Lu Xun spoke, causing everyone in the hall who was still discussing heatedly to quiet down.
Although the people of the mountains are not as aggressive and unruly as the Qiang, Wuhuan and Xiongnu in the north, they are not bad at all.
For so many years in the Han Dynasty, generations of people went south to reclaim the wasteland. Eventually, they all ended up in central Fujian. The two counties of Cangwu were in the same mountains and Vietnam and attacked each other. It was hard to say whether they would win or lose.
The miasma was widespread in the south, and although the northerners were strong, they could not use it. When Xu Gong came to power and became the prefect of Wu County, the mountains invaded the Han Dynasty, and the disaster became more severe.
The threats from the east of the Yangtze River were all in the north, and Xu Gong was unable to advance southward. In order to have no worries, he and Shanyue made an alliance similar to the later Xiangshui Alliance.
Before Sima Yi pledged his oath to Luoshui and changed his hands to break the alliance, the land of Kyushu officially formed an alliance with considerable restrictions.
Ordinary aristocratic families care most about their reputation and are afraid of ruining their reputation and breaking their oaths. Of course they do happen, but they do it in a subtle way.
After Lu Xun finished speaking, everyone was silent, but Sun Quan raised the corners of his mouth and took a deep look at Lu Boyan, who was about the same age as him in the hall.
"What is Xu Gong? He communicates with the barbarians in the mountains, which is the way to death!"
"The barbarian land in the south is a major political issue in Jiangdong. Today, all families are doing well. Regardless of whether the Xu family or other families dare to stand in front of my brother, they will be the sworn enemies of my Sun family!"
"All the families can attack together, and the wealth of each family will be distributed like grain and fodder!"
Arrogant, violent, and without basic emotions towards the world.
Lu Xun looked at Sun Quan and instantly saw the soul of the young man in front of him.
He was right. Sun Quan, who broke the Wu-Shu alliance and became violent in his later years, was so cold in his bones.
All the compromises he made to the aristocratic family were for the Sun family to stand firm in Jiangdong.
Not thinking about the northern land, looking forward to the eternal town of Jiangdong. At this time, it was Sun Quan's creed.
His words made the scene in the hall become heated.
How to define whether a supporter supports the Southern Expedition? How to define whether we are the enemy or not in the battle in the mountains can all be decided by the four families here.
This is not about conquering the barbarians. This is approved by the Sun family. It is another reshuffle of the Jiangdong pattern and the establishment of the pyramid structure of Jiangdong.
Compared to Sun Ce who liked to beat the children of aristocratic families and violently kill, Sun Quan was even more cruel.
Of course, Gu, Zhang, and Zhu all admired this ruthlessness. Even Lu Xun had to admit that the young man in front of him was a rare political animal.
"Young Lord, that's it!"
"The grain my lord requires is Dingkou. We will have it ready within half a month!"
"There is no need to do farming this autumn. The mountains produce gold and silver, and the barbarian girls are pretty. People in the north have always liked the maids and servants in the mountains. They come much faster than farming!"
"Young lord, just looking at our actions, what does it mean to offer tribute? If I had known better, I should have urged Sun Lang to kill this person first!"
The cake distribution plan has been announced, and everyone in the family has begun to show their loyalty.
Even Jian Yong and Zhang Zhao felt that the smiling and shy blue-eyed kid in front of them was much easier to deal with than Sun Ce.
An idea flashed through everyone's minds almost at the same time.
If Sun Ce were not around and Sun Quan was in charge of Jiangdong, the big family in Wu County would probably have a much easier time.
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting better, Sun Quan stopped caring about political affairs, clapped his hands, and the beautiful maids filed in behind the tent, with their hands full of fine wine from the mountains.
Most of these maidservants were slaves from the south, and their beauty and charm were indeed different from those of the Han women from the Central Plains.
While pushing cups and changing cups, Sun Quan was chatting and laughing happily. When he got off his seat, the twelve young men had already become one with the wealthy family.
