Chapter 246: To live or to perish, this is an eternal problem
There is a saying in "Mozi":
ββThe ancients ruled the world, the south stroked Jiaozhi, the north descended to Youzhou, and the east and west were in and out of the day.
In Mozi's view, Jiaozhi was already the southernmost point when Yao ruled the world!
Having said that, today's Lu Xun has captured Nanhai County and Cangwu County in Jiaozhou, and from this so-called "southernmost point" Jiaozhi, only the three counties of "Yulin", "Hepu" and "Gaoliang" remain.
It's hard to get started...
In addition, these three counties are not garrisoned by male soldiers and good generals.
It stands to reason that Jiaozhou, which has now been hit by the Lu Jiajun, can go straight to the ground and fall in one fell swoop, which should have been an extremely easy thing.
It was for this reason that Sun Quan ordered LΓΌ Meng to take over the "South China Sea" and "Cangwu".
Lu Jiajun continued his westward expedition, and in order to let Lu Xun prove his innocence, it was not difficult for him to fight Jiaozhi within a month.
Can... However, in the middle... It's a mess.
The appearance of a name and the appearance of a person make Lu Xun and Lu Jiajun "in a dilemma" at this moment!
β¦
At the junction of Cangwu and Yulin counties, 30,000 Lu family troops all marched here, posing for a posture of attacking Yulin westward at any time.
The sun is setting again, the river is flashing with sparkling golden light, in front of the camp are neatly lined up soldiers, Lu Xun and Sun Ru are all draped, and the big battle is imminent.
From time to time, there was a crisp sound of Yue Qu in the mountains.
- "Tonight, the night is in the middle of the boat." Today, I have to be in the same boat with the prince. β
- "Shame is good, not shameful." The heart was annoyed and unstoppable, and learned that the prince. β
- "The mountains have trees and branches, and the heart is happy, and the king does not know." β
Because there are a large number of "Yangyue people" living in Jiaozhou, you can always hear such a Yue song in the mountains from time to time, and such a cheerful repertoire also indicates that Yulin County has no protection.
Lu Jiajun is far away from breaking through Yulin... Only Lu Xun's order remained!
It's just that...
Listening to this Yue song, Lu Xun looked at the sunset worriedly, and said with emotion: "What a song of the Yue people... In the Spring and Autumn Period, the deep and sincere love of the Yue women for 'Zihui'! β
Sun Ru whispered, "Bo Yan, now is not the time to listen to music... When General LΓΌ Meng took over the two counties of Nanhai and Cangwu, he mentioned that he wanted us to fight within a month. β
Ahem β
Sun Ru's words made Lu Xun cough in the autumn wind, and when the coughing stopped, Lu Xun muttered, "Now that Gongji (Lu Ji) has been captured by the Jiaozhi family, they have already sent someone to pass the word over, if the Lu family army dares to attack Yulin, they will take the Gongji sacrifice flag, this matter... It's already in Jiaozhou, and it's also in the Lu family's army..."
"Ahem... Ahem... If... If I give the order to attack Yulin again, then Gongji will die because of me! β
Lu Xun's tone was a little sad.
"When did Bo Yan care so much about your young uncle?"
Sun Ru asked.
Lu Xun frowned, "Madam, you must know that Gongji is the son of his grandfather Lu Kang, he is the patriarch of the Lu family in Wu County, he has been sent to Cangwu by Wu Hou over the years, which is why I am temporarily acting as the patriarch, if I don't care about his life and death, and I am forward, then how can I Lu Xun deal with myself in the Lu family?" How can the people of the Lu family still support me! Even... Even my men will betray me! β
As Lu Xun said, although there are a large number of recovered Shanyue people among his soldiers and horses, the Lu family's clansmen still occupy the most central position, besides... When the expedition is out, the Lu family also needs a steady supply of grain, grass, and ordnance.
The core of the Lu family army is the Lu family, one of the four major families of "Wu County", and it is by no means a mountain Yue!
But what's going on...
The Lu family's "true patriarch" Lu Ji was born, and the scholars threatened him... So that Lu Xun did not dare to continue the offensive at all.
If he takes one wrong step, he will become a sinner of the Lu family.
- What a thousand people are referring to!
Can... But now in this situation, don't attack?
