Chapter 537 Lu Xun's Conspiracy

  The reason why Langli left the Yanniu tribe and came to Qiongdu was because he was intimidated by the strength of the Han army. After all, the Dongqu tribe and Zhuoma tribe were not small tribes, and they would be destroyed if they were destroyed.

  Compared to the previous two, the Yanniu Department has an advantage. If they really dare to go out of the mountains to confront the Han army, they will end up in the same end as them in all likelihood.

  The second is to be intimidated by the name of the ghost king. The ghost king disturbed Nanzhong and made thousands of families cry. The ghost king who cannibalizes human flesh and drinks human blood is not a joke.

  Langlu promised Langli to take some people away, also out of consideration of risk sharing.

  Three, it is forced by the survival of the tribe. Every year, the clansmen froze to death and starved to death in the mountains. After all these years, Langli couldn't remember how many there were.

  When he saw that all the tribes in Qiongdu were supported by the Han government, he was really moved.

   Now when I hear that Feng Changshi of Yuejuan is actually Feng Langjun who made an alliance with Qianghu and killed Baima in Ju County, I finally understand in my heart.

   No wonder the notorious King of Ghosts came to Yuejuan. Apart from exterminating the tribes that didn't listen to restraint, he was so easy to talk to other tribes.

   Not only organized them to cultivate wasteland, but also divided them into grazing areas, and even provided them with financial assistance.

  It turns out that Feng Changshi of Yuejuan is Feng Langjun who has kindness to Qianghu.

  Han people pay attention to the combination of kindness and power. If you think that the ghost king is mighty, this Feng Langjun must be kind.

  Lang Li felt that he finally understood the joint.

  He thought about it, and finally sent a message to the tribe in Hanjia County.

  Feng Yong naturally doesn't care about the thoughts of the big and small leaders of the Yi tribes under his command.

   These days, he is taking Jiang Wan on tour.

  Jiang Wan came to Yuexuan, of course, not just to pass on a message.

When Feng Yong was nineteen years old, he became the governor of the county, and he was also the actual master of the land of the county. The prime minister of the Han Dynasty was afraid that he would cause trouble due to his inexperience, so he immediately sent Jiang Wan come here.

   One is to see if Feng Yong needs help, and the other is to ask Jiang Wan to make up for it if there is a mistake.

  Unexpectedly, when Jiang Wan came to Qiongdu, he found that not only the barbarians had calmed down, but also those rebellious barbarians obeyed the government's arrangement and worked with peace of mind.

  While this made him extremely surprised, his evaluation of Feng Yong was further improved.

  The prime minister saw that this son could train those Hu Yi in Nanxiang, so he tried to make him more and more talented. Unexpectedly, he really had a set of skills in teaching Hu Yi.

  The first batch of Han people finally arrived in Qiongdu before the end of June, along with Amei and a batch of chicken and duck eggs.

   Seeing Feng Yong arrange the people in Shibian in an orderly manner, Jiang Wan was finally completely relieved, and then returned to Jincheng with peace of mind.

   At the same time, I brought back three letters of recommendation from Feng Yong.

  When he was in Wei County last year, Feng Yong responded to the request of the Prime Minister of the Great Han Dynasty to take charge of Yuejuan, and he was given the privilege of being able to recommend the chief officials of the three counties of Yueluan.

   Now Yuejuan has been considered to be truly settled, and Jiang Wan happened to come again, so Feng Yong took the opportunity to promote Zhangyi as Qiongdu county magistrate, Huang Chong as Suqi county magistrate, and Wang Xun as Taideng county magistrate.

  Now the three are temporarily supervising the three counties as captains.

  The three counties of the Sunshui River Valley were assigned by Feng Yong.

   Just when the big man had completely pacified Nanzhong and enjoyed the hard-won peace, Cao Wei and Soochow became a little restless.

In the fourth year of Jianxing, Shixie, the governor of Jiaozhou, died. Sun Quan felt that Jiaozhou was too remote and difficult to govern, and the power of the scholars was too strong, so he divided Jiaozhou into two, with Hepu County as the boundary, Guangzhou in the north and Guangzhou in the south. Set up Jiaozhou.

  Guangzhou ruled Panyu, and Jiaozhou ruled Longbian (that is, the east of Hanoi, Vietnam later).

  Order Lu Dai as governor of Guangzhou, Dai Liang as governor of Jiaozhou, and Ren Shixie's son as prefect of Jiuzhen County.

