Chapter 1055: Didnt you say that the Imperial Master is usually very easy-going?
The trip to Jiangdong went very smoothly, and the first person Wang Xuan approached was the Yu family.
The two parties have been in contact before, and the Yu family ranks in the middle among the four major families. After taking care of the Yu family, the four major families will be separated. In this way, it will be much easier to deal with the other three major families.
For the Zhu, Lu, and Gu families, it was simply a betrayal for the Yu family to reach an agreement with Wang Xuan without negotiating with them.
However, things are different now. It is Wang Xuan who takes the initiative and not the four major families anymore. Especially after the Yu family first compromised, the four major families fell apart and there is no possibility of unity anymore.
After leaving Kuaiji, Wang Xuan took Zhao Yun and the others straight to Wu County.
At the bow of the boat, Wang Xuan and Zhao Yun, who were extremely bored, were passing the time eating and drinking wine. Wang Xuan picked up a piece of tender and white fish, dipped it lightly in the soy sauce dish, and put it on happily.
Taste it in your mouth.
"National Master, why should we go to Wu County first? Aren't the Zhu family the strongest among the four major families?" Zhao Yun asked casually while putting down his wine glass.
Wang Xuan shook his head. Due to his background, Zhao Yun's political sensitivity was really not very good. "Yang Ren, you tell me."
"Because the Lu family is in Wu County, the Lu family is not the worst." Yang Ren put down his chopsticks and began to explain to Zhao Yun: "The reason why the Lu family is the worst among the four families is because they blocked Sun Ce from entering Jiangdong. So,
The Sun and Lu families have a grudge."
"In addition, it is precisely because the Lu family's strength has declined significantly that they are more eager to restore their strength, so they have better strategies. After the Lu family surrenders, the Zhu and Gu families will be left, and they will not be able to bow their heads if they don't want to."
After saying that, Yang Ren sneered, "In the past, the Zhu and Gu families could still think of contacting Cao Cao, but now, Cao Cao is fully engaged in dealing with us and has no time to deal with them."
"Wow, you guys from aristocratic families are really dirty-minded, and you have so many schemes." Wang Xuan clicked his tongue, as if he was ashamed to be associated with them.
Yang Ren:┻━┻︵╰(‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
"What are you looking for? I don't have many ideas. I just think it's easier to go to Wu County." Wang Xuan drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, looked at Yang Ren sideways and said, "After coming out of Kuaiji, isn't Wu County the first stop?
County?"
Kuaiji was located in Hangzhou Bay in later generations, and Wujun was at the estuary of the Yangtze River. If you take the sea route, isn't it the first stop back?
I believed your ghost!
Isn't it much closer to go to Zhu's house and enter Danyang County by land than to go around in a big circle by sea and land?
Moreover, the Gu family is also in Wu County. Why is the Lu family the first person you look for when you go to Wu County?
Yang Ren's face turned dark. Even though he knew Wang Xuan was deliberately amusing him, he didn't dare to refute, and the corners of his mouth twitched in anger.
Seeing Yang Ren's look, Zhao Yun hurriedly lowered his head to eat the fish, still muttering, "Although this Jiangnan way of eating is light, it has a unique flavor."
Wang Xuan went straight to Wu County with great fanfare. Both the Gu and Lu families hurriedly went to the pier to greet him. This was not the time to be reserved. After the Yu family was the first to reach an agreement, whoever contacted them first would have the upper hand.
This may be a matter of great importance for the next few hundred years, so there is no need to worry about face.
The scene on the pier was quite spectacular! It was - gongs and drums roaring, firecrackers blasting, flags waving, huge crowds of people... what the hell!
The pier had been cleared out by the two families early on. Only the important figures of the Gu and Lu families stood on the pier, and all the other people retreated. In this strict hierarchical society, ordinary people are not qualified to watch this kind of thing.
The leader of the Gu family is Gu Yong, a representative figure of this generation of the Gu family. The leader of the Lu family is a young man who looks to be only sixteen or seventeen years old. Standing side by side with Gu Yong, he does not look submissive. His face is calm and he looks mature.
.
This man is Lu Xun. He has become the mainstay of the Lu family at the age of seventeen. Speaking of which, he does have an uncle named Lu Ji, but he is five years younger than Lu Xun. He is the former Lujiang prefect Lu Kang.
It was precisely because of Lu Kang's battle with Sun Ce in Lujiang that the Lu family suffered heavy losses and the situation plummeted.
"I have met the Imperial Master of the Han Dynasty." Seeing Wang Xuan come down, Gu Yong and Lu Xun both stepped forward and bowed to greet him.
"You two are very polite." Wang Xuanxu gave him a hand, glanced at Gu Yong and Lu Xun and said with a smile: "This is Mr. Gu Yuantan, who is known as 'the spirit and the body are as beautiful as the white dragon', right? Today
As soon as I saw it, it certainly lived up to its reputation."
"I don't dare to accept it, the Imperial Master is ridiculous." Gu Yong was slightly shocked, but fortunately he quickly calmed down and quickly handed over his hand.
"Brother Yuantan, there is no need to be modest."
Damn it, Wang Xuan can actually praise others?
