Lu Xun successfully joined Sun Ce's command.

Sun Ce's character is like this, he doesn't care if you have an enmity with him or not, as long as you are a talent, then Sun Ce will contain you. There is no need to question this, Tai Shi Ci almost killed Sun Ce, but what is Sun Ce's attitude towards Tai Shi Ci, he almost regards Tai Shi Ci as his own brother. Tai Shici was also deeply moved, and desperately paid for Sun Ce.

Sun Ce's ability to see people is very strong, and almost all the people who have been recognized by him are masterpieces of a generation. Lu Xun's temperament and previous reputation, Sun Ce can conclude that Lu Xun is definitely a talent. Talents must be used, and they must be trusted, so Sun Ce directly gave Lu Xun the official position of captain Dingwei, hoping that Lu Xun could show his talents under his command as soon as possible.

And now is a very critical time for Sun Ce, he is a talent, and Sun Ce needs it.

Therefore, when Zhou Yu proposed to bring in the children of the four major families in Jiangdong, Sun Ce immediately agreed. The four Jiangdong families can dominate Jiangdong, not only because of their family's financial and material resources, but also because of the endless talents of the four major families in Jiangdong. Jiangdong is very different from the rest of the Han Dynasty, where the family has a complete monopoly on knowledge, and their field assets cover almost the whole of Jiangdong. Almost all the civilians in Jiangdong are illiterate, and the children of the family are masters. For example, Lü Meng, the later governor of Jiangdong, was an illiterate commoner. If he hadn't met Sun Quan, maybe Lu Meng would have been a big boss in his life. The biggest reliance of the four major families is their children, and Zhou Yu's strategy is to let the four major families be tied to Sun Ce to death, so that they have no way to compromise with Liu Yu. As long as Liu Yu learned that the four major families of Jiangdong had sent people to fight against him, then the Jiangdong family would not be able to get Liu Yu's understanding. In this regard, Zhou Yu analyzed it very clearly. With Liu Yu's experience for so many years, Zhou Yu found that Liu Yu really did not let go of any family that dared to oppose him. The Cai family and the Kuai family in Jingzhou can keep the family after Liu Yu occupies Jingzhou, which is nothing more than Cai Mao and Kuai Yue are very smart and kneel down for Liu Yu at the most critical time. None of the Cai family and the Kuai family dared to oppose Liu Yu, which made Liu Yu unable to pick up a knife if he wanted to. Then Zhou Yu used Sun Ce's greatest power at the moment to pull the four major families on the boat. In this way, the four major families will be on Liu Yu's blacklist, and even if Sun Ce fails in the end, the four major families will have no good fruit to eat.

Of course, there is a lot of risk involved.

Among the four major families, Zhou Yu could conclude that some of them were secretly in contact with Liu Yu. If such a person enters Sun Ce's interior, then Sun Ce's secret is very likely to be known by Liu Yu. Nothing bad for Sun Ce.

What's more, almost all of the people from the four major families are mainly from their own families, which can be seen from Gu Yong's performance. Gu Yong is very loyal to Sun Ce, but if it is related to the interests of his family, Gu Yong will choose his own Gu family. Whether Gu Yong was willing or forced.

After these people join Sun Ce, once they have a ghost in their hearts, they will eventually cause huge trouble to Sun Ce. It is even possible to hollow out Sun Ce's forces little by little.

This is the danger of Zhou Yu's strategy. The wise and decisive Sun Ce had already seen it, but now Sun Ce had no other choice, and keeping Jiangdong to resist Liu Yu was the biggest problem in front of Sun Ce. As for those dangers, Sun Ce thought that if he couldn't even protect Jiangdong, he didn't need to worry about these dangers. If he succeeds in repelling Liu Yu's invasion, Sun Ce is confident that he can make the four major families obedient.

Sun Ce was so confident, which allowed Zhou Yu to let go and do it.

Lu Xun became Zhou Yu's subordinate, and the two said goodbye to Sun Ce and walked towards the office.

After arriving at the office, Zhou Yu pointed to the desk with a large pile of books and said, "Bo Yan, that will be your office in the future." ”

Lu Xun looked at this office location, but he didn't expect that Zhou Yu was the only one. Could it be that Zhou Yu doesn't have a subordinate by his side?

Zhou Yu saw Lu Xun's doubts and explained: "This is my office location. My subordinates are generally sent out by me. ”

Lu Xun understood now and said: "The lowly position understands, and the lowly position will go to work now." ”

Zhou Yu waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, before the office." I have a few words to tell you. ”

"Listen to the teachings of the Governor!" Lu Xun solemnly waited for Zhou Yu's teachings.

