Chapter 53: Assassination Again? Guangling!
Lu Su took the bamboo slip in Sun Quan's hand, and was stunned, Lu Xun actually lost to Shanyue!
"Zijing, what the hell is going on!" Sun Quan covered his heart and questioned Lu Su.
"Lord, this subordinate can't figure it out, it seems that someone is plotting to deal with me Jiangdong!" Lu Su read Lu Xun's battle report, and there was actually a master behind his back, and he panicked for a while, and he couldn't figure it out.
"Who does Zijing think is plotting my Jiangdong?"
"I can't guess it for a while, Cao Cao? It is unlikely, although Yuan Shao was defeated, his strength still exists, and Cao Cao should not choose to raid my Jiangdong. Liu Biao? Liu Biaoxin set Jingnan, and it is possible to send troops to deal with our Jiangdong. Yuan Shao may also be angry because the ancestor did not raid Xudu and deal with my Jiangdong. β
"What Zijing said is reasonable, how does Zijing think we should deal with the current predicament?"
"Lord, the main force of our army is still deployed along the river, and now our army and the Cao army have been married, the Cao army wants to attack Yuan Shao in the north, and we can't afford to look south, we can concentrate our forces to level the mountains first, and then go west to Jingzhou, so as to solve the dilemma." Lu Su was a very far-sighted strategist and quickly gave Sun Quan advice.
"Well, what Zijing said is very true, so according to Zijing's words, I ordered Gongjin to lead the main force of our army to the south and pacify Shanyue."
"My lord, Zi Jing has a plan to offer to my lord."
"Son, please speak."
"My lord, we can divide our troops and let the Metropolitan Governor lead 10,000 soldiers to Poyang Lake to refine the water division and build our Jiangdong Water Army. The lord can personally lead an army of 20,000 and go south to conquer Shanyue. Lu Su offered Sun Quan a strategy of killing two birds with one stone, which could not only allow Sun Quan to establish military prestige, but also divide Zhou Yu's military power. Maintain the stability of Jiangdong's military power.
"Zijing is really high-minded. Just according to Zijing's words. β
"My lord. Lord Lu asked to see him. "When Sun Quan and Lu Su were discussing military politics, Lu Fan arrived.
"Let Master Lu in."
"No!"
"Ziheng, you go to Ganlu Temple, can you get something?"
"Please forgive the lord, Lu Rui did not agree to marry the county lord and the Cao family, and even refused, and he didn't even have the opportunity to write to Cao Cao."
"Oh? Zijing, what do you think? β
"My lord. Lu Rui has followed Cao Cao since he was a child, he has been talented and intelligent since he was a child, and he is also a handsome man, Lu Rui is also considerate, the lord, if the world is really three points in the future, I am afraid that the county lord should not go to Xu Du as well. β
"What Zi Jing said is reasonable, since Cao Cao doesn't want to give up his sister, then we are not reluctant, Ziheng. Prepare more rare treasures and send them to Lu Rui, and wait for Cao Chong's condition to stabilize. Send someone to escort them back to Jiangbei. β
"Fan understands, lord!" Sun Quan was worried about internal and external troubles, and he didn't have time to pay attention to Lu Rui at all.
Ganlu Temple was built on a mountain, and at night, the weather was relatively cold, Lu Rui got up and went to Cao Chong's room to see Cao Chong.
"Master Hou!"
"Evil has come hard." For Cao Chong's safety, Lu Rui sent Dian Wei to bring people to protect Cao Chong, and the assassin's intentions and identity Lu Rui still understood that Cao Chong could not have any more accidents, otherwise, Lu Rui would not be able to explain to Lao Cao at all.
"It's not hard." Dian Wei smiled.
"Master Hou wants to see Master Chong? Don't worry, with Wei here, you won't let your son catch a cold. β
Lu Rui nodded, and saw that Dian Wei was also a person with a rough appearance and a delicate heart.
"There are assassins!" While Lu Rui and Dian Wei were chatting outside the door, the guards spotted the assassin.
"What!" There are still people who come to assassinate Cao Chong?
Lu Rui took an arrow step, broke into the room, and then personally took the guards to protect Cao Chong.
The assassination did not seem to go well, and the Assassins were quickly captured and killed, and none of them survived. All of them were poisoned, and they could only be identified as Shanyue's people from some faces.
Lu Rui didn't dare to be careless, and continued to take the guards to protect Cao Chong so that the accident would not happen again.
There was an assassination at Ganlu Temple, and there was also an assassination at Sun Quan's general's mansion, but the result was the same, and it was unsuccessful. Sun Quan summoned the ministers to the general's palace overnight.
"Ziming, what's going on?" Sun Quan slapped the table and glared angrily. Originally, he was poisoned, and his defense has been strengthened, how can there be assassins? Although it didn't work, Sun Quan's heart was now irritable, and he couldn't think calmly at all.
"Lord, this time the assassin is also from Shanyue, maybe the news of the lord's poisoning has reached Shanyue, and they want to test it?" Lu Meng asked Sun Quan tentatively, and the current Sun Quan made Lu Meng feel a little scared.
