Chapter 947: Cao Cao is completely deflated (second update)

"Five hundred?"

Lu Qun's eyes lit up and said.

"Yes, five hundred." Seeing the change in Lu Qun's demeanor, Chen Xue felt that he had won this mission, and even lying became very natural.

Don't care if the above can really seal the five hundred liehous, let's deceive them back first.

"Okay, let the old man discuss with the princes." After getting Chen Xue's affirmation, Lu Qun pretended to hesitate and said.

"Good. I was just waiting at home for news from my husband. Chen Xue nodded and raised his fists.

Qun said politely.

Chen Xue nodded, got up and left.

Lu Qun got up to see him off, and he sent it to the gate, and the two said goodbye. Lu Qun returned to the mansion, and Chen Xue also walked out of the Lu mansion. When Chen Xue walked out of the Lu Mansion, he looked left and right, and then cautiously walked to the left.

Soon after, Chen Xue met the farmer, who was dressed in coarse linen clothes, very ordinary.

"He agreed, but out of an abundance of caution, he sent someone to keep an eye on the front and back doors to prevent him from snitching." Chen Xue said softly to the farmer.

"Hmm."

The farmer nodded. Immediately, the two staggered, as if they didn't know each other.

Soon after, some people began to stalk outside the Lu Mansion Gate.

After Lu Qun returned to the mansion, he immediately found his second son, Lu Feng. Lu Qun's sons, whether they are the eldest son or the second son, are already in their thirties. The eldest son went to the south, and the main reliance of the family was the second son.

"This time, I have encountered a meritorious work for my father." After Lu Qun saw Lu Feng, he immediately told Lu Feng about the conversation between him and Chen Xue.

"Is my father planning to refuse and betray Chen Xue?" Lu Feng said in surprise.

For Lu Qun to be able to refuse Wei's invitation, it was very wise in Lu Feng's opinion. But betraying Chen Xue is a little incomprehensible. Businessmen are shrewd.

They never put their eggs in one basket. Even the state of Chu is extremely powerful, and it has the momentum to make the world unified. But after all, Cao Wei is not without a chance.

There is no need to sell Chen Qun for this so-called work. If Cao Wei raises troops to the south in the future, what should someone do if they take revenge for Chen?

Both father and son are businessmen, and of course Lu Qun knows what Lu Feng means. He gently patted his son on the shoulder and said, "A merchant shouldn't put his eggs in one basket." But being an official is different, the way to be an official is to move forward bravely once you decide your position. Now that his father has the title of eldest concubine, he has a little capital for educating his grandchildren. Moreover, the attitude of the Son of Heaven towards businessmen is also conducive to us to push our juniors to the official career. The goal of our Lu family is a family of eunuchs, not a family of merchants. ”

Lu Feng was a little ignorant when he heard it, but his father was the person he admired the most. Even if he didn't understand, he nodded and said, "Then what does the father plan to let his son do?" ”

"Go, after leaving the house, immediately go out of the city and go straight to Shouchun. Find General Zuo Huang Zhong to call the shots. ”

Lu Feng said.

This is also done for the sake of prudence, since Shucheng has Chen Xue's spy, there will definitely be other places. Maybe there are people like that around the county commander.

Therefore, the most prudent thing should be to bring the news to the army, and Huang Zhong, the general of the left who is in charge of the entire Huainan, will preside over and arrest him.

Feng also knew the seriousness of the matter, and immediately agreed. Just about to leave, Lu Qun said again: "Change your clothes and walk over the wall." ”

Lu Qun's heart moved just now, afraid that their mansion had been targeted, and if Lu Feng was found to have left in a hurry, it might be a surprise.

Wind nodded and left.

"Wei State? Compared with the Wei State, the Chu State is more in line with the old man's wishes. After Lu Feng left, Lu Qun stroked his beard, smiled, and said.

On the other side, Lu Feng carefully obeyed Lu Qun's order, changed into a subordinate clothes, climbed over the wall and went out of Lu's mansion, and then went directly to the horse market, bought a fast horse, quickly left Shucheng, and went straight to Shouchun.

After galloping for a long time, Lu Feng came to the camp of General Zuo and Huang Zhong.

"The barracks are important, leave quickly." After Lu Feng approached the camp, the soldiers guarding the door shouted very unceremoniously.

"I am Shucheng, the son of the eldest chief Lu Qun, because my father found Cao Wei's spies, so he sent me over to ask General Zuo to be the master, and also asked the sergeant to pass it on."

Lu Feng dismounted his horse and said respectfully to the guards guarding the door.

In addition to enjoying the benefits of the field, the chief can also have some benefits at this time. At least not grass people.

"Wait a minute."

After hearing this, the chief who guarded the door was taken aback, but he also believed that no one would joke about this kind of thing, especially the son of the eldest chief.

Therefore, after the chief said very politely, he quickly turned around and entered the barracks.

Huang Zhong is the left general, the head of the five major generals in the front and back, and the status is second only to Pang Tong and Xu Shu, who are the generals of the left and right armies. led 30,000 troops to sit in Shouchun, and controlled the former general Tai Shici and the right general Gan Ning, and jointly guarded Jianghuai.

Huang Zhong, as a veteran of the Chu State, is loyal. The barracks under his rule are scattered, and the soldiers are very capable.

On this day, Huang Zhong read in the big tent of the Chinese army, which is Huang Zhong's habit, in the army, as long as he has free time, he will not release the book.

