Liao Li stood on the overpass, blowing the whistling mountain breeze, cool, and comfortable physically and mentally. After arriving at Longyan Beach, he liked the overpass left by Wei Ba very much, and specially ordered a pergola to be built on the overpass to block the midsummer sun. Standing on a high place, the mountain breeze blows from all sides without obstruction, which is a rare enjoyment in the hot summer. After overcoming his fear of heights, Liao Li quickly liked this feeling, and even made people move their daily work here to deal with it, and regarded this place as his governing party. Holding great power, but being able to enjoy the fun of the mountains at any time, this strange feeling fascinated Liao Li.

Today, Lu Xun sent Lu Lan to Longyan Beach, and he said that he would send new rice to Liao Li to try it. Lu Xun was in Chenyang, regarded himself as the new Wuling Taishou, went all out for the autumn harvest, was meticulous, and truly returned the grains to the warehouse. He also took great care of the people who stayed in Chenyang, and did not allow his subordinates to disturb them in any way. When the autumn harvest was tense, he also asked the soldiers to help these people harvest, which was like a family between the army and the people.

Lu Xun's efforts were not in vain, Chenyang was as stable as ever, the army and the people were safe, and the people of Chenyang seemed to forget that they were already subjects of Shu Han and coexisted peacefully with Lu Xun. These news reached Liao Li's ears, and he sneered at them on the surface, but in fact he was secretly vigilant. He was very worried about Lu Xun's move to buy the hearts of the people, even more than he was worried about Lu Xun's force. He was worried that after too much time, the people of Chenyang would regard Lu Xun as the real master. But he couldn't do anything, Wei Ba's army was fighting in Yulin, and he had no time to take care of Chenyang.

Today, Lu Xun sent Lu Lan to deliver new rice. It was friendly, but in Liao's view, it was a wordless demonstration.

"How is Liao Jun lately?" Lu Lan walked up to the creaky bamboo bridge and kept as calm as possible. He had a gentle smile on his face, but his face was a little pale.

"Looking far away, it is naturally more comfortable to see than Chenyang's side of the sky, so I invite you to come here." Liao Li said with a smile: "It's better to be happy alone than to be happy with everyone." ”

"Liao Jun is really extraordinary. This kind of fun is not something that ordinary people can enjoy, at least I am trembling and not feeling a little fun now. Lu Lan smiled bitterly. Be honest. He knew very well that Liao Li had invited him here to make him uncomfortable. Make him nervous, if he hides his embarrassment, Liao Li may make him more uncomfortable, it is better to be honest. Bow down. On the contrary, it does not lose its grace.

"Lu Jun is a gentleman. It's inconceivable to do something treacherous. Liao Li said lightly, with a ridiculous smile on his face.

"Four words of perfidy. It doesn't seem to be able to press on our heads, right? Lu Lan replied with a smile: "It was you Wei Fujun who broke the contract first, and we were forced to fight back." ”

"We, Wei Fujun, declared war on you because you shielded the Xiongxi tribe and didn't return it. You attacked Chenyang but didn't declare war on us, isn't this treachery? ”

Lu Lan sighed. "Liao Jun, this kind of matter is inconclusive, let's not argue, right? It's a pity to spoil the good mood. ”

Liao Li hahadaxiao, no longer arguing about this issue, instead asked: "Then Lu Jun is here today, what is the matter, does he want to return Chenyang?" ”

"The general sent me here to see how Miaojun's life is doing here, what he still lacks, and whether he has any plans to return to Chenyang. The general has admired Liao Jun for a long time, and very much hopes to have the opportunity to have a drink with Liao Jun, talk about learning, discuss the essence of the sage, and exchange views on the general trend of the world. ”

Liao Li smiled slightly, disapproving. "The auxiliary general is in a high position, I am just a small official, how dare I have a drink with the general. This kind of thing, let's wait for our Wei Fujun to come back and let him communicate with General Lu! Although Wei Fujun is young, his knowledge is no less than mine, and I think he must be able to talk happily with the general. ”

Lu Lan didn't say anything more. He knew that it was impossible for Liao Li to throw himself into Sun Wu, otherwise he would not have left Changsha and fled back to Chengdu. Back then, it was because of Liu Bei's appreciation of him, and now Wei Ba handed over the affairs of the entire Wuling to him, and he was no less important to him than Liu Bei, how could he betray Wei Ba and defect to Sun Wu.

"Liao Jun has been away from your house for a long time, are you interested in going back and seeing? We can keep you safe. ”

Liao Li shook his head: "As a chief official appointed by the monarch, I am responsible for staying in Wuling, but now I have lost Chenyang, like a lost dog, what face do I have to go back to see my hometown father." Let's wait a little longer, and wait for Wei Fujun to come back. ”

Lu Lan laughed and looked at Liao Li with interest: "Do you think you can come back for Wei Fujun?" ”

"Weishenme, no?" Liao Li asked rhetorically: "I have full confidence in Wei Fujun. Fortresses like Yan Guan couldn't stop him, what else could stop him from moving forward? ”

Lu Lan smiled. "Then let's wait and see!"

……

Wuchang.

Sun Quan's face was pale, and the military newspaper was rattling in his hand. Dai Liang died in battle, and Jiaozhou was out of control, and the news made him unable to believe it. Wei Ba was so powerful that it was beyond anyone's imagination. He didn't know how to deal with the rest of the battle. Can Pan Jun alone defeat Wei Ba, or should he transfer Lu Xun to participate in the war? Lu Xun stayed in Chenyang and did not move. There was no comment on the fact that he sent Pan Jun to Changsha to supervise the war, but Sun Quan knew that silence did not mean that there was no opinion, but rather a wordless opposition.

