Chapter 163: Kong Ming Appears
Cao Cao sent Wang Pu to carry the edict of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to Sun Ce, appointing him as the commander of the cavalry and taking over his father, the Marquis of Wucheng.
Chen Yu's army was stationed in Haixi, hundreds of miles north of the Yangtze River, and Sun Ce was south of the Yangtze River, which originally had nothing to do with each other, but at this time, since they had become neighbors, the two coveted each other's territory, so the war began.
Originally, Chen Yu was listed as the Taishou of Wu County, Sun Ce occupied Wu County earlier, Chen Yu was extremely angry, and now Cao Cao ordered Sun Ce to be the Marquis of Wucheng, Chen Yu finally couldn't stand it, so he led the troops south.
Sun Ce is worried that he can't find an excuse to you, but you come to abuse you, so Sun Ce is naturally not welcome.
It just so happened that Zhou Yu was also holding his stomach at this time, and the result was all sprinkled on Chen Yu's head.
So Chen Yu even lost the Guangling County area north of the Yangtze River and became Sun Ce's territory, while he abandoned his wife, fled to the north, and took refuge with Yuan Shao.
Now it's okay, Sun Ce sat down, and Yuan Shu finally raised his eyebrows.
But at this juncture, Yang Xi's strategy for Lu Bu played a role.
Yuan Shu sent to conquer Lu Bu's generals, Han Xian and Yang Feng, rebelled together.
When Lü Bu led his army to less than 100 steps away from Zhang Xun's camp, Han Xian and Yang were ordered to shout loudly and attack Zhang Xun with Lü Bu, but Zhang Xun was defeated and the army was completely lost.
Lu Bu and Han, Yang joined forces, land and water, chased straight to Zhongli, only two hundred miles away from Shouchun, Yuan Shu personally led 5,000 troops in the south of Huaishui to watch the movement, Lu Bu ordered the sergeant to laugh at Yuan Shu loudly in the north of Huaishui, and then returned to the north of the division, Yuan Shu was defeated.
Yuan Shu then ordered someone to pass a letter to Sun Ce, and ordered him to lead his troops north, join forces in one place, and assist in attacking and killing Lü Bu.
The letter came into the hands of Sun Ce, and Sun Ce immediately raised the tent and asked the generals and Zhou Yu.
All the generals thought that they could not be recruited, Zhou Yu said: "The lord has a new territory south of Haixi, his foothold is not stable, it is not suitable to send troops, and Yuan Shu is perverse, and his reputation is already very stinky. It is better to use Zou Tuo, Qian Tong, Wang Sheng, Yan Baihu and other thieves as an excuse to delay the dispatch of troops. ”
When Sun Ce heard this, he suddenly felt that there was great goodness, and what Zhou Yu said was indeed right, Zou Tuo, Qian Tong, Wang Sheng, Yan Baihu and others were more than 10,000 people, guarding according to the dangers of mountains and rivers, and refused to return.
So Sun Ce refused Yuan Shu's dispatch, but instead led his troops to quell the rebellion, and sent someone to write to inform Wu Jing, Sun Ben and others.
Wu Jing immediately returned to Sun Ce. Yuan Shu appointed Sun Ben as the Taishou of Jiujiang, but Sun Ben did not take office and was trapped in Jiangbei, and he abandoned his wife and children and returned to Jiangdong.
Sun Ce's brother Sun Xiang was also appointed by Yuan Shu as the Taishou of Runan, and was unable to return to Jiangdong due to the long distance of the road.
Yuan Shu was furious when he learned the result, but he was helpless, and the two parties did not communicate with each other so far.
At this time, the world is a little settled, but there is a Niu man of the Three Kingdoms who is at a low point in his life.
Zhuge Xuan, the evil man of Lang, died, leaving behind the child of his brother Zhuge Jue, who died early, and his eldest nephew Zhuge Jin, who traveled all over the world and was traveling in Lujiang County. The second nephew, Zhuge Liang, was seventeen years old at this time, and his younger brother Zhuge Jun were in Nanyang.
There are also two nieces, both of whom are married, the eldest is married to Kuai Liang, Kuai Yue's younger brother Kuai Qi, and the second sister is married to Pang Shanmin, the son of Pang Degong.
As soon as Zhuge Xuan died, Zhuge Liang and his younger brother Zhuge had no one to take care of, so his two brothers-in-law naturally wanted to help, and the Pang family and the Kuai family discussed together how to arrange the two brothers.
