Today, the sky above Guangxin City, Cangwu County, is covered with dark clouds, and the wind is blowing.

The rain became heavier and heavier, raging.

The dark clouds rolled and galloped, coming from all directions, piling up in stacks and stacks, getting denser and denser, like thousands of horses pressing down on the roof.

This oppression also brought extra gloom and heaviness to the atmosphere in the room.

This is the third time that Lu Xun and his wife have sat in the wing room with his "brother-in-law" Sun Shao and Tai Shici's son Tai Shixiang.

Four square bamboo mats, four schemes...

The faces of the four were also completely different.

This is also the third time, Lu Xun and they are talking around that extremely sensitive topic, which is a secret that is sealed in the depths of Jiangdong and cannot be approached.

Both - the truth of the death of "Sun Ce", "Zhou Yu", and "Tai Shici"...

Even by extension, it is the truth that Sun Quan succeeded to the throne for ten years, and the eight important ministers who were either killed or imprisoned, and they fell or deposed!

Considering that listening to Lu Xun, it was Sun Shao, Tai Shixiang, and his wife Sun Ru that the topic was extremely sensitive.

And often in Soochow, those who are involved in these, or know some rumors, are often silent about this topic and are tight-lipped like a bottle!

Yesterday and the day before yesterday, Lu Xun was the same, still hesitating... There is no confession of the truth of everything.

But today, he completely figured it out.

It doesn't make the slightest sense for him to stick to these truths.

From the moment he broke with Sun Quan, this truth was destined to surface.

Regarding Sun Ce's death, the official version is that he was assassinated by Xu Gong Sanmenke;

And the deaths of Zhou Yu and Tai Shici, the official version is the same - died of illness;

But in fact...

The assassination is not fake, and the death of illness is not fake, but this process is full of ghost tricks, conspiracies and calculations...

The source of all this has to start from the Jiangdong Xiaooverlord Sun Ce and Sun Bofu, who were still working for Yuan Shu, to attack Lujiang County.

Not to mention, the Taishou of Lujiang is Lu Kang of the third room of the Lu family, and Sun Ce captured Lujiang and killed half of the Lu family.

Just talking about the so-called trophies after the breakthrough of Lujiang, including Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao in Lujiang and Anhui County!

The world only knows that there are two Qiao in Jiangdong and Zhen Miqiao in Hebei.

knew that after breaking through the Lujiang River, Sun Ce, who was "beautiful", and Zhou Yu, who was "beautiful Zhoulang", accepted Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao as concubines, but few people knew that at that time, Sun Ce, who was a favorite brother and a mad demon, also called the shots, and selected the most beautiful "foot trainer" in the "trophies" and brought them to Jiangdong, and Xu was married to Sun Quan.

In his early years, Sun Quan didn't like the original Mrs. Xie, so he was very fortunate to be a step trainer and loved him very much.

All the stories have to start from the fall of Lujiang, starting from Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, and Sun Quan respectively accepting Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao, and step trainers.

After marriage, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu soon devoted themselves to the conquest of Jiangdong.

It is no exaggeration to say that in order to get rid of Yuan Shu's control, Sun Ce spared no effort, and the entire six counties of Jiangdong were fought by him and Huaisi's civil and military forces with a knife and a gun, and their hands were stained with the blood of the major clans in Jiangdong.

The major families surrendered on the surface, but the hatred in their hearts did not disappear.

But Sun Ce never cared about this, he just wanted to use domineering and bravery to make these big families completely surrender and keep his mouth shut forever.

Merely...

At that time, Sun Quan had already seen the hidden danger of such a bloody suppression by his eldest brother...

Hatred cannot be suppressed by hegemony at all, hatred will penetrate deep into the soil like roots... And then there was even greater hatred!

So, for the foundation of the Sun family, Sun Quan began to contact these families in Eastern Wu at the age of fifteen.

Whenever Sun Ce and these big clans were on the same page, it was Sun Quan who came forward to talk about peace...

Sun Quan will always be able to come up with a mutually acceptable solution.

Gradually, these great clans of Soochow began to speak.

- Even if it is destined to be the Sun family to rule Jiangdong, they prefer that Sun Quan will rule.

It's easy to understand.

If Sun Ce's powerful faction, those Huaisi people are invaders, then Sun Quan is more like a person who can maintain the stability of Jiangdong, a person who can consider and weigh from the perspective of these big clans, and a person who can check and balance them and satisfy all forces!

Of course, Sun Quan only listened to these words and didn't take them seriously.

Next, three major events happened in Eastern Wu, to be precise, it was Sun Ce who killed three important people despite the persuasion of the big clan, the civil and military, and the common people...

