General Suinan Zhonglang, the governor of the seven counties of Jiaozhou——

Cao Cao put forward such a sentence.

Cheng Yu took a step forward, "Prime Minister, the minister knows a little about the situation in Jiaozhou. ”

Cheng Yu began to tell in detail about the past and present life of the Jiaozhou Shixie family.

"In the fourth year of Zhongping, Shi Xie was appointed as Jiaozhi Taishou, because the Jiaozhou Assassin at that time collected heavy taxes from all over the country, causing resistance and being killed, the state and county order was chaotic, since then, Jiaozhou has gradually broken away from the control of the imperial court, Shixie is nominally loyal to the imperial court's Jiaozhi Taishou, in fact, he has become a warlord who divides the counties of Lingnan!"

"Most of the relatives of the Shi clan hold important positions in Jiaozhou, and their younger brother Shi Shi concurrently serves as Hepu Taishou, the second brother Shi Shi, and the third brother Shiwu concurrently serves as Nanhai Taishou... In recent years, the Central Plains has been in dispute, the heroes are competing for the deer, Jiaozhou has become a happy land, a large number of people from the Central Plains and the north have migrated to Jiaozhou, the development of Jiaozhou has been very prosperous in recent years, and it is considered a rich party! ”

"And this Shixie family, because the jurisdiction is thousands of miles away, so the prestige is supreme, Shixie rings the bell when he goes in and out, with majesty, the flute is preached, the chariot is ridden, and there are often dozens of sand men sandwiched in the chariots and horses to burn incense... Even when his concubines went out, they all rode in a small car equipped with a curtain, and their children had soldiers riding horses behind them, and they were extremely noble and prominent, such a guard of honor, even the king of Nanyue south of Jiaozhou did not have it! ”

Speaking of this, Cheng Yu paused and continued to speak.

"After the battle between the prime minister and Yuan Shaoguandu, the prime minister led a large army to the north, in order to strengthen the control of Jiaozhou, the prime minister also sent the new Jiaozhou assassin Shi, but he died or fled, and none of them got a good death. Liu Biao relied on the Ninth Army of Jingzhou, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and began to get involved in Jiaozhou... Take the opportunity to send your henchmen to do the history of Jiaozhou assassination! ”

"At that time, in order to avoid Liu Biao's power being too strong, the prime minister played the imperial court, gave Shixie the seal and title, and the prime minister also wrote a letter himself, 'Jiaozhou is located in a place isolated from the Central Plains, the south is by the river and the sea, the court's order cannot be announced, and the words of the subordinates are blocked. ”

This is the origin of the seven county governors of Shixie's Jiaozhou.

It was also the beginning of Cao Cao's connection with Shixie.

Since then, Shi Xie will bring tribute to Xudu every year, but the road is cut off, and many times the tribute cannot be delivered, but Shi Xie never gave up, the prime minister was moved, and also named Shi Xie as General Anyuan, and knighted the Marquis of Longdu Pavilion! It wasn't until the fifteenth year of Jian'an, after the Battle of Chibi, that the situation reversed, and the Shixie family was forced to rely on Sun Quan and became a vassal state of Eastern Wu. The Shixie family no longer pays tribute to the imperial court! ”

Cheng Yu tells the story of the entire Jiaozhou, the past and present life of the entire Shixie family...

Cao Cao listened as he paced left and right.

In the end, his eyes stayed on Cao Zhi's body, "Zijian, you say, in your opinion, Lu Xun rebelled against Eastern Wu, took refuge in the Jiaozhou Shixie family, and counterattacked Eastern Wu, how about Lonely?" ”

Cao Zhi arched his hand and said, "The child thinks... When Jiaozhou was rewarded in the name of the imperial court and his father, an edict was issued to continue the attack on the belly of Eastern Wu. Now the situation in Hefei is in danger, Sun Quan is unable to divide his troops, and Lu Xun and Jiaozhou rebel, which is the bottom of the kettle for Dongwu! ”

As soon as these words came out, Cao Cao groaned slightly, did not nod or deny, he looked around.

But seeing the corners of Sima Yi's mouth, a subtle smile slipped, and he subconsciously glanced up and met Cao Cao's gaze.

"Jun Sima? What are your insights? Cao Cao led the words to Sima Yi's side.