The two brothers were also stubborn, and under the private arrangement of their two sisters, they only moved to Longzhong near Xiangyang, where they lived in seclusion, farming in the countryside, and making ends meet.
This is the legendary cloth life, but strictly speaking, this cloth is not very clothy.
First of all, his ancestor Zhuge is the Lang evil family, the ancestor Zhuge Feng once served as a lieutenant in the Western Han Dynasty when Emperor Yuan, Zhuge Liang's father Zhuge Liang did Taishan County Cheng in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
Let's take a look at the two sisters of this cloth, one is married to the Wang family, and the entire Jingzhou ranks among the top seven families. The other married to the Pang family, and he was also ranked in the top seven in the entire Jingzhou.
No wonder when Liu Bei visited the thatched cottage three times, this cloth was often not there, saying that it was ploughing, where was the cloth cloth that played around around one day and night.
If it's really cloth clothes, go to someone's house every day to play, drink or something, it's strange if you don't starve to death.
Based on his sister's marriage to Pang Shanmin, Zhuge Liang often played in the Pang family, so he was more familiar with Pang Degong.
Yang Xi actually knew that Pang Shanmin had such a wife and brother for a long time, but he never started, and he still considered Zhuge Liang's family background.
Zhuge Liang was arrogant and chose Liu Bei because Liu Bei was more worthy of arrogance than him after King Jing of Zhongshan.
As for Cao Cao, after the eunuch adopted his son, where he came from, let's not say, because I can't understand how to say it. Besides, Cao Cao didn't come to invite him, as a cloth cloth who often compares himself to Guan Zhong and Le Yi, he will not go to Cao Cao with a shy face.
So Zhuge Liang began to plough in Longzhong, waiting for Allah to come.
At this time, Yang Xi also remembered Zhuge Liang, and it was the appearance of a person that made Yang Xi think of him.
This person is his brother Zhuge Jin.
There is news from Lujiang that Zhuge Jin is a guest in Lu Jun's mansion, and since he has traveled, he naturally wants to make some friends.
By the way, look at where there is a suitable job, these days, it is very easy to find a job, but to find a good job, it is not necessarily everywhere.
Zhuge Jin played here in Lu Jun for half a month, saw the creaking railroad tracks, saw the vibrant farmland and the snow-white cotton fields, and felt that this place was heaven.
Lu Jun also found that Zhuge Jin was talented, so he proposed to hire him as an official in Lujiang, and Zhuge Jin agreed.
Lu Jun's position is not high, he is just the county magistrate of Xunyang County.
But Lu Jun now has only four counties in his hands, as for Xiang'an, Shuxian, etc., they were beaten down by Yang Xi, and he is embarrassed to ask for it.
Besides, these counties are still Yang Xi's concessions, if it weren't for the brotherly relationship, these four counties would have been surnamed Yang.
However, Lu Jun didn't care about any of this, he only felt that it was a good thing that he could recruit more talents and not drag down the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce.
Lu Jun was not in a hurry to let Zhuge Jin go to the post, but first took him around and explained to him the current situation of his Taishou.
Zhuge Jin also roughly understood that although he was nominally on this Lujiang Taishou territory, he was actually doing things for the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce behind the scenes, so he also silently sorted out his future actions.
"Ziyu, this is the No. 1 Primary School in Wancheng, I'll take you in to have a look."
"Good!"
The two walked into the campus, and Zhuge Jin could only hear the sound of reading aloud from the red brick wall of the school building covering an area of 100 acres.
"Lord Lu, this Wancheng No. 1 Primary School is already so big, I'm afraid there are more than 1,000 people, could it be that there are second and third?"
"Ziyu, you don't know this, this Anhui City is small, and it is only one of the more than 500 primary schools established by the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce. Of course, some primary schools are not as large as this, and there are only two or three hundred students. But even if it is two or three hundred people, the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce will also fund the establishment of a school, unequivocally. Lu Jun explained Zhuge Jin's doubts.
Zhuge Jin gasped and said: "The Chenhe Chamber of Commerce is so bold, this investment, except for the imperial court, no one can complete it." ”
"Hehe, to tell you the truth, the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce has a special fund, and every year, it will take out 20% of the entire income as this investment."
What Zhuge Jin heard was not how much money he had invested, but how much money the Chenhe Chamber of Commerce had to make.