That Wu Hou's suspicion... Even worse!
And also... And that one-month time limit.
The ghost knows, if he hadn't hit Jiaozhi, Wu Hou would have done something "crazy".
And the most, most, most, most important point is that he Lu Xun is the only one who knows Wu Hou's thoughts, knows Wu Hou's ruthlessness and viciousness...
But even if these are said, no one will believe them.
"Ahem, ahemβ"
For a while, Lu Xun coughed violently again, and he heard that Lu Ji was in the hands of Jiaozhou Shixie.
Lu Xun is sick... The cough doesn't stop.
Sun Ru hurriedly took the cloak held by his own soldiers and put it on Lu Xun, adding a little dazed and helpless to his tone.
She muttered, "Bo Yanβ"
Lu Xun continued to whisper: "It's winter... Meng Dong is cold, and the north wind is miserable. I know how long the night is, and I look up at the stars..."
The word "sorrow" made Lu Xun emphasized.
And Lu Xun's state of mind became more and more desolate and pathetic.
Sun Ruyou remembers that the last time... The husband sighed so much, or when she first came here, her husband's worries.
At that time, the husband sighed - "The autumn wind is blowing, the white clouds are flying, the grass and trees are yellow, and the geese are returning to the south... The flute drums are singing and singing, and there is a lot of joy and sorrow. β
The same sad words...
But in the end, although the "autumn sorrow" chanted at that time was bleak, it was always full of hope.
But this time... In the poem recited by her husband, Sun Ru could only feel that her husband's heart seemed to fall into a dark night, and she didn't feel the slightest light!
On the other hand... At this moment, Lu Xun, he was holding his chest with one hand, and his eyes were at a loss.
- "Attack or retreat?"
- "The Lu family or the Marquis of Wu?"
- "To survive or to perish, this is a question for the ages!"
β¦

People say that sickness goes like a thread...
It seems that this sentence does not apply to Lingju who has practiced martial arts since childhood.
After a day and a night's rest, Lingju can already get out of bed, and walk like flying in the courtyard to practice body methods and hidden weapons, and the Diao Chan in the house is playing "Su Wu Shepherd":
- "Thirsty for snow, hungry for felt, shepherding sheep on the north seashore." With Han Sheji in mind, the fall has not yet been returned. β
It seems that because her daughter is by her side, the sound of the piano is becoming more and more intense.
But it was as if there was something in his heart, but the strings broke because he was too hard, and Lingju's martial arts training also stopped abruptly with the strings breaking.
Diao Chan picked up the strings abruptly and sighed, "What's the matter? With her daughter by her side, she couldn't even play this song "Su Wu Shepherd". β
Lingju didn't mind, "This song played by my mother is very good... But why "Su Wu Shepherd"? I know this song, it was Su Wu who was trapped outside the Saiwai, but he didn't forget to return home... The piano is born from the heart, the sound is especially heart-to-heart, and my mother specially played this song, thinking of a reminder in my heart, I can't forget to repay my kindness, right? β
After listening to Lingju's analysis, Diao Chan laughed at himself and replied: "You thought of a song "Su Wu Shepherd" by you here, I knew that I should play a song "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix", do you think that your mother is urging you to find a wishful husband?" β
Lingju pouted, she enjoyed the feeling of being by her mother's side, "What did my mother say?" Let's talk about repaying the favor first! β
As he spoke, Lingju pulled Diao Chan and walked back to the house.
As he walked, he said, "Mother, my daughter has an idea..."
"What?"
"Mother is alive, that daughter's hatred of General Guan is a misunderstanding, the father and son of the Guan family are the benefactors of the mother, and the daughter should repay the kindness, but the father's death can't be counted like this, the Cao thief in the north killed his father on the White Gate Tower, and he is still the enemy's daughter! This enemy is still alive... Live well! β
In just an instant, Lingju completed the transformation from a little girl who relied on her mother to a female killer who was determined to avenge her father.
"Ju'er, what are you going to do?"
Like every mother, Diao Chan's eyes were full of worry when she looked at Lingju.
Lingju seemed to have made a decision, "My enemy and my mother are the Cao thief, and the enemy of General Guan and Yunqi Gongzi is also the Cao thief, and my daughter decided to join General Guan with the 'parrot'... Or the cloud flag boy's side, the same enemy, fight side by side with them! Let's go to crusade and clear out that thief? β
"You?"
