Chapter Ninety-Nine - Zhou Yu's Recommendation

Under Cao Cao's single operation, Liu Xie also had to listen to Cao Cao's advice, so he could only open his mouth to reward Sun Quan and give him an official position in the court.

"That is the case, according to what Qing said, I ordered his grandson Quan to be the general and the chief of the council, and as for the position of marquis, he will inherit it together!"

When Lu Xun heard Liu Xie's reward, he was also shocked in his heart, and his eyes secretly glanced towards Cao Cao.

He couldn't have imagined that the official position given by Liu Xie in the end could be said to be the same as when he won over Sun Ce, he thought that he could keep Sun Ce's official position before he came, but he never expected that even the position of marquis was also in his hands.

Of course, he also knew that this was not what Liu Xie really meant, but it was just because of Cao Cao's deterrence on the side.

In Liu Xie's heart, where are there any loyal ministers in the world at this time, they are all rebellious parties and rebels who occupy one side, and what is there to reward.

Even Yuan Highway, the third prince of the fourth world, usurped the throne and slapped the Son of Heaven in the face, making the Han court, which was already majestic and sweeping, once again expose his fragile side to the eyes of the people of the world.

Although Yuan Shu, who was finally called emperor, died, the impact caused by it will not dissipate after all.

If it weren't for everyone to see that the emperor would become the target of the public at this time, causing a siege, I am afraid that everyone would want to live an addiction to the Son of Heaven!

Although all the princes have not yet been able to claim the title of emperor at this time, after the incident of Yuan Shu, Liu Xie's heart has already been extremely transparent.

But they are all ambitious people, and they say that they are high-sounding, but in fact, everything they do is the same lowly and dirty, and no one is necessarily nobler than others.

But as the Son of Heaven, what is the difference between him and a puppet?

Without Cao Cao, he is nothing!

Perhaps, as Cao Cao said, people are driven by desires and confuse their hearts, and if there is no norm between desires and hearts, the world will be chaotic.

Using external forces to restrict, standardize desires and hearts according to law, and use this to correct the world, can we really restore the peace of the world?

Maybe, but in that world, Liu Xie can confirm that it will no longer have anything to do with his Han family.

It will be a new world, a world full of vitality and infinite future, not his Han world, which is already lifeless and cannot see the direction of the invitation.

Although Liu Xie has long known in his heart that there will be no eternal inheritance in this world, he still does not want to face the reality after all.

He obviously has many ideas in his heart that he wants to implement, but under the progress of history, what can he do with one Liu Xie?

Sometimes, Liu Xie even felt that it was the most correct choice for him to just let go, ignore anything, and let him go along the ruts of history.

But is he willing?

Is he willing?

No!

How could he be willing!

How could he be willing!

He is the son of heaven of the Han family, how can he say that he is defeated.

He wants to gamble everything for the survival of the Han family, so that even if he loses in the end, loses all the way and even loses his life, he will have no regrets!

And he did all this just because he was the Son of Heaven!

Regardless of whether the princes of all walks of life respect it or not, as long as he still reigns for one day, he is still the most noble existence in the world!

Because he is the Son of Heaven, he has to bear more pressure, not for anything else, but just to make himself worthy of the word Son of Heaven that he carries.

As for Cao Cao, the original plan did not want to reward Sun Quan for such an official position, the earliest idea was just to let him lead the Taishou of Wu County, as for the capture of the general and the title of Marquis of Wu, Cao Cao did not think of giving Sun Quan at all.

He clearly knew that Sun Quan was not as good as Sun Ce.

Sun Ce is bold and domineering, with the aura of a warrior, and calling him Jiangdong Xiaobawang is the best portrayal of him.

And what about Sun Quan's blue-eyed child?

It's just a cold poisonous snake that hides behind others, and once it is targeted, you must be prepared to be attacked by it.

If you don't take a bite, how can you be called a benevolent person.

Whether it is a person who is kind to him or someone who has an enmity to him, Sun Quan will not treat it objectively, he only judges by the standards in his heart.

For such a poisonous snake, Cao Cao couldn't help but suspect that the death of his Sun Ce was largely related to it.

Cao Cao couldn't help but have this suspicion, after all, Cao Cao clearly knew Sun Quan's ambitions in his heart.

For a person who is ungrateful and unrighteous, in order to be able to realize his ambitions, it is not impossible to make a move against his loved ones.