Sima Yi pondered for a moment, "Between the ministers, Lu Xun and the Lu family's northern expedition was just a bluff, in order to put forward conditions to Eastern Wu. ”

"Conditions?" Cao Cao looked at Sima Yi suspiciously.

"The four major families of Wu County, Gu, Lu, Zhu, Zhang, and the four major families of Huiji, 'Yu, Wei, Kong, and Xie', Lu's status in them ranks third, and his family has long been entrenched in Eastern Wu, how can it be so simple as tens of thousands of Lu family troops, Lu Xun wants to force Eastern Wu to agree, not to hurt his clansmen, so he will go on a northern expedition with the Jiaozhou Shixie family..."

"As for the governor of the seven counties of Jiaozhou, if he has an enterprising heart, he should lead his troops north as early as the time when the heroes are competing for the Central Plains... At that time, he did not move, developed Jiaozhou, built Jiaozhou into a happy land, and took in thousands of homeless Li Shu, perhaps this is a merit for refugees in the world, but it also proves that he, like Liu Biao, is the master of stubbornness, and has no ambition to expand the territory... So..."

Sima Yi said a lot in one breath, and before he could finish speaking, Cao Cao took the lead.

"You mean, Jiaozhou and Lu Xun's soldiers and horses will retreat soon!"

Sima Yi replied: "It depends on when Sun Quan agreed to Lu Xun's conditions..."

This...

Cao Cao paced again, he lowered his head and groaned, he didn't think about it for too long, he knew Sun Quan too well, this kid didn't fight well, he still knew the priorities!

Thinking of this, Cao Cao opened his mouth with great determination, "If it is that Sun Zhongmou, he will definitely agree!" ”

At this point, Cao Cao then asked Sima Yi.

"What do you think? When? ”

"Send an envoy to Jiaozhou, meet with the governor of the seven counties of Jiaozhou, and at the same time reward Shixie, persuade Lu Xun and his soldiers and horses to go up the waterway, cross the Xiangjiang River, and go north directly to surrender to the prime minister! In this way, the prime minister has a team of soldiers and horses who are good at water warfare, and he is no longer afraid of the Jingzhou Guan Yu Naval Army and the Eastern Wu Naval Army... This so-called tiger has wings! ”

Sima Yi talked eloquently...

His words made the strategists around him ponder, and they couldn't help but bow their heads to ponder, but pondering and pondering...

Although Sima Yi's words were a bit bold, considering that the soldiers and horses of Jingzhou and Eastern Wu were now gathered on the battlefield, no one could stop Lu Xun's fleet, as long as the supply problem was solved, it was a good idea.

"I see—"

Cao Cao nodded heavily, he turned to the side and looked at the maps of Jingzhou, Yangzhou, and Jiaozhou hanging high on the side of the main hall.

He stared at Sima Yi with tiger eyes, he knew that Sima Yi was not planning for him Cao Cao, but making meritorious contributions for Zihuan... is accumulating energy for Zihuan and accumulating energy to fight him Cao Cao.

This time, if the credit is established.

Lu Xun and his Lu Jiajun will also become Cao Pi's supporters...

As a meritorious minister, Sima Yi and a number of wealthy clans naturally elected Cao Pi as the prince, and when the time came, his hope of Cao Cao establishing Cao Zhi was completely destroyed.

Cao Cao has been able to deeply spy on Sima Yi's "ambition"!

"Zijian? Do you have anything to say? ”

"The child thinks that the idea of the military master is better-"

Cao Zhi's answer once again made Cao Cao deeply disappointed.

- "Sure enough, Zijian is still the son who is not good at scheming!"

The mind is on this.

Suddenly, Cao Cao felt dizzy, he covered his forehead, Xu Chu on the side hurriedly stepped forward to support Cao Cao, and with Xu Chu's support, Cao Cao stood firm.

"Prime Minister..."

A group of civil servants asked with concern.

Cao Cao muttered: "Sima Zhongda, the strategy you offered, you go to Jiaozhou to bring that Lu Xun back!" ”

"Lone wants you to take Lu Xun and take back Lone's Jiangxia-"

…

…

Anlu City, in a pavilion.

Zhu Ling's son, Zhu Shu's hesitant figure was cast on the window, and his cheeks looked very struggling.

