Chapter 1368 Gu Lu Zhouzhang, Wu Jun's Four Surnames
Bai Xiaowen secretly summoned Cai Zhong, Cai He and his brothers.
"After entering Jingzhou alone, you Cai clan members were not rewarded. You must have a lot of opinions in your hearts, right?"
In Cai Zhong, Cai He was shocked and said quickly: "We admire the power of King Tianwei, how dare we harbor resentment?"
Bai Xiaowen smiled: "Okay, you don't have to be afraid. I won't award you a reward, but there is a great achievement that you two have to take with your own hands. If you can succeed, your future power and status will never be lower than Cai Mao.
"
Cai Zhong and Cai He were overjoyed and asked carefully what the credit was.
Bai Xiaowen said: "Gu wants to conquer Jiangdong, but he lacks an internal leader. You two can secretly cross the river and go to Jiangdong. Just say that you are resentful of being treated coldly by Gu. Sun Ce will definitely not doubt it. Then you can secretly convey Jiangdong's military information and wait until Gu
When Jiangdong is pacified, I will grant you great wealth."
Cai Zhong and Cai He were hesitant at first, but seeing Bai Xiaowen's majestic face, they did not dare to refuse, so they could only change their minds and kneel down to accept the order.
Bai Xiaowen said: "You two should be careful. Don't have second thoughts and send false military information to me. If you delay the war, you will be dealt with according to military law."
In Cai Zhong, Cai He hurriedly drew an oath to the sky and said: "My two family members are all in Jingzhou, how dare you betray me?"
Bai Xiaowen nodded and said a few more words of comfort. Cai Zhong and Cai He took the order and left.
In the team channel, Li Shuyi asked: "In the novel, these two people were also sent to Jiangdong as spies by Cao Cao, right?"
Bai Xiaowen nodded.
"Weren't these two people discovered? Zhou Yu used them to pass on false information and killed Ji Qi before the decisive battle." Li Shuyi blinked.
Bai Xiaowen nodded again.
"Then why did you send them to die?" Li Shuyi asked.
Bai Xiaowen smiled and said: "I don't like the information sent back by Cai Zhong and Cai He at all, whether it is true or false. However, Zhou Yu thinks that Cai Zhong and Cai He can be used to pass false information to us. This is enough
For such a sophisticated person like Zhou Yu, if I don’t give him some clues, how can he follow the pace I expect?”
…
In the east of the Yangtze River, the atmosphere in Sun Ce's military tent was solemn.
Sun Ce, dressed in military uniform, sat on the main seat, with Zhou Yu sitting next to him. In front of the two of them, a young Confucian scholar was escorted by Sun Ce's soldiers.
Although the young Confucian scholar tried to keep his composure, a sharp person like Zhou Yu could still see the nervousness he tried so hard to hide.
Sun Ce said sternly: "The war is about to begin. Instead of making progress, the Lu family betrays the enemy and talks about surrendering! Now that the witness is conclusive, what else do you have to say, Lu Jun?"
A young Confucian scholar named Lu Jun was shocked by Sun Ce's majesty and couldn't help but take a step back.
Suddenly, there was a burst of noise outside the tent.
A sergeant came to report: "Lord, there are many people outside the tent asking to see you, and they also sent greeting cards."
Sun Ce ordered someone to take the greeting cards. There were four greeting cards in total. After reading them, Sun Ce frowned and snorted.
Zhou Yu took the greeting card, read it and said, "This is a noble family from Jiangdong, here to intercede for the Lu family."
Sun Ce hummed: "Gu, Lu, Zhou and Zhang are the four surnames in Wu County. Jiangdong gentry often have marriages, and they are connected by the same spirit. It is true."
Zhou Yu said: "The war is about to begin. The Jiangdong gentry's forces are intertwined, so we must not be careless. Let them come in."
It should be noted that although Zhou Yu's surname was Zhou, he was not a member of the Zhou family in Jiangdong, but a native of Lujiang (now Anhui) and a trusted general of the Huaisi line under Sun Ce.
Soon, several Confucian scholars entered, all representatives of the Jiangdong gentry.
