Chapter 771: Lu Su Sends Envoy
Zhou Yu and Sun Ce Junchen sat speechless, staring at each other and sighing for a while, only then did they remember that the situation in Jiangdong was urgent, and no matter what, Cao Cao had to be persuaded to send reinforcements as soon as possible. Even if it is coping, it will have a huge effect on stabilizing the hearts of the people in Yangzhou.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yu said to Sun Ce: "Lord, send an envoy to Yizhou as soon as possible, go to see Cao Gong, and say that he is coming to help." ”
Sun Ce nodded and said, "It should be like this." It's just Gongjin, who should I use? ”
The messenger is very important. The status can't be too low, and if it's low, Cao Cao won't be able to meet it. The status can't be too high, at this critical moment, it is the time to employ people, Sun Ce can't send Zhou Yu or Zhang Hong, and Cheng Pu is even more impossible.
If Sun Quan hadn't had a conflict with Sun Ce before, Sun Ce would have let his younger brother Sun Quan go to see Cao Cao. Fight tiger brothers, go into battle father and son soldiers. It's just that this time Sun Quan really broke Sun Ce's heart.
On the selfishness of himself as the eldest brother, on the public himself as the king, but Zhongmou ignored it, openly contradicted himself, and proposed to surrender at the moment when the enemy army was pressing. Sun Ce was so out of breath. This will only think about how to look at this restless brother, and how can he be relieved to let him out and entrust him with heavy responsibilities?
Zhou Yu's head turned around, qualifications, talents, affinity, and proximity, as soon as several conditions were screened, there was only one person left. So Zhou Yu recommended without hesitation: "Lord, Lu Zijing has a strong festival and can be regarded as a messenger." ”
When Sun Ce heard this, he pondered for a while, and then said: "I will take Zijing as a messenger and go to see Cao Cao." "The two of them here decided on the candidate to send the envoy to Yizhou in a few words.
After Zhou Yu left, Sun Ce stood in the room for a long time. Lu Su is talented, and Sun Ce wants to use it but doesn't want to use it. Why? Because Lu Su and Zhou Yu were too close.
It is said that Zhou Yu and Sun Ce are friends who have ascended to the church to worship their mother, and Lu Su and Zhou Yu are close and have a good relationship, isn't it better? In fact, otherwise, a qualified monarch cannot tolerate the tendency of his confidant ministers to form a party. Especially two super capable talents. The emperor can't wait for his courtiers to be lonely ministers, and the supreme can't avoid this kind of thinking, let alone Sun Cehu?
History records are very clear that Lu Su took refuge in Jiangdong, not because he wanted to take refuge in Sun Ce, but because the world was in turmoil, Huai and Si could not live, so he had to flee to Jiangdong to avoid harm and observe the changes of the times. "China is out of order, thieves are rampant, Huai and Sijian are not the land of intangible cultural heritage, I heard that Jiangdong is fertile for thousands of miles, the people are rich and the army is strong, you can avoid harm, and you would rather go to the happy land with each other to watch the time change?" These are Lu Su's exact words.
Later, Zhou Yu took Lu Su to Sun Ce, Sun Ce Yaqizhi, and then sent Lu Su away with the official position of a school captain. So after the death of Lu Su's grandmother, Liu Ye would serve under Zheng Bao, so he wrote to Lu Su and suggested that Lu Su join the gang. Lu Su was immediately moved. If Sun Ce really reused Lu Su, would Lu Su plan to take refuge in Zheng Bao? If it weren't for the death of Sun Ce in history, Zhou Yu persuaded him hard, and spared no effort to recommend Sun Quan, where would Dongwu be able to get the material of Lu Su.
Now history has been stirred up beyond recognition by Liu Bei, but it is still a fact that Lu Su did not get a status that matched his talent under Sun Ce. Of course, it's better than the original history. Now Lu Su is under Sun Ce, he has led soldiers, and he has also served as a magistrate, and he has participated in military and internal affairs. Now he has a name in the Shogunate of Sun Ce and acts as a guest of the strategist.