During the day, he and his father Zhu Ling once again proposed to go to Jiming Mountain to burn grain and grass, but Guan Lin's attitude was extremely abnormal, and he was originally very interested in burning grain, but he became a little indifferent...

even told Zhu Ling and Zhu Shu that this matter should not be mentioned again.

This...

After all, Zhu Shu is young and vigorous, and he and his father took great risks to join the enemy camp, not to waste their time!

If it is impossible to lure the snake out of the hole, then the plan and deployment of "ambush on all sides" and "catching turtles in the urn" in Jiming Mountain will not be stillborn?

This...

Zhu Shu paced to the left, to the head, to the right again, and to the head again.

Repeated several times, even his father Zhu Ling was stunned.

Zhu Ling said lightly: "Why are you so breathless? ”

Zhu Shu sighed deeply, and he explained, "This... There's no reason for that, huh? We have been sincere for so long, and in order to cooperate with us, General Yu Ban has almost made everything extremely real... There is no fault in the whole incident, but why? This Guan Lin is abnormal, just don't attack Jiming Mountain? Could it be that he... Did he see his father's deception? ”

Seeing that his son was so breathless, Zhu Ling shook his head slightly, "Calm down, besides, did Guan Lin clearly say that he would not go to Jiming Mountain to burn grain?" ”

"But he won't let me talk to my dad about it again!" Zhu Shu opened his mouth like a cannon.

Zhu Ling paused for a moment, and then pondered for a moment before he spoke, "Fang Cai's father is also thinking about this problem, and at first he couldn't figure it out, this foolproof plan, why did Guan Lin keep his mouth shut, and then his father figured it out, let's put ourselves in his shoes and think about it, if you attack Jiming Mountain, there are too few soldiers... It is difficult to capture, there are too many soldiers, and there are no troops to garrison Anlu City! Hehe, thinking about it this way, I'm afraid that this Guan Lin is also in trouble..."

"So, it's just like that?" Zhu Shu's patience seemed to have run out.

Zhu Ling stroked his beard and said with emotion: "Sun Tzu said: The good defender hides under the nine earths, and the good attacker moves above the nine heavens, so he can protect himself and win... As for this Guan Lin, Dad can see the expectation in his eyes, Dad has known countless people in his life, people may lie, but eyes don't lie, he has never given up on this fighter plane in Jiming Mountain, perhaps, he is hiding his purpose this morning, as expected, he has begun to secretly mobilize troops and horses! ”

"Mobilize troops?" Zhu Ling's words made Zhu Shu suddenly cheer up, "But where do you want to mobilize troops and horses?" Is it his brother, Guan Ping, who is stationed in the rest of the cities of Jiangxia? ”

"No..."Zhu Ling waved his hand, his cheeks facing west, looking at the Xiangfan battlefield, "Don't forget, after General Xu Huang was defeated by Guan Yu in the first battle, he hung up the battle exemption card..."

Yes...

Zhu Ling's words woke up Zhu Shu, "What does Dad mean that Guan Lin will let his father Guan Yu go to attack Jiming Mountain?" ”

"Fight tiger brothers, go into battle father and son soldiers... With the situation on the battlefield of Xiangfan, it is not difficult for Guan Yu to draw more than 10,000 soldiers and horses! Zhu Ling squinted, because at the mention of Guan Yu, it was inevitable that a little fear would arise in his heart, but this fear only existed for a moment, and it was all gone.

He had a feeling that he had seen through Guan Lin, including all of Guan Lin's thoughts and schemes, all of which he had seen through.

This also made Zhu Ling much more confident, and his tone was deep and determined.

"Hehe, no matter who it is, there is no return to this Jiming Mountain!"

…

…

A black-canopy boat castrated like flying, swinging through the churning waves and undulating on the endless river.

Sima Yi and Zhang Chunhua sat on the bow of the boat, looking at the distant and ethereal green hills on both sides of the strait under the cold winter, because of the lush trees and the thin mist, Jiaozhou here looked even more beautiful, as if in a fantasy world.

