Wu County, Jiangdong, a certain piece of land of the Lu clan. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The sky is peaceful, but there is already a fairly neat shouting here, but it is Sun Shangxiang, who is dressed in military uniform, who is conducting preliminary training for the hundreds of Jiangdong children who have been recruited recently. And this is called preliminary training...... Well, Sun Shangxiang applied the set she learned in Yizhou to these Jiangdong disciples.
There were several large sheds at the other end, and the flags for recruiting soldiers on the flagpole outside the shed were fluttering in the wind, and Zhou Yu took a few people to personally take charge of the recruitment work in the shed. Of course, Zhou Yu can't take care of the specific affairs, and the people who are busy with these things are just Zhou Yu's subordinates, and Zhou Yu just looks at it occasionally. More often, Zhou Yu's eyes were mainly focused on the ongoing training on Sun Shangxiang's side.
Looking at it, Zhou Yu couldn't stop nodding, his expression was full of approval, but what was hidden behind the approval was a little jealousy. Lu Ren is not very good at fighting, but this does not prevent Lu Ren from training his troops in a more scientific and rational way in the modern way. And a person like Zhou Yu who can fight can see the potential combat effectiveness from the training method.
Then in Zhou Yu's opinion, Sun Shangxiang may have just learned a rough idea in Yizhou, if it is replaced by those generals under Lu Ren who are really in charge, and take a group of soldiers who have received this kind of training to fight...... Hehe, Zhou Yu didn't dare to think about it anymore.
Sun Shangxiang and Zhou Yu were busy there, but there was still a pair of eyes staring at Sun Shangxiang and Zhou Yu, and these eyes were also full of worry. As for the owner of these eyes, it is Lu An, the current chief elder of the Lu clan of Wu County.
Let's make it clear again, the Lu family of Wu County and Lu Ren are not the same thing, even if Lu Xun and Lu Ji go to Lu Ren's side, the Lu family of Wu County and Lu Ren still cannot be completely involved, so now this Lu Ping is the actual patriarch of the Lu family of Wu County, and there are still some children of the Lu family of Wu County who are officials under Sun Quan. Of course, the connection between the Wu Jun Lu clan and Lu Ren will not be broken, after all, the Wu Jun Lu clan relied on Lu Ren to turn over, and the Wu Jun Lu clan will basically obey some of the words sent by Lu Ren.
In general, Lu Ren is like a head office in modern society, and Wu Jun Lu is like a cooperative company that makes money through agents under the head office, but has its own independence. Most of the Lu clan of Wu County will obey Lu Ren's instructions, but this time the words sent by Lu Ren a few days ago really made Lu An feel difficult, because the words sent by Lu Ren this time were to ask the Lu clan of Wu County to take some money and grain out to fund Sun Shangxiang and Zhou Yu first, and Lu Ren would supplement them later.
It is said that Lu Anke at this time is really worried. What about funding Sun Shangxiang and Zhou Yu...... In fact, for the current Lu clan of Wu County, it is not a matter at all to take out some money and grain to help Sun Shangxiang and Zhou Yu recruit troops and horses. You must know that the Lu clan of Wu County has always been the general agent of business on the side of Jiangdong, and after more than ten or twenty years, although the Lu clan of Wu County cannot be said to be rich and rival the country, but its financial strength is said to be dominant in the Jiangdong counties, but there is no problem, and it is like playing to raise an army of 10,000 children and 8,000 children.
But is it a question of money now? Sun Shangxiang's previous disturbance was not ordinary, how could the Lu family of Wujun not know? Therefore, if it was under normal circumstances, Lu An would not be able to hide from Sun Shangxiang, for fear that it would attract Sun Quan's revenge. But now that it's good, Lu Ren asked Lu An and them to settle Sun Shangxiang. Not only did he have to settle down, but he also had to provide money and food to help Sun Shangxiang and Zhou Yu, so of course Lu An would be in a hurry.
is still the same sentence, Sun Shangxiang's trouble in Jianye City is too big, and there are too many aspects involved, Lu An has been acting as an agent for the Lu family of Wu County for so many years, where can he not see the intricate relationship here? directly funded Sun Shangxiang, which is basically equivalent to directly angering Sun Quan, although Lu An has Lu Ren's backing behind him, and he is not afraid of Sun Quan's revenge, it is a big deal that the entire Lu family of Wu County has opened the way to flash people, but the ancestral industry is located and now it is a big business, and no one is willing to give up easily;
Don't fund it, Lu An and these people feel that they can't talk too much, the relationship between Sun Shangxiang and Yizhou, and what he has done all along, are all fake? Lu Ren respects Sun Shangxiang very much, and this time Sun Shangxiang is completely for the sake of fighting between Wu and Wu, and it is impossible for Lu Ren not to help Sun Shangxiang.
