Today I saw the simplified version of "A Generation of Military Divisions" published by the People's Publishing House, I feel that the quality is very good, although the book is relatively thin, but the weight is very substantial, now I think about it, although the original editor's requirements are more, there are some modifications that I think are ridiculous, such as the history of Chu in the Southern Dynasty has become the history of Southern Chu, and the state of Shu has become a detail like Tianshu, but it still feels very good, the typesetting and proofreading are very careful, if you want to collect, this edition should be a good choice.

This book can be purchased on the online bookstore www.99read.com! Some readers said no, I see that Taobao also sells it.

――――――――――――

In August of the fourteenth year of Tongtai, the lord of the country was married, and Cai's family was the queen, and the second daughter of Situ Cai Kai, the concubine Ji, was canonized on the same day.

On August 18, the lord of the country was in power, and the royal palace was congratulated, and the grace was given to the inside and outside, and the crime was not mortal death, and it was pardoned.

―― "History of Chu in the Southern Dynasty - The Biography of King Chu Chu"

In July of the fourteenth year of Tongtai, the fire in the south of the Yangtze River, the heat wave is rolling, the river flows eastward, it is noon, even on the river there are few boats, and under a big willow tree by the river, there is a girl in green clothes, although it looks less than the age of cardamom, but it is beautiful and vulgar, and the moving place is like a pearl of fairy dew, and the clothes on her body are the summer shirts that ordinary girls in the south of the Yangtze River love to wear, simple and unpretentious, but only to see her bright eyes and picturesque face, you know that it is not an ordinary small jasper. She sat on the bluestone with her knees crossed, and her eyes were full of doubts as she looked at the young man pacing around the river, completely ignoring the scorching sun above her head. The young man was handsome, thirteen or fourteen years old, and although he was immature in appearance, he already had a heroic bearing, but at the moment he was pacing by the river, looking anxious and urgent. The girl in green finally couldn't bear it anymore and raised her voice: "Second brother, didn't you hire a boat, why haven't you come yet?" ”

The young man said with a bitter face: "I obviously said that I would meet here today, and half of the fare was paid in advance, so why is it so discredited." ”

The girl complained: "It's all you, you must take me to Shouchun to visit my sister-in-law, and don't tell my mother to know, otherwise, we can follow Uncle Yi on the road together, and we won't bask in the sun here." ”

A trace of helplessness flashed in the young man's eyes, but he quickly hid it and said: "But what you said, my mother won't let you go to Shouchun, I was originally going to Zhongli to see my eldest brother, so that I could follow him into battle to kill the enemy, if you didn't force me to follow me, I could swagger on the road, and I didn't have to hire a boat here in private." ”

The girl's pretty face was flushed with anger, she was a gentle and elegant daughter, although she had also fantasized about the vast sky outside, but she didn't have the courage to run away from home, if it weren't for the second brother sneering and secretly instigating, how could she have the courage to go out with him, and even hide it from her mother. Thinking of this, she wanted to scold, but she was gentle by nature, and she was not used to scolding, so she was so angry that she couldn't speak for a while.

At this time, the young man suddenly pointed to the river and said, "Great, the boat is coming." The girl was also overjoyed when she heard this, stood up and looked at the river, only to see a small passenger boat coming from Lingbo, stopping on the shore after a while, and the young man said to the middle-aged boatman standing at the bow of the boat: "Uncle Gu, why did you come?" ”

The middle-aged boatman said: "Mr. Lu, today the junior suddenly had a stomach upset, he couldn't get on the boat, and the villain couldn't drive the boat alone, so he had to temporarily find a nephew to be a helper, so I missed the time, and I ask the son to forgive me." ”

The young man's face softened, and he said, "I see, the third brother is okay, right?" ”

The middle-aged boatman smiled: "It's nothing, I guess I ate something unclean, Childe, please get on the boat." ”

The young man glanced at the stern of the boat, and the young man with the rudder was bronze-skinned, strong and straightforward, and then turned back and said, "Mei'er, get on the boat." ”

The girl in green replied, "Got it." Although she was young, she was very beautiful, and although the middle-aged boatman was well-informed, he couldn't help but praise secretly, and got on the gangplank and let the two siblings get on board. The two young men and girls, no one noticed, the young man with the helm bowed his head slightly, hiding the essence in his eyes.

