Chapter 283 The Secret History of Jiangdong, the Sun brothers fell in love and killed each other
Today, the sky above Guangxin City in Cangwu County is covered with dark clouds and strong winds.
The rain became heavier and heavier, becoming more and more violent.
The dark clouds were rolling and galloping, coming from all directions, piling up in piles, getting denser and denser, like thousands of troops pressing down on the roof.
This oppression also brought an extra sense of depression and heaviness to the atmosphere in the room.
This was the third time that Lu Xun and his wife sat in the wing with his "brother-in-law" Sun Shao and Tai Shi Ci's son Tai Shi Xiang.
Four square bamboo mats, four plans...
The faces of the four people are also completely different.
This was also the third time that Lu Xun had a conversation with them around that extremely sensitive topic. It was a secret that was buried deep in the Jiangdong underground and no one could approach.
Both - the truth behind the deaths of "Sun Ce", "Zhou Yu" and "Tai Shi Ci"...
By extension, it is the truth about the death or dethronement of eight important ministers who were either dead or imprisoned during the ten years since Sun Quan took the throne!
Considering that the people Lu Xun was talking about were Sun Shao, Tai Shixiang, and his wife Sun Ru, this topic was extremely sensitive.
And often in Soochow, those who are involved in these, or know some rumors, often remain silent on this topic and remain tight-lipped!
The same was true for Lu Xun yesterday and the day before yesterday. He still hesitated again and again... and did not confess the truth.
But today, he completely figured it out.
There is no point in holding on to these truths anymore.
From the moment he broke up with Sun Quan, the truth was destined to surface.
Regarding Sun Ce's death, the official statement is that he was assassinated by Xu Gong's three disciples;
As for the death of Zhou Yu and Taishi Ci, the official statement is exactly the same - they died of illness;
But actually…
The assassination was true, and the death from illness was true, but this process was full of cunning tricks and conspiracies...
The origin of all this begins with the attack on Lujiang County by Sun Ce and Sun Bofu, the little overlords of Jiangdong who were still serving Yuan Shu.
Not to mention, the governor of Lujiang was Lu Kang, the third eldest son of the Lu family. Sun Ce captured Lujiang and killed half of the Lu family.
Just talking about the so-called spoils after conquering Lujiang, including Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao from Wan County of Lujiang!
The world only knows that there are Erqiao in Jiangdong and Zhen Miqiao in Hebei.
It is known that after the attack on Lujiang, the "beautiful" Sun Ce and the "beautiful Zhou Lang" Zhou Yu took Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao as their concubines, but few people know that at that time, Sun Ce, who was his favorite brother and a madman, also made the decision.
The most beautiful "step trainer" among the "trophies" was taken to Jiangdong and betrothed to Sun Quan.
In his early years, Sun Quan did not like his first wife, Mrs. Xie, so he favored Bu Lianshi and loved him very much.
All stories begin with the capture of Lujiang, and with Sun Ce, Zhou Yu, and Sun Quan recruiting Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao, and Bu Lianshi respectively.
After getting married, Sun Ce and Zhou Yu soon joined the battle in Jiangdong.
It is no exaggeration to say that in order to get rid of Yuan Shu's control, Sun Ce spared no effort. The entire six counties of Jiangdong were fought with swords and guns by him and Huaisi's civil and military forces. 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 remained.
But Sun Ce never cared about this. He just wanted to use his domineering and bravery to make these big families surrender completely and shut their mouths forever.
only…
At that time, Sun Quan had already seen the hidden dangers of his eldest brother's bloody suppression...
Hatred cannot be suppressed by tyranny. Hatred will penetrate deep into the soil like roots...and then sprout even greater hatred!
Therefore, for the sake of the Sun family's foundation, Sun Quan began to contact these aristocratic families in Soochow at the age of fifteen.
Whenever Sun Ce was in conflict with these powerful clans, it was Sun Quan who came forward to make peace...
Sun Quan can always come up with solutions acceptable to both parties.
Gradually, these wealthy families in Soochow began to express their opinions.
——Even if the Sun family is destined to rule Jiangdong, they still hope that Sun Quan will rule.
This is easy to understand.
If Sun Ce's powerful faction and the Huaisi people are invaders, then Sun Quan is more like a person who can maintain the stability of Jiangdong. People who can consider and weigh from the perspective of big families like them can check and balance it, so that all parties can
A person who is satisfied with all the forces!
Of course, Sun Quan only listened to these words and did not take them seriously.
Next, three major events happened in Soochow. To be precise, Sun Ce killed three important people regardless of the dissuasion of the wealthy family, civil and military officials, and the common people...
