Under the protection of Mi Yang's people along the way, Zhu Huan and Xu Sheng successfully returned to the territory of the Wu Dynasty.

When Zhu Huan's footsteps stepped on the land outside Yong'an City, Zhu Huan's heart that had been hanging all the way finally let go.

After learning the news of Zhu Huan's return, Jiangxia Taishou Hu Zong hurriedly went out of the city in person and welcomed Zhu Huan and Xu Sheng into the city.

Hu Zongzi Wei Ze was originally from Runan County, Yuzhou.

Hu Zong lost his father when he was a child, and came to Jiangdong to escape the war when he was a teenager.

When Sun Ce initially pacified Jiangdong, Hu Zong became a follower because of his reputation and was one of Sun Quan's companions.

With this relationship, since Sun Quan inherited the Jiangdong foundation, he began to reuse Hu Zong.

Sun Quan first appointed Hu Zong as Jin Cao, and later promoted to the post of chief of Hubei.

After the Battle of Chibi, Sun Quan recruited Hu Zong to Jianye and became one of the secretaries in charge of military and political affairs around him.

After the battle of Gong'an, Sun Quan renamed Sha Xian Yong'an.

In order to make the "Yong'an" city always be a barrier to Jiangdong, Sun Quan worshiped his henchman Hu Zong to guard Jiangxia and govern Yong'an City.

Judging from Hu Zong's resume in the first half of his life, he is one of Sun Quan's most trusted henchmen.

But when he saw Hu Zong, Zhu Huan didn't give him a good look.

In addition to Zhu Huan's self-esteem personality, the internal reason is also because Hu Zong belongs to the Jiangbei scholars, and in terms of political interests, he has a natural conflict with Zhu Huan, who is a Jiangdong scholar.

Hu Zong naturally knew the reason why Zhu Huan didn't like him, but because of Lu Xun's order, Hu Zong did not conflict with Zhu Huan on the surface.

Hu Zong, who kept in mind Lu Xun's instructions, after welcoming Zhu Huan into Yong'an City, specially held a celebration banquet for him and Xu Sheng.

In order to boost his morale, Lu Xun made the contents of the war letter he wrote to Mi Yang public as early as possible.

Therefore, when Zhu Huan had not come back before, most of the people in the Wu Dynasty thought that Zhu Huan's departure was basically more auspicious.

What many people didn't expect was that Zhu Huan and Xu Sheng came back safe and sound in the end.

Although it is not clear, why Mi Yang was able to let Zhu Huan and Xu Sheng come back after being abused.

But since Zhu Huan and Xu Sheng went at risk, it was naturally a great joy that they could return safely in the end.

At least with a little polishing of this matter, Zhu Huan and Xu Sheng can be polished into an image that is not afraid of ***, which will greatly improve the morale of Wu Jun.

Since it is a happy event, then it is also the proper meaning to set up a banquet to celebrate.

Hu Zong's idea is good, but he missed a point, which is Zhu Huan's character.

After Zhu Huan returned to Yong'an, he found that the people in the city looked at him with admiration, which greatly contributed to Zhu Huan's already arrogant temperament.

When the arrogant Zhu Huan went to the banquet, he found that his seat was arranged under Hu Zong, which made him very unhappy.

With Lu Xun's talent and family background, his identity is above himself, and Zhu Huan doesn't say anything.

But Hu Zong is a fortunate minister, how can he be virtuous?

And as the wine continued to drink, Zhu Huan, who was half-drunk, found something that made him even more intolerable.

Zhu Huan, who was full of wine, looked around the banquet and made sure that he was not mistaken, so he asked Hu Zongdao with a cold face:

"Where's Han Zong?"

Hearing Zhu Huan ask about Han Zong's whereabouts, Hu Zong's face showed a slightly embarrassed look.

Han Zong is Han Dang's eldest son.

Han Dang died of illness at the beginning of this year, and Han Zong inherited Han Dang's pre-existing works under the convention of Soochow.

After Sun Quan learned the news of Han Dang's death, he felt that Han Dang was the father of the Three Dynasties of Eastern Wu, so he issued an edict to worship Han Zong as the general of Hengjiang and garrison Yong'an together with Hu Zong.

Relying solely on the legacy left by Han Dang, it stands to reason that Han Zong's political career in Soochow should be very stable.

But this is not the case.

This is not after Sun Quan is inconsiderate of the heroes, really

It's Han Zong's style that is too bad.

Han Dang often led troops outside when he was alive, and over time, he neglected to discipline Han Zong.

The family background is extraordinary, and the elders are negligent in discipline, and the second generation who grew up in this situation has a normal personality.

But among so many second generations of Soochow, Han Zong's bad style can be ranked in the top three.

As early as when Han Dang was alive, Han Zong was known for his ugly behavior - Han Zong liked to play with women of the same race......

And after Han Dang's death, Han Zong, who inherited a large number of trilogies, became even more lawless.

