Chapter 766: Discuss the Great Plan
Lu Kang had just misunderstood Sun Ce because of his impatience, and he didn't want to repeat the mistakes of the past at the moment, so he patiently asked about the conflict between Sun Ce and Xu Chun.
Shen You was very clear about this matter, and made a statement on behalf of Sun Ce, especially emphasizing two points: first, Xu Chun, as the first family of Yangxian, not only relied on his family power to encroach on a large amount of fertile land, but also communicated with the bandits. Secondly, Xu Chun wanted to be unfavorable to Sun Ce just because Sun Ce neglected him. If this kind of person is not born with a vicious heart, he is used to running rampant in the countryside. Think about it, Sun Ce is too guarded, he has thousands of soldiers in his hands, Xu Chun doesn't pay attention to it, if ordinary people provoke him, can they still have a good end?
To get rid of evil, such people must be eliminated. Xu Gong has been the governor of Wu County for a few years, and he has been the Taishou of Wu County for a few years, will he not know what kind of virtue Xu Chun is? Wang Zhen, the county prince he sent, conspired with Xu Chun, but he didn't know that he himself did not instruct him. Sun Ce came this time to ask the teacher to ask for the guilt, how could it be possible to return Xu Chun.
After listening to Shen You's explanation, Lu Kang couldn't say anything. It is true that he is from a family, but he is also dissatisfied with the Xu family's style, but he didn't know why Sun Ce copied the Xu family before he came. Now that he knows the reason, he naturally doesn't want to have anything to do with Xu Chun, but feels that Xu Gong is suspected of using him, and he is very annoyed.
"The general only has a few thousand people, can he take Gusu?"
Sun Ce owes a salute. "Thank you Lu Gong for your concern, I was about to ask Lu Gong for help."
Lu Kang pondered for a moment. "General, I have a word, I hope the general can be honest."
"Please speak up."
"You rectified Xu Chun, not just because he was not good for you. Do you want to carry out the things you did in Runan at Wu Hui? β
Lu Kang looked directly at Sun Ce, his eyes unblinking. He didn't pay attention to Xu Chun's life and death, Xu Gong's requirements, but if Sun Ce wanted to attack the Wu Jun family, it would be difficult for the Lu family to stay out of it. The reason why he agreed to Xu Gong's request to see Sun Ce was the real purpose.
"Lu Gong, I want to solve the problem of land annexation and let the landless displaced people resettle and settle down, shouldn't it?"
Lu Kang frowned, stroked his beard, and didn't speak for a long time. He has been an official for many years, how can he not know the dangers of land annexation? "General, I support your idea very much, but it is too widely implicated."
"I know, so I'm not in a hurry, I'm going to move forward step by step, I can take a small step, a little more cautious, but I will never retreat. Lu Gong, you can go to Nanjun and Runan to have a look, and there is a public opinion on right and wrong. Even Xu Chun, if he wasn't so bold, I wouldn't have dealt with him like this. I have encountered so much trouble in Runan, if I want to kill someone, can the Pingyu Xu family stay until now? β
Sun Ce said it very politely, even humblely, but Lu Kang was shocked when he heard it. He stared at Sun Ce for a long time and let out a long sigh. "The general is so murderous."
Sun Ce smiled but said nothing. He has already said the truth that should be said, and he must put a little pressure on Lu Kang. The situation is changing, there are always some people who want to be eliminated, and if Lu Kang chooses to fight, he has nothing to be polite about. The words can be said to be nice, but the knife must be held tightly.
"Where is Wei Zhoulin, was he detained by Xu Gong?"
"He's in the city, he's safe."
Sun Ce was silent. Wei Teng didn't come back to recover his life, so he naturally turned his face with Xu Gong, but Xu Gong actually failed to kill Wei Teng, which surprised him. It can be seen that the Wujun family is still a little confident, and they don't take Xu Gong very seriously. Since this is the case, it depends on how Lu Kang and the others choose, whether they help him get rid of Xu Gong, or sit back and watch the success or failure, or even help Xu Gong deal with him, which will determine the fate of their respective families.
Lu Kang understood what Sun Ce meant, arched his hand, and said goodbye.