  This incident aroused Shi Hui's dissatisfaction. Relying on Shi Xie's favor to the people of Jiaozhou during his lifetime, he resisted Sun Wu's order and called himself the prefect of Jiaozhi.

  At the same time, he secretly sent someone to send a letter to the big man, hoping to pass through the Xu family, expressing his surrender to the big man, so as to get the big man's help.

  After the Great Han Prime Minister pacified Nanzhong, he asked Li Huiyao to lead the governor of Jiaozhou. He intended to get involved in Jiaozhou.

   Unexpectedly, Shi Hui could not suppress even the clan soldiers of the local clans in Jiaozhou. He was immediately disappointed, and when he learned that Feng Yong, the Marquis of Guannei, was not optimistic about Shi Hui, he decided to hold back for the time being.

  When the news of Cao Pi's death came, Zhuge Liang couldn't help secretly rejoicing that he didn't rashly intervene in Jiaozhou affairs, so he didn't turn against Soochow.

  At the same time, according to Feng Yong's proposal, he personally wrote a letter to Sun Quan, the Lord of Wu, and suggested that Han and Wu join hands in the Northern Expedition.

  The letter not only talked about the benefits of sugarcane, but also promised to pay a high price for the rough sugar from Jingzhou, and also donated a batch of wool cloth to make friends with Lord Wu.

  Sun Quan was very happy to receive the letter from the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, and called all the ministers to discuss.

   All the ministers agreed that it was the right time to attack Cao Wei when Cao Pi was newly mourned, so Sun Quan made up his mind, and at the same time, he asked people to pass the news to Lu Xun who was guarding Jiangling as quickly as possible.

  Lu Xun was taken aback when he received the news from Wuchang, and quickly asked to go to Wuchang to meet the King of Wu on the pretext of reporting the Jiangling farmland to the King of Wu.

   (In the spring of the fourth year of Jianxing, Lu Xun ordered the generals to open up farmland due to lack of food in the place where he was stationed. Sun Quan greatly appreciated it, and even set an example by taking the eight cows he used to pull his cart to plow the land.)

  Lu Xun was Sun Quan's most trusted person at this time, and Sun Quan would consider his opinions on all matters between Wu and Shu, and even carved his own jade seal and placed it in Lu Xun's residence.

  Every communication between the Han Dynasty has to go through the hands of Lu Xun. The documents for Shu are also shown to Lu Xun first. If there is something wrong, Lu Xun will modify it and send it directly.

   Although the two are said to be monarchs and ministers, they are actually very close.

   Now, as soon as Sun Quan heard Lu Xun's request to meet him in Wuchang, he knew that Lu Xun had a different view on the matter of attacking Wei, so he immediately agreed to Lu Xun's request.

  From Jiangling to Wuchang, there are both land and water routes, and Lu Xun arrived in just two days.

   "Your Majesty, the General of Fuguo is asking to see you."

  In the palace of Wuchang, Sun Quan was surprised when he heard that Lu Xun had returned, "Bo Yan has finally arrived? Hurry up!"

   "The minister Lu Xun has seen the king."

  Forty-three-year-old Lu Xun was only one year younger than Sun Quan, but he was a generation younger than Sun Quan. Because of Sun Quan's appreciation, he was able to marry Sun Quan's niece.

   "Bo Yan doesn't need to be polite, come, sit down."

  Sun Quan greeted warmly, "Come here, bring me the lonely honey water. Boyan must have been exhausted after coming all the way."

  Sun Quan said, and personally moved the ice mirror beside him to Lu Xun's side.

   "I thank you, Your Majesty."

   Lu Xun was a little flattered.

   "Bo Yan is running around for state affairs, I am the one who thanks Boyan."

  The forty-four-year-old Sun Quan has a face with Chinese characters, a reddish beard under the wide mouth is very distinctive, and bright eyes, showing a strong confidence.

   On the other hand, although Lu Xun is called a general, he is dressed as a Confucian scholar, with a fair face, polite manners, and a slightly feminine speech. It can be seen that he is a gentle character.

  Only the slightly slanted sword eyebrows added a heroic air to him and neutralized his femininity.

  "All the ministers said that the time is right to attack Wei, but Bo Yan wants to keep a secret to Gu. I don't know, but do you have another opinion?"

  After the screen moved back to the left and right, Sun Quan asked.

