Sun Quan was restless and couldn't sleep.

This is all because before going to bed, he had just received a slightly strange message.

Zhou Yu's wife, Qiao, is missing. The Zhou Mansion in Wu County is still there, everything is as usual, but Qiao's and a few of her handmaidens are gone. About half a month ago, after an unusually unusually outing, no one saw her again. No one knows where she has gone or where she is now.

When Sun Quan began to hear the news, he didn't realize the weirdness of it. He even felt that it was a bit reckless for Lu Yi to send this news in a hurry. Joe is a woman, where can she go? Maybe it was because of loneliness, I went to live in an acquaintance's house for two days, and the school affairs of the Zhou Mansion were reported as a major event.

These school officials often do this, which is quite like holding chicken feathers as a flag.

When Zhou Yi, who had been missing for several months, appeared in Wuchang and reported to him the possible whereabouts of Zhou Yin's disappearance, Sun Quan tasted the strangeness in it.

Zhou Yin disappeared a few months ago and disappeared at the western foot of Luoxiao Mountain.

Sun Deng and the crown princess Zhou rushed to Chengdu a month ago as hostages.

Half a month ago, Zhou Yu's wife Qiao Shi also disappeared.

In other words, the three most important people of the Zhou family were out of his sight. The disappearance of a person may be an accident, but the three of them left one after another, and the time was so close that it couldn't help but attract Sun Quan's attention. Then, he thought of the incredible victory of the Jiaozhou Sailor.

Xiahou Xuan and Zhuge Dan were both famous men of Cao Wei, and they had never had experience in leading troops, even if the warships of the Jiaozhou Navy Division had obvious advantages. How could their attacks be so sharp? The generals of the Wu army who were defeated by them said in unison that their tactics were very proficient, and they did not look like a novice at all.

This once made Sun Quan angry, he thought that the generals were shirking their responsibilities, but now he felt that there was another possibility. That is, there are generals in the Jiaozhou Navy Division who are familiar with water warfare, and this general is likely to be Zhou Yin.

In terms of personal character and learning, Zhou Yin is not as good as his brother Zhou Xun, and he cannot be compared with his father Zhou Yu, but in terms of combat ability, Zhou Yin is more like his father Zhou Yu than Zhou Xun. He is not good at reading. But he likes to fight. has talents, otherwise Sun Quan would not have married the daughter of the clan to him. It's just that this person is too wild, so wild that it is unacceptable, so Sun Quan doesn't like him very much.

If he is in command of the Jiaozhou Naval Division. With his ability and the strong strength of the Jiaozhou Water Division. Such a victory is not surprising.

It's just that this conjecture is too shocking. Zhou Yu was one of the founding fathers of Jiangdong. Even after nearly twenty years of death, he still has an irreplaceable position, and Lü Meng defeated Guan Yu. Lu Xun's defeat of Liu Bei is an impressive feat, but compared with Zhou Yu's defeat of Cao Cao, it will inevitably be overshadowed.

Zhou Yin's defection to serve Wei Ba would be a heavy blow to the state of Wu.

Sun Quan was a little at a loss and didn't know how to deal with it, how would he explain it to his ministers?

He lay on the bed and felt the whole palace shake.

He lay down for a long time, thought about it for a long time, sat up in his clothes, and wrote a letter to Lu Xun. At this critical juncture of life and death, he couldn't think of anyone else to ask other than Lu Xun.

……

At the same time, Lu Xun was also writing a letter to Sun Quan.

Lu Xun was stationed in Yingchuan, very close to Cao Wei and very close to Guanzhong, he didn't dare to be careless, so he sent scouts far away.

The news that Zhuge Liang had gathered troops and horses in Guanzhong naturally could not escape his ears and eyes. He will be skeptical of the so-called capital test, whether it is true or not, he must be ready to fight. After the scout sneaked to Guanzhong and found out that Zhuge Liang had not appeared in public for a long time, Lu Xun was sensitive to the fact that Zhuge Liang's body might have a big problem.

As the most strategically minded general in Wu at present, Lu Xun knows very well what kind of impact Zhuge Liang will have on the entire situation once he dies. The alliance between Wu and Shu Han is mainly an alliance with Zhuge Liang, if Zhuge Liang dies, Li Yan or Wei Ba seizes the power of Shu Han, it will further squeeze the living space of Wu State.

Lu Xun had not met Zhuge Liang himself, but through their letters, they knew each other even more clearly than themselves. He could also guess what Zhuge Liang was doing, but he was not optimistic about Jiang Wei at all.

Jiang Wei has no foundation in Shu Han, his time in Shu Han is too short, and without Zhuge Liang's extraordinary intelligence and perseverance, it is impossible for him to reproduce the glory of Zhuge Liang's monopoly on power. His several battles are remarkable, which does not mean that he can achieve the same results in the court. What's more, he has a very strong opponent: Wei Ba.

Lu Xun didn't think he would be able to control Guanzhong after Zhuge Liang's death.

Once Zhuge Liang died, the political situation of Shu Han would definitely undergo major changes, and the state of Wu would inevitably be impacted. At this time, Lu Xun has the responsibility to remind Sun Quan to take countermeasures. If he can grasp this opportunity, Wu Guo may still have a glimmer of life, and if he takes a wrong step, there may be an abyss ahead.

After Lu Xun finished writing the letter, he checked it carefully, and he had to be very careful when writing a letter to Sun Quan, who knows which word was used inappropriately, which touched those thorns in Sun Quan's heart. Now is an extraordinary time, Sun Quan is more sensitive, he has to be more careful.

