Chapter 602: Zhuge solves the riddle
When Liu Bei heard Zhuge Liang say this, he also pressed his heart and was impatient, and motioned for Zhuge Liang to sit down and speak.
Zhuge Liang didn't rush to sit down, and only then did he sit down after taking the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and he didn't speak, but picked up the pen and wrote intently. With only a stick of incense, the paper was already densely filled with words.
"Please take a look." Zhuge Liang got up and sent the writing he had just written to the desk in front of Liu Bei.
Liu Bei was suspicious in his heart, and looked down carefully. After just one look, he couldn't take his eyes off.
What Zhuge Liang wrote was nothing else, it was the list of Jiangdong families. Among them, they are divided into the old school, headed by the four surnames of Lu Gu, Zhu and Zhang, as well as the upstarts, led by the Bu family and other big families that rose because of Sun Quan's succession.
"This ......" Liu Bei was surprised and delighted, his hands trembled unconsciously, and he was so excited.
This is not so much a list of the Jiangdong clans as the foundation of Soochow. This list is outrageously detailed, including the representatives of the various Jiangdong families who served as officials in the court, the in-laws between the families, and the spheres of influence of each family.
The circle of cultural people is complex, especially in this current period.
To put it bluntly, cultural people belong to hornets, and if you provoke one, you can provoke a bunch of them. The various families in Jiangdong have been entrenched in Jiangdong for many years, and they have deepened their ties with each other through marriage.
Internally, there are endless disputes. Externally, they can also work together.
The Jiangdong families are closely connected, and they can be extended to the outside. For example, the Jiangdong cultural circle has always had a close relationship with the Jingxiang cultural circle, and when Lu Yao took Huang Yueying away, he offended Huang Chengyan, thus offending the entire Jingxiang cultural circle, and was squeezed out by the Jingxiang cultural circle, and it was difficult to recruit talents, so that he lost the opportunity to recruit top strategists such as Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong.
The Jiangdong cultural circle was also very exclusive to Lu Yao at the beginning. If it weren't for Lu Yao and Sun Jian's support, he would not have gotten the tacit consent of the Jiangdong cultural circle to accept Lu Xun's righteous son.
In the same way, the formation of the Jingxiang cultural circle has a great relationship with the Yellow Turban Rebellion. Previously, the north was the cultural center of the Central Plains, and some celebrities and scholars could not bear the suffering of war and went south to Jingxiang, and finally formed the Jingxiang cultural circle. It can be said that the Jingxiang cultural circle is inextricably linked with the northern cultural circle.
After a set, the Jiangdong families can even affect the whole country. This is one of them.
Second, back to the point. The various families in Jiangdong are deeply rooted in Jiangdong and affect all aspects of the entire Jiangdong. points, it can cause turmoil in Jiangdong.
Whoever gets the support of Jiangdong is equivalent to taking Jiangdong into his pocket.
At the beginning, Sun Jianyi relied on the prominent status of his grandson's descendants, secondly, he had a heavy army, and thirdly, because the Sun family was also a part of the Jiangdong family, so he easily occupied Jiangdong.
However, the list written by Zhuge Liang is very detailed, especially in the old-school Lu family. Liu Bei is not stupid, he can see the clue at a glance.
Lu Xun, the son of the Jiangdong Lu family, is the son of King Zhuya, and now he has personally led a sailor, and his grace is incomparable.
With Lu Xun's relationship, the Lu family, one of the four surnames in Jiangdong, has a ticket that can be boarded at any time, and sits firmly on the Diaoyutai, which makes other families envious.
Putting the family in a bigger, stronger basket is the way to go.
Now the King of Zhuya sits on the entire Zhuya, with strong soldiers and horses, and famous generals like clouds, which can be described as the largest force in the world. The Lu family has Lu Xun's line, and no matter what, they can protect the family for at least another hundred years. If King Zhuya intends to be in the Central Plains and compete for the world, it may not be impossible for the future lord of the world to be. Then the Lu family is a national relative, the home of the prince.