To be honest, Sun Quan can let Han Zong guard Yong'an, which reflects his trust and expectations for Han Zong.

But after getting this appointment, how did Han Zong act?

He even sent his subordinates to disguise themselves as robbers and rob passing merchant ships on the Yangtze River.

What does not pay attention to industry norms is that he not only grabs money, but also likes to harm people's lives......

Han Zong thought that the things he did were very secretive, but what he didn't expect was that the evil things he did had already spread in Jiangxia County.

And because of the harm to others and the seizure of wealth, Han Zong and Zhu Huan have long had a feud.

You must know that the Zhu family of Wujun is a wealthy family in Jiangdong.

Many of the merchant ships on the Yangtze River had a close relationship with the Zhu clan of Wu County.

Han Zong also knew this, so he specially did not attend the banquet today, so as not to meet Zhu Huan at the banquet and cause big friction.

Han Zong's concerns, Hu Zong is clear.

And when Han Dang was alive, he had the grace of promoting Hu Zong, so even if he was unwilling, Hu Zong still defended Han Zong after being embarrassed:

"General Han is not feeling well today, and I hope Hugh Mu will not blame him."

Feeling unwell?

Zhu Huan is not a fool.

When he saw Hu Zong's stumbling appearance, he knew that Hu Zong was lying.

"How is it that when he murdered the lives of the people on the river, he was not unwell?"

Zhu Huan spit out this sentence directly with the strength of the wine.

And Zhu Huan's words directly made the atmosphere at the banquet instantly solidify.

The resentment in Zhu Huan's mouth can be felt by anyone.

This is not to blame Zhu Huan.

Let's not mention that there is a long-standing feud between Zhu Huan and Han Zong, let's just say that in the eyes of Zhu Huan, who thinks highly of himself, he returned as a hero of Wu State, but Han Zong asked Da Da not to participate in the banquet directly.

Isn't this a naked face-saving process?

And Zhu Huan saw that after he expressed his grievances, Hu Zong didn't even want to make amends, which made Zhu Huan feel that he was despised by Hu Zong and Han Zong.

If he can bear this, then he is not Zhu Huan.

Zhu Huan, who was drunk, angrily overturned the food table in front of him.

When the wine and food on the dining table were scattered all over the place, Zhu Huan, whose eyes were red, looked at the section cover behind Hu Zong, which symbolized the power of the trouble-free soldiers, and he said in a cold tone:

"The general promised me that when I returned, I would be the commander of the troubled soldiers!

Even if he is seriously ill in bed, I want him to come and pay his respects!"

After saying these cruel words, Zhu Huan left the banquet without looking back.

Zhu Huan's resolute departure was unexpected by everyone at the banquet.

Looking at Zhu Huan's departing back, they couldn't help but look at each other.

But at the same time, a question also appeared in their hearts, is what Zhu Huan just said true?

...

"What!

Then Zhu Xiao'er, really said that?"

In a military camp outside Yong'an City, a man with a cold face stood up angrily and asked his cronies below.

This man is none other than Han Zong.

In the face of Han Zong's questioning, his cronies, who knew that Han Zong's murderous nature, did not dare to hesitate at all.

"It's true!

His subordinates heard it with their own ears at the feast."

After hearing his cronies' answers, a thick look of panic appeared on Han Zong's face, and he fell to the ground uncontrollably.

Han Zong knew that no matter how bold Zhu Huan was, it would be impossible for him to falsely pass on Lu Xun's orders.

The predecessor of the Liberation Army was the pro-army of Sun Ce, the Marquis of Wu.

The official establishment of the Liberation Army was after the Battle of Public Security.

Since Sun Quan's fiasco in the battle of public security, he was worried in his heart, so he ordered Han Dang to use the pro-army left by Sun Ce as the basis, and then go to Danyang County to recruit people who dare to fight, so as to form a trouble-relieving army.

The meaning of the trouble-relieving soldier is: "invincible, can solve the danger".

Since the establishment of the Liberation Army, Han Dang has always served as the Governor of Relief and commanded this force.

And after several years of command, the trouble-relieving soldiers are gradually becoming Han Dang's personal troops.

This is not to blame Han Dang for being selfish, it is really the military system of Eastern Wu is a private military system, and under this system, it is almost inevitable to turn public into private.

Although after Han Dang's death, Sun Quan issued an edict to divide the trouble-relieving soldiers into two and handed them over to Hu Zong and Han Zong respectively.

But Hu Zong's talent for commanding troops is not strong, and the time is still short, and the thousands of trouble-relieving soldiers still have the mark of "Han's Tribe" on their bodies.

Han Zong knew very well that the powerful Annoyance Relief Soldier was his only reliance after Han Dang's death.

But now, Lu Xun wants to take away the only reliance on his life, how can this not make Han Zong panic.

Especially Han Zong knew that the evil things he did before had already made many people in the court dissatisfied with him.

