Chapter 60: Koto Divided in Two
Lu Rui led the guards back to Moling, and heard about the incident of Lao Cao's wife, and it was really an accident if he didn't pay attention to it!
"Master Hou, Lord Sikong asked you to go to his room." The subordinate helped Lu Rui lead the horses, and told Lu Rui that Cao Cao was looking for him.
"Got it." Lu Rui didn't stop, and came directly to Cao Cao's room, Cao Cao was drinking in the front yard, and Guo Jia was accompanying him.
"The child has seen the middle father!" Seeing that only Guo Jia was there, and in Cao Cao's courtyard, Lu Rui called him privately.
"Extraordinary is here, sit down."
"Yes, Father!"
"Fengxiao, you and Bufan tell me about what happened some time ago."
"Yes, my lord."
Then Guo Jia told Lu Rui what happened, and there were two key points, one was that someone deliberately let Cao Cao find out the big and small Qiao, and the other was that Cao Cao was actually drugged, and he was given an aphrodisiac.
"Oh?" Lu Rui listened to Guo Jia's description, and basically knew that Cao Cao had always been cautious, and Cao Cao would be tested by Cao Cao's guards with silver needles if he poisoned Cao Cao, but he would not put aphrodisiacs, and then contact the plot of some stories, and a clear context would be clear, this is Sun Quan's strategy!
"Father Zhong, it seems that this is Sun Quan's plan!"
"Yes, extraordinary, my lord and I also think so, but Sun Quan is less than twenty years old to have such scheming and ruthlessness, it's really not simple, I underestimate the heroes of the world."
"Hmm." Lu Rui nodded, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu are the pillars of Jiangdong, and their wives are even more loved by Sun Ce and Zhou Yu's subordinates, supported by their families, and Cao Cao has engaged in big and small Qiao. This will not only push Zhou Yu to the side of hostility. And will let Sun Quan use this as an excuse. Take back the military power in the army, kill two birds with one stone!
"Sun Quan does have the posture of a hero, and even his sister-in-law and the important ministers of Eastern Wu have taken advantage of it." Lu Rui glanced at Cao Cao and saw worry in Cao Cao's eyes, except for Liu Bei and Yuan Shao, I am afraid that Sun Quan is the third person who made Cao Cao show this kind of look!
"Well, but Sun Quan also had a time when he missed calculations, and he didn't expect the Wu family to love Xiao Qiao so much!" Cao Cao threw the wine glass. A look of disappointment.
Originally, if Cao Cao had been tricked, he would have accepted the big and small Qiao. But now that you know Sun Quan's plan, and then accept Big and Little Qiao, then you will lose face, it is a pit, and you still step on it? Doesn't it make Sun Quan despise?
"Father Zhong, then the Wu family and Xiao Qiao, what are the middle fathers going to do?" Lu Rui asked Cao Cao tentatively.
"Bonghyo, tell me what you think!"
"Yes, my lord!"
"Extraordinary. The teacher thinks that since the lord has made it like this. Then the Wu family will be included in the Sikong Mansion, as for the big and small Qiao, the meaning of being a teacher is to let Gu Yong marry Da Qiao, and Xiao Qiao will bring back Xu Du to marry the Cao clan. Guo Jia said what he thought.
"The master is reasonable, and Bufan agrees to do so." If something like this happens, there must be no room for maneuver, in this case, use the big and small Qiao to divide Jiangdong, and at the same time hit the morale of Sun Quan's forces, mother, sister-in-law are all accepted, what do you have to worry about?
"Good! Just do it according to the meaning of filial piety and extraordinary. Cao Cao waved his hand and let the two go down. I originally wanted to accept two beauties, but this time I became a middle-aged rhyme woman, and of course I was in a bad mood.
"Subordinates (children) retire!"
On the second day, Lu Rui went to Wu County and informed Gu Yong about Da Qiao.
"My subordinates have seen the little marquis!" Gu Yong saw that Lu Rui suddenly came to his house, and he didn't understand what was going on, so he hurriedly saluted Lu Rui.
"Yuan sigh, don't be polite, it's reckless, and I visited suddenly."
