At the end of April, Guo Peng led his army to Huayin County.

When the vanguard of the army attacked Zheng County, Gu Yong also completed the handover procedures in Chen Guo, came to Lujiang County, and completed the handover procedures with the original Lujiang Taishou Zao, and officially assumed the position of Lujiang Taishou.

"Duke Wei appointed Yuan Si as the Taishou of Lujiang, this intention, Yuan Si should be clear, I think that the future history of Yangzhou Thorn must be Yuan Si!"

Zao Yi and Gu Yong went to Shanggu County to seek refuge with Guo Peng at about the same time, and the relationship between the two was good, and this handover was also very pleasant.

"Zaojun has an overreputation, Wei Gong is employed, how can we understand? But this time I came to Lujiang, where is Zaojun going? ”

Gu Yong asked with a smile.

Zao only smiled and said, "Duke Wei asked me to go to Luoyang, maybe there are some things that I need to do, right?" ”

"That's for sure."

Gu Yong thought for a while: "To the west of Luoyang, it is a ruin, Duke Wei should have something important to entrust to Zaojun, Zaojun will be promoted, just around the corner." ”

"Hahahaha, where, where."

The two laughed and blew each other for a while, and then talked about the previous death of the Son of Heaven.

"The Son of Heaven was killed, the imperial court collapsed, and the Han family was crumbling, and now, only Duke Wei can save the Han family.

Gu Yong was very concerned about this issue.

Zao Yi frowned and thought for a moment.

"This is indeed a big deal, what the Wei Guild does, I don't know very well, I corresponded with Yecheng's friends before, and I heard that Yecheng is now discussing which Liu clansman the Wei Guild will support to inherit the throne."

"That's ......"

Gu Yong also frowned: "The succession to the throne is a major event, in this chaotic situation, without a wise lord, it is impossible to stabilize the Han family, not to mention that there are still people in Jiangnan who are not subordinate, will they recognize the Son of Heaven supported by the Duke of Wei?" ”

"It's hard to say, it's hard to say."

Zao Yi shook his head: "It can even be said that they will not admit it, otherwise they will become other people's vassals for no reason, Liu Jiyu, Liu Jingsheng and Sun Bofu are all princes of one side, will they admit it?" ”

Gu Yong thinks that Zao Yi is right, these people are likely not to recognize the emperor supported by Guo Peng, and may even elect their own emperor to confront it, forming a situation of division between the north and the south.

"I heard before that Liu Jingsheng united with Sun Bofu and Liu Jiyu to form an alliance and try to fight against the Duke of Wei, if this is the case, the division between the north and south of the Han family is a foregone conclusion, and the world will be even more chaotic."

Gu Yong said with some apprehension: "I don't know what will become of it in the end." ”

"In fact, if you want to talk about the wise lord, where in the world is there more wise than Wei Gong? At least that's what I think. ”

Zao Yi suddenly had no head and no brain, and such a sentence made Gu Yong's heart suddenly.

Gu Yong hurriedly looked at Zao You, only to see that Zao Yi had a strange smile on his face.

Leaning less, Gu Yong also smiled.

"Zao Jun doesn't talk much on weekdays, he just buries himself in things, and he doesn't seem to have any thoughts of his own at all, but once he speaks, it really impresses Gu."

"Isn't it the same with Yuan Si? I worked hard and kept silent, but I agreed with it so much. ”

The two veterans of the Guo Peng Group, who held the title of Wei Guan, exchanged their ideas very tacitly.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Zao Yi quickly packed his bags and headed north to Luoyang, where he needed to fulfill the duties assigned to him by Guo Peng, and in Lujiang, Gu Yong also had his own duties that he needed to perform.

Gu Yong first met with Xu Huang and Xu Gongming, the generals of the Lujiang garrison and Hengjiang Zhonglang, to discuss the military defense and some guarantees needed by the army, and after understanding the daily needs of the army, Gu Yong first ensured the needs of the army, and then went to deal with administrative problems.

At the same time, Gu Yong did not forget to write a letter to his family, telling his family that he had taken up the position of Lujiang County Warden.

