Chapter 488: There is a Great Terror between Life and Death (5)

There is a saying in the art of war: knowing yourself and the enemy, a hundred battles will never end; knowing the enemy but knowing yourself, one win and one loss; not knowing the enemy, knowing yourself, and every battle will end.

Zhou Yu can only do it now without knowing him and knowing himself.

That's it.

In the face of the unfamiliar Gate, any strategy taken for granted is to walk on the edge of the cliff. Zhou Yu could not be afraid of the courage of the man who would shake the sword with internal force, but he could not but fear the unknown power behind the courage of the man. At this point, Zhou Yu immediately stopped talking about the loss and ended the round of talks in a few words.

Before leaving, Wei Dongsheng re-examined Zhou Yu: "Listen to the announcement, this is my bottom line."

Zhou Yu didn't criticize himself this time, and said carefully: "I will tell Sun Bofu."

Zhou Yu had just faded away, and Lu Xun quickly approached Wei Dongsheng with his light work: "The Zhou family is a prominent family in Lujiang County, and it is difficult to hold back the people. Teacher, do you want to take the opportunity to kill Zhou Yu?"

Wei Dongsheng smiled and shook his head: "No need."

Lu Xun did not insist: "Yes."

Wei Dongsheng watched Zhou Yu's departure direction and asked about Sun Ce's information leisurely: "Where is Sun Ce now?"

Lu Xun immediately replied: "Ping Yaotang has confirmed that Sun Ceyue left Lujiang County before; Limingtang's spies lurking in other counties reported that Sun Ce went down the river and returned to Wu County, and now he is rectifying water in Qu'a, Dantu and other places. Marine soldiers may always cross the river to attack Guangling County, Xuzhou. However, the resources of our Absolute Sacred Gate are concentrated in Lujiang County, and the construction of spy organizations outside the county is lagging behind. For the time being, it is impossible to determine the accuracy of the news about Sun Ce's military preparation."

Wei Dongsheng: "In that case, continue to monitor."

The situation is unpredictable as the crowds compete.

Zhou Yu had just parted from Black Rock City, and another messenger from Cao Cao's camp rushed to Black Rock City.

However, after the defeat of Yangzhou Governor Yan Xiang, Cao Cao appointed Liu Fu as Yangzhou Governor.

Liu Fu took refuge in Yangzhou in his early years. When Yuan Shu revealed the withered bones in the well, he persuaded Yuan Shubu to turn Qi Ji and Qin Yi to Cao Cao. Today, Yuan Shu vomited blood and died, Liu Xun fled in a hurry, and the various forces in Yangzhou reshuffled. Liu Fu was thrown to Yangzhou by Cao Cao to contain Sun Ce Fengrui.

When the time came to April, 200, Cao ignored Yuan Shao's frontal threats and personally led the army to the east, and Liu Bei quickly defeated his army unexpectedly. However, despite the temporary stability of the rear after defeating Liu Bei, the forward Yuan Shao has slowly approached the hinterland of the Central Plains, and Cao Cao has no intention of considering the southern states and counties at this time. Cao Cao's order to Liu Fu also did his best to stop Sun Ce from launching an attack from the south.

For different purposes, the means are naturally different.

Sun Ce took Yangzhou as his foundation and did not allow the hidden dangers of the Jue Sage Gate of Heishi City in Lujiang County; while Liu Fu, the governor of Yangzhou, regarded Yangzhou as the frontier of the beacon, and actively attracted independent forces such as the Jue Sage Gate of Heishi City. Regardless of Yuan Shucun's party, Liu Xun's remaining tribe, or the water thief bandits, as long as they are unwilling to call the court Sun Ce, Liu Fu is not stingy with the magnate to actively win over. Therefore, unlike Zhou Yu's attempt to annex the Supreme Sacred Gate of Black Rock City, Liu Fu not only allowed the Jue Sacred Gate of Black Rock City to continue to be independent, but also encouraged all soldiers to actively expand their sphere of influence south.

If you only consider the immediate degree of freedom, Liu Fu, who represents Cao Cao, is much better than directly relying on Sun Ce.