Diao Chan subconsciously chanted the word "you".
It seems that Diao Chan feels that her daughter is a little exaggerated, she is just a little woman, how can she help General Guan, and how can she help Yunqi?
"Mother, don't underestimate me..."Lingju patted his flat chest, "My daughter's 'parrot' started in Luoyang, but many cities and counties have 'parrot' killers, and these are my father's old departments, and they are excellent in martial arts, in addition to being proficient in assassination, they are also good at finding intelligence, and the most important thing is that they are all people that their daughters can trust... There is also Uncle Zang Ba, the lord of Langya Kingdom, his daughter must tell him that his mother is still alive, and if he knows, he will be very happy. β
Zang Ba is a righteous person...
He didn't know Lu Bu if he didn't fight, and he married Jin Lan, and since then he has regarded this brotherhood more than the sky.
This is also the reason why Zang Ba will steal out the Lingju, and secretly collect Lu Bu's old department, hide in Luoyang in the ruins, and then help the Lingju form a parrot, and secretly support it.
Everything is a word of righteousness.
Now, knowing that the deceased brother and wife are still alive, how can Zang Ba not rejoice?
"That's not what I'm talking about... I'm worried about you..."
The more Lingju said, the more Diao Chan was worried, for fear that her daughter would be excited again, and directly take the crossbow of the cloud flag to the north to assassinate Cao Cao.
The daughter who was finally found, Diao Chan couldn't bear to watch her... Leave again.
"Mother, don't worry... I've not all been like this all these years. The corners of Lingju's mouth opened and a hearty smile appeared, "But before that... My daughter has to do one thing first! β
"What?" Diao Chan hurriedly asked.
Ling Ju smiled, "If you want to join General Guan and Yunqi's side, you always have to give a meeting gift, right?" Otherwise... Doesn't it prove that the daughter and the 'parrot' are very useless? β
Don't wait for Diao Chan to open his mouth and ask.
Lingju told his mother everything in one go, "In this Gangneung City, there are people... If you want to investigate the identity of Huang Laoxi, you want to harm Huang Laoxi? Now... Since the daughter already knows the identity of this old evil man, how can she let these bad people with ill intentions be punished? β
As he spoke, Lingju's smile became brighter and brighter, the kind of smile that was happy when he saw his mother, and the kind of excited smile when he found an ally who shared the same hatred, of course... There are also some small conspiracies and calculations against the enemy, which is a sly smile!
And a seat blurted out...
Lingju held her chin in her hand, and she murmured in her heart:
- "This... It must be a big fish, right?'
- "I just don't know if it's from the north!"
How did Lingju know that the big fish in her mouth was the two sons of Jiangdong's general Lu Meng!
- Eldest son Lu Cong;
- and Lu Meng's most beloved and brave second son, Lu Ba!
Lingju guessed right...
From this level, they are really two big fish!

Fu Shiren is a cheerful person, and he is also a person who has never met talents;
is a person who has never been recognized in his life.
Guan Lin was the first person to see his talent, the first to recognize him, and the first to put a title like "Wolong" on his head.
Just because of this...
The "brother" in Fu Shiren's mouth is no longer just talking.
Fu Shiren immediately proposed to marry Jin Lan with Mi Fang and Guan Linyi...
Mi Fang pondered, there is such a good thing, Fu Shiren's proposal is simply a little stone into gold... He hurriedly agreed.
Guan Lin was a little confused, he had a feeling of catching ducks on the shelves... It's even more like being coerced.
He's still a kid!
However, Fu Shiren and Mi Fang asked Guan Lin at the same time.
"Am I two unworthy?"
"Or is it that the two of us 'Wolong and Phoenix Chick' in Yunqi's mouth are just talking, bluffing the two of us to be happy?"
From Guan Lin's heart, it's a little unworthy...
If you follow the original trajectory of history, you two are the top ten famous villains in Chinese history!
Can... If you want to refuse, the atmosphere is here...
It's a bit embarrassing!
Guan Lin can't help but agree...
