Sun Shangxiang returned to Jiangdong for the New Year, which undoubtedly gave Sun Quan and Jiangdong a lot of face. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info is to ask from ancient times to the present, how many people dare to let the hostages go back so casually? Besides, Lu Ren asked Sun Shangxiang to bring a "New Year gift" that is very important...... Three thousand pounds of white silver! In those days, did you know what a huge sum of money it was?

Of course, no one in the Sun Quan group would think that this was a manifestation of Lu Ren's fear of Sun Quan. On the contrary, Lu Ren showed a disdainful attitude, and to put it bluntly, "Lao Tzu is not afraid of you turning your face and playing tricks", which is completely different from the original historical Shixie's respectful attitude towards Sun Quan. Therefore, no one in the Sun Quan Group dared to say anything to Sun Quan at this time, such as detaining Sun Shangxiang. And in the hearts of some people, they still suspect that Lu Ren is pretending to be generous, just waiting for you Sun Quan to take the initiative to turn his face, and then Lu Ren can do something to Sun Quan......

Let's not talk about this, anyway, Sun Shangxiang went back to Jiangdong to visit relatives for the New Year, and Lu Ren sent Lu Xun over to engage in diplomacy with Sun Quan, and Sun Quan didn't set up a banquet to entertain Lu Xun. It's just that it seems a little embarrassing to come here like this, after all, Lu Xun was originally Sun Quan's subordinate, but now he has become Lu Ren's subordinate, and the two sides always feel a little weird about each other.

Fortunately, everyone is smart, and no one will say anything about some sensitive topics. On the other hand, Lu Xun did not have much name at this time, and the talents he showed were not very outstanding, and more often he was like an ordinary Confucian student. In fact, Lu Xun really became famous and became a great weapon in the battle against Liu Bei many years later, relying on a fire to burn Liu Bei's 700-mile company camp, before this everyone thought that Lu Xun was a scholar, so although Lu Xun now voted for Lu Ren, Sun Quan did not feel any pity.

In the banquet again, Sun Quan inevitably tried to ask Sun Shangxiang and Lu Xun about the situation in Yizhou. Lu Xun is a smart person, of course he will avoid those who should be avoided, but Sun Shangxiang is more straightforward, and directly said that he has been mixing around on Wadao Island for the past year, and he has lived a comfortable business of fighting, beating people, and mining. When Sun Quan asked how much silver they had come back from Wadao this year, Lu Xun's sentence of "more than 30,000 catties" shocked Sun Quan and the others' faces a little pale.

They are all people who can govern and understand the economy, what a great wealth is 30,000 catties of silver, and how much money, food, and ordnance can be purchased? And it's only the first year, so what about the back? What's even worse is that Lu Ren not only knows how to make money, but also knows how to spend money. Faced with such a No. 1 person, Sun Quan's scalp was a little numb.

When everything that should be said was almost the same, Sun Shangxiang, who was accompanying him in the banquet, raised his glass to Sun Quan: "Brother, after the New Year, I plan to take those two thousand Jiangdong children to Wadao again, you won't object, right?" ”

Sun Quanxin said, "How can I object to this?" And Lu Ren's intention to give each of the two thousand Jiangdong children a pound of silver, can't Sun Quan see it? Even if Sun Quan stopped him, as soon as Sun Shangxiang spoke, most of the two thousand Jiangdong disciples were willing to follow Sun Shangxiang to go to Wadao again, okay? So when it comes to Sun Quan's body, why did Sun Quan bother to be this wicked person?

Taking a step back, wouldn't it be a good thing if Sun Shangxiang could bring another three to five thousand catties of silver back next year when he came back for the New Year? Really, in that era, as long as there was food, there was no need to spend money to fight? And Sun Quan also calculated, if you give 2,000 people and bring 5,000 catties back, then I will give 2,000 more people this time, so that it will be the time for the Chinese New Year next year...... We don't plan to do that with 10,000 catties, a slight discount, and 8,000 catties can always be brought back, right? With so much money, you can do a lot of things. Besides, after these people are sent out, they can also mix some equipment from Lu Ren.

It's just that after this idea was said, Sun Shangxiang thought it was good, but Lu Xun politely declined. The situation on the Wajima side itself is gradually stabilizing, and it doesn't need too many troops, and if there are too many Jiangdong soldiers, it is easy to have unnecessary conflicts with the Yizhou soldiers.

Moreover, on the side of Wadao, Lu Ren's troops stationed on the island and Sun Quan's troops needed to have a relative superiority in troops, and the previous ratio was three to two, that is, Lu Xun had 3,000 troops and Sun Shangxiang had 2,000 people. According to this strategy, if Sun Quan sends additional troops, Lu Ren will naturally have to send corresponding troops over, otherwise the relationship between the main and secondary sides of Wadao will be reversed. However, Lu Ren's troops were limited and the battle line was long, so it was inconvenient to assign too many troops to places like Wajima that did not need too many troops.

Of course, Lu Xun wouldn't say that, and Lu Ren also calculated that Sun Quan might sell it after getting cheap, and he would do something to increase investment, so he also gave an explanation to Lu Xun. So after Lu Xun said some kind words, the conversation immediately changed: "How can Wu Hou move the soldiers lightly now?" Jiangbei Cao Gong is about to raise troops, Wu Hou should leave more soldiers and horses to deal with it. ”

One sentence stabbed Sun Quan in the soft underbelly. When Lao Cao came back from beating Ma Chao and Han Sui, he was preparing to send troops to Hefei, and of course Sun Quan inquired. And at this time, send the soldiers somewhere else...... Although he just wanted to send an additional 2,000 people to Sun Shangxiang to make a fortune on Wadao, it was still a little unreasonable. 2,000 people is not much, but when it comes to fighting, isn't it also "when the soldiers are used, they hate less"?

