Chapter 31 Insight and self-preservation

Sun Quan, the ruler of Eastern Wu, was proficient in the art of checks and balances.

He is very good at balancing the various complex factions in Jiangdong.

And his unique checks and balances.

The surface is gentle, but behind the scenes, I don't know how much blood is stained!

In order to achieve an absolute balance, Sun Quan has always been in the choice of weakening, maintaining and supporting the three factions within Jiangdong.

But Lu Xun is the most transparent...

After the Battle of Chibi, someone's power was too strong, the so-called - "Meritorious Shock!" ”

The "Huaisi Expedition" faction led by Zhou Yu of Sun Ce's old department... It should be weakened.

The Jiangdong faction headed by the local clans "Gu, Lu, Zhu, and Zhang" should also be supported and strengthened to check and balance the "Huaisi" faction.

As for the one in the middle, it is a branch of the Huaisi faction, the "Huaisi Liuyu faction" headed by Lu Su and Zhuge Jin!

The so-called three-legged stand!

The big "Three Kingdoms" stand on their feet!

But within each country, isn't it mixed with the "small three countries"?

Aren't these small three countries standing on their feet and checking and balancing each other?

As for Zhou Yu's betrayal.

Not betrayal in the broadest sense of the word.

At that time, it was rumored throughout the Han Dynasty that Yizhou was going to produce a son of heaven and Wu Yi's sister to be the queen.

At that time, Zhou Yu gave up the confrontation with Cao Cao in Nanjun and proposed to go west to Bashu.

Bashu and Jiangdong are thousands of miles away, Zhou Yu led his troops in, can Sun Quan still control it?

After that...

Sun Quan's eyes obviously dodged a few times, but soon, he turned back into the majestic Eastern Wu Lord.

"Bo Yan laughed, when my brother died, he told me that Zhang Zhao was undecided about internal affairs, and Zhou Yu was undecided about foreign affairs. As for Gong Jin's death, he is alone! ”

Having said that, it was obvious that Sun Quan's eyes when he looked at Lu Xun had changed, and he had become a lot more friendly.

It seems that he has restored his trust in Lu Xun, and in addition to this trust, there is another surprise.

"Bo Yan should step back first!"

"Yui!" Lu Xun surrendered.

When he was far away, Sun Quan's son Sun Deng walked out from behind the curtain.

Sun Quan sighed at him: "Except for loneliness, I can't imagine that Lu Boyan has become the most transparent one!" ”

Sun Deng's eyes were scorching, and he said with emotion: "Yes, my father has another handsome talent who can be used." ”

Handsome?

Hearing this word, Sun Quan narrowed his eyes, "After all, this handsome is too young!" ”

Sun Deng nodded first, then shook his head, he looked at the map hanging high in the palace, and his gaze was in the direction of Jingzhou, "Guan Yunchang is unparalleled in martial arts, if you talk about weakness, you are only too proud?" If it were Lu Zijing and Lu Ziming, he would be more or less guarded, but if it was Lu Boyan, then... Perhaps..."

"Perhaps?"

"Guan Yunchang will definitely not take such a young general as Lu Xun in his eyes, maybe at some point in the future, Bo Yan will be able to make a miraculous contribution to his father!"

I heard that my son admired Lu Xun so much.

Sun Quan said with emotion: "It seems that Wu'er is very optimistic about Lu Boyan..."

Sun Deng bowed his head, "Only now, Cao Cao's ministers are like clouds, Liu Bei has Zhuge Liang under his command, and his father's Lu Su and Zhang Zhao are also humerus talents, but what about looking back?" In another ten, twenty, thirty years, who else can Cao Cao use? Who else can Liu Bei use? Does Guan Yu have any useful strategists? ”

Sun Deng's words attracted Sun Quan's praise, "My son sees far!" ”

Speaking of this, Sun Quan instructed: "It is imperative to send a letter to Jiangling, so that Ziyu (Zhuge Jin) can pay close attention to the movements of Jiangling, as for Lu Meng's side in Jingnan, continue to hold his troops still, this time, he Guan Yunchang will not move, and he will not move!" Wait for him to make the first move! ”

This...

Sun Deng added, "What about Hefei? ”

Sun Quan's tone was firm, "Don't move!" ”

Gangneung Castle, inside the post house.