On the other hand, Lu Yao can also influence the Lu family with Lu Xun's line. The four surnames of Jiangdong were originally old and powerful, and through the Lu family, Lu Yao could also influence the other three, thus affecting the Jiangdong families.
Lu Xun is not Lu Yao's only confidence in influencing Jiangdong now, and now he has one more step trainer.
The Jiangdong Bu family is also a big family. Previously, after the four surnames of the Bujia family in Jiangdong, when Sun Quan succeeded to the throne, the Bujia was reused by Sun Quan by virtue of the step trainer, and became a new upstart in Jiangdong, which is very important.
Sun Quan is now hyping up the death of the foot trainer and posthumously crowning him the queen in order to stabilize the step family. But these insiders knew that the foot trainer was about to enter the Zhuya Queen's Harem. The step family also knows. Now that Sun Quan's choice is acquiesced, it is nothing more than a temporary dormancy, and when Eastern Wu is weak, the Bu family can jump on the big ship of King Zhuya with the help of the step trainer, and they can also get the status of a national relative.
The old magnates have the Lu family, and the new upstarts have the Bu family.
Among the old and new magnates, there is a relationship between the king of Zhuya, Lu Yao, which is too terrifying. If it is not launched, it will be done, and once it is launched, it will inevitably affect the situation in Jiangdong as a whole.
Turn your hands into clouds, and turn your hands into rain.
Liu Bei was secretly frightened, he thought that he had paid enough attention to Lu Yao, but it turned out that he still far underestimated Lu Yao's hole cards. With only the Lu family and the Bu family, Lu Yao was able to control Jiangdong.
In this way, even if Cao Cao avoided the Yangtze River moat, as long as King Zhuya did not speak, who would dare to move?
It's horrible.
No wonder so arrogant!
No wonder you have such confidence!
No wonder there is a direct threat from the carriage and horses!
Liu Bei broke out in a cold sweat. He is not an ordinary man, he sees further. When Lu Yao did this, he had clearly become the actual controller of the world. Whoever wants to live will live, and whoever wants to die will die. Once Soochow is destroyed, the rest can only bow down and obey orders.
How can this be!
Zhuge Liang saw Liu Bei's expression change between his eyebrows, and shook his head secretly. He saw it too. Soochow has become the last bargaining chip that determines the ownership of the world. Between extinction and immortality, it is a completely different matter.
However, it is of no avail.
Lu Yao, the king of Zhuya, made it clear that the carriage and horses were going to do a big job, with many advantages, and there were powerful princes like Cao Cao joining forces, looking at the world, who could be the enemy? All the obstacles in front of King Zhuya will either be wiped out or wiped out. There is no other option.
Lu Yao's last sentence "In front of this king, how can he come to the Han thief" became the last straw that made him decide to agree to Lu Yao.
The Han thief refers not only to Cao Cao, but also to all the princes who will try to usurp the throne and destroy the Han family in the future.
Lu Yao used the word thief to declare his meaning domineeringly. With him, no one wants to make trouble. Forget about internal fighting, whoever wants to be the emperor and unify the world, then kill him.
And then you can't ask for the second.
Zhuge Liang saw through this, so he could only maximize his interests and choose to join forces with Lu Yao. After all, the only orthodox Han family today, Emperor Xian is still in Chengdu, occupying the name of righteousness. If Cao Cao dares to make a move, he can join forces with Lu Yao to scare him.
"If Dongwu dies, Zhu Ya can replace him. The trend of three-point world has been achieved, and the lord must not make mistakes. Zhuge Liang shook his head and sighed lightly, reminding him vaguely.
"Prime Minister......" Liu Bei sighed and looked at Zhuge Liang directly, hoping that Mr. Wolong, who was famous all over the world, could point out another way out. He has been in exile for decades, and once he became rich, he really doesn't want to live under others anymore.
"The general trend has been achieved, the lord thinks twice." Zhuge Liang arched his hand and sighed.
Liu Bei's face changed even in a variety of ways, and finally shook his head gloomily: "Okay, invite the prince to discuss it again tomorrow." ”
