Chapter 523: The unwilling Zu Yue and Su Jun
The reason why Wei Shuo deigned to receive Antony was that in addition to the fact that Anthony did bring the books needed to Liaodong, he also wanted to guide more Romans to bring more books to China by honoring Antony. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Among the books that Antony brought with him, they were all works by famous scholars of ancient Rome and ancient Greece, such as Ptolemy, Lucretius, Celsus and other famous scholars.
Countless academic works related to astronomy and geography, farmland water conservancy, chemical physics, etc., have gathered in Liaodong, and have been translated, studied, digested, and absorbed by many scholars in Liaodong, and finally turned into Huaxia's own scientific and technological achievements.
At the end of the meeting, Wei Shuo also presented Anthony with a medal for 'Special Contribution'.
Looking at Anthony's careful collection of medals, Wei Shuo almost couldn't help laughing, that is, the ancients had a weak sense of intellectual property rights, and in other words, modern Anthony would definitely be branded as a traitor by his own country.
When Antony returned to his residence with the medal in a majestic manner, it immediately aroused the envy and jealousy of other Roman companions, and they all lamented that Antony had taken the **** luck, and only relied on a few boxes of broken books to be courteous to Liaodong.
When he first came ashore, he was personally received by the head of the city, and was allowed to buy goods at a preferential price in Liaodong, and now he is recognized by the famous governor.
Although everyone does not know what the special meaning of the 'Special Contribution' medal is, it at least shows that the books brought by Anthony are very popular among the people of Liaodong. At the same time, more and more Romans were moved, thinking that if they had the opportunity to come to Liaodong in the future, they would have to loot and bring some books.
Later, with the fall of Rome, most of the books were destroyed in the war, and Westerners who wanted to study Roman culture had to go to the East to find all kinds of ancient books.
……
Since Zu Yue lost Yuzhou and Zu Ti died in Pengcheng, the ancestral family has slipped from the peak, and a large number of ancestral children have nothing to do all day long with a meager salary.
In addition to a few people who have accepted their fate, there is another person who is unwilling to spend his life in mediocrity.
This person is Yuzhou Assassin Shi Zu Yue, originally the Son of Heaven was to depose Zu Yue as the assassin of the history, but later Zu Xiao died in Pengcheng, in order not to let the outside world accuse the court of treating the family of meritorious heroes, can only continue to let Zu Yue hang the title of Assassin History.
But even so, Zu Yue did not have half of the real power in his hands, and only some loyal township party members followed him.
Zu Yue sat in the atrium, looking up at the wild geese in the sky slowly returning north, and his mood was difficult to calm down.
It has been nearly ten years since Yongjia went south with his brother Zu Ti.
To this day, Zu Yue still clearly remembers how high-spirited he was when he was in charge of Yuzhou, but he didn't expect that only a few years later, not only was the territory of Yuzhou lost, but the clan brothers around him were fighting less and less, and finally even the most respected brother was killed in Pengcheng.
Thinking of this, Zu Yue couldn't help but feel a burst of sadness from the bottom of his heart, and he and his brother brought out more than a thousand township party children from Fan Yang's hometown. After all these years of vicious battles with Hulu, there are only a dozen old brothers left.
When Shi Le attacked Yuzhou, the entire Yuzhou army was scattered, if it weren't for hundreds of soldiers desperately saving each other, I am afraid that Zu Yue would have confessed on the battlefield of Yuzhou at that time.
Thinking of the scene in Yuzhou, Zu Yun couldn't help but have a sour eye again, and tears rolled down, the battle in Yuzhou was really miserable!
Tens of thousands of Yuzhou soldiers were vulnerable in front of Hu Cai, and the entire battlefield situation was one-sided, and the Yuzhou soldiers were completely the targets of slaughter.
It can be said that the First Battle of Yuzhou completely changed his situation, from the general of the feudal town who everyone envied and jealous before, to the general of the defeated army who everyone spurned and disdained.
But at that time, Zu Yue did not completely lose hope, because he knew that as long as his brother Zu Li was here, the ancestral family would not fall.
However, Zu Yue did not rejoice for long, in the second year of Taixing, Zu Xiao unfortunately died in Pengcheng, and he suddenly felt that the sky had fallen.
Although sometimes Zu Yue was very dissatisfied with his brother Zu Li's foolish loyalty to the Jin family, he had to admit that Zu Li was the pillar of the ancestral family.
With the ancestors here, no matter how dangerous the situation is, the ancestors have hope of recovery. But now that the ancestor is dead, the court is full of enemies of the ancestral family, regardless of the illustrious exploits of his brother who died for the country, they have fallen into the well, trying to trample the ancestral family under their feet forever.