Lu Lan hurriedly walked in, glanced at the letter on the case, wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, and sat in front of Lu Xun. Lu Xun glanced at him in some surprise. After a few years of tempering, Lu Lan has become much calmer and can take charge on his own, and there are not many times when he is out of shape like this.

"What's the matter?"

"Zhang Huishu's letter." Lu Lan took out a letter from his arms, and the letter was soaked in his sweat and was a little wet. "The fast horse is sent through Nanyang."

Lu Xun chuckled in his heart. Sun Quan proclaimed himself a minister to Shu Han, nominally Han and Wu were a family, and it was not surprising that Zhang Wen's letter passed through Nanyang, but this meant that the letter came directly from Jiaozhou, which was a little abnormal.

Lu Xun immediately took the letter and read it, and couldn't help but gasp. Lu Lan stared at his eyes and subconsciously lowered her voice: "What should I do?" ”

Lu Xun blinked, allowing himself to recover from the shock. He glanced at the letter he had just written, and smiled bitterly: "It seems that our news is still a step slower, Li Yan is already ready to make a move, and Wei Ba has already started to do it." ”

"What?" Lu Lan was confused, and didn't understand what Lu Xun was talking about for a while.

"It's simple." Lu Xun shook the letter in his hand: "Zhuge Liang is seriously ill, Li Yan wants to take this opportunity to fight for Guanzhong, and Wei Ba stays out of the matter, fueling the troubles, and at the same time taking advantage of Li Yan's attention to Guanzhong to invade my Dongwu foundation." As long as thirty percent of these people agree to go out, the hearts of the people of Soochow will collapse. ”

He paused, and then sighed: "Judging from Zhang Wen's tone, he is probably happy to see it." ”

Only then did Lu Lan understand, and she couldn't help but be shocked. He read Zhang Wen's letter again, and sure enough, he saw Lu Xun's worry. Zhang Wenman didn't say a word of objection on paper, but only told him that there was such a thing, and even envied Lu Mao for being at the top of the list. But there is some ridicule in this envy, with his understanding of Zhang Wen, he knows that there must be another reason behind this ease, the biggest possibility is that Zhang Wen has received the greatest benefit, far more than Lu Mao can get.

Zhang Wen and Wei Ba have been friends for many years, and Wei Ba wants to recruit talents from Wu Di, so naturally he will not let go of talents like him. The building near the water was the first to get the moon, and Zhang Wen took the first step, which was also expected.

Lu Xun sat down, picked up the letter he had just written, glanced at it, rolled it into a roll, stretched it out on the fire and lit it. The light of the fire shone brightly, and his eyes showed a strange look. Lu Lan saw it in his eyes, and his heart moved, he had already guessed what Lu Xun was going to do.

Lu Xun sat down again, spread out the bamboo paper, picked up the pen, and wrote stroke by stroke.

……

Sun Deng stood aside with his hands arched, looking at Mrs. Sun and Sun Luban who were dancing with swords, frowning and worried.

It has been more than ten days since he arrived in Chengdu, and today is the first time he has come to see his aunt. Since Sun Luban returned to Chengdu, Mrs. Sun has a companion and is in a good mental state, and she often practices swords and rides horses with Sun Luban, and lives a very comfortable life. In contrast, Sun Deng is a little old and decrepit, with a bitter gourd face, and no one is comfortable seeing it.

It's no wonder that Sun Deng, Sun Deng's difficulties are not something that Mrs. Sun can understand, and as for Sun Luban's heartless goods, she is not in the mood to understand it at all.

As soon as Sun Deng arrived in Chengdu, he heard some unpleasant rumors. When he met Liu Chan, Liu Chan asked him a bunch of nonsense, that is, he asked him what interesting people were in Jiangdong. Sun Deng found that Liu Chan, who chewed the fruit and chewed a mouthful of red saliva, was actually no stranger to Jiangdong, knew a lot of talents, and knew many Jiangdong families who were not treated by Sun Quan.

This made him wary.

After seeing the general Li Yan and hearing from Li Yan that he was going to recruit talents from Jiangdong, Sun Deng became even more nervous. The relationship between the Jiangdong family and his father Sun Quan has always been tense, originally Sun Quan had the upper hand, because the Jiangdong family had nowhere to go, and they could not drag their families to escape from Dongwu, so they could only swallow their anger, but now the situation is different, if the Chengdu court wants to recruit them into the office, the attraction is difficult for them to resist. In this way, his father Sun Quan has no advantage in this contest.

Sun Deng came to Mrs. Sun today, hoping to use Mrs. Sun's influence on Liu Chan to buy a little time as much as possible, so that his father Sun Quan could be prepared. However, Mrs. Sun was bent on practicing swords with Sun Luban and turned a deaf ear to his request.

This worries him very much.

It is no secret that my aunt resents her father and the king within the Sun clan. In order to entrap Liu Bei, his father married his aunt to Liu Bei, who was more than 20 years older than her, despite his aunt's strong opposition. After coming back, the battle of Jingzhou was defeated, and he sent his aunt to Chengdu as a sacrifice. My aunt's life was ruined in his hands, and now he himself is going to be ruined in Wei Ba's hands, and my aunt has not tasted a little pleasure of revenge.

Her reluctance to help is understandable.

It's just that in this way, the prospects of the Sun family are not good...... (To be continued......)
