Chapter 372: Plotting against Jiangdong
"Big brother, make a decision. You and my own brother, will my second brother and I still harm you? You are now obedient to the city and the countryside, and you still have the work of the dragon. If he waits for the prime minister's troops to come to the city, and then returns to obedience, he will be just an ordinary general. And this Sun family can't support it for long! ”
"Third brother, what do you mean by this?"
"Hey...... Big brother, I won't hide it from you at this point. Originally, the prime minister and the second brother didn't let me tell you what I said, for fear that you would tell Sun Quan. The prime minister has rebelled against many cultural relics officials in Jiangdong, and he will go east in the near future! When the time comes, it will be easy to take Koto. ”
"What?" Zhuge Jin originally thought that Liu Congce's opposition to Zhang Zhaohe and others was just to weaken Jiangdong's strength. I didn't expect to be ready for the Eastern Crusade a long time ago. Doesn't that mean that no matter whether he is obedient or not, Liu Cong will soon be in the city?
No wonder Zhang Zhao's old fox hid so deeply, and he also kept saying that Cao Cao's faction was sabotaging and so on, just to divert his attention. No wonder he kept speaking for Liu Cong, just to cover up for Liu Cong's upcoming crusade? Didn't Sun Quan also get the news, so he sent Lu Su into Chaisang to take precautions in advance? If that's the case, then isn't Sun Quan hiding it from himself? Thinking of this, Zhuge Jin couldn't help but feel a chill in his back!
First, he was worried that Sun Quan would not be able to stop Liu Cong, of course, he was chilled by Sun Quan's deployment without concealing himself. No wonder Zhang Zhao spoke so lightly! It's horrible! If you are not trusted like Zhang Zhao, and you are still encouraged, it will be terrible! Although there was Lu Meng on the Western Front, Sun Ce sent Tai Shici and other six people in order to resist a Liu Oh press, and now Tai Si who could resist Liu Pan has died, and the second Sun Ce, Zhou Yu and others have also returned to heaven one after another. Second, Liu Cong's subordinates have more fierce generals Gan Ning! plus Lu Xun by Lumeng's side...... Zhuge Jin seems to have seen the instant rout of the Jiangdong Naval Army!
"Third brother, let's go back first. There are still many things to deal with on the big brother's side......"
"Big brother, when is it? , I'm waiting for your news here, as long as you make a decision, there will be a brocade guard to answer you. If you insist on resisting the prime minister's army with Sun Quan, tie me up and go to see Sun Quan!" ”
"You! Look at you, how could the eldest brother do that. You go back first, don't transfer the relatives here big brother...... There are also many relatives and friends, I don't know if I will have a chance to meet in this life today, and my eldest brother must say goodbye to them! ”
"Big brother! You promised? Zhuge Jun heard the meaning of Zhuge Jin's words.
"So far, the eldest brother doesn't seem to have a choice! The eldest brother was forced to this point by you and the second brother. Zhuge Jin sighed, this kind of ending was really something he didn't expect. Originally, he wanted to make contributions to Jiangdong again, and then borrowed the second and third brothers to Jiangdong. It's just that I didn't expect that the second brother's achievements in Xiangyang were obviously greater than him. Perhaps it is precisely for this reason that his lord Sun Quan will guard against himself. Even such a major event as the imminent war with Liu Cong, I have no way of knowing it by reading it! But think about it, Sun Ce drove his uncle away from the position of Lujiang Taishou back then. Second, now his second brother has become Liu Cong's big housekeeper......
If this is the case, Zhuge Jun's situation must be very dangerous, and he may be targeted as soon as he enters the city. Therefore, in addition to secretly arranging the transfer of his family, Zhuge Jin also sent his three out smoothly.
"Big brother, you don't have to worry about my safety, as long as the eldest brother is arranged here, there will be Jingzhou Jinyi guards inside and outside the city to respond! Big brother, you don't know how these brocade brothers are skilled. ”
"Really?" Zhuge Jin will be skeptical.
"Big brother, don't believe it. At that time, their commander with only six people stopped the pursuit of the 500 cavalry sent by Xu Chu from Xuchang. Let the Son of Heaven and Lord Xun go south calmly! Then, with more than 30 people, nearly 1,000 people blocked Zhang Jaw, so that Zhang Jaw couldn't escape in the end! Also, after they entered Jiangdong, they did a lot of earth-shattering things......"
"And those storytellers?" His third brother said so much, Zhuge Jin finally understood, no wonder Zhang Zhao covered for Liu Cong, where is this gap sent by Cao Cao, it is clearly Liu Cong's mother who sent to divide Jiangdong, look at Liu, Zhang Zhao has really surrendered to Liu Cong a long time ago.
"No, the storyteller is also one of the prime minister's plans. But it was not Jinyiwei who did it, but the descendants of Xuchang. ”
"Xuchang's descendants?" Zhuge Jin was stunned here, this Liu Cong really had a way, and he actually found Xuchang's descendants. Xuchang was beheaded by Sun Ce, and Xuchang's disciple assassinated Sun Ce in order to avenge Xuchang. Before the two sides went to war, disrupting Jiangdong, the descendants of Xuchang undoubtedly made an important chess piece.
"Yes, the descendants of Xuchang first fled to Hanzhong to become the county commander of Shangchong, and was later promoted to the commercial county guard by the prime minister. In order to repay the prime minister and avenge Xuchang, he took the initiative to sneak into Jiangdong to create chaos and divide Jiangdong. Also, the prime minister found the two sons of Liu Yao, the former Yangzhou assassin......"