In terms of Sun Ce's control of the army, even Zhou Yu will be wary, and naturally he will not let Zhou Yu and Lu Su lead troops outside. In many cases, blind trust is not good, and it is easy to make big mistakes. Emperor Wen of Han, who was famous in history, killed his only uncle, which became a stain on his life and was criticized by countless descendants.
Many people think that Empress Dowager Bo only has such a younger brother, and Emperor Wen of Han only has such a personal uncle, and even forced his uncle to death, which is a big unfilial piety. But what can Emperor Wen of Han do? The Han law is strict, and the princes commit crimes, those who should be killed are killed, those who should be sentenced are sentenced, and those who should be abolished are abolished. As the uncle of the Son of Heaven, he should naturally be stricter, how can he escape the punishment of the law?
Therefore, Cao Pi, the historical Emperor Wen of Wei, said that Emperor Wen of Han should not have trusted and indulged his uncle so much before. I didn't care about it before, and then I broke the law and killed him.
The relationship between the monarch and the minister is also very delicate, and how to control the distance is all in the king's thoughts. If it is far away, it will chill the hearts of the courtiers and alienate the relationship between the monarch and the minister. It's not good to get too close, so the power can get out of hand.
It should be said that in terms of how to be the master, Sun Ce still figured out his own routine. Now Zhou Yu recommended Lu Su to envoy Cao Cao, and Sun Ce nodded in agreement after a little hesitation. That's because he believes that Zhou Yu will not abolish his public affairs for personal reasons, and Lu Su does have this ability. The most important thing is to be a messenger, not a general. This made Sun Ce the most assured.
Lu Su received Sun Ce's order, sorted out his belongings in the starry night, received the rune seal document the next day, said goodbye to Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, got on the ship, and set off for Yizhou under the escort of a team of Wu troops.
Zhou Yu sent all the way to Jiangkou Wharf, parted, solemnly saluted Lu Su, and said: "Zijing, I am up and down Jiangdong, looking forward to returning, and I will cherish it." ”
The two had a lifelong friendship, and in history, Zhou Yu left his last words when he died, and handed over his own part to Lu Su to lead. Eastern Wu is not comparable to Wei and Shu, and Eastern Wu played a trilogy system in history, and the generals' tribal was equal to private soldiers. Zhou Yu did not leave the four thousand parts to others, but to Lu Su, you can imagine the depth of their friendship.
Lu Su stood on the boat and solemnly returned the salute: "Rest assured, Su will live up to his mission." The two parted in tears.
Not to mention that Lu Su sent an envoy to Yizhou, but said that Guan Hai led a group of men and horses as the vanguard to explore the way for the army. After going deep into Luogu, he felt that this place was dangerous, so while moving forward, he summoned Zhao Yun to send troops to build roads and set up camps and fortresses. After crossing the Taiyi Mountain in the Qinling Mountains, he followed the mountain road again. I saw the tiger roaring and apes crying between the deep streams in the valley along the way, and the insects and birds chirping together, so it was not lively. Fortunately, Guan Hai and this cadre are all bloody and bold people, and they are not afraid of seeing fierce beasts, and they are even eager to try, thinking that they want to shoot big insects and get a tiger whip to try it.
The beast was also very frightened when it saw the murderous aura on this group of people, and stared at Huang Chengcheng's eyes for a long time across the mountain, and finally roared unwillingly, and then turned around, the tiger's claws were lightly relaxed, and soon disappeared between the dense forests and disappeared without a trace.
Guan Hai laughed when he saw this, and said, "Count this beast as an acquaintance, otherwise I will use you to drink tonight." Guan Hai asked the direction of the guide, swaggered and walked forward, halfway through, suddenly Guan Hai stopped suddenly, lowered his body and put his hand up, and made a gesture to hide on the spot.