The happy time of the New Year always passes quickly, and in a blink of an eye it is already the middle of the first month of the seventeenth year of Jian'an, Sun Shangxiang and Lu Xun once again took the more than 2,000 Jiangdong children to Yizhou by boat, and after completing the preparations in Yizhou, they will go to Wadao again.

In a blink of an eye, it was already the spring and February of the seventeenth year of Jian'an, Xun Yu was preparing the spring ploughing plan in Xuchang Shangshu Mansion as always, and suddenly the messenger sent by Cao Cao arrived, saying that Cao Cao was going to send troops to Hefei to attack Sun Quan, and asked Xun Yu to prepare a large amount of grain and grass to send over, and at the same time asked Xun Yu to go to the **** of Qian County.

On the bright side, this is not a big deal. Xun Yu is the person next to the Son of Heaven, and if he goes to ****, it is equivalent to Xun Yu coming forward to treat the soldiers on behalf of the Son of Heaven, Xun Yu naturally has no reason to refuse, so he is busy preparing, and no one else has noticed anything unusual.

But there is only one exception, that is Xun Yu's youngest son Xun Cang. Xun Cang is the person that Lu Ren deliberately sent back to Xun Yu's side, and for some related things, Lu Ren certainly greeted Xun Yu in advance. So when he saw these things, Xun Cang was frightened, and hurriedly went to find the relevant people according to Lu Ren's request.

There was no movement for a while, and Xun Yu escorted a large amount of money and grain to Qian County. When the things that should be done were done, Lao Cao asked Xun Yu to "serve the Guanglu doctor and participate in the prime minister's military".

At this time, Xun Yu's heart suddenly tightened, and he secretly thought, "I really didn't expect it!" It's going to happen so fast! ”

Xun Yu sat in the rear all the year round to take charge of internal affairs, and Cao Cao basically never took him with him wherever he went on the expedition. Now all of a sudden, Xun Yu has to leave Xuchang, an important place where he sits in the town all the year round, and he has to join the prime minister's military with the army, so what does this mean!?

Clenched his fists hard, Xun Yu respectfully accepted the order, but his heart was already in chaos. Looking up at the sky again, Xun Yu said to himself: "Sure enough, it's exactly as Yihao said...... Cao Mengde, I have read countless people in my life, and I have never looked at it, but I didn't expect to make a big mistake with you! ”

In the spring and March of the seventeenth year of Jian'an, Xun Yu followed Lao Cao to Shouchun, and fell ill in bed. Lao Cao didn't bother to pay too much attention to it, so he left Xun Yu to recuperate in Shouchun, and went to Misu with the army himself. When it was time to wet the beard, Lao Cao heard that Xun Yu's condition was worsening, but he didn't come to visit as quickly as before, but just sent a close attendant to greet him.

When the attendant reported to Cao Cao that Xun Yu seemed to be very ill, Cao Cao just snorted coldly, and asked him to take something and hand it to the attendant: "The lonely commander of the army should not leave lightly, and he can't visit Wen Ruo in person, so he can only give him precious food to express his gratitude." You take this food box and rush to Wenruo to pass on your heart to Lonely. ”

Within a few days, this food box was passed to Xun Yu's hand. Waving off the attendants, Xun Yu opened the box on the sickbed, but there was nothing inside, Xun Yu shook his head and smiled bitterly: "We have been friends for twenty years, but I don't want to do it today!" Cao Mengde, since you think I am useless, why should I bother to force it? Maybe you and I have to work together, so let's break it off...... I just didn't expect Lu Yihao to be so accurate. ”

After a wry smile, he sat still, and once he sat down, he didn't know how long he had been sitting. It wasn't until it was dark that Xun Yu came back to his senses, waved off the attendant with a long sigh, and then quietly took out a bag of things. Looking at the bag of things in his hand, Xun Yu shook his head again, and after a few long sighs, he was about to open the bag, but Lu Ren's sigh quietly sounded in Xun Yu's ears, and Xun Yu's hand holding the bag was also held by a strong hand.

"Xun Gong, why are you doing this? Did the Son of Heaven not preach anything to you? Or are you just trying to make your will clear with death, and you don't even want to listen to the words of the Son of Heaven? ”

Because this came down too suddenly, Xun Yu was so shocked that even the cold hairs on his body stood up. And in the fright, the bag also fell to the ground......

Late one night in Shouchun City, the sound of messy horses' hooves broke the harmony that should have been here.

"Prime Minister Qi, Xun Lingjun is gone! There is a book on his couch, please take a look! ”

Cao Cao, who came galloping all the way, was still panting on his horse, and Xu Chu on the side took the letter from the hand of the attendant and handed it to Cao Cao. After Cao Cao unfolded and took a closer look at it by the firelight, he tore the letter to pieces in a fit of rage, and pointed to a few attendants kneeling in front of Xun Yu's post house in Shouchun, and scolded: "You bastards! How did Lone explain it to you at the time, huh!? You incompetent waste, what's the use of it! Where is Xu Zhongkang!? (To be continued.) )
