The entire negotiation process was a bit tortuous. After walking through the urgent process of Wanshiwu, he went back and forth for more than 20 days, mainly as the first month approached, so he had to temporarily stop the army. The court gave a bottom line and sent Gu Yong and Lu Xun to negotiate.

"It's worthy of Yuan Tan. After several years of office, he has become even more sharp-tongued." Lu Xun shook his head. Gu Lu, Zhu Wei, the four major tyrants in Wu County, have a close relationship and have some marriages. Gu Yong had met Lu Xun in the early years.

Later, I heard that Gu Yong accepted the imperial enthronement and went to Xudu to become an official. Unexpectedly, he had not seen each other for a few years and was much more mature in all aspects.

"Xu Du has so many outstanding people. If you can't keep up, you will be thrown away soon. Bo Yan, Jiangdong is just a small pond, you are too wasteful here. I have heard that the court has recruited you twice." Gu Yong looked at Lu Xun. Poaching was also one of her jobs. In fact, this time the court sent her on an envoy to ask Sun Quan for someone.

Lu Meng, Ling Tong and Zhu Huan, of course, all the descendants of the Sun family except Sun Quan were not hostages, but were transferred to Xu Du as an official, military and political affairs, and of course, the descendants of the Sun family would be more restricted.

Lu Xun is not counted as a mission range, but obviously if he can find it, it will be a credit!

"I can't get out of my way, "Lu Xun shook his head. It doesn't matter if she leaves. The question is what to do with the Lu family? The Lu family is relatively small. Her father passed away. Among the uncles, only Lu Ji still has talent... If he can train for a few years, he should be able to keep the family.

There is no way, this uncle Lu Ji is only twelve years old this year, five years younger than her. In fact, even Lu Xun herself is only 17 years old this year (Xu Sui). However, as a woman who is not a returning ancient genus, she has been crowned for two years.

At present, she is in charge of the Lu family, but her uncle is still there, and her niece is not very good at the housekeeper, so in name, the head of the family is still Lu Ji. She wants to let go, at least until Lu Ji is able to take over the Lu family.

As a rich man, Gu Yong knew that she had an older brother and a girl from the same clan. She was already an adult and could stand alone, so she could go to Xudu to become an official without hesitation.

"Well, I won't stop you, but if there is a major event today, no one can stop the rejuvenation of the court. While the court still values ​​you, you might as well go over as soon as possible. This will also be beneficial to your Lu family." Gu Yong reminded.

Even if he is a county magistrate in Danyang County or even a governor in Jiaozhou, he is not as good as a counselor in the capital with only consultant form. At least Zhu Ye is like this.

In the capital, that is the ultimate destination of the career of the officialdom. Even if there are no two or three generations of people and an official in the capital, you will be embarrassed to call him a noble family. After all, you are just a rich man.

"If the lord is willing to surrender, I will naturally follow her... The scholar dies for his confidant, Yuan Tan should know." Lu Xun closed his eyes and said helplessly.

After becoming an official, he should have started as a minor official, so Sun Quan quickly promoted her and trusted her. With the excluding family interests, Lu Xun felt that Sun Quan was the lord worthy of her follow.

"You are still too young..." Gu Yong didn't know what to say. She was 31 this year and was 32 years old. She saw a lot of things, so she wouldn't be so naive. But Lu Xun was only 17 years old, young and innocent, with a passionate heart...

"Probably..." Lu Xun smiled and did not respond.

The negotiations finally ended, and Sun Quan was scared, but he would not send all his family out as hostages. In a dilemma, Sun Ren took the initiative to jump out and go to Xudu as a hostage. At this point, Gu Yong knew that he could not continue to force her. The court sent her down mainly to value her identity as a Wujun native, and Sun Quan also had many wealthy families in Wujun under his command.

Lu Meng said that he would not go north, and in the end Huang Gai took over her. Ling Tong and Zhu Huan had not yet made their mark, and finally agreed to go north. In addition, Sun Ren and Sun Quan's potential were almost all mined.

Jiang Qin surrendered at Gan Ning's call, and Zhou Yu finally returned it to Sun Quan. During the period when she captured her, her body became weaker and weaker. The doctor said that she had severe bleeding during childbirth, and she had already left secret injuries at that time. In addition, she was exhausted, so she probably didn't have much time. Cao Ren was not good at being a bad person, so he sent Zhou Yu back.

By the way, the population of Guangling County, Xuzhou, which Sun Quan captured, was also released.

When the news returned to Xudu, it was already the first day of the New Year. The reply letter was delivered to the palace as soon as possible, and then he had to take a detour and go to Wangjiazhuang. At this time, the village was about to start dinner.

"Oh, there's a truce..." Liu Xie looked at it, then handed the letter to Cao Cao.

"Well, there's a truce." Cao Cao looked at it, but it turned out to be quite satisfied. "If we hadn't had time to deal with Sun Quan with all our might, we wouldn't have let her survive for a while."

"It's only three or five years, she can't make a fuss. Jiangdong's population is a big problem. Even if she is powerful and powerful, she can't fight with us." Wang Yong walked in with the dishes, then took off his apron and chef's hat and put it aside.

"The land route has been lost and the water route is oppressed again. Even if it occupies the three counties, it has no potential to fight with us again." Cao Cao nodded, "The key is Hebei!"

"Is it time to talk about business?" Guan Yu hugged Guan Xing and reminded the two of them.

"Eating first is the most important thing!" Xun Yu added immediately.

"Why is it so rich every year on the first day of the Lunar New Year?" Chen Gong looked at Wang Yong. This year, Wang Yong specially created a foldable dining table for fifteen people to eat. Of course, children make another table.

At the same time, there were guests such as Wei Yan, Xu Shu, Wen Qin, Cai Yan and Lu Bu. Yes, Chen Gong and Lu Lingqi also came over, just like last year.

"Prepare more dishes in the New Year, not only because the first day of the year this year, but also symbolizes that you will continue to be rich this year." Wang Yong replied, "You can also add meals to the servants if you can't finish eating..."

There are so many chefs at home, and the responsibility is to cook for the servants, but the dishes are of course not that good. On the contrary, Wang Yong cooks here personally, and helps the chefs at most.

"Have you ever had such a custom before?" Chen Gong was very confused.

"Is it meaningful?" Cao Cao replied, "There is no habit of celebrating the New Year in other places..."

"That's right..." Chen Gong nodded.

Xu Du didn’t know when he started to have the habit of celebrating the New Year, and began to radiate towards Yingchuan County. He continued to estimate that the entire Yuzhou, and even some Yanzhou counties would have this custom.

"Okay!" Wang Yong sat down, "If you don't talk about business, why don't you have a drink first?"

The girls looked at each other, raised the cups filled with drinks, and shouted: "Cheers!"

Dinner on the first day of the New Year officially begins!
Chapter completed!
