This was all because before the incident, he had just received a somewhat strange piece of news.
Zhou Yu's wife, Mrs. Qiao, has disappeared. The Zhou Mansion in Wu County is still there, and everything is as usual, except that Mrs. Qiao and a few of her maids have disappeared. About half a month ago, after an unusual outing, there was no one again.
Saw her. No one knows where she went or where she is now.
When Sun Quan first heard the news, he didn't realize how strange it was. He even felt that Lu Yi was a little reckless in sending the news in a hurry. Qiao is a woman, where can she go? Maybe it's because **
, I stayed at an acquaintance's house for two days, and the school affairs that monitored Zhou's residence were reported as a major event.
These school officials often do this, as if they are using chicken feathers as flags.
When Zhou Li, who had been missing for several months, appeared in Wuchang and reported to him the possible whereabouts of Zhou Yin's disappearance, Sun Quan began to appreciate the strangeness in it.
Zhou Yin disappeared a few months ago and disappeared at the western foot of Luoxiao Mountain.
Sun Deng and Crown Princess Zhou rushed to Chengdu a month ago to take hostage.
Half a month ago, Zhou Yu's wife Qiao also disappeared.
In other words, the three most important people in the Zhou family were all out of his sight. The disappearance of one person might have been an accident, but the three members of the family left one after another, and the time was so close together that they couldn't help but attract Sun Quan's attention. Then, he
This reminds me of the incredible victory of the Jiaozhou Navy.
Xia Houxuan and Zhuge Dan were both famous figures in Cao Wei and had never led troops. Even if the warships of the Jiaozhou Navy had obvious advantages, how could their attacks be so sharp? The generals of the Wu army who were defeated by them said in unison that their tactics were
Very skilled, not like a newbie at all.
This used to make Sun Quan very angry. He thought that the generals were shirking their responsibilities, but now he thinks there is another possibility. That is that there is a general in the Jiaozhou Navy who is familiar with water warfare, and this general is probably Zhou Yin.
In terms of personal morality and knowledge, Zhou Yin is not as good as his brother Zhou Xun, let alone his father Zhou Yu. However, in terms of combat ability, Zhou Yin is more like his father Zhou Yu than Zhou Xun. He is not good at studying, but he likes fighting.
Otherwise, Sun Quan would not have married a clan daughter to him if he had generals. It was just that this man was too wild and unbearable, so Sun Quan didn't like him very much.
If he were to command the Jiaozhou Navy, with his ability and the strong strength of the Jiaozhou Navy, it would not be surprising to achieve such a victory.
It’s just that this conjecture is too shocking. Zhou Yu is one of the founding fathers of Jiangdong. Even after his death nearly twenty years ago, he still has an irreplaceable status. Lu Meng defeated Guan Yu and Lu Xun defeated Liu Bei. They are all impressive feats. However,
Compared with Zhou Yu's defeat of Cao Cao, it would be overshadowed.
Zhou Yin's defection to serve Wei Ba would be a heavy blow to the state of Wu.
Sun Quan was at a loss and didn't know how to deal with it. How would he explain it to his ministers?
As he lay on his bed, he felt that the whole palace was shaking.
He lay there for a long time and thought for a long time. He put on his clothes and sat up and wrote a letter to Lu Xun. At this critical moment of life and death, he could not think of anyone else to ask for advice except Lu Xun.
…
At the same time, Lu Xun was also writing to Sun Quan.
Lu Xun was stationed in Yingchuan, which was very close to Cao Wei and Guanzhong. He did not dare to be careless, so he sent his scouts far away.
The news that Zhuge Liang was gathering troops and horses in Guanzhong naturally could not escape his ears and eyes. He was doubtful about the so-called test. No matter whether it was true or not, he had to be ready to fight. After the scouts sneaked into Guanzhong, they found out about Zhuge Liang's intentions.
In addition to not appearing in public for a long time, Lu Xun was sensitively aware that Zhuge Liang might have a major physical problem.
As the most strategically aware general in Wu State, Lu Xun is very clear about the impact that Zhuge Liang will have on the entire situation once he dies. The alliance between Wu State and Shu Han is mainly an alliance with Zhuge Liang. If Zhuge Liang dies, Li Yan or Wei Ba will seize the opportunity.
Losing the power of the Shu Han Dynasty will definitely further squeeze the living space of the Wu Kingdom.
Lu Xun had never met Zhuge Liang in person, but through letters, they understood each other even better than he did. He could also guess what Zhuge Liang was planning, but he didn't think highly of Jiang Wei at all.
Jiang Wei has no foundation in the Shu Han. He entered the Shu Han for too short a time, and without Zhuge Liang's extraordinary intelligence and perseverance, it is impossible for him to reproduce the glory of Zhuge Liang's monopoly of power. His several battles are remarkable, but they do not represent
He can achieve the same results in the court. More importantly, he has a very strong opponent: Wei Ba.
Lu Xun didn't think he could control Guanzhong after Zhuge Liang's death.
Once Zhuge Liang dies, the political situation of the Shu Han Dynasty will definitely undergo major changes, and the State of Wu will inevitably be affected. At this time, Lu Xun has the responsibility to remind Sun Quan to take countermeasures. If this opportunity can be grasped, the State of Wu may have a glimmer of hope.
If you take the wrong step, there may be an abyss ahead.
After Lu Xun finished writing the letter, he checked it carefully. He should be very careful when writing to Sun Quan. Who knows which word was used inappropriately and touched the thorns in Sun Quan's heart. Now is an extraordinary period, and Sun Quan is even more sensitive, so he must be even more careful.