Zhou Yu said lightly: "Bo Yan, I can see your intention to join the lord's command. You mean well, but you just don't know what other people think. Maybe others are not willing to accept your hard work. ”

Lu Xun's eyes shrank, Zhou Yu's intelligence was so high, you could see his intentions?

Zhou Yu didn't care whether Lu Xun understood it or not, and continued: "Join the lord's command, we are our own people." I don't want you to have any selfish motives. You see, Pontus was never soft on his enemies. Do you understand? ”

Lu Xun nodded briefly and said, "Don't worry, the governor understands." ”

Zhou Yu then asked Lu Xun to go to the office, Lu Xun sat on his desk and kept flipping over, and then made solutions to the official documents in the book one by one. Of course, Lu Xun didn't dare to make decisions directly, and the plans were handed over to Zhou Yu for review.

After Zhou Yu looked at it, he had a new understanding of Lu Xun's talent, and he thought that Lu Xun's name was not blown out, and it was really rare to be able to handle these books in an orderly manner.

"Very well, please continue!" After Zhou Yu replied, he stopped caring about Lu Xun.

Lu Xun didn't have any dissatisfaction and started working again.

In this way, every time Lu Xun finished processing a book, he would show it to Zhou Yu, and Zhou Yu put the processed booklet aside, and if he felt that it was not good, he would put it on his desk.

This is how Zhou Yu and Lu Xun work every day.

In the next few days, people from the four major families came to Sun Ce one after another to express their allegiance. Among them, the people who came the most were the Lu family and the Gu family. There were relatively few people from the Yu family and the Wei family.

Both of these families came here because of Lu Xun's influence.

Now Sun Ce has ordered the children of the four families to contribute to Jiangdong, and if he doesn't come, Sun Ce will directly send someone to invite him. The word please is civilized, and it can actually be described as Lazhuangding.

If you take the initiative to join Sun Ce, you may still have the opportunity to receive Sun Ce's reuse, and you don't have to go to the front line. If you are pulled into a strong ding, the low position is absolute, and you are more likely to be sent to the front line, and the worst may be to be cannon fodder.

There are always people who don't know what to do, but there are also many smart people. In this way, the middle-level personnel under Sun Ce's command have become sufficient, and they can calmly carry out the work of restoring their strength.

The Lu family and the Gu family even took out a lot of money and grain to fund Sun Ce, the reason was to repay Sun Ce for exempting them from taxes and servitude.

Of course, Sun Ce was happy, and praised the Lu family and the Gu family as scholarly families in Jiangdong, and they knew how to share worries for Jiangdong.

In fact, this is the Lu family and the Gu family paying protection money to Sun Ce for their children in disguise.

After Yu Fu and Wei Teng heard about it, they scolded these two families for not knowing what to do, and making the tone so high, that if they didn't come up with something here, it might cause Sun Ce's anger.

In the end, the Wei family and the Yu family also paid a lot of protection fees.

Sun Ce and Zhou Yu were very happy, with this money and food, the recovery of their military strength would be much faster.

Jiangdong is seizing the time to recover his strength, could it be that Zhuge Liang in Jingzhou has been watching all along? Let the Koto side strengthen its resistance in the future?

Not at all.

Now Zhuge Liang is even more busy, thinking about pacifying Jiangdong all the time.

Zhuge Liang was so busy until the third watch in the middle of the night that sometimes he even forgot to eat.

Zhuge Liang knew the situation in Jiangdong in his heart, but Zhuge Liang had already arranged it.

"It's almost time." Zhuge Liang said to himself.

Zhuge Liang's other hand began to be launched this evening.

Outside Lujiang City, in a small forest almost five miles away from the city, a large group of figures gathered here, and looking at their number, there were almost about 2,000 people.

This large group of people were all wearing Liu Jun's armor, which was Liu Yu's soldiers and horses. The military general at the head is magnificent.

This general is Zhang Liao.

Isn't Zhang Liao Jiangxia too shou? How to get to Lujiang from outside the city of Lujiang?

At the beginning of the Chibi War, Zhang Liao repelled Tai Shici, and then he immediately carried out Zhuge Liang's arrangement for him.