Therefore, his fear of Sun Quan was far higher than that of Sun Ce.

After all, for people like Sun Ce, they only like to go straight and are not good at using intrigues and tricks, the only thing they are good at is to take advantage of the general trend and crush all the way.

The so-called royal road is also like this.

When Lu Xun left Sikong Mansion yesterday, Cao Cao told Guo Jia the decision in his heart.

He thought that after listening to his arrangement, Guo Jia would agree after all, but he didn't want to be vetoed.

Guo Jia just shook his head, and said a word to Cao Cao, which instantly overturned the decision in his heart.

"Does the lord want him to buy people's hearts?"

Maybe at first glance, it feels like it's confusing, and it's foggy to hear, but how could Cao Cao hear the implicit meaning in Guo Jia's mouth.

After all, Cao Cao is not stupid.

If Cao Cao was stupid, he would have lost his life when he assassinated Dong alone, and how could he get to the point where he is today.

You must know that Cao Cao at this moment can be said to be coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and he naturally occupies the righteousness.

Many times, Cao Cao needed just an edict, just like that.

As for why Guo Jia said, Cao Cao's decision was to let Sun Quan buy people's hearts, which also involved the origin of the Sun family.

According to Sun Jian's own words, his ancestor is the soldier saint Sun Wu!

However, his Sun Jian's family lives in the land of Wu County, which inevitably makes people doubt the authenticity of their ancestors.

After all, Sun Wu was a native of Qi during the Spring and Autumn Period, and Wu County, where Sun Jian's family lived, was where Wu Yue was located during the Spring and Autumn Period.

Although he said that his family was a migrator, not everyone would believe it.

It's just that the Sun family was born in the land of Wu County, which in itself gave Sun Quan the convenience of buying people's hearts, after all, Sun Quan was originally born in Fuchun County, Wu County.

For an ambitious person, how could such a convenient opportunity not be seized?

Although because Sun Jian served as the Taishou of Changsha and left Wu County, the family of Wu County did not recognize him as a member of the Jiangdong family, but in terms of the Sun family's control of Jiangdong at this time, the most important thing is whether the name of his rule is recognized.

And for Sun Quan, who grew up in Wu County, he still has a natural advantage in saying a few words of Wu Yuenong, which is close to the people, and wants to win his heart.

If he is rewarded as Wujun Taishou at this moment, it will be in line with Sun Quan's intentions, and it will become what Guo Jia said.

It's just that this kind of buying people's hearts is extremely unfavorable for Cao Cao.

Once it is united, with the help of geographical advantages, although Sun Quan may not be able to fight to the north, if Cao Cao wants to dominate the world, it will definitely be difficult to cross the river to the south.

Not to mention how strong his Sun Quan is after unifying the hearts of the people under his rule, just the group of soldiers under Cao Cao are all people from the north, who don't know the nature of water, and it is not easy to cross the river.

There are many rivers in the east of the river, although horse warfare and foot warfare are not good, but to say that its water warfare is extremely good at it.

Just not spitting this point is enough for its Jiangdong soldiers to beat a group of northern soldiers fiercely.

Therefore, under Guo Jia's persuasion, Cao Cao finally decided to replace Sun Quan's Wujun Taishou with Huiji Taishou, at least not on his own territory, and it would not be so easy to mix his own people into it.

After all, the power of the Jiangdong family is very complicated, and if one is not handled well, it is very likely to cause big problems and threaten Sun Quan's dominance.

After all, he has just ascended to the throne, and his prestige among the generals is not high at this time.

As for the title of captivating the general and the Marquis of Wu, it is just another means of appeasement for Cao Cao, just a Taishou position, he wants to send Sun Quan, how can Sun Quan be willing.

Let's not mention that Lu Xun accepted Liu Xie's reward for Sun Quan in the court of Xu Du, let's just say that Zhou Yu implied suspicion of Sun Quan in his heart, that is, after burying Sun Ce, he made a statement to Sun Quan and was willing to recommend an internal affairs talent for him.

The intention was just to leave Sun Quan's side first, so that he could investigate carefully in secret.

After hearing Zhou Yu's words, Sun Quan couldn't help but be curious about what Zhou Yu said about internal affairs talents.

After all, Zhou Yu's name is here, and how can anyone who can be praised by Zhou Yu be mediocre.