"Hou Ye is polite, Hou Ye came to Yong's house, Yong is very honored, Hou Ye please!"
"Yuan sigh, please!"
"I don't know what happened when Master Hou was looking for Yong today?"
"Yuan sigh, have you ever heard of the matter in the Moling Wuhou Mansion?" Lu Rui played with the teacup in his hand and glanced at Gu Yong.
"This?" Gu Yong was stunned for a moment, not knowing why Lu Rui would ask like this.
"Little Hou Ye, are you right?" Gu Yong whispered in Lu Rui's ear.
"Exactly, I don't know what Yuan Si thinks?"
"Little Marquis, if you become a king or lose a villain, Lord Sikong just accepted a woman, it's just a trivial matter." Gu Yong took the opportunity to say his opinion, the winner accepted a loser's mother, which is normal!
"Yuan Si is really high, today I am here to be a big matchmaker for Yuan Si."
"Big media?" Gu Yong can't turn a corner, Lu Rui helps him be a matchmaker?
"Yes, Yuan sigh, Lord Sikong has seen the famous Jiangdong big and small Qiao in the mansion. Lord Sikong wanted Yuan Si to accept Da Qiao, and Xiao Qiao was brought back by Lord Sikong to marry Xu Du and marry Yuan Si, a member of the Cao clan, was Yuan Si willing to marry Lord Sikong? Lu Rui put the marriage book in front of Gu Yong.
Gu Yong shouted in his heart, what kind of matchmaker is this, it is simply forcing Gu Yong to his death, this is clearly to make Gu Yong and the Sun family completely break up, there is no room for negotiation, who is Da Qiao, what is his prestige in the Sun army, how can Gu Yong not know?
"Yuan Si, I don't know the kindness of Lord Sikong, does Yuan Si accept it?"
"Master Hou said with a smile, Da Qiao's beauty is famous in Jiangdong, Yong can get a beauty, how can I not want to, please Lord Hou thank Sikong on my behalf!" Gu Yong is chasing ducks to the shelves, there is no way, if he doesn't agree, Lu Rui will find other Jiangdong families, he is just one of the many candidates, in order not to offend Cao Cao, just accept a beauty!
"Hahahaha! Congratulations to Yuan Si for being a beautiful woman, Rui will return to Moling to inform Lord Sikong! Lu Rui had already done the matter, so he left and returned to Moling to report the good news to Cao Cao.
Seven days later, Cao Cao held a wedding for Gu Yong in Moling. Gu Yong married Sun Ce's widow Da Qiao, completely broke with the Sun family, and became Cao Jun's important minister in Jiangdong.
After the wedding ceremony for Gu Yong, Cao Cao left Jiangdong. Cao Cao went to the imperial court, added Lu Rui as the general of Zhendong, Yangzhou Mu, and Moling Taishou stationed in Jiangdong. At the same time, he left a group of auxiliary people for Lu Rui, namely: Cao Zhen, Cao Chong, Jiang Ji, Liu Ye, Wang Lang, Zhu Ling, Yan Xiang, and Yuan Lian.
After Lu Rui took over the Great Seal in Taishou Mansion, he sent Cao Cao to Moling Ferry and returned to Moling City.
In the military tent of Sun Quan of Yuzhang, Sun Quan pacified Shanyue, a relatively large force in Yuzhang, and stationed in Yuzhang City, and at this time Cao Cao's messenger also arrived.
Cao Cao's messenger informed the Jiangdong Wenwu of Yuzhang how to deal with the family members in the Wuhou Mansion, and except for Da Qiao who entered the Gu Yong Mansion, the rest of the Wuhou Mansion were brought back to Xudu by Cao Cao. Cao Cao sent Sun Quan a sentence: The son serves the mother as the mother, and the son should be like Sun Zhongmou!
"Cao Cao, I am inseparable from you!" Sun Quan roared, angry and spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Lord!" Lu Su immediately stepped forward to help Sun Quan. Since then, Jiangdong has been divided into two, Wu County and Huiji County in the east belong to Cao Cao, and Yuzhang and Lujiang County in the west are still under the control of Sun Quan. (To be continued......)