Sun Quan was very angry. He didn't think there was any selfishness in sending Pan Jun to do this, and Lu Xun should be able to understand his thoughts. After all, the biggest task at hand is to defeat Wei Ba and recapture Wuling. The struggle between the Jiangdong and Jianghuai factions was an internal matter of the Wu State, and it should not affect the overall situation because of this. Putting the interests of the family above the interests of the state is something that Sun Quan cannot bear. He always thought that Lu Xun understood the righteousness and would not do such a short-sighted thing. But reality broke his wishes, and it was obvious that in Lu Xun's mind, the interests of the Jiangdong clan far exceeded the interests of the Wu State.

By extension, if someone is willing to give the Jiangdong clan more conditions, will they betray me? Sun Quan remembered what the Jiangdong people had done in the Yiyuan Incident, and he was even more furious.

Do you want to transfer Lu Xun to the war? Sun Quan was very entangled. In his opinion. Lu Xun stayed in Chenyang and did not go to the front line, obviously taking the occupation of Chenyang as his credit - although everyone knew that Chenyang was only given up by Wei Ba, but compared to Zhuge Ke's failure in Linhe, the occupation of Chenyang was a credit after all, and it was the only record that the Wu army had achieved so far, and no one could deny that it was a victory. Lu Xun is using his victory to set off the incompetence of Pan Jun and others, if he is transferred to the front line at this time, will he take Zuihou's victory as his own, and then ask him for more benefits.

Whether to use it or not is not only about the frontline battlefield. It is also related to the balance of power in the entire state of Wu. Send Lu Xun to the front. Pan Jun and Zhuge Ke will definitely be suppressed. Zhu Ji, as a southern lieutenant, dared to resist orders, so why didn't Lu Xun dare? The Jiangdong people are getting bolder and bigger, which makes Sun Quan very uneasy.

"The King." Zhuge Jin walked in and bowed to the ground.

"Ziyu is back. How did you talk to Brother Ling, Zhuge Cheng? Sun Quan raised his eyebrows. Hold the hand holding the military newspaper behind your back. When he sent Zhuge Ke to the front line. Zhuge Jin objected and admonished him many times in private, but he refused. Now Zhuge Ke is fighting on the front line. He didn't want Zhuge Jin to know, otherwise Zhuge Jin would persuade him again.

"Zhuge Liang was willing to withdraw Wei Ba, however, he demanded that the territory be redivided."

"Re-split?" Sun Quan was puzzled. "Didn't Wuling already give it to him?"

"He wants to divide Jiaozhou and appease Wei Ba." Zhuge Jin looked at Sun Quan worriedly, for fear that the news would stimulate Sun Quan. Sun Quan's temper He knew that the loss of Wuling was already an unbearable shame, and then divided Jiaozhou, how could Sun Quan's temperament agree.

To Zhuge Jin's surprise, Sun Quan was not angry, and did not even speak, but seemed a little silent. This silence made Zhuge Jin even more nervous. He turned his eyes and saw the cover of the military newspaper on the case. The three cinnabar were so dazzling that they made him nervous all of a sudden. Could it be that Zhuge Ke had some accident on the front line? Zhuge Jin never imagined that Zhuge Ke would be able to defeat Wei Ba, and he was even more worried about his safety.

"This condition is really preferential!" Sun Quan said mockingly.

Zhuge Jin didn't know whether Sun Quan was true or not, and he didn't know how to answer for a while. Seeing that Zhuge Jin was submissive and honest, Sun Quan sighed and handed the military report in his hand to Zhuge Jin. "Look at it, and then you will know how tolerant Brother Ling Kong Ming is. However, I doubt that Wei Ba will follow his orders and divide Jiaozhou with us. ”

Zhuge Jin was taken aback, hurriedly opened the military newspaper, and quickly read it. Seeing that Zhuge Ke was safe and sound, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then realized that his attitude was wrong, and quickly straightened his face, a look of embarrassment. Sun Quan laughed instead and asked, "Worried about your son?" ”

"The minister is not only worried about him. When he was in Guanzhong, he once talked about this matter with his younger brother, and he also felt that the dog had a rough personality and was not suitable for a general, and he was worried that he would miss the country's major affairs and ruin his own life. ”

"Does Kong Ming think the same way?" Sun Quan shook his head. "I don't think so. Your brothers are too restrained, but they are not fit to be generals. What kind of person is Wei Ba, didn't Zhuge Liang think he couldn't do it at the beginning, but look at him now, although I am his enemy, I have to admire him as a real general, and his future achievements may be above Brother Ling. ”

Zhuge Jin didn't speak. He knew that Sun Quan had been trying his best to sow discord between Zhuge Liang and Wei Ba, hoping to stir up discord within Shu. When it came to his brother, he couldn't give an opinion.

"You don't believe what I'm saying?" Seeing that Zhuge Jin didn't speak, Sun Quan asked.

"What the king said is naturally the truth. However, within the Shu Kingdom, it is not yet Wei Ba's turn to be self-contained. ”

"Really?" Sun Quan heard the meaning of the words and immediately became excited. "Who is it? Are you from Yizhou or Dongzhou? ”

Zhuge Jin sighed secretly. Good things don't go out, ugly things spread thousands of miles, and the internal disputes in Shu have spread to Dongwu.

"It's Li Yan. She originally ordered him to be stationed in Hanzhong to transport grain and grass for the army. However, he took this opportunity to propose to cut the five counties into Jiangzhou and open the government to govern affairs, but refused to go to Hanzhong. ”

"It turned out to be this villain." Sun Quan was dismissive and a little disappointed. "He's not Ling Brother Kong Ming's opponent." (To be continued......)