Although Sun Quan has never issued an edict to question him for those things, how can Han Zong guarantee that Sun Quan is not waiting for a suitable opportunity?

That time may be the time when the military power in his hands is taken away.

Thinking of the rumors that Zhang Zhao had shed tears in the hall he had heard in the past, and how Sun Quan treated Sun Deng, it was really difficult for Han Zong to hold up a trace of expectation and trust in Sun Quan in his heart.

With the weight of Zhang Zhao's status and the relative of Sun Deng's identity, Sun Quan can still abandon it, not to mention that he and Sun Quan are not related?

Even if Sun Quan really doesn't want to attack him, once he loses control of the trouble-relieving soldiers, can he, without the protection of the soldiers, resist the framing of those enemies?

At this time, Han Zong remembered Zhu Huan's words that his cronies had retold to him.

No way!

Soon Han Zong realized that if Lu Xun was really allowed to take away the military power in his hands, then his future would be no different from a lamb to the slaughter.

Does Han Zong want to die?

That's definitely not going to happen.

So a bold idea gradually emerged in Han Zong's heart - another master!

Han Zong is now in Yong'an, and in terms of Yong'an's geographical location, he can surrender to Dahan or Cao Wei.

And who should this master choose?

While thinking about this question, Han Zong suddenly thought of Zhu Huan's safe return.

The content of Lu Xun's war book, Han Zong has seen it with his own eyes.

Originally, Han Zong thought that with Mi Yang's image that had been circulated in Jiangdong in the past, he would definitely be unable to help but kill Zhu Huan and Xu Sheng in anger after seeing the content of the war letter.

But it turned out that it didn't.

This is enough to reflect that Mi Yang's image has definitely been maliciously scandalized in the past.

Mi Da Sima is a virtuous man!

Just think about it, in the face of the person who sent the abusive war letter, Mi Yang can let it go generously, not to mention the self who deliberately sets things right?

Once it happens, let alone keep a life, I'm afraid *** Houlu will not be a problem.

In addition, Cao Wei and Dongwu are now in an alliance relationship, if he throws himself to Cao Wei, Cao Wei may not accept him for the sake of the overall situation of the alliance.

For the wicked, they tend to have additional talent bonuses when they consider what is at stake.

Almost instantly, Han Zong re-chose a master for himself in his heart.

And Han Zong is also a decisive person.

Han Zongli

That is, he bowed his head and wrote a sincere letterhead with a brush.

After putting down the brush in his hand, Han Zong carefully checked the contents of the letterhead again.

Not bad, enough to lick!

Han Zong was quite satisfied with what he wrote.

After seeing that there was no problem, Han Zong called a cronie.

Han Zong cautiously handed over the letterhead in his hand to the hands of his cronies, and then instructed:

"Send this letter to Xiangyang as quickly as possible.

Remember, if you are lucky enough to meet Mi Da Sima, your attitude must be respectful!"

After hearing Han Zong's order, his cronies didn't look half surprised.

This is not because this cronie does not know that Han Zong's behavior is collaborating with the enemy.

It's because this cronie knows too many secrets about Han Zong.

Han Zong even dared to rob the ships that were loaded with tribute and transported to Jianye, what else could he, the lord, not do?

The cronies carefully took the letterhead in Han Zong's hand, bowed solemnly to Han Zong, and quickly left the tent.

Looking at the back of his cronies leaving, Han Zong prayed silently in his heart:

"Da Sima, you must believe me!"

...

A few days later, Jiangxia County, Xiakou.

Lu Xun, who had just returned to Xiakou from Jianye, summoned Xu Sheng at the first time.

After Xu Sheng arrived, Lu Xun asked about what he had seen and heard in the past few days when he followed Zhu Huan.

Faced with Lu Xun's inquiry, Xu Sheng began to answer one by one.

Lu Xun listened while commenting on the documents on the case.

When he heard Mi Yang not being angry in the face of his insults, Lu Xun nodded imperceptibly.

Although Mi Yang did not fall for his plan, Lu Xun regretted it, but Lu Xun felt in his heart that with Mi Yang's intelligence, he should have been like this.

Originally, after saying this, Xu Sheng had nothing to say.

But in order to know everything, Xu Sheng gradually talked about Zhu Huan's performance at the Yongan banquet.

It was this talk that made Lu Xun, who was originally calm, raise his head suddenly.

"You mean, Hugh Mu spoke in public about me making him the governor of trouble?"

Xu Sheng couldn't understand why Lu Xun attached so much importance to this matter.

After all, although Zhu Huan's move is a bit Meng Lang, his character has always been like this, isn't it?

However, in the face of Lu Xun's inquiry, Xu Sheng nodded affirmatively.

After seeing Xu Sheng's nod, the brush in Lu Xun's hand fell straight to the ground.

"Zhu Huan, you bastard!"

Lu Xun, who has always had excellent cultivation, became angry in front of outsiders for the first time.