One is Xu Gong, who is in Wu Ying, and his heart is in Cao;

the second is the demagogic Taoist Yu Ji;

the third is Gao Dai, a hermit in Yuyao, Jiangdong;

Xu Gong's death was because he secretly communicated with Cao Cao, and his letter to the court was intercepted by Sun Ce;

Yu Ji's death lies in his inciting the people and demagoguery;

Gao Dai's death was because Sun Ce felt that this person looked down on him!

Speaking of this, Lu Xun began to shake his head, it was obvious that there was a huge hidden secret.

He changed his words and spoke in a serious tone: "Xu Gong, Yu Ji, Gao Dai... It seems that the cause of death is clear, but in fact... At that time, the big families of Eastern Wu, including our Lu family, had already begun to plot to get rid of Sun Ce... Support Sun Quan to ascend to the throne! ”

Oh, yes...

Xu Gong sent a letter to Cao Cao, saying that Sun Ce was brave enough to crown the world, and if he allowed his power to grow, it would eventually become a big disaster...

It was even proposed that Cao Cao summon Sun Ce to Beijing by the emperor's order, and once Sun Ce disobeyed, it would be equivalent to resisting the order.

There will be warlords and generals in Jiangdong who will rebel against Sun Ce on the orders of the emperor, and Jiangdong, which has been unified by Sun Ce, will fall back into a divided situation at that time, and Cao Cao can benefit from it.

I have to say that Xu Gong's letter is a poisonous plan...

But on the contrary, why did this watch fall into Sun Ce's hands?

Why is it so careless, so coincidental?

This is because it was the big clan of Wu County who leaked the matter of this "performance" after getting the news, and they made a game, that is, to force Sun Ce to kill the famous man Xu Gong!

Let Sun Ce chill the hearts of all Jiangdong celebrities.

As for Yu Ji, inciting the people and demagoguery...

It's not a matter of one day or two.

During the Yellow Turban Uprising, Yu Ji preached in Jiangdong, although he was not a Yellow Turban Army, but it was not bad... It's been more than ten years, and you're still doing it in Jiangdong as always? And supported by all the people?

Why did you suddenly hit Sun Ce's gun?

This is also a game jointly arranged by the four major families, allowing Sun Ce to kill Yu Ji, and making Sun Ce and Huaisi's expedition completely lose the support of the people.

There is also a celebrity Gao Dai, which is even more coincidental.

There is a clear record in the history books that someone deliberately created a misunderstanding between him and Sun Ce.

first told Sun Ce, "Gao Dai thinks that you are more than heroic and lacking in literary talent, you tell him about "Zuo Chuan", if he answers that he doesn't understand, he looks down on you!" ”

He also said to Gao Dai that Sun Ce is a human being, and he doesn't like others to surpass him the most. If he asks you about "Zuo Chuan", you will say that you don't know, which is what he wants. If it's hard to argue with him, it's dangerous! ”

So, Sun Ce and Gao Dai discussed "Zuo Chuan", and Gao Dai replied again and again that he didn't know and didn't understand.

Sun Ce thought that Gao Dai looked down on him, so he was angry and first arrested him, and then killed him!

Everything is a conspiracy and calculation!

"Alas...," Lu Xun let out a long sigh, "a famous celebrity, a Taoist who is loved by the people, and a respected hermit, their death is enough to set off the condemnation of Sun Ce and the Huaisi conquest of the civil and military forces... Next, capture the thief and capture the king, and all that is left is to get rid of Sun Ce! ”

"So, the four major families of Wu County, 'Gu, Lu, Zhu, and Zhang', and the four major families of Huiji, 'Yu, Wei, Kong, and Xie' joined forces to formulate a plan, and we relied on our relationship with Sun Quan to fake Sun Quan... Let him reveal Sun Ce's marching route, and ask Sun Quan to send a letter to Sun Ce to make an appointment to leave alone in the suburbs......"

Speaking of this, Sun Shao hurriedly asked: "Sun Quan is his father's younger brother, blood is thicker than water, so he harms his brother like this, will he do what you family members say?" ”

Sun Shao and Tai Shixiang had never heard of this, even Sun Ru, she didn't know that there were so many hidden secrets about her father's death.

It is true that Sun Ru is in some pain, because of her father's death, her husband Lu Xun's hands are also stained with blood.

But she knew better that when her father was conquering Eastern Wu in the past, countless big clans were slaughtered by her father, and even half of Boyan's clansmen died at the hands of her father.

Bo Yan is also involuntarily, and the four major families of Wu County, at that time, the patriarch of the Lu family, Lu Jixin, died, and the Lu family was broken in half, and Bo Yan is so young, what qualifications does he have to dominate all this?