Then, he asked his wife, Lu Kang's daughter, to write a letter, take it to Gu's house together, and then ask the family to pass it on to Lu.

Gu Yong was very free to carry out the task assigned to him by Guo Peng, while at the same time, Sun Ce was also resting.

After signing the peace agreement with Liu Biao, the threat from the west was gone, and Sun Ce and Zhou Yu breathed a sigh of relief and began to carefully manage the interior.

From time to time, there are still some small internal turmoil, which Sun Ce needs to deal with with his best, leading the army to fight and pacify the Quartet, which cannot but be said to be a challenge for Sun Ce, and this challenge is very tiring.

After years of fighting, Sun Ce didn't have a good rest, so after signing an offensive and defensive alliance treaty with Liu Biao, Sun Ce, at the suggestion of Zhou Yu, chose to relax for a while, read books, hunt, and practice swordsmanship and spear thrusting.

And during this period of relaxation, Zhou Yu did not fail to arrange tasks for Sun Ce.

"You are twenty-three years old, and you have not yet married a wife and had children, isn't it disrespectful to your parents' ancestors? What do you always say about the Huns not being destroyed, why do you have a family, now it's okay, Duke Wei has wiped out the Southern Huns, the Huns are gone, you can start a family. ”

Zhou Yu privately admonished Sun Ce as a good friend, asking Sun Ce to marry a wife and have children as soon as possible to stabilize people's hearts.

Entrepreneurship is important, but in this era of precariousness, the issue of heirs is also very prominent.

A twenty-three-year-old person like Sun Ce who has no son is a very dangerous existence, which is enough to make his subordinates worry and waver.

Sun Ce felt that it was too troublesome to marry a wife and have children, but he still liked to fight, so Zhou Yu used Guo Peng's example to scold Sun Ce.

"You revere Wei Gong as a hero, and everything is on par with Wei Gong, then do you know that Wei Gong got married at the age of fifteen, and had an eldest son at the age of sixteen, Wei Gong has been fighting on the battlefield for more than ten years, and has never relaxed to give birth to heirs to stabilize people's hearts, and now Wei Gong has many heirs under his knees, can you compare?"

Sun Ce was speechless by Zhou Yu, so he had no choice but to let Zhou Yu, his mother and elders discuss to see how to choose a suitable wife for Sun Ce.

Zhou Yu actually wanted to find Sun Ce a woman from a local scholar family in Jiangdong as a wife, so as to ease the relationship between Sun Ce and the Jiangdong scholar clan and create a new era, so that everyone could rest assured, and the Jiangdong scholar clan would begin to accept Sun Ce.

In fact, it should not be said that during this period of time, because of Sun Ce's martial arts, many local heroes in Jiangdong have the idea of taking refuge in Sun Ce.

But the scholars still did not let go, they were very dissatisfied with Sun Ce, and they were extremely disgusted by Sun Ce's behavior of suppressing them, not to mention the resentment that Sun Ce had killed Lu Kang and the Lu family.

It can be said that if Sun Ce can't ease relations with the Lu family, then the other people with the three surnames of Gu, Zhu, Zhang, and Huiji Danyang will not compromise with Sun Ce, and they will not be able to make Sun Ce, but will become a potential danger within Sun Ce.

Zhou Yu thought about it a lot, so he very much wanted to promote the reconciliation between Sun Ce and the Lu family, put all the blame on the already dead Yuan Shu, and win more room for Sun Ce.

So when Sun Ce was resting, Zhou Yu contacted the Lu family in private.

Wujun Lu, one of the four surnames of Wu, has developed well in Jiangdong since the Western Han Dynasty.

At the turn of the two Han Dynasty, the Lu family was already a big clan in Jiangdong, and in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Lu family continued to have clansmen who served as high-ranking officials in the central government of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and they were the most famous among the four surnames of Wu.

However, a few years ago, Yuan Shu categorically ordered Sun Ce to attack Lujiang because of his grudge against Lu Kang, and Sun Ce killed Lu Kang in the process of attacking Lujiang.

Not only that, in the war, half of the Lu clan's clan died, most of them were strong men, and more than 100 people were halved in an instant, and the Lu clan suddenly became precarious from one of the four glorious Wu surnames.
