Chapter 169: Returning to the Wind
After hearing Gu's question, Lu Xun looked at Zhu Zhi, who was also looking at him in confusion, and said with a smile: "Actually, this matter is not difficult to say, Guangling Taishou Chen Deng is the cousin of my lord, and our fleet has passed through the defense area of the Guangling Naval Army, and he always gives this face." ”
"What? No wonder, it turns out that all of them are under the control of General Zhennan, but I still think that Wu County is impregnable, now that I think about it, my calculation is really ridiculous, for General Zhennan, I can only use a word to evaluate it now, and I admire the five bodies to the ground. Zhu Zhi listened to Lu Xun's words and said self-deprecatingly.
And seeing Zhu Zhi's expression, and at the same time agreeing with the reason given by Lu Xun, Gu finally believed that Lu Xun was not sent by Sun Quan to test him, so he knelt down to Lu Xun and said with tears: "The first husband died unjustly, and asked the general and General Zhennan to be the concubine as the master, as long as the first husband can be vindicated, the concubine is willing to be a cow and a horse to repay the general's great kindness." ”
Seeing this, Lu Xun hurriedly said, "Why should Madam be polite? In fact, although General Zhennan and General Anton Sun Bofu are enemies of each other, but they also sympathize with General Anton, and they admire General Anton's heroism very much, and call him the little overlord of Jiangdong. Later, Liu Cong, the younger brother of General Zhennan, killed his father and became independent, and General Zhennan led the army to quell the chaos, so he always thought about General Anton, and never forgot to rehabilitate General Anton. ”
Sighing slightly, Lu Xun said again: "Actually, to tell the truth, this general also has a grudge against General Anton, when he was confused by Yuan Shu, he led the army to attack Lujiang and killed me Congzu Kang, which caused my Lu clan to suffer an extremely heavy blow, but please rest assured that the deceased is gone, since Sun Bofu has passed away, I, Lu Xun, will never use this to bully your orphans and widows again, and will never damage Sun Bofu's reputation because of this." Although Ben Jiang was eager to avenge my ancestor before, I would never use despicable means such as assassination, and from this point of view, Ben Jiang was still much stronger than that Sun Quan. ”
When Gu heard this, he immediately apologized again: "It turns out that the ancestor of the ancestor of the general was injured by the concubine, and the concubine really doesn't know this, and now the concubine is forgetting selfishness when she sees the general, and the general Zhennan has the justice of the world in his heart. ”
After Gu thanked Lu Xun, he begged Lu Xun to wait for a while, and then he walked into the inner room, took out a brocade silk, unfolded it and said: "General, please see, the concubine has tangible evidence of Sun Quan's murder of her late husband, although the concubine was humiliated before, she never dared to take this thing out, first, for fear that Wormz would die because of this, and second, for fear of affecting the overall stability of Jiangdong." This was discovered by the concubine during the search for her late husband's relics, and was a rent-free order written by Sun Quan to the Assassin's family. According to the concubine's guess, the deceased husband should have known that the mastermind was Sun Quan after the assassination, but the experient husband did not say this, but tried his best to override public opinion and let Sun Quan inherit the throne. ”
Lu Xun took the brocade silk and looked at it, and asked Zhu Zhi to identify the authenticity, and the result was just as he thought, this thing was really real.
Seeing this, Zhu Zhi's heart was even more suspicious, and he finally fully believed that the so-called Sun Quan's killing of his brother was true!
Such a fact really gave him too much blow, he didn't dare to imagine that he was loyal to such a beast who did not care about human kindness and had a human face and a beast's heart, and this person could even kill his own brother, let alone a courtier like himself? Although he has now won the honor of supporting Sun Quan, he has shown extraordinary respect and honor to himself, but can he guarantee that he will not deal with himself in the future? Even if this person really can't touch himself, will he deal with his descendants in the future? I'm nearly fifty years old now, how many years can I live? It is unimaginable that once you die in the future, your children and grandchildren will suffer misfortune because of it.
But what Lu Xun thought was on the other hand, Sun Jian ignored the righteousness of the world and hid the jade seal privately, but he was killed, and even the jade seal fell into the hands of Yuan Shu, which made Yuan Shu's ambition swell, and there was a farce of the emperor, and Sun Jian's eldest son Sun Ce was also a hero, but he was unprepared, and was taken by Sun Quan, although there were 100,000 tigers and wolves, but in the end it was useless, and a generation of heroes died at the hands of Xiaoxiao. Although Sun Quan is a male lord who is good at discovering talents and is good at winning people's hearts, he is ruthless, disregards human morality, and is easy to be suspicious of the group, and in the end he can only go on the road to defeat.
On the other hand, the lord Liu Qi is completely different, he has the advantages of the father and son, but he does not have their obvious defects, the most important thing is that he can be good at listening to the correct opinions of his subordinates, plus the ability to know people and use people is better than Sun Quan, so he has a lot of talents, and the soldiers use their lives, so they can conquer everything and be invincible, so as to further develop on the basis of his father and earn a huge foundation.
It can be said that it is a great honor to be able to meet such a rare master in a hundred years.
Zhu Zhi's mind was different, he put himself in Sun Ce's shoes, and was speculating about why Sun Ce knew that the mastermind of his assassination was Sun Quan, and he still advocated passing the throne to Sun Quan.