Looking back, Lu Ren is the real big boss of the Lu clan in Wu County, and Lu Ji, the real sect leader of the Lu clan, is still Lu Ren's staff, if Lu Ren intentionally wants to help a group of Sun Shangxiang, and by the way, he will use this matter to stir up trouble in Jiangdong, but Lu An here refuses Sun Shangxiang, isn't that making trouble for the entire Lu family, or even cutting off the entire Lu family's future financial route?
In addition, Zhou Yu will appear next to Sun Shangxiang, which also gives Lu An a headache. In fact, Lu An was still very relieved about Sun Shangxiang himself, but as soon as Zhou An got involved, Lu An didn't dare to take it lightly. God knows if Zhou Yu wants to play some tricks in secret, and then make a big problem on the Yizhou side. If something goes wrong in Yizhou, then the future financial route of the Lu clan will be equivalent to being directly cut off, and if Sun Quan suppresses the Lu clan again, then the Lu clan may not have a day to turn over. And this is what Lu An is most worried about, so Lu An has been keeping an eye on Zhou Yu almost all the time in these days.
Under the dilemma of both sides, Lu An could only take out a small amount of money and food to deal with it first, so that he could barely say anything to Lu Ren and Sun Quan. On the other hand, Lu An sent a special person from the clipper to Yizhou to ask for Lu Ren and Lu Ji, hoping that Lu Ren and Lu Ji could quickly solve this matter. Calculating the time now, the reply from Yizhou should have come back a few days earlier, but there has been no movement so far, how can Lu An not be in a hurry?
Lu An was in a hurry here, and suddenly a cup of fragrant tea with a strong tea fragrance was presented to Lu An, but it was Zhou Yu's wife Xiao Qiao who gave Lu An a cup of freshly brewed tea. Lu An was stunned, and hurriedly thanked Xiao Qiao, and then thought about the rhetoric in his mind, so that he could go back and deal with Sun Shangxiang, Zhou Yu, or Xiao Qiao about funding money and food. It's just that Lu An was thinking about it here, but he found that Xiao Qiao's wonderful eyes had already locked on Zhou Yu in the shed over there, and his eyes were full of obsession and intoxication.
The love between Zhou Yu and Xiao Qiao can be said to be well-known in the Jiangdong realm, and I don't know how many crazy men and women I envy to death. At this moment, Lu An saw Xiao Qiao like this, so he didn't care about anything, but he could take advantage of Xiao Qiao's idiocy to think about his rhetoric. But at this moment, someone gently tugged at Lu An's sleeve, and Lu An frowned and immediately overjoyed when he looked back, because the person who pulled his sleeve turned out to be Chen Yiyi.
Lu An was overjoyed and just wanted to speak, but Chen Yiyi quickly shook his head at Lu An, and after snorting to Xiao Qiao, the person quietly walked to Xiao Qiao's side. Xiao Qiao was a nymphomaniac at this time, and she didn't realize that there was an extra girl next to her, and she didn't know or say it, nor did she realize that Chen Yiyi was by no means an ordinary girl.
Chen Yiyi followed Xiao Qiao's gaze and glanced at Zhou Yu a few times, but couldn't help but sigh lightly: "Jiangdong Mei Zhou Lang really lives up to his reputation, although he is already in his forties, his style is still so outstanding. ā
This was originally a polite sentence with a little bit of pleasing Xiao Qiao, and it was one of Chen Yiyi's more commonly used conversation skills. After she graduated, she became Zhen Mi's assistant, and she also acted as an agent for Zhen Mi's work during Zhen Mi's pregnancy and childbirth, so she knows the importance of conversation skills, and this kind of flattery and flattery flatters the other party, and the next words will be easier to talk about.
It's just that as soon as Chen Yiyi's words came out, Xiao Qiao, who was still a nymphomaniac, unintentionally picked up and said: "I haven't seen Gongjin like this for many years......"