.
Lu Lan hurriedly walked in, took a look at the letter on the case, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and sat down in front of Lu Xun. Lu Xun looked at him in surprise. After several years of training, Lu Lan has already
He is much calmer, able to stand alone, and rarely loses his composure like this.
"What's up?"
"Letter from Zhang Huishu." Lu Lan took out a letter from his arms. The letter was soaked with his sweat and was a little soft. "Hurry up and send it via Nanyang."
Lu Xun's heart skipped a beat. Sun Quan professed his vassalship to Shu Han, and Han and Wu were nominally one family. It was not surprising that Zhang Wen's letter passed through Nanyang, but it meant that the letter came directly from Jiaozhou, which was a bit abnormal.
Lu Xun immediately took the letter and scanned it, and couldn't help but gasped. Lu Lan stared into his eyes and subconsciously lowered her voice: "What should I do?"
Lu Xun blinked and recovered from the shock. He glanced at the letter he had just written and smiled bitterly: "It seems that our news is still a step late. Li Yan is already preparing to take action, and Wei Ba
We have already started taking action.”
"What?" Lu Lan was confused and didn't understand what Lu Xun was talking about.
"It's very simple." Lu Xun shook the letter in his hand: "Zhuge Liang is seriously ill. Li Yan wants to take this opportunity to fight for Guanzhong, but Wei Ba stays out of the matter and adds fuel to the flames. At the same time, he invades me while Li Yan is focusing on Guanzhong.
The foundation of Soochow. As long as 30% of these people agree to serve as officials, the people of Soochow will collapse."
He paused and sighed: "Judging from Zhang Wen's tone, he is probably happy to see it happen."
Only then did Lu Lan understand, and couldn't help but feel frightened. He read Zhang Wen's letter again, and sure enough he could see Lu Xun's worry. Zhang Wen didn't say a word of objection in the whole letter, but just informed him of this matter, and even some
He was envious that Lu Hao was listed at the top of the list of conquests. However, there was also a bit of ridicule in this envy. Based on his understanding of Zhang Wen, he knew that there must be another reason behind this ease. The most likely reason was that Zhang Wen got the greatest benefit.
Far more than what Lu Hao could get.
Zhang Wen and Wei Ba had been dating for many years. Wei Ba wanted to recruit talents from the land of Wu, so naturally he would not let a talent like him go. Those who were close to the water came first, so it was expected that Zhang Wen would take the lead.
Lu Xun sat down, picked up the letter he had just written, took a look at it, rolled it into a roll, put it on the fire and lit it. When the fire lit up, his eyes showed a strange look. Lu Lan saw it,
With a thought in his heart, he had already guessed what Lu Xun was going to do.
Lu Xun sat down again, spread out the bamboo paper, picked up the pen, and started writing stroke by stroke.
…
Sun Deng stood aside with his hands folded, looking at Mrs. Sun and Sun Luban who were dancing with swords, frowning and worried.
He has been in Chengdu for more than ten days, and today is the first time to visit his aunt. Since Sun Luban returned to Chengdu, Mrs. Sun has a companion and is in good spirits. She often practices swordsmanship and horseback riding with Sun Luban, and they live a happy life.
Comfortable. In contrast, Sun Deng looks a little prematurely senile, with a bitter face that makes anyone uncomfortable when he sees him.
This is no wonder Sun Deng, Sun Deng's difficulties are not something that Mrs. Sun can understand. As for Sun Luban, a heartless guy, he has no mood to understand at all.
As soon as Sun Deng arrived in Chengdu, he heard some bad rumors. When he met with Liu Chan, Liu Chan asked him a lot of nonsense and asked him about interesting people in Jiangdong. Sun Deng found that he could chew a lot of fruit.
Liu Chan, who has red mouth, is actually no stranger to Jiangdong. He knows many talents and many Jiangdong aristocratic families who are not favored by Sun Quan.
This made him wary.
After meeting General Li Yan and hearing from Li Yan that he wanted to recruit talents from Jiangdong, Sun Deng became even more nervous. The relationship between the Jiangdong family and his father, Sun Quan, had always been tense. Originally, Sun Quan had the upper hand because of Jiangdong.
The aristocratic family had nowhere to go. They couldn't drag their whole family out of Soochow, so they had to swallow their anger. The situation was different now. If the Chengdu court wanted to recruit them into official positions, the attraction would be hard for them to resist. In this way, their father would
Wang Sunquan had no advantage at all in this contest.
Sun Deng came to see Mrs. Sun today, hoping to use Mrs. Sun's influence on Liu Chan to buy as much time as possible for his father, Sun Quan, to prepare. However, Mrs. Sun was focused on practicing swordsmanship with Sun Luban and turned a deaf ear to his request.
This worried him very much.
It is not a secret within the Sun clan that her aunt resents her father. In order to win over Liu Bei, her father ignored her aunt's strong opposition and married her to Liu Bei, who was more than 20 years older than her. Later, Sun Liu turned against her, and he
Regardless of her objections, he forcibly took her back to Wu County and put her under house arrest in that small courtyard. After his return, he suffered a disastrous defeat in the Battle of Jingzhou, and he sent her to Chengdu as a sacrifice. Her life was ruined by his
In Wei Ba's hands, now that he himself was going to be destroyed, his aunt felt relieved to have revenge.
It's understandable that she doesn't want to help.
But if this happens, the future of the Sun family will not be good.
