu Yong, who were retiring in Wu County, knew that such a battle could not be fought after they woke up. However, Sun Quan chose to show off such an operation alone when Zhou Yu, the only one around him who understood strategy, was not around.
.
To be honest, when Zhou Yu came back, if he hadn't seen that Sun Quan was Sun Ce's younger brother, he would have beaten the pig Sun Quan on the spot.
The aristocratic families are now in a state of watching a show. Most of them have completely distanced themselves from Sun Quan. As long as Sun Quan doesn't kneel down and admit his mistake to them with a shameful face, most of the aristocratic families will continue to have this attitude until Sun Quan's downfall.
Except for Sun Quan, no one could create such a fragmented situation within the territory.
——
So, to sum up the above, who is the only life-saving straw that Sun Quan can grasp now?
That's right, it's Lu Xun...
Yu Fan was driven away by him personally, and he lost the support of the only aristocratic family that was completely on his side. Sun Quan actually regretted it in his heart, but he was very thin-skinned. The more active Yu Fan was, the more he became
I don't know how to re-appoint Yu Fan.
If you appoint Yu Fan, isn't this a slap in your face?
So where is his majesty as the lord of Soochow?
Therefore, Lu Xun, who suddenly became active and could now represent the Lu family of Wu County, became Sun Quan's only remedy for the situation.
——
Lu Xun now serves as the right-hand governor of Sun Quan's shogunate. His official position is not high. To put it simply, he is one of Sun Quan's personal guard captains.
But Lu Xun, the captain of the personal guard, was different from people like Zhou Tai and Pan Zhang. He did not often lead troops, but instead liked to discuss strategies with Zhou Yu and others.
In a few years, he has become somewhat famous, and everyone has basically noticed this young man's profound talents and knowledge.
Letting Lu Xun be responsible for Liu Bei's support this time, to a certain extent, it can be regarded as revealing a message to the aristocratic families in Jiangdong - I, Sun Quan, will now support Lu Xun.
You white-eyed wolves, just watch how he rises up step by step!
Lu Xun did have this strength. In another time and space, he had a bad relationship with Liu Bei.
Of course Liu Bei is not sure now.
All he knew was that the young man who had traveled thousands of miles to come to meet him was a well-spoken and reliable man.
Everyone landed all the way from Wuchang, followed the river, and visited Lujiang, Wuhu, Danyang and other places. Who doesn't like the days of eating and drinking?
Even the majesty of the great bitterness and hatred was too embarrassed to harm the knowledgeable and sensible Lu Xun, let alone Liu Bei.
I heard that Liu Bei had quietly recruited Lu Xun on the road, but Lu Xun declined on the grounds that he needed to support the Lu family and had a heavy responsibility.
This made Liu Bei feel regretful for a while.
Being able to hold off Liu Bei for such a long time is definitely a reflection of Lu Xun's ability.
But the biggest problem - Sun Quan may not even know... If Lu Xun hadn't wanted to restore the Lu family to its past glory, he would never have gotten so close to Sun Quan at the risk of being sanctioned by other families.
Here we will talk about the current situation of the Lu family.
——
Everyone knows that the four families of Gu, Lu, Zhu, and Zhang from Wu County are the pillars of Soochow.
Above the court, countless officials and generals came from these four families.
But...that was all in the past.
In fact, Lu Xun was not originally from the Lu family in Wu County.
His grandfather and his father were from Huating County, Wu County - where the later Magic City was located.
His grandfather, Lu Yu, and Lu Kang, the head of the Lu family in Wu County, were brothers, but one was a slave and the other was a master.
After Lu Yu's death, Lu Xun's father Lu Jun inherited the family business, and the officialdom in Jiangdong was rising, and there was a vague tendency to rise——
However, after growing up like this, he was framed by his fellow countrymen, and he eventually became depressed and died of illness at a very young age.
There are rumors that Lu Xun's father was killed by Lu Jun, a member of his own clan.
Lu Jun was Lu Kang's eldest son, but because he died young, it is difficult to verify such a thing.
In short, under such circumstances, Lu Xun, as a child of a separated family, was adopted by the head of the main family, Lu Kang, and his grandfather. The Lu family of Huating completely disappeared, and this became the Lu family of Wu County.