"Uh......"
Xiao Qiao jumped out with such a sentence, which surprised Chen Yiyi, and she didn't know how to answer for a while. Before Chen Yiyi could react, Xiao Qiao opened his mouth again, but instead of talking to Chen Yiyi, it was better to say that Xiao Qiao was there to Zhou Yu and whispered to himself: "Gong Jin, you and I have been married for many years, how can I not know what you think in your heart?" The battle of Chibi has achieved your immortal fame, but it has also pushed you to the cusp of the storm. Even if you are wholeheartedly loyal to Wu Hou, even if Wu Hou knows that you are loyal and righteous, how can the words of others be cut off because of this?
"You are afraid, you are afraid that if you continue like that, your prestige will be far better than Wu Hou, so that the people of Jiangdong will only know you Zhou Lang and not Wu Hou, you are afraid that you will make Wu Hou lose his prestige because of this, make Jiangdong unstable, and even more afraid that you will have the trust of Bo Fu because of this, so you would rather give up the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and would rather wronged yourself in every way, but you also want to return the military power and prestige to Wu Hou step by step. Although you are still smiling in front of others, I know that your ambition is pressed in your heart, and your heart is actually not happy at all.
"Today, God has given you such an opportunity, so that you can live up to Wu Hou and Jiangdong, and you can go to the north to show your talents, and promote the prestige of my Jiangdong disciples to the world, and your original spirit will return to you...... This kind of you is the real you, I really hope that Wu Hou can understand your painstaking ......" (Okay, the bottle reminds me of Sister Zhiling)
āā¦ā¦ā
Chen Yi was stunned when he heard this, and after carefully observing Xiao Qiao's demeanor, he quietly retreated to Lu An's side. Seeing this, Lu An wanted to speak again, but Chen Yiyi waved his hand again and gave Lu An a look, and the two of them quietly left the tea shop and came to a secluded place to talk.
Lu An and Chen Yiyi can be regarded as old acquaintances, because Lu An will also go to Yizhou from time to time to run business and relationships or something, and Lu Ren and Zhen Mi will hand over related matters to Chen Yiyi to take care of, and they will naturally get acquainted with each other. At this moment, when it came to the place to speak, the two of them were not polite, and Chen Yiyi directly conveyed Lu Ren's meaning to Lu An.
According to Lu Ren's meaning, the Lu family of Wujun can fully fund Sun Shangxiang, and in addition, he will deliberately release the tone about this matter, deliberately letting Sun Quan know that it is actually Yizhou who is supporting Sun Shangxiang behind his back. In this way, whether Sun Quan wants to take revenge on Sun Shangxiang or the Lu clan of Wu County, he must first weigh whether it will cause any disputes.
Secondly, according to the distance, Chen Yiyi should have arrived a few days earlier, but Lu Ren did one more thing, that is, to let all Sun Shangxiang's female soldiers on the Japanese island rush back to Jiangdong, so he missed a few days. And this is also something that can't be helped, Sun Shangxiang didn't know what Lu Ren was looking for her at that time, she only brought a few people back, and she almost returned to Wu alone.
Now that there is such a big incident, Sun Quan is not good at Sun Shangxiang on the surface, but it is difficult to say what will happen in secret, if Sun Shangxiang does not have a credible person around him to protect himself, it will be very dangerous. Zhou Yu also took this into account when he found Sun Shangxiang, so he brought a lot of family members with him on the grounds of protecting family members like Xiao Qiao, but in fact, he was protecting Sun Shangxiang.
Again, it's about Zhou Yu. For Zhou Yu, Lu An can't let go of his heart, where can Lu Ren let go of his heart? deliberately sent a right-hand man like Chen Yiyi to Wu County, with the intention of asking Chen Yiyi, who is better at civil and political affairs, to help Sun Shangxiang recruit soldiers, so that Zhou Yu could take a break, and then there would be an excuse to invite Zhou Yu to Lu Ren to drink tea and chat...... Another layer of implicit intention is to let the people recruited by Sun Shangxiang directly obey Sun Shangxiang's command, so that Zhou Yu will not have the opportunity to play any tricks inside.
Another point, if Zhou Yu dares to go to Yizhou to have a face-to-face interview with Lu Ren, it will most likely show that Zhou Yu has no other intentions. Even if there is, with Lu Ren and Xun Yu's ability, they can find it out when they are face-to-face; If Zhou Yu refuses to go to Yizhou to drink tea, then it will be really difficult to say.
