Chapter 173 Lu Xun surrendered to Cao
The fire filled the sky, and the wails arose.
The swords of the soldiers were raised mercilessly, and the lives of the soldiers were harvested bloodily.
Jiangdong Lu clan, a family collapsed.
As the lord of Jiangdong, Sun Jian wanted to let all the people of Jiangdong understand that his majesty was inviolable. If anyone dares to offend him, no matter who he is, he will only be punished!
The Lu clan is one of the four clans in Jiangdong, and now it has perished, causing a great impact in Jiangdong, and chaos and turmoil are inevitable for a while.
On the Yangtze River, a flat boat is driving on the water. In the cabin, there sat a handsome young man.
The young man is dressed in a white shirt, although he is young, he is already quite stylish.
The young man's expression was flat, and others couldn't see the joy and anger in his heart, but at this time, in his heart, he had long been hateful.
Looking at the vast surface of the water, looking at the hometown that was gradually disappearing, the young man sighed. I don't know when I will return this time.
But what if you don't leave? The family is gone, and even the homeland has no place of its own.
The young man is Lu Xun, Lu Boyan, a child of the Lu family in Jiangdong, who is only fifteen years old this year. When the Lu family was slaughtered, Lu Xun happened to be studying abroad, so he escaped.
When Lu Xun finished his study tour and returned to Jiangdong, he heard the news that the Lu family was slaughtered. At that moment, Lu Xun didn't dare to go home, but just sent a subordinate who followed him to investigate, and learned the cause and effect of the incident.
The head of the family, Lu Kang, was killed by Sun Jian, and the elders of the family sent a guest to assassinate Sun Jian in order to take revenge, but after the failure, he was slaughtered.
If Lu Xun was at home at the time, he would definitely do his best to dissuade the elders in the family from acting recklessly. But now that the matter is a foregone conclusion, hundreds of people of the Lu clan have been killed, he can't change anything, he can only hide the endless hatred in his heart, take the only remaining entourage, find a boat, and leave Jiangdong.
But where should I go after leaving Koto?
The revenge of more than 100 members of the Lu family must be avenged, and for this reason, Lu Xun must find a monarch who has the ability to destroy Jiangdong.
Liu Biao? No matter how he looks at it, he doesn't have that ability, and it's already very good that he can hold on to it without being destroyed by Sun Jian.
Is it possible that he wants to go to Cao Cao?
In fact, the destruction of the Lu clan also has a certain relationship with Cao Cao, if Cao Cao did not kill Sun Quan, but let him return, then the Lu clan will not only not be slaughtered, but will make a great contribution.
Of course, Lu Xun was not unreasonable enough to complain about Cao Cao. Since you, Sun Jian, are going to attack other people's cities, then Cao Cao can naturally behead your son after capturing him, and this is war.
Lu Xun thought about it and felt that among the princes, Cao Cao was the only one who might send troops to Jiangdong in the future.
If Cao Cao was defeated by Yuan Shao in Guandu, Lu Xun might not have voted for him. But Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao in Guandu before, and now the momentum is unique, if Lu Xun wants revenge, it seems that Cao Cao has become the only choice.
"I don't know what kind of person Cao Cao is?" Lu Xun looked up at the sky, and in addition to his hatred for Sun Jian, his heart was also full of confusion and uneasiness about the unknown future.
After all, he's just a fifteen-year-old now.
————————————————————————————————
"People from the Koto Lu clan?" Cao Cao couldn't help but be slightly surprised when he heard that someone was asking to see him, and he claimed to be a disciple of the Jiangdong Lu clan.
The fact that all the Lu clan was punished had also spread to the Central Plains and other places at this time, and Cao Cao had heard about it.
In the end, Cao Cao decided to meet the so-called Lu clansman.
"In Xia Lu Xun Lu Boyan, meet Sikong." Lu Xun entered and waved at Cao Cao, his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant.
Well? You're young. Seeing that the person who came turned out to be just a teenager, Cao Cao couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"Why have you come here?" Although Lu Xun behaved with extraordinary demeanor in front of Cao Cao, he was too young after all, and Cao Cao didn't care too much about him.