"General, there is a person outside the door who claims to be the son of Lu Qun, the chief of Shucheng, who asks to see him. said that it was the discovery of Cao Wei's spies. At this time, the chief walked in and reported.

"Oh?" Huang Zhong's eyes showed a hint of surprise, and then he was quite interested.

After the conquest of the Jianghuai region, there was no more fighting. Over the years, Kou Feng's courtesy to Huang Zhong has become more and more prominent, and the number of knights has reached 1,000 households.

Huang Zhong has always felt a little ashamed. Now that a large-scale spy operation has been discovered, some useful information may be obtained.

"Please come in at once."

Huang Zhong raised his hand and said.

"No."

Shi Chang agreed, and immediately turned around and walked out.

Soon after, Lu Feng entered the Chinese army's tent to meet Huang Zhong, and then Huang Zhong sent a large army.

…………………….

Chengdu, in the palace of the king of Chu.

Kou Feng sat in the side hall, dealing with the expressions that came up from all over the place. Since the territory has become bigger and bigger, there are more and more people under him. Kou Feng's daily workload is declining more and more.

Most of them were handed over to Jiang Wan, and the important ministers reviewed them together.

That's because Kou Feng believes that Jiang Wan and the others are all virtuous ministers, and nothing will happen.

However, as the Son of Heaven. Kou Feng also kept in mind the teachings of the sages, and did not put these rights in his hands, even if Jiang Wan and others had reviewed the expressions, Kou Feng would patiently read them.

so as not to have a situation of abusing power for personal gain.

In addition, although Jiang Wan and others can use it, they can't rely too much on it. For example, Qi Huan's public pipe is the phase, and the spring and autumn period is dominant. But after Guan Zhong's death, Qi Huan Gong had no opinions.

In the end, he used traitors, and was locked up in the palace by several traitors and starved to death. After his death, his sons competed for the throne. The corpse was left unattended for sixty-seven days, the corpse stinked, and a generation of Ming Jun ended miserably.

A lesson from the past, a teacher for the future.

"Your Majesty, General Zuo's urgent report from Huang Zhong."

At this moment, Jiang Wan walked in from outside, carrying a fold in his hand.

Huang Zhong? Or is it an urgent report, could it be that Jianghuai is in war again? Kou Feng's gaze froze, and he immediately stretched out his hand. Jiang Wan handed the fold in his hand to Kou Feng.

Soon, Kou Feng opened the fold, and after taking a look, he immediately loosened his brows, and he was quite happy. It is written above that Cao Cao sent spies to lure Lu Qun, the chief of Shucheng, but the lure failed, and he was denounced by Lu Qun. Huang Zhong directly sent troops and captured the spy first.

Then he followed the vine and captured ten spies arranged by Cao Wei in the Jianghuai area. You know, spies, spies and the like are secretive.

Not to mention the ancient such a backward communication and identification system. It's even harder to catch the spies. Now he can capture more than ten in one fell swoop, and the spies of Jianghuai have been emptied.

How could Kou Feng be unhappy?

However, in addition to Huang Zhong's results, Lu Qun's affairs also attracted Kou Feng's attention.

In the past, although Kou Feng was more kind to businessmen, he may not be close to his heart, because no matter what era, he is really no businessman or traitor.

There are many traitors.

For example, during the Ming Dynasty in later generations, there was even a situation where merchant groups collectively betrayed the country, which created the foundation for the Manchu Qing Dynasty to enter the customs. Kou Feng used the power of merchants to open up the south, and it was just a matter of time.

Therefore, after Kou Feng ordered the technology of the book to be disseminated, he was mentally prepared that this technology would be introduced to the north sooner or later. But the appearance of Lu Qun made Kou Feng quite excited.

What kind of people do the merchants have to divide into?

"The edict announced this matter to the world, and gave Lu Qun 300 gold and 200 Shu brocade as a reward. Order, issued an edict to the more than 70 merchants who had obtained the technology of making Chu books, telling them that Chu Shu was a national weapon of Chu, and if anyone dared to leak it to anyone. Alone will destroy his nine tribes. It's the Nine Clans. On the contrary, if you report the spies, you will be rewarded. ”

Kou Feng said.

Originally, Kou Feng thought that he had the confidence to calm the world within ten years anyway, and the Book of Chu would spread and go out. Now we can restrain the merchants and prevent Chu Shu from spreading, at least in the short term.

That's also very good.

"No."

Jiang Wan promised and immediately went down to draw up the edict.

"Mengde, Mengde, even the merchants of the Lonely Chu Kingdom look down on you." After Jiang Wan left, Kou Feng's face showed a happy smile and muttered to himself.

Why is Lu Qun, a businessman, so loyal? If you want to say die-hard, then Kou Feng doesn't believe it. Kou Feng is naturally guessing, because of the strength of the Chu State.

The state of Chu is thriving, and its prosperity is constantly going up. Probably the one who feels it most clearly is the businessman.

"I don't know how many spies Meng De has sent to Chu State, and how many will be exposed by those businessmen." Immediately, Kou Feng stretched his waist and said with a smile.

He was ready to wait and see.

After Kou Feng issued the edict, those merchants did not let Kou Feng wait for a long time.

After about a month, spies were constantly captured in Yizhou, Jingzhou, Yangzhou, and Nanzhou. Although it will not destroy all the spies sent by Cao Cao in the south.

But I'm afraid it's already a big injury.