   "Cao Pi's new funeral, the hearts of the people in the north are now floating, and it is the right time to attack Wei. This is indeed a good statement."

  Lu Xun nodded, "However, we need to carefully plan how to attack. Otherwise, if we fall into the tricks of the Shu Kingdom, we will lose both sides in a fight with Cao Wei, but the Shu Kingdom will take advantage of it."

   "Bo Yan said this, could it be that the Shu Kingdom has ulterior motives?"

  Sun Quan asked with a flash of light in his eyes.

   "Your Majesty, before his death, Liu Bei would rather guard Yong'an than return to Jincheng. He even wrote a letter to his ministers, saying that he wanted to lead the army eastward again. It shows how much he never forgets Jingzhou?"

"Liu Bei won Zhuge Liang, once said that he was like a fish in water, and then entrusted the whole of Shu to him. How could Zhuge Liang not know Liu Bei's thoughts? In addition, Shu regarded itself as a big Han orthodox, whether it was Cao Wei or Wu, they were all regarded as rebels. thief."

   "It's just that the state of Shu is weak now and has to join forces with the king. But if there is a chance, the state of Shu will not give up the opportunity to weaken Cao Wei and Jiangdong."

  Lu Xun's tone was calm and calm, with a calming force, as if everything was under his control.

   "According to Bo Yan, Zhuge Liang's letter is to let us fight Cao Wei recklessly, and the snipe and the clam will fight each other, so that he can benefit from the fisherman?"

"I am very sure of that."

Sun Quan frowned slightly when he heard the words, but at the same time he was a little bit reluctant, "Bo Yan's words are indeed reasonable. We should be careful when we attack Wei. It's just that Cao Pi's new funeral is a rare and good time. If you give up easily, you don't know when." That’s why I waited for this opportunity.”

   "Your Majesty, the timing is indeed a good one. But I have the courage to ask you, Your Majesty, do you think that with the strength of our Wu Kingdom, we can contend against Cao Wei alone?"

  Lu Xun naturally knew what was going on in Sun Quan's mind, but now that the three kingdoms stand together, if one side moves lightly, the other side will definitely benefit. How to grasp the scale of this has to be carefully considered.

   "Of course not, otherwise why should I join forces with the Shu Kingdom in the west to resist Cao Wei?"

  Sun Quan replied.

   "If we take advantage of Cao Pi's new funeral and raise a large army to attack him, can the king be sure to hurt his roots?"

  Lu Xun asked again.

   "Nothing."

  Sun Quan nodded in recognition.

  Compared to Cao Wei occupying eighth of the world, Wu State is still too small, even if it unexpectedly sends troops to attack Wei, at most it will take some advantage in the early stage.

"Cao Wei originally deployed heavy troops in the south of the Yangtze River to prevent the king. If they suffered a loss, they would probably attack with a large army when they stabilized. Therefore, when we attack Wei, we either don't fight it, or we have to fight it. It hurts, so it doesn't dare to go south easily."

   Lu Xun said solemnly.

  When Sun Quan heard the words, he quickly held Lu Xun's hand, "Have Bo Yan planned something?"

Lu Xun nodded, "I have a plan. I can temporarily evade the invitation of the Kingdom of Shu, but also get the benefits that the Kingdom of Shu promised. In the end, if there is a chance, I can join forces with the Kingdom of Shu and attack Wei together, so that I, the Kingdom of Wu, don't have to face it alone." Cao Wei's army."

   "Please Bo Yan come quickly!"

  Sun Quan was overjoyed.

"Your Majesty, Jiangxia and Xiangyang are both dangerous places in Jingzhou. Since the Kingdom of Shu is tempting us to attack Cao Wei from the Kingdom of Wu, Your Majesty might as well pretend to agree. However, it is not a large-scale army, and only a small number of soldiers try to attack these two places. .”

   (Jiangxia County was divided into two parts at that time, Wu accounted for most, and Wei accounted for the northern part.)

   "If so, wouldn't it alarm Cao Wei?"

  Sun Quan asked in surprise.

   "If this move succeeds, it will be a surprise. If it fails, then it's okay. It's just a way to prevaricate the Shu Kingdom, and it can also paralyze Cao Wei at the same time."

   "In this way, we can naturally accept the huge profits promised by the Kingdom of Shu to us, and at the same time, it can also make Cao Wei think that our soldiers are vulnerable to a battle."