Get on the boat, a small boat upstream, the sun is like fire, the river breeze also carries the smoked heat, two boatmen drove the boat forward for more than ten miles, then turned into a small river, the river water surface is wide, the wind comes from all sides, the green willows on both sides are like shade, the branches and leaves cover the sky, reflected on the river surface, shrouded in a cool, it is the best place for the passing ships to rest in summer, now there are more than ten large and small passenger ships or cargo ships in Hanoi, among them there is a gorgeous painting boat, black wood painted gold, beautiful and narrow body like the slender body of a girl in the south of the Yangtze River, There are several palace lanterns hanging on the bow of the ship, although they are not lit now, but the four big characters of dragon flying and phoenix dancing on the lamp are still clearly visible. The girl saw it at a glance and whispered, "Like a dream." With a look of envy on his face, he said, "Second brother, it's such a beautiful painting boat, if only I could go up and have a look." ”

When the young man next to him heard it, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he was not like his sister who didn't go out of the gate, and he didn't step out of the second door, he traveled inside and outside Jianye City on weekdays, so he naturally knew about the dream painting boat, and was embarrassed for a moment, and said: "Mei'er, that's not the place you should go." The girl looked at the second brother with a strange look in her eyes, and said, "The second brother didn't lie to me, right?" His face was full of suspicion. The young man wanted to justify that he never lied, but found that he couldn't say it, after all, what he said to his sister in the past, nine out of ten sentences were often false, so he had to say abruptly: "Mei'er, that's the painting boat of Liu Rumeng, the first flower in the south of the Yangtze River." ”

Although the girl was young, she had also heard of Liu Rumeng's reputation, although she didn't know anything about Fengyue, she also vaguely knew the meaning, and she couldn't help but blush, and wanted to avoid entering the cabin. At this time, from the painting boat came a beautiful and poignant sound of the flute, the moving melody flowed into people's hearts like cold water, and the hot summer day seemed to have lost its power, and then from the painting boat came a natural song.

"Shoude Liankai knot escort, about the opening of the Ping leaf on the orchid boat. When I came, Pukou clouds followed the river, and the moon was full of buildings by the river. The flowers are silent, the water is empty, and they are sad for the flowers every year. In case the west wind moves in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yan is not tolerant of autumn. (Note 1)"

The girl listened attentively and said to the young man: "What a beautiful singing voice, such a moving Xiao Yin, second brother, it is rare to have this good opportunity today, let me go and see Miss Liu, okay?" With that, there was a look of anticipation in his eyes.

The young man showed hesitation in his eyes, but when he saw the girl's expression, his heart softened, and he finally sighed: "Okay, Miss Liu's name moves Jiangnan, you just see her, and Daddy won't blame her too much if he knows it." "Let the middle-aged boatman sail towards the boat.

After a while, Xiaozhou approached the painting boat, and a beautiful boat lady on the painting boat looked at Xiaozhou and said crisply: "This little boy, what is the matter with you?" ”

The young man sighed, looked at the pleading look in his sister's eyes, and said, "Please tell Miss Liu that Lu Feng and Lu Mei passed by here, heard the girl's fairy voice, and wanted to see it." As he spoke, he pressed towards the money bag, and he didn't know if there was enough money.