In his opinion, the reason why Sun Ce did this was to protect his wife, children and other brothers, because according to Sun Quan's ruthless character, once Sun Ce passed on the throne to others, he was afraid that he would soon be victimized by him; The second is also because Sun Quan is indeed the most capable person to keep the foundation of Jiangdong among Sun Ce's three brothers, so for the sake of his own foundation, Sun Ce can only pretend not to know about Sun Quan's assassination of himself, and pass on the foundation that has been worked hard by father and son for two generations to the guy with a human face and a beast's heart.
"Alas, no matter what, Bo Fu chose to let go of the resentment in his heart for the sake of his family and foundation, and chose to make Sun Ce the lord of Jiangdong, today I also have to choose to support Sun Shao and crusade against Sun Quan for the sake of our two major families and the situation in Jiangdong, even if there are more people scolding me, I don't care."
After Zhu Zhi figured out this section, the burden in his heart was finally put down, he looked at Sun Shao, who was standing beside the Gu family obediently, and thought silently: "No matter what others say, I have done my best to keep the Sun family in Jiangdong, and at the same time re-stabilize the situation in Jiangdong, as long as I do it with a clear conscience, as for the merits and demerits, then leave it to future generations to comment." ”
Because the Gu family came up with tangible evidence, Lu Xun became more clear about Sun Quan's crime in his heart, and he made Sun Quan's murder of his brother and the evidence public, and at the same time asked Zhu Zhi to announce on behalf of Sun Shao that from now on, Sun Shao will act as the patriarch of the Jiangdong Sun clan, and in the name of the patriarch, declare that Sun Quan is no longer the descendant of the Jiangdong Sun family, and has no right to inherit the inheritance left by his father Sun Ce.
At the same time, Sun Shao also called on the children of the Sun clan in Jiangdong to obey the orders of the patriarch and jointly denounce Sun Quan who killed his brother and destroyed the Tao, and at the same time, as the legitimate heir of Sun Ce, the former lord of Jiangdong, he called on the heroes of Jiangdong to jointly crusade against Sun Quan and clear the injustice of the late lord Sun Ce.
At the end of the statement, Sun Shao announced that the three counties of Wu, Huiji, and Danyang were all under the direct jurisdiction of Yangzhou Assassin Shi, obeyed the orders of the imperial court, and all the descendants of the Sun clan in Jiangdong must obey and never resist.
After Sun Shao's statement was publicly released, Zhu Zhi ordered all the 7,000 troops stationed in Fuchun, Wucheng, and Yangxian to surrender to Lu Xun's army.
Because the army generals stationed in these three counties are all Zhu Zhi's cronies, such as Zhu Huan, one of the four surnames in Wuzhong and a distant branch of himself, Zhu Zhi's second son and eldest son Zhu Cai, and Xu Jiao, a trusted general and Xu Jiao who was born in the Xu family in Fuchun, these three generals were originally treated well by Zhu Zhi, so they were all grateful to Zhu Zhi, and today they saw that Zhu Zhi gave the order to surrender, plus they all chose to believe that what Sun Shao's mother and son said and Zhu Zhi said was the truth, so they immediately did not hesitate to surrender to Lu Xun.
And under their drive and influence, from the fist, Louxian, Wuxi, Biling, Dantu, Haiyan and other counties have also surrendered, now the entire Wu County, only Qu A and Qiantang have not yet surrendered, and Qu A Changhong is Sun Quan's brother-in-law, once recommended Zhuge Jin to Sun Quan, and Sun Quan's relationship is very close, so he supports Sun Quan and opposes Sun Shao.
Later, Lu Xun saw that Hongzhi resolutely refused to surrender, but instead commanded the troops to defend Qu'a, so he ordered Chen Wu to lead an army of 5,000 people, relying on the elite soldiers and strong generals to directly break through Qu'a, and Hongzi committed suicide after the defeat.
After Hongzi's suicide, Hongzi's wife, Sun Shangwen, Sun Quan's sister, also committed suicide.
After that, the entire Wu County of Lu except for Qiantang had been completely under Liu Qi's rule.
When the news reached Shanyin, Sun Quan couldn't help but be furious, denouncing Sun Shao and Zhu Zhi for the shameful crime of shameless defection to the enemy, and also issued a statement, saying that he had not murdered his brother at all, which was just evidence forged by Liu Qi in order to plot the foundation of Jiangdong, and asked everyone not to believe the rumors and stick to the territory.
In his heart, Sun Quan had already hated Zhu Zhi and Sun Shao's mother and son, and regretted very much that he was soft-hearted at that time and did not get rid of their mother and son, which resulted in today's hidden dangers, otherwise, he would never be as passive as today.
"Hmph, what Lu Xun is attacking the city, if my expectations are good, this qiē should be just a conspiracy set up by the old thief of Zhu Zhi, this old thief must be to control my Jiangdong through Guò to welcome Sun Shao, such a chaotic minister and thief, how can he not eradicate it? I sent an order to the third brother of Moling, Uncle Bi, and asked him to immediately raise troops to recruit the old thief of Zhu Zhi, if I catch this thief this time, I will definitely crush him to ashes, so as to eliminate the hatred in my heart. ”
The muscles on Sun Quan's face were shaking, his teeth were clenching, and his clenched fists had already been plucked out of blood by his fingernails, and he really hated to strangle Zhu Zhi and Sun Shao's mother and son to death one by one. 、
But at this moment, I suddenly heard a small soldier break in and report: "Lord, something is wrong, something happened to the third son of Moling." ”
"What?" Sun Quan couldn't help but be shocked, snatched the letter from the little soldier's hand, looked at it, his face suddenly changed greatly, his eyes turned black, and he fainted on the ground......