At this point, Lu An frowned, and said worriedly: "Lu Yizhou's arrangements can be described as comprehensive, but I just want to invite Zhou Yu to Yizhou to meet Lu Yizhou for an interview, I'm afraid it's difficult, right?" It must be known that Lord Sun calls Zhou Yu 'Brother Zhong', it can be seen that Lord Sun believes in Zhou Yu, if these words are not said well, or if Zhou Yu has the intention to provoke them, I am afraid that we will tear our faces with Lord Sun. ā
Chen Yiyi nodded, but recalled Xiao Qiao's self-talk just now. After thinking carefully for a while, Chen Yiyi muttered: "I thought it would be difficult to open this mouth, but now it seems that maybe inviting Zhou Yu to Yizhou for an interview will be much simpler than I thought." ā
Lu An frowned and said, "Yiyi, you remembered those words of Mrs. Fang Cai, right?" With all due respect, Zhou Yu and Mrs. Xiao Qiao have been in love for many years, and they have long been in touch with each other, and those words of Fang Cai are likely to be said to you on purpose, you must guard against fraud! ā
Chen Yiyi pouted and smiled: "Probably not." ā
Lu An was a little anxious: "You can't be careless!" ā
Chen Yiyi smiled again: "Uncle An, when a woman reveals her true feelings, she has no scheming at all. ā
Lu An was puzzled: "Are you sure?" ā
Chen Yiyi smiled a little embarrassed at this time, and was a little shy: "Uncle An, I'm a woman." ā
āā¦ā¦ā
āāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāā
A few moments later, Sun Shangxiang's training came to an end for the time being, and the Jiangdong disciples found a place to rest. Sun Shangxiang came to the recruiting shed to say hello to Zhou Yu, and was about to ask how many people had been recruited today, when Chen Yiyi, who had been waiting for a long time, came out and called Sun Shangxiang. Sun Shangxiang was also overjoyed when she saw Chen Yiyi, and the next moment when Chen Yiyi called out Sun Shangxiang's two hundred maids, Sun Shangxiang almost cried with joy.
didn't mention how moved Sun Shangxiang was over there, just said that Zhou Yu quietly watched the reunion of Sun Shangxiang and his old department in the shed. And when Sun Shangxiang introduced Chen Yiyi to Zhou Yu, after the two sides saluted, Zhou Yu casually found an excuse to break Sun Shangxiang away, and then asked Chen Yiyi with an unfathomable smile: "I didn't expect Lu Ren to send you to Wu County...... The clipper ship to Yi should already be preparing, right? ā
Chen Yiyi was stunned: "What does Mr. Gongjin mean by this?" ā
Zhou Yu smiled, but in his smile, he revealed a bit of arrogance at the beginning: "What kind of person is Zhou Yu? How could Lu Yizhou not be guarded? If he didn't have an interview with Yu to verify the authenticity, Lu Yizhou would definitely not be at ease. ā
āā¦ā¦ā
Seeing Zhou Yu so direct, Chen Yiyi was a little overwhelmed.
Zhou Yu smiled again: "The recruitment of soldiers here will be handed over to Chen to do the work on his behalf." Yu and his wife have already packed their bags and are ready to board the ship to Yizhou at any time. As for Shang Xiang, Yu has already confessed, and Chen is at ease. ā
Chen Yiyi Zaileng: "Mr. Gongjin wants to take Mrs. Xiao Qiao to Yizhou together?" ā
Zhou Yu nodded lightly: "The matter is so big, if the children of Xiao Qiao and Yu are left in Wu, how can Yu settle down?" ā
Chen Yiyi's jaw almost hit the ground this time: "Mr. Gongjin even has to send his children to Yizhou!?" ā
āāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāā
A few days later, in Yizhou Mangjia, Lu Ren looked at Zhou Yu, Xiao Qiao, and Zhou Yu's two sons and one daughter in shock, and the words that had been prepared were a little unspeakable. Not to mention Lu Ren, even an old fritter like Xun Yu couldn't understand what Zhou Yu was trying to do. Even his wife and children were brought to Yizhou, could it be said that Zhou Yu wanted to change his boss? But thinking about Zhou Yu's personality, it is really not quite the same.