Although Cao Cao is by no means more merciful than Sun Ce, Cao Cao's strategic focus at this time is in the north instead of Yangzhou. The Supreme Gate of Heishi City can be regarded as a local warlord standing in the Cao Cao camp in name. As for whether Cao Cao will be as strong as Sun Ce, that is all in the future, so there is no need to worry about it now. Furthermore, when Cao Cao wanted to take the Sacred Gate of Heishicheng City, Wei Dongsheng would stand again.

When the small forces in Huainan were entangled in choosing Liu Fu or Sun Ce, the situation suddenly revived.

Wu Jun suddenly heard a shocking news that was both expected and unexpected, but it was a re-enactment of real world history. Sun Ce was suddenly assassinated while preparing for war. As expected, it was because this was a fact of real world history; what was unexpected was because of the interference of various external factors from the Supreme Sacred Gate of Black Rock City, Sun Ce was still assassinated and killed.

Wei Dongsheng sighed.

Sun Ce, he died too early. Sun Ce swept through the counties of Yangzhou in just a few years. If he had not died young, it would be difficult for Guangling County of Xuzhou to contain his pace. Think about it, the battle of Guandu between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao is fought fiercely, and Sun Ce suddenly took Jianghuai's sharp soldiers north to Xuzhou. What will it be like? Even if Sun Ce is unable to rebuild Kyushu, he will drastically change the historical trend of the Three Kingdoms.

It's a pity, dead is dead.

Sun Ceying died young, and Sun Quan hurriedly succeeded him. Just how to appease the soldiers and generals in various places is a great challenge to Sun Quan's wisdom. For example, in the history of the real world, Sun Ce appointed Li Shu as Lujiang Prefect. After Sun Quan succeeded to the throne, Li Shu raised the anti-flag soon. Sun Quan, who hurriedly succeeded to the throne, had no energy to lead his army in the Northern Expedition, nor could he participate in the battle between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao in the Central Plains.

In other words, this is one of Wei Dongsheng's confidence.

For a feudal separatist regime such as the Sun Clan in Jiangdong, the hope of rising fragilely rests on Sun Ce. If Wei Dongsheng and Sun Ce smashed their faces and assassinated Sun Ce, Sun Quan, Sun Yi, Sun Kuang and other brothers at one time, the Sun regime would inevitably fall into cruel civil strife. How could it be that they would spend their energy going deep into the heart of Dabie Mountain to attack the Supreme Gate of Heishi City.

The current situation is here for the time being.

Sun Ce was assassinated and Jiang Dong's spirit suddenly stagnated.

Considering the advantages and disadvantages of Sun Quan and Liu Fu, Wei Dongsheng decisively chose Liu Fu to stand in the team. Considering that Sun Quan was busy pacifying Sun Ce's legacy and Cao Cao was busy fighting Yuan Shao in a decisive battle against the Central Plains, Huainan's current power vacuum could last at least a few years. In the next few years, not only will there be no warlords such as Cao Cao and Sun Quan in Lujiang County, there will also be no small local warlords such as Yuan Shu and Liu Xun to contain the ultimate gate of Heishicheng. In that case, Wei Dongsheng might as well seize the power of Lujiang County.

After thinking about it for a while, Wei Dongsheng prepared to ask Lu Kang to come out and take the post of Lujiang Prefect.

Lu Kang is the predecessor Lujiang prefect. He has enemies with Yuan Shu and Sun Ce and should be able to win the trust of Cao Cao and Liu Fu. As long as Cao Cao and Liu Fu are willing to acquiesce in Lu Kang's appointment as Lujiang Prefect, Wei Dongsheng will be able to rely on the painstaking management of the Supreme Sacred Gate of Black Rock City for several years to help Lu Kang become the real Lujiang Prefect. Moreover, with the northern logistics support and the military rations of the counties in Beilujiang County, Wei Dongsheng was able to take advantage of the population size of Lujiang County to expand his army, and firmly suppress the strange treasure camp formed by Lujiang Prefect Zhou Yu.

Wei Dongsheng did as he thought of it, and discussed it with Lu Kang the next day.

Unfortunately, Lu Kang was somewhat reluctant.

Lu Kang is 74 years old this year. He is old and his heart is old. Since the fusion of the seeds of longevity in 190, Lukang's cell turnover has stagnated at the age of 63, with neither continued aging nor rejuvenation. Perhaps the 63-year-old body is old enough. After Lu Kang's appointment, he is still not happy. Except for a few people, he spends half of his time between books and books, and half of his energy is used to understand the magical effect of inner strength. For a year or two, Lu Kang slowly got used to such a slow-paced life.