Zhuge Liang understood that it was impossible to solve Jiangdong at one time, and in the Battle of Chibi, Liu Jun could defeat the Jiangdong Army, but it was impossible to make the Jiangdong Army collapse. Sun Ce is not a simple character, Zhou Yu is extremely resourceful, and he will not let Jiangdong be defeated. Then in this way, Zhuge Liang will have to plan an easier attack on Jiangdong that can succeed. Zhuge Liang's goal is to take Lujiang City. Lujiang City is one of the most important granaries in Jiangdong, and it is a very important place sandwiched between Yuzhou and Jiangdong. As long as the Lujiang River is taken, the land connection between Cao Cao in Yuzhou and Sun Ce in Jiangdong can be severed, and at the same time, Jiangdong will deal a huge blow. Zhuge Liang thought that he could see it, so Sun Ce and Zhou Yu in Jiangdong would naturally be able to know this. Then Zhuge Liang must plan in advance and implement it in advance before Sun Ce and Zhou Yu have arrangements.

And Zhang Liao, who is too guarded by Jiangxia, is the best candidate in Zhuge Liang's heart. Jiangxia City is very close to the Lujiang River, and although the road is rugged, it is always much closer than other places in the past. The other is that Zhang Liao is a fierce general who regards death as home, and Zhuge Liang knows his talent well, so he handed over this important task to Zhang Liao.

After Zhang Liao defeated Tai Shici, he took 3,000 soldiers and horses to Lujiang.

Zhang Liao thought that Jiangdong's defeat in Chibi would definitely be negligent, so it was a very simple matter for him to take Lujiang. But Zhang Liao finally underestimated the difficulty.

There is a big road connection between Lujiang and Jiangxia, but this road is built according to the river, if his 3,000 soldiers and horses take such a road, they will definitely be completely explored by Jiangdong, so even if Zhang Liao arrives at Lujiang, Lujiang City is already ready to meet the enemy, and Zhang Liao will be very miserable if he wants to take Lujiang.

There is another road between the Lujiang River and Jiangxia. The road is a small path, hidden between the mountains and deep forests, but it will take a lot of time. The danger is also high, and wild beasts and poisonous insects are infested.

In order not to let Jiangdong Sun Ce find out, Zhang Liao couldn't take care of it so much, and finally chose a small road.

The difficulty of the path surprised Zhang Liao, and in the process of traveling, Zhang Liao began to regret it.

Where is this path, it's simply a path that has been explored with human life.

Along the way, Zhang Liao's 3,000 soldiers and horses were attacked by wild beasts and poisonous insects, as well as subsidence, landslides, and swamps from time to time, and when the 3,000 soldiers and horses arrived at the Lujiang River, there were only 2,000 left. A thousand people were left on that path forever.

More than 1,000 brothers were killed and injured, and Zhang Liao's heart was distressed.

But Zhuge Liang's order was the most important, so Zhang Liao persisted. After arriving in the woods five miles away from Lujiang City, Zhang Liao did not immediately launch an attack on Lujiang, but sent scouts to disguise themselves to explore the reality of Lujiang City.

After a few days of hard work, the details of Lujiang City were clearly explored by Zhang Liao.

At this meeting, a scout came back to report the situation.

"Are you really sure that a force is coming to Lujiang?" Zhang Liao asked with an unchanged face.

The scout reported back: "Back to the general's words, the little one did see a force coming to Lujiang. At the same time, the small one also found out, and in the next few days, the troops in Lujiang City will continue to increase. ”

Zhang Liao's face was a little solemn, if the strength of Lujiang City continued to increase, it would not be a good thing for him. He was even wondering if he was going to attack Lu Jiang now.

At this moment, a scout quickly reported: "General Hui, ten miles away from our department, there is a Jiangdong army of several hundred men and horses moving in the direction of our department. ”

"Hundreds?" Zhang Liao suddenly had a bold idea in his mind, and continued to ask: "Have you found out clearly, are these hundreds of people coming specifically to our side?" ”

All the soldiers of the Liu Army began to be vigilant, if they came specifically for them, that is, their whereabouts were exposed.

The scout replied, "Back to the general's words, the small ones cannot be determined. ”

Zhang Liao pondered for a while, and then decisively ordered: "The whole army will be dispatched, and the hundreds of Jiangdong troops will be wiped out immediately." ”

All the Liu soldiers immediately came to their senses, they were too bored here. Zhang Liao strictly ordered them not to expose their whereabouts, and they couldn't even light a fire when they usually ate, resulting in these days, they eat raw and cold, and they are about to die of depression. Now that there is a war to fight, the soldiers are naturally excited. At the very least, a little activity can also soothe the depressed mood.