Among the crowd, there was only Lu Xun, whose heart seemed to be blocked. He sighed softly and looked at the sky outside the tent, Jiangdong, which was already covered in blood.
Lu Xun suddenly wanted Sun Ce to return here quickly. The reckless man who killed his grandfather at least paid homage to Lu Kang's tomb with Zhou Yu afterwards.
Compared with Sun Quan hiding in the water, like a crocodile in the river, Sun Ce's tiger power is not so scary.
In Jiangdong, Sun Quan seized the opportunity to win over people's hearts. Xuchang, Sun Ce and others have been here for more than 20 days.
After all, Sun Ce was the lord of Jiangdong, and even Zhou Yu felt uneasy after being away from Kuaiji for such a long time, and urged Bo Fu to leave.
Sun Ce's original intention was to grab Fang Guang and beat him up to vent his anger, and then quickly left with Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao.
But to do this, Fang Datong must first stay away from the guards. It is best to leave Xuchang City and appear outside the city with not many followers around.
What's more important is that when Fang Guang goes out of the city, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao must be by Fang Guang's side.
The chances of achieving such conditions are so slim that even a rugged and optimistic person like Sun Ce is almost in despair.
The little bully from Jiangdong wanted to set fire to Xuchang so that the heroes could take revenge. When it was not too late in ten years, when he had accumulated his troops and wanted to beg for beauties again, Fang Guang suddenly gave him a chance.
First, Huang Gai, who monitors Fang Guang every day in front of Fang Guang's residence, reported back. In the past few days, Fang Guang often went out of the city to do work with his entourage and an ox cart himself.
Before that, there were more soldiers in Xuchang City, who sent thick bamboos, wooden barrels, and a lot of wine lees to Fang Guang's mansion, which would emit a pungent smell even from a long distance away.
Huang Gai reported this matter to Sun Ce, and everyone in Jiangdong thought that Fang Guang was brewing a good wine and hiding it for himself.
On this day, just when Zhou Yu and Sun Ce were persuading him again, Huang Gai suddenly returned to the mansion that everyone bought, his face full of excitement.
"My lord, Gong Jin, moved. Today, little thief Fang moved again!"
"Not only Fang Guang also went to the north of the city, everyone in his mansion also moved. In front of the door, I saw an ox cart going north. Miss Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao, and Cai Yan were all in the cart!"
"What? The two girls have left the house? Can you see clearly?"
"You can see clearly, Miss Xiao Qiao, she even stuck her head out of the car window and played with grass stems in the water, just like she did in Kuaiji. I will never be wrong!"
Han Dang was mature and cautious and asked one more question. Huang Gai banged his chest and thought wildly.
"Okay, God has mercy on me. I'm going to get sick from boredom in this place!"
"The opportunity has come today. Go and prepare your weapons. How many followers does Fang Guang bring? Is that white-robed Changshan Zhao Zilong here?"
"My lord, I looked specifically and found that the man with the silver spear and white armor was not there that day! There was only a greasy middle-aged man beside Fang Guang, and a retinue of the captain who was covered in tattoos and behaved frivolously."
"Well, okay, I know that the greasy middle-aged man is a member of the Yellow Turbans. You can deal with this kind of thing!"
"Captain Tattoo, I have beaten many people like this in Yuan Shu's army. Let's go. I heard that Fang Guang and Lu Bu can still be beaten a few times. Today, I will try this boy's quality!"
"Da Qiao, Xiao Qiao, I will knock down this liar in front of you. Then you two will know who is the great man in the world!"
Sun Ce's mouth twitched, he took the short halberd from the corner and rushed into the courtyard.
In the eastern part of the Yangtze River, someone had already prepared horses, a group of four generals, and dozens of elite soldiers. They were still wearing cloth robes and their armor was hidden in packages. Like merchants, they followed the lord directly out of the city.
