Lu Rui and Cao Chong finished the banquet at Sun Quan's mansion and returned to Ganlu Temple. The Sun family is still in Wu County, and the marriage certificate has been handed over to Sun Quan. But some cumbersome etiquette still needs to be completed, such as wedding days, dowry gifts, etc., which need to be discussed by Lu Rui with Sun Quan and the Sun family.

"Master Hou!"

"Yuan Zhi is here, sit down!" As soon as he returned to Ganlu Temple, Cao Chong asked Lu Fan to take him around to play, and Lu Rui stayed in Ganlu Temple under the pretext of being unwell.

"Master Xie!"

"Yuan Zhi, who are the few people who didn't follow the crowd in the main hall today?" Today, most of the civil and military forces in Jiangdong disdain Lu Rui, Sun Quan has just succeeded to the throne, and Jiangdong has not been rectified yet, and now Jiangdong is scattered.

"Those people are, Zhou Yu, the governor of Eastern Wu, Lu Su, Gu Yong, the captain of Eastern Wu, Lu Meng, Lu Xun, and Zhu Heng."

"Oh?" It was actually those few people, the pillars of Soochow in the future, it was really not simple.

"Master Hou, Gu Yong and Zhu Heng here can be used by us."

"Yuan Zhi elaborates."

"Yes, Lord Hou, Gu Yong and Zhu Huan are one of the representatives of the Jiangdong family, and they are quite dissatisfied with Sun Ce, although Sun Quan let Gu Yong and Zhu Huan participate in political affairs, but they are still not as powerful as the Huaisi ministers in Jiangdong. They complained a lot about it. ”

"What about Lu Xun? He is also a representative of the Koto family. ”

"Master Hou, my subordinates think that Lu Xun may not be interested in us, but will be more interested in Sun Quan."

"Why?" Although Lu Rui has a caravan agent in Jiangdong, most of the things are still presided over by Xu Shu, and the specific situation. Lu Rui didn't know.

"The Lu family was originally a Jiangdong family. But it has been drained by Sun Ce. Now most of the people of the Lu family are in the Yuzhang area, and there are not many people from the Lu family in the Wu County area. Now the Lu family is a weaker Jiangdong family. ”

"Hmm!" Lu Rui nodded, it was obvious that in this part of Jiangdong, there were many families, and everyone wanted to carve up Jiangdong, but the foundation of the Lu family in Wu County had been dug up. Lu Xun wants to revive the Lu family in Yuzhang, and Sun Quan is the best choice.

Sun Ce began by attacking Jiujiang and captured Yuzhang. Raid Kure County, then sweep the Gangdong warlords and unify Gangdong. Yuzhang is one of the foundations of the Sun family, even if the Cao army can raid and take the area of Moling Wu County, I am afraid that the area of Yuzhang will not be able to attack in a short time, because there are too many waters in the Yuzhang generation, and the situation is complicated.

"So what does Yuan Zhi think is the best option for us right now?" Lu Rui took a sip of tea and glanced at Xu Shu.

"Hou Ye already knows it in his heart, why bother asking, Hou Ye only needs to sit in Ganlu Temple. The Jiangdong family will naturally send someone to find the door. ”

"What Yuan Zhi said is reasonable!" Lu Rui knocked on the wooden table with his hand, not bad. As long as you wait here, someone will send you.

The next day, before dawn, the front of Ganlu Temple was full of people from the Jiangdong family who came to visit Lu Rui. Lu Rui is the marquis of the Han Dynasty, and when he came to Jiangdong, he naturally wanted to come to Lala. For a time, Ganlu Temple was crowded.

"Yuan Zhi, bring Gu Yong and Zhu Huan into the room, and the rest of the people will be dealt with by Yuan Zhi on behalf of the Marquis."

"Yes! Hou Ye. ”

Soon, Gu Yong and Zhu Huan came to Lu Rui's room.

"Gu Yong, Zhu Huan has seen Master Hou!" After the two saw Lu Rui, they immediately saluted.

"Yuan sigh, Hugh Mu, please get up!" Lu Rui motioned for the two to get up.

"Master Hou knows the words of the two?" Gu Yong and Zhu Huan got up and looked at Lu Rui in surprise, it seemed that they had not made a mistake this time.

"Yuan sigh, Hugh Mu, Ben Hou has long heard that Jiangdong is more Junjie, Yuan Si and Hugh Mu are the representatives of Jiangdong Junjie, and they all know a lot."

"It's just a nickname, I don't want to enter the eyes of the Hou Ye, compared with the Hou Ye who was five years old, I am really not as good." Gu Yong arched his hand and replied to Lu Rui.

"Yuan Si said and laughed, it's just a little wisdom, why bother, I don't know why Yuan Si and the two came?" Lu Rui took a sip of tea and looked at the two of them with a smile.

"Yong and Huan have heard the name of Hou Ye for a long time, and they did not have a deep friendship in the main hall yesterday, and they came to visit Hou Ye today to express their respect for Hou Ye from my Jiangdong family." After speaking, Gu Yong and Zhu Huan brought up a large box of jewelry.