One is Xu Gong, who is in Wu Ying but his heart is in Cao;
The second is the demagogue Taoist Yu Ji;
The third is Gao Dai, a hermit from Yuyao, Jiangdong;
Xu Gong died because he secretly communicated with Cao Cao and his memorial to the court was intercepted by Sun Ce;
Yu Ji died because he incited the people and deceived people's hearts;
Gao Dai died because Sun Ce felt that this man looked down on him!
At this point, Lu Xun began to shake his head. It was obvious that there was a huge hidden secret in this.
He changed the topic 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 Soochow families, including our Lu family, had already started plotting to get rid of them.
Sun Ce...supported Sun Quan to ascend to power!"
yes…
Xu Gong wrote a letter to Cao Cao, saying that Sun Ce was the most brave in the world, and if he allowed his power to grow, he would eventually become a big trouble...
He even proposed that Cao Cao summon Sun Ce to the capital by imperial order. Once Sun Ce disobeyed the order, it would be tantamount to resisting the order.
There will be warlords and generals in Jiangdong who follow the emperor's orders and rebel against Sun Ce. Jiangdong, which has been unified by Sun Ce, will fall into division again, and Cao Cao can benefit from it.
I have to say that this letter from Xu Gong is a poisonous plan...
But why did this memorial fall into Sun Ce’s hands?
How could it be so careless and such a coincidence?
This is because it was the wealthy people in Wu County who got the news and leaked the "report". They made a plan to force Sun Ce to kill the famous scholar Xu Gong!
Sun Ce chilled the hearts of all Jiangdong celebrities.
As for Yu Ji, he incited the people and confused their hearts...
This is no longer a matter of one or two days.
During the Yellow Turban Uprising, Yu Ji was preaching in Jiangdong. Although he was not a Yellow Turban Army, he was still pretty much the same... After more than ten years, he is still doing this in Jiangdong as usual? And he is supported by all the people?
Why did it suddenly hit Sun Ce's gun?
This was also a plan jointly arranged by the four major families to let Sun Ce kill Yu Ji, so that Sun Ce and the Huai Si expedition faction completely lost the support of the people.
There is also the famous 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, he told Sun Ce, "Gao Dai thinks that you are more than capable in martial arts but not in literary talent. If you tell him Zuo Zhuan, if he replies that he doesn't understand, it means he looks down on you!"
He also said to Gao Dai, Sun Ce is a man who doesn't like others to surpass him. If he asks you about "Zuo Zhuan", you just say you don't know, and that is what he wants. It would be dangerous if you talk to him about difficult matters
Got it!"
So Sun Ce and Gao Dai discussed "Zuo Zhuan", and Gao Dai repeatedly replied that he didn't know and didn't understand.
Sun Ce thought Gao Dai looked down on him, so he got angry and first arrested him and then killed him!
Everything is a conspiracy!
"Alas..." Lu Xun let out a long sigh, "The death of a well-known celebrity, a Taoist beloved by the people, and a respected hermit is enough to set off the entire Jiangdong movement against Sun Ce and the conquest of Huaisi.
Denounce... Next, capture the thief and capture the king, and the only thing left is to get rid of Sun Ce!"
"So, the four major families in Wu Commandery, 'Gu, Lu, Zhu, and Zhang', and the four major families in Kuaiji, 'Yu, Wei, Kong, and Xie' worked together to formulate a plan. We relied on our relationship with Sun Quan and pretended to be Sun Quan... to make him reveal it.
He walked out of Sun Ce’s marching route, and asked Sun Quan to write a letter to arrange an appointment with Sun Ce alone in the suburbs..."
Speaking of this, Sun Shao quickly asked: "Sun Quan is my father's younger brother. Blood is thicker than water. If he harms his brother like this, will he do what you, a wealthy family, say?"
Sun Shao and Tai Shixiang had never heard of this incident, and even Sun Ru didn't know that there were so many hidden secrets behind her father's death.
It is true that Sun Ru was in some pain because her husband Lu Xun's hands were stained with blood because of her father's death.
But she knew better that when her father conquered Soochow in the past, countless wealthy clans were massacred by his father, and even half of Boyan's clan members died in his hands.
Boyan couldn't help himself, and among the four major families in Wu County, the leader of the Lu family, Lu Jixin, died at that time, and half of the Lu family had lost their lives. Boyan was so young, so what qualifications did he have to dominate all this?
Lu Xun said calmly: "Yes! Because the four major families in Wu County controlled Bu Lianshi, and the Bu Lianshi at that time was still pregnant... In addition, what the four major families in Wu County told Sun Quan was not
They wanted to assassinate Sun Ce, but they wanted 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 was just words to deceive Sun Quan!"