Zhou Yu seemed to be very satisfied with the cold effect he had created. After Lu Ren reacted, he hurriedly ordered someone to take Xiao Qiao and Zhou Yu's children to the post house to rest, Zhou Yu saluted Lu Ren and smiled: "I haven't seen you for many years, Lu Yizhou's style is still the same; Wen Ruogong, who has heard of the name for a long time, hates to see each other, and it is a great relief to see him today. ā
Lu Ren said with a dry smile: "Fengcai is still exempt, I am also an old man who is almost fifty years old, can I not know what I look like?" I said Brother Gongjin, everyone is a smart person, so don't say these false polite words, okay? Honestly, what the hell are you trying to do? Don't tell me anything if you want to vote for a new master, you Zhou Gongjin is definitely not that kind of person! ā
Zhou Yu's face was straight: "Yes, Zhou Yu will definitely not do anything to seek glory from the Lord." It's just that Jiangdong has now fallen into a crisis, and he can only find a way to do something extraordinary to force Jiangdong back from entering the crisis. ā
Lu Renqi said: "Jiangdong will be in danger by mistake? What do you mean by that? I heard that Sun Quan, the lord of Wu, felt that the time had come and wanted to attack our Yizhou counties. ā
Zhou Yu shook his head and sighed: "If Lu Ziming succeeded in one blow more than ten years ago, there was still something to be done to destroy Yizhou. But now, 10 years later...... Lu Yizhou, don't say secret words in front of the Ming people, I, Zhou Yu, would rather use troops against Jingzhou and Cao Jing than provoke you Yizhou. Today's Yizhou, the vast sea area and the advantages of ships are not something that our Jiangdong can afford to provoke. The use of troops at sea is different from that of the inland of the Central Plains, and our Jiangdong has no power to annex Yizhou at all, and after the First World War, it may be possible to obtain a small profit for a while, but what will follow will be an endless retaliation in Yizhou, and the coastal land of Jiangdong will never be peaceful. And the coastal areas of Jiangdong are all the rear hinterland that the Cao and Liu families rely on to resist the enemy, how can we lose? ā
After a pause, Zhou Yu raised his glass: "In terms of military strength, although Lu Yizhou sent heavy troops to the north, it is not difficult to return Yizhou to fight Jiangdong. In addition, Lu Yizhou has always been friendly with the Cao family and Liu Bei, and Jiangdong attacked Yi and betrayed his promise. If Lu Yizhou asked Cao Cao and Liu Bei for help...... Liu Bei has a relationship with Jiangdong and may try to mediate, but Cao Pi will not let go of the opportunity for the army to go south. Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang saw that the mediation could not be successful, and there was a chance that they would tear their faces and fight for the benefits of Jiangdong. Wu Hou didn't see this, but he really thought that the troops of the Cao and Liu families were dragged in the north and Liangzhou, which was a big loss! ā
Lu Ren said: "To put it simply, are you afraid that if Wu Yi's two sides fight, Jiangdong will be picked up by Cao Cao and Liu Bei, right?" It's just that what does this have to do with you helping Shang Xiang recruit soldiers and wanting to go to the north to help in the war? ā
Zhou Yu sighed: "Wu Hou has a narrow and suspicious side, and it is difficult to tolerate people in some things. Shang Xiang did such a big thing in Jianye City, Wu Hou was already gloomy, if we and other Jiangdong ministers went to advise according to the ordinary method, I am afraid that the advice will not succeed, but it will add fuel to the fire. Yu can only use this method to wake up Wu Hou like a stick......"
Xun Yu, who had not spoken, smiled: "Gong Jin probably wants to act on you, but you are named in Wu Hou's name, so as to save Wu Hou's reputation, right?" Indeed, among the ministers of Jiangdong, this matter is only suitable for you to do. Wu Hou is also a wise person, and he should understand your hard work. ā
Lu Ren pretended to be dumb and said: "What Wen Ruogong means is that Gong Jin will send out news from others, saying that Wu Hou can't pull his face in front of Shang Xiang, so he has to ask Gong Jin to come forward to help Shang Xiang in secret?" ā
Xun Yu smiled and looked at Zhou Yu, and Zhou Yu gave Lu Ren and Xun Yu a wry smile in return. They are all smart people, and when they meet each other, they are fighting each other, and who can tell who wins and loses?
