After Lu Peng ordered him to come in, he first smiled and said to Sun Miao: "Old brother, I have already told you, in our Youzhou, he is the closest and heaviest person to me, and if you want to see me come over at any time, as long as it is not when my wife and I are doing the Zhou Gong ceremony, you don't have to report at all when you come in." ”

Sun Miao was moved to bow down again: "There is a difference between the top and bottom, and the ceremony cannot be abolished." ”

Regarding this old man's stubbornness, Lu Peng was really helpless, so he could only divert the topic: "My brother is in such a hurry to bring someone to see me in person, there must be something important, and let's hear about it." ”

Sun Miao said directly: "A brother from the patrol has just come back, saying that he saw a huge fleet of ships entering the Yangtze River at the mouth of the Yangtze River. ”

Lu Peng's brows furrowed, Sun Quan was in the upstream, and if there was another fleet in the downstream, he would be attacked up and down, and he would be really in danger at that time.

However, looking at Sun Miao, who was not in a hurry, it seemed that the situation was not so serious, so he waited for his next step.

"And this brother reciprocated, it was our merchant fleet from Youzhou who came over."

Lu Peng let out a sigh of relief, but his expression became nervous.

Since he signed a maritime alliance with the Jiangnan family, even if the market in the south is opened, the economy of Youzhou will be saved, so that the merchants who traffic south are like carp crossing the river every day.

But it is not the right time for such a large team to come over today, because he may want Sun Quan to have an explanation, so that these businessmen who arrive will become a drag on him.

"Tell the fleets to stop their cargo ships at the mouth of the Yangtze River and not come in."

As a result, Sun Miao said: "The lord is wrong this time, none of these merchants who came this time brought a cargo ship, they all came alone, they have already said that they are standing on the platform for the lord." ”

Lu Peng was stunned, and the corners of his eyes were a little moist, at this time, these northern family patriarchs came to support themselves with their lives.

"Hurry up and ask them to come over." Lu Peng hurriedly ordered.

Sun Miao went out, and then personally drove a fast boat to the mouth of the Yangtze River to meet him.

Looking at Sun Miao's distant back, Lu Peng was moved and worried, so he stood at the bow of the boat and waited for a long time.

After a long time, the fleet, which was almost invisible at a glance, arrived at Lu Peng's camp. Then on those ships came the patriarchs of the various families of the North, as well as representatives of the heavyweights.

Lu Peng stood on his huge warship and greeted them in person.

Among these people, there are those who know, but more of them don't know, but whether they know or don't know, they are full of gratitude and perseverance when they see Lu Peng.

Nearly a thousand people arrived, crowding Lu Peng's battleship to the brim, and after seeing the last person board his battleship, Lu Peng quietly breathed a sigh of relief, because here, he didn't see any officials from his Youzhou, not a single one.

So he sighed: "Tian Chou is really stable, and he is relieved to hand over Youzhou to him to take care of." Then he still muttered a little sourly: "The truth is this truth, but I am still unhappy in my heart, and I feel like I have been abandoned." "This kind of mentality is normal, if Lu Peng really understands and lets go, then he is not a human being.

This time the confrontation between himself and Sun Chuan, the consequences are really unpredictable, but if you only bear it independently, you can still have room for maneuver in the end. It's really not good, it's just a cheeky one.

And once his Youzhou sent an army of officials, the result would be out of control, and Cao Cao didn't go to fight at that time, only to fight to the death with Sun Quan in Jiangdong first, which no one wants to see.

When Tian Chou got the news at that time, he immediately convened a cabinet meeting, and urgently took Tian Feng and other old people over to participate, and the final decision was that everyone treated Lu Peng, the lord, as if he were air.

So a group of Youzhou officials collectively arrived at Lu Peng's house, stood in front of Lu Peng's bedroom, and for the first time collectively bowed to the little lord who was holding Wan'er's arms and bowed very solemnly, which was to express the determination of the entire Youzhou subjects to support Lu Peng's decision, even if the lord appeared with three long and two short, they respected this child who was still nursing as the lord and continued Lu Peng's unfinished business.

The scene at that time was tragic, and everyone almost wrote Lu Peng's name directly on the tablet to get the temple name of Emperor Gao Zusi.

When you meet, there is nothing else to say, and everyone is grateful in their hearts.

Lu Peng invited nearly 500 representatives of the patriarchs of various families, yes, now in Youzhou, the original clans can only be commensurate with their families. Because as the standard of the clan that can influence the situation, it has slowly been lost and retreated in those clans in Youzhou.

But God Lu Peng closed a door for them, but opened a broader and less dangerous door for them, which made those families who became families not only did not complain about Lu Peng, but were grateful to Dade.

In particular, the appearance of nearly a thousand businessmen and workshop owners made Lu Peng sigh in his heart that his approach this time was finally rewarded.

came from afar, the boat was tired, especially those landlubbers, when they got off the boat, they all turned into soft-footed shrimp, and some of them couldn't help it, and they gave Lu Peng a warm shower.

So, Lu Peng came to a light and refreshing night banquet in the south of the Yangtze River on the shore where the camp depended.

In this night banquet, no one was disappointed to mention the possible future war, all of them showed their heroic and dissolute side, singing and drinking, flying with big sleeves, and for a time the nonsense poems and songs echoed on the river, it was really a chic outing.

Others don't say it, but Lu Peng wants to say, he holds a wine glass, and drinks with them one by one, after the banquet, Lu Peng said to them sincerely: "The future situation is weird, and I can't grasp it myself, so it's quite dangerous here, you are all the head of the family, and the long-term development and fate of the entire family are on your shoulders, and you can't miss it, so my last glass of wine is a send-off for you." ”

Thousands of people stood up suddenly, and a family patriarch familiar to Lu Peng walked to the front, holding the wine glass in both hands and said: "I'm either old or young, I can't lift a knife, I can't move my fists and feet, here, I can only drag down the lord." ”

Lu Peng breathed a sigh of relief slightly.

"But we have a throat and a pair of fists that can be waved, and we will stand behind the lord and wave the flag and shout for the lord, so please forgive me for not accepting this cup of send-off wine from the lord." Then he poured down the glass in his hand. The thousands of family patriarchs and representatives behind him also spilled their drinks on the ground.

This is a statement, they are telling Lu Peng that no matter what the general trend of the world is, they will stand firmly behind Lu Peng.

Lu Peng was completely moved this time, in fact, in principle, these families in the north should hate Lu Peng the most, because Lu Peng implemented a policy of suppressing the family, but the result was like this, they did not resent Lu Peng's policy, but firmly supported him, how could this not move Lu Peng?

Since he couldn't persuade everyone, Lu Peng agreed to let everyone stay, which could be regarded as showing his influence to the Jiangdong family.

But it was also after this time that a drawback was left for the entire Han Dynasty, that is, with the Yangtze River as the boundary, the northern and southern families completely broke up, and this situation has continued until the millennium of later generations. It has also fundamentally solved the problems that plagued the politics of the Han nation.

comforted these people who supported him, Lu Peng was infinitely relieved that his policies and efforts were finally understood and rewarded.