The boat lady chuckled and said, "Little boy, at your age, don't be joking, right?" Besides, my girl is just resting here, and has no intention of meeting guests. ”

The young man's face turned red, he glanced at his sister, and said, "I don't dare to hide it, it's really my sister who listened to Xiao Ge and was fascinated, so she wanted to meet Miss Liu." ”

The boat lady smiled slightly, looked at Lu Mei, her eyes flashed, she walked to the hatch and whispered a few words, and after a while, she turned back and said: "My girl said that since she is a bosom friend, please go on the boat and take a rest." ”

The young Lu Feng's heart was wide, he whispered a few words to the boatman, took Lu Mei to the painting boat, walked out of the cabin with a beautiful maid, picked up the bead curtain, and the two walked in, only to feel a cool air in the cabin.

Lu Feng looked at it, only to see that the cabin was very spacious, the furnishings were elegant and elegant, there was a rattan bed on the inside, a small square table was placed on it, and a silver plate was placed on the table, and the plate was a chilled watermelon, and there was an ice basin in the cabin, no wonder it was cool and infinite. A girl leaned on the table, dressed in plain clothes, without any brocade, green silk like ink, hanging in front of her, although it was a light sweep of her eyebrows, but there was a kind of charm and brightness. And in the cabin, there is also a man in green clothes, standing in front of the window, staring at the bank of the Yanliu River outside the bead curtain, the green shirt reaches the ground, and the bamboo flute hangs from his waist, which has an indifferent and noble demeanor.

Lu Mei didn't bother to look at the furnishings in the cabin, walked to the rattan bed in a few steps, and said happily: "Are you Sister Liu?" You sing so well! ”

Liu Rumeng had no intention of seeing guests, but Song Yu, the pianist of Fangcai, signaled her to see the two of them, so she invited the Lu brothers and sisters to board the boat, but when she saw Lu Mei's unintentional joy and praise, she couldn't help but move in her heart, and said with a light smile: "Rumeng is making a living from these, Miss is a false praise." After that, he stretched out his slender hand, pulled Lu Mei to sit beside him, the autumn waves flowed, and he had looked this girl up and down clearly, only to think that this girl was beautiful and beautiful, although she was young, but she was a natural little beauty, if she grew up to thirteen or fourteen years old, she must be stunning, and what made Liu Rumeng even more tempting was that this girl was innocent and unpretentious, and there was a delicate and elegant temperament that came out of her bones.

The more she looked at it, the more she liked it, Liu Rumeng asked with a smile, "Is your name Lu Mei?" Sure enough, it's a person as his name suggests, I see Youpity, where is this going? ”

Lu Mei glanced at Lu Feng and saw that he shook his head slightly, so she said, "My second brother and I went to see my eldest brother and sister-in-law, and when we passed by here, we heard my sister's singing, so I begged my second brother to take me to see my sister." ”

Liu Rumeng naturally didn't miss the subtle look between the two, but with her scheming, she naturally knew that it was better to pretend not to know, and said, "Do you also like to sing?" ”

Lu Mei nodded and said shyly: "I can't sing well......"

Lu Feng was impatient in his heart, his eyes fell on the man in green clothes, and he took a few steps forward and said: "This must be Mr. Song Yu, Mr. Song has heard the name of Mr. Song for a long time, and I will see you today, how fortunate it is." ”

Hearing this, Yu Lun turned his head and said lightly: "Second Prince Lu is a general, how can he pay attention to such a small person as me?" ”

Lu Feng was shocked in his heart, although he was young, he was very smart, and he knew a lot about Jianye's characters, so he naturally knew the name of this Song Yu, and he also knew that this person was Shang Chengye's confidant and strategist. Just now Lu Mei wanted to get on the boat to see Liu Rumeng, and Lu Feng thought that the person who blew Xiao must be Song Yu, this person is uninhibited, except for occasionally giving advice to Shang Chengye, he is by Liu Rumeng's side almost all the year round.

The change in his expression is also in his eyes, and he said in his heart, it is rumored that most of the Lu family's dark power in Jianye is in the hands of this young man, and now it seems to be true, you must know that Song Yu is Shang Chengye's strategist, which is very secretive, no one knows except for a few people, and this Lu Feng can know, it can be seen that he can go deep into the hidden power of the Lu family in Jianye.