"In this way, the lord's situation is really not good!" Zhuge Jin had to sigh, compared to Cao Cao's sword and soldier threats, Liu Cong opened his jaw and drew salary from the bottom of the kettle! "Next, does he plan to promote Liu Yao's son to Yangzhou official in the name of the imperial court, if Sun Quan accepts it, he will definitely be controlled by others. If it is not a calamity, it will give him the truth to fight. “
"Almost, big brother doesn't care about this for the time being. Hurry up, I'll go and contact Jinyiwei to send my sister-in-law and other family members out as soon as possible, and then our brothers will go back to Jingzhou together, the survival of the Jiangdong Sun family has little to do with us! “
"Hey......" Zhuge Jin didn't know how Liu Cong taxed others. In Zhuge Jin's view, he is also a prince of the younger generation, and Liu Cong is far superior to Sun Quan and Ma Chao. In the face of Cao Cao's threat, Jiangdong under the leadership of Sun Quan can be described as frozen. If it weren't for Liu Cong's sneak attack on Xuchang, Cao Cao's southern expedition last time might have been able to take Jiangdong in one fell swoop.
However, Liu Cong successfully blocked Cao Cao's southward pace twice, and even took the initiative to provoke and snatch the emperor of Han for the second time. Xiliang Ma Chao is also a new generation that shocks the world, but Ma Chao took the initiative to betray Cao Cao, which led to the killing of his father and brother, and he was also driven out of Guanzhong by Cao Cao. But Liu Cong wants to support the Han family with great fanfare, and has gradually accumulated enough capital! It's not that he Zhuge Jin doesn't pay attention to righteousness, Sun Quan will lose the battle of Sun Liu, so why should he be embarrassed between his two brothers.
Zhuge Jin's action of transferring his family was quite hidden, and he quietly left Wu County in the name of playing the piano three times, and then rushed to Jingzhou under the response of Jinyiwei. And Zhuge Jin himself asked Sun Quan for leave on the grounds of illness. Sun Quan is extremely upset by the rumors of Sun Ce's death. After transferring Lu Sudao out of Wu County, Sun Quan still regretted it a little in his heart. He knew that if Lu Su was unreliable, then no one in Jiangdong would assist him in defending against the powerful Cao Cao and the increasingly powerful Liu Cong.
But he just couldn't convince himself. And Sun Ce died, and Sun Quan also knew that his nephew Sun Shao had a lot of criticism about him. If it weren't for Zhang Zhao's strong pressure. I'm afraid that this Sun Shao will reason with himself. Sun Ce's death, Sun Quan had a clear conscience, so he still maintained a certain tolerance for Sun Shao's final behavior. Sun Quan himself didn't know if it was because of Lu Su's matter that he intended to indulge Sun Shao.
Sun Quan was so focused on dealing with the rumor-makers that he didn't even know that Zhuge Jin had left Wu County. Although Sun Quan has a certain precaution against Zhuge Jin in his heart. But he never imagined that Zhuge Jin would test Liu Cong at this time. In his opinion, although Zhuge Liang mixed well in Jingzhou. But after all, Zhuge Jin followed Sun Ce first, and Zhuge Liang followed Liu Cong for only a few years? If the two brothers may collude, Sun Quan even wants Zhuge Jin to lobby Zhuge Liang!
And Lu Xun, another target of Sun Quan's key prevention, also ushered in a guest from Jingzhou at this time. He is Liu Cong's third brother and Liu Wen's third brother Liu Xiu. It was a very risky move to let Liu Xiu visit Lu Xun, but Liu Cong didn't want to be an enemy of his brother-in-law. Not only because of Lu Xun's talent, but also because of the huge strength behind him - Jiangdong Lu.
Lu Xun's family background is a Jiangdong family. His grandfather, Lu Xianguan, was the captain of the city gate, and his father, Lu Jun, was the captain of Jiujiang (now Shouchundong, Anhui). Lu Xun lost his father at the age of ten, and followed his grandfather Lujiang to guard Lu Kang and study in his office. Later, due to the discord between Yuan Shu and Lu Kang, Sun Ce was instigated to capture Lujiang, and more than a month later, Lu Kang died of illness. Prior to this, Lu Kang had sent Lu Xun and his relatives to Jiangdong. Lu Kangzi Lu Ji is still young, so Lu Xun, who is only twelve years old, takes on the responsibility of supporting the portal.
The young Lu Xun is a gentle scholar. At that time, Lu Ji and his nephew Gu Shao were equally famous for their reading books, followed by Lu Xun, Zhang Dun, and Bu Jing. But history has pushed Lu Xun onto the political stage. [3]
After Sun Ce's death, Sun Quan succeeded his people and became a general, "recruiting Yan Junxiu and hiring famous people". Lu Xun was only twenty-one years old and was called into the shogunate of Sun Quan and became a staff member of Sun Quan's ruling group. Li Shi East and West Cao are the history of the order; Soon after, he served as the governor of Tuntian in Haichang (now Haining, Zhejiang) and the commander of Haichang County. Haichang has been hit by drought for many years, he opened a warehouse to help the poor, organized production to save himself, and alleviated the disaster, so he won the support of the people.
If Cao Cao had not conquered Jingzhou in the south, Lu Su would not have advocated the Sun-Liu alliance, and Lu Xun would not have known Liu Wen. Although marrying Liu Wen is a concubine. It is also to strengthen the Sun-Liu alliance. In the eyes of Lu Su and others, this pair of beauties has a part-time job. But Sun Quan didn't think so, his suspicious personality naturally reminded him of Lu Xun's grandfather Lu Kang. Coupled with Liu Cong's growing strength,
Sun Quan has to be guarded against! If he relies too heavily on Lu Xun, once Lu Xun rebels in the future, he will definitely fall into a very passive situation! From this point of view, Sun Quan doesn't seem to have done anything wrong.
