When Cao Cao heard the report from his chamberlain, he was immediately embarrassed.
Just said there is no news.
The news is coming.
However, Cao Cao was also excited. He put down the wine bottle in his hand and looked at Lu Xuan, waiting for Lu Xuan's arrangements.
Lu Xuan was also curious about the news about Sun Quan and ordered: "Pass it on!"
The chamberlain went to inform, and not long after, Gu Yong hurriedly entered the hall and noticed Lu Xuan and Cao Cao drinking.
Gu Yong saluted Lu Xuan and reported: "Your Majesty, Sun Quan has arranged for an envoy to come and ask for an audience. This person's name is Zhu Zhi, and he is outside the palace. The minister saw Zhu Zhi's expression and was very anxious, so he asked briefly.
It was Sun Quan who sent him to ask for help."
Lu Xuan raised his eyebrows.
Somewhat unexpected.
Sun Quan took Zhu Zhi, an old man from the Sun family, to Japan for many years. It stands to reason that with an old man like Zhu Zhi here and rich in experience, there would be no problem in running the army or governing the local area.
However, Sun Quan was defeated.
Lu Xuan asked: "Brother-in-law, if I remember correctly, you have been in contact with Sun Quan over the years and are responsible for giving them some weapons, right?"
Gu Yong explained: "According to His Majesty's plan back then, although we discovered Sun Quan's whereabouts, there was no need to directly eliminate it. We used Sun Quan to develop the Japanese country so that we could seize it in the future. Therefore, we privately sold some weapons and grain and the quantity was
Quite a few.”
Lu Xuan was even more confused.
The current Japanese state is an environment where people live like nothing but blood. Although the queen of the Japanese state has some abilities, she is actually pitifully weak.
The country of Japan is a piece of loose sand.
Under such a premise, there is no one in the Japanese country who can compete with Sun Quan. Even if Sun Quan is not very strong, but he is so weak, he will be beaten from the perspective of Lu Xuan. If Sun Quan goes to the Japanese country, he should be the local
The strong man is now being suppressed.
Lu Xuan guessed that maybe the Japanese country had also changed.
Lu Xuan's heart suddenly became urgent and he said: "Pass an edict to summon Zhu Zhi to see him."
The chamberlain went to deliver the order.
Not long after, a tired-looking Zhu Zhi appeared. He had gray hair, was dressed in coarse linen clothes, and his back was slightly stooped. At first glance, he looked like an old man in his sixties.
In fact, Zhu Zhi was only in his forties.
Getting old too fast.
After Zhu Zhi stood still, he glanced at Lu Xuan, with a touch of emotion in his eyes. When he left with Sun Quan and others, Lu Xuan was just a flutter in Yangzhou. Compared with Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, he was very weak.
local power.
It was judged back then that it was good for Lu Xuan to establish a foothold in Yangzhou. In the blink of an eye, Lu Xuan was able to dominate the world and directly founded the country and proclaimed himself emperor.
Zhu Zhi bowed and said: "My Excellency, Zhu Zhi, pays homage to His Majesty the Ming Emperor."
Lu Xuan nodded slightly, looked at the old Zhu Zhi, and said, "Zhu Zhi, after all these years, have you ever regretted escaping with Sun Quan and others?"
Zhu Zhi lost his mind for a moment.
Do you regret it?
Zhu Zhi didn't know what to say in his heart. When he dreamed back at midnight, he had thought about everything in his hometown and how wonderful it would be for the fallen leaves to return to their roots. However, he could not live up to the expectations of his old protagonist Sun Jian, so even though he had some regrets, he still
Still chose to persevere.
This is his own choice.
Zhu Zhi came back to his senses, with a firm expression on his vicissitudes of life, and said: "Now that I have made a choice, there is no room for regret. It is obviously inappropriate to judge the original choice based on the current situation, and to infer the original decision based on the results."
Lu Xuan said: "You are open-minded!"
Zhu Zhi changed the topic and said seriously: "I am returning to the Central Plains this time to ask for help from Your Majesty. I beg Your Majesty to send troops to help."
Lu Xuan looked curious and said: "What happened to the Japanese country and you actually asked for help?"
Zhu Zhi replied: "Reporting to your Majesty, our army progressed smoothly in the Japanese country at first, without encountering any obstacles, and steadily engulfed the Japanese area. Because the place we encountered was too barren and wild."
"Because of the remoteness and barrenness of the place, we cannot expand quickly and can only strengthen it step by step. Unexpectedly, at the beginning of this year, we just expanded further and went beyond our range and encountered an elite group of Japanese troops."
"This elite group is all armed with sophisticated weapons and wearing armor."
"The key is that these people are not afraid of death."
"This group of people are not the kind of Japanese people we met. They all look like they are eating blood. This group of Japanese people are not as disheveled as the Japanese people in the mountains, or have their own characteristics like other small tribes and small countries."
"The hair of all Japanese people is shaved cleanly from the forehead to the top of the head, like a half-moon, and the hair on the temples and back can be combed into a bun."
Zhu Zhi also had a trace of emotion in his eyes and said: "The key is that these Japanese have their own language and a unified military formation, and they are completely obedient to orders and prohibitions. Even if they are allowed to die, these people will not blink an eyebrow."
Lu Xuan's eyes were thoughtful.
The half-moon hairstyle with a bald head is referred to as Mediterranean.
This was popular in the Edo period and was the most popular hairstyle during the Tokugawa shogunate period.
Lu Xuan asked: "What is the name of the enemy you encountered?"
Zhu Zhi replied: "According to the prisoners captured after we fought with the opponent, the opponent's commander was named Tokugawa Ieyasu, who claimed to be the Emperor of Japan. The most important point is that the Japanese soldiers were very fond of this so-called Emperor of Japan, Tokugawa Ieyasu.
He was so enthusiastic that Tokugawa Ieyasu was an emperor who was omniscient, omnipotent, and as divine as a god."
Lu Xuan thought as expected.
Changes have occurred in Europe and America, and so has the Japanese state. Perhaps this is the influence of his time travel. No, it should be that the parallel world is different, because according to time inference, the changes in Europe and America were earlier.
A flash of light flashed across Lu Xuan's eyes, and strong murderous intent rose from his body.
Japanese country?
If it was a primitive Japanese country, Lu Xuan didn't need to worry about it. He only needed to arrange a general to lead the army across the sea, and he could sweep the Japanese country and crush it all the way. Now that Tokugawa Ieyasu has appeared, everything is more interesting.
It's fun to kill!
Lu Xuan's change surprised Cao Cao.
Lu Xuan rarely showed such murderous intent when he saw him. As Lu Xuan became more and more high-ranking, he was more engaged in top-level structures. For example, this time Lu Xuan was going to set up the Metropolitan Governor's Office and reorganize the civil service.
system.
Lu Xuan now feels excited, excited, and murderous.
Confusing?
Cao Cao was wondering, could it be that Lu Xuan and Tokugawa Ieyasu have a grudge?
However, Lu Xuan never left at all.
Cao Cao was confused and didn't understand it for the time being, so he could only wait and see what happened.
Lu Xuan keenly noticed Cao Cao's expression. He looked at Zhu Zhi again and said in a deep voice: "Zhu Zhi, you just said that Tokugawa Ieyasu appeared. So, have the soldiers ever said how many times Tokugawa Ieyasu has been in power in Japan?