Lu Xun said lightly: "Yes!" Because, the four major families of Wu County controlled the foot trainers, and the foot trainers at that time were still pregnant with children... In addition, what the four major families of Wu County told Sun Quan was not to assassinate Sun Ce, but to ask Sun Quan to make an appointment with Sun Ce for them, meet and have a good chat, and resolve the hatred between the Sun family and the major clans... Of course, this is just lip service and bluffing to deceive that Sun Quan! ”

Sun Shao's left hand was held on his right wrist, and his expression was quite calm, but his face was pale and he was gasping heavily.

Tai Shixiang is still the usual appearance, indifferent and cold, there is no wave in his eyes, and he didn't even forget to add a sentence.

"At that time, Sun Zhongmou had already mingled with the four major families, had his own forces, and had his own support, if he didn't know the intentions of the four major families at all, if he didn't have the slightest intention of harming his brother, I Tai Shixiang would definitely not believe it."

"Anyway..."Lu Xun raised the teacup, his voice came through the already cold tea, "In short, Sun Ce was assassinated, and he was assassinated by Xu Gong Sanmenke, but in the middle, including our Lu family, the four major families of Wu County are involved... Since then, Sun Quan has become the leader of the major families in Wu County, and has become the general of the tens of thousands of Sun family troops..."

At this point, Lu Xun paused, he groaned deeply, and then continued.

"It's this Sun Quan, he has always had some kind of agreement with the four major families of Wu County and the four major families of Huiji, this agreement is not a contract on paper, it is more like an unwritten agreement, or rather, it is to exchange some people's lives for the unsparing support of our big clans for his Sun Quan!"

"And this agreement is to bloodied those people who once followed Sun Ce and had the blood of the Jiangdong clan on their hands!"

With Lu Xun's words, he blurted out.

Sun Shao, Sun Ru, and Tai Shixiang were stunned.

At this time, because the night wind outside the window was too strong, the candle flame in the house was extinguished, and the wings of the night covered the place, bringing the ultimate "darkness" and "quiet".

Wait for Lu Xun to light the candle again...

Sun Shao, Sun Ru, and Tai Shixiang all seem to have understood.

Oh, yes...

Whether it is Sun Quan's cousin and father-in-law Xu Kun, or his uncle Wu Jing;

Whether it is Sun Quan's third brother Sun Yi, or Tai Shici, who rules the entire southern part of Yangzhou;

Whether it is his lobby brother Sun Ben, or Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin, who became famous in the Battle of Chibi, or Cheng Pu, who was inexplicably seized of military power and placed in Jiangxia south of the Yangtze River... and the second cousin Sun Fu who exchanged letters with Cao Cao!

Why did they die? Why was he deposed? Why is it out?

This is because they have all bloodily suppressed the Eastern Wu clan together with Sun Ce, and their hands are stained with the blood of these clans!

Sun Ru tried not to associate her father's death with Bo Yan, she just said lightly.

"No wonder, at that time, Zhang Zhao and Zhang Changshi supported the third uncle Sun Yi as the leader of Jiangdong... He also said that the third uncle is more like his father, it seems that he is not like his father, but the faction supported by the third uncle is the same as his father! No wonder, since Sun Quan succeeded to the throne, his mother and younger brother were sent to Jiaozhou and imprisoned... No wonder there has been so much turmoil in Jiangdong in the past ten years, and so many people have died! ”

With Sun Ru's words, Sun Shao and Tai Shixiang's eyes condensed deeply.

Lu Xun's words, just as they have always believed, those "generals" and "important ministers" were really killed by Sun Quan.

As for the reason...

Sun Quan was completely different from his brother Sun Ce, who attacked Jiangdong by relying on the blood of those great families on his hands.

But the stability of Sun Quan's position relied on the support of these big families in Eastern Wu.

It's a stark difference at the strategic level.

And these big families, after they gained power, did not forget about hatred.

Sun Quan's agreement with them speaks for itself.

- They can accept Sun Quan and the Huaisi people in power.

- but they can't forgive those Huaisi people who once had their hands stained with the blood of their people and bloodily suppressed them for surviving in this world!

"I finally know..."Tai Shixiang sighed with emotion: "It's also the Huaisi faction... Why should it be divided into the Huaisi expedition faction headed by Zhou Yu and the Huaisi Liuyu faction headed by Lu Su... The difference between them lies in whether they are stained with the blood of the Jiangdong family! ”

Lu Xun nodded and agreed with Tai Shixiang's words.

Actually, there's no need to say anything more.

From the motives, from the support from behind, from the factional struggles, from the checks and balances...

From all dimensions, it can be determined that "these people" died at the hands of Sun Quan.