"Three people with one heart, loess can turn into gold, and the Wolong, phoenix chick in my mind... Can righteousness knot Jin Lan... Actually, I... I've had this intention for a long time, I just think I'm still young and unworthy...! β
With Guan Lin's promise.
The whole Mifu is in full swing to prepare.
Speaking of...
This righteous knot Jinlan, since Guan Yunchang's deeds of "being in Cao Ying's heart in Han" and "passing five passes and killing six generals" have spread all over the world.
Since then, Yijie Jinlan has stopped worshiping the "Jinlan Spectrum" and has changed to worship the statue of Guan Gong.
At this moment, in the backyard of the Mi family's mansion, among the winter chrysanthemums, there is chrysanthemum wine on the table, and a statue of Guan Gong is placed in front of the table.
With the sound of "pop", "pop".
Mi Fang, Fu Shiren, Guan Lin... They knelt on the futon.
- "I'm Fu Shiren, the word Junyi, a native of Guangyang County, Youzhou!" β
- "I'm Mi Fang, Zi Fang, a native of Qu County, Donghai County! β
- "I'm Guan Lin, Ziyunqi, Shanxi Yun... Ah no, Hedong Xie Liangren! β
Guan Lin stumbled slightly, but it didn't hurt.
Immediately afterwards, the three of them said in unison:
"Although the three of us have different surnames, we are willing to become brothers today, and from now on we will work together to help the needy; Report to the country, under An Lishu. The emperor and the queen of heaven, learn from this heart, betray righteousness and ingratitude, and kill heaven and man together! β
In this way, the approximate ritual is more than half completed.
After that, you need to bow three times.
Before the first bow, Fu Shiren took the lead and said: "I am the elder brother, this first worship, I and my brother Zifang and Brother Yunqi are proud to meet bosom friends in the spring breeze, and Yang Liu should be on the altar with a smile!" I wish the three of us brothers 'to serve the country, be generous, make meritorious contributions and show their talents'! β
Speaking of which, the three of them worshiped Guan Gong together.
Of course, Guan Lin felt that worshipping his father's stone statue was weird.
However, I heard Fu Shiren's words.
He muttered to himself.
- "It seems that this eldest brother Fu Shiren is educated? Not a pure warrior... Shouldn't you also read "Spring and Autumn"?"
At this moment, the three of them should bow down a second time.
Mi Fang is a businessman, he has no culture, and hurriedly said: "What Yunqi said is very good, this second worship, I will borrow flowers to offer Buddha, according to what Yunqi said, the three of us have one heart, loess can turn into gold, I wish our three brothers a fortune!" Make a great contribution! Make a fortune, make a fortune! β
For a while, Mi Fang's words were poor, and all she thought about was "making a fortune", or "making a fortune"!
The words fell, and the three of them bowed for the second time.
Guan Lin muttered in his heart...
Their combination, strictly speaking, is a Beijinger, a Lianyungang person, and a young Shanxi Yuncheng person!
This is a money-making squad;
It's also a partner of the end of the Han Dynasty!
It's good and powerful.
Immediately, Guan Lin bowed his hand: "This third worship is me, Brother Junyi, Second Brother Zifang, the three of us are loyal to the liver and courage, follow each other in adversity, swear not to separate, life and death will not change!" Heaven and earth, the sun and the moon are strong, our brotherly feelings! β
Guan Lin is about to sing!
The three of them are bowing again!
At last...
"Don't ask to be born on the same day, the same month, the same year!" Fu Shiren said: "But please ask for the same year and the same month..."
Suddenly speaking of this, he paused, "Yun Qi is so young, if he was born on the same day and month in the same year, forget it, Zifang, we can't let Yun Qi accompany the two of us!" β
Mi Fang came back to his senses, "Hahaha", he immediately laughed.
"I think so too!"
After this series of rituals was completed, Guan Lin inexplicably had two more "Chinese villains" as brothers, and he suddenly felt that the burden on his shoulders was heavier.
Fu Shiren said seriously: "Third brother, your head is the most active, how to do this trade?" How to fight in business... You just have to instruct, the eldest brother wants people here, land and land, money and money, doesn't he want to increase production? There is no land in Gangneung, it doesn't matter, there is land in the public security city... As long as the third brother says how much to use, he will arrange it for the brother immediately! Also, the third brother is about to go to Jiangxia, if there are not enough people, there are still thousands of parts here for the brother, and thousands of people will be selected to give to the third brother, no problem! β
Fu Shiren really regards Guan Lin as a brother.