Lu Kang did not want to serve as Lujiang prefect.

there are many reasons.

For one reason, Lu Kang clearly understands that his character and abilities are not suitable for troubled times. For ordinary bandits and bandits, Lu Kang has the confidence to negotiate an extermination, but if he suddenly faces a hero like Sun Ce, he can only do nothing. Even many current heroes who are weaker than Sun Ce, such as Liu Xun, such as Liu Yao, such as Tai Shici, such as Chen Deng, and Lu Kang, are not confident enough to compete with them. If Lu Kang rashly becomes Lujiang prefect, the great probability waiting for him will be another Shu County fiasco.

Furthermore, Lu Kang also knew his place in Wei Dongsheng's heart.

Lu Kang did not have the confidence to compete with Sun Ce, and knew that Wei Dongsheng did not believe that he could compete with Sun Ce. Simply talk to Wei Dongsheng, Lu Kang quickly understood what Wei Dongsheng really meant. Wei Dongsheng did not sincerely respect him, the former Lujiang prefect, but wanted to use Lu Kang's fame to rule the counties of Lujiang County. To put it simply, Wei Dongsheng wants Lu Kang to be a puppet. In the future, Lu Kang will have a prefect, and the military, political and civilian power will be in Wei Dongsheng's hands.

Who wants to be a puppet!

Lu Kang was even a little embarrassed into anger: "In your eyes, am I just a puppet?"

However, Lu Kang did not simply and decisively reject Wei Dongsheng.

Because Lu Kang has Lu Kang's weakness, and Wei Dongsheng grasped Lu Kang's weakness.

Lu Kang has two weaknesses, one is afraid of death, and the other is family care.

Teenagers tend to despise life and death, and as they grow older, the closer they are to death, the more and more fearful of death. Lu Kang used to claim that he had a very good temperament training, and initially he even insisted on the idea that "people are inherently dead" and was willing to coexist and die with Lujiang County. But when a glimmer of longevity was placed in front of him, Lu Kang suddenly lost his peace of mind and thoughts. If he could live a long life for one hundred and fifty years or even five hundred years, who would want to "definitely die"?

When there is no hope of longevity, Lu Kang can calmly face death; with the hope of longevity, Lu Kang is not willing to lose the hope of longevity.

In other words, with more and more research results on the different treasures of heaven and earth, more and more immortals and non-immortals are aware of the surprising fact that "refining the different treasures can improve the cultivation level" (killing upgrade). If you want to increase your cultivation as quickly as possible, you must integrate different treasures in an orderly manner. It is a pity that the power of distribution of other treasures in Lujiang County is in the hands of the Jue Sage Sect, which is precisely in the hands of Wei Dongsheng.

Since Lu Kang came to Heishicheng, he relied on his 2,000-shi prefect qualifications, and he was totally unwilling to work under Wei Dongsheng. In recent years, Lu Kang has made himself a high-ranking official, carefully nurturing young children one after another, placing his hopes on the next generation. This way of life must be very free, but don't want to integrate into the order of the Supreme Sacred Gate, let alone accumulate contributions to get Wei Dongsheng's strange treasures. When Lu Kang learned about the hot news that "refining exotic treasures can improve cultivation", he was already far away from the core of Absolute Sacred Gate.

Fortunately, Lu Kang has arranged Lu Xun's move.

Lu Kang walked away from the edge of the Sacred Gate, but could learn a lot of non-secret information through Lu Xun. Through Lu Xun, Lu Kang knew that the details of refining foreign treasures are very cumbersome. Animal-type foreign treasures are best refined, plant-type foreign treasures are more difficult to refine, and non-life type foreign treasures are the most difficult to refine.

A digression, an interruption.

The reason for this difference is that Lu Xun and other longevity people can't see the details of the longevity seeds like Wei Dongsheng. Wei Dongsheng can easily "kill" all forms of immortals, while the indigenous immortals such as Lu Xun have difficulty killing stone immortals and metal immortals with unobvious life characteristics, or they don't know how to thoroughly." Kill the stubborn and metal immortal.