Sima Yi sighed softly: "The four seasons are like spring, the green mountains are like daisies, no wonder the Jiaozhou Shixie family has never tried in vain to get involved in the Central Plains, has been involved in the north, such a happy land of the people, has been rich and quiet enough, how can there be an enterprising heart?" This is also the reason why Sun Quan sent Lu Xun to attack Jiaozhou, but in the end it fell short! ”

Zhang Chunhua said, "Sun Quan wants to exchange war for peace, but the people here have already had peace, Lu Xun has soldiers in his hands, but in order to protect peace, the people here will definitely be soldiers, and they will not hesitate to sacrifice their lives to protect their stable homeland!" ”

Sima Yi muttered: "People's hearts are back-"

When they came to Guangxin City in Cangwu County, Jiaozhou, Sima Yi and Zhang Chunhua did not immediately go to see Shixie, but first found an inn, and there was a large bronze mirror in the inn.

At Sima Yi's suggestion, Zhang Chunhua was helping him put on the brand-new official uniform of Cao Wei's envoy.

Zhang Chunhua asked in a low voice: "Do you want to be so solemn?" I'm afraid that others won't recognize you as Cao Wei's official..."

"Hehe..."Sima Yi smiled, "The Jiaozhou Shixie family has long been in contact with Prime Minister Cao Cheng, and even the official title of the governor of the seven counties of Jiaozhou is still canonized by Prime Minister Cao Cheng, after the Battle of Chibi, due to geographical reasons, the road to Nagong in the north was completely blocked, and Eastern Wu grew stronger day by day... The Shixie family had no choice but to be attached to Soochow, but over the years... So much happened inside Soochow and so many people died? How Sun Quan is the master, Shi Xie must have a clear account in his heart, so..."

Zhang Chunhua followed Sima Yi's words: "Zhongda means... The Shixie family is still eager to be attached to Prime Minister Cao? ”

"It's nature!" Sima Yi's tone was firm. "Especially now, after a complete break with Soochow!"

"That..."Zhang Chunhua blinked, "Why can't it be Liu Bei?" Now that Jingzhou is connected to Jiaozhou, it is possible to betray Dongwu and join Liu Bei, right? ”

"Impossible!" Sima Yi's eyes were gloomy, "Guan Yu is a righteous man, what he looks down on the most is the villain who is facing Qin and Duchu, two-faced and three-sworded, even if Shi Xie is attached, he will definitely be rejected by Guan Yu!" In addition, Sun Liu is alliance, since Jiaozhou betrayed Dongwu, Liu Bei will never accept Jiaozhou's surrender... This will make the Sun-Liu Alliance suspicious! ”

"But didn't Zhongda say that the Sun-Liu Alliance was already full of disagreements?" Zhang Chunhua then asked.

"This 'suspicion' is not the other''s 'suspicion'!" Sima Yi replied faintly, and as this sentence fell, he changed his words, "Okay, let's not talk about this... It's time for me to send a prayer post! ”

Zhang Chunhua suddenly insisted, "I want to accompany you!" ”

Sima Yi was taken aback, "How can that happen?" ”

Zhang Chunhua said: "I wear men's clothes, you can't recognize it, what's wrong?" I'm not here to accompany you on a leisurely tour of the landscape, no matter whether this Jiaozhou Shixie is a jackal, tiger and leopard, or a flood beast, I will be by your side! ”

Seeing Zhang Chunhua's resolute appearance, Sima Yi compromised.

You must know that his wife, but Zhang Chunhua, who was known as "Chun Xiao Tai Sui" when he was young!

Sima Yi, at least the current Sima Yi, is still a man who loves his wife and is afraid of his wife!

…

…

"No, it won't—"

"Promised—"

There were two exclamations from Lu Xun in a row, and two exclamations came from a wing room in the Guangxin City Government Office.

With this voice, Lu Xun's jaw almost dropped in shock.

And the same surprise is his son Lu Yan, his wife Sun Ru, as well as Tai Shixiang and Sun Shao... Even, even Han Xuan was a little surprised.

As for the reason for everyone's surprise, it was none other than this receipt from Sun Quan's envoy.

- All the requests made by Lu Xun, Sun Quan agreed!

Even the migration of the Lu family in Wu County has begun.

The money and grain for Soochow's compensation are also on the way... All the states and counties along the route are extremely convenient.

Even, Lu Xun was allowed to send someone into Soochow at any time to supervise the progress.

It's just that Sun Quan has one more, and the Lu family army immediately retreated from Longchuan City and Luling County.