Zhuge Jin was wearing Yanju civilian clothes, and wrote a few big words with a heavy heart:

- Ge Sheng Mengchu, vines in the wild.

- Ge Sheng is covered with thorns, and he is in the domain.

Zhuge Ke, the son of Jiangling who came to Jiangling for the first time, commented by his side, "Ge vines grow and thorns, and grass spreads in the cemetery... My father is chanting the "Ge Sheng" article in "The Book of Songs: National Style", but doesn't my father like this kind of "Xing, Bi, Fu" articles at the same time? ”

Zhuge Jin shook his head with a smile, "Only in the kudzu vine can yellow wattles grow, and wild grapes can grow in the desolate tombs, what a good 'endowment, comparison, and xing', but the tiger father has no dogs, how... Is this Guan Gong's son crooked? ”

Mentioning this, Zhuge Ke understands that the "Ge Sheng" written by his father is related to the topic that everyone has been talking about in the streets and alleys of Jiangling City recently.

It's been two days... Guan Yu's fourth son, Guan Lin and Guan Yunqi, openly confronted Guan Gong, and in front of everyone, he proposed to ask his father to make a "guilty letter"!

This kind of news was not unpleasant in ancient times.

It seems that it has become a topic of conversation in the entire Jiangling City, and countless people who eat melons are looking forward to the development of the situation.

Zhuge Ke sighed with emotion: "A son of man, even if he is smart and witty, he can't be arrogant and conceited in front of his father!" But..."

Zhuge Ke paused for a moment and continued: "It's outrageous that this Guan Lin is so unfilial, but Guan Yu didn't punish him, and the child can't understand this." ”

In Jiangdong, Zhuge Ke was known as a "prodigy", smart and clever.

Studying with Gu Tan, Zhang Xiu and others, Sun Deng, the eldest son who often accompanied Sun Quan, can be regarded as the companion of the son from childhood to adulthood.

Many times, the question that Sun Deng wondered about was that Zhuge Ke gave him guidance.

This time, I was waiting for my father in Gangneung, and I specially went out of Jiangdong to follow my father to see the world.

I didn't think about it, but it really opened my eyes.

As soon as I arrived in Jiangling, I heard that Guan Lin and his father Guan Yu were fighting each other in the public and in the military camp and school.

As for why Guan Yu didn't punish him... Zhuge Ke didn't understand it, but Zhuge Jin understood it a little.

"Yuan Xun (Zhuge Ke) can I hear, why is this Guan family father and son arguing?"

"It seems to be a test of martial arts? Test martial arts with wolves! ”

"No!" Zhuge Jin lightly touched his son's forehead with a pen, "Where have you learned what your father taught you 'clear insight and wisdom to protect yourself'?" ”

"You can't just look at things on the surface, you have to look at the inside, such as... The reason for the dispute between the father and son of the Guan family is that Guan Lin does not know martial arts, but he can take the first place in the martial arts examination, Guan Yunchang is unparalleled in martial arts, how can such a martial artist allow his children not to learn martial arts? ”

"As for why this Guan Yunchang didn't punish Guan Lin, it's because of his 'literary talent'!"

"Wencai?" Zhuge Ke hurriedly asked.

Zhuge Jin bowed his head, "In the face of injustice, he can react quickly, and attack Guan Yu with the violence of the tiger and wolf in Jingzhou Nanjun a hundred years ago, and deduce the 'hunting ban' and 'guilty book', this son is still somewhat capable, but after all, like his father, he is trapped by the word 'proud', the so-called arrogant soldiers are undefeated, and this pair of fathers and sons will have to plant their heads on this sooner or later!" ”

Zhuge Ke groaned...

He is actually quite proud, could it be that he will also have to make a mistake in the word arrogant sooner or later?

Just as I was muttering in my heart.

A servant came in to give the report. "Master, it's been found out, Jiangdong attacked Jingnan... The person who spread the news to the beggars was... It is Guan Yu's fourth son - Guan Lin! ”

Close... Guan Lin?

As soon as this name came out, Zhuge Jin was stunned.

Zhuge Ke also hurriedly raised his head.

For a moment, the eyes of the two of them turned sharply in unison, and they both became suspicious.

Zhuge Ke pondered, why is there this Guan Lin everywhere?

Zhuge Jin was sure with his eyes, and he groaned urgently:

- "Not good! ”

- "I... I'm fooled! ”
