Since Lu Kang didn't go to the Tao, Wang Li didn't bother to talk to this old stubborn anymore, and seized the power of Lujiang with one word.

In fact, according to common sense, Wang Li also wanted to have a detailed chat with Lu Kang, at least to dispel the suspicions in Lu Kang and Lu Lin's hearts. But it's a pity that Wang Li's cognition of Lu Kang is not limited to history, but also comes from the first acquaintance of the two of them.

Lu Kang is loyal to the country and loves the people like a son, all of which is understandable, and he also won Wang Li's respect. It's just that the meeting between the two at Pengze Lake at the beginning, no matter how clever Wang Li was, Lu Kang never entered the oil and salt, leaving Wang Li with an impressive old stubborn image.

Shen Gongbao has a saying in "The Birth of the Demon Boy": The prejudice in people's hearts is like a mountain, no matter how hard you try, you can't move it.

Lu Kang has prejudices against Wang Li, and he also has prejudices against his statecraft, and even, in Lu Kang's mind, Wang Li is very likely to have a fight with the usurper Wang Mang, and it is difficult to change the prejudice in Lu Kang's heart!

Knowing that you can't do it, that's not courage, that's a fool!

Wang Li really wants to use Lu Kang, but he is not cheap, since it is difficult to communicate, so why not leave it all to time?

Practice brings true knowledge, and time is also the only criterion for testing the truth, so he simply did not do anything and did not stop paying Lu Kang's post of taishou, and gave Lu Xun the two counties of Lujiang and Anfeng in one go.

Lu Xun is Lu Kang's nephew, and he is also the future of the Lu family in Wu County, and his future is absolutely unpredictable.

As long as Lu Kang is not blind, he has no reason to block Lu Xun's progress, and as long as Lu Xun's instructions in the two counties do not have a great conflict with the interests of the Lu family, he Lu Kang can only give him the green light to escort.

Wang Li slowly walked down the city wall, glanced to the side, and said with a smile: "People say that knowing a son is better than a father, and you are a knowing ancestor Mo Ruosun." As you can see, your uncle and grandfather are still too wary of me, and the affairs of these two counties can only be entrusted to you! ”

"Uncle and grandfather have always respected the lord very much, and when the last general first arrived in Lu'an, he sang two righteous songs written by the lord, and my uncle and grandfather danced when they heard it, and happily drank several large jars of wine in a row."

Lu Xun jumped out from the side of the city wall, patted the dirt on his hands, glanced at the two figures on the head of the city and continued, "It's just that although my uncle and grandfather are not a defender, they are very old-fashioned and rigid in their thinking.

When I was in Pengze Lake, the lord said a shock, for the great idea of the lord, the last general and Zilong may think that this is an epoch-making spring thunder, but for my uncle and grandfather, I believe that he is more afraid in his heart.

One is frightened by the transcendence and avant-garde of your thoughts, and the other should be due to the fact that he does not know enough about you, and he does not have enough confidence in you, so he does not dare to bet the world and his own chips on the shoulders of the lord.

After all, the old things of a hundred years ago were more impressive to their older generation, and the Emperor of the year was still your own family. Once bitten by a snake for ten years, I was afraid of the well rope, which may be the reason why my uncle and grandfather are unwilling to follow the lord to remove the old and cloth the new! ”

In Chinese history, regents are not uncommon, such as Zhou Gong Ji Dan during the reign of King Wu of Zhou, such as Dolgon, Prince Rui during the Shunzhi period, and Zaifeng, the Prince of Alcohol during the Xuantong period, etc.

But when it comes to the emperor, there is only one, that is, Wang Mang, who killed his son-in-law and usurped the throne, single-handedly created a new dynasty, but caused chaos in the world due to retro reform, and once again toppled his own country with his own hands.

The first half of Wang Mang's life can be described as "pseudo" to the extreme, so "pseudo" that everyone regards him as a righteous gentleman.

Bai Letian, a monk in Xiangshan, once wrote in "Words": Give the king a way to resolve doubts, and there is no need to drill turtles and wish yarrow. The test jade should be burned for three days, and the material must be aged for seven years. Zhou Gong was afraid of rumors, and Wang Mang was humble and did not usurp the time. Xiang Envoy died that year, and who knows the truth of his life.

Lu Xun's words were obviously what Lu Kang wanted to express, and Lu Kang was worried that Wang Li would become the second Wang Mang.

However, Lu Xun's words have also revealed another meaning, that is, Lu Xun will become Wang Li's loyal team like Zhao Yun and become the solid pillar of Wang Li's new strategy.

Wang Li patted Lu Xun's shoulder, glanced at the two backs on the head of the city and smiled faintly: "The road is long, I will go up and down to seek." If we want to accomplish our established ideals, it is destined to be a road full of ruggedness and bumps, and there is a long way to go! ”

Lu Xun nodded solemnly, and his eyes slowly turned to Wanliguan Mountain in the southwest with Wang Li's gaze, as if he also saw the land of Jingchu under the same bright moon.

……

The land of Jingchu refers to Jingzhou and Yangzhou in a narrow sense, and also includes part of Jiangdong in a broad sense. Because its tribe arose in Chu, it is called Jing Chu.

The sky has been dark, but at this time Xiangyang City ushered in dozens of iron horses, the horsemen on the horse are all mighty and majestic, but their faces are not very good, a body of wind and dust and yellow sand, as if they have been running on the road for hundreds of miles.

The first two, one holding a feather fan with a solemn expression, while the other looked at the city gate for a long time before slowly stepping into the city.

"Kong Ming, Wang Li has already issued an order to the world, whoever dares to contain us is an enemy of him and the court, do you think Brother Jingsheng really dares to disobey Wang Li's anti-scale and provide us with a place to live and raise?"

The man who spoke had long ears and shoulders, his eyes looked at his ears, and his eyes were full of fatigue, sadness, and doubt, and it was none other than Liu Xuande, the defeated uncle of Wang Li's subordinates.

"Lord, Liu Jingsheng has no ambitions, how can he give Wang Li a name for sending troops?" Zhuge Liang shook the feather fan in his hand and said with a wry smile, "I'm afraid that we have already entered his nose from the moment we entered the city!" ”

Liu Bei was shocked in his heart, and the doubts in his eyes became more and more intense: "Since Kong Ming thinks that Brother Jingsheng will not provide us with a place to rest again, why do you have to go to Xiangyang today, aren't you afraid that Brother Jingsheng has already hooked up with Wang Li?" ”

"But please rest assured, that Liu Jingsheng is suspicious, although he is a little worried that the arrival of the lord will provide Wang Li with an opportunity to go south, but he also cares about the power in his hands and the fame of the people before and after!"

Zhuge Liang gently reined in the horse, looked at the touch of vermilion at the gate of Xiangyang City and smiled faintly, "What's more, although Liu Jingsheng has the name of assassinating history, he can only hold half of Jingzhou, and he has long hated Wang Li, who has seized several counties in his hands."

As long as we can successfully arouse Liu Jingsheng's will to fight and drag him and his Jingzhou generals into this troubled water, I believe we will be able to regain our strength and stand up again in Jingzhou! ”

Liu Bei was silent for a long time, the doubts in his eyes finally turned into a trace of determination, and he bowed his head to Zhuge Liang, and he heard Zhuge Liang's voice ringing clearly in his ears.

"Although the lord is relieved, Liang has already made a plan in his heart: to stab Liu Biao with fame and courage, to make friends with gold beads and treasures, and finally to occupy the magpie's nest and then set the Central Plains!"