Han Xuan was the first to come back to his senses from his surprise, he "chirped" his mouth and sighed.

"I said, we should ask for 500,000 gold, 500,000 stone grain, if you don't insist, how can there be only 300,000... Eh, I lost 200,000 yuan for nothing... That's a lot of food! ”

Han Xuan shook his head vigorously...

He felt that his heart was dripping blood, and the annual harvest and taxes of Changsha County were not as much as 200,000.

All in all, it feels like a loss of 100 million!

Sun Ru said with emotion: "It seems that as Yunqi Gongzi said, there are really no soldiers in Sun Quan's rear... This time, whether Bo Yan took advantage of the fire to rob or ask for a sky-high price, in short, our goal was achieved. ”

"How can it be a robbery while the fire is burning?" Lu Xun's eyes suddenly turned cold: "This is what the blue eyes owe us!" He should! ”

Even if Sun Quan agreed to Lu Xun's conditions and put them into action.

However, it is impossible for Lu Xun to forgive him.

The former enmity between the Lu family and Sun Quan will need to be completely liquidated one day! This is undying hatred!

There was a brief silence...

Lu Xun opened his mouth and said, "Then next?" ”

Although Lu Xun was talking, there were some complicated emotions in his expression, as if he had some words, and he didn't vomit or be unhappy.

When it comes to this, he simply doesn't hide it.

"Old Han, in fact, I have something to say, and I have always wanted to say it."

"Bo Yan and I are also friends who have forgotten the year, but Bo Yan is okay to say."

"The farce in Koto is over." Lu Xun muttered: "The Lu family left their hometown, finally got out of the control of Eastern Wu, and became completely independent, Sun Quan also lost his wife and broke his army, it seems that there is no winner in this farce, but I think about it carefully... I was surprised to find that someone had benefited! The biggest beneficiary is Guan Sigongzi! ”

"It's hard not to be convinced that he has such a mind at such an age..."

Lu Xun's words are tantamount to expressing loyalty.

Implication:

- I know your Guan Lin's plan! However, such a meticulous plan calculates everyone in it, so that even if people are aware of it, they cannot change it, and the design of this kind of conspiracy is even more convincing!

This...

Han Xuan suddenly felt a little restrained after being seen through.

However, after only a moment, he smiled and said, "The prince of Yunqi values you Lu Boyan very much!" ”

"No!" Lu Xun waved his hand directly, "I think he wants to pull the hopes of the younger generation of Dongwu to Jingzhou..."

Lu Xun's expression was dignified, and his tone began to become more serious.

"First there was Zhuge Yuanxun, and then I Lu Xun, and now even Tai Shixiang and Sun Shao have to go to Jingzhou... Guan Sigongzi's vision is not just me, Lu Xun? Of course, when I say this, Han Lao doesn't have to explain to Yunqi Gongzi, this is a world of great controversy, and every day the world is changing all kinds of tricks, all of them are open guns and hidden arrows, and the comparison is who is better than the best move! ”

Speaking of this, Lu Xun paused, his tone became low, but it was a lot thicker.

is like the people he mentioned, the things he mentioned, let him admire it from the bottom of his heart!

"And in the face of Cao Cao, in the face of the huge territory of Kyushu and a half, Yunqi Gongzi has seen further!"

"No matter how indestructible the Sun-Liu Alliance is, but this is an alliance after all, there has been no alliance that has not broken throughout the ages, and sooner or later the Sun-Liu Alliance will also break, but once it breaks... Neither side is enough to face the powerful Cao Cao, think about it from this perspective... Whether it's a conspiracy or a trick, while the alliance is still alive, accumulate as much strength as possible, and accumulate the energy of the enemy and friendly forces under your own hands, so... Only when the alliance is broken, will he have the capital to confront Cao Cao and guard against his former allies! ”

"Put yourself in Guan Sigongzi's shoes, if I could have understood the situation earlier, I would have done the same, but I wouldn't have done it as well as he did! His vision, his mind, his control of people's hearts, and his strategic planning make me feel that ..."

Perhaps, he can really defeat Cao Cao and recast this dangerous Han family! Complete this almost impossible task! ”

"And I, Lu Xun and Lu Jiajun, can become one of them, and become a member of history, it should be honorable——"