  Lu Xun explained, "Now Jiaozhou is in war. We promised Shu to attack Wei, and they will never interfere in Jiaozhou. At that time, we will take the opportunity to quell the chaos in one fell swoop."

   "Wonderful!"

  Sun Quan jumped up against the case and exclaimed, "Three kills with one stone!"

   "More than that!"

A sharp light flashed in Lu Xun's eyes, "Zhuge Liang has just pacified Nanzhong, and the Kingdom of Shu must not be able to use weapons recently. When we reap the benefits of the Kingdom of Shu and quell the chaos in Jiaozhou, the Kingdom of Shu may be able to calm down. gone."

   "At that time, we will urge them to send troops from Hanzhong, let them attract Cao Wei's troops, and then we will march in a large scale from the east, echoing each other. Cao Wei first despises the Jiangdong soldiers, and then has to take care of one and lose the other. Is there any reason for invincibility?"

   "Good good good good!"

   Sun Quan laughed.

"Your Majesty, the Kingdom of Shu has only one prefecture. It was defeated by Yiling before it was conquered by Nanzhong, and then it took a breather. Let's urge them to go north again. Even if Zhuge Liang is capable of Guan Zhong, the land of Shu It will also be tossed until the country is exhausted and the people are exhausted."

   "In this way, no matter how much they peep at the land of Jingzhou, they can only do nothing. They must cooperate with us obediently and dare not make any further attempts."

  When Lu Xun said this, he clenched his fists hard, as if he was holding the Kingdom of Shu in his hands.

  Hearing this, Sun Quan was so excited that he couldn't help himself. He got up and walked quickly, clapping his hands repeatedly, "Very good!"

   After a while, he stopped, turned around to Lu Xun, and praised, "Bo Yan, while others can make a fortune for a while, you can make a fortune for a country. You are really a lonely countryman!"

   As he spoke, he poured a bowl of honey water for Lu Xun himself, "Lonely soldier, please drink!"

   "I thank you, Your Majesty."

Watching Lu Xun take the bowl respectfully and drink it all down, Sun Quan smiled satisfied, thought for a while, and then said slowly, "Bo Yan, if I personally lead the troops to attack Jiang Xia, the act of paralyzing Cao Wei will not be enough." Wouldn't it be better?"

   "Your Majesty can't do it! Nine times out of ten you will lose this battle, I'm afraid it will damage your prestige."

  Lu Xun hurriedly stopped him, "Why don't I let the minister personally lead troops to attack Xiangyang..."

  Before Lu Xun finished speaking, Sun Quan stretched out his hand to stop him from continuing, "Bo Yan is my governor in Jiangdong. When Liu Bei was defeated in Yiling, who doesn't know your ability to lead the army?"

   "If you lead the army yourself, if you don't fight well, it will make Cao Wei suspicious, and you won't be able to paralyze it. On the contrary, it will damage your reputation among the soldiers."

   "If you play too well, it will make Cao Wei feel vigilant, which is even worse. Therefore, this move is definitely not possible, but Gu is different."

  Sun Quan pointed to himself, and laughed at himself, "Back then I led 100,000 horsemen, but was defeated by Zhang Liao's 800 cavalry. So what's the point of losing again this time?"

"Kings!"

  Lu Xun didn't expect Sun Quan to be willing to damage his reputation for his own scheme, and he was so moved that he bowed down.

"Bo Yan has supervised Jingzhou for a long time, hasn't he returned to Wu County for a long time? Since we have arrived in Wuchang today, why don't we rest in the palace tonight and go back to Wu County to visit our family tomorrow, lest my niece say that I am not close Favor, don't let your husband and wife meet."

  Sun Quan helped Lu Xun up and comforted him.

  Lu Xun understood as soon as he heard it, the king was here to let him avoid the battle against Wei this time!

  I am the governor of Jingzhou. If I am in Jiangling, I can't justify not personally leading the army when we attack Wei.

  But if he was visiting relatives in Wu County, no one would suspect anything.

   "How dare I disobey the king's wishes?"

  Lu Xun's body was trembling slightly.

  Sun Quan looked at Lu Xun's moved expression, and said jokingly, "This time alone, there is a price for damaging my reputation. Boyan must find a way to help me restore it in the future, otherwise I will not be able to rely on me."

   "My lord, I swear here that I will definitely make the king famous in China in the future!"

   Lu Xun said word by word.