After all, there are more people in the world who are personable and have no real talent, let alone a teenager. There are many juniors with outstanding temperament in the Xun family and Chen family, but there are only a few of them who are really talented and hardworking.
"In the next place, I hope to be in the air." Lu Xun replied to Cao Cao.
From me? A fifteen-year-old boy? In the past, although there was a twelve-year-old Ganluo worshipping the prime minister, it is impossible to expect everyone to be Ganluo.
"Jiangdong Lu Clan, how many people are left?"
"Now Lu Xun is the only one left."
One person? Cao Cao stroked his beard slightly. If this Lu Xun is really the only fish that has slipped through the net, then the hatred for Sun Jian in his heart can be imagined. In this case, his purpose for coming to himself is also obvious. How should such a person be arranged?
"In that case, you should step aside for the time being, and wait for me to see who lacks a position such as a sword and pen officer next to me, and then inform you." Forget it, the other party is just a stinky boy after all, and it is impossible to give him a high position as soon as he comes, so let him start as a knife and pen clerk first. If you are really talented, you can promote them.
When Lu Xun heard this, his face changed slightly. A scribe is just a scribe who helps people write and correct the mistakes in the article.
Although Lu Xun is young, as the saying goes, ambition is not old age, and his ambition has always been very ambitious. Letting Lu Xun serve as a sword and pen official is simply an insult to him.
However, Lu Xun did not argue, he also knew that his fifteen-year-old age could not be valued by Cao Cao all at once, anyway, Lu Xun was confident in his talent, he believed that in time, he would be able to make a contribution to Cao Ying.
Can't be anxious, Lu Xun secretly warned himself. Even if Cao Cao attacked Jiangdong, it would be something that could happen after a long time, as long as at that time, he could get a general and lead a group of men and horses to kill Jiangdong.
"Thank you, Lord, for your kindness." Lu Xun thanked Cao Cao Dao. Although it is a bit aggrieved to start as a knife and pen officer, it is okay.
————————————————————————————————
One day, when it was nearly dusk, Gao Shun, as before, was drinking with Guo Jia in a restaurant he frequented.
Earlier in Cao Ying, Guo Jia was the only adviser close to Gao Shun, and although Xun Yu and others also valued Gao Shun, they did not have much contact.
After Gao Shun's literary fame grew, the number of literati and writers who came to communicate with Gao Shun increased, but for those people, Gao Shun generally avoided them.
What are you kidding, those people talk about poetry as soon as they meet, how can I have so many poems for you to discuss.
So Gao Shun still likes to hang out with Guo Jia, at least Guo Jia will only drink and talk with him, and will not ask to discuss poetry or anything.
After Zhang Zhongjing arrived in Xuchang, he had already seen Guo Jia and prescribed some prescriptions, so to speak, if nothing else, this Guo Jia would not die young as in history.
And another consequence of this is that Guo Jia is now more unscrupulous in drinking, and getting drunk is a common thing.
"There is a miracle doctor, as long as you don't get drunk on the spot, what are you afraid of?" This is Guo Jia's original words.
However, Gao Shun was very worried, with Guo Jia's drinking method, maybe there was a possibility that he would be drunk to death on the spot, if this was the case, it would be a tragedy. Guo Jia did not die early due to illness, but died of drunkenness, and Cao Cao will probably find himself desperate at that time. It's all your fault that you drank with Guo Jia all day long, and drank one of my big strategists.
So when it comes to drinking now, Guo Jia is an unrestrained booze, but Gao Shun has to pay attention to controlling Guo Jia's drinking.
"Recently, the lord arranged a new knife and pen clerk for me, and although the kid is young, he seems to be pretty good." Guo Jia drank three or four glasses, slightly drunk, and began to talk about some recent events.
"Oh? There are not many people who can make Fengxiao say the word good. Gao Shun smiled slightly, raised a glass of wine and drank it all before saying.
Indeed, Guo Jia has the name of a ghost talent, although his personality is not arrogant, but the standard of looking at people is still above the top, and it is not easy for ordinary people to be favored by him.
