The sky was filled with flames and cries of mourning were everywhere.
The soldiers' swords were ruthlessly raised, and the fresh lives were harvested bloody.
The Lu family in Jiangdong was wiped out.
As the lord of Jiangdong, Sun Jian wants all people in Jiangdong to understand that his majesty is inviolable. If anyone dares to offend him, no matter who he is, he will only be punished!
The Lu family was one of the four clans in Jiangdong. Now that it was destroyed, it had a great impact on Jiangdong. A period of chaos and turmoil was inevitable.
On the Yangtze River, a small boat was sailing on the water. In the cabin, a handsome-looking young man was sitting.
The young man was dressed in a white shirt. Although he was young, he already had some charm.
The young man's expression was calm, and others could not see the joy or anger in his heart. However, at this moment, in his heart, he had long been filled with hatred.
Looking at the vast water surface and his hometown that was gradually disappearing, the young man sighed. He left this time and did not know when he would return.
But what if you don’t leave? Your family is gone, and you no longer have a place to live even in your homeland.
The young man is Lu Xun, Lu Boyan, a descendant of the Lu family in Jiangdong. He is only fifteen years old this year. When the Lu family was massacred, Lu Xun happened to be studying abroad, so he escaped.
When Lu Xun completed his study tour and returned to Jiangdong, he heard the news that the Lu family had been massacred. At that time, Lu Xun did not dare to go home, but sent the servants who followed him to inquire about the cause and effect of the incident.
The head of the family, Lu Kang, was killed by Sun Jian. In order to take revenge, the elders of the family sent followers to assassinate Sun Jian. After the failure, they were massacred.
If Lu Xun had been at home at that time, he would have tried his best to dissuade his elders from acting recklessly. But now it was a foregone conclusion. Hundreds of people in the Lu family were killed. He could not change anything anymore and could only cover up the endless pain in his heart.
Hatred, with his only remaining entourage, found a boat and left Jiangdong.
But where should I go after leaving Kodong?
The revenge of more than a hundred members of the Lu family must be avenged. To this end, Lu Xun must find a monarch who is capable of conquering Jiangdong.
Liu Biao? He doesn't have that ability no matter how he looks at it. It's already pretty good if he can hold on and not be destroyed by Sun Jian.
Is it possible that he wants to join Cao Cao?
In fact, the destruction of the Lu family had something to do with Cao Cao. If Cao Cao had not killed Sun Quan, but had let him return, then not only would the Lu family not have been massacred, but they might have made great achievements.
Of course, Lu Xun was not ignorant enough to blame Cao Cao. Since you, Sun Jian, went to attack other people's cities, then Cao Cao could naturally behead your son after catching him. This is war.
Lu Xun thought about it and felt that among all the princes, Cao Cao was the only one who was likely to send troops to Jiangdong in the future.
If Cao Cao was defeated by Yuan Shao in Guandu, Lu Xun might not necessarily vote for him. But Cao Cao had a great victory over Yuan Shao at Guandu, and now his momentum was unparalleled. If Lu Xun wanted revenge, surrendering to Cao seemed to be his only option.
"I wonder what kind of person Cao Cao is?" Lu Xun looked up at the sky. In addition to his hatred for Sun Jian, his heart was also filled with confusion and uneasiness about the unknown future.
After all, he is just a fifteen-year-old boy now.
————————————————————————————————————“A person from the Lu family in Jiangdong?” Cao Cao heard someone asking to see him and claimed to be from Jiangdong.
The children of the Lu family couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
The fact that all the Lu family was executed had already spread to the Central Plains and other places, and Cao Cao had heard about it.
Finally, Cao Cao decided to meet this so-called Lu clan member.
"I, Lu Xun, and Lu Boyan, pay my respects to Sikong." Lu Xun entered and bowed to Cao Cao, his attitude neither humble nor overbearing.
Huh? Very young. Seeing that the visitor was just a teenager, Cao Cao couldn't help but feel even more surprised.
"Why are you here?" Although Lu Xun behaved in front of Cao Cao, he was still too young and Cao Cao didn't pay much attention to him.