After getting this answer, Yu Lun didn't ask any more questions, turned his head to look out the window, his expression was indifferent, as if he was not interested in the person behind him. Lu Feng was meditating hard in his heart, today Dao Zuo met, could it be that he fell into a trap, and he couldn't help but faintly feel remorse.

After nearly an hour, the sun slanted westward, and the heat wave on the river subsided, and Lu Feng took Lu Mei to leave. When Lu Mei was leaving, her expression was reluctant, this hour, Liu Rumeng taught her a lot of knowledge about music and dance, which made her grateful, and Liu Rumeng was good at words, which made people feel like a spring breeze and couldn't bear to separate. But Lu Feng had already gotten his mind, he was spending his days like years at this hour, and he had the heart to listen to Song Yushen, but this person was cold and unwilling to say more to him, which made him very cold and embarrassed, so he naturally left in a hurry at this moment.

Looking at the figures of the two of them, a trace of sadness flashed in Yulun's eyes, Liu Rumeng walked closer, exhaled like a lan, and said, "Do you recognize these two people?" ”

Yu Lun said lightly: "For many times, don't you know their identity? ”

Liu Rumeng raised her eyebrows lightly and said: "I'm too lazy to ask, not to mention that this little girl is gentle and lovely, and I don't want to use any scheming, anyway, it's just a meeting in Pingshui." ”

Yu Lun said indifferently: "That's Lu Can's second son Lu Feng and his beloved daughter Lu Mei." ”

Liu Rumeng was slightly stunned, and said: "It's rare to be the child of a general, then Lu Mei's identity, even the princess, may not be more noble than her, she doesn't have a trace of arrogance, she really deserves to be the daughter of a famous family, but such a young lady, how could she leave home alone with her brother?" ”

Yu Lun said lightly: "What about the daughter of a famous family, she can't escape the struggle for power and profit, the lord of the country is going to get married in the near future, and after the wedding, she will be in power." This wedding is extremely important, and who is the queen is even more important. ”

Liu Rumeng suddenly realized: "I see, with the status of a general, could it be that this Miss Lu wants to be the queen?" But she doesn't seem to be thirteen years old, is she a little younger? ”

Yu Lun said coldly: "What does it matter about age, if it weren't for the fact that Miss Lu is not yet thirteen years old and has not yet reached the age to be elected, I am afraid that she will be included in the post-election roster now." After this establishment, the court debated endlessly, although Shang Weijun intended to make the clan daughter the queen, but was stopped by Lu Can's letter, after all, the Shang family already has a queen mother, if there is another queen, it will be a bit excessive. ”

Liu Rumeng said thoughtfully: "If the general intends to make Miss Lu the queen, why is Miss Lu wandering outside now?" ”

Yu Lun said indifferently: "The general doesn't mean this, a few days ago, the Queen Mother signaled to Mrs. Lu that she intended to elect Miss Lu as the queen, and now it seems that the Lu family is unwilling, but she probably doesn't want to openly oppose it, so she let Miss Lu leave Jianye." ”

Liu Rumeng's beautiful eyes flowed, and said: "The Queen Mother has such a meaning, but she was secretly rejected by the Lu family, wouldn't the general offend the Queen Mother." ”

Yu Lun sneered: "There is no way, do you know that Shang Xiang is absolutely unwilling to see Lu Mei as the queen, once the Lu family becomes a national relative, I am afraid that Shang Xiang will wake up in a dream, so he stopped Lu Mei on the grounds of her young age, and advocated the canonization of Cai's daughter as the queen, but if the Lu family does not marry the royal family, Shang Xiang will also be uneasy, so he actually put forward the absurd idea of canonizing Lu Mei as a concubine, but the queen mother is not strong-willed, she hopes to marry the Lu family, but she submits to Shang Xiang's wishes, and wants to wronged Lu Mei as a concubine. It is no wonder that the Lu family indulged Lu Mei to flee from Jianye, Lu Can's status in Nanchu is so lofty now, if his daughter enters the palace, if she does not become a queen, won't she have no face. ”