Lu Rui took a look, corruption, it's really corruption, it's a lot of oil and water to be a messenger, and there is so much income before he gets into the main topic.

"Yuan sigh, why should Hugh Mu be so polite, since it is the friendship of the Jiangdong family, I will accept it." It's a fool to have money or not!

"I hope Hou Ye likes it." Zhu Huan arched his hand and replied to Lu Rui.

"Thank you Yuan Si and Hume."

Then the three of them chatted for a while. Suddenly, Gu Yong's words changed.

"Master Hou, may I ask if Master Hou has ever known Chen Deng and Chen Yuanlong?" Gu Yong suddenly said that he mentioned Chen Deng.

"Oh? Yuan Si also knows Yuan Long? "This is really a superfluous move, a Guangling family, a Jiangdong family, communication is a must!

"Master Hou doesn't know, the two of us also know Yuanlong, when Yuanlong managed the Chen family's caravan in the past, the two of us also helped to take care of the caravan in the clan, so we know Yuanlong."

"I see, since Yuan Si and Hugh Mu know Yuan Long, do they have a letter for this Hou Ye to bring back, this Hou Ye will return to Xu Du from Xuzhou, if there is a letter, this Hou Ye can send it on his behalf!" Lu Rui's eyes rolled and glanced at the two of them.

"Master Hou is polite, we often exchange letters, so there is no need to bother Master Hou." Gu Yong quickly understood the meaning, but avoided Lu Rui with a clever answer.

"I see, it's a lot of things."

"Master Hou is polite, this sentence is really annoying to Yong and Huan. The two of us often have correspondence with Yuanlong, and have always longed for the life of Yuanlong, to be able to govern the hometown and take care of the old father at home, which is the dream of many politicians. Gu Yong smiled and took a sip of tea.

According to the official system of the Han Dynasty, those who are officials generally cannot be officials in their hometowns to prevent their families from becoming bigger, but there are many people who are eager to do this, so that they can consolidate their family's position in their hometown and become a family!

"If Yuan Si and Xiu Mu have this wish, as long as the two of them work hard, they will be able to achieve it."

"If that's the case, it's really a good word from Hou Ye. I don't know if Master Hou can point out a clear way, so that the two of us can have a direction to work on. Gu Yong arched his hand and asked Lu Rui for advice.

"As long as the two of you respect Your Majesty and have merit in reviving the Han Dynasty, you will be able to realize your wishes."

"Thank you Master Hou for your advice!"

"Master Hou, this is a petition from the gentry of Wu County, I hope that the two of us will serve as the chief secretary and captain of Wu County, I wonder if Lord Hou can bring it back to Xudu?" Gu Yong took out a bamboo slip from his sleeve and handed it to Lu Rui.

Here comes the topic, these two people are here to seek officials. Lu Rui took the bamboo slip and said with a smile: "Yuan sigh, since Hugh Mu has the heart to serve his hometown and serve the Han, how can this Hou Ye not help?" This bamboo slip will be brought back to Xu Du and presented to His Majesty! ”

"Yong (Huan) thank you Master Hou!"

Then the three of them chatted about Fengyue a little more, and Gu Yong and Zhu Huan said goodbye.

As soon as he left Lu Rui's courtyard, Zhu Huan came to Gu Yong's side and said, "Yuan Si, can this plan succeed?" ”

"Sun Quan wants to win over our Jiangdong family, but he guards against our Jiangdong family, we can only use external forces to put a little pressure on Sun Quan, and Sun Quan will pay attention to us."

"Yuan sigh, aren't you afraid that Sun Quan will be like Sun Ce?" Zhu Huan made a killing gesture.

"Sun Quan's scheming is much stronger than Sun Ce, he won't be so stupid, we can just pretend to be pitiful when the time comes."

"What Yuan Si said is reasonable, Yuan Si, why don't we serve Lord Sikong? Sikong has insufficient troops, and he governs Jiangdong, not relying on us, who does he rely on? Zhu Heng looked around at no one and complained to Gu Yong in a low voice.

"Hugh Mu, don't be impulsive, if there is no foreign aid, we are by no means Sun's opponent. If Lord Sikong only has empty promises, won't our two families be doomed? ”

"Yuan sighs cautiously, Huan admires!"

In Lu Rui's room, Lu Rui opened the box, which was full of some rare treasures. Lu Rui picked up the list and glanced at it, smiled, and threw the bamboo slip back.

"It's all a bunch of wallgrass that sees the wind and rudders!" Lu Rui was counting his belongings, when suddenly a childish voice came.

Lu Rui was startled, and when he looked back, it turned out to be Cao Chong, when did he return to his room? Evil must have come to let him in!

"Brother Rui, you've made a fortune!"

"Brother Chong also heard the words of Gu Yong and Zhu Huan."

"Yes, Brother Rui. This group of families is really difficult to deal with, one is more slippery than the other. ”

Lu Rui smiled, Gu Yong and Zhu Heng? It is also a good choice for them to govern Jiangdong. (To be continued......)
