Chapter 442, Gu Yuan sighed
The vast river is rolling eastward, the dead are like this, and how many heroes have been swept away by the waves! As the longest river in China, the Yangtze River has nurtured countless people from ancient times to the present, and is known as the "mother river" of the Chinese nation together with the Yellow River. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info even more so for Wu Jun.
From the perspective of later generations, Wu County during the Three Kingdoms period was located on the alluvial plain at the mouth of the Yangtze River, which not only had fertile land but also convenient transportation, which was one of the reasons why Wu County was able to gradually develop from a barbarian land to the most important urban agglomeration in later generations.
On the whole, the Yangtze River in the east-west direction, when it flows through Chaisang, turns a corner and flows straight to the northeast, so that this section of the Yangtze River presents a southwest-northeast trend, including most of Yuzhang, Danyang, Wu and Huiji, all of which are east of the Yangtze River, so this vast land is called Jiangdong by the people of the time, also known as Jiangyou, and Wu Land, which was once the center of Wu, is the representative of Jiangdong.
But in fact, as the outermost Wu County near the sea, there are not many Yangtze River waterways at all, with the Yangtze River as the boundary, the left side of the river is Jiujiang and Lujiang, and the right side of the river mostly belongs to Danyang and Yuzhang. Even if the Lu family had a strong strength on the water, in this kind of war, they could not easily drive the fleet into the Yangtze River. Because Yuan Shu on the left side of the river and Liu Feng on the right side of the river are both enemies of the Lu family. This is also the reason why the Lu family sent someone to contact Liu Feng, because if they forcibly act and go to Lujiang to welcome Lu Ji back, maybe Yuan Shu or Lu Bu will leave them all behind as soon as they are annoyed.
Liu Feng's navy has always been weak, even if there are already two generals, Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai, it is too difficult to train the navy, and Danyang is not famous for the navy, and many people who are familiar with water are attracted by Wu County. Now in addition to a fleet that harasses Wu County from time to time on the open sea, there is also a small fleet in Danyang, which is the original integration of Danyang's naval army, the number is not large, only tens of thousands, and there are not many ships, dozens of large and small, but there is not even a building ship. It's enough to patrol and block small groups of water thieves and even players, but if you want to take it out to fight, it's a little insufficient.
In the past, Liu Feng's main fleet could come quietly, as long as he didn't provoke Wu Jun, but now, Liu Feng would not take risks with the naval army that he had raised with great difficulty.
Standing on the deck, Liu Feng never imagined that he would have such a day. The battle of Dantu continued, and he cooperated with the people of the Lu family first.
This is the river outside the river, close to Dantu, not long ago, a fleet of three medium-sized building ships and more than ten small building ships as the main body of the Lu family bypassed the eyes and ears of other families in Wu County and secretly arrived here. Liu Feng took a flat boat and a few guards to come here and meet with one of the principals of the Lu family.
Thinking about the grateful look of the person in charge of the Lu family just now, Liu Feng became even more determined in his choice, and the scene a few days ago appeared in front of him again.
"The opportunity to defeat the Dantu?" After being blocked here for half a year, Liu Feng was already a little impatient, and he was overjoyed when he heard the words, "Gongda will be out?" ”
"Since the Lu family came to contact us despite the fact that the two sides are at war, it is obvious that it has reached a critical juncture, the lord can pretend to agree, put forward simple conditions, and then wait for the Lu family to cross the border, detain him, and force the Lu family to surrender to our side, and take down the Dantu under the cooperation of the inside and the outside." Xun You said.
"If that's the case, my reputation in Wu County will be completely finished, and the Wu County clan will do everything in their power to prevent me from entering Wu County." Liu Feng shook his head, "Besides, this plan will be easily recognized, even if the Lu family is anxious for the head of the family to be fooled for a while, they will soon be able to wake up, the Lu family has more than one heir, even if he is taken, it may force the Lu family to give up Lu Ji, and I also want to recruit the children of the Lu family in the future, this is undoubtedly self-isolation from the Lu family, no, is there any other way?" ”
"Of course, this is the next policy, if it is the middle policy, the lord can ignore the Lu family's request, and quietly reveal the Lu family's behavior to the other families in Wu County, sow the seeds of suspicion between them, cause discord between them, and in time, when they break up, the lord can unite one side and defeat the other." Xun You continued to give his own advice.