Sun Shao's left hand was held on his right wrist, his expression was quite peaceful, but his face was pale and he was breathing heavily.
Tai Shixiang still looked as usual, cold and cold, with no emotion in his eyes. He didn't even forget to add a sentence.
"At that time, Sun Zhongmou had already been integrated with the four major families. He had his own power and his own supporters. If he said that he did not know the intentions of the four major families at all, and if he said that he had no intention of harming his brother, I, Tai Shixiang, would categorically reject it.
Those who don’t believe it.”
"Anyway..." Lu Xun raised the tea cup, and his voice came slowly through the cold tea, "In short, Sun Ce was assassinated by Xu Gong's three disciples, but among them, including us Lu
Within the family, all four major families in Wu County were involved... From then on, Sun Quan became the leader supported by the major families in Wu County, and became the general who suppressed the captives of the tens of thousands of Sun family troops..."
At this point, Lu Xun paused for a moment, pondered deeply, and then continued.
"As for Sun Quan, he has always had some kind of agreement with our four major families in Wu County and the four major families in Kuaiji. This agreement is not a contract on paper, but more like an unwritten agreement, or in other words, it is made with some people
His life is exchanged for the unstinting support of Sun Quan, the great clan like us!"
"And this agreement is to bloodbath those people from the Huaisi Expedition who once followed Sun Ce and whose hands are stained with the blood of Jiangdong clan members!"
Following Lu Xun's words, he blurted out.
Sun Shao, Sun Ru, and Tai Shixiang were stunned on the spot.
Just at this time, the night wind outside the window was so strong that it extinguished the candles in the house. The wings of night covered the place, bringing the ultimate "darkness" and "quietness".
Wait until Lu Xun lights the candle again...
Sun Shao, Sun Ru, and Tai Shixiang all seemed to understand.
yes…
Whether it is Xu Kun, Sun Quan’s cousin and father-in-law, or his uncle Wu Jing;
Whether it is Sun Yi, Sun Quan's third younger brother, or Taishi Ci, who rules the entire southern part of Yangzhou;
Whether it is his eldest cousin Sun Bi, or Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin who rose to fame in the Battle of Chibi, or Cheng Pu who was inexplicably deprived of military power and placed in Jiangxia south of the Yangtze River for retirement... as well as the two people who found correspondence with Cao Cao
Cousin Sun Fu!
Why did they die? Why were they deposed? Why were they eliminated?
This is because they all once bloody suppressed the Soochow clan together with Sun Ce, and their hands are covered with the blood of these clans!
Sun Ru tried hard not to associate her father's death with Boyan, she just said lightly.
"No wonder, at that time, Zhang Zhao and Zhang Changshi supported his third uncle Sun Yi as the leader of Jiangdong... He also said that his third uncle was more like his father. It seems that he is not like his father, but that the faction supported by his third uncle is the same as his father's! No wonder,
Since Sun Quan succeeded to the throne, my mother and younger brother were sent to Jiaozhou and imprisoned... No wonder so many turmoils occurred in Jiangdong in the past ten years and so many people died!"
Following Sun Ru's words, Sun Shao and Tai Shixiang's eyes narrowed deeply.
Lu Xun's words were just like what they both believed all along, those "generals" and "important ministers" were really killed by Sun Quan.
As for the reason…
Sun Quan is completely different from his brother Sun Ce. Sun Ce's attack on Jiangdong relied on having the blood of those noble families on his hands.
But the stability of Sun Quan's position relied on the support of aristocratic families such as Soochow.
This is completely different at the strategic level.
And these big families, after they gained power, did not forget their hatred.
Sun Quan's agreement with them explains everything.
——They can accept Sun Quan and the Huaisi people being in power.
——But we can’t forgive those Huaisi people who once had their hands stained with the blood of their own people and bloody suppressed them to survive in this world!
"I finally know..." Tai Shixiang said with emotion: "The same Huaisi faction... why are they divided into the Huaisi expedition faction headed by Zhou Yu and the Huaisi exile faction headed by Lu Su... The difference between them lies in whether
Stained with the blood of members of the Kodong family!"
Lu Xun nodded, agreeing with Tai Shixiang's words.
In fact, there is nothing more to say next.
From motives, from support behind, from factional struggles, from checks and balances...
From all dimensions, it can be determined that "these people" died in the hands of Sun Quan.
"In the past two days, I haven't told you all the truth because..." Lu Xun's eyes turned to Sun Ru, "My Lu Xun's hands, or the hands of the Lu family in Wu County are not clean. I'm worried that I will tell the truth.
Later, my wife will be prejudiced against me!"