"Two days ago, I haven't told you all these truths, because..."Lu Xun's eyes turned to Sun Ru, "My Lu Xun's hands, or the hands of the Lu clan of Wu County, are not clean, I am worried that after I tell the truth, my wife will have a prejudice against me!" ”

"It's not your fault..."Before Lu Xun finished speaking, Sun Ru interrupted: "At that time, I didn't marry Bo Yan, and Bo Yan was only the acting patriarch of the Lu family, and he was still young... Besides, my father also killed more than half of the Lu family... At the level of the four major families, Bo Yan can't change anything. ”

Sun Ru's words moved Lu Xun for a while, he pondered for a moment before he opened his mouth and said: "If it weren't for that Sun Quan who instructed Lu Meng to stab me in the back, then I would only bury this secret in my heart forever, no matter how coercive and tempting I am... But now..."

"I see... I see..."Sun Shao's emotions were already a little excited.

He took Lu Xun's words completely in his mind and repeated them.

I see!

Now everything is understood, and all doubts are solved.

Sun Shao raised his head to meet Lu Xun's somewhat tired gaze, and he asked: "Brother-in-law, I want to thank you, for my mother, for my sister, and for all the people of Jiangdong, for you who let this truth surface... Let that Sun Quan's shameless behavior surface! ”

Speaking of this, Sun Shao's tone became a little more serious.

"As my sister said, this has nothing to do with you, our enemy is only that Sun Quan, it was he who chose to kill and depose those brothers who followed his father, it was he who completely stained the blood of Eastern Wu red, and it was he who chose to curry favor with the family of Wu County, all the killings... If there is a person who is responsible, who bears the resentment of us, who deserves to die... That... That must be this Sun Quan! ”

Sun Shao said...

Tai Shixiang nodded heavily, he didn't speak, but his expression and movements have shown that he is determined to continue on the road of destroying "Sun Quan"!

Of course, Lu Xun understood their determination, he got up slowly, stared at Sun Ru deeply, and then walked to the window to look at the dark sky.

He still has something in his heart... But enough has been said today.

"What is my brother-in-law going to do next? As... Join us Hongyan and let's go together to overthrow the rule of Sun Quan! Let the wicked have evil retribution! ”

Sun Shao suddenly proposed.

"-Hongyan?"

Lu Xun hesitated for a moment, but shook his head deeply, "Listen to my advice, Sun Quan may not be good at commanding troops, but his scheming, his scheming skills, his methods of checks and balances, his mental skills... It's a hundred times more powerful than you think, and a hundred times more ruthless... Hongyan alone, if there is no other external support, confronting Sun Quan is no less than shaking a tree and digging his own grave! ”

"What about brother-in-law? What are you going to do? ”

Sun Shao asked again.

Lu Xun said faintly, "Where do I have a choice now?" I'm going to, hehe..."

Speaking of this, there was a slight self-deprecation in his words: "My plan should be someone... I hope I'm going to-"

This person naturally refers to Guan Lin.

Lu Xun's eyes showed the same "wisdom" as always.

From the fire that Sun Quan instructed Lu Meng, he Lu Xun, the 30,000 Lu family soldiers, the 100,000 Lu family members and family members who are still in Wu County...

Their net worth and their lives, their blessings and misfortunes... It's not up to him Lu Xun to decide for a long time!

"Ahh

"Ahh

A deep sigh resounded from Lu Xun's heart.

He also wanted to know, next... What is he going to do with Lu Jiajun?

And what can you do?

It was Sun Ru, because of her husband's words, she suddenly thought of something.

Her pupils widened, and she looked at her beloved brother, "Bo Yan just said that if there is no support behind Hongyan, it will be a grasshopper shaking the tree and digging its own grave!" But..."

Sun Ru pursed her lips, she pressed her emotions, "Who said that there is no support behind Hongyan?" If he... He can support Hongyan! ”

"Him?" Sun Shao and Tai Shixiang looked dazed.

Sun Ru said firmly, "It's Guan Lin, Guan Yunqi, the fourth son of Guan, and now... My mother is in Jiangling, under his protection, if it weren't for fate, how could I meet my mother? ”

Sun Ru looked at Lu Xun, "Sooner or later, Bo Yan is also going to vote for the fourth prince of Guan, how about Hongyan also defect to the fourth prince of Guan?" Deal with that Sun Quan, if it's him... Be sure! ”

- "Guan Sigongzi?"

At this moment, Sun Shao and Tai Shixiang looked at each other...

The essence in their eyes revealed:

- "As long as Sun Quan can be ruined, as long as he can make the wicked finally get evil retribution... As for whom? It doesn't matter at all!'

That's when it happened.

There was a knock on the door.

"General Lu, the prince of Yunqi has come with a letter, a clear letter, a pressed letter..."

It's Han Xuan...

Even through a door, even if he is in his sixties, his voice is still loud and sonorous.

"From now on, the old man also has two identities, one is the identity of the Yunqi Gongzi who sent him to help General Lu rescue 100,000 people, and the other is the envoy who negotiated with General Lu for the Sun-Liu Alliance!"

"Hehe... The old man's nose and ears should be saved! ”
