Chapter 176: Lu Xun is hostage
When Bu Qiu conveyed Liu Bei's request for hostages, Sun Quan was furious.
"The long-eared thief deceives people too much, once the contract is signed, he should fulfill the agreement alone, will he still go back on his word?"
Seeing this, Lu Xun had to smile bitterly and said, "Although Liu Bei has never said it explicitly, but here and now, those who are equal to Guan Yu's status, below the lord, are only the ministers, the governors." ”
Sun Quan hurriedly said, "Bo Yan, you are the backbone of this room, how can you leave lightly?" ”
Bu Qi also persuaded, "Looking at the Fazheng, a mean appearance that will be retribution, it is hard to guarantee that it is not a plan to get rid of Boyan and then hurry!" Bo Yan has a lot to do, and he must not agree lightly. ”
Lu Xun said, "The country can't be left without an owner for a day, Cao Cao Chen soldiers are on the border, and the ministers urgently need the lord to preside over the overall situation." The top priority is to complete the delivery as soon as possible, so that the lord can leave for Zhenjiangling. Liu Bei also saw this moment, so he dared to make this non-dividing request. ”
After a pause, he said, "The lord can rest assured, the law of guarding the camp, the minister has entrusted all the righteous seals (Zhu Ran characters)." He is thoughtful, and he should be able to protect the camp thoroughly. ”
Sun Quan asked with concern, "It's just that Bo Yan's safety is in danger, and I can't rest assured." ”
Lu Xun smiled and said, "For the sake of the family and the country, the minister does not dare to spare his life." Moreover, the minister is not a dough to be kneaded, and there is also a way to protect himself, so please don't worry about it. ”
Sun Quan stepped forward and shook Lu Xun's hands, and said movingly, "Jun is lonely, Chen Ping is to Bai Deng." When you return safely, you and I will share weal and woe, enjoy wealth together, and live up to it forever! ”
Lu Xun stayed in the Wu camp for another two days, and when the appointed day arrived, he said goodbye to Sun Quan and Zhu Ran, and came to the Han army camp alone.
Jiang Wei was ordered to greet him at the camp gate, but he saw that the person in front of him was no more than six feet long, his face was white and beardless, and he was delicate and elegant.
He knew that Lu Xun was born in the sixth year of Guanghe, and he was already over thirty-five years old this year, only two years younger than Zhuge Liang.
But because of proper maintenance, he looks like a handsome young man in his twenties. Standing on its side, a bookish breath suddenly came to his face.
As the master, he immediately bowed down and hugged his fists and said, "Under Jiang Wei, is it Lu Dudu?" ”
Lu Xun also looked the young man in front of him up and down, smiled slightly, and hugged his fists and said, "It's Lu Xun." ”
Jiang Wei continued, "The prince has the habit of getting up early, and he has already set off for Jiangbei at this time. The king of Hanzhong ordered to accompany the governor to cross the river, and the right to go to the camp in the north of the Yangtze River for a few days. ”
According to Fa Zheng's plan, Guan Yu wanted to take Lu Xun with him as a hostage and go to the Jiangbei camp to handle the handover of Jingzhou military and civilians.
But Guan Yu didn't want to see Lu Xun, so he took a boat to Jiangbei early under the guards of Wang Fu and Zhao Lei.
Fa Zheng had no choice but to arrange for Jiang Wei, who had always been reassuring, to come forward to receive Lu Xun.
Lu Xun was very conscious of being a hostage, nodded with a smile, and said no more.
The two of them immediately rode their horses to the ferry.
Jiang Wei was three points curious and seven points vigilant about the famous minister in front of him, and his eyes drifted from time to time.
As a hostage, Lu Xun's vigilant eyes towards him were naturally very clear, but every time the two of them met their eyes, he would always avoid it slightly, and immediately showed a modest smile.
This made Jiang Wei suddenly have an impression of "a gentleman of words, warm as jade".
The two were speechless all the way, and after a cup of tea, they came to a wharf, where a building boat was already waiting.
Jiang Wei stretched out his hand to make a petition, Lu Xun bowed slightly, and then strode on.
Before leaving, Fa Zhengqian told and instructed him not to get away with this man named Lu Xun, and even sent thirty additional tiger guards to this ship. At this time, the ship was crowded, all fully armed, with a fierce face.
Lu Xun didn't care, he was calm, and entered the exclusive cabin under the guidance of the guards.
As a result, two worlds were formed inside and outside the cabin.
But I saw the male soldiers outside the cabin lined up and the murderous spirit was revealed; Although Lu Xun in the cabin was alone, he was calm and didn't care.
Jiang Wei could clearly see Lu Xun's tranquil face through the pre-drilled pores for surveillance, and in the morning light that came in from this window, he was carefully reading a book, scattering the silence of the room.
Although there was only a short moment of contact, Jiang Wei realized that Lu Xun was a forbearant person.
I can't help but think that this may have something to do with his experience as a teenager.
The Lu family of Wujun is the leading local family Gaomen, and the head of the family, Lu Kang, has both virtue and talent, and once served as the Taishou of Lujiang.
As Lu Kang's grandson, Lu Xun's childhood was dazzling, and his future life path has been completely planned.
If nothing else, sooner or later he will be promoted to Maocai, become a local bureaucrat and enter the official career, marry a well-connected wife, and then rely on family education and family power to establish a career, becoming a world-renowned generation of ministers.
However, his smooth life came to an abrupt end in the early years of Xingping (194 AD).
At that time, Sun Ce raised troops and besieged Lujiang, Lu Kang fought to the death, and even though more than half of the more than 100 people of the Lu clan died, they still failed to prevent the fall of Lujiang.
At the same time, in order to gnaw this hard bone, Sun Ce lost his troops and lost generals, and spent two years in vain.
Because of this relationship, there is a great estrangement between the Sun family and the Lu family of Wu County.
After the pacification of Jiangdong, the Sun family has always connived at land occupation and private arming, so as to encircle the local wealthy families.
However, only the Lu clan of Wujun not only lost the treatment of the wealthy family, but also confiscated the disciples.
This year, Lu Xun, who was still hiding from the war in Wu County, was just a teenager.
As a loser, he is destined to be watched, destined to be watched out, destined to be robbed of all the aura of the past.
Jiang Wei couldn't help but wonder to himself, if he grew up in this environment, what kind of character would he eventually develop?
To put it nicely, it is cautious and modest; To put it bluntly, it is to clamp the tail and be a man.
Therefore, Lu Xun has become accustomed to wrapping himself in a cautious attitude and humble words, but this is not a disguise, but an instinct created by danger.
Guan Yunchang, who has a torch eye, can see through Cao Cao's reality and Sun Quan's ambition, but he can't see Lu Xun's forbearance.
Lu Xun was able to deceive Guan Yu, which was definitely not an accident.
From the ferry port on the south bank of the Yangtze River to the newly established Daying in Jiangbei, the ferry will arrive in half a day.
The new camp was only used for the people's delivery, and there were no important fortifications. Therefore, under the dedication of Ma Liang, it took only two days to build it.
When Jiang Wei and Lu Xun arrived, Guan Yu, Ma Liang, Wang Fu, Zhao Lei and others had already begun to deal with the handover matters.
Jiang Wei knew that Guan Yu didn't want to see Lu Xun, so he hurriedly sent him to a camp tent, arranged thirty tiger guards according to the left and right, and went to Guan Yu to resume his life.
Guan Yu responded with a peaceful voice, and knew about it, and turned his attention to the handover scene again.