ββ
Lu Kang replied to Xu Gong, Xu Chun is evil first, and he deserves it, don't worry about that, Fujun, let's think about how to explain it to Sun Ce, your county Wang Zhen and Xu Chun are in cahoots and have been detained by Sun Ce.
Xu Gong was furious, and he drew his knife to cut Lu Kang. Lu Kang was very unimpressed. I've lived for more than sixty years, I haven't seen anything, and I'm still afraid of your threat?
Facing Lu Kang's disdainful eyes, Xu Gong didn't dare to make a move in the end. It's easy to kill Lu Kang, it's a matter of a knife. But behind Lu Kang is the entire Wu County family, without the support of these families, he, the Wu County Taishou, would not be able to do it. Not only that, Lu Kang himself has a good reputation, and ordinary people also admire him, killing Lu Kang, Wu County people are afraid to hate him to the core.
Lu Kangshi left, and Xu Gong was so angry that he smoked. I wanted to put Sun Ce in a dilemma, but I didn't expect Sun Ce to easily defuse his counterattack, but instead drove him into a corner, accusing him of harboring Xu Chun and being embarrassed - Wang Zhen is his county minister, Wang Zhen and Xu Chun are embarrassed, and they are naturally instructed by him.
Sun Ce detained Wang Zhen, the soldiers came to the city, and Xingshi asked for the guilt, he couldn't close the door. It's also too humiliating.
Xu Gong thought about it and decided to take the initiative. Repelled Sun Ce, Wu Jun is still his, and even if the Wu Jun family has different intentions, they may not dare to tear their faces with him. If Sun Ce is allowed to stay outside the city, the Wu Jun family has some hopes and is ready to move, and he, the Wu County Taishou, will be hollowed out sooner or later and abandoned as a cheat.
Xu Jing resolutely objected, but he couldn't stop Xu Gong. In desperation, he had to say goodbye to Xu Gong and leave Jiaozhou. Xu Gong scoffed at Xu Jing's weakness. He said to Xu Jing, you can get on the boat first, but don't be in a hurry to go, in case I win, you can come back. If I lose, it's never too late for you to go.
Xu Jing waved his hand and walked away.
ββ
Lu Kang returned to the mansion and sent someone to invite Zhang Yun, Gao Dai and others to convey Sun Ce's meaning.
The land annexation must be resolved, but Sun Ce does not want to meet with everyone, hoping to discuss the big plan. Lu Kang didn't know much about Runan, but he was willing to believe Sun Ce's words, the reason was very simple, Xu Shao had fought with Sun Ce for so long, and Sun Ce did not uproot the Xu family, and let Xu Shao leave Runan safely, which shows that what he said was true. He can do this in Runan, and now that he has returned to his hometown, he will never be more out of line than Runan. Even if there is a disagreement, as long as everyone remains sensible, a solution can always be found.
Secondly, Sun Ce put forward an important point: Wuhui is not a barbarian land, long before Taibo went to Wu, Wuhui was the place where the sage Shun Yu successively patrolled and hunted, and it has long been a member of Chinese civilization, and those ancient legends may be facts, not just legends. If further research can be carried out and more evidence can be found, it is likely that the history of Wu Hui will be rewritten, and the achievement will be higher than that of Handan Chun and Hu Zhao of Nanyang County.
The people invited by Lu Kang are all famous people in Wu County, even if they are not very good at learning, they are also a little proud, and they have both a yearning for the civilization of the Central Plains and a sense of inferiority. Suddenly, I heard that Wu Hui had the opportunity to trace the history back to the Shunyu era, comparable to the Central Plains, and suddenly became interested, especially Gao Dai and others, who regarded themselves as scholars. This is an immortal feat, and if it can be successful, there will be a place in the Wuhui PanthΓ©on.
Gao Dai said: "Although General Sun is not famous for his literature, he is far-sighted and very much in line with the sage's education. Lu Gong, if you preside over this matter, although I am not talented, I am willing to attach Jiwei. β
Lu Kang said a few words modestly and happily obeyed. "Zhou Lin, Wu will be one, such a big matter, the sages of the Huiji can't stay out of it."
Wei Teng smiled: "Since Lu Gong said so, although I am stupid, I dare not do the work of dogs and horses." Even if you can't dance and ink, you should also run for you. β