"Tempting me to see if I'm alive?" Sun Quan glared at Lu Meng, and Lu Meng retreated in embarrassment.
"Report, lord, there are assassins infiltrating Ganlu Temple, and they are all captured!"
"What!"
"Are Cao Chong's sons and little marquis in danger?" Lu Su immediately realized the seriousness and hurriedly asked the soldier.
"Please rest assured, the Hou Ye and Chong Gongzi are fine, and the assassin was captured and killed before he even arrived at the room."
"Zijing, what do you think?"
"Lord, I'm afraid Shanyue wants to create a contradiction between our army and Cao's army, if Cao Chong dies in Jiangdong, my Jiangdong has an unshirkable responsibility, it seems that the masters in Shanyue are not simple!"
Lu Su judged that it was the master of Shanyue who was impulsive against Cao Chong and wanted to deal with Cao Chong, so as to worsen the relationship between Cao Cao and Sun Quan.
"What Zijing said is very true, it seems that the master behind it is either Liu Biao or Yuan Shao." Sun Quan launched the forces behind it according to Lu Su's ideas.
"Lord, the situation is critical now, and I also ask the lord to quickly implement the strategy of Pingshan Yue and practicing the water master. In order to strengthen our Jiangdong forces. The occurrence of this series of events made Lu Su realize the shortcomings of Jiangdong, there is no absolute strength, it is difficult to gain a foothold in Jiangdong just by relying on the balance between the family and the Sun family, and now only by enhancing Sun Quan's strength can he gain a foothold in Jiangdong!
"According to Zijing's plan, General Ben will send troops to Shanyue as soon as possible."
"Ziheng, Lu Rui and Cao Chong will be handed over to you, after Cao Chong can return to Xudu, let Sun and Lu Rui return to Xudu together." Sun Quan didn't dare to leave Cao Chong in Jiangdong, and if something happened again, Sun Quan didn't dare to think about what the consequences would be.
"Yes, my subordinates understand."
Early the next morning, LΓΌ Fan came to Ganlu Temple to visit Cao Chong, and at the same time expressed Sun Quan's apologies to LΓΌ Rui. From the words, Lu Rui understood that Sun Quan was unwilling to let Cao Chong, a hot potato, stay in Jiangdong and let Lu Rui return to Xudu as soon as possible.
On the seventh day, Cao Chong was still pale, but he was able to eat rice soup. Lu Rui seized the time and took Sun on the road.
Lu Rui boarded the ship in Moling, and arrived in Guangling in less than a day, and Chen Deng was already waiting for Lu Rui with Guangling Wenwu.
"Let Brother Yuanlong greet him personally, Rui is really flattered." Lu Rui arched his hand and saluted Chen Deng.
"Brother Extraordinary is polite, Brother Extraordinary has returned from Jiangdong, what's wrong with Deng personally greeting him?"
Soon Lu Rui and his party entered Guangling City.
On the Guangling Taishou Mansion, Lu Rui had just followed Chen Deng into the Taishou Mansion, and he saw Xu Chu in the main hall.
"Zhongkang!" Xu Chu is here, and Cao Cao must be here too.
"Hahahaha! The extraordinary is finally back. "Listen to this voice, Lao Cao is really here.
"See the lord!" Lu Rui immediately saluted Cao Cao.
"Extraordinary, no need to be polite, get up."
Lu Rui still refused to get up and knelt on the ground, no, he couldn't protect Cao Chong, so he had to make a statement!
"Middle father, it is not good for the child to protect his brother, please punish the middle father."
"Chong'er's matter, my father already knows."
"This matter can't be blamed for being extraordinary, it's also the middle father's inconsiderate consideration."
"This?"
"Extraordinary, do you think Shanyue's assassin can really stab Sun Quan?" Guo Jia looked at Lu Rui with a wicked smile on the side.
Lu Rui understood at this time that after Sun Quan retreated to the backyard, those assassins were sent by Cao Cao, so they borrowed a knife to kill people! High, really high!
"Extraordinary, Sun Quan is already preparing to mobilize troops and horses to attack Shanyue, and it will be easy to capture Jiangdong at that time."
"The middle father is wise!"
"Extraordinary? What is the extent of Chong'er's injuries? The crusade against Jiangdong was decided, and Cao Cao began to care about his son.
"Please rest assured that although Brother Chong was poisoned by Shanyue, it was just lightly crossed, and the poisoning was not deep, and he will be able to recover if he is sent back to Xu Du for diagnosis and treatment by Hua Tuo!" For Hua Tuo's medical skills, Lu Rui is still very confident.
"Well, then it is reassuring to be a father. Extraordinary, you and Fengxiao discussed the matter of sending troops to Jiangdong, and I went to see Chong'er. Cao Cao shook off his long sleeves and left the main hall.
Lu Rui and Guo Jia glanced at each other, where is Cao Cao a generation of heroes at this time, just a loving father. (To be continued......)