What's more, what Zhou Yu recommended was still internal affairs talents, which made Sun Quan's heart look forward to it.

He is different from his eldest brother Sun Ce, because he does not often lead troops, but prefers to play with the art of power and scheming, that is, he clearly knows that if he wants to develop a place, he wants to be peaceful under his rule, and internal affairs are an indispensable and important element.

After all, if the internal affairs are not good and the food and grass are not enough, what will he use as his capital to stand in troubled times.

And without the capital to stand in troubled times, then people will be beaten every minute.

Soon, destruction will befall him.

Therefore, after learning the news that Zhou Yu personally invited the person he recommended in order to be appointed immediately, Sun Quan quickly agreed to his request and ordered him to bring the recommended talent as soon as possible.

Although Lu Xun had not yet brought back the reward from the imperial court at this time, everyone knew that the Taishou of a county would definitely not be able to escape.

And as a county guard, why not open a government office.

Now that it is a troubled time, who will really care whether the person who opened the government has the qualifications or not.

What's more, although the imperial court only rewarded a county Taishou, everyone knows who the real controller of this Jiangdong land is, and how can they really care if there is a violation of the system!

In a manor in Linhuai Dongcheng County, Zhou Yu was sitting in the study, slowly drinking tea, and the man sitting opposite his table and above the main seat was the target of his trip.

Glancing at the man sitting in front of him, Zhou Yu's eyebrows furrowed slightly: "Zijing, can you help me?" ”

After hearing Zhou Yu's words, the head of the Lu family, who was called Zijing by Zhou Yu, couldn't help but feel funny, and teased Zhou Yu: "You are beautiful and resourceful, but there are times when you need help?" ”

Hearing Lu Su's words, Zhou Yu shook his head, sighed, and was silent.

If you want to talk about the intersection between Zhou Yu and Lu Su, you have to start from when Zhou Yu was the head of the nest.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the eunuchs were autocratic, expropriating and expropriating, and all families were crazy about annexing land, which caused a large number of their peasants to flee and become homeless.

In this situation of poor livelihood, in the first year of Zhongping, Zhang Jiao led the Taiping Sect to break out in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and so far, the world has completely entered the troubled times.

The Han Dynasty suffered a devastating blow in this, and at the same time, it also exposed the weakness of the Han Dynasty to the heroes of the world.

This also made the Han Dynasty usher in Dong Zhuo's troubles and the rebellion of Li Dao and Guo Yan later, and at the same time, because of Dong Zhuo's rebellion in the court, the last fig leaf of the Han Dynasty was also torn off, which completely lost the face of the Han Dynasty.

In the process of suppressing the Yellow Turban Rebellion in the Han Dynasty, the separatist forces in various places continued to expand, and for a while, the heroes rose up everywhere, and the world was in chaos.

However, at this time, Lu Su not only did not manage family affairs, but instead gave a large amount of money and sold land to help the poor and make friends with sages.

For this reason, Lu Su is also deeply supported by his villagers.

At that time, Zhou Yu was the head of the nest, and after hearing the name of Lu Su, he brought hundreds of people to visit and asked him to fund some food.

It is said that there are two large round granaries in the backyard of Lu Su's house, each of which is filled with 3,000 grains.

When Zhou Yu just said to Lu Su that he wanted to borrow grain, Lu Su did not hesitate, and immediately pointed to one of the warehouses and gave it to Zhou Yu.

After this incident, Zhou Yu was also very sure that Lu Su was a different person, and took the initiative to associate with him, and soon the two established an unbreakable friendship like Gongsun Qiao and Ji Zha.

"Bo Fu is dead!"

“……”

After being silent for a long time, Zhou Yu finally opened his mouth.

It's just that after Lu Su heard Zhou Yu's words, he could only be speechless.

With a sigh, Lu Su said to Zhou Yu: "I know! ”

"I suspect that Bo Fu's death may have another reason, not that he died under Huang Zu's cold arrow!" After hearing Lu Su's response, Zhou Yu's brows furrowed, and he said lightly, "I always feel that although that cold arrow was shot from Xiling City, it was definitely not shot by Huang Zu's men!" ”

"He doesn't have such a shooter in his hands!"

Lu Su heard Zhou Yu's words, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Gongjin, you don't want to say that this matter will have something to do with Sun Quan......