After all, there are so many people in the world who are handsome but have no real talent, let alone a teenager. There are many juniors in the Xun family and the Chen family who have outstanding temperament, but among them there are some who are really talented and hardworking.
There are only a few of them.
"I came here because I hope to serve as Sikong." Lu Xun replied to Cao Cao.
I am a fifteen-year-old boy? In the past, there were Gan Luo who became Prime Minister at the age of twelve, but it is impossible to expect everyone to be Gan Luo.
"How many people are left in the Jiangdong Lu family?"
"Now only Lu Xun is left."
One person? Cao Cao stroked his beard slightly. If this Lu Xun was really the only fish that slipped through the net, then one can imagine the hatred in his heart for Sun Jian. In this case, his purpose of coming to seek refuge with him is also obvious. Such a person
People, how should we arrange this?
"In that case, please step aside for the time being. I'll wait until I see who lacks the position of swordsman and penman, and then I'll let you know." Forget it, the other party is still just a young boy after all, and it's impossible for him to do it all.
As soon as he comes, he will be given a high position, and he will be allowed to start as a swordsman and penman. If he is really talented, he can be promoted.
Lu Xun's expression changed slightly when he heard this. A writer is a clerk who helps people write and correct mistakes in their articles.
Although Lu Xun was young, as the saying goes, his ambitions are not as strong as his age. His ambitions have always been very lofty. Letting Lu Xun serve as the swordsman and penmancer is simply an insult to him.
However, Lu Xun did not argue. He also knew that his fifteen-year-old age would not make Cao Cao take notice of him all of a sudden. Anyway, Lu Xun had confidence in his talents. He believed that given time, he would be able to make great achievements in Cao Cao's camp.
Don't be impatient, Lu Xun secretly warned himself. Even if Cao Cao attacks Jiangdong, it will only happen after a long time. As long as he can get a general by then, he can lead a group of troops to kill Jiangdong.
"Thank you for your kindness, my lord." Lu Xun thanked Cao Cao. Although it is a bit aggrieved to start as a swordsman and pen official, it is okay.
————————————————————————————————————One day near dusk, Gao Shun, as usual, was in a room where he often went
In the restaurant, I had a drink with Guo Jia.
Earlier in Cao's camp, the only adviser who was close to Gao Shun was Guo Jia. Although Xun Yu and others also valued Gao Shun, they did not have much contact with him.
As Gao Shun's literary reputation grew, more and more literati came to communicate with Gao Shun, but Gao Shun generally avoided those people.
Are you kidding me? Those people talk about poems and essays whenever we meet. How can I have so many poems and essays for you to discuss?
So Gao Shun still likes to hang out with Guo Jia, at least Guo Jia will only drink and chat with him, and will not ask to discuss poetry or anything.
After Zhang Zhongjing arrived in Xuchang, he had seen Guo Jia and prescribed some prescriptions. It can be said that if nothing unexpected happens, Guo Jia will not die young like in history.
Another consequence of this is that Guo Jia now drinks more unscrupulously, and it is common to get drunk.
"With the miracle doctor here, as long as you don't get drunk to death on the spot, what are you afraid of?" These were Guo Jia's original words.
However, Gao Shun was very worried. With the way Guo Jia drank, he might actually die of drunkenness on the spot. If that happened, it would be a tragedy. Guo Jia did not die of illness early, but died of drinking. Cao Cao would be afraid that then
They will fight against themselves. It’s all my fault that you drank with Guo Jia all day long and drank one of my great advisers to death.
So now when it comes to drinking, Guo Jia drinks freely, but Gao Shun has to pay attention to control Guo Jia's drinking.
"Recently, my lord has arranged for me a new swordsman and penman. Although the boy is young, he seems to be pretty good." Guo Jia drank three or four glasses, became slightly tipsy, and began to talk about some recent events.
"Oh? I'm afraid there aren't many people who can make Fengxiao you say something good." Gao Shun smiled slightly, raised a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp.
Indeed, Guo Jia is known as a genius. Although he is not arrogant in character, he still has a high standard for looking at people. It is not easy for ordinary people to be favored by him.