"This plan is too slow, I can't wait that long, besides, the four major families of Wu County have been united for hundreds of years, and this divisive plan may not be able to fool them. Is there a better strategy? Liu Feng once again vetoed Xun You's middle strategy.
"The best strategy is to work hard to form a good relationship with the Lu family, spare no effort to help, get the Lu family out of the shadow of Lu Kang's death, and continue to suppress the others. After receiving Lu Jiazi, our helpful behavior will no longer need to be kept secret at all, so that the world will know the benevolence and righteousness of the lord, after all, Lu Fujun was also a colleague of the lord, and he died for the loyalty of the Han Dynasty. Being rejected twice in a row, Xun You was not discouraged and continued.
"Okay, all I need is this kind of conspiracy. Even if the Lu family is dissatisfied, they can't say anything, it's hard for him to refuse our help. After the news spread, I was afraid that Dantu City and even Wu County would be divided, because no one could be sure whether the Lu family would really join Liu Feng, and they would not rest assured that they would hand over their backs to such allies. Once this strategy is successful, it will be simple for us to take down the Dantu and even the entire Wu County. Liu Fengxi said.
After the plan was decided, then it was the discussion between the two sides, and a few days later, the two sides reached an agreement: Liu Feng helped the Lu family take Lu Ji and Lu Xun back to Jiangdong and send them to the Lu family; The Lu family is under its control, and from now on, not a single soldier or soldier is allowed to be transported to the Dantu, no material is allowed, and the Lu family's naval army is not allowed to attack in the battle of the Dantu.
For this reason, Liu Feng even went out in person, he wanted to go to Lujiang again, meet Yuan Shu and Lu Bu, strengthen their determination to go north and compete with Yuan Shao and Cao Cao for Yan and Ji, and buy time for himself to pacify Jiangdong.
That's why Liu Feng appeared on the Lu family's boat.
……
Liu Feng left the Dantu and embarked on the road to Lujiang, and it would take a few days to arrive in Shu County to meet Yuan Shu and Lu Bu. However, the battle of Dantu did not end, and Xun You unified the command and continued to put pressure on Dantu.
Thousands of miles away in Wu County, not long after the news of Lu Kang's death came, the other three families secretly held several talks, the purpose was to weaken the influence of the Lu family in Wu County, and to raise the status of several of them in the eyes of the people, surpassing the Lu family.
After a few days of deliberation, the heads of the three families finally reached an agreement on this day and determined a specific plan to weaken the Lu family.
Before returning home, the head of the Gu family breathed a sigh of relief, held back the excitement in his heart, put on the posture of a high-ranking family, and returned to the middle hall of the Gu family.
"Hahaha, hahaha......" After coming back, there was no one around, and he finally couldn't help laughing. He couldn't help but laugh, what the family had dreamed of for generations was about to be achieved in his hands, and he had no reason not to be excited. Gu Lu Zhu Zhang, it must be truly realized, the Gu family can't always let the Lu family overwhelm him.
"The head of the house......" The old servant's voice interrupted the proud Lu family master, he glared at the old servant, secretly scolded him for not having an eye, didn't wait for himself to finish venting, and then calmed down and asked in a deep voice: "Say, what's the matter?" ”
"The eldest prince has a letter, and he is in a hurry." The old servant was terrified.
"Yuan sigh? What's the matter with him? The Gu family master really calmed down this time, took the letter, motioned the old servant to go down, and then opened his son's letter and began to read.
The letter didn't last long, but he read it slowly, as if it was a word for word consideration, and after a long time, he finally read it, and was silent.
"The plan to weaken the Lu family was just made here, and Yuan Si sent a letter to persuade me not to do this, but to give the Lu family timely help, how can I explain to the other two families?" After a long time, the head of the Gu family sighed and whispered, "But this letter from Yuan Si has already convinced me and I have to follow." That's right, since there is an opportunity to surpass the Lu family above board, why engage in this kind of conspiracy? The old man can't do it, so the matter will be handed over to Yuan Si. The Zhu and Zhang families can only be sorry. (To be continued.) )