And with Fu Shiren's impassioned words...
Guan Lin realized that a person who has not been recognized in his life will really be recognized one day and guide him to a way to stand up.
- He can give you his life!
"Big brother... Second brother..."Guan Lin also quickly adapted to his identity, "Our three brothers, the main focus is 'counterattack', and the main focus is that one day, those who look down on us will be shocked by their jaws!" β
Speaking of this, Guan Lin actually felt a little hungry, "Second brother, let's eat something first, this business war, trade war, tonight, let's discuss one by one, one by one... How to layout, how to open up, how to exchange money for iron, and how to exchange iron for ground, let's make a big strategy tonight! β
"Okay..."Fu Shiren didn't mention how energetic he was, he cared more about this opportunity to rise against the wind than money, "We either don't do this business, or if we want to do it, we will be a blockbuster!" β
Guan Lin continued: "There is also the matter of the second brother's new city, which will also be discussed tonight... Two new cities must be built that are harder than steel! Our business is in full swing, but we can't let our hometown be served! β
Speaking of this, Guan Lin sighed:
"In another five years, let that Cao Cao, let my uncle, and let my father open their eyes to see who has the final say in the world at that time!"
In these words.
Guan Lin didn't mean that the three of them had the final say.
But... Money counts!
It's the goods that have the final say!
It's business that has the final say!
It's the same as in later generations, when an empire controls the entire global economy, it can do whatever it wants!
What a profound and painful realization!
On the other hand, Fu Shiren and Mi Fang were infected by Guan Lin's words.
Fu Shiren said with emotion.
"The third brother dares to make such a threat, so I can rest assured for my brother."
Mi Fang didn't know what to say, so she could only sigh.
"I, I'm the same!"
β¦

Fancheng, among the government offices.
It's already the middle of the night, Cao Cao can't sleep, he is still sitting on the desk, rubbing his aching forehead with one hand, while still thinking deeply.
A beautiful woman stood behind Cao Cao distressedly and helped Cao Cao gently rub her temples.
Cheng Yu hurried over...
He was summoned in the middle of the night.
As soon as he arrived here, Cao Cao handed him the bamboo slips of the "Nine Rank Officials Law" and the "Conscription of Widows and Distribution of Military Households" proposed by Cao Pi and Cao Zhi respectively.
Cheng Yu only watched shockingly...
The original predicament dissipated without a trace in time!
And these two proposals, one is to completely replace the 400-year-old inspection system and compromise with the clan;
First, in order to boost the morale of the three armed forces, we have established a system that will bring out thousands of generations and military households will be far from endless.
No matter which one it is, in Cheng Yu's opinion, it is enough to solve the unfavorable situation today.
It's just that...
"How?" Cao Cao asked at the right time.
Cheng Yu arched his hand and said: "The minister dared to ask the prime minister, why did the minister choose to see these two proposals?" The minister did not dare to speculate on the meaning of the prime minister, but if he did not know the meaning of the prime minister, the minister did not dare to speak. β
"Hahahaha..."
Cheng Yu's worry provoked Cao Cao to laugh, his tiger eyes opened slightly, and he motioned to the beauty beside him to ask her to stand down...
Only Cao Cao and Cheng Yu were left in this bed.
Cao Cao got up slowly, "Lone knows, the position of the son of my Great Wei, the Manchu Dynasty has a lot of hearts and many supporters... But you are the only Cheng Zhongde, you have never met Zihuan in private, nor have you ever met Zijian, you are the most loyal to Lonely! β
Speaking of which, Cao Cao raised his eyebrows...
His eyes were gloomy, and his tone was low: "And these two proposals, if those Yuzhou scholars are allowed to choose, they will definitely choose Zihuan's "Nine Grades Zhongzheng System", and if they let the Qian Pei clan choose, they will definitely choose Zijian's one!" You're the only one... Zhongde, you are beyond them, the word 'day' in your name is given by loneliness, you are the sun of loneliness! β
"Elect, choose fairly, Zihuan? Or Zijian? β