Liu Rumeng thought about it again and again, and sighed: "In this way, no matter what, the Lu monk will have a hatred, it is rumored that in the past, Shang Xiang once intended to match his righteous daughter with Lu Yun, but was rejected by the general, and later intended to make Lu Yun Shang Shuning Princess, but was politely rejected by the general on the grounds that General Lu Shao was engaged, and now Miss Lu has escaped the election, I am afraid that the queen mother and the lord of the country will think that the general despises the court, and this matter is endless after all." ”

When he heard this, the sadness in his eyes became thicker and thicker, and he said: "Now that rotting rats have become a taste, suspicion Kunpeng is endless, how can the general be a person who is greedy for power, and he has no heart to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix, but a person like Shang Xiang will not believe in the general's will." ”

Liu Rumeng also sighed softly, and said after a long time: "You might as well try to ask Lord Shang to explain to Shang Xiang, now that the general is in charge of the army, facing the millions of iron horses of Dayong, if something happens to the court, I am afraid that the building will fall." ”

He let out a long sigh and was speechless, remembering the instructions he had received yesterday. The familiar handwriting on it shook my heart.

"Zhao Long is about to be in power, the big wedding is imminent, the Lu family is alone in Jiangnan, the Shang family will want Lu Can's daughter to be the concubine, the can is noble, and he will not sell his daughter for glory, and there must be a gap in the meantime, but the Shang family can be persuaded that if Can is the ruler of the country, he must have the heart of rebellion, so as to break off the marriage."

He said silently many times in his heart, and said with a wry smile: "Sir, in your mind, if you become your enemy, will you not have any mercy?" That Lu Can was originally your protégé, but now you want to put him to death, but why are you so indulgent to me? ”

Thinking of the three instructions he has received in the past three years, Yu Lun's heart is only cold and piercing.

In the twelfth year of Tongtai, Xiangyang was lost, and the news reached Jianye, Shang Weijun was terrified, and wanted to send Xiangyang guard Rong Yuan to prison for questioning, but the person sent the first instruction to let him offer advice, and took the opportunity to spread rumors, saying that Lu Can intended to make the court ask the Xiangyang soldiers to blame, but let Shang Weijun come forward to subdue Rong Yuan, which not only made Rong Yuan more resentful of Lu Can, but also allowed Shang Weijun to have the support of the military, and also let himself get the trust of Shang.

Tongtai thirteen years Ba County lost, Yu Burma stuck to the Sword Pavilion, the Chengdu defenders also fought to the death, the two armies were cemented, Dayong proposed peace, if Southern Chu gave up the Sword Pavilion, Chengdu, the Chu army that had been trapped was returned to Southern Chu, and was willing to return Ba County to Southern Chu, Lu Can decided not to allow it, to send the water army into Shu to rescue, he got the second order, through Shang Chengye persuaded Shang, once the water army entered Shu, the Yangtze River defense line must be empty, if it is a long battle, once the Dinghai Yongjun takes the opportunity to make trouble, I am afraid that it will endanger Jianye, and fight hard with its troops, It is better to hold Ba County, lest the Yongjun army go down the river. After the peace negotiation was successful, he took the opportunity to persuade Shang Weijun to offend Yu Mian according to the instructions, Lu Can was furious, and Shang Weijun fought face to face, and finally ordered Yu Mian to continue to guard Ba County, but it increased Shang Weijun's suspicion of the Lu family even more.

Now coupled with this third directive, Yu Lun knows that Shang Weijun's suspicion of the Lu family is about to reach its peak, and with Zhao Long's pro-government, Jiang Zhe, who has not moved for three years, is only afraid that he is about to launch a counteroffensive.