"It's not your fault..." Before Lu Xun could finish speaking, Sun Ru interrupted: "I was not married to Boyan at that time, and Boyan was just the acting patriarch of the Lu family, and he was still young... Besides, his father also killed
He has killed more than half of the Lu family... At the level of the four major families, Boyan can't change anything."
Lu Xun was moved by Sun Ru's words. He pondered for a moment before he opened his mouth and said, "If Sun Quan hadn't instructed Lu Meng to stab me in the back, I would have buried this secret forever in my heart and would not have told it no matter how coerced or induced.
…but now…”
"That's it...that's it..." Sun Shao was already a little excited.
He went over Lu Xun's words completely in his mind.
Understood!
Now I understand everything and all the doubts have been solved.
Sun Shao raised his head to meet Lu Xun's tired eyes, and asked: "Brother-in-law, I want to thank you, on behalf of my mother, on behalf of my sister, and on behalf of all the people of Jiangdong, you are the one who made this truth come to light...
Let Sun Quan’s shameless behavior come to light!”
Speaking of this, Sun Shao's tone became more serious.
"As my sister said, this has nothing to do with you. Our only enemy is Sun Quan. It was he who chose to kill and depose the brothers who followed his father. It was he who dyed the blood of Soochow completely red. It was also he who chose to please Wu Commandery.
The aristocratic family, all the killings... If there is one person who should be responsible, who should bear our resentment, who should die... then... that must be Sun Quan!"
Sun Shao said this...
Tai Shixiang nodded heavily. He did not speak, but his expression and movements showed that he was determined to continue on the path of destroying "Sun Quan"!
Of course Lu Xun understood their determination. He stood up slowly, looked deeply at Sun Ru, and then walked to the window to look at the dark sky.
He still had something to say...but he had said enough for today.
"What are you going to do next, brother-in-law? Why not... join us, Hongyan, and let's overthrow the rule of Sun Quan! Let the evildoers be punished!"
Sun Shao suddenly suggested.
"——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 in battle, but his scheming, his tactics, his checks and balances, his mental skills... are far better than
You are a hundred times more powerful and a hundred times more ruthless than you imagine... Hongyan alone, if there is no other external support, confronting Sun Quan is no less than digging a tree and digging his own grave!"
"What about brother-in-law? What are your plans?"
Sun Shao asked this question again.
Lu Xun said quietly, "How do I have any choice now? My plan, haha..."
At this point, he showed a bit of self-mockery in his words: "My plan should be someone... I hope my plan is——"
This person naturally refers to Guan Lin.
Lu Xun's eyes showed the same "wiseness" as always.
Since the fire that Sun Quan ordered Lu Meng to start, he, Lu Xun, these 30,000 Lu family troops, and the 100,000 Lu family members and family members who are still far away in Wu County...
Their wealth and life, their happiness, misfortune and well-being... it is no longer up to him, Lu Xun, to decide!
"well--"
"well--"
A deep sigh resounded from Lu Xun's heart.
He also wants to know, next... what will he and Lu Jiajun do?
What can I do——
But it was Sun Ru who suddenly thought of something because of her husband's words.
Her pupils widened, and she looked at her beloved brother, "Bo Yan just said that if there is no support behind Hongyan, he will dig his own grave by shaking the tree! But..."
Sun Ru pursed her lips and suppressed her emotions, "Who said there is no support behind Hongyan? If it were him...he could support Hongyan!"
"He?" Sun Shao and Tai Shixiang looked confused.
Sun Ru said firmly, "It's Guan Lin, Guan Yunqi, the Fourth Young Master of Guan. Now...my mother is in Jiangling, under his protection. If not for fate, how could I have met my mother?"
Sun Ru looked at Lu Xun, "Sooner or later, Boyan is going to defect to the Fourth Young Master Guan. How about Hongyan also defecting to the Fourth Young Master Guan? How about dealing with that Sun Quan, if it is him... he will definitely be more confident!"
——"Fourth Young Master Guan?"
At this moment, Sun Shao and Tai Shixiang looked at each other...
What the gleam in their eyes reveals is:
——"As long as Sun Quan can be ruined, as long as he can be punished for his evil deeds... As for who is defecting? It doesn't matter at all!"
at this time.
A knock on the door sounded.
"General Lu, Mr. Yunqi has brought a letter, an open letter and a pressed letter..."
It’s Han Xuan…
Even though he is separated by a door, even though he is over sixty years old, his voice is still loud and sonorous.
"From now on, I also have two identities. One is the identity sent by Young Master Yunqi to help General Lu rescue one hundred thousand tribesmen, and the other is the messenger who negotiates with General Lu on behalf of the Sun-Liu Alliance!"
"Haha... I should be able to save my nose and ears!"