"Humph! As long as I'm alive, none of you want to step on the throne of your ancestors, sooner or later I will return it with interest. ”
Zu Yue is not willing to sink here, whether it is for the sake of the glory of the ancestral family or for his own future, he must rise again as soon as possible.
But in the ancestral covenant that has no roots in Jiangdong, it is not easy to rise again, but it is not completely without opportunities.
At present, Jiangdong is not shocked on the surface, but in fact, it is already turbulent inside.
On one side, Wang Dun is ready to move, and on the other side, the Sima royal family, who are eager to get rid of Wang's control, the two sides are tense, and conflict may break out at any time.
However, this civil unrest is the best chance for Zuyo, but he needs to consider which side to bet on in order to reap the greatest benefits.
Just when Zu Yue was hesitating, Su Jun actually appeared in Zu Yue's mansion at night.
"Dare to ask why Su Neishi came here today?"
Regarding Su Jun's visit, Zu Yue was very curious. The relationship between the Zu brothers and Su Jun has always been not harmonious, and Su Jun is also one of the culprits who indirectly killed Zu Jun. If it weren't for Zu Yue, who didn't want to make any more trouble, he would have ordered someone to knock him out of the mansion.
Su Jun didn't care about Zu Yue's coldness, and only said to himself: "Ancestral Assassin Shi, you should know very well that Zai Xia is not the real culprit who killed your brother!" At the beginning, it was not Su Jun who did not save him when he saw death, but Dai Yuan and Wang Shu were immovable, and they were also powerless. ”
After listening to Su Jun's explanation, although Zu Yue couldn't completely forgive the other party, his face was a little loose. And he knew very well that it was the Jiangzuo court that really put his brother to death, and Su Jun was just an insignificant accomplice at best.
Seeing that Zu Yue no longer spoke ill of each other, Su Jun smiled and said, "I want to talk to Zu Tingshi alone about something, I don't know?" ”
"Come with me to the study." Zu Yue hesitated slightly, and invited Su Jun to the secret room of the study.
Su Jun took a sip of tea and said lightly: "Don't hide it from Lord Assassin Shi, Su took the liberty to visit today, there is a very important matter that needs to be discussed with Lord Assassin Shi." ”
"Something to discuss? I don't know what Brother Su means by this? ”
"Ancestral Thorn History, it's not nice to say, generals like you and me who were born as homeless commanders are all thorns in the eyes and flesh of the court, and sooner or later they will have to be eliminated by the court. A man as heroic as his grandfather can't escape the calculations of the imperial court, let alone you and me? ”
"In the past, you and I still had territory and people, and we had some confidence to confront the court, but now you and I have lost all our territory, although we still have some soldiers and horses in our hands, but in the eyes of the court, we are just lambs to be slaughtered. The reason why the imperial court did not attack you and me was not because the princes of the court were soft-hearted, but because the general was watching from the sidelines. ”
"Although the Son of Heaven doesn't trust us and other exile generals, he is not stupid. Speaking of leading troops to fight, it is not Su who boasts of Haikou, in the one-third of an acre of land in Jiangdong, who else can stop the general's soldiers in the future besides you and me? ”
Su Jun came to his intentions one by one, and when he heard the ripples in Zu Yue's eyes, his originally depressed heart was suddenly full of fighting spirit. Indeed, as Su Jun said, only the two of them in the entire Jiangdong have the ability to contend with the great general Wang Dun, as for Tao Kan, Sima Cheng, Gan Zhuo, Zhou Zha and other generals, they are not taken seriously by him at all.
"Right now, the general is about to move, and the Son of Heaven himself is difficult to protect, and it is the time for you and me to show their talents. The main reason why Su came here today was to form an alliance with the ancestral assassin history, to share weal and woe in the future civil strife, advance and retreat together, and seek the greatest interests for the ancestral family and the Su family. ”
Su Jun's suggestion made Zu Yue's heart flutter, and he thought about it carefully and found that there were many benefits to forming an alliance with Su Jun. First of all, the Zusu family is in a similar situation and shares the same disease, and an alliance with each other will give each other a reliable ally; Secondly, the Zusu alliance will give the future face of the great general Wang Dun, one more hope of victory.
Since then, the Zu and Su families have really become closely connected, because it is just a confluence of two frustrated families, so it has not aroused suspicion from the outside world. On the contrary, it didn't take long for Su Jun to expect, as Su Jun expected, Sima Rui, the son of heaven, had to reuse Su Jun and Zu Yue again in order to fight against Wang Dun, who was becoming more and more domineering.