Everyone present was shocked, including Yang Ren, who had not been in contact with him for a long time. Didn't he say that Wang Xuan had a surly personality and harsh words?
Looking at his kind smile, humble words, and polite appearance, he doesn't look like such a cruel person at all.
"This is little brother Lu Xun and Lu Boyan, right? I've heard of you a long time ago even in the North. You're known as 'the man with profound meaning can bear the heavy burden'. When I see you today, you are young and mature yet sharp, and you will have a promising future."
There's a limit." Wang Xuan looked Lu Xun up and down, with a look of admiration on his face.
A hint of surprise flashed across Lu Xun's face, but then disappeared again, and he respectfully saluted Wang Xuan: "I dare not say this as a national master."
"Deserve it, deserving it."
A few people chatted on the pier for a while, and then headed towards the city together. On the way, Yang Ren approached Zhao Yun and asked in a low voice: "What's going on with the Imperial Master?"
"What's going on?" Zhao Yun ignored Yang Ren and said in a low voice: "You don't really think that the Imperial Master is really such a cruel person, do you? The Imperial Master usually has an extremely easy-going personality."
"Really?" Yang Ren looked shocked.
"Of course it's true. Even if you joke with the Imperial Master on weekdays, the Imperial Master will not be angry." Zhao Yun nodded firmly.
"This is really unbelievable." Yang Ren looked like he had discovered a new world.
"Oh, by the way, I'll tell you quietly." Zhao Yun said solemnly: "Within two to three hundred meters, as long as the word "Guo Shi" is mentioned, the Guo Shi can hear it."
Zhao Yun gave Yang Ren a wish-for-you-for-you expression, and Yang Ren was stunned on his horse for a long time, unable to recover.
Didn’t you say that the Imperial Master usually has a very easy-going personality?
Aren't you going to get angry even if you make a joke?
Then what do you mean by telling me that he can hear it?
Zhao Yun, I didn’t expect that you with thick eyebrows and big eyes could do such a thing. I, see, you are wrong!
Wang Xuan's sneer sounded in Yang Ren's ears.
When the group arrived in the city, Yang Ren was very surprised that Wang Xuan did not move directly into the Lu family's mansion as he expected, nor did he go to the Gu family. Instead, he arranged a place to stay outside.
The mansion here belongs to the Cui family, which was originally the Boling Cui family in the North.
Yang Ren never expected that in Jiangdong there were not only the Yu family who were close to the Han Dynasty, but also the Boling Cui family who had arranged to come here many years ago. Is it really... Could it be that Wang Xuan thought of it so many years ago?
Is this too far-sighted? When I think of foresight, I think of Wang Xuan’s elusiveness. When I think of elusiveness, I think of the bad words I just said about Wang Xuan. It feels like my life has become dark from now on...
In fact, Wang Xuan was not really lying at all. He really had no intention of talking to the Lu family first. Talking to the Lu family first was just asking for a separation. Is it necessary?
It is necessary to look at the problem from Yang Ren's perspective. It is easier to deal with each one after they are divided. But it is completely unnecessary to look at it from Wang Xuan's point of view. If there is anything that can be divided, we must first find it.
The Yu family talks were just to open a gap. Wang Xuan didn't want to waste time, so there was no need for differentiation.
Wang Xuan really doesn't take the so-called four major families seriously. These four families can't even handle a single Sun Ce.
Xiaojiazi was a little angry.
What's more, Wang Xuan still hopes that the four major families will develop faster. The south of the Yangtze River is not the Central Plains. The Central Plains has almost been developed. What is left is just to continue to cultivate deeply, but the foundation is complete. The same is true in the north, but only
This Jiangnan is the key to the future progress of the Han Dynasty.
Not to mention the four major families, even if there are a few more big families, it doesn't matter. As long as they can focus on developing Jiangnan, Wang Xuan will definitely spare no effort to support them. As for whether they will over-develop in the end and lose their tail in the end, that's not more important.
good.
When the fruit is really ripe, Wang Xuan will definitely come to pick peaches happily.
There is no such thing as being invincible. In the history of China, from ancient times to the present, there is only one example of someone who has conquered the south from the north, and that is Zhu Yuanzhang. Apart from that, all others have used the north to level the south. They can start from the northwest. Qin destroyed the six kingdoms.
The Han defeated the Chu, the Sui Dynasty destroyed the Chen, and the Tang conquered the world. Those who started in the Central Plains were the Western Jin Dynasty, Zhao Song, those who started in the grasslands were the Meng Yuan, and those who started in the mountains and forests of the Northeast were the Qing Dynasty.
Even the Jin Kingdom and the Liao Dynasty once occupied the Central Plains. It can be seen that before the Five Dynasties and the Ten Kingdoms, the world was based on the northwest. After the Five Dynasties, the Central Plains ruled the world. After the Northern Song Dynasty, Mobei became the king. Therefore, fear of Jiangnan
The aristocratic family was turned upside down, but it was still very early.
What's more, there is Wang Xuan sitting in charge. Even if he won't interfere with anything specifically, he will live a long time. After three generations, the aristocratic families in Jiangnan will probably be useless without beating him...
