Of course, when Lu Xun left here, he received the news that he had to leave.
As for Liu Bei -
…
Niuzhu Port.
It is a relatively short route from Niuzhu Port to Jianye.
It is close to the river and connected in all directions. It has always been a strategic location for Soochow.
Sun Quan must have put a lot of thought into welcoming Liu Bei in this place.
But... in fact, Sun Quan had to take action himself.
Because if he doesn't show up again - according to Zhou Yu, Sun Shangxiang still doesn't show up, and Lu Xun doesn't intend to stay long, they have only one last resort.
That is to confess to Liu Bei and confess everything about Sun Shangxiang's escape from marriage. He thinks it is a shameful result, but no matter what, he must use this to gain Liu Bei's trust.
If it really doesn't work, Jiang Xia... might as well just leave it to Liu Bei.
"Zhong Mou...you must understand now what is the primary and what is secondary - my little sister is so willful, and we have given her many opportunities...you know the result."
Zhou Yu simply used the tragic situation of Pan Zhang and Zhou Tai to warn Sun Quan.
It's just that... Sun Quan has been struggling in his heart since Sun Shangxiang left.
Until now... After hearing Zhou Yu's proposal and seeing the miserable faces of Pan Zhang and Zhou Tai, Sun Quan could only delay for the last time:
"Gong Jin...I...I understand everything, but...but it's better to wait a little longer, just wait a little longer!"
After all, Sun Quan still had some compassion.
I remember how disappointed Zhou Yu was with Sun Quan at that time. Zhou Yu really wanted to be good to Jiangdong wholeheartedly.
The difference between him and Sun Quan is that he is able to separate worldly affairs from real temple matters, but in this case, it seems that he is somewhat ruthless.
"I have received news that both the Zhang family and the Gu family are mobilizing a lot of manpower to find their little sister. I don't mean anything else. I just want to remind you - Zhongmou, if you hesitate for too long, you may lose both your life and wealth..."
"Ahem...let it go...don't worry, I...I have asked Boyan to go to Wuhui to look for the little sister again. Didn't Wen Gui say that he heard the man named Lu Qinghou say before that he wanted to take the little sister to Wu?
Do you know the area? Just trust Boyan for the time being... I know you don't get along with him, but... but the only ones willing to help us right now are Boyan and his Lu family."
When talking about Sun Shangxiang's whereabouts, Zhou Yu also frowned.
Pan Zhang and Zhou Tai returned to Jianye a few days ago and immediately reported to them everything they encountered in Linli Mountain.
From then on, Sun Quan and Zhou Yu learned that the reason why Sun Shangxiang had not been caught by them was that a young businessman named Lu Qinghou came from nowhere to assist him.
Not to mention how angry and anxious Sun Quan, the elder brother, was about the sudden appearance of a strange man of unknown origin next to his little sister. Just analyzing the tragic defeat of Pan Zhang and Zhou Tai, Sun Quan and Zhou Yu
Some feel like facing a formidable enemy.
"Hey... let's do what you said first - I will go to Wu County in the next two days. I will try my best to use the power of Zhou and Qiao to find my little sister and the man named Lu Qinghou."
"but…"
Zhou Yu finally compromised.
First, we know that Sun Quan has always been such a hesitant character. If he is forced to make a decision between the two, it will have the opposite effect.
Secondly... he vaguely felt that this businessman named Lu Qinghou was by no means a simple person, and it was necessary to go and meet him in person.
Having made up his mind, Zhou Yu sighed and advised Sun Quan:
"But... five days at most, Zhong Mou. Once the five days are up, you can no longer hesitate. Any further hesitation will only give those who are coveting the opportunity to threaten you. Do you understand?"
Sun Quan nodded quickly, and the two reached a consensus.
——
Therefore, when Sun Quan came to greet Liu Bei this time, he actually took Lu Xun's place.
Under such difficult circumstances, Lu Xun has become his most powerful player after Zhou Yu.
Because the family is really weak, Lu Su can only help fill the vacancies in Jianye for those who are out on the mission to hunt down Sun Shangxiang, and he is very busy now.
The king doesn’t see the king?
Now is no longer the time to worry so much.
Sun Quan was fully prepared to use all his strength to hold back Liu Bei - in order to... in order not to use the confession strategy that would hurt both sides in the end.
This...maybe the only thing Yi Xiaotian didn't expect.
Although he has been instilling in Sun Shangxiang the idea that Sun Quan and Zhou Yu should use her as a political marriage tool, after all, Sun Quan is still the elder brother - he still has some regrets for Sun Shangxiang.
Therefore, Yi Xiaotian was given a lot of preparation time by accident.
However, the reason why Lu Xun, who was considered very trustworthy by Sun Quan, actually left Niuzhu Port so happily was not just because of his orders.
All the secrets are hidden in the letter Lu Xun received when he was with Liu Bei.
——
"This person called Zhantang... have you found out his details?"
"I'm sorry for my incompetence... The head of the family, no one in the entire Wuhui area knows the origin of this boy named Zhantang."
Such a conversation took place on a carriage that set off from Niuzhu Port, passed through Danyang County, and went straight to Wu County.
Lu Xun held the opened letter in his hand, frowning, thinking quietly.
Sitting opposite him was the servant who had galloped over to deliver the letter.
"so…"
"Is this person really going to send a letter to the house, saying that he wants to discuss the strategy for the rejuvenation of our Lu family?"
"It's true...it's true!"
Lu Xun continued to ask, focusing on the details that the slave had said before.
This is a major factor that bothers him.
Just imagine, the Lu family was living well, and he was gradually beginning to be trusted. At this juncture, with such a series of turmoil caused by the escape of the Sun family princess - he could have taken advantage of this opportunity to rise to prominence.
,but…
Zhou Yu's presence has always been suppressing Lu Xun.
Lu Xun and Zhou Yu actually had nothing to do with each other, but...it just seemed that Zhou Yu had a lot of hostility towards their Lu family because of his relationship with the late monarch Sun Ce.
When Sun Ce was still there, although Lu Xun was young, he was still in his twenties and was already at the age of becoming an official.
Many people in the court had recommended Lu Xun, but due to two reasons... Sun Ce's attitude and Lu Xun's knot, when Sun Ce was still alive, Lu Xun was even prepared to keep suppressing the Lu family as long as he was alive.
.
In the battle of Lujiang, Sun Ce forced Lu Kang to death due to personal grudges, forcing half of the Lu family to die. Even now, the Lu family has not recovered. Such a Liangzi will not be completely destroyed because of Sun Ce's death alone.
Finished.
Zhou Yu inherited some resentment from Sun Ce. As long as he was on top of Lu Xun's head, Lu Xun could never really gain power by Sun Quan's side.
And at this time.
At this critical moment, a man suddenly came to the door and told the people of the Lu family without hesitation that he could help the Lu family revive, and even...even clear the obstacles in the way.
Lu Ji, who was temporarily the head of the family and in charge of the family affairs, was so frightened that he did not dare to reply for a long time.
After thinking about it for a long time, I wrote this letter.
"Bo Yan, come back soon, it's a big family matter."
Therefore, even if Sun Quan did not ask Lu Xun to leave, he would leave.