After the ceremony, these people introduced themselves to their families.
Needless to say, Gu Yong, Zhou Fang and Zhang Wen are representatives of the Gu family, Zhou family and Zhang family respectively.
As for the Lu family, two people arrived.
One is about seventeen or eighteen years old, with elegant and handsome appearance and a tall and straight posture; the other is only eleven or twelve years old, but his demeanor is calm and different from ordinary children.
Sun Ce said: "You, the Lu family, already have the head of the family, Lu Jun, here, so why are you sending someone here?"
The handsome Confucian scholar who was seventeen or eighteen years old said: "My uncle is in trouble, and we are very worried, so we took the liberty to come here. No matter what my uncle's faults are, I am willing to take my own life to take care of him."
Sun Ce couldn't help but become interested when he saw that the Confucian scholar answered questions fluently, which was even better than Lu Jun. He asked, "Who are you?"
The handsome Confucian scholar raised his hands in greeting and said, "I am Lu Xun, whose courtesy name is Boyan." Then he introduced the child beside him: "This is my uncle Lu Ji."
Sun Ce smiled and said: "This is where the adults discuss military aircraft. What are you doing here?"
Lu Ji bowed his hands and saluted, and said in a clear voice: "As the saying goes: If you have ambitions, it is not in your age, and if you have no ambitions, you will live a hundred years in vain. Xiang Luo was the teacher of the saints at the age of seven, and Gan Luo was named the Qin State Minister at the age of twelve. Why did the general become so young because of his youth? Despise me?"
Facing Sun Ce's cross-examination, Lu Ji answered fluently and showed no fear.
Zhou Yu was worried that the Lu family in Jiangdong had so many talents! If they could not be used, the Sun family's foundation would be unstable.
At that moment, Zhou Yu coughed, brought the topic to the main topic, and said: "You are all heroes from Jiangdong. When we gather together, we will have high opinions."
Gu Yong and Zhang Wen said in unison: "I hope the two generals will let Lu Jun go."
Zhou Yu said: "Some people have accused Lu Jun of gathering a crowd to rebel and offer Jiangdong to the Yuan family."
Lu Xun said: "Who will testify?"
Zhou Yu ordered the person to be brought up. It turned out to be a servant of the Lu family named Zhu Ze.
Lu Xun took one look and then smiled and said: "This man is indeed my servant, but he behaved badly and ruined the family tradition. After being scolded by his uncle with a stick, he was expelled from the Lu family. It seems that he had a grudge and deliberately deceived and framed him. Two generals When the enemy is in front of us, if a loyal person is betrayed by a villain who stirs up trouble, how can he win over the people in Jiangdong and die with his service?"
Zhu Ze shouted: "No, it's not! I heard with my own ears that the head of the family discussed with a group of people and sent a letter to Jiangbei to find a way out! I also saw him among the people who were discussing together!" His The finger pointed at Gu Yong.
Lu Xun's expression changed, and he said with a sneer: "It's just a one-sided statement. If the two generals believe in this villain and ignore the words of Jiangdong's heroes and want to wipe out the Lu family, we have nothing to say."
Just as Sun Ce was about to speak, Zhou Yu smiled and said: "I have always known that the Lu family in Jiangdong is not a person who betrays his master and surrenders to the enemy. This treacherous villain comes to make false accusations without any basis and evidence. He has ulterior motives and cannot escape the blame. Bo Fu, you are a sergeant." Behead him to appease the Lu family."
Sun Ce always obeyed Zhou Yu's advice and immediately waved his order. The swordsman dragged Zhu Ze out regardless of his pleas and cries, and soon presented him with a head.
Lu Jun's eyes twitched when he saw the head.
Zhou Yu said with a smile: "To rule Jiangdong, the Sun family still needs to rely on everyone to work together to resist foreign enemies."
Seeing Zhou Yu giving face like this, Gu Yong, Zhang Wen, Zhou Fang and others naturally said a few words of honor, such as fighting against foreign enemies together.
Afterwards, Gu Yong and others took their leave. However, Zhou Yu left the three of the Lu family behind, saying they had something to discuss with them.
